These demands are, in themselves, ensonable, nhd ' ir Mr. Sonle had not challenged Lord How den, and shot the Fienoh minister in Madrid through the knee, he mitjlit go to these per sons, who, at this moment, have a particular interest to serve the United Slates, and ac quaint them wilh iho object of his mi.-sion. This done, and a proper representation made to the Spanish Government itself, would cause the whole tliilicully to be settled within a month from Iho receipt of his despatches. But Mr. Suule has quarreled wilh the Cama rilla, his son has fought a near relative of the Empress of the French, and he cannot be upposed to hold other than official relations wilh the British and French ministers. Mr Soule't social position in Madrid, therefore, cannot be very agreeable, and it is, peihapsi not unreasonable to suppose that he leels no particular anxiety to prolong his stay in the Spanish Capital. On the other hand, it is anything but un natural to apprehend that the Court of Mad rid, which is not prejudiced in favor of Mc Soulfi either from his American antecedents or his recent conduct in Madrid, will look with suspicion on any proposition coming from his government through its present minister plenfpotenliary, especially if tha proposition is not backed up by cither the minister of France or England. If, conse quently, Mr. Soule's instructions from State Department are not of a positive natuie, con' lining him strictly to a course of action) strictly marked out, and leaving ns little as possible to our minister's discretion, there is ground for apprehending that the, present difficulty will lead to some future embarrass. ment. There is no necessity of yielding one iota of our rights, or of submitting to any, the most trifling annoyance from Spain; but there is a way of demanding an explanation and satisfaclionVhich cuts off apology and it is sincerely hoped that Gov. Maicy will have guarded against it in his instructions. Wilh proper care, the case of the Black Warrjor presents no casus billi and in no manner in which the subject may be viewed, can it justify, or even afford a decent apology for filibusterism. The law which governs gen tlemen and distinguishes them from bullies) applies to nations as well a individuals. Observer. rr-TEE AIZEttXC AIT. " SUSBUKY. SATURDAY, MARCH !, I8!i4. H. B.

Mr. Buchanan, in an interview with Lord Clarendon, brought lo his Lordship's alien. tion and intimated to him the propriety of emancipating Smiib O'Brien from his con demnation and banishment to the Australian Island. Ha had the gratification, on the day succeeding, not only to find the subject in troduced into the British Parliament, but also to hear Lord Palmerston announce to the House that the Government had authorized his release from exile and bondage. So J Smith O'Brien, whose only offending consist ed in loving his country, not wisely, perliaps) but too well, is now emancipated and re deemed.

S Hotel, Philadelphia, March 20, 1854. f The weather for the last few days has changed from, nnt only moderate, but warm, to extreme cold. It is these sudden changes and variableness of climate Ihat operates so seriously upon invalids and persons of frail const i in t inns. : A few days since it was eo warm that persons walking in the streets, would seek I he shady side, now it is so cold ihnt over-coals are indispensable. 1'hilndelphia is now doing a brisk business Her meirhants are doing as much as Ihey can well desire. Manufacturers, mechanics and all, are doing a flourishing business. Yet in New York, it is said, Ihat business is extremely dull. This, of course, is owing to the superior fauililies of Philadelphia in sending goods to the west by railroad and canal. The New Yotk canal will not be opened for some weeks, and the harbors of Buffalo and Dunkirk are still locked tip in ice. The 'enus) Ivaniu Rni'rnad is crowded wilh busi ness. 1 liese tilings nre opening t lie eyes ol even Iho most incredulous lo the importance of the Siiuluiry and Erie rnad. There is now but one opinion, and ihat is tho road must be made und that as soon ns possible. Tho H.irrisburt; an. I Rending rail road was let a few days since. A gentleman by the name of lteillygot ihree-foutlhsof the wholo and lhe oilier fourth was allotted to George M. Liiinnnn !f Co. This road will be one of tho piincipal links, connecting the So n bury ninl trio to Philadelphia. Thn routs is a most favorable one, nnd the highest grades does not exceed twenty three feet to the mile. This road, in connection wilh the Susquehanna, will, whim finished, bring Sunbury within five hours of Philadelphia, a consumnlinn devoutly to be wished for. The City Councils met this evening for the purposo of adopting measures in relation to the subscription to the Sunbury and Erie road. The committee, however, was not ready to repot!, and the mailer was adjourned over until Thursday a week. There was some little dissatisfaction wilh some, who intimated that the Councils wihed to evaile making the subscription until the new Coun cils were elected. There is not, I think, any foundation whatever for suchuspicions. I know that a number of the Councils areas realous in favor of the subscription, as the best friends of the road can be, and one of them informed me this evening, that all would be right beyond any question or doubt, but there were certain matters that could not and would not be hurried. Tne nominalion of Judge Pollock for Gov ernor seems lo be well received in this ciiy, and mnny of I lie whig have sangun.e ex peclalions of his election. One of the whig delegates of tho city said to me n few days since that elements were now at woik, that would produce that result. These elements, I presume, are what is called lhe "American party," who hold principles similar to the Native American party and also lhe Tem perance pari j one of lhe leaders of which intimated to me that there would be no temperance candidate. The contest will be no doubt a w.frm one. niOT IW NEW IIAVEMi 1 On Friday (St. Patrick's Day) night, a tin, occurred at New Haven, which is thus rela ted in the Journal : A number of students, who attended Ho- man's Athenrcurn last evening, were followed from the Exchange, after the performance was over, by a crowd of men anil boys, who, on account of a disturbance that occurred among them the night previous, were exasperated at the Collegians, and took the occasion to vent their spile by hootingsand hissings, and the throwing of stones. The crowd proceed pel op Chnppel street, as far as Temple, when a general fight with stones and brickbats en sued Capt. Bissell, who was on the spot with his assistants, did all In hit power lo quell the riot, but had not sufficient force to accomplish his purpose. During the melee, unmber of pistol shots were fired. Several were hit wilh stones ami oilier missiles, but no one was seriously hurt, until the ciowd arrived in front of the bookstore of Mr. L. W. Fitch, when O'Neil was seen lo singger nnd fall upon the pave ment. He was picked up and immediately conveyed lo the Police Office where he ex pired in a few moments. Drs. Knight and Jewell were railed in, and upon an exami nation found that the deceased had been, slabbed in or near lhe heart. It is not yet known by-whom the murder was cotnmilied, and no arrests had been made up to 12 o'clock. Loss Nearly italf a Million. Loss of Life. Nkw Oni.EANS, March 17.

Tho loss is estimated at from $400,000 lo 3500.000. Il is feaied that several persons were kill ed by lhe falling walls, 'although only one body has yet boon' recovered. Mr Woodn.tr, nn old citizen, and foreman of Exempt Company, and Mr Mcl.eod, fore mnu of anoihei company, were dangerously injured, ami ate not expected to recover. ' Three other foremen weie rescued from the falling wall, but their injuries are not considered fatal.- AN AFFECTING Itlt'lDEMT. 1 The New Albany Ledger says : "An af.' feoting incident was related to us this morn. Injr, by a gentleman who was an eye witness to the dreadful scene on board the Reindeer, after lhe tecent explosion. Two families, one of five and the other of six persona, who were removing from Ohio lo Missouri, were all so badly scalded by the steam that they have since died. A little girl of five or six years of age, who belonged to one of these families, and whose tender flesh was literally boiled, was laid alongside of ber mother, whose spirit was passing, in an agony of pain, from its earthly tenement. Turning her eyes toward her mother, she said : 'Ma, il is so dark ; will we not soon gel home V Poor child ! Her eyes were darkened by lhe haze of death, and soon afterward her spirit was unfettered, and did go home, to live for ever with angels." Burning or tiizMonocacv BniDon. The bridge of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad over the Monocacy river, this side of the Fredeiick junction and fifty-eight miles from Baltimore, was, we regret to say. burned on Thursday evening.

Dkahi in tiik Pilpit. Rev. W. S. Loyd, lhe pastor of luo Baptist churches a few miles west of Montgomery, Ala., died on Sunday last while performing service. He had commenced his discourse, and after speaking a few moments, exclaimed J I feel, brethren, I am going," and instantaneously sank down iind expiied. doors, and be incensed to desperate action' by harangues from such rabid abolitionists and desperate fanatics as Booth. Paine, Bielfield and others. At five o'clock a dele, gation of tome hundred from Racine arrived on the steamer Pacific Joined by the entire abolition foroe of this place they marched in procession to the jail, Booth acting as Grand Marshall on horseback. Arriving at the jail they halted and addresses again made. The most violent denunciations were used against the Slave law, Judge Miller,' United Stales Judge, and all tha United Slates officers who were connected wilh lhe seizure of Glover. Thus the passions were inflamed and a de gree of excitement stirred lip that finally burst forth in demolishing in an instant, a portion or the jail enclosure. At the same time the jail door was broken in and the prisoner brought ont. He was immediatel mounted in an open two horsed wngon, and drove off amid the exulting shout of the mob For a moment the scene was truly awful. 1 he fite bells rang nn alarm. To me it was painful in the extreme. 1 shnl: never forge' the sickening ernolions I experienced. It seemed lo me as if n voice shouted clear and distinct above lhe wild phrenzy of lhe mob "have a care Ameiicans of your liberty." lhe crowJ followed the f!) mg fugitive to lhe south end of the city, where he soon disap. peared behind the hills, in full drive for parts, unknown. Thus ended this most disgraceful stain on the character of Milwaukee. The laws of the United States have been wantonly tram, pled nn. Before lhe hour appointed for i fair and impartial hearing the prisoner was forcibly torn from custody. Surely there is guilt somewhere, and are not lhe men who incensed lhe mob and led them otf (he guilty ones. The affair will certainly nol cui here or MtKvntikees' future interest will suffer. 1 have heard many persons say that if they could turn their property into ca&h thev would leave and invest their means some where else.
