MILLEpcEvILL, May $


 firr.-On Monday night last, about nine o'clock, the Penitentiary was discovered to be on fire The fire broke out in the roof of the long range of two story work shops, d- rectly in the rear of the main building, and in less than 10 minutes the whole roof was in a fiame All efforts to save the other buildings were vain, as the wind blew the flames directly over them. The whole was consumed, toge- ther with a wooden building belonging to the institution outside of the wall, and the county Ijail, and most of the out buildings attached to lit.
 The loss in stock, including raw materials, manufactured articles, and working tools, is between and 10 thousand dollars. None of the prisoners escaped. They were first brought out and put in the jail; and when that took fire, they were guarded in the square, until tine fire had abated so far as to allow of their being put within the outer wall of the Penitentiary. -i't
 The whole town was in great danger, as the wind, which most fortunately happened to be light, carried burning coals directly into the thickest built and most combustible part of it. Several houses were on fire, but by the great exerton ofthe citizens they were saved. The Books,and papers belonging to the Pe- nitentiary, were all saved. 4. No lives were lost, and no serious personal accinent happened to any one Jasper Wilkinson, who was confined in the Ijail, on charge of robbing the mail, made his escape, and has not since been heard of.
 There is no doubt that the Penitentiary was set on fire by design, by some of the convicts; by whom has not yet been ascertained. ises Journak

ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH PEOPLE

By the Honse cf Representatives of Louisiana.
 The annexed Address to the People of France has been adopted by the House of Representatives of Louisiana, and was conveyed to Paris by W. c. c. CLAIBORNE, Esq. a member of the House, and son of a former Governor of that State. FRENcHMEN:-The citizens of Louisiana, the daughter of France, appear before you to tender you their lively congratulations and the expressions of their profound admiration for the issue of that glorious revolution which has just elevated liberty to that throne so long oc- cupied by despotism.
 On receiving the news of the great victory, all America thrilled with joy. But it was particularly in our own vast republic that the purest and most ardent enthusiasm was ava kened in every bosom, that the ancient ally, the faithful friend of the United States, had at length resained her glory.
 When illustrious France suddenly rose in her might, and trampling under foot a hoary headed tyranny and the livery of gothic abuses, was seen to mount the ancient pede S. tai of her rights, and then with the proud micn and imposing attidue which nothing but thir- ty years of victory could inspire, to raise her majestic front to heaven, as if to present to it the sublime spectacle of her regeneration, one burst of applause proclaimed the admiration of the American people.
 The old tri-ctlored banner, that banner as- sociated with the memory of past and the hope of future triumphs, was seen to wave over every American city; it announced to them that liberty was equally worshipped in both nations, and that the work of political emancipation was commenced.
 Could the world, indeed. long remain en- slaved, when liberty had lighted her beacon on the summit of the Capitol and of the con- stitutional palaces of France?
 FrenchmeD, your triumph which filled every portion of our great American family

From the Journal of Commerce.

To European Emigrants-North America and more particularly the United States is land of re- uge for the poor and oppressed of all nations and the Western country is the asylum for their recep- Ition.
 Our Emigrants from 1794 under Dr Priesty down to 1917 under Mir Morris Brkbeck, have been truly unfortunate in forming ne,o settlements and this has demonstrated one fact, viz: that they not cacu- lated for western pioneers in an unsettled country Should the West attract the attention of the Euro- pean emigrants. l would remark, that what is call ed the Mad River Country in Ohio, is the most de- srabe part for them in this State, at this time where improved lands may be bought or rented the most reasonable terms, and laborers, both male and fe- male, may find abundant employment.
 Next to Ohio, the improved plains praries in the State of Illinois should attract their atenton.- Mechanics, through the Western States generally, may find employment
 Having person engaged for me at this time in England, l have directed his attention to the above cases there and should those persons landing in any of our port towns from Norfolk, Virginia North desire information respecting any portion of the Western country from Ohio to Missouri, it may be in my power to give them satisfactory information on their addressing me letter on the subject (post paid.)
 It would be benevolent act were societies form ed in the cities on our sea-board for freighting the poor and the helpless to the Western country where they may be profitably employed
 Were some of the wealthy in England to pur- chase large tract of land on the Western waters, and pay the passage their discarded Paupers the mountains as well as the sea, and furnish one years provisions, their labor in improvements in few years might create for them profitable estate.
 Much complaint has been uttered in the cities by Phanthropic persons account of the low wages of females Could the single class ofthose individuals find patrons by of Societies or otherwise, to remove them to the West, they would not only have homes and emnloytnent but if desired nerhans HUSBANDS" also, while the matrons' wages might be augmented thereby, and they remain in the cities.

WAsHiNGToN, April 10, 1881.
 Sir.-I am gratifed to find myself entirely reliev- ed by the distinct explanations at the interview to which you invited me- to-day, from the uncertainty as to the object of your communication yesterday, which had referred to in my note of last evening; and have to make my acknowledgements for the kind ness with which you have expressed your satisfac- tion with the manner in which have discharged the duties of the station to which you had thought pro- per to invite me- and your conviction of the public confidence Tn my administration of the Treasury Department. beg leave however to add, in my own justification for not following the example of the Secretary of State and Secretary of War, in making voluntary tender of the resignation of my office, as as was acquitted with theirs, that I was wholly unconscious the application to myself of any of the reasons, far as l was apprised of them which had induced them to withdraw from the public service It, therefore, seemed to be due to my own character, which might otherwise have been exposed to unfavorable imputations, that I should find reason for resigning in distinct ex- presslon of your wish to that effect this wish has now been frankly announced, and has enabled me to place my retirement on its true ground.
 l have, therefore, the honor of rendering to you my resignation of the office of Secretary of the Treasury of the United States which you will be pleased to accept, to take effect soon as my ser vices may be dispensed with consistently with your views of the public interest.
 l seize the occasion to offer you my thanks for the many testimonials have received of your kindness and confidence, during our official connexion, and especially for the renewed assurence this day. of the same sentiment.
