royal train OF five passed through the principal
streets Of the city, their march leading, IN what is
termed a bee line, from the palace to the Queens

THE New BEDFORD HUBBUB SOMETHING or A

ing OF this funny affair, ays:-SOme persons in
the abolition newspaper, The COMMUNICABLE,
carried TO New Bedford, on Sunday morning, the
story that steamboat, with one hundred armed
men. under the orders of Deputy Marshal Riley,
negro at New Bedford We may, at the com
mencement, relieve the anxiety of the reader, by
stating that go far as on diligent inquiry-we
learn, no such stea has sailed; neither the
officer commanding at the Navy Yard, nor the act
ing marshal here, avouches any such expedition
The report was started in New Bedford at six
o'clock on Sunday morning. and the bell on Liberty
Hall was tolled, as if the city was in danger. The
people collected, and were told the story which we
have sketched above. A timely fall Of snow aud
rain seems to have cooled and damped the uDne.
cessary excitement. Ii now seems that there was
an absurd attempt made to create an excitement
that the romantic plan OF toing bell before sun
nse on Sunday morning was successful in pro-
ducing one, and that sober second thought soon
quieted il. IL will soon appear, in such game OF
potssons a. AyH, which are the fish and which are
the hoohs.
The Commonwealth, (abolition) which set the
thing in motion, says I'VE dare Marshal Devens
to deny that naval expedition 10 capture fugi-

TO deny that bis deputies were at the navy yard on
Saturday, making preparatols.for the expedition,
up 10 the time the yard was closed.
The Springfield Republicans says,-The whole
affair was hoax, wicked in its inception, and ter
rihly wicked in its results. Deputy Marshal Riley,
who figured largely in the sham story, came up to
Spin gheld on Monday forenoon, and learned FIRST
OF hi terrible movements by sea and land on the

The Boaoa Journal adds TO the above, that there
has not been even a warrant issued or asked for
against fugitives in New Bedford. and that after
thorough sitting Of the whole matter, IL is unable to
bnd the slightest ground for the report which
created such an excitement in New lie iford. The

were sent 10 New Bedford, and from which alone
the pubic got any information concerning IT.
