Terrible ARRAY at Portland.

Sic Men Wounded.-Some time during Fri
day night, number of the crew of the South
ern Belle, and some Of the people Of Portland
engaged in a row, on the forecastle deck of the
boat, in which the shore men were worsted.-
The row, as near as could be ascertained, began
through trifling difference of opinion expressed
by 'big Irishman on the one side, and one of
the Portland boys on the other. The former had
said he coIld whip the best man in Portland, and
the latter said he could not. With this the big
'un UP with his fist and knocked the other
sprawling. Brick bats, and other missiles flew
as thick as hail stones for few minutes, when
the forces were separated, and quiet restored for
the time being.
We learn that soon after the first fray, some
of the crew of the boat, among whom was thu
big man, went ashore TO the Beliapere coffee
house, and each one took glass Of liquor. Th'
room was full of men at the time, and, after thu
LIQUOR was drank an alteration ensued betweeI
two of the party, when the big fellow drew
knife and commenced cutting and slashing a
mong the crowd. He made his way to the boat
Through the crowd, though assailed on all sides
and receiving hundred blows from clubs an
stones as he retreated While in the house, h
succeeded in cutting and stabbing six persons
one of whom is in a very critical situation. Th
| men who are cut are Jesse Sgg, p. Whittier, A

three hundred. This letter says II Republic

HANNIBAL MO, THURSDAY MORNING., JUNEs3, 1852

t. DR.. Dgg, Of the Carpet Bag, has been
investigating the phenomena Of "the RapPings."
The following are among the experiments which
convinced him Of the correctness Of the theory
founded on electricity ~
"on placing my pedal extremities in contact
with the bottles, (which contained boiling hot
water, became aware Of sudden and violent
lrepulsion, which caused my head to rap, or ra-
ther thwsck, against the head-board; at the
same time ! saw sparks, like stars, which l
Iconiectured were electrical"
The position above assumed is attacked by the
learned Darius Dump, p. G., in the following
style -
SHOW, It will be seen by reference TO Duhap's
Hand Book Of the Coarse Arts, that this phe-
nOmenon is caused by the preponderance Of the
mastadonic qualities over the frigidarium, and
that throws the arborical arrangements into the
rotundum. Hence the result is collision Of
the head-board and the head piece. In this case
the sparks are inevitable on account Of the pro-
Ipagated oscillation of the optic nerve from the
Ipunctum coriander, and while in this state all
objects passing before the retina are rendered
Idubius."
The tremendous Dump then proceeds to quote
further from DR.. Digg -
81 took common writing-desk, with an in
Iclined top or upper surface. On this placed
Ia common India rubber ball, and, concentrating
Iall my faculties, willed it TO roll down the
Islope. The ball rolled down with accelerated
motion-at length it dropped upon the floor, and
performed a series Of raps in a truly wonderful
manner"
Mr.. Dump. in his happicst manner, demon
strates the error into which the preceding para
graph shows DR.. Digg to have strayed:-
"Now, found by trying that same expert.
ment, with the same appliances, l. e., a common
. writing desk, and common india rubber BALI
that the same result invariably followed, in each
distinct and separate trial. Immediately upon
placing the ball upon ethe most elevated poini
, of the desk, and without any concentration ol
Inv faculties, or volition Of the will to that eff.
!. fleet, it commenced rolling down the slope, ap-
parently without any hesitancy or irresolution
4 and as it approached the bottom it even in
creased its speed, as If in defiance OF all laws
By series Of most wonderful experiments, !

he put on large force, and by noon he had it
all down in nice order, when there came up a

house. The next day being pleasant, he had
the hay dried, loaded, and driven to the barn, in.
to which they had just got as another shower
began to fall. The deacon congratulated him.

All sorts of reports are flying through the
country with regard to the prevalence Of chol-
era in this place. To disabuse the public mind
on the subject, we will state, that there has been
but two cases of cholera here this season, both
of which proved fatal--and one Of which We
mentioned in our last weeks paper, that of the
German, named Ess, who came here from the
river with the disease. The other case was that
of an old German who had been in the place sew
eral days, and slept with Ess the night previous
to the iatters death. He was taken on Tuesday
of last week, latter our paper had gone to press
and died in few hours thereafter. This case
is traced to exposure and intemperance in eating
and drinking. This is all the cholera that we
have heard of-though several OF our citizens
have had attacks Of diarrhea.-l Paris Mercu'

The Monkey Boy, or african WondeT--T This
lis one Of the stTangest freaks Of Nature that we
have vet witnessed. The African Wonder, as
lit is termed, represents being presenting so
peculiar an affinity between the human species
and the monkey tribe, as without any previous
knowledge Of its history, to puzzle naturalist
in the effort at Identification. Its neck, chins
mouth and nose, are those Of human being,
while the comparatively small conformation OF
the head, with its retreating frontal bones, de-
pressed temporal. pointed 0cciput, and peculiar
physiognomical characteristics, represent close
affinity to the monkey tribe. It is about 3S
inches in height when erect, but usually goes on
all-fours. The oply popularity denoted BY the
general organization Of the limbs is in their
greater length-the fingers and hands being at
Itenuated, the feet and toes Of the inferior ex-
tremities corresponding also with the upper OF
superior. A peculiar development Of the as
ltralagus or heel bone, is also perceptible. The
actions of this strange being partake in every
respect of those Of the class TO which It so
closely allies, the highest order of animal; and
lis, upon the whole, one Of those wonderful
freaks Of nature which open wide range for
speculation or credulity, and continues the chain
