at the hands OF the mob was Gonzales, who, IN a
great measure, was himself TO blame for 1t, He
nae slnce been examined On the complaint OF one
oi me persons who was wounded by him, and he
now stands committed for trial before the criminal
court. The temper OF the mob was neither san
culinary, nor even strongly vindictive, and alter
the attack upon theConsul's office all the subsequent
mischief was committed by parties the most of
whom were recognised by the police as common
vagrents and thievee, who probably had no other
object IN view than plumber. II is rumored also
that among them were some natives of Cuba, who
TOOK advantage OF the opportunity to instigate the
rioters against their fellow countrymen OF old
Spain
The riots doubtless are to be ascribed to the ex-
ASPIRATION excited by the news from Cuba. IL was
a sudden outbreak for which the public authorities
were not prepared. and which the citizens did not
immediately rally to resist; but it Is significant
TACT that IN instance where the police made the
attempt did they fail TO check the rioters; that in
no case was any violent resistance opposed TO them,
nor was any effort made to rescue parties
which they arrested.

A SHOCKING DEED.-On Monday last, woman
in Blandford, who had moved here from Phila-
dephia, whipped negro boy about ten years of
age so severely that she became alarmed at the
consequences of her own brutal treatment and
immersed the victim of her fiendish rage in a cold
bath, from which he was taken out to die in about
ten minutes. These facts appeared in evidence
to the Coroner's inquest, who founda verdict that
the boy had been murdered by a woman by the
name of Southall. This woman, we hear, i'm
nnedately left the city, disguised in mans appa-
rel. A description other person has been tele-
graphed to the police of the cities north of Peters
burg, and we trust she may be arrested and
brought back to atone for one of the most dread
fm crimes of which human nature. even in its
most fallen state, can be guilty.-Pe. Int.

SPRING.
Lo where the rosy .bosom'd hours,
Fair Venus train appear;
Disclose the long expected fow'rs,
And wake the purple year!
The Attic warbler pours her throat,
Responsive to the cuckoo's note,
The untaught harmony Of Spring;
While whispering pleasure as they hy,
Cool zephyrs thro' the clear blue sky,
Their gather'd fragrance fling.
Where'er the oaks thick branches stretch
A broader, browner shade;
Where'sr the rude and moss grown beech
Oer.canopies the glade;
Beside some waters rushy brink
With me the muse shall sit, and think
(As ease reclined in rustic state)
How vain the ardour ofthe crowd,
How low, how little are the proud,
How INDECENT the great
Still is the toiling hand of care;
The painting herds repose
Yet, ha TX, how thro' the peopled air
The busy murmur CLOVIS
The insect youth are on the wing,
Eager to taste the honey'd Spring,
And float amid the liquid noon;
Some lightly DER the current skim,
Some show their gaily-gilded trim
Quick-g lancing on the sun.
To contemplation's sober eye
Such is the race of man;
And they that creep, and they that fly,
Shall end where they began.
Alike the busy and the aay
But flutter tlireagh lilies i< day,
In fortunes yaigin. colours crest;
Brusn'd oy The had Of !aseh rnischance,
Q. Or child by age, their airy dance
They leave, in dust to rest.

Several of our exchanges having noticed the
intention of Hon. Howell Cobb to retire from the
service of his constituents in the Congress of the
United States. it may not be inappropriate to state
in relation to this subject that Mr. Cobb for seve-
raj months past had formed and expressed de-
termination to decline returning to his seat in the
House, after the expiration of his term of service
on the 4th day of March. Since his late return, we
learn that he adheres to that determination. The
