ttlyc Onitu Illorning Poet. THOS. PHILLIPS & WM. H. SMITH, KDITORS PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, MAY 22, 11145 "Tutor Ocrs".—The Gazette with regret, notices a 'turn out" for higher wages among the workmen in Messrs. Bissels & Semple's, and Bailey, Brown & Ca's Iron Works. The editor's regret "arises solely from the influence the advance will have on the mar ket," and imps: "It must - be injutious - in the present !trite of affairs. it is true that the business is very brisk, the demand very - W*6, and the market inn very healthy condition. The price of Bar iron is now lower here than at any other point in the Union; and it is this fact, together with the natural increase in the consumption, which has given so great nn imretus to the trade. It is of the greatest importance to its continuance that this state. of things should remain undisturbed. The mar ket, under such a condition of circumstances, must grow stronger, and, with every nccession of this kind, enhance the prospetity of the operatives." Why this state of the iron business should be consid ered a sufficient reason to deter the operatives in the mill, from demanding an increase of wages, we cannot understand. "Business is very brisk. the demand very large. and the market in a very heah hy condition." and of -ovirse this state of things will bring a larger profit to the employer, require more labor from his workmen, and . we do not think it unreasonable that they short hi, under these circumstances, demand an increase -r wages. If the price of Par iron is lower here than at any other point in the Unioo.a small advance cannot in sure our market. The reputation of the Pittsburgh article is will established, and un!ess the increase would be quite unreasonable, it would cause no dial nutioo in the sales of th , . manufacturer. But, ts edo not believe that it would be necessary for them to in etease the prices if they would seise the wages of the workmen. We believe they could do it at the present prices and still realize a handscme profit on their manufactures. No men were benefitted more by the Tariff of 1842, then the Iron Manufacturers of our city. We were told of one house that would realize over $lOO,- 000, on the iron they had manufacturetl, by the in crease ofprices that was caused by the pegs's ge of t he tar iff. But vre did net hear of any corres pond ng ncrease in the wages of ;he operatives; they had to toil on at the old prices without thinking to ask for an advance. We have always been the advocates of a system of protection for not only our manufacturing, but for ev ery other productive interest of our country.' And when thisprotection is afforded, we do not think it un reasonable for those by whose toil and skill capitalists 'expect tn_ gain large returns nu their investments, to demand n small increase of the portion,' of the wealth they produce We are told thnt the great object of n tariff is to protect the productive labor of the country. If this in true, the tariff of '92, has not been very successful in accomplishing ire object, for the labor of the country receives no granter reward now, than it did before the adoption of that law; but the capital that speculates on labor, pockets all its advantages. We have not heard what are the demands made by the workmen in the mills ref - eyed to above, but we can not suppose that they are unreasonable, and we hope the employers will see the propriety of granting their request. nes FuNn.—Tbe fund for the relief of the suf. fems by the fire is reported to amount to $181,977 63. It will no doubt exceed $llOO,OOO. Many arc anxious to know when - the Councils intend to distribute this fund, or whether they have yet settled on any equitable plan for slotting it to the sufferers. We do not sup pose that any of the plans that have been suggested through the public prints, would meet with the appro bation of the Councils, as all of them contained pro visions that did not accord with the wishes of the contributors. We have not heard any thing on this subject, of late, and we would like to know in what manner the Councils propose to proceed, so that we can give the much desired information to the public. The time of distribution, too, is ticsiously required. of the money is to be given to the sufferers. Hundreds have been waiting since the 10th of lust month to re ceive a portion of this relief which has been gener ously provided for their wants by the citizens of other places, and if they are compelled to wait much longer they may well exclaim that their "sufferings is intoler able." We hope, fur the cause of humanity, that an early move will be made in this matter, and that the messeywill be paid over to those for Vl hOM it was in;en - sled. all'How is it that nu r PittAhureh exclringea full to be mailed, or at least fail to he received in this city, whenever they are supposed to contain nnv thing par tiOularly important to our citizens.

NLNV YORX, May 18, 1845. I have just arrived in this great Babel from the 1 1 more peaceful and lady-like city of Boston. To-day is cold and wet—every person I meet is grumbling at the weather and talking about the great Race. The excitement is not yet over; and will not be fur some days. The Southerners are crow ing over their triumph, while the folks here North, are blustering and swear ing—say it was not fair, there were jockeying—and want another trial. There is a rumor that the owner of Peytona is going over the water, with a view to try the English nags. The new City Government is now organized. A great many predictions are daily made as to the good things which the new Mayor will do fur the people. There is great room for reform in every direction—for such streets are a disgrace to Alleghania. Pittsburgh, with all its smoke and soot, in a more pleasant city.— The fashiorable Broadway, of which so much has been said and written, is not no very attractive, nor indeed is it remarkably broad. Whether the new ad ministration will, or can, do any thing in the woy of street cleaning, remains to be seen. It will he an Herculean task. Daniel Webster is nt the Astor !louse, as I ere by the papers, for I hare not heard a word said about him by any whip or democrat. '•IIow are the mighty The newspiper business is over-:lone in this city.— Many have been suspended, and it is supposed that more o ill follow. There ore hosts of printers out of employment; and to make the matter worse, Jours are arriving, daily from abroad. They can't all live, that's certain. And yet, bad ns this may appear, it is no worse than other branches of business. Doubtless there are hosts of lawyers, doctors, &c. starving fur something to do. The Infidels are down on Greely for charging them with bring ugly. They think they look cc well as most folks, all will say that Mr Greely was looking. at Christians who attended the convention as spectators. Thus it stands. The friends and admirers of Robett Owen nelebrn ted the anniversary of his 74th birth dny, on the even ing of the 14th inst. The old fellow is now at Skrineattlas. 1 have seen (not tasted) some large good looking pea hes, p own in a hot house. They are enough to make one's mouth water; just at this season, of all others, when green luxuries are scarce. Ex-Gtv. Seward is here. on professional business. The new Postmaster is. I think, a popular appoint ment. The Whigs think he'll do. He appoints sixty five clerks. The New Yri-k papers have given you, ere this, an account of the Hoboken murder. This is the nest excitable on the topics. How long it will last I don't know; but etch-penny editors will make it do till something singular occurs, which, in this region, will not be long. There was a fire in some part of the city this morn irg, which stirred out the Firemen to the rescue, end the upper "ten thousand" jumped up to fill the walls. It ended in smoke. The small-pox is prevalent here; some appear alarmed about it. The Swallow has been raised. Two more bodies have been found, supposed to have been lust from her. J. D. T. GREAT FOOT RACE.-It IS said that a great font race is to come off over the Beacon course, Hoboken, N. Y. on or about the 15th of next month, for $l5OO to $3000• In this affair it is expected that there will he ..ome native agility displayed, thst will astonish pedestrians throughout the world. MARYLAND STATE TAX.-it appears that many of the counties of the good Whig State of Maryland, have taken a bold position in favor of repudiation and refuse to pay the taxes necessary to carry on the goveroment,and the authorities find it imperative to a dopt some means that will compel them to act like hon est citizens. The Anapolis Star says, the Attorney Gen eral, Mr Richardson, has gone to Calvert County, to advise with the Commissioners of that county upon tho subjea of the Tax laws; should they refuse to ex_ ecute them, the Governor will appoint a collector of the Tax and demand the assessment books of the Commissioners. In the event of a denial to deliver over the assessment books, it is the intention of the Attorney General to apply to the court now in session for a mandamus against the Commissioners, or a sub !Jana ducts leerier. D'The new Anthracite Furnace now in progress of erection by the Messrs.

So says the Boston Post. Jou N C CALHOT: s .—Mr. Calhoun (says the Pendle ton Messenger,) is now at his residence near this place, busily engaged in agricultural pursuits. He seems to have entirely recovered from the attack of sickness which he had et Washington. We under stand that his correspondence is large, and we think it nothing but right to remind those who write to him on businesi of their cwn, that lie no longer enjoys the franking privilege, and that his postage bill must be a hcn v one. 1317N:41:1G DOCJ-EXPREBILS —The French "Courier" of New York Ptnte s that two Englishmes in Belgium havo formed a company to run a letter-express on the railroad, by harnessing grey hounds tolight cars and suspending bits rf meat before them by a rod ex tending forward from the carriage! They travel it is said, with prodigious velocity, and have the advantage over our engines, of giving out no cinders to the eyes of passengers.' SALICER E. -A writer in the Washington Union says, it is understood to be the design of the medical department of the army, to have this medicine tried on s large scale, at one or two posts, on our south-western frontier, with the view of determining its precise value. Salicene, as its name imports, is obtained from the bark of the willow. It is prepared in France, and appears in the form of a clear white powder. It pos sesses many of the proprieties of quinine, and in cases of extreme debility, is preferred to it by many judi cious physicians.

The stock will no doubt be promptly subscribed, and we also learn that the gentle men engaged in this enterprise, are investigating, not only the merits of the Morse Telegraph in this coun try, but of the Wheatstone and other Telegraphs in Europe. They are moreover about to avail them selves of the information of a distinguished American engineer now in Europe, who is examining the various lines and plans." Il A!I 01110.—The London News says, it would disa buse the public mind of a vulgar error in relation to the sufferings of those Who are hung. They are generally very slight. In the act of execution, "the tooth ofthe sixth vertical vertebrxe. which in life is held from press ing on the spinal marrow by a ligament, is jerked for ward, the ligament broken, the fatal pressure induced, and life and sensation are extinguished together. RIOT OK TM{ MORRIS CAMAT..—A setious riot oc curred a few days ago among the laborers employed in enlarging the Morris Canal in the vicinity of Dover. in Morris count•, N.

LATER FROM TEXAS The, steamship New York, Capt Wright, arrived at New Orleans on the I Oat instant, from Galveston, whence she sailed on the Bth inst. She brings the Picayune papers from Galveston to the 7th. Among her passengers were Major Dunelson, the U S Charge and Gov Yell, of Arkansas. Gen Houston, with his wife and son, arrived at Galveston on the 3d instant, horn his farm on the Trinity. He proposed to visit the seat of Government of Texas, and will then come at once to the U. States. he being extremely solicitous to see Gen Jackson once again before the death of the latter, which appears so imminent. He yields to Annexation as a matter of necessity. if not of choice. Mr Wickliffe the ex-Postmaster General, was at Galveston on the 7th inst. There is no limit to the enthusiasm ofthe people of Texas in regard to annexation. The only trouble with them appears to he, whether to meet in convention and form a constitution fur "the State of Texas" prior or subsequent to the meeting of Congress. The Hon E Allen, the acting Secretary of State, ar rived at Houston on the 22d ult. The Telegraph as sures us that he is an ardent friend of annexation. and is desirous that ''the great measure should be consum mated at the earliest practicable period." The papers have some rumors of disaffection to the Mexican government in some of her Northern depart ments. The "wish may be father to the thought." in this case. We have probably as late advice. here as to the movements of General Arista as have been re ceived in Texas. THE CAPTURED SLAVERS Tt e Boston A dvertisergi ves the following particulars relative to the schooner Spitfire, brought into that pot-- as a slaver:— "List of passengers on hoard the Spitfire at thetime of her seizure, and who are sent in her to the United States: Peter Flowery, captain; Ferdinand Weitz, William Otter, Henry Tanferman, William Pense, Frederick Ennera, Antonio Del Mijo, Ebenezer Jack son. "Some of the Spitfire's crew were very troublesome on the passage, and two of them, a Spaniard and at negro, who quarrelled, were brought in ironed. Lieut. Ried found it necessary to use the utmo=t vigilance, and has not been undressed since he took command of the vessel. The prisoners were committed to die U. S. authorities, and the proper measu es taken for their arraignment. ..The Spitfire is a clipper-built schooner of 130 tons. She is flush on deck—has two small houses aft, one on each quarter, and a small trunk to the cabin. Her bulwarks are high for her size, and she has a tier of ports on each side, but no guns mounted. Outside she is painted a shade whiter than blue, and inside buff colour. Her cabin, which has not accomodations for more than six white persons, we understand contained, nt one time, 50 female skives! "She is rigged in nearly the same style as the U. S. revenue cutter Hamilton, excepting that .he has a fore-topgallant yard aloft. At present she is light, ani weather-beaten, but if painted and properly trimmed. she would look very well. She is now at anchor off the navy yard, Charlestown." Further particulars of the Hoboken Murder— Suicide and Insanity of Mrs Pennoyer.—We have gleaned some further particulars of this strange and melancholy affair, which if correct, places the murder ess in a somewhat (Efferent light before the public. This unfin innate woman, until recently. had been em ployed as a domestic in the family of :11r. A. C. Van Epps. w h o states that she had invariably shown the most kind and amiable disposition,—that she was a di-tuber of the Presbyterian Church, and the mother of a large and interesting fa-rtily, fur whom she always manifested the deepest maternal regard, and invariably imparted to them instructions becoming a mother and a christian. Mr. Van Epps olso says that fur some time previous to her leaving his family. lie had observl ed a strange and singular manner apparent in all her actions, and he was led to remark his conviction of her insanity. Her children, also, have the same opin ion. We have also heard that Mrs. Pennoyer had at tended Htr brother in previous sickness wit h much rare and attention. Heryuungest child, an intelligent girl of about 12 years of age is now at the house 0f Mr. Van Epps, and the scene which took place when her mother's death was revealed to her, is declaredao have been agonizing in the extreme. Mrs. Pennoyer, du ring her confinement in prison. manifested but little feeling—refusing to partake of food, and resolutely de• claret! her innocence to the last. She was briried on Wednesday on Bergen Hill. Theodore Pennoyer end William Dean, who were arrested on Thursday, on suspicion of being concern ed in the murder of Scudder were yesterday examined and discharged, as nothing could be found against them.—N.
