v,o LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE BUILD

| j ers and epgineers-The proprietors offer for
| rent for term of years, with immediate posses
sion, the splendid property, known as the Belle
| vile Iron Works, situated on the Mississippi, d.
rectly opposite the city Of New Orleans and within
three hundred feet Of the river, with which it is
connected by fine wharves and landings.
The buildings are Of brick, with slated roofs,
and were erected in 1S4S at a very heavy expense;
are Of a most substantial and durable character
| and admirably fitted for foundry and machine
shops, or almost any mechanical business. They
now contain new and powerful engine and boiler
and sufficient machinery, say, planning machines,
lathes, boring machines, blacksmith's tools, &c,
&C., to employ one hundred mechanics, and could
be put in king order in few days. The build
ings cover lot three hundred feet square, and are
| amply large TO receive the necessary machinery
for the use Of eight hundred to one thousand work
men.
The terminus and depot Of the New Orleans,
Opelousas, and Great Western Railroad is situated
| about three hundred yards from the above pro-
perry, which could be availed of 10 great advan-
tage for the manufacture of locomotives and rail.
| road work generally, as well as steam engines,
sugar mills, and other descriptions of machinery.
There are no shops in New Orleans for the
manufacture Of railroad machinery; and, as the
| railroad companies now organized in that city
contemplate the construction OF over one thousand
miles of road-a large part OF which is already
under contract--the property now offered for lease
offers most eligible opportunity for parties de-
| string TO contract TO furnish the engines and ma
chnery for those roads. Responsible contractors,
with their works on the spot, would have an ad-
vantage over northern workshops IN contracting
for the work Of the railroads terminating in New
Orleans.
The establishment and prospect Of remunerat-
ing work to be secured Immediately are worthy
the attention Of manufacturers and engineers gen.
orally
Applications from responsible parties will be
promptly attended 10, and to satisfactory parties
the proprietors Of the works can offer favorable
terms and arrangements.

BLOODY AFFRAY-SEyEN MEN KILLEDi-
| One of the crew of the canal boat Flying Cloud,
owned by Sheppard q Houghtelling, of this
city, arrived in the city yesterday, and brought
intelligence of, terrible encounter between
Captain Henry Brown and D party composed
principally Of the crew Of the repairing scow,
at Ottawa, in which seven of the latter were
shot down. The circumstances as related are
as follows:
At Lasalle, while the Flying Cloud was COM
ing through the locks, one or two Of the scow's
crew came on board and wantonly threw IA
vorite dog of Captain Browns wife into the
lock. The captain thereupon put the man off
the boat, and in no gentle manner They went
to their boat and rallied party Of twenty or
more, and took wagons and came up to Ottawa
to lie in wait for the boat and take vengeance.
a messenger was dispatched from Ottawa by
a friend, 10 meet the boat and warn Captain
Brown of his danger. He loaded two Colts
revolyers and shotgun, and, on arriving ut
Ottawa, gave one Of the pistols to one of his
men, and taking him with him, started for the
collectors Office to settle his business there,
He had not proceeded far from the boat when
the party fell on him with axes and clubs. His
man fred one shot, which dropped one Of the
assailants, and then fled, leaving the captain
alone to fight the battle. He commenced re-
treating to the boat and as the men jumped ON
him he discharged his weapon with fatal pre-
cision, each shot dropping man. With this
loss the party vanished, and the captain re-
gained his boat, somewhat bruised from the
blows received, but not seriously wounded.
He subsequently went up to the town, sur
rendered himself to the authorities, was held
to bail, gave security, and was discharged
Captain Brown is small man, but Of deter
mined character and indomitable courage. He
is highly esteemed by Messrs. Sheppard 4
Houghtelling, who represent him to be Q quiet
peaceable man, and one in whom they have
great confidence. We have frequently heard
complaints of the conduct Of the men on the
State scow, ofconduct most aggravating to cap
tains and crews Chicago Democratic Press.

SUNDAY IN BRooKLYN-STREET PREACHING,
BUT NO RIoT-Sunday passed off in Brook
lyn as quietly and orderly as could be expected
under thh circumstances. There was no dis
turbance Of any mag nitude as where any one
or set attempted to create breach OF the peace
they we're promptly arrested.
The preparations for preserving the peace
were on such an extensive scale that it would
have been almost impossible to create anything
like riot, had there been any disposition man
Tested. Independent fthe regular police force,
upwards of two hundred special policemen were
appointed, making force Of about three hun
dred strong, in addition to about one hundred
sheriff's deputies, and several regiments of the
military.
The public speaking took place as usual by
Mr.. Orr, better known as the Angel Gabriel,
and after he departed. by the Rev. John Booth
of the Bridge street Methodist church.
The procession, which crossed the South Fer
ry passed along quietly until they reached the
ferry gates, when a rush was made upon them,
which was soon checked by portion of the
second division Of the police, who were hemmed
in by the mob and attacked with stones. They
Immediately fred in upon them, and drove them
back. The remainder Of the division soon ar
rived and the mob was put to flight. VIM. I.
Skidmore, special police, had his jaw fractured
with stone. A man residing in twenty-frst
street, New York, was shot in the head, the
ball grazing the back part of the skull. He
was carried into DR.. Quirk's drug store in At.
lantic street, and attended to. His wound is
not dangerous. Another man had part Of his
jaw shot off. All the principal streets were
crowded during the afternoon, until about 8
o'clock in the evening, when the crowd began
to dispense, and at 8 o'clock the city resumed
its usual quiet. At 10 o'clock about twenty five
arrests had been made.

RUSSIAN MANGUvRE.-A German private
letter from Odessa, April 80, received via vi
emma, states that in the night following the
bombardment of that place, the Russian Gene
raj OstenSacken had the bodies Of his dead
soldiers (some five or six hundred) removed
some distance from the city and there secretly
inferred. In order to create the impression
among the inhabitants that the loss Of the
Russians had been but Insignificant, he caused
some forty, whose bodies had been left lying
near the batteries, to be publicly buried with
great pomp on the next day, April "a. This
maneuvre having but partially succeeded, an
individual who had witnessed the slaughter
among the troops, and had conveyed the news
to his family, was arrested, tried on the accu
sation of spreading false reports, convicted
and sentenced to death.

IL Writing Fluid.--It is generally understood
except among stationers and others, whose avoca-
tons have especially led an appreciation ofthe
value of perfectly fluid ink that the secret ofthe
process of producing such fluid has not, until
recently been discovered in this country. To pro-
duce an ink which should be perfect chemical
combination has been problem, the solution OF
which has long exercised in vain the skill of Anne
rcan manufacturers Of this indispensable article.
The only inks in market having any claim TO the
possession Of this characteristic have, until the
introduction Of that to which we now refer, been
imported. Hadley 81 Fields ink is the result Of
practical and elaborate experiment, by one Of our
most accomplished and scientific chemists, and is
claimed 10 be fully equal 10 any imported ink.
Every test ofits quality is freely invited, and the
fullest testimony is given by those who have used
il that it is in every respect equal to the English
ink, (Arnod IL Stephens's) which have hitherto
commanded an extensive sale in the American
market at high prices. II is already widely used
and its excellence attested by many Of our prnci
pal banks, insurance companies, and merchants ;
and, from our own knowledge Of its value, we adj
wise those who appreciate the luxury Of using
really good ink TO give Hadley and Fields trial.
