The military, however, are under arms, ami on the alert; and we anticipate uo further damage to life or property. On Morgau and Green streets, extending west from Broadway, not an Irish grocery is left, all being torn to pieces, and the houses more or less injured. A frame row at the northwest corner of Smith and Green streets suffered severely, the weather-boarding being split and torn by stones, and all the windows and doors smashed in. At a rough estimate there are not less than fifty or sixty houses, chiefly Irish doggeries of the lowest order, badly.damaged, and their con tents destroyed. To estimate the loss we arc unable to say, but should guess it not much short of $30,000. All this, besides the murder and uia'ming, was the work of but a few hours. The police force was insufficient, and for nearly three hours the excited multitude had full sway.

This comes to us from one of the parties present, and we see no reason to doubt her statement. We further understand that the man is convalescent and will recover. Cuban Items. Tbe government property iu and about Hav ana, is estimated to be worth sixty millions of dollars. It consists of thirteen forts, and all the laud within one thousand five hundred feet of their walls; and all the property formerly belonging to the Monasteries and confiscated a few years ago, consisting of several large build ings with extensive grounds, now employed for warehouses. Also, the walls of the citv, now in the middle thereof, and comprising a large tract, valuable for building purposes after the grading of the ground on each side. This property, the " annexationists argue, would repay the United States a large propor tion of the sum to be paid for Cuba, to say noth ing of millions of acres of wild land, also be longing to Spain. It should be observed, how ever, that a large portion of this wild land is in the occupancy of planters, to whom the use of it has been granted for 50 years as grazing land for their cattle. ' v '- Tke - Cuba junta - lias a list of-all--.the Atn cricarivEngliu and French resident!, of the Island. There are but few' America us, and a large number of Freuchuit n, chiefly descendents fof former residents of St. -Domingo, who were compelled to iiee in 1789, by the breaking out of the insurrection in that Island. One of the most valuable estates in Cuba was owned by the late James B-'Wolf, of Bristol, R, I. At his death about fifteen years since it was esti mated at $500,000. His son, Mark Anthony D'Wolf, acquired another great estate there, but he became insolvent and is iiow dead. His nephews Charles and George D'Wolf, at one time had five estates in Cuba, but they were both overwhelmed by Commercial disasters. Some of their children still reside in Cuba, but are not in :'Osperous circumstances, it is said. Other members of the D'Wolf family at one time had estates in Cuba: but prosperity of late years has not attended them. The ances tors of this family emigrated to Bristol from Martinico, during the American revolution. He was a poor man with a large family of sons, nearly all of whom embarked in the slave trade, and afterward in large commercial operations with the East and West Indies, the North of Europe aud South America. Through their enterprise, Bristol became an important com mercial port, and as late as 1822, the income of the Collector's office amounted to $5,000 per annum. When the war of 1812 broke out, Jame D'Wolf, afterwards a Senator of the Un- iten States, fitted out the Yankee privateer, which took or destroyed ten millions of British property. His share of the spoils amounted to $500,000. The late Isaac Packard, of Havana, a na tive of Bridgewater Mass., left an estate of two millions. He was the father-in-law of the Hon. Dudley Selden of New York. The late Israel Thorndike, Jr., of Boston, had at one time a large estate in Cuba, but he became insolvent in 1837. Messrs. Murdoch, Storer, Scull, Fellows, and other Americans were largely, iuterested . twenty years. ago. jn coffee., estates in Cuba, but they were all unfortunate in consequence of the depreciation in the price of coffee caused by the increased production of that article in Brazil and at. Domingo. Mur doch aud Scull were of Philadelphia, Storer of Newburyport, and Fellowsof Boston. Wash ington Correspondent of the Express. Piracy, and Gaptitrk of txie Pirate. New York, August lO.Thc British Schr. Orbit, from Grand Key, Turks Island, reports the appearance of a suspicious brig with a black flag off that port, which would not allow the pilot to board her. The captain' of a British sloop which arrived at Turks Island reported having been taken in tow by her two days, and that his vessel was searched and robbed of two coils of rope.

Dockery as so important for the cause of internal improvements, feci better now. They may as well dry up their superfluous tears, and be easjr. ' The cause of internal improvements has received no detriment, but has, on the con trary, been advanced by Mr Bragg's election. Gen. Dockery's election, we have no hesitation in saying, would have been injurious to a judi cious and progressive system - of internal im provements. We have our reasons for this opinion, but do not deem it expedient to give them here. - If whig leaders will now calmly review their conduct, they will find that they have endeavor ed to make party capital out of this question, and that too, at a time when the united energies of both parties are required to carry foward to completion the present works, and insure the passage of new projects' having iu view thdf jni provement of other portions of the State. These leaders, in the blindness of party. rage, ancTstimulu ted by the little hope of making a few more votes for their candidate, have gone behind the armistice, so to speak, of '48, and held Mr Bragg responsible for views and a course of action, which, according to their own showing, could have had no influence on his conduct as Chief Magistrate at a period like the present. And Gen.. Dockery, himself, not only endeavored to excite prejudice against Mr Bragg in this war, but he made promises of pnblic land proceeds most unlikely to be fulfilled, and came out in so many words for a Railroad flanking South Carolina and pronoun ced it a "thoroughly North Carolina work," when it is evident that such a Railroad, if built, must seriously effect the State's interest in the North Carolina Road. It might be regarded as uncharitable in us to charge that Gen. Dock ery pursued this course for the sole purpose of increasing his vote, or to refer to the fact that the proposed Road is to run by his own door; so we mevely state, the facts, leaving th& people to drawtheir" own conclusioiisVe pbt, on tne4t&erfund,: Brasrsr with reference to thisv lemblated h provement.v He wasnobpsnvwf either to. aj piove or disapprove this project; and so, being actnatcd by no unworthy desire to make party capital cut of so important a question, but wish ing well to all improvements of a judicious and not conflicting- character, and calculated to improve the Stats, he wrote to the officers of the Charlotte Convention a respectful letter g'ving his reasons why he could not have the pleasure of being present to participate in the proceedings of the body. The clamor that was at once raised against him by thesa whig lead ers was only another link in the chain of proof that they were more bent ou . party success than the substantial interests of the State, The facts, we say, convict them of this. Mr Bragg stands" on the Resolution of the Democratic Convention, which is, as he con tended in the canvass? fuller and more explicit on the subject of improvements than the whig resolution. Standard. Racixg from Funerals. On Saturday after noon the residents 011 Second street below Mas ter, witnessed a novel sight cf a race between a number of chaises containing mourners who were returning from a funeral of some beloved one. The three carriages were drawn at a frightful speed, occupying the whole of the street, and raised a dnst that astonished the oldest inhabitants of that section of our city. We are informed that this is becoming a very common occurence, some of the undertakers having only one hearse and a limited number of carriages, and having two or three funerals to attend to during the afternoon, do up the melancholy ceremony in double quicktipie; and race their carriages back in orderlto ac commodate the next customer.

A correspondont of the Boston Traveller gives an interesting account of the manner in which the prejudices of the Turks are compelled to yield in the presence of their Christian allies. At a grand review, in tne ncighijorliooa ot Constantinople, he .witnessed the following among other strange things: "First I saw the Sultan so much exhilarated by the occasion, as actually top"t his horse upon the gallop, a thii.g quite incompatible with the dignity of the Sultan ! Second, the lady Marshal St. Arnaud drove in her carriage directly in front of the Sultan, ami was there introduced to him, he coming foward on his horse to speak with her; astraugcr proceeding, and even more revolting to the feelings of rigid Mussulmen, than it was to see Lord Stratford helirttheir imperial Ma'Ster iuto his boat on the ' nmm a. 1 K t t T .

Strictly, a husband cannot witii any propriety allow his wife even to walk by his side in the street. Rarely are they seen to go out together at all, and when they do, the wife mast keep at a respectful distance behind ! Up to this da-, green is a sacred color with the Turks, and no Christian subject is allowed, oa any account to wear it. It is a distinctive mark of a Mussulman; and especially, aud above all things else, in the turban. Green turbaned Turks, even, are rare, and it is under stood that the men who aspire to such a dis tinction is a peculiarly holy man indeed a lineal descendant of the Prophet. Just im agine, then, what must be the feelings of the good old Mussulmans, to see regiments of French troops all wearing the green turban ! These soldiers have gone through all the streets of the capital, sometimes singly, and sometimes in companies of five and ten and have attract ed universal attention and remark. -At first the common Turks supposed them to be Mus sulman Frenchmen. Several of them were pas sing St. Sophia oue day, and some Turks invit ed them to go in and say their praj-ers. The Frenchmen, not knowing the language, did not at first comprehend the nature of the invitation ; but a person was soon found to act as interpre ter. When they learned that they were expect ed to go through the Mussulman prayers. "Why said they, "we are Catholic Christians, not Mussulmans." How then said the others "do you wear these turbans V O replied they, "we wear whatever color we like." fierce companions, aud the wolf protected him with as much care as if he had been one of her own whelps. All went down to the river and nrann, wunoui noticing tne trooper, wno, as they were about to turn" back, ' pushed on" in order to secure the boy. But the ground w as uneven, and his horse could not overtake them. All re-entered the den; and the trooper then assembled some people from Chandour. -with pickaxes, who dug into the den for about six or eight feet, when the old- wolf bolted, followed by her three cubs and the boy. The trooper, accompanied by the fleetest, young men of the jiarty, mounted and pursued; and having at last headed them, he turned the whelps and boy (who ran quite as fast) back upon the meu on foot. They secured the boy aud allowed the others to escape. The boy thus taken was apparently about nine or ten years old, and had all the habits of a wild animal. On his way to Chandour he struggled hard to rush into every hole or den he passed. The sight of a grown-up person alarmed him, and he tried to steal away; but he rushed at a child with a fierce snarl, like that of a dog and tried to bite it. Cooked meat he would not eat, but he seized raw food with eagerness, putting it on the ground uuder'his hands, and devouring it with evident pleasure, lie growled angrily if any one approached him whilst eating, but made no' objection to a dog's coming near ar.d sharing his food. The trooper left lum in charge of the Rajah of Husunpoof, who saw the boy immediately after he was taken.

Tlie ceremony was performed according to the ancient Jewish Church, in the Hebrew lan guage, wh ch was afterwards translated into English. When the bride and ccroom had taken their position, to be united in the holy bends of marriage, a veil was thrown over their heads, after which the officiating Rabbi offered up an appropriate prayer to the Father of all Mercies for his presence and blessing on the occasion. Then followed an eloquent and touching ad dress on the nature and duties of the marriage state, and the necessity of mutual forbearance, harmony and entire devotion; after which the ceremony proceeded in accordance with their ancient usages. . The Rabbi , took a glass of wine, and after tasting. It, handed it to the father of the groom, by whom it was tasted and passed to the bride, who want through the same ceremony, and it. rfnr"i t"i tK- 0, t another glass of wine, after the usual ceremony of chaunting, was passed to the bride and groom. This was emblematical; the wine as a symbol of joy; the glass, the uncertainty of human life and hopes. After partaking of the wine, as before, the groom dashed the glass to the floor, the Rabbi pronounced them mau and wife, and with a benediction the ceremony was completed.

A w riter in the Char who has had recourse to the divining rod to discover weils on his plantation, explains the process by which the teat m " lilc toniu.ru as it is called, is accomplished. The writer professes to have been a skeptic in the matter; but he points to nine wells on his es tate discovered by a young man of 10, with a forked twig. Why, when people believe in turning tables, and rapping spirits, should any one doubt that a hazel twig has secret gravita tion towards a hidden spring ? The process is thus described: " As this virtue may be possessed by others likely to receive as much benefit from it as 1 have done, I will give such directions as will enable any one desirous of making the trial to do so. For this purpose, cut a i'ork or a long slei'der switch of either the hickory, walnut, peach, plum or olive; or, in short, any stone fruited tree. The size may be a little larger or smaller than a common goose-quill. If a fork is cut, hold the end of each fork iu one hand, with the ends at the thumbs and with the point downwards, then, , with the hands bring the point up and the thumbs nearer to gether, and if with a straight switch .hold one end iu each hand, with the thumbs turned out wards, aud' the palms upwards, then bring the hands near together bending the switch in the form of a bow or arch upwards, between ' them. Tsprepredf walk leisurely bofc m different directious where itis wished to find water, and if the switch turns downwards of itself, the holder possesses the virtue or power, and water will be found exactly under where the rod points.. It may happeu that no streams may be passed over immediately, therefore several trials iu different places may be necessary, but if the rod turns of itself, there need be uo fur ther doubts ' A MOCK MARRIAGE -"-SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. - The Syracuse Standard says that at Clifton Springs, a short time since, a gay party was assembled among them Miss M., of Buffalo, and Frank N., of Syracuse.
