NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The Heralds Bal
timore special says: Great excitement still
prevails, which is not lessened by General
Canby's visit to the city to-day. There are
rumors tonight that the plug-uglies Of old
town are organizing for an attack on Radi-
cal headquarters in West Baltimore street.
The Radicals have made every preparation
for vigorous defense. They have stored an
armory Of revolvers and rifles in the bnild-
ing, and very strong body Of police and
two or three hundred armed boys in blue re-
main within ear shot. There is belief
among the supporters of the Police Com
missioners that the Radicals Of Pennsylva-
MIA are ready to march to their assistance.
Forney's visit to the city, yesterday, has
much to do with this impression. This is
the threatened invasion to which Governor
Swami alluded in his remarks at Annapolis
this morning.

MIXED PROvIDENCEs.

From the Cincinnati Enquiror.l
Rev. CHARLES B. SNYTH, Presbyterian
clergyman of New York, took occasion, on
Sunday last, 10 improve, as it is called, upon
the late wreck Of the Erening Star steamer,
bound from New York to New Orleans, with
a circus company, an opera troupe, and a
body Of lorettes, eighty-seven in number,
on board. The reverend gentleman was in
no doubt that the catastrophe was a special
divine dispensation T; though whether it was
in punishment of the owner, for the unsea-
worthiness of the vessel, or whether il was
an opportunity seized upon to destroy at a
blow so large a number Of the wicked, is a
point upon which he was somewhat mixed.
In order to be safe, therefore, he enlarged,
and called upon his apostolic brethren to en-
large upon the dishonesty of the former, in
forming them that "for the loss of hun
dreds Of helpless women and children,
through their neglect they would be
damned to deeps deeper than the depths of
the ocean in which their victims persisted :"
and then turning upon the victims them
selves, he pronounced the judgment of
SERVED them right" and citing the case of
Sodom, when three righteous men would
have saved the city, added, "And who can
SAY tAAt NA0A AuNANf WNuA0 AA0N laANB UGH
exhibited in like manner had there been
sufficient number Of righteous souls on board
to avert his anger from the wicked ?"
The reverend gentlemen seemed to be
good deal perplexed between his feelings as
a man, and his feelings as a minister-be-
tween spiritual and the oarnal aspect Of the
event. At one time he treated the loss Of
the circus company, the opera troupe, and
the eighty-seven lorsttes as calamity, and
pitched into the ship owners for their "gin-
ger bread vessels" at another time he glo-
ried in il as Divine judgment, which had
crowded 30 manyof the wicked into the same
craft, and sent them to be disposed Of in so
nautical a manner in which case the acts Of
the ship-owners must have been strictly in
accordance with Providential designs. We
confess we have piously tried to read the
lesson Of the event in the official interpre-
tation but all in vain. So polyglot are the
providences Of theclse, that we do not know
whether to be humble or exalted over the
