RIor AT MArrAwAMKEAo, ME.-We learn from

wamkeag, on Friday last. The rioters were a party
of about one hundred log drivers, who got angry
because they could not get any liquor. Theywent
into the hotel kept by j. Q. Adams, smashed the
clock, severely beatthe barkeeper, and then com
menced destroying the inside of the house, break
ing oil the windows but one in the large bar room;
from thence they went TO the entry, demolishing
the stair railing, thence to the gentemen's sitting
and dining rooms, defacing the walls of therooms,
breaking chairs, tables, crockery, and everything
that came in their way. Two of the leaders were
subsequently arrested and held for trial.

heard on Saturday morning, and the commissioner
decided that he should be remanded to his master.
The aboIitionists then got writ of habeas corpus
issued from State court; but the United States
marshal, in consequence of the responsibility i'm
posed upon him by the United States law, refused
to deliver the fugitive, wheteupon the judge oil
the State court ordered the sheriff to arrest the
marshal for contempt of court The marshal
disclamed any intention of contempt. The case

he discovered negro on board, supposed to be a

he or his mate had any previous knowledge; that
he arrived in Boston, Sunday, July II, and anchor
ed in the stream; that on Monday morning he came
on shore, leaving instructions with the mo:e to
keep the negro until he returned on board, but
that while he was on shore telegraphing TO Will

A HORRIBLE DlscovEBY.-At New York, on
Thursday. in discharging the cargo of the ship
Columbus. just arrived from Liverpool, the body
of man was found among the bales, almost di-
rectlys uuler the muin hatch. It was much de-
composed, and appeared to retain none of its
original features. The deceased was aboutthi
ty years of age, and from the dress he wore is
tloughtto have been asoldter, who, with view.
of deserting, had slowed himself away while the.
vessel was taking in her cargo, prior to her sail
ing on the 4th of June The hatch. having been
secured and corked, aud the ship crowded with.
immigrant passengers, the cries of the deceased
could not be heard on deck, and he undoubtedly
died of sufocation and starvation.
