Uaula Legislature.
On the sih tlie Speaker laid before the
W iate the following communication front
,j ie State Treasurer:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, (
Ilarrisburg, February,s, IHSO. J
CRNVTORS: —The resolution ot your lionora
' body of the 26tb ultimo is before me. My
-encc Hi Philadelphia on public duty, has
* von led an eat lie: reply.
regards the allegation of the Canal ('ora
'■doners, and the complaint of :\ essrs. Nor
"T Brothers, enquired of by your resolution, 1
to reply as follows:
Messrs. Norris, Brothers, never personally
-e'jeiited at the Treasury for payment, nor did
I i v person for lhem.an order from the Canal
i'i'minissioners for the amount they claim ;nor
. ,' ae I vet official notice that the State owes
. , | in default of 9eli notice, duty required
.7,1 I should refrain from paying away the
public money.
' i|sil those gentlemen presented such an or
v, J would have been justified in withholding
I ly'ment, the evidence being that Messrs.
\orns, Brothers, charged seven hundred dol
' " 3 more for each locomotive furnished the
4te, than they charged the Pennsylvania
Rs road Company—or, in other words, they
furnished that Company with a more expensive
a-iicle for seven hundred dollars less, and re
eved one thousand five hundred dollars in
!ra je—so large a profit wouid seem to justify
B liberal credit. .
The engines referred to were purciiased, it
seems, under the authority given in the six
teenth section of the last appropriation bill.
This being true, it scarcely justified the sale,
by the Canal Commissioners, of five Locomn
t ves worth at least TWEN T\-F 1\ E 1 HOU
MND DOLLARS, for the paltry sum ol
TBIRTV-THREE HUNDRED AND NINE
TY DOLLARS, thereby SACRIFICING UP
WARDS OF TWEN IT-ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, which evinces gross ignorance of
the value of property, or a criminal neglect of
duty. Perhaps these facts would not have
justified me in hesitating to pay Messrs. Nor
ris, Brothers, had I been drawn on for the
money.
1 never a-rused to settle the accounts of the
Superintendent of Motive Power on the Co
lumbia road. The rule of the office is to take
us in ftj order every item of business, and
Willi tins regulation I require a strict compli
ance.
I am not aware of having purposely refused
at any time "money appropriated to the man
agement and repairs of any of the other lines
ofthe public works."
Since I have been responsible for the man
agement of toe State finances, I have not re
ceived from the Canal Commissioners, at any
■ ne, a moment's notice of their intention to
craw on the Treasury, other than was furnished
by the actual presentation of their drafts.
While it is both my duty and my pleasure to
"jvide the ways and means to answer every
caii, nevertheless, the interests and credit ol
::.e State, as every business man will under-
Kind, cannot be sustained, if other branches ol
j? government refuse to harmonize with this
.tuartment. To such a degree have the Canal
x.-d carried their antagonism, that upon the
upoiDtments of officers, whose duties bring
•Jem in contact with the Treasury, they have
not furnished notice of the change. In the
xyment of money, care is required. For that
r.rpose the names of officers must be known ;
jeir persons and their signatures identified;
si also a knowledge that they have given the
required bond before mcney can be advanced
them. The first notice 1 have received of the
nan ge of officers, was the presentation, by the
sew incumbents, of drafts for large sums ol
money.
Senators are aware, that the Treasury has a
sat number of payments to provi !e for besides
'tie canal appropriations. It seems proper,
therefore, in a business view, that the Treas
*er, whoever he may be, should have the co
pers Hon ot co-ordinate branches of' the gov
ernment, rather than to have so powerful ar
arm as the Canal Board, exercising their au
thority to draw money without reference tc
.e general interests, or the credit of the State.

TORONTO, (C. YV.) Feb. 2
The following is a copy of an official des
'jatch received by l>ord Elgin, from the Homo
Government:
DOWNING STREET, Ixindcn, Jan. 9, 18fi0.
MY LORD— I have to acknowledge your dee
patchea, of the dates and numbers quoted in
ie margin. I haye laid these despatches be
>re her Majesty, and also the addresses of the
•wrden and counsellor ofthe Municipal Coun
'•;! of the Gore district, of the Lieutenant
1 -alone i and officers of militia ofthe First and
Kighth battalions of the regiment of Dorches
ter, of the officers of the Fourth battalion of
us regiment of the Kamouraaka district, the
inhabitants of ST Anne, and of the officers of
militia and Lieutenant Colonel commanding
ofthe regiment ot Quebec, enclosed
in (lie two first of these despatches, which her
Majesty has been pleased to receive very gra
ciously.
It has afforded her Majesty great satisfaction
'o receive these expressions of that loyalty and
•ttachment to the British crown, which she
trusts is generally felt by her Canadian sub
jects.
With regard to the address to the people of
Canada, in favor of severing the province from
'ne British dominiona, for the purpose ot an
nexation to the United States, which forms the
'vuject of three of theae despatches, 1 have to
miorm you that her Majesty approves of your
having dismissed from her service those who
hive sign- d the document, which is scarcely
short of being treasonable in its character.
Her Majesty confidently relies on the loyalty
i.f th i great majority of her Canadian subjects,
and she has therefore determined to exert all
me authority that belongs to her, for the pur
uoseof maintaining the connexion with Canada
vi!h this government, being persuaded that
t ie permanence of that connexion is highly ad
vantageous to both.
Your Lordship will therefore underntand
that you are comrnandfd by her Majesty to re
to the utmost o! your power, any attempt
winch may be made to bring about the separa
tion of Canada from the British dominions, and
'o mark in the strongest manner her Majesty e
'■ "-pleasure with all those who may directly or
indirectly, eneourge such a design; and, if
-i > attempt of tins kind should take such a
Grin, that those wiio are guilty of it may. ac
cordiiij/ io such advice as you may recvive
iruffi your litw •dvuforn, be made responsible
't ilo-,r conduct in a court of justice, you will
! "t fail to take the necessary measures lor
them to account.
1 am, my l>,rd, your must obedient servant,
GREY.

Terrible Lvplo-lon at Yew York—Great
Loss of Life.
I The New York papers are filled with details
j of an "plosion which took place at New York
jon Monday morning last. The building in which
lite explosion occurred was a six or seven story
1 bt ick erection, on the rear corner of an immense
f mass >ve building owned and occupied by Wm.
I Hull & Son. The boiler was upon the first floor,
j by some said to be new, by others represented as
second hand, but estimated to be as good as new.
Sixty persons were employed by Taylor & Co.,
and sixty-three by St. John, Burr & Co., most
of whom were in the building at the time. The
boiler blew upwards, carrying off the roof of the
building. The walls afterwards caved in, and
the ruins were set on fire by the scattered burn
ing coals. Ihe police and firemen immediately
set to work to extricate the sufferers. Twenty
two individuals up to Tuesday night had been
taken from the ruins alive, but all more or less
injured. The dead bodies of thirty-three had
also been recovered, and all but five identified,
making fifty-five persons in all, and with those
who escaped from the building, about seventy
persons can now be accounted for. It was sup
posed that there were yet at least twenty bodies
buried in the ruins.
from the Tribune.
The scene at the station house in Oak street
was of the most painful description. Nearly
a score of mangled and horribly disfigured
bodies were lying at one time in an empty
house adjoining. Some have had life at once
crushed out, their heads being now a shape
less mass; others seem to have endured in
tense agony before their spirits departed. Onl v
a few could be recognised by their blackened
and disfigured features, but generally the rem
nants of their garments was all that enabled
their anxious and weeping friends to know
them. So painful was the scene, and so touch
ing the agony of the poor women who beat
over the mutilated remains, to discover by
some shred of clothing w bether a son, husband
or brother lay before them, that even the police,
accustomed to sights of suffering, shed tears and
grew sick at heart. Nearly every one who has
thus far been rescued, whether alive or dead,
had hi\shirt sleeves rolled up, showing that he
had already commenced work for the day.
