roasted alive.
The fire is suddued. Only two bodies
have been taken out since the confagration.
Coroner Lamb commences an inquest to-
day.
THIRD DISPATCH.
We have very little additional in regard
to the dreadful catastrophe. A large por-
ton of the killed were young girls, many
of them being the main support of their
parents.
The fire was confined to the ruins of the
Pemberton Mills. The loss of property is
estimated at 100000.
On the morning of the 18th squad Of
| canvassers were organized and the whole
city laid out into small districts and a pref
ty thorough canvass was entered in to, the
men going from house to house and by this
means ascertaining in every family wherein
persons were wounded, missing or safe
The summing pshows that 1872 persons are
missing. This embraces all those known to
have been killed, and of whom DO Gdings
have been obtained. 1t is admitted by those
who have gone into the investigation that
82 persons are yet buried beneath the brick
and mortar of the ruins. One hundred and
thirty dead bodies have been taken to the
City Hall, or been delivered to recognizing
! friends

In it the Presi- dent a6irnus his determination to submit the constitution to the vote of the people of h0n- sos, He says: con the question ot sap' hitting the constitution to the bona fds res idents of Kansas, I am ready to stand or faN." This was as late as the middle or July. Directly after, the policy Of the sd: ministration was changed. The Preslaen' refused to submit to the popular vote.

A LADY FRIGHTENED INTO INsAN1rY.- There is now in female lunatic asylum at Hammersmith Q lady of exquisite beauty, who was driven mad by being suddenly
 startled by her maid. The lady's name is H., and she resided with her husband, Mir. H., wealthy shareholder, at splen- did mansion in Cavendish square. One even- ing, about six weeks ago, she strolled in the dusk into her husbands library to procure a book. Tho lady's maid saw her enter the apartment, and, in mere frolic, concealed herself behind the curtains belonging to the window, until her mistress had placed he, hand upon the work she came in search of when she suddenly sprang upon her with Q loud shout. The lady was so astounded by the shock, that she was struck almost sense less. Delirium ensued, confirmed madnes. followed, which has ever since continued without abatement, to degree dangerou! to all who come near he. Her propensitie' are fierce and vicious; she tries to bite at al
 who approach her, and it is more than prob able she will never recover her reason.-- London Paper.

A CONFIRMED FARMER.

Once upon a time, Frederick, King oI Prussia, surnamed "Old Fritz" took a ride and espied an cid farmer plowing his acre by the wayside, cheerfully singing his mel. ody.
 |" You must be well off," said the king; docs this acre belong to you, which you so industriously labor?"
 "No, sir" replied the farmer, who did not know that it Was the king, 'I am not so rich as that; l plow for wages" How much do you get day?' asked the king.
 Eight groschcn," (about twenty cents, said the farmer.
 "This is not much," replied the king; "can you get along with this?"
 Get alongSand have something left"
 How is that?'
 The farmer smiled, and said:
 Well, if must tell you two groschen are for myself and wife; two pay my old debts; two l lend away; and two 1 give for the Lords sake"
 This is mystery which cannot solve" /" replied the king.
 "Then will solve it for you," said the farmer:
 Il have two old parents at home, who kept me when 1 was weak and needed help, l keep them; this is my debt toward which l pay two groshen day. The thira pair of groschcn, which lend away, I spend for the children, that they may receive Q Chris tian instruction; this will come handy to me and my wife when we get old. With the last two groschen maintain two sick sis. ters, whom would not be compelled to keep-this l give for the Lords sake."
 The king, we'll pleased with this answer, said: Bravcly spoken, old man! Now I will give you something to guess. Have you ev CT seen me before?" "Never," said the farmer.
 In less than five minutes you shall see me fifty times, and carry in your pocket if ty of my likenesses."
 This is riddle which I cannot unrav- el," said the farmer.
 Then will do it for you," replied tn, king.
 Thrustng his hand into his pocket, anl counting him fifty new gold pieces into hi hand, stamped with his royal highness, h, said to the astonished farmer, who knew no what was coming, "Thc coin is also genuine for 1t also comes from our Lord God, and am bis paymaster"

LITCHFIELD, CONN, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1860.

"Now, Mir. Carmen, may beg you t, examine this ring?" and handed him tn, one he had lost.
 "It is miue." he replied, with evident as tonishment.
 "You identify the ring, do you, sir?'
 "I do."
 "That is all, sir. May it please your hon or, shall bring but one witness for the de fence. Will MT. Graham take the stand?n
 Mir. Graham took the stal.d. showed him the ring.
 Have you ever seen this ring before?'
 "I have"
 "state to the court what you know about it."
 MT. Graham proceeded to say that he was jeweler, that the ring was left at his shop three weeks before by an elderly gen. tleman, to have the stone reset.
 :" Is the gentleman in the court room?" l asked.
 He is. There he sits;" and he pointed to MT. Carmen.
 The court was astonished; the officers were astonislled; and Mr. Carmen was over. whelmed with confusion He acknowledged his error, when there was no possibility of concealing it. He asked to correct his tes. timony, and did so.
 Mir. Carmen was very absent-minded man; and the solution of the whole matter is. that he forgot all the circumstances connect ed with the ring. He intended to have sent Phillip to the jewellers with it, and ac- tually called for that purpose; but his atten- llon was distracted by something else, and he thought no more about it. On his way home to dinner, while his mind was complete y absorbed by an important business opera ton, he had left the ring at Mir. Graham's. The impression that he had given the ring to Phillip, and directed him to carry it to Jones, Low & Balls was fastened upon his mind. He remembered the fact of calling him, and his intention became reality.
 When thus corncred, he amused the judge with several other instances of absent-mind- edncss of which he had been guilty, in this manner explaining the gross mistake he had madc
 l must do him the justice to say that he made Phillip ample amends in the shape of 8 hundred dollar bill for the trouble he had caused him; but l believe that Mir. Carmen hated me to the day of his death I can only say should not have punished him so severely, if he had treated me like gentle man.

PRINCE ALFRED UNDER DIscIPIINE-The United Service Gazette says that Prince AL fred is being brought up in the service pre- csely the same as if he were the son of pri- vate gentleman.
 "He messcs with the midshipmen, keeps his regular watch, dimes occasionally in the ward-room, and takes his turn to dine with the captain. He is treated by his mess mates as, in all respects, one of themselves is called to order by the caterer, and runs the same risk or being made the subject of practical joke as any other young gentleman himself, however, being generally pretty for ward in the business of playful mischief Up on one question, that of smoking, the young prince is sternly denied the privilege indulg- ed in by other officers. That growing vice of the age, most mischievous in it's conse- quences, particularly when carried to excess and which always runs to excess, is prohib- ited as far us Prince Alfred is concerned, and upon one occasion, We believe, his roy al highness had his leave stopped for fort night for being detected i, the act of 'blow- ing cloud.'
 THE PRINCE OF WALES A PR1soNER.- Considerable amusement has been afforded at Oxford through the eccentric conduct of knight of the blow, named Hedges, Ca rough litigious fellow. who bullied and re- sisted the Oxford City Council, and would not pay the ancient "thoroug gh toll," known under the sobriquet of "Lord Chief-J Justicc Burus." It appears his royal highness, the Prince of Wales, in company with Colonel Keppcll, Equery in Waiting, Mr. Herbert Fisher, private tutor to his royal higbness, Earl Brownlow, Sir Frederick Johnstone, Bart, H. Le Marchant, Esq, H. Chaplin. Esq, H. Taylor, Esq, etc., went out with the South Oxfordshire hounds on Friday last; but, meeting with indifferent sport, the royal party, on their return to Oxford, de termined on ride across the country. Not being acquainted with the locality, they made their way across the lands of farmer Hedges, at Barton, and, without being aware of the temper of the sturdy farmer rode into the farm.yard. Farmer Hedges with his usual regard for trespassers, imme diately closed his gates on the iIlustrious party, and levied a fine of a sovereign fol damages, enforcing the demand with an inti nation that none of them should leave unti he had pockered the amount. The party d
 first imagined that when Hedges was nc quainted with the names of bis visitors. h, would at once have claimed the royal elem

 "Rome is going from bad to worse in re-
 spect to the honesty of it's inhabitants. If
 it was not before, it is rapidly becoming a
 den of thieves It may seem strange lan-
 guage to use, but the expression is justified
 by the actual condition of things. Robberies
 are becoming common in open day and in the
 most frequented streets of the city. l can-
 not tell how many cases of watch-snatching
 and pocket-picking have been reported with in the past few days. The sufferers are usu- ally foreigners. St. Peters, on days of cere-
 mony, is the great theater where the knights and professors of the art of tbieying perform their most brilliant exploits. While you are listening to the music of a mass by Jomelli, you are relieved of your purse or your silver tebacco-box. One of the most daring cases of highway robbery was practiced upon Mir. J. P. Hazard of Rhode Island, within the past week. Mir. Hazard was returning to his hotel, between five and six o'clock in the evening, when he was set upon by three men at the corner of the Corso and the Via Con-
 dotti, and his valuable gold watch snatched from his pocket. MT. Hazard, being pow erful, resolute man, and not disposed to be robbed of his property in open day, gave bat. tie to his assailants. He succeeded in seiz- ing and holding on to two of the scoundrels for some minutes, determined to make sure if possible, of the one who held the watch. He did not succeed, however, and all three es. capped. Although it was broad daylight, and the scufae was witnessed by scores of people passing in the street, not the slight est assistance was rendered. At the police office Mr. Hazard has received little encour. agement of being able to recover his proper ty. There and elsewhere, he has been told that the reason no assistance was offered in his struggle with the miscreants, was fear of Q thrust with their knives. But 0 worse case than that of Mr. Hazard has been re- ported. At six o'clock in the morning, a few days since, some English people were driving from the hotel where they had been staying to the railway station. When near the Do- ria Palace, in the Corso, an attack was made upon the party by gang of robbers with the intention of despoing them of what valu- ables they had about their persons. But among the other treasures, one of the com.. pany happened to be furnished with six barrelled revolver by skillful use of which two of the villains were brought to the ground, and their bodies, in bleeding, ifnot dying, condition, were borne to their com pahions from the field. Our minister, MT. Stockton, from the windows of the palace where he is lodged-which stands by the side of the Doria-was witness of the whole From such examples, one would naturally conclude that Rome was rapidly failing into the condition in which it found itself in the time of the Orsini and the Savelli, in the sadly disordered middle sges"

THE MISERABLE STATE OF RoME.-Ac- cording to all the accounts of unprejudiced witnesses, the holy city was never in worse state than at the present time. The govern meDt is powerless for the protection of the people, and strong only for the repression of popular complaints. Violence and robbery occur in the streets in the open day, and all the social and ecclesiastical signs indicate in- stitntions in state of corruption and decay. A correspondent of the Providence Journal gives the following account of the state of things:
 A more humiiating and hopeless condi- tion than that in which the people of Rome find themselves it is not easy to fancy. A government of priests, three or four hundred years back, was bad enough, but govern ment of priests in this advanced nineteenth century, and such government as that of Rome, is not to be thought of with patience. If men here went about with gags in their mouths or yokes about their necks, and chains upon their ankles, they would not be in a condition of more complete servitude than at present. The espionage kept up by the government is thing extremely annoy- iIIS sO iOciSHcIo, duu HOW uuCI mOIc luuSt the poor Romans feel its inconvenience. The policemen are everywhere seen in threes and fours, as if they would protect themselves and not others against possible attacks. At night the streets are nearly deserted by eight o'clock. There is great amount of general destitution, and the suffering among native artists and aTtizans is extreme The great falling off in the number of foreign visitors the present season--kept away principally by the uncertain state of the country-has been the principal cause of this. There have been only few thousand visitors this year, while last year-attracted not less by the magnet of society of foreign princes-they were reckoned in tens of thousands. The Roman: are too much dependent upon foreigners fol their subsistence. and now and then are re minded of it in way which they feel Rome is a desert,' is the constant cry o the Romans. We are dying of starvation they exclaim, and our rulers will do nothing to ameliorate the present condition of things The cost of the necessaries of life is extrava gantly high, made so principally by the taxe
 levied to pay for the gliding on the priests garments. But this gliding continues to D.
 laid on, and the wardrobe of the Madonna
 every year richer than ever in gold trim
 mings, jewels and pearls. Under thls sys

taining the future King of England, he re-
 marked, "Prince or no Prince, I'll have my
 money" The astonishment of the Princes retinue may we'll be imagined, but being mounted and encompassed by stone-walls, they were compelled to yield to the inexora- ble farmer, who, added to an ''amiable" dis position, is possessed of 6 powerful frame, and on the occasion in question was armed with dung-fork, the emblem of his calling The royal party, although somewhat annoy ed at their detention and the obstinacy of the farmer, made the best of the joke, the Prince above the rest being much amused at the turn matters had taken.

MORE PRESIDENTIAL CoRREsPoNpENcE.-- The disclosures before the Covode investiga- ting committee make Mir. Buchanan promi- nent in the character of great party fu- gler, instead of president of the republic. Since the publication of the Walker letter, James c. Vandyke of Philadelphia, whom Mr. Buchanan removed from the office of district attorney, because he would not CO., operate with the tools of the administration in their party maneuvers to manufacture public opinion in Pennsylvania, has been be- fore the committee, and has produced the correspondence between the president and himself. The president appears in this case in the real Pecksniffian character and does it to the life. He pretended to remove MT. Vandyke because the latter was on such terms with tho collector at Philadelphia that the two could hold no official inter- course. MT. Vandyke exposes this subter. fuge, and states that his disagreement with the collector did not prevent their official in- tercourse, and that the president had al- ready been informed on that point. and that the disagreement was wholly on the matter of managing the party campaign. Mir. Vandyke thought that combination of the federal office-holjers to control the democrat ic party of Pennsylvania, was not demo- cratic operation. The president thought otherwise, and therefore removed MT Van- dyke from office But he had not the conr- age to give the true reason, and SO alleged what MT. Vandyke asserts he must have known to be false. This is melancholy and humiliating, and it is quite time these expo sures should stop. No further damage can be done to MT. Buchanan's reputation, but he is the president, and the character of the country is compromised by these disclosures. Henceforth let us
