VIENNA, June 2s~.-Complete anarchy prevails In

been murdered within six weeks. and no efforts
have been made 10 find the murderers. Foreign

New YORK. June 26.-The Irish papers contain
particulars Of terrible riot al q fire in Dublin on
the night Of the 9Th Of June. About il o'clock
that night a fire broke out IN kelly's lumber yard
and store in Thomas street, one Of the most densely
populated parts Of the city. Within an hour after
the fire commenced, from twenty TO thirty thou
sand persons had assembled in the neighborbood
whose object seemed to be the plumber OF the
houses. Soon after the arrival Of the Ere engine
the principal water-pipe burst, when the mob tore
the hose from the hydrant, which they smashed.
Captain Ingraham then had the street torn up and
a steam fire engine put in, which worked IN the
waste water from the main. The fire spread, but
the police were powerless TO maintain order. The
mob tore open the roof Of the house Of Mahoney, a
wine merchant. pillaged his store, and carried
cases Of champagne to the roof. where they drank
so much that come Of them rolled of. The police
men. were stoned. and some Of them completely
disabled. Several priests who tried to check the
disorder were beaten by the mob and the windows
Of their chapels smashed. -Four companies OF
infantry and a troop Of dragons were called out,
and at length restored order. The dremen and
several soldiers were seriously wounded. The
mob threw bricks and stones from the houses upon
the soldiers, and fought them with bludReons.
| Forty-seven rioters were arrested, many badly
wounded.

williamsburg took fire this evening, and was
almost totally destroyed. Loss between $780,
600 and 100000. The Ire originated from a
leak in the still which communicated with the
furnace. The man in charge noticed the oil
trickling into the furnace and went for hose
to extaguish the fire, but before he could do
so the still exploded and the whole building
was soon in flames. The hydrants being
frozen prevented the firemen from playing on
the fire for some time and allowed the flames
to gain ground. By 1l3O the fire was got
under. The feed tank, containing 500 bar
rels of oil was saved.

The closing lecture of our course was by his
Excellency Governor Perham, Wednesday
evening, Jan. %. Subject, "Success and its
Conditions. 1t was pronounced by all who
heard it as one of the ablest and most instruc-
tive lectures ever delivered in town.
The fifth lecture was by Seth L. BIilliken
Esq, of Belfast, Jan. 18th. Subject, "Aris-
tocraey." This lecture also received the
highest commentator from all our people.
We predict for Mr.. Miliken bright future
in the lecture field. He treated his subject
with master skill, showing great knowledge OF
ancient and modern history, in the very best
style Of oratory. We have heard nearly all
the individuals now before the Lyceums of this
country, and Mr.. Milliken has just reason to
contend for place among the very best of
them. Every village in Maine ought to hear
these two lectures.

President Lerdo de Zejada left the capital
on train which was preceded by an ad-
vanced locomotive at Tehuantepec. At the
first station outside the capital, desperadoes
had placed three boulders across the track
but with the exception of breaking the cow
catcher of the first locomotive, no damage

The Vose de Cuba, editorially calls the de-
feat of the United States troops ny the Mo-
docs dishonorable to the arms of the grand
republic, and says that this scandalous war of
Indian determination has lasted longer than
that of the Spaniards against those who wish
to drive them from home and country, and
that the King ought in his next speech to the
Cortes, indicate to the United States how
much the Spanish people are interested in the
proceedings against the poor Indians, and to
suggest as guide the policy of Spain when
conqnering Indians in America, viz: to civil
ize instead of determination.
European journals are advised to send cor
respondents to the Indian territory to learn
the truth.
