FREE NEGROES IN FREE SrATEs.-Petitions
Of which the following is a copy, are now iu
circulation in Western Pennsylvania, for pre-
sen tation to the Legislature of that State:
'Your petitioners humbly represent that
the rapid growth Of the free negro population
by immigration, within brief period, is not
only burden to your petitioners, by increas-
ing demands on our poor fund, but owing to
their great Incidence and dissipation. they
have filled our prisons, thus increasing our
taxes to an enormous extent. The recent raid
at Harper's Ferry will resultin stringent laws
by the Southern STATES for the expulsion OF
free negroes from their limits; So we must
shortly have thousands more of those unfortu-
in the decline Of life, or otherwise iucapacitaed
for lahnr. The exigency calls upon your hon.
orable body to adopt some measure 70 prevent
,,n increase of our ALREADY burdened condition
II your honorable body has not the power to
prevent their emigration to this State, we
would prefer a slave code.'

PROTECTION OF LIFE FROM F1Rx-Our New

PROTECTION OF LIFE FROM FIRE.-Our New
York contemporaries, warned by the recent Ia
tai Elm street tragedy, favor q legislative
enactment, rendering it obligatory that ali
tenant houses erected in the future should be
made completely fre-proof; with iron beams,
cement floors. iron siairways, aud every other
necessary to render the building eatirsIy safe
from FIRE. And, As for the tenant houses now
in existence, the owners of them should be re.
qnlred, under heavy penalty. TO furnish them
with iron stairways throughout, AID to build
iron balconies and stairways on the outside,
communicating with every landing, SO tral
every inhabitant may have u chance TO escape
with life In case of fire. They also recommend
the fire escapes, proved SO useful in London,
with an abundant supply Of them in good Or
der. These precautions, with u copious sup
ply OF water in the buildings, would partially
overcome the objections that must always he
raised against tenant houses as safe places ol
residence. The City Councils of New York
are also appealed TO for restrictive municipal
regulations, as well as The Legislature 0: the
