TRENTON, n. j., March "A.
The Governor to-day sent to the Legislature
4 message relative to the bill now before Con-
gress, authorizing the Raritan Bay Railroad
and other railroads to transport freight and
passengers across the State, anything in the
laws of the State to the contrary nothwith-
standing. Resolutions were referred to COM
mittees of both Houses, who made unani-
nous report, protesting against the passage
of the bill before Congress, because it pro-
posed TO divest the State of its local jurisdic-
ton within its own limits, and would be a
wanton insult to the dignity of the State. A
copy of the resolutions are directed to be for
warded TO the members of Congress and Sem
ators from New Jersey, and they are request
ed to use all the exertions in their power TO
prevent the passage of the bill.

STEAMER FOR SOUTH AMERIcA.-A com
mittee to purchase new Fire Engine for the
city of Santiago, South America, visited this
city yesterday, and ordered one of the john
eon I'd class machines Of the Portland Com
pany, at an expense of s4l0C. 1t will be
called the "Orieuter," and will be similar to
the Casco, but very highly finished. This is
the first steamer ever ordered for South
America. The committee had visited other
manufactures, and had received proposals for
engines at less figure, but they decided that
the superior quality of the Portland Co.'s ma
chine would justify the additional cost. 1t
will be recollected that Santiago is the city
where the fearful tragedy occurred few
months since, by the burning of a church
crowded W.T. people on a festive occasion.

cooked it. Floyd was near enough to knock
it aside and seize the fellow by the throat
He was then conveyed to the lookup. His

the pistol was loaded with balls. He will be
conveyed to Belfast for examination.

FIREs.-About II o'clock last night an
alarm Of fire was sounded for District 8. 1t
proved TO be one Of the barracks at Camp
Berry, which we understand was burned
down.
Most of the engines had gone to the 9th
district, when fire broke out in the wooden
building, No. l52 Commercial street, owned
by John Sweeney. and occupied by him as a
liquor shop and dwelling. The fire original
ed in the back part Of the building and the
family barely escaped. A small portion of
1he furniture was saved. Ellsworth engine
(eandl was the only machine present to oper-
ate, the others having gone to the other fire.
The exertions of this company kept the fire
from spreading until the arrival of the steam
er CASIO, when the flames we're quickly sub
dned. The building was ruined. No insur-
ance.
The deL,y in ringing the district alarm on
St. Stephens Church was occasioned by the
breaking Oh the connecting wire with the
bell.

RoBBERY.-The office of the Treasurer of
the Kennebec and Portland Railroad in Au-
gusta, was broken into on Wednesday night,
and about twelve hundred dollars stolen.
The thieves effected en- entrance into the
room by easy means as the building is an old
one. They then blew the door off the safe,
with powder, and stole the sum named. The
wreck was complete-the safe being a good
deal used up. No arrests have yet been made,
though tie officers are on the alert. The sur
prise is very great in Augusta-as no such
audacious act has stirred its people up, since
the audacious robbery Of the Augusta Bank.
