WM. BIGI.ER.
Tho Saffled Lawyer.
As the last sitting of the Cork Assizes, a case
was brought before the Court in which the prin
cipal witness for defence was a tanner, well
known in the surrounding country by the scbi i
quet of " Crazy Pat."
Upon " Crazy Pat" being cailed for hi.3 evi
dence, the attorney for the prosecution exerted
to the utmost extent his knowledge ef legui chi-
cau ry, in the endeavor to force the witness into
some slight inconsistency, upon whicn he migh
build a' point,' but he was excessively annoyed
to fiud that Crazy Pat '3 evidence was consist- j
ent throughout.
Perceiving that acuto questioning failed to
answer his purpose, the disciple of C0L0 and
Blackstone, betook himself to that oftentimes

quito
romantic, eh?
' Romantic or not, sur, it wudn't be a bad idea
if the Parliament wud give it to yourself, an'
have me to chuse another.'
This caused a slight laugh in the court room,
and the presuming Judge peeped over his spec
tacles al the attorney, as much as to say, 'You
have your match now
And what did you fcay your trade was V con
tinued the disconcerted barrister, with au angry
look at the wituess.
' I'm a tanner, sur.'
' A tanner, eh ? And how long do you think
it would take you to tan an ox-hide ?
Well, sur, since it sames to be very important
fur ye to know, it's myself that 'ill just tell ye
that's intirely own' to circumstances, inlirtly.'
Did you ever tan the hide of an ass V
An ass ! No sur ; but if you'll just step down
the lane, after the Coort, be jabers I'll give ye
physical demonstration that I cud tan the hide
of an ass in the shortest end of three minutes
Tho unexpected reply of the witness brought
forth roars of laughter, in which the bench heart
ily joined, whilst the baffled attorney, blushing
to the eyes, hastily informed ' Crazy Tat' that
he was no longer required
Terriblo Riot at Brooklyn.
New York, June 4.
Great excitement was occasioned in the city
this evening, by reports of a terrible riot accom
panied with loss of life, having occurred at Brook
lyn, growing of the street preaching that occurs
there every Sabbath.
The Cist reports stated that seven or eight A

In dnsequencc of the excitement, a gathering
of cithens took place in the. Park at 8 o'clock,
which Was a l lres ied by several persoas who had
escape! from the slaughter in Brooklyn. They
concurred in the statement that while the Amer
icans were walking arm in arm down Main street
from ..uth street, where they had been listening
to the 'street preaching, they were suddenly tired

by Iriia inhabitants, ou both sides of the streets.

Auottrr speaker saw seven dead bodies. 1 he
number of wounded are said to be from forty to
eighty and another report makes the killed from

There were about five hundred Itussiau.s quar
tered in the neighborhood of the Kah:i. They
hud that staid soldierly look which is the effect
of severe discipline. This I observe to be the
characteristic cf nearly all the Russian Soldiers
thrt I have seen in the principalities. The ex
ception! are the young recruits who of course are
not yet properly formed. 1 have never observed
any appearance I light hcartedntss among the
Russian soldiers even when off duty. It is true
that at times in marching, vthole battalions sing
in chorus either the National Anthem, which is
a fine, solemn air, or some wild melody, generally
of a war like character, interspersed with sharp
cries and an occasional shrill whistle. These
latter songs are particularly animated and spirit
stirring, and the quick rattle of the drum, which
is the sole instrumental accompaniment, increas
es their exciting character. To the listener there
is something sublime in thus hearing thousands
of manly voices blended together in chorus ut
tering sentiments of devotion to God and the
j Emperor, or of tierce defianco to the enemies of
j the Czar. But eren in these exhibitions the stem-
: ness of military rules is seen. Upon the faces of
the men thus engaged no trace of emotion is
visible ; their forms are erect ; they are obeying
a command and not an impulse. Tho emotions
of th heart seem to have been drilled into order,

Proclamation cf President Pierce A
gaiiiEt Filibustering.
Whereas, information lias been received, that
sundry persons, citizens of the United States, and
others residing therein, ate engaged m organizing
and fitting out a military exj-cdition for the in
vasion of the island of Cuba and whereas, the
said uudeitakiug is contiary to the spirit and
express stipulations of treaties between the Uni
Sta'.es and Spuiu, derogatory to the character of
this nation, and iu violation of the obvious duties
and obligations of faithful aad patriotic citizens,
and whereas, it is the duty cf the constituted au
thorities cf the United Slates to hold aud main
tain the control ef the great question of peace or
war, and not suffer the samo to be lawlessly coin
plicated under any pretense whatever; and where
as, to that end all liva'.c enterprises of a hostile
character within the United S.ates, against any
foreign power with which tho U rutted States are
at peace, arc forbidden, and declared to bo a high
misdemeanor, by an express act of Congress!
Now, therefore, iu virtue of the authority vested
by the Constitution in tho President of tho U.S.
I do issue this proclamation, to warn all persona
that the general government claims it as a right
and duty to iuterposo for the honor of its flag,
the right of its citizens, the national security,
and the preservation of the public tranquility,
from whatever quarter menaced ; and it will not
fail to prosecute, with due energy, ail those who,
unmindful of their own and their countjy's fame,
presume thus to disregard the laws of the land,
and our treaty obligations. I earnestly exhort
ail good citizens to discountenance and prevent
any movement in conflict with laws and national
faith, especially charging the several District At
torneys, Collectors, and other efficers of the Uni
ted Slates, civil and military, having lawful pow
er in the premises, to exert the same for the pur
pose of maintaining the authority and prcscrvin;
the peace of the United States.
Given unJe-r my hand, and the seal of the Uni
teel State s, at Washington, the thirty-first day of
J May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred end fifty-four, and the seventy-eighth of
the independence of the United States.
By the President, FltA-SEXlX raaca.

An association w as incorporated by the Legis
lature of Massachusetts, under the name of the
Emigrant Aid Sooiety." Its capital is $5,
000,000, in shares of 100. It is prohibited
from holding more than 520,000 iu real estate in
Massachusetts, or to assess more than 4 on each
share, in 1S54, or more than $10 in any year
thereafter. Its plan, as decided on at a prelimi
nary meeting of the corpoiaiors and subscribers
to the stock, is to contract forthwith with the
TrausjiortaticnLir.es for the conveyance of twen
ty thousand emigrants ; giving the advantage of
the reduced fare to the emigrants. To erect im
mediately a large Receiving Establishment in
Kanas, where the emigrants may be accommo
dated until they have time to settle themselves.
To send out and set in operation steam saw mills,
grist mills and such necessaries of civilization as
require capital, with apparatus for a weekly
newspaper. Under tho plan proposed, (say thi
committee,) it will bo but two cr three years be
fore the company ran dispose of its property in
the territory first occupied and reimburse i'stlf
for its first expenses. At that time iu a Stale
of 70,000 inhabitants, it will possess several re
servations cf 030 teres each on which its boarding-houses
and mills staud aad the churches
and school -houses, w hich it has rendered neoes-
