Ftve Dwelling Houses, a large Livery Stable, Blacksmith shop, lfc. t burned to the ground / On Tuesday night last, the 28th instant, our town was again visited by a most destructive fire, which has totally destroyed no less than five Dwelling Houses, one large Livery Stable, n Blacksmith Shop, Stable, a number of Sleighs, and a large amount of other valuable property. The fire was discovered at about half past II o’clock of that night, in a small stable, in the rear of the extensive Livery Establishment of Mr. George Hekdel, on South Pitt street, and so high was the wind, and so rapid the progress of the flames, that before effectual assistance could be rendered, all the buildings wo have enumerated were reduced to ashes. The roofs bf some of the surrounding buildings were seve ral times on fire, but through the active and un tiring exertions, of our firemen, to whom too much praise cannot bo awarded, they were pro- Served. Of the buildings destroyed, two dwel ling houses on South Pitt street, belonged to Dr. t: C. LttoUis, who was insured; the dwelling house belonging to Mrs. Phillips, on South Pitt street, was/also insured. The principal sufferer, however, is Mr. George llbndbl, upon whose premises the lire originated. His large livery establishment, blacksmith shop, &c., on South Pitt street, together with his dwelling and tenant houses on West Porafret street, besides much other valuable propery, have been entirely consumed, and upon which there was but a very small, if indeed any, insurance. Wc deeply Sympathize with Mr. Ilendel. who is now ab sent at Lancaster, and shall bo happy if his loss turns out not to be so heavy as is now generally supposed. The fire is believed by many to have been the work of an incendiary. If so, wc hope tho ma lignant perpetrator of so foul a crime may be for feited,out and brought to condign punishment. German Lutheran Congregation. We understand that a number of European Germans, and others, citizens of this borough and its vicinity, heretofore connected with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Carlisle, have withdrawn from that congregation, with the in tention of erecting for themselves an edifice, in which they may worship the God of their fath ers in the German language. They allege that in the Lutheran church of Carlisle, tho services are conducted exclusively in English, a language which many of them but very imperfectly un derstand : and as their numbers here are quite large and yearly increasing, they dtem it right and proper, under the circumstances, to have a building of their own. It is their intention to purchase a lot in some central part of the bo rough, upon which to erect a plain but commo dious church edifice, and in order to accomplish this, they solicit of the liberal minded of our people a helping hand. A committee will wait upon the citizens, and wc are informed that the smallest contributions will he thankfully receiv ed and duly reciprocated. We hope they may be successful in their efforts, and that ere long they may have a convenient church of their own, in which tho Gospel shall be regularly preached to them in the language of their ‘‘Faderhmd.” Cumberland County Agricultural Soricty. Wc arc glad to learn that an effort is about l>eing made by several practical farmers, and others, in this neighborhood, to establish in our county an Agricultural Society. We hope the effort may be crowned with oomplete success, as Cumberland county, in this respect, is far behind a majority of her sister counties. In almost all Of the neighboring counties. Agricul tural Societies have been formed, which arc m a nourishing condition, and have been a source of incalculable benefit to the husbandmen of those counties. Wc think that for a county, with a population as large os ours, and with Interests so great and diversified, to be without a Society, is a fact not very creditable to our fanners, and speaks but poorly for their energy and enterprise. The gentlemen, however, who arc foremost in the present laudable movement, are known to ua as energetic, public spirited, and intelligent men : and in their hands, we feel assured, the project will not be permitted to fall through, but "ill be prosecuted with a perseverance which must command success. It will be the object of these gentlemen, after founding the Society upon a liberal and permanent basis, to collect a fund for the purchase of a lot of 8 or 10 acres of ground, convenient to the borough, which will be enclosed. Upon this lot will be erected suitable buildings, stalls, shedding, 4c., f or the accommodation of horses and neat cattle, and other buildings for the exhibition of poultry, together with an office building, leaving ample room for ploughing matches, and depots lor storing all kinds of machinery. It is intended that the annual meeting of the Society shall be held early in the fall of each year, at which time will take place an exhibition of the various pro ducts of the county, slock of every description, poultry, agricultural implements, &c. This is an excellent way to gather the men of the county into one fraternal meeting each year, and which in the end must bo productive of much good. Again we say, wo wish the pro ject may bo crowncfl with success, and wo take this opportunity of saying, that our columns shall be open to the ofllccra of "the Society and its friends, to urge upon the agricultural portion of the community the importance of sustaining so noble and useful an institution as a County Agricultural Society. k-' r % reference to our advertising columns it will bo seen that Mr. Millar, intends open* ing q writing school, in Mr. Trout’s new build mg- Wo have examined a number of his spe cimens, and have no hesitation in saying that ho is one of the finest pensmen wo have ever Been. lie has numerous testimonials from gen tlemen of respectability, and a number of com mendatory notices from the press.

In Senate, March 23, the Prohibitory Liquor bills were referred to Committee on Vice and Immorality, for the purpose of arranging the amendments. lov. Riglrr and the Franklin Canal Company, When the Erie difficulties wercat theirheight, md the charter of the Franklin Canal Company was repealed, the people of Meadvillc and vici nity complained bitterly of the repeal, and were disposed to censure the Governor for the part he took in the matter. That disposition has bem removed by subsequent reflection and examina tion of the facta. The Crawford Democrat says; Upon reviewing all the facts connected with it, wo do not see how he could well have pursued any other course than the one he did. Wo can not shut our eyes to tho fact, that the great mu- jority ol tho people of the Stale were hostile to the course pursued by the Company—that the Supreme Court had virtually decided that It had acted in violation ol its legitimate powers—that the Legislature, with singular unanimity, with out regard to party, raised Its voice for a repeal, aud we think Gov. Bigler, therefore, has but carried out their expressed wishes In all that ho bos done. He was acting for tho whole State —not for one, or half a dozen of counties—and any faltering on his part might have boon pro ductive of serious consequences to tho character -of our Commonwealth. His course on thisques- when properly understood, cannot fail to meet the approval of the people. The Governor seems to have acted with grout energy and decision in taking charge of the rail road, and at the same time exercised u commen dable courtesy towards its oflicers. Tho ar rangements made for Us care until finally disposed of. are no doubt, the best that could have been, adopted under the peculiar circumstances of the case. The Biutish Fleets.— The war preparations in Great Britain arc on the most extensive scale. On the 4lh of March there were anchored at Portsmouth, fifteen ships carrying 800 guns, and more were collecting. Thirteen ships were also expected to rendezvous immediately at Spit head. All have their full complement of men, and at the last dates were busily engaged in artillery practice. The “Dukeof Wellington,” a three-decker of 130 guns, is to be Admiral Napier’s flag-ship. The victualling of the fleet was going on rapidly, and all leaves of absence had been prohibited. The letter-writers speak in wann terms of the gunnery. In one case, that of the Dragon, they hit the bull's eye twice with the 84 pounder, and struck the target sev eral times, and finally shot it away at a dis tance of 800 yards. The reader may infer from all this, what may be expected in the event of a conflict. The Albany Transcript says that Santa Anna’s wife was born in Waterloo, 'Albany county, N. Y., where she lived after she had attained her majority, when she took to the stage. Her maiden name was Laupaugh, but she assumed another when she commenced a professional life. Miss L. appeared at many of the principal theatres in this country but finally went to Ha vana, where she was seen by Santa Anna, who became desperately enamored with her, and finally wooed and won her heart and hand. Wc arc not certain whether the matrimonial rites wore performed at Havana or Vera Cruz, but certain wo arc that Miss L. is now the wife of Ilia Illustrious and Serene Highness Santa Anna, of Mexico. Indian Treaty —A treaty has been conclud ed with the Nebraska Indian delegation now at Washington, and sent to the Senate for confir mation. It is understood that in this treaty the Indians have stipulated that should any one of their number be guilty of using intoxicating liquors to excess, his annuity should bo with held from him until he hod reformed. If this provision could be carried out, it will have a decided tendency to prevent druukennesj- among them. The Indians have becomo‘tired of Wash ington and arc preparing to return home. Indian Ruuoer Teeth—One of the latest achievements in manufacturers from India rub ber, is that of a Boston dentist, Dr. J. A Cum- mings, who.professes to have succeeded in pro ducing entire sets of teeth, plates and dentals, vulcanized to tho hardness of ivory, and retain ing tho .czaotost possible adaptation to tho mouth. Tub Greek Ikburreotion.— Albania, where tho rebellion against tho Turkish government haa boon raging, is a province of Turkey in Eu rope, bordering on tho kingdom of Groooo. Tho great bulk of Its population consists of Greek Christians, who very naturally have but little sympathy with tho. their government or religion- ‘ * TOE fflßlM IN INDIA; • Tho fact* that thA English wish to keep Nicho lasbut of Constantinople, not merely from mo tives of sympathy for tho Sultan, but to protect their Indian possessions, suggests to thinking men to Inquire how they obtained, and by. what tenure they hold those magnificent regions. We ahull endoavoh tb fiirnish, in as-few words &a possible, the information desired. . The whole of the extensive empire, now hold in India by thoEnglish,' originated from the trad ing posts of a mercantile company. For more than a hundred years tho English held no terri tories ip India. But, abqUt a century ago, they began to take advantage of tho weakness of the native rulers, and by interfering between rival Princes, to obtain excuses for waging wars, de manding indemnities, and confiscating provinces. Two abio, ambitious, daring, and unprincipled men, Lord Clive and Warren Hastings, acquired, in this way, and in less than a single generation, upwards of two hundred thousand square miles of territory. Tho example, thus set, has been assldiously imitated since ; pleas in favor of an nexation have been brought forward wherever a temptingbaitappeared; and, at the present time, tho English authority, according to official ac counts, extends over six hundred thousandsquare miles, and embrace a population of one hundred and seventy millions. If tho government by which this vast empire is ruled, was one of equal rights, or even a ben eficent one, there would bo some palliation for this conquest. Bui it is confessedly a govern ment of the sword. Withdraw the Britishtroops, or even destroy the terror of the English mime, and not a solitary province would be found, in one year, to acknowledge the authority of Vic toria ! This is confessed by every General who has served in India—by every Statesman, and by every writer of nolo. Nor is the cause of this bitter hostility a Intent one. It is in the nature of every people to hate and execrate in vaders, but especially successful invaders, and most of all haughty and insolent. All these the English are to the natives of India. Former conquerors of that magnificent realm admitted the upperclasscs to some share in the administra tion of affairs; trusted them; bestowed honors on them ; endeavored to enlist them in the cause of the now dynasty. The humblest citizen, un der the old order of affairs, might rise to be a vizier, a nabob, ora rajah. The first Prince of Oudc was originally a petty merchant. The an cestor of Sclndiah was a slave. Even to this day, in the few independent Suites that are left, a poor soldier often rises to he the virtual sovc rign of his country. Thus, under the forms ol a monarchy, the spirit of democracy is partially kept alive. But. in the territories which have been annex ed to England, the natives are excluded from all share In the government, and oven shut out from the enjoyment of the most ordinary honors They can hold no high rank in the army. They arc not trusted with any civil employment i f importance. They are allowed, indeed, to ac quire fortunes by trade, and native millionaires have been even knighted, occasionally; but the field of political ambition is closed hopelessly aginst them, and the prizes of military prowess placed above their reach. What the Norman was to the Saxon, for the first century alter the conquest, that the English are now to tho people of India. S.ven thousand Englishmen, and in this number we embrace the army officers, ac tually comprise the whole average male popula tion of the invaders. Did over before so small a muster caste lord it over so large a subject pop ulation 7 Moreover, while former conquerors did much to develop the resources of the coun try, tho English have attempted little and atf.-ct ed less. The aqueducts, the public buildings, the tanks for irrigating the soil, were all the work ol Moslem, or Hindoo Princes. If the English, after a century of rule, were to be driven out to-morrow, they would leave behind them no record of their presence, except a single military road, and the impoverished fields ol Hie provm cos they had plundered. Tho victims of this haughty, remorseless, and grinding conquest, were not a barbarous people, to whom, in the emt ol modern fihbu.stermg, in vasion was “manifest destiny,” and subjugation “ tho law of progress.” They boast ol civiliza tion older than that of England, and, in many particulars, quite as noble. They had an organ ized social fabric, with laws duly enforced, and with municipal institutions that almost rival our own, before the Normans crossed the channel, before Ctcsar landed in Kent, before Alexander crossed the Oxus. Thoirsystem of village com munitioa Ja founded In the idea of local indepen dence, as contradistinguished from centraliza tion, an idea that lies at thu base of our own institutions, and is indeed the all permanent po litical corner-stone of liberty. These village communities akfjf have kept India from disso lution. Tho sworn, oven of British invasion, has found it impossible to extirpate them ; and it is their life which has maintained the hie of tho whole moss. Such an Empire cannot be expected always to endure. Fifty times, according to an eminent British authority, it lias been at the mercy of the natives, and would have fallen, it the people of India bad been united, and bud ventured to strike for independence. Its extension, for many years, bus been defended as necessary to self-preserva tion. But, like the Empire of Napoleon, like all Empires founded by the sword, it will perish eventually by its own overgrown weight.—Phila delphia Ledger. Execution o( David Jewell. Pittsbouq, March 21.—The execution of Da vid Jewell, took place in Ihu jail yard this utter noon at 2 o’clock. A large crowd thronged the streets in the vicinity ol (he jail, from a nearly hour in the morning, and at limes it was very difficult to suppress the disposiliuu to create a disturbance. About 400 persons were admitted into Uie jail yard. During last night and this morning, the prisoner was visited bj the clergy, and joined with them in the religious exorcises. At 1 o’clock, the Shout)' inloriued the prisoner that the time had arrived fur the execution. The executioner, who was disguised, divested the prisoner of his irons, and having pinioned lus arms, the Sheriff escorted him to the place ol execution. On arriving at the gallows the prisoner stepped loiwurd, and thanking the Shentf tor his kind ness, bugged him not to be the executioner. Hu then read his dying declaration, reviewing the proceeding ol the court which convicted him, and deified having committed any premeditated mur der. He had never known his victim before he went with a friend to redress that friend’s griev ances. Heated witti drink, which had maddened him to insanity, ho hud no recollection of what trans pired until after the fatal act attributed to him. He concluded by addressing his young friends, praying them most earnestly to avoid the intox icating cup, and cordially forgave all, us ho hup. ed to bo forgiven, Aiding confident of the mercy of God. Tho clergymen then prayed, In which tho pri soner Joined audibly. Tbo executioner then adjusted tho rope, when the prisoner at this Juncture requested a prayer from tho Shorilf, which was made by him. Jewell then commenced a prayer, during .which the Sheriff gave tho sig nal, and tho oxucutlonur touching tho lever, tho unhappy man was in an Instant suspended. Ills neck was broken by tho fall. After hanging half an hour, his body was out down and placed in a coffin, to bo burled on Sunday by his friends. Jewell displayed tho utmost firmness and resig nation throughout. NAPOLEON AND THE EMPRESS, EUGENIE, A letter from Paris to tho Philadelphia Doily News, dated March 2, contains this item of scandal: Tho Empress begins to fonn tho subject of new scandal. It was reported on tho Boule vards on Tuesday last, that Louis Napoleon had caned a cousin of her M.ijesty s, and had warn ed her- To day there is tho contrary rumor a. (lout. It Is pretended that tho Empress is terri bly jealous with the Emperor, on account of a very beautiful English lady—uMissTighe—who has been invited to some recent balls, but who, if Madame Rumor is to bo believed, can never enter tbo Tullurles again, as long as Eugenio is there. Tho probability seems to be thutneitbor story Is true i or at least, that if there was any foundation for either, it has been grossly exag gerated. It is no less certain, however, that Louis Napoleon begins to treat his wife with marked coldness. But this is not occasioned by any levity on her pari. Hof supposed bar renness is tho real cause.

But so ma ny apparently respectable females as have testi fied to the facts could scarcely have been guilty of a conspiracy to commit perjury, and that too, against a woman who had never done either of them any injury. Their statements agree and prove your conduct as a mother to be incompre hensible. With what knowledge I have of hu man nature, I cannot account lor it. Yesterday, the facta were attempted to be denied. Now you say the bum on the hip was an accident. 1 believe the hot iron was applied to five parts of the child’s body spoken of by witnesses. The mark on the hip is too eloquent and truthful a witness to bo discredited. It could not have gotten there accidentally, thong' i the burns on the hands and face might have been ho inflicted. No—the truth is, that you took down the child’s clothing, and held the hot iron to his naked flesh, until the skin was burned off, and applied lln iron to both face and hands afterwards, first rub. bing it up and down bis legs, to “iron him out,” as you said, Your case glvey’moro uneasiness than much graver cases, for really I don’t know what to do with you.

Still my sentenci must bo such as to Show parents who arc dis posed to bo cruel, that the laws of Pennsylvania will not permit such acts ol barbarity to be per petrated on helpless children. My sentence, therefore, is, that you pay a flne of one cent and costs, and undergo an imprisonment in the Coun ty Prison for tho period of six months. At tho announcement of the sentence, Mrs. Hammer swooned,-and Mr. Hammer laboring under great feeling, while the tears ran rapidly down his chooka, asked permission to say a lew words, which was granted. Mr. H. —Your Honor, my wife’s mind lias been very much disordered since this transaction, and 1 greatly four that her reason w ill he entirely overthrown, or her life sacrificed, if she he sent to prison.

Mr. //.—Will you remand the child to me, sir? Judge Kelly —No. Had your own admissions upon the former hearing, that you took the child out of bed while asleep, and whipped him with a shoo, been given in Evidence the jury would have convicted you also. In that event, I would have sent you to the same prison for the same length of time, but not to the same cel). The jury hud no sympathy foryoo. os may bo seen by their or dering you to pay tho costs, when there was no legal evidence before, them of your guilt. As the costs in your own case cannot be collected from you, (tho costa-following the verdict,) you are free from their payment, but I will never give you tho child.
