Jacob F. Bentz, a young and meritorious self taught artist or Wrightsville, who has re painted it beautifully, rendering it one of the handsomest machines out of the cities. The Company, with their Engine, will be escorted to the east end of the bridge by the Susquehanna Brass Band of 'Wrightsville, where they will be met 14 the Susquehanna and Columbia Companies and escorted through the streets of the borough. We have heard of nu other specie.' intention of celebrating the day in Columbia, but sup pose that th' timed amount of Patriotic ju bilation will not be omitted this year, more particularly as a day of rest Acceeds, offer ing every inducement for a comfortable "taper." We trubt for the honor of our borough, that Patriotism will not necessarily include rowdyism and disorder. TIIE CULCII DIA FIRE COMPANY.—This company intend practising with their appa ratus every Wednesday evening, during this summer, to the end of perfecting themselves in a drill which will add materially to their efficiency in case of fire, and prevent the confusion arising from action without rule or concert tit times of danger anti excite mont. We think this morement a good one, pro vided the members of the company only par ticipate, and the thousand blackguard boys who congregate on similar occasions are kept in due subjection, and not allowed& asume the management of the "masheon." The want of thorough organization is a ma terial drawback to the usefulness of fire companies that are, fortunately, so little called upon as our own. While our "boys" are behind none in their capacity and wil lingness for up-and-down hard work, a through training in bringing their appara tus into speedy service, and obedience to official direction will doubttets add to their good tram as thorough firemen. We hope that these practisings will end in work and not play. BLACKWOOD roe Jcxs.—This number of the old standard Magazine opens with the commencement of a new serial novel., "What will he do with it?" by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, *Molt promises to be in every way worthy of its fictitious author "Pisistratus Coxton." BulWer's later novels have come to the public through the medium of Black wood, and they are by far the most finished works from Ms pen. We anticipate a re newal of' the pleasure with which we read "My Novel" and the "Cantons." The other contents are, New Sea-side Studies—No. 1.; Mr. Gilfil's Love Story—Part IV.; Ameri can Explorations; China and Japan; The Athelings, or The Three Gifts.—Part the Last; Sir Francis Pa!grave and his Books; Stewart's Practical Angler; Manchester Ex hibition of Art-Treasures; Ivlagn's Birth-day. KNICKERBOCKER roe Juiy.—This month ly comes, as usual, filled with finished prose and verse. It gives us this month a fine portrait on Steel of Hy. J. Brent, the author of a story now being published in the maga zine, "The Hut." Old Knick seems mildly infected with the popular taste for illustra tion; for some months past it has trespassed on Harper's province, and furnished several very neat wood cuts; but in the present number annihilates the Scientific American utterly, with "Phomix's Feline Attach ment" to the Sewing Machine. Nothing has appeared since the "Patent Hen Per suader" that approaches it in ingenuity of conception, simplicity of principle (when once thought of), and general adaptability to the public wants. We anticipate a tre mendous sale of the article, and put in an early bid for the agency fur Columbia and vicinity. LONDON QUARITILLY REVIEW.—Wo have received the LONDON QUARTERLY fof April from the publishers, Leonard Scott, & Co., N. Y. It contains the usual amount of first class literature provided for the readers of the Reviews. The table of contents is, Pedestrianism in Switzerland; Dred—American Slavery; Lunatic Asylums; English Bolitical Satires; Photography; Ro ving Life in England; Persia; The New Parliament and its Works. ME GUITA PEUCLIA On. PoLuns.--This is a new article for the preservation of leather, destined to supply a want felt by all who are compelled to , use the fifty compositions, concocted after a thousand infallible re ceipts, for greasing harness and other leath er work, and which almost inveriahly end in rotting the articles they are intended to preserve. This is a clean, oily polish, put up in bottles, and to be used in very small quantities. It is said to be, for the preser vation .43. f boots and shoes, the only first-rate article over offered to the public. We ad vise our friends to give it a trial. Fry & Hagman are the sole agents for Columbia. Tu F. Coa-r/NENlAt.s.—These favorite vocal ists gave one of their pleasing concerts in Columbia on Thursday evening last, which was, as is generally the case here when the dontinenfals visit us, well attended. Their singing girve the same satisfaction as of old; and the favorite songs. as well as their new selections. were cordially applauded. This c o m p an y is of a stamp that assures an au dience against Lumbu& or vulgarity in the character of the entertainment, and deserves thA support of the concert-going public. EZADINGI sup-Commun.' Ramtoen.—The interest of oaf . - people,* thy n important en terprise, does opfiag.; comutiAtees.ap pohited to visit ~tios neighboring xtigrna, for the purpose of kiying befoip their citizens the project now in agitatAit, akd salting their aid, reporied at meeting old in,the Town /lan, on Monday efgeiaing, that they had met: - isith •.enetisiiii r genieit e r ffeie; and had - good reisOn - for statingilub scriptions -uould--be- obtained .in ;York, Wrightsville . and Marietta, by calling pub lie meetings in those places, and making proper statements of the utility and pros pects of the proposed road. All these towns will be benefitted, 'with Columbia, by. the completion of this connection; and,altbou . gb our own Borough has so far been the chief mover in the matter, we think that the others cannot but lend their assistligice to make that completion a matter of certainty. It will put Wrightsville and York upon the great through route between the North and the South, and open for the former place and Marietta, the same extensive lum ber market that will be offered to oiirselvss. A meeting has been called or Tuesday evening next, at Wrightsville, and a coin mitteo . from Columbia will attend to ex plain the nature of the toute, atad lag be t.* rour neighbors what information we are possessed of in regard to the probability of its being succesfully carried through. We trust that a good delegation froth this place will manifest that wt Are in earnest in the matter. The meeting of Monday evening, called a Town meeting on Wednesday evening, at the Odd Fellows' Hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of a municipal subscription, on the part of the Borough to the stock of the road. Owing to the unfavorable weather, this meeting was adjourned to Wednesday evening next, when the citizens arc requested to avemble at the Town Hall, at 8 o'clock. Subscriptions of stock are still being ob tained; the aolount now taken foots up be tween twenty-five and thirty thousand dol. ars. By perseverance, such as has been shown by the leaders in this important un dertaking Columbia will soon she her pros pects brightened by another line of raiirond, bringing trade to her doors add money into the pockets of her people. Do not let. the spirit subside. TWENTY ODD DOLLARS WORTH OF FEN.- Two or the Columbia Rolling Mill Puddlers in search of happiness, on Monday evening last, sat down before, and laid siege to a house in Union street, fiercely assaulting it with paving -stones, to the serious detriment of the windows. The propirietor made com plaint, and the besieging forces were cap tured by Constable Hollingsworth, and pro vided with cellerage at the Town Hall for the night. Next morning they were pa raded, much to the entertainment of the juvenile community, before Justice Evans, who tariffed them five dollars apiece for their basement accommodations, boot-black ing, shaving-water, chamber-maid's fees, and those thousand delicate little hotel at tentions, usually classed under the head of "extras," but in this instance baptized with the persuasive title of costs. They were furthermore mulcted in an additional sum, as a pecuniary balm to the wounded feel ings of the party of the second part, and for wear and tear of window glass, sash, &c.— Their entire bill footed up twenty-five dol lars and fifty cents. They bled reluctantly; but fifteen days below was the only alter native, and as one of them very justly re marked the Fourth was entirely too near to think of commencing a collegiate course at Lancaster. Thoy thought the case a bard one, and were very clamorous against the exorbitant price of Summer Boarding in Columbia. They should take into con sideration the first class nature of the ac commodations, and the courteous bearing of the obliging attendants provided by the Borough. Itta..lt has become so frequent a thing on our river this season, for canal boats to be carried down the stream while attempting to cross at this place, that we ceased to chronicle these little locals. We happened to witness the rescue of a couple of mules, on Thursday morning last, which had been drawn from the tow-path of the bridge by the strength of the current. Fortunately the accident occurred very close to shore, and boats were soon on the river with as sistance. The animals had a hard swim of it, but were both finally landed at the foot of Walnut street. The boat was secured below. 11 second boat broke loose in the afternoon. The river is very much swollen by the continuous rain, and the current of unu sual strength. SUICIDE.—An Irish woman, Mrs. Done gan, residing in a court between Front and Commerce streets, committed suicide on Tuesday last by taking arsenic. ' ESCAPE or Poise:Yeas—Washington C. Hartman and John Hendrix made their es cape from the new County prison on Friday night last, by cutting through the floor of ono of the lower cells, where they were con fined, and then removing the brick, mortar and stones, until they came to the top of the arch of the basement, from which after a few bricks were removed it was easy to de scend to the floor of the lower room. We understand from thence they made their way to the room in which the keys of the prison are kept, thus making their escape. 'They have not yet been arrested. The Sheriff has offered a reward of $lOO for their apprehen sion. It will be remembered that HARTMAN was convicted at the April Sessions of Arson, and that several other indictments for the same crime were pending against him. MN DRI X was also under indictment for the same offence.—York Press, June 30. Bto SHIPS.—In the following, the dimen sions of the "Great Eastern" are compared with other large steamships: . Length.

Lord John Ressell and others defended the course taken by the government, and after some further conversation the subject was dropped. In the course of Mr. Roebuck's Speech in relation to the Elraytown affair, he said that the American government was dishonest, and if the offending power had been China instead of America, we would have heard of an insult to the British flag, and repara tion have been enforced.

TWO lIUNDRED LIVES LOST Quebec, June 27.—The Canadian steamer Montreal, was burnt yesterday when near here. Two hundred passengers wore either drowned or burnt to death. The victims' were mostly Scotch emigrants. Montreal, June 27.—the steamer Mon treal—the account of the loss of which has already been telegraphed from Quebec— contained. Five hundred passengers, and only one hundred and seventy-five are known to have been saved. , About two hundred passengers have been drowned.' It is believed, however, that many swam ashore and were saved in other ways. The accident happened near Cape Rouge, be tween Montreal and Quebec; Quebec, June 27.—The steamer Montreal took fire at 6 o'clock last evening. - The steamer Napoleon saved two hundred I of the passengers. The principal portion of the passengers in the ill-fated steamer have just landed here 1 on their way West. Tho captain and crew of the Montreal were among the number saved. Late advicos say that the number that perished will reach three hundred and fifty. Quebec, June 27, Evening.—The following further particulars, relative to the burning of the steamer Montreal, have been ob tained: The Montreal left here tt four o'clock yesterday afternoon, for Montreal, with four or five hundred passengers, mostly Scotch emigrants, recently arrived from Europe. . Nothing unusual occurred until the steam er reached Cape Rouge, twelve or fifteen miles above Quebec, , when the wood work near the furnaces was discovered to be on fire. Quickly after, the flames broke forth, causing the utmost consternation among the passengers. Every possible effort was made to subdue the , flames, but to no pur- Capt, Rudolph finding it impossible to save the steamer, ordered her, run towards the *bore. • The officers and crew of the Montreal ex erted themselves at the same time to get out the life boati. The flames spread with the most aston ishing rapidity, and 'the wildest confusion and .despair prevailed,throughout the ship. A -number of passengers threw them selves overboard and were downed, also for the steamer Napoleon,' also for Montreal, was but a few miles iu - ad vance of the burning boat, and put intelt, with all possible expedition to her assist ance. The Napoleon succeeded in rescuing from the burning wreak, a hundred and twenty seven passengers. Capt. Rudolph and the purser of the Montreal were amongst those who threw themselves into the river. Both being .ex cellent swimmers, they succeeded in reach ing the steamer Alliance, and were saved. It is quite possible thatsome of the others suceeeded in saving -themselves by swim ming, but as 'the steamer became unman ageable; when a considerable distance from land; no doubt the most of those who threw themselves flan the burning boat, met a watery grave. , Sixteen of those who were saved died shortly after reaching the deck of the Napo- leon. From present information. it la believed that the total loss of life by this terrible dis aster.vvill not fall short of three orroar hun dred persons. - The steamer Alliance arrived beie Wei afternoon with forty-five of the.dead bodies.

Awattttos Aoars.—Some tin "ago, we expressed our wonder that the greit cotive; oiellae.orawninge shouldle confined. solely to shops, hotels and other dwellings of a public nature, while no one ever dreams of rendering a private residence comfortable by such means. Since the article in question ap peared, we have observed one or two private houses thus improved, and were struck with the facethat no greater convenience for se curing shade and cool. draught could be imagined. Were entire - blocks of private houses thus sheltered, it would be difficult to realize that our citizens had ever gone so long without so simple and yet advantage s contrivance. Those who know the com fort of passing, of a flaming hot day, if only for a few yards, under some oasis in the desert of a shop awning, can certainly ap preciate the idea. So, too, should all who would love to havast cool draught through their parlors without admitting sunshine.— And so, too, certainly should those house wives who fear to open their windows lest the sun should take the color out of their curtains and carpets, and consquently keep them shut a sort of Dutch exclusive ness. It is a great pity that so simple a matter is so little thongt of. Awnings, whether 'for • single windows in the Italian style, or for the whole range of the front of the house, are, when striped and colored, a a graceful architectural ornament, and one tending more than any other to give a plea sant relief. to houses otherwise devoid of taste and spirit. We have little hope that such a departure from old custom will ever be generally adopted as that of putting awnings before dwelling houses, .but we are happy in knowing that those - who have ven tured on -the daring experiment would not be without them for anything.—Phile.'l3a/- /dia. CLERICAL WIT UNWITTINGLY.-At the re cent medical 'convention holden at Lewis town, the clergy_and members of the bar were invited to the repast given at the De Witt House by the followers of Galen, and after the cloth was removed, during the in terchange of sentiments, the Rev. Mr. 8., while alluding to the intimate relations be tween the professions of the clergy and the physician, in all seriousness remarked that it was a somewhat•singular fact that "when the doctor was called the minister was sure to follow." The.doctors gave him three cheers. —Portland .Transcript. The above reminds us of a harder hit at the doctors, which may be found in the Bi ble. In the sixteenth chapter of the second book of Chronicles is the following: "And Asa, in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great; yet in his dis ease be sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians. And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.—Lynn News. A harder hit at the medical fraternity is given in Mark'i gospel, (v. 26,) relating to a "certain woman" who "had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bet tered, but rather grew worse!" A BRAVE Glaz.—The Lynn News says that a young lady, residing near Breed's Mills, in that town, after retiring, one even ing week before last, heard a noise which caused her to raise her head and look about the room, when she saw a man crawl out from under her bed! She immediately sprang up, seized a glass lamp, and, just as ho had reached an open door, leading to.the stairs, caught him by the collar of his coat, and dealt. several severe blows upon his face, with the lamp.• She then loosed her hold, and, when he had proceeded half way down stairs, the lamp came in -contact with his head .with such force as to finish his' descent, heels over head. „The police officer, from -whom these particulars were obtained, says the poor fellow is badly marked, and thinks be will not trouble the lady again. Aft.. Why is the tolling of a bell like the prayer of a hypocrite? Because it is a solemn sound by a thoughtless tongue. 6#l 'll.aThrt,s. ijoitqi'43L.kwoOD):ll.',CiocCitia WUOLESALE PRICES.
