LIOIITN mo.—The Hagerstown News statesthaf
during a shower on Thursday evening last, in that
place, the house of Mr. Frederick Young was
struck by lightning, by w:tich the inmates were
struck to the floor, and a cradle containing an in-
fant , together with a stove, were overturned. For•
tutiately no personal injury was sustained beyond
the severe shock, from which the family recovered
in a few minutes. The house sustained considera
ble damage, as the floor, rafters and other timbers
were much torn.

PA UPERs.-There were two hundred and seven
.teen foreigners admitted into the Bellevue Alms
item, New York, for the week ending the sth inst.,
of which number one hundred and fifty-seven were
Irish. Poor American citizens are taxed to sup

FLonzDA.—The Governor of this Territory has
issued a proclamation directing an election to bo
hold in the several counties on the 26th of May, for
Governor, Representatives in Congress, and mem

Constitution. The first session of the State Legis
lature is directed to be held at Tallahassa, on the
27nd of June.
Monster Gun for America.
A monster gun has just been manufactured by'
Messrs. Forsyth and Preston, of Liverpool, which
is intended to replace the one which tut rst on board
one df the American l‘'ar Steamers, a. short time
ago, killing the Secretary of State, and wounding
several other official personages. It is made of
Mailable iron, is 12 feet long anti weighs 11 tons
3 cwt. 2 qrs. 11 lbs.
The above is from Wilmer's Liverpool (Eng
land) News Letter,' of March 20th. Capt. Stock
ton, not content with the destruction ho has already
dealt out by his 'experiments•,' must needs repeat
his fully. But the worst aspect of the affair is, that
the Government must send to England for the gun.
This is the kind of Tiotection' it extends to do
mestic manufacture..
sort in Prison.
A coiteaponden of the Rochester Democrat writ
ing from Providence, R. 1., says, of course all
etrettgera passing here, are asked if they have seen
Dorn I can answer in the affirmative. I visited
the prison to day, and there took a peep at the
Martyr, as his-friends desinate him. He was sit
ing in the work sheptin an armed chair, giving the
finishing stroke to the painting of fans, a branch of
business extensively carried on in this prison, and
lucretive one to the State. Derr occupied the
only arm choir in the shop. He is quite an adept
with the brush, and is in an employment well suit
ed to his taste--he aliwaya having had• a relish for
she pencil.
There is no uniform dress of the prison and no
shaving of heads, as at Auburn. Dorr had.= his
Chepachet coat, and a fine broadcloth cloak hung
on the back of the chair, and gave it rather a mar
tial appearance. He looks fine and hearty with a
good natured countenance. Among other cells
where the prisoners retire for the night, I passed
thataf Dorn In all but his, iron cot bedsteds
are used. He has one of cherry, rocking chair, table
&c. There is a library in the prison, which is used
try all the prisoners, and a good one it is too. Lights
are famished to the occupants in their cells, after
the workshop is closed•, until 10 - o'clock, and each
prisoner amuses himself by reading or writing.—
This is the Algarine• treatment of prisoners, of
which we hear such a revolting account out West.
This is probably the most humane prison in the
world.
TREE AMERICAN PRE, , S.—We copy the
following from the last number of Chain•
tiers' Eilingburgh Journal :
" 1a no other coant•y in the world, per
haps, is the newspaper press so powerful
an enirre as in the United States. No•
where else is it so omnipotent in its ac.
thin, so omnipresent in its influence. It
:Teaks to every one, making itself felt fir
.'every 4mblic department, and at the same
titre e%erting tremendous influence over
private 4ife. 11 all its energies emanated
from proper principles were the zeal
which directs its elEirts a zeal for man's
intellectual and moral good, the press in
Arnmica, from its increased power, might
in a very short time undo much of the
mischief which its vicious direction has
• initailed on the country."
Maxi.Enrsm IN N. Y.--It is said that
Milleristo has experienced a revival in
New York city, and now appears in the
form of religious assemblages on Sundays.
They wash each other's feet, exc!tange
holy t isses, &c. These meetings are
saki to be of such a nature as • to render
the interference of the police proper.
Ilsteacat or PROMISE.—At the 'Prince
George's County Court last week, Mrs.
Manning, a widow lady, sued Mr. John
Parker fur a breach of promise, laying
her damages at $lO,OOO. The jury
brought in a verdict of aot guilty,"
and the lady motioned fur a new trial.—
Six eminent counsel are engaged in the
case.
Very Important from Durope---Ar
rival of the Caledonia—Seven days
Later—lmportant Debate in Par
liament on Orefon.
The Oregon Question has excited att en
tionin P a rliament, and that in the House of
L or d s , th e E a rl of Aberdeen, and in the
Muse at COllllllOll4, Sir Robert Peel,
have given their views at length. Both
express great anxiety or the amicable all,
justment of the points in dispute ; but at
the same time avow a determination to
• support the British claims. The language
of the Earl at Aberdeen is, that Great
Britain possesses rights, which, in his o
pinion, are clear and unquestionable; and
by the blessings or God and the support
of Pal lia meat, those rights the Mini , ters
are fully prepared to inaintain." Sir Rob
ert Peel atso said
..I.t is my imperative duty, on the part
of the British thivernment, to state in
language the most temptrate, but at the
same time the most decided, that we con
sider we have rights respecting this terri
tory of Oregon which are clear and irre
sislable. We trust still to arrive at an
amicable adjustment—we desire to affect
am amicable adjustment of our claims;
but, having othausted every eltort to effect
that settlement, if our rights shall be in•
varied, we are r..solved—and we are pre
pared—to maintain them." (Load and
countinued cheers from both sides of the
House.) .
. .
These declarations were elicited more
particularly by President Polk's Inaugu
ral Address, and especially that passage
of it, in o hich the claps of this country
to the Oregon Territory are put forth in
such unequivocal terms. It would there
fore seem that the two Governments are
now at issue upon the Chegon Question,
and that each insists upon its claims with
firmness and determination. The matter
is still in the bands of the negociators at
Washingtoo, Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Pak
eohnm but we inter from seine of the re
marks of Sir Robert l'eel, that according
to his last advices, the prospect was less
favorable to an amicable adjustment, than
when Mr. Tyler, just before the close of
Congress, held out such a hope. Neverthe
less, we trust and believe that such a tears
tut disaster as war between the two coun
tries, is yet very remote.
The news in other features is not
very important.
The Caledonia wag detained one day
for the purpose of giving de debate in
Parliament on the Oregon question.
The queen was making prepartions for
a visit to Liverpool.
The annexation of Texas ha. ceased to
excite interest. People in England .leg; rd
the matter as settled there. Mr. O'Con•
nell has declared in the Repeal Assuci•
ation, his dislike to the measure, ground
ed on his well • known anti-slavery pre
judices.
No Nrw ilwk packets had arrived at
Liverpool between the sailing of the Great
Western and the Caledonia.
The Duty of the Whigs,
We regret, in COllllOOll with the editors
of Whig papers In Philadelphia and
other places, to.see that some of our Whig
contemporaries are already beginning to
agitate the question of a Presidential can
didate for 1848, and to advocate the elec
tion of their respective favorites. This
is at least premature. The policy of the
Locofocos under Mr. Por.K is not yet de
veloped ; and the Whigs, though faithful
to their integrity and firm in their ranks,
still need to ha hand their resources, and
to go on vindicating their principles and
d ' , playing their strength and perseverance
without distraction as to men, In the man
ner they have done during the present
Spring. Let MoLliatv, Scow, CLAYTON
and W . EBSTER remain as they are, hon
ored and in honorable stations—let the
disposition to cone out first for a man
with a view to boasting and preferences
alter victory be discouraged ; and when
the titre for selection shall arrive, if the
shtine on which the votive political offer
ings of Whigs have been laid, and to
which their hearts still turn with fond de
votion, he unhappily destroyed, or the
great name which it embalms cannot
again be inscribed on the IVhig banners
as the leader of the host, then can the
'nighty and united array require the ser
vices of another tried and worthy chief
tain an d follow him to the civic contest
and the patriotic triumph. —York Repub

FORGERY IN BOSTON.-Flight of the
Forger and iirre6t on hoard ship.—On
Si turday, officer Cleo. Coolidge, of Bus•
ton, arrived in New York city limn Bos
ton in search of a young man named
Benjamin Fisk, jr., who is charged with
having forged the endorsement of Fisk
Bridge, merchants of Boston. on a draft
upon the house of Barim , t' Brothers,
England, for the sum of £5OO sterling,
payable to John Ilorstman, or order, da
ted 24th December. The check was re•
turned by the Great Western steamer,
protested, and it was at once discovered
that a forgery was committed. Fisk im
mediately fled from Boston to New York.
The assistance of officer A. M. C. Smith
was procured by Coolidge, and having
received intelligence that Fisk had taken
passage in, the Sully for Europe, they
chartered a pilot bust on Monday mor
ning, and on overEauling the Sully board-.
ed her, and found Fisk and his family on
hoard, anti brought him, bag and baugage
to that city. He is now in the Tombs,
awaiting a requisition from Gov, Briggs.
The Astronomical Observatory at Cin

WILL THEREBE WAR
In looking over the speeches of Lord
John Russel, of Lord Aberdeen, and of
others, in the British Parliament, it is im•
possible to escap:: the conclusion that the
British government, and the British na
tion, believe that the right of Oregon
it with them ; and taking that with the
tune of Mr. Polk on the subject, it is not
strange there should be a tone adopted
that sounds like war. We hope, of course
that good councils will prevail, and 'tar
nation be spared the scourge. ‘Vltether
this can now be done, we do not know.—
e have rarely seen more indignation ex.
pressed in Parliament at any real cause,
than was manifested MI the receipt of
Mr. Polk's message ; and the London
Times, that gives, rather than speaks,
the tone or politics, makes a statement to
which we refer our readers. That paper
expresses an opinion strongly in favor of
the claim of Great Britian.
We cannot conceal our opinion that
taking the blustering of Mr. Polk, and
the crowing'' back again of the British
Ministry, the aspect of the aflair is ?oar
like. But will Mr. Polk take upon hint
self to plunge this nation into a war will,
Great Britian for such a cause as Oregon
presents ? or will great Britian take the
risk ? One year must ;lapse after notice
is given from either party to the other, of
its intention to relinquish its claims on
the provisions of •the treaty ; and Mr.
Polk cannot give that notice to England,
until Congress shall have acted upon the
matter, and England is equally bound to
give the same notice. Before that notice
is given, or, before the year shall have ex
pired after giving the notice, we may hope
some measures will be adopted to •main
tain peace, as wet e in the case of the
boundary question of Maine.
Pt must lie remembered that the ques
tion settled by Mr. Webster and Lord
Ashburton, was one that concerned an in•
dependent State, one of the old thirteen,
Maine, in '76, having been a district of
Msssuchusetts. There was, therefore,
much national feeling, natural-pride, and
territorial attachment involved in the mat
ter. Yet the dispute was settled, arnica
' bly and honorably.— The present question
is one of territory, thousands of miles
front the United States; of land in which
we have no agreeable associations,in which
we have no interest as a nation, and with
which there can he little connected to cre
ate pride of attachment. It was not sup
posed that it could ever become one of the
States of this Union. Mr. Jefferson, and
hundreds of others since his time, believ•
ed that the most that could be done for,
or with, Oregon territory, was to assist in
settling it with republicans, supplying it
with republican laws, and then aiding it
in becoming an independent republic.—
The idea of annexing that as a part of a
government, whose centre should be
'Washington, would be an idea which
could acquire no additional preposterous
ness from an attempt to annex Ireland on
the other side, iVith this hasty view, we
give a reason why we may hope for peace;
we give a reason why the present peace
s hould not be disturbed; and, we may add, if
the people are wise, they will not allow
Mr. Polk to play the game of war, to
create, a necessity for perpetuating his ad
ministration, or insurin4 the election of
one of his party.—U. S. Gazette.
The Pittsburg American says:—lt can.
riot but he gratifying to our citizens gen.
orally, to find the interest which is taken
in their recent great calamity. With
that view and more i particularly from
a feeling of justice to the noble kindness
and liberality of the inhabitants of other
towns, and cities, that ire group together
the manifestations of these as they come
to our knowledge.

Iron Safes. •
The late fire has completely settled all
doubts about the value of Iron Safes"
and " Salamanders." They are worthless
—worse indeed than worthless as pro
tectors against fire. Q of more than
100 exposed to the fire, his city, not
one even saved eilver ing, much
less a single book or pa ral were
conveyed into the street, e every
thing in them Was burnt up and destroyed,
even to the falsely called safe itself. We
mention . this fact to put people elsewhere
on their guard. Our merchants had them
from all quarters and at all pt ices, anti
not one exposed to lhefire ; saved a single
book, or, that is itslf again fit for use, cx
ceptin; two or three which were firmly
built in the wall, or protected oy a heavy
stone or brick vault. So much for Sal
amanders." The Asbestos" of all
them will be found neither more nor less
than oak plank or common dirt. Let no
man, therefore, trust such•in case of fire.
Tire only _protection in the recent fire was
found in strongly built attune
Pittsburg American.
LOSSI lIV THE G 14tAT FIRE.-A commit
tee appointed by the Councils, alter a full
examination of the burnt district, having
minut;dy visited every part of it, have ar
rivi;il at the following result:
982 buildings burnt, $2,566,500
Value personal property burnt, 913,450
63,479,950
This does not include money or per•
sonal property of young men or persons
.not keeping house.
In calculating the value of real estate,
the committe have estimated the cash
value of the improvements as they Were
before the fire, and not what it will re
quire to repair or rebuild theta, which
must exceed the above estimate at- least
25 per cent."
We find th'e above in same of our
eastern exchanges. Where it originated
we know not. The estimated' value of
the buildings is probably withiti bounds of
reason, but the estimate of personal prop
erty here given, is one that no's:me man in
this community would acknuwledge.—
We have heard no estimate yet made,
that did not place the wake of personal
property destroyed, at doubre' that of the
buildings. The amount in Nails alone
was 3100,000. Iron no doubt is of an
equal amount. Scarcely a merchant in
IVoods, Market, Water or Front streets,
whose loss of goods was less than $lO,-
000 and varying from that sum to •Sur,-
000. Very few dwelling houses, but
contained furniture and clothing nearly,
it not quite equal to their value.
We have had no reason as yet to doubt
the correctness of our own first statement .
in which we gave 1000 as the number of
houses destroyed. More recent accounts
41* it . to 1100. Besides the noblest
business houses, it included the best por
tion of private residences very densely
built. One estimate of the whole loss
was $9,000,000, two thirds of which was
personal property.—lb.
Death's Doings
Amon , * the "shining marks" which
Death has recently pierced with his dead
ly arrows, we notice the Rev. James
MILNOIt, 1). 1)., Rector of St. George's
Protestant Episcopal Church in New
York. Ile was a native 01 Pennsylvania,
and represented Philadelphia, where he
was then a lawyer in extensive practice,
in Congress from 1512 to 1814. While
at 11 ashington he became impressed with
religious sentiments—subsequently stud
ied Theology unner the direction of the
late Bishop WHITE, and was soon after
wards called to the Hectors:iip of the
Church to %illicit he was ministering when
he flied. Ile had voted for Charter Offi
cers on the. day of his decease—retired
to bed in apparently his usual health, mid
was almost immediately seized with the
malady which after a brief struggle ter
minated his existence. it was a disease
of the heart, and proved fatal when 1)r.
11. had reached his 71st year. Ile was
a man of liberal and catholic Christian
principles—active and foremost in all be
nevolent enterprises, and is a loss not
merely to the Church and his family, but
to the cause of philanthropy.
Another distinguished victim lately
fallen is Dr. TnoSias Stmt.:Lt. M. D. of
Washington City. lie had attained a

O'CoNxzu.'s VIEWS of AMEBIC a Ar•
rssits.—At a late meeting of the Dublin
Repeal Association, Mr. O'Connell, in
handing in £2O from Staten Island ; New'
York, referred to the message of Mr.
President Polk, and said that he regard.
ed with horror the annexation of Texas,
another slave State, to the American
Union. He charged Mr. Polk with ar
rant cowardice in glosing over the de
testable trallie of slavery, by referring to
it under the delicate expression of a
" domestic institution.°
" Domestic institution r , he exclaimed,
" domestic institution Mc. roiit, it is
slavery (Good cheers.) . Mr. Polk, it
is huckstering in human flesh. (Loud
cheers.) It is a loathsome, au execrable

by the Wood of his Son, and bearing
upon his brow the impress of the Eternal
seal : it is buying and selling him, I nay,
as though he were the beast of the field
that grazes, and not a deathless bring
marked out for an immortal redemption ;
the heir of a heavenly inheritance, and
designed lor a destiny so glorious that the
mind of man is dazzled in contemplating
it. (Applause.) And I amt to be told

(Rear.) Out upon those who would

I love my country, but I would accept

the medium of such a crime. (Rear.) I
want nu American aid if it collies across
the Atlantic stained with negro blood, and
from my soul I despise any government
which, while it boasts of liberty, is guilty
or slavery, the greatest crime that can be
committed by humany against humanity.
And those who are ready to uphold that
system are the people that dare to talk to
me of liberty. Shame on them and eter

and practice slavery. lint what with re

Shall I say she trembles?

than the people of England never .stood

which gives a tremulous appearance to
her public writers,• and prevents her from'
holding out the bold front of defiance to
American transgressors. (Cheers.) The

(Cheers.).
BABES It.: THE Woo :S.—A letter from
Harrisburg - to a iihiladelphia' paper gives
an account of the exposure of a deranged"
'nether and her two children in that vi
cinityl It appears that a Mrs. Lupitl4l',
who has been occasionally deranged, but
was not'considered much nut of the way,
until, one day last week, in the absence
of her husband, she left her infant in the
cradle, and taking with her two other
children, one about Frye years of age, the
other only three, fled to the mount ins,
and nothing could be discovered of them
until Saturday last, when she was found
almost famished, and nearly naked ; but
the children were missing. The neigh
borhood soon turned sot to scour the
mountains in searcnot them, but in vain
until Monday last, when sonic men prov
identially happened to come upon them
in one ut the wildest regions of that wild
country, where no one would have deem
ed of looking for diem'. They had been
out Nur days and four nights—cold
nights, too, barefooted, and half naked
otherwise—their clothes being nearly
torn off them by the underbrush, and
their little legs blackened by the ashes of
the conflagration of the mountain which
had been burnt a few days previous. and
th e i r flush a good deal tacerated. They
had cried thetnielveir sick, and one of
them had taken off its dress for make a
bed of, and there they lay, at the runt of
a tree, rocked in each other's arms, una
ble to speak, having eaten !whim it is
supposed, since they left home: The
pour little sufferers were taken to the
nearest house and comfortably provided
for, and are said to be doing well. They
were found ten miles distant front the
place at width their mother was first dis
covered, and that they th,l not perish is
together providential, and almost tnirac
alous.
