AFFRAY IN THE CoNTINENTAL HOTEL, PHLADEL-
PHIA.-About half-past twelve o'clock Thursday
night, after the house had closed business, three
men rushed into the Continental Hotel Philadel-
phia, and demanded admittancc to the bar-room
and attempted to gain admission by force. Being
foied, they returned to the front of the Office
when two of them seized James Murphy, night
watchman, and struck him in the face, and then
followed the general melee. They were immediate
ly hOored and secured by the clerks and night po-
lice OF the hotel, and when they cried "enoug" and
promised to be quiet, they allowed to get up;
but no sooner were they their feet, when one of
them (named Skelly) drew his knife and struck
Thomas White (secOnd head waiter) in the groin
and lower part Of the abdomen, cutting some three
or four inches. His would is in a very dangerous
place, AID time will only tell the result Then the
same Skelly struck one of the office clerks in the
rear of the upper part of the thigh, causing deep
to the lock-up.

IMPORTANT FROM ARIZoNA-Wrs. Page stW AIire.
Tucson, April l, lS6O.-Mrs Page is still alive, is
no longer with the Indians, and she has passed
through actual trials, hardships and difficulties,
during the last fortnight, exceeding in thrilling in
terest any Of the most highly y-wrought pages of
fiction. Last night messenger arrived here from
the Santa Rita Pinery, with letter for Mr.. John
Page, stating that his wife had come in alive after
enduring almost incredible trials. Mr.. Page i'm
mediately set out, accompanied by a physician,
and everything possible to be done for her relief
will be done. 1t seems, from what we can learn,
that Mrs. Page, probably the day following her
seizure by the Indians, finding that her friends
the trail, refused to go on, and her savage
masters lanced her in several places, and left her
for dead. After some time she revived to find her
self weak from loss of blood, with wounds still
open, fOotsore from her previous trials, without
food, and miles from any habtation. What posi-
tion for young woman Of eighteen summers-a
bride of two months-whOse life hitherto had been
all sunshine? Through all these trials Mrs. Page
struggled for two weeks and dragged her enact
ated form by degrees toward the home from which
she had lately been rudely torn by the ruthless
savages. No one suspected her presence in the
mountain, and those who were looking for intelli-
gence from her, thought she was miles away amid
the haunts of the red man. How she was enabled
to suffer so much and reach home at length is in
comprehensive.

THE Arctic EXPEDITION IN ENGLAND.-The follow
ing extract from letter written by American
gentleman to Mr.. Henry Grinnel, dated London
March q, lSGO and read at recent meeting of the
New \ ork Geographical Society, will have special
interest at this time Dr. Hayes expedition has at
tracted attention here among Arctic officers and
others. Since the Americans have given to the
world that they preparing an expedition to the
Pole, no one here would for moment think of in
terfering or competing for that honor; but
from what can learn from remarks that have
dropped from many persons, Arctic officers and
scientific men, when the Americans reliuquish the
attempt, the opportunity will be Immediately
seized upon by English explorers. There is no
doubt that the subject is beginning to attract the
attention of Arctic men here, and if Hayes should
not go forth, think he may safely claim the credit
of having stimulated others to take the matter up.
COFFEE rs 4 MENTAL STMULANr.-Schiller, dur
ing his hours of composition, kept at his side
bottle of champagne or RheniSh wine or a cup OF
strong coffee. Horace Walpoc wrote usually from
10 10 o'clock at night always having strong cot
fee by him. Sir William Jones drank great deal
Of coffee to support him in his nOctural studies.
Baron de Grimm states that Noltairc, Il few days
prior to his DEATH with his characteristic activity
and enthusiasm attended the rehearsal of the
Academy, and insisted on the production of n new
and important edition of their dictionary. To this
project many objections were started, which he re-
solved to obviate in an elaborate discourse. To
strengthen himself for the task he swallowed a
prodigious quantity of strong coffee, and then
tinued to work for upward OF twelve hours without
intermission. This Independent effort brought on
an inflammation of the bladder For the purpose
Of relieving the pain he swallowed, with his usual
impatience, Il large quantity of laudanum. The
consequence was that he fell into Il lcthargy from
which he never entirely recovered.

THE MIRAMoN PROTEsr.-The protest of General
Miramon against the seizure of his two steamers,
by Commander Jarvis, U. S. N, says the New
York cypress, is the best illustration of ''the
height of impudence" we have lately encountered.
The document is addressed "to the Secretary of
State of the United States of America" and pur-
ports to be signed by ''the Minister pro tenn. of
Foreign Affairs for the Republic of Mexico"-
When American citizens were murdered and their
property confscated, last SUMNER under the iuris-
diction of this same General Miramon, we remem-
Der, the only reply to the application of the
United States authorities for redress was,
that he could hold no intercourse with u.s.
Having recognized Juarez as President de fdcto he
said we ought not to hold him (Miramon) accoun t.
able for whatever misfortunes might befal our
countrymen in Mexico. Now, when our bull hap
pens to have accidentally gored his OK, have a
formal protest, almost as long as Presidents 5
message, demonstrating against the seizure of the
steamers, and de manding their restitution forth
with. Our countrymen have suffered too severely
by the depredations of the Church faction on land,
to give the same faction opportunity to commit
Ike depredations at sea. Sef-protection, General
Mramon ought to know, is the first law of nations;
and if that law operates with some severity upon
him, in this case, really do not see how it can
be helped.

AN AMERICAN PoPE, &C.-The follow ing is from
New York letter writer, who is thoroughly an
reliable, and our readers are, therefore, at liberty
to Judge of the item as they please
'Archbishop Hughes will be made Cardinal in
October, 1850 He will be the first American Car
dinal. Had Bishop England, of South Carolina,
lived he would have been Cardinal.
"In making Archbishop Hughes Cardinal the
Pope is actuated by motives that lie deep in his
bosom. 1t is seriously whispered that if he is de-
prived of political power at Rome he will wipe
from his sandals the dust of that city and remove
the Holy See to some place in the West-say ST.
Louis, Missouri-where his agents are said to have
secured immense quantities of land. The Pope
may not live to carry out the plan hence he wishes
successor who has energy, genius, will, and
he has determined shall be Archbishop Hughes
To become Pope he must first become Cardinal, and
this will be accomplished this year, Wash. Con-

THE Hon. WIN. GIRoD Convicted OF FORGERY AND
SENT TO PRIsoN FOR THREE YEARs.-The intelligence
received Thursday by the Africa, from Kings

that is the trial and conviction of the Hon. VIM.
GirOd, editor and nominal proprietor of the Colo
NAL Standard and Jamaica Despotch for forging
on Jonas Hart, and the Hon. Wn Hossack, of the
Executive Committee and Custos of st. George
The is about the most painful that it is posi-
BILE to conceive. Mr.. Girod is one of the most
talented and distinguished men which Jamaica has
ever produced. As classical scholar, a linguist
and periodical writer-to say nothing of his egis
lative ability and journalistic talent, known and
appreciated in England as well as in Jamaica-he
stood without rival.
