The Academy, with the view of inspiring and encour
aging a ttudo -for Natural History, for the last half
century, has admitted the.nubile to its 31 usomn, on two
days of the week, without cost. The Academy would
• wish to pursue the same course, but now find it neces
sary, for tbV preservation of if* collections, to limit the
multitude of visitor#. The excessive crowds not only
interfere with the prof r»*sa and comfort of the visitors,
Jjut cause much destruction of property, in the breaking
or glass and wood work : and the production of. dust is
no preat as seriously to damage thocollections. ,
the Academy baa authorized its curntore-b>mftke-aj;malL

further acoounth of scehcs and incidents at the'
Capitol: ..v 1 ’
/’ Steene About the Capitol Bnlldlnir.
I The scene about the Capitol .building'just'
after the sad? occurrences was one of terror.
Tlie first notice that those who were in the
building bad of the impending.evil was the
prenaonitofy rumblingastlie floor wassettlinfi.:
Then there came a fearful clash, accompanied
by a cry of human agony and terror which
emote the hearts, of all, who heard it. In a
moment tho " frightful situation was
realized. .The few who had been so
LarttinfettC. asb to be : into!'
•tbe windows shouted aloud for help
Ifor those who bad fallen; and; -called for lad
'dors. In a'short lime the bejls were tolling,
sM'lotbe,liook and ladder troefc being brought
,upon the spot, the ladders were put up to
I he windows, and: tho?,work of humanity. be
pan. The blinding dust within prevented any
one from seeing anything, and the^rushing of
persons within the,building and'the orieS: of
-thejKoimded-weroalbthat-could-ißrhearfh-r— —>
In the Bonne of Delegates. 1
Here was a. .scene that made o,ue’s heart
bieed.'As the dust cleared away a little a mass
of timbers and rubbish of evety description
was descried, and.the.reflection of 4,he mum--
bore of bnman beings crushed • beneath* its
weight, dead and dying, was sickening.. :Add
.to thh) the cries and groans of .those .who..were :
there, many in the agony of death,:and there
id a picture to make the stoutest hearts quail.-
Tbe entirt! Jia.ll was ilooded with the—ruins,
except the space under the gallery., Desks,,
chairs and tables were crushed completely,
showing the force of the falling wreck. The ,
work ot removing the debris was a difficult
one, but Wia undertaken by those present -
witli a will, and it was not long before the un
fortunate men were being rescued from their
nainful position. ~
’ Bringing Out the Dead and Wonnded.
This; scene defies even an attempt at de
senption. Tho doors and windows of the
Hall were thrown open, add within weresoon
collected-the. husy-rworlteib,' who r~mld-their
own shouts and-the agonizing groans of those
. they were seeking to rescue, were removing
. the timbers. As the wounded and dead were
reached, they were brought out and placed in
the Senate Chamber, or else under the trees in
the Square, where they were uttended by our r
city physicians and others who were on hand,
with such, appliances as could be obtained; '
As tbe men were brought out they
, were so covered with dust, that ’they
could;:-8carcely-be —recognized, and
for a wiiile tha, anxious inquiries of the by
(st,anders,. ‘.‘.Who is he?” could not be an
'swered: One' by one they were borne out—,
the dead and dying. ■ Here was“one‘ mangled
and silently enduring, another crying aloud,
with pain, while the still form of a third-told
too well that ifs..spiritT had :lied to-another
world: In one rnoment-thegray-hairs of ago
could be descriedjupofl; the bead of some dead
; one, whiloia the next; the tall, manly.iorm of
one who hh<f been cutbffin the full bloom of
life was being borne past. It seemed as if,
sickening horrors: would never cease, and:
ages seemed to pass in the performance of this
sad .duty..,. --- •. •■■•...
Tbe Theory or the Accident;
ih the conrt-room at the. time, of the fall we
.iearntbe.followijig.:as_tlietruetheoryoftue
The.large glrcjer which was under
the partition between the-clerk’s office and
, tlie court-room snapped in twain, and imme
diately afterwards the floor commenced to
cave. The support of the crowded gallery
having given away, the gallery parted from
the wall and fell over into the centre of the
court-room, crushing through the floor and
precipitating the mass of .human beings ami
rubbish into the hall below. :We examined
the girder and found that, it had broken off
.just in tbe centre. It was hewn timber,' and
just where it broke was a cut, as if the: work
man in hewing had; made a miss-lick and
driven his adze into the wood about a quarter
of an inch.
Horrible Uenth. ' t@n
The most terrible feature about this whole
•ifi'air is the heart-rending manner of death in
the majority of instances. Many of the dead,
when brought out, were found to be without
serious bodily injury,‘but. had evidently died
from suffocation: The mere contemplation of
such, a thing is sickening. Hard’, indeed, was
the fate of those who had escaped death from
the falling timber, in the end to- die from the
untold agonies of suffocation. :
Aw Old Relie Rone.
If we may be pardoned for anv considera
tion of loss other than that of human life, we
tvill mention,the smash-up of an old and much
honored relic of by-gone days, the Speaker’s
chair of the House ofe*Delegates, which was
formerly used in the House-of . Burgesses,
decorated with the royal arms of Great
JQrjJain—lt_waa—subsequently—moved—here
from Williamsburg, and has been used in thy
-HouseolhDelegates ever since.- It-was buri d
and broken in the ruins of yesterday. •
THE WUtniPEG WAR.
What it Will coat.
The Bed Biver expedition promises to he
no trifle in a financial point* of’ view. Mr.
Lowe, Chancellor of the English Exchequer,
estimates the actual cost:' of N the ,"Abyssinian
war at X 8,800,000 sterling—equal to some
*4s,Boo.ooo—and. it is not too much to say that
the contemplated Bed Biver affair will cast a
similar amount. To convey a,respectable force
from England or Canada; or both, through
the Wilds of British America, whether it be
by the water-courses north of Bake Superior,
or over the still more hazardous and uncertain
route by way of Hudson’s Bay and York .Fac
tory, will be found no inexpensive matter. It
is not strange, therefore, that doubts should
be expressed in ; well-informed uuarters, in
Canada itself, as to the ultimate departure of
any expedition against the insurgents at all.
It Is even intimated that Biel is to be “ con
ciliated ’ —whiohjjfSawr hired to leave the
territory, the same as poor Joe Howe was
hired to join the Confederate Ministry— and
that certain concessions'are to be made to the
Eomahi OatboUcTtfehcb-Canodian population,
like the two-million sop to Nova Scotia; and
then the whole matter, including the Scott
execution, is to be hushed up.—Stan:.
THE TARIFF BILE.
What the Coming Tote Will Be.
1 From tho Pittsburgh Gazette: 1
The hack of the tariff has been broken,'’
cries an exultant free trade contemporary at
'Chicago, as it records the vote in' the House
reducing the pig-iron tariff to S 5 per ton. No,w
it demands free coal, free wool, and the reduc
tion of other imposts. Its friends have gained
one point,-and think the whole battfle won!
Gusnmg, but deluded innoeence! They are
yet to realize that the issue is still between the
S 7 as reported by the ’ Committee, and tho SO
of the present law. The first skirmish on the
outposts will lead them Intoanother Bull Enn
.disaster,.if they are, not ...wise,., breaking, the
hack-hone of free, trade so effectually that it
will not stand erect again for a generation to
come. ' ■
I We have given these f<jlks too . much credit
for shrewdness, if they agree, with their
Chicago champion In reckoning this vote as
even an omen of victory. With'a full House,
the absentees, in their seats, and the yeas and
■ nays to go upon the record, a faint glimmer
ing of common sense would teach them that
the two majority in Committee of the Whole,
: for ass rate, with no reco/d of tho yeas and
nays, will be reversed by nearly twenty ma
jority for the item as reported from tho \Yaya
and Means. *

One' of the , largestjfiros that have ever oc

and the adjoining stores, raged on the Hill

fhe factory of the New York Watch Company, •

entire block between Tyler street and Rendle- i

that the fire would ravage the wooden houses,

city’s history. The strong, southwest- wind,

them far and wide. The roof of the factory
fell in thenceforward rapidly, and by five

wasfeared. The walls partly fell in, and were
partly pushed in to avert danger. It is not

The Borne' correspondent of an English
paper says.: 1 .'
A few days ago the Pope walked on the
Pincio, where he was warmly cheered by the
numerous foreign visitors. Father Giacomo
Margotti, feditor of the Unitd Uattolica, has
sent liis brother, Signor Stefano Margotti, to
the Pope with a large sum of money. The
Holy Father, in acknowledgment of this ser
viceVhas conferred- on the bearer the rank of
Commander. The reverend editor is also re
warded by being made an allowance of per
cent, on all the money he collects. While the
journalists are bringing in these needed sup
plies, the Holy Father is himself writing . ar
ticles in the Giornale tli Mama, and the day be
fore yesterday he contradicted' in that paper
the statements in cireulation'irespeeting the
Eastern bishops, and yesterday gave a general
denial to all the newspaper correspondence
abontthe Council. ,
Last week the Council sat almost every day,
and was wholly engaged on the second sec
tion of the scheme Be" Fide, hut the proceed-'
ings were Very flat,' no orator taking part in
the debate. Monsignor Strossmaver is ill, so
is unable to attend. lam informed the Oppo
sition will not goto a division on the dogma
of Infallibility,, which,, therefore, will be
adopted with.the unanimity required by the
canons of tbe ancient Councils. The 'light
with the Court of Borne will be made on the
question, of. the separation of Church and
btate. On this subject the Infalliblists, trained
W(lcrdifferent7)oliticalsystems,are-much. di
vided, manysharingthe views of Monsignor
Dupanlonp and Monsiguor Strossmayer, and
the Opposition confidently reckon on a
triumph.
Another of the Pope’s household has gone
mad. This new sufferer is Monsignor Casale,
Participant of the Privy Chamber, that is, one
of those officers who are in perpetual attend
ance on the Holy Father. Monsignor Canale
is a member of the I! email aristocracy, his
mother being the Marchioness Casale, and a
daughter of the .princely house of Barberini.'
The King and Queen,of Naples are anxious
to leave the scene of their sad bereavement,
but are waiting for the Archduke Louis of
Tuscany, brother df the Grand Duke Ferdi

with him to Germany.
Tlic “Beautiful Naow” Hama Swindler.
It turns out, after,all,that “ Major” Wm. A.
Sigourney is not dead. The New York Most
says of him:
The “ Major ” William A. Sigourney whose
obituary, notice appeared last Saturday in
-this paper, and was contradicted yesterday,
turns out to be a literary swindler of the worst*
sort. We know that he sent to the Messrs.
Harper last week, for one of their publica
tions, a manuscript poem entitled “ My Beau
tiful Eva,” which in their presence he
solemnly asserted that Jio composed in April
of this year. The editor of the publication
promptly handed him the March number of
tbe-Enghsh magazino entitled '.'ooii iroiyis/or
the I'oit ho, in which was the same poem, “Eva,”'
written by Francis Bennocb, with the only
difference, that, instead of Fannie the name
was Clara. After this attempt at fraud it
will naturally he , inferred that, the story
of his shooting himself on the Blooming
dale road, and of the letters found on his
§ arson,, from a “relative, Mrs. Lydia H.
igouruey,” was published by his own. pro
curement in some way or other. Gne tiling is
certain—that he is- a shameless cheat if ho be
in his senses, and if'not, his friends, if he has
,any,.Bhouldputhim.ina.lupatica.sylum.This
sort -of-fraud is-not very-uncommon. The
editor of the -l&tiekerbocker Magazine once pub
lished, as from a promising correspondent,one, 1 !
of Barry Corhwall’s'poems. Some time since
there \vor6 sent tojtho Evenina Most as original
compositions by a young girl in Pittsfield,
Mass., sevefal poems, ratlier skiinilly selected
from authors not much known. -The' other
day an Englishman brought to this office what
he calledapoem of his own, and offered; it for;
publication. On looking at it wo saw that it
was Charlotte - SffSlth’s' “ Ode to theToppy.”
He professed to have written Ht a good wlula '
since, but. it happened that Charlotte Smith
wrote it before he was horn.

[ Washington Correspondence of tbe N. Y. World. J
The quention of fifty years , standing, as to
whether tho American or Canadian interpreta
tion of the law of nations regarding the right
of a country, to jurisdiction over contiguous-
Hca waters, seems at last to be in a fair way of
settlement, so far as the issue between this
government aud that of Canada is concerned.
The xli-fcolihg engendored to wards the United
.States in the Canadian.mind'by the rescinding,
of* he reciprocity treaty and other causes took
shape some time since ip thepassage of a law by,
the. New Dominion government prohibiting
American fishermen from plying their voca
tion'Wnbin three fiautfcal muesofthe sea-coast,
and refnsing to issue further licenses to fish
within that distance. Now the point at issue is, ,:
by what rule is the line of demarkation to be
established. ,The Canadian government, on
the one hand, insist that itshall be drawn from
headland to headland, irrespective of the watS
ttirface involved. Tne.Umtcd States govern
ment claim that such an interpretation of the
.law wonid effectually break :up our fisheries
on the banks, and maintain that'the line
should, follow the indentations of the
coast. While, however, both parties have
expressed, these ■ opposite views, neither
has attempted .to _cafry .them_.into prac
tical ...pftgct- until recently, when the New
Dominion Government ordered eight armed
boats to thfe banks for the purpose of enforcing
the law". "The inference has naturally obtained
that the Canadian interpretation of the law is
to he held in view by the gunboat captains,
and, with a view ta the protecting of our own
interests, the United States gunboat Frolic
has been ordered to those waters to see that
the enforcement of the law by the Canadian ■
. authorities be not, done-tli’ an oppressive
manner. Suchi in efi'eci. were the instructions
of the commander of .-the Frolic.
,It would be hardly safe, perhaps, "
to predict a war with. Canada, in
the event of her attempting to enforce her
views on the fishery question. Secretary
Fish remarked to-day, in conversation on the
subject, that-this government had no sorioos
fi-ars of troiihle growing out of it, simply be
cause it looked on-the movement as aaorfc of
.splenetic outburst which would pass- away .
without any real harm attaching to it.. Of the '
eight war .vessels ordered to the fish
ing grounds . but two belonged to the
mother country, and he thought "that
they were sent there -rather with a
view to watching the others and keeping'
tbemstraight than to aid itt the execution of:
.tl)e__ ijsbi.Dg_,Ja.ws, . ..“..Well,” he . further..re--
'marked, “ while there is little probability of
■ trouble in that quarter, there is a possibility of!
and weshall carefully keep our interests in j
vie w.” It is; in fact, understood that the: de
termination has been positively arrived at by
the Administration to promptly meet in asimi-
Jar.spirit any demonstration by-the Domiuion 5
-towardadhe enforcement- of-its!views-ule ef

The Decent Duel In- New ’ Orleans,
[From thrj N(i\v Orloanß Times, April Hi: J 1
-A hostile meeting took place yesterday,- at
a lew minutes before 12 i M., .betw.een .Messrs.;
Louis Lalaurie and Lucien Debuvs. growing,
out of a preceding disagreement at the Opera
.on Thursday-night.- The weapons-arranged-,
lor-the-Combat- were— coliehemarda, with
Messrsf Placide Canotyje and” Manuel' Biased
aS the seconds of Mr. Lalaurie, and with Ber- :
nard Avegno and Col. Dnmonteil as the wit
nesses of Mr.- Dcbuys. The ground selected.
was about 200 yards from the Metairie Course,
and in consequence of . the prompt arrival of
the principals, the' affair took place a little
before the time appointed. Once placed
upon the ground, they lost but little time in
parade or preliminary sparring, and, in fact, 1
the aftairrwas terminated, in abouteight or
nine seconds after its commencement. At
that time Mr.-Lalaurie had made a faint
scratch with his sword upon .the breast, and
bis sword bad passed between the liesh and
clothing of his antagonist upon the left side.
Before, however, he could ,recover himself
Deliuys made a lunge with his sword, which
wounded Lalaurie seriously in the breast, be
tween tbe shoulder and the collar-bone, and
which penetrated to tbe lungs. Rumors in •
the eyeningwerc freely circulated to the effect
that Lalaurie was bleeding internally, but the
statements of bis physicians, Drs. Traudeau
and Saure, were that tho wound was not mor

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONOPOLY.
Wbftt One of Its Victims Thinks of It.
The Washington Chronicle (Forney’s paper)
is one of the victims'of the New York News
Monopoly; and this is what it thinks of that
miserably inefficient organization:
A city contemporary intimates that the Asso
ciated Press would do well to employ an agent

tirely concurJinlthisLTiew of. tbecase. _AJfew_
days since a convention; composed of repre
sentatives from the three wings of the Bepnb
li can party of Virginia, met at Eichmond and
transacted business of interest and importance.
The. proceedings of this convention wore of
general interest, and every newspaper served
by Associated Press should have been fur
nished with a comprehensive ; abstract. As it
was, however, they did not receive a line, or
even a word, m reference to the convention.
There is. another agent of the Association
located in a large city between Washington
and New York who might be looked after
with advantage.' In this age of general in
telligence ana rapid communication the news
papers cannot afford to be treated shabbily by
those whose dujyitis to furnish them with the
latest news.
THOSE TWENTY FENIANS.
Fenian Frieze over the Border.
The Tribune says: ■
""" Now let Canada shake to its centre—even
to its Head-Centre. Twenty Fenians, clad in
uniform of Irish frieze, with knapsacks on
their backs, and—if we may be allowed a
peasant. stretch of imagination—with-the
very Sunburst on their countenances, have
been seen passing- through Boston, North.
Excelsior! Twenty Fonians, more or less,
with pickaxes on their shoulders, have been
discovered in the neighborhood of the
border. For whom do they dig a pit,
and who is to fall into it? But,
greater terrors are mstore-for those heroes of,
alarm, those veterans of panic, the Canadian
volunteers. Powder has been concealed in
spots along the line—men and arms are lying,
in wait for an invasion in May. The Guy
Fawkes of this neVGunpowder Plot is surely
a Fenian in frieze, with a knapsack on his
hack. Excelsior! Only we beg our Fenian
brethren not to destroy the boundary lino dr
act the St. Lawrence on lire. If they invade
Canada they make war on the United States,
and then—why then, wo shall have to lock
them up. .

THE PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL.;
Tho “ Tribune ”an the Dispute.
The N. Y. Tribune nays:
If the managers of the Pennsylvania Hos- ’
pital, at their meeting on Monday next, rO-i
solve to deny to the lady students of tho Fe
male Medical School admittance to>the clini
cal lectures, they will do as foolish and as •
futile a thing as tho managers of that Academy
ot Music in tho same city did in refusing to
permit colored citizens to rejoice, therein-
And, moreover, they will make themselves
equally rcdiculous. It was found that there
were other halls in Philadelphia’ in which
Freedom could 'rejojce, when tho Academy
was barred, and there are other hospitals in
which medical knowledge can he attained by *
the ladies. We ,regret that the managers of
the Hospital should have deemed it necessary
to submit the question ’of admitting, women
stndents to the clinics' to the meeting of- con
tributors. The action was demanded only by
the male students who lately attacked tho
ladies in a disgraceful manner, and a few
members of the medical fraternity who have
endeavored to influence public opinion
unfavorably to tho womon-studeuts
by anonymous publications full of;
gross personal abuse of tho present man-,
agers. The concession of leaving the question 1
vote of the contributors ought never to?
have ; been made. "There is little to fear, how-i -
ever, for.the result. Seionce can no. more be
monopolized by one sex than freedom by one r
color. We haven’t a doubt that tho Fonrisyl-'
vania Hospital contributors will be wis& than-’
the Philadelphia Academy stockholders, bud !
decide that among the inalienable rights of'
women is that of education as thorough" aniib
comprehensive as they may be wilfing toau-i
quire.
