and this being set at deflance, the local militia was

by the hand of a wild and reckless boy, who sho.

It is true that, in the Institution, the attempt orig

Disgraceful Ajfc.it—Riot at the University of
Virginia.—We learn from the Richmond Star of
yesterday, that a disgraceful rint lias occurred at
the University of Virginia, growing out of some
ill.fettling between tlio students and Professor
W. E. Rogers. It appears there is a Culuthumpi-
an Band of students attached to the institution,
who made it a point to disturb the Faculty a.most
nightly, uttd that Prof. Rogers and another of the
Faculty openly denounced the proceeding, which
cause their houses to he mobbed. Tliu College
windows and doors were also broken open, and on
Friday night last an attempt was made to blow up
the old trees around the building. Tnis made it
necessary for tho facility tor.nll the police, and flit,
ally the military, and the University is now, says
the Star, in the possession of live Hundred soldiers,
(citizens.) The students have held 11 meeting and
pledged themselves to restore order if tho military
be withdrawn, but the Faculty say they require
something more than pledges. Hon. W. C. Rives
addressed the Faculty and Students Oil .Monday up-
nit the subject. Most of tho students have left;
the Faculty, it is understood, will resign ; und for
the present tho College appears to he broken up.

The Bowery theatre limned Again.
INew York, April 20,
The disagreeable duty of again, for tiie lourlli
lime, announcing the to ai dosirueiio'i of the Bow
ery Theatre by lire, devolves upon the New' York
press this morning ; lout large edtlicu having, will;
tilt its diversified and valuable properties and con
tents, buen devoted to the flumes beta eett 6 and 8
last evening. The fire broke out about a quarter
past five o’clock—one repurl said it, the carpenter's
room, another in tin.' gas room—and In an almost
incredible short space of lime had spread through
and enveloped tlie enliro building. With a fury
which it was beyond all human power to check,
much less subdue, tho devouring element pursued
its course of deal ruction till every combustible inch
in and about the btitijinc bad beau reduced to aslv
es and the greater part of tlte towering walls lay in
pile* of rubbish. Whilst the terrific conflagration
was raging, torrents of cinders were thrown from
the burning mass, and scattered line hail nver tile,
surrounding blocks. composed, principally, of old
wooden andjltighly combust itrie hit.tilings.from which
the occupants hastened with Ilnur I'unmuru in mo
mentary expectation of seeing them a prey In
fl tines. Happily, however bv the extraordinary
and almost incredible exertions of the lire depart-
ntent. the flames were prevented from i'.rossiiig,I5li
zahelh street, and besides the them re, a lew ad.
joining buildings only,on the B every uttJ Eliza-
Detli'slrirel, were somewhat damaged.
It is understood that the loss w ill fall principally
on T-8. Hamblin and James R. Whiting. Toe
funner probably, had invested, in stork and prop
orllos, scarcely less than 803,000, while the latter
had, we heurd, about 810.000 worth of stock.—
Besides, a number of other stockholders, repre
senting about $ 15.000 have sull'rred. Thus wo
miy set down the total loss at 8S5.000. Upon this
we are led to believe that there is no insurance.—
The American companies huve reftiscil to insure
the theatre, we know ; and, upon tins account, ma
ny of the former siuckltolders gra ually withdrew
front their proprietorship, so that thu stock for
810,000 above mentioned is supposed to Imvu been
purchased ut reduced prices. There is n report,
however, thui insurance had bi'iot efl'ci'led in some
E iglislt office, hut we consider this jmprobuble.
Nothing ol uuy consequence, if any thing at all,
was saved from the building, so that the company’s
wardroue, as well us that belonging to the Theatre,
was entirely consumed.
The scene wits one of intense excitement. At
tlte height of the fire every nvemio towards it wits
crowded with men, women, and children. At the
hack of the theatre,where the population is exceed,
ingly dense, people were to bn seen in greut num
ber* slriviim and rushing through the crowd with
articles of furniture, beds, Inhles, and every thing

The euihu.siasui of the friends of Annexation is

in favor of muiediaie annexation, "without reference to

There is one feature of this quest on which we have
not seen alluded to iu any of our exchanges except the
Boston Advertiser. It is this. Oregon is not really
tlio question at issue, though it is evidently for some se
cret purpose made so hy tho British Government.
When the quest oil in regard to taking possession was
pending before Congress, there was some cause of com
plaint—but after it had failed m that body—after even
the resolution to terminate the joint occupancy had fal-
leu, and Congress had adjourned, it seems rat her singu
lar that Sir Robert Peel ami the Ministry should have
so seriously regarded the expression of Mr. Polk as in
dicative of the policy of this country. It looks as if
their card h id been already selected, a* if they were
determined 10 play it at all hazards. It looks an* if they
were resolved upon a rupture for some other cause, mid
were only making tins the pretext for the outbreak.
Such a view of tlio subject is calculated to excite seri
ous apprehensions as to Iho future. The tone of the
parliamentary speeches and of the British Press, may
be regarded as equivocal—as half temperate and half
insolent—as intended to provoke a difficulty, mid vet
cautiously so worded as to place the anus on our shoul
ders. In foreign countries their position will bo re
garded as haugiity and overbearing; and what i6 worse,
we fear thn rebuke of the American President will be
looked upon as deservedly severe. Whatever may be
the result, we trust that the American people may bo
able to draw a lesson of wisdon from it — that they may
more clearly see the necessity of placing men of pru
dence, of capacity, and nerve, at the head of affairs.
The language of Hie demagogue is not suite t to the
inouili ol the high Executive fuuct ormry—it is not »ho
recognized medium of communication between the di
plomatic representatives of sovereign powers. 'The
Young Hickory has been in office not vet two months,

in the matter is to he deeply regretted, viz: that the
country has been preeipitaL d upon the verge of a war
by the very party vv hose policy has tended to unfit us
lor meeting the foe on any thing like equal terms.
With a navy half manned and equipped, and an army
almost disbanded, with our harbor and river defences
ul lei ly neglected, wo can hope only for disaster in the
early part ol the conflict, should it come. The effect
of this English news upon Mexico will be electrical.
It will, in ail probability drive her at once from her pre
sent attitude into one of open hostility.
