A general attendance of workingmen is requeeted,aa matters of importance to their interests will be discussed by the meeting. - May 20. Mr f. S Cann, r, the „popular Tragedian made his Aril anearance this season on Tuesday night ha Claude Melnotte. He was well received by his old friends, and the play-goers generally, who admire him both on and off the stage. fie appeared last night as the Stranger. To-nighl. Mr Charles takes his Benefit, and if Merit and a curious and attractive bill will draw people to the Theatre, we expect a cram: mod house to-night. Mr Conner appears as Richard on this oeeaeiun• The program ne of the entertainment would take up too much roam in this article, and we-merely call aucatien to the bills of the day. *.agle Grocery Those who wish to purchase Groccri •s urchoice quality for 'Family use, should remember our &cad Stacy Lloyd, Jr., of the E tgle Grocery, Liberty Street. His store is completely stocked with celery article in the Grocery and Prodoc tine. that the market atTurds• lie does businc , 3 oq the eash•prineiple, and goo ds alnasimey cheap See hit , card. The Raixers give their last Concert but one, this evening at Concert Hall. We un derstand that they will introduce sow new and beautiful music, which has not been sung at any of their Corcerts in this city. Concert Hall is more convenient and better adapted to give effect to their singing than Philo Hall; this, in addition to the selection of music for the evening, will make the r n tertainment one of the pleasantest that they have given in mit. city. The Mob.—All the persons engaged in the riot of Saturday night, have male themselves scarce. except Logan. It is' the general opinion that he is innocent of dm charge. He had a little quarrel in the fore part of fte evening with some per eon, which caused some excitement, and which led to the opinion that he was in the riot. McVicker, Fizimons and Ste phenson, cannot be found. We are assured that there were no men engaged in the proceedings of Thursday night; that the boys of from 12 to 17 years of age, conducted the performancra exclu sively. This speaks but little for the fu 4ure benefits of the rising generation of Al legheny; though it relieves the city some what from the disgrace that would be at tached to it, were the guilty ones dtscoy *red to be rm./tried men. Worthy of Note. —There %yen, no strikrs yesterday or day before. Can it be th the f , ver i 3 dyin4 away! or, can the object be accomplished witivtut pro;;e•siorts, mu sic and banners? We hope st. Cold.—Ovezcoats have breu very sud deuly brought law requisition. After a few days of comfortable weather. some of it being a little too warm to be agreeable it has all at once, without prov.ication to•r.e quite cool. "Hard Times," next week.—Ports. moth Post. In Portsmouth you may have the old gentleman next week and the week aster, but he has taken a final leave of Pittsburgh, we rejoice to announce SHOCKING MURDER We are informed, that a constable in Allegheny city, named Bowden,rame to his death yesterday, under the follow ing circumstances. A raftman from up the Allegheny had promised certain credi tors lere that he would pay thern,his debts! this spring in lumber: Yesterday they, learned that he had passed the city with a raft and bad went co down the river.— They employed three constables. and sent them in pursuit—they come ep with the raftman, who had stopped some few miles below, and Bowden was proceeding' to the execution of his duty, when the span picked up an axe and killed him at a iblow. These ate all the particulars we have learned. It is possible that the titot y may be UTltt tic in part or whol'y, and so we hope it will prove to be. The Concerts of Mr Woll, the Blind Harper, at Toronto, was patronized by the Governor General. Cotton and Linen.—lt is stated in an English paper, that twenty years ago, the consumption of linen, for shirting and sheeting, was generally estimated to be double the quantity to that of cotton. Ten fears ago the quantity was about equal. A short time since a shop keeper took an account for three days of the number of yards of linen and of calico; the result pro ved that there was fourteen times the a• mount sold of calico to that of linen. Daring. Robbery.—A man near Cov ington, Ky, was recently robbed of all the Airtime in his house, while he was absent. The villains took the goods to Cincinnati seed left them at an Auction store for sale, Ilidt before they had received the money they were arrested. THEATRE To those who wish to join -an Industrial Association, we recommend the Sylvania, (located in Pike county, Pa.) which is now in complete operation. Young men with small families, or none at all, who are able to purchase one or two hundred dollars, worth uf stock, and who can give good testimonials of character, would be well received at that place. As it is not pos.- bible that the Exchange Company will get into operation for some months, if indeed during the present year, there are many 1 who feel unwilling to wait so long, and 1 ' who - desire to joi an Associ4tion already in the full tide of experiment. The one at Syivania offers greater induceme nts t h an any other within our knowledge, Many mechanics in the Eastern cities, who have been out of employment fur a long time, are directing their attention to the country, where they hope tp obtain small cheap farms. This is the surest way of getting along, and it, is a happy thing (or them who have the means of doing it. mr[Ro We are indebted to Mr Geor , Te R Crit • tender), son of the [loll J J Crittenden, one of the Texian prisoners in Mexico, who arrived in this city yesterday, by way of Havanna, in the steam-hip Alabama, for the following valuable intelligence: Mr Southall. bearer of despatches to 111exico, anived at Vera Cruz when :%fr Critt e nden left.
