Houses this week with petitions, praying that Congress will resume consideration of the Tariff bill, os passed by ihe Senate, which failed in the House March, 1867, and enact it into a law at tbe earliest practicable moment. The signers to these petitions represent a large pro portion of the industrial interests of your city and State: both employers odd employed. Among the petitions presented by Hon. Chan. O'Neill were those of Edward W. Miller, Edward Goshill & Co., and ninety-three othprs, book binders in Philadelphia, representing; that the customs duties, . which were sufficient to invite the investment of capital and labor in manufactures, have become inadequate, in Sect of a continued decline in gold, and that of the distress Uow.prevalent and increas ing daily would be relieved by the passage of the tariff bill referred to above, which failed in tbe House last session for want of time to pass it. Mr. O’Neill also presented the petition Of Charles. Guenther and forty-two others, litho graphers of Philadelphia, of similar import, and also the memorial of Wolfe & Co., Hampshire Paper Company, W. A. Wanhopp, Thomas C. Pereival, William Shealds, George C. Ewing, Charles C.Spenccr, and ninety-seven other manu facturing ,firms and companies of Philadelphia, complaining of the depression Of industry caused by want of efficient protection to the labor of the country. „ Hon. Samuel J. Randall also presented the pe tition of Henry B. Aehmead, 8. C. Collins, W. Harvey Miller, King & Baird, and one hundred and twenty-four others, printers, of Philadel phia, representing that the productive interests of the country are suffering, and its industry paralyzed for want of efficient protection against the cheaper labor and capital of foreign coun tries. Also, the petition of seventy-six employes of Sberman & Co., printers, and Moore & Simp son, D. Rodney King, Lewis 8. Moore and others, business men of Philadelphia, to the same effect Also, a memorial of Shields & Brother, 6. W. Hnntzinger, Joints A. Needles, Horace EL Soule, Samuel Kerns, W. E. S. Baker, and ninety-one otbers, manufacturers, coal miners, shippers and business men, ot Philadelphia, complaining of the paralysis of productive industry. The "Hon. Daniel J. Monell, representing the Seventeenth District of Pennsylvania, has also, within a few days presented numerous petitions, from the fanners, iron manufacturers and manufacturing firms of his district, asking for such increase of protective duties as will revive manufactures and restore prosperity to the country. The iron manufacturers of Hunting don .county, signing one of these petitions, em ploy, when in tall operation, -100 workmen, but dow employ only 137, owing to the stagnation of trade. Reynold & Moorhead, iron manufac turers at Clarion, employ, when in full operation, 280 workmen, but have how only 160 at work. Tbe petition of 23 manufacturing companies and linns of Blair county, Pa., presented by Mr. Morrell, employing, when in foil operation, 1,536 1 workmen, but now have only 351 at work. These statements, coming from so many re spectable firms, and from such an extended dis trict of country, show the 'existence of wide spread stagnation in business in your State, which it ishoped' the present Congress will take the proper means to remedy, by passing the tariff bill of last year. The parties interested, how ever, should have commenced earlier in the sea son to bring their grievances to the attention of Congress, but even with the pressure of business dow crowding upon the last hours of the session, there will be a determined effort mode by Mr. Morrell, Chairman of the Committee on|Mannl'ac lures, and his colleagues, to bring about a revi sion of the tariff, and if they dorft succeed, it wili not be for want of energy and perseverance. Po litical considerations demand that this measure should not be neglected at this session, if the Re publicans expect to carry tho State next fall. EXTENSION OF HOE’S PKINTING PRESS PATENT. Col. R. M. Roe, of New York, is here to urge upon Congress the extension of his patent for “Hoe’s Last Fast Press,” for seven or ten years longer. It has been extended previously through the Patent Office, but a further extension cannot be made without ah act of Congress. He has a large amount of evidence in support of his claim, from whk%it appears that during the first fourteen years he received little or no benefit Irom bis invention, as his presses did not come in to'general use for years after their introduc tion. and costing such large sums of money, few printing houses or newspaper establishments could afford to purchase them. THE THROUGH LINE ARRANGEMENT TO NEW YORK. All the arrangements have been completed be tween the officers of the various railroad com panies between here and New York, and William Prescott Smith, who has been appointed general Superintendent of the through line, and vested with plenary powers, will assume the duties of his position on the Ist of July, witij his offlee in Washington. Among the reforms Mr. Smith proposes to inaugurate is a reduction in the iehedule time and lower fare between the two citleß named and intermediate points. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Among the distinguished visitors at the White House to-day were Senator Fessenden and Mrs. Cobb, of pardon-brokerage celebrity. This is the first visit Fessenden has paid Johnson since the close of the impeachment trial. Mrs. Cobb is a periodical visitor. She holds a confidential posi tion in the Treasury Department It is Burmlsed that Fessenden’s object was to keep Johnson ‘•all right” in regard to Secretory McCulloch, as tbe National Intelligencer for the last week has been demanding McCulloch’ssammary removal. Fessenden is a devoted friend'd!' McCnUoch.'and at'this time has peculiar claims upon the Presi dent. Senator Ross, too, one of the “immortal ■seven,’’ has become a regular visltorlat the White House within a week past, and a few days ago an assessor'of internal revenue m Kansas was appointed at his request. He is now understood to be urging the. nomination of Pony Fuller, of Kansas, as Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Susquehanna. FROM NEW YORK.

Explosion of a Steam Fire Engine Lifit of the Killed and Wounded [From to-day 1 * Now Y ork Herald.] At a few minutes post 9 o’clocklast evening the fire bells sounded on alarm of Are near thocorner of Canal street atid the Bowery. Engine No. 9 was promptly on tho ground, When ft was dls-' covered that the premises No.-53 Bowerytvere on Are. ' The'engine shortly got to’ work. and tho water bad been turned on. the: burning, premises but a Short time when a loud explosion was heard and the street became almost instantly filled with steam. This was just the time that a number of people were coming ont of the Bowery Theatre,' and from the fact that a large concourse of people Were seen running from there it was thought at first it was in that building the exploalontook place. Too soon, however, the dreadful nature of the accident was' ascertained. The groans of the dying and man gled forms that lay stretched upon .the sidewalk; in the street, the shrieks of frightened women hurrying across and down the thoroughfare, run ic g they knew hot where, in Wild excitement; the confusion and turfflcil incident upon occasions of great excitement; the. unmanageable prancing of ihc horses attached to the street railroad cars—all helped to render the scene one of most indescri bable confusion. . But when this; in a measure, subsided, and an examination of the cause for alt this excitement was made, a scene of .most sickening horror was revealed. From what can be learned of one who was con venient to the theatre at about the hour stated, it is ascertained that Engine No. 9 was standing almost opposite to the pit entrance. It had a full head of steam on at the time,and was playing on the fire at No. 53 Bowery. As Is usual la such cases, a large number were collected I round the engine, nearly all boys; com- I poEed- principally of those poor little urchins I that most do congregate round the theatre at I night. Ail of a sudden a loud explosion was htard, a volume of steam spread over the streets, I a moment’s silence, and then followed a I scene most sickening In its details. It was then discovered that the boiler of the engine had ex ploded. Upon the ground lay the prostrate I Dodies of over thirty people, dome, however, I wi re more scared than injured, and some arose I and mingled in the crowd. Close by where the I eDglne stood lay four mangled corpses, mutilated |in the most fearful manner. Tho brains of one I «trc dashed ont on the sidewalk, the entrails of 1 another protruded and the face was dreadfully I disfigured,'another had both his legs broken and I was badly scalded, while another, a poor. little. bootblack, was run over. , , „ I Many of the wonnded were Injured badly, nearly all had broken limbs, and it is feared that 1 the majority of them have sustained internal In- I juries which may prove fatal. 1 A short time after the accident took place, a I platoon of policemen from the Sixth precinct I was at the scene of the disaster, and succeeded in ■ beeping back the crowd that by this I time Tiad swelled to • thousands. Another I body of men from the Tenth 1 precinct shortly after arrived, and there took I charge of the dead and brought them to the sta -1 doc-house in Ludlow street, near Grand. As the I bodies lay there in one of the-back rooms,the dim I light of a single gas jet shedding its rays upon I their ghastly features, the anxious and hmried I glances of friends who came to seek among the | dead some missing one, and as they left thanked I their God that there still was hope, as they failed j to recognize among the stiff, cold forms those I they sought, the scene was sad in tho extreme. I In the Sixth precinct station-house, where a I number of the wonnded were brought previous I to being conveyed to the hospital, the number of I people who assembled there to moke inquiries after those they thought were injured by the dreadful explosion was very great. As soon as I they tound they were sent- to the City Hospital I thither they bent their steps in anxiety and trembling to ascertain, perhaps, the worst anticl- I pations their anxieties had conjured up. The killed were brought to the Tenth precinct I station house. Up to a late hour last night their 1 names were not ascertained. No. I—About twentv years of age, dressed in black clothes, I high cheek bones, light hair, abd about the I average height; brains dashed out. No. 2—A I bootblack, about fourteen years of age; black ' I coat and pants. Internalinjuries and legs broken. 1 I No. B—About twenty-one years of age; high fore- I head light hair; was dressed in dark clothes. Had ; I an arm broken and both legs,besides internal mjn nes. No. 4—About twenty years of age. Was 1 I dressed in dark clothes and had on a checkered ; I shirt. Badly mutilated about the body, and face ; I dreadfully disfigured. During the night these 1 I bodies were conveyed to the Morgue. At half ' I past twelve o'clock last night a boy about fifteen ’ I i ears of age, whose name could not be ascer tained, died at the City Hospital from the inter , I nal injuries he sustained. I THE INJURED. Patrick W. Hand, engineer of steamer, badly scalded ana bruised about the body; John Con way, fireman; Edward Roach, fireman, scalded and arm broke; John Clarrisson, injured by the shock and badly scalded about the face; Coins Lighlbody; Lyon Vetter; John McGuire, badly scolded and thigh broke, resideaat 75 Mottstreet; Frank Clarke, only slightly hurt; Jas. Sullivan; Louis Storms, bad scald in the lower extremities; Jas. Macken, scalded and badly bruised in the oody; Thomas Keating; Theodore Bates, com pound fracture of both bones left leg, lives at 096 Grand street; Stephen Wooldridge; Frederick Roscol, 185 Clinton street, arm broke; James Broderick, scalded, and leg broke; Frank Evers, ih)“U broke, lives at 15 Bowery; Thomas Cronin scalded, lives at 17 Doyer street; Thomas Foley, scalded and bruised; Robert Scholer; James La den, aged 13 years; Thomas O’Donnell, aged 17. The explosion is supposed to have resulted from a lack of water in the boiler, the iron plates becoming over-heated, and the cold water being suddenly put in generated a species of gas as weU as steam, thereby'causing the explosion, which blew the boiler into fragments, many of which were cast a long distance from where the engine stood. An inquest will be held on the bodies by the. Coroner to-day, and inquiries as to the cause of the explosion will be made. The fire men succeeded in confining the fire to the fourth story. The loss of Mr. Nuetman, who oc cupied the fourth floor, is estimated at about $500; partly insured. The fifth floor is occupied by Joseph Ernest, hat manufacturer, whose slock was damaged by water and smoke to the extent of $300; insured for $l,OOO in the St. Mark’s In surance Company. The second and third stories are unoccupied. The first floor is occupied by Jacob Ellis as a restaurant. ■ His 6tock was da maged by water about $150; insured for $3,000. | The building is owned by the Astor estate, and is I damaged about $500; insured. THE POULARD CASE. THo Examination at the Brooklyn Po lice court Continued!— Extraordinary Scenes. ■ [From to-daj’a New York World.] The case of Mrs. Madelaine E. A. Pollard against Mrs. and Miss. Crotty, for assault, was appointed to bo hoard before Justice Cornwell, in the Brooklyn City Hall Police Court, at eleven o’clock yesterday morning. Previous to that hour Mr. Pollard appeared in the Court and asked the -magistrate.to.recclve a complaint which ho had to make against his wife. Ho said ha had been about to do so on the previous day, whim he was arrested for an assault upon his wife, alleged tp bo committed some weeks, ago. The Justice re ceived Mr. Pollard’s complaint, to the effect; that his wife had : threatened, on the 15th of-June, or thereabout, to shoot, or kill him; and he asked that] the '..should-be put under bonds to keep the * At 11 o’clock the case, against Mrs. and-Miss Crotty was taken up. Judge Dunne appeared OUR WHOJjE country. for the defendants; Mrs. Pollard was without counsel. Mrs. Pollard was directed to take the stand. Bbc did so, and asked permission to make a statement beforo she took tbo oatb, abont a paragraph that - appeared in a Brooklyn paper, dbc had, she said, a keen sense of the ridiculous; and must “say, In regard to Mrs. Crotty, that while under her footT the atmosphere from her polled undergarments Wfs such that she was .very willing i to leave her hat there rather than her bead. Mrs. Pollard was proceeding in this style, when the Justice, with some difficulty, brought her to order. -.-'x The oath was then administered to her; and as she kissed the book she said, melodramatically, “So help me Almighty God ; and may the curse of God rest upon me If what I am about to say is not .the truth, the whole truth, and nothing nut ihotruth; ghothengavethefbUowingenaence:, My present residence is 247 East Thirteenth streeu l saw the defendants for the drat time in my life at their residence, on the day of the as-; sanlt (June 16th), between 12 and 2 o'clock. The Justic©—Well, what occurred ?: . < Mrs. P.—Shall! tell it In my own way? .If yon would allow me to go back into my past life— The Justice informed her she must confine her-' self to the'charge. , , i Mrsj P.' (resuming)—l met my' husband by accident that day, at 'his publishing house, and asked him where he was stopping; he said' I will not tell jy on ;*T said that was a queer answer if it was a resectable place; he still refused to tell mo; 1 said I will follow Jrbn and find out;'. Mr. Dunno baked the witness to come to what took place at Mrs. Crotty’s house. Mire. P.—l went there with my husband, and we went up stairs into a small hall bedroom, and, fromthq appearance of that room, 1 would hot Imselho that a decent person would live In It, Mr. Dunne (impatiently)—Well, we don't want that gone into. , , , . - • The Justice—We have been very Indulgent, to you; Yourself and husband seem to be very anxious to make statements about your own af fairs. We intend to confine ourselves to the as eault. Mrs. P. (resuming)—l was quite sure that that, was not where mv husband slept; I knocked at the door of the adjoining room and saw a lady and gentleman there; I inquired for the lady of the house, and was told she was in the parlor; X went down to the parlor with my husband; sit ting by the piano was a lady, not, I thlnk,onb of these present (the defendants); I asked for the lady of the house, and this lady (Miss Crotty) was sent in;l said to her, “Madam,will yon, please tell me how long my husband haß been boarding In this house?” She threw herself into a chair, and Said: “yon , ask mein a polite manner, " and' I will tell you;’’ I said it was very strange that a wife mustosk a woman in a respectful manner who had kept her hus band three weeks concealed from her; she replied, “this is a respectable house,” and I answered, “Madam, your manner evidently denotes it;” she said, “get out of this house, get out of this as quick as you can, what do you mean?” my hus band, who was walking up and down the floor in an excited manner, then put his hand oh the lady’s shoulder, and said t 9 her, “go and get a police officer, I am tired of this trou ble;” 1 said to my husband, “come, let us go,” and he started out ahead of me; as 1 was about going out of the door, this lady (Miss Crotty) raised her foot and kicked me in my side, and attempted with that to shut the door in my face; my husband was then standing on the stoop; I pushed back the door;, she jerked me back and 1 fell upon the floor in the hall; while in that position she beat me, kicked me, caught hold of my hair, and jerked my earrings off, and pulled my hat off my head; I screamed to mv husband to come to me, but he would' not; my screams brought another per son Into the room, an old lady; I do not recog nize whether this lady (Mrs. Crotty) is that person or not; I was told by nay husband that ibe women were Mrs. and Miss Crotty; they both took hold of me, and this lady (Miss Crotty) said, get out of my house you -—; I screamed murder, at the top of my voice, and ran down . the street; my husband at my first outcry had run down to the comer 6f the street. When he was shot by young Mr. Noyes; I threw myself between them to protect him. The Justice directed the witness, who was be coming apparently affected, to confine herself to the case. Mrs. P.—l ran down the street and overtook my husband, and insisted that ho should come with me. He said: “I told you that was a bad woman before I took you there, and it serves you right for going to such a place.” The Justice—Did you give any other provoca tion than what you have stated there ? Was ihere any undue excitement on your part, or did you use any violent expressions that would justify this conduct? - Mrs. P.—No, sir, beyond the slur that I doubt less cast upon the lady’s fair fame in saying that it was strange I should bo asked to speak in a polite manner to a woman who had kept my hus band three weeks; that provecation I believe any pure wife that loves her husband would give. The witness being cross-examined by Mr. Dunne, recognized a parcel shown her as being hers. Being closely questioned as to the circum stances of the assault she adhered In the main to her first statement. Being asked If she had any ''witnesses, she said she had not, that it was not necessary. Bhe would like, she said, to employ a lawyer If there was one in court. The Justice asked Wm. C. DeWitt, who hap pened to be in court,'to undertake Mfs. Pollards case and he retired with her for consultation. On ihtir return to court she was questioned about Mrs. Crotty. She said she could not swear to her identity with the old lady who assaulted her, but io the best of her knowledge and belief she was the safne person. Mr. Pollard was then sworn for the defence, and was asked to state what occurred on the 16th of June. Ho said: I entered the house (Mrs. Crotty’s) with my wife for the purpose of letting bermakean inquisitorial visit—to let her see where I lodged and slept. I took her to my lodg ing-room and said, “You see in what circum stances of poverty I live." Mr. Dewitt objected to this as irrelevant. Ths Justice said that Mrs. Pollard had been allowed to make extraneous statements, and Mr. Pollard should not be too strictly restrained. Mr. Pollard (resumed)—She shut me up in the room by placing her back against the door; X said “for God’s sake let me out;” she said in a very excited tone, “yon Bhall not go out till I have seen the lady of the house;” I offered to go down and bring her np, but said “for God’s sake, for my sake, for your own Bake, be do cent in addressing her;” I made the condition, that 6he should do so, and beforo I wonld consent to go down for her; my wifo went into the adjoining room occupied by one of the boarders and asked for the lady of the house; she was directed down stairs; she went down and preceded mo into the parlor; the sister ol Miss Crotty, the defendant, was sitting there; I introduced my wife and Miss Crotty bowed; my wife asked very abruptly if she was the lady of tho house; she said no, but offered to call her, and went down stairs; Miss Crotty, tho defend ant, appeared in the parlor; I Introduced my wife, and said with embarrassment that my wife had not been with me for some time and was dis posed to ask some questions, and I asked Miss Crotty for my sake to,respond to them freely and fully; Miss Crotty bowed assent: my wife asked her how long I had been 1h the house. , Mr. Dunne—ln what tone of voice ? Mr. P—l must say that.my wife's, manner was very overbearing and insolent, her eyes .flaring ! and her face coloring, and she evidently playing the part of an inquisitor. . ■• . ~r .. • , i Mrs. P. here exclaimed—“ Mr. Pollard! Oh, shame,-whero-ia thy blnah?' My own husband! and then.burst Into tears. Mr. P: remarked Jhat he was “used to that” •. . Examination resumed—Misß Crotty said “about three weeks. Has not your husband informed you?” , My wife asked “ when did ho arrive?’ Miss Crotty seemed to bo consulting her memory, and I Interposed to remind her that it was on a Monday. My wife broke out with—“ What women arein this house? Mias Crotty replied, excitedly;When you asked me oucstlons in a ; respectful manner I replied to yon'as to a lady, but - now leave this house,” and- stamped - her foot with emphasis. My wife at the time was standing at the piano and Miss Crotty op posite her, having risen from her chair. I feared a scene, and, tonching Miss Crotty on the arm. said: “1 want no scene Or scandal here; yon hod better send for’a policeman.” I-didnot want to have my wife arrested, but thought the presence of a policeman might awe her. Miss Crotty mndo no reply.
