iTTSBURGH POST. M.OHDAY MORNING, MARCH 17 CITY MATTE? li S . WEEKLY OIL lisroar.—The Cil City Register gives the following report of the condition of the oil market: The oil business has improved consider.. ably since last week's report. Several buyers have come into this market, and are purchasing largely. A large amount of oil is being shipped. The river is in excellent boating stage, and our v(harf presents an appearance of business, glad. eluting to both heart and eye. There is upwards of 80,000 barrels of oil on our 'ierent wharfs, and from present appear noes, the balk of it will l'e shipped this 'seek. Most of the oil will go East and to Europe direct, to fill previous contracts, Lut little being shipped on speculation or for a market. One of our largest buyers .nformed as that he bad purchased 6,000 carrels to be delivered at this point, at 76 cents per barrel, the purchaser finding the tasrels. This Is intended for foreign • rApment, and will no doubt net the pur• chaser a handsome protit. The oil mar ket is in rather an unsettled condition, from the reason of the heavy excise pro. posed to be laid on this product by Con. grins. It seems absurd to tax oil five cents a gallon, which is worth at the prey. eat market rate, scarcely a cent a gallon at the wells. 0 wing to the rise in 0.1 Creek, there is but little teaming dote, but a large amount of oil is coming down in boats. In the New York markets we notice that Petro. learn is wholly unsettled, in view of the lantemplated levying of an excise by Congress, and business suspended. Crude oil isoted at 15(4)16 cent, and refined at 80 @40 cents, winch is an advance on . .he relined. We give below the amounts of 01l received and shipped from our chi' ferent warehouses 1.3 r the week ending .March 11th. Abrams, Or.• & Co , receiv• cd 477 barrels cf oil; shipped 2,084 bar rels.

AN OLD STAGER.— he whole term of service in the Wrstirn Penitentiary of the colored man Brown, arrested on Friday, for larceny, at the fire in Allegheny, has been twenty one years and three months. He was first committed from Somerset county, in 1633, under the name of Lewis Brown,for larzeny.and served one year and six month?. In 1838, he was sent back for tight years, from this county, for arson, under the name cf John Miller, alias John Martin, John Baldwin, Inicie Brown. In 1847, he was committed from Beaver noun. iy, for snot er year, for breaking into a dwelling house, with intent to kill. He then had two more names, John Lewis r i John Brown. Again we find him, ...th the added cognomen of John bmith, c nt back trom this county, for larceny, two and a half years, in 1850; in 1853, came back for a like term from Bad, lord county, for larceny; and in 1868 he d. a term of five years and nine months, .Jr assault and battery with intent to kill, trom our own Court. His time expired in o.3tober last, and now he stands a fair chance of going back. Addison Craig, !taw under arrest. was committed January 11th, 1861, for passing Cf unterLi t. money, one year and three montle, but was par. doned out last June. DEATH OF A MEMBER CF THE FRIEND slll.3l3.—Under the proper head will be found a notice of the death of Wm. .McOandhns Jr., eon of the late William McCandless and nephew of Hon. Wilson McCandless. Hewes a morn bor of tiler' riend Rifles, attached to the Sickles lirigade,and died of typhoid fever, on Thursday last, at Camp Farnum, Md. Ho had recently recovered from an attack of the same dish ease, awl, being of powerful constitution it was tnught (as will be seen by cur tors correspondence elsewhere) he was out of danger from the second ; consequently the news of his death was a severe blow to Lid riends here. "Willie" was only eighteen .j eers of age, a manly, noble, daring youth, T ,eloved by all who knew him. We :lacer°. .y sympathise with Lis bereaved friends in the loss sustained in him. TansTaz.—We are to have a nove:ty at the Theatre tonight, when, in addition to two good pieces "Captain Charlotte" and "Mischief Making," in b )th of which Mttie Henderson appears, the celebrated trick horse, Sir Henry, will be exhibited by his trainer, Prof. Hamilton.

At the close he will show how Gen. Soon and Jeff. Davis ride. His owner claims that he is the beat trained horse in the country and offers $5,000 for one ex. ceiling him. GOTTI3OHALK, TES PIANIST-ITALIAN Orsas.—We learn by letter from New York, that the great American Pianist, L. M. Gottschalk, now playing to delighted audiences in the East, will shortly pay a visit to our city, accompanied by several vi the best artistes from the Italian Opera at the New York Academy of Music. The time of this eminent pianist is so general that we have no doubt the announcement of his name alone would fill the largest hall in our city, but when he is aided by the first opera-singers in the country we can almost guarantee larger brilliant and fashionable audiences so long as the com pany remains here.

Albrecht, a German shoema. ker of Manchester, whose store was rob bed, about two weeks since, of about $lOO worth of goods. It is believed that Drown, who is an arrant rascal, having served six terms in the penitentiary, stole the shoes, and left them at Holland's. The latter was committed for receiving stolen _goods. DISTP.ESSINO.—A tew days since, ()apt. L. L. Beach, of the Home Guards, of Ver non; Trumbull ooenty, U., started for Louisville, By., to bring home he re• mains of Robert Mitzner, a soldier in the &Id Regiment, 0. V.

Halleck Authorized to Su- persede Gen. Grant. WA-ea/N0 . 143k CITY, March 14.—Assist ant Secretary Fox reports the Merrimac badly injured, holes bored in her hull by the Monitor, and leaking fast when she put back. He says the Cumberla-d's broads sides, on the first day's fight, injured her so badly she could not attack the Minne sota or Roanoke, although aground. He thinks the Minnesota can handle her, be cause the Merrimac is slow and unwieldly, and it is impossible for her to go to sea. She would inevitably founder in an ordi nary gale. The Merrimac's snout was jerked askew by a ball from an eleven inch gun on the Minnesota. Capt. Buchanan received his wound from a rifleman on board the Cumberland, the ball going through his thigh, He says the craw of the Minnesota, as well as the Monitor, are eager to see the Merrimac come out again, in which they are not likely to be gratis fled. Flag Officer Goldsborongh is at Fortress Monroe. The War Department has authorized Gen. Hs.Heck to supersede Gen, Grant, unless the latter should ask to be relieved, on account of bad conduct at Fort Donel. son and elsewhere. A letter from Centerville says that fugi.
