The NEBRASKA DEBATE IN CoNGREss.-It
would seem that Senator Douglas made an at
tempt to bully our Senator Stuart, and drive
him from his purpose of introducing such an
amendment to the Nebraska bill as should real
ly carry out the principles Of non.intervention
by expressly prohibiting the revival of the old
French law of Slavery. He was unsuccessful,
and we hardly think he will try it again. Altho'
young Senator, Mr.. Stuart is fully competent
to act for himself, and take care of himself and
whoever attempts to lead or browbeat him, will
find himself engaged in an unpleasant and diff
cult JOB.
We have only to add, that he triumphanty
vndcated himself, and that his amendment, OBJ
Waiting one of the worst features of the bill, was
incorporated in it before its passage.

SUCCESS OF THE ERIcssoN-We take pleas
ure in announcing, on the authority of one of
the parties interested in the caloric ship Erics-
son, that they succeeded yesterday in obtaining
nine and ten revolutions per minute with only
one of her engines, which has been improved in
important respects since the late experimental
trip. This secures the same number of (nine or
tenn miles per hour in motion, with only half of
the power in use. The other engine will be got
in order by the first week in April, and about
the middle Of that month, it is intended to des-
patch the ship to Havre, either direct or via Liv-
erpoo The owners now feel assured of sue
cess surprising the most sanguine expectations
ever INDUCED by the inventor. If their hopes
are as well founded as from this statement they
appear to be, then the great nautical revolution
is indeed impending. N. Y. Courier.

ExEcUTIoN.-1homas Motley and William
Blackledge, who, few months ago, murdered
slave in the most brutal manner,-for which
crime they were tried and sentenced to death,-
were hung at Waterloo, South Carolina, on
Friday week. Aboltionists have always assert
ed that slaves might be treated with the ut
most barbarity without any danger of punish
ment to the perpetrators. What will they say to
the above fact, which gives the lie to their afirma-
tons!

Fox NEBRAsKA.-During the past three days
large number of persons have arrived in this
city from various quarters, on their way to Ne
braska Territory; and as but few boats were in
port for Missouri river, they have been compel
led to wait for boats to get ready to start. So
great is the rush for passage, that although
there are several boats in port, their cabins are
full, even before they are advertised to leave

GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN,
WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL s 1854.

BREAD STUFFs.-There is much speculation
we see as to the amount Of breadstuffs in the
country this season, and accounts bearing upon
the matter are somewhat contradictory. There
is, undoubtedly, n large stock of grain in the
Western country, but from the means of infor-
amount of wheat and -four is less than it has
been in preceding years, and that the quantity
destined for the Eastern market is not very
large. The latest arrivals from the old world
show further decline in flour, and prices both
there and in this country have now receded far
from the famine rates which were attained
few weeks since. But what will be the future
tendency of prices is a matter Of conjecture,
and will, of course, depend materially upon the
position which the Eastern question assumes
Should the war proceed, of which there is yet
fair prospect, its effects upon breadstuffs will
continue to be realized, and there may be an adj
vance from present rates. The influence of an
European war upon the agricultural interests of
this country has been pretty thoroughly discuss
ed, as well rs felt to some extent, and the only
conclusion is that it would prove beneficial and
warrant our farmers in extending operations to
the full extent of their means. At all events
we think it is safe to devote more than an ordi-
nary share of attention to the spring crops.
There is at least fair prospect of an increased
foreign demand for our products; but should
the case be otherwise, the consumption in this
country is so enormous snd so constantly in
creasing as to make US believe that remunera-
tive prices will be maintained independent of

A FATAL COLLEGE RIOT AT NEW
HAVEN

The particulars of the affair are given by the
New Haven Journal as follows:
The disturbance began a few evenings since
mt Homan's Athen@um, between two or three
students of the college and about the same num-
Der of young men, residents OF the city. Last
night the number Of belligercnts was increasin
on both sides, and after the performance at
Athenaum was over, collision took place
Chapel street, south Of the public square. TT
affair did not appear 10 be very threatening, uly
til one or more students fired pistols, some say
into the ar--others that they were fired into the\
crowd. Whatever may have been the facts in
relation to the first Shots the last three or four
were aimed into the crowd. A young man na-
med Patrick O'Neil, about twenty-one years OF
age, was stabbed TO the heart, so that he expired
almost Immediately after. Another person was
shot through the tleshy part of his leg below
tho knee, and Mr. r. H. Scofeld was shot thre'
the muscle Of the left arm-the ball also cut
through his coat and vest, and passed within an
inch or two of his heart. He had just come out
of the hall in Smiths building, and was ascend
ing the walk opposite Trinity church. Hearing
tho report of pistol, he stopped and turned
around, when he saw fire arms evelled at the
crowd near the Park House. The third shot, as
stated, passed through his own arm. 1t was
fearful chance for him.
The police were promptly on hand, aud exer-
cised all their powers to quell the disturbance;
but the fact that fire arms had been used. excit-
ed the mob to pitch of frenzy, so that it was
feared that many lives would be lost before the
disturbance could be suppressed. Two or three
alarm bells were rung, and the cry of fire was
raised, Two cannon Of the artillery company
were seized loaded with powder, stones and
brick, and brought in front of the south college
building for the purpose of firing into it. Cries
of bring out the murderers" resounded in all
directions. Captain Bissell, of the police, man.
aged to keep possession of one of the guns,while
other citizens took charge of the other, and thus
prevented the horrors which would have result
ed from the discharge of either, for the contents
would probably have passed through the build
ing into the dwellings Of citizens. The Mayor
arrived at this juncture of affairs, and made i'm
mediate proclamation. He addressed the crowd,
showing the folly and wrong of taking further
steps, and the disastrous consequences that
would ensue, which would be evil, and only evil.
He commanded all present to desist and retire
to their homes, assuring them that the city au-
thorties would use their utmost endeavors to
secure the offenders and bring them to justice.
1t being nearly two o'clock, the crowd mostly
dispersed, though some stood by the cannon ut
that hour. The pieces were afterward taken in
to the Jail yard by some of the civil authority.

The Concord Patriot, from whose tables these

ance that they are correct, says-"W We have no
doubt that the majority in the House will be
about 10 on all test questions between the de-

circumstances a most glorious one.

~ The steamer Black Warrior, lately seiz-
ed by the Cuban Authorities upon pretext of
having violated revenue regulation, arrived at
New York, on the 29th ult. The boat, which
according to first accounts had been condemned
and fined $25O,OOO, was finally released upon
payment, by Capt Bullock, of $4,000, under
protest This arrangement, however, made with
the Captain of the steamer, does not in reality
change the position of the matter so far as our
government is concerned, but it may, ms some
think, prove an obstacle in the way of obtaining
speedy satisfaction from Spain for the outrage
that has been committed. Whether or not the
release of the Black Warrior was in any degree
owing to the probability of prompt action on
the part of our government, it is gratifying to
have some assurance that such a course is like.

compatible with the national dignity, and that

of late years treated our commerce can no long.

CHICAGO HARBoR.--Mr. G. Y. Richmond, from
the committee on the improvement of the har-
Dor, reported the result of their investigation to
be that the south channel is good with IL feet
water at the shoalest place. The bar has extend.
ed during the winter 300 or 400 feet. On going
out at the north CHANNEL the water suddenly
shoals, about 30 feet from the end of the north
pier, to feet, and continues with little variation
100 feet to deep water again. To make good
channel here will require dredging 200 feet wide,
IL feet deep for the distance of 100 feet. The
placing of buoys or piles to mark the locality of
the bar and channels was strongly urged. The
committee called attention 10 the inefficiency of
the present light house to guide vessels into the
harbor. Chicago Press
