Father G. was delivering the second of his course
of Lectures to the free Church, and made the re
mark that Ribbunism had extended the 'nquisition
over Ireland. One in the audience cried out," That's
a lie r upoif which the house was attacked and the
speaker driven from the pulpit with blows.
The lecturer defended himself with great cool
ness and c.iurage, knocking down several of his as
sailants, first with a chair, and afterwards, when
deprived of that, with the pulpit bench, which he
tore up for the purpose.
He was at length thrown from the pulpit by one
of the assailants, who got hold of his leg+ and pitch

floor underneath, when the temper was finally res

The padre was not seriously injured, but his Sec,

Several ladies and gentlemen of the audience
were likewise injured.
A party of soldiers were detatched to the scene.

Important Correspondence.
On our first pace will be lound the Correspon
iletice between Guy Lowe, of Maryland, and Gov.
BIGIAIR, of this Slate, in regard to The requisition for
the apprehension and delivery of Thomas McCrea
ry and James Merritt, cbizens of Maryland. indict.'
eil by the Grand Jury of Cl:ester County for kid
napping, in carrying off Rachel Packer
It is not necessary for us to recapitulate the dr
curnstances of the alleged case of kiilliapping—and
we only propose to direct . attentioil to the corres•
pondi.nce, to show that Gov. flici.rt has endeavor
ed to fulfil his ditty by protecting the persons of our
citizens, and by endeavoring to see the laws exe
cuted. This case has been m axle the theme of
much annimadversion upon the Governot's course.
His conduct has been belied, his actions misrepre
sented, and obloquy and censure has been freely
directed towards him by those who were ignorant
of the true state of the facts. It is but a Jay or two
since, we saw it annourced that the Governor had
withdrawn the requisition in this very case, the in
ference being, that he was conniving at the eseare
from ju.tice of McCreary and Merritt !
Guy. Lowe refuses to corrply with the demands
of he requisition, on the ground that MeCrea-y and
Merritt were acting lawfully as the authorized
agents of the owner Al Eliza Crocus, in whose stead
on account of an extraordinary reseinblance be
tween the two persons, they captured Rachel Par•
ker ; and he also thinks that the accused would not
receive an impartial trial in Chester county, and
therefore feels called upon not to expose them to
that risk unless constrained to do so by the mandate
of the Federal constitution. Guy Bigler, in a long
and able reply, denies the imputation upon the cit
izens of Pennsylvania that a fair trial would not
be had in case the accused were delivered up. He
asserts positively that the inquiry into the guilt or
innocence of the parties concerned, by the Govern_
or of Maryland, is illegitimate and mina horized,
that Gov. Lowe had no right to go behind the in•
dietment of the grand jury of Chester County to
question the facts of the case, his only lawful duty
being to examine the legalby and correctness of the
requisition itself The argument upon this point
by Gov. Bigler is perfectly conclusive ant anon
answetable. He has taken great pains to cite the
most competent authority in support of his position;
and has a;so shown, though not basing his argn
ment upon the tact, that the action of McCreary and
Merritt in carrying OR Rachel Parker, without any
attempt to inderoity her as the person far whom
they were in search, before a United States Com
missioner, as required by the act of Congress, was
in violation of law and sufficient cause to sul ject
them to indictment. Whatever degree of culpabil•
ity may attach to McCreary and Merritt, it is cer
tain that a jury made up of the citizens of the sec
tion in which the alleged offence was committed,
are the only persons who can with any show of le
gal authority proceed to try and decide upon their
case.
We have some curiosity to see how this matter
will end. Gov BIGLER has thoroughl% exposed the
untenable position assumed by his Maryland Ex
cellency,tand will he now :be permitted to totally
disregard the requisition made upon him for per
sons charged with a crime whiCh is regarded as
equally hen ions by the Statutes of Maryland. it is
but another manifestation of that intolerant course
which sets aside all law and comity whenever the
"peculiar institution" is concerned. ‘Ve trust, how
ever, that Gov. BIGLER will maintain the dignity of
the State, and not permit it to be insulted upon
such flimsy pretexts.

THE DROUGHT —Prognostications as to the pro.
babilities of rain, have been decidedly the fashion,
in this neighborhood, tor week pass,- but up to the
present writing the wisest have been " take pro
phets." The heat is intense, the dust multitudinous,
and the parched and thirsty earth, fairly gapes tar
moisture. The fields are becoming brown and the
trees covered with a coating-of dust. We hear the
farmers speculating as to the probable injury al
-ready done to the crops by the protracted drought.

on the state improliments. This is' , 'ltot entirely
correct. 711., •
The facts of ihicase as we tinders and them, are
that by the terms of the last apprhpriation bill, the
Gneinor is authorised - to anticipate, by temporary
loans, the surplus receirs for the years 1?53—'51,
after providing for all ordinary expenses, including
the interest on the public debt. The sum so raised
is to be appropriated towards the the completion of
the North Branch Canal, relaying the north track
of the Columbia railroad, And to the avoidance of
the plahes of the Allegheny mountains. ' Under
this authority tempor.try loans to the ailment of
$475,000 have been negotiated, and not $7OO 000.
The reasons for this measure is very obvious. The
Governor hail taken the position that the State debt
should not be permanently increased for any pur-
pose whatever. That all the improvements now
in progress must be completed from the current
means of the treasury, and that too without disturb
ing the Sinking Fund. the contractors are now at
work, and unless the revenues are anticipated by
temporary loans, no means of payment could be
furnished, as the balance in the treasury could not
be ascertained until the close of the year, arid con.
sequintly the work on 'hest improvements would
be suspended, and their completion, so important
in every way, be postponed Under the present
arrangement we are assured the North Branch Ca
nal will be completed by the fist of October, and
the north track of the Columbia Railroad, under the
direction of the laithlul and indefatigable superin
toi.dent, JOSEPH BAH ER, , will be finished about
the same lime, and be one of the best roads in the
country. Every sight minded citizen ul the State,
not disposed to find fault with everpthing, must
see 'he wisdom and advantages of this policy.
No man in the state understands his financial al.
fairs better than Gov Bigler, and no man has or
will labor with more melting zeal to promote her
true interests. •

(here appears to have been a dearth of news, up
to her day of sailing.
The Turkish question still remainicutisettled,.bui
the chances of a rupture with Russia, have conga.
erably diminished. By the last accounts, Nicholas
has shown some mi.gifings as to his ability of wag
ing a successful war against the Turks. A Courier
has been dispatched from St. Petersburg to Con
stantinople, with a demand that Prince Meneschi
'toffs last proposal should be accepted by the Porte
within eight days, is looked upon as favorable; the
the question is naturally asked, why did not the
Czar on the receipt of the refusal to comply with
his demands, put his beligerent threats in execution,
without betraying that system, temporization anti
hesitation, commenced by Menschikoff, and press
ed by the Emperor himself! If he had been so
desirous of pickiug a quarrel, there would be no
use to prolong these preliminaries, and the Court
of St. Petersburg cannot be ignorant that every day
and every week that passes is fin immense loss of
its awn opportunities and influence, while it in
creases the confidence of Turkey in the combined
support of the rest of Europe But this last propo
sal, it appears, is not identical with the Convention
so haughtily demanded on the sth of May; on the
contrary, subsequent to that date, and before leav
ing Constantinople, the Russian Envoy addressed
a last communication to Redschid Pasha,considera•
bly less objectionable in form, yet still not accepta
ble to the Tu.kish Government. The lest of the
European powers sympathize with Turkey, believ
ing that the course pursued by Russia, .as arrogant
and aggressive, and inimical to the peace and quiet
of the surrounding nations. It is also reported that
Russia is concentrating a large army on the borders,
and the fount army corps had been ordered from
St. Petersburg, to proceed from Wariaw by forced
marches to Bessarabia, a Russian province adjoin
ing Moldavia. The Turks are not idle, but were
preparing for vigorous resistance. The Egyptian
fleet and an army of 30,000 men were proceeding
to the assistance of the Sultan. 100,000 men will
be raised in European Turkey, and 30 of the most
opulent Pashas have offered to raise a free corps
at their own expense. The Clime with the Mufti
at their head have waited on the Sultan to inform
that at the first signal 80,000 sturdy young men
should be at his impose'.
From Switzerland, we learn that the difficulties
between her and Austria through the interposition of
the French minister, are in a fair way of being set
tied .—Fron\taly, we have a somewhat rare ex•
ample of a disagreement between the police au
thorities of Rome and the Sacred Tribunal, with re
spect to the condemnation of some gend'arnies for
causing the death of a young man.
From England the news are unimportant. The
British Government have brought forward their
scheme for reforming the administration of India,
and a very half way poverty-stricken scheme it is,
giving satisfaction to nobody. The papers are
wonderfully silent in regard to the movements of
Mrs Stowe and her party. Corn. Vanderbilt and
his steam yacht, North Star, still continue to be the
cause of a great deal of comment in the English
newspapers. They look upon the Commodore as
a legitimate product of our country ; a man who by
his own enterprize and perseverance has raised
himself to his present position. The yacht is crowd •
ed with visitors, and appeared greatly gratified by
the sight of this magnificent specimen of American
Naval Architectbre. The Daily News states that
the Mayor of Southampton had brought bilfore the
municipal body of that town the propriety of some
public manifestation toward Mr Vanderbilt, on ac
count of his having honored Southampton by se
lecting it as the redezvous of his gigantic steam
yacht.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-4,900 CORDS WOOD BURNED
—The large Wood House belongint, to the N. Y
& E R. It Co., near the Depot in Binghamton,
took fire last Friday night, and way consumed with'
1,900 cords of wood, valued at 6.3 00 per cord. The
cause of the fire is not known, but could easily have
arisen from the sparks of the locomotive. A barri
adjoining the wood house, with a horse in it, and
two small houses and tw., gr at ifies were e l- 0 de
stroyed. The Engine Companies promp-ly repair
ed to the scene: of the conflagration. The fire how
ever, was so far advanced that all efforts to extin
guish it were unavailing.

Mrs. r-, says Dr. Tyler, of delicate constitution,
when nineteen years of age, was Minded wiih a
cough, and her neck was thickly studded with Scrof
ulous tumors. Under the influence of a free use of
a decoction of Rock Rose, she recovered herhealth,
and has not been •athicted with any such symptoms

and proves the wonderful efficacy of the plant Rock
Rose, as a wire for Scrofula.
