although the report was erroneous, there
still was some foundation for such a rumor.
The Commissioner of Public Buildings states
in letter, that on the night of the 9Th instant,
the marble belt attached to the sword in the
hand of Washington fell by its own weight,
Upon ins. Getting the fragments it was found
that a crack across it had existed for a sufi-
cicnt length of time to be completely filled
with green moss and at this place it parted at
the time it fell. q. F.
DANSsrRoN COScERr,-A very respectable
audience greeted the lady and those gentlemen
who so kindly assisted to make the entertain
ment pleasing. The vocal performance of Mr.
and Mrs. DannstrOD was excellent, and was
loudly applauded We regret tina. they were
not sufficiently acquainted with our language
to perform all the pieces so that the entire
audience could understand what was sung
The performance of the Professors Foertch
and Scheel received its due share of applause.
The audience appeared satisfied with the con-
cert throughout.
FANCY FAIR-We would remind our readers,
thata Fancy Fair fer this and the two following

Lutheran Church, under the Pastoral care Of
the Rev. j. G. Butler, at Odd f fellows Hall
The object is a praiseworthy one, being in aid
Of the church. and ought, therefore, to be
patronized We hope that the friends of
religion will help the cause by their personal
attendance. .r .-r -'
INeUBsr.-Mary A. Baltimore, colored
girl was arrested last night for poisoning her
infant by giving it laudanum. The infant was
eleven months old. Witnesses before the in
quest, which was held this morning, gave the
mother an excellent character. The verdict
of the jury was that the death Of said infant
was caused by the mother giving the laudanum,
which she did through ignorance and want Of
thought, and not, as they were at 6rst led to
suppose, through malice or evil design"

The reports from Washington are indicative
that time and money have done their corrupt
ing work with some of the weakest of the
Northern members of Congress, and that the
administration will secure majority of the
votes Of the House in favor of the infamous
Nebraska bill. The powers that be, have de-
termined to bringthe matter to the test of
vote the present week, and there can be little
doubt that they viii succeed in doing it. The
President and his cringing cabinet see that all
is lost if they fail that there is political fu-
ture for them if they do not succeed in carry
ing the measure to which they stand pledged
before the country and they will play out the
game like desperate men, as they are, regard
less ofal other consequences than those which
may affect themselves. If the bill succeeds, if
the Missouri compromise is repealed, and the
territories shall thus be opened to the extern
sion of slavery the Pierces Cushings and
Douglasses at Washington doubtless expect
the Northern people viii ''acqstiesce" as they
have been in the habit of doing, under all
previous iniquitous enactments, and that
Southern gratitude and Northern dough will
again conspire to reward them for their treach-
cry to Freedom and devotion to Slavery. Some
of the news papers whose correspondents are
| upon the ground, express belief that the Ad-
| ministration viii fail in carrying its point but
| our fears are as great as they have been at any
time since the measure was brought before
| Congress. From private information as to the
| means and appliances made use Of, by the adj
ministration, to bribe the unprincipled, and
| oyerawe the timid, we are constrained to be-
lieyc that little less than miracle can avert
the threatened danger.
If the Missouri Compromise is repealed, the
integrity of all Compromises is destroyed
If the South in the face if the indignant re-
monstrances of the Northern people consents
| to unite with the bribed and traitorous minions
| of a Northern President,in the preparation of
this infamous wrong, then the South must be
| prepared for new issne, and-a more formida-
bic struggle than she has ever been called up
! on to sustain.
1.-THE South will not now act in good faith
on this question, then the Northern people
must fall back upon themselves. Self preser-
vation viii compel us to stand up in our maj
esty and manhood; first, to crush to the earth
the northern men who have betrayed us; and
next, to drive out from the land the foul crime
of slavery, for which we are betrayed. The
repeal of the Missouri Compromise will be the
signal for the Organization of great, united,
and invincible Northern party.

MONDAY, May s, 1854.
Judge Allen opened the case He stated
that in August last, Mr.. Richmond was brick
maker, carrying on business in Still River
on the 18th of August, 1858, he and his wife
were on the train from Uxbridge to Proyi-
dence, when the collision took place. Mrs.
Richmond was killed, and Mr.. Richmond was
seriously injured. Mr.. Richmond sued for
$4,000, as compensation for his own injuries,
and for the loss of his wife.
Wm. ComstOck testified that he lived at
Still River, with Mr.. Richmond He was on
board of the train when the collision took
place. Saw Richmond about half an hour af-
ter the accident. He complained of being
hurt-his wife was dead. He has not been
able to work SO well as formerly.
Cross examined by Nath'l Wood.-Saw
bruise on Richmonds knee, and an abrasion
of the skin Of his shin. Do not think there
is much difference in his size or weight since
the accident. He has done light lwork since
the 18th Of August. Driven horses, edged
brick, and leyelled off for the kilns.
Vim. J. Hayrod, of Still River, has boarded
Mr.. Richmond at different times. Have no.
ticed great difference between his health
before and since the accident. His appetite is
not so good now. He rises with difficulty
from the table. Have seen him place his hand
on his side, and heard him complain. With
very little exertion he would breathe hard.
Cross -emamined by Nathl Wood.-Haye
not noticed Richmond particularly since the
accident, till about three weeks ago. Was at
the brickyard several times last fall. Do not
think saw Richmond at work there.
James Hayrod, son Of the above testified
that he has slept with Mr.. Richmond, both
before and since the accident. Since that
event, he has been restless in bed, and woke
up the witness every night, from one to four
times. Had noticed several purple spots on
his stomach. Walked out with him, and no.
ticed that he was easily tired.
Jesse ApgeH has worked three seasons with
Mr.. Richmond. His testimony, in relation to
Mr.. Richmond ability to work, &C., was sim
liar to that of the preceding witness
Joseph CLARK, ~, brother of the deceased
Mrs. Richmond A. G. Brown, and Miss
Louisa Clark, sister of the late Mrs. Rich
Richmond, all of eouthbridge stated that
Mr.. Richmond had manifested loss of appe-
tite. and loss of physical strength since the
accident. A&
Sydney Clark, another brother of Mrs.
Richmond, has roomed with Mr.. Richmond,
during the winter. His testimony was SINH
lar to that of James Harrod.
Or. John I. Bassett testified that he exam
med Mr.. Richmond shortly after the accident.
Dio not observe any material injury. Have
examined since. and find disturbance of the
pulse, and indications of injury in the
spine, &c.

The WARD TRIAL.-The Kentucky news
papers continue to be filed with evidences of
the intense excitement growing out of the re-
cent mockery of justice in that State. Ward,
the murderer, accompanied by his wife and
brother, went to Cannolton on the lst instant.
AS soon as his arrival was known, a letter was
addressed him from the citizens, requesting
lnm 70 leave the town, and considerable ex
citencnt was caused by his presence. Some
OF the citizens Of Louisville design to testify
fneir ieelngs towards Mr.. Wolfe, for his abuse
of them in the trial, by presenting him with
pewter mug with Inscriptions denoting it to
be the gift OF ''the Bloodhounds of Portland" !"
the terms in which Mr.. Wolfe spoke Of them.
The L7uiscitie c0wiersstates that the various
committees appointed to canvass the city and
solicit subscriptions for monument to the
memory Of Prof. Butler, and the assistance q
his widow and child, are meeting with g-ea
success. There is a universal disposition t,
contribute to this lnudable object.

Riots in Chcsea and East B0stOms
On Sunday last, street preacher, named
Orr, attempted to hold forth in the morning
on Maverick square, but he was ordered off
by the police. In the afternoon says the
Courier, attended bya number of his admir-
ers, he visited Chelsea in a carriage drawn by
six horses, and was conducted to what is
called the g Irish settlement" where he held
forth in characteristic style against popery."
His harrangue occasioned several fights, dur
ing which policeman received a severe cut
upon the head with brick which was thrown
into the crowd. The assault upon the officer
was the signal for greater activity, and in or
der to swell the throng the alarm bells were
sounded. The mob then proceeded to the
| Catholic Church, and threatened to pull it
| down; whereupon the authorities interlered.
| The rot-act was read but the rioters refused
| toretire unless upon ''compromise principles"
| Ii the authorities would allow them to take
the cross from the steeples of the Catholic
| Church, they would withdraw, but not other
wise, i'll peace. Whether this proposition was
assented- to by the authorities, we know not
but at any rate young man assembled the stee-
/ pie, and dismounted the cross By this time
the military compeny had arrived and the mob
| dispersed. Firearms were discharged during
| the excitement; but we do not learn that any
| person was injured by their contents.
The most extravagant rumors were in circu-
lation throughout the city last evening as to
the transactions at Chelsea but the above
statement, which is based upon the facts de-
rived from policemen, is, no doubt, correct
The cause Of the quarrel and object of those
| who provokedit, are not very easily ascertain
ed; but the disturbance, no doubt was in
part the result of the unhappy prejudice
which has for some time past been brewing in
certain quarter against the Catholics. 1t il to
be hoped that serious conflict may be avoid
| ed.
At East Boston, last evening there was a
large collection of persons in the vicinity of
the Catholic Church, and violence was threat
ened The Mayor was apprised of tee fact,
and despatched large force of watchmen to
protect the peace. Three or four persons were
arrested; but they were all subsequently dis
CHARGED, with the exception of one man named

The general subject will be Human Life, .

Mr.. Alcott is well known to many, by name,
as man of rare and somewhat eccentric ge-
MUS, and holding very individual views ofhu
man nature, education and destiny. The
mode he chooses for expressing his opinions is
not the pen, the pulpit or the lecturers desk,
but simply, conversation though his CONVEX
sations are in fact, sort of familiar lecture on
men and things, often given in mystical
manner, sketching rather beyond common in
tellects, Cor in fact, it would sometimes seem,
of any but his own)-but full Of fine analysis,
admiral illustration and original statement.
The SIX conversations will take place at pri-

TRE SEVERE Fhosr. Much unnecessary
alarm, we apprehend, is felt, in relation to
the effect upon fruit trees, of the severe frost
on Saturday night A few peach blossoms,
only, were open. Those and apricot blossoms
that were open, are undoubtedly, so much in
jured, as to promise but little fruit. But
peach buds, not expanded, would not suffer
by the frost. The same may be said of plums,
cherries, apples and pears, except in cases
where the pears and cherries were so forward
as to be near blooming, in which case they
may have suffered by the freezing of the stems
of the fruit. To some extent this is true Of
the most forward pears. But, generally, we
think, that both cherries and pears have es.
capped eerious injury.
