RAIL ROAD BRIDGE ON FIRF... — We learn from the

'THE Dusts SHALL SP:!AK. ! —Dr. Bartlett, writing
from Vienna to the Lowell Courier, gives an interest•
ing account of the progress made at the Berlin Insti!•! r
tutioni under Dr. Mullen, in teaching the dumb to!
speak, and in elevating imbecile children and youth s
to rational. intelligent men and women! A girl born
deaf and dumb, was shed how many brothers arid'
sisters she had, which she readily answered, and then
gave their names. She then told the color cf the ta
ble, its shape,—saying it is not round, it is square,
—the kind of wood of which it was made, and so on
The plan of instruction is very simple. The pupils!
by placing the hands or fingers on the throat of the!
teacher, so as to feel the voice, and then by plscingl
them on their own, for the some purpose, by imitating
the motions of the teacher's lips, and tongue, and
jaws—aud by similar means, come at last to utter the
elementary sounds. They are then carried along from
the easier and simple methods of speech to the more
difficult : The idiots arc educated with the same won.l
derful simplicity. Dr. Bartlett say:—"One little fel-
low, with a now thoughtful and intelligent Ewe, inter-
estod us exceediegly. He was very intently and
earnestly at work, writing upon his slate; and for three
months after his entrance, he was unable to fix either
his attention or his eye upon anything. Another boy
considerably advanced,—we cannot nay in the recov
ery, but in the creation, or devalr,pement of hip reason,
was endeavoring to instruct a third, on whose face
still rested the blank and void expression of idiocy.
WHET I.V ICMl.—Accounts from lowa teuritor)
represent the growing wheat crop as in a suffering
condition. The winter, up to last accounts from the
West. has been a singular one; mostly pleasant. But
very little snow had fallen, and there was no sleighing
to speak of. Much wheat is represented to have been
killed, and many fields arpear to be dead, though it
arts hoped a spell of favorable winter and spring wea
ther would revive them.
An ANcian r Buttmum.—The President's house of
Flervatd College, recently occupied by President Quin
cy, is, according to the most accurate accounts, about
one hundred and thirty years old. The house first
built for the Presidents, and once occupied by old Pres
ident Dimmer, first Ptesident of rho College, is still
standing, and ea& built it is believed, previous to the
seer 1610.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL—PRISONER

Early this morning, Mr WATSGS keeper of the Dau
phin county prison, on going the rounds as USUSI, found
that the colored man named Gibbs, the same fellow
that attempted an escape some weeks since had bror
ken out of his cell; as soon as tie keeper had entered
end locked the door after him, Gibbs stepped up to
him and demanded nine keys, stating, that his death
would certainly ensue if In• refused, and immediately
clinched the keeper—a senifil I took place, but Gibbs
being a powerful man grit Watson down and was thin•
king him. Tine keeper grasped the culprit closely and
during the struggle drew Item his pocket one of Colts
revolving pistols, and whilst in tine embrace of the
monster, shot him tis ice in the side, but did not seri
ously injure hint, 'I his ...nosed Gibbs to relinquish
his grasp. Both immediately rose to their feet, the
prisoner retreated rapid!) to his cell, fur the purposti.
as Mr Watson sopponned n ipnncurirg some bar on bolt
with which in take his life. Mr W. then fired liar
third time and shot Initn through the heart, aniline died
instantly. anhins was an old offender, having served

retentretivee;—th -t nor Representatives be and they
I are hereby iusilurted not only to mite for granting I h;•
right of way, but to line 1111 honorable means to Of, t
the same.
Resolved. That in rase the Baltimore anti Obin

potation and credit of our state.
Resolved, That the people composing this meet•

irate on the National Road—and although the can
structiim of the Railroad will take off the road, the
lines of stag...rand partially utfect oar Borough—yet we

Tke Oregon Question.—The Patrick Henry on
rived on the 2d of March carrying out intelligence of
the refusal of this government to übitrate on the Ore
gon difficulty. The news was sent from Liverpool to
London by express. Not much was said in the Lon;
dun journals on the subject, though they publish oh.
streets of the correspondence between Messrs Bt.-
chanan and Pakenhum.
The London Standard says thnt the President has
"abated none of that rabid violence which has cinrnc•
terizod all his official proceedings in regard to Eng
land," and adds that there can be no clearer indica
tion of Mr Polk's wishes and intentions thar is to be
found in his answer to Mr Pukenham's offer. The
Standard adds:
"Rut will the American Congress condemn the in
solent and unwarrantable tore adopted by this brag
gnrci! We think not, If we are to form any judge
ment of the opinons of the Amen imp' people genet-ally,
in repod to thin qnestion, from the most respectable
portion of the American press, there will Le no war,
fur nine of these journals out of ten denounce the con
dor( of Mr. Polk in terms of strong, and we doubt not
niticere teprobation. America :an gain nothing by a
wet with :his countt); oliilnt her sartilices, as the
New Yolk Enquirer has shown, must be enormous.—
, If slog calculates no far on the pacific disposition of
England as to attempt to obtain the vantage ground by
insolence and Inaggnolocia, she will have bitter rea
son to repent of her misstake.

"The American question, though Still unsettled,

The Journal Des Debate dwells upon the evils that
would result to both countries, and especially to the
United States, from war between them and Gteat Bri-
tain. The Debuts points out at length, bum our corn
mere.° would suffer, and thinks peat efforts would be
made by England in the South for the emancipation

"UNBLUSHING FRAUDBI't
OFPICE 07 THE CANTON TC• COMPANY, /
New York, March 16, 1846
To the inkabitants of Pittsburgh, Allegheny, and
the surrounding country.
OTIR attention has this day been directed to an ars
tide that appeared in the "Pillsbstrgk Daily
American," under date of sth March instant, headed
as above—and which has also appeared subsequently,
in several of the Pittsburgh newspapers. We hasten
to reply thereto.
We find that through these media we are successive.
ly charged with flagrant violations of the principles
of truth and justice; but we are prepared to 'give you a
triumphant vindication of our character. We, howev
er, exceedingly regret that in so doing, we shall hove
to allude to our !expected contemporaries the "Pekin
Tea Company of New York"—their position—their
history, and their manner of doing business will nc
cessarily, in some degree, hare to come underexami
nation. All that we can do is to endeavor to keep
the following developments within the limits of your
neighborhood; out of which locality, we trust, for the
credit's sake of whom it may concern. the questions
at issue may remain undiscussed. Far from having
amnlicious intention in what we are about to divulge,
we do so merely from the very justifiable motive of
self protection—we would fain tender good for evil; 1
this we ardently declare. Taking this laudable stand
we reply, first, to the charge as follows:
" They ( he Conies Tea Company) have publish
ed a handbill, in which they have appropriated. word
for word, the favorable nor ices of the Pekin Compre
ny's teas in all the lesdieg journals of New York and
other ci•irs, simply alter ing the name of the Company
from the Pekin to the Canton Tea Company."
And farther down in the column this charge is re
rented, though modified tsio
- ibis handbill bears the imiireas of the Company,
and appears miliave been i,.ued, if not by it, at leant
upon its author sty."
Now we deny ever issuing—we deny e v e r °whnr•
izing—we deny ever prr,sing such n handbill
'Fluty we cannot always control the actinns of ant
agent a. fit a remote distance, in relation to the meth-
ids they employ to facilitate the Aide of our Tea.: hint
uy soon as w e discover any thing improper in thi. re•
specs. we invloriably disernintenance it, and nrgt. !lot
M. strict regard to honor and uprightness might char:re-
Foible all the means they use for their disposition
By one of our remote Agents, probably, the handbill
in rprovtion mac have been is.oreil, but we deny that it
ever had our sandlot, or authority.
We cannot, lion ever, dismiss this subject without
touching mom the morality of these notices. 'I hey are
represented Sfs erninating, sponioneovay, from th e
Editors of New York and other Newspapers, and to
tr i te fr o m an impression of the great commercial ar-t
rangementr. end general appreciation of the teas of
the Pekin Tea Company. We beg loave to set you
right on that subject. We are prepared to prove, on
oath if riluired, that every favorable notice in the
' New .York papers, referred to, were cutting by I
llke Pekin Tea Company TH "1.1. Y Csoind that arm eat
in every case the said New York papers were pun,
for their insertion. When thi- was not literary the
case. the said —favorable notices" were insetted i n
co trident ion of an expcnsive advertisement being le.-
' stoned upon the papery whetein such editorials appear
ed. All this we ore prepared to prove—first by the
admission of one of then own Agents (fiumilton)—
secondly. by the advertising Agent they formerly Ern
i played—thirdly, by the testimony of most of the New
York Editors themselves. Sir mind' for their "favor
. able notices in the public prints."
I The method we adorned in prosecuting oat bUsines.
boing e.sentially at variance with any InmiinCat lon of
rtKa f tan. Win never resort to the publication of •itelt
out ices. Every business Man in Now York is well nr•
yu ,lard o rill the origin as well a, the merit...l such
editor onicg to which its ullhity here has long
s t n e e ceased, and it rather dirmni-hos I han add: to the
respectatority of any New York est a idiThm en s,
W e next review the paragraph wherein we are
, cio,rged ns ftatolul+nt ont/ar,,a , of the Pekin Com
11.1ny. It wit be found nearly Al the head of the said ar•
trete. It read; us follow,:
"It is well known to most of our readers that
Pekes Tea Company of New York. nn Association of,
heavy cal - testis's of that city, have established Beets
ere* in I'ekin and Canton for tie porpose of selecting
Teas, and putting them up there, from whence they
are shipped direct to the Company at New York.—
] hese teas have obtained a bight reputation, arid hive
Lareonte the subject of fterpierit notices in the public
prints. The sureyss of this Company has, induced
the oigiao,tioir of another railed the 'Careen Tea
Company,' who admit that they are not impanels. out
pUrehasa their - fees fl OM the promiscuous arrivals ie
New leek, where they are put up in a manner to im
itate those kf the Pekin Tea Company."
Now, in the latter part of this pat agrnph instated n
fatsekood ar glarine. that an attempt to support it in
any Atlantic city would sultjsct any editor to unisersal
and in New York he would be mended as
ista/neat , knave, if me on absolute madman. We
are :t w o ,' d o .' to feel tire ;toy Pittsburgh editor, hay.
log access (as mu.t necessarily be the rase) to New
Yolk journals for serifs past. can he so deplorably ig
norant of the fact that the GilffliON Tea Company knee
been established en New York VIVI, YE A its!—and alto,
dint the Prism Company hoer only existed T V.
PI 0 .7 , lII ,' —and that the latter homee was established!
wholly in consequence of the ince( ss and reputottoni
of the former. Hem then is a fraud truly unblushing
—nay, serifs abominable.
We ate also reflected on as being an inferior ron•
re rn. because "we select our Tea. Iron, the promisee ,-
11114 cargoes which arrive." How rr,uch more coin
men d a bl e to come out with the plain truth than to
resort to such vile fa/aekoods as appear in the begin
ning of the paragraph now under review. The words
are -The Pekin Tea Company of New York. an asap
rim tort of heavy capitalists in that city." Ric.—( Let
the reader refer.) Is it possible !hat the inhabitants
of Pittsburgh can swallow all this! In this city (New
York) entry counting-house lad. of fourteen yeui 3 OH,
knows better. Let any individual who would satisfy
himself on the subject, refer to the files of the Courier
and Enquirer, Journal of Commerce, or Commercial
Advertiser, which he may find at any large Hotel in
Pittsburgh, and see, if in the lists of imported merchan
dise, he can discover that any entries of Teas have
been made at the New York Custom House for such
a firm as the "Pekin Tea Company." We defy them
to prove that they ever received Teas direct from
China! Who ever believes such a barefaced eraser•
lion are deservedly humbugged. As to the fact of
their linvittg an "agent in Canton," wt deny it. Who
is het But the idea of thour having another in Pekin,
is an absurdity so monstrous, and a falsehood so gla
ring, as not to deserve consideration. Who ever
heard of 'Teas being selected and shipped at Pekin?
Outrageous nonsense!
Wu happen to know that the' fine Teas which their
neents in Pekin and Canton select, put. up and ship
dime( to New York," are selea.:tard in Front street, in
this city, at the store of Beebe & Brothers, and other
wholesale Grocers, shipped thence by their carman to
the store 75 Fulton street, then packed in imitation of ,
the Canton Tea Company's Teas by Frenchmenand
Germnns, in the upper putt of the building, brought
down stairs and thence dispatched to Pittsburgh and
Ala rci :I
other places.
Lastly—Who in the association of New York cap.
italist s, called the "Pekin Tea Co," professing to have
$500,000 eneag , d, in tha trade? The agents and
ss!esm •n, Messrs Douglass, Callender and Roe,
were previously emplcyed at the New York Sun News
paper establishment. Mr Hamilton, the out door a
gent, was formerly subscription cleik for Messrs Ed.
mond Charles & Son's Bunk Note List; and the only,
and exclusice owner and proprietor of the whole estub
lishment is Henry Wyk ojr, publisher of a paper cal
led the "New York Republic," now extinct, and well
known to the would as a controversial antagonist of
James Gorden Bennet, of the New York Herald.
Ve exceedingly regret the necessity which compels
us to come out no promptly;—WC aro, nevertheless,
ready to procure the proper affidavits, certified before
the New York City and State authorities, in confirma

kept gradually getting worse; my body swelled so that

rance Company.
Office, No, 21, MARKET STREET.
TH F., Citizens of Pittsburgh continue to be offered
an opportunity to effect insurance upon their prop.
erty, by a Domestic Institution, located among them
seives,ita-ed upon Domestic Capital, and conducted.
by Directors, in whose prudence, integrity and good
faith; hey can readily ascertain, whether they may
repose that undoubted confidence and security, which
should ever attend an insurance transaction.
To persona whose property has, already, been
damaged, or destroyed, by Fire or Water, the adroit•
rage of personally adjusting gloss with an institution.
AT HONE, will be strikingly evident. To.those who
suffered by the Great Fire, this particular corporation
needs no recommendation. The prompt payment of
the whole amount of its losses—..alt•RLT TITO HUND•
11.:D THOUSAND DOLLARS... 49 to therm a sufficient
guarantee of future security.
It is the part of all prudent men, however fortunate,
to anticipate calamity fur the purpose of avoiding its
effects. To such as have hitherto escaped, as well as
to those who have sustained loss, the facility of pro•
tection and indemnity, offered by this institution, will
be the strongest inducement to avoid the reflections
and regrets which must be -stp , .•rienced by those who
suffi.r without Aope of restitution.
