stable Ingalls,, for the arrest of the Rev.
Thomas w. Higginson, Of Worcester, on
the charge of riot in this city on the
evening of the Goth ult. Mr.. Ingalls, at
once proceeded to Worcester, and this
morning he arrested Mr.. .Higginson and
brought him to this city, when he was
taken before the Police Court, and waiv-
ing an examination, gave bail in the sum of
$4,000 for his appearance at the Municipal
Court DIR. Walter Claiming and Mr.. w.
|. Bowditch becoming his s%ureties.
The complaint against Mr.. Higgison sets
forth that on the Goth ult., he, "contriving
and intending to disturb the peace of said
Commonwealth, did, with five hundred or
more PERSONS. meet and assemble together,
to disturb he'peace of said Commonwealth,
and being so assembled, did unlawfully and
%riotously beset aud attacks the Court House
in said city and did throw pieces of wood
and other missiles at and against said
Court House, and did break the glass in the
windows of said Court House, and did
force in and break open one of the doors of
said,House, and did then and there unlaw-
fully and riotously fire and discharge sun
dry fire arms loaded with powder and ball,
and did utter loud outcries and hurras, and
did then and there and thereby draw to-
gether n great crowd of persons, to the
great terror and disturbance of divers citi-
zens."
This complaint, as well as the others
connected with the riot of the Goth ult.,

az The General Assembly will com
mence in this city to-day. The business OF
the election having been almost completed
at The last session, and the charters CON
stitutionally continued from the January
session, having been disposed OF, we do not
know ofany considerable amount Of busi-
ness that will BE- likely TO engage The Mt
tention of The Assembly. The resolutions
for the amendment Of the constitution,
which were referred to a committee, will
probably be acted upon.
The opinion Of the Judges Of the SUI
preme Court uron the con%stitulionoli'y OF
the violent proceedings of the last General
Assembly in reversing the judgment and
blotting the records OF the Court, will, we
suppose, be given.
Private business will, Of course, dcmand
a large share of the attention of the As
.embly, although the House has indicated
very plainly its reluctance to entertain bus
mess for which the law provides other trI
hunals.

o
Intercourse mih .Lpan.-A letter from
Hong Kong, speaking of HE treaty with
Japan, says it is beyond doubt that the free
intercourse between the two countries is
fully opened, and that two ports for the U.
States steamers to supply Goals would be
conceded to the Americans. BY the
treaty, kind treatment and an abundant sup
ply of water and provisions are secured to
all Americans who may visit any part of the
Japanese coast. The ports conceded are
Simondi, in Niphon, near Cape Uzul, and
Hakatam, on the Island and in the Straits
M%atzamai, but it is agreed that should the
report of the naval officers, sent to survey
these places, be unsatisfactory, other ports
in the same Island will be selected in their
stead. On the 9th ult., after the treaty
had been signed, Com. Perry was to re-
ceive an entertainment to the four imperial
Commissioners.
The railroad and electric telegraph taken
out by the squadron to Japan, were in sue
cessful operation.
When the Susquehannah left, the ia
panese utterly denied having made any
treaty with, or concessions to, the Russian
government.
Immediately after the treaty is signed,
Capt. Adams will leave for America, via
California, in the Saratoga, with dispatches
for the American government.

COMMENT IS SUPERFLUoUs.-The Rich.
mond Enquirer publishes Two anonymous
communications, one of which suggests, a.
a retaliation for the recent conduct" of
some Bostonians, that the people of the
South shall rcfusc to subscribe to a~ny1our-
nal published in a free state, aud dismiss
from their employment any Northern men
who have not given unmisiakable evidence
Of their devotion to Southern interests and
institutions the other recommends that
the Southern people generally unite in de-
clariDg, that hence-iorward they will never
deal and trade, in any manner, with any
community in which scenes similar to
those lately enacted in Boston shall occur,
and that for every fugitive slave withheld,
or rescued, herafter, a Northern vessel in
their ports shall be confiscatcd to the own.
or Of the slave.
And these suggestions, the Enquirer
says, " commend themselves to its approx
al, by their manifest propriety and e%fiicien-
cy."

A MODEL ~CHARGE.-The following anu
sing incident transpired at the Spring term
of the Circuit Court of st. Croix county
Wisconsin.
The Judge Of the Circuit court, lately in
session at Hudson, Wisconsin, gave a
charge to the Jury on a certain action
tried before him, which excited consid-
cradle merriment in the court at the
time.
The action was to recover the value of
certain liquors sent from below and con-
signed for sale to the defendant. Evil
dence was given on the part of the de-
PENDANT to show that the brandies, &C.,
were made of forty cent whiskey, and
drugged at that |; whereas the Judge was
very indignant, and charged the jury very
nearly as follows
GENTLEMEN OF jury Pure unn-
dulterated liquor is a wholesome beverage,
and as far as the experience Of the Cont
extends, conduces to health and longevity /;
but a bad article, cannot be tolerated and
ifdealers from below will send up into this
beautiful country, so blessed with the
smiles of the benignant creator, such a
miserable quality Of liquor as the proof
shows this TO be, in this court, gentlemen
of the jury, they cannot recover.
