Sb/TTEI, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY MAY 20, 1845 'it* RILIEF FOND.—We are unable to give any tatisfactory reply to the many inquiries that are made ea to the manner in which the Councils hive conclu ded to distribute the Relief Fund, or whether they „Alava yet settled upon any plan fur its distribution. A are equally uninformed as to the time they a ill oommetsee distributing it, or a lietber any of the 'of firers have yet received pecuniary aid. We think, however, that none of the money has been distributed, as most of those who have made the above inquiries - Aare persons who have suffered severely bythe fire, and who wciuld have received a share of the contribution s if the Fund Committee had commenced payin g out. Many think it strange that the means placed in die hand' of the Councils for the relief of the sufferers hive hot been more profriptly applied to the l urpose for which they were contiihuted. Nearly six weeks have elapsed and we have not heard that any of the money received has been disbursed. We doubt nut but many of those who were left to tally deititute--whose little all was swept away by the terrible calamity, have been waiting anxiously for a portion of the funds that have been provided to give them another small start in the world. It would re quire but little to enable many of the sufferers to com mence the business in which they were engaged, but without this little they have no hope except from the assistance of f.iends who, perhaps, have but small mew), to aid them. As vie have not of late heard of any scheme for /easing oat the contributions, we suppose that project has bean abandoned, and when the mosey is distribu ted it will be dune according to the wishes of the do nors. If over the Councils bad favored the scheme of distributing the money in such a way as would even teeny bring it back to the city Treasury, we suppose they have abandoned it. The objections to this plan were so strong and so obsions, 'and so plainly ex pressed by eine-tenths of the community, that it was evident that to carry it out would have created the , greatest disaatisfaction. Jt would have been such a manifest disregard of the wisbes of those who con tribeted to the fund for the relief of the sufferers, and would have been so di.graceful to our city, that no one who bad any regard fur the honor of Pittsburgh would countenance it for a -moment The money Was contributed to be presented to the sufferers ao a free gift, and it never was intended that *bona who received it should- be placed under any obli gations to pay it bock to the Councils, to be used for purposes nevercontemplated by the generous donors. We hope that when the Councils commence dig. barging this fund they w ill let the public understand disdnotly that it is given, not loaned to these who re eeise it. The pilmny papers this morning have therelief fund - report. The reason they had none on Saturday, was that noun was published in our paper of Friday aftet soon, for Ikon to report from.—American. From the above we infer that the American is the Airily paper that the Fut.d Committee desire to insert p,rocedings. To publish matter of public inter est in the columns of that paper only, is the next thing tersippresing it entirely. We do not understand, why the matumittee should act so. We have not bawd of 44 thing In their conduct in connection with the relief feed, that should make thorn reluctant to have their imports published in papers that are read by the pea. phi. But they know whet suits them best, and if they aerie It advisable that information respecting the re- Bel (stud should reach the smallest possible number of , the citizens, they have been vary fortunate in selecting • the American for their official organ. tr'Tbet American is mistaken in supposing there stris no wind during the fire in Allegheny. Those who awe present know that there was a very high wind. +ilia from the manner in which the flames were wafted about, great apprehensions were felt that the fire would spread to au extent hut little short of the conflagiation in this city. -Lis Oea TIMM PIUNCIPLIC.—Ibe Washington Union seys:—"The President has already declared 'morn, than once that he himself will nofbe a condi. date for a second term of of He has autnorized us to declare it again in the prospectus which we have submitted to the nation as the creed of our awn faith and the guide of our own course.

PRO SECT DT ANOTHER RACE BETWEEN FASHION •ND PETToNA.—The Philadelp:tia Ledger says tha t Peyton R Johnson, of the Canton Course, Baltimore, 1 is trying to make a puree heavy enough to draw Pey. lona and Fashion there next June. It appears he has a promise from the owner of the former that that cel ebrated mare shall meet Fashion on the Canton Course, if her friends agree to the proposal. The New YorkTo:pies* of Thursday sap:— ..We hear a rumor that the owner of Fashion has offered to run her against Peytona, over the same course an befote, for tss WO, to-morrow." The New York Mirror of Thursday say ; . : — "We heard it murmured about, last night, that another race between Peytona and Fashion, and fi.r much larger stakes, was already agreed upon, and that it would come off within two weeks." The New York correspondent of the Philadelphor Ledger says:— "The fact appears to be that Fushion has challenged Peyton, to repent the race, ender preciiety the same artangeinents and for the same stake, on the Trenton Course, at a very early day. Ido not learn. anthem. tically, that the Peytontans have accepted the dl-, lenge. hut it appears to be the prevailing impressioan' that they will, and that the race will take place in a few dal R.

Officers were employed to search fur and arrest the two young men accused of being partieeps eriminis with the suicide, Mrs Pennoyer, in the murder of her brother! After diligent and prompt search, they suc ceeded in arresting Pennoyer in the Bth avenue., New York, his carpet bag in his hand reedy for a start, I and at a house in Bth avenue near 34th st., Wm.

The two men were removed to Hud son county jail.that afternoon by the officers. We have had a hearty laugh at the manifesta tion of impudence put forth in some of the fides of th e late Engl ish papers, received by the last foreign arrival: The most prominent feature of these "forcibles fables" of the London tory press, (says the Boston Post) is the cool impudence with which they talk of the plunder of the territory by the United States, and her grasping avnrice with acquisition! Here is the robber nation of the world, with her hands full of the plunder and ted with tlto blood of oppressed millions in every quarter of the globe, with her iron heel on Ireland, and her death grasp at the throat of pair India, reading to the United States ho- mulles upon ambition and the lust of territorial aggran dizement! The same presses thatealk of the atrocity of the Uni 1 ted States peacefully annexing Texas by the consent o 1 its people, and extending its plutect ion over its own ! citizens in its own territory of Oregon, contain accounts' from the east of further robberies upon the gallant and hatoktered Afghans, and expeditions fitting out by Sir Charles Napier to suppress revolutions in the Punjaub, and to chastise the Khan of Klialet forallowing his sub jects to invade the British territory in the Scinde! And these empires in India, larger than Texas and Or egon united, have all been plundered by England from the native sovereigns, by the vilest system of rapine and lawless conquest; and all we know for certain. says the "Friend of India," is that the country has been the scene of mutiny, amine, disgrace and death' ever since it came into the British possession. What magnificent hypocrites these British are, to whine over Texas mid black slavery in the United States, while England has her hundred millions of white slaves in Hindustan, her wretched masses at' home toting for pampered privilege at the point of star vation, and wrongoppression of her infliction, crying for vengence tarough the habitable globe!

S Having taken a prize, and been enabled thereby to 'collect some little information respecting the slave trade, I take the liberty of transmitting you the same, hoping it may prove acceptable. Our prize is the schooner Spitfire of New Orleans, and the facts we are in possession of respecting her are as follows:—That she left Baltimore as the Cava liero in November, 1893, a ith a coasting license; pro ceeded to New York and cleared from thence for the Cape de Verds, but came direct to the River Pongos, discharged the most of her cargo there, and after a alma cruise down the coast returned, and was sold at the River Pongo for $lO.OOO, Captain Morton Gordon still retained the command. He then conk in 946 slaves from the factory of Mr Faber, and after a pas sage of 28 days landed them in Cuba, Mr Faber going in her as passenger, They were landed about thirty miles from Matanzas, about 8 o'clock, P. M. and Capt. Gordon and crew leaving her Immediately. The Spaniards took command and sailed the same evening from the landing place. This was in April. 1844. Capt Gordon and Mr Faber proceeded to the States, and in the summer of 1644 went to Baltimore and bought or built the schooner Manchester and Dever oux, which vessel left Baltimore August 6th, the Man chester under the command of Morton Gordon, and the Deveroux under the command of George Gordon. The Nlancliester proceeded to Portland, and the other to Boston, where she was joined by her consort and both vessels commenced loading for a trading voyage on the coast of Aft ice and the Cape de Verd Islands • but beating a suvicious appearance they were seized and thoroughly searched. You no donut remember the orrui renro, and that they were released and paid fur their detention, having nothing on beard to condemn diem.

The Union adds that Mr. Blair has received n let ter from the General, dated on the 7th inst., three days after the date of the above letter, stating that he had attempted to write to him but his great feebleness had prevented biro from finishing his letter.

Still it was difficult to borye lieve the man had made use of no other application than tar and oakum; and how they should cure a broken leg in 3 days. even if they would cure it at all, was a matter of the utmost wonder. Several letters passed between the Society and the patient, who persevered in the solemn assertions of having used no other rem edies, and it does appear beyond a doubt that the man speaks the truth.
