We do not know thai any thing more 1 neceaaary to be aald, la regard to those removal which we noticed on Saturday -wept the ittemenl of one fact, of no little importance in the caie. We era credibly informed that Mr. Sullivan waa not removed, but, txfWy dciind the qfflt of IntpeCior of the Revenue. THE PRESIDENTS RETURN. The National JnUlligtncer Informs us that the President of the United State returned to the aeat of Government, en Friday evening last, highly grati fied with the enthaslastlo hospitality extended to bin by hi follow cltlsens of Baltimore, a well aa with the splendid exhlbitiona of mechanical skill and huabanJry which be there wltnesaed. We will endeavor to give full account of hi trip, on Thura- VERY MUCH ALIKE. We made a few remarks on Saturday, on the aub ject of the similarity which the Union asserts to ex ist between the people of the United Stales and those of Prance. The following comparison of the two President Is furnished by the French Journals. Very much alike, Indeed I " While M. Bo!afati, the veteran of no battle fields that we are aware of, loves to' bedeck hlmaelf with fancy uniforms, set off with brbad rlbadris of the legion of honor conferred upon him in hla cradle, and surrounded by generals and aide-de-camp and high functionaries, and the pomp and circumatonce of a travelling prince, passes his reviews is beseech-; d by civil, military, and religions authorities j is present at ballad and assists at dinners of ceremony, Ueneral Tailo, the aawqueror of Mexico, an eld soldier grown gray In the service, clothed In modest garb, prays that he may be spared all formal und got-ten-up receptions. He wiahes tsvte surrounded by the true people, not by that crowd of sycophants whose life is spent in rendering homage te all the m.n who successively arrive at power. He takes no suit along with him. Hia son-in-law and a aingle servant form his whole cortege. Citizen, General, or President, it la ever the aame man the American Cinclnnatua." It must not be supposed that M. Bonahite mls nnderalands the character of the people over whom he rule. The French, of all people in the world, are most governed by the eye and henee the necessity for this display. Louts XV. waa amlabls In disposi tion wise and patriotic, and the happiness of his people was the great object of hla solicit u a e. But all hla good qualities could not compensate, In the opinion of the tickle Parisians, who give direction to the affair of France, for a clumsy person, untidy dress, and a heavy unpleating countenance. He did not look like a king, In their estimation. President or king, the ruler of the French must be decked in aristocratic frippery, and surrounded by pomp and parade. But a President of the United State rules best In (he hearta of the people, and most engsges their esteem, when he appear in the republican sim plicity which characterise the dress and manners of President Tatlos. - -V Dreadful Tornado In Cape May. The moot destroe'lve whirlwind that haa oecurred la New Jersey since the memorable tornado at New Brunswick, many years ago, appears to have swept over the spoor part of Cape May County about 5 o'clock ea Thtrsdsy morning last. A letter from Demurring sosM 7 mllea Tram Delaware Bay, to the Stab 0aYj say it first struck a new two-story hose belonging to Willi Godfrey, which wa lorn frees Its foundation and dashed to pieces.

Everything is swept clean where this house stood i U waa entirely demolished. Mr. Corson was boad dead In lb limb of an old oak tree that was blown down aome 40 yarda from thealte of the boos. But little hope art enialned of the recovery of her sister, who was terribly mutilated.

The alleged mismanagement of the fiscal affairs of St. Peter's Catholic Church, ha Induced Bish op Hughe tg iiitfrposc, and lust Sunday he visited the, church, and at the hour appointed fur afternoon eervlce he poured out a torrenNf indignant scaih ing eloquence upon tha clergy and trustees. He declared his determination to take their temporal as well aa apiritual affairs into hit own hand, and In formed the congregation that in future they were to consider him is their pastor. Ha would do his duty, though he regretted to say that St. Peter's waa tbe only church that had deserted him. Ail persons except owners of pews were then de sired to retire, and a meeting ensued, the proceed ings of which have not transpired. The Vice President visited the fuir yesterday, and subsequently listened to the anniversary addiass by the Hon. Levi Woodbury, at the Tabernacle. The Hon. Geo.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER CALEDONIA, ONE WEEK LATER fr6m eukope. The iteamshlp Caledonia arrived at Boston at a quarter past seven o'clock on .the morning of Oct. ! 12- The commercial advices are unimportant. The cotton market had been very quiet, bodi 'consumers and speculator acting with great caution; and al though a fair amount of business had been transact ed, pricea suffered a decline. The grain trade haa again become dull. There Is only a limited business going forward, and pricea have rather a downward tendency. The holder of Indian Corn, afloat, in Liverpoool, have become more firm in their demands ; as yet, no orders from Ireland have warranted their Increased protection.. Tbe report from the manufacturing districts still represent the atate of trade therein as being languid, without any lmmediate'prospsct ef Improvement, particularly aa the recent advices from India are not favorable for extensive shipment of good to thsi quarter. The mortality from cholera ha further declined. Th death from all causes In ths London districts, for the week ending the 22d, were 3,160, 2,842 and 1,981 1 thua, the cholera deatha decreased from 2,028 and 1,682 to 839 In the same period. The deatha from cholera, which were at the beginning of the month 400 dally, Cell on the 19th to 110, and declin ed on the 20th to 102, aod on ths 27th, a further satisfactory decline appeared, showing the much greater diminution to 79 for all London; 331 for all En land, and 67 for Scotland. The cases of diarrhoea being 174. This Is the most satisfactory return which haa appeared alnce the first outbreak of the disorder. In Liverpool, the dlitppesrance of the disease has been equally signal. FRANCE. Francs now snjoys a perfect tranquility, and there is no prospect si present of enother political agita tion. Indeed public opinion Is apparsotry becoming more and more averse U revolutions In proportion aa tha increase of trade asd commerce exhibits th advaatagee of internal tranquility, Mr. Rive, who succeed Mr. Rush ss Minister of th United States to ths French JRepubllc, hss srrlved In Paris. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Nothing hu transpired In relatloo to the resolu tion of th Porte not to yield the Hungarian Refu gee to the demand of Antri and Ruasis, except that a Russian officer of high rank has arrived at Conatsntlnopls to demand their extradition. There la no doubt that the chief leaders ar till at Wid den, in Wallachia, and th probability la, tbst s soon aa tha requlsit facilities caa he fnrnlahad to t them out of tha Turklah dominions, that they will be allowed to go where they please. Tha la teat Intelligence from Vienna extend to th 22d Instant, Inelualvdy, at which data Coaaorn had not eurrenderad, and nothing of toy Importance ap pears to have occurred around tbst fortress. It wia, however, reported thai the Hungarian bad mad ally on the 13th, and obttinsd soo alight sdvtn tag over th Imperial troops, and had captured som scaling Udders. The terms proposed by two depu ties, who were sent by the garrison to Acs, war andersteod to bv been rejected. Nothing definite hs yet been, arranged with regard ' to Hungary Bui with fegsrd U the scheme of arrangement thrown ut apparently a feelers,' there does not sp- pear any In.armoilniabl difficulty in the, way of Anal pacification upon tl.a baals of complete union, with Austria, Hongafy retaining her old Institutions for her future provincial legUlatloo. .

Another Riot -The Weather II salth f the City. St. Louis, October U. A serious riot occurred on Tuesday evening, be tween the officers and crews of the steamers Her- old snd Amcly. The mule o.' the former, snd sev eral others, were badly and dangerously wjunded. The weather here la cool and pleasant, and the accounts from the Interior represent that much In terest is being fell In favor of the Pacific railroad convention, which will be largely attended. There are now no deatha to record from cholera for the past week, the first time since January. The entire interments for the week, are 59, inclu ding 2C children ander five years. The cholera is still lingering along the town on the Mississippi. From Ike PhiL Ltdgtr of TTmrsamy. The Riots Deplorable RcauMs Movements f the Military The Killed and Wounded. VVe resume the details of the riots from the point ut which our account of restcr.tay broke off The rioters ascertaining that the military force had retired recommenced iheir lawless acts, and by daylight the disturbance was raging furiously. Some of the rioters jumped th fence above the California House, and set fire to the frame building In the rear of the open space, between it and the dwellings .a bove. The colored population residing in the vi cinity commenced moving, when even the females were pelted with stones by the rioters while carrying off arriclea of furniture. Tho flumes spreading in the meanwhile, brought the firemen again to the spot They sallied down the street, andjhe rioters retreating before them, the Phconix was put In ser vice. In a ahprt time however, the rioters returned and lot fly a volley of bricks, with discharges of fire arms, and the membere of the Phoenix were forced to fly from their carriage. The firemen, however, were reinforced by citizens, and returning ogaln to the fire, the Good-Will and Phoenix were put into service, and preventing the further spread of the fire, which at this lime had communicated to a row of .court houses, running west from Sixth at., the roofs of which were all damaged. t The Robert Morris Hoee Company had laid thdrr hose for the purpose of assisting in extinguishing 'At nre, when the members were beaten ofvitw car riage, and it was taken possession of by the rioters, who ran off the hoae, (wmcb wfi? cut by them,) and then carried off the apparatus into jtayamensing. It was afterwards restored to the company by John Kneass and some other wstchmuo of that district. -The hose of the DUIigent Fire Company was hack ed with knives so aa to be useless. The State House bell again gave the signal for the assemblage of the military. At this time Sixth street, from Walnut to Lombard streets, was thronged with people to see what was going on, snd from Lombard to South the battle of brick and buckshot was going on, with oc casional Intermissions. By half past eight o'clock the the tumult had ceased, the riotera having nearly all dlrperaed, and tboee remaining could not be distin guished from the spectators witn wnom tney ware mingled. Several persona were wounded lu the af fray, of whom the following were admitted into the Hospital. James Beasley, s member of the Perseverance Hoae Company, received a ball In hla breast. He wss conveyed to the Hospital, where he remains In a critical condition. He lived in the vicinity of Broad aad Arch street. Lawrence McShane, while looking out of the win (tow of a house in which his sister lived, was struck In the temple with a chance ahot, and received a se vere wound which will propably prove fatal. A young medical student received ball in his thigh while looking on the affray. The following colored men were also taken to the Qoapltal : R. Kendall, badly hurt, ahot trflhe back of hia head i Cha. Anderson, slsbbed In the thigh, and Geo. Tillotaon. slabbed in the brejL A colored boy, In theemploy of Sheriff Lelar, had three shot extracled from hla leg, which were re ceived while paaaing Sixth snd Lombard street. A young min, the son of Capt. Walker, the keep er of a tavern la Seventh, below South, waa woun ded during Tuesday night. A marble fired tram a musket struck rib, and glancing, Inflicted severe flesh wound. The marble waa extracted by Mr. Riser. The following Is the verdict of the coroners' in quest upon ths body of Cbarlea H'mmelwrighl "That Charlee Hlmmelwright came to hie death by a wound In hla breast Inflicted by a musket ball, which perforated the heart at the junction of the main artery the weapon being la the hand of ome person unknown to the jury, on tha night of the 9th of October, while the deceased was la the discharge of hi dutlea ae fireman, during the riot at Sixth and St. Mary street." Tha coroner alao held an lnqueat apon the body of John Griffith, the colored boy, mentioned yester day aa having died at the Hospital from the wouad in the head, Inflicted by a musket balL The follow ing Is the verdict of the jury : "That John Griffith cams to hlsdesth fronts wound in hi hetd by s ball from s rouakst, fired In th bands of aome per ton unknown to the Jury", on the night of th 9th of Oc tober, daring the riot t th corner of Sixth und St. Mary atreeta" Cornelius 9 peel, one of the election judge In Sixth Ward, Soulhwark, wa (track on th forehead with a open! balL Tha Injury wss not serious.

Still the public authorities of the coun ty are justly enmcrable for allowing a lawless gang of ruffians to gain, by Impunity for former frequent outrages, the audacity that allowed itselt In the resistance which they made to the lawa on Tues day night.
