Oil Shipments. —The Echo arrived from Franklin yesterday with a full load. Sho start ed from Franklin with 2*13 barrets of oil, from the (following well* : Arnold & Drum, 100; Horner, Clawson & Co., 12 ; Phillips, Frow <fc 00., 37; Nellisburg, (above Pit bolo,) 84; Enterprise, 28 ; Charters Valley, 22. Of this 100 barrels was put off at tbe Salt Wor ks, near Tarentum. Tho LoClairo also came down yes terday, but brought no oil, having been unable to got above Franklin Bridge, owing to the high water. Tbe Venango was oxpoctod to arrive last night. Hot Often Opt —lt was stated yesterday that the Thompson well, at Smith’s Ferry, had given out, having been pumping water since Monday last. Wo are informed that this superabundance was caused by the removal of the tubing, which it was found necessary to change, and when the well again commenced pumping, a large portion of tho product was water. Yesterday the well was yielding oil in large quantities. A new company called the Foxburgh Oil Company, has been formed in Kittanning, who intend to commenco operations in a few days, at the mouth of Clarion river, with a sanguine prospect of having a “good oil well.” The Westmoreland Oil Company have been boring in Allegheny township, Westmoreland county, since the beginning of tbe monih, on the farm of Hr. John Wood, of Freeport, Armstrong county, and have struck a vein of oil at the 4apth of twenty feet, and a second a l , sUty*two feet. They are now at tbe depth of forty feet, with every indication of oil and prospects of success. A company from Now York have leased the right to about one hundred acre* adjacent to the Westmoreland 0.l Company's land. A company from Allegheny city have paid to Hr. Wynoll, of Allegheny township, the sum of five hundred dollars for the right to bore four wells, and on about as many acres of land. This they pay whether they got oil or not The WellsvUle Pafrl oi has tho following items : Hr. Reese, of Allegheny city, commencod boring on the farm of Noel iieck, in North field. Summit county, on Monday. Ho thinks the indications for oil are promising. Mr. A. M. Whitaker, of Bedford, has leased sixty acres of the adjoining farm of Mrs. Fell, and Is forming a company, and will commence op erations soon. The oil fever is raging exten sively in Bedford E. K.. Collins, Esq., of ocean steamship no toriety, about four miles from WelUvilio, on Big V eilow creek, put bis pump in motion for the first time, on Friday evoning last, and had not pumped but a few hours until tbe “slippery fluid” came forth. The big well at Smith's Ferry was “timed” for twenty-four hours on Tcunday, and it was estimated to yield seventy-two barrel*. Mr. Rosenthal has disposed of hit one fourth to*, terest in this well for^lO,OOv—>4,ooo in hand, and ofbnihTy payments. Mr Uriah bomb, who owr.s the iand n which ibis well is situated, sold hu eighth interest lor $7,000, and also his eighth in tbe Pattm wi.:i, tbe mill and distillery property for $1& * »* ,f *. Qapt.

A correspondent of Iho Cincinnati $ mmer cUil, speaking of '.be Oil S; r trg Kuo "Ww!*, in -theKanabwa district, sayt: ‘ A Wheeling com pany bai Je»sed tba entire run North of the railroad, nearly two thousand aen*. ar.d have sunk »ome tea or twelve wells. Ljuile a num ber are pumped out, and only three or four are producing anything—and only one U of any great value.

Mb' nil’s Illuminating Tilts, Most of our readers who have vucoJ New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago or Cm cinnali, bavo observed the tiles montlonod at tbe bead t of Ih’e article, the invention of Thaddeui llyatt, of New V..rk, which are coming into general use in tbe construc tion of all first class stores in the otic*. These lights consist of small giase lenses about one and a half inches in diameter and three-fourths of an inch in tdi-km*-, set in lead, perfectly water tight, ur.« naif an Inch apart, in cast iron p!ati*» properly titled to receive them. These platrg as tb«*y uro termed by the in von tor, ‘T it animating Tile#,”) are made of any shape, and of almost any size needed, and are inserted in the sidewalk, giving a powerful and excellent light to the basements below, tbeir upp«*r mrface being uaed for the same purposes and In tbo fame man ner 58 the rest of the sidewalk, being tjuile aa strong and as able to resist uninjured all ordi nary shocks. They are usually laid in a continuous platform from four to mi feet wide, next to tho building, and their use has led to the very general adoption of the so-called “basement extension,'' which consists in run ning the basement out to the wail utuUr }he curbstone, thus gaining a large additional amount of the most desirable, because best lighted, room heretofore lost. These '‘lights and “basement-extensions” are fast super seding the old method ot building with open iron gratings. They are also used as sky and fl >or lights in side of buildings and vaults, coal holes, &c\, and for other purposes. These latter are rnado of eight different sizes, siytcen to thirty-six inches in diameter, and aro also c instructed to order of any desired size. They are perma nent, durable and useful, g ving a pleasant light and excluding all moisture. Some few are in use in our own city, and mCTe would be were they readily obtainable. •In order to introduce them here, Messrs. Brown Brothers, pf Chicago, have established an agen cy with Messrs. Anderson & Phillips, No. 150 Water street, who will supply on favorablo terms, and in any quantity, Jhose desirous of using thorn. DVD A ITB& School Hoube Burked in' Incjcndiarie* —The Indiana Messenger of this woek says: **Tbe School House in Graham's District, Pine township, was burned to the ground on the 26th of February. It is supposed that it was set on fire by some of tbe scholars, who wished in this manner, to drive the teacher, to whom they appeared to have some objections, from his Mtuatipn* This conjecture seems probable from tbe faat that, a few days before the house was burned, three pr /our young men, (supposed to bo scholars,) having their faces blacked, and being otherwise disguised, entered the school house and threatened to whip the teacher if he did not quit tbe school before a specified time. This is the third school house which has been burned from tbe same ground within the past three years, and all are supposed to have been fired by incendi aries/’ Houbk ok Hkkl-ob.— Mayor Wilson yester day sent to the Kefuge t wo boys named Dono van end Murphy, tbo Ultor a son of James Murphy, rocently tried for murder and acquit. ted.

We are no admirer of the Stranger, seeing nothing in it but lachrymose improbabilities, but as it has been a long time since it was'played here, and the beneficiary stands unrivalled in the representation—hav ing had no compeer worthy of tbe name since Macready’s visit to this country, we doubt not it will prove attractive.

Tne house should, and doubtless will be crowded to overflowing. Held to Rail. — Levi W. Stewart, of the Keystone Hilliard Saloon, Federal etreot, and T. Heinrich, keeper of a beer saloon on tho same street, have been held to bail by Mayor Drum, on a charge of selling liquor to R'-bert Kennedy, a minor. On the hearing, Mr. Stow&rt contended that bo had sold the saloon to his barkeeper, but the latter, in an informa tion against Kennedy, some days before, for disorderly conduct, stated under oath that ‘*he whs Mr. S ewart’s bar keeper." Mr ILinrich alleged that the offence was committed through ignorance, as Kennedy appeared to bo over 21 years of age. Tho mother of the boy swore that he is only seventeen, and the Mavnf held the parties for trial * Serious Railroad A'Uujknt —An acci dent occurred on the Allegheny Valley lUil Road, to the up train, at Loe’s Station, on Sat urday evening, by wbich a man named O'Donnell, a resident of Kittanning, came noar losing bis life.

Session. —The Vice President laid be fore tbe Senate a letter from Mr. Chase re signing his seat as United States Senator from Ohio, and asking him to have the kindness to inform the Senate and Governor of Ohm. On motion of Mr. Lane, of Oregon, a copy was ordered to bo furnished the government of Ohio. The debate on the Inaugural was re.unud Mr. Wigfall in reply to Mr. Douglas denied that tbe former Union now exists. }Jo re peated there is no Union left. The scolded States will never suroly come back under any circumstances. Thoy will not live under the Administration. Withdraw your troops: make no attempt to collect tribute, and enter into a treaty with thoso States. Do this and you will have peace. S*nd your flag of thirty four stars thither, and it will be fired into, and war will ensuo. Divide the public property, make a fair assessment of tbo public debt. Mr. Douglas repeated what bo bad aaidy»-s* terday, that ho had carefully read the Inaugu ral for tbe purpose of ascertaining distinctly and certainly what was tbo policy of the new administration, and be came to this conclusion that it was tbe wish and purpose of tbe Presi dent to pursue a peaceful policy and avoid civil war. Hu had arrived at hi* conclu*d>n fairly and otndidly, and bad expressed his gratification at tbe result. If he had arrived at the conclusion that tbe inaugural meant war, ho would not have defended it. lie was with the President as far as the President was for peace, and would be against him when be departed from this linoW policy. Mr. Wigfall said, as the Senator from Illi nois seemed to bo speaking for the administra tion, and as masterly inactivity would not do, be would ask wbelhelytho Senator would ad vise tbo the trooja from Port .Sumpter and P3s|fmg, and tbo withdrawal of tbo foderal Hag frSmiibe borders of the cons federate Slates, nod no effort he made to levy tributes on foro.gn g.'ods. Mr. Douglas ‘Tapi ed that be was no part of tbe administration, sr:d therefore be could not speak for it, although he hoped he spoke the same sentiments which animated it on Ibis subject. Yet while he was not in its counsels or confidence, be should not toador it his ad vice untU it was asked for. (Suppressed ap plause in the galleries.) However,if the admin istration wanted the advice of the Senate, it could doubtless ask for it: he did not choose to proclaim what his policy would be, in view of the fact that as the Senator from Texas did not regard Mr. Lincoln, tbe guardian of his section of the country. It would hardly bo the part of wisdom to stale what his policy might be to one who may be so soon in tbe councils of the enemy and the commander of an army. Tbe debate was further continued between Messrs. Wigfall, Douglas and Mason. Tbe latter welved tbe inaugural as a declaration ol war, and said that if coercion was used towards tbe seceded States, or an army marched, the first shot fired wouid sever Virginia from the Union.
