PITTSBURGH, MONDAY MAY 2G, 1815.
THE BURNT DIiTRICT.—The appearance of ma
ny portiens of the Burnt District is undergoing a rapid
change, wad in the course of a few months the mo,it
valuable parts of it will present a very different aspect.
Along Wood street there 'are some blocks, the length
of u whole square, built up to the first and second sto_
ries, and in t few weeks mote they will be tinder roof.
A number of beildings are already finished, and prepa
rations are making for several hundreds more. Be
. fore winter sets in, we expect that, the burnt district
- will present the appearance of a handsome new town;
and in the course of n year or two. it will be as com
pletely annexed to the other portions of the city as it
was before the "Union was dissolved" by the fire of
the 10th of April.
. 1 911 THAN ASTLUM.—We learn from a report of the
Troainrer,publisted in the Catholic of Saturday, that
the ladies who have undertaken to raise funds for the
support of St Paul's Orphan Asylum, have already
collected $730,47. This amount it as all raised by
small contributions, which were but trifling to the
donors, bat which, in the aggregate, make a very hand
some bum for the truly laudable purpose to which it
will be applied.

THR CROPS.—The editor of the New town Journal,
who has been taking a tour through port of Becks ,
Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Delaware counties,
Pa., and Delaware State, notices the fine appearance
°Fall kinds of vegetation. The wheat crop, especi
ally, looks unusually fine. Several old farmers in the
viciuity of the Brandywine any they never saw a finer
prospect of winter grain. The corn in that section is
up nod growing finely—many of the farmers were al
ready harrowing it. Oats generally looked fine.
The lone drought has kept back the crops in this
quarter, but the refreshing rains of last week gave
them a start and they now Inok quite flourishing.
THE SCREWS vs. PADDLE-WHEELS.--A Landon

To PREVENT STEAM. EXPLOSIONS —A corregpon
dent of the Mining Journal (Eng.) ,ays that stetr•
boiler explosions may be prevented by the vet y Qimple
plan of hating a small hole drilled in the plate imtne

rFA novel trick has been played off in the *. varion s

This is an encouraging aspect of the affairs of our
state, and gives a cheering presage of tbo speedy
!and permanent restoration of the credit of Pennsylva-
Mato its former standing. The only drawback is her
probable inability to pay the August dividend in full
Under these circumstances, we hope our city authori_
ties will resolve to restore to the Treasury the $50,000
that was appropriated to the relief of the sufferers by
the fire. We have no right to accept that sum, and if
the individual contributions are properly distributed,
we will not need it as much as the state will. A large
majority of the sufferers themselves are in favor of
returning it, and we hope the Councils will carry out
their patriotic wishes by reappropriating it to the main
tenance of the credit of the State.
npAn immense number of travelers from the U
nited States are going to Europe this season. It is in.
timated that they will amount to upwards of two
thousand. The Hibernia, which sailed on last Satur
day, took out one hundred and two passengers. In a
little time a trip to Liverpool or Havre, will not be of
much more importanc e than one to New Oriel/n.4.
