THE RIOT IN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ECLIPSE.
The three prominent events Of the past week are
The passage of the Nebraska bill, the annular
eclipse, and the fugitive slave riot in Boston. The
first las been attended with marvellous buS not
unexpected perturbation of the political elements
generally. The Office holders are in an awkward
fix especially, as the administration, convinced
that the principles Of the Nebraska measure are be-
coming vastly more popular since the settlement
of that question than its most sanguine friends
hoped is making it the test of political ortho-
doxy. We pity the poorfeows, far few could "wheel
about and turn about" with the celebrity of the or
gan at the capital and having once lostthe cue
what remained for them butt take the Chances.
Already the Collector of this port has received or
ders to dispense with the services of the unsound
in the custom house; but it is said that he rebels
against the edict, and Mr.. Redfeld WILL therefore,
in all probability, be BronsoniEed for his contumacy.
Our Postmaster too, and the subordnates of his
department, hold their places by very fragile
tenure. Mr. Fowler belongs to the bainburner fac
ton, which was but the other day defeatedn an at
tempt to choose Grand Sachem of the wire pullers
of Old Tammany. The influence of that party is
gone. Even John Cochrane is set down as among
good service the Executive that he may possiblyes
cape the general decaptaon. The first of June will
perhaps witness the hegira of an army of patriots
who have grown sleek at the public crib. They
should join the Nebraska emignton company
capital s2,500000-now organizing by the abo
h.onists, and illustrate the principle of squatter
sovereignty in the UNEMPLOYED soliudes of that mag
nifcent country. As forthe eclipse, with the excep
tion ofrecording slight but very agreeable cool
ness Of the atmosphere, and brisk demand for
window glass, with corresponding activity among
the GLACIERS, we have nothing to say. The fu gitive
slave riot at Boston now occupies the public mind
We give the fullest details Of this affair on the first
page, andhaye commented upon it in an editorial
article. The telegraphic dispatches contain the
latest information from the scene of the outrage
AT late hour last night large crowd remained
collected about the court house, but the presence of
strong force of military prevented any hostile de-
monstration. The government at Washington has

NEWS FROM HAVANA.
Our correspondence from Havana describes the
feeling produced by the arrival of the French vessels
of war, amongst the Official portion of the popula
ton, as amounting almost to frenzy of delight
They now think themselves secure. against all ute
rior danger from this quarter The Captain-G
and his lady were busy fsting their new visitors,
and treating them, amongst other sights, with the
humane spectacle of bull fight. The new capita
tion tax turns ont, as usual, to be only anothe
device to replensh the bankrupt treasury at Mad
rid. It is not unlikely that it win give rise to a,
explosion amongst the slave holders. We give the
text of it in full
