ROROUQD IMPROVEMENTS. Wo published, a few weeks since, the Ordinance of the Town Council on the subject pavements The Ordinance is plain and positive in its provi sions, and requires no'explanalion by us. As yet wo have not noticed ai single bad pavement taken up to be relaid with gkod brick, as Ihe Ordinance demands. Why is this 1 Is this Ordinance, like many before it, to be disregarded and put at defi ance? We hope not. Too long have Dorough Ordinances been unheeded. It is time our rough officers should exercise their authority, and enforce tho law a imsaod by Council. •• It is a part of the duly, as it is a part of the oath, of tho Chief Burgess, to see that all Ordi nances of Council are faithfully complied with.— It is his sworn business, therefore, to see that the Ordinance lately published on (lie subject of pave ments, is compiled with In its every provision.— Should he fall to perform this duty, he not only violates his oath, but he subjects himself to a prosecution; and, ho may rest assured, he shall not escape the penalty if ho invokes it in this in stance. To use the language of one of our very best citizens and a heavy lax-payer, with whom we conversed a day or two since, “If the Ordinance on pavements is not enforced the gentlemen com posing the Council deserve the execrations of our citizens, and the Chief Burgess prosecuted and punished.” It is indeed a mere mockery to have Borough officers, if Ordinances are not to be ob served. Now, Messrs. Councilman, Burgessmen, and other Borough authorities, we desire to see you perform your duties, and If yon fall to do this, Vhere hib iUusb vrlio qio ready io See \f there be no law to compel you to do so. We are tired, and so are all our good citizens, of pleading and talk ing on this subject. Under tho new Borough charter there is a way to punish delinquent Do rough officers, and, to use-a favorite expression of a lypoofour Borough, “by the holy virgin Mary,” the law shall be observed. Posltlou of Bnrope There is something anomalous in the present as pect of Europe, says tho Baltimore Argus, something to nrrost Iho attention of tho thoughtless, and to ex cite the speculations of (ho politician.

LETTING np MAIL CONTRACTS. The Washington Union congratulates Postmaster General Cahoeu. upon the satisfactory and fUccc*s ful termination of llio laborious dtflica of life first letting of mail contracts, and says llio General Post | Office Doparlmonl on Tuesday presented a sdcnc of unusual interest, quite refreshing at (his dußponml of the year. It being understood that the decisions of the Postmaster Genera! on the great mail jading* ' would bo publicly declared, a large number of con | tractors who had remained in that city, as well us the representatives of those who had loft, assembled for the purpose of ascertaining the result bf his dc liberations. The regular lettings of the -present spring embraced all the mail service of Now England and York ; in addilion to this, a largo number of routes in other Stales, established by Congress in August last, were necessarily included, altogether covering nn area in extent far greater than nffy pre vious letting since the organization of our govern incut. On the fourth instant, I fie mass of (ho pro tiosuls received m the Contract Office weVo formally opened. According iu pi », u uw, oach bid, with every paper attached thereto, is mark cd with the initials of the principal officers of the de partment ; they are then passed to the clerks, by whom their contents are examined, endorsed, re ox smined, recorded, Hied and registered. The books thus prepared, are submitted to the chief of the Con tract Office, who bestows upon them a careful mid thorough supervision, after which they ore laid before the Postmaster General fur his decision. Thus, it will bo perceived that In about eighteen working days, in addition lo the current business of his office, the head of the Post Office Department can boost of (ho performance of an amount of labor never before equalled bore. As nearly ns the Union could judge, the announce mcnl of Tuesday referred to upwards of one thousand routes. The Postmaster General expressed his entire readiness to listen to any appeals; and in a few eases, when his views in regard to certain grades of service, wore requested, the explanations ho sochcer concurred In T>y Iho cfomurring parries.

In (be Immense,list pf acts passed at the late ses sion oftbe Slato Legislature, wo find the lilies of no less than tliitly one newly incorporated Railroad Companies, of which the following is a catalogue : Charliors Valley Railroad Company** North Western Railroad Company. Cleveland and Mahoning Railroad Company. Lock Haven and Tyrone Railroad Company. Delaware, Lehigh & Wyoming Valley R. R. Co. Philadelphia and Baltimore Contra! R. R. Co. Tuhhanhoek Railroad Company.

Bradford and McKean Railroad Co. We have no moans, (says the Bulletin) of ascer taining the lengths of alt these projected railroads, but it would not be far out of (ho way to say that llify average forty miles apiece. This makes 1340 miles of railroad, and estimating Iho costs at say $25,000 a mile, wo have Iho moderate sum of $31,- 900,000 to bo expended on entirely now works.— Then there are some hundreds of miles now in pro gress, wliTch will consume many additional mil lions. Besides all these, the list of Legislative adts embraces a groat many supplements to former char ters, authorizing extensions and branches of some railroads, extending the lime for completing others, authorizing corporations to subscribe to slock of others, and explaining the details of others. All those, with the railroads now in process of construc tion, will call fur an outloy of some twenty millions of dollars ; so that wo speak moderately when wo estimate the amount the people of Pennsylvania arc called upon to expend on railroads, wiliiin a few years, at about fifty millions of dollars. It cun scarcely bo less than this, and may be far more, but this will do for Iho present. In the meantime wo may ask, where is the money to come from 7 Trim, eor Seduction. —ln tho Superior Court of New York city, on Tuesday and Wednesday, a case oi'scdaclioq was tried, (he damigcsof winch were laid at $lO,OOO- The parties ore Pennsylvanians, and both residents of Pultsvillo, where they are said * • V-* cafpll Irnnnn. | The young lady, Miss Caroline Thomas, who sued through her uncle, Mr. Ephraim Thomas, a resident | of Now York, staled that she was seduced, under o promise of marriage by the defendant, a voting man j named Joseph P.

In defence of this move, they say that beef, mutton, turnips and potatoes have gone up, and prayers mid sermons 1 must go up 100, or else congregations must must go down. According to the Now Haven Palla dium, one of the prime movers In this theological strike is the Rev. Mr. Gulliycr !

'.After striking, tho Independence backed off, but finding 8 feet water in tho bold, Captain damson ordered the Pilot to run hor on tho beach, 300 yards from tho main land. Tboro tho ship took tiro from the intense boat of the furnace,and tho flames spread ing rapidly, created tho most frightful consternation amorg the passengers. A heavy sea was running at tho time, and all the boats weroswampod in try ing to got ashore. To add to tho horrors of the scone, tho fire reached tho powder magazine, which exploded with terrific fora’o, shattering tho stern of tho steamer into fragments, and blowing many passengers Into the air ; others Jumped into the sea and were carried off by tho strong current sweeping from, the shore. who had previously reached (ho shore wero unablb to render tho sufferers any assistance, and wore [obliged to remain passive spectators, while hundreds of men, women and children wore perish ing by tho fire and soa. Tho ship finally swung around, with her broadside to the shore, whore her coal took fire, and sho was entirely destroyed.. Tho passengers saved found themselves on a barren and uninhabited island, without food or walor, where they remained 5G hours, in a slate of intense suffer iug. Finally, by firing a cannon, they wero able to attract tho attention of whaling vessels lying in Mngduleno Boy, a few miles off, which came to their assistance with provisions, and in the and look thorn off.
