Pieaideat Jodce of the Couok ‘ Pleat. Tht appointaunt, by hit excellency Gov ernor Curtin, of James P. Sterrett, of this to. be President Judge of the Court-of Common Piets of Allegheny county, in the won of Hon. Wm. B. McClure, deceased, is officially announced at Harrisburg. This ap pointment was not unlooked for, as Mr. Sterrett has been freely spoken of among the members of the Bar, as the gentleman likely to succeed the distinguished deceased in the arduous and responsible duties of President Judge of the 'Criminal Court Indeed we~may~say‘that; while' there wire other preferences expressed at the outset, the Bar or Allegheny, county finally joined in a unanimous request that the judicial mantle night fall upon him. This onaoimityon be half, of the profession is in itself a high com- Sliment to the ability and integrity of Mr. terrett, and indicates a degree of confidence eminently suited to the relationship which Is hereafter to 'exist- between them. The ap pointment being thus endorsed by the entire Bar, Judge Sterreit will enter upon bis .duties under the most farorable and pleasing au spices. * Mr. Sterrett is a native of Juniata county. Pa., and graduated at Jefferson College, (Can onsburg,) in 1845. Ho read law at Carlisle, and in the Law Department of the University of Virginia. He was admitted to the Bar in the Utter State, in the Spring of 1848, and joon after commenced the practioe-of law-in his native county.'. He removed to Pittsburgh in 1849, and dqjring the same year entered upon his profession here. In 2850 the well known law firm ef Penney k Sterrett was formed, and has been continued with remark able success and prosperity until the present time. . ,TMr. Sterrett goes upon the Bench with a vigorous constitution, a sound education, a dear intellect, calmness and dignity'of man ner, and a character above reproaoh. We congratulate the Bar and the public upon his appointment, and hope that he may realise tne full measure of success. It is proper here to state that Judge Ster rett’s commission wilt expire immediately after the next general eleotion, when a suc cessor will be cbossn by the people of the county. Phillips & Beat’s Glass Factory De stroyed by Fire. This morning, about four o’clock, the large glass manufactory of Messrs. Phillips. A Best, corner of Try and Second streets, oaught fire; and was totally destroyed. Teh small brick and frame tenements, belonging to the firm, and mainly occupied by employees, were either totally destroyed or damaged jo as to render them unfit for ooeupanoy. The works were in; operation, and rite fire resulted from an excess of fuel put into one of the fhrnaces, by'means of which the flames extended to the roof. The fire spread rapidly, and despite the ef forts of the firemen, the factory was left a mass of ruins—the walls, with the exoeption of the front on Second street, having fallen in as the timbers gare way^ Five two-story bricks, and two two-story frames, in the rear of the faotory, were almost entirely destroyed. On Second street, threa two-story frames were so badly damaged by water as to render repairs necessary. > ' / The factory was put in operation in 1640, and Bomo years subsequently was partially destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt in an en larged form, the main building being a three story brick, ninety feet in front by one hun •dred and sixty feet in depth. It was one of the largest establishments in the city, and gave employment Co a large number of hands. The loss of Jhe firm cannot bo accurately esti mated, but it is put down at between $30,000 and $40,000. The owners have an insurance of $lO,OOO, divided among three offices. The owners are enterprising, go-ahead business men, and will doubtless re-build works as soon as the weather will permit. The tenants in the bouses adjoining the factory had ample time to remove their goods, and only lose by damago sustained by. a-hasty removal. The firemen worked nobly, and succeeded in saving much, valuable property, in. the neighborhood. - About two o’clock this afternoon, a couple of young thieves, very gcnCooUy en tered thocommission house of L. H. Voit Si Co., Liberty street, during the temporary ab sence, of the attendants, one of whom stole a pocket book from the * drawer, 1 containing about $75 in papor, gold and silver. On leav ing the store ue banded the book to his ac complice, when both fled. They were de tected by parties in the neighborhood, who gave chase. Thebook was throwiraway, and the money picked up on the street. : The chap who rifled the drawer Was caught and taken to the Mayor’s office; where hp gavo -his name os George Moxmtjoy. _ He was lock ed up for a hearing. The other fellow waa arre»teder Governor Johnson, and, since the re-, bellion, aid-do-camp to Governor Curtin, has been appointed Adjutant General of tho State vice E..M. Biddle resigned. No better or more fitting appointment coaid have been' made. The Governor has been fortunate in thus securing for this important position a gentleman who has a large connection with is Departments, bothrbivil.jud military, that has rendered him thoroughly conver sant with their minutest dotails. This fart, together with his well known ability, urban ity of manner and business capacity, will in sure' him a highly successful administration, as is earnestly desired by bosts- of friends. Ho enters upon the discharge of his duties at once. F. P. Storritt has been appointed President Judgoof AUoghcny county tic* Judge Mc- Clure, deceased. . The Governor's Message will be sent to the iwo'Houses at noon to-morrow. The Honso of Representatives was called to order at noon by £. H. Rauch, Chief Clerk of tho last House, and the proceedings were opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Catted. Mr. Rowo, a Union Democrat, was olooted Speaker. The members wtro then qualified, and after some business resolutions, the Homo adjourned.

Berry, of Erie county.- The New_ York legiifatare->-Gor. Morgan’* Mensage. - Alba9y, Jrd. 7.—The Legislature met to day. The Governor's message briefly reviews the present of the cod* try, and says the State credit never stood higher, and the finances are in a satisfactory condition. The balance in the treasury in September, 1851, was $3,076,000, aUd the war tax bad; been reduced from $2,000,000 to $1,509,000, 40 percent, of the advance made by the State having beeo returned by the Federal Treas ury. He .recommends tbat the military drill and tactlos.be. introduced into all the State collegiate and academic institutions; that the .State’s proportion of the Federal’war tax be assumed at once. He also recommends legis lation to make the'State laws conform to those of Congress to improve the .efficiency and discipline of the State militia. The aggregate number of men raised "in the State for-tfaewar have been 180,578, of which 89,034 are now in the field, and there are 14,- 500 now in the State. , He recommends that the State Treasury shall receive snd disburae the volunteer's allotments to-their families. He alludes to the. Harbor defences, urging that prompt features to obtain Congressional appropriations to; provide for the coast de fences are necessary, recommending that' the State proceed sit once, with thework. War with England it deprecated as fraught with untold disasters,at this timo, when the State’s resources are so largely drawn npon to over? whelm the rebellion. He concludes with the declaration that New 'York will do everything to sustain the Union. ‘ Latest from Ifaiicoclc* ' Fbederice, Jan. 7.— The latest .advices from Hancock upto last night, reports that the rebel General Jackson had retired, leaving only a battery and a detachment of infantry to guard it on eight.

WAskwOTOs Clrri Jan. 7. Huua*.—A message vu reoeived from the President, with the documents, in relation to the Treat affair; ' Mr.TaUahdlgbam, of OMo, took occasion to express his dissatisfaction at the eoune Denned bj the Government in deli to ring up Messrs. Mason and Slidell, remarking that in less than three months there will he war with Great Britain, or else we will tamely submit to the recognition of the Southern Confed eracy, and tltobreaking up of the blookade. ~ Mr. Hutchins, of Ohio; replied, saying that his colleague had heretofore been' opposed .to coercion as to the South, while now he Is against delivering up Mason and Slidell. The position of his colleague was. liable to the sus picion that his belligerent* attitude was one which would benefit the rebels;by getting np a war between England aodLthe United States —a war which the B*nth desired with that view. Mr. Thomas* of Mass., argued to show a justification of the capture of Mason and Sli dell, and that England did os grievous wrong in making the demand, which was uiynstand insolent-ia- spirit.. Shehas.do.ne that which, has implanted In the Amerioan breast a sense of wrong which will await the opportunity to strike the blow of retributive justice. The message and ‘documents were referred to the Committee on Foroign Affairs. Mr. Stevens, of Pa;,"moved the previous question, under the operat on of which the documents were referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. ' The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union on the bill for the payment of sundry oivil expenses.* ' Mr. ValUpdigham entered into an explana tion of his position, hurling back the insinu ations that he was giving aid and eomfort to the enemy. His colleague was not the proper one to judge as to his motives:' Mr. Wright corrected a garbled report of a speech he re cently mede on the. oocaalon of a serenade. The. reporter, in laying that he declared in favor of the extension of slavery, was guilty of.an unmitigated falsehood. He was willing to do all in his power to-put down rebellion. Under the present circumstances he would have no controversy with the Administration for surrendering Mason and Slidell, for we have as muoh on oar hands now as we can sustain; but if -theta men had to be surren dered, it should have been done under protest, and we should remember that this was a ques tion hereafter to be settled with England. In the course of a colloquy between Mesirtl Vallandighain and Wright, the former isketi the latter whether he would be in favor of la war with England if she breaks the blookade? Mr. Wright replied that he would be in favor of a war whether the "blockade were broken by England or any other foreign pow er, for we would then be placed in a position from which we could not escape. Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, said he had voted for the resolution oC thanks.to Captain Wilkes. The House had thus . endorsed the act. Not so with the- Administration. He did notwish to soo a war with England. He did not feel humiliated by - the - statement ’of the Trent affair. Let us settle our domestic difficulties, and then be prepared, for future events. Bat what have we done ? Why aro GOO,OOO men in the field?- Where is the evi dence of a determined yr&r that we have hith erto exhibited for. foreign nations?’ We are carrying on the war npon>-peace principles, and the main duty performed daring the last seven months, has been to prevent desertions from the enemy..

If West Point was abolished, military tactics would be 'taught all over the country. Ho was opposed to' increasing tho number of Cadets, especially at.this time; V Mr. Clark, of N.-H., said he would not vote for the bill now, but he-eoutd not join on the tirade against West Point. Treason hadtah taught more in IheSenate of tho United States than in the school at-[West Point. • Mr.* Wilson, of Mass., was ready to vote for the bill on 'the ground of economy.

The Union men in'Johnson county are so exasperated at the outrages of “seoesh” that nothing but the federal troops will save Lex ington and Warrensburg from being burned. Of the movements of Col.

A train ef about 20 -wagons and 75 men is reported to have been captured about five miles north-east of by a party of rebels. Col. Thayer, of the First Nebraska Regiment, at Georgetown, promptly dispatched.a party in pursuit. Female Prisoners-»Gen. Shields.
