' At thirty minnteß past nine o’clock to-night the first passenger train starts from Pittsburgh to go through tho tunnel on the Central Railroad. The mountain is mastered, and the planes avoid ed at last. This forms an era in the history of onr State, and an era that promises increased prosperity for the future. There are people now living in Pittsburgh who have travoled diligently for a whole week to reach Philadelphia. Tho same persons con now go from our city to tho eastern metropolis .be- tween sunriso and sunset of a summer's, day, "without fatigue, and without occasion for stop ping to cat more than one meal. People rejoiced when the Portage Railroad, ■ . with its inclined planes, was completed. It seem ed then a triumph over a great obstacle to travel and trade. It was after all but half a triumph. • The full measuro of success is now attained; and ■'“ : tho traveler may now cross from one extreme of the State to tho other almost without being con scious of tho existence of the long dreaded moun tains* . The dtetenco from Pittsburgh to Phila delphia is 353 miles, the time now is but. 15 hours, and deducting stopping time.at different. » Btetions, the speed is at least 25 mites per hour. This road, besides its passenger trains, can now carry eastward from twelve to fifteen handred tons of freight daily, and bring westward nearly as much more. It has within a few days carried eastward about eleven handred tons in a single day; and there is every reason to expect that its full capacity for business will be fully tested throughout a great part of tho ooming Beeson. With the double track laid all the way, and the double road fully equipped, wo have no doubt ■ full employment will still be furnished by tho vast and increasing trade between tho Bast and West. This road may now defy competition. It has * no rival that offers cheaper or speedier passage for travel and freight between Bast and West, and our western neighbors would do well to cal culate distances by miles, hours and dollars, and they will then see that it is for their advan tage to come this way. Salts Against the Commonwealth. A bill was before tho Legislature, last year, authorizing creditors of the Commonwealth to bring suits in the District Courts, and Courts of Common Picas, of the State, for the adjudication of their claims. It was crowded out of place last winter by the great mass of special legisla tion that claimed nearly the whole time of both -Houses. We have heretofore expressed the hope that it would be brought up for consideration daring the present session. It would undoubt edly be the most economical expeditious mode of liquidating claimß agaioet tho Common wealth, and tho most safe and just method of settling Bach claims, both for tho claimants and the State. Many claims are urged from year to year be fore the Legislature, that probablyihavo no just foundation; and Borne of them succeed there, by good management, that would fail in our Courts. Other claims, that arc just, are lost because the creditors cannot afford to attend at Harrisburg,- year after year, until a fair and favorable hear ing is obtained. The great State of Pennsylva nia can afTord to be just towards her creditors, at the same time that she guards her treasury against groundless claims. What better or cheaper tribunals can either of the parties de sire than the Courts of tho Commonwealth ? In them the creditors can bB heard without nn ex pensive journey to tho capital. In them the State can guard its interests much better than at Harrisburg, in the midst of the haste and confu sion with which business is done during tho clo sing days of each session. It is full time that cur citizen creditors were fully and fairly heard, and their claims, whether just or unjust, finally decided. It is time the entiro indebtedness of tho State was finally made known; and it is time, we think, that the Legis lature was relieved from the duty of examining again and again old claims that, if just, should have been acknowledged and paid long ogo; and if unjust, should be finally rejected at the coet of tho claimant. - Wo are'pleased to learn thot tho Trustees of t'lo above institution have commenced an effott to rebuild and revive the above named institu tion; They have jnst completed tho purchase of a largo lot of ground on tho earner of Boss street and Diamond alley, la the Second Ward, and in tend to erect a building dnnng the coming sea son. As soon os the building is ready for it, an ex cellent grammar school will be commenced for iDStrnction in all branches of English education; and as fast ns funds can bo obtained for endow ' ments, professorships will be instituted, and every etfort made to place the institution on a footing worthy of its nnmo; and render it one of the best colleges of the land. The Trustees have now one of tbo host collections of minerals in the Western couotry; a good philosophical - apparatus; and a valuable library. The large population and great wealth and rapid growth of our city and vicinity make such an institution desirable in our midst; and we cannot doubt that the citizens of the two cities, and of Alle gheny county, will bo gratified to know that it : isto bo revived; and will lend to it liberal and substantial encouragement. Wo have received from C. Kmgsland, manu- facturer of costings in Allegheny. City, a new * fashioned smoothing iron, which; for beauty of workmanship and convenience in use, wc ore sure has never been equalled yet It Bives much labor, and for cleanliness and comfort in use, the ladies, who have tried it, declare it is unequalled. If it suits tho ladiee, it is bound to find a ready and large sale; and it does eait - them. It will suit all people. It does its work muoh more neatly than the old-fashioned irons that are thrust into tho fire to bo heated, and then mark tho clothes with soot and iron rußt. It is cheap, too, for bnt ono is wanted for nse. It is for sale at the Enterprise Foundry,* in Al legheny city. We call attention to the advertisement, in an other column. ■■■■■■■■ Hon. Jons L.

There is a lnlljost now, in European immigra tion, to Ibis port. Most of tho packets arriving have tworthirds berths empty. This is attributed. to the recent frightful mortality on shipboard, from cholera Emigrants are afraid to venture, at tho risks of their lives. Indeed, were it otherwise, it is known that the Liverpool agents, ijomo months since, received instructions from several of l tho largest shipping houses on this side, to discontinue carrying Bteernge pas sengers, so long ns the oholcra continued at,sea.

Tho city, however, js in a horrible condition! -the warm sun melting the ioe in the streets, that has been covered up with dirt nearly nil winter, in some.localities a foot deep, generating an atmosphere anything but wholesome. The cause of delay in gotting tho calorio ship Ericsson ready for her second trial trip, was the necessity of putting in a new air pump, tho old onenct being adapted to tho improved engines. The work will bo completed, however, in a few days. The statement of tho financial condition of the Cryßtal Palnco Association, published in tho morning papers, has had a bad effect upon the stock. At tho Board, this morning, it was sold at 20. Tho previous sales were at 22. Tho daily nttcndanco of visiters now, I nm told, is very in significant. Some anxiety is felt for tho safety of several packet ships which tailed from this port for Liverpool about the 20th of November; among them the Waterloo, Captain Harvoy, (owned by Kerrait and Carow.) and tho Leviathan, Captain Knapp, (owned by Messrs. Slurges & Clearman ) Neither had-been' reported when the Pacific sailed.

I would rather that 20 of them should die than that my child should suffer.* I receiv ed uo orders from Col. Oates, while on board tho Kilby, except to furnish him with water and food." Lieut. Van Veuat also testified as follows: Q. What orders did you reccivo from Col. Gates for the care ot the men? A. I received no orders from Col. Gates in re gard to the care of the men—those he left on the Kilby. Ho heft the Kilby without giving any orderß to mo. I was the only officer left there. Q Why did you remain with them 1 A.

The fire coromoncod m the cellar, bnt h.ow it orig inated is not known, as there had been no fire used in that part of the building, The oontents of the drug store being of a very combustible na ture, the flames sprnad with fearful rapidity, and in less than three-fourths of an hour, the whole building was laid in ruins. The lower stories of tho building fronting on Mam street, were occupied by Scott & Babb as a drug store, V. D. Gaetano & Co., as a whole sale fruit store, and Bedding & McGrath, mer chant tailors. Messrs. Bedding & McGrath saved a great por tion of their stock of goods. Their loss is email. Insured for *3,500. Messrs Scott & Babb are heavy losers. They did not succeed in saving n partielo of their stock. They ore insured for $B,OOO in the Boyal of Liv erpool and the Franklin ofhoee. Messrs Gaetano & Co. Baved a small portion of their stock. We were unable to ascertain the amount of thicr 16ss. They wero insured for $15,000 in the offices whioh Mr. Vornon of this city is agent for. The loss of Mr. Owen; proprietor of Owen’s Hotel, is about $15,010. Ho saved a portion of his furniture. Mr. 0. had expended some $4,- 000 or $5,000 in repairing the house. The Ho tel fronts 120‘feot on Mnm, and 120 feet on Sixth streets, and adjoins the Louisville Hotel. The latter building' was several times in imminent danger of being destroyed, and was only saved through tbo superhuman exertions of our gallant firemen. - Mr. Owen was insnred for $5OOO in tho Fire men’s Insurance Company. The entire building which was destroyed was owned by Messrs. Wm. B. Boynolds, W. B. Clif ton and others, and was insnred. It was to have been torn down in tho spring. Louisville Courier, February 11. ■Bbeadstcffs.— The breadßtaff consumption of this country is enormous. This is shown by tho small quantity of our exports to foreign countries. During tho lirst six months of 1863 tbo export was ns follows: Flow, bbls. Wheat, bu. 677,477 6,084,972 .784.873 1,906,470 Great Britain. Elsewhere This amount probably covers tho largest share of the export of a single crop, so that of last year’s yield, all except perhaps about two mil lions of barrels of ilour hns (been and will bo consumed at homo. The surplus of Ohio alone is nearly two millions of barrela In view of the probable increased foreign de mand for breadstaffs, the farmers cannot devote too much uttentionto the ensuing spring's orops. Spring wheat will pay this year. From the St. LouJa Ilepabllean, Feb. 5. Capt.
