Ing Sack % und Destroyed.
We learn from the Peoria Transcript that
as buggy containing gentleman and lady,
was on its way to the Fair Grounds near the
city on Thursday last, and while hating on
the bluff before reaching the inclosure, it was
from some unknown cause attacked by seve-
raj drunken prostitutes from tho notorious
McGinnity House, the lady rudely treated,
and portion OF her garments torn from her
person, in spite OF tho exertions and resist
ance OF her protector. As soon a. the UNI
provoked and brutal attack became known
on theoFair Grounds, party of officers with
number OF citixens, proceeded to the house,
and after much trouble and some resistance
succeeded in arresting Eve Of the inmates,
who were lodged in the calaboosc.
The story Of the outrage having been cir
cnlated generally through the city, the peo-
pie became highly exasperated, and early in
the morning large party, including some Of
the oldest citizens, proceeded to the build.
ing, which was built Of brick, two stories in
height, and after deliberately moving out the
goods and furniture, set it on fire and leveled
the wallis with the ground. II was ono OF
the vilest dens in the city, and the majority
Of the people are rsjoiced At ito destruction,
though many lament the mob violence with
which it was effected.

To the associated Press:
Since our arrival here on the morning Of
the 9Th have been constantly receiving tele-
graphic messages asking for full particulars
in regard to laying the cable, to which it is
impossible for me to reply, as every moment
of my time will be occupied while remain
here. have handed to Mr.. Mckay. Super
intendens of the New York, Newfoundland
and London Telegraph lines, my daily jour
nal, and given him full permission to send
from the same any extracts that he might
think Of any interest to the public, and az
pecially those portions which will reply to
the communications have received.
{Signea,) CrRus w. FIELD.
PoRr Hoop, Cape Breton, Aug. I.
Early last evening the line between this
place and Boddeck ceased to work and has
just been repaired, and we now learn that the
line 10 also down east Of Boddeck, and be.
tween there and Ashy Bay, which is the point
where the Newfoundland cable il connected
with the land line. Active measures have
been taken to put the line in order, but this
may occupy all day and to- morrow, owing to
the distance between the telegraph stations
and the nature of the country to be ira.
versed. Numerous communications passed
to and from Trinity Bay Yesterday before the
linr went down here, and there Is not the
slightest reason whatever to doubt the truth
and genuiDeness OF the dispatches from MIR.
Field as published yesterday, and the rnmors
OF deception, 40, have not the slightest
foundation. So far as we know or believe
the most perfect reliance is being felt here
and Mt every station upon the lines that the
Atlantic cable had been successfully laid be-
tween Ireland md Newfoundland, but there
is no good reason to believe that the cable
can be got in readiness to convey messages
before next week, and by that time win be
put in order md kept so.
TRINITY BAY, N. F., Aug. Z.
Thecomplete success Of the Atlantic cable
10 placed beyond all doubt. Signals are now
being made through the whole extent OF the
cable, but it is unlikely that the cable will be
opened for business for several days or per-
haps week, rs this electricians will require
time for series of experiments with their
recording instruments. Due notice will be
given for the opening Of the line for bust
ness.

Trustees Of this institution on the 4th and
9th days Of this month 10 reconsider the
action taken by the Board in April last, in
suspending the operation Of the institution
for one year, and changing the course OF
studies by limiting the instructions TO BIO Civ
en- to the applied sciences, etc.
We are informed that she late meeting of
the Board reversed their action in April last
and restored the classical studies, making
the whole course as comprehensive as the
74th section of the school law requires, but
permitting student TO take select partial
course IL desired.
They are also determined TO continue in
operation the Normal department. Of the in
stitution, and upon the question Of reopen
ing the University proper this fall, the vote
stood 6 to 6, and of course WAS lost, there
being no majority but it will be opened in
September, 1859, under new auspices and
with a superior corps Of Professors.
