The remnant of the " Dorr Rebel*" of Rhode Island seem still bent on mischief. They are holding meetings in the State, and some of them over the line in Massachusetts, at which they cheer on their " gallant" leader. They seem determined, if possible, to give him a third opportunity of exhibiting his ditcretion. The Rhode Island Convention for the formation of a constitution for the State is in session, and it is said by persons on the spot, are likely to agree upon one that will be acceptable to the great body of the people of both parties. Whig Conventions in different States have nominated Mr. Clay for the Presidency. In Massachusetts Mr. Clay ha* been nominated for the Presidency, and Gov. Davis, of that State, for the Vice Presidency.

The riots in the manufacturing and mining districts were nearly quite at an end, so far as violence and actual resort to force were concerned, but the condition of the country was still very uneasy* A few mills had recommenced work, but in general there wae no renewal of friendly relations between the operatires and their employers. Large numbers of the rioters had been arrested, and the prelimenaries for their trial were in prsgress. The London papers pour out columns upon fc<5T0fi*ifS in inscription of the royal progress to Edinburgh, which seems, however, to have been marked by no incident worthy of parti cuiar recora.

The Great Liverpool, which arrived at 5 o'? clock this evening, with despatches from India, brings the following news from Jell&labad, and from the camp of General Pollock. They are i dated the 22d of June, and are of the most melancholy description.

Scuta Africa;?The Britirh*are involved here also in a " little war#" the causes of which hare been some two or three fears in progress, ?jt seems that a large number of the Dutch bo bra, or farmers, residing within the territories claimed by the British at the Cape of Good Hope, being dissatisfied with their poeition, or imagining that they could govern themselves mure to their liking, removed, some two or three years ago, to Natal, - 1 1 - 1-?-r I on the Eastern coast, too oeyona wv jiuimb ui the British colony. Here they throve by their industry, and considerable accessions were made to their number by immigration. The increase of the new settlement was looked on with displeasure and jealousy by the Government of the old, and Captain Smith was tiespatched with a small body of troops (about 160 men) to break it up by force.
