‘-.Conascuos.--In aux last report of tho Le
siditivil news, ~ .cdd that Messrs. , Hughes
and. Straub bait bah offered, a resolution, asking
for ; en increatO'duty on ceased iron, in case of
r . • y
alteration_ . . I •
alteration_ tit the present tariff." We eons
.
! , nutted heron partial error, and take
,pleasure in
'to reefing it.
.Mn Straub only asked for that
.
ynease, Mr. Fughes' resolution being merely in fa
-, i - vour of adherence to the presient tariff alit now is.
Our reason for referring to and' eommenting upon
the bunter, was.a fear that persons 'might suppocT
the operators here ;gesired ineresse; whilskwe
know that they. are perfectiy satisfied r with the
present duty, as being high enough, land havc nay
er sought for any change. . -
• , Frai.,rotw Adams were thrown '
'into great
tettfuslop on Monday evening last, by rut alarm of
tee, which was discovered to proceed from the
finite builtlings,in Market street, it few doors west
Of Centre at., at the corner of. Adams st. When
the engines arrived at the spot, the buildings were
Rll on fire; end Itas it was fotind impossible to save
/ them; they being composed of light materials, ev
ery attention was turned to preventing the-adjoin
. lag dwellings from catching. The property do
• streyeg, consisted principally of a quantity of Car
twitters' and Cabinet makers tools, belonging to,
the persons'who occupied :the burnt buildings.
Great difficulty was experien&l in procuring wa-
ter from the plugs, in consequence of rt t ruk, adop
.t ted latety, - hf shutting off the 'supply it a certain
hour every evening. in , raany instances, the delay
wanld operate to the destruction of a large amount
of property, but happily in the present case, it
-- --was not -colloWedhy any marked effect, as the
buildings were all frame; not very valuable, and
'Ned with suck combustible materials that it would
!rave been almost impossible to subdue the flames.
We learn that none of the property destroyed
was insured, although, strange to say, one of the
oecupants had his policy of insurance made .out
and was to hayo taken it pp the morning subse
quent to the conflagration. •
c6 - •ln,lastSaturday's Journal, we noticed that
a Mr. Harris had commenced the business of
weaving ; woollen - goods in 'Our Borough, 'bid
that ho had received a medal in Wales for the
specimen of his manufacture, from " Lord
?se' We arc requested to say that the presen
lion was by Lady Charlotte Guest, wife of Sir
:ihn Guest, of Howl" Wales: Mr. Harris has
since exhibited to us serverial beautiful patterns of
his numufacture, and we would advise all of our
citizens who tlesire to encourage'home enterprise,
• to call upon Mr. Hi and leave with tibia their or

IMPORTANT.
Aco raze Covwr S . r.Ni.—Judge' Parsons
seems to be particularly unfortunate with the mem
bers of the Philadelphia. Dar, and has 'succeeded
in h:avirtg several strang'e dispUtes with them
already. On Saturday: lat he again liadtliffi- -
cultyWith David Paul Brown,'-Esq., who, in the
case of the Commonwealth vs. seiieml rioters, rose
to speak in defence of one of the parties, when' his
Honor deSired him to be Seated. Mr; Brown :re
rnonstrated and insisted upon being heard, but
after some altercation yielded and left the Court
room. The frequencY t oft such scenes will:make
Judge Parsons unpopular With the legal fraternity
of Philadelphia, who are less tolerant of opines
' sion than any oth'er bar in' the State. -

To this Tariff, iri its; ninciple; and its detail,
Mr. Van

Mr .: Clay on the other li l and, May be considered
as pledged to its suppOit, principle and •de
tail. Let the peopbi chPpSe between them."
Here we have it then from the mouth of one
of the organs of the - partT,_.:..3lr Van Buren is a
gainst the Tarifr—Clay is for it. The'orte is the
advocatE .of the prostration' and ruin of the inan
ufaeturing and othei• gmat interests of the total

Posrsez.—Tho enormous rates of postage
charged by Governmenian letters, Sze., has been
the meant of creating a number of private express
mails in several cities, and the other day We noticed
the following parairapii i in the. Boston Post: -
.iDo our citizens know that they can send their
letters to New York city for six , cents. each, by
leaving them at N4i. 13 Court street I—while 18
cents is charged by,the Government mail. Privale
enterprise, this !" -
Considering the abo l ve as a consequence of the
resent rates, we'd() think that it behooves our
citizens to stir in the Matter and maker some ex.
ertions to prevent:the', increase of these private

is, vequiked tit present :1 -
c' One fait is woithy df ncitice in reference, to
the wear and tear 'f our iron; about which some
pretty' WO calculations havnbeen Made. From
the date of our commencement in 1838 up to the
presad time, less than two tons "of rail-road iron
have!heen used in replacing the bars which have
heenirCjected from the tmek,lowing to the imper
fect gnu* of, the iron; .yet, in this period 847,-
d3O Miles hive been run by ;the engines, 333,000
passengers and about 500,000 tons 'nett have been
tranipprted over the, road, which, added to weight
of cars, will equal 87,444,101 tons hauled one
mile:
'Mir* this 'as a data, and with - the facilities of
ti second track of GO pounds!per yard, I ant of o
pinipn 'that the transportation oitsventy millions
of torth will not. wear out the rails on the Reading
and render nevi iron necessary: It
Must he borne in mind that 4 in renewing the Mils,
the old iron,will always command about three
tftftlis lof the cost of the new'," 1

' The nomination of Jong C. Seri - eta to; the
vacant Judgeship on the Bench of the Supeine
Court, was generally anticipated, and his
thin seems to be universally loOkedfor, as a:Mat
ter of course. He is a man of too strong and bit
ter, prejudices to administer although he ,
may-feel satisfied that he eaA become the 14-Ten
ser of justice. Fortdnately, I think, for the!judi-'
ciary and the country, the Senate of the Hnite.l
States has a word to say about that inatter how
ever- well satisfied Mr. Spencer. may be with his
own abilities, and peculiar. qualifications , O . the
It is a subject of rumor, based upon generally
correct inferences; that the Senate, in its Execu
tive session, adopted a resolution, calling upon the
President for inforniatiOnaS to the Secretaryship
of the Treasury, desiring to know whether it is
pow vacant by the, nomination of Mr: Spencer to
another office. 'The effect of this may 'die,. the
withdrawal of the name of Mr. Spencer: d move;
'on the part of the Pre,itlent, such as the 6, ceretar
rY of the Treasury's friends ought to Consider
kind and politic for him. • '
'With regard to the'rejection of Mr. Henslotw,

by no parts, vote, he havingrecchTtl, as ibis said,
only eight rotes'out offortg-two.

two reports come in, there will,,undoubtedlyibe
long, ardent-, and exciting debate, as the subject

seriously agitated in Copgress of late years, viz :
the- Stare rtprisentatieln in Congress.
The reports from the CommitteO on, tlections,
as there will be one from the minority; Will probz

of course, report faiorably to the claims of those
demanding seats from the States electioi by gen
eral ticket, on the ground that the act itself, though
manditory iii its character, is a dead letter, as it is
not fully carried out. They, i. c. the Majority.of
the committee., N;iedinitend that, Congress, hav
ing directed the States to perform, a certain,act, it
was incumbent on it, also, to. see, by ifs own,
agents that it was complicAnith. Itis nn idle and
'fallacious argument, but' the majority dre,ready to
• approve, and endorse, any : thing emanating, from
its own. ranks, hOwever absurd and ridiculous.
The important and 'valuable letter frOm the Hon.
Wu:max C. Rivrs, litiited States Senator from
Virginia, in which is forcibly and eloquently given
his opinioni.of certain eminent politicians now
filling the eye, and whose names catch the car of
the publie,in,connection with thdPreSidential of

which,' of course, you will not fail to, present to
your readers. It: io one atnong the 23.:1.1.;-.import
;lli, non significant signs of the times: .
Mr. Rives has, for a long time, stood in
uncertain political position. • His attitude towards
the Whig and Locofoco parties,-has been equally
tunlefiriable--neither claiming him, neither reject
ing him. - Standing thus, he has calmly surveyed
he field on which the great battle is to fought—
! e principles for which dach is to Centendthe
po ical characters of the two leaders, under-'
whir the forces are to be marshalled, and now
windrows all his support from

surgents, in order, at once, to eitroll himself .
amonethe ,Wnro hosts, that arenalv-panting to
do battle forHEsni CLAY. Hidoplitions ought,
to carry weight and influence with them, and they
-will. The letter commends itself, by the sound,
logical deductions therein
„adtlucetlirom , the pre
mises laid down, as well also, by its elevatedlono
and characte:, the mint reasoning Which pervades
it, and the' singular purity of its style in which.
'ie authors sentiments are advancdd. It shoirld
be in the hands of every voter in the land.,
It seems to lie thegeneral understanding here, that
a letter froM Hon. Jour C. ClLuotfyr, will short
ly be given to the public, through the South Caroli
na press, in which he will draw the dine that is to
divide him and his political frierids,,frorri the VAX'
