. Smownitsr, one of the Associate Jr t of , Common Pleas, of4his county, took pt lay, at his house in Allegheny. He died suddenly, of a disease of the heart. His physician long since assured him, that his complaint-would result fatally, and would, very proba bly, tdrututts' te Isis life suddenly sad uneapectedly— and, ite• believed, he had accustomed his mind to re- Section on the awful event, and encountered death with that resignation which became a man who had liVEd a jaunted pions life. Judge Snownest•came from Westmoreland to this county in 1811, and purchased the Pittsburgh Mer entry, then just established by JAB. C. GILLSLAND deceased. From that time until he retired from edi torial life, in 1831, a period of 20 years, Judge Snow s:4x conducted the Mercury with distinguished ability —and during all the political struggles of that period, it maintained the entitle c Democracy, most homnu blyind effectively. An ardent friend of the war, Judge Snowlizet bent all theenergies of h!s mind to sus taining those who directed the national councils while the contest was going on, as well as those who served their country in the tented field. As a matter of course, his paper was high in favor both with the peo ple and the army, and was the principal medium in the West of intelligence of the operations and move ments of the war. When a city charter was obtained, for Pittsburgh, Judge SNOWDEN was appointed en Alderman, and for many years served as Mayor. We intend no disre spect to the many excellent officers who have filled that post, when we say that he was the best Mayor this city every had. Prompt, energetic, and fearless in the discharge of his duties, he never shrunk from any responsibility however great, nor any danger, how ever threatening. His rigid attention to business was proverbial—he never postponed any duty that could or shoed be ?ermined without o delay. During the administration of Gov. Wine, he was Register and Recorder of the county—and a few years ago be was appointee an Associate Judge of the Court of Cowmen Pleas. Tbat his services on the bench were invaluable, all classes of his fellow-citizens will cheerfully beat testimony. Frequently compelled, by circumstances, to assume much responsibility, the courage and firmness of his nature always carried him through with credit and honor, while his mode rate and impartial deportment inspired universal re spect and confidence. It will be long, very Jong, be fore the public and his brethren on the bench can cease to feel the immense lou they have sustained in his sudden demise. So far, we have spoken only of the merits and vir tues of the deceased as they were exhibited in his public and official relations, and in this we feel con. scions that full justice has not been done to his exalted character as a public servant. Were ae to attempt a description of his excellences in private life, we should fail still more signally in the effort to portray his similes. We will but say, therefore, that there could not be a better nor a kinder father, a more de voted and affectionate husband; nor a more true-heart •d friend. Judge SNO ICD EN was ever an exemplary Christian, and was a member and an elder of the Ist Presbyterian church of this city. Thera can be no more unerring evidence of the high estimation in which Judge Smournts was held, tha n the deep and general concern which is manifested at his death, by all manner,of persons. Every one seems to feel that his departure has left a void in society that cannot be filled. To his family and ftiends it is needless to say the lode is irreparable. `. ;, ~`; ['The American utters an atrocious falsehood in suing that the Post charged "the whigs" with oppo sing the Rail Road Bil l. The Post siid that "the Philadelpkia whigs" were doing their best to throttle the Rail Road Biil"—and to prove the truth of this we might call the greasy beast who assails us, if such testmony would be received. Every body knows, how ever, that the Philadelphia whig members have done their best against the bill. THE LAM* S'ROT OF THE LAST WAR WITH ENG LAND.—The account of the recent explosion of a shell in New York, by which five person were killed, and several injured, brought to mind a cricumstance which took place in this city some years ago. For many years a number of cannon which had been cap tured from the British on Lake Erie, laid in one of oar streets, near a large foundry. It was at last de- tettnined to put these trophies of American bravery to a .useful purpose, and one of them was stuck into a furnace, butt foremost, to be melted down. While this process was going on, the great gun went off, sending a ball through the side of the foundry into the hill be yond! A. it fortunately turned out, no person was in jured, when this lung sleepirg and close bottled Bri tish thunder burst upoutie ears of the astonished can .non pounders. 'The cannon, as was said before, laid is the street fur several years, and no person thought it possible that it could be charged Perhaps no piece of Brit ish ordnance was ever fired under such singular cir cumstances. And we may confidently aver that this waf"the last shot of the last war," although not fired in the war. The English, who love to boast, might make it a matter to brag about that they loaded the last gun, and that it was fired in the very midst of their enemies. ".

THE Roocts AND POLICE OF I'HILADELHIA.. -- Pirillidelphia is a r.ice pine, confider it in. What light you may, The Spirit of the Times gives the follow ing infim-mation of amicable relations that exist be tween the Police and the rogues that now infest •the -city. It.says,Philadelpliia is at this time full of rogues of every grade, and many of them are on terms of the closest intimacy with the Police, especially the well dressed forger and counterfeiter and rich pick-pocket. These last flefraud and rob with impunity. The stool pigeon system is in full blast and as its peculiar pro vince is to shield the big rogue while his tools are vic timized to satisfy justice, no wonder that so many scoundrels are walking the streets in broad cloth, with pockets lined with gold, filched from the honest and unsuspecting. The public know but little of this kr fatuous stool-pigeon system, as all its operations are carefully kept from the press. Indeed, the police are pat ticolarly studious to tniclude all information of the doings of that department from the ne mspapers, unless where an opportunity offers to have themselves blazon ed forth in print as deserving of credit for their activity and indefatigability. As an instance of the villainy which is daily countenanced and winked at by the officers of justice, it the operation of the stool-pigeon system, a western merchant, a few days since, was robbed of $1,200. Two pickpockets were seen to commit the act. They were arrested, but now are at large. The owner of the money recovered about half of it. What became of the remainder, the police can best tell. Thus is justice perverted ! and thus are citizens fleeced by those whose s worn duty it is to pro tect them. • g post., /LI) 'TORS L 3, 1845 AWFUL AND SUDDEN CALAMITY—The New Yolk Herald gives tile following account of a ti dent that happened on the Hudson. On evening, George Rockfelle, his wife ant. Mr Saulpagh, son and daughter, Andrew Hi two other persons, who all reside at Germ] lumbia county, New York, were returning Hudson in a small boat, in tow of the stea field, and when opposite to their residen , was cast otT, and they attempted to row to the shore The South America, coming down at the instant, the night being very dark and a heavy wind blowing from the south, ran over the small boat, turning every soul into the river, and they were drowned. 'rim South America immediately stopped, and made diligent seereh, but nothing could be found except a few arti• cles which had been in the boat. The daughter of Mr Rockfelle bad been married but a short time, and part of her outfit bed been purchased at Hodson and was in the boat. Her husband was standing on shore a waiting their arrival, but nothing was known on shore that night of their fate. The next morning some persons were despatched to Hudson, and when finding them gone, search was made. and the broken pieces of the boat were found along shore. We understand that the pilot of the South America says that he saw nothing of the boat until he heard a scream immediately under the bow of the steamboat. He ran the bell to stop the boat, but it VI as too late. U. S. SHIP Partscrrott.—The Notfolk Herald of Tuesday says:—"ln, the trial on Saturday of the new propeller commonly called Stevens' Scull fitted to the Princeton, we learn that in running the distance of 11 miles her tweed was increased one mile and a third beyond that which she had made a shoo time before with F.ricson's propeller, under precisely similar cir cumstances. With Stevens Scull, therefore, we pre sume 12 miles an hour—a wonderful feat, when we consider that the space occupied by it is, in compari son with the hull of the ship much less than the rela- tive proportion of the palm of the hand to the human body. We saw the Pt inceton whale she was in the dry dock at Gosport, and were struck with the remark. able fact that so simple a contrivance, occupying a space almost imperceptible, should be the agent of propelling a ship. at the rate of 12 miles an hour." STEAMBOAT RonnEnT.—During the last ti ip of the Lancet to St Luuis, a pasienger was robbed of his pocket-book, containing $l,OOO in bills of the Northern Bank of Kentucky, and $lOO or $2OO in other money. A search for the money was made on the boat before she landed, but it was not fq‘niimpor the aiief detect ted. During the same trip a "green horn," who thaught becould play poker, was fleeced of a hundred dollars by three professional blacklegs. The passengtrs and officers, however, forced them to refund the money to the loser, at the peril of being lynched. FLEVR ne M•RuE.—A drama entitled Fleur de Marie, the work of Charles 11. Saunders, and embody ing the gist of the Mysteries of Paris, has been run ning near three weeks in Boston. It has also been played in New Or leans to full houses. AsSOCIATIED LABOR.—An association of Black smiths hasbeen formed at St. Loris, for thskurpose of manufacturing iron work. Their work.illtio be sent to a public store and sold for the benefit of the whole. A similar association was attempted in this city some eight years since, but after experimenting for a month or two, it was abandoned. rir The St Louis Reporter of 26th ult says the river opposite that city continues toren slowly. There is about Eti water in the channel from this place to Cai ro. The weather yesterday was mild, and favorable to outdoor business. Prime samples of wheat brought 73 cents. THE MORTALITT ON Bonin THE U S snip PRE ra.E.—The U S store-ship Erie,from Port Praya,brings full details of the lamentable mortality on board the Preble, belonging to the African Squadron. On her arrival at Rio Grande there were seventy-six on the sick list, including the I st Lieutenant and Sailing Mas ter. A correspondent of the New York Herald, in a letter dated at Rio Grande, Feb 3d, furnishes the fol lowing interesting particulars: The day after we arrived Mid Smith died, who was first on the list of deceased; in a fPw days two more died. There was no burying ground on shore of any sort; there were a few graves (which belonged to some ' English and French men-of-war) in an open common, exposed to the tmm pling of mules, goat and jackasses. As soon as the Commodore came, he purchased a lot and had a neat parapet wall built around it, with a handsome railing on top, with a cross on each angle, and one over the gateway. This precaution has been taken in order to secure the cemetery from any moles tation on the part of the natives, who would not pay the least reverence to it were it not lot these precau tions. On the extremity of the cemetery is a staff some twenty feet high, with a rattle around it and an eagle at its summit, which we are taking to,Teneriffe -.to get gilded. Each grave has a handsome bead board, with an epitaph indicating the name and grade of its occupant, and of what disease he died. There is a small foot board with the initials of the deceas ed's name on it; the Englishmen's graves was taken in with ours, and the handboards rectified, as the epi taphs were nearly illegible. The boatswain of the Preble, MrSamuel Drew, who laid out and superin tended the plan of the buryinggrounds, represented to the Commodore 4hezecessity of having some shrubs planted within the cemetery; and buying tie graves, avenue and piths paved, to secure them from the in clemency of the season, which, while it lasts, .tomes down as if througha seine, without intermission.

A GOLD Mt a c.—Gold has been found in aknost vir gin purity on the margin of a small lake in the wilder ness, in the vicinity of Sherbroake, L. C, but so great is the difficulty of obtaining it, that as yet, the quan tity is very limited. It is found projecting from the under side of a shelving rock of a mountain. It is so situated that it cannot be reached fiom below by specimenis "We are greatly rejoiced to be able to inform our friends abroad, that at the meeting advertised in the second number of the Tocsin. provision was made for paying off the whole land debt of our Association, as it becomes due.

The Domain is very beautiful and fertile, as well as admirably located. The Leraysville Phalanx, in Bradford county, Pa., has paid its debts, and almost finished the Unitary Ed ifice. It is now secure. The Trumbull Phalanx, in Trumbull Co. Ohio, has met its spring payment. which was the only obstacle in the way of success. It, too, may be regarded as permanently established. A paper will soon be published by the Brook Farm Association. The Skaneateles Community, N. Y., have applied for a charter. Greely says, "This is rather a retreat from the ground of nuer negation of all Government assumed by this Community at the outset, which we are gratified to tee, es a proof that the lessons of ex perience are not lost on the members. We hear also that they are outgrowing some other vagaries which contributed to give them an unenviable notoriety in the outset of their enterprise. Although we dissent from their fundamental principle, (Community of Property,) we do hope the Legislature will evince its justice and superiority to idle prejudice by granting them a Char ter. Let every sincere effort to improve the condition of the Laboring Mass, or (better still) to show the. mny improve it fur themselves, have a fair trial. Ex peri-nce will test them, and "Show what of good each contains." Associations rind Communities are springing up 9n different parts of the State. The taws of New York are very unfavorable to their success. The statutes makes no provision by which these bodies can vest their property in trustees for the mutual benefit of the parties interested. They must necessarily be stzjec ted to great inconvenience, many embarrassmentr end perhaps to interminable litigation. The body is liable to be involved for the unauthotized acts of the individ ual members comprising it. They need a Corporate existence. They have for their object the elevation of the depressed and toil-worn; let the Representa tives of the people throw ao obstacles in their way.— If Banking, Manufacturinr, and other bodies, whose primary object is private gain, may secure the aid of the Legislature, shall not these efforts of expansive benevolence be afforded the same facilities, to enable them to employ advantageously and recompense equi tably the industry of their hardy members? Duel.—Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, a hostile meeting took place between Judge Gilbert Leonaid and Mr. Philip Toes, two gentlemen of the parish of Plaque mines. They met in the vicinity of the U.S. barracks, below the city. The weapons used were double bar rel fowling pieces—one bane' of each loaded with a single ball. Two shots wear exchanged at the dis tance of fifty lards—the first without effect. At the second fire Mr Toca struck Judge .Leonord on the left side The ball broke the third or fourth rib, and ranging upward lodged in the neighborhood of the ight shoulder. Many reports were in circulation last evening as to the effect of the wound. We understand that it is not considered mortal. N. 0. Pie., Mardi 23. More Anti-Real Troubles.—We learn from the Albany, N. Y., papers, that on Monday last, the sher iff of Schoharie county and Under Sheriff Bouck, proceeded to the town of Blenheim and Jefferson, to serve warrants and collect rent. It is supposed that they succeeded in serving the warrants. Towards evening, they returned to Fink's tavern, at North Blenheim, and put up for the night. Between 8 and 9 o'clock, a party of 25 persons, disguised as Indians, and fully armed, entered the house, instantly seized the Sheriff and Under Sheriff, and without al lowing them to put on their hats, pushed them out of the house. At the door, they were joined by the en tire party, consisting of 150 persons, disguised, and armed with pistols, muskets, tomahawks and knives; of the muskets, 75 were counted with bayonets. Having supplied the Sheriff and deputy with Indian caps, they were placed in the centre of the party, and marched some four miles up the Westkill, and thence to the summit of the mountain, in the woods—a remote and dreary place. There they held a pow-wow around them, after having searched them uneffectually for papers, and at about two o'clock at night, they march ed back to Fink's, where they left them, without further molestation, On the, route, going and return ' ing, the Sheriff was pierced some 15 times, with the bayonet, either for walking too quick or LW slow, and his foot and leg were much bruisel. Infernal Machine.—The list masked ball at Bou logne had nearly terminated in a scene of horror.— The day before it we', to take place, it was discover ed that the floor had been taken up and a large box of powder inserted beneath, and so covered with chemi cal matches that the movement of the floor would cause the explosion. Accident alone made the discov ery. The object, nu doubt wa the pillage, which im mediately made, would have been considerable. Like the theatres of Italy, the private boxes ct this theatre areturned into so mislay private saloons for supper du ring the halls of the carnival, and those who occupy them are, of course, dressed with theutmostexpensi VP. mess.

After a most painiul, distressing illness, borne for more than 16 days, without a murmur, with most meek submission to the infliction of her Heavenly Father, and amid the unaffected lamentations °Opall around her, it pleased Gud to remove from this world's gloomy pilgrimage to a better country, a wife among the most faithful and devoted ever given as a helpmate to man. A mother whose tender affections, and whose watch ful care for her offspring were beyond all human praise. To her husband and her dear children, most bitter has been the cap of affliction, and irreparable their loss in this world. And then of her fond parents, her beloved sisters and only brother, how speak of the grief and many sears. Moat unaffected testimony to her worth as a daughter and a sitter do they bear. Truly "Death" is said "to love a shining meat," and on this occasion most embittered was his approach; but thanks be -to the God of Mercy! more patient. lamb-like submission to his Fatherly correction, both in word and endurance ; nor calmer trust in God her Redeemer, amid poignant pain and anguish of disease, hove seldom been shown, hence her bereaved relatives sorrow, not as those without hope, but believe that du ring her sore time a compassionate Saviour upheld the meek sufferer with his own Almighty Arms, and made her "perfect through sufierings."
