SMITH. ZDITOIIIIViD PROPRINTORS his son, in consequence of having been bit -. ten by defendant's vicious dog. Doubt-1 less a righteous verdict. We understand that a prosecution has been instituted before one of the Alder men of this city, in a case similar to the one here noticed. The fearful consequen ces resulting from the attacks of vicious dogs, should admonish those who indulge in such luxuries to keep them well se cured, and if they do not, the proper au• thorities should take means to abate the FRIDAY, MAY is; 1843 Pittsburgh Business. More strangers have visited our city this spring, than for litany previous seasons, and our excellent Hotels are literally loran:limed. Men in every department of Afniiiiicas, appear to have as much as they can do, and the "eigna" indicate a revival of better times on a permanent basis. The importance of our manufactures are becom ing more widely known, and Pittsburgh articles are mom in demand among all the merchants of the west and south west, as they find they are more desired by their customers, than those of any other place in the onion; • On socnunt of the industry, enterprise, economy and the skill of its pnpulation, Pittsburgh has suffered less frog, the pres sure of the times, than any other manu. "wring city in the counery, and the same . maul will restore its prosperity long be- , fore any of her sister cities get upon their lags again. Nothing could bernore convincing of the great benefit that the contemplated Rail Rolid would be to our city, than the rush of business that is witnessed in all our sweets at the present time. The b.tsiness on the •canal is double that of any former Jerson, and still the vast quantities of pro.. ducq in the warehouses around the basins do not appear to be diminished. With in. creased - facilities business would be increas ed. Our position at the head of navigation. will elwiys make our city a favorip point in the transaction of business between the out and the west, and nothing is wanting to secure to Pittsburgh the entire trade of the valley, of the Mississippi, but increased facilities for the transportation of paasen. genkgoods and produce, at all seasons.— :.The Rail Road will firnish these and then 4 :lPittsburgh will be beyond the reach of dompetition. Important to .auctioneers. —The Bali. more Patriot gives an account of a deci, sips lately lakt before a magistrate in that sky, which is of considerable importance stp sSlettoaeers, It is to the following ef- Ifir4t:•That where there may be two or More bithiers on one articleof the se rue jaigikand the Oid is simultaneous, and a voucher is produced prorift e thu Competi tion,the articleimust be put up, tho' it may .baye been recorded in the book records kept for that purpose; but should any other article have been brought forth in the in k' % farina, and a bid made on this same arti cle, the second claimant or claimants lose this bid on the first, when the competition may have arisen, and the first is entitled to it. This rule has been adapted by auctioneers generally, and sanctioned by estatom. Mormons—Nauvoo—More Humbug.— Gen. Jo Smith. (the; prophet) mayor of Nauvoo, has published a proclamation in the Nauvoo Wasp, addressed to the citi. zens of the holy city, stating that there ex ists, up and don n the Mississippi, and round about the city of Nauvoo, a band of desperadoes, botineckor the oaths of secre. cy. under severe penalties, and that he un derstandasome of the members, who were, through Manhood and deceit, drawn into their snares. are, through fear of the exe , cution of said penalties on their persons, prevented from divulging their secret plane and depredations; the prophet mayor, therefore, grants and insures protection a gainst all personal violence to each and ev , . ery citizen of the holy city who will freely and voluntarily come forward and truly make known the names of all such abomi nable characters. Milletism.—The Philadelphia Mercury says:—There is a desperate attempt to re. Ali this humbug, but it is past recovery. Ali late Miller meeting in Boston, an old maid addressing the congrega:ion, said it had been revealed to her that she should be in bliss before the expiration of three weeks. That meame, as we take it, that she is to be married within the time spo.. - ken of.

The Treasury Notes lost at the N. Or. leans Custona House.— The Washington Globe of Saturday evening says—Three men h tse just been arrested at Brown's Hotel, in this city, charged with taking or having the treasury notes said to have been sent fio.n the custom h else at New Or• leans in Ju'y last, to the Treasury Depart ment. and not received by the Treasury. They came to Brown's on the 2d inst., and entered their sirnames alone on the register, as follows: Breedlove, Jewell, and Austin. When they sent to the post office for letters, the messenger was told to ask for letters for J S Merrit, in place of, or fur, Jewell, and for J S Austin, for Austin. Breedlove, it is sail. is the son of J W Breedlove, Esq , of New Orleans, one of the moat respectable residents in that city. They are now before a magic. TRADE OF THE MISSO3SIPPL—In a report mods by Mr. Barrow, of LoutsiAna, in the Senate of the United States, some extra ; ; ordinary facts are stated in reference to the Great Valley of the Mississippi. This region comprises nine States and two Ter ritories, with a population of nearly seven millions. In 1842, there 450 steamers running upon the Mississippi, and about 4000 flat boats. The value of the down ward trade to New Orleans, is estimated at $120,000.000 annually; the upward trade at $100,000,000. The whole trade t o the enormous amount of two hundred and twenty millions of dollars per annum —only about thirty millions les.4 than the entire velum- of afro forrtzu trace nTtne U nited States, exports and Imports, in 1841. .Brrest of the Sheriff of New lurk.— Sheriff Hart, of New York city, was on Friday last taken into custody by the cor oner, on several writs issued by persons having eve:anions in his hands, amounting to thousand of dollars. His securities are responsible. The remainder of the term it is supposed will be filled by Mr West. ervelt, the deputy. Drought at the South..—Tile country round about Charleston, S. C. is suffering under a protracted drocght. The cisterns in the city are most of them dry, and the cotton planters have few of them more then half of their cotton up, and that in many places perishing of thirst. Aefferings in Scotland.—The London Phalanx is informed by a correspondent from Glasgow, that on Tuesday, the 14th of March, a procession of one thousand women, whose husbands and children are in a state of utter destitution, paraded the principal streets of that city carrying a large board on which was written in large letters—"BßEAD or DEATH." The last Memphis Enquirer says Mrs Graves, wife of the ‘repudiaiiiig"freasu. ler of Mississippi, took shipping at that port for up the river, on the 3d inst on board the Jo Daviess, under an assumed name, as well as her brother. A Swap.—The Louisville Journal ac. knowledges the receipt of a horse from nineteen new subscribers in Illinois, in payment for that paper: Prentice ex , claims, •My paper for a horse !'

Eighty-five members of the House are already elected to the next Congress; o tbege only eighteen are whips ! Mr Latham and Mies Aleiton are at the PeoPle'a Theatre, Cincinnati. (7Sir William Drummond Stewart, of Scotland, and hia.party of amateur bunt era. were to leave St Lnuia on the 3d inst.. for the Rocky Mountains. - The City of Toronta.-- - The Toronto Herald of last week mentions two imp sales of city lots which took place a few days ago. At the first sale, lots to the amoun t of $35,000 were disposed of. At the sec. ond, which took place a day or two /tubes. quest, the sales amounted to $21,000. Nearly all these lots were to be built upon immediately. The expenses of the city for paving, salaries, police, &c. average yearly, about $35,000. Ex• Governor of Canada.—The last Kingston papers mention that Sir C. Bag. of had somewhat improved in health; and Mr Cholmondeley7(formerly of the Staff) is on his way to New York for , the pur pe,,e of requesting Lord John Hay to take the Warspite to Quebec, as being a more convenient place than N. York for Sir C. Bagot in his present condition, to embark from. .4 Mountain Divided.— Th e recent earthquake in Antigua rent asunder a s large mountain, leaving a fissure in it of one mile and a half in extent, 75 feet deep and 35 feet in breadth—so say the ac• counts. Two women, named Adeline Fairfield and Eliza, were recently drowned near N. Orleans Prices of Pictures.—The collection of pictures belonging to the estate of the late eminent hanker, Aguado, has been sold at Paris. The correspondent of the Charles ton Courier gives the prices brought by some of them. The gallery, we should state, was a very famous one, and particu larly distinguished for Spanish pictures. `The Annunciation, by Murillo, fetched four thousand six hundred dollars. The death ofSt. Claire, a very large picture, called, in the catalogue, the chet d'oeuvre of the collection, also by Murrillo, four thousand dollars. Two sister pictures of his, saints in the description, but, to my ”ye,preity flower girls in Spanish costume, were sold, one for sixteen hundred, and the other for six hundred dollars—they were equally well paitifed, but the face of one w as mor e beautiful than the other; hence the differenc e iu their value. The only Raphael, a small Madonna and child, about one font in height by nine inches in breadth, brought five thousand seven hun— dred dollars. A female portrait, half length, and not of a beautiful person, though admirab'y painted, two thousand six hundred &liars. This was by Velas. quez, a Spainish painter of Rood repute, whose pictures are rare. 'Whilst another by Velasquez, of large siza, representing a young girl trying to sponge out the color of a negro, (probably a popular anecdote in his time)was knocked down for only two hundred and fifty. The most absurd price I saw given. was [Or a email. and by no means a good picture, by Teniers, three thousand two hundred dollars. One of our young count r) men bought a capital Murillo to carry borne ; but as lam not a purveyor of private tittle tattle, I will only tell you that it is dest ined to New Et/- gland. The pictures altogether brought eighty six thousand dollars. The New York correspondent of Na• ional Intelligencer says: 'We had a novel turn.out of a fourrin and yesterday in Broadway—a vehicle drawn by four elephants. There was some grandeur in the spectacle and some drollery. These enormous specimens of the animal most like us in intellect, and least like 112 frame, are part of a Menage, - ie; and they drew, in the wagon to which they were attached, the band of mitsic be. longing to the concern. They were, ail four, en chemise—covered with white cot. ton cloths to the knees, but, Elssler•ltke, making great display of their legs and ivory. The ropes were fastened to their tusks, and they were urged by simple pounding on the rear, which was very like flogging the bide of a hill; fur they were up to the second stories of the houses. To walk round one'of these animals in a tight fit of a booth is a very different thing from seeing him paraded under the suitable ceiling of the sky. I had nu idea they could go over the ground so swimmingly. They glided along with the ease of scows going down with the tide, and,with their trunks playing about close to the pave.. ment,seemed to be walking Broadway like some other loafers—looking for something green Extract from O'Connell's Speech—E normous Drain of Money from Ireland sincetl►e Union.—qt present six million& sterling were raised annually in Ireland, every farthing of which was spent out of.
