The Wilmington Commercial of yesterday says: At about half pant 7 o'clock last evening two gentlemen walking np Blxlh street notloed an unusual light in u little two-story house on Penn street. There -was no other building between this bouse and the o irner, so the side of the bonse Is plainly visible from Birth street. They weut lo tue house, aud hearing aoreams and finding the door locked, they burst It open, and as they did so tbe woman who oooupled tbe bouse came down from the story above, her clothes all ablaze. Hhe ran Into tbe street; wherejtlie gentleman followed her and with great difficulty succeeded In extinguishing tbe flames. The woman was, however, horribly burned before tbe eQ'jrts to save fcer were successful, and in her desperate anony several times Hung off the wrappings by which the fire was being smothered. Her body, lower limbs, side, arm. and face were badly burned , ber arm so terribly that the sickening smell ot tbe scorching flesh was quite evident In the neighborhood. Her name Is Mrs. Ryan, er Rlne; she Is a Frenchwoman, and has earned a scanty sub sistence by sewing, and was reputed lo koup a house or 111-fame. Tbe fire was caused by a coal oil lamp ex plodlrg, or oiberwlse breaking and throwing tbe burning oil on her clothing. She lived through tbe nlgbt la great agony, and tbls morning was sent to tbe almshouse.

Admiral ifobart, who was formerly a captain In the Kugllsh navy. Is now tne nrlnol pal naval officer In tbe Turkish aervloe. During the present reign great efforts have been irvvle to Improve the stateof tbe Turkish navy. At area t ooet It ban been Increased botU In men and ships.

Neurlyall these ships were lost during tbe KuRslau war; those wulcb were not destroyed at Hluone were lost In storms in tbe HUuk 8a. In IS-iS therefore, the InrklNh navy did not, for any practical purpose, exist. Hut In the course of two or three year more thuu twenty uew screw steamers wru bulit, the combined armament of whloli con sisted of 820 Runs.

Most of the other ships, wnloti were screw steamers, were built at tbo Turklsii dockyards, one ol wtiloli Is at Cotislatillnopl, another at Ismldt, another at Uhluiiiiek, and the last at Amasura, In Asia Minor.

The Madison (Wisconsin) Journal savs: Borne days ao we published au extract from the lloston Traveller, purporting to give some laots in regard to several mail ootitraots not, entirely conaplimentnry to the Postmaster General. Ho soon as it appeared we published also Mr. Itaudall's version of the matter, as given tbroogh the JntcUi'jencvr at Washington. By tbe last mail we renewed a le'ter from tbe Postmaster-General, which we give below, being anxious ILa'. he should have the benefit of his own version of the matter. It 1-t not our Intention to do Injustice to any public man. Here is tbe letter: Post O t-iuK Department, Washington, Dec. 26. 1k(i8. My Hear Sir: I have Just re,d lu tbe Journal tbe article copied from tbe HostO'i Traveller In regurd to contracts made by this department, aud particularly devoted to my private afluirs. I had no reason to expect such a publication in tbe Journal. I bopelt will not be considered out of the way for me to ask you to publish from ine that there is not a woid of trulu In the who'e article tbat you publish. Tre facts In regprd to the Wells, Fargo & Co. contract are stated lu the report, a copy of which I send you. They were also stated In my annual report, n copy of which I sent you. It Is turning out a good contract for the department and a hard one for tbe contractors. It was made uuder the advice of Benator Morgan, of New York; .Sena tor Cole, of California; Horace Greeley, of Nw York, and other gentlemen of obaraoter and high standing. The Arizona contract was raada by Governor Dennison while he was Postmaster-General. 1 knew nothing of it, and had nothing lo do with It when it was made, and if It Is not elven up will outlast my term of office. Tbe Baltimore steamship contract to Havana, via Key West, was made by me. It costs thir teen hundred dollars a month, and Is the only mall supply for Key West from the whole North, and is a necessary service. The servloe performed by tbe line to Ha vana they receive no special compen sation for. Tbe service Is cheaperlban thesame service was ever let before, so far as I am able to ascertain. I cannot find fault wttu the assaults upon my personal character, because much better men than myself are treated In tbe same way all over tbe country by an en lightened public press. As to my olrcum stances (pecuniarily), I can only say that 1 waa not a bankrupt a few years ago, and tbat I am not now worth 8200.000. nor a tenth part of that sum. If any .fool who writes for the sensation newspapers will pay me twelve thousand dol lars and pay my little debts, he can have wnat little property I have. I am sorry tbat you compel me to write to you any explanation about my all'alrs. I regret that you fall in with men who have axes to grind, In abasing me so cruelly. Very truly yours. A. W.

As will be seen by our special telegram fromv Washlngton, General Rousseau la dead. The personal history of Major-Oeneral ltousseau, of Kentuoky, Is familiar to almost every American, the prominent part played by him, , In tbe war having made his name familiar throughout tbe country. He was born In Lin coin county, Ky., in 1818, of poor parents, and, being forced to depend on his own exer tions, not only for food, bnt for eduoatlon also, may be said to be entirely a self-made man. His youth was spent In supporting tbe younger members of his father's family, lefo orphans by the early death of his parents, by bard labor In the narrow fields left him by his father and the broader ones of bis rich neigh bors, and la studying for the bar. Ills labors and, stadles were prosecnted under grave disadvan tages, and in early manhood adverse clrcam. stances forced him to sell the family farm and' emigrate to ludlana. He settled In Greene county, and having obtained a license to prac tise low, entered the legal lists aud also the political arena. He waa taken up by the WhtuH of Ureene county, at that lime a. mall minority of the voters, as a leader,. ai.d ty his personal popularity with the people succeeded In defeating the regular lieniocrntie nominee for the Htate Legisla ture. He made himself by hfs talents and popularity the leader of this party, whioh had never attained success before his advent, and never won It after bis retirement. He re turiitd to Kentucky In 184!), before the conclu sion of a session ol the ludiana legislature, of which lie was a member, and he used fre quently to be cslled the "member from Ken tucky." Tbe Democrats in tbe Legislature at one time, after his removal to Kentucky, In sisted on his resignation but he threatened, If they took any action in tbe matter of requiring his resignation, to return toUreene county and run for tbe Legislature on every occasion. He was showed to hold his seat until the end of the tension. While still In Indiana he enlisted for the mi nt, and served through the war as captain. Mexican war in t lie 2d lunlnnaf Joe Lane's) itegl Tbls was the regltueut which Jeff Davis de clared ran at tbe bat tle of Buena Vista. Itous seau has long since proved he was not of ther running kind. lu Ihi'J Rousseau was an emancipationist of tbe Clay pattern, but had no party to baok hlmr and coiiHiqueutly took no active part In poll tics. His praotlce at the bar kept blm con stantly occupied, and gained for hlmasplen did reputation as a criminal lawyer. la 185(1 he was a strong opponent of the then powerful' "Know-Nothing" party, and on one oocaslon was attacked by a number of "Know- Nothings" aud shot tbrougii the abdomen. Tue wound, nearly proved mortal, and he was several mouths In recovering; but when be did get about sgalu, be found tbe Know-Nothing party ws no longer In exlsienne. In lfetil his bold opposition to Kentneky neu trality brought Koutseau promtneat.lv before the country. His speech lu the Kentucky Benate denouncing neutrality as a mask of the Rebels sod an unworlby subterfugeof the Union, men was received at the time as one of tho most hopeful signs of those uncertain times. Heearly began the enlistment of troops, and long befoie the other Unionists thought It poll tlo to bave United States troops quartered In Kentucky Rondeau had raised two regiment of soldiers, With these he eventually went to the rescue of Louisville when Buokoer ad vanced upon It, end thusbeitanln (September the military oaretr In which he has won so much honor. Toat career Is doubtless familiar to all. He was engaged lu the campaign and battle of Hbilob; was commandant, of tbe Dislrlot of Nor thern Alabama, suooeedlog General Ormsby O llltcbel in command of tbe Third division of Bueli's army, and pursued Bragg through Ken turay and fought blm single-handed at Perry vllle. He was engaged In Stone river and In tbe campaign of Tuliaboma, Chlokamauga and Chattanooga. IiutlnglStJl be oommanded the) District of Tennessee; made his famous raid Into Alabama, destroying the Montgomery and AJi,.a,1JJ1?, .of rUrotttl. nd In December. 1S61, held the Important position of Fortresst Hoseoians against the siege ot Brace. In politics he agreed with l'resldent Johnson ' and was one of tbe most ardent supporters of his reconstruction policy. He bad all alone favored the adoptlou of the constitutional amendment abolish inir slavery, and headed tho only party In Kentucky which Is avowedly aboiitfon. As a criminal lawyer be had no rival In bis 8tate since 185. He was naturally a leader, and in every aspect of bis career, and under all clrcumstauoes, civil and military ha always led his people and soldiers. The statement of bis recent removal to th) command of the Fifth Military Distrlot with his headquarters at New Orleans, and bla operations while In that command, needs no repetition here, being familiar to all readers.
