PRESENCE OF MIND.

The wife Of The Sheriff of Pittsburg, by
her promptness, presence of mind and en-.
ergy saved the Jail, and 1t is thought, the
Court. house, from being destroyed during
the recen, conhagration. The Gazette
says Sheriff TravlIo was absent, convey
ing prisoner TO the House Of Refuge in
Philadelphia, the Deputy was also absent
on business, and when the fire got up into
that neighborhood, Mrs. Travilo had the
whole burden on her own shoulders. At
the very height Of the danger she called
all the prisoners who we're not in the cells
to the crate, and by name let all the va
grants out. That done, she set them to
work 10 carry water up to the top, and this
only saved it, as the roof was on fire seve-
raj times. The prisoners worked like
good fellows. It's thus by the promptncss
Of lady, that, in all probability, near
$500, 900, besides human life, were saved.

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

The election in Virginia for Members

In the general result we expected nothing

and makes the following remarks;
Without knowing the particulars in

granted from what has occurred here, that
Mr.. Bolts is defeated by from $50 to 200 !
Had this humiliation been Inflicted by the

WAR AND RUMoRs OF WARS.


A late arrival from England has brought
the Debates To the British Parliament arIs'
ing out OF tho relations between Great
Britain and til. country. II appears that
an expression /! at fell from President Polk
IN his Inaugural has been taken N high
dudgeon, and has given rise TO the ebulI'-
ton OF feeling referred to below. The
Prcsdcu, says that our right 10 Oregon US
clear and unquesIionable," this assertion
was too much for the cold equanlmiiy OF
John Bull, and although some seem 10 con
sder 1t war of words, yet we Ioar some
thing more serious will grow on, OF 1t, es-
pccialIy ir each Of the parties contend Tor
the last word There IS no doubt, from
the fact that this question was pending N
negotiation that President Polk committed
an nadycrtcncc which may lead to serious
consequences, for il ~ usual when questions
ntc under negotiations that al reference 10
,hcn are avoided. E.ea President Tyler
