Tlie several Caucuses, to nominate candid ates for officers of the two Houses of the Le gislature, to be elected, met on the Gth. The Democratic Caucus for officers of the House nominated John S. lthcy, of Armstrong1, for Speaker by acclamation. The Natives nom inated Frckerick Reel for Speaker, and a full ticket for the subordinate officers. The Whigs nominated John Acker, of Cheslcr, for Speaker; David Fleming, of Harrisburg, for Clerk ; J. Ditlow, of Lancaster for Sergcant-at-Arms, and Thomas Lcsper, of Lebanon, for Door Keeper. There was no Democratic caucus for offi cers of the Senate. There were 16 Whig Senators present at' the-Whig caucus. Mr. Matthias declined a re-nomination for Speak er of the Senate, arid'-the caucus then unan imously nominated John II. Walker, of Erie. There is. a tie between the two parties .in the Senate, -and Mr. Hamilton, the Native American member, holds the balance of pow er. In the House, the Democrats have 1G majority. Gov. Johnston's last annual mes sage was no doubt laid before both Houses yesterday, and will be laid before our readers next week. Gov.

Mr. Dixon, is a gentleman of fine talents, and was the Whig candidate for Governor at the last election, and defeated. The cause of his defeat for Governor, was his views in regard to slavery.

A mostserious fire broke out last Satur day a week at the northeast corner of Chestnut and Sixth street, Philadelphia, and occasioned serious loss to a number ef business men. It commenced in Hart's buildings and severely injured the book stores of Lindsay and Blackston nnd T. & R L. Johnston. The Eagle Hotel, the Democratic Head Quarters and the store of J. W. Blooro was totally destroyed. The Chestnut Street Theatre was sever al times on" fire, and the State House in great danger. Several lives were lost, and among these 3Ir. Wm. W.

The loss of property was immense, amounting, probably, to f 200,000. jjsg- A petition is in circulation in New Jerse', designed to be presented to. the Legislature at its coming session, praying for a law similar to that of Blaine, abol ishing the sale of all spiritous liquors escept onl' for medicinal purposes.

With these gentry it is a compliment for a gen-, tlemen to kiss tbe wife of bis friend when be makes an afternoon call, and she, by way of returning the compliment, locks him up in the garret for three days. An other interesting custom is to honor an absent friend's bouse by an assemblage of a dozcn,"male and female acquain tances at an evening champagne party, and after drinking until chairs and divaus will no longer hold them, to take a prom iscuous snooze till morning on the parlor carpet.

Views on the President's Message. The London papers have voluminous com ments on President Fillmore's annual mes sage to Congress, mainly in opposition and ridicule of his views in favor of a Protective Tariff. His arguments on this subject are unfavorably contrasted with those of Hon. Robert J. Walker, who is still continuing to AUSTRIA. A lot of prisoners from Hungary, men and women, were brought to Vienna on the 10th ultimo. They included Kossuth's sisters and some Hungarian nobles. Austria cherishes the idea of striking a severe blow against the commerce of England, apparently hoping to unite the chief continental countries iu a pro hibited system. In Austria and Hungary discontent is hour ly increasing. At Vienna great anxiety is felt for news from the United plates, respecting the recep tion of Kossuth.

Near the centre of the mass was discovered, firmly imbedded in the quartz and slightly corroded, a cut iron nail of the size of a six-penny nail. Jt was entirely straight, and had a perfect head.
