From the Fisheries.

Boston, August 81.
The Gloucester Telegraph, of to-day, ,announ-
ces the arrival Of the schooner Mary Niles,
Captain Pool, from the Bay of st. Lawrence
Captain Pool states that he with others were
driven out of the Bay of Chaleur by the Steam
ship Devastation. The captain of the Devas-
taton told Capt. Pool that he should not allow
them TO fish in the Bay of Chaleur, or within
three miles Of any of the Bays. Most of our
vessels were obliged to go to the Devastation
whenever the captain wished to speak to them
and if they did not como he would fire shot
at them. The first time the steamer came a.
cross the Mary Niles, she fred a gun, when
Captain p. run up his flag. A second gun was
fred when captain p. supposed he wanted him
and accordingly heaved to, in order to board
him, and he accordingly did so. This was no
sooner done, however, than shot came across
her bow. Captain p. then ran for tho steam
or, when the captain told him what we have
stated above.
The officers of the steamer were making ev-
cry effort to catch the vessels, and resorted TO
many tricks in order to entrap them.
The above is confirmed by Captain Wilson
of the schooner Pilot, which arrived at Glou-
cester yesterday.

A Row at Newport,

A correspondent of the New York Times, a
spectator at a row which occurred at q public
house in Newport, between the walters and q
Southerner, writes thus:
A fiery gentleman from Mississippi, dining
on Sunday, one Of the walters desired TO
take dish that set before him. The South
erner refused TO let it go. The servant attemp-
ted to remove it, and the Southerner stabbed
and cut him i'm the face with his dinner knife.
This occasioned so little confusion at that time
that scarcely dozen persons knew of it until
next day. 1t appears that there was COM
plant entered against the servant, which ended
as such affairs generally do, whether the SER
vont is right or wrong, in his discharge The
other servants-wbo are not colored, as has
been stated, but very respectable and civil lr-
ish-protested against his discharge, and
threatened to leave the house in a body. In
New York, where other help could be obtained
Immediately. this would not be a very serious
matter; but here it was, especially as the house
contains some five hundred inmates The SER
want was retained. At breakfast the next
morning the servants refused to wait upon the
gentleman: and he, in very singular manner
jumped up and drew pistol and dagger, and
threatened to shoot the servants if they did
not wait upon him. Two or three of the SER
wants seized him and disarmed him of his pis-
tol, in doing so, his hand was cut with the
dagger or the pistol scuffle ensued; the Ia
dies and children became frightened, screamed
and ran. The alarm became general. Some
thought the house was on fire. The long gal
leries and staircases were in an instant filed
with hundreds of alarmed ladies and children
and excited men. To add to the confusion,
the Southerner rushed into the middle of the
great Hall, holding up his bleeding hand con-
tanning dagger, and clinging to him was a
very interesting looking lady, apparently in
great agony. In the meantime, one of the
servants, il appeared, had taken too much Ii
quor, and was terribly excited; finding that
he was surrounded by the great body Of SER
wants, who behaved very coolly, and that he
was not in any sort o. danger, became full of
fight, and behaved as a drunken man will on
such an occasion. Quite q panic scene ensucd.
The Sheriff was sent for, who it appears, had
a warrant for the gentleman, for the assault the
day previous: but by some arrangement, the
Southerner could not be found, and left quiz
city. Some blamed the servants, more the
gentleman. You and your readers can judge
who deserved the most censuro. There was
some talk by some of tho gentlemen ofrevenge
-of leaving the house If the walters were not
discharged, &C., &C. Mr.. Mavor. the gentle
manly proprietor, quietly informed them that
IL they did not like the manner in which the
house was conducted, they could leave. This
was settler, especially as nearly all the
Southerners, as we'll as others, thought that
stabbing the walters, and drawing pistols and
knives in the presence of ladies, and especially
on so slight occasions, was ungentenianly and
uncalled for.

Statement Of Mr.. Givan.

AS many conflicting and in many cases, erro-
neous reports are now afiOat, regarding the
late unfortunate collision of this ill-fated
steamer with the propeller Ogdensburgh
on the morning of the Goth inst. / have
thought proper to throw together a few facts
in the cese. as they came under my own eyes,
or have vouchers for beyond contradiction.
The Atlantic was on her usual course from
Buffalo to Detroit, when about two o'clock in
the morning and four miles above Long Point
light and about the same distance from shore,
she was run into by the propeller, striking her
forward of her wheel on her larboard side,
causing the steamer Atlantic to sink in a.
bout 10 minutes, in 30 fathoms water. On
my reaching the pilot house, l heard as then
thought, our mate giving orders to head her
for shore, ard will simply remark here that
our bell was rung until covered with water.-
We had 416 persons on board, all told, 10 of
this number were cabin, crew 40, about 20
local steerage, and the remainder were con-
sgnee or emigrant passengers; we lost 8 of
the crew, and about Is cabin passengers, the
remainder of the sufferers were emigrants,
and probably of this class 80 will cover the
loss. The propeller came to our assistance in
about half an hour. Capt. Pettey received a
severe injury i'm the head which will probably
prove fatal Tho 1st mate, Mr.. Blodgett, put
IOrIn alWOSt supernutnan eHorts III saving SUI
ferers, and to his indomitable spirit and per-
severance. Qet others say what they may,)
attibute the saving Of the majority, that 9th
erwise would have been lost. The propeller
was bound from Cleveland to the Welland
Canal, and consequently must have been at
least 25 miles out of her course, which in the
course of half an hour would have carried her
ashore on Long Point. state these facts the
more willingly, because did not belong to the
boat, and when say that so far as my obser-
vation extended, each officer of that boat nobly
and promptly did his duty, know that by all
who are personally acquainted with me. l
shall be believed. | am no sailor, but wish
to call the attention of the public to one fact,
and ask them to look at it well before they
pass sentence: that is, when the light of the
propeller was first seen she was on the larboard
bows of the Atlantic, and therefore the con-
sciousness on the part of tho officers in COM
mand of the Atlantic that they were all safe,
and they could not think it possible that the
propeller was running for the shora, "a per
feet wilderness,) only four miles distant, on
our starboard. This is an important fact. look
at it. GEO. c. GIVAN.

THE SCOTT BOYS.


The Old men all remember
Asst were but yesterday
When Britain sought, on Freedoms soil
Again to plant her sway,
The Old men all remember
Who hurled her back again
IT was Winfield Scott, at Chippewa,
IT was Scott, at Lundy's Lane!
CHoRus-
So fling for Scott the banner out,
And sing for Scott, hurrah;
With him we can the Locos rout.
And win for Chippewa,
The Young men all remember
Twas not five years ago
Who led out hosts to victory,
And conquered Mexico:
The Young men all remember
How Cherubusco's s field,
And Vera Cruz and Contreras,
Were made by Scott to yield!
CHoRUs-
The Old men and Young men,
With Scott to lead the fight
From hill and dale, from shore and wave,
Will rally and unite;
The Old men and the Young men,
With Scott to lead them on
Will make the hero Of two wars,
Their chief at Washington!

CHoLERA--ITs SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT
1t is extremely probable that our city will be
visited to some extent during tho next two
months, with Cholera. In its incipent stages
it may be ranked with ordinary diseases and
will then yield to proper medical treatment
Its first symptoms is, generally, looseness of
the bowels, and to remove this we know of no
remedy moro efficient, certain in offect, and
harmless in its nature, than that which is
known as ''The Sun Cholera Recipe" We
deem il highly important that every family
and workshop should be supplied with this
mixture or its equivalent, ready for use at all
times. Any Druggist will supply it, though
some take more pains in its preparation than
others, of whom we may instance the Messrs.
Sands, Fulton and William streets. The
following is the recipe:
Take equal parts Of
Tincture of Laudanum,
ofCayenne pepper, treble strength,
Rhubarb,
Essence of Peppermint, treble strength,
Spirits of Camphor.
The dose s from FIVE to thirty or even sixty
drops, according to the age Of the patient
and the violence Of the symptoms, and It
should be repeated every FIVE to thirty min
utes until relief is obtained.

The National Intelligencer says, about edit.

The National Intelligencer says, about edit
ing a newspaper:
Many people estimate the ability Of a ncws-
paper, and the industry and talent of its editor,
by the editorial matter il contains 1t is, cam
paratively, an easy task for frothy writer to
pour out columns of words upon any and on all
subjects. His ideas flow in one wishey- wash
ey, everlasting flood, and his command of Ian
guage may enable him to string them together
like bnnch Of onions; and yet his pepper may
be meagre and poor concern.
But what is the toll of such man, who dis
plays loaded matter largely, to that imposed
on a judicious, well-informed editor, who exer-
cises his vocation with an hourly consciousness
of his responsibilities and duties, and devotes
himself to the conduct of his paper with the
same care and assiduity that a sensible lawyer
bestows upon suit, or human physician up
on patient, without regard to show or display.
Indeed, the mere writing part of editing pa
per is but small portion of the work. The
care, the time employed in selecting, is far
more important and the tact ofa good editor
known by his selection that any thing else, and
that we all know is half the battle.
But as we have said, an editor ought to be es-
timated, and his labors understood and apprec-
ated, by the general couduct of the paper, its
tone its temper its uniform, consistent course,
its principles and aims, its manliness its digni-
ty and propriety. To preserve these as they
should be preserved, is enough to occupy fully
the time and attention of any man.

THE REBELLION IN CHINA.-Late advices
from China, by way of California, speak of the
continuance of disturbances in the fowry ma
ton. The insurgents are evidently getting the
best of the contest. and the Imperial troops
were constantly desorting to them, and swel-
ling the list of the opposing armies. Towns
are entered and plundered, and houses set on
fire. The detection of the Imperilists is spoken
ofin the Hong Kong Friend Of China as hav-
ing caused great alarm in Canton; and rumor
prevails that both the English aud American
Ministers have been applied to about render
ing assistance, should occasion require II.

this truth. We quote from the COURIER

gentlemen, must say that it becomes US to-day, 10
the enjoyment of the privileges we possess, here,
amidst the scenes of early sacrifice for American
hberty-amidst the scenes which characterized
Massachusetts as great leader and martyr in the
revolutionary contest-it becomes us to say that
we entertain high hopes, exalted hope, humby
and meekly before God, but fearlessly and daunt-

the renown which we Americans OF this generation
ENJOY, shall accompany country to her latest
