NEW FILI lUUSTERISc ECUPpITIC6I WALKEL—We see that lien. Walker, the Ex-Fillibuster, has left Washington for New York. it is whispered that he has been called in by Mart. Wood, to aid in putting down the Albany Board, and that expedi lions are fitting out in the waters of the Chesapeake to assist him in his Undertak ing. Those who pretend to be posted, assert that Wood is to be shot as soon as Corer nor King is conquered, when Walker will assume supreme power, re-establiAt slavery, and put the screws to Vanderbilt. New Jersey is said to be heading a movement for the relief of the oppressed New Yoi•kels, and armed parties have seized the Camden and Amboy Railroad, thus cutting off the enem!'s supplies by the overland route. The English and French will probably send strong naval forces to protect their inter ests in this quarter; but our own govern ment will only station a sloop-of-war off the battery, to be in readiness to receive Walker should the Spaniards succeed in surround ing him. By latest advices the opposing factions were fighting fiercely in the Plaza. "A SUFFERER.'? We. make no apology for giving on our first page, what to some, may be "an old tale." We think it worthy of republi cation and those of oar readers who do not enjoy a laugh over "The Widow Rugby's Husband," are hard to please. We ex tract it from tt work published by T. B. Peterson, who also publishes its elder and more worthy brother, "Simon Suggs." The author Johnson J. Hooper, has only appear ed in these two volumes, and we hare no means of knowing whether he is one ot our "Living American Authors," or not. If he is still no farther South than Alabama, why does not Peterson secure him for ano ther book? We might safely predict a mighty success for such an one. At all events we suggest to Mr. Peterson, the emi nent propriety of uniting the two volumes, and giving Mr. Barley a liberal commis -ion to illustrate thous as they richly de CHB! ZZ - ^Wc desire to call attention to Mr. Brandt's advertisement of his new NATIONAL llorsr., in to-day's paper. In point of pleas antness of location Mr. 8., has an advan tage over all the public houses of the town, and we shall expect to see him liberally patronized by those who seek comfortable summer quarters. his fitting up is neat, and everything looks new and bright. The stabling is ample, and will prove an ac commodation to country customers. Ills re-teurant is too well known to need a no tice: we wish him no better fortune than to attract the same liberal custom above stairs than he has always commanded be low. ACCIDE: 4 tT AT FA I D»l.—On Tues day morning as Mr. Henry Will's ton was about starting for town with a load of ice, the wheel of the cart caught by souu• means in a rut in the road, which runs close by Hershey's dam, and the 'horse, cart, driver and a boy who was with him, were thrown into the water. The entire load of ice fell upon the son of Mr. Will, and he was only rescued from the water, which was sonic nine feet deep, with much difficulty. His companion extricated himself without much trouble, n•.t having fallen into deep water. The Lor.:c, a valuable one, was drowned. LITTLE: DURRIT.—WC hate received from T. B. Peterson, a copy of this new work of Dickens' complete. It would be mere folly and presumption in us, to attempt a criti cism of this book. We can only commend it as containing, much of the author's happi est humor and graceful satire. Many of its characters have taken a position among the shadowy host with which Mr. Dickens has pimpled his reading world, and which con tains very many old friends, familiar to us all, from Sam 1".'ellor down to Poor Joe. Little Dorrit, dear Little Dorrit, M. Blan dois, with his French-English Oaths, hanks the Steam-tug. .John Chirery, the despair ing.. jolly Papa Meagles, and a host of others, are already household names; and calm a share of our love or hate with the old fl lends and foes who have grown up with us since the days of Pickwick. Mr. Peterson has shown praiseworthy enterprise in getting up his various (we are afraid to say how many) editions of Dick ens. lie has them in every style and at all prices. An unlimited supply, of any or all these vatuable novels, and every other new and popular book, can be bad at Saylor Me- Dunald's "Head-Quarters and News-Depot." A ,Naw 1411. Y.—Our enterprising cotem porery of the Reading Gazelle, has stepped forward to supply a want felt in the city of Reading, and appears in a neat daily under the title of Daily Reading Gazelle. We have receivtd the first number, which looks promising,. Ws wish the undertaking every success. NM. We regret to learn that a little son of Mr. .lehn W. Clark, of Marietta. had both his legs broken, on Saturday last, by falling from a pile uflumber, tit Duffy & Co's planing mill BarE Most.Ay.—We think a repetition in the Spy, of the brutal occurrence of Mon day will be readilY excused by our readers; we have no incubation to drag into our columns what is .already sufficiently public. We only record our unhesitating cogdemna tion of the outrage; and express a -hope that the beastly perpetrator may have strict jus tice done him by judge and jury. In,corn mon with most of our citizens, we felt dis gust and humiliation that such an occur rence should make Columbia notoricms.— During the afternoon the scenes in onr streets did not impress us with their solem nity however, and we may be excused for commenting on them, in this connection, with a like seriousness. Naturally much excitement prevailed throughout the town, and upon the 'Home opathic principle, Shi ilia SimiHints, cf.T„ the potentially soothing influence of Cap tain Whiskey was extensively called in to allay the popular fever, and regulate the accelerated beat of the public pulse. Hav ing occasionally, in our profane and youth ful days of iniquity, before we reformed and jcined the pious fraternity editorial, wit nessed the beautifully mollifying effect of an encounter between excited humanity and the "pure corn," we assumed a commanding po sition in the window of our office, and calmly awaited the progress of events. Our patience was not severely tried, for fearful encounters occurred in full sight at averago intervals of tWenty minutes. In our elevated position we enjoyed many ad vantages: first in importance, we were out of all danger of what most disinterested spectators of it free fight nro gratuitously in dulged In, a punched bead, to-wit, from some hero only particular in the size of the man he hits; secondly, we were at that convenient distance, which, while enabling us perfectly to enjoy the beauties of the conflict, would render our testimony in a court of justice muddy in the extreme, and not worthy a summons; lastly, in our unex cited frame of mind, we were able dispas sionately to analyze the emotions of the crowd opposite. and put a market value upon the valor that was upon exhibition.— The prevailing feeling seemed to be an anxi ety; in fact there were tw ) anxieties. Primo, the spectators were anxious, exceedingly anxious to see a fight; as was shown by their pathetic appeals to somebody to "Run in and part them!" "Keep the peace Boys!" "Don't fight, don't fight!" and other equally encouraging remarks. Then the combat- Lilts were anxious, nay solicitous, not to come to blows. Their sentiments were be trayed by vociferous adjurations, addressed to their friends, of "Don't hold me!" "Let me at him!" "I can lick him the best day he ever saw!" with the accompanying "fix ins" of "tall cussing" usual on similar pa cific occasions, which, feeling our entire inability to do it anything like justice, we reluctantly omit. The excitement was kept up into the small hours, but so eminently peaceful and creditable to the law-and-order disposition of the community were the fraternal little conflicts which from time to time took place, that out of some fifty fights occurring be tween high noon and next morning, not one even resulted in a black eye. How beautifully the spirit of civilization and liberty spreads its emollient and heal ing oil of peaco upon the troubled waters of popular excitement. With only some ton or twelve hours (intermitted) fighting the citizens dispersed of their own free will. Behold the delightful workings of our lib eral and happy institutions. In communi ties less favored than our own, usurping and iron-heeled law would have turned loose its physical-force myrmidons upon the peaceful assemblage of the "free and en lighted." Blood would have fioWed, and a pacific people been deprived of its innocent little ebullition of feeling. Here, on the contrary, no authority attempted rash in terference; every man was allowed to assert his own rights; and, if he were big enough, and struck straight and hard enough from the shoulder, maintain them. The refresh ing spectacle was presented, of a considera ble portion of an enlightened community making one disgraceful and serious assault the pretext fur an afternoon and evening's ridiculous free fight. R10T1343 iv Now Yong.•--By the dailies we learn that the rival authorities, State and City, in New York, have come into col lision, and that there has been considerable rioting with some bloodshed. The immedi ate trouble arises from the appointment by the Governor, under a late act of Assembly, of a Street Commissioner, which office has also been filled by the councils, thus crea ting rival claimants. This, however, is merely an excuse for what has been ex pected for some weeks, a conflict between the metropolitan (appointed by a commis sion holding authority from Governor King) police, and the old city, or Mayor Wood's police. The contest seems to be entirely political, and the ill feeling between the two parties is very great. On Tuesday Mr. Conover, Street Commissioner, appointed by the Governor, Was elected from the Com missioner's room by Mayor Wood's police. An attempt was then made by a body of the metropolitan police to arrest Mayor Wood and Sheriff Willett, for assault and battery on Mr. Conover, when the rival police for ces met, and a serious riot in the Park was the result. The metropolitans were beaten back from.the City Hall, and one of them, Captain Bilks, is reported mortally woun ded. The Mayor was afterward arrested, and gave bonds. The troops have been tin der arms at their armories, and Gov. King had been telegraphed for to Boston, where he was attending the Bunker hill celebra tion. The latest news represent the city as free from rioting, but the excitement con tinues. BooKs AT Arcriox.-51osqrs. E. P. R. .1.

WAsnmoros.—The president appears to find it difficult to govern the Mormons. The latest intelligence is, that Ex-Gov. Thomas, of Maryland, refuses to accept the office of Governor of Utah at any price; and the sole remaining hope of an appointee rests with Col. Cummins, n•ho has already rejected the proffered honor several times. General Walker makes serious charges against Capt. Davis, for having stepped be yond his authority in saving him from the gallows in Nicaragua. Unless the G4vptain had positive orders from our Government to aid Walker, we can see no possible motive fur this interference to defeat the ends of justice; and a severe rebuke, with an inti mation that in future emergencies of a simi lar character he had better mind his own business, should be promptly admibisterecl by the - Secretary of the Navy: SEAMLESS METALLIC TEIRES A specimen of metallic tube has been hand ed to us for etamination, which, to all ap pearances, is destined to entirely supersede the present style of tubing used for gas-fix tures, steam condensers, &c., &c. It is true as a rifle barrel; and no-where presents the appearance of a joint or seam. It is manu factured at Part Morris, ten miles from New York. The patent is an English one, owned by American capitalists, who pro pose making a joint stock concern for the purpose of selling the rights for Great Brit ain and this country. The representative of the owners of the patent is Abm. L. Cox, Germantown, Philadelphia. 11 G:7 OFF.—Tho Express Freight, of Tues day morning last, going westward, about 1 A. M., while being pushed through town, caused considerable destruction among the fences and telegraph poles. The front car got off the track, and before the accident was discovered, the train was pushed about a quarter of a mile, the cars making a clean sweep of all obstructions, and giving the "Prince of Telegraphic Operators" a small job the ensuing day. TIM LAST RUN OF SitAn.--The past week's rains has raised all the streams above, and quite a number of our spring customers, the North Branch Yankees, made their well soaked appearrnce on IVednesday even ing last. These will probably be the last of the season. g The /ate comet, that didn't come to time last Saturday, has furnished ample material for newspaper paragraphs, and we accordingly find our exchanges filled with jubilations over the dead failure. Among the hits re think the following, from an article in the Philadelphia Sunday Despatch, describing the collision as actually having taken place, bears about as hard upon some of the powers of earth as upon the pyro technic defaulter; and is deserving of special notice: At the Bulletin office there were destroyed a bundle of letters from Simon Cameron; a synopsis of the new German opera (to be produced next week at the Academy) enti tled "Ein Lager Lint Zwei Preteeln;" an interesting piece about "Crinolines," illus trated by reference to the experience of the writer in France, Germany, England, Rus sia, Turkey and Libbria; with a local article giving the history of an old house ins back alley, which was once looked at by an aged Quaker who had an uncle that had seen a man who knew the great-grandson of Win. Penn. The Daily 2Celos suffered awfully by the deptruetion of an article about “The Jes uit." Latest from Europe ENGLAND. Lord Palmerston has intimated to the House of Commons his intention to submit a bill for abolishing church rates.

She would then proceed to Birkenhead and commence receiving the cable. Nine hundred miles of the cable have already been completed. The process is going on slowly, owing to the impossibility of getting the wire made fast enough. The Agamemnon would commence reeling the cable on the 10th of July. All the ca ble vessels will rendezvous at Cork Harbor, where the final arrangements will be per fected. The war steamer Cyclops is now taking soundings along the proposed deep sea route. The cable will be laid in August next. FRA`SCP: The rumored attempt upon the life of the Emperor of France, at the recent artillery muster, is reiterated with several corrobo rative incidents. All Engligh papers men tioning the affair aro intercepted at the French Post Offices. 122112 Advices from Madrid say that the negoti ations relative to the Mexican question, have been postponed until the arrival of the Mex ican mail, due early in June. If that mail brings intelligence of chastisement hewing been inflicted upon delinquents, a favorable turn will he given to the question. Other wise, if not, the correspondent of the Lon don Times says, it is feared the question presents very serious difficulties, not so near settlement as is supposed.

Mr. Apple ton is a young man, and was ordained dur ing the sitting of the late Convention at Philadelphia. He is spoken of as a gentle man of fine talents and possessing, in an eminent degree, that self-sacrificing spirit of the christian missionary zeal which is so highly requisite for the field in which he is about to labor. Those who know him in timately assure us that this young and pros perous congregation have been exceedingly fortunate in securing his services.

The vignette represents two females floating in the air.— It purports to have been engraved by W. L. Windy. VOLTAIRE ON THE COW:T.—Apropos to the comet question, a Paris paper publishes the following extracts from a letter of Voltaire, dated Grenoble, May 17th, 1773: "Some Parisians who are not philosophers, and who, would they believe it, never will be, have informed me that the end of the world is at hand, and that it will undoubt edly occur in the latter part of the present month. They expect that a comet will strike our little globe and grind it to imper ceptible powder, according to a certain pre diction of the Academy of Sciences which was never made. "Nothing is more probable than this event, because Jacques Bornouilli, iu his treatise upon the comet, predicted expressly that the fiunons comet of 1080 would return with a terrible crash on the 17th day of May, 1719. He assured us, indeed, that his [the comet's] wig signified no harm, but that his tail was aninfallible sign of the wrath of Heaven. If Jacques Bornouilli was mistaken, it could not have been a matter of more than fifty four years and three days. 'Now an error so inconsiderable being regarded as nothing in the immensity of ages, by all mathematicians, it is clear that nothing is more reasonable than to look for the cud of the world as early as the 20th of the present month of May, or in May of some other year. If it does not come this year, that which is deferred is not lost.' The letter concludes thus:-- "James Pudding., who predicted en earth quake at London in 173 G, and the destruc tion of the city, did not bring any doubtful comet into his cause; and the affrighted populace left the city upon the day designa ted by the magician. "But the Parisians will not desert the city on the 20th of May. They will sing, and enjoy the comet and the end of the world at the comic opera!" How OLD BILLY G. WAS BAPTIZED.--TOOT people have a hard time in this little world of ours. Even in matters of religion there is a vast difference between Lazarus and Dives, as the following anecdote sent us by a friend, will illustrate:—Old Billy G. had attended a great revival, and, in common with many others, ho was converted and lAp tised. Not many weeks afterwards one of his neighbors met him reeling home from the court-ground with a considerable brick in his hat. "Hello, Uncle Billy," said the friend, "I thought you had joined the church "So I did," answered Uncle Billy, making a desperate effort to stand still, "so I did. Jeemes, and would 'a bin a good Baptist if they hadn't a treated me so everlastin' mean at the water. Didn't you never hear nbout it, Jeeme , ?" "Never did." "Then I'll tell you 'bout it. You see, when we cum to the baptisin' place, thar was me an' old Jenks, the rich old Squire; war to be dipped at the same time. Well, the minister took the Squire in rust, but I didn't mind that much, as I thought 'twould be jest as good when 1 oum; so he led him in, and after dippin' him un der, ho raised him up mitey keerful, and wiped his face and led him out. Then cum my turn, and instead of lifting me out like he did the Squire, he gave me one slosh, and left me erawlite about on the bottom, like a d—d mud turtie."'

WOOD'S RE , TODATIVE.—Of all the restoratives for the hair that have been invented, Wood's pre-cmi newly chinos tine first place. It will certainly restore the natural color of the hair. if the directions are follow ed for a sufficient length of time. It also has produced astonishing effects in bringing out a growth of hair, where the bead had been previously bald. Wood does not pretend that it will do this in all cases; mid we think his candor is a good recommeoclation of the virtues which his restorative readily possesses. lithe roots of the hair are dent rot cd. no human power can make them grow again; but where there is any vitality left in the root. the restorative will soon renew the hair in all its pristine vigor. It has done this repeatedly where all other rerriedtes hod faded. It is therefore worth while, in all cases In make the experiment.
