117 - A firo occurred in Philadelphia last
week, by which the large six story build
ing, corner of Chesnut and Sixth streets,
including Barnum's Museum and the stores
on the first floor, was entirely destroyed.
Nothing was saved of the Museum but the
Automaton Card Player, and one or two
other minor curiosities.
RP - About a week ago a number of
German en,: e ,:ant<, arrived at Latrobe, Pa.,
in the cars of the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, and were placed in a warehouse,
without fire, until open wagons were got
ready to convey them to Turtle Creek.—
On the way, horrible to relate, three wo
men and an old man froze to death, and
others of the party suffered severely.

and a newly introduced chapeau, having
been adopted by the bucks of Brodway,

ostrich plume, three turkey-tail feathers.
Health of Henry Clay.
Washington, Jan. 4.—The health of
Mr. Clay is much better, and it is under
stood .that he will endeavor to address the
Senate to-morrow or on Tuesday on the
resolution of which Mr. Clarke, of R. 1.,
gave notice on Friday, in reference to the
policy of the U. S. Government on the
subject of intervention.
(trJenny Lind having heard of the
death of her mother, in Sweden, will not
give her proposed concerts in New York.
It is probable that those who attended her
last ooricart in Philadelphia, heard her
last notes in America.

f eria? Wbig nominee.
KOSSUTH'.
Kossuth is still in Washington city, the'
lion among lions, receiving the congratula
tions of all who love liberty, and fear his
popularity. He is continually receiving
addresses and making eloquent speeches
in reply. A delegatiou from the State of
Ohio was presented to him to welcome him
to their State, which he accepted. He
will probably travel through the whole
western country explaining hie mission to
the United States and soliciting "material
aid" alias money in the cause of Hungari
an independence. He is not welcomed by
any considerable body of the South. They
dislike to hear the very name of the word
liberty, in the fear, that some of their own
slaves might hear it. A few of them are
above such contemptible bodings and lthilt
upon life as a thing not to be scared at ;
while the great body of them would go in
to spasms, at the thought of the advance
ment of civil liberty, one step beyond its
present limits. They say,—Keep quiet,
we are all right now—if this agitation in
favor of liberty be kept up we will loose
our position of command and be degraded
to the level of the Northern rabble. Men
in such easy and elevated situations are
always opposed to reform, because howev
er happily it may operate on the masses
it cannot benefit them. A man holding an
office woi th $2OOO a year becomes sud
denly converted to conservative govern
ment, when there is danger of his office
becoming elective. It is thus very easy
to see how slaveholders should dislike the
great popular demonstration in favor of
the embodiment of European liberty; that
is, liberty is a very good thing but it
dont suit every body.
There is no disguising the fact, howev
er, that his most ardent, eloquent and de
voted
friends have been and are the Free
Soilers. This is a little party (althoughl
we never could believe in their notions re
specting domestic slavery) which is head
ed by a considerable portion of the most
transcendent genius of this country; and
while they have strong heads, they pos
isess in no inconsiderable degree the Irish
man's faculty of thinking with their hearts,
which is the true basis of eloquence. Mr.
Sumner, the new Senator from Massachu
setts, a Free Soiler, has astonished and
delighted the country with the chasteness
and beauty of his oratory. Hale and Sew
ard are known to possess in an eminent de
gree these qualities. They preach liberty
on every occasion and for the benefit of all
people. They want to see it spread all
over the world--and if a colony of men
keys, baboons or ourang-outangs should
wish to form a constitutional government,
these gentlemen would sympathize with
the movement. Of course their hearts aro
with Hungary and her chieftain and with
the people of every nation, who aro angry
with their rulers, and it is therefore not to
be wondered at, that they are the fast
friends of Kossuth.
But although they go the farthest
for him, even unto a general war with the
monarchs of the earth; nevertheless the
great body of the American people except
those before mentioned, heartily desire
the liberation of Hungary and the ac
konwledgement of the principals of consti
tutional freedom everywhere, but not to
the length of involving ourselves in wars
with foreign countries. All parties are
extending to him a hearty and splendid
welcome, through the medium of public
meetings and banquets where utterance is
freely given to the sentiments of our people,
while the government, officially, says
nothing, though privately he dined with
the President.
THE SAFE OF WILLIAM PENN.—The
editor of the Cincinnati Nonpareil has had
the gratification of beholding a dilapidated
specimen, in the shape of an iron safe, that
eclipses all the antiquities that ever before
came under his supervision. It passed
through that city the other day on its
way to St. Louis, at which place the anti
quity is to receive a prominent location in
the Museum. This identical safe is the
veritable one that WM. PENN brought
(rem England, and it was on the ground
where he treated with the Delaware tribe
of Indians on the Delaware river. The
' safe is singularly and ingeniously construct
ed, and contains several compartments
which, lie says, would puzzle the ingenuity
of any person living in this age to ascer
tain their whereabouts. The name of
Wm. PENN is prominently engraved upon
one of the inward plates, the letters earv
ed in an awkward form.
pg"' A western editor asked the follow
ing question: .1f a fellow has nothing,
when he gets married, and the girl has
nothing, is her things hisen, or his things
hero i" Well, we think so, too.
Two Days Later From Europe.
ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.
New YORK, Jan. 4.—The steamship
Atlantic, Capt. West, from Liverpool,
with dates to the 24th ult., arrived at
o'clock this evening.
THE ELECTION IN FRANCE,
The ballotting closed in France on Sun
day evening, the 21st, amid complete tran
quility, and without undue excitement of
any kind. The result of the balloting in
the twelve arrondissements of Paris was as
follows:—"Yes," (on the proposition) 232,-
217 "No," 80,161.
At 6 o'clock on Monday, the returns
from the Departments received at Paris
gave the following result:—"Yes," 1,776,-
000; "No," 206,000.
Numerous deputations, representing the
trades and manufacturers of Paris, headed
by M. Lamoraix, presented on Saturday an
address to the President of the Republic,
expressive of their deep gratitude for the
measures he has adopted.
At Rouen, the votes were affirmative,
28,090; negative, 6,810. At Lille, affir
mative, 50,272; negative, 9,152. At Au
gers, affirmative, 9,897; negative, 1,625.
At Amiers, the Bishop, clergy, and re
ligious congregations, voted openly in the
affirmative.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times says, that in the arondissements of
Paris, inhabited more particularly by
workmen, the majority for the President
has been polled, while in the quarters in
habited by the old noblesses, Ste. ; neu
trality has been strongly manifested.
The working classes generally manifest
strong hopes in Louis Napoleon, believing
that he is a Socialist in the proper sense
of the word—that he is already contem
plating, and will soon execute decrees,
testifying his solicitude for them; and that
he will apply the doctrines that have their
sympathies, and theories that will give
them material well-being and a cheap ex
istence.
The bourgeoise also believe that the ad
vantages to them from the prolongation
of the powers of Napoleon will be equally
great.
• The Bishop of Strasburg had addressed
a letter to the clergy of his diocese urging
them to vote in the affirmative.
Victor Hugo made his escape into Bel
gium, by means of a false passport.
Paris, Monday, BP. M.—The known
result of the election gives 2,000,900
votes for, and 600,000 against Louis Na
poleon. A definite majority of seven mil
lions is expected to the President.
Gen. Cavaignac arrived in Paris on Fri
day night, having been liberated that af
ternoon.
As the election is now over, the Presi
dent thinks the time has arrived when he
can, with safety to himself, set free other
generals, and the report was current that
they were to be liberated on Tuesday.
Hungarian Manners.
A correspondent, who travelled with
Governor Kossuth from Baltimore to Wash
ington, thus writes of some of the hangers
on of his Excellency:— ,, Governor Kos
suth and lady, and M. Pulkzsky, and all
the immediate members of his suite, have
secured the esteem and friendship of all
who have come in contact with them; but
there are several hangers-on following
him, whose gluttinous propensities have
excited general disgust. They have swill
ed lager beer by the barrel since their ar
rival in the city, apparently having no
thought beyond the circumference of the
barrel, and the sound of the dinner gong.
In the car, yesterday, about a half hour
after leaving the city, one of these glut
tons, although but an hour from the break
fast table, unlocked a little box and took
out four rolls of bread. He then pulled a
large, greasy looking bandana handker
chief from his pocket, and, unrolling it,
displayed within its folds a large fried rock
fish; and he commenced operations on the
fish and the rolls in presence of the GOV
, ernor and the other distinguished gentle
men present, picking at them and licking
his fingers, until the dome of the capitol
was described iu the distance, alternately
wiping his nose, the window glass, and his
fingers with the aforesaid handkerchief.
!SNOW AT NEW ORLEANS.—The good
people of New Orleans were visited on the
Bth ult. with the rare novelty of a fall of
snow, which is thus noted in the Picayune:
We actually had a slight fall of snow yes
terday afternoon about a quarter to 4 o'-
clock. It was like a dream—almost as
quick gone as come; but it served as a to
pic for wonder and chit-chat throughout
the city. Some of the children down
town, black and white, who had never be-I
fore seen the article, were frightened half
out of their wits by its appearance.
The Methodist Book Concern.
The building, says the Journal of Com
merce, is situated in Mulburry street,
between Spring and Broome, and i 4 of
largo extent, its business, however, has
lately demanded an enlargement, and an
other building five stories high, and 25
by 100 feet, is nearly completed, and will
be ready for occupancy in about a month.
It fronts on Mott street, running through
Ito connect with the main building on Mul
berry street. It will coat, when comple
ted and fitted up, about $lB,OOO.
The number of persons at present em
ployed is about 200 or 188 exclusive of
clerks, laborers, &c. There are in the
printing office 70 hands and 8 power press
es. In the bindary, there are 118 per
sons, of whom 47 are men, and 71 girls.
-The motive power is furnished by al5
horse power engine. Steam is also fur
nished for heating the building—no fire
being used except a small one, in a single
apartment.
In the course of a year, about $BO,OOO
worth of paper is consumed 50 tone of pa
per board, and large quantities of other
binder's materials. The expenses in the
bindery last year, for materials and wages,
were $19,172.
The publications of th Books Concern
are mostly stereotyped. They are not far
from 1,500 in number, including, probably,
900 Sabbath School Books. Three news
papers are published in the establishment,
whose aggregate circulation is 140,000,
viz :—The Sunday School Advocate,
80,000; Missionary Advocate, 30,000;
Christian Advocate and Journal, 30,000.
The moral influence of such a deluge of
printed matter as goes out from that sin
gle building must be immense.
France.
The well-informed Paris correspondent
of the National Intelligencer makes the
following statement respecting the deport
men of Louis Napoleon on the night in
which his recent coup d'etat was accom
plished :—Paris is under a martial law
once more! M. Bonaparte has effected
the military coup d'etat so long threaten
ed, so much talked of, so often announced
as imminent. The Republic no more ex
ists even in name. A Dictator lords it
over France. Its Sovereign Legislature
has been arbitrarily dissolved. Two hun
dred and fifty of its principal members
have been arbitrarily arrested, and are
now in prison. M. niers, M. Berryer,
Michel, (de Bourges,) M. Baze, with ma
ny of the colleagues, are some in the for
tress of Vincennes, seine in the fortress at
Mont Valerien. Generals Cavaignac, La
moriciere, Changarnier, Leflo and Colonel
Carras, are prisoners in the fortress of
Hain, from which M. Bonaparte escaped a
few years since. Bonaparte is absolute
master of Paris, and will probably ere long
be absolute master of France. The revo
lution has been thus effected : On Mon
day night there was a great reception at
the Palace Elysee. The Presidential sa
loons were crowded with the beautiful and
the brave. It was the moat brilliant and
animated soiree of the season. The Presi
dent himself did the honors of the man
sion with princely affability, and seemingly
with en tire devotion to the entertainment
of his guests, whithout a thought of the
audacious, reckless, perilous drama of
which, in three or four hours, he was to
be the prominent actor. It is said indeed,
and I am told on good authority, that
though the coup d'etat had been resolved
on and arranged in all the details of its
execution for two or three weeks past, the
moment of its consumation had remained '
undetermined, and was not in fact fixed
till a couple of hours before the commence
ment of execution. The President was
called out about midnight from a circle of
officers and perfects of departments, who
were playing the courtier in the presence
of him whom they were sure would be one
day their Emperor. He passed into an
adjoining cabinet, where he met a couple
of his intimate counsellors and devoted
partizans. They told him that the deci
sive moment had come ; •at, in fact, he
must now choose whether he would go to
prison as a captive, or to the Tuilleries as
an Emperor; that the allied factions in
Parliament intended on the morrow to in
troduce and carry a measure that would
infalibly result in his impeachment and in
carceration, unless energetically prevented
by the prompt execution of the counter
stroke that had been long since prepared,
and which lie must now let fall.
"Very well, gentlemen, hand me the
decree and the proclamations, I'll sign
them. But the Minister of the Interior is
not present; we have no time now to send
for and consult with him. I appoint, at
the instant, M. de Morney Minister of the
Interior—let him countersign the decree.
And now let it be immediately executed,
and let the prclamations be issued."
The President then returned to the
crowded saloons, and a couple of friends of
mine, who were at the Elysee that eve
ning reported that he continued to per
form his role of host with a wonderful
sang froid and cheerfulness of manner
that prevented the first suspicion on the
part of his guests that he had just played
the decisive game of his fortune—his head
against a throne ! Before day the next
morning, Generals Changarnier, Lamori
ciere and Cavaignac were seized at their
respective residences by a detatchment of
troops dispatched for the purpose. Be
fore day, and with the utmost silence,
without causing the slightest alarm in the
city, large bodies of troops were directed
on the Place du Palais Bourbon, the
Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elysees,
the Hotel de Villa, and the Place du
Carousal. Daylight found all these strat
egic points of the city in the quiet posses
sion of M. Boneparte's soldiery. The
questors of the Assembly were arrested.
All the entrances into the Palace in which
the sittings were held were guarded by
troops, with strict orders to prevent mem
bers of the Assembly from passing in.—
The first intimation that the Parisians had
of the audacious revolutionary movement
which was in process of execution came
from the.placards which, by order of the
usurping dictator, were pasted upon the
walls all over the city.
VACANT SEATS IN CHURCHES.—An
English paper gives the following account
of the remarks of Sir W. Page Wood, the
Solicitor General; on the above subject.
It may be interesting to some of our read
ers. He said:—With regard to keeping
the seats empty after service had begun,
no person had a right to do so, whether
they paid for them or not. He knew a
case in which a person holding a pew in
church objected to having any person ad
mitted into his pew, and used to put a pad
lock upon the door, and come himself after
service had begun. The clergyman, how
ever, had the padlock taken off, and put
persons into tht. pew when it was empty at
the commencement of the service, and he
was upheld by the courts in that course.
THE UNITED STATES MINISTER IN
FIIANCE.-A statement has appeared in
the Paris semi-official papers to the effect
that "all the diplomatic corps appeared at
the President's levee on Monday night,
and congratulated him on his success."—
This, says the Paris correspondent of the
New York Commercial, is incorrect so
far as the representative of the United
States is concerned, as he was not at the
levee, nor has he yet formally recognized
the present government.
A Cot:P D'ETAT.—This term having
come into general use, as the only one
which can be applied to the late movement
of Louis Napoleon in France, many per
sons inquire what is its precise meaning,
in reply to which we answer, that literally
it means a stroke of State, bnt that, ac
cording to an able French lexicographer,
it is a measure which, though useful to
the State, is contrary to the rules of hu
manity and justice—in brief, a measure of
violence or an arbitrary measure. It is
pronounced koo-da-tah.
A YOUNG MEMBER OF CONGRESS.—
Hon. Galusha A. Grow, member of the
House of Representatives from Pennsylva
nia, is the youngest member of that body,
being only twenty-six years of age. It is
said he came to Amherst College eleven
years ago from the back woods of Pennsyl
vania, to commence his education. Previ
ous to which event he had been engaged in
rafting down the Susquehanna, and in
deer hunting in the Alleghenies, He
soon took a high rank in his class, became
a good speaker, subsequently studied law,
and last year was elected to Congress
without serious opposition.
C'A few evenings ago, a little boy
sat looking in silence at the stars, as they
come forth with the shade of night. At
length he spoke to his father, who sat near
him, and asked, “Pa, are not the stars the l
Angels' eyes?" This question from a
child of four years old, embodies a sub
limity of poetic thought, which few gray
heads would conceive.
In ''The Supreme Court of Indiana, now
in session at Indianapolis, has decided that,
under the new constituion the only re
quisite necessary for a practitioner in that
Court, besides being a voter, is the (mai&
oats of any court of record that the appli
cant is a man of good moral character.
