E. corner of Third rind Dock streets, !tut .1110,Nitrili I'ounh stree t—i s our oln y utliorised Agent protection of lilac Iron Int t. Our neighbors.of the Gazette adhere to their pro prtaititist, that" each ton of iron imported excludes from use a ton of American, and robs the American iaborpr of the work necessary to make it—and cheats the American farmer out of the sale of the produce litUt . would feed and clothe the laborer while he makes it:" The importation of any article supposes, tbpt better or cheaper one can be obtained abroad, Omuta tonic: that there is s demand for it in the country into which it is imported; and that the de . triatitl'iri greater. than 'he supply. It also supposes that the exporter calculates on making a profit upen • the article exported; or, at least, that he will not rule any thing upon it. If the producers of any idfiele in a country, can make no greater quantity of that article than is necessary to meet the demand, (and the importation of an article proves that the supplY is not equal to the actual or anticipated de mand, or to the wants of the community,) then every dollar's worth tent abroad, by increasing the home demand, and rendering the article more scarce atuticestly, is the means of thflieting a direct injury . upon the consumers;-a policy as much to be con demned, as that which goes to inflict injury upon the producer: fur the object of all good government is, to impose no unnecessary burthens Ilion any class; einittrade, if lento regulate itself, by its own natural laws, will-never impose any grevicius hurthens upon eitker the producer or the consumer. We presume that these prepositions will not be converted by the merest tyro in political economy. ..We-cleny the truth of the proposition quoted..—. If the whole produce ofAmerican labor was no more thattatifficietit to supply the demands upon it, merely to fc'edi the laborer, or producer, it is very easy to eon ceivc„:thet one of the great interests of the country wlucli now engrosses to much of our attention (our foreign trade) would be altogether unimportant, if not unknown. But the great mass of our citizens look beyond the supptioftheir mere present wants: each leeks to a time vi ben be shall have produced so 11111/eh more tll2ll will supply his immediate wants, as live" in comfort, without hell g suljected to toil. . fir iinder to accomplish this, not only the farmer, but alhothers of the prod tides , class, must send to mar ketMoreChan will suffice to provide for his immedi ate necessites; and when, in the great storehouses of the nation, these products have accumulated far be . youtithe requirements of our awn country, they must course be sent abroad, and the products of other countries, such all we cannot procure otherwise, busk be obtained for them. This extra amount of our productions will not be bought by those who have simuch of the San e articles, as good, and as cheap, of their own, as they need; and to the extent to which they can exchange their products, or the profits.pn their products, with us, will they buy from us, and no further. On the other hand, the de mandri of our citizens for the products of other na tionii;it..e met in the same manner. Nor can it be Con ceiied, that any nation will send abroad, for that which can be Obtained at home as cheaply, as advan. tageoosly, and of as good quality, any mote than that Ithoeuuld send abroad her own-products, to be exchanged fur less costly foreign fabrics, no better than ber own. We therefore contend, that, without st. foreign demand, the labor ut the American opera tivocannot be kept in as constant requisition, nor as amply renumerated, zs it necessarily will be, with that demand; and that, in proportion to that demand as : a general rule, will be the rewards for his labor. Our country is emphatically an agricultural one The amount of grain aline produced upon our soil, above the wanulof the country, is sufficiently largo, t'o enable us to compete with the agriculturists of the world, in any of her markets. That course of policy is therefore demanded of our people, which shall look to thin great interest, in preference to all ethers., apd nest to this, its handmaid, commerce. In prninottng the-e interests, the prosperity of all other. it insured: fur, if none can supply our coun trymen with the neremrar int of life so che.iply and no good as our own farmers; rind if none can compete with us, in. the foreign market, in exchanging for the products of other countries; we surely have at once a foundation' for enduring prosperity, which cannot be materially disturbed. That it cannot be, under the action of measures looking to the wel fare of the whole country, is a matter already de, monstsated in our commercial history. Bet you entirely -neglect our manufacturing in terestel—iray the etc, usiie protectionists, who seek to build up the few at the expense of the many.— This; we deny: we would neglect none, nor would we foster one, at the cost of all the others.

We have on! ly to speak of thinga'air they are, and to argil! From existing facts, to :• Provithe truth of our positions is relation to'measures n o w agit a ting the country. T •he - poiotmost directly at issue, in our State, at this time is that of protection to the iron manufae7 turer. On this point our opponents insist that the" present policy of the Democratic party is adverse to the interests of that class of our citizens. We con tend for the opposite doctrine. We contend that the iron manufacturer is now reaping, (or has it in his power to reap,) as full and fair a return for his investment of capital or of labor, as any o ther producer—much More than the farmer—and that he has no right to ask of the government that aid, which is not extended to others; even if the poli cy which he contends for would afford, permanent .y, to bis'business, the aid for which he asks. In proof of this position we can adduce several facts. The mention of two will, we hope, be deemed stir ficient. The first of these is, that, for many pur poses, in which metal of superiorquality is required, American iron commands the preference, nritwith sta riding English iron of the' same description may be had for leas money. The other is, that even in the article of rail road iron, English competition, English "pauper labor," and all the other advanta ges said to be possessed by the manufacturers of that country, are insufficient, combined, to keep out ofthe English marks t American rail rood iron! , The first of these facts is attested by manufacto tern all over the country; and the secoml is derived from the European intelligence received within the last two or three months. In the Liverpool Times of the 12th of February last, there is tins announcement : "A vessel arrived at this port from New York has brought, in addition to a general cargo of Amer ican provisions, 63 tons of railway iron, consigned to order." And among the items of news received by the steamship Washington, a few days since, we find the fallowing, under date of Liverpool, March 20th:— "An importation of nearly four hundred tons of railway iron has taken place, by a vessel a rrived from New York. This is one of the several arrivals of the kind which have recently taken place from the United States of America." Only'one of several arrivals of the kind ! Truly remarkable circumstance, in relation to a branch of manufactures about which we are told, by the es-elu sive protectionists, that the Tariff of 1896 operates so onerously, upon those engaged in them, that they are obliged to discontinue their bulginess'! But this is not all. The Pottsville Emporium, in our own State—in the midst of a coal and iron region, tell, the public, such is the superiority of American rail road iron, that it commands eight dollars a ton more than English iron We ask our readers—nay, we would ask the simplest child, capable of making a rudimental arithmetical calculation—how much greater protection than is uow given to the American iron manufacturer, would be necessary, in order, to enable him—not to-derive a fair profit from his Limi ness at home, but—to compete successfully, in the markets of Europe, with the. British manufacturer, notwithstanding all his asserted advantages! TILE COUNTY SUBSCRIPTION We hear a great deal said for and against this measure: but still we are not convinced, as to its utility or necessity. We are not disposed, however, on :his amount to close our columns against a dis cussion of the subject. We will gladly publish any thing our friends may wish to say, either pro or con. A correspondent yesterday corrected a slight error into which we had been led, as to the legality of a subscription of one million of dollars, on the part of Allegheny county. The county, it appears, is auth orized to subscribe; although a proposition to sub mit the matter to a vote of the people was stricken out of the bill. This is what we should have stated. It strikes us that the Legislature erred in this mat ter. If the people of the county at large are to be taxed, for the purpose of building the Central Rad ford, it is nothing but fair that they should be duly advised of the matter, in order that they may have an opportunity afforded them to yield their consent, if favorable to the measure, or to express a negative opinion if opposed. Taxation without representation, or taxation, without the consent a those who may be taxed, either direct or implied, is radically wrong. The County Commissioners, it is truc,bave the power to pledge the credit of the people of the county, for the pdrpose above stated ; but would it be right for them to do so, under existing circumstances t We are of the opinion that it would not. As the tax payers arc not allowed to express their opinions through the ballot bps, would it not be advisable to adopt the suggestion of a correspondent in yester day's paper, and call a county Convention, in which the voice of every ward and township shall be fully and fairly represented We have understood that some persons allege that we wish to make the County subscription busi ness a party matter. We positively deny that such is the case. 'I he Central Railroad has not a warm er friend in Pittsburgh than the &liter of this plper but we claim that it is our right as well as our duty, to express our opinions in relation to the county subscription. If the people of the County consent to subscribe a million of dollars towards the Central Railroad, we shall rest satisfied. Governor Shnitk.-.The Veto Our excellent Governor has proved his devotion to those doctrines which he contends for as correct, by vetoing four bills for rechartering banks in this State. They were for the Farmer's and Mechanic's Bank of Philadelphia, the Chambersburg Bank, the Farmer's Bank of Waynesburg, and the Columbia Bank and Bridge Company. We would say, With our co•laborer of the Pennsylvanian, tt we applaud him for tliis hold and courageous act, so consistent with his professions to the people, and so essential to the preservation of those rights which have too often been violated and destroyed. He may expect to be assailed with a storm of obloquy and intimida tion ; hut the people will stand at his back, and en courage him in the faithful performance of his duty. Like the illustrious SIMON SNYDER, he is not the man to be intimidated or put down by threats or by com bination. This is, indeed, a great and intrepid vin dication of bemontatio principles." FE ozn AL JUST/CBI I I Mr. ZEIHILOII PAIN E, of Conway, Mass., who hod been imprisoned forfourteen months, in consequence of a vile conspiracy against hint, has been awarded the magnificent I sum of two hundred dollars by the Legislature :ff a recompense for his unjust punish ment, This was done, too, after his last cow had been sold to provide necessaries for bus family. Yet these are the men wh• shed tears about the wrongs done by everybody but themselves, and are ready to preach io rarer of a crusade against every institu. 'lion but their own. Jones' Hotel, Philadelphia. We learn from the Pennsylvanian, that this fine establishment has recently undergone some enlarge ment and. repairs. The room formerly occupied as e Ladies. Ordinary, has been converted into a parlor, with new furniture and de corations—displayin g ele gance and taste. The citizens of postern Pennsyl viania who may call there, will always find Messrs, Oman & Wtsr as attentive to their comfort as the moat fastidious can desire. A Demonstration At Grace Church, New York, on Sunday last, Ttiticri's celebrated Opera troop were , engaged `to chuunt the Marseilles Hyman. This is something of a novel character, but we cannot see thin there is any more harm in it than there is in many other pie. cis sung by our choirs. I=l sir There wss a rumor )eatorday that a child was burntd at the 7th street fire, Out we believe it was afterwards incertainorl that there was no truth in it, The Wooster Bonk > This -concern, which has so recently eitiloded, had .a circulation of $457,500, - with about $60,000 of specie in its vaults; or 4_Pttle' more than pevenproixtt, 'ties to pay, for each doilar in' fie riessession. who has been so intimately co nnected with it, is said to k e indebted to the concern - about $206,060. He will, no doubt, lutturinte, in all that money can pro cure; while many ortlte‘toiling note holders will feel the want of bread, from tho effects of his rascal ity, and that of those connected with him. But bis rascality, great as it is, is Only equals dby the impu dence of the Federal presses that are exulting over this Bank failure, as a reedit of what they are pleas ed to term "loco loco" Bank management. They prCiume so Much upon the ignortirice of the People, as to suppose them incapable of distinguishing be tween a natural ally.oftheir owe party, and the con sistent supporters of doctrines which this Lake has uniformly opposed. While he t and others no more honest, have unifbrmly acted with the Federal party, in opposing all those reform& which hove cen urg ed by the true and unwavering Democracy of Ohio, they and their presses have not only been willing to use him, but to encourage and commend hint; but, since he has shown to the People, in the plainest manner possible, one of the beauties of their own favorite system ofbanking, they call him a loco foto, and pretend to have a sacred regard for honesty. But we can tell them, "there's a good time coming," when none of their approved swindling schemes will be known, except as matters of history. • Whig Speeches out West Mr. Lincoln, a whig member of Congress from Il linois, made a speech a short time since, againt the war and with the usual amount of abuse of our gal lant officers and soldiers, a copy of which found its way into Wisconsin to an old customer, who return ed it, with the following, written on a blank leaf, to Mr. L: "This thing has found its way away out here in Wisconsin. I dare not let my children read it, lest it should corrupt them; I dare not show it to my neighbors lest they should suspect me of treason.— What then ,an Ido with it? I will send it back to the author. it may be of use to him ; he may find some one green enough to give him credit fur politi cal honesty. 11c may find one so idle that he will read it, or as big a fool as I have been to waste his time in giving it all attention required. If I expected to live twenty years, I would pre. serve it, to show posterity what traitors we had in ISO; but, as I am an old •nd infirm man, I cannot survive so long, and therefore send it back to him who gave it birth. Let him doss he pleases with it. But, for God's sake don't insult a Democrat by send ing him a copy." Cot. Facesion-r.—lt. was stated by one of our Washington correspondents recently, says the Bal timore Times, that Col. Freemont was still an officer of the army, the impression being that the President had declined to accept his resignation. We now have the positive assurance from a correspondent at Washington, that Col. Fremont received an official announcement of the acceptance of his resignation by the President :on the 19th of last month, and is therefore no longer attached to the army. Loots PHILIPPE Coati:tn.—A letter, emanating, from one of Louis Philippe's intimate fnectids, was re ceived by the steamer IVashington, by a gentleman of New York city, says the Express, announcing that the ex-King has taken the resolution to come and fix himself, with his family, in the United Ftates. So says, confidently, the Courrier des Etats Cms, with this additional remark, this is probably not the last king who will flee for safety to the lEgis of the American republic. VUT The Ohio Statesman very happily remaiks : M. Goixot, the deposed Minister of the dethroned King, is the same Guizot that gravely asserted, a year or two since, that it was necessary for the great power, of Europe to hold the "balance of power" on the American continent. In losing "power,', he may think his stare that he did not lose his own "balance" by losing his head. ...r-- Y•saket Thoughltuluess. An acquaintance of ours was up in Connecticut one day last winter, to visit a friend, who was a manuliicturer. The shall of the manufacturer's water-wheel bad been broken that afternoon, under a great accumulation of ice, and be was to great trouble; for he bad searched long to find a suitablr stick, and knew not where to find another. IKlie could find one, it would be green, and unfit for im mediate use. Very early in the morning, V, ili:C the day had scarcely dawned, the manufacturer arid his guest were at the mill, to ace what should be done. A farmer, who lived two or three miles off, was al ready looking on. As the rnanufucturer looked painfully at his catastrophe, "Bad break, that, Mr. —," said the farmer. "Yes, very bad," said the manufacturer. "Can't mond that stick, can your' said the farmer. "No " said the manufacturer; "and the worst of tt is, I don't know where to get another." "Well," with the farmer, " I guess I can tell you where ye can find one." " You cant" said the manufacturer; "where is it?" "Well." said the farmer, "I thought that shaft would break, likely as not, some titne or other, and I had a tree in my wood. I thought would make a stick to suit you; and so I cut it down and snaked it home; and it's been seasoning more a year. So when...l heard your shaft was broke, I thought I'd crone over and let you know." "You're just the man I wanted to see," said the manufacturer, "if only it was light enough. How much do you ask for the stick, if it will suit met" "Olt Pin sure 'twill suit ye, or I shouldn't a' cut it down: and about the price, guess you and I can agree. It's a nice stick you'll see, if you've a mind to come over." It wits some time before the farmer would set a price; but at last he guessed $lOO would be about right. "I'll come over and see it after breakfast," said the manulactu rr r. lie did so, and told his visitor afterwards that, under the circumstances, the stick was worth $501.1 dollars to him. Do such people need protection? or arc they able to take care of thernaelvest—Journof of Commerce. A New and Valnable_llllneral..-Illetallle Fire-proof Paint. Mr. Blake, lately a citizen of Alexandria, Vir ginia. and now of Ackron, Ohio, has discover ed a Mineral, in the neighborhood of the latter place, which promises to be of great value. He has visited Washington, and received a patent for it.-.- We have thus had the opportunity of seeing the mineral, and some of the uses to which it is applied. We understand that several acres of substance have been discovered by Mr. Blake, and that they will yield a very large quantity for use. When first dug up, it is of the consistency of tallow, .and grad ually hardens, in a few days, so as to resemble slate; and finally, it becomes as hard as rock. It is of the color of indigo, is impervious both to water and fire, and admits of the finest polish. When reduced to powder, and mixed up with linseed oil, it has the appearance of black paint and may be spread over wood, canvass, fa.

The following ingenious method for destroying these pests to the farmer, is given by S. Webb, Esci., Waldo Co., (Me.,) in a late nember of the Belfast Republican Journal t s. Erect a pol twelve or fdteen f hh, in a place where it e re will not be any thing eet else s e n ear near for than to light upon, and upon it set a common fox trap, in which.they will alight. A. strong rat-trap will answer the purpose, by tying it on the pole lengthwisp„with the jaws raised above the end, the pole being little leaning, so that the jaws will not fall together. When one hawk is taken, tie it on the ground near the pole, and its mate will be in the trap in a short time. The season is near fur hawks to reappear, and if farmers do not wish to have t h e i r chickens destroyed by them, they will do wall to adopt this method of putting a stop to their dcpre &dons, " - Printers in the United States, by giving this an insertion ? will circulate valuable infurnia tion,"' Fromthe.Eartun Sentinel - Letter - fronitiil.. er.

While I am !Lily sensible that the Convention might have selected a more deserving and more competent nominee, I frankly accept this nomina • tion. It is a position of high honor, and if the choice of the Convention shall be approved by the people, I trust their just eapectalions will not be wholly disappointed. The coming political campaign will present a most interesting question, in which all minor ones are in danger of being absorbed. Certainly two, and perhaps three, distinguished names will be be fore the people of the Union in connexion with the Presidency. I hope to see the Republican party firm and united upon principle alone, in this mo mentous canvass. Whatever there may be about any one of the candidates to awaken admiration for eminent and brilliant services, I hope we shall not permit our hearts to run away with our heads, when vital principles are at stake, and the destinies of our beloved country are coneeAed. The financial difficulties of our State are fast di minishing, and we are not 'without hope that at no distant day, the people will be relieved in a great measure front their. present burden of State taxa• lion, and that our public works, prudently managed, will be greatly iustrumental in producing a result so much to be desired.

The Legislature of Indiana have asked General Taylor to repudiate his report of the battle of Buena Vista, alleging that great injustice is done to the 2d Regiment of that State. They also allege that General Taylor has admitted in:private conversation that injustice had been done them, but the following is an extract Born the General's reply: "In rdkition to the impression, which seem, to be current, that my official report of the bats e of Buena ,Vista has done marked injustice to the 241 Regiment of Indiana troops, I have only to- say, that nothing has been developed subsequently to the date of that report, to cause me to4change it. It was founded upon my own personal observation on the field, and upon the official statements of my subordinates; and I would say, that all might have been well, had not many of the officers agitated the subject in a man ner greatly to injure the Regiment and involve the credit of the t. tate, which I very much regret. "In all armies the best and most experienced t pops have been at times subject to panics under a murderous fire of an enemy, which are inexplicable. Such, it is most probable, may have been the case at the time in question. lam proud and free to state, however, that my confidence in that Regiment was not lost, but it was my intention to have placed it in action had the enemy resumed his attack on the day following ! and I have alwaysidelt assured and .confi dent, that had the battle been renewed, the 2d Indi ana Regiment would have acquitted itself with gal lantry and intrepidity on all future occasions before the enemy." The physicians at Constantinople, says the New York Sun, are recommending the daily use of dried Figs, in small quantities, to prevent the attacks of cholera. As an article of luxury or food, they ale a most valuable fruit. Florida, Testis, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia, offer boundless faciliuts for the cultivation of the F•g Tree. The demand is now touch greater than the supply. The popularity of the fruit is gradually ex ' tending throughout the Union, and in Massachusetts, where its medicinal qualities are universally known, the consumption is about one filth of the whole quantity imported into the United States. For 0)11- dren the fruit is invaluable. It not only imparts a healthy tone and vigor to the system, hut saves the expense of trashy luxuries, and geneXally obviate■ the necessity of using medicine. The members of the Society of Friends or Quakers, have known the value of figs l in almost every Quaker faintly where there are young children you will find a package of them in the pantry, to which the burly little juven iles are allowed free across. Large numbers of fig trees have been found, growing wild in Mexico, but except in the gardens or nurseries of the rich, no at. [mitten is paid to the cultivation or preservation of the fruit. It might be made a profitable staple pro duction in our Southern States, as well as in Mexico. Trite Great nests. Chief Justice Marshall was in the habit of going to market himself, and carrying home his purchases. Frequently he would be seen at sunrise, with poultry in one hand and vegetables in the other. On one of these tieeasions ' a lasinonable young man from the North, who had removed to Richmond, was swear. ing violently because he could find no one to carry borne his turkey. Marshall stepped up, and asking him where he lived, said, on being told, "That is on my way, and I will take it for you." When they came to his house, the young man inquired, "Whet shall I pay your' "Oh! nothing," said the Chief Justice, "you are welcome; it was on my way, and no trouble." "Who is that polite old gentleman who brought home my turkey for met" inquired the young man of a bystander. "That," replied he,"is Jour; Msasstm.t., Chief Justice of the United States."

FIVE FIREI , xx ortz Nutstr.—Ot Tuesday evening Wednesday morning, five fires occurred in this city. During yesterday the greateadexcitement pre mu! citizenigenergy were alarmed, at the glaring evidences'of incendiarism, which thesLcyn . fisgratinns exhibited. The first and most destructive fire, broke out in Michael M'Carty's stable, east suds of Seventh street and canal, at about midnight. The flames spread rapidly, and the smoke house of Jordan & Sun : next caught; then the smoke houses of Kin's and Coulters, and a large number of frame tene ments surrounding. The loss was heavy. About three hundred thousand pounds of Meat was burn ed 'qt the two last named houses; Mr. Jordan lost about two hundred thousand. All these houses are coverfd by insurance. A few of the dwellings be longed to Mr. Mackerel, who had no insurance. We did not learn the names rif.the other owners Not less than twenty-four families were thrown on; of homes. It was a sorrowful sight to see the little lots of furniture lying about in different places, with women and children tell to guard them. The poor families are the greatest sufferers. The engines were quickly on the ground, arid by hard work, un der unfavorable circumstances, saved the adjoining buildings. The next large fire was the paper mill of Hill & Brown, (formerly Pepard's Flouring Mill,) on the canal, between the bridge and the Aqueduct. The entire building (a large three story brick,) was consumed, we ;believe with all the contents— consisting of madhinery, stock,Ste. We understand that a greater portion of the loss is covered by in surance. Surrounding the mill were numerous small dwellings, out houses, &c., which were also ecumenic& Several families were turned out upon the streets, houseless. We did not bear the extent of the loss by property holdets. The third was a stable belonging to Knapp & Totten's drayman. It was destroyed, together with the two fine horses that were in it. The fourth was a stable of Dr. M'Cracken's, on O'Hara street The fifth, a stable of Cradock's, corner of Liher ty street and Canal basin. THE POLICE ST TES! OF THIS Crry.—Again do some of the Citizens begin to talk about a reform of the Pres, ay tem of Night Police. Plans arc pro. posed for . Councils to act upon, and public security and economy are urgod in their behalf. We hear long and loud complaints that. the police force now on duty is insufficient from some cause. There is undoubtedly something wrong, and we wish the evil might be remedied without doing injustice to any one now connected with any branch of the city government. 4" We think the reform needed would be secured by an advance in the Balmiest of the officers. Give each man two dollars per night, and abolish the fees. The services of the best men would he secur. ed by this rice wind the lack of inducement to pick up any harmless loafer would be removed. The great majority of the'easea now brought totlie Tombs are ignorant drunkards whit might he out all night— since such lodgings are of their own choosing—with ont injury to the peace and quiet of the city ; while burglars, thieves and fighters are permitted to es. cape. However disagreeable this statement may appear, it is nevertheless true. The city is full of burglars and thieves just now ; there are villains abroad doing all the harm they can by firing build. ings, 6:c., and we hear nothing of their arrest.— Blackguards make night hideous with their howls, in ten pin alloys, grogeries, and in the streets, and no notice seems to he taken of them. Now we con tind that the fault lies in the miserable pittance d ded out to those whose duty it is to watch while other. sicyp." THE WATCHMAN CA:IE.-4411hp Motto was bette r yesterday, and some hopes were entertained of his recovery,. It will he gratifying to the people of this city, should he live. Public opinion is decidedly on the side of Blair, as Mutts has been known to be entirely unworthy the place he held. Ile was a meddlesome, ignorant fellow, who seemed to care more fur the fees, than public quiet. It is known that Le has always reported more cases than any other three men on the watch—and. was never known to arrest a real rowdy or dangerous man. We should not speak thus, perhaps, of a man who is now lying in so precarious a situation, but wo have endeavored to be candid in making state ments in relation to this unfortunate affair, and we think it best that the whole truth should be known, At the same time, we cannot justify Blair in firing a pistol at the watchman—if he really did do so; and there appears to be some doubt as to the matter, The investigation before the Mayor has not ye been made. Probably the case will have a hear log to-day. —Last evening Molts was easier, and the chap• cos appeared in favor of his complete recovery. loccontsmsx.—There can no longer be a doub', as to the origin of the recent fires in thin city. That so many should occur, under the circumstances, in ono night, by mere accident, is preposterous. The hand of the incendiary is seen clear enough in all these burnings. What object men can hope to gain by applying the torch to stables and out houses, we cannot see, if they do not mean to destroy the whole city. There ate hundreds in our midst with dispositions sufficiently charged with fiendishness to impel them to such acts. But how are they to lie discovered? The safety of every person in the city,— of °sooty property holder, and resident—is in den. ger. We think it is a matter of sufficient import ance to require the action of Councils. Could they not put on an extra police force, or adopt some oth er measure of vigilance, That might expose the ori gin of these fires. Thome° Houscs.---The Court was severe on keepers of unlicensed houses yesterday. Many supposed they had an impunity, in consequence of the deci■ion of the Supreme Court—but his Hon or, Judge Patton - , did not think so; mulcted the boys into extensive finessed costs. It is hoped that these houses which might be better denominated Hells, ,, may be closed, and we are gratified that the Coon have determined that they shall be. About ninety cases were disposed of, during the day. We understand that not less than $1,200 were paid to the Sheriff, in the shape of fines ; This will be almost ilnough to pay the expenses of the term of the Court. A very handsome little sum for the benefit of the county ; -but the victims no doubt feel that the county might raise its dimes from some other source. HOLTHOUSE arm Suco.--The case of Corn. vs. Holthouse and Shed, indicted for passing counter feit money upon White and Farran, Liberty street Tailors, was taken up, but not disposed of. Mr, Alden addressed the Jury on behalf of the defence; and the Court adjourned. Mr,Magraw will address the -Jury at 9 o'clock this morning. Laacalsy.—A man named Rodgers was arrested by Scott and committed by Mayor Mama, yestejday morning, for stealing goods worth about $l9, friim a house that was on fire. Such an act deserves more than ordinary larcenyjninishment. AccroEriT.—A member or the 4tEegheny Fire Company, named Chignal, was run over by one or the Engines, while running to the fire, yesterday morning, and was badly burned. Ike" The remains of Sewell , Alward and Gilchrist, arrived on the Brilliant ytaterday, in cfiarge of R. B. Butler.

A second basin is now abaci lately necessary, from the spread of population over the hills in the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Wards; and we have no doubt but that the Councils will accede to the wishes of the citizens there.

WASHINGTON, April 12, 1848 SENATc.—The Bill defining the true meaning of the franliing privilege was called up, and, aller a short discussion, passed unanimously. Mr. Hale, from the Committee on Pensions, re pented a jointresulution amending the Natal-Pen sion Law. Mr. Mangum moved to reconsider the vote of Friday last, rejecting the Supreme Court Bill. The motion was agreed to, and the Bill made the order of the day for Monday next. The Senate laid aside the morning business and proceeded to discuss the order of the day—the Californian claims Mr. ably defended the Bill, in a speech of some length; but was :tapped by a motion to amend the Bill by inserting a clause authorizing the appointment of two Congressmen. Before the question was taken on the aniendutent Mr. Mangum moved that the Senate go into esccii five session, which was agreed ro, Bart moved that the Muse go into Committee of the Whole on die Foreign Mail 11111, which was agree/ to.
