GENERAL SUMMARY OF'JfEWS.
PREPARATIONS FOR WAR,
Whether or not we are to have war,
great preparations are being made for
it. The army is to be increased 10,000
men; the militia are to be in readiness for
immediate training; the ordinance crops
are to receive an accession of 15,00 men;
the royal marines 2500 men; and the
land frcgineats of the line 6000. The
increase of the navy will be about 1000
men.
From Persia we hear that the cholera
is raging furiously.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert will,
it is said, after her accouchment, visit
France. The Duke and Duchess of Ne
mours are repaired lo London to accom
pany them.
In one year, ending 5th Jan., 1815,
229,241 quarters of wheat aud wheat
flour were imported into England from
Canada.
A fleet of steamers is to assemble
in the Spring for exercise in the Chan-
! ncl.
Some of the Birmingham manufactu
rers have memoralized Sir R. Peel in fa
vor of the abolition of the duty on tin and
copper ores.
According to the German newspapers,
there is now raging in several parts of
Russia a violent disease among cattle, sim
ilar in every, respect to the cholera.
The Spanish and English Governments,
it is said, are about forming a commercial
treaty by which Spanish wines and Cu
ba sugars are to be received into this
country on favorable terms; the manufac
tured goods of England to be admitted
into Spain at low rates of duty.
By using two rotary engines in con
junction, one worked by steam from wa
ter, the other by steam from sulphnric
acid, Monsieur Trembly has, it is said, ef
fected a saving of fifty per cent, in fuel,
acquired great additional power, and con
verts salt water into fresh.
The idea broached by the London
Times of the re-cstablishment of monar
chy in Mexico has been received, upon
the whole, with favor by the Parisian
press. Even the republican National
does not denounce it, iP it be the pleasure
of the Mexicans: but insist upon the full
liberty of action being allowed them. It
also advises that in any measure the
French government may be induced to
join in, care be taken that it be not made
the dupe of England.
Mr. King, the American Minister, at
Paris, gave a grand ball on Monday, in
celebration of Washington's birth-dayj.
The fete was a most splendid one, -.and
appeared to afford the highest gratifica
tion to all the guests, and will rank among
tlie most brilliant of the present season.
Washington Irving, the United States
Minister at Madrid, has quitted Paris af

A Crasii the Temple. W'e learn
that on Sunday last, the Saints assembled
in the hall of the Temple, which' is in the
third story, to hear the last sermon of
Brigham Young previous to his departure.
So great was the weight, that the timbers
gave way with a loud crash, like report
of fire arms. The alarm and confusion
was tremendous. Some of the Saints
broke out the windows and leaped to the
ground. One man had his shoulder
fractured and others were badly hurt in
thus attempting to escape . The crowd,
however, succeeded in escaping before
any very serious injury was done to the
building. Our informant estimates the
damage at from $500 to a ?1,000. War

A OF WAIT.
Important from tbe Army of
. Occupation.
.We are indebted to tlie New Orleans
Picayune for an Extra, under date of
March 14, .containg the following inter
esting and important intelligence:
The steamship . Galveston, Capt.
Wright, arrived at this , port at an early
hour this morning. She left the bay of
Aransas on the 11th, and the city of Gal
veston at noon, on the 12th inst. Her
news is important.
The main body of Gen. Taylors army
hnd marched towards Brazos St. Jago,
and tlie last regiment, with Gen. Taylor
and his staff, was to leave on the 12th
inst. There were rumors tiiat a large
force of Mexicans had been concentrated
to oppose tlie advance of Gen. Taylor's
force, and these produced considerable
excitement. -The United States troops
were in the highest spiritsjn expectation
of a conflict with the enemy. The fol
lowing orhers have been issued by the
General:
Head Quarters Army of Occupation,
Corpus Chnsti, March 8 1846.
As the Army is about marching to the
frontier on a delicate service, the Com
manding General wishes it distinctly un
derstood, that no person not properly at
tached to it, will be permitted to accom
pany the troops, or establish themselves
in their vicinity, either on the route or on
the Rio Grande, on any pretence whatev
er. It may save many individuals use
less expense and annoyance to be inform
ed that rigid measures will be taken to
enforce this regulation, which is deemed
necessary for the interest of the public
service. By direction of the General.

Orders, No. 30. The Army of oc
cupation being about to. take possession
of the left bank of the Rio Grande; under
the orders of the Executive of the United
Stites, the General commanding deems it
proper to express his hone that the move
ment will prove beneficial to all concern
ed, and that nothing may be wanting on
his part to insure so desirable a result, he
strictly enjoins upon his command the
most scrupulous regard for the rights of
all persons who may' be found in the
peaceable pursuit of their respective avo
cations, residing on both banks of the
Rio Grande. No person under any pre
tence whatever, wiii interfere in any man
ner with the civil rights and religious
privileges of the people, but will pay the
utmost respect to both. Whatever may
B'e required for the use of the arniy will
be purchased by the proper departments
at the highest market price. The Gen
eral commanding is happy to say that he
has entire confidence in the patriotism and
discipline of the army under his command
and feels assured that his orders, as a
bove expressed, will be strictly observ

U. S. Army, commading.
The proclamation above has been
published in the Spanish language, and
issued to the inhabitants of the Rio Gran
de. The first Brigade, under the command
of Brevet Brigadier General W. J.VY'orth
composed of the Battalion of Artillery,
commauided by Lieut. Col. Thomas
Childs and the eighth Regiment of Infant
ry, commanding by Lieut. Col. W. G.
Belknap, left their encampment on the
morning of the 9th for their destination.
The 2d Brigade, cemmandsd by Lieut.
Col. J. S. Mcintosh, of the 5th regiment
of Infantry, under Major T. Brown,
struck their tents on the morning of the
10th, and took up the line of march for
the Rio Grande.
The 3d Brigade, commanded by Col.
W, Whistler, composed of the 3d Regi
ment of Infantry, commanded by Lieut.
Col. E. A. Hitchcock, and the 4th Infan
try p, commanded by Lieut. Col. J. Gar
land, were to take final leave of their old
Corpus Christi encampment, on Wed-1
ncsdiiy, the 11th instant, to join tne m;.ia
Army.
The steamer Cincinnati,and almost eve
ry thing else, is said to be chartered for
the use of the army. ' -
The squadron of transports are to
leave on the 20th inst. under convoy of
the U. S. cutter Woodbury, Capt Foster
and the steamer Monmouth.
Gen. Meja is said to have returned to
Matamors on the 2d inst. The Mexican
troops this side the Rio Grande if any
are said to be under the command of
Garcia, Canales and Severicgo. It was
reported in Galveston that Gen. Taylor
had inade a requisition for more troops,
but ths report was doubted.
Corpus Christi has been literally a
bandoned. The hangers on of tlie army
are leaving for the East as fast as possi
ble. The respect so strictly enjoined for
the rights of private property, will meet
with univeral approbation.
A Convict Skot.
The Harrisburg Argus of Monday says:
A convict named John Gibbs, whom it
will be recollected last fall of a series of
bold and daring burglaries in thisborough,
and sentenced to nine years imprisonment
at hard labor in the County jail, was shot
by Mr. Wm. Watson, keeper of the
prison, yesterday morning. The facts 6f
the cise are as folio ws: About 6 o'clock
Mr. Watson went into the passage, as u
sual, to serve the prisoners with breakfast;
when he came to the cell occupied by
Gibbs, he opened the outer doof, and the
convict instantly put his arm through the
hole in the inner door, drew back ineboif,
nd rushed into the passage towards Mr. J
Vatson. The latter drew a revolving .
a
W
pistol, and ordered him to stand back, or
he would shoot, and finding him still ad
vancing, he drew the trigger, but missed
fire. Gibbs then clinched ths keeper,
and threw him on his back, but Mr. Wat
son turned himself so that he got his feet
against the prisoner's breast, by which
means he pushed him off and again at
tempted to fire, but without effect. Gibbs
closed ou him a second time; and threw
him, when a deadly struggle took place
the convict using the most desperate ef
forts to wrench the pistol from the keep
er's .hand. In the course of the struggle
the convict sau!,Give me the pistol aud
I will let yon alone; if you don't I will
kill you." An alarm, however, would
have been of little consequence, as the
door leading to the passage was locked
ou the inside. Watson know iug this,
and seeing that the issue was life or death,
struggled manfully for a few moments:.
when he got his arm around the convict,
and discharged one of the loads of tlie
pistol in his back. Gibbs instantly relin
quished his hold, and both regained their
feet, when Watson fired again, and the
shot took effect in Gibbs' left side, in the
region of the heart. He then retreated to
his cell, followed by the keeper. When
he was inside he again turned upon the
keeper, who fired the third time, the ball
passing directly through his breast, when
the convict fell, and in a few moments ex
pired. ' Gibb3 was a light mulatto, aged about
40 years, 12 or 15 of which he has spent
in the Eastern Penitentiary. He was a
most desperate and ; hardened villain, and
has several times threatened to take the
life of Mr. Watson. It is but a few
weeks ago that he made an ingenious but
unseccessful attempt to escape. It is ev
ident that his intention was to take advan
tage of the stillness of tlie Sabbath morn
ing wrest the keys from the keeper, force
him into his cell, and thus make his es
cape; but fortunately he was foiled, and
Mr. Watson deserves credit for sending
to his final account such a black-hearted
and blood-thirsty villian, who constantly
placed the lives of all in jeopardy who
came in contact with hiin.
The Coroner held an inquest, and the
jury returned a verdict of "justifiable hom
icide. After the rendition of the verdict, the
body was suffered to lay an hour in front
of the jail, a sickening sight, to gratify a
morbid curiosity, after which it was remo
mored to the talmshousc for burial, and
thus ends a career of crime and infamy.
From Canada.
Montreal, March 16.
The events of the past week with one
or two exceptions, are so meagre of pub
lic interest as to be scarcely worth chroni
cling.
A decided thaw appears to set in, and
anv one who has ever seen the breaking
up of winter in Canada, can form an idea
of the present condition of the streets and
thoroughfares of Montreal. The massea
of ice detached from the roofs by the
mild weather have caused numcrsus ac
cidents. On Friday, a young man was
killed instantaneously, by the descent of
one of thse avalanches, and may persons
have - had narrow escapes. The St
Lawrence has become dangerous for
crossing in the neighborhood of Montreal;
the ice traverse opposite the city, is for
a considerable distance more than two
feet under water; two horses were
drowned a day or two since, while
crossing at Bout de l'lsler, the driver es
caped.
Montreal t3 at present blessed with two
Mayors; the votes of both parties are e
qual, and each claims the victory for its
candidate. Pending legal investigation
touching the validity of one of the votes,
one of the councillors elected being A
mcrican born, and supposed not to have
been naturalized as a British subject, the
former Mayor, who is also one of the
candidates for the present mayorality.
holds office. The other candidate for the
chief magistracy is American born, but is
believed to have been duly naturalized.
The half yearly statement of the Bank
of Montreal, shows the monthly average
of notes discounted at $5,922,610 ths
liabilies, $3,701,381 the assets,$0,907,
014. ILoss of two More Sleatal 12 oat
and oftwoLlves.
We regret to announce the loss or two
more metal boats, and one of the lives of
two of the hands. Mr. Joseph Wentzel
had loaded four boats with the metal of
Mr. W. B. Fetzer, Messrs. Shippen and
Black, and Messrs. Reynolds and Sons.
Two of his boats were sunk at Plumer's
dam in Clarion River. The other two
reached the Allegheny in safety, and on
Thursday evening attempted to land at
Ivattannmg, but failed. Another attempt
was made at Picket's Eddy and two of
the hands landed to cable fast to the shore,
but this also failing, the boats parsed on,
leaving the two men. It .was now night
and the boats, which were lashed togeth
er, struck a pier of the Aqueduct, and
sunk and both of tlie hands, one named
John Shilling, and another, a young Irish
man, from Washington furnace, name not
recollected, were drowned.
These make the number of boats lost,
ten, with between 6 and 700 tons of met
al, tlie most of which will be recovered
in low water. Pitts. Amcr.
There is great cause for fear that many
lives and much property have been lost at
sea in the recent severe gales A large
number of vessels have arrived at New
York," Philadelphia and this port within
a day or two past, and their officers all
concur in representing the gales of the
Mthand 15th ult., and the 2nd and 3d

that comes into port has escaped injury?
many of them have been very much
