Fugitive Slave Case at Chicago.
CHIcAoo, Wednesday, April 3,

CHICAGO, Wednesday, ApTlI D, IoUI'
A colored man named Harris, with his wife and two
children, was arrested here this morning, on war
rant issued by United States Commissioner ConDeau,
and sent by special train TO Springfield where they
will be examined tomorrow. The man is claimed by
Mr. Patterson Of St. Louis County Mo-, and the
woman and child en- by Mr.. Vail Of the same county,
whence they escaped.
AS it almost entirely unknown that warrants
were issued they executed with little diculty
but after the affair became known, the most intense
excitement prevailed among the coOred portion Of the
community, and large numbers gathered at the depot
at the time the regular morning train Left the crowd
upposing the fugtves to be on board. One or two
shOts were fired at the train Beyond this there was
no disturbance.

RUMORS FROM FORT PICKENS.
REPORTED COLLISION.
epecisl Dipstoh 10 The N. Y. Tribune.

Special Dtspstch 10 The N l. IIioun~
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, April s. 1861.
The city has been rife with rumors all day
concerning reported collision at Fort fickens'
No official intelligence has reached here ana no
information of any sort relating to 1t Is In pos
session of the President or Cabinet.
The messenger who bore the order TO iand inc
troops from the Brooklyn at Fort Pickens went
by sea- and has not yet been heard from. Inc
impression obtains in official circles that ne
started for Key West, from which place the last
reports of his presence come, before he arrived
at Pensacola. That, however, is merely specu'
lative opinion, and may be erroneous.
The Cabinet were in session three hours this
morning upon Fort Sumter, without reaching
q positive result Gen. Scott was before them.
They determined for the first time upon regular
Cabinet meetings, which will be held Oh Tuesday
and Friday of every week at noon.

The decision of the Secretary Of the Treasury in re-
jectng all ids for the loan under "a has caused great
disappointment among bidders. They allege the ad.
verisement gave no such direction. Had the entire
S. 000, 900 been awarded the average would have
been 93I. The Secretary has concluded TO issue
Treasury notes for the remaining g. 900, 900.
Minister Clay was on Monday disconnected from
the Peruvian mission, as the Government evidently

tion which suspended diplomatic relations between

1t is ascertained that the French consuls in the Con-
federate States have received instructions direct from
France instead of through the Resident Minister here,
in relation TO the facitation Of Southern commerce
with that Empire.
Although no official notification Of the coming Of
French and English fleets has been received here,
gentlemen prominent positions are satisfied that
their movements i'll close connection with the oo-
serva ion Of Southern political events.
The continued presence OF Major Ben Mccullough IN

r,,pRoyrNG RARLRm RIVER.

For the past forty years, the Improvement Of the
Harlem River, and the union Of the East River
with the Hudson, by canal across the upper
end of the island, has been o favOrite project
with the property-owners in that vicinity. In
order TO make the Harlem River nayigable, large
sums of money have been lavished upon it by the
City and State, from time to time; but thus lar,
instead Of opening it up to commerce, 1t appears
TO have resulted only in the establishment OF line
of pleasure steamboats, to High Bridge. A bill has
recently been introduced in the State Senate,
comforting upon the Supervisors of this county
power 10 appoint a Commission to locate and
build canal to connect the North and East
Rivers, and to dredge the Harlem River and
make it nsvigable, the necessary expense to DO
borne by the county. To carry on this work the
issue of 100000 worth Of bonds ia to be au-
thorzed. The Commissioners are to have
large annual salary for five years, the appoint
ment of Surveyors and Engineers at hoerai
salaries, and the contracting OF the work.
This measure is one which will bear good deal
of scrutiny. SO far as we can learn, the OILY
persons interested in it are the )audhOderi along
the line of the canal, the i ard of Supervisors,
and the Hon. J. Mcleod Murphy, who, having
heretofore been engaged in dredging Harlem
River, and finding it profitable, would no doubt
be pleased TO continue at the work. This canal
would run through and benefit private property
only. For the purposes of general co nmerce, it
would be Of little or no value, as the Eastern
coasters and North River schOOners would be
, unable to use it under sail, on account of the
narrowness of the channel and the rapidity of
the currents Its chief value would be-and that
is the idea of its probe tOrs-to concentrate at
the upper part of the island the grain, flour, and
lumber interests, and thus increase the value OF
their property by millions. The projected work
would cost at least one million of dollars, If not
more, to complete it; and whether this great
expense, and the saddliDg of an army of Engi-
neers and Commissioners upon the county for
the next five years, should be borne BY the pub
lie at large when the benefit viii be chiefly, If
not entirely local, may well be questioned.

Every one understands the dangers attendant
upon the use of Camphene, Burning Fluid, Rosin
Oil, and kindred illuminating fluids; and if peo-
pie use them, they do 90 with full knowledge
of the consequences which may follow. We are
not sure, therefore, that the Legislature were
wrong in refusing to prohibit their sale for such
purposes. But, with Kerosene OIL, the case is
different. This oil, in its pure state, is free
from explosive or dangerous properties aud, al
fording at the same time a superior light, 1t 10
much sought after. Inscriptions dealers have
therefore been tempted to adulterate it with
fusil oil, camphene, and other substances of
cheaper kind the product being highly danger
GUS compound, exploding without warning, and
scattering liquid FIRE all around. Several cases,
as our columns will testify, have recently occurred,
In which those who had been made victims of
the cupidity of these vendors of adulterated
Kerosene, have lost their lives while others
have been horribly burned, and will carry upon
their features through life the terrible traces of
fire. Once begun, it is not 10 be expected that
this pernicious practice will be discontinued, I'M
less the Legislature should interfere to protect
the public. Let the adulteratiOn Of Kerosene be
made misdemeanor, punishable by fine aud i'm
prisOnment, and make the destruction Of human
life by its agency manslaughter. Do this, and
the public may once more use it without fear OF
being blown up or burned to death by its coun-
terfeit
