At Tamaqua alone 31 persons have been • found. The destruction at Reading alone is bplieved to exceed $500,000, having destroyed 309 buildings of various kinds. At PottsvEle it is supposed the damage will exceed that amount. Census of 1850. An act supplementary to the act of 23d o May, 1850, has been passed by Congress, au thorizing the . Secretary of the Interior to extend • the time for taking the census, where, from circumstances beyond the control of the Mar shal, further time is rendered necessary. The act also provides for an increased compensa tion for taking the census of California, Ore gon, Utah, and New itlexico, and all persons from the States are to be enumerated as citi zens thereof, who may be found residing there at the time of taking the census; provided they left the United States before the Ist of June.— This will give to those Territories the advan tage of enumerating nearly all the emigrants of the present summer. By the recent Census it shows that the 13o rough of Pottsville has a population of 7,415. In 1840 it numbered 4,274; and in 1845, 5,224; showing an increase in ten years of 3,141, and in five years of 2,191. The Borough of Schuylkill Haven, has a pop ulation of 2,061. In 1840 the population was 988, arid in 1845, 1,640; showing an increase since 1840 of 1,073, and since 1845 of 421. Illinersville has a population of 2,964. In 1840 it was 1,266, and in 1R45, 2,180, showing an increase hi 10 years of 1,698, and in 5 years of 784. Tamaqua has a population of 3,500. The Prize Song. The committee of five gentlemen appointed to award the prize of two hundred dollars, to be paid by Barnum, for the beat song, to be sung by Jenny Lind as a Greetirg to America, have made their report, which is published in the New York Tribune. The number of songs they examined was over seven hundred, ma ny of which were destitute of any poetical merit. Two were selected by the committee as being in many respects, equally deserving of the prize. The one of these two received the unanimous vote of the committee, as be ing worthy of the prize, because of its superi ority over the other in its adaption to music.-- The author is Bayard' Taylor, and he is ac cordingly pronounced the successful candi date.

IThe House of Representatives, on Saturday last, carried out the good work of passing the California and Utah Bilk. This is a good day's work, and it will be hailed with ac clamation by :the people; everybody rejoices that those vexed and dangerous questions have been settled in a manner likely to produce satisfaction to all parties, except a few juror rigable disunionists, who will soon however, hide their heads in shame and mortification. The Washington "National Intelligenrer," in announcing the passage of the two bills on Friday, New Mexico and Texas bills, says as follows: • "The passage of these important measures will satisfy all reasonable merr of every section, and give peace and quiet to the country. The bills Were passed by a small majority, it is true; but the scant majority was no test of the true sense of the House. For it was remark ed, by a sagacious member, after the vote was announced, that he had no doubt the re sult gave joy to at least four-fifths of the mem bers of the House. Our hearts are too full of sense of joy on ,this event for any comment upon it to-day. When Decatur was bearing dowW on the Macedonian, and ready to open his batteries on her, an officer came up and said, "Sir, the men wish to cheer." "Let them take the ship And then cheer," said he. Now, then, friends all! Three times three cheers for the Union of the States, and those who have, in the Councils of the Nation, gallantly stood by it ! The "Southern Press," the disunion advo cate in Washington, on the other hand pro nounces the Union and the representative sys tem both failures, when the House can he found, voting so oppositely as did on these bills.— The question, it says, now goes to the people —and first to Texas and Georgia. We have no doubt that the response will be in favor of the Union." • 4,1 ' •,(- Mr. Toombs, of Georgie; is s'atisnod;; . Ond: some southern men believe the Georgia and Nashville Conventions will be abandoned. The Catliferniwmeasure passed as,qUiet -as a private bill. On Monday Congress will probably agree to adjdurn before this Month expires. t: A new epoch begins from this day., There was only one man in the ilouw to-cloy who de clared for resistance. The National•llotel,Twher e Mr. Clay board., is illuminated, and the Marine band is playing before the House. The friends of the Branch Mint assure us they will pass the bill•this session. Mr. Attorney General Crittenden waited on General Houston this morning, wading through mud and a drenching rain, to congratulate him on the•passagenfohe boundary bill. l-I said . . "General, I have come to congratulate you and the country upon a restoration of peace and tranquility. My heart is lighter than it has been for a year." Senator Douglass will, on Monday morning, when the Texas Boundary bill is brought to the Senate, move that the House amendment, aid inn New Mexico, be concurred in. The Sun atots have conferred on the subject, and a may jority are in favor of it. Gen. Houston informs me, that as soon as the bill is signed by the President, he w•ill:start for Texas to induce the Legislature of that State to accept its provisions. I tn. Iderstand that a joint committee of the Texan Legislature have reported a bill, raising 3000 troops ; to be despatched forthwith to San ta Fe, and recommend the use of the entire re• 'sources of the State to 'enforce the jurisdiction of Texas over the disputed. Territorl. There is news that the passage of Mr. Pearce's Sen ate bill was viewed unfavorably by the Legis lature of that State, especially the dance res pecting the payment of money. It is denied that Congress have power to dismeniies. the State, or to dispose of any part of tliel'erritory in dispute, without submitting the question di• reedy to the people. The election of a Sena tor the joint session resulted in the choice of Rusk. Heavy Claim against Pranoe A claim of the Napoleon family against France for about fifty millions, is to be present ed before the tribunals. When the people took the helm of GOvernment, in 1792, the govern. meat property passed from the bands of the Bourbon family to the State. At the fall of Na poleon, the imperial property shared the same fate. The Bourbons were installed into their properties, and the palms Royelovltich re-bap. tized Palais Egalite, restored to the younger branch. The Republic is the first to give the example of permitting former monarchs to re. tain all the property acquired by virtue of their former office. Louis Phillippe is now the own er of extensive domains iu France, paid for in one way and another, out of the public treasu ry—beyond !lib original property of the family of Orleans. The dowry of the Duchess of Or leans, is acknowledged as one of the debts of the Republic. The Iwo magnificent gel leties of paintings in the Louvre, the Spanish and Stundish galleries, have been surrendered to Louis Phillippe as his private property. A New Idea.

Wallis) says that ifolonel Tem ple Tebbets, formerly of Lewistown Falls, Me., cut a' tree of the Redwood species, in California, which was two hundred and fifty„ our feet high, and measured at the top two feet in diameter, 'and at the butt twelve feet in diameter. The tree was worked into lumber one hundred and forty feet from the butt, where it measured five feet in diameter. There were made from this giant of the forest 110,000 shingles, 6,000 clap. boards, 4,000 three by four joists twenty-two feet long; and there were left, at a moderate cal culation, from seventy to eighty cords of wood. The clapboards were sold for $5O per thousand, the shingles for $35 per thousand, the joists for $375 per thousand, and the 'retnaining part of the tree would readily sell in this city, for fire wood, at $4O per cord; thus, at a moderate cal culation, there was derived fro m the working of this mammoth dweller of the primeval Forest the neat little sum of 11,350 dullars.—Nav Orfrans Picartneea Black Knots an Plums.—Whatever he the cause of this disaster, there need be no difference or difficulty with regard in its prevention. Excision and burning of the affected branches has proved completely effectual where promptly anti unre mittingly applied. Some, indeed, have comp plained of failure; but in these cases the disease appears to have mpde great progress before the remedy was applied; or else the operation was not. followed up on every successive appearance of the excrecenses. • 111 Some readers will remember to have seen no tices of the efncaey' of washing the branches in strong brine. Some instances have lately no, curred where the application of soft soap has given a similar result ;and an acquaintance has very successfully applied a mixture of soft soap and salt. The excrecences, if recent, soon with er and disappear. It may however, that some parts of the trees or remote branches may be inaccessible; and that excision may be the easiest of the two. Incendairy ThrealB.—Some scoundrel has been writing anonymous letters to the citizens of Lan caster, conveying information of a pretended plot for the destruction of the city of LancaSter by in. cendiarism, and warning the people to be on their guard against it.
