Everything went on quietly until about six | ck, when, according to the most reliable ac- j a passenger, rather the worse for liquor, j :.to a difficulty with one of these periputhetic ! •rs, drew his revolver, and fired at him. The i nstance has been variously stated ; some as that the negro drew his knife first, or other provoked the quarrel.

The man who tired the shot being seen shortly ; : rtvards iu the bar-room of the Ocean Hotel, an 1 i.s’riminate attack Mas made upon the party as . tied there.

Philadelphia, May 1.--A terribly destructive fire broke out last night in this city about twelve , o'clock. It commenced in Jessup i Moore’s paper M-arehouse on North street, below Sixth, and ex • tended rapidly into Commerce street, consequence ; of a sharp North-west Mind; thence the flames spread over Market street,|consnming all the build ings on the eastern side of 6th to Market street.

The great railroad line from Paris to Marseilles, a distance of live hundred and thirty-five miles, is now completed, except the bridges at Lvons across the two rivers, the Saone and the Rhone, at tin junction of which the city stands. These bridges, when finished, will be as fine specimens of work manship as can any where be found. The one across the Rhone is already near done, built of cast iron, and it presents a most beautiful and picturesque view us seen from a point about a hah a mile above it. The piers of the bridge across the Saone are now building in water that is forts or fifty feet deep. Great cylinders of cust iron are first planted on the bottom of the river, by some means I know not boss-, which reach above the surface < f the wa ter. From these the water is pumped out, and the workmen descend in them as in a svell and carry on the work of rearing the piers from the hot ton. of the riser. The bridge across the Saone is ap proached by a tunnel five or six miles in length ! How far if is below the surface of the earth I can not tell ; but it is no uncommon thing in this country to travel for a mile or two at a time through a tunnel, and that, too, at the rate of üboui forty miles per hour ! But the railroads in this country are so delightful; there is scarcely any perceptible motion. The roads are beautifully graded and then cov ered svith pebbles or small fragments of rock, pounded in so as to make them firm. The sides of the embankments are turfed. The tracks are always double, so that there is no danger of colli sion. The coaches are elegant, and the whole management of the road is conducted with tie strictest reference to the convenience, comfort and safety of the passengers. Travelling by rail in England, and especially on the continent, is much more pleasant and vastly safer than in the United States. The express and the direct trains, as they are called, 'make but few stoppages on the long routes, and ordinarily not more than one or two minutes at a station. Then every thingis so quiet. There is no bustle or noise at the stations. In obtaining tickets hut one person can approach at the same time, and he must get his change and retire before another can apply. In a word, there is a perfect system about every thing. The coaches are not like ours; they are divided into apartments that resemble elegantly furnished private carria ges. On the continent there are eight seats in these apartments; in England only six. The firs; class on the continent is far superior in point of comfort to the first class in England. In England they have no means of warming the coaches in cold weather. In France they warm them by means of cylinders of hot water, which are chang ed two or three times during the night or day. Thev keep the coach very comfortable. letters of Res. Mr. Edwards. How to Cook Shad. —Shad are excellent when baked, either on a board, which is the best, or by j the following mode : Stuff them with a seasoning I made of bread crumbs, butter, salt, pepper, and [if j agreeable) parsley and spices. Put the fish in a baking dish, with a cupful of water and a lump of | butter. Bake for three quarters of an hour to an j hour. Shad broiled is also excellent; but it is j spoiled bv frying, and it loses nearly till its fine flavor. This being n moist fish, it should never be j boiled. Those who never ate a baked or broiled j shad know nothing of that excellence which we ] claim for this fish above all others. Washington, April SO.— Mr. Davidge, the Presi dent of the steamship company, hav iug sent a tel egraphic dispatch to Gen. Lane, of Oregon, rela tive to the riots at Pan ana, the latter this evening called en President Pierce communicating the re l quest of Mr. Davidge to send a vessel of war to Aspinwali for the protection of Americans, and received assurances that the matter would he at tended to with the least possible delay. It will probably be made a matter of Cabinet consulta * tion to-morrow. Methodist Movement. —Among the laynteu of ' the Methodist E. Church in New York and Brook lyn, there is a movement making for annihilating the Presiding Eldership. In a petition to the Gen end Conference the laymen plead that this Elder ship is unnecessary—that the services of the Presi t ding Elders are wanted as preachers—that the of r | flee imposes a burdensome and unnecessary taxon e ! Societies, and creates inurmering among the peo : pie who supportthe Elders “with grudging hands.” The report of trie member in Society in the Phil adelphia Conference shows a decrease of sixteen hundred during the past year.

This Remedy is no quack nostrum, got up to gull the people, and fleece them out of their money, but a medicine, which, together with the treatment prescribed to accompany the taking of the medicine, has the sanction of 1 curs of success ful application in private practice, and will not fail to euro the most stubborn case of Dyspepsia, no matter of how long standing, or how severe it may be, providing the directions are closely followed out. It was not suddenly hit upon, nor dreamed of, but is the accretion of facts and experiments collected in the daily rounds of duty as a practi i»g Physician, and is given to the public in a popu lar form, iu the hope, as in the belief, that it will not fail in giving relief to the sufferer from Dys pepsia, and all other diseases having their orifriu m the stomach, in any instance when the directions are properly attended to. It has received the high est encomiums from the first physicians throughout the North and South it has been tried, recom mended and certified to by some of the most emi nent jurists and statesmen in the country, all of which shall appear iu due time. Physicians of large practice are now using it and relying upon it alone in these diseases in their practice, and re commend it to their friends as worthy their best confidence. It is entirely dissimilar to any and every nrepar tion of the kind now before the people. The ori ginator, entertaining views and opinions somewhat at variance with the prescribed notions among medical men generally, as regards the nature ol these diseases, has in this preparation brought to gether medical agents of known utility and worth, iu the form of a m-vv combination, making a com pound altogether and entirely new, and one that will not fail in effecting a cure, if directions aix followed and persevered in. The undersigned is well aware that the same encouragement Ims been given, and the same promises made, over and over again, by manufacturers of patent medicines, as regards their different preparations, and as vouch er for the curative qualities of this preparation, and for the purpose also of giving additional weight to whatever he may say as regards this new preparation, be would beg to refer to the fact, that be is the originator, manufacturer and proprietor of the well known “ Jacob’s Cordial,” the cura tive properties of w bichip Cholera, Dysentery and Diarrhea, are now being proclaimed by thousands in every section of the country, and as being all that he ever said of it. The undersigned does not profess to be a philan thropist, or that he is uninfluenced by considera tions of pecuniary profit m placing the Remedy be fore the people, but lie dot ? know that while he mav be realizing a pecuniary profit, fellow-sufferers will realize that which is of more worth to them than the wealth of Indin. Dyspepsia, like Gout, may be said to b« .1 fash ionable disease; it more readily than any other, in various of its forms, and to a greater extent, find it- victims in tiio wealthy and aristocratic circles, especially' in large cities, unit I 's insidious work ings arc often the real, though undiscovered cause ot the sallow cheek, the dull, heavy eves, and gen crel inertia—indisposition to either mental or phy sical effort, which are erroneously atiributed to other causes. Scenes of luxurious ease are not,' however, alone the haunts of this destroyer of the h< altli ami en joyment of myriads of mankind, Other conditions of life there are in which it revels over faded and emaciated forms, and dispirited and despairin': hearts. The sedentary labors of the coun'ing house, and the study, not less than the 111'ense ex citement and irregularities of busier occupations of mercantile life, are promotive of it; each daily adding to the number of its subjects. But our (that is the physician and his patients) object is not, having once discovered the disease, so much to trace it back to its source, as to remove it from where we find it, and to establish a healthful and vigorous action of the various organs, by use of the proper agencies, and to restore to their natural functions these organs which had been perverted bv disease. For all NERVOUS SUFFERERS, This preparation, with its accompanytngdirections for treatment, are peculiarly applicable; and if the former is taken anathelatter closely complied with it will not fail of curing. Also, to those suffering from DISEASE OF TIIE I IVT.R, it is particularly recommended, and most admirably adapted. In WEAK AND DEBILITA TED SYSTEMS, it will be found as possessing tonic properties to a pre-eminent degree, and very ad mirably adapted to a large portion of the female sex, whose debilitated and worn out constitutions require an artificial restorer In using this Remedy, its beneficial effects may be looked for at once. It will begin to relieve, and the patient will know that recovery has commenc ed within forty-eight or seven!v-two hours, or, at farthest, by the time he has taken the contents of one package. To those trying the effect of this Remedy, I would prnpoed a test that will demon strate to the patient that he is being benentted. If it is used in a case of Dyspepsia, where pain or other distressing feelings'attend the taking of food upon the stomach, 1 suggest that the patient, ! after using the Remedy for three or four days, and following closely the other directions, partake of some articles of food which he had known pre viously to disagree with him, and he will discover that it no longer produces the disagreeable effect. Sufferers from Dyspepsia, nervous sufferers, inva lids from disease of the Liver, and from broken, worn out and debilitated constitutions, trv one ! package; follow out closely all the accompanying 1 directions, and prove the truth or falsity of what I have said of the Remedy. I would, "however, remark, that unless you determine to take the medi cine and follow out all directions ns given, 1 pre fer you would let it alone entirely, and not huv it ; preferring much rather to go without your money than have ton take it without deriving" benefit W. W. BLISS, No. 20, Beekman-street, Xew York. BLISS DYSPEPTIC REMEDY is put up in pack ages in the form of powder, with full directions for mixing it in liquid form before taking.

MELL’S PATENT PLOW STOCK !~ T THE undersigned has invented and patented u most valuable improvement in the PLOW STOCK—the county rights for which he desires to sell. He prefers to let others speak its praise, and therefore introduces the following certificates, from two planters, well and favorably known in the community in which they reside. He might in troduce many others, but the Plow Stock will speak for itself whenever examined. JAMES B. MELL, Riceboro’, Liberty county, Ga. This is to certify that I have, with mv own hands, thoroughly tested the newly invented’Plow Stock of James B. Mell, Esq. In’point of simplicitv and perfections I have neversecn or used its equal. In it is combined every thiug that 1 could wish in a Plow Stock., and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest and the best that lias ever been offered to the pub lic. I speak from having used it with mv own hands. I was raised to folloiv the plow, and' think that I know how one ought to run. I would cheer fully thank any one, who will thoroughly try it, to point out to me one single fault in it. It is' easier upon the horse and the plowman than any that I have ever used. The principle upon which you regulate the depth of the Plow is so simple, and vet so perfect, as to commend itself to any one; and the Stock is adapt ed to any* kind oi Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, just as light as any could desire it to be. I would re commend to any and all, if they wish the best and cheapest Plow Stock, w ithout hesitation to get Mr James B. Mell’s. D \V. Wilson. Peilfield, Oil., April 15, 1856. In company with several others, I. this dav, wit nessed the trial of Mr. James B. Hell's Plow Htock, by Mr. 1). VV. Wilson, and cheerfully state that all present were fully satisfied that it floes everything as stated above. I would, moreover, state that! have been using them on my farm for several months, and every day serves to confirm me in the opinion of tlm superiority.of Mr. Hell’s Plow Stock to all others now in use.
