AN AMERICAN SHip FOR RusslA.-A
New York correspondent, OF the Newark
Daily Advertiser says that w. II.
Webb, the eminent ship builder. lately
went from New York on very interest
business.
"Mr. Webb, some year or two since,
conceived the design OF constructing
ship of the line upon an improved mod.
el, combining the swillness Of tic clip
per OF our days with the strength of The
old fogy battle ship. The stupidity, as
well as the reckless extravaganza OF our
own government is so well known that
it was futile TO attempt TO negotiate
with it. The Russian Emperor ap-
reared the most feasible po .en'ate Of
Europe, who could give Mr.. Mebb the
desired opportunity, especially since il
was. known from authentic sources,
that he was dcsirous Of obtaining yes.
sci constructed after our progressive
American IDEAS"
After long delay, and one deci-
sion against him, the correspondent
says:
'The Emperor, who reconsidered his
previous decision, and ultimately gave
Mr.. w. the commission desired, viz !:
TO build in Nep York a hundred gun
ship, furnished uih steam propeller
as auriliurv porer. and to delirer her
pithin reasonable time at 81. Peters

The Grand Duke declared that the
government had followed English mod
els long enough, and now meant TO take
higher standard. American marine
skill is not surpassed by any nation in
the world, if her navy is cause Of
Iaughter.'

The yellow fever has taken another
hero for its victim, Brevet Brigader
General Chllds, OF the army, having
died OF it at Tampa Bay on the S,h
inst. Col. Chids was a native of Maine,
and one ofthe most gallant officers If
our army. lie was with Gen. Taylor's
army al the commencement OF the Mex.
lean war, and commanded the artillery
battalion in the battles OF Palo Alto
and Rcsaca de la Palma. At Monte
rey he commanded the storming party
OF artillery, infantry and Texas rife
men, and contributed much towards the
success Of the attack on the city. He
was afterwards with Gen. Scott's army
at the landing at Vera Cruz. At Cerro
Gordo he commanded portion of the
FRS. Artillery, which was engaged in
the successful attack upon that height,
and Gen. Scott in his official report ac-
knowledgcd his gallantry and called
him { the often distinguished Brevet
Col. Childs." He continued with Gen.
eral Scott's army as far us Puebla,
where he was placed in command, and
where he not only exhibited his Gus
tomary bravery, but endeared himself
to the army and the volunteers by his
humane conduct IN all crcumstances.-
Many Of the Pennsylvania volunteers
remember hlm with much gratitude, and
will learn with regret OF his death. Col.
Chlds was promoted, after The war, to
Brevet Brigadier GeneraIship. He
was IN the prime Of life with the pros
pect Of many years longer oi honorable
service, when he was cut of by the
pestIlence.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL ouEsr1oW.

Our City Council some time since passta am
ordinance prohibiting any man from using lurl-
Der in the building Of a frame houss. There
was no prohibition against the possession or uss
Of certain building materials, provided heya
we're not used in that particular manner--yiz:,
lin the building Of frame honses Why NOT
because the frame houses would iniurs anyss
body; but because they might, perhaps iniufsg
sOmbOdy ami the majority resolved to project
itself from supposed, or merely probable. dau-
ger, by entirely restraining and prohibiting ihsE
building Of frame houses. Yet everybodyf
knows that fire may originate in brick house,
and burn down frame house on one side and -
brick house on the other. Besides this, many,
persons think frame houses are healthier, auda
would prefer them at the same cost. AT .thisv
time the ordinance is an impediment in the way
of building, just when we most need houses.2-
Now was this ordnance constitutional? Boz.
body evey denied it. lis cOn,titutiOnality was-
recognized on precisely the same grounds tkatS
sustin the advocates of an ordinances prohibiting
the licensing Of dram-shops ps--excspt that in the
latter ease the principle is much stronger; for.
the injuring is palpabls, daily, and universally
acknowledged. The injuries are not merely
such as may occur, but they all the time cc-
curing. On the other hand it is very serious
| ly doubted by many men OF sound Judgment 4
whether it would not be best for all IL the Ordi-
nance prohibiting the building Of frame h ouses
had never been passed. For instance, that
whole burnt district would have been rebuilt.
and we can name half dozen men who wsuld |
have put up frame houses and shops. 3, bra ssgs
Now, If this ordinance is scOnstiiutionsl,- ,-Snd
no opponent of il has ever dreamed Of testing It .
judicially, knowing too wen the result--if this
ordinance against frame houses is constitutional,
then will that be also, which shalt relieve the y
people of what is indiSputably an immense pub.

II is the universal request Of the petitioners,
your masters and n,istyesses, gentlemen of the
council, that you use the power conferred upen
you in our charter. They insist upon il, lhey
demand it, they will be satisfied with nothing
less. Pass the ordinance shoulder .he -e-rc.-
sibity, as you are expected TO do, of faithfully q
and fearisssy discharging public duty, and let
the enemies Of the ordinance have its constitu-
tionalty tested, If they dare. Rest assured they
will shrink back from the prospective bill of
costs but, whatever course they may choose to
take, you will be sustained by majority Of the
lIpeople.
