Rowdyism Triumphant.
The city of Hudson, N. 1749las suffer-
ed an outrage .fronv a band'of lawless
,ronghs which would hardly be deemed
possible hi a. civilized country. Indeed
America setOns, just now, to, be afflicted t
by the scourge which waspredieted at the I
close of the war. The disbandment of
large bodies of ?nee who have enjoyed for
four yearatore than the- license of camp
hie in Christian countries, has set. loose
upon society the dregs orcreation.

When starting to return to the boa they com-

thousand people accompanied the excursion,
over one hundred of whom_ were the very
worst species of roughs. Many persons were
robbed of their watches, money and. other
valuables Prospeat Hilt was covered with
men, women aud children, who ,had been
driven from their homes and..cOmpelled to
fly by the roughs for their lives. Only six
arrestwere made and these were let off to-

, It is amusing -to witness the summer-
sault made by some of our -Canadian con-
temporaries on the subject of annexation,
since the Detroit Conyentioe. Beforel
that time they were loud in their advocacy
of uniting our destiny with that of the
great 'American Republic, and in their
arguments that we should be Test gainers
thereby in a commercialimint of view, buts
since they have discovered that right-
thinking Americans expect us ° to be true
to our allegiance; anirthat whatt.ver there
was of popularfeeling in Canada foorable
to Snnexation is subsiding, they come
completely around and endeavor to explain
away their diskal preaching's: The
senseless speech of Coen' -Potter gives
them a fine opportunity of getting tip a
little loyal indignation, by means of
which, and the assertion that thy- only
° 'meant Canadian_ Independence all the
time, they hope to Smooth down the horns
of the dilemma against which they ran
run tilt in such blind haste.
On Tuesday Next, -
It is expected there will be the largest
gathering in Goderich since the-. Railway
celebration. The people of Clinton, 'Sea -
forth, Mitchell, Stratford, Brantifird, and,
we hear of London, Guelph,- 4nd. inter-
mediate places, are coming up en masse.
We hope the Railway will be able to
furnish a sufficiency of cars. There will,
ifthe weather petards be crowded ex-
cursions from the upper Lake ports, and,
of Course the Whole adjacent country will
turn -gut. It is the intention of -tlie
authorities,' we believe,to Swear in a large
posse of special constables to assist- the
regulars in mainfaming good order.

Conclusion Of the Barris Trial.
. The feelings; of thejury in the Harris case
may be judged by the remark of one of. the'
jurors this evening,. who said that but for
making a -show of respect for the District-
Attorney alio jury would not have retired froin,
their bo at, in delivering their Verdict. The
trial has consumed two weeks. .
The scenes in the court room,' during the
trial, especially during the-clodina':hoursavere
of a most disorderly, not,, to say disgraceful,
character. • The counsel -for the defence arid
the District Attoriley, iadidged in the moit
insolent langeage towards each other, which
the Judge himself, lacking in the. 'dignity
essential to the beech, was comparatively
peiwerlessla repress...
. Theelosing- scene, afterthe verdict was
-
rendered, with Miss Harrisfainting, carried
out and tenderly kissed bv. her. counsel, Mr,
13raclleti and the boys yelling, "Hi I
Bully for yeti," te.,- would have been
laughable: had the occasion been a less Serie-its
one. To day's proceedings, comprised in the
sump speeches of Mr. Voorhees, and the
rambling argument of the District -Attorney,
and the confusion Of the finate, bore much
more resemblance to the 'end .of a political
convention than to tha close of an important
trial in the sacred halls Of justice.
The verdict only furnishes • a-ne* illustra-
tioe of what must be regarded as a settled
proiciple in American law,—;that• any woman
who considers herself aggrieved in any way
by a member of the other sex,..-mity kill him
with iinimmty, and with an assured immunity
from the prescribed penalties of mw The
man may really have been guilty neither of a
ciaual against herperson, an assult upon -her
hoeor, nor an offence against her feeluigs i• if
she is seized by a fitney that his course of
conduct toward her as-nat such as she had
anticipated from his addresses, she - may kill
him open notice or without' notice. If a matt
is murdered by it menther of the opposite sex
in any of the cases supposed, or in almost any
-supposable ' case whatever, • she is . almost
certain to escape, not only the extreme

a Cloud, the -sea smooth and the air superb.,
The deck of the steamer was luminous :with
f happy faces. But a few moments after w.e
had taken our seas at the dinner teble, 41
o'clock P.m., the ship suddenly came to a
stop. No notice was taken of this. In an
f instant more we heard hurryingiteps on the
r deck,: and a ere of 'A. wreck A _wreck

been 75 iniles beyond the *scene of the wreck,
ef the Nelson at the time she picked up her
passengers. This and the southerly course
of the Lafayette is something for all to think
of.
William Itothstien's account of the burn-
ing of the William Nelson I have obtained as
follows :
The Nelson was a first-class pack.
et ship of -New York, commanded by Captain
Levi'.Sinith. She left Antwerp on the 2nd of
June, and Flushing .on the 4th, for New
York, with 550 souls on board.. On the voy-
age there had been tvvo births, sixteen cases
of fever and six deaths, making frequent'
fumigetions,of the sina-a-necesaary.
The morning of the 26t1i Roilistien descend-
ed mb the ship where the sick were lying,
and found the. Air so infectedas to make
fumigation necessary to insure the safety of
the passengers. Captain . Smith...gave Mr:
-
Rothstein charge ofcleansing the ship, which
is done by dipping_ heated irons into tar and
swinging than through the air. During this
process one Of the men employed in fumigat-
ing let a red hot -iron fall into the pail of tar,
whichlastantly blazed as high:as the ceiling.
Rothstien, who: stood bebitid the men direct-
ing them, caught up- a :mattress and flung
it and himself on the pail of blating tar, with
the idea ofsmothering the flew,. when it ex-
ploded and threw -him andate mattress back-
ward about ten feet. . The -:men now beceme
alarmed, threw upon straw beds ;and ether
combustible Substances, which burned like:
torches.. In ten minutes the Haines burst up
the hatchway,. and were running up the main
mast and rigging like fire -serpents.
The scene now was indescribable. The
flames bursting out in the middle of the ship,
divided it into two parts, separating friends
and 'amities, and driving them to the extreme
ends of the bunting _Vessel. Some • became
frantic and leaped into the sea. Others flew
.up and dovin the deck., wrapped hi the -flames
ot their clothes.. rending the air- With their
shrieks. Strong; men clenched in deadly
combat for the possession of n life -preserver
or -a spar, and ghastly men and. women, with
children killed to thein, swung themselves
outside the ship by ropes, to whieli they clung
Until the fire burned them in. two, and let
Lem down into a waterygravei
.- About' 100- persons had a -tethered .on the
bowsprit when the foremat fell; killing many
.and hurting the rest into the sea. When the
fire firstibrolieout ten sailors seized the long
boat,. capable of holding sixty or -seventy
persoas,.and rowed off.. They were prevailed
upon, to return and takaiiitiveuty /MVO pass-

'Lafayette.* As the beats were towed from
the buruieg :ship some -chickens, to escape the
flames -flew after the.n-and alighted on the
shoulders Of the passengers. A fat pig swam
up to one of the boats and indicated a desire
to be saved. -He was picked up, andshowed
his gratitude by.remaining quiet in the hot-.
tom of the boat. Seale of tee chickens had
appeased the hunger of the voyagers before.
they were rescued. . .; When Captain Smith and Rothstien could
do no more tor that sufferers, they leaped into
:the sea and swam away, more to, escape the,
cries ofthose whom they could not aid than
to Save their own lives. After hevieg• been
