TRusT A BoY.-During the session
Fo Of an Episcopal convention in Boston,
the bishop OF Louisiana, in crossing the
Common met boy whose face he fan

said no. ''Are you good boy :" The
little fellow scratched has head and re,

answer inspired the bishop with conf.

On his return TO the hotel the bishop:
friend laughed OF him for his credulity
telling him that he would never see The
boy or bundle or the money again; bul
in half an hour the young chap rriurned
bringing the bundle and a receipted bll

And ''all right" il was made, and nc

TO an audience or about one hundred. Tne
threatened riot cid not take place beyond
continuous volIey OF stones for one and
half hours at the lecturc-roon, Kidding the
windows. No other damage was done, and
nobody was hurt.
Shortly after midnight the mob advanced
up Queen street and attacked CosgroVe.s
Tavern. The crowd inside answered with
revolyers, and the rioters returned nre. a
hundred shots were exchanged here, ana
stones poured into the hotel until the VIM
dow-sashes and furniture were completely
demolished. The police. ninety strong,
charged the mob. and welded their Datons
with great vigor. Four men were shot
here. and one young Protestant named
james Clcec, it is feared, was fatally
wounded. In the mean time another MOB,
one thousand strong. opened fire with
stones upon Colours Tavern, further
up Queen street, where Rosa was De,
lieYed to be Iecturing. Revolyers were used
here, but the police, lighting with matchcss
luck against enormous odds, cleared the
streets. Rosa was driven out OF town ut
II O'Clock Policeman Worth was struck
on the temple with = stone and Knocked
senseless. All OF his comrades were more
or less injured. Probably one hundred and
fifty rioters were injured with slaves and
police batons. The doctors Offices are
crowded with the wounded, though as a
rule the injured are taken away to avoid ar
rest. Hundreds OF roughs are still congre-
gated in the lanes and back streets, and the
notice are parading in force.

Extract OF letter from Warrenton:

eve had quite breeze in politics here
last Saturday afternoon. The morning
paper-Ihe True Inder-contained mys-
terious call for meeting OF the ladies at
the Town Hall at O'clock p. NJ. AS the
fair creatures did not know what il meant
their curiosity took many of them to the
meeting. Your correspondent peeped in.
what a sightl An audience of women.
the best Of the town-with asprinkling of
men, discussing the public. debt and re-
solving that it should be paid. They may
not raise much money, but they will raise
the the wind, and make the men see that they
are terribly in earnest about meeting Vir-
ginia's Liabilities and maintaining her. honor.
The assembly had none OF the characteris-
tics of woman's-rights convention, but
was delicate and igniied-composed, as it
was, of the first and best ladies of our very
refined community. What they did will
probably be reported to you by another
hand. Yours, WoLsEY."

The Texas Pacific.

The friends of the TeXas-Pacitic railway
in Washington were much gratided ycstcr-
day by report OF the Senate committee,
through their chairman, Mr.. MATTHEWS, in
favor OF the TeXas-Pacitic railway. The
committee recommended that it should be
passed. At the same time there was re-
port of bill relative to the Southern Pacific
without any recommendation at all, which
was very significant. We trust that the iDdi-
cations are reliable, and that Congress cannot
be brought to favor the establishment OF the
monstrous monopoly of giving the control
OF the two great trans-continental lines to
one corporation: that OF the Central and
Union Pacific railways.
