H. SMITH, EDITORS PITUBURGH, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1845 BLLTINORE ♦aD OHIO RAIL ROAD.—We are glad to perceive, among our citizens, a tepidly increasing interest on this most important subject, and we hope that they will take some action that will secure to themselves and the Stateat large the immense advan tages that must flow from making our city the termi- CUls of the great work of the day. It is suegested that a meeting be held for the purpose of giving an expression, of the most strong and decided kind, in favor of removing the restrictions imposed upon the RAH Road Company by our legislature. We would earnestly join in urging this or any other mode of show leg the extent of the public feeling on this subject in this part of the State. Let energetic action give way 'to mere discussion. It is said that the action of the Board of Trude of this city in repod to the resumption of the Beaver Division, has had an adverse influence on the petition for the removal of the restrictions which our citizens so much desire to see removea. We shall not pause to discuss the conduct of the Board, for we think that there is no time to lobe in discos /log its conduct, and that its action on one subject should not influence the course of the Legislature upon another and entirely different matter. If it has committed an error, the beat way to repair it is by a prompt and decisive movement on the tart of the people themselves. If it has pursued the proper course, still there should be a popular movement to sustain its efforts. It is plain that we shall have to contend with the blind - selfishness of Philadelphia, in this matter. The people of that city, because they have managed to con trol and influence the Legislature of the State for ma .ny years, think they should continue to do so. And they will make a desperate effort to maintain the re strictions of which we complain, and which were adopt ed by the force of their owrr cunning policy. nr The Pittsburgh Post makes a beastly attack upon the Whigs of Boston because they bare funded • hundred thousand dollars for Mr Webster. W hat .ever money they have deposited for their Senator was undoubtedly their own. They didn't steal it after the fashion of Locofoco officeholders. This ,paragraph is written in the very exemplary and decent style which prevails in the columns from which it is taken. We shall not deny the right of the almoners to the money which they so generously drop ped upon the WEHATER plate. although we don't be lieve they earned it themselves. INut, however undis puted and indisputable their right to the - money may be, they have no right to expend it in corrupting the public men of the conntry—they have no right to "contaminate by base bribes" a man called to per form the high and honottaile functions rife Senator of the United States. A majority of the drunkards and sdebauchees of the country maintain their immoralities at their own cost—yet their example is not the less blighting and injurious to public morals, and their conduct is not censured the less because they spend their own money in demoralizing society. The con tributor to the NVEDSTER subscription are as amen able to society for the manner in which they lavish their wealth, as any other set of men who use their means to the prejudice of the commonwealth, either morally or politically. We do believe that the $lOO,- 000 of a cortuption fund given to Webster, is put to wretchedly had use; that it will have much influence in destroying the purity of our national councils. If we mistake not, the Journal itself will bitterly roe the day that this $lOO,OOO was subscribed for the 'Godlike.' If we do not greatly mistakefthe signs of the times, one great object of this great charity, is to sustain Wanstirts as a whig candidate for the Presi dency, even to the exclusion of CLAY, whose ardent friends desire him again to take the field—and whose " +vaulting ambition" can never be satisfied without a mother dash at the Presidency. And why should not CLAT again be a candidate? Did be not inuke a bet ter race last fall than he ever did before We would suggest that the JoURNAL amend its last sentence by writing 'Kentucky' instead of "Lo <efoco" before 'officeholders.' It would have force and 'point just now GREAT EXCITEMENT ♦T THE WHSRT—THY 'ERT QUICKEST TRIP EVER MADE.—It Wal announ ced yesterday in some of the morning papers, that the Curets/oi7l, a new and splendid steamboat construct ed at the city whose name she bears, had arrived at our wharf, having completed the trip from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh in .52 hours. The boat and her achieve ment was the town-talk all the morning, and created no little admiration amongst even those who had been used all their lives to stylish steamers and rapid run ning. Scarcely had the bora about the Ctscapirtsn and her trip began to subside, when the steamboat hl es- Es Galt arrived ft om Citiointrati,—and to the wstonisle mem of all, it was announced that she had performed the trip in 49 hours, including eight stoppages! She accomplished the distance from Cincinnati to Wheels ing is 39a hours, end came float Wheeling to Pitts burgh in 10a hours—thus completing the trip in 49 hours. The Messenger is a new boat owned in this city. Her hull was built by 'B. COURSVII & 'Co. of Elizabeth, and her engines are from the shop: of Messrs Rotstesori & Mists of this city, who are, we believe bee plincipal owners. She is,,therefore, a Pittsburgh boat, and no little honor is claimed for her, fax having beaten the crack craft of the Queen city. The folks interested in the Mitactitoza say she has powers yet undeveloped, and that, by a slightim provement which they propose making, she will be a ble to make the trip from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh in 44 hours! The distance is 500 miles, sad during her late trip she averaged more then ten macs an hour, against a very strong current, fur Ow ri , oer Just now is quite high. This is another triiirenh (.1 tt,.• toe-Lucie§ :Alla boatmen of Pittsburgh, and shows Ow they .no still keep their position at "the head of Li,t Tor a matter of 8 hours Cincinnati bad ilie palm; but %hen the Mepeenger came in it nes reclaimed b) the origi nal bearers.

This mode of pmcetiure is regarded somewhat in the light of an in quisition, and consequently has become exceedingly unpopular. Their movements are slow, and unless they get along much faster than they have done, their 30 days limit will expire, and the business fur which they have assembled to accomplish, will go undone. For our part we look upon the whole proceeding as a humbug, and a very expensive one to the Common. wealth. Nrws too THE Prort.r.—We learn that a letter has been received in this city, stating that a bill has passed both houses of the Legislature, and was sign ed by the Governor, extending to Aldermen and Jus tices of the Fence, going out of office, all the rights and pi ivileges, under existing laws given to Justices in office, previous to the adoption of the new Consti tution, respecting the retention of the Dockets and collection of fees. The simple meaning, divested of all technicalities, is that Justices, not re•eleeted, may retain their dock els, end demand all legal fees due, beCire delivering transcripts for the further prosecution of suits yet pend ing. Louisville Journal There is a tail to this bill called the stay law, which goes into operation on the first of January, 1846. By its provisions bail is to be absolute for payment of judg ments. INTERESTING TO WIDOWII.—In the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, a decision of importance has been suede. The application was en the part of a widow. who has married again. to compel from the executor of her late husband the payment of annuity of two hun dred dollen, left her until her son should be of ago, "prosided however that she remained his widow until that time; otherwbie the annuity to cease. The court ordered the payment of the annuity, notwithstanding the te-marriage. It was held that a provision fur the payment of the annuity so long as the widow should continue unmarried would be good, the prorisionoper , acing only as a limitation upon the devise; but the case before court there was a limitation already provi ded, to wit, the coming of age of the son, and the other clause, directing the annuity to cease on the mnrriage of the widow, could be regarded only as a roaditiost subsequent, and a restriction upon marriage, which the law disfavors as opposed to the first law of our na ture and to the interest of ■oreity. HI( 1415 RETURN En.—Mr Coleman, who took out to England and France last year his celebrated .2Eolian Attachment to the piano forte which attracted so much notice in Paris and London, was a passenger home in the Hibernia. MILLER EXCITEMENT IN MA INC.—Sonia of the eilizens of Orrington have become so much excited with the advent theories of "Father Miller," as to neglect all business and to live upon their substance by selling stock from their farms and the furniture from their dis el,ings. They have set the twenty-third of next month as the day when the world will be caught up in the air to meet the Lord. The Select men of O. have given notice, that several persons na med, are to be placed under guardianship, and all per sons are cautioned against purchasing any property, as all contracts or deeds will be void on account of their incompetency to manage their affairs. We understand that the gond people of Wheeling are uproarious in the extravagance of their joy, at the passage of the law by the Virginia Legislature. making their town the terminating point of the Baltimore and Ohio railway. Su confident are they that their town muat become the grand centre for all the travel of the vallies of the Ohio and Mississippi, that they are die potted to give full vent to the feelings of satisfaction, with wince they hail the passage of the law in ques tion. The people of Wheeling are right; the ter mince of the Baltimore and Ohio railway must be-, come the grand depot fur the transhipmentof a large amount of menthandixe. T., that point must come an immense number of the merchants, manufacturers and basineas men of our whole country, and moat certain ly, if Wheeling be made the point, there is good cause for tbe manifestations of joy, which sport says, are apparent in the countenances, end which we know a bound in the language and writings of her citizens. / But shall Wheeling be the point ? This is an 1 portent question, and one in which our own city and the whole State ate deeply interested. Shall Pitts burgh. shall the people of Pennsylvania, look tamely on while advantages so great, so manifest, and so per manent, are gliding by, without reaching outs band to grasp them.—Will the Legislature of Pennsylvania adjourn without pas.ing a law at least permitting the Company to come within our territory and extending their road to Pittsburgh? We think not—nay, we ex- I pect that every legitimaat influence will be exercised to induce the Company to accept of the previsions of a law to that effort, and doe secure to our own Stem the expenditure within her lam den of immense sums spent in the construction of the rued, prevent the t tip of a.rivalin our vicini , y whose increase in Ina titiluctutrit, in cutranerce and wealth }suuld be left injuriously by ourcuerckiwiti and mechanics, enaLle the people of our city to pay their portion of the bur dens of the Commonwealth, and aid in fostering and maintaining the great and growing interests of our cummi•nity. We know not bow to speak of the cause that it ta. Len io regoni to this matter by the board of trade of the city of Philadelphia. Can it be that they'4o not understand that their interests will be promoted as mach by the extension of the road its Pittsburgh as to Wheeling. hit possible that they expect any ad vantage to themselves by opposing us when they are thereby so hr promoting the interests of error woeld be rival. We cannot believe it. We know that the ' policy of Philadelphia Should be to promote the gen eral goad, and we have no doubt she would willing ; 1y ; and rather thou oppose us did she but thoroughly understand our position. We will rams to this subject again. X. Y. Z. Steamboat Aeeident.—The steamboat Blue Ridge, when about pushing oat from our wharf on Saturday night, burst the connection pipe between her boilers, scalding the engineer and a German hand or deck passenger, rather badly. The door of the social hall was torn up considerably by the explosive force, and the boat otherwise injured. The Blue Ridge had got pretty well into stream, when the accident occurred, and drifted with the current down below town, and was towed back by one of the boats lying at the wharf. (Gin. Enq.
