If ii stafed, semi-officially, in London, that
Russia and France have asked the English
Cabinet to insist opon Prussia withdrawing
hef secret support of the Holsleiners; and if
he will not, England is invited to join in the
invasion of her Silestan and Rhenish provin

-.in such a violent proceeding, but hat expres
sed a wish to address a serious protestto
Prussia upon the subject. '
In Hesse Cassel the struggle continues, but
both parties seem to take the matter very
quietly. As the Emperor of Austria is about

Two Piueons Arrived from Sir John
Koss. We have learned from a private
source, that on Friday last, two of the carrier
pigeons taken with him when he left the
Port of Ayr, and some of which were to be
despatched home in the event of his rither
finding Sir John Franklin or being frozen in,
arrived at Ayr, finding their way at once to
the dove-cot which they occupied previous
to being taken away. The birds, we under
atand, arrived within a short time of each
ether, but neither of them, we regret to be
informed, conveyed anything in the shape o
letter or note of any kind. One of them, in
deed, had some document attached, and was
found to be considerably mutilated, it having
apparently been shot away. The time they
were liberated by Sir John Ross is of course
uncertain, but taking into consideration the
well known powers of flight possessed by the
carrier pigeon, it cannot have been very long
ince they left our gallant countrymen. The
distance the creatures must have traversed
cannot be far short of 2000 miles, and as they
travel by sight and not by scent the fact is
the more extraordinary. Sir John Koss, we
believe, took five pigeons with him, which,
it may be remembered, were slated in the
last accounts received of him, to h.ive been
at that time time all alive, so that there are
till three to be accounted for Sortk British

, An Extraordinary Bum.. An extraordi
nary Bull has been issued by the Pope. It is
dated Rome, at St. Peter's, under the seal of
the Fisherman, on tho 29th day of Septem
ber, in the fifth year of the Pontificate. H
recites that it is the earnest desire and aim
of the Roman PonlifT, to extend Catholicity,
am! to "re-convert the English nation," espe
cially by the foreign education of devout
young English Catholics, who, when brought
up lu the Propaganda College in their eecle,
silica! calling, might return to their native
land, and there propagate the true faith.
The Pope consideiing the present stato of
Catholicism in England, and the enormous
number of persons daily converted, judges it
proper to recall the vicars apostolic, and a
complete episcopal hierarchy is established
An Archbishoprio is created, under the title
of Archbishop of Westminter, who wilt have
a suffragan bishop of Southwark, and eleven
other sulTragan bishops divide the rest of the
entire kingdom. All their jurisdictions are
boldly and distinctly parcelled out, and the
bishops are assured they will enjoy in Eng
land the same rights and facilities as in other
Catholic countries, and that in a pecuniary
point of view the new Bishops will be no lo
sers, as the splendor of their te spies and
' their wants will be amply provided for.
This Bull has created an intense feeling
throughout Englund, and it is believed in
many quarters that (he Cabinet Council ha
been called together earlier than usual in or
der to act in the way best calculated to slop
farther proceedings. At Rome the feeling is
equally intense, sinoe the wily Cardinals have
put forward a report that Lord Minto has con'
euled to the terms of the Bull and that the
English Government baa placed Westminster
Abbey at the disposal of the new Archbishop,
in order thai he may perform high masse in
that edifice at his inauguration. Dr. Wiso
roan is charged with suppressing the prayer
for the Queen from the Roman Misaul, by the
London journals, and altogether the subject
is becoming one of intense interest. In what
way the indignation of the Protestant British
publio will vent 'itself remains yet to be seen.

our firemen. The Washington and Good
Intent companies, with the apparatus of the
latter, set out at full speed and arrived at
the scene in less than twenty minutes after
the alarm was sounded. The stables were
filled with combustibles and blazed with
terrific splendor. The flames spread with
rapidity and by the time our firemen reach
ed the ground had consumed the stable, and
Scouts' Smith shop, and had completely en
veloped the residence of Marks B. Priest-
tuV HuPA th npmrraii f Ik- .-
with extreme exertion, stayed. The ad-
joining house, a frame building, and distant
but ten feet from the burning one, was sev.
eral times on fire.
In the building in which the fire orin-
O
nated, were consumed four fine horses, and
several sets of harness belonging to Wm
H. i nompson ; the stage sleighs of A. E
Kapp & Co. The greater part of Scouts'
tools were lost ; as also much property in
his shop Tor repairs. Mr. Priestley', fur-

SUN BURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL.
THE
LEWISBt'Rn DEMOCRAT AND
OURSELVES.
One of these ephemeral sheets that ere
suddenly . sprung into existence, to sub
serve some selfish purpose, ippearrd a few
months since under the title of the Lewis
burg Democrat, and hat, since its brief ex
istence, devoted a number ot articles to us
on the subject of the tariff, Gen. Cameron,
and democracy in general j subjects which
it advocates with about at much understand
ing and chi 'airy as Don Quixotte did that
of Knight-errantry and the wind mills, " ,
We are free to acknowledge our personal
j u . f
i"iuii j urn. vameron,
a friendship
that I its existed from our boy-hood up to
the present time. Mr. Shriner should not
however judge us by his own experience.
Friendship is not always bought, and it
would be well for him to learn that those
who declaim most loudly for principle, ire
most generally those who are greatly in
want ol it themselves. Whatever our
views and principles are, they have ever
been consistent, open and independent.
Though far from being rich, we have al;
ways been, thank fortune and our own en
ergies, above wont or the necessity of ap-
pealin, tO others for contributions. Our
es,ab,i(thment W(l h,ve f(f.
cured by the fruits of our own industry,
and no human being can lay the flattering
unction to his soul, that he has ever con
tributed one shilling thereto, directly or in
directly. If the editor of the Democrat
can say as much, it is more than many of
his neighbors would like to say for him.
We had intended not to notice the rabid
effusions of the Democrat. We did not
therefore reply to his absurdities a few
weeks since, proclaiming the congressional
election in this district, as a free trade tri
umph. There are three townships in thii
county alone which would make a differ
ence of five hundred votes againt any man
living, who entertained the views of the
Democrat on the tariff". We are among
those who think a democrat is a freeman,
and has a right to think for himself, and
that Robert J. Walker is not a saint, or so
perfect that his statements cannot be doubt
ed. Mr. Shriner no doubt thinks differ"
entlr, and finds the servility of obedience
to superiors, much more convenient, if not
1 l - L! ii I At L . ll

and freedom of !" nd 'peaking for

upon mm as a man, ana not wnoiiy iniain-
ble. We stated nothing but facts and cir-
cumstances, and referred to documents in
regard to Mr. Walker's report on the tariff,
ana" we should like to see the editor of the
Democrat or any of his blind and servile
worshippers, controvert them, not
by generalities or the rhapsodies of a blind
fanaticism, but by facts and figures. If we
are wrong the task will be an easy one. If
we are ngm oomuasi ana iusuanism whe
ther generated by ignorance or design,
cannot affect us.

In regard to caucus nominations for U.
S. Senator, our views have ever been the
same. Neither true democracy or the

laws Contemnlate that memhnr chniiM
1 l- ir , , .
bind himself to eo into caucus, unless he
sees proper. But if he takes his chance by
going in, he should submit to its decision
It may be well to state, not by way of
apology, but to show the fallacy of the im
putations on our motives, that we did not
see the arlicln in question until it appeared
in print, and that it was written by a friend
who bad charge of the American during
our absence at Philadelphia.
These attacks upon Gen. Cameron, we
are satisfied, owe their design more to envy
' ' V I PV
abilities as a politician, than to any deri-
hction of duty. As a U. S. Senator we be
lieve him to have done more for Pennsyl
vania interests, than any two senators that
have preceeded him for the last 20 years.
Conobesj will assemble again in a
few weeks. We trust that it will be a
working session, and that some of the nub-
lie acts that the people are deeply interest-
ed in, will be taken up and passed
Amon them is the Postal bill. Th,
Country Press should be vigilant that th,;-

MELANCHOLY DtHAHTER SEVEt LIVES
LOST.
VVe bar a most painful duty (o perform
in recording the death of five of our citi
zens, viz George Clark, John Diehl, Ed
ward Wingert, Jacob Bardsher, and James
Reed, engaged in boating, who were lost
ink gale on the bay, between Havre De
Grace and Baltimore, on Tuesday last.
The boats it seems became detached from
the steamer that had them in tow, and some
of them sunk and others were driven to
the shore. There were, in all, seven per
sons drowned, and several missing, accord
ing to the statement below. Unfortunately
most of the loss falls upon individuals from
this place. We learn by letters received
by Mr. Reuben Fagely from Baltimore,
thot Mr. Samuel Thompson, Captain of the
boat Sarah of this place, bis son, and Alex
ander MantE, had arrived in Baltimore, hav.
ing walked 23 miles. George Clark and
John Diehl both leave behind them fami
lies to mourn their sudden bereavement.
They were worthy and industrious young
men. Their loss is much regretted and
th whole community deeply sympathise
with their afflicted families. Edward
Wingert was a young man about 18 ; Jacob
Bardsher was a young lad about 13, son of
a widowed mother, and both in the employ
of Mr. Clark. James Reed was a young
boy, son of Mrs. Reed of this place, about
12 years old, on Captain DiehPs boat.
Captains Clark, Diehl and Thompson
were engaged boating conl for Messrs. Reu.
ben Fagelj & Co., of this place, who were
part owners in some of the boats. The
boat Farmer belongs to Messrs. Campbell
and Rockefeller near this place.
. Captain Grant deserves the warmest sym
pathy from all who can appreciate his no
ble conduct. The Captain says an Eastern
schooner was laying at anchor a very short
distance from his vessel, the Captain of
which paid no attention to his signal of
distress, when a little timely assistance
would have averted the dreadful calamity.
Capt. G. also says that a large steamer
from Baltimore, bound down the bay, pass'
ed his swamped boat, without making any
effort whatever to save the drowning men.
Such conduct deserves the condemnation
of every friend of humanity.
We extract the following from the Balti
more papers :
The Disaster in the Patapsco River is thus
narrated by the Baltimore Clipper of yester
day : Capt. Harrnd, of the steam tow boat
Juniata, informs us that he left Havre de
Grace about 7 o'clock, on Monday night
with twenty-one boats in tow, all bound for
this port. About daylight, when off North
Point, the heavy pale which had been blow
ing nearly all night, increased in violence
and in spite of every effort, nine of the boats
which we had in tow,, broke loose and drifted
towards the White Rocks.
The names of six of (He boats and captains,
are as tollows the "John Thomas." Cant
Coyle, loaded with lumber; "J. T. Miller,''
Capt. Howser, with lumber, ' Sarah," Capt
Thompson; "Ocean," Capt. Deal; "Reuben
Fagely," Capt. Clark ; and the "Farmer,"
Capt. Roekfellow the last three loaded with
coal. The latter boat, the Farmer, was
brought up to the city yesterday aflernoon by
the same tow boat, which returned lo the
place of the disaster for that purpose. We
did not ascertain what was the fate of the
other boats.
Capt. Grant, of the schooner Cornelia A
Cook, who humanely,' and at such a fearful
cost, sent his boat to the rescue of the unhap
py crews of the canal boats whom he saw
drifting toward the shore, informs ui that his
boat succeeded in reaching only one of the
canal boats, from which was taken seven per
sons, composing the crews of two other boats,
nit the portion ol a third, who had all got
on this boat and abandoned their own, undi
the impression that it was the salest. Unfor-
unately, owing to the high sea running, hi
boat swamped alongside his vessel before al
could get out.
There were eleven persons in all in th
boat, the mate of the vessel and three hands
(among which was the brother of the captain
and the seven persons taken from the canal
boat. Tue names of the drowned are as fol,
lows: George Smith, male, aged about 29
years ; Firman Grant, brother of Capt. Giant.
aged 18 years, both belonging to Ocean conn
ty, N. J., George Clark, Captain of the Reu
ben Fagely, a married man, belonging to Sun
bury, Pa.; Edward Wingert, boy, aged 18
belonging to same boat, and a laci named Ja
cob Botcher, the driver of the boat, both be
longing lo Sunbury, Pa.; James Reed, boy
driver of the Ocean, and the captaiu of the
same, John Deal.

J.L -!! U! Ji'
lt Jude Grier in reply to a letter from
Charles Gibbons in relation to his views of
the fugitive slave law, shows most conclu
sively that this much abused law differs but
little from previous existing laws on the
subject. The denial of the right of trial by
jury to fugitive slaves, is talked of by the
abolitionists as great outrage, yet the same
denial has alwayi existed in regard to fugi
tive from justice from one State to another,
without regard to color. We make the
following extract from the letter of Judge
uner :
This much maligned law not only gives
"trial," before a legal tribunal, before the
claimant can be authorised to carry the al
leged fugitive out of the Slate, but it takes
away from the prisoner no right which he
would have enjoyed before this act of Con
gress was passed.
In all eases of extradition, the evidence
establishing the offence and escape of the
person demanded, is usually made in the
country fjom which the person demanded
has escaped, and is necessarily ft partt, and
the chief question to be decided by the
tribunal before whom be is brought, previ
ously to making an order for his extradition
is only the question of identity. The parly
emanded has a right, of course, to show that
he is not the person described. But if he be
he person described, he tins no right to a
jury trial, as to the question of his guilt, in
the country lo which he has escaped. The
question of identity, and whether the person
laimed is such a one as the treaty between
the two countries requires to be delivered up,
has always been tried summarily and with.
out the intervention of a jury. No complaint
has ever been made when t-Aife mtn have
been ent to Europe, on a demand for their
extradition, without giving them a jury trial
and why creater privileges in this matter
should be granted to colored persons, is not
easily perceived. The Slate of Pennsylvania
guarantees a jury trinl to her own citizens, or
to persons who are charged with committing
an offence within her borders. Fugitives
from another Slate have no such rights.
It has been objectod also to this law. that
it suspends the hahttu torpwt act, inasmuch
as it enacts that the certificale of the judpei
r Commissioner, "shall be conclusive of the
right of such fugitve, and shall prevent all
molestation of such person or persons, by any
process issued by any Court, Judge, Magis'
trate, or other persons whomsoever." But
his is a mistake. The truth is, that this pro.
vision of the law, forbidding the testimony of
he fugitive to be received, and forbidding
interference by other process, after a certifi.
cate, is but an enactment of an established
principle of the common law, added through
exueme caunon, out wholly imnessary.
"The writ of habeas corpus is undoubtedly an
mmediate remedy for every illegal imprison.
mcnt ; but no imprisonment is illegal when the
process is a justification of the officer; and
process, whether by writ or wnrrnnt, is legal
whenever it is not dnfective in the frame o
it, and ha issued in the ordinary course o
justice, from a court or magistiate having
jurisdiction of the subject matter."-(Common'
wealth vs. Lecky, 1 Watts, 67.)
The chief difference between the fugitive
act of 1850, and that of 1793, is that the for,
mer allows a warrant to be issued by a judge,
and the arrest to be made by a public officer,
and imposes more stringent penalties on those
who interfere, by violence, to prevent the
execution of lcjial process. Those who be
lieve that the Constitution and laws of their
country should be regarded and obeyed, have
no around no complaint, and those who do not,
will continue to rail at boih, as usual. .
STEAM BOAT EXPLOSION ON THE DELA
WARE.
New Castle, Nov. 8.
The telegraph will have furnilied you an
account of the terrible disaster which occur
red on board the steam propeller Telegraph,
on her way from Philadelphia to Baltimore,
last evening, about eight o'clock. The cover
of her manhole (to Ihe boiler) was blown off,
and scalded twenty or thirty of her passen
gers and crew. Eight are now lying dead in
the arsenal, and it is though that ten or
twelve more cannot survive. The passenger
are mostly emigrants. Rome are thought to
have jumped overboard in their fright and
agony. A hand was found on board belong
ing lo some missing person. Drs. Coupei(
Black, and Rogers, and iu fact, all the citi
zens, came nobly to their aid. Boats were
put off in all the haste the circumstances
would allow. It was low tide, and all the
boats of ibe town were lying high and dry.

REPUBLICAN DIPLOMACY.
Eliliu Burritt makes some sensible remarks
on the gim-crackery in which our Ministers
always rig themselves on every official nra
sion. Why don't they itnitMo Dr. Franklin,
and go in plain Republican costume ?
So thinks Elihu, as may be seen Dy ihe fol
lowing extract from one of his late let
ters :
"It docs strike me ns directly misrepre
senting the dignity and duty of the great
American Republic, when its representative
at foreign courts put themselves into cocked
hats and mongrel military coats, and "tights'
of bediddled plush, nnd hung with long awk
ward swords, which ihey would be ashamed
to wear at home, and lake upon them other
airs and boyish gewgaws, in order to dance
attendance on either royalty or aristocrncy.
1 hope the people of thu United States will
look to this matter, and will demand that
those whom they send abroad to represent
th'-ir nation's diznity, shall comport themselves
consistently with their vocation, and don
no livery before Kings or Queens, or the mi
nor potentates or principalities of Euiope, on
any occasion. So strongly does the impro
priety of this deportment lake hold of my
own mind, that, if I were President of the Uni
ted States, 1 would send no minister lo any
foreign court which should require him .at
any time to appear in nny other than that
plain civilian dress which the constitution
and custom of our country prescribe to him
who receives the nation's guoslsat the While
House in Washington. ,
