Yesterday afternoon the propeller Interna-
tional lying at her dock at Black Rock, took
lire and was speedily enveloped in flames
which were communicated to the frontier
FIGURING mills on shore. The mills were en-
tirely consumed, with some 5000 bushels Of
wheat and 300 bbls Of flour. The propeller

We extract the 70 lowing from the money
article of the N. Y. Tribune of the 2Sth
ult.:
We think we can see to-day some little
points Of what looks like daylight on the f.
nancia, horizon. The decline in sterling Ex-
change below the specie points one of these,
and if it should hold so as to check specie
shipments, we should soon have more easy
state of things here. The unexpectedly large
receipt of gold by the Geo. Law is also ia
vorable feature, as Is also the small shipmsnt
by the collins steamer. The continued fall
ing off in imports, in connection with the
small amount of orders sent out for spring
importations, also argue well for the future.
From the West we have no advices of new
disasters, but on the contrary, assurance that
financial matters are assuming quiet aspect.
Exchange at Cincinnati, which was dull at
COS per cent, is now dull at per cent,
and gold which was sent there has been re-
turned, and orders for gold to be sent to
Chicago have been countermanded.
These are all certainly encouraging fea-
lures; and to these must be added one which,
in view of the sensitive relations between the
London money market and ours, is of great
importance. For many months there has
been a continued and extensive drain of pre-
cious metals from England to India. This
drain, with that to the continent, has been
sufficient to counteract largely the bullion in
the bank, notwithstanding the immense re-
ceipts from Australia and America. The
current has now changed, and the last ORR
entail steamer brought to England 92S6, 1000
and the East India Company were about to
import 81 100000 for their home demands
In consequence of large exports and small
imports, it was believed that each succeeding
Oriental steamer would bring considerable,
amount of bullion. This new feature in thu
exchanges of England is an exceedingly i'm
portant one. In view of all these facts, i
would seem that the financial clouds wer,
lifting little. We shall not have full sun
shine very soon-it will take time to recove
from the set back we have had-but we shall
have comparative ease.

The Legislature.

To-day the Legislature commences its ses-
sion, and it promises to be one Of the most
interesting held since our admission into the
Union. /. is tho first time that the Wings
have had the political control of the State,
and the manner in which the public affairs
will be managed by them, is in great meas
ure to be determined by the events Of the
present session. One Of the first subjects
that will claim the attention Of the Senate,
will be the contested election case from the
Polk District, Mr.. Bryan comes up with the
Certificate, but as Mr.. Jordon, (Whlg) re-
ceived some fifty more votes than Mr.. B., he
will contest and claim the seat; and there
exists no good reason why he sOuld not have
it. Aside from the Senatorial and Judicial
elections, questions of the most grave i'm
portance to the State at large, will claim
considerable attention, among which will be
the making of permanent provision for the
Insane, Deaf and Dumb and Blind. Our
Blind Asylum has laborcd under many en-
barrassments for want of suitable house,
and other conveniences, and its present pros
porous condition is in great measure owing
10 the untiring perseverance and energy of
Mr.. Bacon, the able and efficient Principal
The ASYLUM for the Deaf and Dumb, recent
" opened here by Mr.. Ijams, bids fair to meet
the wants of that unfortun ite class, if it re-
ceiycs sufficient encouragement from the
State. These institutions should be endowed
SO as to enable them to put up suitable build
ings and not be left at the mercy of this,
that, and the other landlord, and be obliged
to change their quarters every year.
Our s.Old Fogy" Constitution should be
put in way to be numbered among. the things
that were, for it has become a libel upon the

cy on which there was decision made by
the people at the last August election it was
that our present Constitution should be
changed to meet the exigencies of the times
| and 1--WE have no hesitation that in saying
measures will be taken to bring about such .
change. 1t is not party but the people thai

The present will be a laborious session and
we doubt whether the short period Of fifty
days will afford sufficient time to accomplish
all that should be done.-[ Iowa City Re-
