The Gazette•—Oregon The Gazette, having no further occasion fur Mr Bush es authority on the Oregon question, has di-mis red him, and now invites our attention to an article from the Journal of Commerce. It will be recollect ed that when we referred the Gazette to Mitchell's Map and the Family Magazine, as good authority, the editor refused so to consider them, and declared that nothing could have influence with him but official doe amen's, and forthwith we were treated to near a co lumn of extracts from an °Mein! communication of Mr ROSH on the subject. In replying to this article of the Gazette. we took the extracts from Mr Rush's letter as given in that paper, and presented them as official authority which fully sustained the position taken by us on the Oregon controversy. We see, by the Gazette of Saturday morning, that his mind has undergone a change, and we are now referred to the Journal of Commerce as good outhority,—official documents ate no longer the thing with him. Well. we have looked over the article of the Journal of Com merce, and find that it is made np plincip2lly of ex tracts from two 'Britt publications—the "Edinburg Review," and the "London Foreign Quarterly Re view," and theee, with the Journal of Commerce, i n the op . nion of ourneigbbor, is authority "not likely to be questioned," by us. Our neighbor is much Mista taken. The Journal of Commerce has never been on the Democratic side in political matters—and the on ly direct part we have known that paper to take in politics, was to favor the Native American party.— Its editor, before the native, organized as a party in New York,acted with the Whig party, though the pa. per professed neutrality. Su much for the Journal of Commerce. The British Reviews may be good au thority with our neighbor, in matters in dispnte be tween the United States and Great Britain, but for our part, we have little faith in anything said by them, on questions where England is interested either direct ly or indirectly. One of these Quarterlies, the Lon don, we believe, in referring to to the Oregon occupn tion bill, save "We venture to predict. that it will be thrown out, simply because it cannot be carried without a war with England; and there are three sound reasons why America cannot en to war—she liar neither men, owney, nor credit." The reply of the Journal of Commerce to he above insulting paragraph, is pointed and satisfactory; we wish we could say as much of its article entire. At thecommencement of the controversy with the Gazette we charged the editor of that paper n ith advocating a "compromise" with England. or in other words that he was in favor of "yielding to England the territory of Oregon north of the 49th degree. This enraged him greatly. and in his next paper we were treated to a column of as low abuse as ever disgraced * public journal. Now we find him endorsing edito rially, an article from the Journal of Commerce, in -which the editor in remarking upon the subject of •compromising at the 49th degree, says: - "If -England recedes Aiwa far from her claims, it is as math as can be reasonably expected Let Irs meet her in the same spirit. Now is the time to bring thin LAST boundary question with England to a peaceful and honorable close." The Editor of the Gazette mu.t certainly be near skin to the Frenchman's flee, of which he acid "when you put your finger upon him ho is not there." Will the editor of the Gazette say that he is in favor of a "compromize" which shall fix the 4.91 h degree of north latitude as the line between this country and Great Britain, and that to bring about a settlement of the question he is willing to yield to Englund all the territory between the 40th and 54th degree? When we receive Lis answer to the above, we will again Teatime the discussion. THE LIST OF LYTTrItS.—We have only to any , in reference to:an article which appeared in Saturday's Ariel, that the statements are untrue. It is not true that the Postmaster has disregarded the law, in giving the letter list to this Office. It is not ti ue that he has changed the arrangement of publishing in two papers —the Post Office instructions mode the change— letters cannot now be published in two papers unless directed by the Postmaster General. The statement made about the circulation of this paper needs no refutation from us; the public know 'that it is untrue, and moreover that it is made for the purpose of injuring this establishment. CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE SUPPORT Or THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.—We have been informed thnt, at a re cent meeting of the Firemen's Association, n com mittee was appointed with a view to ascertain from the agents of the various foreign Insurance Compa nies which have agencies in this city, what sum they will be willing to appropriate towards the support of the Fire Department. This is as it should be; and we hope the committee will attend strictly to their duties, and if necessary, publish the result of their labors. These foreign in• surance companies are reaping liberal profits from our citizens, without paying one dollar, in the shape of tax, to our city; and the aggregate of their risks against fire at this time, is far greater than our local offices ever enjoyed. They are, therefore, deeply in tterested in the encouragement of the Fire Department, and the public will look to them for a liberal appro priation to that useful body, more particularly as the revenue of the Department has been considerably lessened by the inability of the Pittsburgh Insurance Companies to matte donations The trial of Jabez Boyd, at West Chester, Pa, charged with murder of Wesley Patton,:was.lwought to a close on the sth inst., by the rendition ofaverdiot of rainy. The plea of insanity, which had been set up, was sustained with much ingenuity, but the facts could not be overcome. LIBKL.—The Rev, H. Righter, editor of the Na tional Protestant Magazioe was on Saturday arrested and held to bail in New York, in the earn of $5,000 to answer for a charge of libel preferred against him by the Rev. C. Sperry late of said magazine, p lum _ sea laid at $5,000. AHEAD rrr:—Col. Sam. Medary had sweet pota toes of his ow n raising on his table last week, the first in that region of his State. The Col• was the most sagacious and successful political Captain Ohio ever had, and is now going ahead of his neighbors at farm irsg. LOSS OF THE STEAMBOAT KENT AND SEVERAL VEVES. We clip from the Cleveland Herald, of Aug. 13, the fulkrwingt The Detroit Express of Tuesday evening, brings the melancholy intelligence of the loss of the steamer Kent, plying between Detroit and Buffalo, on the Canada side. The Express says "the Kent left De troit on Monday evening, at hairpin 6 o'clock, with a good load of passengers. At half past 3, on Tues day morning, L, miles this side of the "Rood Eau,' , she met the London, bcund up. A collision took place, which sunk the bow of the Kent in some five minutes, carrying down at least five individuals, and it is feared more. The following are the names given us by the Clerk of the Kent, as missing,: J. E. Quaw, Redford, Michi gan; J. Lowding, Ypsilanti, Michigan; Chas. Osborne, Genesee co., N. Y.; Mr. Demming, Berlin, Con, and grandson, from Galena; Two young ladies and a boy from near Ypsilanti name nut known All the officers and hands of the boat and seventy nine of the passenges, including 10 children, were ea ved. IVe hope these are al:, but veiy much fear it is The stern of the Kent is still afloat, and she was towed some way by the London, until finding no head way could be made, tb•y supposed that her bow had struck. The London is but little injured. When the boats struck, they were in seventy feet FIRE PROOF STREETER ES.—Every great fire we have, induces Messrs. the Public, to think of fire proof ' I hou.ies In connection with this important subject we • ' see an article in a British scientific ,iqurnol which that Dr. Fuchs. a member of the Academy of Sciences at Munich, is said to have discovered a corn -1 positition by which he renders wood incombustible; , t he composition is made of granulated earth and an , alkali. To obtain this composition, the inventor says, dissolve some moist, gravelly earth, which has been previously well washed, and cleared from any heterogeneous matter, in a solution of caustic alkali. This mixture has the property of not becoming decrial posed by tire or water.—When spread upon wood, i , forms a vitreous coat, and is proof against the two elements. 'Tis in vain to regret a misfortune, when 'tis past retrieving; but few have philosophy or strength enough to practice it. A famous physician ventured five thousand guineas upon a project in the South Sen. He was told at Gertavra3's, that 'twas all lost. “Why,', says he, "'tis but going up five thousand pair of stairs more. This answer deserved :statue. ANoTHER HONOR FOR AMERICAN SCIE/CM—The Bavari•n Minister of War, says the Philadelphia Sentinel, has otdered a Pattern Musket of the Fire Arms invented and patented by WM. W. Honartt., Esq., a Member of the Bar, of this City, to be made here and forwarded to Munlo, for the Bavarian gov ernment. It is loaded at the breach, will do execu tion a mile, and can be loaded and fired by the troops in the ranks whilst lying down, or standing erect, twenty times in lout minutes. A WINDFALL —lt is said that the Hon. Levi Lin coln, formerly Governor of Massachusetts. a member of Congress, and Collector of the Port of Boston (in which several capacities he lost his fortune) has re cently received, by the will of the late Daniel Waldo, the sum of eighty thousand dollars. ANOTHER WINDFALL.—The Bangor Gazette states that a Mr Irving, who lives at PitOrtw, Penobscot county. Me., in humble circumstances, has recently received intelligence from Scotland that his wife is heir to an estate her portion of which will amount to between one and two millions of dollars. FAA panther has made his appearance in the woods at Lnng Point, about five miles from Montreal, Canada. He has already killed several cows, and a few days agn attacked the son of a farmer in the neightroi hood. rr The Sultan of Turke) has invited M. Arno, the celebrated French astronomer, to visit Constanti nople, for the purpose of superint.nding the erection of an observatory on Seraglio Point. Native State Convention assembled at Hat.- risburgb, Pa., on Thursday, and nominated Robert H. Morton, of Dauphin County, as their candidate for Canal Commissioner. (1,7 The Albany At gas relates the following instance of sagacity in a dog, during a recent fire in that city: "A spirited, sagacious dog, that has attached herself to Engine No. 9, was seen, while the Company was giving down nobly, as nobly endeavoring to prevent the waste of water from the hose, sometimes b) place ing her mouth and then her paws upon the leak!— These sagacious efforts were witnessed by hun d reds. Smith the Razor Strop man, recently picked up a pocket book in Boston, for which a reward of ten dol lars was offered, and when tendered to him, refused it, but requested that it migit be appropriated to the necessities of a sick man in the neghborhood "who needed it more than he did." MR. WHITNEY'S EXPEDITIRS.-A letter from one of the Whitney company has been received at Roches ter. On the 14th of July, they were '2O miles West of Prairie du Chien. They expected to be 30 or 40 days more in crossing the Missouri. They travel on ly about 14 miles a day. The thermometer at 98 deg. In crowing the streams they sometimes had to unload the wagon two or three times a day,and lift it over by hand.

Frog' the reliers received by the Great Eiritain;we extract the following on the subject of the Reuel moiSment in !raised, and of the future intention of O'Connell. The weekly meeting of the Repeal Asso ciation was held on the 21st of July, Mr Magennii in the' Chair, when after the transaction of some other business, Mr O'Cosirst.rr, rose, and said as that was the last opportunity he should have in some time of address ing the Association, be considered it advisable to lay the present state of Ireland before the public. He wished it, however, to be understood, that he did not intend to be idle; on the contrary, he had cut out considerable quantity of work for himself, which would occupy him during his sojourn in the country, Mr Fitzroy Kelly, her Majesty's Solicitor General, in his late address to the electors of Cambridge, had stated that agitation and agrarian disturbances had ceased in Ireland; but as a proof of his accuracy in the affairs of Ireland, he had to state that be expected to have the pleasure of addressing 150,000 men of the county of Wisford oa the next Wednesday, and un equal number in Galway during the ensuing week. That was ne sign that the agitation was subsiding; and lest the gov ernment should forgri w that there were such people as the Irish, it was determined upon to hold two monster meetings during each month. (Cheers.) The minis try had certainly altered their tune with regard to Ire land, and Sir James Graham had retracted his ex pression, "that concession to Ireland had reached its limits," but he would never rest satisfied till Ireland was placed on a footing of perfect equality with Eng land. This country. lie regretted to say, was not in such a state of tranquility as could be desired. Pitediaedis turbancea %sus rife in many comities. In fact the country was not in such a state for twenty years past. Fermuna h was disturbed, but he could not even guess at the reason, as it was blessed with a large number of Most excellent landlords; but nevertheless, the "Mol ly Magnires," were busy in circulating their notices.— Thnt the country was disturbed, there can beam ques tion; arid was it not melancholy to have her Majesty's Solicitor General coming forward and sititL'g deliber ately, that peace order and obedience to the laws ex isted? Ves. Mr Fitzroy Kelly asserted that agitation I had ceased in Ileland, and that tranquility resigned. Whilst he gave the government credit for theit good wishes towards this country, he would ask how far had the promise held out iu the Q.Seeh ' fl speech, at the opening of the session, with regard to Irclanol, been fulfilled? The Maynooth bill had certainly been pas sed, hut that measure wee more valuable in its col !attend nature than for the endowment it conferred.— The discussions which it gave rise to plainly showed the innate hatred of the English people to the religion of the people of this country. The College Bill he might look upon as passed. and were they to consider that measure ns H boon which the Catholic prelates had pronounced ns chingerons t o f a ith and moral.? It hind been asserted that the opposition to this bill would be moderate, but he was in a position to be able to state that the opinions of the Bishops wi h regard to it were unchanged, and would continue so. it was reasonably expected that some alteration would be made in the Charitable Beque- is Act doting the present session, but the answer of Sir James Gra hnm to the question proposed by Lord Arendul, in the House ofCommints, on Friday night, has completely ' dissipated all hopes of amelioration. The Catholic Bishops, who had supported that measure solely on the ground that the amendments they suggested would be introduced, hod remonstrated with the government on the timeliery that had been practiced upon them, but the answer to their remonstrances was, that the best cons iderat ions of the government would be direct ed to the points suggested; but then best considera tions just meant no considerations :it all. After refer , ring to a variety of topics having reference to the fu• tore male of currying on the Reim? ion,Mr. O'Connell concluded by giving notice of his intention to prepare and put in form the following, hills; with a view to their edoption by the British legislature, end that each member of Parliament should be furnished witb copies of them fully six weeks before the commencement of next session, I An net to enable her mo.t gracious majesty to exeiciae, without delay, her undoubted prerogativ e t o summon her parliament of Ireland, to contain clauses declaratory— 1. 1)f her majesty's power and authority to issue writs of sum ri ms to all the peers of Ireland, end 'slits for the election of members of the HOLINC of Commons of Ireland. not to exceed the ancient number of three Itto,dted. 2: Directory of the numbers to be elected by each county it large, county of n city. and county of a town. 3.

Feustio H•RRIst If I had not a kind of possessory right to your columns as a correspondent, I should re main silent, while absent for afew days from "home." And if I were in any other place than this, you would not hear from me, until I should greet you in your new office home. But there is so much about this city to excite even wonder, as well as surprise, that to write seems to be a duty. You cannot even imagine how rapidly buildings are going up here. When I left Pittsburgh in April, a few days after the "great fire," it was a sad anti deso lute city, for the devouring flames had laid the busy portion of it in ruins. But now, how changed! Every where the hammer of the carpenter and the clink of the mason are heard,and stores and house., are rising as if by the magic power of some enchanter's wand. On Wood street, one hundred and sixty buildings, Mostly Stores, are in progress, and erected; and in beauty and elegance they far surpass those that were destroyed. There is a uniformity in the architecture that will odd very much to the beauty of this busy street. Many of the stores urn very large, and will be truly elegant. I have observed a few with old fashion ed fronts, and they look no odd as an unadorned Shak er woman beside a full-dressed fashionable lady. On Writer street, hut a few, if any lots will be va cant in 30 der, from this time. The warehouses on this street will surpass those of any city that I have ever seen. Some of them will be magnificent; and they will testify to the world, flint if Pitt-burgh were burned down, the means of its citizens were not burned up. The wt.,' kmen are busy in clearing away the rub bish from the site of the brie "Monongahela House." The walls of a new house will soon be rising, which it is said will surpass the former in elegance and splen dor. The "Metclitints' Hotel," rinw going up on Wood street, will ben vet y large end enmmodinti• horse, tist such an one as is needed, and will he profitable, in a business place like this. Who is to be "mine host" of this house, is yet uncertain. Market street, the fashioraible street of this city, is not being built up as much as Wood. IVater and Smithfield streets. This street is RIAAA AP wide on rite two sidewalks on Superior street, Cleveland. This is a little the dustiest place in this world, at this titne. I know not how many buildings hose been built and ore being built" in the burnt district " 1 should think as many en 500 cr 600 and AA a general thing, mitch better buildings than those burnt down The outward appenrnnce (titbit! part of the city will be very much improved in conserpience of the "great fire." In twelve months from this time, I believe a stranger would look in vain to find any remains of the "burnt district." Truly the energy and enterprise, and never failing industry of the people of Pittsburgh, are %of-thy of all commendation and imitation. A heavy manufacturer informed me that there had !tit/ been a single failure here in consequence of the fire, and that the deporites in hank had increased since'. the 10th of April, and the demand for money in bank verylimitedthot nil kinds of business is prosperous, and that none are discouraged or disheartened. Hie people of Pittsburgh are emphatically a work ing people. Here wealth increased from the raw ma terial, taken from the bowels and surface oldie earth; and it is impossible that such a people should not be prosperous under any circumstances. Never were public. donations bestowed upon a eeo ple more worthy to receive them, than were the dona tions made to the people here: fur if incistry, integri ty, fearless enterprise, manly wroth, hospitality, sym pathy, benevolence, and kindness of heart, exceeding notch, entitle any people to the consideration of the public, then are this people justly entitled to ir. And they here feel, more than works cart express, the fiber ality of the public to them, in their hour of need.— 1 1 Pittsburgh will prosper, and it will continue to be, as it now is. the great workshop of this country "The Allegheny Cemetery," of which you have seen mention made in the papers, is a most beautiful and lovely spot. The architect and surveyors are now engaged in laying off the ground, in carriage ways, walks and lots. It contains one hundred and fiveacres, and has every variety of ground to make it deniable as a burial place. Ido not feel like giving a descrip tion of this place, which is ao soon to pass from the possession of the now living to the dead. To me, "Hatfield" hos aunty pleasant, hallowed and emit-tir ing recollections. Here, in this venerable o:t1 man sion, I wooed and won the f purest, loveliest be ing, that ever pronounced the solemn marriage vows; and here '•I sat and watched her many a day," As Consumption was silently doing its work of deat h,nnd until her spirit took its flight to its home of bliss be yond the stars, to the bosom of her Saviour and her God. And here, beneath the "strong arms" of vener able oaks, where so often in her childhood she had i played, and where in early womanhood her mind has been "in contemplation lust," she, the loved and the I departed, sleeps in the silent grave. The birds are' singing and the sweet flowers are blooming over her grave, whose voice ever made those around her joyous end g lad, while here on earth. "I see thee still! Rememhrnnce, cuithful to her trust., Calls thee in bennty from the dust: Thou contest in the morning light, Thoiert with me through the gloomy night; In dream. I meet thee os "1 old; Then thy stilt ai ms ny neck enfold, And thy wee, voice i. in my env-. In every scene of memory dear I see thee still. I see thee still! Here was thy .roomer noon's retreat, Here wan thy favorite fire-side seat This was thy chninber—here each day I sat and watched thy sad derity, Here on this hod, thou last did li ; Here, on my bosom, thou didst Dark hour! once more tts woes unfold; As then I saw thee pale and cold I see thee still. Grave of the loved and lost;—here kindred come To water thy fresh verdure with the tears Of daily sorrow Loved grate, farewell! Thou host not buried up The rich undying Mind. Day after Day Memory restores, in mellowed loveliness Communion with thy pure and gifted soul. Oh ! if so precious be the fading bliss Of rarth.• offection how will soul adult soul Mingle with faultless union, when they rise To live forever in a hlond-sealed bond, One with the glorious Saviour." To me, this is "the holiest spot of all the earth " It is consecrated ground. Perhaps it is not meet that 1 should here speak my heart's deep grief. It it well that large cities and towns should have , beautiful and retired burial places for the dead; and it would seem as you look over the+e beautiful mounds and little glens, and valleys shaded by th 3 old forest liens, that Nature designed this as s home for the dead The walls of this old mansion, which has so often echoed the sounds of mirth and revelry, will soon echo the voice of prayer and praise to Him who is the com mon Father of its all. Soon will these fields be te nanted with the dead, and here will the living come to plant emblems of affection over the graves of the loved I anti this depettted. Yours truly, HUON. Beal Estate.

ArKENNA, Auctioneer. THE ANTI-RENT MURDER. A Fearful Ereatimtext.aA Delhi caltespondent 1 of the Albany.eveniag Journal gives seen farther particulars of this dreadful deed: It is said tbeproperty distralned Was inst field, and the Indians forbid any and all peewee entering to med dle with It, and told Pete, P Wright if he bid on the Property he would •'go home in the wagon, feet fore most." M r Wright, who is a man of great courage, let down the bars and crowded his way into the field, and was followed by Steele and Edgerton, *be mere mounted on horses. Wright was on foot. The In dians immediately forme) a semi-circle around the party. Wright standing between the horses. The chief told his men to shoot the horses, and Edgerton immediately called on the spectators, of wham there was a large number present, to assist in executing the laws. As well might he have talked t'3 the bills..— Not a finger was raised by one of them. The chief then called out to his men and said, '•Shoot the hor ses. shoot the men." The Indians, who were all armed with muskets and riffles, immediately fired a volley at the officers and their horses. Edgerton's horse reeled and fell; Steele's horse pitched and fell— Steele at the same time falling in another direction from the horse, and exclaiming, "I am shot, I am dead." Sheriff Moore immediately ran up to Steele, and,appealing to the Indians, said, "In God's name you have done enough." Steele had received three shots—one through his bowels, ono through his right side, and one through his right atm. This was at 2P. M.. and he died at 20 minute s pest 8 P. M. After this most delihetrite and fiendish murder, one would suppose the Indians would have been satisfied. but, so fur from it, they huJ a rejoicing around the field, while Steele was dying in the house. And ma ny of the spectators refused to render the least assist ance, and even to carry him to the house. After Steele was in the house, and while suffering indescrib able pain, he spoke to Earl mildly and said, •If you had Mitt! you: rent, i had not lost my life " To which Earl, with the coolness and inhumanity of a fiend, le plied, "I would not pay my rant to save forty lives!: Earl is a man worth ten thousand dollars, but not for twice ten thousand would pour Steele exchange places with him. He had far better be dead than live as be must, "dying every day lives." The writer adds: '•Somettline must be done. The people are becoming so enraged that they will not sub mit o it, and if. thorough measures are not set on firot by the State authorities to protect cur officers and cit izens in the discharge of their duty, and to ferret out these men who have thus butchered a faithful public officer in broad duy, there will be imminent danger of civil war. Hundreds of men are already talking seriously of turning out to murder and shoot down those who are arispeci.ed, and unless something is done and these outrages continue, depend upon it no efforts can restrain our citizens, whose motto will be ven geance and not justice."
