T. Avery t bas shot two more negroes, brothers of Duffy Harris whom he shot last week, and that he has been bound over to appear at the next .court. All of the parties .shot, are seriously wounded, but none of them dangerously. The .cause of the 'astahooting was the same as the Hist, viz: insulting-/ language on being order- I b -ed to leave the place; but as there are so many versions afloat, and as the affair ls to be m?de the subject of judicial Investigation, we refrain from giving what' -particulars-we _ have neard. TUB RIOT AT JHK.MJLITART HALL.-We have obtained the following particulars in relation to the row at the Union League meeting on Thursday night. It appears that after a very' sfbrmy discussion, the vote was called upon some question relative to the election of a presi? den t, and tbe minority claimed that the count of the votes bad been uni air, and demanded that the question be pst a second time. To this the opposite party apparently consented, and one member suggested that to avoid any farther unfairness, the entire assembly should mo. ?j to one side of the hail, and those in favor of the motion should cross to. the other side as soon as their names were called. But as soon as the mem? bers rose from their seats, a scene of great confusion hegan, in the course of which sticks, clubs and knives flourished extensively. The president, T. J. Mackey, ls asserted to have dealt a blow, with a loaded cane, upon the head ot J. S. Hardy, wounding him severely and felling him to'the floor. This, however, ia positively denied by Mackey, in a published ?aid. He appeared before Trial' Justice Ben? nett, yesterday morning, and demanded an examination, be giving bond for bis appear? ance in court at 10 o'clock this morning. Many who were present, however, state as positively that Mackey did strike Hardy, and ?Iso W. H. Mishaw. During the riot Louis Hill bad his arm in? jured, and Daniel McPherson was stabbed in file wrist John G. Mackey is said to have drawn a pistol on Joseph Thompson, but was prevented from firing by parties standing near him. On the whole, lt was a most disgraceful affair, and had not the police Interfered, might have proved a most serious one. The state? ments made by various parties are, as ls usual where the two fae tiona meet, very contradictory, but the whole disturbance seems to have been brought about by the DeLarge party, who ?re represented to have been considerably in the minority. j SHOOTING APFRAT. -On Thursday evening, a' -dlfflculty occurred on Meeting street, near Co? lumbus, between Mr. Isaac Riggs, a fireman on the South Carolina Railroad, and Mr. J. W. Read, a conductor on the same road, during which several pistol shots were fired, and Mr. Bead was twice wounded. The particulars sri as follows: Some-time previous to the war, Mr. Reed, then an officer of the city police, arrested Mr. Rlgg3 on the charge of-stealing. Thia Mr. Riggs bas never forgiven, and he had frequently expressed a determi? nation to * kill Mr. Bead, whenever opportunity should offer. On Thursday, upon the arrival of Mr. Bead's train, his friends in? formed him that Mr. Riggs had asserted that he had purchased a new i ^tol and was re? solved to wipe out the oid score. Mr. Read, in consequence of tills Information, armed himself, so as not to be taken at a disadvan? tage. A short time after his arrival at home, he had occasion to go out a short distance, and had proceeded but a few steps from his door, when some one, whom he thought tto "te Mr. Riggs, passed him. He turned * to see If bis conjecture was correct, and immediately as he did so Mr. Rtgg3 -turned and drew his pistol, Mr. Read trapidly following his example. Mr. Rlgg3 flred Immediately, wounding Mr. Read in the third Anger of his right hand, breaking the bone and partially disabling him. Mr. Read, how? ever, fired, wben Mr. Biggs fired a second time, wounding Mr. Read in the right side. Mr. Bead then fired the remaining charges rapid? ly and Mr. Biggs ran off, firing over his shoul? der as he ran. Mr. Bead thinks that he Hounded Mr. Biggs, but cannot say positively. His own injuries are not serious. Mr. Riggs la supposed to have left the city. -ME Ell NV OE ?IXr OOUNOIli. A special meeting of Council was held last night, Present-The Mayor, .

An Interesting Sketch of their Origin and HMory-The Career of their Pro? fligate Owner*. _ " TO.TH.E E?ITO-B OF TUR ?gWS. The writer of an article in yesterdays NEWS, entitled "The Imperial Baby," desires some enlightenment with regard to the famous "Brunswick diamonds,'" which' are reported to have been sent to London, together with the Empress Eugenie's wardrobe. I can f'urnisn the information required. In the year 1830, Charles, the then reigning Duke of Brunswick, eldest sou ot Duke Frede? rick William, who led "the Black Brunswick ers" at Quatre-Bras, was expelled from his hereditary dominions on account of his crimes and misrule. The two principal traits of the character o f this prince were profligacy (he was a very handsome man) and avarice. Although the inheritor of much wealth irom his mother, a princess of Baden, he had, during a reign of seven years, extorted several millions of tha lers from his subjects, which he took with him. together with a famous onyx vase, and other , articles of "vertu," worth, perhaps, haif a million, which he stole from the museum or his capital a few days before his flight. I remember when "the Brunswickers" set his palace on Are. It was a very Interesting scene. Bureaus full of louis-d'ors, which the auke had to leave behind for want of trans? portation, were found in the palace and plnn lered. Several poor "Brunswickers" got sud lenly rich in that way. The mob had rolled numerous casks of choice wines ?ut of the collars of the burning palace into the street, where they drank the Duke's Ch?teau Margaux and Chateau d'Yquem irom are-buckets; the magniflcent grand piano, a masterpiece of art, Inlaid with gold and nother-of-pearl, on which this modern Helioga jalus had been In the habit or accompanying ,he singing ot his prima-donna, was thrown rom a balcony into the palace court below, ;the sound of the dying Instrument still rings n my ears) numerous splendid paintings, which adorned the palace-wans, were ^cut to )leces by the enraged people, . because, as hey said, they were the portraits of his mls resses; some others were saved, among which i portrait of Neil Gwynne, by Sir Peter Lely, vhlch adorned the Duke's bedchamber, ind has since come into my possession, "he expelled Duke Charles, after 6ome vain tttempts to recover his lost dominions.went to ?arls with his ill-gotten wealth, where he has ived ever since in a private capacity (for >wlng to his degraded character he was never idmltted to court,) until about two years ago. rhen he died. While In Paris, the ex-Duke s said to have occupied himself almost exclu lvely with stock-Jobbing, with the rediscovery >f the most subtle poisons, such as the famous tallan Aqua Tofana, of Lucretia Borgia mem try, (he had commenced his career of crime, vhen a young man, with poisoning first his ats and dogs, then his Moors, and lastly his ?ld tutor, Count Oberg.) and with collecting llamonas, for which he had an irrepressible nanla. He ls said to have left a whole trunk ull of them, and these are the "famous Bruns? wick diamonds," which have nuzzled the writer of the "Imperial Baby" article. Whoever has been in Paris during the last .hh'iy years, and has visited the Italian opera, nay have observed in one of the boxes a haad lome, strangely-dressed, painted figure, cover? ed with a blaze of diamonds-that was the ex Duke Charles of Brunswick, son of the hero ot Quatre-Bras. Who has inherited his wealth I cannot tell; certainly not his brother William*-the reigning Duke ot Brunswick, and the last of his illustri? ous race. Duke Charles was, I believe, united in morganatic marriage to some Countess; perhaps she ls now the fortunate owner of the famous "Brunswick diamonds." At any rate, they have been sent away from Paris to avoid being captured by the Bruaswiokers, no longer black, when the latter get there. Yours truly, A. SACHTI.SBEN. Charleston, August 12. A GOOD SUGGESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF TUE NEWS. You ar? aware that the city ls financially ld i very dilapidated condition, and that several plans have been proposed to remove the bur? len under which we are groaning, but I think lone of these as simple and feasible as one ;hat has occurred to me. In walking along the streets, I see a nplen lid crop of grass going to waste, and, In order :o turn this mine ot wealth to good account, [ would suggest that the street inspector be mthowzed to "let out" the city pasturage by ttreets to the highest bidder, and my word for t. If the money received from this source be -artfully handled, it will very soon liquidate his debt which has become so painful to our pocket nerve since the late Unpleasantness."
