In the House, Thursday afternoon, the sub
ject of controversy between the Boston and
Worcester and the Western railroads was con
sidered. The important section of the bill, as
it finally passed its third reading, is as fol-
lows -

TO fix the rate of reasonable compensation to one
railroad corporation TOR drawing over its road the
passengers merchandise, and cars of another rail
road corporation and for the of depot accom-
modations including the receipt and delivery of
passengers and merchandise, and the apportionng
the cost and expenses of business in which such cor
poration may be Jointly interested pursuant to the
act of eighteen hundred and forty five chapter one
hundred and ninety-one, and the act of eighteen
hundred and fifty-seyen, chapter two hundred and
ninety-one, shall execute that duty by prescribing
such uniform rate for each passenger, and each ton
of freight carried to and from the several stations
of the road over which the shall thus be drawn
will amount to a reasonable compensation to the
corporation performing such service; the said rate
of compensation not to be increased diminished
by the distance which the freight passenger may
have been transported over the road of the other
corporation.

Largo Fire in Missouri

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, March 20, "a. NJ
A fire broke out here at about ii o'clock last
night, which thus far has consumed nearly the
whole south side Of the city Should the wind
continue on the increase, it is feared the west
side will also be destroyed. Among the build
ings burned are Independence Hotel two drug
stores, ten or twelve business houses, and sew
eral dwellings. The loss thus far cannot be
less than $780, 900, and the fire is still raging.
Second DiSpatch.-The fire OF last night broke
out in the drug store of James Beckham, and
in spite of all eXertion to stop it, it progressed
until it destroy ed every house on the east side
of the public square, and several dwellings in
its immediate vicinity. The wind was blow.
ing gale at the time and large flakes of fire
were carried halt mile, several times setting
fire to houses at that distance from the confla-
grafton AT least twenty substantial buildings
were burned Probable loss, $4,000.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The documents
sent into the Senate to day, by the president,
embrace the instructions Of the navy depart
ment to Capt Jarvis, under date of July 9th,
1858. He is informed that the ship of war
Savannah has been prepared for service in the
home squadron, and he is directed to proceed
with her to San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua.
"You will at all times" the secretary adds,
"afford protection to citizens of the United
States, and their property, and should occasion
arise, protect any vessels of the United States
from search or detention on the high seas by
armed ships Of any other powers" The fol-
lowing letter from the secretary to Capt. Jar
Wis, had not reached him at the time of the
capture of Miramon's steamers =
NAVY DEPARTMENT, March 13, 1860.
Sir-With a view to afford the protection
due our citizens at Vera Cruz, the president
has directed Hon r. McLane, should hostile
force approach that place, and he should con-
slider American citizens there in danger from
its operations, to request the commanding Off
Ger Of the United States vessels of war on that
coast, to land such forces as may be needed
and can be spared from indispensable duties,
and to employ them for the protection of our
citizens, whose property he may believe to be
in danger. Should Mr.. McLane therefore
make of you, as senior commanding officer,
the request which his Instructions authorize
linn to do, you will promptly comply with it.
Statements having been made which lead to
the belief that arrangements are making by
| what is known as the Miramon government of
Mexico to establish blockade at Vera Cruz
and other ports on the Gulf, the president has
decided that no surh blockade will be recog-
nized by the United States government. You
are therefore directed to employ the naval
forces under your command to afford Ameri-
lean vessels free ingress and egress at all Mex
lean ports, and fully to protect them. The
same orders were sent to Capt Fawagut, com.
manding the Brooklyn, and commanders Tur-
ner, Jenkins, and Hazard, respectively com.
handing the Saratoga, Preble, and Pocahon-
tas."
On communicating the documents relative
to the course of Capt. Jarvis and Turner, in
the seizure of the Miramon steamers, the sec
rotary adds that the government approves of
the conduct OF both these gallant officers, and
the men under their command.

! cision was rendered, Fifth street. in the neigh
borhood of the court room was thronged with
colored people, but no disturbance took place
until the officers made their appearance with
the negro, and attempted to place him in a
carriage to be conveyed to the county prison.
This excited the mob, and rush was made
upon the vehicle. The police, who were sta
toned along Fifth street in force, succeeded in
keeping the crowd back while the prisoner
was seated in the carriage but so soon as the
driver started towards Chestnut street, the
horses were seized and forced upon the pave
ment.
Again the police drove the mob back, but the
rioters rallied, and as the carriage turned into
Chestnut street, the horses were again stopped
and driven on to the sidewalk Then ensued
scene of wild confusion, lasting for several
minutes. The pole of the carriage was broken
and the horses became unmanageable.. The
police officers singled out the ringeaders of the
mob, and in attempting to arrest them, some
severe blows were inflicted upon the heads of
the negroes, who seemed infatuated and deter
mined to rescue the fugitive, Ten of the
crowd (eolored) were arrested and locked up
in the central station.
This had the effect of cowing the mob, and
SO soon as another carriage could be procured,
Moses, still guarded by the United States De
putty Marshals, was carried to prison and there
lodoed -

The RAILROAD CONTROVERSY between the
Boston and Worcester and the Western is
becoming one of some interest to the state.
IL mas led the latter road to get bill before
the House of Representatives to help it in its
quarrel, although ii is, apparently, of general
nature This bill has passed its third read
ing 1t would compel commissioners who
may be appointed hereafter, to establish "uni-
form rates" the practical results of which we
nave, IN part, stated heretofore, instead OF
leaving them to give to each road its Gust
share" as the law now does.
We are of those who think that practical
men, of the high character of those who have
been and will be appointed to act as commits
sioners, may surely be trusted to decide in
what way each shall get its just share, whether
by uniform rate or otherwise. In their
hands, under the jurisdiction of our Supreme
Court, and in the exercise of the discretion
they now have, we shall be far more likely to
have substantial justice to both roads, and all
roads, than is possible under the restrictions
of this BILL
The principal reason urged in its behalf is,
that the award already rendered did not do
justice to the Western road. Now, if this
were so, it need not continue in force but one
year, if the dissatisfied party can then give
good reasons to the court for the appointment
of new set of commissioners, before whom
would come all the questions in dispute. But
our readers may be surprised to hear that the
Boston road has offered to set aside the award
aud go with their cause before other arbitrat-
ors. In the report just made by the directors
of the Boston road to their stockholders, we
find proposition was made in December,
1858, that if the Western road would Settle
all accounts between the two roads, under the
award of the commissioners, then if you 1.-THE
Western road) wish by mutual agreement to
set the award aside for the future, we will en-
ter into an arrangement to do So and meet
you at any time or place, to make new con.
tract" This was signed by the president of
the Boston road and addressed to the presi-
dent of the Western road 1t was declined, as
the repeated offers to leave all to arbitrators
had been, whenever offered.
What effrontery that must be, which, after
refusing such an offer as that-one that if ac.
cepted, would have ended the award by mutual
consent-now holds up that award as a reason
for further legislation 1t geve the opportun
iy however for the Worcester road to show its
confidence in its course by its willingness then
anu now, again to go into it before any impair
tial tribunal
we cannot believe our legislature will inter-
iere unless it be from great misapprehension
OF the facts involved.
