The firing of cannon in the streeg had been discontinued on account of its bad effects on the sick, but the burning of tar was continued. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, says, " The officer in charge of St. Patrick's Cemetery informed me that they have fights there every day over the dead. Many of the Irish pull up the pickets of the fence and bury their dead, without a certificate or any account taken of them. Cattle had got into the cemetery and trampled upon and in the new-made graves. At Potter's Field they bury in trenches, dug from two to two-and-a-half feet deep. A deputation of citizens from Baton Rouge has arrived to assist in nursing the patients." A disturbance had occurred at Niagara Falls. It appears that the Deputy Marshal proceeded to arrest a coloured waiter, named Sneed, alias Watson, on the charge of having killed a Mr. Jones, at Savannah, four years ago, and for whom a reward of $1,500 had been offered. The other waiters, believing that their companion was arrested as a fugitive slave, rescued him from the officers, and, after a severe fight, started with him for the Canadian shore. The ferryman, who had some misgivings about the matter, rowed out into the stream, and then came back to ascertain the nature of the negro's offence, Upon being informed that it was murder, he promptly returned the man to the American shore. By this time upwards of two hundred negroes had assembled at the landing, fully prepared for a desperate resistance. The officers, however, called to their assistance some three hundred Irish railroad labourers. A regular pitched battle ensued ; the negroes were put to flight, and the prisoner was conducted by the officers to Buffalo, where he will be detained till the necessary papers are received for his transfer to the south._  tiple,4lf 1 A married eetter",os after living t„0.0 to Eeibe ' erns for some time, resolve. few days ''il At "40 ere They sold off all their furniture, but finclingf,osleti ivatli it realised was not very important, they Pr°'earb' ni ef. mit suicide, and yesterday they went at an vielloolift the Canal St. Martin to execute the design' ;f,,al°;o °AP leaped in first, but after a while, being a entlicelip 1,q..) he raised his head above water, and Pearn- 1;0;1' standing quietly on the bank watching n,,i: cone{ 0 abusing her, and said that, according to tn`'efet,r tiller she ought to drown herself.
