Before Judgo Hampton. In thd caee of Meurum vs. The Com* monwealth Insurance Com- any—action on a policy oftnaurance—the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for sl,l2zi County Inspector vs. City Guager. In . the-Court of Quarter Sessions, on Saturday morning, a motion in arrest of judgment and for a new trial in the case of Junes LUtell, City Guager. convicted of misdemeanor, some ten days since, was' argued fully by J. F. Slagle, Esq , City Solicitor, in behalf of the city, Taos. M. Marthali* £-q., the application. Hr, Llttell was elected City Guager by the City Councils in February last and in April following the Legislature passed an Act authorizing the appointment of a Liquor Inspector, under which Gov. Cur tin appointed John Smitley. Both parties have Binoe been acting and Litteil was in dicted for misdemeanor in continning to guage liquors after the new law had been passed and convicted. Hr. Slagle held that no offence had been committed by Hr. Litteil, that the act contained no penalty and he was not in> dictible; that hie duties did not interfere with those of Mr. Smilley and that Mr. L. was not necessarily superseded by tbe appointment of the County Inspector, Hr. Harshall opposed the motion, stat ing that in his view of the matter, tbe au thority supposed to have been conferred upon Hr. Litteil by the city was really none at all, or if authority, had been su« Serseded by the action of the Legislature. Smitley was liable to a penal prosecu tion If he neglected his sworn duty to in« spect all liquors for exportation from the county and the State would not make him indictable for non-performance of duty if he was to be interfered with by ordinances of the city of Pittsburgh, which he held were annulled by the act of Assembly. Hr. Coyle, for Mr. Smitley, followed in opposition to tbe motion, citing some au thoritroin support of tbe position assumed, one a similar case in Philadelphia county. Mr. Slagle also quoted some authori ties and the Court took the -papers, prom ising a decision at an early day.

In the District, Court on (Saturday after* noon, Judge Williams gave his decision on the motion to discharge Nicholas Walton, arrested here for defrauding the govern ment The first information was in his opinion, defective, not setting forth where the offence of false protense had been com mute 1. The second, for conspiracy, was punishable here, where the party must be tried or finally committed upon the charge. The commitments were for further hear ing and the' Coart would not interfere until the man was finally committed, if the hearing should so remit—provided a hearing was given him within a reasonable time,lt seemed, however, as if a crimi nal prosebtition had been resorted to for the purpose of obtain ing money, properly the subject of a civil action. Walton was accordingly remanded until Wednesday next, the day fixed for the hearing. The woman has been discharged by Mayor Wilson, but still remains in the city. The money found with her is still in the hands Of the Mayor and will be re tained by him until some legal decision concerning its disposition is made. It is possible that Walton may be re turned to St. Louis before the time fixed for further hearing, on the crder of the Provost Marshal, or upon a requisition from the Governor of Missouri, which will dbubtlecs be forthcoming. Wo do not think he can escape by any legal techni cality; he must go back to Bt. Louis and meet the charges made against him. Militam: Officers. —The following list oontainsv the names of the officers ap pointed by Bie Governor for the. first regi ment in General Jamea’ brigade, viz: Col. William Gray Murray; Lieutenant Colo nel. Thos. C. McDowell: Major, Walter Barrett; Quartermaster, S.

Dr. B. is favorably, known in our community, \ as former pastor of Ohriat M. E. Church, j Thcsewho sat undor his ministry will not i doubt his ability to do ample justice to the I subject he proposes to discuss. In B<i-1 more, his present residence, he is known I as an uncompromising Union man. In I the present agitations of the country it is I natural to enquire what our troubUs por*l tend. This is what Dr. B. proposes to an* I swer. Hie views are almost entirely new and origtnal,and wo bespeak for him what he deserves, full and appreciative audi ences. Bad Bora.—The juveniles of the Sixth and Eighth wards have for some time been indulging in civil war, rivalling in intensity and bitterness that of the famed white and red noses. Every evening they have pitched battles, with stones, sticks and other missiles, within the ward pre cincts, much to the annoyance of the clti* j zens thereof, a number of whom have I made complaint to Mayor Wilton, and he I has determined to abate tbe nuisance. If the offense.it again repeated they will be arrested and punished severely. One of the boys who has been engaged in these combaW was arrested on Saturday, taken I before the Mayor, and Hoed five dollars I and costs. ] The Irish Brigade.— The work oTdfc ganizing a company or companies for Meagher’s Irlsh Brigade is being com menced on a kbK3 basis and under the auspices of gentlemen of such energy as must ultimately ensure suocess. The fi nance committee are at work and have already secored subscriptions amounting to something over $6OO. •' Among the larger contributors we observe the following:— JobnM&okin, $5O; James MoAuley, $5O; John Savage, $5O; Michael O’Hara, $6O; Henry Kane, $2O In addition to the above the Bank of Pittsburgh on Saturday I subscribed $lOO, an example worthy of general imitation by our moneyed institu tions. It is the intention to raise one company, to bo commanded byCapt. Kane, an experienced soldier, and one or two I others, as it is bolieved that two or three I hundred recruits can easily be obtained here. We wish all success to this patriot- I io movement, and expect to see Allegheny county famish a splendid body of men for J the Irish Brigade. I The application for the discharge ol John Weaver, charged with being impli cated in the death of Mrs. Earhardt, was not passed upon on Saturday, owing to the absence of Judge McClure. Earhardt, the husband uf deceased, denies beiDg,; married and says be has only taken a young girl into his house as a housekeeper, i Choked to Death —A lad named Hood, five or six years of age, whose pa rents reside in White Oak Alley, was choked to death on Saturday by a piece of apple core which lodged in bis throat.

We copy the following account of the recent disaster at Hoover & Co’s refinery, on the Ist inst., from the Venango Special tor: On Friday evening last, about 0 o’clock, a dull heavy explosion was heard by our citizens, and in a few moment- after, the cry of fire. The rapidity of the flames and the dense smoke told that the conflagra tion proceeded from some of the refineries or oil wells at the lower end of town. Our people turned out eu masso, to find the refinery of our enterprising fellow citi, zen. Col. James P. Hoover, in a masß of of flames and doomed to destruction. Mr. John Arundel, foreman of the establish ment, who was the only person in the building, was seen to rush from the flames with his entire person enveloped in lire.— HU object seems to have been to make for the run, close by, bat he fell from pain and exhauston. His clothing was in stantly stripped off, and the unfortunate man carried to. Marshall’s Hotel, where everything that hnman skill could accom plish was done to relieve his Bufferings.— ie was sensible and apparently suffered but little, considering the awful nature of Mb injuries. He complained of feeling cold and uttered exclamations about his wife and children, who are in Cincinnati, A few minutes before the fire he had fin ished a letter to his wife, which lay before film on the desk where he was Bitting. In starting to escape, he seized the letter, and it was found In his hands when he fell—a last sad memento to his family. He died at 2 o’clock on Saturday morning. Mr. Arundel is highly Bpokon of by those who knew him, and leaves a wiie and three children to mourn for his melan choly fate. Dr. Gillet and Drs. N. D. and S. <i. Snowden were promptly on the ground, bat the sufferor was beyond the reach of medical aid. It is the general supposition that the building became filled with gas, which was ignited by the stove or a lamp burning in the office where Mr. Arundel was writing. The explosion heard is attributed to the gas. Col. Hoover’s loss will range at from $lO,OOO to $12,000, with no insurance. —- About $lOO worth of lumber, belonging to Mr. Wm. Campbell, was also destroyed. The planing mill and extensive lumber yard of Mr. Brough were in imminent danger, but were saved by the exertions of the people present. Fortunately, there was but little wind at the time, or the loss would have been much heavier. The loss oflife at the burnt well on Oil Creek and this last melancholy disaster admonish all'concerned that oil is a dan ■ gerouß article in proximity to fire, and {that the greatest caution should be used by iby all connected with wells or refineries. We make these remarks as general, and ' not because there was lack of care in this instance, for we believe the victim of the accident was 'a careful and competent man. Broke his Less.—J. W. Biohey, a young man employed at a trashing ma* chine in Centre township, Greene county, fell from the plaform last week and frac tured both lege, ono bo badly that amputa tion was necessary. w *. H. a ,M* ~ dTKi’HBNsoN, a leading mem* ber of the Mercer Bar, died in that bos rough, on "W ednesday last, in the 63d year of hie age, Mr, Stephenson haa been prom* inent before the people for many years as a leading politician of his party and waa a man of ability. The Antecedents of “Colt’ Porter, the Swindler. On Saturday we gave the particulars of a swindle perpetrated on the Carlisle De posit Bank by Col. Isaiah J. Porter,by sell** ing them a forged dratt purporting to be drawn by a house in this city. From the Harrisburg pipers wo gather tho follow*' tag: 1 appears that he h«u ha? boon in Harrlßburg several timf*s during Usl sum mer. His name is L*iah J. Porter, and he belong to York. On his first visit he was in undress uniform, and introduced himself to & number of gentlemen of our city—among others General W. H. Miller. He informed the General that he formerly resided in Missouri, where he had defeated Jeff. Thompson for District Attorney, and when the war broke out, be engaged in the three months’ service, taking an active part in numerous ahirmisbes. Ho was at the balilo of Bull Ran, too, according to his story. Happening to be in Washing ton, he took charge of a company, and was among the last who left the field—for which service be was appointed an aid on General Schenck’s staff. These stories were plausibly told, and by a man with most accomplished manners and excellent ad dress, and Genoral Miller had no reason to believe them. Several weeks ago Porter came to this city again, this time in full Colonel’s uni form. He called upon General Miller at his office, and informed him that be had | been elected Colonel of a regiment of Mis souri if usi leers, and the General congratu lated him upon bis success. Subsequently he called upon Mr. C. C. Matthews, ana ordered a uniform for his brother,who was to be tho Adjutant of bis regiment* offer ing to make a deposit on the payment of the same. That same'* evehtng’General Miller called at the Buehier House for the purpose of introducing a friend tO; the Governor, when Colonel Porter proposed accompanying them, to whioh no objec tion was made, and General Miller bad the , honor of introducing the Colonel of Mis souri Fuslleers to His Excellency. Later in the evening, it occurred to the General that It would be as well to make some in quiries in regard to Isaiah J. Porter, Col. of Missouri Fusileers, who was so fast winning his way to his good graces, and accordingly ho called upon Mr. Fisher, of York, then in tho city, to ascertain the antecedents of the gay Colonel—the latter h ving very imprudently informed tho General that he was originally from York. Imagine the General’s surprise when in formed that Porter was an accomplished rogue, who had twice been convicted in York for forgery—served his time out in one case, and in ihe other was pardoned. Next morning General Miller felt con siderably relieved when ho learned that the scamp had disappeared;but ail traces of him were not still eradicated,for on repair ing to his office, he found a no to awaiting him, asking for some information in regard to Colonel Isaiah J. Porter, of the Fasi leers, all of which he gave, but the Fusi leer Colonel was non est , and it leaked out that be actually done the Harrisburg bank 1 out of some eighty dollars by means ot a forged note bo Bkilfully executed as almost to defy detection. The next heard of this distinguished military financier was his strike in Carlisle. As he is probably still on hie travels, the public, and especially monetary insti tutions, will do well to be on their guard against this most plausible but slippery rascal I Dkatii of av Old j&k&idjeht of Ve« J ifANoo Oouniy.— Tut*.

To induce or per suade him to such desertion, or even to advise him to it, is also punishable with death. For failing to confine or deliver up such deserter, a commissioned officer is to be cashiered. Killed in the Minks, —A "Welshman named Daniel J. Rees, engaged in the coal works of the Cambria Iron Company, was instantly killed, on Wednesday, in the drift in which he was working, by the falling, suddenly, upon him of a mass of coal. Mr. Rees was about 45 years of ago, and leaves a wife and lour children. Col. Emory's Regiment. —A Wash ington correspondent of the !New York Herald says that Col. Emory’s cavalry regiment, the first of the new regulars in the held,has been so disciplined and drilled that it now rivals the old regiments in the same arm of the service and bids fair to become the crack regiment of the army. Declined —Hon. {Samuel A. Parviance, who was recently appointed Consul to In dia, resident at Calcutta, has declined the position aod will remain here pursuing iis profession of an attorney. Hoo Cholera.— lt is stated that the disease known as tho hog cholora is quite prevalent among the porcine family in Cambria county.
