three persons were concerned in the crime,
to which they were instigated by an indi.

Temple, who, our readers may recOllect, COM

lnence of n discovery having been made that

From the Baltimore Patriot of Saturday.

AN IMPORTANT ARREsT.-For several
months past, the treasury department has
been in possession of information calculated
to lead to the detection of the persons engag-
cd in causing the destruction, by fire, Of the
treasury office nt Washington, about three
years past. On wednesday last n person
was arrested in the city of New York, charg-
ca with firing the building with his own
hands, hired to commit the act, rs we have
heard, by some of those who had committed
frauds upon the pension office, which they
wished to have destroyed to screen their
guilt. Other persons, we hear, before this,
will have been. arrested in the western part
'of New York, one in Verinunt, another in
(Ohio. The person that was taken in New
York was brought on yesterday in the steam
boat line in charge Of Mr.. Blaney, the high
constable Of Philadelphia, Mr.. Kelley, deputy
marshal of Ohio, and Mr.. Merritt, of the New
York police. The officers left Baltimore this
morning with their prisoner for Washington,
where the trial is soon to take place.

J Facts and estimates, we have reason to
believe, will soon be presented to the public,
showing its entire practicabiity, at an ex-
pense that will warrant the undertaking, up
on scale commensurate with the magnitude
and importance of the object.
This is one OF the greatest and most valu-
able charters ever granted by the legislature
OF this State. 1t is also one of the most lib
eral. 1t is in perpctuity, and without n re-
servation of the power to modify or repeal,
Very liberal time is granted also in relation
to the period of completion. Upon the whole,
the passage ofthis bill may be regarded as a
measure of the highest Importance to the in.
tercsts of the city and of great value to the
company.
It is due to the representatives of the city
of Troy, to say that their course in relation
to the progress of the bill, has been charac-
terised by great lberality; and that, not
withstanding the supposed rivalry existing
between the two cities in some respects, they
promptly and honorably facilitated its pas
sage.

HE koRAN.-Proftssor Bush, in his
remarks at the anniversaries last week
stated one fact in regard to the Koran
which we We're not before aware Of Il
YVES this; that the Koran maintains the
ltoIemalc system Of Astronomy, viz that
the earth is the centre Of the univers,,
and that the sun and the planets revolvc
round the earth. and the follower of M
homet was compelled 10 believe this, or
suffer the penalty Of eternal damnation.-
This fact. said the professor, renders It
evident, that the Mahommedan religion
contains within itself the seeds Of its own
dissolution. The light of science will
eventually dispel this illusion, and teach
the follower of the false prophet. that the
Koran has made him believe a lie. IF i
will lie in one thing. he will reason, !,
will in another. and tbs whole book must
be false. ''
