From the Baltimore American Education and Crime.—We find it stated in the Itafrisburg Telegraph. that for the financial year ending Oct. 31. 1838, the expen.es of keeping up She penitentiaries of Pennsylvania. and con• veying convicts, were 043.753. The Telegraph adds that this I. IN , u pon t h e community for the punishment of the guilty has proved inadequate to the re duction of crime. We notice some statistics taken from the criminal records of France, in which those charged and convicted for crimes during•s period of five years from 1828 to 1882, both inclusive, are classed in re ference to their degrees of education. The number of persons convicted within this time for criminal offences in the va rious courts of assizes was 21,706. Of these two thousand two hundred and sixty five were educated persons—that is to say, they were able to read and write. and the number includes all others who possessed greater attainments. Nine teen thousand four hundred and forty one, being all the rest, were persons un educated—that is, they were unable to reed and write, or able to do either im perfectly. These statements, if must be allowed. will not afford grounds for an accurate es timate of the matter, unless it be kn wn what proportion of the French people are uneducated, and how many have re ceived instruction. We can therefore form only a general opinion from the statistics given. - It is hardly necessary, however. to re fer to statistics of crimes to draw proof. of the importance of education among a people. Ono might as well take the de positions of ship builders and architects to establish the fact that a tree of full size & stately proportions is superior to one of a distorted growth, choked by wild vines. and full of knots. Knowledge is to the intellect en aliment necessary to its na ture. The instinct of the mind demand. it. and if be not furnished of the proper kind, the eager appetite will seek it in such elements as are moat convenient. But it is not to be denied that knowledge of itself will not secure a men or a com• munity from the danger of falling into crime, although it iv the strongest bul wark of virtue. Like other gifts, wheth er of mind or fortune, knowledge is an instrument of the will, and may be turn. ed to good or to , evil according as the in ward disposition prompt.. Under the away of a malignant heart, it makes gi gantic villains. It must be left to the moral influence. which are dispensed from the pulpit and the press. to give a proper and legitimate direction to the im proved powers of intellect which educa tion tlevelopes. The duty of the State is to provide for this education, in the full faith' that good will come of it. Lei men be made rational. and the probability is strong that they wilite moral. We may notice here. in reference to the increase of criminal offences, some remarks of Mr. Wood. the intelligent warden of the Eastern State Prison of Pennsylvania. in a correspondence lately published between him and Dr. Tydman. of Charleston, S. 0. The matter is in allusion to the pardoning power, whielt Mr. W. thinks is too freely used in a multitude of instances. and that the ten• dency thus resulting is to the encourage ment of criminal offences. It is a fart well established by the history of penal codes every where, that the certainty of punishment is more effectual than Its se verity towards suppressing crime. Va• ciliation or irresolution in the infliction of the penalty of a violated law takes away from the awfulness of justice. and gives another' prospect of escape to offenders, besides that of eluding detection. These remarks of course are not meaut z to apply to eases wherein guilt is subsequently disproved. or where improperevutence has led to conviction, or wheE.. , flAti it mony comer to alter the - tom exion of the case. We allude to pardons granted out of commiseration, or by reason of intercession of friends and promise of a mendment. CHAMBERPBURG. Nov. 19 .RTTEMPTED ROBBERY. On Thursday night. last, at about 8 o'- clock. the house of Messrs. Peter and Ja cob Plough, in Green township. about four miles from this boroUgh, was forci bly entered by three . persona, evidently ler the purpose of committing robbery. They were met, after having gotten with in the outer door. by the two gentlemen above named, when a short scuffle ensu ed. during which one of the ruffians dis charged a pistol, loaded with two balls and a quantity of shot. The balls pas sed between the Messrs. Ploughs, without damage. but the shot scattering, slightly wounded them both. Finding themselves frustrated in their design. the robbers then made their escape. They were all disguised, with old clothes, slouched caps, and blackened faces. They are described, two of them as being tall and slim, and the third as short and stout built. Two hundred dollars is of fered for their detection. The repeated instances of robbery. and attempts at robbery. which have oc. cuffed in this region of country within the past year. ought to operate as a cau• tion to persons living in the, country. against keeping in their houses. or a• bout their persons. large sums of money. Their isolated condition renders them comparatively defenceless against the at tacks of the ruffians who prowl about in search of plunder. The safer way is to keep money deposited in banks or sa vings institutions, where it is always safe. and from whence it can be drawn when wanted for use. Marty. we know, are afraid to deposite their money, especially specie, in banks, in time■ like the present. but their fear is a foolish one, as they can keep their specie. as well as paper in those institutions, and by doing so. free themselves from the anxiety and dan ger they otherwise incur.—Repository.

From the York Republican THE PRESIDENT AT HOME Mr. Van Buren's native county—Co. lumbia—senda three Whig repre•enta ives to the .New York Legtslattire—hits native district has elected three Whig Se nators. and his native state is now mana ged by a Whig Governor, and Whig Le gislature who will elect as United states Senator the Hon. N. P TALLHADOE— the most obnox man probably to the President in the whole Empire State.— In 1836 Columbia county gave Van Bu• ren a majority of 1000—his native Sen. ate district gave him more than 6000 the State more than 28.000: now Coun• tv. Dtstrict and State, all give Whig ma jorities. This is a must tremendous re• volution in popular sentiment, and it re mains firm. although Mr Van Buren ex hibited during the summer the unprece dented and disgraceful spectacle of a Pre sident of the United States traversing his native State—delivering political speeches in favor of his own administration, and drilling his party in anticipation of the election. Now bitter must be his disap pointment in the result I The Washing ton City Madiscinion says that •never was there a human being more complete ly chop/allen than Mr. Van Buren since the news from the State of New-York.— Those sweet smiles and significant glan ces of -the eye. that were wont to grace his countenance, have given place to con. tracted brows and darkened features. and the name of 'I'ALLMADOE acts upon his nerves somewhat after the manner of fir nam Wood on the senses of the affright. ed Macbeth. Yesterday when the con firmntion of the news from Michigan reached him. it absolutely cowered his better part of man, and left him complete ly prostrate. Thus the gorgeous East room, which was wont to ring with the joyous laugh of its occupants, is now as still and sombre as a vault. The house is emphatically no longer one of joy.— The ...sober second thought" of the peo ple has taught Mr. Van Buren. that how ever much corruption may triumph for a time, honesty, is the best, as well as safest policy." Mr. Van Buren will enter the political campaign, next year with the certainty that his own State will go against him— a circumstance that never occurred to any other candidate for President. Let then the example of New-York stir up the Whigs throughout the Union to form a determined purpose to stand fast to their principles in opposition to national mis rule, and to do their whole duty at the polls in 1840. The Michigan Election.—The Detroit Daily Advertiser of Monday last leaves no room for doubt (if any doubt yet ex isted) of the entire success of the Whigs at the late election in that State. The victory is complete. In the popular branch of the Legislature hardly enough Lueofocos are left to tell the news of their defeat. The majority for the Whig candidate for Governor far exceeds all previous calculation, and will amount to something like fifteen hundred votes. The Sennie is Whet. In the House of Representatives the Whigs are ascertained to have erected thirty•three members, and the Locos tliir teen : six districts yet to be heard from. The Importance of One Vote.—Gen'l EitAsTUS Root —one of the Whig Candi ilateir for Senator in the third district of New-York—has been elected bY a majo rity of one vole (which would have been two. had not his name been mss-spelled on one ticket) in an aggregate of more than 49,000' votes polled. This is a les son to those voters who are always crying either. •there will be enough without me." or '•we will be defeated any how " There is but one way in which a man entitled to exercise the elective franchise can faithfully discharge his duty to his country and his principles—and that is • TO 00 TO THE POLLS AND VOTE. General ROOT is a veteran politician of the old de mocratic school. and has occupied many public stations; but we suspect that lie never in all his political campaigns had such a close run as he had in the late election in the third Senate district. Survivor of Wyoming.—An Indi ana paper gives a history of a white wo man who was captured at the sari; of Wyoming by the Delawares, in 1777. Her name was Slocum. and she was but six years old at the time of the. massacre. After the revolution her friends adopted every measure calculated to lead to the discovery of her fate, in vain, and until last year they never heard any intima tion of her destiny. Previous . to that time. Col. Ewing, of the army. 'saw her in the neighborhood of Fort Wayne, heard something of her history. and pub lished an account of her adventure in se veral of the newspapers in the interior. of Pennsylvania, which was seen by bey brother.a wealthy citizen of Wilkesbarre. who, a few weeks ago. paid a visit to her home in the wilderness, in company with two of his daughters. The old lady had adopted the customs of her Indian towel wee, and spoke several dialects of the language with the fluency of a native.— She is now a widow, and has two daugh ters living with her at a place called the "Deaf Man's Village " The mother and daughters are very much respected, owe a section of land, and are very well off it horsey, cattle. stock. &c..

It commenced about ten o'clock in the morning in an out•house, used for depos iting wood, and resulted. it is conjectured. from sparks issuing from the pipe of a lo comotive which not long before hail start ed for Columbia. and which sparks had lodged in the wood-house.

The good locomotives therein were safe ly removed ; but a number of condemned engines were destroyed. A row of brick houses, immediately in the rear of the car house. was also con sumed—the two eastern most were ten anted dwelling-houses— the western end was used as a blacksmith shop. In addition to these, a building used as a carpenter shop was burned d..wn.

Bread Sltlff:B.—lt is estimated (says the Philadelphia Herald) that the sur plus wheat alone in Michigan. Indiana and Illinois, will he 16 000 000 of bush els, or 2 000.000 quarters. equal to one half the deficiency of the whole grain crop of Great Britain. The Albany Argue states that the flour and wheat which arrived at the Hudson River-liy way of the Erie canal, up to the 7th Nov. in each of the years 1838 to 1839. was as follows, viz : 1838 equal to 981.301 barrels. 1839 " - 834,007 " Falling off 147.294 " or about 15 per cent. The quantity which arrived at the Hudson River from the Ist Oct. to 7th Nov. was equal to 319.403 barrels, or, about 10.000 bbls per day. The "falling off," as we are assured by gentlemen from the country. (remarks the N. Y. Commercial Adver• user) has been occasioned by the want or money to get it to market. The pro duce of the soil, and the quantity actually ready for the market. or which. hut for the derangement of the currency. and the scarcity of money. would have been ready have never been so great. During the month of October, sixty thousand barrels or flour were manufactured per day. in Rochester alone. But notwithstanding the fruitfulness of the season, there is a chance of scarcity in the city of New York during winter, for the want of means to bring it to market. Congress.—The National Legislature will commence its Session at thc• Capitol in the COY of Washington. on Monday next, the 211 of December. A ronsidera ble number of the Members are already in the metropolis. or announced to he en roue; and there is reason to believe that some excitement will prevail at the com mencement of the Session. The nearly equally balanced state of political parties in the [Luise of Representatives—the un usual number of contested seats—the tone of the Inco loco press which recommends a departure front all the former usages at the organization. and t h e intense anxiety of the administration to prevent the elec tion of a Whig Speaker and the appoint. ment of opposition Committees of Inqui ry, combine to induce the expectation of unprecedented scenes.. There will be an effort made to introduce Chas. J.

From the U. S: Gazette, Nov. 2 FIRE ON THE RAILROAD. THE GIRARD BANK AND THE LO. CO FOCOS The proceedings of a meeting of the stts'elt• holders of the Girard Bank of Philadelphia held last week, which have been published, drew our attention at once to the bubject of the connexion of the loco locos with banks. '['hey profess to be opposed to such instito• tions, and we take the present opportunity to test them by the old rule that "actions speak louder than words." It is not our aim to make an invidious selection of the stockholders of the Girard flank, but we use their names, i% hiCh have been placed before the public through their own agency, to illustrate the truth of what we have fur. merle said, that "the loon,focos are stock holders,di rectors and debtors of banks—that none are fonder than they of drawing divi. lends, & of hauling and borrowing money" from those institutions. Among the names of the gentlemen present at the meeting of the stockholders of the Girard Bank and taking an active part in the proceedings,we find those of the lion. BENJAMIN CHAMP NEYs of Lancaster, lately appointed Judge by Gov. Porter, and who has made at least one loco foco speech in our court-house—of HENRY Holm formerly a noted loco loco Congressman from Philadelphia—of JOHN W. ASI U lEAD, n loco loco lawyer of that city—ofJoitN J. APCAttex, well known as a leader of the Harrisburg mob and a yel ling denouncer of banks-of DANIEL M BiIoDHEAD. whose name has such a dubious connexion with the transactions of Came ron's commission to time innebago Indians, and of HENRY Wia.sir, recently of this Borough, whose political connexions are well known to our citizens. We will quote from the proceedings unanimously adopted by those anti bank men,sdme views to show how differently they speak in their banking house and on the political stump. The fol lowing statement of the causes of the sti Ten sion of specie payments varies considerably from the tone of the loco foco presses which have thrown the blame upon that "bank• rupt monster"—the U .S. Bank: "Notwithstanding these heavy responsi• bilities the Girard Bank was not backward in resuming specie payments, when the pe riod designated by public sentiment had ar rived. The indictments which have occur red since then are fresh in the minds of all. The immense incidents of the Southwest and West to this city, and the inability to discharge it, imposed upon our institu tions duties too onerous for their perform ance. The drain of specie from here to New York, consequent upon the position of that city, to pay the foreign commercial debt exhausted their coffers, which could not be replenished from those of their debt ors which were closed against their de mands." We subjoin too an extract on the subject of post notes, which furnished a theme of unmeasured denunciation to the Pennsylva via Reporter echoed by the loco foco papers of this Borough: "The issue of post notes being a matter that has engaged the attention of the public, the Committee deem it a duty to state that the aggregate amount issued by the Girard Bank i* two millions and a half of dollars; and that the amount outstanding at tie time the statement was prepared for the stock holders was $P07,000. Without expressing any opinion as to the policy of such issues, the committee would remark that it has been a source of large profit to the bank." Our allusions to this matter will not, we think, be deemed out of place when they brim• the autsority of such prominent mem bers of the loco loco party into conflict with the tone and expressions of their journals, and furnish such clear proof to the public of the humbuegery and deception which are contained in the loco foco attacks upon the banks for the salce of political effect • They have been constantly denouncing the whigs us "the bunk party," and all the time -their own political leaders, from Governor down to penny-post man, have been large holders of bank stock, and directors and managers of such institutions. Such hypocrisy de serves rebuke. We will merely add, that according to the statement of the atockholdors,the Girard Bank is in a sound and prosperous condition Her capital is unimpaired—she has resour ces more than sufficient to make up the loss of all bad debts, and appears not to have de served any portion of the abuse which has been lavished upon her by the Pennsylvania Reporter and kindred pints. Pennsylvania Republican. A Great Crash.—The Long Island Star says :—"On Saturday evening, about 6 o'- clock, the two three-story houses, nearly completed, erecting on Furman street, a gainst the heights, came to the ground a heap of ruins, by reason of the moist state of the rear wall, and the pillars not being of sufficient strength to bear the weight of the arch. Although several persons were en gaged at work on the building at the time, it is astonishing to relate that not one was in jured—they heard the cracking of the walls, and made their escape. The buildings were owned by 111 r. Hoffman, a merchant of New-York, and his loss is presumed to be over $10,000." Battle of Lake Erie.—W e once hoard an "old salt" who, if we remember rightly, was in the engagement, describe the subsequent scene on board the brave Perry'e vessel.— One poor fellow was sent below to the sur geon, with his right arm dangling like an empty coat sleeve nt hie side. It had been shattered near the shoulder, and amputation was pronounced unavoidable. Ile bore the painful operation without a groan or mur mur, although "cold drops of meat stood on his trembling flesh." An hour or two itfler his arm was amputated, he called the sur geon to his side, and said, "I should like to see my arm, if you have no objection."— "None in the world," replied the surgeon, "if you desire it." The amputated limb was brought, and poor Jack, pressing the cold hand, which had forgot its cunning, in his tell, exclaimed, with tears in his eyes : 'Farewell, niessinaie ! You and I have weathered many a tough gale together, and now we must part.' You have been a good friend to me ; 1 shall never fine sacii anoth er." 23iLi:18dasrCtil~~.:CT:i12:: iA:~ DOINGS IN COURT. Onillonday last the Court opened and business was progre4sing, when, pursuant to arrongement, the prosecuting A tlornev in (piked of His Honor the judge, if the man ner in which the jury had been selected should not he investiiated, as lie was infor med the names had Veen selected by lA. His Honor inquired if the Commissioners had had the hardihood to -Jo so? blr. Pool responded that they had. Then, said His Honor, the array shall be quashed, and the Commissioners pay the cos's. So ended 'the prospects of the people of the county, for having any business do n e at this Court. The aurora had been selected in as fair a way and proper a manner ns ever jurors were in Ilia world; but it did not suit the ridge to have rioters tried, and therefore the array wns set nside, and pew ple who had businesS that they wished set tled, were obliged to go home and content themselves the best way they could under Judicial tyranny. The object ofJames 11. Porter's appointment wns carried out unoth. or step, as ho was sot over the people here, for the sole purpose of screening ill- guilty rioters of the laws of the State,from justice. The reader will remember that Hos ar ray was the array selected fir the remind er of the current year, commencing with the present Court. At the August . term the judge quashed the arrny, no r '(' ordered the Commissioners and Sheriff to empty the wheel, and make a new selection for the re mainder of the year. This duty they at tempted to perform; hut were prevented lie• cause the Sheriff and Locotoco Commis sioner, (Mr. Whitley.) refused to proceed with the selection, unless Messrs. Hummel! and Bishop would agree to select halt of each party, thus violating their oaths and making the jury political, which they very properly refused to do. In consequence therefore, of the illegal and improper de• mand of the Iwo Locofocos, Cochran and Whitley, no jurors were selected, and when the adjourned Court in September came on, the judge found by the Sheriff's return to the Court, that no jury had been selected, and forthwith he issued a rule upon the Commissioners, to show cause why the or. der of the Court to them and the Sheriff to select a ne,v array of jurors had not been fulfilled. To this rule, on Tuesday last, the Corn. missiciners responded by a respectful letter to the Court, setting forth the reason why the jurors had not been selected, eccom• panied by a certified extract from the rec ord of their proceedings, detailing the high handed propositions made by Messrs. Coch• ran and Whitley, as to the mode of select ing jurors by taking one•half from each par ty, and disregarding the law, which declares that they must not inquire into the political opinions of the jurors, but select "sober, in• telligent and judicious' persons." These things were proved in Court, by the testi'. ninny of the Clerk and the record itself' but with a shamelessness the most astound ing, Whitley and Cochran denied the rec• ord, until the cross questionin. , of the coon. sel for the commissioners ,obliged . 'theux to admit that it was true to the letter. THADDEUS ISTEVENS and WILLIAM. B. REED, Esq'rs , defended the Commissioners against THE COURT, and Attorney General JOHNSON. The Attorney General contend ed that the Court had .power summarily to punish the CoMmissionerS. they being, as he said, officers of the Court while acting under its order! To this absurd proposi• lion, Messrs. Stevensand Reed replied with a legal argument drawn from positive stat utes which was irresistible. They contend. ed that they were not officers of the Court ; that it they ever were comprehended in the statute defining the class of functionaries punishable by the court without a jury trial, they did not merit the stroke cf the Court, as it - was not the two Commissioners but Messrs. Cochran and Whitley who threw the obstruction in the way of tho selection; and that they could not, and should not, without an alarming stretch of power in the Court, be deprived of their right of trial by a jury of their peers. The speeches of these able gentlemen were worthy of the occasion and themselves That of Mr. Stevens combined with the most powerful argument, a view of the scorching the statute that made tue honora ble Judge wince and cower before the elo quent portrative that was designed to ex hibit his own deformities, although he was afraid to own the likeness to himself in the pictures of judicial corruption and tyranny drawn by Mr. Stevens. When Mr Ste vens had concluded. Attorney General'Jrihn son rose to reply, hut the contrast between the two was too great for the spectators who had crowded the house to hear Mr. Stevens, and they dispersed before the worthy and houest Attorney General hod a fair oppor tunity to exhibit his tremendous putrera.. . Horrisbure Intel. TENNESSEE AND THE BtNKS. - . The agony is over, and nnmxpression of opinion has at last bean made by the Ten neasee House of Delegates. And such an expression ! How have the mighty fallen ! The Legislature of Tetinessee haS absolute control over the State Bank and all its bran ches, but over the other instiutions of the State they have no other control titan what the laws already passed allow. Their char ters in some measure protect them. All the thunder that has been expended by the loco feces has leen aimed principally at the State Bank. They boasted of their design of making an example. Well, the exam• ple has been made, and here it is. Mr Smith, loco loco, introduced a joint resolu iittn requiring the State Bank and Branch eti ' resume the payment of specie forth with. It was under discussion several da) s when Mr. Barry, loco loco, offered the fel lowing resolution as a substitute ; Resolved by Me General Assembly of Me Siete of Pennsylvania, That the Bank of Tennessee, the rinion Bank, the Planters' Dank, the Farm era' and Merchants' Bank of Memphis, and all other Banks in Tennessee, and 'all their branches, aro hereby required to resume and continuo t h e payment of specie for all of their obligwiona that are due, and OS fast es they 'weenie due and are presented for payment, This resolution was to the point—con cisrly expressing the views of the Loco Fo- _~}~~~~. cos as every where professed ; Lot It would not go down until 11. e followiog amendment was added, pi,}p, red by Mr. Farquharson. Providzd, That the Bank of Tennessee shall not ho required to resume the payment of specto forthwith, unless thu Union and Planters' Banks will agree to resume, and do resume, the payment of specie at the •acne tune. In this shape the resolution was passed by a vote of 62 to 11. A roost weal: and impotent conclusion, after nll the vauntings ofloco4oemsm. The brinks over which ab• yy solute control is held , sho:1 resume,. (how very imperative,) prorided a certain oppe : ration takes place, which may be as remote as—we hind like to have said—the day of iudgment. The Bank of 'repressor, shall posi•ively resume when the other blurts choose to do it, but so long as they continuo suspended, why the Bank of Tennessee may he so too ! Let us hear no more of what the Loco fuco Legislatures a ill do with the Banks. We point to Tennessee. We will ask in the language of the Louisville Jour nal—“Teld we not the truth when wo said that the Loco locos, whenever brought to the test in the State Legislatures, would not dare to carry out in practice the de structive and reckless dnetrines upon which they were seeking, in their newspapers and upon the stump, to build up their populari ty ? Told we not the truth when we said they wore dishonest and hypocritical detnag - nwes,seeking to inflame the passions of the people by prbaching up principles, the practical operations of which, as they themselves knew, waild overspread the whole land with ruin ?"—Ball. Chiron. From tho Pittsburg Gazette The Pittqburgher of this morning con. soles its readers in relstion to the defeat in New-York by telling then) that the mniori tv in the House is lea than it was t o 11:18. Well, it is truo that the Lnco Fncos have gained thirteen members in the City of N. York, the American Liverpool, the I.o•no of the British agents, and the asylum of all the profligates of the land. But in „LQJ country, beyond the polluted purlieus o; place, among the hardy honest yrio of the land, the Whigs heti() dune. better than in 1 R3R. A few hundred votes in that modern Go• morrah has, it is true, made a change 0128 in favor of the Fanny Wright faction in tho New-York Legislature—thirteen candi dates, all on one ticket, being elected over. their thirteen Whig. "eetnpetitors. ThusC, we have. now 'a majority 'of only twelve,„ where we had.thirty-six year. Our large majority was but of tittle use last year, since the Loco Pecos had a majority in the Sen ate which acts also as a council of appoint ment, and overreled.some of Gov. Qeward's nominations. It also prevented the election of a U. States Senator. Now it is true, we have a reddied majo rity in the fiousn, but an aegregate popular majority of about five thousand, we have also a majority in the Senate, and the Go vernor. Thus, having the business in our own hands, and this too in the Empire State the very home of the Magician, the boasted "favorite son:" "The favorite son" was defeated in his own county, in hie Own Senatorial district, and in his own State: thus niVirding the first instance of President being in a minority in his own State. •: - The Vice President Ina, the co•condidate of the '4agician, it also in the minoritrin his own Slate, thus exhibiting the remarka blti specticle . of two'aspirants for the highest offices in , the land, Milking elsewhere for support than in their respective homes. We are - aware that the partizans of the 11kgician perceive the absurdity of . urging upoti the people ,a man so objeotionable as Johnson, and who is rejected by his own State ; and they are determined to get rid of him, by fair means or foul. Re can now, however, in reply to any remarks or argu monis drawn from the fact that he is in a minority at home, well say, that the Presi. dent himself is in no better condition. He can mention, too,n:that Kentucky nev er gave a majority for Jackson except once, in IR2B, and Jhat New York had always been a strong Jackson and Von 'Buren State, but has continually been flitting off in her support of her "favorite son."

Destructive Fire. \V regret to learn that a very destructive fire occurred at Hummelstown, Dauphin county, on Tuesday of lust week. The fire broke out in a stable at the west end of the town, from whence it spread with rapidity under n high gale of wind till two largo barns and fourteen stables were con sumed, destroying several horses, 6 cows, and 18 hogs. Mr. Georg,. Fox, V. 411 iirobably the greatest sufforerdiaving. lost 600 bushels of threshed wheat. n large lot of corn, oats and hay, with his largo barn and stabling which were burnt. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. We understand n person has been apprehended on suspicion of having eet fire to the premises. Since the above was placed in type, we find the following account of another fire at Hummelstown in the Harrisburg heporter of Friday last. Since' penning the paragraph in another part of this pa per, a further destructive fire has occurred in that place.. On yesterday evening, about 6 o'clock, a fire was discovered in one of the out buildings of Mr. George Fox. and before it was conquered de stroyed two or three houses, two stables and six horses, belonging to him. The light of the fire was visible at this place, 9 miles from Hummels town.

MA SS ACH USETTS The following letter we copy from the New- York Courier and Enquirer, and it appears to us ve be inero - authentic and full on tlfb Massaebu_ setts election than any thing yet published. It will be seeh that there is a certain loss in Massa chusetts of one Whig vote for Speaker of Cott gross, and that there is a probabil ! ty of a loss of two more 4, It is .4itiw understood that there has been no election of Governor by the people ; and thie,•l believe, comprises every thing that is definitely ascertained in regard to the late Massachtfsetts election. In the Senate, fifteen NY higs have been elected, and thirteen Loco Focos. There are twelve vacancies in the Senate to be til led by the House of Representatives. In the House, there is an estimated Whig majority of about a dozen votes. Fifty six members are to be chosen on Monday next. On the character of these members will de pend the political complexion of the House, the character of the Senate, and the choice of Governor. So you see that all that we can now definitely promise is the non.elec, tion,.therefore, of a Loco Foco Governor. The elections - of Monday will determine the question whether or not Massachusetts is a Whig State. . 1 Morton's plurality; reported by the At las, is 244; as reported by the State Demo crat, 405; by the Post, 529. From forty towns there are already returns of 235 scat tering votes. There is reason to believe that the Whigs will now re-unite, & losing sight of the license law, which it'is now agreed on all sides to abandon, secure the Whig ascen dancy in the state. This can be done, and I doubt not will be. The Whigs are sur prised and disappointed, and feel that the on ly hope of maintaining the party ascendency in the state, is to secure a competent num ber of the fifty-six members yet to be elected I regret to learn that the Hon. William B. Calhoun and the Hon. John Reed, of our Congressional delegation are so ill that they may he unable to take their seats in season to vote on the election of Speaker. In the Fitinklin district there can now be 'no election of a member in season tip take his seat at the opening of the session. Thus there will•be in all probability three Whig votes in the Massachusetts delegation lost on the Speukerahip. I may as well add that there is no doubt of the accuracy of the Atlas' report of Mor ton'a majority. Even the Locos have more faith in it than in their own calculation.— They are ' well persuaded that there has been no choice ; and though they have had their powder bought, and their music hired for a week, they are afraid to get up a jubi• lee. 127,821 10:4,971 '24,850" A Shocking Accident.—We regret to learn, says the New Hort (N H.)

The Immo had been raised to a considerable height, and planks laid across the beams to afford a foothold to those assisting in con structing the roof, cf-c. After a number of men had ascended upon the planks, the sup• port underneath gave way, and twenty nine persons were precipitated to the ground, with the timber and planks of the frame I Twenty six of the number were badly injur ed, but strange to say, not a . life was lost.

UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS: No medicine has, perhaps, ever - met with'stich decided and general success as Gouley's Vegetable Bitters. THIS medicine has been but a few years before life public, and the demand for it has already become so great, that the sub scriLer finds it difficult to supply the numer ous orders which he is constantly receiving. Innumerable Certificates in his possesaii t o bear testimony to its medicinal virtues Aid, attest the fact of its having preservr4Olie lives of hundreds both in this city and else where.

The most violent shocks we have here experienced took place on Wedri”sdav, the 16th, at. half-past .two, in the morning, and last night, (that of Wednesday, the 23d) at a quarter past ten o'clock.. This last . shock was the severest and most slat mo o r sEock °full. Families were put iruo confu sion by it, and some left their homes in alarm. Sleep was banished for the niiiht. To the writer of this account, the sensation seemed as if two strong impulses upward— the second close following upon. but stronger ihan.tho fist—were 'given to the ground, causing it to bound upward. The house seemed to reel, like a vessel mounting a. lofty surge coming suddenly upon it. Hall an hour afterwards a slighter shock was experienced. A story of the death of lorii, inn, had produced quito a sensation in London; but it was soon found to be a hoax. Parliament had been further prorogued to tho 4th of December.
