THE NEWPORT BROTHERS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SCENE- DES7'K UCTON~ q r
THEIR CABINET
The Davenport Brothers were moDoeo
at Liverpool, England, on tho lotn ulc-
mo. The Post Of that city says:
1.-THE audience elected Mr.. Cumm'ns
and Mr.. Bulley as the committee to tie
the brothers. The Davenports objected
at FIRST, but ultimately agreed. !ra "a
venport, who wriggled and twisted :
good deal during the operation. ana ~

DR.. Ferguson. Mr.. Cummins shrugged
his shoulders and walked away, while
DR.. Ferguson Immediately stepped up,
and instantaneously Ira Davenport stood
free. He ct once created large sensa-
ton by opposing the back Of his hand

extreme, sud although Il W. hardly
explicabls how 1 rope could produce !
wound from which the blood would thus
copiously flow, the tables for the me-
mont seemed to be turned upon the gen.
tlemen whose brutality had been so
strongly animated upon. Mr.. Ira Daven-
port hastily, and with an indignant OK
preesio Of countenance. left the stage,
followed by his brother.
"Mr. Cummins then addressed the
audience, nearly in these words: ladies
and gentlemen, you have seen blood up. n
the hand of the person who has Just lett
this platform. That blood was caused
6y Dr. Ferguson in cutting the rope
Upon this, an immense shout of mingled
triumph and indignation arose from the
audience, whose sympathies, it was at
once evident, had scarcely wavered, even
during the sensation incident they had
just witnessed. In the noise which en-
sued, DR.. Ferguson's explanation was to
US inaudible. Mr.. Cummins was heard
to declare that if any medical man would
certify that the wound had not been pro-
duced as he had stated, he would give
five pounds to any Liverpool charity.
1.-The audience now began to take mat
tiers into their own hands. One gentle
man led the way, and several others
scrambled over the footlights on the
platform, with the view, apparently, of
demanding their money Of DR.. Ferguson.
1t is due TO Messrs. Hulley and Cum
minis to say that they did their utmost
to keep the crowd back, and to protect
DR.: Furguson and Leighton, who were
still on the stage. The numbers, how
ever, were too great for resistance to
avail !; and the next thing witnessed was
the overthrow of the cabinet, DR.. Fer
guson being pushed backwards into it.
He Immediately rose, but as Immediately
retreated, and we are informed that he,
the Davenports and Mr.. Fay were out of
the building almost as soon as DR.. Fer
guson was off the stage. Shortly after
wards Mr.. HUXLEY was borne from the
room on the shoulders OF an admiring
throng.
1.-The crowd on the platform at once
proceeded to demolish the cabinet, and
DR.. Ferguson's much-ridiculed 'struc-
ture' will never again battle the scrutiny
or beguile the credulity of British au-
dience. The scene during the smashing
and distribution of the fragments of the
cabinet was very exciting. Pieces were
thrown up into the galleries, and the &C.
cupsnts of that part of the hall busily
wed with those in the body in scram-
bling for the spoils, while many resorted,
probably as relief to their excitement,
to the exhilarating occupation of letting
down from the galleries on
to the stage. One person only fell
into the hands of the police upon
charge Of breaking one of the caryatides
by which the gallery is supported. A
portion of the right arm Of the figure
was knocked off by the young man
placing his hand upon it as he dropped
from. the gallery. The proceedings,
though turbulent, were exceedingly
good Lumored, and they were enlivened
by few burlesquo addresses, delivered
from the platform to those in the body
Of the hall. In the meantime, some
thirty policemen had arrived they occu-
pied the stage, and the hall was shortly
afterwards cleared"

WASHINGTON, April 8.
The Richmond Wing OF Thursday evening
says:
"The transition from enormous prices and
deprecated currency to reasonable rates and
real money has come SO suddenly upon the
citizens that it will be some time before thew
can realize the change. Butter that was
scarce at 8 IS per pound, is now plentiful at so
a go cents. Eggs that were hid away at $25
per dozen, came out readily at 80 cents, and
other commodities are at an equal rate.
During the evacuation OF the city $50 odd
convicts managed to escape from the peniten-
tiary, but on Thursday over 100 of them were
reeaptured and returned to the institution.
Military Governor Shepley has authorized
the detail OF coloFed men to clear away the
ruins OF the great fire so as to expose the
broken gas pipes with the view of repairing
them and speedily furnishing gas light to the
citizens.
Suffers stores are springing up all over the
city, and old times are being revived by the
sight OF substantials and Injuries enjoyed be-
fore the war.
A mail has been made up daily at the capt.
tai, closing at o'clock A. NJ. A northern
mail returns ip the evening,
Four detective officers OF the rebel govern
ment have been arrested, with Wiley, the
turnkey OF Castle Thunder, and Fred Shaffer,
the Confederate bread commissioner. They
have all been committed to Libby Prison.
NEW YORK. April 8.
The Times dispatch says the Southside
railroad is being repaired at the rate of six or
seven miles per day, and is already used to
carry supplies to our army In the field.
The Times Richmond correspondent says
the destruction Of property there by fire will
amount to $l0,O00,000. 1t is positively assert
ed that Breckenridge gave the order to start
the fire.
