OVA BOROUGH.—IMPROVBUBNTB* Since the disastrous fire whioh occurred in this borough early in AJaroh last, and which destroyed so many private residences, quite a* large number of handsome and substantial new buildings (mostly of brick,) h&vo been erected, and others much improved and beautified, la the “Burnt District, 1 * especially, some very fine and costly brick edifices have already been built, and wo believe more ere under contract, to bo commenced early in the spring. Upon the sites recently occupied by those old and dingy buildings destroyed by fire, now, convenient and beautiful brick dwellings now rear tholr hoods. Among others, we will mention Moglaaghlln’s Hotel, on North Hanover street; Heiser*a Hotel, cor ner of East High.and Bedford streets, both substan tial and convenient brick edifices, .located in central and pleasant positions,arid admirably adapted to serve the porpoise for which they are designed.. The Luthr leran church,on Bedford street, now nearly completed, outside and in, is indeed a magnificent brick edifice, ’ and tho rapidity with which it has been pushed for ward, the architectural beauty of its proportions, and ! ita substantial workmanship,reflect much credit upon the trustees, the contractors, and all connected with its construction. It is a lempio worthy the largo and respectable Christian congregation who purpose to worship in it, and is a striking ornament to the borough. The largo two story double brick dwelling house erected and owned by Dr. John Zollinger, also on Bedford street, is an elegant private reaidence, and look* as though h might.withstand the effects of fire, wind or water. Two brick tenant houses on Louther street, the property of Mr. Ru fus Shapley, sr, are in a pleasant neighborhood, and very convenient as private residences. - Besides these, there were some smaller houses; and several very pretty brick and frame stables, &c, erected during the past summer and autumn. . r On West street, Messrs. Woodward Sc. Schmidt, Produce Dealers, have erected.a substantial and ox- tensive (wo story brick Warehouse, which it a great acquisition to that section oflhotown. On West Pomfrel street, our School Directors, much to their credit, have caused to he erected a handsome two story brick school house, designed to accommodate two of onr public schools. • Besides these improvements, the authorities of the boroogb have also performed (heir share in the way of beautifying the streets and adding to the conve* olehce of our citizens. Several sections of streets have been graded, and many unsightly and dangerous gullies filled op. The Council hat, by an ordinance,* compelled property'bolders to lay down good and sufficient side walks, and we are glad to perceive that many, of there have complied with the require* meats of this ordinance, and already quite a number of good brick pavements have been laid down. Next spring, we feel confident, (here will be many more side walks mode, and then, end not till then, will we get lid of (he stigma which strangers have so often and so truly east open os. We have frequently heard persona from a distance remark, that ** Carlisle, al* though a very pretty town, bad the meanest pave* ’ meats in the Slate I" We moat at once get rid of so injurious and mortifying a reproach. I It Is always a matter - of much gratification with ua to chronicle these evidences of improvement; and trust that ore another year rolls round, we may be called upon to notice al least double the number of building wo have now enumerated. Carlisle is far behind, in the way of Improvement and enterprise, many of the neighboring towns and villages which surround her, few of which have half (he nanoral advantages she has. Capital Is plenty In (be borough and vicinity; our water power is an* surpassed; our mechanics and workingmen are a* good aa any in (fae.SUte, and there are hundreds of desirable building tola vacant, whichcould be pur* centre of a rich, beautiful, healthy and productive valley, with a fertile toil and a good climate. We have alio two of the best markets in the Union, Phil. adelphta and Baltimore, to choose between. Why, then, should Carlisle not improve, end increase in wealth, industry and population 7 TUB 3ID COHOREIB. Tbe Ist session of the 32d Congress, will assemble | at Washington, on Monday next, Ist December, and ( that city is already filled with members, expectants, and fashionables, from every section of the Union. The session will, nodonbt,ba a long, Interesting and •xeiling one ; and politicians, of both parties, will be kept exceedingly bnsy. Tbe Presidency will be a froliful theme of disensslon, both in public and pri vate circle*; and the different aspirants will have hosts of friends upon the ground, zealously urging their claims and promoting their interests. The Speakership and Clerkship, too, aro engrossing sub jeels, and many candidates aro named In connection with both these stations. For the Speakership, the ■tar of Hon. Lviw Botd, of Kentncky, appears to be to the ascendant, and his friends entertain no doubt of bis success. He hta great legislative experience; is a man of superior education sod abilities, and would make a most excellent presiding officer. For tbe Clerkship, the names of several gentlemen have been mentioned} but we hope Col. John W. Foamen of this Stste, rosy be the successful candidate. No man has been more ardent, laborious and firmly de voted to the principles, usages end candidates of Domoortoy than Mr. Fortner, and if honest sml ef ficient labors deserve support and confidence, he cer tainly merits all that Congress can bestow on him. In our next number, we will doubtless be enabled to give tbe result of the election, and peibspe a brief synopsis of the President's Message. During the session of the coming Congress, we shall endeavor to.keep our readers well advised of the “Sayings and Doings" of the “congregated wisdom of the nation s" and will furnish them with copious exlraete from tho Beports of the different 1 Heeds of Departments, together with such other re* ' liable Information as may bo of an interesting nature.

THANKSGIVING DAY. Tills Da v,'having. boon sot apart by the Executive as a day of general Thanksgiving throughout the Slate, wo lt will bo observed In a becoming and appropriate manner by all our citizens. The ohurohea will b.o open for divine service; the stores, offices, shops, dec., will be closed, and all business of a see* ular nature generally suspended. Never before was there such unanimity in appointing a day ofThanks giving as the present year presents. twenty-seven States, and several cities, will observe this day for that purpose, thus giving it (he character of a Na tional, instead of merely a Stole Festival. , As a cotemporary truly observes, the spectacle of (be almost entire. Union, uniting, on.the same day, in Thanksgiving to Almighty God, will be a-noble ono. A late European writer hae said that the sue cess of this great republic has depended mbro 60 the religious sentiment of (he people, than on our written constitutions. If so, wo cannot labor too'hard to cx< tend and perpetuate these feelings. Nor can anything bo done, better calculated to infuse into the popular mind a regard for religion, than the stated observance of days of Thanksgiving. The spectacle of an entire people gratefully adoring that Creator, in whom they “ live, and move, sod have tbeir being, 1 * must react upon the people themselves, and create an abiding sense of an overruling Providence. And (ho country in which such a conviction tests, cannot but be or derly, moral and prosperous.' It is bat a few years since the observance of Thanksgiving day was extended-beyond the New England States. Wo can recollect the time when such a festival was of a rare occurrence, not only In this Stale, bat in moat of those West end South of it. Bat Thanksgiving has now become ft customary fes tival throughout the entire Union, la many Com. monweallha h was first tried as an experiment bat wherever Introduced it has made good its footing. A better testimony than this, to its healthful effect on the public mind, could not, perhaps, be had. For, in truth, it Is not on (he reverential sentiment alone that Thanksgiving day sets beneficially. Its influ. cnee on the social feelings Is great. Tbo re-uniun op families, around the hospitable board, which is one ■ of its moat distinguishing customs, is also one of its most useful. In this country, there is & growing ten* dcncy to forget the homo of youth. Thanksgiving dsy assists to counteract this, by bringing together on that annual festival the children of the family, whenever possible. -The.influence of the day is ben. efieiel also in another manner. Wo.have too few Hollidays in America. We work too bard as a peo. pie. Judicious relaxation is required to the proper cultivation ofthe moral and intellectual faculties, and this, as a nation, we deny ourselves. Fair be it from us to recommend-the adoption ofthe hundred yearly festivals of some European nations; yet, nevertheless. the addition of a few would do us no harm. ' Ten years ago, we had but two, the Fourth .of July and Christmas; to thcao we may now add Thanksgiving day. The Christiana Teul* commenced on Monday lest, In the United States District Court, Philadelphia. The Ledger says“ The proceedings will.be watch, ed with more than usual interest, for most important principles are involved in the issue. We learn from the Baltimore Sun , that Mr. Dront. in the present posture of affairs, will attend the trials as a repre. sentative ofthe Stale'of Maryland, bnt simply to report the proceedings io the Executive] authority.’* The Sun says it has'been from the commencement, the desire of bpth Gov. Low* and Mr. Brent that the control and management of these oases should go with'the responsibility, which they conceived'to be with the United States. Gov. Lowe was induced to act.in this matter at the instance of public appeals, originating at meetings of the citizens, called to con* sidpr the **iara of the event. Mr. Brent was afccor by Hai_»fot-pep nusskra (o participate In (fie prosecution oi cans, as a privilege (o be conceded by (he officers of the United States, that tho Stale of Maryland might bo legally represented there, and all cause of provb* cation and estrangement between the people ofthe States bo entirely allayed, and a faithful report fur* oished of the judicial transactions, by a competent hand. It was not doubted but there would be a harmony of views between them and the officers of the general government, about a common object of so much importance, end that no discord could pos. aibly arise In relalion to such an affair. Indeed, we hope,that any differences which have transpired have ■risen rather from a misapprehension of purpose than a want of courtesy-on either side. When hat Kossuth be Expected ? — Ths N. York i?oenin£ Post has received a letter, dated Soulbamp ton, November 7th, in “ which it said thait Kossuth may not leave England in the Washington, bat that if he does not, he will come over in the Humboldt. Rumors of Austrian spies and hired assassins taking passage in the Washington, have reached Southanip ton, and have occasioned so much concern that many of his friends (here think it would be exposing both himself and the steamer to too great a risk if they allowed him to take pasaago in her.** The Post doubts the truth of these rumors, as the assassins could effect their purpose while Kossuth is in Cog land, with more certainly of escape than on board a steamer. The Washington, the Post says, may now be daily expected at New York, with Kdsiuth on board, provided 100 much reliance has not been placed in theso rumors at Southampton.

This game may bo carried too far—for, although our Govern ment will not deny to Austria the right to establish its own internal po'lico, it will no doubt object to having American citizens singled out as objects, of suspicion and punishment. It was once Considered a Sufficient claim to protection for a man to bo a Roman citizen; and It should now be sufficient to secure just treatment every.-where, to be an. American citizen* An oggression upon, an individual American, is an pffenco against his Government, and should demand attention.; It is probable, that .Austria, incensed against our Government for sending a private agent to observe events in Hungary, seeks to give vent to her anger by barcsssing individual Americans, who, in (heir toprs ofEurope,ooier.her despotic dominiohs. If so, our Government should interfere with a per emptory demand (bat: the practice shall bo discon tinued. Several cases are slated to have recently occurred, where Americans Have been detained 'and (heir papers seized upon most frivolous pretexts. Now, however tbatGovernment may tyrsnlze oyer Us own subjects, it should be compelled to set justly towards American citizens, or lake tho consequences. Kos suth has shown (hat lie had (bo house of .Hapsburg in his power, and a war. between Austria and Ihe .U.

Graves, M. D., has communicated to the. Edin burgh Philosophical Journal, a very interesting article on the causes why the waters of (he. Dead Sea are destitute of fish and other marine ani mals. The Dead Sea contains no living thing within its fatal , boundaries, yet this salt sea, so famous in story, is supplied with water from fresh water rivers which abound in fish and vegetables. The surface of tho.. Dead Sea Is 1,300 feet below tho level of the Mediterranean, is 1,000 feet deep, 60 milealong and 9 broad. It receives all the wa ters of (he Sea of Galilee., A correct chart of this old lake was never given to the world until the expedition under Lieut. Lynch surveyed it.. The fullcreditof this important fact is given, to our country by Mr. Graves.. It had been stated'by Dr. Robinson and. Mr. Warbuton, that the shores of the Dead Sea were non-volcanic, but live expe dition brought home specimens of lava and scoria, thus refuting former accounts. There is anothef sea' io the .world just like the Dead Sea of Sodom, this is the great Salt Lake of the. Mormon country, discovered and explored by Lieut. Fremont. This.lake contains no living thing within Us bosom, and it also receives the fresh waters of Lake Utah. The waters of (he Dead Sea of Jordan contain 34 per cent, of saline matter, consisting of chlo rides of potassium, sodium, caicluin, magnesium, lron,maganese, with bromide of magnesium. This saline impregnation acodVhts for the absence of all Vegetable and animal life. The waters of the Great American Salt Lake, are nearly of (he'eame composition, and present similar phenomena to that of tho Sea of Sodom. A Just Sentence.—A person named Brook, has been convicted of murder in the second degree, before the Court of Cuyahoga county, CnWfui .placing an obstruction on the track of. the Vpno flnu riifim>iu R»VWtmUr~W wgiua Van Engineer lost his life. The evidence against purely circumstantial, wascbnclueivei and left no reasonable doubt of his guilt, ylle if as sentenced to the penitentiary for.life. This case is a peculiar one, and illustrates the fiendish dis position which sometimes actuates Individuals,— A contractor on (he road owed Brooks two or three dollars, which hq could not obtain. On the occasion of opening the road, when .some two or three hundred persons, from all parts of the count ry, had assembled to*celebrate the event,' this wretch placed obstructlons upon the’road, which, but for a timely discovery, would have killed a number of persona who never did him an injury in the world, and against whom , he could possibly have no grudge. Subsequently he placed other obstructions upon the road, by which ohe person was killed. It was for this he was convicted, and very properly sentenced to imprisonment for life, a sentence which should be rigidly enforceda against such a diabolical villain.

Tho defence urged was that, the 1 defendant was no longer in existence, having made j sundry assignments, and being actually engaged In | winding up Its affairs.

Whatever my anticipations may have been as to the resources of your great Slate, and its population, truth obliges mo to say that they have been mure than realized.

It was in this that he took pride; and as an in stance lie pointed with heartfelt satisfaction to that treaty to which he bad (ho honor of affixing his name, which guaranteed on the faith of the two nations the neutrality of the proposed com munication from the Atlantic to the Pacific for the advantage of the whole world, and which he re garded as the foundation of a solemn and equitable alliance, not such as those formed.of old for the purpose of wronging and spoiling, but for conver sing and extending the Interests of mankind.
