WHY DO NOT THE STEAMBOATS,
CALL AT HAMPTON?

We are sure we do not know, and are COM
PEELED to acknowledge our ignorance about
half dozen times in the twenty four hours
We hope our friends, of that line, whose dis
position we well know is TO be accommodating
whenever they can, will make arrangements
for doing so on their summer trips. 1t will
not cause the loss of half an hours time we
feel confident. Frequently, in the river, they
go much farther to take up passengers.-
Hampton, though smart town, is in worse
condition than any Of the landings on the river.
She has several watering hotels, which are not
allowed fair play, because of the additional
expense of boating or passing over from Old
Point on the bridge. In our opinion the lire
stands greatly in its own light. To encourage
Hampton would be to encourage travelling
Let us hope, now that the summer is set in,
for better arrangement.

LYNCHBURG AND sTAUNToN.

The Lynchburg Virginian asks hov we can
regard the produce as 10 greater danger OF go
ing TO Baltimore at Lynchburg. than it IS at
Stauntoni We can answer in very re-"
words. At Lynchburg, the Virginia and en-
nessee Railroad terminates. The company Is
funetus o6iciO. The produce is there ielt open
to three different lines; the Canal the SCUM
side Railroad, and the Gordonsville conhec"on'
Freight of a certain description when 'a"
road cannot proftably transport, will seek Tue
canal. Freight which can be transported by
railroad with profit, will seek either tue SCUM
side or the Gordonsville. But every body
knows a railroad cannot subsist on the prohts
of freight alone. 1t must have correspondent
,r.vel. or il will 60 down. Now, the Gordons-
vile rand diyerts the whole stream of northern
travel from the Southside railroad, leaving it
not enoug h to keep up the road, after it shall
have received the accession of freight it is en-.
titled TO. 1t must 60 down, and leave Balti.
more the sole competitor for such trade as rail.
roads can most probably carry.
On the contrary, Stanton is but half way
house on line owned by one company. There
is no necessary discharge ofgoods there. Hav.
ing taken the cars at Covington, it is not pro
bable that they will be taken away from it, at
the enormous cost and delay occasioned by
transhipment. The Central will, moreover,
have 135 miles of travel for the immense cons
course that will swarm to Washington along il,
from the West and the South. These will 60
to 'Gordonsvil!e, and there take the Orange
and Alexandria route, for it is shorter than
that by Stanton.
One of the greatest evils Of the Lynchburg
and Gordonsvile connection is that it will be
the parent of road from Salem by Staunton.
No argument can be urged against this lat
ter, that was not perfectly good against the
former.

The Riot at Montreal.

The Montreal Herald of June 8, gives de.
tailed account of the Gayazzi riot at Montreal.
together with list of the killed and wound.
ed SO far as it could be ascerlained. We an
mex the most interesting portion of the article:
At about quarter TO eight o'clock, band
OF rutiians, we learn, tor although in sight, we
were at too great distance to see more than
that general melee had taken place, attack
ed and overpowered the police-Capt. Erma-
finger receiving a severe wound on the head
and proceeded to force their way nto the
church, from which body OF fifteen or twenty
repulsed them-seyeral shots from guns and
pistols being fired from both sides. The az
saultiDg party were effectualy routed. Two
or three of their number were left dead or se,
verey wounded on the ground, but y ere short.
ly afterwards removed in cars by their friends.
Soon after this occurrence, company of the
26th Cameronians marched from Craig street.
and were drawn up between the engine house
and that street. All seemed perfectly quiet.
and remained so until about half past eight
o'clock, at about which time the lecture was
concluded, and the audience inside the church
had began to leave for home. AT this time the
troops were marched across Craig street and
took their position in two lines across Rade-
yonde street-one line near Zion's church,
and the other some hundred PAGES nearer Craig
street. A good deal OF hooting and noise pre-
vailed at this time, and on the McGill side
of Craig street some disturbance with the low
est line of troops occurred, and two or three
shots were fired. In other respects, all seemed
peaceable.
We were, at this time, at the corner Of ST.
james street and McGIll street, and had
clear and distinct view of the troops, and Of
the people IN their immediate vicinity. There
we saw no violence on the part OF the mob
nothing, indeed, but the people hurrying from
the church-when, to our utter establishment,
we heard AID saw the troops fire two distinct,
running volleys, among the apparently, TO US,
peaceable citizens. Thinking it high time to
attend to our own safety, we beat rapid re-
treat from this apparent scene of wanton and
uncalled for slaughter. This, we feel, is not
the time TO express the Indignation with which
we saw British troops deliberately shoot down
our peaceful and unoffending citizens. We
were too far off TO speak personally of the con-
duct of the Mayor and of The officers by whose
orders they were fred; but if we are correctly
informed by those who were on the spot, there
was nothing whatever to justify so rash and
cowardly proceeding. We must not, how.
ever, PREJUDICE their conduct on the occasion,
but the blood of those who fell calls loudly for
prompt investigation into every circumstance
connected with tire melancholy affair, and APP
parently, at least wanton massacre.

REcovER1NG,-We learn that Francis Cardozar
of Oregon hil who attempted to cut his throat one
day last week. while laboring under mental derangs'

informed by DR. Brown that his escape from death
was most miraculous. Had the cut extended one
sixteenth part of inch DEEPER the main artery OF
the neck would have been penetrated and he must
have bed to death. His mind, among other mat.

The most important news by this arrival 10
in relation 10 the invasion of the Mexican Sta to
ofSonora by strong party of Americans and
Frenchmen, under tbs command of the famous
Count Boulbon. Much alarm existed in So.
nora and chihuahua on account Of it, and an
express had been sent 10 Mexico TO inform the
supreme government of the facts. The Cali.
forna Wing is of opinion that Santa Anna will
take command in person OF the Mexican
troops, to oppose this invasion. An express
arrived atSan Diego on the 30th of April, with
orders from the Commanding General of the
Division of the United STATES troops, suppos.
ed 10 relate to the invasion, which, il is said,

Intelligence from Australia 10 he 9th of
March has been received. The Australians
are very suspicious Of Californians, the courts
having as little mercy for them as the Caiifor-

Australia Is rewarded better than in any other
country except California, and wealth and
population are increasing with wonderful ra-
pidity. The yield ofthe gold mines continues
undminished, but robberies and acts OF vio-
lence, unhappJ, ars still as common as ever.

DEATH OF VIRGINIAN.-Thos. B. Wat.
kins, formerly of Goochland county, where he
has large number of friends and relatives
still living, died short time since, near Waiver
ly in the State of Mississippi. We learned
the fact from the Postmaster of Waverly, who
wrote to US to discontinue his paper, he being
dead. Ii was not stated at what time he died,
or of what disease. We knew him well he
was indeed one among the Oldest of our ac-
quaintances; and we can say, with great sin.
certify, that we hardly ever knew better man.
As we have seen no notice ofhis death, in any
newspaper, we take this method Of aequaint-
ing his many friends with the fact. AS there
may be others of the same name, we will far
Their describe him by saying that he was the
son of the late Thomas b. Watkins Of Gooch-
land, and was born and lived the greater part
of his life within mile and half OF Johnson's
Springs, in Goochland. We do not know his
precise age, but he was over forty.

WHEAT, WHEAT.-We have received FROM
II. Carringt)n Watkins, of Ampihill, several
heads of wheat as specimens of the new crop.
They were raised upon the farm of his father,
Mr.. John Watkins, of Ampthll, at Bermuda
Hundred. The heads are very full and fine -
Ii they are fair specimen of the whole, the
crop is an excellent one. Mr.. w. tells US it is,
in general, "pretty good" and when farmer
confesses that the crop is "pretty good" we
always set it down as very fine, for they are
agrumbling generation, and will complain if
they possibly can. The variety is the " old
fashioned" May. AS some persons may be
desirous, after having seen these heads, to get
into that variety, we take occasion to inform
them that they can be accommodated by ap-
plying to MIR. Watkins, provided the appiica-
ton be made in time.
