SHAMEEUL.-A very shameful affair occurred in
Davenport; on the levee, yesterday, in PLAIN eight
ola large load of passengers the ferry boat and
no attempt was made by the Davenport police to
stopit.
But we cease to be surprised at anything which
occurs IN city whose officers attempt to kdnap
innocent women city where the Sabbath day is
desecrated by open saloons, billiard and card
rooms, ten pin alleys and all sorts OF wickedness
and where radical Rock Island republicans ge,
drank on Sundays and go about kissing he nigges.
We are not surprised at anything we hear from
such place.
For further particulars enquire of our city auth
critics who attended the trial of the new steam
FIRE engine that day.

ScANDALoUs.-Th lately elected radical re
publ can police magistrate, in this city, was
recently, on Sunday, at disreputable house
on the Camden road, got into fight and got
bloody face. He has also been. several
times, of late, intoxicated ON the streets and
in saloons, at late hours of the night. It
gives US no pleasure to say these things, but
it is our duty to say them, and to further say
that ahy man who does such things is not fit
for the Office he holds and ought to resign, or
be removed. How can the vicious be re-
strained, and brawling, drunken brutes and
rowdies kept within the bounds of decency
when police magistrate sets such examples?

CHRONOLOGICAL NorEs.--To-day is the anniyer-
sary of the death among others of three very
noted historical personages: Mr.. Spencer Perci-
val, William Pitt and Nine. Recamier. The gen
eral facts Of the assassination of the first named,
the prime minister of the day, by Bellingham, are
well known, or readily accessible; but it is con
nected with a wonderful dream story. gentle
man named Williams, living down in Cornwall
dreamed three consecutive times on the night fol
lowing the assassination, of all the circumstances
attending the tragedy-inoluding places-whici
were all unknown to him, and of which it is con
tended he could not within that space of time hav
been made aware by any ordinary means Sucl
is the ground on which the dream is quoted il
standard works as an inexplicable phenomenon
Let those receive it who maya note about it
at least worthy of place in the column of Fact
and Fietions.
The Book of Days, to which reference is mad
for these notes, appends paragraph in which
points out that the story on which Cowper base
his John GiIpin, is to be found in Peregrir

ARRIVAL OF Mrs, JEFFERSON DAVIS AND CHILD
AT FORTRESS MoNRoE-Her Admission ifl50 The
Fort, eto.-Our intelligent Fortress Monroe cor
respondent, under date of May Sd, gives the fol
lowing interesting letter:
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, accompanied by two SER
wants and her youngest child, an interesting little
girl, about two years old, arrived here at an early
hour this morning on the steamer Adelaide, from
Baltimore, Nd She proceeded to the Hygeia
Hotel, which stands a few feet from where the
steamers land, and remained in the sitting room
for several hours. After eating breakfast she was
called upon by Major Muhlenburg, Of the Fifth
United States Artillery, and subsequently by
Lieut.. Fessenden, of the same regiment and an
aid on Gen. Miles, staff, who conveyed to her a
message from the general, and escorted her into
the Fortress.
What transpired after Mrs. Davis entered the
Fortress, is, of course, unknown just at present.
Immediately on receiving the gratifying ntei
gence Of the permission allowed her by President
johnson to visit her husband here, Mrs. Davis com
menced getting ready for her journey, and LEFT
Montreal where she has been stopping for severa
weeks passed, on last Monday afternoon at {
o'clock. She made no stoppage on the way, bu
came through direct, and made very quick travel
ing time.
The conditions Of her visit and the privileges
which will be extended to her during its con
tinuance are subjects Of considerable speculation
Should she remain here any length Of time she
will probably make her home at the residence o.
DR.. Cooper, post surgeon, near the Fortress.
AS before remarked, Mrs Davis is accompanied
by only one of her children--the youngest of the
family, Two of her children remain in Montreal
attending school, and the third is in the hands o
friends Norfolk Yirginian.
