Tam FAST DAT.—We learn from the Proc.lama station of the Mayor, that to-morrow is set apart for a day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer. Under or dinary Arcerrstances, we would cheerfully acquiesce in azekomtnendation for this pious observance; but weteal certain, that at present it will be of the great est incenvenienoe to our citizens, and greatly retard the efirts they are making to preserve the business of our City from ruin and themselves from still further loss. To those who are making preparations to re build, a day now is more import ant than a week wou ld b e a month hence, and to deprive them of the acismitages to be gained from 12 hours' labor at the rime r dwie, is adding to the loss they have already sustained. I'Tbere is a time for eve' y thing," is an old adage in which there is much good sense, but we have not yet seen any one whotelieves that the present—when a large portion of our community are almost distrat tied with the unparalleled calamity that has fallen upon us, and. when hundreds are struggling to devise means to-provide for their immediate and pressing wants—is a proper time to call upon the public to relax their ef forts for the purpose of observing a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer. We believe the object of the pions men who suggested the observance would entire ly fail, as the public mind is by no means prepared to (Amery, such jut occasion with the solemnity and devo tional feeling that is required of them. But this ob- Bernina) will not only be embarrassing to our own citi zens, bat hundreds of country merchants who are now in the city,and who have already been detained much longer than they expected, will be deprived of a valu able day for the transaction of their business. 'Although the time is short. yet we hope it is still in the power ofthose who called it to postpone this fast day to a time when the minds of the people are better - prepared to observe it, and when it will not cause so - much embarrassment to those who are endeuvoriug to recover from the effects of the late file. Otrittriong all those who lost by the late fire,we have nothenrii of any one who suffered more severely than J P Svosar„ Esq., of the 2d ward. He has lost in that ward alone, nine buildings, some of them of the first class, and all the furniture and bedding at his dwel ling on Wood street. Several trunks of wearing appa -lel and linen belonging to the family %ere got out ofthe building with great labour, and entrusted to persons to carry to a place of safety, but they have not since been heard of. His loss will fall but little short of $30,000. CHAVOI or FORTIIP C.—During a few hours' at tendance at one of the depots where provisions were stand, we served several persons who, on Thurs day morning last, owned good houses, and lived com fortably, and who.came with sacks and baskets to get a few pounds of flour and bacon! SYMPATHY POI. PITTSHURGH.—We invite attention to an ankle from the Baltimore Sun, relative to the late calamity. It would seem that much feeling is manifested by the people of Baltimore for the priva tions of OM people, and which will no doubt result in procuring effectual aid. The Clipper, of Monday, publishes the account of the fire, and bas the follow ing paragraph: "We give in another place the particulars of a dreadful fire at Pittsburgh, and would suggest that some measures be adopted by our citizens to allevi atetho distress of the unfortunate sufferers." CONTRIBUTION TOR THE RELIC/ of THE Sur- TERZILB.—We find the following in the American of yesterday: Reoeiptsof the following donations have been ac knowledged by Mr. Henry Earl, Treasurer of the fund. From Mr. F. J. Lemoyne, of Washington, Pa. $5O 00 Hon. T M. I'. M'Kennan, do 20 00 .C. M. Reed, El, do 50 00 'Rev. Dr. M'Conkey. do E. Healleton, Pittsburgh, in Groceries, Captain E. Harding, from the U. S. Arsenal, has 'forwarded $215 30 its a contribution to the sufferers, (from the persons engaged there in the public service. SPeCIaL LOAN AGENCY.—Wm M SHINN, Esq, a gentleman whose large acquaintance, known integri ty, and excellent business qualifications, admirably fit him for the duties be will have to perform, is about to loaT, or the East to procure loans for such of the Joneinaby the late fite, as have lots, but no means to • terbuild their houses. We have no doubt that much may be accomplished in this way in the great and im portant work of re-building the devastated portion of the city. PEENSTLYANIA AND THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.-A letter from Harrisburgli, dated Fri- . . day, says:—"The bill from the Senate relative to the • Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was taken up, and after -some. time, on motion, the committee rose, and being refused - 40mo to sit °gain, the bill came up on second - reeding, when a motion was made to pospone until Monday next, which was lost—yeas 25, ne3s 57. The bill was then postoned for the present, by consent of friends. A gentleman of this city has kindly furnished us with the folkming extract of a letter received by him gram a member of the Texan Congress, dated Dr. KALB, TExAs, Feb.2s, 1845. "Thecountry is rapidly filling up with an enterpri sing, wealthy, and respectable population. I returned , a few days ego from our seat of government, where I 'had spent the winter as a representative in Congress; and I assure you I have seen the most gratifying evi • dances of the growing wealth and increas'ng, eviden ces of the Republic. We breve now a full Treasury, and the national receipts land disbursements are ex clusive yin the precious metals. Our commerce is fast extending, and agricultural enterprise is fast re deeming the wilderness from the dominion of the sav age, and converting our noble forests, rich alluviouss and grand prairies into cotton and sugar plan tations. Every member of our Congress was in fa vorer Annexation, and 'believe rho people almost unan. imons in favor of it. May God send Annexation soon, for I long to be again in the community of the land of my birth, the land of the broad stripes and bright stars —the "land of the free and t h e home of the brave." EPISCOPAL CSURCH.—The corner-stone of a new Episeopal church was laid at Providence on the Bth in presence of Bishop Henshsw, who delivered an impressive address upon the occasion. The church be of red fr tor about 80 feet front and 150 „E n o ruing p 0 a t . Tin Loss OF THE Sw•usow...—A letter ill the New I.° 1 York Tribune, from the Rev. Mr Harlington, of Alba -110 states, in effect, that the tom'bledisaster which has created so much dismay, was the result of inexcusable carelessness. Mr H dissents entirely from the ground taken.in the proceedings of the passengers on board the Rochester. At the time of the accident the boat was running at the rate of fifteen miles per hour. Half an hour before she struck, noticing that she had on a great bead of stream, he mentioned the matter to the engineer, and expressed his fears that some acci dent might occur. The reply of the latter showed that there was a determination not to be outdone by the Rochester. His opinion is net only confirmed by the circumstances above alluded to, but by the fact that the boat was thrown with such tremendous force upon the rock. The pilot, it is understood, alleges the extreme darkness of the night as an apology for the calamity. If this allegation is true, then there can be excuse for such rapid running: if it is not true, how can the accident be accounted for except on the sup position of a degree of inattemion or carelessness for which there can be no apology? Perhaps all these things can be explained in such a way as to exculpate the Pilot from blame, but at present we cannot resist the convi'etion that he is worthy of severe censure. Thirteen bodies have been found, and it is believed that from thirty to forty persons are still missing.— Among these were four Sisters of Charity. TEXAS- ANNEXATION Terrible Accident—Steamboat Elizabelli.—We are indebted to the officers of the steamboat Wave fix an extra of the St. Landry Whig,of April 3d, contain ing the following distressing particulars of the explo sion of the boilers of the Elizabeth : "The Elizabeth started from New Orleans on Sun day last, and when entering the Cow taubleau from the Atacitafelaya, ber boilers collapsed, and completely tore her works to atoms. The explosion took place about 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning, to which maybe attributed the preservation of many lives, as her entire works above the boiler were swept away, together with her boilers and deck fixtures. Shortly after the accident, the "Wave" came up, rendered all the as sistance in her power, and towed the wreck up to Washington. We insert the subjoined list, furnished by the clerk who escaped uninjured: .1. H. Gordon, captain, very badly scalded and bruised. Daniel York, mate, killed. Freeman D. Lamb, first pilot, leg fractured. John Parrish, second pilot, uninjured. James Marquite, first engineer, very badly scalded. Nelson Hill, second engineer, missing. Chas. M. Jones, barkeeper, uninjured. Mr. Ireland. carpenter; steward, cook and cabin boys, uninjured. Rhodes. deck bend. missing. One negro fireman slightly scalded, and one do.. missing. Pasiongera uninjured, except a few who were slight ly hruiaed. We regret tolearn that. Captain Gordon is in a very critical state. The passengers publish it card, in which they "tes tify t hat the accident was one of those uclorseen calami ties which no human prudence could prevent, as the captain and other officers were doing their duty when the explosion took place." They also return their thanks to the officers of the "Wave," for their kind assistance. Picayune. ANOTFIER STRAKBOLT DISAVIER.—The steamer Canada ran on a ruck in Alexandria bay (37 miles from Kingston) on the Ist inst. The steamer being under full headway at the time. ran nearly half her length on the rock, and now lies in that position with her bows at least out ofsvater. No lives were lust, but all efforts to get the boat off were useless. THE Ntw Mxvott OF New Yottx —The New Mirror of Saturday gives the following republican an ecdote of the new municipal first magistrate. " Mr. Havetneyer was educated at Cambria College, where he took his dept., with great credit to himself. The day after his'release from Alma Mater, ho was stand ing, with his father, on the stops of the sugar bakery, 1 1 and the old gentleman took the opportunity to inquire into his choice of a profession, "I suppose, now you have your education," said he, "you will be a lawyer or a physician?" "Neither!" said the son. "and what then?" exclaimed the father, a little surprised at his son's decision. "In the first place, Sir, I'll drive that can!" was the firm reply, "and when I have been through all the subordinate steps of your businvss,l'll share in the direction of it, with your leave !" Ho "suited the action to the word," for, calling to the man who was about inswing the door with a load, he jump ed upon the aut o took the reins and commenced hi■ apprenticeship. ,He drove cart for a year, and rose gradually, through all the stations of his father's em ploy till he finally became a partner, and an able one, in the business. If this is not a "people's man," we have mistaken the chrysalis." $220 00 FIRE 11i1 THE SWAIIIP.—The Dismal Swamp in Va. is on fire! and the dry weather having ebsorlxd and e vaporated the water and reduced the spongy earth and its incumbent coat of decayed vegetation to the consistency of tinder, the firerages furiously. It com menced on the high land in the vicinity of the Dismal swamp Land company's depot, near Suffolk, and de scending into the swamp, along both sides of their ca nal to Lake Drummond, destroying all their shingles and a large quntanty of fire-wood belonging to individ uals. It crossed the line of the railroad at a place where there were some half a dozen of cords of wood put up by the rowl's side, in the consuming of which a suf ficient heat was created to communicate the fire to the sills of the railroad, which would have been con siderably injured, but for tho thnely arrival of the cars, when the hands of the train set to work and ex tinguished the fire. The fire is still raging. I CONSTRUCTIVE iglu:Loc.—The Washington Cor respondent of the Herald gives a list of the Senators who have drawn money from the public Treasury un der a decision which authorized them to receive mile- age (both ways) for their attendance at the Executi;m3 Session held after the 4th of March, although not one of the whole number had traveled a single mile.— According to his statement 25 Senators have received $21,576 00. A Nont.r. CAPTAIN.-A correspondent of the Bos ton Journal states that Capt John Carter, recently brought the ship James Colder into port, with a cargo worth $300,000, under the most trying circumstances; his ship leaking over a thousand strokes per hour—yet notwithstanding these adverse circumstances, he gal' land) , stuck by the ship, and succeeded in bringing her safely into port, when he would have been as much or more justified in abandoning his ship, as were many that have been abandoned the past winter, FROM MEXICO. — The Key West Gazette, of the 15th March, has dates from Mexico up to the 26th of February.

Oa behalf of the Common Council, the following Ma BLUR AND MR Itivss or Tilt Gt.ollE.—ln pursuance of a new arrangement as to the Globe, Mr Blair, it is slid, has rented his town residence to Mr Bancroft, and wiU retire to his farm a few miles from the city. Mr Rives, it is further said, will go into a private banking establishment as a partner, a business for which he is well fitted, and in which he has had considerable experience. - having been a cashier of a bank before he became interested in the Globe. Reiief.—On our first page will be found an account of a most disastrous conflagration, which has con verted a large portion of the flourishing city of Pitts burgh into a heap of mouldering ruins. Since the great conflagration in the cityof N York, familiarly known as "the great fire," nothing of the kind has occurred in this country, toequel this in the extent of its de structiveness; in fact, this is comparatively, or rather actually, by far the greater calamity of the two. New York could beartbat damage, which Pittsburgh could not; and in this case we believe the actual loss of pro perty is as great as that of the former city on the dig estrous occasion referred to. We may not be exact ly right in rem comparative estimate, for the want of the data which memory fails to furnish; but we cannot be wrong in calling the attention of the public to this recent calamity, with a view to excite general sympa thy and bring relief to the sufferers. To this end it would seem unnecessary to make any labored argument in favor of the cause of humanity. The simple facts of the case constitute an appeal of irresistible eloquence, which we trust will be respond ed to by every city in the Union, and every section of the country. That it will not be made in vein here we feel assured, not only because of the proverbially generius character of this community, but because also of the exceedingly deep impression which the awful occurrence has already produced. From the • promulgation of the first rumor relative to it, anxiety grew, and increased so much, that we deemed it ne cessary and proper to give to the public in an extra sheet, such information as bad reached as; and from the evidences of sympathy with the sufferers, exhibit ed by the numbers who thronged our office, it seemed not difficult to infer action in accordance with the spirit made manifest. It is therefore to be hoped that measures of relief will be promptly taken here; and perhaps it would be as well to suggest at once the re commendation by the Mayor, of a general meeting of the citizens, at which ward committees of appeal and collection could be appointed, and any other measures adopted that might be deemed proper. We should be glad to see Baltimore take the intui tive in this matter, and set a good example to her sis ter cities. indeed her intimate business relations in ith the afflicted, the ruined city, have in them sufficient motives, apart from the jest claims of suffering hu manity, to induce prompt action in the way of relief. And the same may be said testi our principal cities, and of large sections of the country. The geographi cal position of Pittsburgh, brought her into a very in timate business relationship with them. Apart from her manufacturing importance, she exercises the func tions of a useful agency between the Atlantic and the West; she had just risen from the prostration which for a few years of general depression in the world of business had held her energies m thrill, and was mak ing rapid progress in a career of prosperity, in which the interest was not all her own. In a moment, as it were "in the twinkling of an eye," she is cut down, laid literally in dust and ashes, and all her fair pros -1 pects blighted. Will the hand of generosity, then, under such circumstances withhold the needed aid? We cannot suppose any such thing; on the contrary. we hope to hear of liberal contributions coming prompt ly from the north and from the south, from the east and from the west. It is wanted immediately for the relief of the houseless and the destitute, who, whether poor or rich a few days since, have been, by a common calamity reduced toe common condition of suffering. But we will appeal no further, the facts themselves speak trumpet tongued in their behalf, and advocate their claims to spmpathy and assistance, with most touching and persuasive eloquence. Disastrous Overflow of tie -Niagara River. —The news which we published yesterday with re spect to the disastrous consequences of the overflow of the Niagara river, by the breaking up of the ice on Lakn Erie. has since been confirmed. The depth of the ice and water is variously estimated, by letteta ftum Lewiston and the Buffalo papers, at thirty to fifty feet. One hitter, from the postmaster at Lewiston, says that the warehouses were swept from the docks. Youngstown sharing the same fate, and the water still rising. The Canada side of the river has also suffered much. Great fears were at onetime entertained that the whole of the company's valuable works would be carried away, and the steamers in dock, with several smaller craft, were considered in great jeopardy. The water rose four or five feet above the usual level, and all the goods were taken from the company's warehouse with out demure. The water has since fallen to about its usual level. The Chronicle states that so compact is the ice, that people have crossed Niagara to Youngstown upon it, and a bonfire was lighted twenty feet above the sur face of the water. THE HOME OF THE DESOLATE HEARTED The glory that reigned in those halls are past, And the beauty that strangers courted, And deep are the shadows that grief harp cast On the home of the desulate•bearted. The odor of flowers is on the air, But noisome weeds are mingled thete; The vines untrained on the earth repose, The nettles o'ertop the bridal rose; The clematis sinks from her wonted place, And the lily is crushed in its long embrace; The garlands that hung on those walls of yore With their beauty and bloom have departed ; And the a reathing of blossoms is known no more In the home of the desolate hearted. The dust is on the rich guitar, That wakened of old its music there; The birth sit sadly with folded wing; The lute lies by with a broken string, And the air•hair that hangs on the old elm bough In a requiem wild is breathing now; For the festive song and the joyous strain, Ring not through those halls deserted; And voices of mirth will not wake again, In the home of the Desolate-hearted. The portaits that hung on the gallery's side, Of that kindred band that long since died, Are inward turned to the oaken wall, For the gloomy memories they recall; And many a landscape of gloomy hue, Py a folded veil is hid from view; For why should the gladness of happier days, Whose light has for aye departed, Be ever out spread to the weary gaze, In the home of the Desolated-hearted. A pallor comes over the maiden's bloom, As she crosseth the deer of that lonely home; And children move with a softened tread, And voices hushed to a tone of dread; And mirth sinks back from its wonted flow, When the eye looks up on the brow of wo; For the happy band that were getheted there, At a single stroke were parted; And we ask no more of the young and fair, In the home of the Desolate hearted.

WHEREAS, In the adorable Providence of God, the city of Pittsburgh, in the heart of this community, of which we constitute a part, lass, during the last week, been visited by one of the moat desolating conflagra tions known to the history of our country; and whereas, it becomes vs to regard this occurrence with special attention, as it has fallen out, at our own doors, and most deeply concerns us, and those with whom as fel low citizens and fellow christians, we are most mai. mately connected: and whereas, our meeting at this time, affords a suitable opportunity to give an expres sion of our views and feelings, in teference to this most distressing visitation; therefore Resolved, Ist, That this Presbytery regard with deep sensibility the solemn and afflictive Providence, by which so much of the wealth and so many of the homes and comforts of their fellow citizens have been ■wept away—and some valuable lives lost; and they desire hereby to express their most affectionate sym pathy with the suffering community on the occasion. Resolved 2d, That it becomes all and especially the inhabitants of the suffering city of Pittsburgh, is recognize the special providence of God in this fear ful dispensation, and to humble themselves under his mighty hand, seeking the forgivness of their sins and the restoration of his favor throughiesus Christ. Resolved 3d, That this Presbytery observe with pleasure the appointment by the authorities of the city of Pittsburgh, of a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer in reference to the late solemn visitation, and that it be recommended to the Pastors and churches in the cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny, and others within our bounds. as far as practicable to unite with their fellow citizens in the observance of said day. Resolved 4th, That it be recommended to all the churches under our care to take prompt measures to afford such as aid is in their favor to the sufferers by the late fire in the city of Pittsburgh.

EirUnquestionably and incomparably the most im portant thing to be done in the present ctisis is the re building of our waste places. No man acquainted with the locality of l'itubergh, it business facilities and its business men, can doubt for a moment, that the indomitable energy and enterpnse of its population would very soon re establish its position if the cremls ling walls were re-built. Our own resources would, to a great extent, be sufficient to set in motion the' prostrate industry paralyzed by the late calamity, if we had houses in which to meow business. The ground itself, now buried in the smoking ruins of the best business portion of the city, affords the amplest security, for any amount of capital rcqoired for this purpose, and this security might be enhanced by • guarantee that the money loaned should be expended on the ground, and a policy of insurance in any place designated by the lender himself and assigned to him by the borrower. But we have not, among ourselves, the necessary capital unemployed, a million and a half, I invested in buildings alone, has been annihilated in • few hours. We must therefore look abroad for aid, and there can be little doubt such aid can be obtained through the combined influences of a certain prospect of a profitable investment of capital. the sufficiency of the security we are able to offer, and the common sympathies of humanity. The subscriber, at the instance of some of the suf. Cetera by the late conflagration, proposes to start for the Eastern cities in a few days, as a general loan agent, and, if necessary, locate himself in some of them to attend to that business. He proposes to car. Iry with him a faithful and (as far as practicable,) offi cial exhibit of the titles of such as desire to borrow money on real estate security, or to sell a portion of their property to enable them to improve the balance. He will also effect insurances in the East, if desired. anJ transact generally and business of like character, or such as cannot spare time to go themselves. 1V VI. M.
