LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY: THURSDAY MORNING-, FEBRUARY 10, 1859. NUMBER 35. BUSINESS OAKDS. LOUISVILLE COURIER N- Y. ADVERTISEMENTS.

DAILY COURIER. Tehrible Taxation: The Solomon of tho Louisville Journal speaks exultingly of the contrast between taxation in Know Nothing Louisville and Democratic New York, in which latter city he says $8 are collected for every inhabitant. We must inform the editor that, accordingto the report ofthe Auditor, thero into the treasury of this city last year, by the tax-payers, the good round sum of 26. Will the editor inform us how much this is per head for every man woman, child, and nigger in Louisville? Don't it beat New York? We havejonly to suggest that would require a population of nearly 74,000 to make 58 per head for every soul in this city, equal to the sum reported by the Auditor as having been paid into the treasury of this city last year. Fined.

Thos. Haydon was fined 10 in the Correspondence of the Louisville Courier. The Ashiaud District Thos. P. Porter.

Henry County, Feb. 7. jLdilon Louisville Courier: I see through the columns of your valuabJe paper that Hon. James B. Clay has declined the canvass for the next Congress.

I hope he will reconside the matter, and consent to obey the voice of his constituents, and return to Congress, whore the people of Kentucky and tqe South need his services. He surely will not refuse. If it should so turn out that Mr. Clay cannot make the race, I have been casting about to find the man to fill his place in Conzress! That man is Thomas P. Porter, of Woodford.

I have ever looked upon his triumph over A. K. Marshall as the most splendid victory that was achieved in the summer of '57 in the State. In the winter of '57-58 I became acquainted with Thomas P. Porter, and I soon became satisfied that his masterly efforts in the Senate upon debatable questions have given him the position over Marshall in the State Senaie.

The Senate will feel the loss of his services, as will the State, should the Democracy ofthe Ashland District conclude to send him to Congress, where his powerful mind will have more room to expand. I hope the Deotocracy of the Ashland District will pardon me for the liberty I have taken, for by discussion and a free interchange of sentiment, truth is seen and error exposed. I do not know that Hon. Thomas P.Porter desires or would consent to make the race for Congress, but from my knowledge of the mau as debator, his gentlemanly bearing, high sense of honor, and courteous demeanor, I thiuk there are few men who combine so many qualities to make a successful campaign as Thomas P. Porter.

CAT0. Forthe Courier Kentucky River Navigation Company. At a meeting of the Corporators of ihe Kentucky River Navigation Company, held at the court house in Lexington, on Friday, the Sth, 1859, Judge R. C. Graves, of Woodford county, was unanimously elected chairman, and George Stealey, of the city of Louisville, secretary.

'he meeting was then culled to order, aud its object briefly stated by the chair. Gen. Leslie Combs, "Judge W. C. Goodloe, and Judge Daniel Breck, advocated their views of the importance, necessity aud value of the proposed improvement of the Kentacky river.

When, on motion of Judee Goodloe, the follow Shocking Affair." A telegraphic dispatch announced that four persons, viz: Mrs. Gill, her two children and a servant, were suffocated, and several injured, by a fire in New York City, ou Sunday. The Times of Monday snys: The fire was first discovered soon after 3 o'clock iu the morninc, by some person passing in Ihe street. Mr. Thos.

Gill was fhe'first one in the house who discovered the fire. Ho immediately aroused his companion and save the alarm. The inmates all rushed to the stairway, but found their retr at cut.olf by the fire in this direction; they could not even descend to the second storv. In the excitemeut of tbe moment all entered Sirs. Gill's room.

llv. Gill took several blankets and tied them together, and, fastening one end, threw the other out of the window, and lowered himself down, when he missed his hold and fell to the frozen ground below. In his fall his hesd came in contact with an iron fence, and he received a severe scalp wonud. He was followed bv Sir. Graves, who also fell a nortionof the distance and sprained his uncles.

One of the sisters (Keegan) went to the back room about this time, and with some kiud of a string lowered herself out ofthe back window. Tne cord was not long enough to reach the ground, ard she hung suspended iu this position until the uightcapon her head caught fire, when she let go her hold and fell into the vard. One thigh and one arm were broken by the fall, and she received other injuries. What we have related thus far transpired within p. few minutes.

Mrs. Giii about this time was seen at the window imploring for help. The blanket rope still huu out of the window, but she could not be induced to take hold of it. A fireman at this time seized hold of it, and giving a 'slight jerk, it broke loose. Mrs.

Gill was then, urged to throw out bed and jump upon it. Rut she soon disappeared. By this time Hose Company No. 3, and Engine Company No. 16 had streams of water unon the fire, and it was soon extinguished.

As soon as it was possible to reach the third story Mrs. GiU was found in a sitting position, near" the window of her room, with her arms claspine her two children. Near them was the girl Keean. They were but little burned, and a coroner's jury bus rendered a verdict that all died from suffocation, The origin of this fire is wrapped in mystery. Hohri3le Matricide.

One ofthe most shocking and unnatural crimes which has disgraced our city since the Gouldy butchery, was enacted in Elizabeth street this morning. A young woman attacked her mother with an axe, which she buried in her skull, for the purpose of obtaining the paltry sum of fifty-five dollars. Otficer Wade, of the Fourteenth Ward, was patrolling his beat about half-past live this morning, wheu he heard the cry of murder, followed by stifled groans. He rushed into the house from whence the cries proceeded, No. 251 Elizabeth street, in the rear, and saw an aed colored woman lying on the floor covered with blood and an axe buried in her skull.

A young woman was standing over her, who had been stifling her groans with bed-clothes. Medical assistance was immediately called and the young woman arrested. She wascouveyed to the Essex market prison, and gave the name of Anna Maria Bosley Cnjay. She confessed the crime. S.

Bach's dry goods store, on ilarket street, and the alarm of fire twas The family slfeep in ihe back part of the but they were up at the time, and the firs they knew oi tie Manger wag the knocking at ihe front door. They dressed hastily and removed to a place of safety. The fire engines were the fire ia a few minutes, anil poured ouch a volume of water into the eel lar that the fire could make no headway, and was soon extinguished. Water to the depth of four or hve teet, thrown irom tne enginesianow the cellar. Some water was forced iota the store room, by which considerable damage was done to the stock.

Mr. Bach estimated his stock at and it is probably damaged io the extent of $2000 or up wards. -He is insured in the Mesgr4. Tyler's agency the Delaware we believe" io the full amount. Mr.

Bach was about moving from his present store to engage in business with Bach Horzog, on Main street. It is not known how the fire originated. The efficiency of the fire engines were ully tested upon this occasion With hand engines the building and its contents would certainly have been destroyed, and perhaps those adjoining. The hre engines were on the spot in less than ten minutes, and the exeat quantity of water they poured on the fltjmes soon subdued it. New Albany Salem Railroad.

No railroad in the West, at this time, is more complete in those arrangements whicn combine comfort, safe ty, and punctuality, than the New Albany and Salem Railroad. A few years since, while laboring under those difficulties which haveattended nearly every project of the kind io the CQuntry, this road did not occupy a favorable position in public esteem. But under the new regiijie, so perfect has been its management generally, and its operations in detail, that it now entirely commands the confidence of the traveling public. Mr. R.

E. Ricker, the Superintendent, is a Ko. I officer, and he employs those only whose habits, skill, and competency are beyond cavil, and hence the rarity of accidents of magnitudeou the road. It is in fact in many respects ajailroad that some others may pattern by; and to these things, in a measure, may be attributed its' vast increase of travel within a year past. There are three trains per day, connecting with the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad for St.

Louis and all other points in the West. The agency in this city is at 550 Main street, where Major A. B. Barker, the courteous and efficient agent, will afford all information desired bv traveler. Failing's Arctic Panorama- Aside from the merits of the panorama as a work of art, its greatest charm is in its novelty not that panoramas are by any means uncommon, but because it faithfully portrays a portion of the world which few have ever seen.

Here we have our with all their agreeable variety but here it is winter, stern, cold, cruel winter, all the time. The long and shuddering night whi ch extends over half the year is only relieved by a of equal length, the light of which renders the desolation of the scene more apparent. These moving mountains of ice, though chilling to the touch, sparkle in the eye like mighty diamonds, as they send back all the variegated hues from the gtancing beams of the sun.

The Professor certainly appears to have a rational and comprehensive philosophy of the whole subject, and he proposes to induct ethers into its sublime mysteries. Dr. Stone, who has been a successful.

operator both in this country and Europe, follows the Professor with a- great number and variety of sur prising and humorous experimental illustrations, produced on the minds of total strangers, clearly demonstrating the cardinal principles of the philosophy so clearly set forth in the lectures. Perhaps there is no place where so much instruction and musement are so equally combined as at the Masonic Temple, every night this week. About the Jail.

Dayton, of Maysville, who has made his name famous by his cans for preserving fruits, has just perfected an invention which should immortalize him.

Baltimore, Feb. S. We have this evening the details of the nnwa by the Asia, from which I compile the following summary of European news: ihe rans correspondent ot the Times savs: In spite ofthe less war-like aspect of affairs for two or ihree days past, we are still told that preparations are continued, and that, at the war office here, faw or none breathe a doubt of hostilities in the spring. As the iact ot preparations at Toulon is too potent to be denied, thev are intended, it is said. for Algeri, and China.

The Paris coirespondent of the Daily News has obtained confirmation of the report that the Pope's annuncio has received orders to tell the Emperor that if a cannou is fired in Lombnrdy he will take refuge in Vienna. Accounts from Lombardy still sneak of disaf fection, but of no outbreak. Austrain reinforce ments continue to pour in. A letter Irom Kome of the 7th. states that for two years the Papal Government has been demanding the departure oi the French and Austri- arrmes ot occupation, considering tneir pres ence unnecessarv, and being desirous of reducing the war budgei, which amounts to 11,000,000 francs for 16,060 men, while in Tuscany 17,000 men cost only 8,000,000 francs, the difference being attributed to the troops of occupation.

It is said that Austria will declare a state of siege in the States of the Church. The Journal de Constantinople has published a tranquilizing article. The disturbances in the provinces surrounding Bagdad are reported to have become more serious. In spite of the less warlike aspect of affairs for two or three days past, we are still told that preparations are continued, and that at the war office here, we meantime breathe a doubt of hostilities for spring. But the fact of preparations at Toulon is too patent to be denied.

They are intended also, it is said, for Sengal, Algerian and China. Confidence in the maintainance cf peace appears to be returning slowly and uncertainly. There are some things that would render war improbable, but evidence is conflicting. There is some ground of hope, however, that war is unpopular in France, and I am assured that even the heads of the army are not those who are least opposed to it. A semi-official article in the Constitulionnel, announces the termination of the diplomatic difficulty excited by the projected intervention of Austria in Servian politics.
