significant warnings to the English oov
ER.VMKNT.
From a Loudoa letter, published in ihe Philadelphia
North American, we make the following extract:
"A lingular gceue occurred at the Hyde l'ark on Sunday
last ariaiug from the introduction of a Mil into Parlia
ment to curinil .Sunday trading?a measure in many re
spect*. no doubt, very beneficial, but in others prejudicial
l,j the want* and position of the working clanaeu. A large
placard was industriously circulated throughout the me
tropolll during the past wee4t, informing the working
claasei that this bill contained many clauses which would
prove very obnoxious to them, and inviting them to as-i
Miiible 1b llvde l'ark and observe how the aristocrat
passed their .Sunday. Accordingly, on .Sunday lust un im-1
nunse nu m>?er of decently-dressed (a oplo lined the palli
wavs of the King and Rotten Row, in the lashiounlile ie
iiort of the aristocracy; and as soon as the equipages
began to throng the sides a general hooting com
menced accompanied with crics of 'Go to church,' and
other remarks more expressive than Haltering. As ;
the excitement increased there ap|?Arud a probabil
ity of a riot, but by much management and temper the
police contrived to get the people quietly away. Several;
noblemen and their ladies were obliged to leave their car
riages at the detnand ot tk? multitude, and gome horses
Wlt'-aa* the uproar. ThU ttcchtretiee was mentioned in
the House, and the government denied having anything to
ilo with the measure. Ia>rd Robert (Irosvenor stated tiiat ,
the demonstration would not prevent his proceeding with
the bill, and he has since written to the Times to'expluiu'
that his bill doe* not cootuiu clauses injurious to the com- ,
forts and wants of the people, and that he has undertaken
the lull solely at the w ish of the Sunday traders Ihem
?elves. Vuoiher demonstration is aunouueed for Sunday
next, on which occasion Lord Robert Grosvenor is prom
ised a balli in the Thames if ho will attend. In his letter
to the Times he expresses his belief that no one would luy
a liaiul u|k>ii him ; but 'discretion is the better part ofi
valor,' aud if he is wise he will not try the gentle disposi-1
tion of the working classes towards him. . |
" The Administrative Reform Association bare held an- j
other meeting at Drury Lane Theatre. It took place on |
Wednesday last, and there was a very large attendance
Mr. .S, Mosley was in the chair, and spoke with his usual i
practical tense: but the principal speaker of the evening
His Cltarlhj Dickens, who certainly made a tlever and en
.ertaiiiing speech. He assaulted the chief failing of tin
preseut system of government administration, aud his re
marks were received with bursts of enthusiastic cheers and
shout* of laughter. In reference to the sneers uttered by |
Lord l'altnerston respecting the proceedings of tlio asso
ciation at Drury Ijme Theatre, which styled them private
theatricals, he elicited roars of laughter by saying that be |
knew something h'ioui theatricals, and, if he were about to
form a company of her Majesty's servants, he should know
where to go lor the 'comic old gentleman.1 After touch
ing humorously on the principal topics discussed undei
the head of Administrative Reform, he closed his sjieecb
by addressing himself to the contemptuous observa
tion Of Lord Paintersttin to Mr. Layard; when that gentle
man alked flir a day fot- his motion, he discourteously bade

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.'
I' Is i freshing bccarionally t" look through antecedent
history, not only to discover how people acted in other days,1
but nlso to ascertain facts' connected with certain undis
puted events. The know-nothing party was very properly
named, for all their acts and assertions prove that they
have not even tasted, much less ''drunk deep, of the Pierian
? priug.' Their shallow pretext for opposing persons of j
lhre(*n birth, no matter wlntt their superiority In intclli
^eiite., patriotism and it-orals fnitv be. It about as foolish
as their claim to excellence as American citizen ? otci the
native-born of Catholic (aith. As a high-eoundit.g and
prescriptive title, they call themselves the ' sons of the sires
ot seventy-six," when nine-tenths of their sires, or rather
grandfires, were on the other side of the ocean, or lu tin
tanks of the invading Knglish army. Hut, giving them j
<111 they lay claim to on the score of ancestry, who were j
the ''sons of the sires 7" l*:t lh? following scrap of his- \
ior^-; taken at an examination of Mr. Galloway before Par- j
iiament in reference to this very subject, answer. It will
do it more faithfully than aiV w hich can come from the I
know-nothing councils
"Question. That part of the rebel army that enlisted in j
the service of the Congress, were they chiefly composed of |
the natives of America, or were the greater part of them :
Knglish, Dutch, uml Irish?
"Answer. The names anil places qf their nativity bciug
taken down, I can answer the question with precision.
There were scarcely one-fourth natives of America! about j
one-half Irish, the other fourth were Knglish and Scotch."
This "tcru/i" may be unpalatable to the secret order, but 1
truth will vindicate herself. All who have read the hip- j
i lory of our war of independence, and of the Pennsylvania |
| line in particular, will have seen that there were only;
17,000 lrisji in that famous line through the war. What
would lliat proportion give at the present day ? Figure it |

looking woman, married only three weeks, makes the fol-!
lowing affidavit liefore a New York police justice:
"Mary Ann Williams, of No 4<i Oak street, deposed;
lliai on the loth day of .Inly, 1853, she was violently and '
feloniously assaulted and beaten by her husbund, Charles '
Williams, who attempted to take her life by discharging
at hern [fistol loaded with powder aud ball.
"About half-past Ho'clock in the evening she went across
the street from her residence to the house of John Johnson,
No. 11 Oak street, to get some milk, and while obtaining it
her husband came in, and seizing her by the throat with
one hand, and presenting the pistol at her with the other,
'aid, ' Mary, you will have to take this.'
"She screamed, and her husband was seized by Johnson;
whereupon the wife started to run away, and had got up
'wo or three steps .on the stairs of Johnson's house, when,
i>n looking behind, sbe flaw her husband tlosc to lier. He

oarrels of the pistol at her, the. contents of which passed

her.
" When the wife fell, and after the discharge of the pis-,
tol, she felt her husband strike her about the neck or head
with the pistol, but she tainted and became injensible, and \
is unaware what occurred afterw ards. The remaining j
live barrels of said pistol were at the time loaded witli |
bullets and capped.
"Officer Prendergatt, who arrested Williams, found the ,
bullet which had been 'Uncharged from the pistol upon the

1'amink m Mai.uk.?A letter from Rev. M. R. Kofp, a home
missionary stationed in M.utawaska, w rites to the Portland |
Mirror, under date of June -'4th, that the people in that
portion of Maine are, and have been for somo months, in a
state of starvation. He slutes that probably five hundred
families, w ith an average of eight children each, have gone
without bread I'roin otif to ei^ht weeks at a time this
spring. They keep alive now on greens, a few fish and
I 'roK*, and itis said they have ratm snakes. One or two
cased of starvation are said to have occurred liefore the
'priug opened. Kish and game of all kinds are scarce
around the older settlement*, mid many of the men are too
much famished and disheartened to take to the woods and
lake*.

i icorge Mhauk, who lived as hostler with Dr. Oelig, in

Thai, in the United Stated, consifls hivo a right, by the
constitution, to the jurisdiction of the federal courts as
against those of States. They ore privileged from political ;
or military service, and from personal taxation. In some j
case* we huvo, by treaty, given to consuls, when they are
not proprietors iu the country and do not engage in com
merce, a domiciliary and personal immunity beyond what
they possess by the geueral public law : and the extreme
point to which these privileges have been carried in any in
stance may be seen in the consular couventiou of the 23d of
February, 1863, betweon the United State* and France. ;

The exiiedients of the sharpers to gain admission were
rather smart. Nome of them sought to gain admittance
by changing their dress and assuming the characters of
verdant men from the interior, but the ruse was to no pur
pose. Commodore tiregory, who was himself once 'a man
before the mast, was dis|x>sed to protect the men from the
operations of the land sharks. All of the crew were per
fectly sober. There were meu of all ages?froiu twenty to
sixty years. Many of their relatives were present, and
provided them with carriage, to convey then, lo boar.linir
houses and their homes.

Tub Mabi.nb IIano.?The leader of the Marine Band ia of
opinion that his open air audiences have not been intlicted
with the overture to Kra Diavolo as frequently ma waa atated
in yesterday's issue of the Union. It may be that be ia right,
and that we were wrong ; but aa it ia a very delicate taak to I
join issue with any one when a question of veracity ia raiaed,
he ahall have the exclusive benefit of hia denial, on the ground j
that itia next to an impossibility to hear diatinctly what the 1
band are really attempting to execute. It la well known to the !
frequenters of the Capitol and l'reaident'a grounds during the
performances of the Marine Hand that theae performances, to
moat of the persons present, are a mere dumb show. Anima
ted, red-coated marines, and drums, and cymbala, and huge
brass instruments, are m? in generous profuaion, but only
by the happy few is unything heard. At a distance of about
twelve feet from the stand a person of acute hearing, and
familiar with operatic, patriotic, or negro music, might
have a reasonably intelligent idea of the intentions of a band
of musicians apparently laboring under some distressing
pulmonary complaint, and led by a person who is suffering
acutely from a bronchial affection. If the distance from the
stand is much further increased the souuds beard are not
sufliciently loud to disturb tbo slumbers of an infant.
It has been customary, we are aware, from a spirit of local
pride, to speak tenderly, if not approringly, of this Hand in
their professional capacity. Its members, we doubt not, are
good musicians as well as good performers; but for good '
musicians and good performers to offend public taste by
performances which are beneath criticism only aggravates
matters. For twenty or thirty able-bodied, sound-lunged
men, who are supposed to be masters of their respective in
struments, thus to trifle with a music-loving and music-ap
preciating public from week to week, is something beyond
protesting endurance. If they cannot, or will not, play so
as to be beard, we would suggest to them the propriety of
their remaining in tho quiet enjoyment of their barracks?
leaving the public of Washington to the chance enjoyuieDt
of the music furnished by such of our peripatetic organ
grinders as may w i oder in the neighborhood of the public
grounds in the ; otul hope of finding customers and cop
