The Journal of yesterday' asks some ques tions-in regard to_Mr. Burke's views on the Kansas and Tariff matters, which can be easi- 13r answered Mr. Burke has, during this canvass, repeat edly declared, in his puldie speeches and in conversations, that if elected to Congress, lie swill vote for the admission of Kansas as a State, whenever her people ask admission, and present a constitution republican in form. He will not stop to enquire as to the number of her inhabitants. She has already been of ferei admission as a Slave State, with about forty thousand inhabitants ; she has an equal right to Ile admitted as a Free State with the same population, and he will vote for it. This is his well known opinion and his often re peated public pledge. He has also repeatedly declared himself in favor of more protection to Pennsylvania interests by a discriminating tariff. lie has said that, in the present state of the revenue, higher duties are needed : and that, in adjust ing them, he would, if elected, labor to secure the utmost possible advantages to the great industrial interests of our State. These are his well known:views ; have al ways been such : and he will carry them not to the utmost of his ability, as no one who knows him will doubt. The J ,, urnal is an , swered. Notwithstanding the recent untruths in the Gazette, Mr. Burke has publicly proclaimed these views at the public meetings lie has at- We are told he is going to be elected. We think Bo D gIROCRAT S TO TR R. WORK A few days mere, Democrats and the ti,tts tle will be fought. If you resolve it, the vie feu will be yours. We say this nn the best evidences we hove of th e pro!lieets before The State last wiutf.i. was Democratic in the Legislative department, and the people have approved the acts of their Dery crib, I,e later& lie have an exMlent Democratic Governor, whose official acts are unive r .,,,n y commended. In national politics everything. is favorable to the Democracy. Certainly there never was a "eime when it was more ins cumbent upon every member of the party support the party organization than now.— Burke and Birmingham can both be elected to Congress, if the Democracy does its duty. We assure our friends that this result is fully in their power. Let the business of prepar, ation be carried into every township and school district. Our Committees of Vigilance have but a few days to work, but in those few days everything necessary to elect our ticket can yet be done. Let two or three good Dem ocrats work a little every day in each town ship, and they will make assurance of a Dem ocratic :victory doubly sure. L=t every man be at the post of duty from now until the election, and our labors will be crowned with triumph. Bon. Samuel W.

When we consider that there are only fifty tenantablu cells in the jail, urige. inally intended for one prisoner each, and that several of these are necessarily devoted to single persons charged with murder, it is astonishing how such a crowd manage to breathe in such a small compass of space, as those firm stone walls. The necessity of a work house, or house of correction, is every lay more and more apparent. The term el the Criminal Court, ,which commenced on Monday, will relieve the-jail somewhat, hut a the winter approaches, va-• grancy and crime always increase, and the j,Lil will Soon be as full as over again.

J. B Roberta—Pittsburgh Theatre This gentleman, who, like many a prophet, has acquired much distinction in other lands than his own, appears at the Pittsburgh The atre this evening, in the 'character of Sir Giles Overreach,. The Irish American of' New York says: Possessing few personal advantages, Mr. Roberts seems to have inscribed on his banner the motto, Labor ommia vincit,and aspired by it, has become, in our opinion, a very great actor. Feeling in every fibre the character which he personates, or, what is precisely the same thing, seeming to do so. Mr. Roberts holds up to the mirror, as to completely blindfold and lead captive the senses of his audience ; while the precision and purity of his elocus tion—his correct and graceful delivery of the text, even when most vehement, reminds a classical audience much more of the groves of Athens, even, than the boards immortaliz ed by those masters of his art, the tiarricks the Keane, theßooths,and the Kembles, whom, iu many respects he so much resembles, and so forcibly recalls. Mr. Roberts success in the Irish metropolis was great ; a circumstance that was at once earned by his talents, and returned by a hearty admiration of the country through - which he travelled, and the people he met. His benefit takes place on Friday evening, and if there is anything in the cable of which we have heard so much, ,we trust it will transit for this occasion, sane ,of the sympathies that cheered him while tarrying on the Island of Saints. There seems to be an idea abroad that the " legitimate " .drama and the chaste and classic acting which it demands is out of date—that in the popular taste Dumas holds the place once held by Shakespeare. If this is so, it only renders more meritorious the man who at the risk of personal popularity, would re vivo a style of entertainment at once delight iii and instructive. And for such a task we kn. of no one on the American stage better titted than the gentleman whose name heads this notice." —Governor Banks, visited the Northampton, q.‘s ) lueanc asylum on the 2.7 th nit., and while viewing the inmates, Mrs. Phelps, tho woman ho sonic, years since was charged with poison ing her husband and afterward became deranged, 4eized, the Governor by the arm and declared that " she would instantly drag him to execu tion-- it was useless to resist—she was commis.- cloned to hang him and must do it," and suiting the action to the word ehe seized him by the collar, and probably, but for his earnest resis tance and timely aid of Dr. Prince, the OOMMODr wealth would to-day have been without her chief executive magistrate. —Murphy is expected to return to America after finishing his visit to Germany, and beating Stanton, the ohms champion of England.

We have no doubt that he does, but the most langerous notions that Mr. Smith entertain, are the identical Abos litkn doctrines of which the Tribune has been the most persevering propagandist. ilia great crime in the eyes of the Tribune is not that he is a consistent Abolitionist, but that he refuses to trim and coalesce and face about at the com mand of the Republican leaders.

A terrible disaster ,occurred in the city on the .2'4Lh ult.

The Washington Union of this morning contains the following:— We understand that the contract of Mr. Law% rence Myers, of Philadelphia, for oast iron pipes fur the Washington aqueduct was yesterday for feited, on the recommendation of the engineer in charge of the work, for the reason that the contractor had not complied with its provisions , by delivering the thirty inch pipes within the time specified, viz: the let of October. The con tract was given to Mr. Myers, though not the lowest t idder, because he offered to deliver these pipes within a specified time. It is clearly prop er, therefore, that having failed in the condition, the contract should be forfeited. We may also state that as pipes are required for the service of the aqueduct as soon as possible, we presume they will be purchased from our own makers, who may be able to deliver them soonest, end thus this matter which has been a sore trouble to some of our frionde in Pennsylvania, will be settled in a manner satisfactory to all parties, except the defaulting contractor. Judge Bowlin to-day had a long interview with Secretary Cass on the subject of his mission to Paraguay. He will to-morrow receive his in• stractione, the prominent features of which are that President Lopez be required to make an apology for the insult to our flag; to make repa ration to those oitizens of the United States who were driven out of that country and to acknowle edge his obligation to satisfy all other demands for redress, the amount of indemnity to be as . certained probably through a Board of Commis sioners ; that a commercial treaty be negotiated and some guaranty obtained for the opening of La Platte and its tributaries by the removal of the restrictions of trade in these waters. Only one vessel, the Fulton, carrying the Commis sioner, will, at first, proceed to Assumption ; should ho succeed in his objects, he will forth, with return to Washington, bringing with him the convention, but in the event of an entire lailurs, he will di re , t Cumnieilore Shuhrick to send up the fleet, and with it to carry out the distinctly defined policy of the Administration. The fleet will, after its holiness in Paraguay, show itself in several of the South American Statta, particularly in tti.sa which our govern , merit has long had unsettled accounts • HALIFAX, 02,t-ber ri. --'Pho expected steam ship Canada, with Liverpool dates to Saturday, the 25th ult , has not yLt been signaled below.

Puri iker Par leular■ of the Horning the Crystal Pali/CO. untober i; —Nothing was saved from the Crystal Palace excepting one hose ear r: Age, one fire lad ivr 'ruck, and some half dozon trititog articles ou exhibition In less than fif teen minutes after the tire was discovered, the dime fell. The lOSS is variously estimated at one million to a million and a half. Included in the articles embraced in the exhibition of the American in!ititu'o, were a large number of pianos, statuary, melodeons, agricultural imple ments and other goods on exhibition. The build ing was insured for only $6,000. Nothing is left of the Palace but the iron tow ers at the angles and a small portion of the iron sides. Everything combustible about the build ing and the contents were reduced to a hes. The iron parts of the machinery and the frame work 0: the building, are all one undistinguished mass of ruins. The glass is fused into large masses. The report th,t one man was killed is untrue. There way no logs of life whatever, and no se vere injuries to any ono. The police and the managers of the institution are busy investigat ing the origin of the disaster. Among the property destroyed in the Palace wore several very tine pieces of statuary, inclu ding Kiss' equestrian statue of the Amazon, Ma ruchett's fine collosal statue of Washington, casts from Thorwalsdan's Group of the Apostles, a bas relief of the Descent from the Cross, a mantle statue of Columbus, and several other valuable works of art. The pictures in the gallery were valued at $10,000; sewing machines, $8,000; forty pianos, $20,000 ; seven steam and three calorie engines, $13,000; three steam osleopes, 45,000 ; the whole number of entries of articles deposited was 3,900.
