The unfortunate man had received a severe wound with a heavy blunt instrument, on the side, of the head, and the thumb of his right hand was broken a heavy club was lying on the ground. The man and woman wore ques tioned and said they had perceived the carriage driving on at a rapid rate, and the single gentle man in pursuit,.and the moment the latter came up with the vehicle, -he struck atone of the par ties within with a club. 'Phe gentleman in the carnage then snapped a ptsioi in me lace oi tne rider, but it missed fire, whereupon he jumped out of the carriage, and as the horseman sprang to the ground, grappled with him. The partios then struglcd fiercely with each other for about half a nnnute, but the single rider, be ing by much the largest and most powerful man flung his opponent to the ground, and was com- i mencing to beat him violently upon the face i with clenched hands; when suddenly the lady j threw herself out of the carriage and having j seized the club which had fallen from the horse- man's hand, she dealt his horse a tremendous blow, which caused it to dash on like mad in the direction of the city. She then advanced upon the struggling parlies, and ttruck at the head of her late pursuer, but he parried the blow with his right hand, thereby receiving the injury on his thumb. In the following instant, how ever, the lady effected her apparent purpose, for her second blow took effect on the side of the wounded man's head and caused him to lose his hold and fall over quite senseless. The he'roinc of the scene then assisted her compan ion, in the carriage who appeared to be consid erably hurt, and then drove off as fast as the horse could carry them.

Saturday, Fcly 8, 1840. The Senate did not sit today. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Clay of Illinois presented a petition praying for tho continuance of the Cumberland Road, and moved to refer it to the Committee of Ways and means, with instructions to report a bill appropriating one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for each of the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, to be expended on the National Road in said States, in the year 1840, under the direction of the War Department, sard ap propriations to be subject to all the restrictions and conditions of former appropriations on the said road. After a brief discussion, Mr. Pickins rose, and after declaring that the resolution amount ed to a proposition for bringing thGtuni)ler--' ianu rsoau mu wnuer uiscussion, anainomiere- fore would move to lay it on the taHlcr A call of the house was ordered on the motion of Mr. Reynolds, of Illinois, and after spend1 ing considerable time in bringing up members, rpceiving excuses, &c. &c. the vote was about to be put on tho motion of Mr. Pickens, hen Mr. V lck, of Indiana, rose, and ask ed Mr. Pickens to withdraw his motion for an eqplanation personal to himself. After a long and desultory conversation, in the course of which several members protest ed against this mode Avhich sis becominsr so w w common among the friends of the Administra tion new and old, of a member who lias made a motion of cutting off all debate, yielding to some favored fellow partizan the privilege of the floor, Mr. Wick obtained permission to make his remarks. Prom the very first sen tence, it appeared that ho was about going ful ly into public considerations respecting the Cumberland Road, and answering observations which had been made as to the policy of tho Administration. When he had finished his harangue, which could not fail to strike every one as having been forced in under the pretence of a personal explanation, he renewed the mo tion to lay the resolutions on the table. Mr. Biddlc, of Pennsylvania, instantly rose and turning to Mr. Wick, appealed to him to withdraw the motion, under the pledge that the remarks he wished to make should be as entirely personal to himself as the speech of Mr. "Wick was to that gentleman ; and he ad ded, that if the member from Indiana was not conscious of having imposed on the courtesy of the House hsmself, he would readily withdraw tne motion. Mr WICK said he had riven a pledge to renew the motion to lay on the ta ble, and was bound to keep it. The question was then put on the motion to kvon the table, and negatived.

Many of the facts are truly wonderful : Progress of Temperavce. We extract from the Limerick Reporter of Tuesday an account of the proceedings of the Very Rev. Mr. Mathcw, the great apostle of temperance, during his visit to gentleman at his labors. With head uncovered, he stands on lha top step of the hall door of Mr. Dunbar r ., 1. .. .:n r i nouso : ,tne muiuiuues sua pour in iresn no slackening appears. He seems exhausted, and has several clergymen about him who repeat a loud the words of tho pledge Mr. Mathew being inaudible at anv distance. The giving of the pledge commenced at the Court house on Sunday. 1 he very Rev. gen tlemen, after the sermon proceeded in acovored carriage attended by his friends towards the ap pointed spot. We do not exaggerate when we say, that from Denmark street to the site of the Court house there wero thirty thousand people moving ratner fluctuating lazily in wedgs of hundreds. , Tho wave of the multi time," as Curran said, " did not raise," as it was announced Mr. Matthew was approaching on the contrary, , they gathered round the car and pressed with tho mos unbecomin enthusi asm to see the Rev. gentleman. He was un moved ; and while his .fr.'ends remarked on the stupendous demonstration with some ?nervous nessjhe smiled at thescene,& displayed a feeling of gratulation that he had been the vessel cho sen by God for so mysterious and important a revolution. As the car neared the pailings of tho court the rush was awiul. Many in the evening were received before Mr, Mathcw retired to dinner, at the close of his brief meal, he arose and received till 9 o'cloc some hundreds in the hall of Mr Dunbar's house I hey entered the front and made exit by the back doors. Tho ceremony was renewed in in the morning at five, but the multitudes were so far unreasonable, that we regret to state: woman lost her life. The crowd gathered in sensibly, and the pressure from the rear forced in the rails oi the area of Mr Dunbar's residence iv poor pregnant woman was precipitated into the area, and, we are given to understand, has since died of the wound inflicted on her chest ADout y o'ciocic lie proceeded to the court house and continued to receive tho pledges un til about three o'clock when the crowd became so dense as to infect the atmosphere of the room where he was. He had labored under a cold and hoarsncss from the previous day's ex ertions. The Rev Mr. Raleigh considering the danger ot leaving the Reverend gentleman in such a situation, suggested the necessity of ob taining the protection of the military; acording- ly Air. Haleigh and Mr. Dunbar went to the Mayor, and an escort of the Scots Greys was sent down th the court where, with the active assistance of Mr. Eugene O'Callaghan and the Rev. Mr Comyn, P.

In the green space contiguous he received the couni less thousands ; such as could hear him repeat tho pledge, and then made way for succes sors. The military kept all approaches free, and the most perfect regularity was obser ved. About 10,000 people kne't down in Mallow street covering every superficial inch from Mr but-having passed the Bowling Green, he had, as he had good right to have, fears that they would plunge into the river. jTir case was desperate, and a desperate at temptianust be made to avert the impending peril.

This distance is uertaiaed by the breadth of the ice from the end oi the pier ! Mr. C. being thrown beyond it, or of c-fiurse he would have been hilled instantaneously. The horses instead of plunging off the wharf, tur- i as they coins to lht point, and by the sudden wh ri, Mr. Cochran was sent into tlie river. i Mr. Cochran, after the horses had turned their; ours?, got out of the door wkiwut difficulty, and was immediately taken care of by a couple of: vitchrnen. In the msan time lier husband had 'rigglcd out of the' dock, some how or other, and 1 ii Je directly for the stable in toe hope o" finding l is lady. Frantic at the discovery, he ran back t ) the pier and lund hts lady safe and unhurt. It is on the whole, about as romantic an adventure a.s we have haard of for some time, and it gives us r-rat pleasure to learn that Mr. C, hotvwthstand- inr his double and triple perils, is by no means, dangerously injwred. , he desired them all to stand, the simultaneous rising of so vast a number afforded one of the grandest spectacles imaginable.

When one batch of 500 were received they moved off in one direction, and were succeeded by another from a different quarter. This contributed to expedite the pro ceedings ; and while we write (11 o'clock,) the immense multitude are comparatively thinned down. He will have fiiished all this day, and leaves for Cpik to-morrow. The reverend gentleman is hoarse to an exces siye degree from the tiresome process of repeating the pledge almost continously, since bunday af ternoon ; for his labors met no interruption, save a few hours' rest, and a momentary snatch at dinner and breakiast. JJut, though his frame is delicate, he has a supply of baoyant spirits that sustain him against all futigue. We have been requested by the Rev.
