IRELAND.
., Distress and Distaft.
The fearful state of affairs in Mayo is most
painfully exhibited in the following state
ment, which appears in the Mayo Constitu
tion : "During the quarter sessions of West
port we witnessed scenes which we believed
no state of misery or euffrring could have
brought about. It was that of hearing seven
teen unfortunate creatures convicted of va
rious crimes, imploring of the court to trans
port them from their native country, as their
only refuge from the horrors of death from
hunger."
Th Cholera. Superadded to the nffiic
lions that have fallen upon the devoted pro
vinces of Connnught, the present epidemic
seems to have set in there wilh far more fa
tal effect than in any other portion of the
kingdom subjected to the visitation. The
Accounts from Bullinrobe, in 'the county of
Mayo, continue to be of a most distressing
nature, the disease sweeping the people off
by scores each day, while the cases of re
covery are so few as to be scarcely worth
mentioning. The pestilence has also broken
ut with great virulence in the workhouses of
Ballinasloe.
FRANCE.
It is said that M. Napoleon Bonaparte has
been recalled, or rather dismissed from Mad
rid. Certain it is, that he was known to be
on his way to Paris. M. Napoleon is repor
ted to have protested sigainst the suicidal
intentions of France in the affairs of Rome.
The Journal des Debats announces that the
French Minister at Turin has been instructed
by his government to reject the terms of
peace attempted to be enforced by Marshal
Radetsky. It odds that orders have been
forwarded to the Sardinian Admiral Albin to
remain in the Adriatic until tho existing dif
ficulties have been removed. In the Assr-m-bly,
on tho 23d, the bill for indemnifying the
proprietors of slaves in the French Colonies
passed its second reading- The bill allows
six millions of francs in the 5 per ct. rentes
And six millions of francs in money one
eighth part of the six millions of rentes which
goes to the Colonies of Guadaloupe, Martini
que and tho Island of Bourbon, is to go to the
establishment of a Hank in turn of these
colonies. The silting of tho 21th was entire
ly occupied in considering tho bill introduced
by Gen. Lammorricier for the organization
of tho army. He pioposcs to abolish drain
ing by conscription and to mako every one
liable to military service, M. Frapold, the
envoy extra of tha Roman Republic, has pre
aented a protest to tho Government against
the expedition to Civita Vecchia. He de
clares that his Government was willing to ac
cept the French Government on the 12th.
The only answer he got was that France
could not negotiate with what did not ex
ist ; that Rome, so far as France was con
cerned, was the Pope ; that Fiance interposed
an order to prevent too violent a revolution
in order that the principal of separation might
be applied as largely as possible in the ad
ministration of the Slate.
The Government has appropriated five
hundred thousand francs to guard against the
spread of the Choleia. During the last six
months the Cholera has attacked fourteen
departments and fallen on 4500 persons
2S00of whom have died. In 1832 the cho
lera raged in 70 departments, and also lost
18,000 inhabitants. Cholera cases are disap-
pearing in the hospitals at Paris The num-
ber of new eases reported from tho 20th to
the 33d instant, amount to 187.
DENMARK AND PRUSSIA.
Tho town oi Koling, which lies about a
mile and a half from the frontier of Scliles
wig And ten from the frontier of Fredsupa,
was taken by the Schlcswig troops under
Gen. Borin, on the 20ih inst., fighting con
tinnally for many hours in the streets before
thsj town was evacuated by the Danes. The

Ascertained that step have been taken to in
duoe Leopold, king of the Belgians, to act the
part of mediator. Whether he will or not
Accept this office is riot yet known, the last
accounts were that the Dunes were assem
bling in Urge numbers on the heights beyond
Kalding.
PRUSSIA.
It was rumored at Berlin, on the 17ih, that
tho king of Prussia hod determined to accept
ths imperial crown, on condition that the ac
ceptance of the constitution should be sus
pended until after its revision at tht sitting
of the Chambers on the 22J. A resolution
accepting tho constitution as it stands was
strongly opposed by Count Brandiuburg in
the name of tht government, alleging that
the alteration made on the 2d reading at
FrAokfort rendered it impossible for Prussia
to Accept it unconditionally : tha resolution
was, however, carried by majority of 179
to 190. r .

ITALY.
The latest newt from Leghorn announces
the embarkation of the republican chief and
the approach of the Tuscan reactionary troops
to that city. The authority of the Grand
Duke appears to have been established eve
rywhere in Tuscany, except from Leghorn.
There the people have shut the gates, barri
caded the streets, and expressed a full de
termination to defend the town to the last
extremity. . Avezzana has arrived at Rome,
for which city the legion of Garibaldi is in
full march to protrct it against the French
entering Rome. The provisional government
will retire to Ancona. .
SARDINIA.
There is an interruption of the negotiations
between Sardinia and Austria as cariied on
at Milan between the envoys sent to nego
tiate a treaty. The condition required hith
erto by Austria were such that Piedmont
could not listen to. They were 1st. The
joint occupation of Alessandria after she
should have reduced her army. 2d. The
payment of 226 millions, equal to 5,000,
000. 3d. That King Victor Emanuel should,
of his own authority, modify the statutes in
respect to the law of election, and put down
the liberty of the press in a word violate
tho Constitution which he bad sworn to a
few days ago. These conditions, especially
the last, rendered it impossible to make any
advance on the pending negotiation; but
suddenly Austria has altered her tone, and
her plenipotentiary has directed the plenipo
tentiary to adjourn negotiation for a fortnight
and then convene a Congress nt Verona, to
which France and England will be invited to
send agents. It is suspected that tho cause
of this desire is th.it Austria wishes to gain
time to send 30,000 of her Italian army to
assist her forces in Hungary. The Piedmon
teso Ministry have already directed that the
provisions and armament of Alessandria
should bo continued with the utmost ac
tivity, and that a camp of 40,000 men
should be formed under the protection of
the cannon of the fortress, and of the line
extending between it and Geneva. They
have now given fresh directions to the War
Department to prepare for the immediate re
sumption of hostilities, as for an event likely
to crush the Sardinian fleet in the Venetian
waters.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY MORE TRI
UMPHS OF THE HUNGARIANS.
Tho accounts from Hungary are still so
contradictory and confused that it is impossi
bio to judge of the probable result of the
Magyar attempt to relieve Comorn. It is
tolerably obvious, however, from the present
state of affairs in Hungary, that Wiwlisrh-
gratz has been attempting more than hi
armv was competent to undertake. He has
been at once beseiging Comorn and Szcgedin,
blockading Peterwaradin, detaching tioops
into the extremities of Upper Hungary, and
trying to make head against the Magyars in
front of Peslh
It is stated that on the 3d instant the Aus
trian army placed itself in a line of attack,
extending from Gydollo to Hatvan and Cze
gled. Their left wing, nt Hatvan, was com1
manded by General Schlick, and their right,
nt Czeglcd, was under Jellachich, and the
centre was commanded by field-marshal the
Prince Windischrntz in person. The Hunga
rian army opposed them in n line, which ex
tended even beyond the wings of their cne
my. They hud Dcmbinski in the centre
Georgey on the left, and Vetter on the right
wing, the imperialists mustered 50,000
men, and the Magyars 90,000. From the
2d to the 6;h, a sanguinary battle took place,
in the course of which the imperial army re'
treated to the very walls of IVsth.
The Hungarian General Dembinski's report
to M. Kossuth, dated from his head-quarters
to Gydollo, of the 7th April, after alluding to
a certain battle at Erlau, describes the re
treat of the Austrian army from Gyongyos to
Peslh, and states that the imperial rearguard
attempted at Gyongyos to protect the flight
of the Austrian army, but that the first at
tack of the Magyar troops threw it upon the
bulk of that army, and that 16 pieces of ar.
tillery, 2 standards, 21 wagons of ammuni
lion, and 1200 prisoners were taken by the
Hungarians. Another battle took place at
Gydollo on the 6th inst., in which 8 Austrian
battalions, for the most part Croats, were
routed and 26 cannons, 7 standards, 38 wa
gons of ammunition, and 3200 hundred priso
ners were captured. General Dembinski
states the loss of the Anstrians in killed and
wounded, at 6000, and that of his own party
at 2000
The statement that the Hungarians had
taken Waitzen has been confirmed, as has
also the report that the Austrians had re-taken
the place.
By an imperial order a reserve corps of be
tween 22,000 and 25,000 is to be formed and
posted in the MarchnVld, near Vienna, and
second, of about 15,000 men, in the neigh-
borhood of Peltuu, in Lower Styria. They
are both to be completed by the 10th of next
month. It is also reported that a third re
-o vui(j ui au,uuu men is to be formed in
Bohemia, near Budweis.
The Voss Gazette states that 40,000 Ru
sians have entered Moldavia by the Bucko
wine. They bring the answer of the cabi
net of St. Plersbnrg to that of Olmutz to the
question on what condition Russia would
place her diplomatic and material resources
at the disposition of the Austrian Govern
ment. It is said that the abandonment of
Austria of all influence in the Duriaubian
principalities U the price demanded by Rus
sia for her service.
According to accounts from Vienna, of the
20;n inst., the new commander of the Aus
Irian army in Hungary, Baron Welden, ar
rived At Peslh on the 16th inst, It is stated
that General Welden will offer a free pardon
to all the Hungarian officers ho shall leave
M. Kossuth's standard, and that a pecuniary
reward will given to all th deserters from the
Hungarian camp.
It is rumored in Paris that a murderous en
gagemenl had taken place under the walls of
Comorn, in which Glorgey had defeated the
Austriant and raited the tiege : that the Aus
trian had evtcuated Peslh, and that the
-' ,; i
Hungarians were under tho walls of Vienna.
It was reported at Vienna, on the 18th, that
an insnrrection had broken out At Cracow.
It appears that the insurgent General Bern,
before leaving Cronstadt and Hermanstadt,
pallisaded those two placet in A manner that
would enable tho Szeklert (the artisans of
the Magyars) to hold out for a long time
against the Russians in case the latter should
return to Transylvania It is admitted, even
by some of the Vienna journals, that the above
General maintains strict discipline amongst
his troops.
Up to the 19th inst., slight skirmishes still
continued in the vicinity of Peslh, between
the Imperialists and the Magyars the latter
retiring each time to the adjacent heights.
On the 18th, Baron Welden, the new commander-in-chief
of the Imperial forces, was
at Gran, and early the next morning the or
der was given to march towards Waitzen.
The insurgents were to be attacked on all
points in the course of the 19th, so that im
portant Intelligence may be soon looked for.
In fact, it is already asserted by the Vienna
correspondent of the ConstitutionelleZeilung,
(writing under date April 20, o P. M ) that
the Hungarians were totally defeated near
Grnn, their loss in prisoners alone being 2000.

DREADFUL RIOT lt NEW TORE. ,
MILITARY CALLED OUT 1
Blsadsksd aaa Lm el Life.
!0 Penom Killtd and tS Wounded.
Great annimosity has for a long time been
existing between the friends of the two ac
tors, Macready and Forrest. Macready hav
ing been engaged to play at th Astor Place
Opera House, appeared on Wednesday even
ing, and an attempt was made by th friends
of Forrest to drive him ofTthe stage. Rot
ten egg were thrown at him, chairs were
hurled from the gallery, and the whole thea
tre was in such an uproar that not on word
of the parts could be heard. It was announ
ced that he would play at the same place on
Thursday evening, the 10th inst., in the char
acter of Macbeth. At an early hour the
house was crowded from gallery to pit, and
the appearance of Mr. Macready, greeted
with cheers by one part of the audience, and
groans and hisses by the other. It was soon
apparent that Macready's friends were in
the majority, and the arrest of those creating
the disturbance was called for, and promptly
made by the police. Those arrested were
confined in one of the rooms of the theatre,
where they made an attempt to fire the build'
ing. This being discovered, they were placed
in irons. At this time the press of the crowd
on the outside to gain admittance was so great
that all the doors were obliged to be closed.
The Mayor of the city having been informed
early in the evening, that there was a proba
bly of a disturbance, took measures to pre
vent its occurience. A large body of police
was called out, and orders issuod to Major
Gen. Sandford, to hold a number of troops in
readiness sufficient to quell the outbreak.
SCENC ON THE Ol'TSIDE.
Before 8 o'clock an immense mob had
collected in front of the Opera House, to the
number of from 15 to 20 thousand persons.
They were greatly excited and, having torn
up the pavement, commenced an attack upon
the building with stones and other missiles.
Though the windows were strongly barrica
ded, they soon yielded to the furious as
sault and were demolished. The audience
were now exposed to the stones hurled
through the breaches and a number were se
verely injured. At the same time an attack
was made by the mob upon the doors, which
was with great exertion repelled by the strong
police force. The house was now surround
ed by the enfuriated multitude and cries
were made to burn the building. It wasevi
dent the police were not strong enough and
must soon give way. At this moment a com
pany of dragoons were heard coming rapidly
up Broadway. As toon as they came up to
the mob, they were ansa i led by a volley of
stones, several were severely wounded, and,
the horses becoming unmanageable, they
fell back in disorder iion the seventh regi
ment of Infantry which now advanced and
took a position in front of the Opera House.
The tumult had reached its height. Inces
sant volleys of bricks and paving stones were
hurled upon the military. Gens. Sandford
and Hull were repeatedly struck, anil at one
volley ihe whole of the front rank were
struck down, orders were given to charge,
but the rioters seized the musketsand wrench
ed them from the soldiers. The sheriff and
Mayor were upon the ground. The riot act
was rend and tho mob ordered to disperse;
their answer was ano'.her shower of stones.
The oflieers frequently asked for orders to
fire, stating that their men were being killed
and that unless orders were given they would
retire. The Mayor refused to give them,
and retired to the New York Hotel.
Unable to bear the fury of the mob, the
sheriff gave the order to fire. Gen. Hall, at
the same time saying to his men "fire over
their heads." The rioters seeing no one in
jured by the discharge, cried, "ihey have
only blank catridges; give it to them again,"
and a fresh shower of missiles was poured
upon the military. Again the order to fire
was given, with Ihe direction ,:fire low."
This was obeyed, and the soldiers then
charged upon the mob who gave way, but
rallied again at the corner of Lafayette Place.
Here they received another volley from the
military and were dispersed. Twenty of the
mob were killed and upwards of twenty
wounded j some dangerously. An old man
wus shot as be was getting out of the cars.
One woman wus struck in the side by a mus
ket ball. Two cannons were then brought
up by a detachment of the Opera House. Mr.
Macready made his escape in disguise, and
went to Boston.
FRIDAY.
On Friday a large meeting was held in the
Park, by those opposed to peace and in favor
of the rioters. The notorious Capt. Rynders,
made a violent speech, denouncing Macready
and the city authorities. He wus followed
by Mike Walsh, who exhausted the vocabu
lary his denunciation of what he called the
murder of his "innocent fellow citizens."
NIGHT SCENE.
The mob again assemble in the evening,
in front of the Opera House. The military
appeared in force, cleared the space and
formed in battle array. The mob made a
series of attacks upon them with stones and
slung shot. A number of the officers and
men were severely wounded. The police
made numerous arrests and succeeded iu dri
ving the mob from the ground.
The troops behaved with great gallantry.
They did not fire although for a long time
exposed to th furious onset of the mob.
All is now quiet. The mob has dispersed
The military are in possession of the street.
All are dismissed except four companies.
The Cholera at Cincinnati. Quite a
panic prevails iu that city, in consequence of
an increase in the number of cholera eases,
although the epidemic yields to medical treat
ment, when aid it obtained in time. The

MORE TROUBLE tlf CANADA.

repulsed. They charged again, and met
with a shower of the tame sort, accompanied
with teveral pistol shots. A third attack
was made, when a detachment of dragoons

Election or Jidces. The American Law
Journal for May, 1849, contains an able arti
cle from an eminent member of the bar of
Pennsjlvania, in favor of Ihe proposed
amendment of the Constitution providing for
the election of Judges. The editors of the
Law Journal introduce the article by remark
ing that "when the Judges derive their au
thority immediately from the people, and
can take an appeal to the same paramount
power, the fear of removal by address, for
resisting Legislative usurpations, will no lon
ger exist, and we shall probably hear less of
the validity of retrospective acts destroying
vested rights of Legislative reversals of
judgments without notice to the parties and
of other usurpations of judicial power, under
the new definition of 1W, that it is a rule
postscribed instead of tieing prescribed. It is
a prevalent opinion that Ihe present judicial
tenure has failed to secure either the inde
pendence of the judiciary or the rights of the
people."
Letter from Gov. Bor.cs L. W. Boggs,
at one lime Governor of Missouri, has been,
for three or four years past, a resilient of Cal
ifornia. He is alcalde of Sonora, and has
been engaged in extensive business as a mer
chant. The Independence (Mo.) Kxpositof,
publishes the substance of a letter which has
been recently received from him, by his
son, air. II. C uoggs. II is not ol late dale,
having been written on the SOlh of Novem
ber last, but its contents may serve lo cheer
the hearts of the zoUl hunters now about set
ting out on a long journey. He confirms
most of ihe information received, as to the
richness and extent of the mines; says they
extend over a country eight hundred miles
in extent, and yielding immense quantities
of Ihe dust. He obtained, in a few months.
upwards of $20,000 worth. Everybody gets
gold lhat wants it ; and he says there are no
poor men in California. He tninks about
seven thousand persons are engaged in di

sand of these are from Oregon. Gov. Hoggs
advises his sons in St. Louis to go to Califor

lo advise their relatives mid lneiuls to go

Cholera in the West. From the Cincin
nati papers we learn that during the week
ending May 9lh, ihe number of cases of Cho
lera reported was 114, and deaths 32. Since
that time the telegraph reports show a rapid
increase in the number of cases. At Louis
ville a gnod many cases have occurred, as
well as at Maysville ; but in neither city does
Ihe disease prevail as an epilernic At St.
Louis the increase of morality from Cholera
has been very great. We cannot learn that
the disease exists iu Pittsburg, orat any point
as far east as that. Let us hope the Alle
ghany mountains may prove an effectual
barrier to its progress eastward.
THE MINESOTA TERRITORY.
The Act organizing this new Territory,
bounds it on the North by the British Pos
sessions, East by the State of Wiscon
sin and the Mississippi River, South by
Iowa, and West by the Missouri Rivers. Pro
vision is made for the division of the Territo
ry, if Congress see fit. The government is to
be organized in the usual manner, consisting
of a governor, secretary, and legislative as
sembly. The two former hold office for four
years. The last consists of a council elected
every two years, and an assembly chosen an
nually, on the principle of universal suffrage.
All laws enacted by this body are to be sub
mitted to the U. S. Congress, and if disap
proved, are annulled The Act contains the
usual provisions for a territorial judiciary es
tablishment. The governors' salary is fixed
at 81500, but he receives $1000 additional as
Superintendent of Indian affairs. The salary
of the Secretary and of each of the Judges
is $1800. The per diem of members of the
Legislature is three dollars, and the sessions
are limited to sixty days. The laws in force
in Wisconsin at Ihe date of its admission into
the Union, remain in operation in the new
Territory, until modified by the Legislature
thereof: and the laws of the United Slates,
as far as applicable, are extended thereto.
The legislature is to hold its first sessional
St. Paul, at a time to be named by the Go
vernor, and thereafter wherever it may es
tablish ihe seat of government. The Gover
nor appoints the time and place for holding
the first election of members, as also of a
Congressional Delegate. All subsequent elec.
tions are to be regulated by the territorial
law. The Act appropriate $20,000 for the
erection of public buildings at the seat of
government, and $5,000 for the purchase of
a library.
