ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBUS.

The Ship Columbus, Capt. McCewen'
has arrived at New Y ork, from Liverpool
via Faval, having, when 80 days ont from
Liverpool, suffered SO much damage from
= Gale, that she was obliged to put into
Fayal to reft and replenish her stores.
She left Fayal on the 22d of January, al
which time nothing had been heard OF the
steamship Atlantic; this was % days aiter
the Atlantic had sailed from LlverPool;
and in the opinion of many would have
afforded her sufficient time 10 have made
that port, after any damage TO her ma
chinery that may have occurred. The
intelligence makes us look more anxIously
than ever for the Africa. in hopes that She
may bring tidings of the Atlantic having
returned to a British polt The Africa
has not yet been signalled.
Capt. McCewen reports several dlsas-
iers. The Ship Antarctic, from Liver
pool, bound TO California, had also put III
at Fayal, in ieaky condition; she repor-
ted in rescuing in long. 40, six men from
the British brig Isabella of Dundee from
Shields, bound TO New Haven. The
Captain and eight men of the Isabella
were swept overheard by The sea. on the
night of January 6. The brig Main from
Liverpool to Boston had also put into
Fayal ier repairs when 40 days out.

The Hon. Mr.. DISNEY, member of Congress
from the Cincinnati district Ohio, and one of
those Democratic members who have been
named in the newspapers as candidates for the
Speakership, has arrived in this city and taken
quarters at the " National" We have been re-
quested, by friend of Mr.. Disney, to pro-
nounce as utterly unfounded the charge which
has been made in one newspaper, if not more,
that he once favored the cause Of the Abolition
lists. lie not only never did favor that cause,
but all his speeches and writings, for twenty
years past, we are authorized to say, have been
steadily and unwaveringly against the Adolf
tionists
He warmly and eloquently espoused and ad.
vocated the cause Of Texas annexation, and
largely contributed his means to the support Of
that cause.
In 1843 Mr.. Disney addressed, in behalf Of
the Irish Association Of Cincinnati, to Daniel
0'Connell letter Of great power and eloquence
on the subject Of slavery in the United States,
in which he defended the adopted citizens of
this country from the aspersions thrown upon
them by that distinguished but arrogant and
dictatorial leader.

Kossuth-who Is the "Attaohe

kOssuth-WhO Is the "Attachc ~
The Times has a letter from an officer of the
Mississippi, from which we take the following
extract:
"Never has an American vessel been greeted
in the Mediterranean with more enthusiasm.
The attache was disguised and mortified. Poor
sensitive fellow! l, for one, was proud that |
was attached to ship dispatched upon such q
glorious mission, and receiving the cheers and
blessings of thousands wherever we went.
believe, candidly, that the only two men in Mar
settles who were in fear of us, were the Pretet
and the american ConsuL--the Prefet for fear of
offending his noble, high-minded Government,
and the American Consul for fear Of offending
the Prefet."
Does not this put us on the track Of the at
tache? Is he not the American Consul at Mar
settles! The name of that Consul is JOHN L.
HODGE, and if he is not the man, Mr.. A. Oakley
Hall, of this City, through whom the attache !,
letter was published, should come forward and
prove it by making known the real name of the
miserable slanderer.--N Y. Tribune.
We are credibly informed that Mr.. William
L. Hodge, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
has been written to by his brother, the Consul
at Marseiles, relative to Kossuth, much after
the fashion Of the famous letter Of the attacls
referred to.

~ Eleventh street, between Maryland avenue
and the steamboat wharf, presents an improved
appearance since the grade has been changed.
The steamboats,, the shipping, and the beaut-
ful Potomac can be seen now from Maryland
avenue, where, before this improvement, the
hill excluded this view entirely. When the
sidewalks are cut down, this portion Of 18th
street win be what it should have been years
past The self-sscrifcing public Spirit Of the
property holders on this street is highly com
mendable. They have, for the public good,
submitted to great inconvenience and no little
expense in having this alteration made in the
grade. We learn that 1t is in contemplation to
cut down Maryland avenue, from 18th street to
the bridge. This win be good Improvement,
and is one loudly called for by the public con-
vcniencc. Let us have good grading through
out the city, and particularly where business
demands roads or easy ascent and descent, as

Bridge.

Fatal Catastrophe ana Its Cause.


On Wednesday evening, a large four-story
brick building, in Philadelphia, occupied by
five different manufacturing establishments,
took fire, and one man and two young women
were burned to death, while several other per-
sons were more or less injured.
The Evsnmg Bulletin, in abiding to the sub
ject, makes some remarks that may be profta-
bly, applied in other places than Philadelphia,
and we therefore quote them. 1t says:
:. The melancholy loss of life at the fire yes
terday may be regarded as warning to con-
tractors, builders, and real estate owners,
against the too common practice Of erecting
large edifces with but one staircase Had the
factory burned on this occasion had two stair
cases, one at either end of the building, the
horrible death Of some, and the painful MAIN
ing of others, OF the operatives would have
been averted; but motives Of economy pre-
vailed over forethought in the erection of the
structure, and hence this appalling tragedy.
We regard the matter as one suitable for legis-
lative interference, and trust that an act will
be passed this winter forbidding the construc-
ton of factories, or other large edifices, with
out staircases at each end.'
These remarks have peculiar applicability to
places Of public amusement, where panics, at
least, are Of frequent occurrence.

BRAeoISo HIoH The New York Sun re-
marks, that among the Spanish news by late
steamer was the flaming announcement that
General Gardiner, British Governor Of Gibral-
ter, had contributed the sum Of $500 reals
Weldon for the relief Of the Spanish soldiers
wounded in the late battles in Cuba, as testi-
mony Of respect to the memory OF his ci-devant
companion in arms, the late General Emma. A
contribution Of two thousand five hundred reals
sounds like large sum, and we presume many,
unscquainted with Spanish currency, have con-
Guided that Lord Gardiner bad immortalized
himself In plain American currency, the con-
tribution amounts to only $125, A real Weldon
is equivalent to FIVE cents, our half dime. Not
only in currency, but in everything else, does
the Spaniard love to employ high-sounding
terms. 1t is as natural to him q. for water to
run down hill.

Popular Lecture ON Chemical PhiIos-
Ophy.

To the Editors Of The american Telegraph.
GEsrLEMES: am DESTROYS Of expressing my
admiration of the lecture at the Medical Col
lege, on Wednesday, evening, on Chemical Phi
losophy, and the application of the dynamic
agency Of heat and electricity to the useful arts.
The lecture was eminently interesting and in
structive; was uttered with great felicity Of
enunciation and emphasis, and regarded by
gratifed auditory as evidence that its learned
author, James Chestney, ESQ., possessed good
taste and sound judgment, and was master of
the reconcile subject he undertook to illustrate.
His eloquent eulogium on the discoveries Of
Professor Henry and Professor Morse was well
received but am sorry to differ with him in
the opinion he expressed, that the North Amer
lean Telegraph line had not invaded the rights
secured to Professor Morse, and / do 80 with
difidence, as am told the lecturer has also the
reputation Of ell-read lawyer; but it must
be recolected that the question depends not
only upon the facts Of the case, but upon the
construction of the Patent laws--a branch Of
knowledge sui gcneris The whole subject is yet
sub JUDGE, and whatever may be the opinion Of
philosophers, or Of experts, it viii be well
enough for the community to suspend its judy
ment, until the matter shall have been heard
and decided by the Supreme Court, to which
tribunal the parties have concluded to resort.

likely to lose, by the failure Of an insurance

loaned to that institution This report has

is proper to add that since the above was written
gentleman, whose position should certainly
entitle him to know, has positively denied the
