ebt Mailn Olorning post. PITTSBURGH, MONDAY NIAY 5, 1815 Egr A writer in the Gazette suggests that tbt! coon ty Commissioners should give ten thousand dollars to the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the fire. He proposes that a county meeting should be called for the purpose of getting a public expression in favor Ohl§ suggression. We have no objection to a county meeting on the subject, but we think a more important duty for it to attend to, would be to see that the money alrt ady in the hands of the Council is distribtnedas donors desired t should be. It was sent us to relieve the wants of those who had their little all destroyed by the fire; to be given to time as a free gift wit hoqt anvhought of compelling them torefeed it hereafter. Those who contributed this money bad no idea that our city authorities would think of speculating upon it, or that they would in dulge the project of erecting public institutions br out city WAX of a charity fund. An expression of the pub. lie feeling on this subject a ould be well, and perhaps it would enable the Councils—to whom we give full credit for a desire to dispose of the funds in et-Timmer that will be most advantageous to the sufferers—to adopt a plan of distribution that will vie more satis faction to the public and b 3 more creditable to our city than the one now contemplated. acr The Clarion Democret and Mercer Whig suggest that our city authorities should purchase a square somewhere in the burnt district, enclose it, plant trees and shrubbery, lay out walks and erect fountains and make it a public promenade. The sug gestion is a good one, hut we fearthe city's financial con dition will not permit our authorities to indulge in the luxury of a public square at the present time. The late fare will greatly curtail the revenue of the city, and the price that would be asked for lots in the burnt dis trict would be ranch higher than they coultl be pur chased fur in any ether part of the city. The lot on which the old Basin stands could with a-small outlay be made a beautiful public square, and its location is bettar adapted for such a purpose than any other quarter of the city. Onto CREDIT.—The people of Ohio are already beginning to feel the effects of whig legislation on the credit of their state. The Cincinnsti Enquirer says that the rapid decline which is now taking place in the prices of Ohio Stocks, and the consequent depre ciation in the credit of the State, in the estimation of distant circles, will puzzle greatly the ingenui!y of the reader to find any cause for it other than the now too generally notorious fact, that the financial management of the State is again in the control of the same party and the same individuals, who, a few years since, by the bungling schemes and wretched policy, forced us upon the verge of repudiation, and only saved our credit by the most extravagant prodigality—hawking our bonds about the street like pedlars of old clothes, and only escaping the epithet of " Repudiator," by gambling away about India million. The tax payers of Ohio should rot stiffer their at tention to be lured away from the condition of their State creditand the depreciation in the prices of their . Stocks, by the excitations which come from interested sources of ' Pew Banks" and plenty of paper money. Tbereis an intimate ecialiection between the declining of State credit and the rising of new Bank `Very few of the whig papers have vet heard that an election was recently held in Virginia. The election of tt whig constable or town clerk, in Massa chusetts, would be sent forth with a grand flouri,ll of trumpets, bat the result in the Old Dominion appears to be beneath their notice. Perhaps the knowledge that at the late election the people have settled the fate of the traitor Rives, is too painful to their feeling to per mit them to make the fact known to their followers.— Virginia has done her duty nobly, and the next Legis lature will expurgate from the U. S. Senate the man who has so long misrepresented the stale in that body. The democratic majority in the Legislature is large and certain, and 19 of the 15 members of Con grass are democrats. It is not surprising that out Whig cotemporaries do not like a result like this. CLE•ELAND is a great place fi , r "sights." A short time since they were exhibiting a fire horned Bull, and now they are in a high state of excitement caused by the appearance of a six legged Pig among them. The editor of the Plain Dealer does not ap pear to dunk much of the six legged stranger, and expresses a derided preference for the breed of "stri ped Pigs" once so celebrated in Massachusetts. THE ALGERINE SPIRIT.—John an rld algerine, in a long letter to the rrevidenee J, urnal, denounces the conduct of Messrs. Simmons, Jackson, and some other Whigs in Rhode IsJana, in deserting the law and order party, as an act of "cold blooded treachery." The letter is pointed and severely per in its terms of condemnation, and will of course call forth a reply. The proposed release of Dorr, he denounces as a coward step, and cries out shame to those who propose it. ' COURTYRFEITS.—Twenty dollar counterfeit notes on the Harrisburg Bonk are in circulation in Phils . delphia.-1 hey resemble the genuine hills nf that de. nomination, but have a somewhat blurred appearance. The letter "D." in the word "Dollars," on the body of the notes, stands too far to the left of the ''o." They are dated Oct. 7, 13'40. Counterfeit $.5 notes of the Lancaster Bank, signed Christian Burkina's, Cash'r. and J. Eames. Preet., are in circulation in Philadelphia. TiLOPSNENT—.FOLLY AND .'RINK.—The N. Y. Tribune contains; a letter dated Troy, N. Y., April 27th, which says: A few days ago a young man in this city by the name of S. Yandarheyden came into possession of about $12,000 cash on the day he at tained his majority, and the same evening ran away with another man's wife. The woman, a Mrs Wel more, is about 21 years old and has been married five of six years. She is a handsome creature—an accomplished singer and pianist—is very respectably connected, and has moved in good society. Thn young man has heretofore borne a good character, is said to have been an obedient and affectionate son, the pride and hope of a widowed mother. Tat Port CHALLEPOIT.-Mr Hoover, a gentle:- man of Boston, who, a few days since, had a religious dispute with Mr. 0. H. Brownaon which ended in a pugilistic encounter, has made the following impor tant announcement: "There are some who think my motive is to ad vance the interests of certain political parties. I can only say, in ally of our political parties, I take no inte rest at all. As political parties, they must fight their own battles. But if ikey desire it, ril fi g ht the Pope." Gallant Mister Hoover! far m StockboOars of ant Chesapeake and Ohio Canal have accepted the bill passed by the la Maryland Legislature for the completion of the Canal. TO THE COUNCILS OF THE CITY There are principles involved in the question of re lief, in which you are susw engaged, that cannot be lost sight of without manifest wrong to suffering persona. The writer is no lawyer, but be will venture to remark, that the COrporete.authoritics are but trustees for the specific 'dispensation of a public charity,—and are bound to the sacred observance of the intentions of the donors. To know and faithfully execute these in tentions,lcomprises the rule and limits of what the Court oils are to do, impaying out the money in their hands to the sure rers from the late fire. It does not appear that any restricted or contingent application of the funds received for the sufferers was designed. The money has been given, and is to be paid over as a donation, and not stryet loan. Moneys in trust, un'ess it entets into the nature and conditions of the trust, cannot honestly be held for the uses of the trustee. The city, therefore, cannot loan out this money in such way as finally to possess it in their dis cretion for any purpose whatever, without a violation of its duty to the benevolent abroad, and the sufferers at home. It is reproachful, if not scandalous, to talk of loaning out the funds of charity to owners of lots, to aid in erecting buildings, when the very persons for whose immediate relief it was designed, aresuffering. Let the city Councils know that they area legal cor poration, nnswerable to all aggrieved persons for the faithful discharge of this trust, and that a jury may be called upon to decide between them and individuals for whose benefit they are entrusted with funds. Be this as it may, it is desirable to have this delicate and difficult matter disposed of as promptly and satisfac torily as possible. The writer has no claim upon tha , above fund, and has no wish but tn add a few thou;hts , to the mnny 'sheerly advanced to aid in the work. The whole question so far as the actions of Conn• cils are concerned, is one of humanity. To relieve its sufferings money has been provided, and not to erect buildings or repair fortunes lost. These last are the work of time, of industry, i,diridual elterprise, and accumulated wealth. The suffer ing population, by uhom these results are to be brought about. need all the means provided jar them —and nerd it at once. Let it be given to them.— But how? Let the absolutely desti•ute individual or family, have his or their clothes, la;cis, tables, chairs, port, &c., fully made tip, to the point essential, that each in their respective departments of industry may become avail able, whatever that department may be. This class of sufferers need full relief. After this class is reliev ed at the wholly destitute class, let the whole remain ing sufferers, actually undeniable personal sufferers' burnt out within the district, receive a dividend of the balance of the funds, according to the number in each family—making some allowance for widows and or: phans, and aged and helpless persons, if it he thought proper so to do. By this plan, the charitable inten tions of the State, and donors from abroad, would be promptly gratified, and the whole fund go into immedi ate circule tion, and do much tu advance at once the prosperity of even• branch of trade, for eve-y branch would feel its expenditure and would th , rve by it. It is not pretended that the above plan is faultless. but it vt ill cover the true ground. The noticn of dividing the funds accm d ing to the estimated amounts of losses, is most unjust, and repugnant of necessity to all ideas of relief to suffering humanity. Was it the burning of houses, or the cries of distress, 'bat resulted from the burning, that r•enetrnted the hearts and sympathies of distant places It Let its not make ourselves ridiculous and raliout by a niggardly perversion, or diversion of the bounty of those who have made haste to give fur our relief, what we know not how to distribute. SECRETARY OF STATI. The New York Plebeian, in speaking of Mr Bu clianan's course U.S 3w•retury, makes the following just remarks "We observe, in some of the Federal papers great ealcidroirms upon the "prudence" and "moderation" of Mr Buchanan, our new Secretary of State, in the set tlement of our difficulties with foreign countries.— One of these prints has suddenly discoveted that Mr Buchanan is "a gentlemen of great singneity and rail lion—a safe enameller, and a far-seeing statesmnn!" Others again felii halo themselves ore having aileh a man in the Cnbinet to subdue •'the wur spit it" of the Executive. We are rejoiced In say to three willing ads isers. that the new new Secretary does not deserve their injurious applause in the sense in which it is in tended. Mr Buchanan is a “prudent," discreet and reflecting statesman: his great place rerptires the ex• erzise of forbearance and reflection. But, in regard to our right to the Oregon territory there is not a statesman in the lurid who has expressed himself more strongly cr more eloquently. Ilia most powerful el fort, in the American Senate have be-en Omar clear and lucid explanntions of the right of the American people to the Oregon territory. It is to Mr Buchanan the late Dr. Linn, Senator Alien, and a few others, that we are indebted for the sound public opinion in favor of the claim of the pea ple of the United States. that was so strongly and ir risistably expressed at the late Presidential election. I The expectation, therefore, that our Secretary of finite i will ever yield an inch of the bold, high ground he has' ever occupied, in regard to this question, is most un just in him, and to the country. Great Britain will find him prepared to assert the American claim to Oregon with dignity, candor and ability; and those who believe that his "prudence" will lead him to sur render a hair-breadth of what is righteously ours, will soon be compelled to acknowledge their emirs. The haughty and patronising •perches of the Brit ish Premier, and others of the nobility, will have no eff'ocit upon JA7dlta BUCII %NAN, and will cer- tnibly not intimidate him in the fearless discharge of his own high duties. Delicate are Iris responsibilities —high and influential his position—wide and effect ive his influence—he in not the man to pause in a Ca reer which be has marked out for himself, which pub-1 lic opinion has indicated, and which the interests ell the country imperatively demand shall he carried out. •Great Britain, and those on this side who mein favor of Great Britain and against this country, will soon realize this to tle-ir bitter cost. The letter of Mr BTICHAICAN to Gen ALMONTE. the Mexican Minister, is a document that has rarely been equalled. It covers the whole ground with a few words, and indicates the determination of the govern ment of the United States, in regard to the annexation ofTexas, forcibly and fearlessly. This letter is sig nificant of the course of the Now Secretary in regard to the Oregon question; for it 'is hardly fair to fuesume that there will he hesitation in regard to Oregon, which is not a party riestion, and was carried through the House by a vote of both parties in the Into Con• gress; while the nnnexation of Texas, which was sub I stantially a Democratic measure, has been boldly and fearlessly carried nut by the government and its agents, regardless of all the ORVAL% of open and concealed op ponents. Caution to Railroad Companies.—lt wine seen under the head of law reports in yesterday's paper, that the jury in the cause of Willis vs. the Redeem Rail road Company, rendered a verdict of $lOOO for the plaintiff. The Judge, in his charge to the jury, laid down the three following proposition as the law ap plicable to the•case under consideration, viz That the company were' bound to have their earl and machinery properly constrwctcd and suitable to the purposes for which they were used, and the materials of which they were composed of good quality. Second, to em ploy noncleit diligent persons acquainted with their duties, and capable of performing them; nnd, thirdly that means ought to have been adopteri (if any could be devised) to prevent the cars from overturning in case of an at cident happutring to any other part of the ma chinery. Such is the law laid down by judge Oakley , one of the soundest lawyers in the State, from which it will be seen ihat those who are engaged in the carrying trade, whether by Railroad. Steamboat, or otherwise, for the principles are the same in respect to all, are bound to have z. btir vehicles complete in all their parts —to employ none but diligent and skilful persons, and that all precautions should he taken beforehand to to guard against accidents. There are a dozen other actions pending against the company, all growing out of the same cause.—N Y News. «•R WITA MYEICO.—The N. Y. Journal of Corn melee publishes the following extract of a letter from the city of Mexico, dated 28th of March:— "The Government has issued orders for the defence of the ports, fortresses &c., and it is acknowledged that if Texas does not comply with their last request, the war will be openly delcarcd."

Mr Bogardus declared that he would not touch a single article to remove it, and they cou!ci not make him, although they threatened eery hard. After they got the things removed into the street, they commended him to take an axe and cut clown the posts—this he resolutely refused. The In dians finding threats of no avail, cut off tho corner posts themselves, and then went to work in demolish ing the work which they did effectually. Melancholy Deaths in Haverhill.—We have just been infortned of a melancholy event that transpired in Haverhill last evening. Mr. T.homas Gatleld. of this city, well known as one of our most estimable citizens, and as having been engaged in the shoe and boot bu siness in Congress street for many years, and Mr. William Edwards, one of the most active citizens of Haverhill, :near,' from the village last evening about 7 o'clock, to take a pleasure ride together, with Mr. Garfield's horse and carriage. In the course of half ur three trailers of an hour, they were discover ed dead by some passing traveller beneath the precipice of a hill, a short distance ftom town. The bodies were already cold. At the first, tight, nothing was observed but the c•trriage. On further observation, it appeared that the bodies of Mr. Gaffield and Mr. Edwards lay he neath the horse, who was found directly across their breasts, and the horse was lying beneath the wagon, the ',hafts of which were both broken. The neck of Mr, Edwards was broken. and Mr. Gaffield must have been crushed by the weight of the horse. The horse was found to be alive, but so tangled in the harness, that be could not free himself. The bo. dies were taken out from beneath the horse, and eon• veyed to the village. The hocie is still alive, and will paobably do well. It is supposed that the animal must have bad a fit, or become suddenly Lightened, and thus hacked over the precipice. The fall was something like 20 or 30 feet, and the deaths mast have been nearly instantaneous. The mel ancholy inteCigeneehascreated great sensation in Hat- erbi LI , and will also do so in this city, where Mr Gaf field particulativ was so well known and esteemed.— Their deaths will leave a void in the community, and in the social circles in w hirh they moved, which will not easily be filled. They have both left fami lies to mourn !heir sodden and diAtreliaing departure from our midst. The friends of Nlr Gaffielii have gone to Haverhill, and will, if pos sible, hring the bony into the city this forenoon at 11 o'clock. Mr Gaffield's age was about GO, and Mr Ed wards about 10. 11• c are ind •hted for the above particulars to Mr Fat wrll, of the firm of J II & Farwell. From n Late London I'aper THE IRON TRADE. A meeting of the leading firms in the South Stafford iron train was held on Thursday, at Wolverhampton. 'to consider the state and prospects of the trade, pre sinus to the approaching quarterly meeting. After a lengthened discussion it was proposed. and met with ! unanimous approval, that an advance of 40.. a ton in the price of manufactured iron should take place next quarter-day. the orders at present in hand, as well as those anticipated, fully justifying this important step. The pi ice of bar and rod iron will, it is expected, be I £l2 per ton; hoop iron. £l3; sheet iron, for singles, £l4; and pigs, £6 10s. to £7. Some correspondents express great apprehension of the consequences that may arise to the general trade it. articles manufactured from iron from the great con 'tempt ion and enormous price caused by the railways.— ' I They observe that within a few months bar iron has ad vanced from £5 to £l2 per ton, and pig iron from 355. to 130 s.—an advance unprecedented. The prospects of the railroads requiring nearly the whole 'make' of iron for the next three years is viewed with alarm as it is said that one year more, with iron at its pres ent price will totally destroy foreign trade and the man ' ufacture of the article. America is viewed as a dan gerous competitor, likely to take advantageof the dim louden of our foreign trade created by this absorption of iron by the Railways.—The capital that is in New York and Boston might easily find its way into Amer ican iron districts, and the 'make' might be increased to such an amount as to supply markets now com pletely dependent upon Greet Britain. It is estimated that the "make" of iron last year was 1210.000 tons; and that the make of 1345 may by exertion on the part of the iron masters, reach 1, 330,000 tons. The consumption for the ordinary home market, and 460 000 exported, and (if the rail ways now making took thesame last year as in the estimate for this) new railways 150,000-1,090, 000 tons. Expecting an increase of 40,000 in the ex port, the consumption of 1845 is estimated at 1,130,- 000 tons. 2000 miles of new railway (proposed) it is estimated, will require G7O tons for every mile,or 1,- 330,000 tons, half of which it is thought will bo wanted in 1845, and half in 1846, increasing the esti mated consumption of 1845 to 1,800,000 tons. "The estimate then stands-1895, 1,800,000 tons; 1846, 1,650.000 tons; 1847, 920,000 tens, to which we may add, perhaps, some 50.000 or 60 000 tone - (considering all this railway &c.) for increase in ordi nary consumption awd export; bnt this quantityetinnet be supplied so fast. We may estimate, (supposing that there are 200,000 tons present stock) stock 200,- 000 tons make 1,3'30,000 for 1895, or 270,000 tons short of the demand. Demand for 1846, 1,920,000 tons, supply increased to 1,500.000, are 230,000 short. Demand for 1847, 1,400,000 tons, supply increased to 1,580,000, or 420,900 tons short. De mend for 1847, 1,900,000 tons; supply 1,500,000, leaving 100,000 milli stock; supplieble for 1848, 1,- 300,000 tons; demand, say 1,030,000 tons. We be-1 leive, however, that there is a very large over esti mate 'node of the quantity likely to be required for new railways. Many of the projects now announced will either be completed in part only or laid aside alto gether, while others, having Ihe best support and the best localities, must be much slower in their progress ' titan the most moderate of those engaged in them would imagine. The following passage is from a new work entitled "A journey from Naples to Jerusalem," written by Dawson Barrer, Esq: BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA. "Tarrying tt few minute.; beneath a large lute tree, we, giving our horses to our followers to hold, pro ceeded on foot down a slope of considerable extent, leading to the very shores of the sea. The soil is here exceedingly rich; and we found one or two Arabs em ploying themselves in weeding beds of a kind of cu-1 cumber very much like vegetable marrow, which was thriving luxuriantly: the ground is, indeed, amazingly fertile on this declivity, and well irrigated by the wa ters from the fountain above. At the foot of this slope we came upon a bed of beach, and quietly stood upon the margin of the most extraordinary sea that man ever gazed upon. A line of dead and prickly Hudson Gazette Boston Times Igr The London Spectator,in a discourse on 'the English gentleman,' announces that in 'England alone, 'the lie' is considered the greatest and must inexplica ble insult." That is a most impudent assertion, and shows that the writer knows not what he is talking of The lie given in this country is a mortal affront, • fierce and blasting insult. If the Spectator had afford ed us examples of the English gentlemen in the aggre gate. as well as a particular, it would have helped out the discourse. It might have added, that the oligar chy of English gentlemen in Parliament one hundred years ago made a law affixing an artificial value to the land at that time, for the purpose of taxation, and that although the land has increased from ten to ten thousand fold in some instances, the gentlemanly land lords only pay the same taxes, leaving to the lower orders" to make up the difference. It might have added. ton, that all the young gentlemen of noble or in fluential families, who cannot live by their money or wits on land, are put into the navy, the army. or the church, which' the bwer orders" pay for. It might have added, that during the past sixty years a hand ful of English gentlemen have plundered India of a thousand million sterling; and that the English gen tlemen generally butchered the Chinese in order to o• pen a market for the poison raised by their East India slaves. And so we might go on. to exhibit the solid national propensities of English gentlemen, who are in our oracle's view, the only absolutely veracious per sons in the world.—Phil. Ledger. A Bear Story.—A letter from Jakoustk, (Siberia,) of November 20, in the Gazette de Kasen, contains the following strange account: "The colony of Wesh naic Laba has just been the theatre of a sad event. Three colonists, Sahanieff, Dmytreff. and Bioloborsky, were out hunting in the forest of Laba, when they got posession of two little bear cubs, which they took home with them. Three days had elapsed, and the rough strangers bad begun to get familiarized with their hosts, when, on the night of the fourth day, dreadful howlings were heard in the village. The colonists. more curious than alarmed, went out to see what was the matter; but their surprise was extreme when they beheld the cottage which contained the cubs surrounded by bears, standing on their hind legs, howling dreadfully. The colonists ran fur their fire arms and hachets, and a fierce combat arose. The bears rushed on the men, though several were killed by the first discharge, they furiously continued tt eir attack, and could only be routed when a cabin was set on fire. The flames frightened them, and they at last retired. Eight large bears remained life• less on the ground; five men were killed and thirty wounded, some of them grievously." Galignani's Messenger.

TILE COMIPANY Have been 'elected with much care, and comprise many already favorably known to the community. The Theatre will be connected with SHIRES' GARDEN, Now in successflll operation, and the best talent of the country will be produced alternately, at both es tablishments. Conscious that the Drama is in a deplorable condi tion, and deservedly se, in consequence of improper, and urqualified Managers presiding overits destinies, it will be nor aim to elevate end restore it te the biah moral standing it originally possessed, and to accomp lish this end, we are determined to banish everything of an obscene or profane nature, from the Stage;and nothing shall be done or said that could bring to the cheek of modessy a blush, or offend the most fastidi ous. Our object is, to make the Theatre a place where talent, taste and beauty, may assemble to hear the eternal truths of nature, deliveted with , flowing speech and graceful action; to behold in a mirror, the most secret springs of the human passions; to sea-vir tue triumphant and vice crushed; to smile at the quaint humor and the sparkling wit, the keen satire and the withering sarcasm—to admire the well turned period, and the eloquent rhapsody—the harmonious verse or the nervous proae—to mingle their tears with those shed by suffering humanity, and ring oat thei r joyous laugh, with the wholesome mirth those of whose hearts are light with innocence and hope; let these ends, we say, be attained, and the Drama becomes a great benefactor to civilized man. The Theatre will be conducted on liberal principles and no opportunity to afford RELIEF TO THE UNFORTUNATE, Will be permitted to escape oar notice, or fail to gain a full share of our benevolent sympathies. Weals° pro propose to tender to the FIREMEN OF PITTSBURGH, The Entire Receipts of One Niekt of each Season, (the night to he selected by them,) as a token of respect for their untiring and patriotic exertion to protect on ■ll occasions, the lives and property of their fellow• citizens.
