One MORE UNFORTUNATE. The Broadway
Railroad bill received its quietus yesterday.
A motion to lay II on the table, instead of send
ing IL to committee, prevailed by nearly two
to one vote. Laying bill on the table by
such vote Is equivalent to slaughtering il in
cold blood, and burying IL az they used to inter
suicides. There are people in this city SUM-
cienily hardhearted to exult in the decease Of
this bantliDg, and 10 make merry over the fact
that Its parents have had all their trouble and
expended their moDey for nothing. The
pubic sentiment Of The metropolis will say
that for once the Legislature has dose good

The BURNING OF THE IMPERIAL PALACES AT
PEKIN.-When the news of the burning of the
summer palaces of the Chinese Emperor at
Pekin was borne across the Atlantic, our first
impulses were those of regret, il not indigna-
ton, that such an outrage should have been
perpetrated by the representatives of q nation
foremost among its compeers in greatness,
and protesting to be so in civilization.
We seemed, as we read, to have
been carried back into barbarous times.
At every line of the narrative we were offended
with the details of the wanton destruction of
that which could never be replaced. Never
was vandalism more outrageous All the mag
niicent mirrors. chase carvings, elaborate pic
lures, historical souvenirs of the empire arti-
cles of uirtu and valuable archives were de-
stroyed by the rude hands of the despoilers, and
then given up to the fury of the flames We
now learn that in the vaults of those summer
palaces all the records Of the empire were deposit
ted, and all these were reduced to ashes by the
fire. Such treasure as had been there held were
of for greater importance to China than the Brit
ish Museum is to England or the world, and the
as Omar's destruction of the Alexandran
library. The archives alluded to have been
frequently referred to by French writer's. who
estimated the national collection in the summer
palaces at Pekin to have been the finest and
most complete in the world. II was therefore
much to be deplored that in this age of compa-
rative enlightenment such an irreparable act Of
vandalism should have occurred We have no
wish to reflect severely upon the conduct of
Lord Elgin in this matter;but We are surprised
that SO eminent man should have had
nc more veneration for art, humanity for the
Chinese, or respect for the good reputation of
his country, than to have ordered the perpetra.
ton of such piece of unmitigated vandalism.
He'had little respect for the Greeks when he
mutilated and removed their ancient marbles
from the land where they ought to have been
allowed to remain, and he had decided con-
tempt for the Chinese when he burnt the impe-
rial collections at Pekin. He has done An in
justice for which he will never have the power
TO atone.

The SECESSION MOVEMENT IN VIRGINA.-Al
fairs in Virginia are rapidly approaching, !
crisis. 1t will be preciptated by the line 0
policy that has been adopted by the Lincol
administration, and it is not impossible tina
he Old Dominion will cast in her lot with th,
Southern confederacy, within a very short pc
Rod. Many have supposed that the State Con
vention, now in session, could scarcely submit
the question of secession to the people before
the fall election. They will not postpone thu
settlement of the question 20 long, If q single
drop Of blood is shed, in consequence of the
coercive proceedings of the government. II
will then come before the people, probably, al
the State election next month. Messrs. William
Ballard Preston, conservative Alexander H
Stuart, Union, and George W Randolph, sece
sionist, were, on Monday, appointed commits
sioners to wait on the President, in order to OBJ
tain definite declaration of his policy. They
arrived in Washington yesterday. They will
see Mr.. Lincoln to-day or tomorrow, and will
insist upon categorical answer to their ques-
tons. II these are evaded, they will 60 home
prepared to declare to the Convention, that
they have interpreted his regeneration and
equivocal responses as meaning hostility and
bloodshed.
The effect of coercive measures towards the
South, will be electric upon the popular mind
in Virginia. Union feeling is we'll nigh
destroyed already; but the reinforcement &C
Fort Pickens, or Of Fort Sumter, will be con.
sidered as belligerent act, which will make
the population unit Then will come the day
Of tribulation and retribuion, for the aboli-
ton government at Washington, which is SO
woiully mismanaging the affairs of the nation.
The capital can no longer remain in the Dis.
trict of Columbia, and the conservative masses
In the North will be forced to pronounce au-
thoritatively, with respect to the tremendous
issues before the country.
