Terrible KUrtlsn Rluli in Baltimore, Rai.timork, Nov. 4. This city was the wene of continued and violent rioting during the afternoon and evening. At tbo Eighth and Second Ward polls the riot was intense. A fierce engagement took plnre botweeu the Democrata of the Kifrhth Ward and the Americans or the Sixth end Seventh Wards. Each party were provided with muskets and cannon, and the lipht was kept up for over two hours. Some fifty persons wore wounded, including a Dumber seriously. ' Important tram the Mexican Frontier The Heeulation In Active Pragma. Wo learn from Corpus Cbristi Nuecos Yal ley, of the 18th instant, that two citizens of that place had arrived at home from the Rio Grande, bringing intelligence from there up to the 11th. He condense the following from the reports of these gentlemen, as pub lished in the valley. Viduurri. at the bead of three thousand troops, marched from Monterey upon Mier, and entered the town without any resistance being offered by Gen. Ourza, the commander of the Government forces, who retired to Ca iii u ; go and fortified himself there. This place is situated about three miles above the ltio Grande City, on the opposite side of the riv-i-r.' Garza has here ubout thirteen hundred men. Being in posesoiun or Mier, VMaurrl was enabled to raise the money necessary fur car rying on the campaign, by collecting the du ties on the duties on the campaign, by collec ting the duties on the goods imported itito the county. He then, at the .head of his ar my, marched on Camargo. Arriving before this place on the 9lh, he sent a despatch to Uen. Garza, informing him that unless he sur rendered the town immediately lie would com mence to bombard it. He wus abundantly able to execute the threat, as ho was well provided with mortars, field pieces end how itzers under the direction of Col. Jordan, the officer who mainlv contributed to the victory over Santa A nuu's forces at Sultillo, a yeart ngo last March. Garza sent buck word to linn that ho might go ahead, and immediate ntely proceeded to take measures in defence, .it wus not thought that Garza could main tain himself long, as Vidaurri's forces, not only in point of numbers but iu etliviency, were much superior to his. A considerable number of Americans were among Vidaurri's .troops besides the riflemen of Lampazus, who are said to be the best soldiers in Mexico. Up to tho 11th instant very littlo hud been accomplished on either side, although the bomburdment had been accomplished nn ei ther side, ult hough the bombardment had been in progress two days. Yet it was thought that Gen. Garza could not hold out much longer. Gen. Canales, with a commission from the General Government to take command of Garza's army, had been at Camargo, but the soldiers refused to servo under him, and he had consequently withdrawn to the American side ot the Rio Grando to awuit tho turn of events. The former Governor of Tamaulipas Don Sesns Cardenas, is also on the American aide of the river ; and it said that both him aud Canales will only wail until Vidaurri Iihb tukeu Camargo to join him. , ( THE PROURAMMK OP DISUNION. The great body of the people are so devo ted to tue Union that they are disposed to regard the declarations of such men as Gov. Wise, and Preston S. i!ronks,.witb indiffer ence, if not contempt, . Nevertheless, it is unquestionable that there are in the Stntes a few mad spirits, who would, under certain ciicum3tauces, deliberately urge and advo cate a separation of the confederacy. The Edgefield Advertiser, a South Carolina jour nal, for example, has veutured to submit a program ma as follows! 1st. The Southum Governors are to call their Legislatures together. 2d. The Legislatures are to elect delegates to a Southern Congress. 3d. That Congress to assemble at Millcdge ville, Georgia. 4th. Its first work will be the election of a temporary President. 9th. It will then proceed to form a new Constitution. 6th. A Commission will be forthwith ap pointed to meet a similar commission from the North to divide the public property. If all this be peacefully curried out, the new governments will at oneo go into opera tion, and probably enter into a treaty of some tort, ut the start. If otherwise, we must do the best we can. I3ut no one apprehends either war or any material shock to the busiuess transactions of the world. The New Orleans Bee ventures to suggest various objections. Firstly, "there are sun dry Governors who would not agree to call their Legislatures together. Governor More heud of Kentucky, the Governor of Delaware, and, in ail probability, the Governors of Ma ryland and Tennessee, would object decided ly to the proposed course. Consequently, the Southern Congress, which is meet at Mil ledgeville, would be but an imperfect repre sentation of the slaveholding States. Sec ondly, the commissions North aud South would fail, to agree ; tho North wouid object strongly to a division of tho iiublie property, and would monopolize all it could grub. Thirdly, the process of negro steuling would bo carried out with fifty fold the nrlivity it now presents, ns the North would not be re strained by either constitutional or legal scru ples. Fourthly, this fact, together with the impossibility of bringing ubout Southern una nimity of feeliii;r, would itf.ctualljr inecludo a peaceable dimembeimcut of the Cuion, and' war would be itu inevituolo result. Lastly, there is nut a State south of tho Potomac, with the s:ogle exception of South Carolina, in which thu Disuuionists are not in a mi nority. Hence, they would be defeated in their treasonable ami wicked purposes, be youd the shadow of a doubt."

The following singular circumstance Is re corded by I Jr. I'loT, id In natural History of Oxfordshire. ' In the year 1C50. Anne Green, a servant of Sir Thomas Rfad, was tried for the mur der ot her new born child, and round guilty, She was executed in the court yard . at Oxford, where she hung about half an hour. tieing cut down. Bha was put into a cotim, and brought away to a house to be disserted, where, when they opened the coffin, notwith standing the ropo remained unloosed and straight about her neck, tucy perceived her breast to rise,, whereupon one Mason,; a tailor, intending only an act of charity, set ins loot upon her, and, as some say, one Ornm, a soldier, struck her agaio with the batt end of his musket. Notwithstanding all which, when the learned and eminent Sir William - Perry, ancestor of the present Marquis of Landsdowne, then Anatomy Pro fessor of the University, Dr. Wallis und Dr. Clark, then President of the Magdalen Col lege and Vicc-Chanccllor of tho University, came to prepare the body for dissection, they perceived some small rattling in her throat; they preseutly used means fo' her recovery by opening u vein, laying her in a warm bed. and also using divers remedies respecting her senselessness, insomuch that within fourteen honrs she began to speak, and the next day talked and prayed very heartily. During the time of this her recovering, the officers con cernetl in her execution would needs have bad her away again to have completed it on her; but by . the meditation of tho worthy doctors aud some other friends with the then governor of the city, Col. Ktlsy, there wus a guard put Upon her from all further dis turbance until they had sued out her pardon from the government. Much doubt' indeed arose as to her actual guilt. Crowds of people in the meantime came to seo her. and many asserted it must be the providence of God, who would thus ussert her innocence. After some time. Dr. Petty, hearing she discoursed with those about hor. and sus pecting that the women might suggest unto her to relate something of strange visions and apparitions she hud seen during the time she seemed to be dead, (which they had already begun to do, teiling that she said she had been in a fine green meadow, having a river running round it, and all things tlere glittered like silver und gold.) he caused all to depart from the room but the jieutlemen of the faculty who were to have been ut the i dissection, und a.sked her concerning her si-use and apprehensions during the. time she was hanged. To which she answered, that she neither remembered how the fetters were knocked off, how she weut out of the prison ; when she wag turned off the ladder ; whether any psalm was sung or not; nor was she sensible of any pains that she could remem ber She came to herself us if she awakened out of sleep, not recovering the use of her speech by slow degrees, but in a manner altogether, beginning to speak just where she left off on the gallows. Being thus at length perfectly recovered, after thanks given to God, and the persons instrumental in bringing her to life, and procuring her ua immunity from further punishment, she retired in the country to her friends ut Steeple Burton, wheru.she wus afterwards married, and lived iu good repute amongst her neighbors, having threo children, and not dying till 1659. The following account of the case of a girl who was wrongfully executed ill 17CC, is given by a celebrated French author, us uti instuuee of the injustice which was often committed by the equivocal mode of trial then used in France. About seventeen years since, a young peasant girl was placed at puris, iu the service of a man, who, smitten with her beauty, tried to inveigh) her ; but she was virtuous and resisted. The prudence of this girl irritated the master, and b dtermiiied on tevelige. Hu secretly conveyed into ber ijua man tliM.oo i.r.i.o.ging t l, in', marked with his name. Jio then exclaimed thut he wus robbed, called in a commissaire, (a ministerial officer of justice.) and mndo his deposition. The girl's bos was searched, aud the things were discovered. The unhappy servant wus imprisoned. She defended herself only by her tears ; she hud no evidence to prove thut she did not put the property in her box ; and her only answer to the interrogatories was that fhe was innocent. The judges had no suspicion of the depravity of the accuser, whose station was respectable, and they aduiinis tered the law iu all its rigor. The innocent girl was condemned to bo hanged. The dreadful office was effectually peril rmed, ns It was the iilSt uttcmpt of lliei-c D oflliechiel executioner. A surgeon had purchased the body for dissection, and it was coaveyed to his house. On that evening, being about to open the head, he perceived a gentle waimth about the body. The dissecting-knife fell from his hand, and ho placed in a bed her whom he was about to dissect. His efforts to restore her to life were effec tual, and at the same time he sent for a clergyman on whose discretion and experi ence he could depend, in order to consult with him on this strange event as well as to have him for a witness to his conduct. The moment the unfortunate girl opened her eyes she believed herself in tho other world, and perceiving the figure of the priest, who had it mu'lied and majestic countenance, she joined her h"Qds tremblingly and exclaimed, Eternal Father, you know my innocence, have pity on me I"" Jn this manner she con tinued to invoke the ecclesiastic, believing, in her simplicity, that she beheld her God. They were long iu persuading her that 6ha was not dead so much had the idea of the punishment and death post-cased lur imagi nation. The girl having Teturned to life and health, she retired to hide herself in a distant village, fearing to meet the judges or the officers, who, with tho dread I ul tree, incessantly haunted her imagination. The accuser re mained unpunished, becuuse his crime, although manifested by two individual wit nesses, was not clear to the eye of thu luw. The people subsequently became acquainted with the resurrection of this girl, und loaded with leprouches the uulhor oi her misery. Tbo art of dentistry is likely to undergo some very considerablu improvements or changes, we should supposo, judging from the various contrivances which have lately been brought forward in connection with its prae. tice. One of these is the iminutacttiring of teeth on the "continuous gum" plan; the teeth are manufactured with one long pivot tho arrangement being such that u greater degree of of strength is obtained, and a bet ter feeling of the tongue. A not her improve ment is that which consists mainly in depen ding with thu use of a metallic plate, and us ing a mineral inuterial in its stead.
