Its status may be judged hy the following extract from its saluta tory : “ In political matters, (as in things else,) we Bhall maintain a 1 strictly.inde pendent course, treating snch subjects in as fair and candid a manner as our ca pacity will admit, eschewing partisan sen timent and feeling altogether.” The pa per contains much useful local informa tion, and will be of value to all connected with the oil trade. - Mot So. There was a report in circulation yes terday to the effect that there had been another big rise in the Allegheny river at Oil Creek, and that a large of oil had started lor this city.* i Unfortn nately this is not so.

The Cdroner. went (Jown last evening to hold an inquest, Last night upon visiting the watch house in our usual rounds, we were sur prised to find in the cells seven boys,-va rying in ogß from eight to fourteen years. Opon inquiry we learned that upon Sun day night they hadrobbed Stuart's Variety Store, in Fifth street. The oldest-boy, who had planned the robbery, did not seem to be at all affected by his conditions bat rather gloried in it, singing flash songs as if in defiance. While we were there, a lady, the mother of one of the boys, came in with some bedding for her son to lie upon. A mother’s heart goes with a_ child, | even in its disgrace, and the more it.ia in trouble, the more she clings to 'it! The boys have been in the habit of running together, and pilfering when ever they could get an opportunity.- Among the articles taken from Rtuart’s and found in their possession are Beveral boxes sf toy towns, ten pins and balls, carts, drays, and water wagons, toy tools, riding stick, fancy box, &o. The Mayor is anxious that their parents should take the proper steps to have Lhem seat to 'the House of Refage, otherwise they will have to be sent to jail os common thieves, there to await their trial at the first Bitting of the Criminal Court. Judicious punish ment might have saved these boys from • their present condition, and their parents from much mortification. This is one of the fruits of allowing children to run the] streets after nightfall 99.000 35.U00 Tbe Campbells, The warm weather appears to have but little effect apon the audiences that fre quent the Theatre to witness the perform ances of the Campbells. Nightly the boxes and dress circle are filled with ladies, and the flatter of ribbons, the waving of feathers, and the continual motion of fans, make an attractive scene. No matter what kind of weather it is, the people will crowd to Bee the Campbells. “ Thafe'B What’s the Matter.” Condemned. The Barracks at Camp Curtin have been condemned by the United States Board of Surveyors. Had it not been for the breeze that wa B stirring yesterday, it would, without doubt, have .been the hottest day of the season. It was tQt> hot for comfort. Income Assessments* Henry A.

The people, withia ten miles of the railroad, are notified that they will be held responsible in their persons and pro-, perty for any injury done to the road, trains, depots or stations by citizens, guerrillas or persons in disguise ; and in case of such injury, they will be impressed as laborers to repair all damages. If these measures should not stop such de predations, it will become the unpleasant duty of the undersigned, in the execution of his instructions, to direct that the en- tire inhabitants of the district or country along the railroad be put across the lines, and their property taken for Government use. Geo. G. Meade, Major General Commanding. The deprepations having been continued a number of citizens suspected or known to be complicated in these transactions have been promptly arrested.

A Monarchy in Canada Advocated by Thomas D’Arcy MoGee Mr. Thomas D’Arcy McGee is address ing the people'of Canada, with the pur pose of preparing them to accept a mon archial system of government, of which Bystem McGee has constituted himself the champion. From oue of his recent ad dresses on this subject, the following ex tract is taken: I endeavored to contemplate it in the light of a future, possible, probable, and 1 hope to be able to live to say, positive British American nationality. For I repeat in the terms of the question at first —what do we need to construct Boch a nationality ? Territorial resources by sea and land, civil and religions freedom —those we have. Four millions we al ready are —four millions culled from tbe races that for a thousand years have led the van of Christendom. When the scep ter of ( hristian civilization trembled in the enervate grasp of the luxurious Greeks of the lower empire, then the western tribes of Europe, fiery, hirsute, clamor ous, but kindly, snatched at the falling prize, and placed themselveß at the head of human affairs. We are the children of those fire-tried kingdom founders, of those ocean discoverers of western Europe.— Analyze our aggregate population; we have more Saxons than Alfred had when he founded the English state ; we have more Celt* than Brien had when he put his heel on the head of Odin ; we have more Normans than William had when he marshaled his invading hosts along the strand of Falaise. Wo have the laws of St. Edward and St. Louie ; Magna Charta and the Roman code; we speak the speech of Shakespeare and Rossuet; we copy the constitution which Burke and Somers and Sir Thomas Moore lived or died to secure or save. Out of these august elements, in the name of the fnture generations, who shall inhabit all the vast regions we now coll ours, I invoke the unfortnoate Genius of an united British America, to so solemnize law with the moral sanctions of religion, and to crown the fair pillar of our freedom, with its only appropriate capital, lawful authority, so that, hand in hand, we aud our descendants may advance steadily to the accomplishment of a com mon destiny. [Loud cheers, j The Earthquake at Manilla. Via San Francisco, we hear to-day of a dreadful earthquake at Manilla, one of the great commercial emporiums of the East, the capital of the Island of Luzon, and of all the Phillippine Islands. The catastro phe is reported to have occurred on the 3d of June, and to have destroyed about one-half of the city, burying two thou sand of the ha; less inhabitants iu the ru ins. The magnitude of the disaster may be inferred, wheu it is stated that the city and Buburbs contain streets several miles iu extent. Among the finest of its public buildings waß the Roman Catholic Cathe dral, the Palaces of the Archbishop and the Governor, a beautiful city hall, ten or twelve churches belonging to different re ligious orders, several convents and mon asteries, an arsenal. five colleges, Saint Thomas’ University, a custom house, a commodious theatre, etc. Tha city prop er formed the segment of a cirele between the river Pasig and the sea, its suburbs ex tending over numerous islets, easily reached in all parts by boats. The calam ity which hes now befallen it, happens to be not the first of the kind. As far back as it was nearly destroyed by an earthquake, and it is only about eleven years ago, that a similar visitation inflicted a terrible damage upon it. Scarcely a building remained uninjured, while many were completely destroyed. The Siege of Charleston. A private letter from the fleet off Char leston, speaks in the warmest terms of the enthusiasm and spirit of both officora and men. When the rebel and arrangement recently adopted by Admiral Dahlgren to save liis forces comes aroond, the sailors, if there is any fighting on hand, object to leaving their posts. A large reinforce ment of marines, picked men. have gone down, and will no doubt render efficient service. Gen. Gillmore was progressing with his land batteries, ana each day something is surely gßined upon the ene my. They have got over the fallacy of fixing a time for the fall of Fort Wagner, but that it is destined to fall they do not entertain a doubt. The heat was very great, and particularly oppressive t-o those on the iron clads. A i.ate letter from Washington to the Troy, N. Y. U'AL/, informs ua that Mrs. Linoola is recovering from her compound fracture of the cerebellum, caused by be’rng thrown from her carriage, and is now drawing her rations out at the Sol diers Home. Abraham rides out to see her every evening, accompanied by a heavy cavalry escort; it is rumored that Mrs. L., after the most cruel anxiety and hesitation, has concluded to have her summer dresses made np “biased,” with short necks and low sleeves. Seizure of Treasonable Books. By a late arrival from Liverpool a case of books was brought to this port for par ties in Baltimore. The appraisers at the custom-house, on opening them, found twenty three volumes of a work entitled “Fourteen months in an American Baa tile.” Thia fact was reported to the Pro vost Marshal for this district for his ac tion. As yet nothing has been done be yond this, but it is probable, that as the book referred to was written by a rebel, and says hard things against the govern ment, all the copies will be confiscated.— AT. V. Htrald. Adelina Patti, it is aaid, demands $6OO a night for her next engagement at Paris, and the new mauager, M. Bagier, does not appear to be willing to make so heavy a contract. There is not much doubt, however, bat that the affair will be ar ranged. STRICTLY PURE ARTICLEB liow Prices, PITTSBURGH DRUB HOUSE, TORRENCE & McGARR, APOTHBCABISIg.
