The PHLADELpuIA MOB.-Gov. Ritner
has issued Proclamation announcing his
"regret that the soil Of Pennsylvania has been
disgraccd, the rights of her peaccablc citizens
out ragged, and their property destroyed by
acts OF lawless riot" and Offering reward oi
$500 for the apprehension Of each and every
person engaged in burning the building
called "Pcnnsylvana Hail." or in setting fire
to the Orphan Asylum.
The proclamation does honor to its author,
and we quote the remainder Of its preamble
The torch of the incendiary has been ap-
piled by unmasked vioaters of law. in The
darkness of night, in the heart of crowded
city, aud for the avowed purpose OF prevent.
ing the exercise Of the Constitutional and in.
valuable right Of the free communication OF
thoughts and opinions And whereas, If II
be true that seven error of opinion may be
tolerated while reason is left free to combat
it, the practice of combating supposed error
with the frebrand, or of punishing even crime
without the established process of law, must
be the very essence oftyranny. And where
as, it is the duty of the magistrate to protect
all in the exercise Of their constitutions
rights without respect to the question whether
their respective objects be or be not agreeable
to hmsclf or others, SO long as their deport-
ment is peaceful and the object lawful.
And whereas, it is the duty of the Cover
nor of this Commonwealth, 'to take care that
the laws he faithfully executed especial.
in cases where enormity transcends The mag
nitude of common guilt.
The Mayor Of Philadelphia has issued hl'
proc lamation offering a reward of $4,000 fo
the apprehension and conviction of the per
petrators.

50 possesses the eioquence and the ability
necessary to discriminate and enforce
them. He is capable OF saying more than
one scord ON any subject interesting to the
welfare of his country.

NEw-oRLEANs MONEY MARKET.

We learn from the Bulletin that some
of the banks commenced discounting on
the 23i. The same paper further OBJ
serves; "this is the first and capital step
towards the relief of present embarrass-
ments, which should be extended as far as
prudence will permit. The very fact,
however, that the hanks are ready to dis
count, whenever solvent securities are pre-
sented, must make favorable impression
on the money market. From this date a
daily improvement may be anticipated un-
til every obstacle is removed by the re-
sumption of specie payments. From
some cause or other, known probably to
brokers, specie has risen in value recent
ly, and now commands premium of seven
per cent. This don't look much like spe-
Gle payments, other signs to the contrary
notwithstanding.-U

his trial before the U. 5. District Court IN
June next. At Auburn, where the exa'
mnation to final commitment for trial was
held, he declined to give bail. Perhaps
he wished to see who in Albany would
voluntarily come forward as his sureties

Col. Woodruff, of Saina, gave bail for his
appearance before the same court; and the
