disquisitions, which shall be Of equal impor-
tance to its readers, and to the country at
large. In making these remarks, it is not to-
be understood, thatspolitics are to be entirely
excluded from the columns ofthe Express; on
the contrary, it's conductors consider them
selves atlbertyto to animadvert freely upon the
acts and doings of all parties, as well as to-
pursue independently any political course
which may be considered beneficial to the,
cause Of equal rights, and republican institu-.

A change in the period Of terminating the

The distressing casualties in steamboats,,
which have so frequently happened during
the year, seem to evince the necessity of at
tempting to prevent them, by means of Sc

house papers. This subject was submitted
to the attention Of Congress by the Secretary
Of the Treasury in his last annual report, and
will be again noticed at the present session,
with additional details. 1t will doubtless re-
ceive that early and careful consideration
which its pressing Importance appears to re-
quire.

Separated by the Constitution from the rest

no Legislature Of its own, it would seem to
be a spot where u wise and uniform system

FIRE IN PROVIDENCE.

! The most serious fire that has occurred in
Providence since the great fire in Westmin-
stcr street, in 1925, took place in that City
on Friday morning last 1t broke out be-
tween 3 and o'clock, sand when first seen
by us (says the Providence Journal,) was
bursting through the roof of the building oc-
cup:ed by d. Brown & Son, No. 43 South
Man-st; and by the time that the citizens
were well erouscd, that and the adjoining
very large three story wooden building occu-
pied by p. Grinnell 4 Son, Hardware Mcr-
chants, presented one vast sheet of flame
The fire got such head way that the engine
department, though as usual its members
worked like heroes, could not stay the rava-
ges Of the conflagration, so as to save either
of these buildings, both of which were burned
to the ground.
! A chamber over No. al was occupied by
John Rowland, Esq, Treasurer of the Saw
ings Institution, who lost many valuable
pamphlets and historical documents the
Bank Books, however, were safe, being de-
posted, as usual, after business hours, in the
vault of the Providence Bank.
The store next South, occupied by Mr.. Bill
lings, Tobacconist, was considerably injured,
as also the adjoining building, tennnted by
James Hazard J. Bnlch's Druggist Shop, op-
posite, received slight injury.
A large proportion Of the watches, tools,
&C., were saved from the Mcssrs. Browns
Store: but from the Messrs Grinnell's moth
ing Of consequence, excepting the account
books. ID. Brown g. Son had 81, ,00C insured
at the Hartford Insurance Office, which will
probably nearly cover their loss.
p. Grinnell e. Sons stock amounted to
about $4,000, or $4,000, on which there
was insured at the Washington Office $4,000,
ot the American Office $4,000, and at the
Etna (Hartford) $4,000. There were nlso
5000 insured on consignments. ut the Etna
Office. No insurance on the building.
The heaviest part of The Messrs. G's stock
was in n fire proof store in the rea-, and re-
ceivcd no damage.
Fortunately it was an unusually calm night,
and the roofs Of the buildings were covered
with snow, otherwise, considering that a
large number Of the houses and stores are Of
wood, mnch greater damage must have been
sustained.
\ About six o'clock in the morning another
alarm was sounded. The fire in this case
was found 10 proceed from the store Of
Mcssrs. c. Clapp and Ormsbee, two buildings
North Of the former one. This was cxtin-
gulshed very promptly, without much damage
to the building; the goods were somewhat
injured by the water, but are fully insured at
the Hartford Insurance Office.

Mr.. Fletcher told us Of the contemptuous
manner in which the petitions of the people
for National Bank were treated by the sub
treasury men in the Committee. Who doubts
the truth of the assertion? Let him read the
concurrent testimony of Mr.. Naylor (of Pa.)
on this point, and then tell us whether MIR.
Cambrelcng and his satellites can escape the
indignant reprobation of an insulted and in
jured people.
But fe ~ days since picked up from the
floor of this House petition Of nearly one
thousand Inhabitants Of Mobile, setting forth
in eloquent language the accumulated evils
and distresses which had borne them down
to the earth, and praying as remedy the cs-
tablishment of national specie-paying in
sti,ution by Congress. There was the peti-
ton on the floor; trumplcd upon; spitten
upon; blurred and blo,tcd and stained! And
at that very moment-yes, at that very mo-
ment, an honorable gentleman from North
Carolina mr. BYNUM) was addressing the
House, and characterzing such petitioners
as panic makers, spectators, and rag barons!
Great Heaven! exclaimed to myself, can
such things be? The petitions of freemen
trampled under foot, and the petitioners them
selves denounced by their own representa-
tives! sprung to my feet at the first op-
portunity; but before my mouth was opened,
the honorable gentleman from New Hamp-
shire, Mr.. Cushman,) whose head is said to
"bossom and bloom with the previous qnes-
tion," availed himself Of his privilege. The
previous question was movcd-and there
could be no reply.
We have been openly called upon by the
leader Of the Administration party in this
House Mr.. CAMnRELENG) not to deliberate,
discuss and honestly make up our minds.
no. sir, no but to "ioe The mark" We have
invoked gentlemen to rush to The rescue Of
liberty suffering, of our country bleeding, and
our people overwhelmed with distress! Our

too irresistible for us TO admit q doubt Of the
truth OF these charges. In the language of
Mr.. Naylor of Pennsy ylvania-
ut is in vain To give further examples Of
the entire dependence Of this House on the
Executive. The President has been passing
our ia,cs! Congress, in truth and in fact, has
had nothing to do with them! His will has
been supreme. This House, instead of be-
ing the free representative body Of the Poo
pie, has been the representative of the Presi-
dent"
1t will be recolected that Mr.. Fletcher's
charge was, that the measures of the session
were executive measures; so much so, that
the bills came ready drawn from the white
house. This charge the committee ADMITS
and this is the ,chole matter of controversy-
This great charge this charge which they
find is working with the people (; this shame
less betrayal of their trust this surrender Of
all power into the hands of the executives; this
monarchy; the committee attempt to wink out
of sight, to mistify and to involve in a mere
petty controversy about words and details
They will not be permitted thus to escape.
They have themselves given the occasion I;
and their egregious outrage on the rights and
duty Of the House, their conversion Of them
selves into the merest conduit pipes of exc
cutive dictation, will be placed before the
people in the strongest light. We owe them
an obligation for having attracted the public
attention towards it.

 nIHE superiority of this instrument over
 anv thing of the kind ever offered to the nublic is fully proved by the testimony of the most experienced surgeons, and the repeated instances in which perfect cures have been effected. We know that safety and life are ieopardized by neglecting immediate atten- tion instance the frequent painful surgical operations in cases of Strangulated Hernia.
 This instrument is new in theory, and pro- duces the most happy practical results. Gen. tlemen and physicians who take on interest in improvements which tend to alleviate hu- man suffering are respectfully invited to ex- anime this instrument.
 Recommendation from Dr. Hyde, Bratle6oro', N.
 After several months investigation, and having seen many cases under treatment with this and other ir- sruments the same kind, the undersigned nhesita- tingly pronounces Jaguiths Aneric0h Irss in his O. pinion superior in mechanical construction retenve power, manner of giving pressure and especially in ease to the wearer to any instrument now before the public. The principle is just one-founded on the principle of adhesive infiammation and the anatomy of the assures implicated; and still more cogent req son for this opinion is, that Hernia has been cured by ces DANA HYDE, M. D.
 Certificates and recommendations can be seen at the Agents room. The best recom- mend is an examination, together with fair trial. Gentlemen who wish can have six days to prove the perfection of this instrument by wearing it. This offer is made with the belief that none will regret the trifiing pecuniary consideration in securing an instrument of intrinsic value.
 pThis Instrument can be had ct the Apothe- caries' Hall, and ct the store of Dr. J. c. Beck aoith, Litchfeld, Conn.
