The bombardment and burning of this place is just now the subject of universal comment. The last papers bring to us the orders of the Secretary of the navy to Capt. Rollins and his report after the attack. The whigs as usual are making an effort to give false view to the affair and bring down some odium upon the administration. The sympathizers of the North are indignant at the haste and want of proper consideration exhibited in the destruc- tion of negro town, and petitions areno doubt already in the process of manufacture, asking from Congress reimbursement for losses sustain ed by the innocent barbarans. Another party of whigs denounce the Secretary of the navy for not giving to Capt. Rollins instructions more explicit tban those under which he acted, as if such thing were possible, in the absence of information as to the effect of an appeal for redress This might have ended in some pro position of indemnity which this government could not foresee, and Capt. Rollins. a prudent, able and cool commander was left to act as the exigency of the case might demand. He seems to have entertained no doubt as to the course of proceeding, after afording the people of the town every opportunity to make reparation.
 The promptness and celerity with which this insult was avenged, claims from this growing. factious set no mite of approval, but anything in reference to the affair is seen through glass darkly," where the administration can be as- coi1ad

Riot in St, Louis.

In St. Louis on election day, August 7, a very bloody riot took place, in which property to an immense amount was destroyed and ten per- sons killed and twenty-five or thirty wounded. Nearly or quite all of the houses attacked were occupied by Irish and many of them were low whisky shops.
 The fighting commenced at the polls in the Fifth ward, where great number of Irish votes were challenged. From the time the first blow was struck, the crowd increased with great rapidity until it reached five or six thou sand persons highly excited and seeking blood.
 All the Irish houses in the neighborhood were attacked, their inmates driven out and their contents destroyed. The crowd met with feeble residence until 1t reached the neigbor- hood of the levee or Battle Row, where the Irish had collected in great numbers, armed to the teeth. Here the invading force was several times driven back, and two men were killed and several wounded
 At length solid column was formed and charge made which forced the occupants of Battle Row to give way, and the whole mob poured down the levee like stream of ven- geance. The residents were panic stricken and scattered in every direction, some of them talk ing refuge in their houses from the windows of which they kept up cont nual volley of firing. Both parties fought desperately for some time, but at length the rioters overcame all opposition. Every bar-room was entered and demolished-fruit and soda water shops were invaded and the proprietors all routed- One woman was struck with a stone and fell from third story window. She was taken up for dead, but afterwards recovered The ware houses and stores closed their doors and win dows, but even this was not protection as window shutters were torn off and some doors broken open.
 A St. Louis paper says-"It is at present impossible to ascertain the amount of damages done to property in the city. Nearly two hun- dred houses have been more or less damaged.'

AMERICANS IN THE RUSSIAN SERv1cE,- The Charleston Courier says that considera- ble number of Americans have gone to St. Pe- tersburg within the last few months. Eight physicians of the United States after having studied some time in Paris, have entered the Russian service recently; six were immediately sent south to Prince Gortschakoff's command. while the other two were placed in the militia " hospitals at St. Petersburg. Another com- pany of three or four are making preparations to start They have entered the service for one year, less term of service is not allowed. The pay is eight hundred roubles annually, while, although furnished with everything, the expenses required to keep up the position are much beyond the salary allowed, and only those who have an income beyond their pay can support the position. This is true of all aficers of rank in the Russian army.

ADULTERATIoN OF LIQUOR. In England lately brewer named Henry Woodali was charged With adulterating his beer. Itappear- ca upon the examination that quarter of a pound of what Is called grains of paradise had been brewed' with one hundred gallons of ale. The magistrate in passing sentence re- marked in strong terms upon the injurious and pernlcious nature of the practice, and regretted that he had not the power to imprison as we'll as line, as the intoxication caused by the infu- sion of this noxinus drug made it's recipients mad, and was the origin of many of the brutal assaults which now so frequently occur. The accused was fined $25O.
