He (the Preeldent) stated that after "the ordinance, had been passed, 4his Clerk re ceived from the agent of the Railroad Com pany Abe. usual fee for having it `recorded, giving a receipt for the name, and laving thirty days in which to attend to the record ing. In the meantime, the rescinding reso lution was. passed, and the Clerk was thus placed in a very difficult position. Believing, with others, that an ordinance, could not be repealed by a resolution, and acting tinder ! advice, he bad it recorded.

The remarks of both these gentlemen were exceedingly interesting, and were listenedlo with marked attention by the large , audience present. • The Soldiers' Religious Aid Committee, ap pointed at a previous meeting, submitted a report, giving a detailed account of their labors in the way. of collecting funds for the purpose-of supplying the soldiers with appro priate reading matter.

'; • We need not prodneetitatistice: to convince our readers of the importan oii;and increasing magnitude of the oil trade..... The evidences are beheld on every hand—the acres of bar rills on the wharves, the numerous warehouses stored with oil, the large and constantly in creasing number of 'refineries, the employ mentgiven to manufacturers, railroads, steam boats, , coopers, hoop-iron makers, teamsters, and' others, indicate the extent and value of the oil trade. On the Philadelphia and Erie Raiircool alone, the shipment has increased form 325 barrels in 1859, to 134,927 barrels in 18111. During the first two weeks-in this month, 14,0011 have been shipped over this road, end the total . shipments fur the month. will reach 30,000. And yet the shipinents exhibited by the Philadelphia and Erie Rail road is not one sixth of the entire business done. We have' no means of ascertaining the amount of oil brought to this market by the Allegheny river, by steamboats, flats, and other craft.' The quantity is very large, supplying softie twenty-five or thirty l'efinef lea, besides the amount sent east by the Penn sylvania Railroad. The Erie Eitension canal also furnishes a means of transporta tion for oil, to Erie, where large quantities are shipped. It is estimated that the wells on Oil creek now yield 75,000 barrels of credo oil er month, or 900,000 barrels a year. If the Erie road should transport . 30,900 barrels each month of this year, the trade would show an aggregate of 360,000, still only about one third of the trade. A produce of 75,000 bar rels of crude oil per month involves an outlay of not less than $lO per barrel, or $750,000 a month in purchasing barrels, transportation to market, refining, &c. So that fur a whole year's yield of 900,000 barrels, the expendi ture would be nine millions of dollars. -The niarketlor all this oil is found not Only in the United States, .bat across the Atlantic, in England and France, as will be seen by the annexed extract from the circular lately is sued by Mr. Alexander Macrae, oil and pro duce broker in Liverpotl : "Peraotrou, Ott IV sm. OlL.—The in troduo eion of this article is taking tremendous strides, though it does not surpass the predie tien_in my first circular—namely, that it would be second only in extent to cotton. I will-even ge a step further, and venture to ,assert that if the rocks and wells of Penasyl vinky-Canatia And other districts continue their exudation at the present rate of supply, the valits , of the -trade in this oil may even etitial American cotton. Montreal (internally, and likely externally,by this time) iti lit pith the white refined, and I can see no reason why London.and Liverpool should not also, fur the oil gas distilled from -the. raw petroleum is immensely sosperior iind much more brilliant thatt.eur own coal 'gas. For years we have sent coals-to America for - her gasworks, and it will be a singular freak of events if she and Canada should now supply no with a better expedient.' Invested interests will perhaps stay it for the moment; bat will they ultimate ly 7 The refined for burning (known-in this country as parafine oil, and of which about 500 tons a week are sold) has hem ,selling at £3O to £4O per ton (of 252 gallons) for yellow to white, while the crude varies in value front to £25, according to test.-. The merits of the petroleum will be better understood when importers are informed that, besides the uses already named, lubricating oils of every color and specific gravity can be obtained from It; wax, also, for the manufacture of 'parafine ealudes, napths, and consequently be i ptole (from which the fashion; Ile dyes, magenta, rosenine, anneline, etc., are obtained,) pitch, etc., all of them having several other appli cations. It is reported on the very best au thority that they have discovered from it now en available substitute for spirits of turpen tine for paints, and also a solvent for India rubber—results, I understand, that they have not effected in America or Canada, and the importance of which cannot be over-estimated. In my first circular was stated that some 1000 barrels of cru de and refilled were on the way to this country ; and the London Times. of the 13th inst., mentions 8000 barrels on the way to London. There are 111,000 barrels now coming to Liverpool, and 200 barrels to Glas gow ; in all about 20,000 barrelK, or £lOO,OOO sterling, and the trade not six months old, a simple tithe of what we want. American hostilities and the ice in the St. - Lawrence (although we have still St. John's, New Brunswick) may stop supplies to setae extent, but that the future will vmdieato the ear:eta -o)ns I have so regularly' registered i.-my; weekly advice, requires little incidence to affirm. All this, if the mineralogists and geologists of the west are correct mile the ex udation'. and why not? The coal a Ea gland is but a ' bitaminoui solid, the petrolitim of America and Canada a superier bituminous Raid." Another Lottery Humbug. For some time past a man' named .James Collier, residing at No. 232 Pennsylvania enne, over Kruesk*Ve grocery store, has been swindling the eredulons--genentily silly girls—by means of a- small lottery scheme. He printed a handbill, setting forth that on a certain, day, a drawing would take place at 232 Pennsylvania avenue, when the. following articles would be distributed among the hold ers of tickets : Ladies' silk and common dress patterns; five pound packages of coffee; gen tlemen's coat, vest . and pant patterns; gold and silver watches gold plated finger rings, breastpins and lockets, ate. The tickets wore fifty centi - eacti, but when the holders came-to draw,' they could never realise anything be yond five or ten cents worth of coarse envel opes and paper. The handbill provided that parties must be satisfied -with what they're, sewed, as everything would be done "on the square,' and no choice would - be given. Some two or three girls, in hopoeof getting a nice silk dross; had been gulled intopurchas ing tickets, but were so , sadly disappointed that they_pronounced Mr: Collier a humbug and aeheat. .Mayor Wilson, hearing of these operations, ordemd thetirrest of Collier, who had arranged for another draw on Wednesday next, but . having been" drawn" himself by police, his scheme falls through. There were no silk dress goods, no f watches, jewelry, or rings tuund - - , --nothing but an endless variety' of note paper and envelopes, of every inferi or.uality. . • T ime accused iliemed very much mortified at his arrest, and 'promised never to attempt "raising the wind" in this manner again. His wife-and children werelying sick, and the Mayor, not wishing - to, commit him to-Jail, fined him $2O and - costs, coder an act of As, senility, which be'paid and was discharged— with the understanding thathis. lottery busi ness should be abandoned. Hotel Robbery. On Friday night last, a man pretending . to be a drover put up at the Union Hotel, Alle gheny Cattle Yards, where be registered hie . name as J. Mason, Butler county. He roomed with a cattle dealer named C. Ward, of Bucynis, Crawford county, Ohio.' Dn_Saturday morning early Mason was missed from his room` and when Warfi r got np be dis covered that his - pocket book had been stolen, containing 8 . 121 n money.

An informa tion hasbeen made against him, before Mayor Drum, but he had evidently left the city im mediately after the robbery.

As oil is new most abundant end cheap, and as our Manufacturers, steamboat owners, and others, are interested in the economy of fuel, as well as in the consumption of 'Smoke, we subjoin for their benefit the plan of the invention : It is required that the coal, as it becomes partially coked in the.front of the furnace, be partially prislieerluick to the rear part of the ftirnace, altrays; - _ before charging with fresh, in order to keep up an intense heat at that point over which thasmolui and gases must pass. Then a steam pipe enters with one or more points of ,entrance on either side of the furnace or fire box, at the back part, and di rectly oppositei and under the flues or tubes. 1 The oil pipe laving an open funnel at its upper end to .s ire the oil, and also to facil itate the inhale ion of oxygen from the atmos phere, is insert d into the steam pipe at its point of entrap , ant by an internal arrange ment it thor n hly titends or diffuses all the combustible producte. The steam is at once decomposed and setsita oxygen and hydrogen free. The oil being partly converted into gss, making it still more ireflammable, the oxygen of the steata.unites with the carbon of the oil and the carbon of the smoke and na, and combustion - is complete, as the hy drogen is consumed 'by its own natural in flammability. A recent experiment on board the steamer T. J. Patten has demonstrated that the saving in fuel will be twenty-five per cent., besides obviating the smekenuisanee. We commend the subject to the attention of our manufac turers, railroad men and others. The oil pro ducers will be considerably interested in the success of the invention, as it will open to them a new market for their oil, which is now down to a very low figure. What a glorious thing it would be Unit the smoke and 'soot created by our thousanda of furnaces, could be consumed ere they reached the chimney tops I We would then be blesaed with more sunshine, a purer atmosphere, cleaner linen, a better name abroad, and be known as the "Smoky City" Domino Who'll be the first to introduce the new improvement ? Letter tram Rasp's Battery. Potter or Rocca, Mn., Jan. 22, 1862. Our Battery ' - is very much scattered at present. The' Bret section of two guns is stationed at Ilancoe*, a distance of 60 tidies frbia here, being ordered there with great dis patch, occasioned by a report to the effect that Jackson was marchingagainst thatplace with a largo force: Oar eecond section is divided. One gun is at Sandy Rook and the other here with the regiment. Those left of us at this point are, :very comfortably quartered in a large building on the bank of the Potomac. I was just thinking if the rebels would take ad vantage of this, and throw a shell across, what a scatterment they geoid make of the boys. We have been ,mastered in fur pay, and are now anxiously waiting for the Paymaster. His coming is like everything else in war, Very uncertain. This division has marching orders, and I think we will be on the move soon. We aro all praying for the day that will nee on on the battle-field engaged' the enemy. The health of the company is good, there being but two on the sick list. The soldiers bete have a poor chance of getting liquor, as the dealers in the article are not allowed to sell them any. But one day last week there was ono of the soldiers seen drunk. Be was made tell where he procured, the spirits. The officein sent a guard over to the store indicated and made a general search.. Finding three barrels they stored in the heads and then 'arrested the owner, who is now boarding in the regimental guard-house. A portion of our boys who formerly composed the Western Guards, under Capt. J. D. McGill, (now Lieutenant in the Battery) were the re cipients of a box containing quite a variety of articles suitable for' a soldier, being the favor of Miss M. A. l,othrop, of the First ward, Allegheny city. ;They now take this way of returning her their sincere thanks, hoping when an opportunity offers they, will be found worthy of all suoiti favors. D.
