One --of these gentlemen who is in a store in Chatham street, not long -sine was called to show to a very .r . .fastidious and fashionable lady, who " dropped in - going to StewarSa " to see sobie rich silk cloaking. Every article of the kind was exposed ;o her view—the whole store was ransacked—nothing Suited.

A few copies of the weekly paper of Satur day, containing Mr. Marcy , • Letter, are undisposed of, and may be had at the ci oaten L • The Right oil Petition. Much has been said, oflite, on this subject; much has been written ;an very much, we think, that would have been better left unsaid' and unwrit ten : for it is better that t e whole race of man should remain in profound ignorance, respecting political doctrines, than that liaise ideas should pre vaili :--especially under a g ' vernment like ours, in which all power is inherent i , and derived/immedi ately from the People. Eac State composing our confederacy is sovereign wi&in its own borders, in all matters except those the control of which it re linquishes on becoming a member of the Union : rind these arc plainly and unequi vocally defined—these come at once within the rane of powers conferred upon the general government, for the more effectual promotion of the welfare of the whole. The Pen rile are themselves the sot , eigns. To them only can appeal be justly made, fitr the redress of any grievance, or wrong ibilicte upon any portion of the body politic. Obedience to the will of the ma. jority is the basis upon whi h all our institutions rest; and therefore, it is only by appeals to the t i a community that any matter, .steemedwrong, can be properly redressed. Any law enacted recogni zing a contrary doctrine is, irtually, a nullity; and all those who teach the eon ry, are ignorant of the nature and powers of the g vernment under which they live ; or would engraft pon our popular insti tutions matter foreign to thei character. The People of each State Representatives, not to pl selves—not in any way to II . themselves--not to confer von them any special privileges ;—but solely with 6 view to reflect their will, to act for them, to do ivhat they, alone, have the right to do; but which they believe can be more advantageously done, than'if they should meet themselves, in their severa l) counties, or at their State Capital, to tip. This i. the tine idea in rela tion to our State Legislature : and, therefore, any and every matter of State po icy, which the People of a State shall deem proper o be enacted for their own good, ;and no other) they have a right to do,— provided it conflicts not with he powers of the gen eral government, relinquished by the People of the State. The same idea prevails in tie organization of our ei.neral government. Its powlers are all clearly de- Lacd. No one of them can be voluntarily relin quished ar held in abeyance; and no power not ex pressly granted, or nut necessarily required to be exercised in carrying out those expressly granted, can at any time be propeEiy exercised : for any such exercise of power is an interf l rence with the rights of the Stater?, that are sover ign except as to the powers relinquished. The R preaentatives in the general Congress, and the Sen tors from the respect ive States, have neither of Mom, any rights neces sarily conferred upon them, which place them above, or render them superior to, an other citizens of the •State, whose agents and amt assadors they are:.— They are chosen, each with re orenca to the general welfare of the whole—or at le i st of the majority of the whole—People of the U Red . States ; and as guardians of the rights, and tl e sovereignty of the States, whose citizens they are What then, with us, is in fact this flight "of Peti tion,” of which we have heard so much; that has been the theme of so many eloquent outbursts; that has been so ably contended fur,lby certain persons in our country; and which has lien so frequently re ferred to, (in connection with the British Govern meny as one of the , most, glo ions privileges of a British subject? This right has been referred. to, / 0 country.: and we have been tol , in apparent seri ousness that there is less of Mier y in our happy coun try, than the oppressed millions f England, Ireland, and Scotland now enjoy. We ook upon this right of petition, as thus pathetic Ily spoken of as no very eloquently, as being in rest danger in our right at all! We regard our countrymen—every citizen of the United States—a and good sense, under t e supreme Judge of the sovereign,—the l i kuperior. 7 --the highest authorit y — to whose intelli gencethe Universe, is to be, properly addressed every ap i peal,'whether in relation to the redress of grievan ces, the - rectification of errors, r the reform of abu ses, that may be.perceived to h , ve entered into the operation of laws already made, or flowing from sources unauthorized by law. We quote the following fromjthe National E, a, at the City of Washington, in ord r to correct what we look upon as a groat error, on rte part of those who sustain such views as k are emboed in.the article:— Right of petition in the lOW Partiament.The right of Petition in the British house of Coniinons is more carefully guarded thah in our American Senate In this body, petitions fouching the subject of slavery in the District of Cloiumbia; a subject clearly within the legislative powers of Congress; are virtually denied a hearing. .trhe question of re. ception is raised, and this quest o n is laid upon the table, so that the petitions are iot really received bk-the Senate.

This was a prayer for the abolition of a fundamental. partof the'Britibh Con ati tu Lion . Sir It.lnglis roe to a poi* of Ordir. He-object ed to the reception of the petition. M. Home rose to order. No ember, be said, could, under the rules Of the House, Witt to a petition , being brought up. And the Speaker concurred. Sir It. Inglis replied, contending that no individual had a right to petition for the abolition of the House of Lords. Sir G. Grey was in favor of receiving it. Sir J. Graham thought that it ought not to be eta-it:tined. Mr. Hume said the House had nothing to do with the . opinions of petitions, and he thought oven petitions against the Monarchy or for a Republic ought to be received. After some further conversation, Sir It. H. Inglis said, he was rejoiced to hear that the House was unanimous against the prajer of the petition, and he would now withdraw his of to its re ception. So much for the right of petition in the British Parliament. To boast of the sacredness of the right of petition in England, and thus virtually institute a comparison between the corruptions of that most corrupt mon archy and our government, requires, in our view, an obtuseness of intellect, or a passion for monarchy, far exceeding that which characterises men of ordi nary intelligence, who have bestowed any attention upon the nature of the two governments. It may be that the right of petition isms! sacredly guarded, not only by the British House of Commons, but also by the Lords called "by the grace of God" to aid in governing British subjects. It is highly probable thatit is equally well guarded by the Queen her self. In addition to the Laws in existence for pro tecting this right of British subjects, there is at least a sufficient number of bayonets and ball cartridges to "guard" any oftheir " rights," in the manner deemed most effectual:y by their_Scratrrign, Lords, and Commons. But it should not be forgotten that a certain num ber of British subjects may pray to their Lords and masters to grant whatever these lords and masters choose to let them pray for. They dare not, however, do any thing beyond what they are permitted tc do; for this would at once be constituted treason, and transportation, or the gallows, or the bullet of the hired soldier, would settle the matter. Neither should it be forgotten, that those in our country, (for whom such especial sympathy has been niani listed by the party which supports the Era,; who are compelled.to abide the win of their matters, have the privilege accorded to them of asking any thing, in a respectful manner; and their masters ex ercise the potter to comply, or not, with their re quest. We have never known these, however, to forbid the asking of a petition. When the time shall arrive that American freemen shall occupy the same p•rsition that is now occupied by British sub jects, or by slaves in the south; then it will be very proper to draw a comparison between the state of freedom enjoyed by a citizen of the United States, and any such government as that which extends its fostering aid to presses in this country, that labor in the same field with the Era. But as our government is not constituted like that of England: as the People themselves are here the sovereigns: as they can, in their state capacity, regulate all their internal affairs, according to their own will: as each State has the exclusive power to regulate its own affairs, indepen• dently of the general government, and of the other States: as no State has the right to interfeie with the internal affairs of any other State: and as the repre sentatives and senators in Congress have no power to legislate in any case, except on matters rp:aung to, or connected with, the affairs of the whole coon try, that have been relinquished to it by each of the States: it is a very questionable policy, to call it by I no worse name, to assert that tie people of this coun try are in danger of losing their liberties; because they have not some higher power in the country who may hear their prayer, aril,l answer them; if it pleaer! j English Enthusiasm We are permitted to copy a few passages of much spirit and eloquence, from a letter which Abby , Hutchinson has just received from Anna Mary now ltt, the gilled daughter of William and Mary Howitt. It is interesting, as showing the feeling of that class of English reformers to which these authors belong. "All our anxieties and interests are just now merged in the sublime struggle going on, on the Continent. Our hearts bound to hear of }he noble course of Lamartine, and the countless grand and most truly religious passages in this great Revolution. Was there ever such a lesson read to despots and tyranny? May it please God to strengthen these patriots in their aspirations, purify the people and keep them calm in their sovereignty, and let the world acknowledge, that 'Liberty, Equality, Frater pity,' are not mere words, but the living spirit of Christianity! • • • What, however, saddens u■ most, is the cold, sneering, calculating spirit, with which the English Press; and also the majority of the public; receives the tidings of these revolutions they laugh at thieve attempts to carry out the teach ings of Christ; but are not these the Scribes and Pharisees, who, had Christ appeared bodily aiming us now, would have equally derided him as a dream er and seditious character? All this spirit or pro gress is au `answer to the prayer—" Thy Kingdom Come!" Health of Governor Shuuk We are rejoiced to learn, from the fidlowing ar ticle which we find in the Harrisburgh Union of Wednesday, that our excellent Governor is rapidly regaining his health and strength. This information will be particularly gratifying to the Governor's nu merous friends in this city. GOVERNOR SIIUNK. nit given us infinite pleasure to state that Cover or Suusx is recovering quite as rapidly as could be expected, from his recent protracted illness.-I.le is quite free from annoyance from the disease which afflicted him, and daily acquires-strength.—We have no manner of doubt that he is perfectly restored to health; but, as a matter of course, it will require time to recruit and regain his usual strength. We most sincerely rejoice,:that it,bas pleased the "Great Disposer of all events," to prolong the days of this upright public officer, and we are certain thousands of the good people of this Commonwealth will unite with us in expressions of thankfulness. Ohio Democratic Convention. A large Convention of the Democracy of Ohio, assembled at Columbus, on last Thursday, for the purpose of adopting measures in regard to the Ap portionment Bill, which the Federal party have bad the audacity to illegally force upon the people of Ohio. We find a meagre account of the first day's proceedings in the Steubenville Union, sent by tele graph. R. P. SPALDING, Esq., was President of the Convention. The Union's correspondent says: The committee of seventy were in session all day yesterday, and will, perhaps, be engaged also all this day. They bye agreed, it is said, to two propositions : First—That the Apportionment bill is not a law: Secondly—T o ask the Governor to call an extra session of the Assembly to enact a law. Things tend toward moderation and prudent action. The New Postage Bill. The following arc described to be some of the principal provisions of the bill reported by the Post Office Committee of the U. S. House of Represents- The circulation of all newspapers free °Montage within thirty miles of the place of publication, not above the superficial of 1900 square inches.

It is generally believed that Mr Reed is about the only debtOr to the Bank, and that he is very rich. The Bank has two hun dred and eighly Six - thousand &Mari in circulation, and only sixteen hundred dollars of Cash on hand I But the Director's say that its discounted paper and Erie Canal Bonds'are More than sufficient to pay its debts to the public. If its statement as published is true, we believe that the paper will be eventually redeemeif; but who will compensate the innocent holders of the notes of the swindling concern for the sacrifices which they will make to enrich Reed I Will the present note holders wait two years? No! The paper will be sacrificed and bought up by Reed's agents, and thus be will be enabled to create anoth er fortune out of the sufferings of the farmers, me chanics and laboring men of. Western Pennsylvania. But Reed will say—" Oh, the paper was very good, and the people had no business to run upon the Erie Bank and break it His friends will sympathise with him, and he will be received into the " best society," and courted as a right honorable, worthy, excellent gentleman ! He wilt be applauded for his magnanimity in securing the paper of the Bank, and all that. We say that GENERAL Reed will suffer but little in reputation, while better men than be are incarcerated in the penitentiary, bereft by ar. ciety of friends, character and every thing they ever held dear. But these were poor and Reid is rich—that is the difference: The one a robber—the other Alexander. Ma. HARPEIC—WhiIst our Federal opponents are quarrelling amongst themselves, as to a 'candidate fur Congress, would it nut be advisable for the De. mocracy to consult together, at least, and bring for ward the names of our prominent men, for the con sideration of the party 1 At no former period, in the political history of Allegheny county, has 'there been so much union, harmony and good feeling, in our ranks, as at the present time. This must be a source of peculiar gratification to every genuine Republican ; and must have a powerful influence upon our party at the coming election. Uwe place in nomination good and true men for the offices to be filled—men who will rally to their support the bone and sinew of the party, 1, for one, entertain a reasonable hope, that we will give the Federalists close battle. It is altogether important that we should make a popular nomination for Congress, So as to bring out nut entire vote. I hear a number of persons spo ken...a:tin connection with that high trust; but in nry-44Yrion, the gentleman whose name stands at the of this article, will secure,a larger vote than any other Democrat in A 11.-gheny county, and I say this, I 353111 T you, Mr Editor, without intend ing the slightest disrespect towards any person in our ranks. Cu!. Gurion is well and favorably known to nearly every voter in the county. He is a true and tried Democrat; and in all the severe con flicts through which our party has passed, he has stood foremost in the fight. Col. G. is personally popular—he has no enemies, political or otherwise, to operate ag •inst hint. Every person who enjoys the pleasure of his acquaintance, esteems and ad mires the man. Sl' If nominated, he will receive every Democratic role in the County[ and I think there is no doubt but that there are hundreds of high-minded whigs, who have become heartily dist_ gusted with the course pursued by their party lead ers, will rote for Col. Guntur also. We have received the Detroit Free Press of Wed nesday,which contains a lull account of the great fire in that city on Tuesday. The destruction of prop erty was much larger than was supposed at first. 300 houses were consumed, and upwards of 300 families rendered homeless. The Free Press says: The city of Detroit was yesterdry visited with a most disastrous conflagration. It is estimated that the loss cannot Call short of $250,000r and at least 30f. families are houseless. On Jefferson Avenue, every building on the sena side, is destroyed from the new Campeau Block which was partially destroyed, to the second build ng below the Congregational church. All between that and the river is in ashes. Not a building is left standing below 'Jefferson. Avenue, between Bates an.l Randolph streets, cept the warehouse of Bre wster 4- llugeon, and Thompson', Hotel, and many are burned above Brush Street.

Mei rytnan , in Baltimore county, about twen ty-three miles from the city, upon the Bushcahin run, a tributary to the western prong of the Gun powder river. The land in the city is noted for its mineral productions, and is probably an extension of the great metalic belt which transverse' the Union, in a north-easterly and south-westerly direction,pass ing through the mountainous districts of the States of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. Sales for the week have been large; and a more animated appearance exists in nearly all descriptions of Goods. The exportation of domestic cottons has been quite heavy and at fair prices: still the amount in market has rather increased than otherwise.— The amount of foreign goods on hand is not large, if we except cloths and linens. Eutope being in a state of almost general revolution we cannot see why all classes of our manufacturers cannot suc cessfully take advantage of their instability and short production, by planting themselves firmly in our own market at last, and thereby become well 'prepared to resist, in future, all honorable competition from abroad. This state of things in Europa will act as a high tariff for its, and besides, this a large amount of capital and skill will most certainly seek invest thent here in various forms of manufacture, rather than risk the menacing Chartist movements and rev. olutionary overthrow and repudiation ; for although their present demonstration has not had the desired effect over England proper, yet the time is not far distant when Irish Repeal and Chartist sentiments must prevail, and whether peaceably or not, the change must be as thorough, and want of confdence and commercial convulsions nearly as great.—Mer. chant's Ledger.

El=ffiMMlM On Friday ;tiornitig of last week,thelicittite of Mr. Charles Gteer, in'South Strabane township, shoot 3 miles filbriiiiwn,..on the _old Pitteburgh road, was burned to the ground, andihe old train and his wife Were consumed in the Games. Mr. Greer was one bf the oldest residenti of the county, and had lived since 1796, on the place he occupied at the time of hittunexpected death. He was thrifty,prudent man, and laid up money constantly. He was known to exchange all the paper money •he received; for sil ver, but never loaned any, and always refused to de posit his money any where, else than at his own house. •At the time of his death he was known to have abobt $2,300 in silver secreted in his house.— The fire took place just after midnight; and when the neighbors examined the premises in the morn ing no trace of the money could be found. From this fact, there seems little reason to doubt that the old man and his companion were foully murdered, the money stolen and the house set on fire. The bones of the unfortunate couple were found among the ashes, and a Coroner's jury returned . a verdict in accordance with the facts. 80-clue to the per petrated this atrocity has yet beetr discovered ; though it is to be hoped that such an act or villainy will not go unpunished in this life, even though sure of punishment in the next.—Washington (Pa.) Pat riot. PROSRERITY UNDER THE TARIFF OF 1846.—We are pleased to see that the sale of refined sugars at 8 cents per pound, which is much less than was expect ed under free trade, is not incongruous with pros perity in business. Nor is it any diminution of our pleasure, that this prosperity attends the Messrs. Stuart, who have been so great advocates of protec tion; for no firm in this city, if in the United States, has done more to supply the market with the purest and choicest articles in which they deal, than Mes srs. R. L. & A. Stuart, who have just disposed of, at auction, a large quantity of beautiful refined white sugar, at 8 cents per pound. Surely, hereafter, there will be little else used but refined sugar.

FREEPORT AQUEDUCT DESTROYED BY FIRE.—On Saturday morning, we were somewhat surprised in witnessing great rafts of charred and burning timbers floating down the Allegheny ; and in a few minutes, we learned that they were the re mains of the Aqueduct which crossed the river at Freeport. It had been burned that morning. The particulars of the origin of the fire, we learn from Gen. Clover, as follows : On Saturday morn ing, as a brick boat was entering the Aqueduct a man jumped on board ; and at this end he landed and started off. Before the boat-lrad gone far, the men on boarcUlescried a light on the Aqueduct,-pre cisely at the7spot from which the " mysterious stranger" junined on board. • They returned ; .but with all the aid of the neighborhood, the structure could not be saved. That it was the work often in cendlily, and that the fellow referred to is the guilty one, there can be no doubt. Who he in, no one suspects; but it will be strange if he does not yet suffer justice for his infamous crime. By the following correspOndence, which has been furnished us by Gen. Clover, it wilt be seen that the work will he commenced at once : Cott.rc - rna's OFFICE, Pittabuigh, May 13. j Thomas L. WILSON, Sec'ty., Canal Board : The Aqueduct over the Allegheny river at Free port, wan burnt down last night. The burning tim bers arc floating past the city now. Ci.nven.—Tell Power to purchase timber, and procure carpenters immediately and commence work. I lease for Pittsburgh this morning—toll Pcwer we hare funds to pay for the timber. J. M. POWER. We learn that workmen are already busy in ma king preparations for a new Aqueduct. The canal Board meets to day, in llarrisburgh, and the most vigorous efforts are being made. In two months the new Aqueduct will be in readiness for boats. In the meantime, tow boats will be put upon the Allegheny by all the lines, and goods and passengers will be forwarded on without delay. The interruption to trade will not, we think, be as serious as anticipated by many. Col. Power, Mr. Palmer and Capt. Seely, are now in Freeport, draughting plans and making tJae necessary preparations. iThe Canal Board will allow a reasonable drawback to transporters; so that their business will not be interfered with. It is the determination of the Com missioners, that the disaster will only be a matter of inconvenience to the boatmen, and not loss. METHODIST COSTERENCE.—(n the Conference yes terday morning, the most agreeable feature of the Proceedings was the short address of the Delegate from Great Britain, Dr. Digest, in answer to certain enquiries submitted to him, in relation to the rules and ceremonies of the Church in his country. The statement of the Rev. gentleman was quite instruc tive ; and to Methodists, it was encouraging. The M. E. Church of this country will doubtless profit by the information imparted to it by the Delegate from abroad. In answer to an inquiry by a mem ber, he stated that he never met but one black man in England who professed Methodism. That one was an American, remarkably intelligent, and had been a slave in South Carolina, and had escaped from his master. He was received into the church there, the same as a white man. Previous to the abo've statement (we had almost forgotten to mention,) a Report was read from the Committee on the State of the Church, in relation to the Property difficulties with the Church _South.— They asked for permission to have an interview with the commissioners now in attendance from that d vision of the M. E. Church. The case of Rev. E. Sprague, of the Troy Con ference, occupied the remainder of the morning. This gentleman was suspended by the Troy Con ference .on rather serious charges. He made his defence in part yesterday, and we thought it a pret ty fair vindication of himself—but the other parties have yet to be heard. ANOTHER CANAL. BOAT LINE.—We were informed on Saturday, that a new line of canal boats is about to be put on the Sandy and Deaver Canal ; which will run from this city to New Lisbon. Such an en terprise must succed, as the great and increasing business of the Columbiana region of country, will need some such mode of conveyance. The steam ers Cope and Beaver will tow the boats up and down the river. MERCY HosprrAL.—The •Catholic, of Saturday, publishes tho names of the collectors, for the benefit of this institution, with the amounts raised so far sot opposite to their names. About $l5OO have been paid in—a very handsome sum for one week's work. More will yet be raised, and on next Satur day the Catholic promises to publish the additions that will be made.
