secrets Of all hearts known what count the petty
distinctions of the blinded sectarian.
The Arab, in his desert tent, may display hospl-
tally in different fashion from that prescribed by
the usages of the Z" best society of the western
world, but he is none the less sincere IN MS 1eehgs
the man who has tasted " the blessed bread and
salt " with him, is free to go untouched, though he
had murdered his father. So with any of the other
virtues of the human character. The mere outward
form of their manifestation nothing-the true mo.
tive and inward feeling is everything. How men
worship Cod so they do it in sincerity and in TRUTH
is not for their felow-men dictate to at
The true object of worship is matter to be re-
spected and the persons who treat any public wor-
ship with evity or disrespect must upon reflection,
feel that it is in respect to themselves and to their
maker that they have been wanting.
&C Neither House of Co, gress was in session on
Saturday SO far, little of any great importance
has been done. The Senate has progressed farthest
witt It's business, and is waiting for the House. But
this is essentially the long session, when half the
speeches are made nominay to the House or Senate,
but really to the country, and for the purpose of cleo
tioneerng. Mr. Paine has introduced bill in rea-
ton TO our river and Bar. We trust it may be sue
csssful, but we have many fears on the subject.
Mr.. Winsow has introduced some bills for the re-
lief of certain of his constituents, and otherwise ex-
hbed his interest in the public and private welfare
of his constituents and the country at large.
The Reeder affair, with relation to Kansas, still en-
cages public attention, and forms the theme of Con-
gressional discussion and speech making The Free
Sellers claim 10 have achieved triumph in carrying
through the resolution to send for persons and pa
pers Mr.. Haven, Mr.. Fillmore's right hand man,
voted with them on that resolution. Douglas, in the
Senate, is carrying his struggle against Know
Not hingism, Abolitonisn, and all the other isms
ard be it remembered that the crowd that encoun-
tiers the said Little Giant will have its hands very
full and more than it can attend TO. Douglas gives
it to them all around.
Upon the whole, it may be said that Congress has
not yet fairly begun to think of work. 1t will do
something some months after this.
90 We notice that the Mayor, through an adver-
tlsement in the Herald of Tuesday, states that the
authorities highly gratiied last night at the
prompness and efficiency OF the newly formed How
ard Relief Engine Company, and take this method
of expressing their commentator of the success at
tending this their first trial"
The Howard Company deserve all the credit that
could be given to them, and trust that they will
long continue their public spirited efforts or tho good
OF the community.
The New DOME FOR THE CAPIToL-The esma-
ted cost of the new dome to be placed the Capitol
at Washington City, D. C., is $945O00, or,
say 81 100000, in round numbers. 1t is to be of
cast iron, and surely ought to be very magnificent
affair for that money. The national Capitol, with
its immense additions and dome, will be not on
ly the largest, but one of the expensive edifces
devoted to legislative business in the world
/ FIRE.-About twelve o'clock last night alarm
of fire raised proceeding from a wooden build
ing on the wharf, attached to Mr.. Cassldey's Ship
Yard and Eext door to Messrs. Sutton & Southmayds
foundry. The building in which the fire originated
was totally consumed also frame dwelling
house cas-. of it The foundry sustained very little
damage, although 1t got somewhat scorched. The
buildings burned belonged TO James Cassidey Esq.
the amount OF whose loss we have not ascertained,
but hardly suppose that it could have been heavy
as might have been expected, considering the extent
of the fire. Less than two thousand dollars, we
should think, would cover the whole The residents
of the burned dwelling placed in a very un-
pleasant predcamen, 10 say the least of it, being
turned out into the streets at midnight We did not
learn who occupied the house or houses.
