FRIGHTFUL Loss OF LIFE IN ATHEA-
TIRE.

On the night Of Saturday, the 18th ultimo,
the Theatre Royal, in Glasgow, Scotland, }
took fire in the upper gallery, from a leakage
in the gas pipes. The FIRE was soon extin-
guished; but snch was the alarm Of the peo
pie that in the rush TO get out, sixty-five per-
sons persisted. The panic wasprincipally in
the upper gallery, where there were about
five hundred people, the price of admission
being only three pence. The crowd rushed
down the stairs in the terror Of some unde-
fined calamity, and fell one over another at
the foot, thereby making barricade Of a
compact mass Of PROSTATE human beings a.
gainst the only means of egress. Indcpend
emit of the pressure of human beings upon
each other, this fight Of stairs soon became

down by the strong, the latter only to be
trampled down in turn By the furious crowd
in the rear The noise Of the stiAed cries
and groans, and the struggles for life which
came from this horrid staircase, were most

obtained BY cutting through the PARTITION

THE BIBLE--TME CONSTITUTIONS
GEN. TAYLOR.


AT the Presbyterian Ladies Fair, in Frankfort,
KY. General Taylor. being present, was presented
with beautiful copy Of the Bible and the Consthu-
ton Of The United States. bound ID one volume.
The Rev. Mr.. Robinson, in behalf OF the ladies,
presented the volume with'appropriale remarks.
To which Gen. Taylor responded
accept with gratitude and pleasure your
gift of this inestimable volume. 1t was for
their love of the truths Of this great and
good book that our fathers abandoned their
native shores for the wilderness. Animated
by its lofty principles, they toilcd and suf.
fered till the desert blossomed like rose
The same truths sustained them in their re-
solution to become q free nation And
guided by the wisdom of this Book, they
founded a government under which we have
grown from three millions to more than
twenty millions Of people, and from being
but speek on the borders Of this continent,
we have spread from the Atlantic to the Pa
ciGc.. trust that their principles of liber-
ty may extend, if without bloodshed, from
the Northern to the Southern extremities Of
this continent.
II there we're in that book nothing but its
great precept, sAll things whatsoever ye
would that men should do unto you, do ye
even 50 to them" and that precept were o
beycd, our government might extend over
the whole continent
Accept, sir, my thanks for the Kind man.
ner in which you have discharged this duty,
and expressing again my sincerest thanks to
the ladies for.their beautiful gift pray that
health, peace and prosperity may long be con-
tinued to them.

STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION.

steamboat Woodsnan exploded at Bayou Sara land

The Woodsman was bound for Red River
She collapsed both Of the fues of her lar
board boiler, killing and scalding several per-
sons. Our informant states that three were
killed outright, and that several others we're
missing, amongst the latter one of the en-
gineers Of the boat Twenty-Five others
were dreadfully scalded, some Of whom must
die from their injuries -four or FIVE Of them
certainly.
The scene is described as most heart rend-
ing Husbands and wives, parents and
children, brothers and sisters, and other re-

HENRr CLAY on EMANCIPATION.


The Hon. Henry Clay has written ! letter 10 he
members Of TIE Keui1eky ssa,e Conversion. On he
subject q emaneipating slaves
We are Indebted % The Louisville Courier for !
copy q he letter, which Is eaiis l>nsshy The fol-
lOxing extract win show Mr.. clays opiniun On The
Subject.
Without undertaking to Judge for any
other State, it was my opinion in 1899 that
Kentucky was inta condition to admit Of the
gradual emancipation Of her slaves and how
deeply do | lament that system, with that
ohject had not then been established fit
had been, the State would nov be ncsrly rid
Of all slaves Ny opinion has never changed
and have freqnently publicly expressed il
should be most happy If what was impracti-
cable at thatepoch could now be accomplish
ed
After full and deliberate consideration Of
the subject il appears d me that three prin-
eipies should regulate the establishment Of 4
system or gradual emancipation. The first
Is, that il should Be slow in its operations,
cautious, and gradual, so as to occasion no
convnlsion. nor any rash or sudden disturb
ance in the existing habits of society. cd
That, as an indispensable condition, the q.
mancipated slaves should be removed from
the State to some Colony. And, thirdly, that
the expenses of their transportation to such
Colony, including an outfit for six months
after their arrival at it, should be betrayed
by fund TO be raised from the labor of each
freed slave
Nothing could be more unwise than the
immediate liberation of all the slaves in the
State, comprehending both sexes, and all ages,
from that Of tender infancy to extreme old
age. 1t would lead to the most frightful and
fatal Consequences. Any great change in
the condition Of society should Be marked by
extreme care and circumspection The in-
PRODUCTION Of slaves into the Colonies was an
operation of many years duration; and the
work Of their removal from the U. States
can only be effected after the lapse Of great
length Of time
l think that period should be fixed when
all born after it should be free at specified
age, all born before it remaining slaves for
life. That period would suggest should be
1855 or even 1860; for on this aud other ar
rangements Of the system, if adopted, i in
cline to a liberal margin, so as to obviate as
many objections, and to unite as many opin-
ions as possible. Whether the commence.
meut Of the operations of the system be q
little earlier or later, is not so important as
that a day should be permanently fixed, from
which we could look forward, with confidence,
to the final termination of slavery within the
limits of the Commonwealth.
