made two cuts ut his own throat, but was
as he says, prevented fiom killing himsel',
by bis wife knocking the razor out of his
haud. Their daughter, thirteen years old,
occupying an adjoining room, was awakened
by Ihe screams of her mother, who jumped
out of bed and ran down stairs In the
mean w hile Hawke raised the front window,
and loudly exclaiming 'i have cut my

about twenty minutes.
An inquest was held this morning, nnd a

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR DATED
Philadelphia, May 17, 1853.
The progress of improvement is still on
ward in this city. One enterprise is scarcely
finished until another is projected. It is no
uncommon thing to see handsome three and
four story brick, buildings demolished, lo
make room for those of more elegance and
larger dimensions, composed of granits or
brown stone, handsomely cut and carved.
The two splendid buildings of this kind, on
Cheslmil, near Seventh street, ore nearly
finished. ' They are now layiug down Ihe
pavements, of solid blocks of granite, from
Massachusetts measuring in length, over
seventeen feel, the width of the pavement,,
and fiom 8 lo 7 feel in w i-hh.. The'weight of
I hose blocks are fiom leu lo twelve Ions,
and tho cost, delivered, about two hundred
dollais each. Philadelphia has never been
celebrated for her If lel buildings, but two
of ihe houses, now kepi as such, having been
built exclusively lor thai purpose, via : Ihe
Girard and Ihe Merchants. In this respect
she is not only behind New Yoik, bul even
many of.lhe small cities in '.he West. Bul
the Councils, I understand, have a project
under consideration, lhat w ill give lo Phila
delphia one of Ihe most" magnificent Hotels
in Ihe world. The idea is to demolish thai
beautiful row of buildings in Chestnut utreet,
between 11th and 42ih. known as Girard
row, and also those on the southern ride of
Girard street, and erect upon ihe site a
plendid Hotel, its front extending the whole
square on Chestnut street, nnd running back
as far as Girard street. Underneath, except
ing in the centre, Ihcre will be a number of
handsome stores, the rent of which, together
with the rent of the Hutel, will, it is thought
yield an i'lcrease' of double the amount now
received from rents ol the present buildings,
ll is a must magnificent project, and as the
city has abundant meuns, and Ihe thing will
pay well, there seems to be nothing to pre
vent its execution.
II is more than probable now, that we shall
have two new rail roads, running from
Philadelphia to H.irrUburg. The Harrisburg
and Reading road, and Ihe Lancaster, Leba
non and Pinegrove road. Gen. Cameron, as
I have already slated, is Ihe President of the
first, and Christian E. Spatigler of this city,
an energetic and entcrpTising gentleman, of
Ihe second. The construction of Ihese two
roads will be a 'mailer of grent imparlance
lo our Susquehanna road, from Sunbury lo
Harrisbuig, and. to Ihe Sunbury and Erie
road making it, in fact, an extension of ihat
road to Philadelphia.
In a cily so extensive as Philadelphia, iheie
are always lo bo found men of note in every
profession. Among the clergy, ihere is,
perhaps, no one moie popular than Mr
Wadsworlh of I ho Piesbyterian Church.
There is an i.upressiveness in his style and
delivery, that renders his sermons highly at
tractive, and his church is always crowded.
There are, however, many w ho enteilain a
different opinion of his meiits. On Sunday
morning last, in company with several
friends, with some difficully, we seemed a
saat in the church, and we fell, at fiistt
somewhat disappointed in finding a sfrargor
in Ihe pulpit. 1 s;iy al first, because I suou
became very much interested in his manner
and the ability which ho displayed in his
discourse. His delivery was excellent, ond
Ihere was a massive force and power in his
language, lhat pl.iinly denoted ihat a preach
er of no ordinary character was before us.
Upon inquiry, I found lhat il was the Rev
Dr. Polls, a distinguished clergyman fiom
New York.

WAR WITH THE FISHERMEH
Attack on the town of Letws, Del., by m
hundred and fifty Fishermen-The Citizen

excitemeat at the Breakwater.
Tha town or Lewes has been thrown Into
great confusion for lha past two days, on ac
count or a fleet or fifty or more sail of fisher
men, Irom Maine and Cape Cod, appearing
in the harbor, and Ihe rioiuous conduct of
the stilors. Il seems, these vessels, for some
weeks past, have been fishing nlT Ihe const
for mackerel. On Saturday last they ran in
to harbor; and on Sunday some dozen or
more of Ihe men came ashore and raised
considerable distuibance in Ihe town of
Lewes. On Tuesday morning the vessels
put lo sen, but failing to discover the fishing
grounds, Ihey returned again the same after
noon. Angered and vexed with their disap
poinlmenl, a large body of ihe men marched
up lo Ihe town, where ihey committed the
most excessive acts of liolous behavior. They
made foicible entrances into private dwel
lings, frightening nnd insulting tho female
occupants. A few energetic individuals suc
ceeded in driving Ihem back lo Ibeir boats,
and the town authorities forbade them from
returning, al Iheir peril.
Shortly after sundown on Wednesday
evening ihe citizens weie aroused to iinme.
diate action by the report thai one bundled
and fifty fishermen were crossing the beach,
threatening lo attack and burn the town.
The men all turned out, armed wilh guns,
muskets nnd huge clubs. The windows and
doors of nearly every dwelliug were locked
and barred, and the females were in dreadful.
trepidation. In the meantime, the assailants
continued lo advance until ihey reached a
bridge which spans Lewes Creek, one hun
dred and fifty yards from ihe (own. Here a
skirmish ensued, in which Ihe fishetmen
were driven back, with a few broken heads
and bnr.es.
By this lime, a posse of the citizens had
taken possession of a cannon in front of Mr.
Burr's Hotel, loaded it with grape shot, and
upon the repulse of the fishermen a volley
was fired into ihem. The night wasdaik,
and it could nol be ascertained whether any
one was shol.
The firing of the cannon served as a signal
lo tho pilots ofl at the Breakwater. Several
boal loads immediately came ashore, nncWjoin-
ing the citizens, a pursail was made after
the repulsed assailants. Their rear was pio-
teeted by a loaded swivel mounted on the
biidge, with a slow match kept in readiness.
The pursuing patty, numbering a hundred
or more, armed with some sixty to eiuhty
guns, quickly reached the beach, nnd dis
covered the fi-hermen had embarked for
Iheir vessels. The firing of the cannon
wnmed Ihem of ihe fact lhat ihere is plenty
of fight in Ihe men of Sussex.
About twenty of the rioters mado forcible
entrance into the garden of Mr. Thomas
Howard, and despoiled the premises of all
the most rare exotics. Not content with
committing this outrage on the property of
an iiiinlTending individual, they turned upon
Mr. Howard, an J threw rotten eggs al him
and drove him from his carden.
Another party entored the house of Dr.
Hall, and insulted the females. The same
party burst into ihe house adjninini; and
drove the. females into the back building,
where they succeeded in resisting Ihe fur
ther advances of Ihe fishermen by barring
I Ihe entrances.
In Iho skirmish Mr. Wm. A. Morrow had
his leg severely hurt. Mr. Morrow, at one
time, stood alouo on the footway which ex
tends an oss the beach, and, with but a sin
gle pistol he kepi I lie whole parly at bay.
The fishermen stolo from off tho beach
several anchors, ami all ihe loose property
they could lay their hands on.
The citizens have matters now so or-Mni-
zed as lo permit only one or two lo laud nl a
time, for the purpose of procuring provisions,
and supplies of sea stores. This arrangement
will avoid tho fishermen collecting in ihe
lown in any largo body.
The affair, it is thought, will now termi
nate quietly, as the citizens have several
hundred guns, ready for service at a mo
nient's notice, besides several cannon at
hand, which only need loading lo be pre

ANOTHER DREADFUL CALAMITY-FALL OF
A BUILDING AND OR EAT LOSS OF LIFE.
Buffalo, May 14. A terrible oalamity
occutred in Ihis city yesterday. The build
ing on Main street, occupied as a banking
house by Messrs. Robinson & Co., and Robert
Codd, while undergoing repairs, suddenly
caved in, Ihe roof and every story being
carried through lo Ihe ground.
It ia feared ihat 1-1 or 15 workmen, and
soma persons occupying the upper atories
are beneaih Ihe ruins.
The utmost excitement prevails and Ihe
Fire department and a large number of citi
zens are clearing the ruins.
The front of (he building had been taken
oul for repairs, nnd Iho building was left
without proper support.
The building was five stories high, and
Ihe centra inside and back wall fell into the
cellar, carrying the men who weie at work
on each story down with it.
An immense pile of lumber has been got
out, and five men have been rescued alive
one with his leg badly crushed ami Ihe oth
ers seriously injured.
Three dead bodies have been removed
one lhat of John HulTord, muster carpenter,
whose head was completely crushed.
While digging in llin rear, u man fell his
hand tightly giasped by one beneaih Ihe
ruins, and clearing away, a boy was discov
ered who hud been jammed in between Ihe
timbers for upwards of an hour. The men
w-orked hard lo rescue him, Ihe little fellow
ibearing up bravely, ihough much crushed
and exhausted. He was at length restored
to the arms of his father, w ho stood by in
speechless agony watching the efforts of Ihe
men. The boy's naino is George Kinskey ;
he is much injured internally, but hopes are
entertained for his lecovery. The fire de
partment is now organized lo woik duiing
Ihe night.
It is supposed lhat fifteen persons ure Hill
beneaih the luins, u II of whom ate doubtless
dead, as Iho luins are piled up in a thick
solid mass from the cellar lo Ihe second story.
Much excitement prevails throughout the
city.
No more bodies are yet in sight.

That we proceeded lo ascertain the amount coming to Ihe Commonwealth during the
term of said Treasurers respectively, and have staled Iheir accounts herewith annexed
marked A, B, C, exhibiting Ihe results.
The report of Ihe County Auditors for 18-15, shows lhat Iho Commonwealth was tollf
paid all taxes nssesscd for lhat year, including Tavern licenses and olher sources. But
there was still oulslanding pait of Ihe taxes for previous years, which outstanding m
was fully paid to Gulick, Simpson, and Youngman. The portion received by each one is
charged in said accounts; ami Ihe w hole amount of Stale tax assessed, and other sums dua
Ihe Commonwealth, ns far ns we could ascertain them, (and we believe them correctly
staled) and charged upon one side of said accounts, and the proper credits on the other.
Those accounts .were prepnied for the purpose of determining what amount the Common,
wealth is entitled to receive fiom all Iho outstanding taxes on the first of January, 1852
Ihe expiration of Ynnngmaii's leim.
By account "A" it appears ihni accounting to Ihe Commonwealth for Ihe amount received
by Gulick of the taxes previous lo 1845, and all taxes assessed in '40 and '47, and all
money received for Iho State fiom unsealed lamls, and making allowance for I be proper
credits, Ihe State was overpaid on State lax the sum of S766 07 ; and Ihe Commonwealth
was overpaid for Tavern licenses, nnd Retailers licenses, nnd Pamphlet Laws for 1847 ;
but Ihero were balances in favor of the Commonwealth for Retailers licenses of '46, & mitilia
fines of '4fi & M7. Those balances set off aeainst each other exhibit an overpayment lo lha
Cotnmnwenllh, in Ihe years '46 & '47, of S697 20. Wo therefore report lhal, after paying
in full lo Ihe Commonwealth all laxes and dues for '46 & '47, there is coming lo the Counly
from the Commonwealth $697 20. Tho account "B" exhibits in the same manner a state
mont for Ihe years '48 nnd '49, during Simpson's term, nnd discloses a balance due the.
Commonwealth, from all sources for those years, ihe sum of $1,302 03. We therefore re
port (hut for those years Ihere is due Ihe Commonwealth, subject lo the balances in favos
of the county, for ihe years '46 nnd :47, Ihe sum of 1,302 03 from the outstanding taxes of
those years. And by statement "B," which in like manner accounls lo Ihe Commonwealth
for all hpr dues for Ihe yenrs '50 and '51, it appears there is n balance due Ihe Common-,
wealth from Ihe outstanding taxes for those years of $2,983 09i; and we therefore repoit
that balance is due the Commonwealth from outstanding taxes. Those balances put loge.

teen despeiadoes, entered the Lager beer
brewery establishment or a German, named
Malth ias Breriilul, in Baltimore, behaving in
the most outtageotis manner, and on the pro
prietor protesting against Iheir conduct, they
discharged several pistols at him, two balls
taking effect ia ihe arm, above the elbow,
and one shattering tha bones or one or his
hands. Juhn Kreningar, one or Ihe beer

The number or diggers increase daily. No
less than nineteen vessels were loading al

Balance the Commonwealth is entitle 10 leceive from oulsland- -
ing laxes., S3,f87 92J
We therefore report that 011 the payment lo Ihe Commonwealth of Iho said sum of &3,57
4, all taxes nnd other ilurs, except outstanding militia finer, will be fully paid and ac
counted for lo her lo Ihe 1-1 January, 1852.
Tho report of lha Comity Auditors for 1851, states tho amount of outstanding laxes for all
previous years at Ihe sum of S3. 940 'iS, and appenrs to represent lhal Ihe w hole of that is
due Ihe Commonwealth. Bul the foregoing statement it appear lhat only the sum of $3,587
024 is due Iho Commonwealth, being a dillerence in favor of iho county of $2,352 86
Thai the Commonwealth is not entitled to nil the Statu tax outstanding on the 1st of Jan.,
1852, is accounted foi by iho fads exhibited by Ihe statements herewith annexed, that in
Gulick's term nearly' S I,(00 more than was received from lha Stale tax and olher State
dues, were paid lo the Commonwealth from counly funds; ami also by the fact that in
Gulick's nnd Simpson's terms money was borrowed Irom ihe Bank of Nmlhumberlnnd, and
applied in payment of the State lax, before Ihe samo was collected. During the terms of
Simpson and Youncmnn less of the Commonwealth money was paid lo her than was re
ceived from her laxes and other dues, bul pan wns used for county purposes, as mny be
seen by the annexed statement. During those Insl two leinis, part of the money paid from
county funds and borrowed from Ihe Bank, was replaced, bul not al), and Ihe Common
wealth is not entitled to all of the laxes outstanding on January 1st, 1852. The balance
of 83,587 924 above stated as due Ihe Commonwealth from the outstanding taxes does not
include iho outstanding militia fines. We repnit lhat the sum of SI. 578 54 is all Ihe out
standing militia fines on Iho 1st of January, 1852, nnd, subject to all exonerations and other
ciedits, is due the Commonwealth.
From the statements maiked I), E. F, and G II, 1, it w ill appear thai Ihere aro balances
in the hands of Ihu above named Tieasurers. Incase those balances are paid it makes
liltlo difference w hether paid lo Stale or County, for the Stale being entitled lo receive
$3,587 924 from all her sources of revenue in Ihe counly, in full satisfaction theteof (except
outstanding militia linef) for the years '4fi, '47, '48, '49, '50, and '51. nnd if she receives
thoso balances, that sum due thu Commonwealth would be diminished that amount. But
in Iho event of loss, il may become important. We have therefore prepared the accompa
nying statcmcnls, maiked D, E, F, G. II, 1, so as to exhibit iho amounts received in cash
ami expended in cash for the Stalo nnd county respeclively, from which statements it ap
pears, lhal the Slate reicived for 1816 and '47 more than was received by the Tieasnrer of
her funds. We Iherefore report iho balance in Iho hands of Wm. Gulick ns prnpeily be
longing lo Ihe county, nnd payable for county purposes. But for MS and '49, -'50 and '51,
the amounts received fiom Slate funds were nol all paid over to her. We report lhat Ihe
balances in lha hands of Simpson and Youngman properly belong lo the State, and payable
for State purposes. But whatever ninuunt of said bnlauces is paid to the Commonwealth,
tho s'ame will be a credit from ihe sum of S3.587 924, reported above as due the Common
wealth. The statement D, wilh William Gulick respecting county mailers, exhibits a balance due
from him lo ihe counly of $1,982 5G. ' But Ihe one respecting Stale funds, marked E. ex
hibits an over payment by him lo Ihe stale of J 1,598 18, the difference between those bal
ances, viz, thu so in of $3S4 38, is ihe sum lhat remained in his hands at the lime he went
oul of ofiico. Wo iherefore rvpoit lhat theie is duo from the estate of William Gulick, tha
sum of three hundred mid eighly-four dollars and Ihiity-eight cents.
The statements F, G, with Jesse M. Simpson, shew a balance of $2,266 87 due the Stale
from the cash received by him, and a balance of S2,181 894 from Ihe county lo him for
cash paid by him for county purposes, the difference is SSI 974, Ihe amount in his hfnds.
We therefore report ihat iheie is due from Jesse M. Simpson ihe sum of eighty-four dollars
and ninety-seven cents.
Tho statements II, I, with George B. Youngman exhibit a balance of S921 184 from the
cash received by him cine tho Commonwealth, and a balance of $5S7 15 from Iho county to
him, for cash paid by him for county purposes. The difference between those sums is 5334
034, ihe sum in his hands. We iheiefore. report lhat Ihero is duo from Georee It. Young
man Iho sum of three hundred nnd ihirty-ftur dollars three nnd a half cents ; all of which is
respectfully submitted W. I. GREEXOUGH,
