THE sounds in this ng to and fro and rallyiog in het haste, as if the town were about to be overwhelmed like Pompei. Everybody leaves work. All cn torsve thé fire, and to trouble the fire- men. In olden times, when the city was thinly popalated, and there were no steam tire-engines, OT hook-andsladder compans jes, or protection organizations, it was weil that all the men (women were always better at home) should rush to the scene of a fire; fer then all were required to work. But now, when we have a fair proportion of the modern appliances for extinovishine fires—now, when not one i ten outside of the fire companies ever thipks of assisting at a fire,——the “ eranc rush’ is unnecessary snd ridiculons. Te firemen are hampered by the press of 2 vawking crowd, and thousands of dol- are lost to the city througk the total We hope that people fires will in hat § stoppage of work. who have no business at future stay away. twee ee THE LATE RIOTS. Tue whirlwind of violence and bijood- shed attending upon the recent strikes in the United States is over; and the people ere now discussing its causes and_ its probable results. The rioting spirit is, it is said, due in the main to two general causes,—one, the unheslthy development of trades-union- ism: the other, the growth of an idle and vicious elass, which necessarily goes on as the population increases. The re- suits of the working of this rioting spirit it is now, perhaps, too, soon to estimate. We learn from our exchanges that, ag the case now stands, there is very little freight moving ; export trade has been checked , and the wholesale mercantile business is almostat a standstill. The stoppage of tha cattle trains has caused an advance on meats, and thus the eost of living is in- ereased,. The strikes, we are told, have resulted.in a practical suspension of busi- ness io the heavy iron trade, the chiel supply of which must come from the sec tions in control of the riotous strikers, and over the lines of railway which are virtually closed. One® of the most striking effects of the di-turbanees his been the distinct and unequivocal enunciation of the doctrines of the Communists. Communism dared, during the recent excitement, to raise its horrible. head in New York,—to come forth from its lurking places in the dark cluma of the city into the light of day. A mouster meeting— called by Commu- nists — was held «at Towpkin’s Square, and a very serious demonstration threat. ened; but the presevee of a hundred policemen ‘and the knowledge that the Metropolitan Militiamea — horse, foot, and artillery—were wuiting at their ar- wories in the neighborhood, ready for any energency —overawed the mob, Severu! ieveling speeches twelve resolutions were tabled, and the following were made, ‘ platform was laid down :— Viest—All members of the human family ave ontitied by nature to use sufficient of the common elements Gand, water, air and light) to maintaia their existence and pre perly ie. velop their being. Second— Land being an inalienable natur- al right (to which aii men are alike entitled and not property, stould be snpervised by savernment for the use of its citizens npon gic basis of equality. Towd—Phe unoonsumed property and other advantages resuliing from the experi nee af the past should be a com.ion in- heritanee tO the} ying geweralion. fourth—-—The curreney of a sation should be jasned by goveraument oniy, bea jegal tender and leay mo interest, thereby pro- teeting’ be people from the snéres and rrauds of gambling maney changers.

Accordingly let us hasten the realization of a just and wise svstem of government, established upon the principle above stated, Reason triumphed in New York. The Vommupists were obliged to return to their hiding places, But the demonst-a- tion and the “platform”? show that the people of the United’ States have among them an insiduous enemy which it will be aecessary to oppose and conquer, if their vovernment, aud civilization are to be preser ved. lh A ttle ll a IES = mnt THE PERILS OF ICES. -_ A few days ago (eays the Lance?) the daily papers contained an account of an in- quest upon a man, a cook at a restaurant, who, while greatly heated, swallowed a large quantity of ices, complained after- wards of feeling ill, and died next day with, as. the jpos/smortem examination showed, ‘inflammation of the lungs. It would be too much to assume that the ices were the cause of the pneumonia, but it is equally unjustifiable to acquit them of" all share in ita production, It is difficult to believe that the application of severe cold to internal viscera, situ.ted, as the stomach ani cesophagus are, adjicent to vital organs, and to equally vital sympa- thetic centres, can be less injurious than the application of severe cold to the skin. The ice may act by the local abstraction of heat from the lungs or the heart itself. or sti:l more probably by a reflex effect through the nervous system, Who does not know the startling pain in the frontal sinuses which an aftersdinner ice may cause? And the reflex effect which is felt here as pain may, in other organs, and in morbid states of system, give rise t> much more grave tissue changes. The evil effect of sw:llowing a large quantity of cold water while the body is greatly heated is popularly recognized, and whatever harm a large quantity of cold wa- ter may do, 2 much smaller quantity of ice ean effect. Hence hardly a summer passes without instances occurring of grave or fas tal iliness succeediag; and no doubt in part due to an indiscriminate relief of thirst by ices. But this is not all their if! ‘effect. If ice be placed on the back of the yand for a short time, the skin, first anae- wie, rapidly bec mes and remains for 4 jong time reddened, congested, That which can be, seen in the skin must hap- pen in tne stomach. Such congestion is different from the healthy congestion which accompanies functional excitement. Phe secretion of the gastric juice, the function jot the stomach, is interfered with by it,and i digestion is consequently hindred indirect- iy and direct!y by the lowered temperature of the stomach contents, and ultimately the occurrence of chronic gastris is favoured, if ‘not caused. With this congestian the thirst | whieh prompted the indulgence retuyns in ‘doubled degree, and the relief. gained is ‘tound to bave been dearly purchased, the health of the hosc who Lave charge of alt é community should be alive and insist upoy ry ; sumption of ice. should be remodelled , the principles of equal pay and rations; and chould be afforded to raise) evil consequences commissions di. | religious belief, mabils of | the dangers wich attend the excessive ¢Gn- atest by Telegraph.

The expense was very small, in fact it was very doubtful whether it would be necessary at all to ask for any further sum in the course of the year. It was not necessary at present, A despateh from Paris, stating that the « official journal of Bonapartists,’’ pub- liches a letter signed by Rouher an | others repudiating Cassagnacs milit ry policy, and proclaiming their adherence: to Presi - dent Mac Vshon, is erroneous. Cassagnac is the leader of the moderate Bonapartists. The Rougher party demand impossible conces-ions for yCabinet. Leet nae’s pas per is ab war with Gallorf a Ordoc. > the latter is Rougher’s organ. ai, A Bonapertist committee, cousisting of the Duc DePadone and M. M. Jalibois, and Rouher, yesterday published a, letter con- demning Cassagnec. and tell ng him he has no idea of the difficulties and unwar.ant- Jable claims they are contending against; that he shas:inconsiderately, interfered , in, their negotiations at the risk of endanger- iag their success; but, they will prosecute those negctiations with’ conciliation and prudence, feeling sure the result will justify them ih the eyés of the party, The split in Bonapartists ranks seems as complete, and wide as the rupture between Bona, partists and Legitimists.
