WEEKLY REVIEW.
In New York, the fourth Of July
was spend in rioting and ~bloodshed by
the FOUNDERS Very early on that
morning a crowd of this stripe assailed
the Atlantic Guards, who, not antici-
pating the attack, we're compelled to
retreat after a desperate fghtin which
clubs, brick bats, stones and firearms
we're freely used. This was but the
beginning Of the disturbances, which
for two days, at different intervals,
and in different parts Of the city have
taken place. The Metropolitan police
being required to interfere with the
"private fights" of boys of different
streets, the combatants generally united
their forces against the policemen,
for whom they do not entertain ami
cable feelings. Barbados were erect
ed By both sides in several streets and
the affair grew serious enough to induce
Commissioner Draper to call out three
regiments. However, the police alone
on the evening of the fifth succeeded
in quelling. the riots. Ten persons
were reported dead, and the number Of
those dangerously wounded as exceed
ing one hundred.
The act relative to the establishment
in New York of a Metropolitan police
has been declared constitutional by the
court Of appeals.
VIM. L. Marcy, late Secretary of
State, died at Albany on the fourth of
July.
The preparations for the Utah ex-
petition are going on with great zeal
at Fort Leayenworth. 1t is under
stood that the troops will be sent out
in three division, so that they be sure
of an abundance of grass for the
horses and cattle. Gen. Harvey will
have the command of the whole force.
Gen. Wool, whose health inspired
his friends with serious alarm, is now
considered entirely out of danger.
The ST. Lawrence river, about twelve
miles above Quebec, was made the
scene of a terrible calamity on the
night of the ID inst. The steamer
Montreal having on board between
four and five hundred passengers, was
burnt, and between three and four
hundred persons are reported as having
persisted by FIRE and water.
Hon. n. P. Banks has accepted the
nomination Of Governor rendered him
by the Republican Convention of Mas
sachusetts.
The Democratic State Convention
Of Georgia, have passed resolutions
condemning the course pursued II
Kansas by Gov. Walker, and express.
ing the belief that he ought to be re.
moved. The Washington Union dis.
cusses at length the question, andvery
clearly indicates that the points of the
inaugural address censurcd by tht
Georgia Convention are held by Mr.
Buchanan as the true doctrine, ant
that the policy Of Gov. Walker is thu
policy Of the President. In relation
TO those resolutions, the New Yorl
Herald says:
What does this signify?-the begin
ing of war BY the Southern ultra:
AGAINST the administration? Yes;
means open war. The secession faction
of Georgia and Of the whole South
chagrined at the appointment OF sucl
conservative anti-sec ssionists as Cass
Cobb and others, are bent on revenge
