MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.

Row.-About o'clock last evening a row
occurred in house in Union street, occupied
by Michael Riley. Judging from the appear
ance of some of the parties that we saw at
the Police Office, we should think that the
knife was used rather freely. Michael Riley,
Michael Kilbride and William Riley received
some severe wounds. Kilbride leases the ten
ement and underlets to Riley. His story is,
that he went into the house last evening and
was invited to sit down. Subsequently some
dispute arose about feeding horses, and he
was ordered out of the house. Not moving
quite so speedily as the other parties wished,
he was hit on the head with chair A gen.
eral melee ensued between Kilbride, the two
Rileys, McMann and Rooney, which continued
until the police interfered. Riley's story is
that Kilbride went TO the house quite drunk
and kicked up row, and that he was entire
ly to blame.
Officers Montgomery, Williams, Pickett and
Mitchell interfered and arrested some of the
parties concerned in the affray, and conveyed
them to the lookup.

PARoLED.-We were this morning gratifled
by visit from Capt. Oliver Z. Robie, of the
4th Ohio Cavalry. Capt. II. was taken at the
skirmish at Lexington, on the 18th, when,
with 1870 men, he was opposed TO nearly 5000
men under the rebel Morgan. A small de-
tachment from the 4th and 3d Cavalry, amount
ing in all to $40 men, were at Lexington at
the time referred to, all but 100 of them being
engaged on picket or provost duty, when they
heard of the arrival of the rebel force in the
proximity. They went out to attack them,
and found them in such force that a prolonged
resistance was foolish. After fighting as long
as they could, they capitulated and were taken
prisoners. The entire number captured and
paroled was l9S Capt. Robie was deprived
of his horse, favorite animal. which has borne
him since the beginning of the campaign, and
his pistols. He leaves this evening for Camp

SERMON BY REV. DR.. BoswoRTH.-Yes-
terday Rev. DR.. Bosworth, by request, repeated
his thanksgiving sermon, to very large audi
ence, in Free Street Church. We had the
pleasure of listening TO it,and regard it among
the best pulpit productions that have been
suggested or drawn out by our great national
struggle. 1t was delivered with an honest
earnestness, and an unassumed, quiet and yet
forcible eloquence, that gave evidence of the
sound head, the true heart and the christian
purpose which had combined to produce it.
We refrain from further remarks, as at our
personal request, DIR. b. has placed the manu-
script at our disposal, and as soon as we get
comfortably through with the Message-say
Thursday or Friday-we intend to lay it be-
fore our readers. 1t will be perused with sat
isiaction.

FUNERAL DIscoURsE.-Rev. Mr.. Lowering
delivered very appropriate sermon yesterday
morning at Park Street Church, occasioncd
by the two recent sudden deaths in his parish,
of Nathaniel Warren and Mrs. Elizabeth jew
ett. He spoke of the demise of the latter,
more particularly on account of his personal
acquaintance with her, declaring that her
death, besides being great private and family
afiiction, was also public loss. She died,
said he, as much martyr in the service of the
country as any soldier in the army on the
battlefield. Her last patriotic service imme-
diately before being taken down with fever,
was an effort to obtain transportation for sick
soldiers to their homes. Her end was peace.

The rebels continue TO raise earthworks

Early yesterday morning large number of
rebel cavalry, said to be Hampton's legion,
crossed the river some distance above here.
and, evading our pickets, made a descent upon

Some camps of the enemy visible yesterday
disappeared last night. They probably have
retired to the valley behind the range of hills
in the rear of Fredericksburg. New rebel
earthworks almost daily make their appearance
and the range in the rear of the towns crown
ed almost continuously with redoubts and rife
pits. Some OF our batteries, whose guns bear
directly upon the town, have recently been
protected by earthworks.
Five gunboats are reported TO have advanced
up the Rappahannock opposite King George
Court House. The right wing of the enemy
extends nearly to that point but at some dis
tance from the river. A few shots were thrown
over the river to-day by one of our left wing
batteries, probably to try the range of the
guns.
Gen. Burnside has returned to camp from

Admiral Milne in pursuit of the Alabama
Mr.. Seward on French Mediation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.
A Washington dispatch says Admiral Milne,
OF the British North American squadron, is
in pursuit OF the Alabama.
Secretary Seward looks upon the proposed
mediation of the French Government as an
act of friendly power, simply to secure an
interview between the beligerents without
prejudice to what they may do afterward, and
that TO prevent continuance of the war, TO
exercise at least pressure on either party, di-
rectly or indirectly, is in no manner expressed
or limited at in the document.
There is reason to believe that Gen. Grants
recent order, providing for the purchase and
sale Of cotton for the benefit of the Govern
ment, foreshadows the policy of the admins
tration on that subject.
dispatch from Gen. Sigels headquarters
says jackson passed through Salem, White
Plains and Warrentoi, probably on his way to
join Lee. The enemy are in sight from Aldie,
