ANOTHER MOB IN CANADA.
Montreal, Muy 10, 1840.
An emeute, which is likely to end in fierious
consequences, took place last night.
About mile o'clock a rumor was circulate!
that a radical deputation, which
had arrived from Toronto, with an address
to his Excellency the Governor
/f~~\ 1 __! 1 1 1 A A /VAA -
\Tuuurui, Biguuu uy uouui> i,uuu persons,
was at that moment enjoying itself at the
festive board, together with the ministry
nnd a large number of radical members.
Expecting something worth reporting
might occur, I proceeded to 'JHtus's Hotel,
Great St. James' st., where I distinctly
heard the toasts proposed, and the
boisterous cheers that followed each successively.
By half-past ten o'clock a
crowd had collected in the neighborhood,
numbering about 100 persons. The attempt
now was made to alarm the town
and raise a mob. Accordingly, some fifty
persons proceeded in different directions,
calling out fire ; and a large dinner
bell having been procured from a hotel
near at hand, it waa immediat ily put into
operation. The Small fire bells belonging
to the engine houses also were afterwards
brought into requisition. Eleven
o'clock saw a crowd of about 500 collected
in front of the hotel, evidently bent on
mischief.
The hotel has two entrances, one at
each end, and between these entrances,
in the first flat, lay the room of jollity.
Instructions were given to the people to
rush in two separate bodies, one at each
door. A couple of long planks having
been captured, a rush was made simultaneously
at both doors, and the one at
the west end of the hotel, leading into
the dining room, smnshed open. The
geritlomen within, it would seem, had
beat to quarters; for upon the door burst
ing open, a shower of decanters, wine
glasses, <fec. ?fcc., was hurled amongst the
crowd. And the moment of hesitation
which ?uch an unexpected reception gave
lise to, was seized to close the aoor. Several
persons were dreadfully hurt. Again
the mob rushed at the door; and as mnny
could not employ their strength at the
same time from the street, in consequence
of the narrow entrance, it was for some
doubtful which party would prove strongest?the
ins or outs. The plank, however,
was again brought into requisition,
and the door was obliged to vield against
the repeated batterings. This time, however,
the reception the crowd met with
was much warmer, two pistol shots being
?? 1 - 1
iivu, mm uiio muii wounaea.
U p to this time nut ft stone hftd been
thrown at the windows, but now a regular
shower was kept up on them. All this
time the attack on the door never slackened,
and two more pistol shots, and one
from a rifle, were fired upon thrt assailants.
One man fell dangerously wounded,
and was immediately carried to Dr.
Macdonnell's. Two of the pistols were
said to have been fired by Messrs. Hincks
and Driupmond, Cabinet Ministers. If
tho rumor spreads, in my opinion they
n&a Dcwer not remain in this city much
lo%er.
The troop of cavalry now arrived, and
the riot act was read by Captain Wcathcrhall,
amidst the most awful cries from
the crowd of "blood for blood." The
cavalry, upon being ordered to charge,
walked slowly down the streets. Captain
W. also personally went amongst the
people, and begged them to disperse,
promising them if a man had been shot
to bcc satisfaction triv^n tfiamiw
ry Ill l/HU JIKJI IIing.
When I left, at 2 O*oloc?, a. m.,
everything ^aa quiet, and the oi^wd dispersing.
Should any member of the
British parly bo indeed killed, as in reported,
it will he difficult to tell how thin affair
will end. 1 noticed several member*^
of Parliament amongst the crowd.

North River Steam Boat Empire Sunk.
The splendid steam boat Empire, running
between New-York and Albany,
was run into by a scooner on Thursday
night last, near Newburg, and sunk instantly.
She had about three hundred
passeng -s on board, all of whom, our
correspondent says, with tho exception
of twelve, were saved. No further particulars
are given, but it can well be conceived
that in the confusion that must1
have resulted from the accident, the loss
of life could not be well ascertained, and
may bo more or less than is stated. It
would be diflicult to ascertain, among
such a mass of human beings, who, or
how many were saved or drowned.
LIVERPOOL MARKET.
The latest accounts from Liverpool by

that the prices were fully up to tho rates

extremely limited.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.
Our correspond informs us that a despatch
from St. Louis announces that
one half of that city was destroyed by
fire on Thursday night last. Five Banking
houses and every Insurance office
were a prey of the devouring fiamcs. AU
the stores fronting on the River were dc
stroyed, and twenty seven steam boats,
lying at the wharves, were involved in
the general destruction. This is one of
the most devastating fires that it has
been our province to record for many

that, the King's Government having exhausted

been forced to blockade the port and

order to prevent the introduction of merchandize

was began in the first days of April,
and the vessels of tho Neapolitan squadron
will maintain it on tho whole of the

prays the Hon. Secretary of State to give
to this communication the most extensive

ITALY.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
writing from Leghorn, closes a somewhat
interesting letter as follows:
" The popular movement in Italy may
be set down as crushed for the present.
Sardinia is again king-ridden hy the
interposition of Austria. Tuscany is soon
to have an armv of Austrians to reinstate
the Grand Duke, who fled recently. The
Pope is to be reseated by tho assistance
of several of their most Christian majesties
again clothed with functions spiritual
and temporal. The king of Naples, that
worst of all the kings, is preparing an army
of 30,000 men to overrun Sicily and
crush the high spirited Sicillians.?
"There's a good time a coming,' but it
can i como yet, ana it will never come so
long as men place confidence in kings
and princes. When God said to the Israelites
'I will placo a king over thee as
a punishment and'to show my displeasure,
(I quote from memory,) how grievous
must have been tho offence to have
merited such punishment! In kingdoms
and princedoms and popedoms I see nothing
hut a blight and a mildew?the people
do not stand ereot in tho image of
their Maker as under our glorious institutions,
but, distorted in intellect and physique,
they bear the impress of the iron
rod and the iron heel."
Oen. MoDukfie.?On a recent visit
to this distinguished patriot, (says the
Edgefield Advertiser,) at his residence
in Abbeville, wo were gratified to find
him improved in health. He seems at
present to bo entirely free from physical
pain, though unable to walk without assistance.
Ho manifests very lietlo interest
in conversation of any kind; but with
tho exception of defect in memory, shows
that he still retains in clearness his powers
of mind.

Minister resident at Washington, has
drawn up a solemn protest against the
conduct of the American government, in
regard to the protocol in the treaty ol
peace, and handed a copy of it to each
foreign minister in Washington, with the
request to have tho matter brought to
the cognizance of their respective governments.
This same correspondent adds:
"I should not wonder if Mr. Clayton,
having once his hand, in, were to have
some hard words with another Minister
of a foreign power. He will soon realize
the fact that the Secretaryship oi
State is no sinecure."

The unfortunate division* rtf fViA nnr.

The prosperity which pervades the country,
and the glory that surrounds its flag,
are mainly, if not entirely, due to those
sound principles clearly recognised by an
American public, and earned to their fulfilment
through the steady loyalty of the
; democratic rarty.
Thot schisms have been created by designing
men, as dangerous to party as
condency as to national welfare, affords
additional reasons for more rigorous exertions,
the cultivation of a spirit of forbearance,
and that self sacrificing patriotism
which has for so long a period been
a distinguishing feature ot democracy.?
For whatever of evil raav spring from federal
ascendancy, those who defeated the
democratic party by heartless desertion
in its hour of trial must be held accountable
; and we doubt not that November,
1852, will witness a retribution that will
be more terrible to false friends than to
open foes.
