THE pITTsBURG CALAMITY.

We have the PiltsDurg uaZette oil the
18th, from which we copy few paragraphs
containing farther information respecting
the late fire in that city.
A committee appointed by the Councils,
after full examination of the burnt dis
trict, having minuIely visited every part of
it, have arrived at the following result.
9s2 buildings burnt, value, SI,566, 500
Value of personal property burut 9l3 ,45O
Total S3,476,95O
This does not include money or person.
al property of young men not keeping
house.
In calculating the value Of real estate,
the Committee have estimated the cash
value of the Improvements as they were be-
fore the fire, and not what it will require
TO repair or rebuild them, which must ex-
coed the above estimate at least rs per
cent.
The burnt district covers.fdy acres in
the city, and sic acres out of it.
1'''tote OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES EllZd-
beth,-We are indebted to the officers of
the steamboat Wave for an extra of the
St. Landry Wing, of April Sd, containing
the following distressing particulars of the
explosion of the boilers of the Elizabeth:
The Elizabeth started from New Or
leans on Sunday evening last, and when
entering the Courtaubleau from the Atch-
aiaIaya, her boilers collapsed, and COM
|pletely tore her upper works TO atoms
The explosion took place about 3 O'Clock
on Tuesday morning, to which may be
attributed the preservation Of many lives,
as her entire works above the boilers were
swept away, together with her boilers and
deck fixtures. Shortly after the accident
the Wave came up, rendered all the asst.
ance in her power, and towed the wreck
up to Washington.
We insert the subjoined list furnished
US by the clerk who escaped uninjnred'
]. II. Gordon, captain, very badly scald-
ed and bruised
Daniel York, mate, killed.
t Freeman B, Lamb, first pilot, leg fruc
ured
John Parish, second pilot, injured.
James MarQui,e, first engineer, very
badly scalded
Nelson Hill, second engineer, missing.
Charles NJ, Jones, barkeepcr, injured,
Mr. Ireland, carpenter; steward, cook
and cabn-boys, uninnred.
- Rhodos, deck hand, missing.
One negro fireman slightly scalded, and
one fireman, missing.
Passengers uninjured, except few who
were slightly bruised.
We regret to learn that Capt. Gordon
is in very critical state.
The steamer Highlander reports the
steamer Hannbal nearly dry on bar at
island No. IA, with no possibility Of her
getting off until the river rises. The
steamer Walnut Hills was reported at
Memphis to be hard aground OH the bar at

Obedience 10 Legislative MStruct,onS.--
Time was, when this used to be insisted
upon as cardinal feature in the demo-
cratic creed. In their course upon the
Texas question, however, the Loco Fo-
cos have violated this, as well as every
other well-cstablished principle of De-
mocracy. Senator'S Allen and Tappan OF
Ohio-w,hout whose votes Annexation
could not have been consumated al
though instructed in the most direct and
positive terms, to oppose the measure,
gave it their warm support. And for this
wilfuly setting at defiance the ins'ruc-
tons of the Legislature, and the wishes OF
the people o. Ohio, Messrs Allen and
Tappan receive the encomiums of the
consistent Loco Foco press!
albany Erening Journal
Our whig contemporaries throughout this
State, have copied the proceeding arti-
Gle, some with very indignant comment.
They, no doubt, find it convenient not to
remember while animadverting upon the
conduct of the Ohio Democratic Senators,
that the Legislature of Vermont, two years
ago, unanimously instructed our Senators
in Congress to vote for the passage of a
one day election Bill, and that the Sena-
tors both dsobeyed their Instructions
voted against the Bill and by their votes
defeated its passage!

GAMBLING IN LONDON. The N. York cor

the following anecdote, which he saws he heard
IRON AN English gentleman now in that CITY. TO H.
lustrate the extent to which stock gambling was
carried in London in 1926:
6 was in London (says the gentleman alluded
toy In 1926, and was frequenter Of the Stock Ex-
change, and an occasional OPERATOR during the
fearful excitement and speculation of that memo
rable year. | well recollect having sold one dav
for friend OF mine, seven shares in the stock Of
one OF the mining companies dhe fancy stock of
the tme) for 9l200 sterling, the par being f10O
and the purchaser made large profit on his pur-
chase was stakeholder in the ROYAL Metro.
polltan Umbrella Company the object Of which
was to loan umbrellas in the case Of unexpected
ram The company had station houses in all the
leading business streets, where, on the deposite
OF a sum OF money, any one might procure an UNI
brella at the rate of four pence sterling per hour
Inc umbrellas were returnable at any of the sta
ton houses, and the deposites there redeemable.
On the depostes thus made the company did a
very respectable banking business, which lasted
about as long as many of the institutions which
were organized in that year. | never shall for
get the horrors of the crash which succeeded
these sPeculations-the ruin, misery and DESPAIR
which resulted from them. AS far as | can
judge, from reading the accounts of speculations
now going on in railway shares | apprehend that
like result win be produced"

THE TERM WHIG"-WHAT IT MEANS.

L y,
We are well reminded by Southern paper,
that before Mr. Calhoun allied himself with the
party now ascendant in the Government, he
seemed to be greatly charmed with the appropri.
ateness OF the term Wing. So strong, indeed,
were the Impressions made upon his mind by the
abuses oil power, by the then leaders of the De-
mocclacy, that he even sanctioned the use of the
old Revolutionary name of Tory An extract
from his remarks on this subject made in the
senate In 1888, may not be inappropriate at this
tune, as his views may serve to remind some of
his present followers of what he then thouobt of
them. He then said:
. cannot but remark that the reui0aI of the
party names Of The Revolution, after then had so
tong sIum6ered, Is not acith0ut aaeaning-not
without an indication of return to those princi-
pies which lie at the foundation of our liberty
Gentlemen ought to reflect that the extensive
and sudden revival of these names WING and
Tory could not be without some adequate cause.
Names are to be taken or given at pleasure
there must be something to cause their opplica-
ton to adhere. If | remember rightly, it was
Augustus, In all the plentitude of his power, who
SAID mat he found 1t impossible to introduce new
WORD. what, then, is that something's What is
there in the meaning of WING and Tory. and
what IN the character Of the times, which has
caused thesf sudden reviUal as party distinctions
at this time?
take II that the very essence of toryism-that
winch constitutes tory-is to sustain prerogative
against privilege; to support the Executive against
the Legislative department of the Government,
and to lean TO the side Of power against the side Of
hDerty while the Wings are in all these partic-
uiars OF the very opposite principles These are
me te0dtng characteristics Of the respective par
mes, NHIG- and Tory, and run through their an
peation in all the variety Of circumstances in
which they have been applied, either IN this
country or Great Britain. "-.Nat Int
