p LARGE DAMAGES FOR A FoRcIBLE
eE5RcrMEET FROM A RAIwK1 CAB.-:1n
pthe, case of Thomas Reyes VS. VIM. B.
4 Lawton and others, for assault and bat
terry, tried before the Supreme Court of
Rhode Island, the Jury rendered a yer-
dict for the plaintiff for $4,000. The
. Providence Journal says that the action
&, was brought for an assault committed
apon the plaintiff while a passenger in
the Stouington cars. by the defendants
who were officers in the cars, and for a
, forcible ejectment from the cars.
. We understand that the assault for
which this suit was brought, commenced
by controversy between the plaintiff
and brakeman about the smoky condition
of the cars, and ended by the former be-
ing thrown from the train and seriously
injured. Trans.

~ We have already announced the
arrival, in this country, Of the famous
George Thompson, the noted English
Aboitionist He has been imported by
the aboitionists in this country, to as
sist in increasing The excitement rea-
i've TO the Fugitive Slave Law. Ii will
be recolecied by our readers that he
visited America several years ago, and
leciured on the subject of slavery in our
principal cities. Since that time he has
become II member Of Parliament, and he
is now imported by the abolitionists, as
we have stated, for the purpose of crea-
ting domestic trouble here. His friends
pretend that he comes merely TO travel,
and deliver lectures on scientific and his
torical subjects. We do not believe this
assertion, for we see it stated in IA report
of the proceedings of a meeting At the
London Tavern in honor Of Mr.. Thomp-
son. shortly before his departure for this
country, thft he had accepted f200 n
year 'ior advocating the cause of anti
slavery" He described William Lloyd
Garrison as ia glorious being" and de-
nounccd the Liberia Colonization
scheme. A fugitive slave, whom he
introduced TO the meeting, told them
that Daniel Webster was to be re-
gardcd as the worst enemy of man
from Herod down to Marshal Uaynau."
A correspondent OF the Journal Of Com
merce writes of Mr.. Thompson 1.-THE
incendary's present errand is TO strike
while the iron is hot--.t aggravatc the
heats produced by the Fugitive Slave
Bill. All true Americans, whatever
may he their feelings and opinions in
regard to the law. will repel such i'm
| pudent and sinister intrusion into their
domestic concerns, as the pretended
nposlcship of this foreigner.
This is the fellow who comes 10 our
shores for the express purpose Of Great
ing civil war, and spreading anarchy
and confusion throughout the country.
A fellow who would countcnauce neg.
ro in making the above assertion against
such distinguished statcsman as Dan
iel Webster, and who, in the same
breath, would laud Garrison as "glo-
rious being" should receive nothing but
contempt from all honest people. Dar-
.icl Webster's reputation stands too high
to be reached by this Thompson his
bitierest invectivc, therefore, cannot
possibly effect our eminent and honored
statesman, who has done so much for
his country and TO whom America owes
, an immense debt

LATEST FROM SIR JouN Ross. En-
t,aordindry Flight Of Carrier Pigeons.
We have learned from private source
that on Friday last two Of the carrier
pigeons taken by Sir John Ross when
he left the port Of Ayr, and some Of
which were to be dispatched home in
the event Of his eth r finding Sir John
Franklin or being frozen in, arrived AT
Ayr, finding their way at cnce to the
dove-cotc which they occupied previous
to being taken away The birds, we
understand, arrived within a short time
of each other but neither Of them, We
regret to be informed, conveyed any
thing in the shape ola letter or note of
any kind. One of them, indeed, which
may have had some document attached,
was found TO be considerably y mutilated,
its legs having apparently been shot
away. The time they were liberated
by Sir John Ross is OF course uncertain.
but taking into consideration the we'll
known powers of flight possessed by the
carrier pigeon, 1t cannot have been very
long since they left our gallant country
men. The arrival Of authentic news
from the Arctic regions will be looked
forward to with additional anxiety, from
the probability which has now arisen
that some tidings may have been heard
of Sir John Franklin. Independent
however Of the interest which otherwise
attaches to the extraordinary flight Of
the pigeons, it will be regarded by nat
uralists as most remarkable incident.
We do not recolect of any parallel to
it. The distance the creatures must
have traversed cannot he far short Of
1000 miles, and rs they travelled by
sight, and not by scent, the fact is the
more extraordinary. Sir John Ross we
believe, took five pigeons with him,
which, it may be remembered, were sta
/ ted in the last accounts received sf him
/ 10 have been at that time all alive, so
/ that there are still three to be account

American Trade Nth China.---The
trade between California and China is
already assuming degree of impor-
tance worthy Of note. When regular
steam communications are established
result which will take place at an arly
day---the trade with China will Increase
in a rapid ratio. A San Francisco let
ter of Sept l7th says:
"Tho amount OF fremittances to China
from this port is beginning to be a very
important item. Vessels depart weekly,
and the consumption Of China fabrics
used here is immense. One large com.
mission house state that their average
remittance monthly tor several months
last passed is fully equal TO the sum Of
one hundred and fifty thousand Mexican
dollars. Other houses combined may
S.crhaps ship as much more, and this
wuy sitrer currency is becoming more
md more difficult TO obtain for the ordi-
mary transactions of the city"
