RIoTING AT ST. LoUIs.-The riot upon the levee
Friday evening, says the ST. Louis Republican of
the 2Sd, was not unattended, as we are informed,
by personal injury. Several of the contendipg
parties, as also Mr.. Brooke, spec,ator were ses
verely beaten and seriously injured. The steamer
Gov. Briggs was completely taken possession Of her
crew driven ashore, and she remained at the mercy
Of the rioters for some minutes. A man on the
steamer Iowa, while engaged at his labor. was
without prOvoeation, assaulted and stabbed bnt
not dangerously; while every one whe favored tbe
weaker party had to flee OF make stern resistance
AT the present time thereaie large number of boats
laid up at our port, from which hundreds of Irish
deck hands have been dismissed, among whom a
sectional feeling seems to exist Several days since
quarrel arose between Two of these parties-one
haing from the South and the other from the North
OF Ireand-which has since been taken up by the
representatives from each section, and the result
has been that several fights have ensued between
them. A strong police force was stationed along
the levee yesterday, and up TO nine O'Clock last
evening no farther demonstration to riot had been
made by either party.

PHILADELPHIA PoLICB, July 10. How Mrs
Elisabeth PoOle lDas frightened Betsey Poole,
Gas she is called by her neighbors and intimate
irends.) came to the Police office last evening in
great distress and anxiety Of mind, and requested
some of the officers 10 hasten to her dwelling in
CaTter's Alley, as her husband, Mr. Norris Poole,
was making preparations TO commit suicide. He
had bought razor and a strOp, las she informed
the Policemen, expressly for the purpose, and was
engaged in whetting the instrument Of death in or
der to make the operation of cutting his throat as
smooth and pleasant as possible. The Captain of
the Watch, in answer to Mrs. POOle's earnest en-
treaties that some one might be sent to her house to
prevent misehef-told her that her husband was
only amusing himself by giving her fright and that
when he was done wheltng his razor, he would
finish the joke by shaving himself. Besides,
added the captain, If he even should be fool
enough to kill himself, good-lOoking young woman
like you could soon provide herself with another
husband" Ah,'' replied Mrs. Poole, with re-
doubled emotion, " that's the very thing-my old
man has made sUiu" " So much the better, re-
turned the Captain of the Watch, if the will is
made let him do the deed as soon as he thinks pro-
per-" " Not for the world, )" says hlrs.P., sObbing,
" he has done many thing, poor soul, that he
ought to repent Of; and I'D like for him to have
time to mend his ways and TO make an alteration
IN that will for he's got it set down there that
mustn't get married again-and-Pve as good as
promised myself to big Ike Anderson already "
The captain Immediately perceived that the lady
had reason on her side, so he despatched a watch
man 10 keep Mr. Poole from cutting his throat, until
ne would make more satisfactory arrangement of
hls iempoTalities, ~ eRsyEVaHiaR,

delegation from the Oiibway nation is now in
Montreal, making a claim for payment for their
lands They say they have never ceded to the I'm

their territory, but that the Provincial authorities
have been ceding away the lands to mining com
panies, receiving pay therefor, and giving the In
dams nothing. They say that the secure possession
Of these lands has been guaranteed to them by the
British Government, but thafthe Colonial Govern
ment takes them without consulting them or paying
anything to the Indians One of the chiefs is re-

had always had the reputation Of being honest, and
that the Indians did not think the pale faces would
rob their red brethren that the English always
bosted of their superiority over the Americans in
honesty but that when the Indian goes to the Pres
dent of the United States he does not come back
empty-handed. The truth Of the case seems to be,
that the Ojbways have been outrageously swinded
by the Canadian Government. which is unwilling
TO pay back the Bl2,000. The matter is Of impor-

The PLEDGE! THE PLEDGE Father Ma
thew's success in his Temperance campaign re-
minds us Of the fairy legends which are SO thicky
interviewer with the recolections of his native
land-of the strOngholds and giant towers which
hold captive numberess fair maidens, with all their
hOrrd tales and frghtul surmses of imps and spells
and enchaniment, and which, in some lucky Iay.
fell before the proWess of some single Chief or
Saint, who delivered the thankful inmates from
their lives of slavery and magic.
He has attacked the stronghold of the giant In
temperance, in Brooklyn, and almost at once, we
might say, made free over 5000 souls. To-day he
has opened his campaign in this city, and his num-
bers have been greatly augmented. When we
were at the school house in Mulberry street, at
about l2i o'clock, there were over 500 enrolled,
and he had commenced giving the pledge but
short time. Great numbers were still continuing
to pour in.
In the course of the day the worthy father ad-
dressed the people who were coming and going
several times, and related many anecdotes, reli-
gious and humorous, all tending to enlighten his
hearers or bearing some point to the Temperance
question.
Several persons came to shake hands with the
father, who had taken the pledge in Ireland, some
as far back as IA or Is years, and others recalled
his memory back to some Of the great meetings
held in the 0uld Country, at which his face lit
up and his eye frightened as he spoke of the thou-
sands who were there. We predict much good
from whatwe witnesssd.-M Y. Tribune 20h.

DEATH OF GENERAL Lyman. This distin-
guished gentleman died of consumption at Brook
line (Mass.) on the 18th, in the 55th year of his
age. He was a man of wealth and Of large I'M
published charities man Of refinement and let
ters possessing of the best collection Of books
in the country, and enjoyed them. He had been
Mayor of Boston, and was President Of the Boston
Farm School, and the Prison Discipline Society
The Chronotype besiows upon him the following
fne eulogy: We do MT know where to look for
a man in the upper circle Of society, who was so
extensively known, respected and loved in all cir
cles. Many tear viii drop for him in very hum
BILE homes Many struggling, hard up man
will call to mind and bless that thin, sharp, atten-
uated face, full Of soul and dignity, which never
passed poor acquaintance in the street without a
kind recognition, and never turned the needyaway
without help The memory of the just is blessed"
DHs- The eulogy pronounced recently in Phila-
delphia by Mr. Dallas, late Vice President to the
memory Of Mr.. Polk, is published at the north.
We give from il the following brief picture of the
social character Of Mr. Polk:
In his personal department, he was plain, unaf-
fected, aifable and kind. In no one respect that
am aware Of, did he depart from consistent sim
plicity Of life and purity OF manners. All his hab-
its were exemplary and regulated. He was tenn
perate but not unsocial, industrious but accessible
punctual but patient, moral without austerity,
devotional though not bigoted. Accustomed,
through long service, TO observe the diversities
exhibited by opinion on every subject, he was never
surprised or provoked by any Of its phases into
individual intolerance. His ordinary intercourse
and associations were equally respectful and cor
dial with the friends and the foes of his politics.
And must be pardoned for adding that, in this
general amenity towards his fellow citizens, with
out distinction of party, condition, or preIenson
he was aided by welded partner, TO whom, ali
who had the happiness TO know her, have united
as with a single voice. in awarding that high and
ahechonate tribute, won only by irreproachable
conduct, intelligence, gentleness, and virtue
