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

The famous Doctor Peters, the dealer in quack
nostrums, lately bung himself in New York. It
is said that he has been in a declining state of
health for some time, and finally became insane.
Quere: Was it owing to remorse caused by the
frauds which he knew he was practising upon a

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

brings the following news from Jell&labad, and
from the camp of General Pollock. They are i

The mail itself arrived on the 3d, with the
