That American literature li approaching a stand- •nl when it may, with advantage, he compared to the high polish of transatlantic productions, will be admitted by alt. Indeed, already otir Ittvino, our 1’rescott, our Coorrn, our DaRcnorT, our Everett. ourCHAXHtNn, otir Bryaxt, and our Hallrcr, to aay nothin? of our eminent female wri- trrs, have attained a celebrity in Eurojra, which place* them in tho very front rank of modern author*. Tliey have all pn*»cd the fiery ordeal «f tho mn*t unclinritaldo eriticl«m in tho page* of Blackwood and tho Quarterly, n* woli n« through the critical, hut more Impartial shoot* of the Edinburgh, tho tVctmi'niter, and the column* of tl»e London dally and weekly pro**—mid they have received praise* from even the enemy. The | author of tho " Sketch Bonk," I* acknowledged on ^ all hand* to be tho licit writer of English "pure and ondefiled," since tho day* of Defoe. I In i* novur spoken of but in laudatory term*. And ho dnus not owethl* distinction to hi* own admiring conn* trymen—but ruthor to hi* own unaided genius, which led to renown in a foreign noil—almost before hi* native land appreciated his superiority. Ameri can book* are now not'only read, but sought after in London \ and tho young lltctnturn of our youthful country ha* found It* wny all over tho Globe. Therefore, it i» necessary for tho pro** of Arne* rtca, to foster and cncnuraga every scintillation nf nntivo talent—to cheer when it i» deserved, nnd to point out blemishes when they exist. No author need dread legitimate criticism. It is tho main artery of literature itself—tho very essence of its glorlou* existence. The pruning knifo is applied to tho vine, that it may wind it* tendril*, a id boor it* delicious burden with more case and freedom than when cncumburcd with it* luxuriance. Suit it with literature. It is a question whether Byron would have ever been tho poet ho was, hnd ho not been castigated by tho Edinburgh Reviewers; and tho’ wt are no advoente* for that cold nnd unfeeling, aarcistic, and unkind method of denling with au thors, which sent poor Kkats to an enrly grave— but which tho giant mind of Btron scorned nnd contemned—yet do wo think, that the truth should bo at all time* told of literary productions—and further, that tho system of puffing i« most injurious to authors tbemiolvos,—boenuso it loud* them to form an improper estimate of their own powers. We have boon led to make theso romnrks from a close peroral of tho work, tho title nf which stands at the head of tills article. It is evidently tho pm< ductinn of a young nuihor, if not a young tnnn. It bear* throughout i's pages tho impress of talent of no common order. But tho author hnt attempted too much. He could wrlto a pleasing tulo—a live ly novel; yot he should not nttempt to moralize. I In should not endeavour to rival Bulwkr nr D'Israrm—for nltbnugh wo nbominnta tho af fected ityln of tho lutter, it must bo allowed that lie it a genius. Now every man is not such i^gn- nius—nor can every author spin out half a dozen pages with brilliant tangnnge, ideal fancies, and glowing Images, nil about nothing, ns fro nuthor of 44 Cnntarini Fleming," lins done in nearly nil hi* works. It is true tho nuthor of " Sydney Clifton," has indtdged in this mood only in n siftnll way; but it would be bettor if lm hud Mover thought of being fashionably philosophic—tho grent error of the whole tribe of novel writers in these bur days—al ways excepting Mr. James—and Irvino, we sigh while we write it, seems to linvo abandoned the vocation. Wo would not wish to be unders'mid a* disparaging "Sydney Clifton " It is a respectable eflbrt; yet we think it* author would hnvo been mure successful, had ho never carried his hero across the Atlantic. Hu seems too little acquaint ed with English manners—nod fails entirely in de picting the beau mondr. There may be n« kind lienrted mon ns Lord Tkmim.kton, among tho Eng lish aristocracy, but wo beg leave to soy that none of that class would Introduce n stranger, to tho ho- ■nm of his family, nnd more especially when that family wu* composed of two motherless girls—nnd that stranger a handsome young adventurer, with out money or friends, nnd n fugitive from justice. A story to bo nn utrl, tnu-t bo probnMo. flonoe, our doubt*. It is not for u* to say whether it is n S patriotic modo of showing one's love to hi* country, to have ono of hi* heroes, Maddox, an American sentenced to bo hung in England, for robbery—and to make tho most conspicuous of hi* villains, De- Lyle, lose his life nt tho door of nu hotel in Lon don, (whence he hnd fled for forgery,) liy tho hands of an injured father, who nfterwurd* blow* hi* own brain* nut. The characters of Km.inodourne, Shafton, and Mattiiison, tho first nnd the Inst New York black-leg,; nnd Shafton, a gentleman of fortune, who knows the whole set to bo gnm. blots and cheats, yet keops their company, and emsj se* tho Atlantic with them—theae clinruotor* wo repeat, are not such a* wo would wish to seo in nn American novel. Tho tableau would bo disgrace ful to our countiy, if it wero real, and therefore we •ay, that auch heroes are not calculated to give foreigner* anything like a fair specimen of Ameri can society—a* fashionable novels uro expected to do. - The chnrnctor nf Julia Borrowdalk is natural —-that of Helen forced. Glknthornk’s character should bo moro developed, nnd the story of tho birth of Borcharu should be more fully explained. This mystery will not do in theso days. The ago of tho 44 Castlo of Otranto," tho " Mysteries of Udulpho," and tho 44 Black Forest,” lias passed away—thanks to Walter Scott. The author of "Paul Clifford," can invent even m pot-house ruffian with interest, whilo you lain tho him—but our author could not, though ho tried to do the same, with the boy, BuRCHAnn. An author should be above such clap-traps as tho vulgar so-called 41 Welfarisms" of the day. Why we havo seen ton times as good as tho following in die penny ptiper*. • 44 Let us be elfin a whisk, as tho butcher *aid to tho fly!"* quoth Shafton to tho hero, when he had just shot Ills antagonist in a duel—and was es caping with his life. If this is likely, wo do not know whnt nature is. In conclusion, we hope to sec the author of " Sydney Clifton" expending his talents on a more interesting work, whether uf fiction or fart, thnn tho ono be fore us—and wo hope to have tho pleasure of giving him our meed of applause at some future day, when experience will hnvo lighted his path. We havo before given him credit for ability—nnd the present work, wo doubt not, will bo a favourite with many. For the sake of the nuthor and publishers, (the lat ter of whom the reading public nro much indebted • to,) we hopo so. Mr. Thomas Purse is tho SavAnnah publisher. • t See page 215—vol. I.

Parker, of Virginia, to bo clerk to tho Commissioner for marking tbo boundaty between the United State* and the Republic of T» sa*. [for tiir oxorrian.] Mr. Editor t—l hnvo learned, with rente •urpriso, that upon a late ucca«ion an ungw noruut attack from a quarter, front whence a blow of such a na ture ws* least to be expected, was made ujton tho motive, and objectt of this City Council, in rolling to mnko retailor* of spirituous liquor* take an oath that they would not sell liquor to slaves, or person* of color. A* I ant one of those persons who Micro that the law would have boon im|tulitic, inexpedi ent, und immoral in it* tendency, I u*k leave from you to state a few reasons in support of my opinion. Yon nr* aware, Sir, that tho I'rnul Code of the Stntc prohibit* any shopkeeper or any other perron, from felling liquor to slaves or froo persons of color, without permission front tho master, Ac, under jiennlty of lino ntnl imprisonment for such of fence. Tills prohibition wns passed in 103:1, und remained unaltered when tho Legislature In 1838 passed nnothor act, directing tho Clerk of the In- ferior Court to whom any application might be mndo for liceime to rotnil spirituous liquors, to re quire the npplicnnt (o take nn oath before him, to bo kept in a lunik to be preserved by him, by which onth tho applicant wu* to call upon God to witness that ho would not soli liquor to sluvea or free per- son* of color, without the verbal or written consent of the nwnor, overteer or employer of such linvo, *o. You perceive, Sir, that this act did not In any manner chnngu tho previous law; it only threw “round It wlmt wns considered to ho an additional guard, by requiring tho shopkeeper* to take nn oath to observe It. Tito Legislature, by a small major ity, passed It, nnd tbo question then cumn up before Council whether such n lnw should bo Incorporu- tod in tho City Ordinance*. Now, the first question to ho considered is, (nrd it is n paramount ono,) wns there any obligation on the city authorities to enact such n law? Wore they or wore they not at perfect liberty to pass or not to pnss It? Wns there any thing in their onth —in tho lnw of tho State—in iho dictates or their conscience, which ought to hnvo tnndn tho Aider- men vote for Its pa-sago? If nil theso questions cun bo answered in tho negative, I think that you will agreo with me, Mr. Editor, that a cruel nnd uncnllcd fl.r injustice, from a source from which should flow nothing hut charity and tho milk of hu man kindness, has been done to tho Rnnrd. Lot us first look to tho legal objection. Tho Pennl Code of tho State prohibits any parson from selling liquors at retail without liconso from the Inferior Court of the county, "except in Cot. porale townt or eittet, where, by law, authority to grant lieentr, it vetted in the corporate thoritici of tuch townt or eitivTo prove tlint Savannah fulls within this exception, it is but nu- cessnry toUdvort to tho 13th section of tho amend- ed charter of tho city of Savannah.—"And l»o it fttrther enacted that tho Corporation „f the city of Savniinali und hamlets thoraof^hall hnvo tho tolc regulation and power of governing nnd directing tavern sand granting Hcentet within it* jurisdiction- n) limits, under tuch rule, and regulationn at from time to time may ,cent a,hi,able," Now. let us turn back to tho act of 1838, which requires the retailer to take the noth, and seo whether the general control over retailing, given by tho Legisla ture to the city of Savannah, is in any manner res trained by tho lust mentioned art. Tho oath, by that art, is required to be administered by " the Clerk of the Inferior Court to whom such uppli- ration may be made." Such clerk is required to attest "each nnd retry onth so'taken, in u hook to bo kept by him fur tlint purpose,**' When you remember that all licenses to retail, except in ooroomto cities, nro gratitod by tho Infij rlor Courts or tho countins, and whan you perceive tlint there is not the slightest iillnshm mndo to any other person than the Clerk of the Inferior Court, who could only art in county licenses, nnd has no manner of nutliorily to InWmoddlo in any wny with licenses granted incorporate towns; ami when you see that not tho most distant reference is mndo* to corporate towns or cities, nr nny attempt evinced to diminish tho general and unlimited power over li- ennses, already conferred upon them, yon will m nnr.o cram to the conclusion, Mr. Editor, tlint there was nothing in tho lnw of the Srato of 1838, which wns in nny mnnner obligatory upon Council, and that thoso who bitterly uasailotl the Board for its v«to on till* nccusion, and who wont so far ns to throw out nu insinuation that there was a derelic tion of duty nnd of oath, should have paused, before they held up honau men to public indignation, without having mndo iheimnlvos musters of ilia subject they wero discussing. No, Mr. Editor, there was nothing in tho net of 1830 which ct*t any lognlnr moral obligation on tho Council to require retailer* to take an until tu obey the laws uf tbo State. But tho question remains, (and it is a minor ono in comparison with tho Inst,) was it erpedimt or politic, to pass such nn ordinance. 1 fully ronrpdit that neither the expediency nor policy ofun net is to betaken into consideration when the law declare* that it slinli bo done, hut I think I linvo shown that tho law gives no such injunction to tho City authorities in this rase. It then licrnmo tlio duty of Council to n«k, there boing no /rga/obligation on the Board to pass such a low, U there nny argument ofex. pedioncy, or morality that cun Iw brought to hour upon tho mnitcr, to influence tho Corporation to pass it. If *o, nnd Council knowing this havo still refused to pass it,they hBvo indeed proved rcero. nut to their trust, and they deserve to Ite branded as traitors and cowards. But 1 hold tho law to bo both inexpedient, mid in its consequence* tending to produce immorality, and I think, therefore, thot its rejection was a who nnd propor set. Let mo stnto a few reasons for this belief. It is inexpedient, because it would tend to dimin. ish materially, tho rovenuo of tho City, which is con. sidernbly nugmnnted by license fen*. I freely ad mit, that this argument is quite unavailing and im proper, If it be opposed by principle or duty. But if no such opposition takes plnco; if Council wero satisfied that thecnactment of this ordinance would drivo from tho trade of retailers, nil the -honest shopkeeper*, (we suppose that it will bo conceded that there mny lie such a thing a* nn honest shop- keeper,) and Icavo the business in the hands nf un- t principled men who would swallow an oath with tho same avidity and solemnity (when it wns their interest to do so,) ai.the miserable drunkard gulps down the poison of bis soul, bis principles, and hi intellect;—if tho Corporation believed that tho law wn* but a bait for perjury—a *nnrc into which the soul* of mon were to bo canght, I ask you, Mr. Editor' and I ask those who arraigned mon before their fel low-citizens, men who were absent and could not answer,—individuals whose live* hnvo Uvn passed in this community,—who lovo its soil and thfe very dust they trend on, for it contains the ashes of their hopes and their a flections,—who have no interest beyond iu limits, and under w hoso sod their bones will moulder, I appeal to even those, Sir, was ii not justifiable, legal, moral, honorable, to abstain from tho passuge of this ordinance ? If theso were the feelings and belief (and who can search the h-art to say they were not,) of those who voted against the law,ought t^oyto bespoken of os men who trifled with their oatlu. Sir, there i» a passage in the Holy Book (I allude to it reverently.) which say*. “ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.’ I submit, whether he who attack* the mot ire* and feeling* of absent men, without understanding by what motive* ’they were impelled, doe* not fitl within the tpirit, if not the letter of the command ment. Mr. Editor, you must bear continually in your re collection, that Council have not refused (as 1 un derstand that it has been alleged.) to prohibit re taileis from selling liquor t* slaves. That question was not before them. The law of fbe Slate pro- bibils that, and the licenses granted by the city, are expressly subject to (lie condition, that the retailtr J »dl «t*y ths i»w* pf tb* State, and he five, bond* Slur SS&SirrMjg to the city to that sired, fie who sell* liquor lo •lares, violates the law, and can and otighl lb ho punished. The simple question presented lo Iho Beanl, was, shall the Honnl require an oath to ho taken by the retailors, to ob serve tlso law f Shall this bo dona whan there U nothing in tho State law obliging tlio Conn- ell to do It. ami when it was believed that this In- discriminate swearing, whilst it lm* tin good effect upon tho eonscienre, and it continually disregarded, ha* n tendency to lower and make a common place mutter of tho name of God, by invoking it upon ever)- filling discussion. Sir, the minds of men throughout tho civilised world, are ownko to tho constant and legal blatphemy of Judicial onth* Tho wisrst philosopher*,—tho purest Christian*, have deprecated In glowing language, the daily in vocations upon tho name of the deity, under the sanction of the law. They have said " that upon two classes of mon, tho oath will lm uxdos*; religi ous mon with whom tho natural obligation to speak tbo truth will bo a sufficient inducement to veracity und irreligiou, men who would bo Indifferent to any new tanefion which religion could impose Evon where the moaning of the oath is understood, It does nut incrouso tlio religious obligation to speak the truth. The oath cun in reality, add nothing to the obligation." " When," as Dr. Raley says, " not a pound of ton enu travel from the ship to tho con sumer, without costing half a dozen oath* at least; when tlio snmo solemn invocation i* mndo by the incumbent of the pettiest office, and tho holder of tho highest official trust; (we tiny add, and by tho seller of every glass of grog;) when oaths have thu« become us faudliur ns housohold words, what sanction* of solemnity or nj-nciations of roligioui. nwo can bo connected with their two ?" "The most solemn words nnd forms mny be hoard nnd uttered, until their original force and menidug are entirely lost. There is litilo doubt that tho rommon prac tice of profane swearing uiigiiiitcd in a reverent and sorinus use, in solumn protostatiuiis, of tho terms of tho oaths, which are now profanely ut tered." I have given you tho opinions of Christians nnd Philosophers in preference to my own, Mr. Editor, licrauso they are more forcibly expressed. 1 ask you, I ask the religious part of this community, ought mon to bo vehemently attacked, their motive* assailed, their integrity denied, because iu the c»n- scicntiou* discharge of their duty, they believed the ordinances to be impolitic, inexpedient, Hnd tending to dugrudo the tiumo of God, uud to damn thu souls of meii ? Mr. Editor, I attack tlio motives of no one. The members of tlio Board who voted foe tho law, I know to bo pure und honorable mon, who thus re corded their votes, boenuso they bolieved tluit there was un obligation an them to do so. Thoso who voted in tho nogntlvo, I ptvsumonll held a contrary doctrine, nnd it is ungenerous nnd uncharitable to •upposo that they would "trifle with their oaths," from motives of personal policy, or from a desire to danco that most unprofltnhle of nil jigs, tho "jig pnpulnmm." It is not thu, that public servants should bo rewarded for years of thankless toil. They urn political shuttlecocks ti be knocked about by every hnt tlint they mny approach. They may bo abused for their Ignorance, or rejected for tlndropinions; bat their motive,, nnd theirfeeling, should Ihj respected, uud until there hnvo been proved to bo corrupt, charity and religion should alike dictate tliut (hoy should nut be * PROSCRIBED.

Correepondenee of the New York Expert,. ABOLITION WHIG MOVEMENT. Alhant, August 1 1839. Tho Nationnl Anti-Slavery Convention, consisting of upwnrds of four hundred delegates from overy Shite North of the Potomac, is now inso-simi here. Two resolutions nr# under discu-sioo, by which political action is urged on the Anti Slavery party a* the only means of sum*»«; aid u pledge lias been given not to support nny candidate who is not for the immediate abolition of slavery. A g iihI many speeches havo lieen made, mostly in favour of the resolutions, and I think they will Iks adopted. In tlio course of debate, I lenry Clay and Martin Van Burnt nro both openly donouncod—tlio onoas ready by his veto to perpetuate slavery in the District of Columbia, tlio nthr.rns owning and driv ing sixty slaves on his plantation. Tlio Abolitionist* lire determined to oppose Mr. Clay, and they now assort that they can nnd will prevent tlio success of tlio Whig ticket in Connecticut, Vermont, Massachu setts und Ohio, if. Mr. Clay is nominated. 1 leave it for you and tho other Sachems of tlio party to d.*» tormina whnt is to be our course uml- r this fearful aspect of tilings. Must not " Union, Comprtimi-o and Harmony" bo our watchword forthwith. Yours, &c. Ay, the rack brings out tlio confession. The Whig-, in danger of losing their allies, nre com pelled tu confess tho alliance. The Abolitionists assort that they eon nnd will prevent tlio success of iho Whiff tlrkei in four Siatos, if Mr. Clay 1* nomi nated, and ilia Whig correspondent of the Express calls it a "fearful aspect of things." It is not "tear ful" unless the Abel tinnist* nre of tin* Whig party. But tlio uukindest cut of nil, is that tho Abolitionists threaten to upset the Wldgs in Ohio, where it lias been so shamelessly ass-rted that tliey all belonged to he other party. How is this deploruldo state of things in the Whig party to l>o remedied ? The correspondent of the Express plainly intimates that tho demands of the fnaaties must bu complied with—that the Whig party of die Confederacy, iike the Whig parly of New York, must pat on nnd wear as graceftilla* they mny. the parti-colored penitentia ry garment of a Federal Abolition Union. " Must not Union, Compiomise nnd Harmony' be our watchword forthwith ?" " Union" with whom ? Why,truly, with the Abolitionists. "Compromise" with whom ? With those who demand us the con dition of their adhesion to the Whigs, that their candidate for the Pro«ideuey -lull l>u an Abolition- " Harmony," wiih whom ? With those who drive openly and avowedly nt rov.diitionixi.ic tlio Soutli by tho acti in of the Fnder-il Government. This is a pretty programme for ihn Southern Whig* to digest. Are they randy for thi* IhmiimIuI project of " Union, Compromise and Harmony?'' It is worthy of note, too. that according to thu above account of the doings of tho Abolitionists, Mr. Van Buren is denounced by them for hi* anti- abolition principles; Mr. Clay for the accident of owning slaves. Perhaps after all he may lie able to enter into the new " compromise." According to the Birhmaud Whig, he lm* lately given up nil his former priuc'plt-s, tariff, bank, internal improve ments, <tc. can he not sod out hit slaves, and so happily reconcile tlio Abolitionists l It will be recollected, Mr. Editor, that tho Whig papers of Georgia have based their opposition to Mr. Van Buren upon the ground that he is art Aboli tionist, which tliey know is nut the fact. Ttiey have been repeatedly called upon to come out openly, and any whether they did not wish to see Mr Clay elect* cd President, but upon this subject they have main tained a coinmeudablo silence! They know that Mr. Clay cannot get the vote of Georgia directly, uud therefore they hove (doubtless with the hope of ih owing the election into the House of Representa tive#) nm up the flag of a gentleman every way quali fied for the office, it is true, but who is not a candi date; who himself is cpjioicd to Mr. Clay—who is a Sub-Treasury man, and 4 understand, favoura ble to the re-election of Mr. Van Buren. Is this cou *e honorable ? I h ave it to the Editors lo say —altho' tl»ey may try to pull the people of Georgia into the belief that Mr. Van Buren is adverse to tbei r interest#, the above correspondence shows that die Abolitionists know better. I challenge those pa pers to copy it. A DEMOCRAT.

Tho magistrates hud been ongugod in tho exami nation of wilnussus ivlutmg to tlio previous riots during tlio woolo of Monday. The moluuehuly work of that night I givo you ns stated in the Bit- ininghuin Journal of this day. Tlio magistrate* were engaged in tlio investiga tion until lour o'clock, after which they received bail f..r Air. Lovett and Air. C'ulHnf, mid left the ullioo about live o’clock. Tlio crowd in .Moor street and tlio Bud Ring having boon apprised of thu re- *uu, gradually dispersed, mid the town presented iu U’tial orderly appearance. Unfurtunutaiy, how evoi, thi* tranquillity was of short duration. About suven o'clock tlio Bull Khlg buemno crowded with a number of persons, muny of whom, from thoir np- jieuraiicu, wore evidently unrooted by curiosity, fltoir conduct was perfectly urduily, so much so tliut nu utlumpt wus mudo, u*in thupruviuu*nights, to dispurse them. The pressure, however, wus so great lliutili.i shopkeeper* iu toe Bull Ring cl ,sod their shops before eight o’clock, u litilo earlier than usual, but without any atilicipuliun ol a riot. Sh il ly uflcv eight o'clock u mob uf persons, tu the num ber of about live hundred, were noun coming up Digbclh, united with pieces of iron nnd wouduu railings, and other weuponi. Un thoir arrival ut Alum- street they turned down to tho prison uml im mediately commenced a turious attack upon tho windows, utmost nil of which they demolished. Tim policemen who weio insido closed the gates, havi >g,'lappear*,received urdeis nu; to act uguinst the people without instructions from die ntugis- ti ates. Tlio uiuii having demolished the uilicc win dows und dared the police lo hii encounter, ro'ree led thoir steps, and immediately commenced an m- txet upon the windows to the long range uf building in thu premise* of Alnssrs, Bourn#, grocers After smashing uvury pnno in lit t building, wliisli is live stones high, wiiii u fionttge «.f uhuoi luriy f.*i t,uiid in di'ptli about ninety fem, tlv-y divided iliutnse-ves into ourtics and commenced the work uf destitu tion in good cm nest.

The shopman mui in mate* wero paralysed, and Ib-d out of the house by the side und others duurs. While this wurk uf de vastation was going on another party uflectod their entrance into the shop of Mr. Leggutt, fern her dea ler nnd uphoi->lorer, and having got possession ofn number ui pio.es of bed ticking, some uf thorn rush ed into tho street with them, ami spread them like cm polling in nil direction* about the Bull Ring. Having placed the linen in thi* manner upon the puvemcm, one of the rmters deliberately went to u lump ut Neisun’s niouuinunt, uml having ligh ed n piece of pupor, lie set lire lo the ticking. Whoa it was set in limn#* it was then rolled up into a heap opposite the monument, mid from thence carried in ditlbrant portions into the shops ofMe-sr*. Burn tu mid Leggett. The firs almost instant y seized th# counters und paper, ami in a lew minute* the build- in?* wero in fl ones. I hu ebject* of the rioter* were now so obvious that tho cnncmjisu who hud assem bled in ilic Bull Ring bocarno evidently alarmed and duper-cd, leaving the rioters to tint lull posses sion of the leading street*. Tlio next place attacked by the mob whs the bouse of Mr. Arnold, poik butcher, residing nouriy opposite the inunmnont. They were, however, repulsed there; nnd did not sucm-ed in tiring tlio house.

The front window of Mrs. M irtin's house was completely smashed, and all the property within reach, consisting of g dd lings mid jewe/ery, was thrown about, aid a portion of them stolen. Mr. Bank's show window w-s* broken in, and a great d. ul of property destroyed. Tho sliojt win low* of the ulher above named Imu*## wore stove in, and the windows in many of ih« room- smashed. The attack upon Mr. II irteo's shop was ino*t furious. The property, consisting of almost every species of maaofaetured silver ami silver plated good*, was thrown into tlio *tr#et, scattered ah -ut, and even employed in smi*hing the window* of ih# ail joining hi*u«es.

Nothing, however, nf the kind occurred, uud, with die exception ol tho above outrage, which lias b on attended with tlio loss of muoy thousand pounds worth of propurty, tho night pnssl-d over without luiTiior violenee.
