- phanalia of an artist, which he dropped, and left
• on the .bank where we were upset. Lady Anne
* confessed she felt the throbbings of his heartothen
- she was !obliged to lean against him ; and-she re
,marked that the tone of his voice was musical; or
certainly the most.expressive she ever heard. Her
-aristocratic prepossetisions did not forsake her even
at this
,romantic beginning of her first romantic ad
.._ venture. She w _ assure . "he .was not merely apro
- fessichiaVartist, he was well born, that was evident
in his finelthstocratic features, is deporttnent,his_
voice, his tuna, of expression." on' e true,
, said my friend; continuing her relit(
at our
. _ English' - aristocracy have a cast of ea re rarely
foutidamong the lowerclasses: though quite com
mon with yours,Who, however:, with their straight
. " noses add thin lips, have an intensely vulgar ex
- -pression." -I, 'however, laughed at Lady Anne,and
told her that I thought the mind inspired the form,
and that beauty and grace were the outward signs
- of the beauty chartered by Heaven alone.
_ Basil Astley—that Was' the name of_our hero
made rapid advantes in Sir Guy's favor. Sir Guy
' - Was himself sa amateur' artist. He had portfolios
filled with slretchea made in Italy and Switzerland,
when be was a young man; his walls were adorn
ed with pictures from his own designs. The dear,
- good man's perceptive powers were not aharp, and
- - in the indulgence of hie own innocent little ego
trerns, he never dreamed of the passionate love to
. . • which he was unwarily giving such opportunity of
mutiny and growth. He invited Astley to become
1. his gueit. He walked with him over his lovely
- place, suggested aketche, which were- executed
immediately and charmingly. He little dreamed
of the - episodes that were enacting in the bowery
„park, and during the moonlight evenings—he re
mind blind—for never did 'I see two young crea- ,
titres more passionately in love than Anne and
Maley. It was like nothing but the love of Ronaeo
awl Juliet. He was not more than one anctirvetty
—and she not seventeen, which, to our cold, north
em
blood, is not more than the fourteenth year of
the girl of Verona. She was Astley's idol, and
the idol'a"love reached his idolatry. No woman's
institretircould mistake the bliss that shone in the
facts of these young people.. The mother saw . it,
• and the., father wire immediately apprised of her
-discovery- He had looked upon Anne as a child,
and she was now caught in toils that no woman's
strength is strong enough to break. What was to
be done ? ; The affair must be crushed, and at once;
Astley was a poor artist, of obscure birth. Anne
• boasted a long line of noble ancestry, and had a
fortune in her own right. Justly considered, per
haps, these accidental advantages would have been
but a fair offset against Astley's high gifts, and by
uniting the two young people, the social equilibri-
LIM would have been restored; but in my country
society is cast in an inflexible mould. Lady Anne
. must be mated with her equal in social adventa
ges. She was destioed by her father for the son
of 'a neighbor, the friend of his youth-of his life
time. The young man was well born, well edu
cated, well principled and amiable—the bean ideal,
or rather the bean actual of discreet papas, was at
• the time traveling. Sir Guy, as prudent as Brutus,
had not - even communicated his secret hope and
purpose to his wife. Sir Guy was not the cleverest
, man in the world, but he had good sense, and what
is better even than that, a good, most kind, post
' affectionate heart. The inspiration of such a
heart's instincts is far Vetter than ,the subtlest
policy. Sir Guy at once asked a private interview
with Astley. He told him that he was aware of
the passion into Which youth and opportunity had
betrayed both him and his child. He did not re
proach him, he did not even express a shade of
displeasure...-bat only Sympathy and tenderness.
'He treated the continuance-of their intercourse as
siziaply impossible. Re assured Astley that he had
- never for a moment doubted his honor—that he
was perfectly certain that he would not for the
world, after a half hones cool reflection, take ad
vantage of the romantic fancies of a child. 'He
expressed great regard for Astley, unbounded con
fideace in his genius, and hope of his future career;
advised to his going immediately to Italy, and
. concluded by saying that, as Astley already knew
he had been enamored of art in his youth—that
when he was in Italy he had been struck with the
struggles of his countrymen there, and that when
, he returned, he had set apart a certain•sum for
their aid and encouragement. That sum, well
husbanded, had now become enough to support a
young man for four or five years in Rome; and if
Astley would go there, and permit Sir Guy to
remit it to him from time to time, he would give
him the great pleasure of executing a long cherish
ed object,-
.
To so much reason and kindness there was no
"answer bat acquiescence..
Before they separated, Sir Guy said, 'lt will he,
a solace to you both, perhaps, to have a parting -
interview. As you will feel compelled to leave us,
tomorrow morning, you, can have a last moon
".light-walk"it the Park, where the starry influen ,
tea - will be - no longer dangerous." A few more .
words the kindest interest were spoken; and they
parted. Lady Anne was then summoned to her
Tether's Presence. He communicated to her, with
the utmost delicacy the discovery of her love. He
did not reason about or discuss it, but to her, as
be had done to Astley, he spoke of its indulgence
as simply impossible.
.He: did not utter a harsh
or a grating word, but was all love"and tenderness
as if it were an inevitable sickness of a little child
that be was treating. He told her, in conclusion,
that Astley was to take his departure in the moo-
ning for Italy; and that' she would meet him in the
Park for a- parting interview, where he Would be , 1
ar nine o'cloek, awaiting her and her friend. An - I
ne•left her father, weeping, trembling, heartbroken I
hnt with not the smallest notion of resisting his
will—or rather her destiny, which to he it-seem
ed to be,
She came to me, and remained in my arms, with
throbbing pulses, sighs, drenching tears, and half
uttered sentences'of submissive wretchedness, till
it drdw neat ,nine o'clock. We then went to the
park together, 'and by a sure instinct to the favor
- its haunt of the lovers,a closely sheltered
Astley was awaiting 118. I left them, remaining
near enough tosecure to them the propriety of my
proximity. H our after hour they walked or Bah
together,—sometimes I heard the murmur of their
voices, sometimes intermitted sobs. The day.was
diwning, and I was otliged to tell them so, to dis
pel the last shadows of their lovely dream.' -AM
I never witnessed such a parting._ They . - both
seemed rooted to the ground. "Eternity was in
their lips and eyes." I was'at last obliged to take
Anne away, and half, drag, half carry her, more
dead than dive, to her own apartment Poor
Astley was left.lying on the ground. I heard dear
Sir Guy still pacing his room as we passed door.
This all happened fifteen years ago. Last sum
mer I was passing a. week with 'my friend, Lady
Anne, now Mrs. Charles Wyndham. A charming
little matron she is, after the most approved mod
el, lair and fat,' though not yet forty. She has
four or five lovely children, and is surrounded by
the contentnents that are iu such perfection in
of country life in England. We were one
day at dinner, when her husband, a sensible, good
humored man, and a right minded member of par
liament, said, "Ann', my love,l saw in the Lon
don Times, this morning, the eath of Basil Ast
ley."
Did you, indeed?" she replied, as she would to
the announcement of the death of any- other man.
I involuntarily turned my eyes to read her soul
in, her face; but Mier* was no writing there—not
the - movement of a muscle—not the change of a
shade in her color. After one minute, she asked,
"A -little more soup, Charles?"
The "first tore" was forgotten.

THE TENTH OF APRIL.
This la the anniVersary of a day that-will long . be
remembered in this city. On the Team or AP RIL.,
1845, a terrible calamity befel Pittsburgh, which
humbled hes people to- the duet; but with .e recu
perative energy, of almost miracidotts power, she
has retrieved her losses, and the destruction of more .
than a thounalid buildings and five - millions worth of
property would be forgotten; if the scenes. Of that
eventful day were not seared upon the memory.—
The aiming sun rose warm and pleasant .upoh an
active and enterprising people, full
.of hope and
happy in its anticipations ; the same 111/11 sunk be
hind the Western hills, and what a change I one
third.of the , city was in ruins, and the surrounding
country was lit up with lurid flames fanned by the
wings of the Destroying Angel I - Many arose from
their beds In affluence, and when night came on
were supperless, penniless aria homeless. Who
can tell what a - day will bring forth ! •
Four years have swiftly passed away, and what
, - .revolutiOns'have taken place'! Pittsburgh has long
since been re-built with costlier and more magnifi
cent inaosioni ; her wealth and her enterprise have
. astonishingly- increased ; and she has only now to
.Atttlibithu little of the energy sho_displayed after
the Great Fire, and open one 'or two artificial aven
ue.% and the, riches of the mighty West will be pour
ed into her lap.
And why should not this be so 7 Was there ever
a geographical4osition in the world so admirably
favored by Naturefor a great city At the bead of
the Palley of the Mississippi; ~protected on the
North by the frozen lakes, and 'on theEastby moun
tain barriers ; with the'' inexhaustible coal of the
Moncmgabela, and the inexhaustible iron of the Al
legheny, and with the Ohio to carry our products to
an inexhanstible market; and add to - this what is of
still more value, salubrity of climate, and an inlet!-
.
igent,,industrioutCand moral population ;---and we
ask, was there ever tlb favored a city ? Nature has
truly been lavish in her gifts ; but if we want these
gifts to increase in value, and never to be stolen
from us, we should make au ally of Art, and speed
ily construct artificial avenues to the North and
West, to bring us trade and travel which other en
terprising communities are seeking to carry off. -A
little more of that energy and public spirit which
actuated our citizens after the Great Fire is wanted
'at the present time. There is no lack of sagacity
among our business men, and no one will gainsay
what we have written, but there is existing an unac
countable apathy on this subject. Perhaps in times
past too much has been said about rail roads, and
too little done, and thee - theme is hackneyed and
without . interest. *But this should not be so. Ev
ery business man knows that the means is within
oar power, by the constructing of a Western rail
road, ofbringing hither trade and travel immeasur•
ably valuable to es,und yet why do we remain idle
and indifferent ?
We have unintentionally wandered from the sub
ject we commenced with. Tito following letter,
written to Harrisburgh only roar yearsago, will now
-be-considered ao-rt curiosity, SO entirely ere all ves
tiges of the wreck of fortuneiby the Great Fire're
moved, and so prodigious_ have been the onward
strides of our people since that time.
Prx - resnaew, April 12th, 1845.
To His Excellency Francis R. Shank :
Dear Sir :—We inform you in behalf of . A atm,-
CD env, in behalf of thousands of helpless women
and children, and in the Caine of die Moat High,
and for the sake of every humane and benevolent
emotion of the heart of man, to extend by the in
terposition of authority vested in the Executive the
session of the Legislature, now drawing to a close,
in order that the condition of this suffering and
prostrate people may be laid before the General As
sembly, for the purpose of considering such sugges
tions for their relief as we confidently trust wOl
meet the prompt and willing assent of the constitu
ted' authorities of the State. In behalf of the citi
zens-of Pittsburgh. WM. J. HOWARD, Mayor.
At a joint meeting of the Select and Common
_Councils of the city, held April 11th, the day fol
lowing the fire, the following preamble and resolu
tions were adopted, and forwarded to Governor
Suomi :
Wircarea, a very large portion, comprising more
than a third of the population, in suffering, and two
thirds of the wealth of the city of Pittsburgh is
, smouldering in ruins, by a dispensation of Provi
dence, unprecedented in the United States, and the
extent and universality of the confusion and disas
ter, are at this moment beyond all computation—
carrying the hopes and fortunes of thousands upon
thousands to a ruin that beggars description, and
sets at naught all hopes of private or local relief
and appeals irreaistably to the liberality of the Leg
islature and the country.
Resolved, That the Hon. C. Darragh be authorized
to prceeed at once to the seat of government, ad'd
press upon the authorities there, the claims and ne
cessity for such liberal provisions of law as will mit
igate the enormous losses and sufferings of.a PROS.
TRATE costszonzrv, and for this purpose to forego
for a few days the adjournment of the Legislature,
until some adequate and appropriate measures of
relief can be agreed upon.

. Another nOMetal” Taylor Paper.
The federal editors, within the last few years,
have had a great deal to say in opposition to offi
cial 22 papers at Washington. But since the election
of General Taylor, these patriots have ceased their
carping! on this subject. There are now two fede
ral papers . published at Washington, the Inteli
gancer 22 and Whig, 2 2 which write official) , over
the official articles °film administration. We tin
derstand from the Union, that a third paper is to be
established in Wuhington, by Messrs. Bullitt and
John 0. Sargent, under the auspices of the inimical!.
tration, which is destined, and certainly expected,
to become its special organ.

Walter Forward.
The Washington 'correspondent of the North
American, who ht . aaid to be some ottetal about the
White geese, writes:
The appointment' _of postmaster ar Pittsburgh
.was not tendered to siideclined * Mr. ForWrifd r ur
any other'individuttl-'
IF.Another, writer_from Washington states,thatthe
Pestmastership r of this city was not iriveri'to Mr.
Forward, for the reason that the administration de
sired. to reward =tarn with something better. The
Washingtoil correspondent of the Pennsylvanian
says:
" Mr. Forward's friends say most emphatically
that he did decline the Postmastership of Pittsburgh,
and withdrew his papers."
This statement, we learn, needs considerable cor
rection. In the first place,-itts stated that Mr. for
ward forwarded no "papers" to Washington; hence;
he bad none to " withdraw." • He did not, at any
time, " decline the Postmastership-of Pittiburgir.”
As to the manner in which the appointment of
Mr. Roseburg was procured, .we know. but little, and
care less. We shall letthe Whip quarrel it ow
amongst themselves. One Of the disappointed states
that it is not true, as reported, that Governor JOHN.
arm, was called upon to act as umpire in this
matter. True,. he says, the Governor was written
on the subject, but peremtorily declined recommend
ing any one, inasmuch as he had given them all IA :
ten of introduction to Gen. Taylor? The GeVir ,
nor, however, the stofy goes, referred the Cabinet
to a prominent and tefiuentiat'"young whig" in 'this
city, who, he supposed, would be the proper - person
to advise with in relation to this itnportantmatter.
The "young Whig" in question was invited to:Wash
ington, whither he repaired by expteas, and was
soon seated between. Old Zach• and Mr. Collamer.
After considerable_ talking and Smoking, it was
agreed that a commission should be made out for Mr. I
Roseburg. The "young whig" treated the disap
pointed—with great kindness; and the disappointed
retreated—for home!

The more reckless Federal Editors, have been bu
sily employed in circulating the atrocious untruth
that Gen. Can took his seat in the Senate on the
last day of the late session of Congress, and drew
double mileage from Detroit to Washington. We
have heretofore refrained from noticing this calum
ny, deeming it too shallows' falsehood to merit a ae
rie'', notice. Least some:honest but over credulous
persons might be deceived by this Fisderal slander,
we copy from the Washington Union the folibivisig
official certificate of the Secretary or the Senote.--,
It remains to be seen if there hr a Federal editor of
sufficient honesty in the country, to copy this refu
tation into the columns of his paper:

I certify that the Hon. Lewis Casa '

that day. ASHBURY DICKENS,
Secretary of the Senate.
New Railroad Pro Joist.
From the Pittsburgh Post, we learn that Major
Larimer, one of the most enterprising citizens of the
smoky city, is engaged in procuring, legislative ac•
ilea to invest a company with the power to make a
railroad from that city to Wheeling, and active,
means are being used to obtain, from the Legisla
tuna of Virginia, a similar act to that which may be
granted by Pennsylvania.—Ctn. Com.
sitt-Thia new project of Major LARLItta, appears
to be well received by business men generally. Ev
ery railroad to and from city, will increase its busi
ness,nsM to its wealth, and ttettießt the surrounding
country. The Bill to establish this new Railroad
passed the Legislature on Saturday.
The New Judicia l " District 8111.
We think the people of our State will be some
what amazed when they come to hear of the entire
change in the Judicial districts ofthis Commonwealth
ind the appointment of three additional law judger,
adding some sit or eight thousand dollars to the ju
dicial expenses of the Commonwealth. We have
never heard of a petition asking this general change,
and very much doubt whether it will meet with the ap
proval of the people. It was sprung upon the House
some three or four days ago, urged by the Wliigs
with great ardor and voted for by a few Dernociati.
It was understood to be an administration measure.
This secured for it nearly the entire Whig vote, and
with the aid of a few democrats it was carried thro'
the House. When it went into the Senate it was
taken up in opposition to the urgent remonstrance
of almost every Democratic Senator, a very brief
discussion permitted upon it, the previous question
being called on every section of the bill from the
first to the last, and the ink of the transcribing
clerk's was scarcely dry upon It before Gor. John
ston had his nominations in the Senate for the new
judges created by the bill. Thus in threadays with
out the knowledge of the people, have the whole
judicial districts of the State been changed and
three additional judges been appointed. This we
presume is a part of the Whig economy promised
during the late campaign.—Harrisburgh Union.
Kir What will the tax-ridden people of Pennsyl
vania think of this um". federal scheme of GoveroJr
Jeans - tow 1 That a single Democrat, in either
branch of the Legislature, should be found. co-pera
ting with the Whigs in passing this Bill to strength
en whiggery is painful in the extreme. The unfaith
ful servants should no longer be intrusted with pow
er by a betrayed and outraged constituency.
Sotrru Crinotrue WooL.—The Camden [S. C.]
Journal notices a bale of wool grown in that district,
which was for sale, and encourages farmers of that
region to abandon cotton and go to raising wool for

growing would prove more profitable than cotton.

Recovery of Stolen Money.'
TWINY FOUND WITH $17,000 IN IT.—Our
readers remember the account we gave some few
days since, of the great robbery of NESBITT 84
Co's Blinking Rouse in St. Louione of the bold
est and most successful .villainies, ever perpetrated
in this country. The news was sent hers, and onr
newly elected Marshal, JAMES L. RIIPPIN sue
ceeded in capturing a trunk that came in this di
rection, containing in the neighborhood of $17,000
all in gold. This trunk was found in the house
of Mr. William Litterel, who lives in Newport,
Ky., opposite our city. Mr. L. is a pilot on the
river between this city and St. Louis. clhe we un
derstood it, Mr. Litteral gave information to the
officer of the person who left , the trunk at his
house. Said person, having in the mean time left
for parts unknown. It is supposed by us, that
Litterel, who bears the name of an holiest man in
Newport, having suspicion of the man and the
trunk, gave information, when the owner of seta
trunk left to sell the checks which were taken -
from Nesbitt & Co. at the time of the robbery.
Be this as it may, our new marshal has done a
great feat, by securing so much of the money sta.
len from said banking house. This sum, $17,000,
deducted from $45,000, the amount stolen, leaves
as lost the sum of $28,000. It is a pity that the
fellow who left said trunk at Litterel's k unknown
or was not known in time to secure his arrest.—
/Fs it is, no trace of him is left; but the different
officers will doubtleas, ere long, have a description
of him, and we .hope.at least one of the robbing
rascals will be brought 'to justice.—Cincinuari

The Cabinet gave determined to increase the na
vat-force in the Mediterranean, in-reference to the
present state of things in_ that quartet. The Mis
simipfd is to.be sent out. It was at one time pro.
poked to send also a line-of-battle ship, but frigates
will probably be instituted. Events are, perhaps,
,soon to prove the value of anavy to this great com
mercial country. The fame acquired already by
our navy"will stand us in good stead when the
hour for. its further Arial shalt arrive. It will•
serve to, protect our commerce from spoiliation
until we can send forth our thunders in new and
forinidable fleets?
For boast defence we have such ample meansat
all times ready for application, that it needs no
preparation. But for the protection of our com
mercial interests ahroad, we shall need, and in fact,
now need, more ample provision.:
The members of the Cabinet have for some days
refused to see any one—being much engrossed in
busineis, and in consultations. They have many,
things to decide upon, not to speak of the all.ab•
sorbing question ofsemovalsand appointments.—
Many stumbling Mocks lie in their way, even now,
though they have not reached their principle im
pediments. When they come to questions of pro.
tection, of finance, and Wilmot proviso, their tron
blei will begin. A strong party support could
sustain them ; but h remains to be seen whether
they are to have such • a support.
The causes that led, to the overwhelming defeat
of tbe Democrats in Pennsylvania and New York
have already ceased to operate. If those elections
were to go over again now, the result, as to the
members of the House of Representatives particu
larly, might be very diffeient ; enough so, at all
events, as to throw the majority of the House on
the Democratic side. Such may, indeed, .be the
case, in consequence of changes in the Virginia,
Noith Carolina, Kentucky, and other elections yet
to take place.
The tariff question is to be one of the stumbling
blocks. Mr. Crawford is a free trade man, and
Mr. Meredith, formerly supposed to be free trade,
is pledged to advocate the overthrow of the tarif
of 1846, and to the restoration of the principles of
the tariff of 1842.
This question must .make some trouble in the
Cabinet. The result ,may be, however, to throw
the territorial question and the tariff question en
tirely upon Congress for decision, without any dis
tinct recommendation from the President in his
message. The Secretary of the Treasury in his
annual report to Congress, will be compelled to
take his own ground, but we know, from the exam
pie Of Jackson's administration, that such reports
had Pb influence upon Congress, unless sustained
by direct and strong Executive recommendation.
The prominent applicants for the more profitable
offices come here well sustained, and they will make
a Kilkenny fight of it.
The Pennsylvania cliques are said to be bitter
against each other—one fights as the original Tay
lor, and another as the true Whig party.
The Secretary of War is now the target of Whig .

alledged indignity Offered by Gen. Taylor to Gen.
Scott] which, according to the following note from
Col Webb, who is still in Washington, appear to
be
_without foundati on. Col- W. say
suoiri:theitth alt. , Prssffient 'Taylor saw
Gen. Scott in Rev. Mr. Pine a church, and not hav
ing tnet with the Gen. since the Mexican war, de
termined to evince by his reception of him that he
bore no malice f o r what had occured,—that ho v .
ever much he may have felt at the time, the mode
and manner of taking from him all his regular
troopS, he was willing to forget it. . .
Accordingly, he' met Gen. Scott, after the con
gregation was dramissell, in the inns( friendly man
ner—shook him cordially by the hand, and evinced
a degiee of pleasure at the meeting which could
only have beets' demonstrated in a stronger man
ner; fly publicly' embnicingt That, he 'did not
think was called for. The interview in presence
of the congregaiffin terminated by the President,
inviting Gen. Scott to call upon him.
On the following day Gen. Scott called at the
President's, andsent up his card. Two gentlemen
were with the :President when it was received;
and, instead of inviting Gen. Scott to come to him
in his office, which is up stairs, he promptly sent
a message to the General, inviting him to go into
hia private parlor below, where he would join him
with the least possibly delay. Within five minutes
he disinissed the gentlemen with him, and went
down stairs to receive Gen. Scott. He did not find
eim in'the parloi, and inquired of the porter where
be wag. To this inquiry he received for answer,
that immediately upon receiving the message
from the President, Gen. Scott got into his carriage
and drove aWayt On Trecleruiday he left the city
without seeing, -or making another attempt to see the
President. These are the facts of the case. I
vouch for their accuracy

[From the above, it appears that Gen. Scott has
been taking another "hasty plate of soup ")

artraordinary Affair.
SEDUCTION MUDDEWAND Pausscuxios.—The
city has,.for-Sotne days past, been rife with a rut
mor to this'effect a That an old resident of this
city, a physiCian, some time Since seduced a young
and interesting girl, lately from the country, and
to hide the affair, the physician administered to the
girl, suchknedicines as destroytd the offspring.—
Some time after this, the mother was confined,
and ,the scene that there occ ' urred•forbida any re
marks in print. As soon as the girl, who is at
the Planter's hotel, corner of Walnut-and Court,
was able, 'a proposition came to her from the phy:
sician, it is said, to compromise and hush the mat
ter up. He was willing to pay $3,000, it is said,
but the girl had, in the mean time, got counsel,
who put the sum at $5,000. Her counsel are said
to be Judge Reed and Charles Anderson, Esq.—
This large Ilium being refused, a suit was com
menced befre Justice Snellbaker, and the exam
ination Wilt to have come off on Saturday last,
but owing; to the indisposition of the girl, it was
postponed,.
It is said by some that the offspring was killed
by most violent and extraordinary means, and that
it was, on 'the occasion, mentioned above thrown
into the Pi: ond burnt. Surely this is extraor.
Binary case. Rumor has made it'so heinous, that
it staggers•'.belief. What makes it still more aw
ful, is the Mart so charged his been a professor of
religion. What crimes and follies, what indis
cretions, what dire calamities, and viciousness the
human heart is sometimes susceptible of and sub
ject to.—Pituirinati Commercial 6th itut.

For Commonivealtb, Mepare Darragh, Austin
Smith and Black. For Defence, Mears. Binder
Stanton and Mahon.
The prisoner was arraigned and a jury empan
elled, but not until a number of talesman were
called.
APtERItOON aZI3IIION.
Mr. Smith opened for the Commonwealth.
He stated that the. COmmonirealth would not urge
a conviction for murder in the first, degree. The
circumrtances are these : In November laat a diffi
culty occurred between the Captain of the Steamer
Atlantic and Saundenk—in which Black interfered.
On Widneaday morning Blackwaripasaing up Water
street; met Saunders ; .altercation took place;
Saunders threw a stone at Black; parties passed on;
they stopped again and talked Black drew a pistol
and fired at Saundere—shot him through the head.
It.will not be' denied that defendant did shootand
kill. The defence will be that Black was justifiable
in taking the life. We wilt thaw that there were
no circumstances to justify such a defence. Saun
ders was quite young and small; not stout; there
Was nothing to cause defendant to fear; be had no
weapon. Black acted cooly and deliberately. Rae
he feared, he should have run; but the evidence will
show that he followed . Saunders up and shot him.
The only circumstance that prevents no from urging
a conviction for murder in the first degree, is the fact
that Saunders threw a atone at him:
After presenting the facts, we will ask you, gen
tlemen of the jury, to render a verdict of guilty in
the second degree. .
James Itichanloon, sworn..--Arn - . Coroner of this

Court adjourned.
MATott , s Orrice—Nolan Morning.—There
were eight cases before the Mayor. The fellow_
who was arrested by officer Richardson on Sunday
evening for stoning atearaboate was brought up.—
Capt. Evans was the only witness against him. The
steamer Pennsylvania had been atoned, and witness
saw the prisoner pick up a stone and throw it. The
unfortunate fellow was fined $lO, which sum he ac
cidentally had in his pocket. A miserable looking
woman was up charged with having been found in
a board pile, surrounded by boys. Two young fel.
lows were brought in for being in company with her.
They were discharged but she was sent up.
Sir The richest thing of the season is the defence
of Macauley in yesterday's Chronicle. Some paper
charged the great essayist w ith v plagarislng from G.
M. Dallas'. farewell address to the Senate. Of course
the charge was written in the Punch vein' of hu
mor—to be interpreted according to the rule of“ Co
ntraries.” The Chronicle takes it literally and most
valiantly defends the “Britisher."
oar Thzt «whirli g i g » under the old Allegheny
Bridge affords rare sport for men and boys on Sun
days. There was a vast crowd enjoying the amuse
ment last Sunday. Thus they nccupied, the entire
day.
DlTheriey, of the Jakey,” was brought
back and lodged in jail, by officer O'Brien, on San
day., He will Ilen a trial, we presume.

FIFE Liexlytarrr.—About St o'clock last even.
leg an alarm_ was raised by a little fire which was
discovered in. Townsend; Carr & Co. , e coach shop,,
next to the Allegheny Bridge. The fire was started
by three fellowa r whit no'doubt intended to bore the
Bridge. Some bps who were playing near by, saw
them, but did not manage rightly, or they might
have caused their arrest. The flames were extin
guished before any damage was done.
oar A company ofPalifornians arrived from some
place yesterday. They got• into some sort 01 a
scrape, for we saw a number of them In the SherifDa
office, without permission to leave. We did not
hear what the -matter was.
