They had their building and its contents insured, it is true, bat the amount cannot be obtained fur months to come, and when obtained, it will not be any thing like adequate to the great work of rebuilding the house, tad replacing the Books, Furniture, and Appa ratus which have been destroyed. Under these circnmstanees it is Co be hoped thnt an appeal, at the proper time, in favor of this valua ble institution will not be made in vain. its destruc tion is alossto the city that 'must be supplied; apd the noble efforts of the Trustees to sustain the Uni• 'entity should, and we trust will, be seconded by eve ryone Ivho wishes well to the cease a Learning OP The contributions from all the Protestant churChes have trearts thrown into the generalfund, from which all cluses;Citholics as well as Protestants, re ceive relief. We have - heard of contributions from a broad sent to individuals of the Catholic church for the benefit of the sufferers by the fire, which hes not foundits way into this fund. The same remark is ap plicable to the collection latel7rtaken at St. Paul's Chinch. If these Churches collect fur tbeir own a lone, our Councils and Committee men should be in . - formed of it ' ask may lead to much imposition upon a fund raised for the mew sacred of purposes, that of msdistinguishablechsri ty. The above paragraph appeared in the American of yesterday. In regard to funds sent to individuals, we knew of but one sum. fifty dollars, received by Mr. R. Doman, jr., of Market street, that was not put into the general fund. Mr. b. determined, very properly , we think t to distribute it among some very worthy per fens who were in great peed. Mr. D., we believe, is "note member of the Catholic Church. The money collected salt. Paul's and at the German Catholic Church, we are informed, will he paid into the genteel fund to day, if it bas not alread y been paid in. The reason why it4sas been withheld, was inorder to add to it certain contributions which were promised. It may be proper to mention shot the Unionist Con_ gregetion, (Rev. Mr. Kerr's) corner of Cherry alley and Sixth street, have determined to 'distribute the amount collected intheir church, the m selves. They . allege as s ranee; „ (and it seems to us quite sufficient) that they can thereby reach and relieve persons who are is much distress, and who cannot be induced to np-' ply to the committees for aid. If it sot—We have bean told that while there are a greet, many persons suffering for the want of ne cessaries, the authorities propose to sell most of the provisions they have on hand—and that one cause of this is the harsh circumspection exercised by those who have the distribution of articles of the first ne cessity. Many worthy persons, although in need, it is said, will not make application for food, &c., choaling rather to suffer want than to endure the se vere and unplessant examinations they are mode to undergo. Can this be true? We do not charge it upon any committee, nor do we wish to awaken any angry feeling at a time when no unkind thoughts should be tolerated, nor unkind words spoken—but we have been reeptested to notice the fact thatsuch charges were rife. ;. nrThe more we leak at thieuins, the more awful does the visitation seem. Still, out of the very "diio lation which prevails in thergburnt district" hope will spring up. We confidently predict, that before the lit day of next Pecember, GOO splendid and substan tial houses will be reared in the burnt district, be sides a like number in other parts of the city. CONTRINVTIoRS itIU reach us from all quarters in gratifying quantity. i , The whole amount will not be as latge as some imagine, but still it will have the effect to prevent present suffering, and to supply , all with necessaries for the time. Our citizens feel most deeply gratidd for the sub%tantial sympathy they havereceived in their day of affliction from their fel low-Citizens far and near, and are proving themselves worthy of neighborly kindness and assistance, by do ing their best to help themselves. OILS IC F.S.-It is suggested by acme, that the wood eacernistis, which hare hithertobeen so elaborated on ettr . best headings, should be dispensed with. .4t is said that Ow Monongahela House, which had a me tal roof, E rct caught fire by means of its large coral nice. "The Third Presbyterian Church was saved from the flames by tearing off the cornice on the south ern end of the building. fp The remark. that to be "c•ricteous costs noth ing," is not true in all cases, as is illustrated by, the position into .which the member" of Montgomery county have placed themselves by voting ou the Girard Bank Bill, in a manner that would lead the public to believe that they were in favor of reviving that swindling etiocern. Mr. B.Hili and colleague have found it rte. ...Niesaryitisaate in the public prints that the votes they pee were only through "courtesy to a portion of their donstinsents," and that they certainly would have v o t ed against the bill on its fulfil passage. Pet haps they would, bat when gentlemen permit their courtesy to lead than in the slightest degree from the plain track of democratic honesty, on questions that involve a great principle of the party, a very easy lesson from the whigeede of politeness, as taught is the cases of Bank chatters, would induce them to step beyond the bounds altogether, end land in the crooked path of federalism.

SUBSCRIPTIoNS.—TherieN ['mamas ter General has prepared instructions to deputy post masters, under the new post office law, which goes in to operation on the Ist of July next. The limitation of the franking privilege of postmasters has cut off the usual mode of transmitting subscriptions to pa pers. The following method is therefore substituted, by the Postmaster General, a provision for the trans mission of money, much preferable to that now in use. We extract it from the synopsis which the New York Herald gives of the letter of instructions: Money for newspaper subscriptions not exceeding $lO in each case, may be paid to a postmaster for the purpose of being paid to the publisher of a newspa per at any other office. The P. M. is in such case, to give to the person paying the money; a receipt therefor, and to advise forthwith the Postmaster, who is to pay said amount of such deposit.. Upon presen tation of this receipt, the amount is to be paid over. The Postmaster receiving the amount it.to debit him self therewith in ttis sccoant. end the Postmaster pay ing that amount is to oredit himself therewith in his ac count of contingent expenses.

NATIONAL INSTITUTE We give the following correspondence respecting the sarcophagus brought from Syria by Com. Elliott, U. S. N., atul deposited in the institute on the con dition of its appropriation, upon the death of Jackson, to the reception of his remains. We published io our paper of March 12, the address made by Corn. Eliott, at the stated meeting of the institute of the 10th of March, making the above proposition, and the appropriate remarks of Capt. G. W. Hughes, of the United States Topographical Engineers Corps, on the occasion. The present correspondence shows the grounds upon which the General declines the offer. This magnificent relic of ancient times, has now become the property of the institute; and - tite atten tion of the public is called to it, as one of the most remarkable and interesting objects in Washington.— It is placed is the basement story of the Parent Office. Globe. NAVY YARD, rEiILADF:LPTTIA, April 8, 1845 GENTLEIMEN:—The interest which the National In stitute has been pleased to take in the eventual bestow isent of the remains of the honored Andrew Jackson in the sarcophagus which I brought from abt nod, and deposited In your institute, makes it my business now to communicate to you a copy of his letter of the 27th ultimo, lately receivadAna Alt subject. With sentiments so congenial to his strict republic anism—and in accordance, indeed, with the republican feelings common to ourselves--he takes the ground of repugnance to connecting his name and fame in any way with imperial associations. Wa,..canuot but honor tite sentiments which have ruled his jiidgnaent in the case; for they are such as must add to the lustre of hie character. We subscribe to them onr,olves ; and while we yield to their force, we may still be permitted to contnue oar regard to the enduring marble, as to an ancient and classic relic—a eurimity in „itself, and particularly in this 'country, as the first of its kind seen in our western hemisphere. From it we would deduce the moral, that, while we would disclaim the pride, pomp and circumstance of imperial pageantry, as unfitting our institutions and professions, we would sedulously cherish the simpler republicaeprinciple of reposing our fame and honors in the hearu and affections of our countrymen. I have now, in conclusion, to say, that as the sarco phagus was originally presented with the suggestion of using it u above mentioned, I now commit it wholly to the institute as their own and sole property, exempt from any condition. lam very respectfully yours, &c., JESSE DUNCAN ELLIOTT. To the President and Directors of the National In stitute, at Washington. llaststrf•or, March 27, 1845.

Strange as it may appear, my nerves are as steady turthey were - forty:years gottiehly; whilst, from dehißLY and affiiction, I am gasping tor breath. I have read the whole proceedings of the presents- Oen, 'hy you, of the saveophagers, and :be resolUtions passed by :he board of directors, so honorable to my fame, with sensations and feelings more easily to be conjectured than by me expressed. The whole pro. ceedings call foriny most grateful thanks, 'which are Imeeby tendered to,you, and through you to the presi dent and directors of the Nationel Institute. 'But with the warmest sensations-that can inspire a grate ful heart, I must decline accepting the.bonor intended to be bestowed. 'cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an em peror or a king. My republican feelings and princi ples forbid it; the simplicity of our system of govern ment folieids it. Every monument erected to perpetu ate the Inerrfory of our heroes and statesmen ought to bear evidence of the economy and simplieiry of our republican institutions, and the plainness of our re publican citftens, who are the sovereigns of our glori ous Unien, and whose virtue is io perpetuateit./arue vit tue cannot exist where pomp and parade tthe governing passions; it cam only dwell with the pea -1 pie—the great laboring shit producing classes that furor the bone and sinew of our confederacy. For these reasons I cannot accept the honor you and the president and directors of the National Institute intended to bestow. I cannot permit my remains to be the first in these United States to be deposited in a sarcophagus made for an emperor or king. I again repeat, please accept for yourself, and convey to the president end directorsalf the National Institute, my most profound respect fbr the honor you and they in tend to bestow. I have prepored a bumble deposito ry fur my mortal body beside that wherein lies my beloved. wife, where, without any rukrep or parade, I have requested, when my God calls ale to sleep with my fathers, to be laid; for both of OW there to remain until the last trumpet sounds to call the dead to judg ment, when we, I hope, shall rise together, clothed with the heavenly bedy promised to all who believe in our glorious Redeemer, who died For us that we might live, and by whose atonement I hope fur a blessed immortality.

We have heretofore published the Protest of the Mexican Minister to this government, on the Texas question. The Washington correspondent ortheNew York Express gives the following copy of the reply of Secretary.. Buchanan: DEPARTMENT OE STATir. WAsit taotox, Nlarch 10, 1845 The undersigned, Secretary of State of the United States, has received the note of General Almonte. the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Mexican Republic, of the 6th inst, addressed to his predecessor, the Hon John C Calhoun, protesting in the name of his Government against the resolution of the late Congress for annexing Texas to the United AStatest and he has submitted the same to the Presi dent. In answer, the undersigned is instructed to say, that the admission- of Texas as one of the States of this Union, having received.the sanction of both the Legislative and Executive Departments of the Govern• ment, is now irrevocably decided, so far as the United States are concerned. Nothing but the refusal of Tex as to ratify the terms and conditions on which her ad mission depends, can defeat this object. It is, there fore, too late at present to reopen a discussion which has already been exhausted, and again prove that Tex as has long since achieved her independence of Mexi co, and now stands before the world, both de jure and de faceo, as a sovereign and independent State amid the family of nations. Sustaining this character, and having manifested a strong desire to be one of the members of our Confederacy, neither Mexico nor any nation will have just cause to complain against the United States for admitting her into the Union. The President nevertheless regrets that the govern ment of Mexico should have taken offence at these proceedings, and he earnestly trusts that hereafter it may be disposed to view them in a more favorable light. Wbit entering upon the duties of the Presidential office, lie cheerfully declares in advance, that his most strenuous efforts shall be devoted to the amicable ad justment of every caused complaint between the two governments, and to the cultivation of the kindest and most friendly relations between the sister Republics. The undersigned has the honor to transmit to Gen. Almoate his passportaecording to his request, and to assure him of his distinguished consideration and re gard.

Parliament has adjourned for the Easter holidays. A more than average portion ortioric has been trans acted during the ten or twelve weeks since the session commenced. indeed, our legis:atorkbave been for the most pert creditably and practically employed, and the cumbrous machinery of a popular body in the matter of lasv-making, has worked better and given more than ordinary satisfaction. The agriculturists have been complaint - riga their distress, and the House of Commons has resounded with the wailing. As this is the most pampered "interest"sin the nation, people laughed outright at a •grief which appeared to he atkinalated. Bakthe_ are distressed. Land lords, farmers; and' r,.labourers, are all living proofs that an act alfs went cannot conttsA l prices nor regulate the seasailis;P' ' ardoiical as it Lund, a bountiful harvest is the English farmer's worst ene my—generally his ruin. What Providence designs as a blessing to his crea tures, prevents the husbandman from paying the lord of the soil theextravmsnf rates which the latter ex acts. Rents are piteM in a high key because "pro tect ion" in guaranteed; and the interest so "protected" is the only one that does not flourish. No branch of English industry'hu ever been subject to the same vicissitudes—none has ever sent so many of its pro fessors to the workhouse. A lamentable confession this; but the truth must be told—the English aristoc met/yoke more paupers than the poorhouses can acceethriodate. Thera is nothing new in the statement. It has been satisfactorily demonstrated by figures of rhetoric and figures of arithmetic; and the debate in question brought out the odiousness of the system in its full deformity. The occasion was rendered the more remarkable by the delivery of another of those spirited philippics which.Mr D'lsraeli has tickled the House . of Commons with recently, to the infinite an noys's& of the thin-skinned Premier, at whom they are personally levelled. The wind-up of this accumu lation of bile contained en antithhsis in which there was much force, and which told, by its painful truth, —that a"Conservative Government was an organized hypocrisy." Sir Robert Peel feebly repels those fu rious onslaughts—he declines to bandy "personalities" with the clever Coningsby. Many of the Minister's friends are malicious enough to enjoy his misery; and to be thus flayed from his own side of the House ; is, of course. excellent sport for the Opposition benches. Lord Stanley has also been on the gridiron. The New Zealand Company are ably represented in the House of Commons. Some of the best speakers in that assembly are amongst its directors, and, Ewin g a strong case against the Colonial Secretary, they us ed strongAggusge in making it out. Sir Robert Peel tried to whwasb his absent colleague, and succeed ed indifferently well. But enough remained to show that, short of double dealing, Lord Stanley's want of candour in his correspondence with the Companyot • his constitutional irritability and obstinacy in carryitig out the atrangement into which his predecessor, Lord John Russell, entered with the same parties, was con duct unbecoming his office and his station. Of late years, Lord Stanley has been gradually losing cute. As a practical statesman, his failure has been patent to the world; and, removed from the scene where his powers as a sarcastic debator were felt end dreaded, he promises to sink into a sour,, disappointed employe. Long before Lord Stanley held the seals of the Coloni al Office, that establishment had become odious by mismanagement and procrastination; but, under its present chief,'it has been additionally begrimed, and one of the leading papers sugests that it should be put in "commission!" The debates on the Sugar Duties, and the other' malt •rs involved in the Budget es propounded by Sir Robert Peel, occupied the attention of the House of Commons prior to the adjournment. The Sugar Du ties were slightly altered to meet the wishes of the East. India proprietors, but the differential duly of I Os per cwt., in favor of the British colonies m the West Indieut,, remains substantially the trime. In one of these discus.ions, the cnuntly gentlemen were rough ly handled for their paltry opposition to the free im portation of grease and lard. To prevent grease from being substituted fur butter in human fetal, to the injury of the native agriculturalist, it has been custo mary, it seems, to mix it with tat; arsenic, it has been suggested, would prove a more effectual remedy, and ease, to a greeter extent, the sense of injury un der which the distressed m‘ners of the broad acres groan.'
