Monroe Doctrine A. correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, writing from Wast±ington, says that the general government intends to get rid of the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, and adopt the Ameri. can Continental policy i that Mr. Boreland will present these views in Central America; and Mr. Buchanan in England. No treaty will be made that will recognize any , co-operation with Great Britain, or any European pOWer, in an ' interoce anic transit. The United States are' to act inde- Pendently of all other nations in all matters rela tive to this continent. This, if true, is the, first step toSards the' Monroe doctrine, so distinctly avowed in the President's message. The Monroe principle is very distinctly indica ted in an ariicle in the Washington Union, on our relations to the independent - States of this . conti vent, in which it advises a friendly and magnani mous policy towards the States of South as well as those of Central America, with a view of counter acting any feeling of appreirension they may have exhibited at the territorial growth of the United States, which feeling may by British diplomacy be used so as to supercede American influence on the American Continent. The Union says Shall this republic, at the height of national power and glory, and with io:brilliant a destiny before it, embarrass the struggling republics of South America with apprehension of its ambition or rapacity? Or shall it rather respect their weakness and support their tottering step's by. its giant arm? Shall it teach them to confide in its iustice—to rely upon its protection, to respect its honor? Shall it cement them with cordial alli ance, or detach them from their European connex ion?—or shall it offend and repulse them by a po licy w..lich excites distrust and vague fears of absorp tion It is doubtless the determination of this government to pursue the policy 'of justice and peace—to cultivate the friendship of neighbcring States with assiduous care and to bind them to this country in the strong embrace of a politit•al as well as - a commercial alliance. The nations of this continent have interests peculiar to promote, and a destiny of their own to work out, and it is `essential not only that, they should be exempt from the domination of, foreign influence, but that they should cordially co-operate in rearing the great fabric of republican government. • ID' A Charter was granted, by our Legislature at its late session, for the establishment of a Fe male College at Harrisburg.

DX Whenever we have a disposition to take les sons in•morality from any of our neighbors, we shall not apply to the Editor of the Express—that's certain. A pretty article, truly, to set himself up as a teacher of morals! -What an unaccountable sympathy he has for " a fugitive brother." By the way, does he mean a fugitive from labor, or is. it a fugitive from justice for whom his bowels of com passion are so much excited? It might be inter esting to the pliblic to..know " which is which."— Those who happen to "reside in glass houses should never throw stones," neighbor. Carrictsis —The New York Christian Observer, the leading organ of the religious denomination to which Mrs. Stowe belongs, closes iti review of her novel in the following language:—=" The work is, to say the least of it, a smutty story; quite too fa miliar with the kitchen, and the porter of the de bauchee, and the numerous yellow tresses, who have the honor of presiding in their midnight scenes of corruption." • The Abolition organ of Lancaster county don't. think so--on - the contrary the numerous editors of that sheet are of the opinion that it is a marvel lously proper book, and that Mrs. Stowe is the ve ry perfection of decency. People will differ in opin ion. THE NORTH Biwica Ceres..—The tolls collect ed at Beach Haven, on the North Branch Canal, in March and April of this year, show an excess of #9,030 over the same months last year. No one has advocated a high tariff ifr this country with so much zeal and pertinaciti as Hoaacz GREELT of the New York 71 - oltune. He has de= voted column atter column in his paper to the task of proving that - without one the country would go rapidly to - ruin and destructiorr. He has predicted all sorts of evils from the operations of the tariff of .1.846; which, in his opinion, was certain tode _ stroy almost every branch of American industry. The. necessity of protection has always .been the substance of his articles on politicat economy, and long after many of the most prominent men in the Whig_party, learning by .experience its folly, were. willing to place it in the category with the United States Bank, and regard it as an ." obsolete idea," Greeley continued battling for it with the most res olute determination. Of all the'numerous hobbies of the editor of the Tribune, we know of no one that be has ridden harder than that of a protective tariff, or one that-we supposed he would be less likely to abandon.. But since Scott was defeated last November, Mr. Greeley has learned two things —first, that there is no Whig party; and, second, that a protective tariff Is not so essential, after all to the prosperity of the country. In a rant num-, ber of the Tribune, he thus discourses: "We propose, leaving things that are behind, to go on unto perfection. We do not care even to revive the tariff controversy, if our antagonists therein will unite with ue in urging forward the great Pa cific railroad, since we believe many branches.of our manufactures already so solidly established as to need no other protection than such as the merest revenue duty will afford, and look for that railroad to do more for American manufactures than any tariff has done, or could now do. in widening the market, and making the United States, instead of Great ftritaia, the commercial centre of the world." This defection of Mr. Greeley from the ranks of the Protectionists, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, leaves them almost withogt an, advocate, and we imagine that the number of persons who will now seriously argue in favor of that once favorite Whig dogma is very limited indeed. It is gratifying to the Democracy to see the opposition thus coming in to support of their policy, after time has vindi cated its correctness and claim -, upon public sup port. It is true, Mr. Greeley seems to make his abandonment of the protective policy conditional upon the building of the Pacific railroad ; but that he does for the purpose of letting himself down from the high to the low tariff platform, upon which he means hereafter to stand. Too sudden a descent would not have been prudent-in the Tri bune philosopher, and he has been wise in having something prepared to break his fall. The e l ate Railroad Accident. Is it not awful, says the Methodist Protestant.— What utter recklessness of human lire and human happiness ! In a moment some sixty men, women and children sent into eternity, through the sheer carelessness of the engineer of a locomotive engine. Our readers all know the particulars, we pre sume. On Friday morning (May 6th,) the train from New York, eastward, ran into the river at .Norwalk, Connecticut—the draw of a bridge hav ing been opened to permit a steamer to pass. The usual signal was given, but it was unheeded. In a moment the gaiety and hilarity of life gave place to the crash—the mangling of bodies—the suffo cation of drowning—the silence of death ! The details of the newspapers are appalling.— No accident of the many that have recently occur red on our railroads has equalled this. We have scarcely recovered the shock at its first intelligence. All over the country men's hearts have been sunk within them, as the telegraphic wires told the mournful tale. Is nothing to be done to arrest this havoc of men . and women and children? Are reckless men to have thns committed to their care the lives of the whole travelling community? How is it that of late these accidents have so fearfully multiplied?— For the first fifteen years of our railroad history comparatively few accidents occurred—now men are killed almost every day, and sometimes scores at once. Again we say, is nothing to be done?— Will not our legislators interfere in the matter. Is life so cheap that it may be committed to a swag gering, swearinPengineer or conductor, with the hill perinission to guard or destroy it as he sees fit? It is said by the New York Tribune that "at Stamford the conductor had told the engineer to drive • like hell through Norwalk, as two, men wanted to get off there, and he would see4hem damned first." What a comment is this upon the character of some of the men employed on our railrOadst— It corressponds precisely with what we have often seen exhibited on railroads and steamboats! Pardon of Margaret M'Cormlek. We cut the followipg statement from the Phila delphia Ledger, in relation to a matter that has at tracted the attention of the. Whig press for some days past. Since the pardon of Margaret M'Cormick, con victed of the crime of throwing oil of vitriol in the face of John M'Cann, and destroying his eyes, was granted by Governor Bigler, considerable censure has been heaped upon him for that act. When the fact of the pardon was announced, no reasons were assigned for the grant of it, and various conjectures were made as to the motives that induced the Gov ernor to sign the pardon. The grounds upon which the pardon was based, were the recommendations of the Board ..e Inspectors of the Eastern Peniten tiary, together with the statement ofthe Warden of the prison and the representation of the Prison Physicians, that the health of the prisoner, Marga ret M'Cormick, had rapidly failed during the few weeks previous to the time referred to in their com munication; that her condition was extremely crit ical ; that her symptoms were those of a rapid con sumption; that she suffered much from depression, and that unless some favorable and unexpected change took place, she could not service many weeks. These appeals, independent of others in the State Department al Harrisburg, induced Governor Bigler to pardon the girl, who is now an inmate of the Almhouse. It is due to the Governor tie rea sons should be given, so that the public. carrfully understand why Margaret M'Cormick was released from prison.—Dem. Union. Hon. John C. Knox It is stated that Governor Bigler has commis sioned the Hon. Jim; C. Kxox, formerly of Tioga county, to fill the vacancy on the Supremel3ench occasioned by the decease of Judge Gibson. Judge Knox was formerly President Judge of the Westinoreland district, and more recently of the Clarion district, to which latter post he was elected by the people, and is universally conceded to have a high order of talents. Speaking of his appoint ment, 'the Philadelphia News (Whig) says: Judge Knox is a young man to be elevated to the Supreme Bench, but he is a well read lawyer, and we believe possesses all the qualifications to mske him an eminent and popular Judge. Pos sessed of great suavity of manners, and the most unspotted personal character, united with high le gal attainments, we cannot doubt that he will not only acquire a high reputation as' a jurist, but be come h favorite with the members of the bar, as well as others who may have official business to transact before him. Postmasters Appointed. 'The Philadelphia papers of yesterday announce the following Post Office appointments, in Pennsyl- vania: Benjamin Parke, Harrisburg. John B. Bratton, Carlisle. B. F. Sloan, Erie. ' J. Anderson. Pittsburg Charles F. Littel, Northumberland CROPS rar Vinatina.—The Fredericksburg Her ald states that the effects of guano are quite visible on several crops of wheat between that city and Spotsy lvania Court House. Land that heretofore was scarcely worth the seeding, looks as though twenty or twentydrve bushels might be lathered the approaching harvest. Condittoifot litorth'ern-Mexico. ' The parties who lately reached California with their large herds of cattle and sheep, gathered about Santa Fe, represent• the northern States of Mexico. Sonora, Chihuahua and Durango, ari being in a most deplorable condition, on account raithe deptedations of the Indian tribes. There was not atiqule, horse or ox to be had in Durango at any price. Farm ing operations had nearly. ceased, and the inhabi tanUtivere in the greatest distress and poverty.— The Apaches have swept the entire country, and advanced to the very gates of Durango, Chihuahua and Hermorillo. People dared not venture out to cul tivate their fields, and women and children have been carried off at midday, while washing in the streams but a few yards front their houses. The inhabi tants are paralyzed.. -The government has been in capable of coping with the savages, who commit with impunity all sorts of depredations. Not one man in twenty has any arms, other than a piece of sharpened end pointed iron ou the end of a pole, which is dignified - by the name of a lance. The few guns they possess are more dangerous to the owners than to their foes, and the people may be seen huddled together at the doors of their houses, their looks expressive of the most abject fear and despair. These States were all, at one period, populous, wealthy and flourishing; their valleys teeming with flocks and herds, and green with agricultural cul tivation, and their mines sources of exhaustless wealth. Now the ranches are overgrown with the cactus, the flocks are gone, the mines abandoned and closed, and the once populous towns that had grown around the mines have crumbled into ruins. The inhabitants on the frontiers of Sonora are about emigrating to the arable lands on the banks of the Gila, near its junction with the Colorado.— They are incited to this st-p by the continual in road made on them by the Apaches, where they now are, and the inability or indisposition of their own Government to protect them. They therefore hope to find that protection from our troops sta tioned at Camp Yuma. Some idea of the value of the mineral districts of this province may be formed, when we state that in one of the deserted `mines of Jesus Maria the pil lars that supported the mine at the time of its de sertion were compose- 1 almost exclusively of silver, and whose average richness was about 80 per cent. The pillars are many of them 20 feet in diameter, and from 25 to 30 lee( in height. The mine was worked in a horizontal direction some 2,000 feet, and supported every few yards by the massive me tallic columns.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Kane, the British Fugitive• The case of Km.; the British fugitive from jus tice, which it will be recollected created no little excitement in New York a few months since, has been decided by Judge Nelson, of the United States Supreme Court, in favor of the prisoner. Kane was claimed by the British Government as a fugi tive from justice—he having fired at, with the in tention of killing; a farmer in Ireland, named Falfe —under a provision of the Ashburton treaty, which proviaed that upon a proper demand being made, criminals should be surrendered up by one govern ment to the other. Kane was arrested in the first place under a warrant issued by a United States Commissioner, and on examination was tound guil ty and directed to be detained in custody to abide the order of the President of the United States.— A writ of habeas corpus was then obtained °I Judge Nelson by his counsel, and the whole matter brought before him for adjudication. After hearing the ar gument the Judge gave it as his opinion that the demand for the surrender of the fugitive should have been made first directly upon the government, and its consent and authority obtained before the judiciary could be called into requisition. He also decided that the Commissioner had no jurisdiction, not being an officer within the treaty or act of Con gress. A new warrant for the arrest of Kane was issued by the representative of the British Govern. ment, but the United States Marshal, acting upon the advice of the District-Attorney, refused to exe cute it in the face of the decision of Judge Nelson. The New York Herald says that the question now will be, is the Ashburton treaty a nullity ? HARRIET BERCIIER STOWES CES A HAIM—Th e New York National Democrat sus :—There was recently a family of thirty slaves in Virginia which the owner offered to sell into freedom at a very small price, and some benevolent parties in Phila delphia undertook to raise the amount by subscrip tion. The facts were presented by letter to Mrs. Sigourney, who immediately enclosed twenty-five dollars for that object. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was also written to, and of course she res ponded by sending a very large sum of money for the "glorious purpose." She had-just realized an immense fortune by her abolitionism; she was on the eve of starting for England, to be feted by the Duchess of Sutherland, and caressed by the hand of nobility, and of course she gave a n very " large sum to purchase these thirty slaves. No, good reader, she gave not one cent. She sent back a, let ter full of sympathy, abounding with the charity of advice and approval, but as empty of money as her own face is of shame at the contemptible part she is now playing in England of forgoing a state's evidence against her country. No, she had no mo ney for " the poor slave." As her eminent friend and co-laborer, Mr. Aminidad Sleek, would say, "It is not in our way." Her " mission " is to make money out of negro philanthropy, and not for it. TiTERN LICENSES-QUESTION OF AUTHORITY. —A question has arisen between the District At torney and the Attorney General of the State, rela tive to the right of the latter to depute authority to any magistrate to perform the duty of adminis tering oaths to sureties. for tavern licenses. Al derman Ash, a county magistrate, has opened an office, in a tavern, in the city, and advertised that, under authority deputed, he will administer such oaths. Mr. Reed contends that a county magis trate has no right to open an office in the city ; that by holding it in a tavern he was liable to in dictment; that since the District Attorney, an elective officer, is authorized expressly by law to perform the duties which were formerly performed by Deputy Attorney Generals, the Attorney Gen eral has no authority to appoint a deputy to per dorm this duty, and that applicants for tavern li censes have a right to appear before any Alderman of the city or county. Mr. Hughes thinks the du• ty of approval belongs exclusively to himself, and that District Attorneys have only general powers, which were common to Deputy Attorney Generals, before the former office waa made elective. This is a matter of some interest to the applicants for tavern licenses, for unless they proceed according to law, they may find themselves getting into trouble.—Daily News. SPEED OF THE TRATE.—It is a disputed point how fast the train was going over the bridge at Norwalk when the late disaster occurred. Some stating the number at fifteen miles an hour, others at fifty. One account says the locomotive leaped a distance of sixty feet and struck the abutment on the other side, sixteen feet below the bridge. If this be true, the speed of the engine must have been about forty miles per hour, as a body falls six teen feet in the first second of time. The fact is determined by the whith of the draw and the dis tince the engine fell before striking. If these dis tances can be accurately determined" there can be no difficulty in finding the rate of speed. If the train were going at twenty-five miles an hour, which is the most probable rate of speed, the ver tical distance which the locomotive fell- before it struck must have been forty feet—Ledger. STAMPED EETELOPES.-It is stated in the Jour nal of Commerce that the stamped envelopes, con tracted to be furnished the 11. S. Government by' Mr. G. F. Nesbit, of New York, will be ready for delivery by the first of June next.

Pretty heavy load that, wa should think! CITY. ND'COUNTY ITEMS: ' A. MUSICAL Tritax.—We are indebted to our friends, Messrs. P. DoNemxi, WEIME(EAr- Nu and J.

VIEW OP FULTON HALL—CoI. J. Franklin Rei gart, of this City, has procured a picture of Fulton Hall, designed and dratted by himself, and cut on wood and electrotyped by Mr. E.

The view, is from the South East corner of West King and Prince streets, showing the east and south fronts.— It is an admirably executed drawing, and reflects much credit on the skill of Messrs.

SMALL Pox.—This loathsome disease, as we learn from the Carlisle papers and other sources, has made its appearance amongst the students of Dick_ inson College. Quite a number are now suffering with the disease, and the greater portion of those who have not yet contracted it have fled for their homes, and the college duties have been entirely suspended. It is not stated how the disease origi nated, but a correspondent of the " Volunteer " re flects very severely upon the Faculty and President for the filthy condition of the College buildings, 4-c., and incline's to the opinion that the Small Pox was engendered in that way. • We hope there is some mistake in this matter, as we can hardly suppose that such a state of things existed in that time-bon ored institution.

Terrible Disaster From the San Francisco Times of the 17th ult., 'we take the following detailed account of the ex plosion of the steamer Jenny Lind, which occurred irl that harbor on the previous day, and the heart leading.etreumstancesittendinei • • • Yesterday morning the steamer ienny,Lintriook ab'Out one hun4red and twenty-five passengers ion baird Alvise, and started on a trip for this!city. At about half-past twelve o'clock, wheti-nearliop posite Pu!gOs - Ranche, and the company lin board tieing Just "aboul seated at the dinner table in the after cabin, the•steamer proceeding at a moderate •speed, thiback portion of the connecting pipe -was blown asunder and the Steam swept into the crowd ed cabin, dealing.death and destruction around, cre ating the most terrible agony. The scene was of such, a:charaptpr as to baffle all efforts at descrip tion. The screams of the wounded were painful, while the groans of those in .the last agonies of death were heart-rending. Those in the forward part of the boat, with the exception of. the fireman, who was standino• ° in flint of the furnace door, fortunately escaped. The fire man, who was a powerful man, struck his head against the door of the furnace in consequence of its flying open. His skull was broken and the brain horribly exposed A number of persons came to his assistance, but he motioned to them to leave him, saying, in the most emphatic man ner—"No, I am not a dead man! Go, and help others." In the after part of the boat but few escaped un hurt. Many who were standing near the guards were either blown overboard or leaped into the water in their sudden alarm. Of these, but one was picked up, the balance try eting a , watery grave. Immediately upon the occurrence of the disaster, the anchor was let go, and Peter Smith, who swam ashore in the marsh, gave information of the ca lamity. Shortly afterwards, a schooner and one or two small craft came out from Pulgas Ranch, but be belore any use could be made of them; the steamer Union, Captain .Mastern, came out from . Almeda Creek, and observing the steamer anchored with a signal of distress, made for her, add took off the passenger=. . . Upon receiving intelligence of the disaster, May or Brenham immediately set about making prepa rations for the relief of the sufferers. The Jenny Lind was !3n her way from Alviso to this city, and had ou board about 150 passengers. She was passed at 12 o clock precisely off Pulgas Ranche, by the steamer Express going the other way. At 10 minutes past 12, the boat being then about lour miles from the west shore of the bay, a Violent tremor was felt throughout the boat, like the concussion produced by the firing of a cannon, and in a second after a tremendous report was heard, and the whole vessel enveloped in a dense cloud of scalding steam. The plate on the atter-head of the boiler had been blown out, and the steam and boiling water rushed out with fearful violence. The bulk-head, separating the boiler from the cabin, which was att, was shivered into a thousand fragments by. the force of the shock. The cabin was a closely confined room, 15 by 9 feet, with very small windows looking out upon a sort of gangway that intervened between it and the railings. ,it was just about dinner time; the ta ble was spread, and a few minutes before the ladies and children, and gentlemen in charge of ladies, had been introduced into the cabin. so that they might not be incommoded by the rush to the dinner table when the bell should ring, and were about seating themselves when the explosion took place, end a dense volume of steam rushed into the cabin. All in the room were sore stricken as if wilted by heat. They were scalded frightfully externally, and all. inhaled the fearful steam. Not one escaped. All were either killed instantly, or have since died.— Many of,them had their-clothes torn from and the skin entirely btirned off their faces and bodies. 'The sight presented was horrible beyond descrip. lion, not simply the scalded, but all were more or less mangled by the fragments of the boiler and bulkhead, and streams of b'ood flowed from the mutilated bodies. Some few of the gentlemen man aged to grope their way out of the cabin, crying piteously to those above to save their wives and children. When some of the passengers who were unhurt, rushed below, a sight prevented itself which staggered them, and some became faint. They found the dead and dying lying in a con fused mass upon the floor. covered with fragments of chairs, tables, furniture, and timber; and horrible to relate, were writhing in the scalding water six inches deep on. the floor. Poor little children were. crying piteously for their mothers, who could bear, but blinded, could not see. Mothers shrieking in agony and calling - upon some ,one to save their children. The' picture, even in our recollection, is heart rending. Such was the scene in the cabin. The violence of the steam struck, as we have said, against the bulkhead in the rear of the boiler, and the greater portion burst through the cabin oe its mission of death; while another portion recoiled and rushed to the forward part, killing instantly one of the firemen who was standing in front of the furnace doors, mortally scalding another on the for ward deck, and killing several of the passengers who were standing on the forward part of the lower deck. 3d Division W Whiteside C. M. Howell. H. Rotharmel, Those of the passengers standing on the forward part of the upper deckwere2nearly all saved; a few only were scalded, and. those not dangerously, Those about mid ship, right over the boiler, were entirely uninjured. But the most terrible destruction was on the af ter part of the deck, just over the cabin. Here a large number of passengers were congregated. At- ter the steam had done its work of destruction in the cabin, it burst up the companion way, and in an instant swept those in its path to the deck, like grasp before the sickle. Not a man around stood. Fifty lay prostrate, scalded and wounded, shrieking in agony, and moaning out their last moments of life. As soon as the consternation had subsided, those who had escaped rushed to the assistance of the Sufferers, who were brought upon deck and laid out, some of them on mattrasses, and others on bare planks, with the carcasses of a number of hogs ranged on the deck as pillows. The cries of pain were fearful. Some lost their senses and raved madly; others were seen staggering blindly about, their skin hanging in threads from their bodies, and froth their hands like gloves turned inside out. Many had their clothes literally torn off them, and shivered in the cold, while burning internally and crying for water. Many were, literally scald- Id, their hair melted off, as it were, by the steam. A Meurrn Herron-E.—lt is stated in the New York Times that a report just reached the Hunga rians• in that city, through various private hands, of an event outreaching all yet known of Austrian cold-blooded, judicial tyranny. During the Spring of 1651, two years after the revolution, and in the midst of the quiet of slavery, all Hungary was aroused by the news, that a young and distinguish. ed lady had been suddenly arrested, the Countess Blanca Teleki. She was high-born, of One of the oldest families of Hungary—a family beloved for its many deeds of heroic patriotism. She had been owner of large estates--but, though of the aristo. cratic order, none loved her better than the peasan try. They all knew her as the friend of the poor. And in many rural districts, the Sunday Schools and Schools for the lower classes owe their origin entirely to the self-sacrificing labors'of this lady. Suspicion had never breathed upon her name. She loved Hungary, and she was a woman of heroic spirit. These were supposed to be the reasons of her arrest. The charge against her was, that she was in correspondence with Kossuth and Mazzini. No one, even there, supposed the Government would dare to injure her, or hold her long. The news now is, that in these first Spring days, the young Countess Teleki was privately executed in her prison—probably that of Gros Wardein. Cor.ustara. RAU.

They made forcible entrances into private dwellings, frightening and insulting the female occupants. A few energetic individuals suc ceeded in driving them back to their boats, and the town authorities forbade them from returning, at their peril. ..Shortly alter sundown on Wednesday evening the citizens were aroused to immediate action by the report' that one hundred and fifty fishermen were crossing the beach, threatening to attack and burn the town. The men all turned out, armed with guns, muskets rlnd huge clubs. The windows and doors of nearly every dwelling were locked and barred, and the females were in dreadful trepidation. In the meantime, the assailants continued to ad vance until' they reached the bridge which spans Lewes Creek, one hundred'and fifty yards from the town. Here a skirmish ensued, in which the fish ermen were driven back, with a few broken heads and bones By this time, a posse of the citizens bad taken possession of a canon in front of Mr. Burr's Hotel, loaded it with grape shot, and upon the repulse of the fishermen a volley was fired into them. The night was dark, and it could not be ascertained whether any one was shot. The firing, of the cannon served as a signal to the pilots off at the Breakwater. Seveial boat t loads immediately came on shore, and joining the citi 7 zens,•a pursuit was made after the repulsed assail .ants. Their rear was protected by a loaded swivel mounted on the bridge, with a slow match kept in readiness. The pursuing party, numbering a hundred or more, armed with some sixty or eighty guns, quickly reached the beach, and discovered the fish ermen had embarked for their vessels. The firing of the cannon warned them of the fact that there is plenty of fight in the men of Sussex. About 20 of the rioters made fOrcible entrance into the garden of Mr. Thomas Howard, and des poiled the premises of all the most rare exotics.— Not content with committing this outrage on the property of an unoffending individual, they turned upon Mr. Howard, and threw rotten eggs at him, and drove him from his garden. Another party entered the house of Dr. Hall, and insulted the females. The same . party burst into the house aditining, and drove the females into ihe back buildings, where they succeeded in resisting the further advances of the fishermen by barring all the entrances. In the skirmish Mr. Wm. A. Morrow had his leg severely hurt. Mr. Morrow, at one time. stood alone on the footway which extends across the beach, and, with but a single pistol, he kept the whole piny at bay. On Thursday and Friday nights patrols were sta tioned on the bridge and on the beach, where they placed their watch to prevent the landing of any large body of the fishermen. The citizens now have matters so organized as to permit only one or two to land at a time, for the purpose of procuring provisions, and supplies of sea stores. This arrangement will avoid the fishermen collecting in the town in any large body. MRS. HOWAOD.-A Baltimore paper gives the following account of this somewhat celebrated wo• man:— "The late marriage of the Emperor of France, and the puttinkaway of Mrs. Howard, as she is called, his former mistress, has a peculiar interest here.— This Mrs. How-rd is the daughter of a distinguish ed family in this city, but has long been consider ed by them as dead. When young sne was distin guished for her beauty and wit, as well as her extra ordinary amorous proptesities. She went to Eng land, was introduced into the highest society there by the daughter of a Maryland family, who is now one of the brightest ornaments of the British no bility. There she was married to a titled•gentle man, and after commiting a number of indiscre tions, and-giving her friends an infinite degree of trouble and anxiety, finally irretrievably disgraced herself by eloping with a gay young officer. (Al tor being in succesion the mistress of several no blemen. she attached herself to Louis Napoleon, with whom she has remained a number of years. A real affection is said to have existed between them, several children having been the,fruit of their connection. Her banishment to England, and her rumored abstracion of important secret papers from the Emperor's private apartment, is the last 'phase in her eventful life. After her fall, finding her reclamation impossible, her friends here announc ed her dead, and even went through the ceremony of interring her supposed remains in Greenwood Cemetery, and to them she is, to all intente, moral ly, if not phySically, dead. A building, situated on Main street, in this city, occupied as the Banking HoUse of Messrs. Robin eon &Co, and Robert Cobb, whilst undergoing re pairs, suddenly caved in this afternoon. The roof, and every story, were carried through to the ground. It is learned that 15 or 20 work men, and some of the occupants of the upper story, are bnried beneath the ruins. The front of the building had been taken out and left without sufficient support. Workmen are now clearing away the ruins as rapidly, as possible, in order to relieve those beneath. SECOND DESPATCH Burreco, May 111-10 P. M Five men have just been taken from the ruins alive, one with his legs badly crushed and other wise seriously injured. Three dead bodies have also been recovered—one named John Hufford, a mater carpenter, having hie head horribly crushed. Whilst digging at the end of the building, a man felt his hand clasped tightly by one beneath the ruins, and after removing the mass above, a boy, named Geo. Kinsay, was discovered jammed be tween the timbers. He was, after much difficulty, rescued alive, thongh much injured internally. The Fire department have organized themselves for night work, and are striving manfully to re move the ruins. It is supposed that fifteen persons are still Beneath the building. All are doubtless dead, as the falling mass piled up thickly and solid from the cellar to the second story.

LOSS OF STEAMSHIP S. S. LEWIS. Another Steamboat- Exploeion—Twenty Lives Lost— Forty or Fifty injured. Naw OILLIANii, May 9. Pile? ste4pship Daniel Webster, from San Juan, wittigalikirnia dates to the 16th of April, reached her 'w . harglist The Diaiel Webster connected with and brings 114,0/"ssengerii steamship Brother Jonathan, which leftOan Francisco OiLthe 16th ult. - The Danlil Webster brings about 200 passengers, and a considerable amount in gold dust. The most important news by Mis arrival is the ,intelligence ef..the.total wreck , of the steamship S. S. Lewis, belonging to the Nicaragua line. She run ashore'in a fog near the same spot where the Tennessee struck, a few weeks ago, and shortly af ter became a total wreck. Her passengers, num bering 385, are all believed to have been saved. At the time of the accident the S. S. Lewis was from San Juan to San Francisco, with the passen gers by the Prometheus, which left New York on the 19111 of 'March. ' The.S. S. Lewis was built at Philadelphia, in 1.851., and was valued at $200,000. There was in• surance on her. Steamship Jenny Lind had exploded her boilers near San Francisco, terribly scalding from 60 to 70 persons: twenty of whom had since died: Among the victims of this terrible disaster was the whole family of Air. Noah Ripley, consisting of himself, wile, and four children. The accident occurred just at the head of San Francisco Bay, and 18 persons were killed instantly by the explosion. The steamer which formerly. plied between San Francisco and Sacramento had just got fairly un der way when the explosion occurred, blowing out the plate of her boiler, and scattering death and de struction among all on board. " • The bodies of 18 of the dead have been recover ed. Thirty or forty others were dreadfully scalded, so much so that not one among them is expected to live. Eight of those killed, and many of the scalded, were all residents of San Francisco. The steamer was on her return from a trip to Al viso. The passage of the bill by the House of Represent - at ices for the extension of the city front, had cans e4 the most intense excitement among the citizens of San Francisco, who being determined to defeat it if possible in the Senate, drew up n memorial to that body, numerously signed, protesting strenuous. ly against it. This when presented gave rise to a warm debate, when the vote being taken the bill was ri.f.cted. At the date of the steamer's departure, it had been fully ascertained that none of the passengers on board the steamer S. S. Lewis, were lost. The measures started at San Francisco for tlutt relief of the sufferers by the wr.-ck of the steamer Independence, had produced up to the I.lth, sub scriptions amounting to over $2,001 The small pox was prevailing and rapidly throughout San Francisco. Alany fatal carps are reported. The amount of gold dust shipped by the mail steamer to Panama is computed at over two mil lion of dollars. 0 The intelligenee from the mining regions is very satisfactory. The miners at Coluinbia, Sonora, Calaveras, Dry Creek, Yreka, and Shasta, are all actively and prof itably employed. The flood at Sacramento was subsiding: Among the Acts passed by the Legislature, watt a general bill for the incorporation of railroad com panies, and also extending the provisions of the-Fu gitive Slave Law for another year. Important from Mexico Inauguration of Santa Anna—The Sloo. Contract Confirmed—Tehuantepec Neutrality Treaty Rah; fied—Arbitrary Press Law, &c. NEW ORLEANS, May 12.—The steamer T'Ciaa arrived to-day from Vera Cruz. Gen. U , 1,,a, who is going to Prussia as Mexican Minister, came pas senger in her. Gen. Arista sailed from Vera Cruz on the 9th inst., in the British mail steamer Avon, for,St. Thomas. City of Mexico dates are to the 4th inst. The papers contain full particulars of the inaugnration of Santa Anna, and of the formation of a new Cabinet. The contract has been confirmed by the Govern ment, and tne treaty in regard to neutrality con cerning the Tehuantepec route also confirmed. Santa Anna had proclaimed a new arbitrary law with regard to the press, requiring all the papers to be licensed by government, and the proprietors to deposit large sums as securities, and copies of every article to government officers before publica tion, to abstain entirely from discussing political matters. Severe penalties attend the infringement of these rules, also as to publishing matter denbm inated subversive, seditious, libellous, immoral and calumnious. In consequence of this law several of the most prominent Mexican journals, including the Moni tor, has been discontinued. Fiurrr.—The St. Paul Pioneer, of the 28th ult., says:—About 2weeks sinoe a party of Chippewas killeda Sioux Indian near Sioux Village.. Crows band, in retaliation, formed a war party, went up to the St. Croix; and there killed a Chip. pewa and returned home. The Chippewas formed a large war party, and followed the Sioux down. About,lo o'clock this morning, a numbtr of the Chippewas who were prowling about in quest Of Sioux, saw our friend Jim and his two sisters en ter Forbes' store, took their stand. in front of the store, and fired in through the open door, badly wounding one of the women. Old Jim immediate. ly gave chase, but unfortunately, only two barrels of his revolver went off, and they without effect. A more daring feat was never perpetrated by any people than this attack of the Chippewas, in he city of St. Paul, in the most business part of town, and in broad daylight. We understand Gov. Ramsey immediately ordered out a company of U. S. Dragoons to go in pursuit of the offenders, that they may at once be brought to justice; the Dra goons being a little tardy in their movements, about sixty of our citiznes, under command of Lieut. Simp son, started alter the Indians; and as they had not returned at the hour of going to press, we are un able to give the result. BUFFALO, May 13 WISH7GTON, May 11.—The recently appointed Clerks in the Land Office, were sworn in to-day.— Among them was Mr. Edward H. Fuller, who was shot by Capt. Schaumburg.

I.—The stearnsh , ; has arrived here, with Havana dates to Bth inst. A disagreement had ,arisen between the authori ties, and Gen. Lavalette, the second in command, and another high officer, were to leave tor. Spain, disgusted with the state of affairs. The troops in the interior were also, it is said, showing symp toms 'of discontent. .The dates from Key West are to the ith instant. The weather was hot, and business generally was dull. THE DAUS SIDE OF THE PICTIME.—The Cali fornia correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, writing under date of March 15th, says: !, Notwithstanding the wealth of California, I think it is sate to affirm that there is not a state in the Federal Union which has proportionate to its population, so many poor and destitute. Many thou sands are here without friends, and constitutions in adequate for the exertions necessary to secure, the means of living, even if employment could ' , read ily procured. Thousands come down Irmn the mines alter an unsuccessful campaign, and in vain seek employment. Many resort to petty thefts to obtain bread. Suicides, on account of poverty, Sun ger and neglect, are getting quite frequent. It is difficult to subsist long without money or friends, where prices range so high. The people of this State are liberal and humane. Benevolent individ uals do all in their power to relieve suffering and distress, and our merchants are not backward to re spond to charitable appeals." .
