Hundreds and thousands of the Ameri can people, unprepared bv previous ac-j counts of the President's illness, will bel startled by the announcement that one! who held so high a place in their affec-j tions. and whom a majority a few months j since elevated to the highest office in their gift, lias gone to that bourne from whence] no traveller returns, and, free from thc j cares and turmoils of life, now calmly! rests beneath the sod of mother earth. 1 General Taylor is no more ! Him whom! the mighty engines of war, the hardships! and privations of a frontier life, the merci-l less Indian, and the miasma of Mexico's! plains, left unharmed and unscathed fori more than forty years of perilous sen ice,l has now fallen a \ ictim to an insidious,l end to the aged, fatal disease, which in a| few hours after assuming a tindent form.l 'truck down the giant oak that had with-1 stood the storms and tempests of many! long and eventful years. It is hard to re-1 alize that sucli is the truth, and did not! admonitions so often come to warn usl of the uncertainty of life—were we not! daily, almost hourly, instructed that " in! the midst of life we are in death," doubt,! painful doubt, might linger on the mind ofj its reality : but there is no room for that.l The brave old hero of many a well-con-! tested field, has, in the midst of his bright? career, been summoned hence, and goes! down to his grave honored, beloved, and] respected by millions of freemen w hose! hearts beat in response with the widowed] partner of his bosotn and the children of] his love for the loss sustained by all. The first intelligence of his illness was] received here by telegraph on Monday af-J ternoon, bv which we learned that the! President was laboring under a bilious re mittent fever, following a severe attack of cholera morbu. and that but slight hopes were entertained of his recovery. These expectations were but too soon verified. Lp to noon on Tuesday there was no change for the better, although everything that e i skill and science could effect had been brought into requisition. During the af ternoon. he was somewhat easier, and hopes began to be entertained of his re-j covering; it was however but the calm and deceitful prelude too often preceding the final separation of body and spirit, for at ten that night he commenced sinking rapidly, congestion of the stomach, brain and lungs having set m, and at thirty-five minutes past ten o'clock, surrounded by his family, the t'abinel, V ice President, Mayor, Marshal of the District, and med ical attendants, he passed away with the utmost composure. " I have tried to do my duty, and tun prepared to go," w ere the l ist words uttered by the venerable chieftain. Would that all, in the trying moment, eould say likewise. PKOi F.t:i>!\<;S OF (OHEESS. f>n the assembling of Congress on the 10th, the following message from the late \ ice President was read in both Houses : WASHINGTON, July 10th, 1850.

After tome remarks I [from the Speaker a message from the was read as follows : I ' Fellow-citizen* of the Senate and House of Rtprt-j : A groat man has fallen among (is, and }a whole community is called to an occasion of [unexpected deep arid general mourning. I re [commend to the two Houses of Congress to 'adopt such measures as in their discretion may [seem proper to perform with due solemnities 'the funeral obsequies of Zachary Taylor, late [president of the United States, and thereby to signify the great and affectionate regard ol the American people for the memory of one whose life has been devoted to the public service— whose career in arms has not been surpassed in usefulness or brilliancy—who has been so re cently raised by the unsolicted voice of the people, to the highest civil authority in the gov-j ernment, which he administered with so much Bhonor and advantage to his country, and by I w hose sudden death so many hopes of future [usefulness have been blighted forever.

He was a young man generally esteemed, and during his residence in Lewistown, se- cured many warm friends, who in common with his bereaved relatives deeply deplore his untimely death far away from home and kindred. SAD ACCIDENT.—BENJAMIN BOWMAN, of White township, Cambria county, former ly of Wayne township, Miillin county, we are pained to hear met with an acci dent on the 26th ult., which terminated fatally. Mr. B. had been to mill on that day with a one horse wagon, and in de scending a hill on his return home, the horse from some unknown cause com menced kicking and ran away, striking Mr. B. on the breast, as is supposed, and dragging him a considerable distance. He was lound on the road hv some residing in the neighborhood, and removed to the nearest dwelling and thence to his home, where, after lingering until Friday, he breathed his last. .Mr. B. was in the 52d year of his age, and has many friends and relatives in this county who will grieve to learn of the sad accident by which his wife and children are deprived of a loved husband and father. St; DDE N DEATH.—WILLIAM STIECE, aged Ft years, son of Christian Spiece, deceased, while returning from the sand I hole near town, fell down this morning and immediately expired.

About half past four o'clock on Tues day afternoon a fire broke out in tho-block of buildings on Delaware Avenue, south of Vine street, which burnt rapidly in eon sequence of the pressed hay and other com bustible matter stored in them. The fire men had succeeded in partially arresting the flames, when a terrific explosion occur red, caused, it is said, bv saltpetre stored! in the building by the owner, which burst! out the walls, and hurled the fragments! with violence into the houses on the West? side of Water street, generally occupied 5- by poor families. It killed and maimed t several persons there, and caused the death 4 and injury of many others. Some were 3 also believed to have been drowned. The number of houses destroyed is va-® riously estimated from two to three hun-vj dred. The accurate number of persons /• killed, wounded anil missing is mcfre diffi cult to be ascertained than the number of / houses destroyed. Thus far the Coroner i' " * had held inquests upon 15 bodies, some of/- which were mutilated in a most shocking 2 manner, so as to render it impossible for<j their friends to recognise them. Thejsj whole number of killed will probably reach J 25, wounded 75—total 100. j| The lire extended north 011 W ater street J and the wharf about, half a square above! Callow hill street.

Wrarlco We have our 44 knoekings" and other! mysterious matters in this country toamusef the credulous, until some prying Yankees discloses the trick, when the subject on-j hand is at once buried in oblivion; butl in Italy, when a miracle is brought before! the admiring gaze of a superstitious people, | no such interference is allowed, and thou sands go to their graves under a firm belief that they have been among the favored few to whom was \ouchsafed a sign from [Heaven ! The last foreign advices bring ... b vis some of the particulars of a" miracle" now being exhibited at a church in Rimini, Italy, and bishops, priests and laymen [with one voice declare that the\ have seen it. Even the Pope seerns to give credence! to this imposture, and as if such a hum-9 bug was worthy of a moment's thought, j has caused an order to he issued to the! Bishop of Rimini to have the matter jix dicially investigated. The whole things consists of a madonna picture that opens! and shuts its eyes—a trick anv American would unveil in five minutes—but not so the credulous Italians, for we learn that the bishop having hail doubts of its truth, he decided ongoing himself to verify the! facts. 41 He threw himself," the account! says, 44 on his knees at the feet of the pir-s 44 turc ; he prayed with fervor, and at the! • 4 end of a few minutes, the eyes of the Ala-* 44 donna opened and shut, and then turned! 44 and fixed themselves on him, and for the 3 44 space of five minutes, said the Bishop * 44 himself, a few days since at Rome, to jj 44 one of the most enlightened and pious of \ 44 our prelates, during five minutes 1 was " nble to contemplate the seven wonders l" of Paradise ; 1 was at length compelled j" to turn away my head, for I could no " longer support what I saw." * v ihe Juniata Register makes a verv lame attempt to answer a paragraph of ours (erroneously credited to the Huntingdon Journal) respecting the " most unmitigated political seoundreis in the world," which the ( hamhershurg Valley spirit acknowl edged arc hanging to the skirts of the de mocracy ot this State, and wants to know whether that makes the principles of the par'y any tin* less pure and salutarv ?

Well, if he is not, he ought to ibe, though that is not al ways the best re commendation with " the powers that be.", lit As we expected the Ledger's ac count of a " terrible accident" at Ilolli daysburg, by tin- falling of a circus, killing some and maiming others, turned out a hoax, There was no circus there. From California. The steamer Philadelphia with two, weeks' later news from California, arrived: at Now York on Sunday night from Cha gres. The news from California possesses Jbut little interest. The P. brings the very darge amount of two millions Jive hundred, thousand dollars in gold. There is 110 1 0 1 change in the markets, and the general news is of but little importance. The mi ners are obtaining large quantities of gold, and no further Indian disturbances have [occurred. The late disastrous fire at San ; Francisco has been ascertained to have been the wqyrk of incendiaries. PAIVE'S ELECTRIC LIGHT. The newspapers for some months past have been speculating as to the merits of Mr. Pa ine's discovery of manufacturing gas from water, but up to this time we re main in doubt as to whether the thing is a 1 humbug or not. Paine pretends to laugh in his sleeve at the speculations of the dif ferent newspapers on the genuineness of his discovery, and he may well afford to Mo so, if he is in earnest. Meantime let us give such evidence on the subject as has come out. A committee of highly re -1 spertable citizens of Worcester have is sued the following statement: — WORCESTER, June 28. 1850. We, the undersigned, have witnei-wd the de- -composition of Water, by Mr fame's magneto v electro apparatus, at the Central Exchange, at ■\ a public ball (Flagg's; and al Mr. Paine's d wel- A ling—we have seen, at various times and vari ' ou placis, the water resolved into the gases, • under circumstances which precluded entirely the u*e of secret conduits, cisterns, or any other than the avowed one of electrical action; s ,and we know thai the only portions of the ap paratus kept secret have been the interior of helices and electrodes, both of which, corn ?biried together, would not contain a quart of ''any liquid or other material. We have like >Tvise w itricjsed he construction of Mr. Puine's % apparut is. piece by piece, (with the exceptions " of the helices and electrodes) and have been in *" the habit of railing on him at all hours of the day, and witnessing the putting together of the apparatus, previous to the decomposition of the .water, and, when together, witnessed the de - composition in glas-jurs, and have seen the gas ges burn directly from the same. And we i'ur- Bther state that the gase have been evolved in ■ separate jars, the hydrogen in one and the ox jiygen in the other, with out any communication K between either jar, than a thin strip of copper. g[Sigtied] —If.

J 9 The editor of the Boston Transcript (a; ■ highly respectable journal) thus gives his! ■testimony. He does not, however, ap-j ■pear a full believer yet, because Mr. Paine, ■did not show his whole apparatus and se cret to the company present. On arriving at Worcester we proceeded to the residence of Air. Paine, in the southern scc-[ tion of the city, where we found from twenty to twenty-five gentlemen, of high character and] standing, several of whom were scientific in' their pursuits. We were courteously received, by Mr. Paine. The house, which is a small' genteel country residence, was lighted with the' most brilliant gas light we ever beheld, which !! Al r ■ Paine assured the company was Ins hydro-1 electric light. It gave out a pure, inodorous; white opaque flame, by which the most delicate] colors, blue and green] could be as readiiy dis-| tinguished as bv the light ftf the sun at nooni day. lie then exhibited, in a basement room,j lus gasometer, which was a small sheet iron] vessel in shape of a common pyramid stove.l standing in the corner of the room, on a triang-3 ular box, which he stated contained ins magnets' and electrodes which produced pure hydrogen! ga*. which he carburctted, and which was seen! burning. This was don* by passing a pipe from' the gasometer through the cork of a glass con-S taming a pint of spirits of turpentine, brought? by one of the company, where the gas wasseen* to bubble, and from another pipe through thej same cork was carried to the burner, where it! was lighted 1 his simple and compact appara-" tus, he stated contained the grand secret of discovery, the interior of which apparatus ofv course was not seen by those present If there? w as any deception in the production of the gas,ij it could not be discovered by any one present. 5 gMr. P. detached the pipe from the jar, and pro-i educed pure hydrogen, which was lighted and! § pronounced pure hydrogen by those that knew* .'it to he such. | ! \\ ith the New York Dispatch, we canj 'only say vve hope the discovery is a real 3■. . - .

At Saratoga Springs two young men lost each an arm by a premature explosion ; at Boston, a seamen was instantly kilied by the explo sion of a small iron cannon ; at Lansing burgh, N. Y., two pieces were premature ly discharged at the same time and four men were severely injured and one or two slightly; in Williamsburg, N. Y., a boy fired a pistol, the burning wadding of which entered the cartridge box of a sol dier, causing its explosion, and injuring him so much that his life is despaired of; at East Boston and Newton Mass., acci dents involving the loss of limbs and pro perty also occurred ; at Beading, in this Slate, Bonneville Umstead, a member of the Reading Artillerists, was seriously in jured by the premature discharge of a [brass six pounder. Umstead wa< stand ing at the mouth of the piece engaged in pushing home a cartridge, when the man' at the breech thoughtlessly removed his thumb from the touch-hole, which caused an instantaneous discharge of the load. The rammer struck Umstead upon the right arm with great force, completely tearing off his right hand, and mutilating the arm almost up to the elbow. lie re- Iceivcd, besides, the contents of the piece •jf right into his face, which burned him very _) seriously, and injured the right eve so - fmuch that it is feared he will never again ' have the use of it. At New Haven, Conn., a large crowd were assembled on I : *the green, Thursday, to witness the firing f Sof the canon in honor ot the day. A lit rf tie girl, about ten years of age, made Iter way through the crowd, and, not being s of the danger, attempted to pass 1 -ithe cannon just at the time that the match r was applied. The wadding came in con ' stnet wish her head, and, horrid to relate, -A - . it was completely severed from her body, j | Many others no doubt occurred of which - owe have as yet no account, but these I '.--'alone are startling enough to be chronicled , y for one day. 3 rw The Columbia county papers, hav -1 * ing raised the cry of 44 repeal," are still hammering away at Best, of the Danville Intelligencer, for having procured the pas sage of the Montour county bill.
