- The MURDER AT BERWICK, ME.-BUILDINes
loBH DOWN BY A MoB.-At Salmon Falls N H.,
yesterday, a coroner's inquest held upon the
BODY OF Mr.. Lewis Maxwell, who was killed near
that p ace on Wednesday night. The verdict of
the jury was that he came to his death by stab
through the heart by some sharp instrument in the
hands Of some person unknown.
Last night mob Of about one thousand persons
from Great Fals, Dover, South Berwick, and Sal
nor mon Falls' assembled around the shantees near
and the Irish families therein having moved out
in accordance with previous notice sent them by
the mob, the buildings were demolished.
To night it is said that the rum shops in the
same vicinity will be torn down, as the authorities
show disposition to interfere in the matter. All
that saved them last night was the fact that the
wounded man Pray was in one of the rooms of the
building. -Boston Traveller, Sd.

sHAMEFUL.-The rowdes in Cincinnati amuse
themselves by cutting the dresses of ladies in the
street. Several rich dresses have thus been ruined
within few days. The court, in sentencing one
OF the perpetrators last week remarked that it was
an act OF the most outrageous character, combin-
ing depravity and despicabe meanness unpar-
alieled in the history of petty crimes. There
being no law defining the punishment of such a
crime, the court was compelled to sentence him to
the extreme penalty of an ASSAULT fine of 1926
and costa, and to be confined in the dungeon of
the county Jail for ten days, to be fed with bread
and water only, and, at the expiration of his term
OF confinement, to stand committed until the fine
and costs are paid. He got his deserts

This classification will show the difficulties
which beset the Administration 1t will also
show that although the test of favoring the faith
full execution of the Compromise, and opposing
any renewal of the sectional agitation, may
have been subscribed by euery individual ,cho
has taken the bounty, it by no means follows
that it has quieted, or can quiet, all Democratic
opposition to the Compromise. The mere in
spection of our tabular classification will show
that any radical reconciliation, earlier than that
of the millennium, is impossible.
We may wonder at the quiet which reigns
in the political menagerie, but it is no evil
dence that the rabid divisions which have sup
piled its specimens have forgotten the I'M
compromising ferocity of their nature. We
can only express our admiration at the man
ner in which the Executive enters the cage
of the Fire-eater or Barnburner, and with
no other appliances than the power of ap-
pointment or Disappointment, cause those fero-
cious animals to lie down, roll over, to show
their terrible claws and destructive teeth
proffer their paws in token of amity, and with
cleaning eyes and muttered roarings, with a
ferocity subdued by fear, and an affection ex-
cited by hunger, receive the morsel which is
at once the reward Of obedience and the con-
dition of favor.
We hope for the good of the country that
our political VAN AMBuRGH may not some day
have his hand or his head bitten off for his pains
But he certainly will deserve admiration il
he succeeds.
the Executive attempt to restore political peace
by judicious distribution of the patronage; nor
shall we condemn the effort if conducted in the
spirit which his advocates contend that 1t has
been made: without any recognition of or i'm
plication of the Administration in the doctrines
or purposes of the extremists now convened In
the Cabinet. How it can be possible that
they shall all cooperate upon questions Which
must arise involving and reopening the very
issues upon which they have heretofore di-
vided, we cannot imagine. But since the De-
mocratic organs have given assurance to the
nation that the President is still sound upon
the vital question of the Compromise and the
preservation of the Union, we shall await some
act which confirms or confutes the assurance;
albeit we confess that our faith is rather going
the way of the courage Of Bob Acres.

PRosPEcTs OF THE COTToS MARKET. Hunts Mer-
chants Magazine in an extended article on Cotton,
has the following upon the Market prospects Cor the
ensuing year
The market prospects for the coming crop we
conceive to be Of favorable character for the con-
sumption is likely to be adequate TO the absorption
of any probable extent of production. This would
seem to be evident from the course of the past tw
years; for within that period we have seen two sue
cessive crops-the last the largest ever produced
and the combined exceeding any two previous crops
by the important amount Of nearly a million and
quarter of bales, (the crops of l;5l and 1852 to-
gether amount TO about 6, 100000 bales)-we have
seen these two large crops more readily disposed of
than any previous ones, and at prices which not only
presents a satisfactory average throughout but
which shows gradual though steady improvement
fwith some fluctuations from collateral causesl I'M
ill the closing rates for the crop Of 1852 are nearly
fifty per cent higher than the opening ones for that
of 1851 We have already shown that the ratio of
consumption in Great Britain for the first six months
of the current year. has exceeded somewhat the ra-
ito of 1852 and should the political questions which
now agitate Europe be amicably arranged, and the
world remain at peace such is the general prosperi-
ty Of the great consuming countries, that very
ample crop is likely to meet ready market at sat
isfactory prices. At the same time the increased
facilities for its disposal to which we have made
reference in opening remarks, will give our mar
ket peculiar advantage, all OF which will enure
10 the advantages Of lite planter.

PEcT OF AcQuITTAL--On Saturday the court met at
ten o'clock in the morning being an hour later than
usual, that Judge Mclean might commit to writing
summary of the evidence and prepare his charge
to the jury, it appearing that counsel for the defence
would not argue the case ..
On the opening Of the court Thomas Ewing rose
and said that the part of the defence, counsel had
agreed to submit the case without argument
Mr. StanA(rry said the gentlemen only spoke for
the defence, and that the counsel for the Govern
ment, desire TO argue the case. Judge Mclean said
the defence had right to submit their case but he
regretted they had felt themselves authorized to do
So but after one counsel for the prose cuon had made
an opening address, it cannot witha any propriety be
allowed that another counsel should do So
At hal-past ten O'clock Judge Mclean COM
menced reading his charge to the jury, the reading
of which occupied abont forty-fve minutes The
manuscript was then handed to the Jury, and taken
by them to their retirement
The Judge said, ing to the Importance of the
case, his charge would be in writing, for the first
time in his life s.FE - gF3.F
