MN - Malin Morning )o t. JOHN IttGLEH, EDIIOft ,PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY JULY `26, 1845 Qom` Our answer to thf;“(4o7, ,, tte" euz l i t to Imv, sat isfied its editor, dint we do not believe " Peonpvlvania interests," in uny danger "deF•iruction." The President will act in accordance with his inaugural reltletbieation, we have no doubt, and more will not - be requise.d at his bands by the people. W can soy Wily, however. that we are as much devoted to “Penn sylvania interests," as the "Gazette" can he, and we will stand by them without faltering. But, we are that the bend of the Treasury Department, in some form, has expressed an opinion that the Tata of 1642, will require modifications. If such is the fact. the idea is not original with him; Mr Cloy, it will be remembered, in one of his letters written before the election, said that the q'arV of" IC-I'2 might be (11 fective in its details, and so, ought to be modified. 'IL/is declaration of M Clay did not alarm the editor —he said nothing then about the "destruction of Pennsylvania interest s"—but afterwards, "went 11S far as he that went farthest," in support of tiny gen tleman. After ardently supporting the very man just ly with unsettling the Tariff policy of the country, the editor has the modesty to interrogate us as to our future course? We have seen no evidence in the ''G,lzette" of repentance for having supported the man that in 183:2, opened up the dangerous ques tion of the Tariff, bing the whole business of the nation," and ruinously effecting' Penn: in tetestot." It will be time enough, we opine, after he has publicly expressed regret for his own course, to interrogate its as to what we will do if certain things, . notdreamed ofby us, should come to pass. NVe might, with as much propriety, ask he editor of the Gazette, whether he would support Jthn Tyl< r, for the Presidency. if placed in nomination I , y the Whig party. The Gazette is just about as likely to be called upon to make a decision in the matter of Mr. TYLER'S nomination, as we are in the case embraced in hia interrogatory. DEATH OF Was. STEWART AT TUE DALTisIoHE PENITENTIARY.—\9e announced a few Jays ago. says the Baltimore Atom lean Republican, that the death of Wm Stewart, crmieted of the murder of his father, was daily expected. Ile closed his mortal existence on Saturday morning, about 11 o'cleck.— The young man has been confined in the Iklar)land penitentiary not quite seven years, it being about that time since the awful deed was perpetrated, which caused his arrest and subsequent conviction of murder in the 2d degree, which consigned him within those solitary walls for the term of 18 years. His health was doubtless broken before entering the institution, as we learn he has been delicate all the time he has been there, inclined to a pulmonary affection,—which disease has at length sent Lim to an early grave.— Stewart has proven a most excellent prisoner. He told Mr Roberts that he bad not, directly or in directly, particpated in the murder; and that the first intimation which he had that the foul deed had been done, was through the officers who wrested him nt the steamboat, on the day he returned front the East ern Shore. Ile was asked if he suspicioned any per son of being the perpetrator, and after hesitattog a short time, said, that he had himself been arrested on suspicion, tried on suspicion, and convicted on sulti cion, and as he was about to appear before his Chel, and in view of the great suffering's that he had under gone, be would not let the name of the suspicioned party pass his lips. for fear that he might be as inno cent as himself.

MORE FIRE RIOTS IN PHILADELPHIA.—TLC Times says that the fire ruffians who were concerned in thebrutal fight, at the corner of Fourih and Ship pent streets, onj Sunday afternoon, that night :muster ed a party 0( about 50, and orgainizing and arming themselves marched at 12 o'clock to the house of the Franklin Engine company with the intention of destroy ing it. Some of the watchmen were stationed near the house in attempting to stop their progress were assailed with brick bats and driven off, two of them hit with the missiles and severely injured. The bells had lobe rung and thepolice called out, a hen the rioters dis persed. the whole district was thrown to a great state of excitement and Carus until the cause of rite uproar was ascertained. TEXASGEN. M. B. LAMAR.—A recent letter from It exas states that edvices from the best informed sources in that country speak confidently of the re turn of that warm-hearted and patriotic statesman, Gen. Lamar, to the United States Senate. Dr Archer, tie enthusiastic champion of independence and an nexation, is spcken of as his probable colleague.— Gen Green, Mr Webb, and the lion W. L. Casnean, have also been thought of, but not so generally and confidently as Dr Atelier. If annexation is a good thing, and to have, morn than others, helped on the final consummation a merit, then Lamar and Archer come well commended to the affections of Texasand the Union. Tin ir high ability and honorable private character will give dignity and estimation to Ilre Tex an people in the eyes ofthe diplomates at Washington. Neither are strong party men, and for that very- reason may have weight and influence in the senate chamber which it would be impossible to accord to violent par tisanship, particularly if allied to superficial talent or notorious profligacy. We rejoice that Texas is to makelher debut with so much strength and decorum. PATINV FOR THE WHISTLE —They understand the art of making money in Great Britain.

It was nn action n7ninst the lessee of Drury lane Theatre. for the breach of an ngt - eornont to engage the plaintiff for the season of]°4l, at the rate of six guineas a week, as the first light comedian. The plaintiff having been set down soon nfter the commencement of the season to play Ferdinand in the comedy of the “Tempest" refused to do so, on the ground that that character did not come within the class of the characters which a first light comedian were expected to per form; and that, in fact, John Kemble was the only first light comedian who ever performed it. Upon the plaintiff's refusal some unpleasant communications passed between him and the defendant, the result of which was that the defendant refused to allow the plain to perform any longer, and there upon this action was brought. When the case f , r the plaintiff had been stated, the consel on the part of the defendant sago,-st. ed that it would probably be more satisfactorily dis posed of by an nrbilator than by a jury. The Chief Baron did not see bow to determine whether Ferdi nand was or was not a tit character for the first light en nedinn, uniees the plaintiff produced two actors to perform it—one in the most lugubrious style, the oth er in the merriest. After such an exhibition the jury might he able to come to a decision, but not otherwise. The case might obviously to be referred. This sag. gestien was adopted, and the jury were discharged.
