THE DUTIES AND QUALIFICATIONS OF PILOTS. .Where a collision happens between two vessels by reason ofihefanh of.tne- pilot of one of them, he ead has employers are both liable, jointly or severally; and if the employers have to pay the damage, they may re cover it from the pilot. Different rule as lo public licensed pilots of maritime harbors. The pilot, alone, is liable to third persons. In a case of collision, the pilot cannot shelter himself under the excuse that he acted under the direction of the master. . ■ The duty of ordinary skill requires that a pilot shall know and follow the usual rules of navigation, and he is liable, if damage arises from bis transgression of. them. ... The tact that the injured party had three coal boats abreast, is not, of Uselt, and as matter of law, a suffi cient exense for a oollisloit: The law qf ike river, briefly slated. ACTION FOR COLLISION. The plaintiff was owner of the steamboat Pa* cific, and the defendant was pilot thereon. On a trip up the Ohio river, a short distance below Pittsburgh, the steamer met three coal boats be* longing to one owner, all abreast and lashed to* gether, and came in collision with and sunk one of them. The owner of the steambaat paid the damage, amounting to about $3OO, aod now sues his pilot for the loss, alleging that it arose from -Jus fault There was evidence tending to show that the steamer was about half a mile off when the coal boats were first observed—that the coal boats were coming down a narrow channel which set in close to the right hand shore—that the steamer was out towards the middle of the river, and when she ap proached the coat boats she changed her course and attempted to get iq between the coat boats and the shore, and had her bow actually resting against the shore when the coal boat came against her; ■ -There was some evidence that there was a bar on the outside, that furnished a reason for the steamer changing her course as she did. Mr. GiUmore for the plaintiff,. Mr. C. O. Loomis for the defendant. CHARGE TO THE JURY Lovv&tk, J.—The profession of a pilot ts a most responsible -and highly honorable one. To his care and skill are committed innumerable lives, and property of incalculable amount. He should, therefore, be u person of great and accurate know ledge of the difficulties and dangers of the partic ular navigation in which he is employed; well acquainted with the rules which ansa out of the rights of others navigating the same waters, and always ready to regard those rights ; cool and col lected in dangerous and trying circumstances; not given to recklessness and passion in order to prove his courage; and always careful of the vessel committed to his guidance. Persons of this char acter are alone fully worthy of being employed on our steamboats. Such persons do not merely derive honor from their position, but rather do honor to it, and are entitled to liberal compensa* tion. The legal Lability of & pilot corresponds with the high responsibility of his position. He is un« der obligation to hi&employers, as well as to third persons, to have and exercise proper care and skill in the navigation of the vessel. He is liable to his employers, and id collision cases to third persons, for any injury arising from his careless* ness and unikilfallness. If the. owners have to pay for his want of care and skill, they have their action over against him, on the ordinary pnnci* pies that govern the relation of master and serv* ant. And, in collision cases, the persons injured may. both by the civil and the common law, have their, remedy against tbe pilot; and employers, or either of them. ? Gorpua Jurifl. Dig. 9, 9,29, 4; Stort vt. Clements, Peake's Cases, 107. In some cases, indeed,, the pilot alone is liable. As where, according to.the rules of most mari time: ports, a vessel is bound to take a public li censed pilot. In such cases the pilot is an agent of the public and not of the owners, and- has the whole command ol the vessel, and; during such period, the. enure responsibility is od him* Car* ruthers vs. Sydebotham, 4 M. A Selw- 77; Snell vs. Rich, l Johns. 305 ; Milligan vs - Wedge, 12 Ad. A Elks, 737. Contra, Bussey n. Donaldson, 4 Dali. 206.. But, with pilots on our rivers, it is other wise,-..They are selected and* employed by the owners,, and both are liable to third persons for injuries arising.from collision by careless*pi loting, and the pilot is answerable over to his em ployers if they have to pay for bis fault While the general commatHtof the vessel, and the general direction of her course belong to the captain or master, the duty of steering her and of governing her particular motions so as to escape the dangers, and accommodate her to the spe< cial exigencies, of-the navigation, devolve upon the pilot who may, for the time, be at tbe helm. And, whatever may be usual among masters, mates and pilots, ob to the pilot acting by the advice or di rection of the master or mate, the pilot is bound to the owners and to third persons. to act- on his own responsibility. .The master or mate, as such, cannot control him tn steering the vessel, and it is especialjy.so when, there Is danger of collision Only an incompetent pilot needs such direction He canndt, as against third persons, shelter him* self under any advice or direction given by others. But if the plaintiff, as both master and owner, gave, the directions, he cannot complain of the pi lot, if injury* should result therefrom r . , Ordinary skill m a pilot implies that he knows and follows.the usual rules of navigation and if he transgresses them and injury Bnßes therefrom he is;liable for the damages; unless the persons injured were also in fault in such a way as to contribute to the loss; If a loss happens, on his abandonment of these rules, which most probably rwoold. not have happened if he bad adhered to them, the injury- is presumed to arise from his transgression. If the pilot unskilfully. manages his vessel, and an injury arises from such unskilfollnesa, the fact that the injured party .h&d three coal boats abreast is not, as matter of i&w, & sufficient excuse, even though that be an unusual mode of running coal boats, on.* the Ohio tiver. But if it is unusaal to descend the Ohio riveivwith three coal boats abreast, and that is an improper obstruction to the navigation, and that fact contributed to the loss, t 1 the defendant is not liable.

Pilots are bound to exercise ordinary care and skill, according to the rules of navigation. But ■the care required in the plain and ordinary course of navigation is not the same as is required in difficult'circumstances. Circumstances ol extra, ordinary danger require extraordinary care. And the very fact that the pilot had to pass coal boats in a somewhat narrow channel, imposed npou him a degree of care different Irom whut would have been required if he had bad the channel to him’ self. Still this is but ordinary care under the ar« cumstances. Caton va. Kurnney, 13 Wend.-JS9. Nowif the pilot exercised -ordinary care and skill for the purpose ot avoiding the collision, and yet failed in the attempt, life is not liable to his employers, though they have paid for the damage done by the collision. In order to aid you in deciding whether or not i the defendant did exercise proper care and skill, it will not be improper to advert to some of the plainest mles of navigation. The river and the ocean-are open to navigation fpr all Barts of vessels, and the law of the river or ocean must be such as to secure the greatest possible safety to all, without unduly infringing on the liberty of any. The usual rule as to vessels passing each other on tbe open sea, or on a clear, full river, is that each vessel keeps to the right. But this rule haß but Tittle application between vessels differing en tirely in their motive power. It applies under cir* cumetanceß of equality, os to wind and power, aod its exceptions are of a dear and well defined character. A steam vessel has its power within itself, and is, therefore, in a great measure, independent of wind and tide in the control-of its motions. It. can change itaconrse at pleasure, without altering a sail. It must, therefore, give way, if necessa* ry, and leave a'Sailing, or any less manageable vessel to her course. The rule, therefore, requires a steamboat to give way for coa! boats, rafts and such like. On the same principles, a steamer eoming up stream in a narrow channel must give way to one going down—a sailing vessel, running free, to one that js close hauled—one on the larboard lack to another on the starboard, if both are free, or both close hauled. Steamers are always put on the same footing as a sailing vessel with the-wind free.—2 Chit. Gen. Pr. 514 j Handaysule «. WiU son, 14 Eng. C. L 429; Sills vs. Brown, 3b id. 245. Sailing vessels must not go under a press of sad, nor steamers at full speed io dark-or foggy weather, in the midst of a crowded thoroughfare ; nor should steamers pass at full speed close to a smaller vessel, at the risk of Bwampmg it by their swell. Luxford vs. Large, 24 Eng. C h 391; Smith vt. Dobson, 3 Man. & Gr. 59, Jameson vs. Dnnkald, 2*2 Eng. C. L. 442. In a river with narrow channels, every vessel should hold itself in readiness for meeting others, and especially the vessel which la bound to give way. In cosed of uncertainty a steamer should rather stop her engine than continue running Where vessels are passing near each other, it is usually considered hazardous and bad seamanship tor one to run under the bows of another. It should go under the stem. In this cose it seems that the channel lies very near the shore, and yet the steamer, after keeping out to the right for some distance, changed her course, ran in to the shore, under the bows of the coal boats, and bad got close against the shore when the collision took place. You will decide whether or not this proves the absence of ordinary care and skill on the part of the pilot. Was there any proper reason for his changing bis course and running into such close quarters? If be was safe where be was, it would seem difficult to excuse bis miscalculation m running into such close and dangerous quarters. Verdict for the plaintiff. □loaon&oticia Improvement* Ar a meeting of tho Board ofManagcrs ol iho Mo* nongabela Navigation Company, hclff at their office on ihe 7ih day of April, 1851, a waa slated by tho President, that meetings of the citizens of Fayette | and Greene countio# are to be hold at Masonlown, ! in the former county, on the 22d iU6t., and at C*r* f intchacliown,to Grccoc county, on the 23d mat., in | relation lo tho extension of tho improvement to the Virginia line.

We paid a flying visit to Harnabnrg last week and were forcibly struck with the promptness aod rapid* tty with which the Speaker ofthe House,, Mr. Ceebna, despatched the business of legislation. Always ready on points of order, prompt in htß decisions, and thoroughly booked up on all the bills that are laid on hisdeßk, fae is at all times ready, and never appears to become wearied from the laborious duties devolving upon the Chair, especially near the close ofthe session. At the samo tune lie is exceedingly kind and caurteous.to its members, treating ail alike, and making hie decisions with the strictest impartiali ty He it universally popular with the members, and without-doubt ono of tho vary boat Presiding Offi cers the House has evorhad. We heard it intimated,*whilo at Harrisburg, that Mr. Cessna will decline's reflection to the Legis lature. We hope this is.not so, as his constituents and the commonwealth at large would lose tho eer* vices of a gentleman whose place could notbe easily filled either in the Speaker’s Chair or on tho flo or; The. people of his district shoold olcct him unani mously, and insist upon his acceptance.— Lancaster Intelligencer. ■ . 62?* A bob of Geo.

This building is the propers ty of F. H. Eaton, Esq-, a very worthy and en terprising citizen, who occupies the first floor as a Trimming store. He has undoubtedly tne most ■ extensive establishment ol the kind West of the mountains, and has it furnished and fitted up in a very beautiful and attractive manner. The.build ing is 20 feet in front by S 5 in depth. It has three stories, the first of which is 14 feethigb, the second 14 leet, and the third 13—total heighth of builds, ing 50 teet. The second and third stories are oc cupied by the You so Mss's Mesoistise Lt* nnAST and Mechanic’s Institute, one of the best conducted and most flourishing Literary So cieties in the country. Believing that a particu lar account of this excellent institution would be interesting to the public, we applied to one of us most■ intelligent members for some faclamrela tion thereto, and he promptly and politely com j plied with our request by preparing the following: Young Alea*s mercantile Library and This Insulation was tounded in July* 1847, by Messrs. Hcrah, Gram, W eaver. Holmes, frinney, Cutt ing, Ntmick, Wills, Crossan, Bagaley, Wiekerahara and others* of our enterprising young citizens. Many pre vious eflorta had been made Jio-supply a need long fell iq our community, but lrom want of sympathy,interest and aid. all met wita failure, or ut best with but partial success. ■ The present attempls, as they are established on a surer toundauon, and as the imperative necessity for some such institution daily becomes more obvious and palpable, ate destined, we trust, to brighter pros pects and more brilliant results. The association num bered tor the first year about sixty, and rooms were ob-. tamed ami temporarily fitted up m Gazzam s buildings, but, on account of increise oi members and library, they were round too contracted and unsuitable ;ihe pre sent large and commodious rooms were selected, and re moval was made to them in September, 1543. Notwith standing earnest. vigorous mad constant exertions, the progress of the hbrarv and the increase of the-member list were but slow or ls4S the number of books was 600. number of meml»or»io3; for ls49,number of books 11 sd, number of members 309; for ISSO, number of books 1416. number or members -;02; for lt-51, number of books 1477. number or members 500. Tbe constitution being modelled arter that of the Franklin Institute of Philadel phia, was tounJ too cumbrous, unwieldy and unfitted for tbe infancy and moderate advance of the Association, u was accordingly tncdiiitdand adopted to the then re quirements or the r-ocicty in the early.part of the year I«49and in April of the *ame vear u charter was ob tained from our l-emslatore making-ii a corporation, and inventing it wiih importance and dignity. Tbe Institution is now in quite a flourishing condition. Since the commencement ot the present year they have had an accession oj about .200 members, many of them the most influential and intelligent ot our citizens. The number of attendants upon the rooms has been largely increased, and the number ami character of the books taken oulby members shows 'a very gratifying degree ot interest, unil u very commendable desire for knowl edge and improvement. The library is as yet but a mere nucleus, and imperfectly supplied with standard work*. Tbe available fund* to be applied for its augmentation have hitherto been but very limited ; the donations of books have been scant, fur less than the association were led to expect, and certainly far less than they de served. Daring last y ear about 5250 Were raued by vol untary subscription among the members, which amount was expended in books. They mieud, we understand, opplying tor that purpose the proceeds of the late course of lectures- which have proved highly successful, deliv ered by Prof, hmerson. Tho Vounp Men's Library Association and Mechanic*' Institute. we teel confident, has now taken a firm and prominent stand among the meritorious and praiseworthy institution* in our midst, llbas won us way through many difficulties and obstacles to the confidence and respect of the community. It has worked nobly for us present position, and for the flattering prospects, which now begin to dawn upon u, and it certainty deserves well from all who desire the advancement of knowledge and morals, who regard with anxiety the prosperty of our city at home and who wish to tnuke for it a repula* uon abroad. Its sphere of influence And usefulness is now largely amplified, and if well supported and en* couraged by those of onr citizens who arc as able as they are willing to give proper direcuon.nnd added im* pulse to its course, it canbe rendered enicenlly useful in promoting order and. morality, m advancing com mercial, scientific and mechanical attainments, and in extending ’he knowledge of our useful art» and manu factures fur and near. We understand that some new and interesting features are shortly to be added. A1&.0 meeting of members has created Committees on Com merce and Manufactures,” which the object is to col lect, arrange, and from utne to.time publish, careful and correct statistical reports of our import* and exports, the amount and variety of our products and manufactures (of which even we ourselves reem singularly unenlight ened) and to give full information upon whatever mokes or affects the interests of our City. They intend,, also, if encouraged and sustained by the community, to have frequent courses oPLecturcß, both literary and scienti fic, delivered bymen of celebrity and talent. They have had for some time in contemplation, we understand, to establish m connection with the society and under its auspices, an *• Art Union,” or at lesst -to have an exhibi tion of the many fine specimens of Fine Art contained in our cities: Alt these-ends they may not be able fully to accomplish, but to create an impulse oradeßire tor knowledge and progress; is often .as useful as supplying the means. To enable them to their laudable designs, in a proper- satisfactoryaud successful raauner, and in order to make the Institute commensurate with the character and reputation of our city abroad, they pnly require the sympathy and co operation of all class es of our citizens, who long have observed the necessi ty of making qome progress and advance from old cus toms and conditions.

THE GROWTH OB’ THE ,WB?STi The Central Railroad will soon be finished,.and Pittsburgh brought within ten hours ofPhiladelphia. What a cbange from tho period'ol the old French war; when weeks were consumed in traversing the same distance. That was not quite* century ago, yet, if the worlhieaof Braddock’s army could rise from their graves, and journey over the same region again, would they recognize the country in its al tered aspectt It is almost impossible, even lor ns, accustomed ob we are to the wonders of the nineteenth century, to realize the change. In the year of grace, Seven teen hundred and fifty»one, there was, between the Alleghenies and the Pacific Ocean , scarcely a single town oi any aize, and only a few scattering settle ments like those around Fort PHt and other miliia* ry posts. Here and. there a bold/borderer occupied a fertile spot along a fiver bottom, contending with savage Indians for the possession of even this scanty bit of land; and occasionally a solitary boat rippled the waters ofthe Mohongahela, Allegheny or Ohio, but the magnificent steamers, the crowded towns, the Bmoking factories, and the countless farms which , no w constitute the wealth of western Pennsylvania, were then entirely unknown. A traveller .-might. journey for days, between Lancaster and Pittsburgh,; without seeing the smoke of a civilized habitation or'meeting a solitary white man.' * ■ Kved, seventy-five years ago, that section of our state, with all tract beyond iff was ahowK ing wilderness, inhabited only by savage beasts of prey, br more savage Indians. During the entire period of the - revolutionary war, and for many years subsequently, Keotacky, Ohio, and the western frontiers of Virginia and Pennsylvania, witnessed constant inroads on the part of hostilo red men ; and hundreds of the early settlers, with their wives and children, fell Victims to the secret-bullet, or to the equally deadly tomahawk. For nearly a whole generation, the farmer dared not go a field without \ hie gun. The wife, when her husband left her in': the morning, could not calcolate with certainty on*; his return at night. Ministers of the gospel, walk* ing to their inde churches, attended by their famiV lies, were scalped on the way. In the dead of night, households were roused up by the fearful war whoop, or the torch of the savage incendiary; and rarely was it that they escaped alive. The whole of that frontier was battled for, inch by inch. Every foot of groaod thefe may be'said, almost Without metaphor, to have been purchased with human blood. So Tate as 1777, Wheeling stood a siege . fromau army of redwarriors, and though the Indi ans/ were finally compelled to rolire, the entire country around was laid waste. Who-would be lieveit that saw Wheeling.now t. Even fifty years ago Ohio was so sparsely settled as to have just began thinking of settiog up for. a State f .and ten years later,* the Indian y/ar, which coded with Tippecanoe, {hade.heryfomen still torn, pate. Yet, in this year/eighteenhundred andfifty.- ono,Ohio basa population ofoearly two millions; grows more wheat than any other State in tho Union; and begins to talk of her claims to have the Federal Capital at Cincinnati,- instead ofatWaßhington.

It has been a century of mighty changes.: In the history ofthe world there is nothing like it. A hundred years ago there* was scarcely a civilized settlement beyond the Alleghenies ; yet millions of white inhabitants now people tho Mississippi Valley. Almost within the memory of man, there was not a passable road west of the Chesapeake ; yet, in a few years, locomotives will traverse the entire dis tance between Philadelphia and St. Louis; while, before the centary is out, we shall behold a railroad to the Pacific.
