The unsuspecting party foolishly produced twenty

credulous man, while the guilty pair made ulT with
their booty In safety.
Another Firemen's Riot The city was nmla
disgraced this morning by a Oremen's riot at Eighth
and Sansoin streets. It seems that a falae alarm of
tire had been sounded from the box In that neigh
borhood about 2 o'clock, and to the locality a large
number of companies proceeded. The tight lasted
several minutes and was holly contested. During
the progress of the same several shots were tired.

bail.
The Result of a Row Shortly before seven
o'clock last evenlDg a slight (Ire occurred at tho re
sidence of Thomas Holland, N. W. corner of Broad
aud Carpenter streets, caused by the explosion of a
coal oil lamp. It appears that during a quarrel In
the house a missile hurled at one of the pauicipjutd

Accident. About ten o'clock this morning a gro
cer's truck, driven by Thomas McVey, ran Into Dr.
Oerhard's carriage at Twelfth and Wood streets.

THE ItECEST BATTLES.
The t'onfllcls Near Amlrni and Orleans
Mictrh of ihe (iruuuil Covered by the Svv
CaiiiphlKn.
Morcuil, where the French arc reported to
have gained a great victory, is one ot the prin
cipal towns iu tho aiToudis&euieut of Mont
didier, In the Department of Sotuine. It con
tains about three thousand inhabitants and is
situated ou the bank of the river Auro and
twelve miles southeast of Amiens. Near by are
the ruins of an ancient abbey and those of an
old chateau. The manufacture of hosiery.
paper, etc., forms the principal industry of the
neoi'ie.
A second despatch, dated irom tours, locates
the Eccne ol the battle ata point between V tilers
aud Saleux. This is quite improbable, as the
first named place is situated some ten miles
cast-southeast ol Amiens, while Saleux is udl
more than lour miles nearly duo weat or the city.
Amiens belDff directly between the two places,
it will be seen that no battle could have been
fougLt near Salcux. In the department of
Somnie there are several places whose names
begin or end with Villers, but there is no place
ol that name alone, mere is Viiiers-liocajie, di
rectly north of Amiens, and Quevauvillers, to the
southwest, witn saleux between the two, but
at neither of these places could the battle have
been fought. The place referred to as having
been abandoned by the Germans must nave
been illers-llretonueux, a considerable town
in tho arroudissement of Ainlens, some ten
miles southeast of Amiens and about the same
distance north of Moreuil. This would locate
the scene of the first engagement between
Moreuil and V Hiers-liretouneux, which we
thick, will prove the case.
The battle must nave been first fongut here:
because the despatch speaks of the French hay
ing been subsequently beaten at Boves, a village
containing some eighteen hundred inhabitants,
and f ltuatea on the river Aure, six miles south
east of Amiens, forming the apex of a triangle
comprising Moreuil. Villers-Bretonneux. aud
lioves. As lioves stands in the rear of the other
places mentioned, and nearer to Amicus, it
would be naturally the point on which the
French would fall back. Beiiten there, their
next stand would be at Dury, a small vilUtre
live miles due south of Amiens, from whence it
is quite likely that their line of battle exteuled
to Saleux.
To make the despatches intelligible we must
conclude that the battle began between Moreuil
and Yillers-Bretouneux, which latter place the
French were compelled to abandon before the
heavy artillery flro of tho Prusslaus This retro
grade movement necessitated the aban
donment of Moreuil, when the French
forces retreated to Boves, a few miles
in the rear, where they attempted to
make a stand, and where they were beaten. In'
stead of fallinor back into Amiens they seem to
have moved by thilr right linnk to Dury, a
small town situated about one mile west-nortn
west of Boves, where they succeeded in making
a (land and in repulsiug the Germans. It is
likely that the engagement was not confined to
Dury, but extended to Saleux, distant four miles
to tue northwest.
The London despatch is cither an exaggera
tion or the Tours report Is incorrect, it the
French won a great victory at Moreuil, which
lasted till nightfall, there most positively could
Lavo been no lighting at Dnrv till dark. Of tho
two despatches, that from Tours is evidently
tho most reliable, and should be so regarded in
the atteiice of the details of the engagement.
TILL DEATH 1)0 THE 31 PAIIT.
Crnnd Wrddln at m. Ntephrn'n Hainan
v t mitotic t faurch, New York.
The marriage of Senor M. Lope. Roberts, the
Spnuifh Miuihter Resident to this country, to
Mits Angelina Terry, the charming aud highly
accomplished niece of Mr. Ponvert, a well-
kuowu Spanish merchant of this city, which
has for tome time past been the all-ab3orblug
topic of conversation among the aristocratic
circles ot both JSew XorK and
Washington cities, took place ljst even
ing in St. Stephen's ttomaa Catholic
church, Twentv-einUb. street, near Third ave
nue. Long before the hour designated f jr the
folemnizntiou of tbe cercmouy halt-past sevea
o'clock Twenty-eighth street, frm Lexington
to Third avenue, was crowded with carriages.
and others were arriving at every moment, so
that e re long to effect a passage of the tho
roughfare was an utter impossibility. To add
more, if possible, to the discomfort of the in
of the invited euests, a crowd of some five or
six hundred Ill-bred persons gathered about the
door and the sidewalk upon either side of the
street, and stared every gentlejaao and lady
nhoeutered tbeehurch well nign out or coun
tenance, But witiiiu ttiDjrs wvr very diftcr-
erit. The lisndfome and spacious edifice was
well filled and most magnificently illutniuated,
and It is questionable If evr before there was
pattered within its walls so much of aristocracy,
wealth, fatiilnn, and beantr as upon this
occasion. Of the aristocracy of both this city and
vanington u was tar raster to say w no were
not mere man wno were.
The diplomatic corps was particularly well
represented, therfl beln? precent their excellen
cies the liussian Minister, the Austrian Minister,
the French Minister, the Italian Minister, the
Prussian Minister, and the English Mluleter,
together with their various attaches, etc. As is
almost invariably the cane, the "high contract
ing parties were somewhat late la arriving,
and consequently the assemblage became a
little impatient. Every few moments a rust
ling of fllk or satin would be heard at the door,
when immediately all eyes would be bent in that
direction eager to catch the firxt glimpse of the
trine, in a lew moments some six or eight
couple, the ladies dressed in a most tasteful and
recherche manner, advanced up. the main aisle
to the altar rails, near which they took seats.
Shortly altcrwards Senor Roberts, supporting
upon his arm an elderly lady, who "Advanced up
the aiele, and a few minutes later the lovely
bride, arrayed In pure white grenadine, with
full train, and leaning upon the arm of her
venerable uncle, Mr. Ponvert, was seen to enter
the floor, when, In an Instant, nearly the entire
audience rope to their feet and took a good look
at tcr as she passed to the altar, where she was
at once ji ired by Mr. Roberts, and without fur
ther delay the ceremony was proceeded with by
the Rev. Dr. McGlynn, "pastor of St. Stephen's,
assisted by the associate clergy of the church,
some six or eight in number.
Immediately upon the conclusion of the sol
emnization of the marriage rites the happy
couple proceeded to the residence of the bride's
uncle, where the congratulations of a few select
friends were received, and at a late honr in the
evening they started upon an extended bridal

AN INTERESTING SUIT.
Cnptnln ltyndera and the l.ate William G.
Mur'on.
In the Court of Common Pleas, General Term.
yesterday, before Judges Robinson, Larretnore,
and Joseph t. Day, the case of rueue 8. Kyn
ders ngnitiFt John J. Crane and Cecelia Burton
was argued. The plaintiff in tills case is the
wife of Captain It-alah Rynders, and the defen
dants the executor and executrix of the last will
and testament of the late William E. Burton.
On May 1, 1850, Mr. Burton made two promis
sory notes of that date for $2000 each, payable
rcfpcctively at twenty-four and forty-eight
months, to the order of plaintiff. After Mr. Bur
ton's death, the first note having fallen due, and
payment being refused, action was brought to
recover the amount. The defense set uo was
that Isaiah Rynders was the real party in in
terest, no legal transfer having been made to
his wife, the plaintiff; that the notes were (riven
to Captain Rynders for the sole consideration of
certain rervices, promised to have been ren
dered by him as Burton's agent, in causing the
united Slates to enter into a lease and contract
for the use and privilege of buying his Cham
bers street property, which hemees were never
rendered; andj that if such services were reti
cle,) cd, the' constituted an unlawful consideration
lor the making and transfer of the notes by Bur
tor, and the notes, therefore, were illegal and
void. The cause was tried before Chief Judge Daly
and a jury, and a verdict rendered in favor of
plaintiff for tho full amount claimed, with in
terest. On the trial, the defendants read In
evidence the deposition of tho plaintiff herself,
by which it appears that Captain Kvnders had
expended a considerable portion of her patri
monj', which was about $4000; that, on the
death of Burton, Rynders told her she would
have to sue the notes; that when she first saw
the notes they were in her house, iu her burcaa-
drawer, where she kept her own clothing, she
having put them in the drawer herself, where
they remained for two or three days, and were
then taken by Mr. Rynders to the Marshals
cilice, where they remained till he left that
oflicc: and she then put her name on
tbe . back of them, at the request of
Mr. Rynders, who said he would have to sue
them. It was further proved for plaintiff by
Joserh Thompson; that Burton was indebted to
Laptam it) naers lor money loaned, aud. that he
(Burton) btated that he had given these notes to
Rynders in favor of his wife in settlement of
nearly $41)00 worth of duo bills for borrowed
money witn interest, rrom this verdict the
defendants appeal, the chief point being in rela
tion to Mrs. Rynders ownership ot the notes
and ner right to sue; ana in retrard to the con
sideration for the notes: The cause was argued
on the appeal by Mr. Robinson, of Cram A
Robinson, on behalf ci the detendants. and by
Luther R. Marsh, of Marsh, Coe & Wallis, on
behalf of plaintiff and respondent, both submit
ting elaborate points. The Court reserved its
decision.
SHOCKING CASUALTY.
Destruction or a ONtlllerv In Buffalo .Hanj
i'eroiin ivilleu and wounded.
The Rochester Union of the 20th inst. says:
A dreadful casualty occurred at liiiiuio this
forenoon, involving a large loss ot life. The
particulars of this shocking affair at the time
we write are somewnat meagre, out as tne
greatest excitement prevails at the scene of the
disaster it is of course impossible for those on
the srot to get anything in detail.
It appears that between ten and eleven o'clock
this iorenoon a tremendous explosion took place
la tbe new Briggs distillery, on Carro'l street,
north of the Central depot, lue large building
was instantly a heap of ruins, so great was the
sliocK. the tires irom tue interior ot the dis
tillery were Instantly communicated to the tim
bers of the building, and at last accounts the
whole was a mass of flames.
A considerable number of men were employed
on the premises, of whom several were killed
and others were wounded.
The information we have comes in brief dee
patches sent to Mr. Kuapp at the Central depot
by tho operator at Buffalo. He describes the
explosion and crash as fearful, ana says the
wildest excitement followed the explosion, it
was the boiler, of course, that exploded. It was
at Cr6t understood that four or live were killed
outright and a erreat number wounded. A later
report eavs that a greater number were Kiiioa
limn at first supposed, tine man was thrown
fifty feet from the building by the explosion.
A later despatch says two men have just been
got out. 1 tie timbers ot tne uuiiutng are an on
lire. The police are trying to get out more of
me men.

question in the following letter:
Saainaw City. Sent. IT. A. F. Ji. Cialeu. J-Uq..
near bir: mere is no issue between tue political
parties In respect to tariff or free trade. Consider
ing the Ci Verne local interests of the country, it is
diit'.cult to conceive how any national party can
exist which is pledged to either. In this Congres
sional district, no (arty opposed to tariif can ever
hope to succeed, nor ought such a party to suc
ceed. It is a manufacturing district; it
has such maunfactuiing luterebts, aud
vields such pronuctlous for manufacture,
there can be no doubt that all parties should, aud at

protection by high duties on rompetitory imports.

The Political Troable In Alnb m.
Montgombkt, Ala., Nov. 2,.l. A meeting;
held last night to express indignation at the
c ursc of W. II. Smith and Arthur Bingham in
refusing to vacate tho oflices of Governor and
Treasurer was very largely attended. All the
speeches were made by Republicans, the princi
pal speaker being Judge Morse, the 'defeated
Republican candidate for Attorney-General.
He Bald the election was a fair and peaceful
one, and that he bad already turned over hi
office to hU successful Democratic competitor,
and that he did so because he was entitled to it.
He denounced the act of locking the wheels of
Government as a hlgh-handcd usurpation.
Several Republican members of the Legisla
ture also spoke in condemnation of Smith and
Bingham.
Mr. Graham, Republican member from Perry
county, offered resolutions, which were adopted,
expressing the indignation and disapprobation
of the people at the course taken by Smith and
Bingham.

Important to Fruit Jroer.
Despatch to the Annotated Prtu.
Washington, Nov. 29 The Commissioner
of Agriculture has just received from the Im
perial Botanical Gardens o! St. Petersburg a
collection of Russian apples, embracing abont
four hundred varieties in duplicate. These are
well provided with grafts, which will be at once
distributed to nurserymen and others who de
sire to experiment with and propagate from
these promising acquisitions. For the Northern
and Northwestern States this is one ot the most
valuable fruit introductions that has ever been
brought into this country, and will be fully ap
preciated by pomologlsts.
The Mexican Claim.
In- the cases of Wexel and Dcgres versus
Mexico and C. II. Gosch, recently rejected by
the United States and Mexican Claim Commis
sion, the ground of rejection was that the
cluim has lis origin subsequent to the 1st of
February, 1800, the date of the ratification
of tho convention under which the commission
acts, and the decision is based ou the ground
that the commission has no jurisdiction of
claims arising after that date.
A statement widely published thit the com
mission will not entertain claims file i after the
1st of February, 180U, is erroneous.
