An Irish Gem-sam Houston.

Among the gentlemen who composed the Irish
delegations that recently visited this city, with
petitions to the President in behalf of O'Brien,
Meagher and Mitchell, nowin Van Diemans Land
by British sentence, was THOMAS DARCY MCGEE
a compatriot of the exiles, writer of great
force and eloquence, man ofsplendid education,
with high mental gifts, and now editor of the
"Celt," at Boston. At the Irish supper, at
Carusi's Saloon, Mr. McGhee was enthusiastically
called out, and in the commencement of his re-
marks he made the following allusion to General
HoUsToN, who had just retired:
Certainly under no pressure of circumstances
would have risen here, at this moment, if our
venerable friend, the hero of Texas, had not been
called away, and had not imposed on me the task
Of answering for him. Need | say how honored
feel in this trust, coming from a man whose
stature is not more herculcan than the load of
history he carries his shoulders-one of the
fathers of this confederation still living among
in taking the place of one whose obelisks shall
stand when all the Texan forests have fallen !;
whose namc and the songs of whose victories, must
mingle with the currents of the Rio Grande for
eyer!'

Police and other Matters.

We have received number of com munications
complaining Of nuisances and grievances, for
which the city authorities, police, companies and
individuals are severally censured. Our own
course in such matters is to apply to the offend
ing parties for reform or redress; and we think
that those who complain to us should, in general,
pursue that course. after such application is
made and disregarded, more public complaint
would not be unreasonable or unkind.
Prompted by the suggestions of some of these
correspondents, we would, as matter of infor-
nation, direct the attention of the police to the
vicinity of the Northern Liberties market-house
on the Sabbath day, and to the corner of and
18th streets on afternoons and evenings. In both
of these neighborheods property is said to be in
great danger, and the neighbors are constantly
annoyed and alarmed
More than this intimation we feel assured will
not be necessary to correct the evils of which
complaint is made

Political Movements in the south.

The Union party Of alabama, in convention
assembled, have adopted resolutions in relation
to the coming Presidential contest. They are
opposed to a coalition with either Wing or Demo
cratic National Convention to nominate a Presi-
dent and Vice President, but propose holding a
National Union Convention in the city of Wash
ington on the first Monday of June. The reso-
lutions strongly condemn the doctrine of "Inter-
vention"
The. Southern Rights party of Alabama have
adopted resolutions in favor Of the Baltimore
Democratic Convention, and have appointed dele
gates to represent the State therein.
The Union party of Georgia, before the adj
journment Of the legislature on the 22d ultimo,
passed resolutions in favor of sending delegates
TO the Baltimore Democratic Convention, for the
purpose Of enabling them to obtain the approval
Of that body to the Compromise measures of the
31st Congress

Internal improvements In Alabama.

Individual energy in any project OF human
enterprise is capable Of accomplishing much good
4 to the country and the one mind conceiying
and controlling is the best assurance Oh It's sue
cess Without enumerating numberless instances
in practical life to illustrate this remark, it
gives us great pleasure to apply it in relation to
the State of Alabama, now actively engaged in
the work of improvement in rail and plank roads,
the last of which, through the energy of one of
the most practical men in Georgia, John G. Win
ter esq, has become not inconsiderable feature
plank road are now in operation in Alabama,
realizing the greatest expectations of the best
friends of the system. SO far as gates have been
erected, the returns are from ten to twenty per
cent AS the roads extend, the tolls increase.
Lands adjacent to them have become far more
valuable, although but year and half have
elapsed since the first plank was laid. Public
carriers offer to cantract for hauling twenty-five
| miles for ten cents hundred but cannot obtain
| the price Estimating corn at fifty cents, fod-
der ut seventy-five cents, and the transitu at
one dollar per day, the carrier can make money
| if he can get steady employment at ten cents a
hundred each way for o distance of fifty miles.
The greatest difficulty in the building Of plank
roads in Alabama has been in the want of saw
mills to supply the plank. Montgomery is, how
ever, doing much to overcome this difficulty, by
her steam saw-mils, in which, we learn, from
two hundred and fifty to three hundred thou
sand feet of lumber can be cut by single upright
saw in one month.
The town of Wetumpka has been greatly bene-
flied by these roads-indeed almost resuscitated
from state of lethargy to one of unusual ac-
tivity. She has now radiating, north, south,
and east, fifty -four miles complete, and twentysix
miles graded ready for planking. The last con-
tracts were let out at two thousand dollars per
mile complete, and the contractor is realizing a
profit from them.
| Such are some of the effects of these improve
ments in Alabama A similar state Of facts
might be stated in relation to Georgia, did her
railroads not entirely overshadow all her other
improvements. 1t is gratifying to know that our
Southern States so actively engaged in giving
to themselves high positions in the Union, and
becoming more and more useful in their relations
| to commerce.

The Fire Last Night.

The fire last night consumed several buildings
on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 10Th
street
The corner house, the property of Mr.. Corcoran,
was occupied by Mr.. Bishop, as q periodical
store-supposed to have saved most of his stock
The building was small frame of little value.
The next house on the Avenue was also de-
stroyed. 1t was two-story brick occupied by
Mr.. O.. +. P. Hazard as lottery Office. Mr.
Hazards loss was inconsiderable The building
was owned by Mr.. Corcoran.
The second brick on the Avenue was also de-
stroyed. 1t was occupied by Mr.. J. T. Lloyd as
grocery store. He lost everything, to the value
of 81 500 or So, 000 He was insured for 81 900.
The upper part was occupied by Messrs. FAINT
and Evans, and 7. Ewing, jr., claims agents, &c.
They lost their libraries clothing, &C., but saved
most of their papers. Their loss is estimated at
81, 900. This building was owned by Mr.. Sulli-
van. II rented for $400.
The third brick building on the Avenue was
occupied by g. w. Wren MS refectory and
restaurant. The house was owned by Foxhalls
heirs-rent $500. The "Mansion House, next
adjoining this, remains uninjured, thanks to the
vigilance of the fire department. Its occupant,
Mr. John Coburn, lost nothing except what
resulted from the removal of everything out of
the house.
Mr.. Chas. +. Myers had some goods stored in
Loyds celar--loss about $4O0.
This disaster must have been the work of an
incendiary, who is supposed to have kindled the
fire in the rear part Of Lloyd's cellar. The fire
upon the first alarm was supposed to have been
suppressed at about eleven o'clock. But it broke
out afresh, at forty-fve minutes past three, with
consequences as above detailed Much difficulty

BE The Mr.. Young, of Manchester, who is

prove useful here in Washington We listened
to speech the other day, and as we of course
did not venture on forming an opinion of our
own respecting its merits, we hearkened very at
tentively to hear what other folks would say.
One remarked that it was all gas, and another
objected that there was nothing solid in it. We
inferred that good condensing apparatus that
would make it solid was all that was needed !;
and as many of the speeches made here have
this peculiar property of expansiveness, we think
Mr.. Young had better be invited over. Send a
