Two Piueons Arrived from Sir John Koss. We have learned from a private source, that on Friday last, two of the carrier pigeons taken with him when he left the Port of Ayr, and some of which were to be despatched home in the event of his rither finding Sir John Franklin or being frozen in, arrived at Ayr, finding their way at once to the dove-cot which they occupied previous to being taken away. The birds, we under atand, arrived within a short time of each ether, but neither of them, we regret to be informed, conveyed anything in the shape o letter or note of any kind. One of them, in deed, had some document attached, and was found to be considerably mutilated, it having apparently been shot away. The time they were liberated by Sir John Ross is of course uncertain, but taking into consideration the well known powers of flight possessed by the carrier pigeon, it cannot have been very long ince they left our gallant countrymen. The distance the creatures must have traversed cannot be far short of 2000 miles, and as they travel by sight and not by scent the fact is the more extraordinary. Sir John Koss, we believe, took five pigeons with him, which, it may be remembered, were slated in the last accounts received of him, to h.ive been at that time time all alive, so that there are till three to be accounted for Sortk British Moil. ITALY. , An Extraordinary Bum.. An extraordi nary Bull has been issued by the Pope. It is dated Rome, at St. Peter's, under the seal of the Fisherman, on tho 29th day of Septem ber, in the fifth year of the Pontificate. H recites that it is the earnest desire and aim of the Roman PonlifT, to extend Catholicity, am! to "re-convert the English nation," espe cially by the foreign education of devout young English Catholics, who, when brought up lu the Propaganda College in their eecle, silica! calling, might return to their native land, and there propagate the true faith. The Pope consideiing the present stato of Catholicism in England, and the enormous number of persons daily converted, judges it proper to recall the vicars apostolic, and a complete episcopal hierarchy is established An Archbishoprio is created, under the title of Archbishop of Westminter, who wilt have a suffragan bishop of Southwark, and eleven other sulTragan bishops divide the rest of the entire kingdom. All their jurisdictions are boldly and distinctly parcelled out, and the bishops are assured they will enjoy in Eng land the same rights and facilities as in other Catholic countries, and that in a pecuniary point of view the new Bishops will be no lo sers, as the splendor of their te spies and ' their wants will be amply provided for. This Bull has created an intense feeling throughout Englund, and it is believed in many quarters that (he Cabinet Council ha been called together earlier than usual in or der to act in the way best calculated to slop farther proceedings. At Rome the feeling is equally intense, sinoe the wily Cardinals have put forward a report that Lord Minto has con' euled to the terms of the Bull and that the English Government baa placed Westminster Abbey at the disposal of the new Archbishop, in order thai he may perform high masse in that edifice at his inauguration. Dr. Wiso roan is charged with suppressing the prayer for the Queen from the Roman Misaul, by the London journals, and altogether the subject is becoming one of intense interest. In what way the indignation of the Protestant British publio will vent 'itself remains yet to be seen. Tata TcHi'AHETrix Route.

ANOTHER FIRE AT NORTHUMBERLAND On Saturday night, at 8J o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive stabling attached to the hotel formerly kept by Mrs. With ington. The strong glare of lit;ht reflected 06 a I uiiuii uur iimcs aim nouse ions urousrni out 1 . 1 1 0 our firemen. The Washington and Good Intent companies, with the apparatus of the latter, set out at full speed and arrived at the scene in less than twenty minutes after the alarm was sounded. The stables were filled with combustibles and blazed with terrific splendor. The flames spread with rapidity and by the time our firemen reach ed the ground had consumed the stable, and Scouts' Smith shop, and had completely en veloped the residence of Marks B. Priest- tuV HuPA th npmrraii f Ik- .- with extreme exertion, stayed. The ad- joining house, a frame building, and distant but ten feet from the burning one, was sev. eral times on fire. In the building in which the fire orin- O nated, were consumed four fine horses, and several sets of harness belonging to Wm H. i nompson ; the stage sleighs of A. E Kapp & Co. The greater part of Scouts' tools were lost ; as also much property in his shop Tor repairs. Mr. Priestley', fur- niture was principally saved. This is the fifth fire at Northumberland this year at which our firemen have ren- interests are not neglected, as none of the dered essential service. In the face of this bills yet reported contain the provision for t a ! ...Ml .

From the citizens of that place generally, our firemen have received many marks of kindness, and felt deenlv the public token ot gratitude extended to them by the Council, and they were totally unprepared for such an act of ingratitude. G" A reward of Five Hundred Dollars is offered by the Town Council of the Bo- rough ot Northumberland, for the appre- hension and conviction of the incendiary, or incendiaries, who have set fire to the buildings lately burned, or may be hereaf ter burned by incendiaries in that place. The fire of Saturday evening last, is the fifth that has occurred within the last two months. For : more than a month there was a regular patrol during the night, which was discontinued only a week or two since. It is to be boped that the reward offered will effect the discovery and con viction of the guilty perpetrator of these outrages on the peace and safety of our neighbors. ' . . SUN BURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL. THE LEWISBt'Rn DEMOCRAT AND OURSELVES. One of these ephemeral sheets that ere suddenly . sprung into existence, to sub serve some selfish purpose, ippearrd a few months since under the title of the Lewis burg Democrat, and hat, since its brief ex istence, devoted a number ot articles to us on the subject of the tariff, Gen. Cameron, and democracy in general j subjects which it advocates with about at much understand ing and chi 'airy as Don Quixotte did that of Knight-errantry and the wind mills, " , We are free to acknowledge our personal j u . f i"iuii j urn. vameron, a friendship that I its existed from our boy-hood up to the present time. Mr. Shriner should not however judge us by his own experience. Friendship is not always bought, and it would be well for him to learn that those who declaim most loudly for principle, ire most generally those who are greatly in want ol it themselves. Whatever our views and principles are, they have ever been consistent, open and independent. Though far from being rich, we have al; ways been, thank fortune and our own en ergies, above wont or the necessity of ap- pealin, tO others for contributions. Our es,ab,i(thment W(l h,ve f(f. cured by the fruits of our own industry, and no human being can lay the flattering unction to his soul, that he has ever con tributed one shilling thereto, directly or in directly. If the editor of the Democrat can say as much, it is more than many of his neighbors would like to say for him. We had intended not to notice the rabid effusions of the Democrat. We did not therefore reply to his absurdities a few weeks since, proclaiming the congressional election in this district, as a free trade tri umph. There are three townships in thii county alone which would make a differ ence of five hundred votes againt any man living, who entertained the views of the Democrat on the tariff". We are among those who think a democrat is a freeman, and has a right to think for himself, and that Robert J. Walker is not a saint, or so perfect that his statements cannot be doubt ed. Mr. Shriner no doubt thinks differ" entlr, and finds the servility of obedience to superiors, much more convenient, if not 1 l - L! ii I At L . ll congenial, Leungs man me irouu.e and freedom of !" nd 'peaking for him8elf' VVe have hiSh reSard 'or the abilities of Mr' WaIker' Yel we ,ook upon mm as a man, ana not wnoiiy iniain- ble. We stated nothing but facts and cir- cumstances, and referred to documents in regard to Mr. Walker's report on the tariff, ana" we should like to see the editor of the Democrat or any of his blind and servile worshippers, controvert them, not by generalities or the rhapsodies of a blind fanaticism, but by facts and figures. If we are wrong the task will be an easy one. If we are ngm oomuasi ana iusuanism whe ther generated by ignorance or design, cannot affect us. ' l.i 1 . 1 n . . In regard to caucus nominations for U. S. Senator, our views have ever been the same. Neither true democracy or the I.. , i . . . . ,, laws Contemnlate that memhnr chniiM 1 l- ir , , . bind himself to eo into caucus, unless he sees proper. But if he takes his chance by going in, he should submit to its decision It may be well to state, not by way of apology, but to show the fallacy of the im putations on our motives, that we did not see the arlicln in question until it appeared in print, and that it was written by a friend who bad charge of the American during our absence at Philadelphia. These attacks upon Gen. Cameron, we are satisfied, owe their design more to envy ' ' V I PV abilities as a politician, than to any deri- hction of duty. As a U. S. Senator we be lieve him to have done more for Pennsyl vania interests, than any two senators that have preceeded him for the last 20 years. Conobesj will assemble again in a few weeks. We trust that it will be a working session, and that some of the nub- lie acts that the people are deeply interest- ed in, will be taken up and passed Amon them is the Postal bill. Th, Country Press should be vigilant that th,;- the lree circulation of papers within the county or within 30 miles of the place of publication ; although a laree majority of the members are in its favor, and w. fi..l confident no bill can pass without that or a similar provision.

VVe bar a most painful duty (o perform in recording the death of five of our citi zens, viz George Clark, John Diehl, Ed ward Wingert, Jacob Bardsher, and James Reed, engaged in boating, who were lost ink gale on the bay, between Havre De Grace and Baltimore, on Tuesday last. The boats it seems became detached from the steamer that had them in tow, and some of them sunk and others were driven to the shore. There were, in all, seven per sons drowned, and several missing, accord ing to the statement below. Unfortunately most of the loss falls upon individuals from this place. We learn by letters received by Mr. Reuben Fagely from Baltimore, thot Mr. Samuel Thompson, Captain of the boat Sarah of this place, bis son, and Alex ander MantE, had arrived in Baltimore, hav. ing walked 23 miles. George Clark and John Diehl both leave behind them fami lies to mourn their sudden bereavement. They were worthy and industrious young men. Their loss is much regretted and th whole community deeply sympathise with their afflicted families. Edward Wingert was a young man about 18 ; Jacob Bardsher was a young lad about 13, son of a widowed mother, and both in the employ of Mr. Clark. James Reed was a young boy, son of Mrs. Reed of this place, about 12 years old, on Captain DiehPs boat. Captains Clark, Diehl and Thompson were engaged boating conl for Messrs. Reu. ben Fagelj & Co., of this place, who were part owners in some of the boats. The boat Farmer belongs to Messrs. Campbell and Rockefeller near this place. . Captain Grant deserves the warmest sym pathy from all who can appreciate his no ble conduct. The Captain says an Eastern schooner was laying at anchor a very short distance from his vessel, the Captain of which paid no attention to his signal of distress, when a little timely assistance would have averted the dreadful calamity. Capt. G. also says that a large steamer from Baltimore, bound down the bay, pass' ed his swamped boat, without making any effort whatever to save the drowning men. Such conduct deserves the condemnation of every friend of humanity. We extract the following from the Balti more papers : The Disaster in the Patapsco River is thus narrated by the Baltimore Clipper of yester day : Capt. Harrnd, of the steam tow boat Juniata, informs us that he left Havre de Grace about 7 o'clock, on Monday night with twenty-one boats in tow, all bound for this port. About daylight, when off North Point, the heavy pale which had been blow ing nearly all night, increased in violence and in spite of every effort, nine of the boats which we had in tow,, broke loose and drifted towards the White Rocks. The names of six of (He boats and captains, are as tollows the "John Thomas." Cant Coyle, loaded with lumber; "J. T. Miller,'' Capt. Howser, with lumber, ' Sarah," Capt Thompson; "Ocean," Capt. Deal; "Reuben Fagely," Capt. Clark ; and the "Farmer," Capt. Roekfellow the last three loaded with coal. The latter boat, the Farmer, was brought up to the city yesterday aflernoon by the same tow boat, which returned lo the place of the disaster for that purpose. We did not ascertain what was the fate of the other boats. Capt. Grant, of the schooner Cornelia A Cook, who humanely,' and at such a fearful cost, sent his boat to the rescue of the unhap py crews of the canal boats whom he saw drifting toward the shore, informs ui that his boat succeeded in reaching only one of the canal boats, from which was taken seven per sons, composing the crews of two other boats, nit the portion ol a third, who had all got on this boat and abandoned their own, undi the impression that it was the salest. Unfor- unately, owing to the high sea running, hi boat swamped alongside his vessel before al could get out. There were eleven persons in all in th boat, the mate of the vessel and three hands (among which was the brother of the captain and the seven persons taken from the canal boat. Tue names of the drowned are as fol, lows: George Smith, male, aged about 29 years ; Firman Grant, brother of Capt. Giant. aged 18 years, both belonging to Ocean conn ty, N. J., George Clark, Captain of the Reu ben Fagely, a married man, belonging to Sun bury, Pa.; Edward Wingert, boy, aged 18 belonging to same boat, and a laci named Ja cob Botcher, the driver of the boat, both be longing lo Sunbury, Pa.; James Reed, boy driver of the Ocean, and the captaiu of the same, John Deal.

Tub Ohio Slate Constitutional Convention baa adopted a section that there shall' be no imprisonment for debt, except in eases of fraud. J.L -!! U! Ji' lt Jude Grier in reply to a letter from Charles Gibbons in relation to his views of the fugitive slave law, shows most conclu sively that this much abused law differs but little from previous existing laws on the subject. The denial of the right of trial by jury to fugitive slaves, is talked of by the abolitionists as great outrage, yet the same denial has alwayi existed in regard to fugi tive from justice from one State to another, without regard to color. We make the following extract from the letter of Judge uner : This much maligned law not only gives "trial," before a legal tribunal, before the claimant can be authorised to carry the al leged fugitive out of the Slate, but it takes away from the prisoner no right which he would have enjoyed before this act of Con gress was passed. In all eases of extradition, the evidence establishing the offence and escape of the person demanded, is usually made in the country fjom which the person demanded has escaped, and is necessarily ft partt, and the chief question to be decided by the tribunal before whom be is brought, previ ously to making an order for his extradition is only the question of identity. The parly emanded has a right, of course, to show that he is not the person described. But if he be he person described, he tins no right to a jury trial, as to the question of his guilt, in the country lo which he has escaped. The question of identity, and whether the person laimed is such a one as the treaty between the two countries requires to be delivered up, has always been tried summarily and with. out the intervention of a jury. No complaint has ever been made when t-Aife mtn have been ent to Europe, on a demand for their extradition, without giving them a jury trial and why creater privileges in this matter should be granted to colored persons, is not easily perceived. The Slate of Pennsylvania guarantees a jury trinl to her own citizens, or to persons who are charged with committing an offence within her borders. Fugitives from another Slate have no such rights. It has been objectod also to this law. that it suspends the hahttu torpwt act, inasmuch as it enacts that the certificale of the judpei r Commissioner, "shall be conclusive of the right of such fugitve, and shall prevent all molestation of such person or persons, by any process issued by any Court, Judge, Magis' trate, or other persons whomsoever." But his is a mistake. The truth is, that this pro. vision of the law, forbidding the testimony of he fugitive to be received, and forbidding interference by other process, after a certifi. cate, is but an enactment of an established principle of the common law, added through exueme caunon, out wholly imnessary. "The writ of habeas corpus is undoubtedly an mmediate remedy for every illegal imprison. mcnt ; but no imprisonment is illegal when the process is a justification of the officer; and process, whether by writ or wnrrnnt, is legal whenever it is not dnfective in the frame o it, and ha issued in the ordinary course o justice, from a court or magistiate having jurisdiction of the subject matter."-(Common' wealth vs. Lecky, 1 Watts, 67.) The chief difference between the fugitive act of 1850, and that of 1793, is that the for, mer allows a warrant to be issued by a judge, and the arrest to be made by a public officer, and imposes more stringent penalties on those who interfere, by violence, to prevent the execution of lcjial process. Those who be lieve that the Constitution and laws of their country should be regarded and obeyed, have no around no complaint, and those who do not, will continue to rail at boih, as usual. . STEAM BOAT EXPLOSION ON THE DELA WARE. New Castle, Nov. 8. The telegraph will have furnilied you an account of the terrible disaster which occur red on board the steam propeller Telegraph, on her way from Philadelphia to Baltimore, last evening, about eight o'clock. The cover of her manhole (to Ihe boiler) was blown off, and scalded twenty or thirty of her passen gers and crew. Eight are now lying dead in the arsenal, and it is though that ten or twelve more cannot survive. The passenger are mostly emigrants. Rome are thought to have jumped overboard in their fright and agony. A hand was found on board belong ing lo some missing person. Drs. Coupei( Black, and Rogers, and iu fact, all the citi zens, came nobly to their aid. Boats were put off in all the haste the circumstances would allow.

The unsettled stnle of affairs in Germany and the extensive military movements now going on, are engauiusra good deal of public attention, and the Apprehension that matters may be pushed beyond the point of a pacific solution is to some extent gaining ground.

Eliliu Burritt makes some sensible remarks on the gim-crackery in which our Ministers always rig themselves on every official nra sion. Why don't they itnitMo Dr. Franklin, and go in plain Republican costume ? So thinks Elihu, as may be seen Dy ihe fol lowing extract from one of his late let ters : "It docs strike me ns directly misrepre senting the dignity and duty of the great American Republic, when its representative at foreign courts put themselves into cocked hats and mongrel military coats, and "tights' of bediddled plush, nnd hung with long awk ward swords, which ihey would be ashamed to wear at home, and lake upon them other airs and boyish gewgaws, in order to dance attendance on either royalty or aristocrncy. 1 hope the people of thu United States will look to this matter, and will demand that those whom they send abroad to represent th'-ir nation's diznity, shall comport themselves consistently with their vocation, and don no livery before Kings or Queens, or the mi nor potentates or principalities of Euiope, on any occasion. So strongly does the impro priety of this deportment lake hold of my own mind, that, if I were President of the Uni ted States, 1 would send no minister lo any foreign court which should require him .at any time to appear in nny other than that plain civilian dress which the constitution and custom of our country prescribe to him who receives the nation's guoslsat the While House in Washington. , PROCEEDINGS OF THE CANAL BOARD.
