Further Particulars OF the Mobile
RIM

NEW YORK, May 16.-The Herald's
special says Of the Mobile riot: The
leader, David Files, who fired the first
shot at Chief of Police Carpent, is the
only one arrested. 1t is said he aimed
directly at Judge Kelly. He was held
to bail this morning in five thousand
dollars, by Mayor Withers, but has not
yet obtained bonds. 1t is certain that
the attack on the negroes was COM
menced for a considerable distance
from the scene of action, as many were
shot five or six squares off. Shots were
fined from the roof of a store kept by
Mr.. Wolf, directly opposite the
stand. and from the windows
|. of house kept by man named
Brook, at the corner of Royal street. 1t
is also believed here that shots were
also fired from the side window of Jno.
Forsyth's house, the editor
of the Register, which over
looked the stand. cannot vouch
for the truth of this, as sat in front of
the window and the ball must have
struck behind me.
The excitement to-day is so great that
the investigation is postponed and the
Mayor and Col. Shepherd will make a
riged inquiry into the matter.
The United States troops are still
posted throughout the city, a squad &C.
cupying the front of the battle house.

of drafts drawn by the Belmonts on the
Rothschilds. The British government
embarRoed the bills and directed the
Rothschild's not TO pay them which was
done.
A bill drawn for two thousand
pounds, to be used for the defence of
the prisoners, with others, when refused
payment in London was returned to

able to recover the gold from the Bel
monts.

with joy, the morning in which he is en-

pure air and ramble among green fields;
the country lad is all wonder and admira-

CHARLES DICKENS.

Mr.. Charles Dickcns--or rather we
should say, Dickens, for SO the public
best knows him. just as it persists in
saying Bacon. instead Of Lord Verulam--
arrived at this port last evening. He
will receive hearty reception, which he
deserves, if any Englishman does If the
young man who may one day bc King Of
England was entitled, on this bare expec-
fancy, to al ovation throughout this
country wherever he went. from Portland
to Richmond. he who for nearly thirty
years has welded the sccptre of genius
over all hearts wherever the English
tongue is spoken, is surely worthy of
heartier if not more ceremonious recogni-
tion. If John Bright himself would be
deserving of the most grateful attentions
at the hands of the people whose cause be
has fought through good and evil report,
then not less deserving is Charles Dickens,
WHO, in his appointed way, has delighted
and strengthened and improved millions
Of our country men. ..
But while our people have this lively
feeling Of personal interest and gratitude
iu favor of Mr.. Dickens, they are not
called upon to express it in any demon
stratiye manner. There will he no pro-
cessions. and probably no public gather
ings, except such as Mr.. Dickens himself
shall appoint in the discharge Of his
duties. He comes over here for specific
purpose, in the capacity of an artist of an
unique order. Publicly he wishes to be
treated as such. II his readings should
not be found worth the money charged
for them, he would probably desire that
all who thought SO should stay away.
This is in entire accordance with the
noble principles Of self-respect which he
avowcd in his farewell speech in London,
and which are known to have character
lied his career thus far. But we have no
misgivings Of the fact that his entertain
meuts arc entitled to the splendid reputa-
tion they have won in his own country.
and that bis tour here might, proftably
to him and pleasantly to our people, be
greatly extended beyond the time at his
disposal. But as it is he will be eagerly
heard in every part Of the land, and his
auditors will have no difficulty in convey
ing to him through manifold channels .
proper sense Of their appreciation and
regard.--Boiton Journal.

tube made like a syphon, driven into the
vent of barrel Of wine, or cider, and the
other inserted into vial Of water, will
prevent the air from entering the barrel,
while the gas escapes through the water.
Make the barrel otherwise tight. When
the cider or wine in the barrel is done
working, tho water in the bottle will
cease bubbling. 1t requires no dlling up.

DocToRs DIFFER.-Rev. Newman Hall,
in temperance lecture in New York some
time ago, said, in alluding to drunken
ness in England and America .
"In America he had seen but three or
four drunken men; in England he saw
as many nightly. He blushcd and griev-
ed over the drunkenness and vice of Great
Britain, and he should be grieved to see
any nation brought down to the level of
England in this respect
In Grace Church, Providence, last Sun
day nigt, Bishop Clark of Rhode Island
said on the same subject:
"In the five months l have been absent,
] have never seen in Great Britain or
Europe, four men or single woman in
toxicated. There is more drunkenness in
the United States than is to be found
among the same number Of people any
where else on the face Of the sarth."'

BURMESE NIILKRiEN.

1t is very difficult to get cows milk in
Burmah, and IN consequence, butter-the
reason of which is that Burmese as forbid.
den By their religion to take away the
life of any animal; therefore they dare
not kill the calves. and the calves drink
all the milk. They joyfully seize the
carcase, however, of any creature that has
died. "a mortality having occurred
amongst our poultry says late resident
in Rangoon, "the coolies had great
jubilee, and carried off dead ducks and
geese whenever they went home. Hear.
ing this, asked on what they fed those
infants who should be deprived of theft
natural food, and the answer was, toad ii
snake broth, which creatures, not being
considered sacred. are not, ! suppose, ils-
cluded in the category Of their forbidden
dainties. Before we had lived there long
we had procured cows, and had our own
milk and butter; but prior to that occur
renee we were dependent on the native
milkman. and very much astonished I
was at seeing him come up the first morn
ing after our arrival. On his head he
carried brass vessel full Of what at.;
peared to be eggs, but which proved to 'ba

stopping, he had the stopcrless nozzlcs Of
two lack bottles of the milk itself, we'll
diluted with waiter. We had+to endure
both milk and butter until we procured
some of our own; but It was reilly endur.-

the natives marriage to increase their stote
