4 Blot ia Canada.


They have hsa riot political one, in
Canada. Al CoboGrg the liSeTals held fss,i-
val, and IL was a magnificent affair. One
CCCkbuTn V as speaking, when, says the Globe:
The gas was suddenly extinguishrd, and a
shower Of stones and bFiekoats came smash
ing through the windows fr-atiDg The street
Tais OF course caused some confusion inside,
bat, at the request OF Mr.. Cockburn, all re-
NAMED seated until candles were brought il,
in the course Of minute or tgo. The mem
bers OF the Instrumental band being stationed
on the platform at the end Of the hail nearest
the street were q The most imminent danger
from tie stones thrown through he windows,
bat they lost 10 time in securing Cor themselves
safe positions by standing against the wall in
the spaces between The wiGdows. The angle
at which the stoas8 had been thrown at the
windows frem the level Of the street was such
tnat they did not reach The general company
seated at the tables. at least we did not hear
Of any being hurt BY them,
Lights were brought in, and the proceedings
preceded with, but a second interruption oc-
CURED as follows:
The ministerial rowdiss, who, It was said,
numbered about three hundred, came into the
outside ball, and endeayorcd to force open the
doors BY pushing and DatteTing them wi b their
clubs. 1his was found to be insolence above
endurance, and number OF ,ntlemen Inside
I
cleared the building OF the coward!y ruGians,
but not before sew raj hard blows were cE-
changed. Mr.. mcCGTty, a venerable Old gen
tlsman, nearly seventy years II age, was one
of the first VINO rushed out and received on has
head, from one Of the S.daeY Smith gang, a
murdeTOus blow with a bludgeoa.
When be Te entered The room, blood was low-
Ing down his face IN streams. Some other
members OF the company also received ugly
blows in the melee. The Hoa- Mdleom Cam
eron, who had gone oat to exert bis Influence
for the rest0ra ton of order, was kicked severe
~ 10 the abdomen by one Of tae Sidney Smith
bsfty. and during the remainder "a the evening
was unable % resume hSs place at the table.
After the rowdies had been expelled from The
building, Dr. Connor went en- with his speech.
and during the remainder Of the proceedings
there was no further interruption, except an
occasional howl Outside, and the hufling, now
and then, OF a stone through one OF the win
dows in the fT0Bt and side OF the hail.
CoTrcN AND CANE IN RArIDEs.-The Al
exandria Denocrct, Of the 15.b, reports fine
weather during the past week, and adds
/ Our planters have done good weeks pick
/ ing. the cotton is nearly all open, and if they
/ can have moEth's dry weather, the crop may
/ turn out as much yield as last year. The cane
is still in the best possible good condition.
VkLUATioN OF BosToN.-The assessors re
/ turns Of the city OF Boston give a total of
/ S275, ,28l 200 taxable property, decrease of
million and half from last year. The value

! than last year.
The P0ToshC. 1t has been ably remarked
that "we are always on the eve Of great
events" which never come to pass; bat, If we
can read Alright the sigus of the times, the tide
Of war un The banks OF the Potomac will Soon
! break through the barriers which have re
| strained IL for some time past, and ere long
great victory will be won, OF a battle lost
Richmond Whig.
