Ic Days Later front Raropr,
We have by the Great Western, out film of
Hrktol papers to the Ifiih of July. The most in
terwrting news recorded, !a the sudden death of the
Pile D'Orleans, the Prince Hoy!.
l"h official account publistnd hy the Govern
ment is as follow :
"A dreadful disinter has Cllrn upon the Kinir,
the royal family and France. The Prince Royal m
dead. This morning, at half-past ten, the Duke of
Orleans went to Neuilly, to t ike leave nf the rnynl
family, intending lo ad oir in the evoiiia-r fr the
comp of St, Onier. A shoit distance from Neuilly
the horses run away. The Piince leaped out of the
carriage. He was taken up senseless. One mo
ment there were hopea of saving him, hut the evil
nai hryond nil earthly remedies- At half pa-l
four, nfti r having received the auccora of religion,
the IVince breathed his last, suiroundcd hy the
Kinv', Queen and ryal family, whose grief no
word can express."
The fallowing is a tianslation of (he iclcp.rnphic
de afch which has licen addressed hy the minister
of the interior to I he prefects of the several d. part
nients throughout France:
THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR TO

"The Prince Rnyal has had a severe fall from
hi carriage ; he died from the effects thereof at
half pant four this morning. The King haa boine
this scveic blow wilh hia customary firmnci-a.
Ilia majesty is in good health. What a loss for
France."
From the Gazette de France.
This forenoon, at half pant 12, the Due d'Or
leans, who was about lo art olf for Plonibiercs,
w here the Duchraa is staying at pre cut, was re
luming from Neuilly after having taken leave of hia
family, when in the centre of the Chemin de la Re.
volte, short distance, from the Porte Maillot, the
lior ea ran away in apite of li e efforts of the pos
tillion, and thrie was every icason to fear thai the
carriage would be overturned on the slope ut the
side of the road.
At this moment the duke, lo avoid the danger,
leaped from the carriage ; but unfortunately, hi
spurs, or a some say, hia swor.l, caught his travel
I ng cloak, Thia accident caused him to fall, and
the Prince received some contusions on the temple
nn. I the wri I. A ceiebral contention was occa
sioned hy the chock, and was succeeded hy a tuf-fu-ion
on the brain.
Having fainted in the road, hia Roy d Highness
nan removed lo the nearest house, occupied by a
grocer, and assistance speedily arrivid fiorn the
Tulleric.
Bleeding was resorted to almost imediiitcly, but
the Prince did not recover his consciousness. Dr.
Baumy, happening to be on tho spot, gave every
aesia ance lo Dr. Pasquier, hia Royal Highness'
physician, who had come from Paris.
A clergyman of !St. Philippe du Ronle, and the
cure of Neuilly, were called in; but could only ad
minister extreme unction.
The Prince died at 3 o'clock, at the the house, to
which he had been cairied, No, 4, in the Chemin
de Is Rovolte.
The body was removed to the Chateau du Neuil
ly, and placed in the chapel.
All the Ministers repaired lo Neuilly, as well as
Mureclml Gerard and General Pagot. A Council
of Ministers was held.
The Duke d'Aumnle, who was at Courbevoie, as
soon as he heard of the accident that had hapien
ed set oil in hired cahiiolct. This carriage broke
down on the road, and the Piince was obliged to
con'inue his route on foot lo see his dad or dying
brother.
His Royal Highness prnncceded lo Nancy, and
will go on to Plomhiercs, where the Dutc'.iesa d'Or
lean' ;s staving.
The late Prince had testified the grsalcst pleasure
at his intended voyage, for which great pirpartlions
had been made in the various towns through which
he had lo pass. He was to have taken the com
mand of a camp of 40,000 men butv.hu can cul
. dilate on the morrow.
The Due D'Orleans has a aon four years old,
who according to the succession is now heir a p-
parent. This leaves a jusi apprehension that France j
may have a regency, as the King is now 01) years 1
old.
An aged King and an infant heir seem lo belong j
to the most Irving periods of French his'ory peii- i
oils indeed ii'liuati ly less trying than that which I
awaits ihe country now, for even amidol the dis- ;
turhances and the excesses of former regencies, the !
person of ihe Sovereign was sacred, and the Ira- j
ditional principles of the Royal authoiily were in- ,
violate. At the present time it is needless to en
large on the importance of the highest personal
qualities, the resolution in manhood, Ihe experience
of I fe, and the authority of a mature reason in the
ruler of France. The history of the last twelve
years, and tho character of ihe present King,
suilicieiitly prove that no weaker Prince could have
surmounted thai frightful difficulties of his position.
The lalo l'nke of Orleans was borne at Pal
ermo on the i!d of .September, I 5)10, tdiowing him
to have just reuhced the age of 32 ut his death.
His mother Marie Auudie, the present tjoeen of
ihe French, is daughter of Ferdinand, King of Ihe
Two Sicilies, and whom Louis Philhppe espoused
at Ihe lime he was wandeiiiig abroad a pi a n Duke
of Oil. ans. Tlie departed Duke was one of a
family of stven children, to whom Marie Amelie
has Ih'cu ever warmly allelic d. The Doke du
Nemours, Louis Phillippe's second son, was born I
ut Paris on the 25th day ol October 1814.

Atrocious Murder In Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia papers of Thursday, con
tain an account of an atrocious murder, com
mitted in that city on Wednesday looming last.
The particulars of which are thin given in the
Philadelphia Chronicle.
About 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning, a
well dres.cd person, arrived in this city by the
night train of cars from Baltimore, and stopred
at Sanderson's Franklin Hotel, registering his
name as 'A. Smith, Ky.' Tho house being
full, he was told, in reply to his application for
a room, that he could not have one under an
hour. .Jle then told the porter to take cure of
his baggage, and walked out.
About six o'clock, an alarm was given in
Third street above Chesnut, half a square from
the hotel, that a mini hud been murdered ; and
on several citizens repairing to the spot, found
that Mr. I.ougee, a broker, who occupied port
of the office No. 517 South Third street, below
Congress Hall, had been murdered, and that
the murderer had fled. A colored man, who
was passing at the time, saw the perpe
trator emerge from the office with an unsheathed
dagger in his hand, run down Third to IrKiint,
where betook the centre of the 6treet, and cal
led lustily as he rushed along, 'stop him stop
him stop him,' holding in ono hand his hat,
and with it using gesticulations, as if to direct
passers to some person ahead of him , hut be
ing holly pursued, he threw the dirk from him,
which struck a stone and rebounded into a mor
tar bed, in Chesnut below Third street. At
the corner of Second street he dropped his hat,
and though he continued to run, appeared quite
faint his legs evidently refused the duties of
their ollice. He turned down Second and con
tinued to Norris' Alley, through which he ran
to Front street down Front to Walnut, and
turned up Walnut, whero lie finding the door
of a store open, entered, and ran up tho stairs
tothe third story, the door of which being clo
sed, his progress wa9 stopped, and he made
prisoner.
The liody of the murdered man was exami
ned hy several persons while it yet remained in
ihe office; when it was removed to the resi
dence of the deceased, a post murtem examina
tion was had upon it hy four eminent physi
cians, when it was ascertained that the dirk had
entered the left breast, between the third and
fourth ribs, just ubove the nipple passing
through coat, vest, suspender and shirt of the de
ceased, and penetrating the auricle of the heart,
which was the cause of almost instant death.
As there were countless rumors afloat du
ring Ihe day, wc took the trouble to ascertain
the particulars relative to the murderer, and the
causes which had led him to commit the rash
act. His real name is Mii.to.n J. Ai.kxamikh,
and is from Uurksville, Cumberland county,
Kentucky in which county he has relations.
of the name of Alexander, numbering some
three or four hundred.
The reason of his registering his name Smith, '
he gave, ho did not want his real name retr
ied among the list of arrivuls at the hotel, for
fear his father should know where he is, he ha
ving lett his home in consequence of some dis
pute with his family. Alexander, the prisoner,
is only about 20 years and 11 months old, ac
cording to his own statement. He hits not once
denied the murder, but frequently conversed up
on the circumstances with great freedom.
When in the custody of the officer, before he
hud obtained counsel, he stuted that he was in
love with n young lady at home, whose parents
would not allow her to marry him, because he
was not rich, and he left home with the inten
tion of getting money, if he had to kill somebo
dy for it. At another timo he said that lie led
the hotel for the purpose of getting uucurreiit
bank notes changed for current funds, and see
ing the office above named open, he entered it
with that intention, and presented his money,
when the broker, lxaigec, pronounced it coun
terfeit, which caused high words, and Iougee,
called him a 'liur,' when he drew the dirk, and
without further thought stabbed him. He also
said that alter he had dirked him, he did not
know what to do; he first thought that he would
Uike hold of him in his arms, but then thinking
that he might bo arrested, he resolved to run
this was all the work of a moment.
The prisoner is a rcmarkuble pleasant and ve
ry respectable looking person, lie is well
known to several of our Market street Mer
chants, having been in this city to purchase
giaxls in 110. His father is also well known
here, and all who speak ofthe family arc euhv
gions than otherwise they all, even the pris
oner, bear irreproachable characters, until, this
meluncholy event, which w ill bo tho cause of
much grief to his aged parents.
Alexander, while in the Police Office, and
previous to examination, asked a gentleman
who had used the name of Mrs. Ijougee, if she
was the wife of the murdered man. To a re
ply in the affirmative, he said 'Tell her, sir,
there is no circumstance in my whole life that
I so much regret as this.'
The prisoner, after being duly examined
before the Mayor, wus committed on a charge
of Mtinh r in the i'irst Degree.
A letter in the Rhone gives particulars of a
whirlwind at Chautfdilcs and its neighborhood
on the '-'Mi ult. Thirty houses were actually
carried away. Six persons of the same fami

were smothered in their cradles, carriages were
carried entire over tho roofs of Itouses, planta

On thia subject we lay before our readers

of adjustment of the Northeastern Boundary qnea-
t on which, we rathei think indeed we may almost
say we knoware calculated to mislead the public
mind. Our knowledge i indeed any thing but
direct, and very far from being official. But two
or three Missions and all their suites, seven Com
missioners and th. ir clerk, are rather too many to
keep a secret Add to these two Delegations, more
or less of whom are understood lo have been con
sulted, and no one will wonder that the terms of
the Boundary arrangement are supposed to be
tolerably well understood here, on the spot, though
not correctly reported at a distance from the seal of
Government. Wc will stale them, therefore, as
we understand them.

The Tariff and AgrtcnHnre.
Il is a great mistake to suppose, aa some do, that
ihe Tariff is designed especially for the benefit of
manufacturer. If protection Is extended to manu
factures, say the manufacture of cotton, wool, iron
or sugar, there ia no monopoly created in either of
these department of industry for the simple rea
son that any number of person who choose may
engage in the production of either of those articles,
the competition among whom must reduce the price
ofthe manufactured article to the minimum.
But in another view it may be seen that protec
tion extended to manufacture, not manufacturers,
iqierates to the advantage of the agricultural inte
rest directly, and to a very material extent. This
will be obvious fiom a glance at the subject.
If the manufacturing industry of our people re
ceives auch encouragement a to induce invest
mentsif the labor and capital of the New Eng-
md 8 iites are di reeled to the manufacture of cot-
ion and wool if Ihe people of Pennsylvania are
induced lo devole their attention, to a considerable
extent, to the manufacture of iron, for which their
natural resources afford su. h abundant facilities
or if the inhabitants of Louisiana are warranted in
undertaking the production of sugar, it is manifest
duclion of breadstuff because when no other oc
cupation hea open lo men, the cultivation of Ihe
earth always atfoids the prospect bf subsistence,
and lo that il may be exacted the general resort
will be had when other sources of gain aie closed.
In so far, then, as the protective system giv.-s en
couragement to diversity of occupations, and rears
up important interests upon the basis of such re
sources as nature has provided, tlieie f.J'ows a two
fold lencfit to the giain growing interest of ihe
Middle and Western States. The number of pro
ducers is lessened by Ihe diversion of much labor
and Capital to manufacturing pursuits, ami, second
ly. He consumers of ugricultuial produce arc mul
tiplied. When manufacture are encouraged in New
Enghmd, the flour of the interior Mates will be de
pended on for subsistence to a considerable extent.
New England wilt not undertake to grow wheat
for the ingenuity and dexterous skill of her people
will find more profitable employment in the various
kinds of manufacture. But if, by a withdrawal of
protection the manufacturing interest is prostrated,
necessity must drive many to Ihe culture of the
oil ; there will be a want of manufactured arti
cles to give in exchange for the flour of the West;
and a considerable portion of the population, for
merly engaged in manufacturing pursuits, will be
induced to emigrate Westward, where they will
become farmers, and contribute to increase the great
mass of agricultural produce, which will thus grow
larger in propoilion as the d mand for home Cin
sumption grows less.
In Massachusetts and Maine, and probably in
other New England States, bounties hr.vr been of
fered of late years for the production of wheal.
This would hardly le the case if the manufacturing
interests of those Stales were assured of permanence
hy the establishment of a stable system for the pro
duction of domestic industry.
The same general principle ia illustrated hy the
facia attendieg Ihe culture of sugar in Louisiana.
When the sugar interest was prnpe.ly protected, Ihe
planters in louisiana were large purcbaseis of corn
and provisions from the Western 8:ates, arid Ihey
paid gieat sums annually to the iron manufactu
rers for their engine, sugar mills, and other artirb s
of machinery, which were mcessary on iheir plan
tations, Bui now, and for some year pa-t, ihe su
gar planter have been obliged to raise corn for
themselves; they cannot afford to buy it ; and in
stead of enlarging their establishments and making
annual purchases of iron works, they find them
selves compelled, in many cases, to give up their
business or to carry it on in a small way so a to
incur as few expenses a possible. It is slated in a
late memorial from the sugar growers of Louisiana,
lhat their investments in lhat business do not yield
more than one per cenU, if so much.
Let us suppose lhat a proper policy of protection
should be established so as lo give pinsperity to ihe
manufacture of New England, building up the
greal iron interest of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir
ginia and other Stales, imparting stability to Ihe
sugar culture in Louisiana, and new life and vigor
lo the growth of hemp in Kentucky and Missouri,
to ihe mining interest of Illinois, lo the culture of
tobacco in the various States in which lhat article
i an important staph; a ho doc not see lhat the
producers of bread stulTs and piovisions would find
belter markets with fewer competitors t A great
iron establishment rising up amongst the hills,
where coal and ore abounded, would constitute per
haps the nucleus of a flourishing village, and alford
a market for Ihe produce of a whole neighborhood
A woolen or cotton manufactory hy the aide of a
rapid stream lurnishing a sutlicient water power.
would be sensibly fell in ihe same way.
We Mine that theac facia are now well enough
understood and appreciated in Ihe country lo render
il certain that the eatablisment of a sound Taiifl"
cannot be much longer deferred. We mean s .
criminating tariff, in which protection will be re
garded for ita own sake, or rather for the sake of its
beneficial result. The cotton growers are as much
interested in it as sny other class for ihe market,
enlarged by such s policy, will become more and
mora important every yesr, with all Ihe advantages
of stability as being free from the influence of fo
reign policy. The South haa had a trial of "free
trade" to some extent already and il baa nol pros
eicd. lis dependence on the British market, in
view of British policy in India, is, lo say Ihe least,
precarious and inleiest and patriotism alike re

' Dreadful rtlot and Bloodahed.
This morning between ten and eleven o'clock, a

From the same of Tuesday.
Wc gave yesterday a hurried account of the of
fay which took place in the forenoon, between
some while persons and seveial societies of colored
people celebrating Ihe anniversary ofthe abolition of
alavery in Ihe Briti-h West Indies. It appears
that the societies paraded with various banners and
other emblems, and that Ihe pictures and mottoes
were such as (o excite much indignation, but it ia
said that they were misundcistood, and lhal in re
ality there waa nothing nn them lhat could leason
ahty have been construed into intention of insult.
The banner which gave most offence, and which
ha been described a having on it words "Liberty
or Death," wilh the lepresenlation of a person
wielding a club or weapon, and a fire in the back
ground, we are assured by a person who saw it he
fore it left the painter's room, had on il Ihe flcuro
of a man trampling on his chains, from wh en he has
juat ls?en released, and pointing to a temple on a
hill, over which was insciilied the words of " Li! er
ly." The fire in ihe distance represented a stave
ship burning;. It is also averred lhat the other ob
noxious emblems weie of Ihe same kind and tenor.
We stated in our last what took place up lo two
o'clock. The excitement increased from lhat time,
and Ihe crowds in the neighboring streets became
frightfully enlarged.
"About four o'clock, (we quote the Pennylvani
an,) two white lads while passing in Bradford's
alley received the contents of two guns in the low
er pari nf iheir person and were taken to the Hos
pital. Thsy were eriously injured.
"This circumstance had Ihe effect lo increase
the outbreak, and the hou-e supposed lobe the
residence of those who find upon those arsons
were beset and three or four black men dragged out.
Two of them were in a most shocking manner
beaten down by the mob, and one of them who fled
to a house in Lombard street near Eighth, was left
for dead in the gutter, and subsequently dragged to
the Mayor's Otfice. At the lust accounts he was
still liv ng.
"Near evening the Shrrilf and Mayor were on
the ground with large bodies of police, and up to
nine o'clock nothiug serious took place, at which
time however it waa discovered lhal ihe large Hall
(nearly finished) in Lombard street below Ssvenlh,
desigued for holding meetings by colored people,
waa on fire. In a moment th whole building waa
in flames, and in a short time one entire heap of ru
ins. During Ihe burning of the Hall the colorej
Pre.hyterian church in St. Mary's street near Se
venth, was also set on fire and entirely consu
med. The firemen were early on the ground, and
prevented any serious damage to the adjoining
buildings.
"The Lombard street Hall was fireJ in nearly
every part of the building at the same time, so that
ita destruction was very speedy. The police were
present, hut all their etl" erts lo prevent ihe daring
deed were unavailing, being overpowered by num
bers, and many of them severely injured."
The church of St. Mary street belonged lo the
colored Presbyterians, and was under Ihe pastoral
charge of Rev. Siephen Gloucester. It had been
rebuilt al considerable expense about four year
sgo.
