These-hundred or more different kinds of manufacture are carried on by individu als and, companies, .who are all pulling against escTt .other-each. interested in underselling and ■getting: a-faiger .market than the rest—every workman trying to work cheaper than his fellows —and if hired labor is employed, it of course is paid the market price, which is low just in pros portion as the demand .for work and wagcsum'**'*-" the work allthia orise'crrinTiu'aiifesheart-burnings, jealous temptations to fraud, failures in bu -1 ■—dSihess,- succumbing of tbe weak to the strong,— rOhotting up of all open heartedness, stifling ol be . nekolent and generous feelings, and fostering in- , - BteUd -thereof a cold, grasping, sordid, money* i V. making spirit that is made, to absorb almost every i ’■ c v- . other sentiment.

Why) cannot we do this?

With.this object in viewi sentence of extermination would ot once be t paesed upon- the countless swarm of little slorcsi that.act like so many bloodsuckers upon the community, drawing from the producer on one s ode, and Irom the.consumer on the other.

Patrick Kerr, Esqs., eev* erally entertained the meeting with addresses. The committee reportod the following—which were adopted. ► Whereas, Time and experience has taught us that the great wealth of Western and Northern Pennsylvania have been too long overlooked by the enterprising citizens of ail sections—that While they have sought out many and new sourccofor the invest ment of capital, the improvmcnt of the country nnd tho increase of trade and travel, tiroy have passed by one presenting more flattering inducements to .capitalists and stuck jobbers then nny yet underlay ke&| That in the ’ opinion of ihia meeting, a con nection by Railroad, of the cities of Now York-and Pittsburgh by way of the Cloriou river, would prove more advantageous in every point of view, than any similar improvement now in contemplation—that tho millions upon-millions of dollars worth of iron, coal and lumber which, of themselves would en« rich a nation, remain bui a dead letter to those to whom they belong, for want of an outlet to market —that the whole lake trade would be supplied with coal ofsaporiorquality.and at less expense than cao be obtained from any other section—that our lum* ber would be carried to every market of our country —that our iron would bo sold in the east as well as ijq the west—that the products of our farms would ind a cash market, relieving them from the ftuclua* tiona and losses incident to home consumption. Therefore, Resolved, That we invite the attention of the New York Railroad company to this branch of interual improvements. Resolved) That we rejoice to geo the citizens of Pittsburgh taking a deep interest in furthering this needed improvement. Resolved, That we will send a delegation to Pitts* burgh orHarnsburgh to attend a convention at any time that may be fixed upon previous to tho adjourn' ment ol tho Legislature, to procure the ngut of way to the N. York company, and consult upon the best mode of proceeding to secure the completion of said Railroad. Resolved, That we exceedingly regret that the Pittsburgh delegation failed to reach here m conse quence of being unable* to pass under the aqueduct at Freeport, on account of the high water. Resolved, That we tender to them our heartfelt thanks for the deep interest they have manifested in this great undertaking. Resolved, That while we regret their absence on this occasion, we appreciate their efforts, as mani fested on board of the boat, as foreshadowing, on Jlhcir part, q deep and abiding determination to car ry thework to completion. Resolved, That we lender our thanks to the Kit* tanning delegation; which attempted bat failed to meet with us on account of high water ami the fail ure of the steamboat to havigatc the river. On motion, Resolved, That a committee of thirty-one bo apb pointed to.draft a petition to the Legislature, praying lhat body to grant said right of way—to report a pre» amble and .resolutions relative to this subject ami also to select delegates to attend a Stale Railroad Convention.

Lon don Assurance is the play, inwhich Miss Logan will appear asLadyGay Spanker, and “ Old Logan” as Mark Meddle. ’ Laying aside .the attractions of the bill, Mr. Fos ter richly ; ,merits, and we know he will receive, the ofdhc season. He has left nothing; undone which a Manager could do to afford amusement and please the tastes of the,public;-this is-, felt and ac knowledged by all, and-if wo nrenot much deceived :he will have a flowing house; ■- CoNFcAoaATiorc.—A fire ; broke out - about 12 o’clock on Wc'dnesday night,' at tho corner or Sixth and Smitbfield streots, in the . Candy manulactory of Mr. O’Hara, which resulted 'in the destruction of several frame houses fronting on Sixth: street, two of which ore owned by Mr." O’Hara. The houses being of euch combustible material; the fiamfcß soon communicated to the Fifth . Presbyterian Church; which adjoins them. For a time wo were in hopes lhatithey would.be able.to save this fine structure, but the flames, it appears, got in under tho roorand were imperceptible,-from tho -volumes. of wator thrown on the outside of it, until the flickering light was seen in the cupola, and then it appeared hopeless. Although the most indefatigable exer tions were used, and-several engines ; were almost constantly-playing upon it, the fire bnrsl/through and completely euveidped the cupola in flamed—a sad bat beaulifai‘scene, to see that pyramid pfifiro, cracking and biasing in the air. V It illnmihaied the whole City, and a smart wind coming npat the time, made,it more and more fearful, and it cast A shade of gloom over the faces of many who owned property in the immediate vicinity, to think of what a perilous situation the, resali'of a life’s mil was in, knowing that the devouring element was no re-, specter of persona—the poor and the rich are alike to it. -■ Mr. O’Hara’s stock, we understand, was insured: to the ntnoont of SlOOO.in the Delaware Insurance Company. The church was complete!y destroyed, but was" insured in thqsame office to the amount of $5OOO. ' It is much to be regretled. that at ibis particular time an accident of this kind should tho con gregation had triumphed over so many obstacles, in liquidating a heavy debt which stood against them, ; and when, Wit were, in 4; financial' point ofview, 1 they had joet started on a career ol prosperity. It .was but a few days ainca that, the congregation" met, and a committee reported on the financial con dition of the chnrch, and scarcely has the echo'of congratulation ceased, ere the wail of calamity ari bob. We make a few extractsfrom the last Presbyte rian Advocate, in regard to its condition. It ap pears that on the 21th of October, 1847, when their; present pastor, Rev. Nathaniel West, wan ioataiied, the embarrassments of the corporation were each oe to reduce it to a state of manifest helplessness! from which there seemed little or no hope of re trieve. . ..F'. The debta demanded of the congregation! at that time, including some .email .'extras, amounted to seven thousand five llundred dollars, and upwards, embracing a ; mortgagrf of four thousand dollars for debts of. the , congregation assumed by Mr. Wright,' and a floating debt of about three, thousand five hundred dollars,'which they have paid off, making a total of seven thousand five hundred and fifty-five dollars and sixty-one cents. ■ . - Since the installation of Mr. West, by his unaid; ed efforts, and by indomitable perseverence; though opposed by obstacles and boset on all sides by snares and open force, from which any one eisei we are bold to'say; would have shrunk in despair; ho has relieved the congregation from her enormous embarrassments, and placed her beyond ail appre hension of financial difficulty. Since his installa tion, and daring the past two years and nine months he has paid the sum of three! thousand five hundred and fifty-five dollars and’sixty-one cents of debts o f his church, discharged by hint alone. There remains now nothing to pay under tho agreement-with the old creditors bnl the mortgage or $4OOO, payment of which is provided for through the same indefatu gable effortßj anA tlic geoefaus liberality of one of us members. ■ .'!... This, it appears, was the condition in which the church stood when this new misfortune befell it.— It is thought the insurance is not sufficient to re". build it.
