The Herald of yesterday has very interesting account of the presentation of the flags to the Volunteer Companies, noticed in our last also, of the proceedings at the sumptuous dinner pit-pared by Messrs. Wood Sl Viiccbwt, of ihe Carolina Hotel, on Saturday last. Our columns were pret ty well filled when the record csmo to hand, so wc are obliged to "omit." 4 '' TOE FOREIGN NEWS. From the news we publish to-day, the prospect of a gvncral war in Europe grows dim. We have all along thonght tbete would be no war on ac count of the Eastern Qnestion, for reasons already slated. We hold to the opinion still bnt news may come by the next steamer that the Cannibals of Europe are eating one another in earnest, for all that. Wc are liable to be mistaken, as all men are. WILMINOTON St, MANCHESTER R. ROAD. The Cars on this road are now running up to M;irion Court House, and freight is received at that Depot. SYNOD OF NORTH CAROLINA. The Synod of North Carolina met in the Pres bvterian Church, in this place, on the evening of theOih of November. In the absence of the Moderator, Mr. Mebjiwk, the Rev. Mr. JIcPiikrson jened the Synod with a sermon. The Rev. II IcLkk was elected Moderator, and the Rev Messrs McNkill and Cjldwell, were appointed Clerks. Between fifty and sixty members were in attendance npon the session of the Synod. The bnsiness was transacted with great unanimity and !Ti.iatch. and the Synod adjourned at a late hour on Saturday night, to meet next year in the vil lage of Concord, Cabarras County. The most interesting item of business whicl: earac before the 8ynod, was the proposal made by the Synod of Virginia to endow a Fourth Profes torship in Union Theological Seminary. Thi.- Seminary is under the joint control of the Synods of North Carolina and Virginia, and is located in Prince Edward county, Va., in the neighborhood of Hampden Sydney College. A delegation of Vireiniaos. consisting of Rev. Petton Harrison and Rev.Drs. Sampson and Dabnet, Professors in the Seminary, appeared in Synod, and gave infor mation concerning the views and reelings of the Virginia Presbyterians, touching this matter. Earnest speeches wero made by Rev. Mr. Pinici ad Had. A. W. Vejc.ibi.ic, and after considerable discussion it was agreed to proceed to the work of endowing said Professorship, and the whole mat ter referred to the Board of Directors of the Sem inary. The remaining part of the sessions of Synod was occupied with the supervision of the Records of ihe various Presbyteries, and the general s ob ject of Missions and Education. The Rev. Dr LowaiE, of New Tork, was beard in behalf of Ihe Board of Foreign Missions, and the Rev. B. M Smith, of Virginia, in behalf of the Board of Pub lication. The Members of Synod separated with the live liest impressions of the hospitality of the citizens of Wilmington, and were followed to their homes by the affection and respect of many hearts. MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION. Some of the returns of the election in Massachu setts, which took place on Monday, are received Forty-four Whig representatives are elected. The vote in 60 towns indicate no election for Governor snd the defeat of the new constitution. NEW ORLEANS. Ihe New Orleans Commercial Bulletin of the 1th inst. expresses some sentiments and facts rel ative to that city, which will be cheering to its friends throughout the Union. We are rejoiced that the late severe affliction has not cast down or dismayed the people there. May we not hope that there will be some amendment in regard to religious observances, and that while New York is proximating a general desecration of the Sab bath, the great and prosperous city of New Or leans may pass rapidly forward in reform, till the reproach that has, we fear, justly been cast upon her, may be wiped away 1 The following are the remarks of the Bulle.'in : Extraordinary Recuperative Powers. We have always believed New Orleans to be a great city, and destined to be much greater. Even when ttoe saffron cloud of the epidemic hung so forebo dingly over us, we knew that there was a prosper ous, a glorious future, ahead. It is true wc felt apprehensions that the epidemic would exercise deprecative influences for a year or two ; but then, having great confidence in a' good system of sanitary regulatisns, we had no doubt would be adopted, we felt sure that all would wear off in a brief period,, and that our course would be again onward and upward, unimpeded by any obstacles difficult to surmount " We considered the loss of twelve or fifteen thousand citizens infinitely more damaging to the city than the influence which the feeling that New Orleans was irredeemably subject to yellow fever epidemics, the sickness of last season would cause to prevail throughout the country. " But judge of our agreeable surprise, when a friend informed us that New Orleans had fully re cuperated within the last thirty days had con siderably more than made op within that time for the losses of ninety days of epidemic, founding the calculation ntwm thet nmhahle vntr cast ! " His estimate is that the number of votes cast on Monday, will exceed that polled at the Presi dential election fifteen per cent ! " There are at least one thousand voters absent, and at least one thousand were swept off by the yellow fever. Considering all these ihings New Orleans has exhibited recuperative powers as as tounding as gratifying I In ten years, ist this rate, the population of the Crescent City, will exceed half a million I Who now can say thai the yel low fever, or any thing else, can arrest our won derful city in its onward march to greatness, re nown, and population 1 FIRE AT RICHMOND. About half past 12 o'clock on Saturday morn ing last; the Tobacco Factory of Messrs. Goods At ABen, near 21st street and north of Main, was destroyed by fire.. The loss was about 87,000, upon which there was an insurance in the Rich mand Fire Association, of 83,600. From Messrs. Goode A Allen's factory the flames spread rapidly to the North and set on fire the adjoining factory of Mr. Be. A. Smith, situated on the east side of 21st street, between Main and Franklin, which wax likewise consumed. Mr. 8. was insured in the Richmond Fire Association lbr $5,C00. His loss will be heavy. " A HAPPY" CROWD.' There is a great, deal of philosophy as wcll as kindheartedness In the following remarks by our friend Ckotchtm.d, of the Petersburg Dw3y Ex press. We aw sore that the V Hfe of labor and toil" to which he is bow rtsigntd, will become more and more, agreeable as time strengthens his industrious habits, and as he advances hi age, the want of an' opportunity to labor will become a subject of dread. A man who pursues an indus trious course at 25, will find before he is 60, that it would be almost as agreeable to him to live without food as to do without labor. A Happy Crowd. If any or our menus are ever troubled with the hypo, or as some express it, the " blue d s, we would advise them to nass bv the tobacco factories on what is denomi nated par -day. The jovial and buoyant flow of spirits that pervades Uie rieart ot entree, alter bis pocket, might, -and doubtless arc envied by ma ny who, " clothe themselves in purple and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every dav." For our own part, we never see them without feeiing more resigned to our life of labor and toil. And tho they crowd the sidewalks and obstruct our pas sage, we invariably walk around. They look too happy to be interrupted for any trivial offence. There is a genuineness too about their happiness, that renders it pleasant to contemplate. THE LEMMON SLAVE CASE. We had almost lost sight of this case, but are reminded of it by some remarks of a Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, as well as the important consequences attending it. The following are the remarks : Gov. Howell Cobb's message brings to the view of the Southern States the importance of the Lcmmon slave case, and the decision of Judge Payne, of New York, that slaves on a passage from one to another slave State, and driven by stress of weather into a port of New York, be comes absolutely free. The doctrine is at war with tho principles of comity which govern the in tercourse between independent States, and which exists independently of any statute. The case is yet to come before an appellate tribunal in New York, and is ultimately to be de cided by the Supreme Court of the UnitedStates. Gov. Cobb recommends that the State of Georgia employ able counsel in behalf of the State, to be heard on this question. He also suggests that every Southern State should be heard before that tribunal. The State of Virginia has already pro vided for this trial, and New York will follow her example at the next meeting of her Legislature. Thus we shall have, after a while, a cause and an arsument before the Supreme Court deeply in volving the harmony of the Union." THE NEW YORK ELECTION. We cannot say we see things in relation to the late New York election, in the same light that the Editors of the National Intelligencer do, though we "will hope for the best," as respects the rights and interests of the South. We desire that our readers should know something of the views of these veteran politicians, and give a part of an article on the subject which appears in their paper of Monday last : The Whigs have now the uncontrolled command of the State, with the exception of the Governor (who holds over from the election,) but the Whig majority in both Houses of the Legislature will be amply sufficient to overcome his vetoes, should he think proper to resort to that extreme measure in order to annoy or emoarrass nis political oppo nents. In the Senate, in which no new election will take place for two years, there will be 24 and possibly 26 Whigs out of 32. The Whig majority in the lower House is not yet ascertained, but it will be large. Of the returns of 00 members re ceived. 68 are Whigs. The whole number of members is 128. The moral effect of the result of this election on the national politics must be very great, and on the :id ministration it cannot but be as great as it is sudden. What political prophet could have foreseen such a state of things six months ago i The identification of the Cabinet with the Barn burner or Frecsoil party of New York must work disastrously on the party in every southern State so soon as the case is fully understood there ; for it is hardly possible for the South to abandon such men as Dickinson and his party, who, in the hour of trial, so nobly and so fearlessly stood up for the rights of the South, and hazarded everything in the course they pursued. The resnlt of the election, however, cannot but be gratifying to the great body of Southern Dem ocrats as well as Wbigs ; for it can be viewed there in no other light than as the triumph of the friends of the South against their enemies. That the result of the election will operate against the Administration, we do not doubt : but if the President and his Cabinet are identified with the Freosoilers of New York, who were de feated, was not the victory of the Whigs attained with abolition auxiliaries'! If so, we cannot be among those who rejoice very much at the result. We are always more pleased at the triumph of principle than the ascendency of a party name. Perhaps we are mistaken In supposing that the "Whig" Legislature named above, will send Sew ard to the Senate we are led into this supposi tion from remarks in the New York political newspapers and if it be so, we are much at loss to conceive how Southern Democrats or Whigs either can be pleased at the existence of a power' which is to be exercised in this fashion. Time, however, will unfold the intentions and policy of the party in power. In the mean time we are sure we will be always in the right for the Sou-h, when we are opposed to the Sew ard and Greeley party and are much more anx ious that Southern principles should remain un- contaminated by such adhesion, than we are about who is to be our next President, or which party shall prevail in the next contest for that office. Whatever party upholds Southern Rights and the Constitution for the latter cannot exist with out the former we hope to see in power. We care not what is the name of the party thus sus taining the Union. It may be called whig or de mocratic. If people choose to call a Rose the "Devil's blossom," we will not reject it on that ac count, so we know it to be a Rose and if a pretty name is given to a party which pursues the land ulunder system, we will not in our admiration of the name forget to detest its nature. NAVAL. The United States steam frigate Sarah ac, Cap tain J. C. Long, made her trial trip on Wednes day. She left her moorings at 12 o'clock in a most beautiful and majestic manner, and glided down the bay, for the purpose of trying her ma chinery, which worked well in every particular, having been thoroughly and carefully repaired in view of ber trip to the Ottoman Empire. After reaching the lightboat off Fortress Mon roe she returned in the same manner as she bad left, and arrived at the anchorage off the Hospital at 4 o'clock, having been absent only four hours, and accomplished thirty-six miles. At least one hour of that time was lost in fogs and running slow. Hon. Carroll Spence, our new Minister to Tur key, and family, who have arrived here, will em bark for Constantinople in the Saranac, which ves sel will probably sail to-morrow. Norfolk Beacon. ACCIDENTAL DEATHS. Pott.vii.le, Pa., Nov. 12 Two lads, named Moore and Kline, were accidentally smothered to death at Mount Carbon. They were employed as cm greasers on the rsaroadand last night laid down. In the cellar by a fojanaiuefbr heating grease. The jas from the furnace suffocated them. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ' '.. . ij'. Rfystificatwn oj Uie Eastern. Question A Settlement Yet ExpxUdAn Armistice Established Turks : Aaron the Danube Great Advance in the British Funds. New York, Nov. 14. The U. S. mail steamer Baltic reached her wharf at quarter of 1 o'clock, with dates from Liverpool to the 2d inst. The Baltic brings 174 passengers, among whom are Gov. Jones, of Tennessee, and Col. Powell and family, of Philadelphia. The Arabia arrived out on Saturday Evening. Neither France nor England have lost all hopes of a peaceable settlement of the Eastern question. Both governments announce that the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin are equally eager in their ncgotiations. ARMISTICE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURXBY. With regard to the Eastern question everything was enveloped in mystification. A Vienna des patch announces that there had been an armis tice agreed upon between the Turks and Russians for an indefinite period. This despatch material ly advanced the price of English and French funds. Another despatch said that the Turks had crossed the Danube without opposition. THE EASTERN UUESTtON. The most extraordinary accounts were in circu lation regarding the aspect of affairs in the East. It was stated that a satisfactory diplomatic note from the Four Powers was on its way to Constan tinople, and that the supposed armistice was to allow time for its acceptance. This further strengthened the funds ; but it began to be rumor ed that the so-called armistice was only a condi tional order to Omar Pacha not to commence hos tilities till November 1st., if he had not already commenced. This depressed the market, particu larly as a telegraphic dispatch, apparently au thentic, stated that the Turks had crossed the Danube in great force near Widdin, and occupied Kalofat, with the intention of assailing the Rus sians. Omar Pacha had informed Gotschakoff that he intended to march at once upon the Principalities, whereupon Gotschakoff held a council of war on the 11th, and resolved to evacuate the southern part of Wallachia. The Russian merchants had been doing a large business in cotton, which was considered indica tive of ieace. The Russians had made no attempt to cross the Danube. Their troops were still encamped at Bucharest. It was believed that the original Vienna note would eventually be adopted, with some modifi cations. There had been no official announcement of the combined fleets having passed the Dardanelles. ENGLAND. Great riots had broken out at Wogan, in Lan cashire, caused by a turn-out of the operatives in Collcrics. Much property had been destroyed, and the troops called out. SPAIN. The union of Spain and Portugal was again se riously discussed by all parties. W. Turon had been offered the appointment of Minister to Washington. LATEST BY THE BALTIC. Turks Crossing ihe Danube Nrtc Draft of Settle ment Accepted by Ilussia, if-c. Livr.RrooL, Nov. 2. A telegraphic despatch from the Danube, of October 27th, states that 0,000 Turkish infantry and cavalry had crossed the Danube and taken possession of Kalefat, with out opposition. More troops were still crossing, the men being in barges, and swimming their horses. The Russians were concentrating a large force around Kalefat to attack them. The London Times has a despatch from Constan tinople, October 22d, stating that the Austrian Envoy had submitted to the Sultan the draft of a new note from the Four Powers, which had been accepted by Russia. The Times still thinks nego tiations may prevent a general war. FIRE IN THE OHIO PENITENTIARY. On Saturday last a part of the west wing of Ihe work shops in t he Penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio. was burned. On the discovery of the fire, one hundred of the most reliable of the convicts were released from their cells, snd with buckets, keel- ers, tubs, and other vessels, succeeded in saving ihe chapel, the corn mill, and the weaving depart ment. Through the big gates the hook and ladder ap paratus and somo few of the fire engines were admitted, guards being stationed to observe the face and dress of every person going out. Fears were entertained that in the excitement and con sternation, which were very great, some of the prisoners, changing clothing, would escapa. The patrols walked tho walls with their loaded car bines, muskets bayoneted, and pistols In hand. In about two hours the flames had carried des truction to one-half of the West wing, destroying the State tailor and shoe shop, and the stock and machinery ofthe scythe snead manufactory of Hall St Brown. The Ohio Tool Company lost a considerable quantity of stock, manufactured. The side walls, down to the second story, having fallen in, and part of the end wall, the force of the fire department and of the Prison yard was then given to saving some 60 cords of seasoned plane and snath stuff, immediately in the rear of the burnt building, and in the small brick dry house adjoining. The fire having been sufficiently extinguished, the horn was blown for the return ofthe prisoners to their cells. The tired convicts, who had work ed, many of them, black and white, with a courage and energy that did them credit, were sent to their lonely cells, and, strange to relate, all were present. None bad escaped, but there was an excellent opportunity. Two Mexican Officials Shot by order of Santa Anna. It is stated in the Philadelphia American that a letter has been received at Washington, from an army officer on the Rio Grande, announcing that, by order of Santa Anna, Luis de la Rosa, former ly Mexican Minister to the United States, and Gen. Torncl, one otPresident Arista's Ministers of War, have both been shot recently, somewhere near the northern boundary of Mexico. De la Rosa was Minister of Foreign Affairs immediate ly after the capitulation of the city of Mexico, and was the immediate instigator of Santa Anna's expulsion from the Country, and wrote a letter in forming bim of his disgrace. The other victim was also implicated in the same transaction. Both were shot summarily, without pretence of triaL- This is considered as an evidence of Santa Anna's determination to sustain himself as dictator by the same means he has heretofore used. GREAT STORM AND LOSS OF LIFE. New Haven, Con, Nov. 14. The storm through this State yesterday was exceedingly severe. The railroad track east of this place was washed away, detaining the train from Boston with the mails and passengers by the steamer America. At B irmiag haakfoor lives were lost by the flood. Neither the Boston nor New Tork mails have arrived this morsing. At Windsor the road was badly dama Cd and resdsred impassable. PROVISION FOR ORPHANS. Washington City Orphan sAsylitm has sow fifty- nine interesting tittle inmates, tS f whom are girls. - f . INDUSTRIOUS. -Two boys, Alfred and Jared Hill, aged 18 years, of Muncy Creek township, Lycoming county, the other day husked 206 tushels of ears of corn. FATAL ACCIDENT. Fatal accidents from the use of camphene, burn ing fluids, and rosin oil, are of almost daily occur rence, the victims dying in the most horrid manner, after excruciating sufferings. FUNERAL OBSEQUIES. The Funeral Obsequies ofthe Chevalier Martus celli were celebrated with the usual pomp of the Romish ritual, on Thursday, at St. Patrick's Cathe dral in Mulbery street, N. Y., the Rt. Rev. Bishop Loughlin officiating. YANKEE SULLIVAN Was examined at Lenox, Mass., on Monday last, on a charge of prize fighting on Boston Corner, and in default of bail in $,1500 was committed to jail. It is supposed that he will pay the bail aud decamp. RENUNCIATION OF ROMANISM. The Christian Witness says Mr. G. W. Beck, of Someiville, Mass., has publicly renounced Rom anism, and conveyed to tho P. E. Church the es tablishment long known as the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum, Prospect Hill, Somerville, valued at a sum between 85,000 and 6,000. THE U. S. ARMY. Gen. Scott has issued a General Order, assign ing the command of the Department as newly or ganized. Gen. Wood takes the Eastern Depart ment ; Gen. Twiggs the Western ; Gen. P. F. Smith the Texan ; Gen. Garland the New Mexican; and Gen. E. A. Hitchcock the Pacific Department, A WOMAN PRISONER FOR LIFE. In the Supreme Judicial Court at East Cam bridge, on Wednesday Morning, Judge Metcalf sentenced a woman named Almira Wyman to im prisonment in the House of Correction for life, she having been convicted of arson. She is now serv ing out a sentence of 3 years for theft. RELEASED. Four Philadelphia oysteimen, who have been in jail at Cambridge, for several weeks, for viola ting the Maryland oyster laws, were released on Wednesday, the citizens having paid their fines, amounting to $10 each. Their vessels were pre viously forcibly taken from the officers by another party of Fhiladelphians, and carried off. RELEASE OF K0SZTA. Advices from Smyrna to Oct. 12th, state that Koszta had been released and was on his wav to Boston. It appears Mr. OfHey had received a second dispatch from Mr. Marsh at Constantino ple, stating, that, in his arrangement with Mr. Brack, the Austrian Internuncio, there is no re serve relative to Kosrta's future movements whereupon Mr. 0. consented to his release. SHOCKING RESULT OF INTEMPERANCE. The dwelling house of Michael Mullen, at the new mines above Minersville, Schuylkill county, was burned with all it contents on Sunday night, and Mrs. M., with four children, perished in the flames. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mul len was drunk, but gave the alarm, though he could render no assistance, and tho wife was in the habit of drinking and under the influence of liquor the evening of the accident. A COMMENDABLE ACT. The Bangor Whig states that on Tuesday last "a large Newfoundland dog of Smith & Perry, while carrying home a basket containing some articles , was worried by a pugnacious bull dog. He bore his attacks with Christian patience until he found it impossible to go on, when he put down the bas ket and gave the bull dog a thorough whipping. He then quietly took up the basket and proceeded home with it without further molestation." RISE IN THE OHIO. Pittblrg, Nov. 11 th. A fine rise has taken place in the Ohio, which now measures 8 feet in the channel, and is still rising. The Pittsburg and St. Louis packets commence running to-morrow. Wheeling, Nov. 11th. The water in the Ohio here now measures 7 feet, and is rising rapidly. There is no doubt of a permanent rise of 10 or 12 feet, and the season for the first class boats may be considered as commencing next week. WISCONSIN ELECTION. Telegraphic reports from Wisconsin represent that the Democrats have elected their State ticket by a large majority. Such an event was to have been expected in that decidedly Democratic State. The Milwaukie Sentinel states that so far as that city was concerned there was " but one issue thought of or talked of," and that was the " Li quor Law." The vote in Milwaukie on that ques tion was, in favor of a prohibitory law 897, against it 3,002. It fared better in the counties. The Liverpool and Philadelphia Steamship Com- fant, have completed a contract with Messrs. Tod & M'Gregor, of Glasgow, (the builders of their vessels the City of Glasgow and City of Manches ter, as also the City of Philadelphia, now rapidly approaching completion,) for a fourth iron screw steamship for their line, to be called the City of Baltimore. She will be about 2 500 tons mea surement, with a length overall of 350 feet; and when this vessel is completed and on the station there will be a departure once every fortnight, in stead of once every four weeks, as at present. THE ELECTION IN MISSISSIPPI. Jackson, Nov. 13th. The whole Democratic State ticket is elected by over 6.000 majority. All the Democratic Congressmen are also elected.- The anti-Foote majority in the Legislature, on joint ballot, will be over twenty-five. The Hon. Jefferson Davis will probably be chosen U. S. Sen ator. The following are the Congressmen elect; 1st District, D. B. Wright, dem.; 2d do., W. S. Barry, dem.; 3d do., O. R. Singleton, dem.; 4th do., W P. Harris, dem. The following is the State ticket elected : Governor, John McRae, dem.; Secretary of State, W. H. Muse, dem.; 8tate Treasurer, A. M. Jack son, dem.; Attorney General, D. C. Glenn, dem. APPEARANCE.

THINGS TN NEW- TORK. There were 874 deaths in the city last week of consumption 43 ; croup 23 ; small pox 21 ; inflam mation of the Jungs 23. -y . Michael Pinner, a merchant of Buffalo, was brought to the city on Saturday, under arrest, on rt rharm of bavins on credit 84,800 worth of goods from Burdict & Cook, by making false re presentations of his pecuniary responsibility. A violent storm of wind and rain prevailed on Saturday night and Sunday. In the lower part of the city, cellars were overflowed and many new buildings blown down. The sum of 86,430 Is all that has yet been con tributed at the Crystal Palace for the Washington Monument. Upon opening one of their consignments of gold from California a day or two since, the officers of the American Exchange Bank found two boxes which should have contained about 5,000 worth of dust filled with shot. Where, or by whom the robbery was perpetrated, remains thus far a mys tery. ADDITIONAL BY THE AMERICA. Boston, Nov. 13. The Paris Moniteur of Fri day says arrangements have been made so that the French army can be raised to 750.000 men in six weeks. Also, that England and Franco will be as united in action as they were in negotiation Earl Clarendon declared England has not the slightest intention of abandoning the Sultan. At Constantinople the Swedish flag had been insulted, and the English Consul's residence pelted with stones. The reported skirmish between the Russians and Turks was telegraphed by the French Consul at Bucharest. GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY. There appears to be a movement in prospect of contesting the eligibility of Mr. Price, the newly elected Governor of New Jersey, on the ground that he has not been a resident of the State for seven vears preceding the election, as the consti tution requires. The Trenton State Gazette says " Rodman M. Prico has unquestionably receiv ed a majority of the votes cast, but the constitu tion of the State yet stands betwixt him and the gubernatorial chair. His claims are to be con tested before another tribunal, and we have an abiding faith that he will be declared ineligible." SURVEYING EXPEDITION. It is stated that the government has determined to despatch the sloop of war Cyane, Capt. Hollis, immediately, as a part of the homo equndron, to Caledonia Bay, to convey a surveying party un der the command of Lieut. Strain, U. S. N., for the purpose of making a thorough survey ofthe route from Caledonia Bay to San Miguel, in order to settle the question definitely as to the practicabil ity of the proposed oceanic ship communication between the Atlantic and Pacific. OUTRAGE IN AN OMNIBUS. We learn from the Baltimore Times, that as an Omnibus was passing along Baltimore street Fri day afternoon, in the eastern section of the city, a ruffian-looking rascal insulted a lady, whom he was sitting beside, in the most gross and unwar rantable manner. The vehicle happened to be crowded at the time, aud the insulted lady appeal ed for redress aud protection to a sea captain sit ting opposite. The gallant son of Nt'ptune imme diately responded to the call of injured innocence, and being aided by several other gentlemen in the omnibus, expelled the rutlian through the door in double quick time. The yells from the discom fitted brute, enjoining the driver to stop, were very properly unheeded by the latter, and the ve hicle rolled towards its destination, purged of the filthiest portion of its freight.
