From Europe.

The Steamship Asia arrived at New York on the
18th, with Liverpool dates to the 3rd. The chief
item of general intelligence from England, is the
occurrence of great riot at Stockport, the 29th
June, between the Catholics and Protestants. Sixty
persons were wounded, and one killed on the spot
Several houses were torn down. The Ca holie Chap
ell was sacked-the organ and furniture burned and
nothing but the bare walls left standing. The mil
itary finally restored order. The riot grew out OF
illfeeling caused by proclamation lately issued by
the Queen against Catholic professions. Gold

broken out at the Cape of Good Hope.

to record. 1t is drawn up by his hand, and bears

Knssnth Gnne.

The Hungarian leader left New York for Europe
last week very privately, in the steamship Africa
Il seems that his intention was not known even to
the proprietor of the steamship any of his clerks
until the last hour.
The tide of enthusiasm that flowed so impetuous-
ly at first in KossUTH's favor, has had correspon-
ding ebb. Time was, and not long since, when it
was considered akin to sacrlege to entertain, much
less express a doubt of his infallibty. Now, with
some it would be looked upon with even more I'M
favorable eyes if one should dare to see any good
points in his character-any evidences Of ability in
his speeches or acts,
For all this, the result of KossUTHs mission was
certain from the first. The temporary excitement
which heralded his coming, could not have hurried
this country into any immediate action-no course
that KossuTH could have pursued would have secur-
ed that result. The thing was not to be DONE
Upon the other hand, neither the contemptuous
expressions of many who were the first to lawn up
on him, nor the revulsion consequent upon undue
excitement nor the neglect of politcians-nor even
the grievous errors and mistakes of the himself
can do away with the effect of his splendid speeches
and the political maxims therein enunciated. Let
scoffers say what they may. his speeches were and
are (for they live in the printed page) forcible elo-
quent and beautiful exceedingly. The struggle for
Hungary is hopeless-intervention or material
ad is ridiculous but the broad principle exists that
all civilized nations parties interested in the en-
forcement and maintenance of international law
and that nation silently consenting to an outra-
geous violation of this law by her silence consents
to the establishment of precedent which may some
day or other be applied to herself,
The man-LoUIs KossUTH--has passed from the
scene-hs influence as an individual is gone-his
usefulness as an actor has ceased forever; but his
visit to the country has seeds of enquiry which
will not perish, but will later produce
-Americanized in their character-but trace
able to the great Hungarian. The individual was a
great faiIure-some of the principles will yet be
cognized as fixed facts. KossUTH impertinently in
ermeddled or tried to intermediate in our domestic
affairs; and therefore, justly deserves reprobation
Like most European enthusiasts, he neither under
Stood appreciated the institutions of the South
although he pretended to do so and the South re
ceived him with GOODNESS, to which the sudder
falling off of his name and fame in America IS, per
haps, mainly attributable.

Rrunswlck County-Public Meeting.

Pubic meeting of the citizens of Brunswick
County was held at Smithville Saturday. We
learn that Samuel Langdon, Esq, announced him.
self candidate for the Commons from that county.
Mr.. Langdon occupies the same position with DR..
John Hill, who has retired from the canvass. Mel
Their of them can support General Scott, and it is
believed that fully half of the wings of Bruins
wick county are of the same mind-more than one
half are anti-Scott men.
Dr. Hill was called upon, and spoke for nearly
three quarters of an hour I" more in than in
anger" with his whig brethren who differed from
him. He successfully and triumphantly defended
his position towards Gen. Scott showing the impos-
sibility of his receiving the support of the South
S. Person, Esq, the Democratic elector for this
District also present. and made an able and eff
fectve speech upon the leading questions of the day
His remarks were warmly responded to-
| MIR. Langdon and DIR. Hill wings, but they
cannot follow Seward. AS have already said
the majority of the wings of Brunswick sympathise
in the feeling. Mr.. Langdon is against Scott
against open Convention, and in favour of FREE
Suffrage.

She has been built much finer in the bow than a.

we'll conceived at the same time this has been ac-
complished coneurrenty with large carrying accom-
mediation, her great length permitting her to swell
out in full amidshps without injuring the grace of
the curves. She is ALSO like La Plata, braced from
to stern inside with iron straps laid diagonally
from the main-deck beams to the bilge-the first
ries checked into the tmbers and the other laid
cross, and at each crossing bolted through the tim
Der. The distance between the straps about three
feet, and immense amount of strength and rigid
ity is thus secured. The machinery is being con-
structed by Mr.. Robert Napier, of Glasgow. who is
now fitting up La Plata with precisely similar pair
of en- gnes; which of the largest size. and on
what is called the side-ever principle. The cylin-
ders l03 inches in diameter, and the stroke nine
feet Collectively the eng mes will give the power
of 1000 horses working at low pressure, and will
be supplied with steam from two sets of tubular
boilers placed before and aft the engine-room, and
of course two tunnels. The paddle wheels are 81
feet diameter. with fixed wooden floats Il feet long
by about 81 broad. The homework of the fittings
on board is approaching well to completion, the Ara
bia having been kept on the stocks for consdera-
BILE period longer than intended or required, as
her engines were not ready for her. The sleeping
accommodations are all arranged under the mair

But Gen. Scott, respects not the sanctty OF civil

course upon this question: but especially in this last
move, there is spirit apparent, which neither ma

are required in the head of our government
