A BEAUTIFUL DIscovERY IN THE MANAGE
NEST oF-BEEs. 1t has hitherto been re-
garded as well established fact, that bees
reqnue The light to be. carefully excluded
from their habtaIions. The Rev. L. L.
aDgstrotb, OF Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
n naive of that city, and gentleman Of real
worth and accomplishment, who has been
engaged for many years in the scientific in
vesIignlion OF their habits, has most conclu-
siveiy proved that this is not the cnse. The
various glass observing hives, which have
beea used by ingenious naturaiists, have al
ways been furnished with shutters 10 be
open only when the hives are inspecieh.-
Such a Sudden admission Of light exerts a
disturbing influence upon the bees. Mr..
Langsuoth has hives Of his own. invention,
na which the bees are exposedio The full hight
of day, so that all their beautiful works are
as easily examined as the articles exhibited
in a shop-keepe,'s s window. They do not
manifest The slightest dislike 10 such n per-
fesl flood of light. h is obvious this mIex-
pecied discovery mCst greatly facilitate a
thorough knowledge Of the habits of th q
wonderful iiieeci rs the Queen is llmosl
constantly in s;ghi. and all the mysteries oi
the hive are ,unioided in the most ample
manner TO the lover of nature. We know
that Mr.. Langstrolh has been repeatedly con.
suited, respecting the hest means Of yeutil
aIing public rooms aud We strongly sus-
I,eci him OF having sioen some Of his ideas
from the admirable principIe on which bees
veniilaie their. lsises.-sWe wish he could
persuade the community thai their public
and private buildings ought 10 be M least az
well ventilated as the humble dwelling ofIhe

lance Of which TO the public health, cannot

There is Poin. beyond (which human for

the counsel may thereby have been turned aside

distinguished orator Of the day, Stephen A.

TRUSTING TO PROVIDENCE.

KossUTH NOT DE RELEAsED.--The New York
Tribune translates the following from the cor
respondence of the Presburg Zeitung, dated
Para, April Cd:
The Ministry has at length decided on the fate
of the refugees. The Porte has accordingly de-
clared that it assumes the obligation of retain
ing in custody Kossuih, his wife, Count Attn
yani, Nicolaus and Moritz Perezel, Asbatb,
Gyurman Luley and Wisoeky, and makes their
fate dependent on further transactions with
Austria. In order to effect the release of the
others, an official is to be despatched next week
to Katabia, and superintend their surrender to
the Turkish Commissioner. They will then
be brought to Gemlk in Turkish vessel, which
will deliver them in the Dardaneles to an Anne
rican or English ship Of war. At the same time
those refugees whose Punishment has been de-
manded by Austria, especially Dobocai and Val
will be banisbed from this place. Austria has
thus obtained nearly all she asked.
The Augsbourg Gazette gives another item
upon this subject dated Constantinople, Apr
23,l: "The Charge dAflaires ad interim, Of the
United States, received, by the last French
steamer, instructions TO apprise the Divan thai
the frigate despatched by the American govern
ment to receive the Hungarian refugees, would
soon nrrive-but that the Divan had not as ye
come to any conclusion upon the subject Of thi'
communication"

From the NJ Y. Herald Of yesterday.
Dreadful Riot and Loss Of Life at
HOhOken.

Yesterday the Germans Of this city held their
annual May festival at Hoboken, accompanied
by their wives and children The numbers are
variously estimated. Some say they numbered
10000: others, 10000; but, Mt all events, the
numbers were very considerable. They had two
bands Of music and seven glee clubs, with BAN
ners and badges. Some of the latter were red
and bore the inscription "Maifest, New York
1851"
They passed over the ferries at eleven
o'clock, to the spot where the festival was held
which is called Fox Hill, in the vicinity of the
Elysian Field. In the Afternoon, while the
Germans we're partaking Of picnic on the grass
disturbance took place between them and
some young men Of Hoboken and New York
said to be Rock boys and Short boys, and that
they seized their sausages and drank their
beer The Germans repulsed them, beating
them severely. The two parties subsequently
met at McCartys saloon, about three o'clock
in the afternoon, and there was n serious
outbreak. The party of Germans who were
engaged here all wore white short coats, ard
white hats. Several of them had knives and
arms. There are those who say that there was
no disturbance whatever till it commenced here,
and that it originated in the Germans demand
ing drink rather peremptorily, and McCarty
refusing, when blows followed, and the Hobo
ken boys took part with him, and melee
began, which resulted in the demolition of
McCarty's house, and the serious injury Of a
lame child, of himself, and his wife. McCarty
fired two shots into the crowd, one of which
took effect in the groin of a German. The CON-
batants tore up fence, and dealt dreadful
blows to each other; they also welded the
legs of broken tables and chairs, and the branches
OF trees, while Others drew knives and pistols,
and used them freely The tide of battle nd
vanced and receded, the scale of victory Mt one
time inclinng in favor of the Germans, and at
another for their opponents. The Germans
exceeding their antagonists in numbers, drove
them off the field, killing some and wounding
Others This battle lasted about three hours.
The Short boys, or Rock boys, or by what
ever name they may be designated, FASTENED to
the village and meeting large number Of lrlsh
laborers, whohad just stopped work at 6 o'clock,
enlisted them in their service, by telling them
that the Germans were cutting the throats of
American citizens. MAN. Of the citizens of
Hoboken, too, collected to give the Germans
battle, while most persons shut up their houses,
and barricaded their windows and doors. Mean
time, The Germans having carried McCarty .
