EXCITEMENT IN CINCINNATI.

Religious troubles appear to be rife in Cincinna-
IT, Lately they had most exciting contest for
school directors. in which the Catholic candi-
dates were all defeated. A few days ago, David
T. Snelbaker, the Mayor of the city. forbid
Protestant street preacher from holding forth on
the Sabbath, on the plea that his sermon against
the Catholics had the tendency of melting to
riot. This preacher, however, disregarded the
warning, and the very Sunday on which he was
forbidden to speak he mo Inted upon the head of
a barEel in the midst Of the market space, aud
was speaking to a crowd of about a hundred per-
sons when the Mayor, attended by the regular
police aud large bo1y of special officers, appear
ed upon the ground and obliged him to desist.-
This was in the morning. In the afternoon OF
the same day great Catholic procession, num-
bering from five to ten thousand men, with
badges, flags, banners, and large number of
bands Of music, marched through the streets to
| lay the cornerstone of Catholic church. The
| Catholic church bells were rung during the
whole time, the brass bands comprehending
nea:y all in the city. were playing and the
| procession marched through half the town,
blocking up the streets, making ostenatious pa
| rade, which created great deal of excitement,
sufficient to render some Of the streets impassa-
| BILE to church going people, and to disturb the
stiffness of the Sabbath. The Mayor bad out
large police force to protect the procession
L hese circumstances led to the holding of q
| large public meeting, which denounced the con
duct of the Mayor, and led to the appointment
of II committee of hundred citizeus to wait up
on him, aud request his immediate resignation.
The object of the Mayor appears to have been to
| prevent riot on the occasion of the Catholic
| procession, but, in doing so, he has thoroughly
| aroused the Protestant population, and added
| fuel to a religious excitement which was already
! very deep and bitter.

THE BRITISH MINISTER AND TUR-
KEY

Lord John Russell was recently addressed by
tho Mayor of Newcastle upon Tyne, in relation
to the Turkish question, and in his reply he gave
the following opinions
II am happy to fiud that this meeting concurs
with me in opinion that this country ought to
be anxious to maintain the independence of Tur-
key
"That Independence could not be subverted
without e eat change in the territorial circum-
scription of Europe, arrangement of the distri.
button of power sanctioned by treaties, and more
especially violation of the engagements con-
tracted by the great powers in i841.
"'That independence could not be subverted
without danger of the aggrandizement of
states already sufficiently formidable, and dis
turbance of the balance of power in Europe.
THAT Independence could not be subvorted
without great diminution of British commerce,
now fostered by the moderate tariff of the Tur-
kish empire.
"You may rely upon the constant vigilance of
her Maesty's Government being employed to
prevent such misfortunes; upon the sense of jus
tice and good faith which animates the principal
states of Europe; and upon the weight of the
British Parliament, which will be ever ready to
defend the rights and the independence of her
Majesty's allies"
which Mr.. Van Buren, is about to make to Eng
land says:
While he is the first of the Presidents to 90
abroad after this ustrious service, he is one and
the last Of four who visited Europe in diplo-
matte capacities previous to their elevation.--
The elder Adams was in England, Mr. Jeffer-
son in France, Mr.. Monroe in France, John @.
Adams in England and at Client, and Mr.. Van
Buren, in England. The four military Presidents
were never across the Atlantic, and the illustri-
GUS Washington never out of his own country
Gen. Harrison was in Canada in pursuit of the
enemy, Gen. Jackson in the Spanish territory for
the same object, and General Taylor in Mexico
also for the same. Gen. Harrison spent few
years 10 South America in diplomatic capacity.
The other Presidents Madison, Tyler, Polk and
Fillmore, we believe, were never abroad, cer-
tainy in no public employment.
NEGROES IN DELAwARE.-The Convention
for revising the Constitution, at Dover, has pass
ed the following section Of the new Constitution,
by vote of 19 yeas to nsys:
mo free negro or muatto. not now an inhabi-
tant of the State, who shall leave the State
with intent to change his residence, shall. after
the adoption of this constitution. settle in this
State, come into and remain within the State
more than ten days. All contracts made with
any free negro or mulatto. coming into the State
contrary to the provisions of this section, shall
be void; and any person who shall employ such
free negro or mulatto or otherwise encourage him
to remain in the State shall be fined in sum
not less than twenty nor more than FIVE hundred
doars.'
The Hon. Mr.. Bayard, in his speech support
ing this amendment stated that there are $4,000
free negroes in tho State of Delaware, making
about one-third of the whole population.

]. A. Cowardin.
during the evening stirring addresses were
delivered by Mr. Miller of Amelia and Mr. R.
T. Daniel of this city.
BOn Saturday night Iast, the watchmeo
made descent upon house situated on the
South side of the Basin, near the Depo, of the
Richmond and Petersburg Railroad. It was oc-
cupied as a grocery, or GROCERY, by man named
Barnard Lnman; and when the watchmeu en-
tered, they counted no less than eleven negro
men, engaged in drinking and earousing in q
quiet way. Eight out of the eleven were arrested
and taken to the cage-ouly three of the Jolly
party escaping. After undergoing confinement
in the cage, the Mayor released them. with the
assurance that each and all would be logged if
they repeated the offence. Mr. Linman, how
ever, Jared rather worse than his eooured GUS
toners and friends. Having been summoned to
appear Mt the Mayors Court Monday morning,
and knowing full we'll that it might not comport
with prudence to decline the invitation, ho
reached the City Hall at an early hour and duly
made obeisance to his Honour. Owing to Tho
absence of witness. (the wife of Mr.. Linman.)
the Mayor granted request to continue the case
until Tuesday morning. Yesterday morning
Mr.. and Mrs. L. appeared according to order;
Mrs. Lnman testified in the case; but she stated
nothing calculated to relieve her husband from
the dilemma in which he found himself placed
He had individually permitted an unlawful assem-
blyin his house-had sold the negroes liquor with.
out license, and had, therefore. grievously offend
ed 10 the eye of the law. His Honour, of
course, saw at glance how the case stood; Mr..
Linman had paltered in double sense; and 1t
only vemaned for him to execute the law. He
thereupon ordered the unfortunate grocery
keeper to pay fine of SIG to the city, and then
stated that he should certify the case to the At
torney for the Commonwealth, for the purpose
of enabling that officer to take farther action in
thu matter So, the offender appears to be in
fair way to run the gauntlet. Let others take
warning. The melancholy fate of this grocer
may be shared by others similarly situated in
the city. The laws must be- respected; and the
only mode to enforce obedience, is to punish
every person who commits an infraction thereof.
No one-not even the most confirmed topper in
the land-wil controyert the assumption that the
welfare of society, and the health and respecta-
bility of the humber classes would be greatly
promoted by the suppression of every GROCERY
in the city. Let the police, then, perseyere in
their laudable efforts to put down these illegal and
