England had become

to as

sert that the celebration of the Battle of the Boyne in this country, is lawful, while that of St. Bartholomew is unlawful. We have already stated why we think the latter—that is, because it cele-, bates an event which, if it could be repeated here, would destroy the government, and indicates that those w,ho should engage in its celebration, would desire that result. The purpose and the act would l-oth be unlawful—and need no statute to make them so. We will now state why, in our opinion tlie celebration of the Battle.qf ,|lie woul

Protestant

by the

Reformation, and had substituted another form of religion for th« Roman Catholic. The great question which then agitated Europe was, whether the Pope should govern all the world by means of his Jesuit allies, or whether each nation should govern itself. England protested against this Roman idea, but while CHAKIJBS II. was King he endeavored secretly to turn the country over to the Pope, and let him govern it in the interest of the Roman Catholic Church. He did not succeed. When JAMES II. became King, he made a much bolder effort to do the same thing, and put almost the entire power of the government in the hands of theJesuife. Through their influence, he asserted the righ wt^ suspend': all laws, and did actually destroy -the Constitution. lie then sent an ambassador to Rome to offer England j^o the Popr. The people-wire wil'hout remedy, by the power of revolution at home, because the King had the army, and all the Roman Catholics on his side.. In this dilemma. they called upon WILLIAM of Holland .# Prince of Orange, and Grand-son of CIIARLCS I., to COME to their assistance. He did so, just as LAFAYETTE and KOSCIU8CO and DE KALB came to our assistance during the: rev«Ju(ioti 'ali4 he marched toward London his army so increased that it was soon made: manifest to JAMES II.. thai h,e W^QJG^LE to.check. the popular fury. .Consequently, he abdicated and ran awa^ to 'FrarTce Parliament,which he had prohibited from meeting, then assembled and chase WILLIAM and MARY King and. Queen, and TREATED JAMES II. as a fugitive. With the assistance of the Kine of France, he made an effort to recover Ireland, for the benefit of the Pope. WILLIAM did not consider the Pope as having any claim in Ireland, as PofJe ADRIAN IV.—who was of coarse infallible—had transferred all the papftl claim hpon it to the King of England. He therefore, went to Ireland to repel the attack of the French, who' were assisting JAMES, he having no army of his own. The Irish people were ivided—the Roman Catholics took the side of JAMES and the Popo—the

the side of WILLIAM, who was also assisted by the Hollanders or Dutch. The battle of the river Boyne was fought between the Protestant English, Irish and Dutch on one side, and the Roman Catholic French and Irish upon the other side It did not involve the independence or freedom of Iieland, but the question, simply whether it should be held by the British Government, or as a mere dependency upon the Pope.

party were the Victors and JAMES was driven out of Ireland. Now, t^ns, it is perfectly clear that if JAMES tiaa gained the battle of the Boyne he would have regained the throne of England, when he would have turned over that country to the Pope who would, by the aid of the powerful King of France, have crushed out the very life of Protestantism. In that event, there would have been no freedom of thought or religion left in: Europe to be transported to this country, and consequently, we should have had no such government as ours. To us, everything that celebrates the triumph of Protestantism, either near or remote, has the true ring about it. Such,we think, is the sentiment of the American people, and therefore, because the principles involved in the battle of the Boyne are kindred to those upon which their institutions rest—to them, it is lawful to celebrate them by public processions and with banners flying, and with mottoes which shall signify, the if triumph-

DANIEL W. VOORHEES, SO far. as tre are informed, was the first man who publicly advised the assassination of Presi« dent Lincoln. Our readers can find, in our letter from Louisville, an extract from Mr! Yoorhess' 4th of July oration at the University of Virginia, in which he counselled the deed consummated by Booth.— Ind. Journal.

There is no doubt that the silly, spread-eagle, firepeating speech to which. the "Journal" alludes, and others of a similar character made by VOORKEES and his political associates, may have led to the deed consummated by BOOTH. But it is saying more than the facts warrant to charge that VOORHEES "advised the assassination of President LINCOLN." DAN. has political iniquities enough on his head without adding to the load by unfair means. We have said, and

proved

many hard things of DAN. VOORHEES, but we don't believe there was ever a moment when he wonld have harmed, or urged others to harm, a .hair of ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S iie^cL He said .and did many things against his country, ill the hour of her terrible trial, that we cannot forget and don't mean to forgive, blithe never said or did anything that fairly be construed into a desire to have Mr. LINCOLN aewtesinited.

RIOTERS RAMPANT. -«S4

CIVIL WAR -IMMINENT.

From the Cincinnati Commercial]

.The party of tha rlo'erj in New York are not satisfied. They are maddened by their defeat on the 12th of July, and seem to be in that state of mind best described as "fatally bent on mischief." Governor HoffmanJs denounced with intense bitterjoegit, JHS portraits, heretofore adorning the VaTI* of hun|r#d| of the low gragj shops, have been generally «mash6d, ftnd those of Oakey Hall put up instead. The Irish organs teem with abusive articles of the! most bitter and devilish character. The rioters seem amazed that it is not conceded that they have exclusive juris diciie£ in the ptreets of the great American city. They mean to fight, and are preparing for emergencies. Next time they propose to be better organized and armed. Already they are pre paring regiments. The "Irish World" of July 29 has a sensation picture representing Governor Hoffman standing in the midst of a heap of corpses, including women and children, bearing an orange banner. The paper is filled with scandalous article.'', obviously, and no doubt purposely, tending to further bloodshed. It is claimed that the independence of fhis country was won by Irish Catholics," and that therefore the Orangemen must be. discriminated against. It is asserted hohdreds-of times that the firing into the crowd em the 12th-of July was wanton murder." The police officer who re/used -to take part against the rioters is the lion of the day and is to be a candidate for some lucrative office. This stale of tilings directly promises civil

Now, in reply to this ever-recurring demand for a pavement, combining'the most benefits with the fewest defects, I do not hesitate to say that a pavement composed of small broken stones, after the manner of the macadamized road, is the best known, and in support'of this opinion let the hundreds of miles thus paved, in the city of Paris, London, Berlin, and other great towns of Europe, bear witness to their superiority. Moreover, of all others, this payment is best adapted to our climate, and the necessities and habits of our people.w_For example, whenever it is necessary to disturb its surface, which is continually^occurring,"it is Only Bedcestry^: in ordinary cases, to shovel the stones thus deranged back injjo the. excavation, and with th£ fifst pasMng v&iele the self-re-pairing process begins. In point of economy, it is also superior while the roar &nd rattle, painfully disturbing to the sick, convalescent, and the ordinary pedestrian, incidental to stone and iron roadways, is completely avoided.

Asphalt has been tried and abandoned,. and it id n6w a question, I understand, of paving South Fifth-ave. with wood. A long residence in Su Peterburg, where this sort of pavement has had a thorough trial, cohfirinkme in the belief that wood will not answer for the streets of that city are constantly in disorder by reason of the rotting of the material, which de* feet is now developing itself here, »s time ani climate operate on the streets similarly paved in New-York. Only one objection is urged to the broken stone pavement, that is dust. But surely a pavement possessing all other advantages is worthy of adoption when it is simply a question of sprinkling and 'sweeping, a service for which the citizens of NewYork already pay enormous sums of money. 1 would, therefore, most urgently in-? vite the application of this admirable pavement to the locality alluded to,' namely. South Fifth- ave.

Mr. Gay was at home alone, the rest of the family were attending a pic nic. When in the yard about noon, he was addressed by two strangers, one, who had a policeman's star on his breast, pointed a revolver at Mr. Gay's head, and the other said, "I arrest you in the the name of the United States, as a counterfeiter," at the same tiilne putting his hands in irons. The robbers then took him to the house, biindfolded and tied him to a bed, demanding the key to his safe. Being unable to find them they blew the safe open with pow ditr, and robbed' it of .$6,000 in United ,Suate8 bonds, and several thousand dollars in bills. They succeeded in making their' escape.

The Mayor and his associates made' their: way through the dense crowd, and were driven to the Grand: Central Hotel, where their wounds were dressed by Dr. Fisher. When visited by the reporter last, evening, they were comparatively comfortable, and hope to be abli tojendure the journey home by to-morrow. 'Mayor Carrol was bolstered ina large arm chair, his hands enveloped in cloths, which were frequently moistened by soothing liquids. Their associate, Alderman .Bradley, was all. attention, doing all in bis. power to alleviate their-sufferings.

Had his examination of the boiler been thorough, the disaster could not have happened It seems that the engineer apprehtnded an explosion, for he savs that he looked at the patch on the cylinder last Thursday. Examination of the cylinder which was blown out shows that the iron bad been eaten out around the rivets, till it was as thin as four sheets of letter jmper.

Grappling for .the dead bodies was kept up all night, and is still going on. Shortly after midnight warden Brentaan reported that there were over forty dead bodied in Bellevne, and about sixty most. horribly scalded and bruised, many of whom will doubtless die. He said that over ten thousand persons visited the hospital after dark, and that the. whole force of surgeons and assistants wascompIetMjr worn eat. Late yesterday afternoon the WestfleTd was taken in tow by her sister vessel, the North^eld, aad is: to be taken to tbe foot of 8th street for repairs. The character of the explosion was such as to tear away and entirely r&iii onehalf-of the viasel. Nothing can be seen but one mass of iron timber, hats, shoes, parasols, umbrellas and pieces of torn clothing of every description. The windows and doors aft ot the boat have been shattered and torn from the hinges, benches, and settees lying in confusion, The .compaqy esti'mates the damage tp the vt*sel at $12,000, the prindpal loss being the wreck of the boiler. The boat is known as an extra boat, and is used on Sundays and holidays, or«t bonis when.lhe tide of travel sets strongly to Staten Island. She was accnstomra to make three, trips on Sun days, starting at li o'clock, 3J and 7 p. M,} from Whitehall landing, coming between regular boats which make hourly trips. She was about to jirt on the first trip yesterday, and! was two or three minutes behind her time when the boiler exploded. There Were (rom 200 to 250 passengers on boaird at the time,

Most of the bodies present a frightful appearance, for in addition to the fact that they are swollen and the features distorted by the water, they have in most cases been tierribly scalded. Since an early boor this morning a regular file in and out of the morgue, either from curiosity to witness the awful spectacle of the unrecognized dead lying there, or with a painful interest, trying to and yet fearful of recognising:among the yet unknown victims, the. features of relatives or friend*. There are about 60 injured victims of tbe explosion in the wards at Bellevne Hospital. The surgeons state -that at least half of them are beyond recovery. About nine o'clock this morning the body of Matilda Nelson, aged 7 years, killed by the explosion, was found in the water at the slip of Staten Island ferry, and removed to the station house. Deputy Sheriff Madden, of Brooklyn, who was among the scalded by tbe explosion yesterday, died this motmag.

The members of tlie Syracuse delegation who were injured yesterday by tbe explosion on tbe Staten Island ferry boat Westfield, are all doing well. Crowds of people have been congregated during the morning around Centre Street Hospital, where many of tboee injured by the ex plosion on the Westfield yesterday, are lying. PaUie interest in regard to the full extent of the terrible disaster, is on the increase, and the: explosion is the theme of conversation among all classes of the public-

The total number of deaths from the boat explosion jresterday is thus far fiftyseven.. The inspector of- boilers in Brooklyn and the examining engineer, inspected tbe boiler of the Westfield, and state that' the explosion occurred from over pressure of steam, as there is no appearance of low water.: On the contra ry there is, every sign that. there.. was of water in the boiler. E. R. ibe, the sttbmsrihe diver who Recovered tbe body of Doc-Simmons: and that of the strange .engineer at-the New Ham burg-disaster, is looking for'the bodies of the lost, by the explosion.
