had struck him; the three were behind the
bar contendlng; Forester was down, and the
others had hold Of him.
Mr.. Hollinshead then closed the testimo-
ny for the defence, bearing on the fact that
no murderous intent was proven in either OF
the defendants, and that no one saw either
of them strike blow on the prosecuting
witness which would have produced the
wound shown to the Court. He therefore
moved the discharge of defendants.
Henry Hale, Esq, replied on the part OF
the prosecution, and made an eloquent plea,
showing the discrepancy in the testimony for
defence, and necessity for some action in
the case Of these men, who had evidently
broken laws, murderously assaulted quiet
citizen, and created a riot in his house.
Judge Simons said that he thought that
the testimony was sufficient to cause them
to appear before jury, evenif it found them
guilty of a smaller offence than charged in
the complaint. He could not, therefore, dis
charge the defendants, and let them 60 free,
when they had evidently committed crime.
He therefore held them both in $1,000 recog-
nizance, to appear before the next District

THE RIVER.

SrEAMBoT ARRIVALS FOR THE MONTH
OF APRIL, 1857.-We have examined our
files of last year to institute comparison
between the amount Of steamboat business,
number of arrivals, &C., this year, and that
during the same month of last year.
1856-On the 9th of April, the first boat
left st. Paul for the head of Lake Pepin.
There were % days of navigation this
month, ten of which was before the Lake
opened.
During this time there were ffty-eigm ar
rivals of these 4S were from below, and
10 from the Minnesota river.
The first arrival from below the Lake, was
on the evening of the 18th.
1857-The first boat, the Time and Tide,
left for below on Tuesday evening, the 18th.
The first boat which left for the Minneso-
ia river, was the Equator, on Saturday the
18th.
During this month there was but seventefn
days of navigation which was but to the
head of the Lake, during which time, there
were thirty-two arrivals. Of these "a were
from the head of Lake Pepin, and 8 from
the Minnesota river.
Thus it will be seen that during the whole
of last month there was no arrival from be.
low the Lake. Such thing has never be-
fore occurred, since this country has been
settled.

The WEATHER has been exceedingly beau
tiful for several days, and stoves, over-coats,
and roaring fires, and such indispensable
things of the racy season we have just pass
ed through have become obsolete. People
sit in open houses these beautiful moonlight
evenings, and enjoy the balmy air. The
hills, but a day since released from ice and
snow, are now looking green and fresh with
the springing grass. If our spring has been
backward, our farmers have yet abundant
time to do all that they wish this season.
We are not worse off than our neighbors Of
the middle States, who are just now planting
over what the frost killed after the first
planting. Poor people! Wonder why any
one stays in that country, when they car
find country like this where the frost DOM
kill the crops every spring.

PAID OFF-The two hundred Irish voters
from Dakota county who were quietly al
lowed to vote in the Second Ward on Tues
day are said to have been men who owed
their brethren of ST. Paul debt for servi-
ces rendered at their county seat contest on
st. Patrick's Day last. We trust the ac-
count is now square, and that on the first
Monday in June these accommodating friends
and neighb0rs will respectively confine them
selves to their own sides of the river.

w were yesterday shown by deputy
Sheriff PRNcE, heavy pair Of iron "knuck-
les, found BY him on the person of Smith,
tie rioter, whose arrest will be found in an
Other place. There is no doubt but what
these were used on Tuesday night, as one Of
the persons struck has wound very much
ike this cowarlly instrument would make,
and supposed it was done thus, at the time.
In some States, the carrying such weapons is
made a reni;entiary offence; and if this be
proven on the wretch on whom they were
found, NC hope it will add five to tho ten
years imprisonment he already deserves
Much praise is due Mr.. Prince for the prompt
manner IN which the arrests were made.

Saracen. LEFT On account of some difficulties,
and without demanding their wages of the
clerk, entered suit before Esq. Lemay, for
over $40, icing more than was due. The
captain and agent had the trial set for "after
supper" out when they again went to the
Justices Office, at about 6 o'clock, the trial
was concluded, and judgment rendered
against the Incorporating defendants for the
amount, and some $50 costs. As the DE-
PENDANTS deemed this unfair, they refused to
pay il. and returned to the boat. CAT the

pressed it, when all abroad were wrapt in
sveet sleep, except the Waterman, party Of
men rushed on the boat, armed with guns
and hubs" The Waterman resisted the in

PILFERING.-During the late crowded
state of the Levee, it required the constant
attention of the police stationed there to
prevent barrels of sweet or spirituous fluid,
or boxes broken, from being relieved of some
of the contents by "smashers." Yesterday
morning an amusing case occurred, where an
officer observed an old woman secreting a
bag of salt which she had got from sack
lying there. Finding she was watched, she
endeayored to hide it under her clothes but
the policeman investigated the ease, and
oyerhaued the goods.

The War Eagle, Capt. Kingman, arrived
a little after the Ocean Wave, with full
load of assengers.
Mr.. COFFIN, Clerk of the steamer War
Eagle places us under obligations for papers
of the 5th from Galena.
A magnificent steamer, which arrived on
Wednesday, is thus described by friend
Croffut, of the Times:
An airy little steamboat which in the
absence of another name we shall call the
Nondescript, came up the river On Monday,
and attracted much attention as she swept
scornfully by the feet Of steamers at the
lower levee. We have not the precise d.
mems ons, but measuring her ocuarly as
she passed by In perspective, she must be
about 16 feet long, feet wide, Sd inch
hold, and propelled by an engine of two
hen power. The amb tious and sprightly
craft is now anchored ON one of the 81 900
building lots at the foot of Market Street,
which the present rise in the river has
covered with few inches of water"

wandering over the new and magnificent
steamers which have lately visited our wharf,
we naturally fell to musing on the changes
which have come over this business within
the last few years. 1t was but dozen sea-
sons ago, apparently, when any kind of a
Graf: was deemed good enough to freight
with hundreds of lives, and passenger was
lucky if lie got to his journeys end on the
western waters without having contracted
disease from the dirty, crowded, ill-ventla
ted, filthy cabins of some of the boats; b.
ing blown into pieces by an explosion, or
sent to an untimely grave in the Mississippi
by snag protruding through the rotten hull,
or by careless collisions, &c. All felt re-
lief when the trip was over, and the point
was to stay on board as short time, and get
off as soon as possible.
Then it was considered part of the trade
for steamboat captain to be swearing,
drinking ruffian, and all the officers to follow
SUIT Swarms of gamblers were allowed to
infest the boats, and pickpockets, thieves,
and flash men ruled the cabin. Rows, fights,
murders, &C., were frequent on nearly every
boat, and drunkenness and rcvclry went un-
restrained. Races, ending liz explosions,
killing scores, or intentional collisions, were
of every Gay occurrence, while drunken and
inexperienced pilots and engineers were EN-
pioyed.
But new order Of things has been insti.
tuted. Year after year, boats more and
more splendid, convenient and spacious have
been built and with an eye to the comfort,
safety and pleasure of passengers. Each
succeeding season brought out something
more elegant, safe, magnificent and speedy
than the preceding one. Congress itself
passed laws regulating the trade in the west
ern rivers, and enforcing wholesome require
ments.
Now total change has come over the
steamboat trade on the entire Mi ssissppi.-
The boats are well termed Floating palaces"
where passengers are RECALLED with sumptuous
fare, luxurious quarters and delighted with
the elegant richness of tho ornamental fin
ish of their transient houses. Neatness,
cleanliness, comfort and good order reign on
all the leading boats; attentive, gentlemanly,
experienced, and sober officers command
them, and no pains are spared to render
the trip pleasant; andal leave the boat with
regret that the voyage was not longer. Ar
tistic and mechanical skill are lavished in the
construction Of these ''doating palaces, "and
all the latest and most costly appliances and
inventions for the safety of life and the en-
joyment and luxury of those on board are
secured,
What improvements may yet come, we
can scarcely foretell. but we believe that
stcamboating has not yet reached the acme
which it can attain.
