of paralysis, after an illness of Nv enty-
four hours, aged sevcnty.oue years. He
was formerly engaged in the Canton trade,
but retired many years since. A bachelor
regular and somewhat peculiar in his
habiis-decided in his opinons-gencr-
Gus. when, according TO his convictions, 1t
was judicious so TO be-lranLly and cour-
teously declining to give his assistance 10
enterprises which did not meet with his
svmpalhies, Mr.. BromGcld was warmly "a
tachcd to his friends, and respected most
by those who knew him best. His in
formation was varied and extensive, and
his manners those of gentleman. Not
long since, he gave to the Boston AthcnT-
um, for the purchase Of books, hccnty-
fire thousand dollars; and il gives us
pleasure to copy from the BoSt0n Tran
script the following statement of The adj
mirable disposition he has made, by will,
Of the larger part Of his large property
We understand that Mr.. Bromfcld

Aid Society $4,000; making, with the
addition of his gift to the Boston Athe-

In addition to these amounts, Mr.. Brom-
field left upwards of 500, 600 10 relatives

From some little personal knowledge,
we suspect that private and delicate gifts

as honorable to his kind feelings as these
large and public donations are to his inter-

by the Sanduskian, that Sandusky City
was, on Wednesday evening last, the scene
of most violent and disgraceful riot. The
occasion was the notice of lecture TO be
delivered by Leahcy, the Monk" upon
the subject of " 1.-The seduction Of ladies', IN
the confessional, by Popish priests, and
the sale Of Ireland to Henry II, King OF
England, in lI51." A large concourse
Of lrishmen was collected, and the melee
commenced by an assault upon the door
keeper Of the hall, who was severely beat
en- and kicked, and was rescued with great
difficulty. An attack was then made upon
he monk. whose fate was similar. A
young man by the name Of Henry Booth
was also severely handled. The monk
lost his coat, vest, watch and $3.50 III
money. Several pistol shots were fired,
and the persons attacked barely escaped
with their lives. The Sanduskian says
The whole fracas lasted but 1.-THE
more than five minutes, but in that short
time the worst passions were lie, loose.
\ large, long carpenters chisel was
wrenched from one of the assailants, with
blood upon 80. $. JourBa,.
