Some hay and other provender were destroyed. The adjoining house, owned by Mr. Hess, whs somewhat injured. The fire was attributed to an incendiary the same place has been fired two or three times before. At this fire we noticed one thing which ought to be suppressed.

The scene of a fire is no place to try the power of an engine, unless it is done to see who can extinguish the flames first. We saw yesterday several companies trying how much water they could waste, and- how much human power could be expended in wasting it, by endeavoring to show that one suction could throw a stream perpendicularly higher than another. We noticed a gentleman with a bulge on his hat, marked U. F. who was active in fixing one of the suctions for the trial.

Now, this is all wrong, and he should have known it. When a fire is extinguished, the labors of the firemen should be considered ended, as indeed they are. These trials only engender ill-feelings and strife and should always be avoided. irinfer Again. On Tuesday night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, we were visited by the first thunder storm of the season, and on yesterday morning "old winter" dropped in upon us with a cold drizzling rain, which at one time bordered very nigh on snow.

In the afternoon, however, the weather cleared off and bright Phccbus once more enlivened us with his beams, and administered such a rebuke to old frostv BALTIMORE. THURSDAY', APRIL. 3. 1848. Postal Affairs.

Congress has been, of late, so ery sedulously engaged in doing positively we Iont know exactly what but we haTe an unde-Jined idea of a ten regiment bill, a Wilmot proviso, a supreme court affair, a French congratulation, and perhaps something else that we have been rather disinclined to call their attention to a subject which we yet hope will prove one of the most brilliant of the session. If wo may presume, however, to suggest a -heme very closely allied with the public convenience, we name that of a cheap and uniform postage for and the repeal of the enactment which exacts a tax of three cents for the transmission of ewspapers any circumstances whatever. These are measures which directly relate to the people, and their importance should entitle them to the early consideration and conclusive action of Congress. There is a Jusitancy about the matter which we are aware can-3iot be hastily denounced; and it is, certainly, a subject upon which diversity of opinion is entitled to all ssiMe respect. The experience with which we are lavored in relation to a very low rate and uniformity postage, is not of such a character as to justify a direct argument therefrom, that the same rate or system could be successfully employed in the United States; but we think it affords tolerably reliable data, from which to infer the practicability oi a correspond ing scheme, modified in any essential details, and adapted to diversity of condition.

That our present system corresponds in any particular so the British, though doubtless suggested by it, we hardly think will fce maintained. Our present arrangement is only a modification of our former one, consisting merely of reduction of price, but failnig altogether in that curative principle which would increase throughout liie whole Union epislatory communication among the people, and thus augment the revenue to an araoui.t commensurate with the expenses of the departineLt. The new system is made up of two things, a minimum and a uniform rate; it combines induce ments with convenience; it creates an object cf general uiterest and facilitates the pursuit of it; r.nd herein is the secret of its success. It will not, ptr. Imps, suddenly manifest its efficiency, but it will ulti mately triumphantly establish it.

It corresponds with the system of the penny press. There are thousands and tens of thousands of people in the United States at this dav, who never contemplated a subscription to and perusal of a newspaper fifteen years ago, who now enjoy that convenience by reason of the inducement which has been held out to them. And it may be fairly assumed that many have learned to lead, in consequence, who were previously altogether indifferent to such an accomplishment. But the tild system had in it na such inducemer.t; the prices inigut have been reduced one half, and the number of subscribers would not have been materially increased. It required a new system.

The lowest rate as a convenience to the purse, and frequent payments, which coni'ituied the facility in this case. Uniformity was tif course inseperable from the arrangement. We advocate a postal system for the United States exactly correspondent with that of Great that it would prove, in the course of a few years, entirely successful. "We have no doubt but it would prove aa ample source of revenue for all the expenditure of the department. The plan of pre-pay-jnent should be established upon the same conditions a3 that cf England, and the whole franking system should be abolished outright; and if this arrangement should be presented to the people, free from ail embarrassing restrictions, we have great confidence that it would prove as successful and efficient as the penny press.

The increase in the number of letters would also warrant a reduction of one half, in the cost of delivery; so that a letter might be sent from one portion of the Union to any other, at a cost of two cents to the wnter and of one cent to the party addressed. The Washixgto Silvk Elopement. It will be seen by the letter of our "Washington correspondent S3 well as by subsequent dispatehes received last evening, that the excitement in that city, relative to the attempted escape of a vessel load of slaves, is increasing rather than diminishing. We hope, however, for the credit of the National metropolis, that reason and law will be allowed full sway, and that no scenes of violence may occur. The Washington Union gives the following account of the capture of the schooner: "Captain Baker promptly closed upon the vessel, Touuded to.

and placed the steamer alongside. The volunteers immediately juataed on board, but found no one on deck, the hatches being all closed. These were guarded, and Daniel Drayton, the supposed and ring-leader of the thieves, was ordered to come up. After some time, and very re-luL-lantiy, he aid so, and was placea under guard. He confessed he was one of the guilty men who had Teccived and concealed the slaves on board the vessel; admitted that he had had interviews with persons who had undertaken to send the slaves on board, but he would not give their names, saying if he did not, and should be convicted, the abolitionists would support his family.

The real captain of the Savers, was then called up, and put under guard, his answers being evasive and unsatisfactory, "l'he third wnite person on board, Chester English, said h-i hid been duped and imposed upon by the other two; he wept bitterly, and protested he had had no part in the criminality of the concern, and seemed willing to teil all he knew. The chief kidnappers tnemseives had admitted he knew nothing of their plans, and had been directed after night to receive the slaves, woo, uiey saia 10 nun, were going aown tne liver on an excursion ot pleasure Ciiester Cottxty Baxk Robbery. The statement of the arrest of the Chester county bank robbers at the recovery of of the money given yesterday by telegraph, orgmated in the Phila delphia Bulletin, which says: "Ou SauJay last, Mr. Mears, Cashier of the Deia ware county Bans of this state, received a lette posl-m irked Matamoras, stating that two men had been arrested that town who were supposed to be concerned in the robbery of Dr. Darlington.

One of the persons arrested, it appears, engaged another to purchase mules, and the payments of the same were made exclusively in Chester county Bans money, i prisoners await the requisition ot the Governor of Pennsylvania." Doubt is thrown upen the story by the Philadelphia Ledger, which says: There is evidently something wrong, as Mr. Mears is not the name of the Cashier of the Delaware county Bank. Frederick J. Hink son 13 the cashier of that institution, and David Townsend is the cashier of the Chester county Bank Tub Great Soctherx Mail. The Washington correspondent of lhe Philadelphia Ledger says, in his le'ler of the 15th: The great Southern railroad line will soon be em ployed again, at the same rate that the Postmaster Genera! offered to pay, and which the company then rereniptoriiV retused The only difficulty in the way of this arrangement consists now in the settlement of the damages, caused by the company to the department, and lor this pur pose, the Richmond company, and the newly got up jwy line, are now in me process ot Honorable ar rangemeut.

Goldsborough, of Baltimore, will com mence the exploration and survey of a route for Railroad between York and the Cumberland Valley in a day or two. This will be good news to the friends of the road, and we hope that an advantage ous roiite may be found without difficulty. Health of the Army. A letter to the New Or leans Crescent, dated Mexico, Feb.

2G, says: "The health of the army, though better than it was a week since, is still far from being g-od. Twenty-six hundred would not cover the list of those now the hospitals and under medical treatment. Our physicians, however, begin to get "the hang" of the diseases, and are much more successful than at The Leonidas Interlineations The New Or leans Delta states that the interlineations in the Leon Idas letter, which Gen.

The following letter, from a mem ber of the Baltimore Battalion, contains some items of interest: Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Jalapa, Mexico, March 29th, 18J3. S.

Ahell Sr Gentlemen: As mv. n'se you would like to hear a little news from the old Baltimore battalion, I sit down this morning to give you some; but there is not much stirring at present. All the talk here is peace, and 1 assure you thatth boys want to get nume again, to see their old acquaintances. The men belonging to our regiment, at present, are enioymsr pretty good health. It is gene rally healthy here, and it is considered one of the Healthiest towns in Mexico, Here is some talk of moving us from here, but whether we will eo un to the City of Mexico, or down to Vera Cruz, is not yet Known; but 1 nope it win not do uown, ior the yellow fever is at Vera Cruz now.

Cant. F. B. Schaeffer has cone to Tamnico. on what business I do not know: I believe he has irot a commission in the regular army.

Lieut, Corcoran is at present in command of his company. The news of the death of the Hon. John Quinov Adams reached here on the 1.7th, andj on the 18th it was communicated to me regiment; uur flag was soon at half-mast, and hung in mourning. Cantain Tiighman's battery were firing all day. Santa Anna is near here, anil has got a pass from Gen.

Butler to leave the country, for Havana; he is exnected to arrive here shortly. Major Kenly and Gov. Hughes still remain in ex cellent health. The boys all call the major the little hull-dog of the regiment. Our company still keep their health, as we have excellent quarters, and we do the thing up brown in the way of drilling.

G. W. T. The annexed letter, from the City of Mexico, doubtless- also contains an item of interest to the friends and relatives of Sergeant Evans: Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. City of Mexico, March 14th, 1S4S.

Messrs. A. S. Abell Co; You will perhaps alle viate the sufferings of one of the most respectable of the families of old Baltimore by giving publicity to these few lines. It has been currently reported that Sergeant W.

H.II. Evans, who left the eoodlv ntv vi jiitinuiiiciuB wini me liir-jaiucu waiter, had died of wounds received in the defence of Puebla: and V. .1.1" I 111 i I knowing that his parents must have received thin in telligence, my object in thus writing is to contradict it. 1 hough very severely wounded, he has liveH to win a brighter name, at the Battle of S-tnnltanan. under our brave and beloved Gen.

H. T. Tint Trial of Gen Pillow. We continue to-day the publication of the report of the trial of General Pillow, which cannot fail commanding a general perusal. A letter dated Mexico, March 26lh, to the Orleans Crescent, says: "The proceedings of the eottrt of inquiry are gain ing rather than losing in interest.

For the oast two uays major jsurns, tne avowed autnor ot "Lieonidas," has been in the witness' seat beore the court. He was introduced by Gen. Pillow for a few minutes to the court, and sii.ee then has undergone the most searching cross-examination from Gen. Scott. From the evidence, you may readily see that the Major is any tiling out comiortauie oeiore tne court Ie savs.

he scarcely knows what. Scott, in this one instance. has shown himself to be as great a lawyer as he is a general, and the complicated questions he puts to the witnesses might well entrap one tar more sagacious At the hour of adjournment the accused looked very much crest-fallen, and as if something had been said during the investigation which he did not look for: Seoit, on the contrary, has lost much of that "discon-solation" spoken of in a previous letter. The first pangs ot mortiheauon are passed, and he looks as one who had a duty to do to the country and the armv. and was now determined to do it." The.

The fire at Albanv. on Saturday evening, of which we had a meagre account, by the telegraph, broke out about 8 o'clock, in a stable, and swept the entire bloek between Moat-gomery, Colonie, Centre, and the lesser Basm.

Western Female High School. The regular ex aminationof the Western Female High School, took piace yesterday, ana to say tnat an present were gra tified, woald be almost praise. At an early hour the room was filled with an audience of ladies and gentlemen, among whom we recognized many wno proiess ueep interest in tne success ot the schools, A noticed nearly the whole board of school com raissioner present, including Messrs. Irelan. Kevser Kemp, Abbett and Toner, the special committee on tne school.

The school numbers one hundred and torty-seven scholars, and is under the instruction Mr. Robert Kerr, principal, and D. A. Holiingshead ana Mrs. K.

t'arker assistants. W. A. Tarbnt- ton has charge of the musical Instruction. The programme for the examination embraced for ty-lhree classes, including the singing classes; of course the time allowed was too short to examine anv class thoroughly, and many classes were cut off en- cntireiy, never being called up.

The classes em braced history, ancient geography, mvthologv. sram mar, astronomy, physiology, modern geography, natural philosophy, uranography, arithmetic, botany, iuju, aiouid, iucw jr mciuiie, llieilllil pnilOSO- phy, political economy the globes, geologv. mine ralogy, chemistry, ke. In all these departments ins youag lames ot ins various classes acauitted them selves admirably, showing that the utmost care had been taKen with them by their teachers. The exercises were interspersed with specimens nf tneir musical pow rs, oy tne school, and by young v.v..;, iy me weii-timed measure of a piano, at which Prof.

Hewitt nre. siiteti; iir. larbutton superintended the music. During the exercises some of the young ladies were called up, and a number of rolls of paper, which had been lying untouched, were opened and read hv them oemg original compositions, specimens ot wrilimr as vrcu as oi composition, nese specimens were high ly creditable. Some of them contained a few errors of no great account: but this was their own work: the teachers allowing them to present them without ine slightest revision, we have many a time seen worse productions from older and more experienced heads.

Of the singing, we cannot speak but in terms of praise, tne execution was all we heard whether ihey understood one key from another, or a minim from a semibreve, was not made apparent, but thev eang ciceeumgiy wen. i ne piano used was irom the manufactory of Newman and was kindly i Miicu tor lue occasion. At the conclusion, Mr. Irelan, one of the commis sioners, briefly addressed the school, expressing hi i auueaiion, ana l.nroauceo one ot the old commissioners, who, he said, would make an address to them. He then named Professor Dunbar, who arose and delivered a fine address.

He took, as the groundwork of his remarks, a sentiment from a composition presented by Miss Clara Allen, on "The Mind," to the effect that in life all the honors of office belong to the men, but the qualifying of them to fill these offices belonged to the women. In other words, that me inotners naa in tne greatest measure the train ing of the minds of their offspring. He enforced this position by various illustrations, and argued that the education of the mothers of the rising generation was of paramount importance, inasmuch as they had the "bending of the twig which would incline the tree." He contended that the United States was now the vanguard of nations in the war of opinion, and only by education could we keep so we were the beacon light on the ocean of self-govern ment, and education was the oil to supply the light witnout it an woutu be aamness. We do not pretend to follow the Doctor his remarks, but that was our understanding of their purport. Mr.

Leloup, one of tne commissioners, also made a very pretty ad iress to the young ladies. Mr. Irelan then stated that the committee on the school had determined to give them a lime houaay, which we understand ends on Mon day evening. A Handsome Present.

Washington, April 19 n) p. M. Ureat Excitement Meeting front of the PaUnt- cice The National Era office to be Removed, kc. The city has been in a most unparalelled state of ex citement since dusk. At about o'clock, not less than three thousand persons had assembled in front of the National Era office, an abolition paper, which has been publisherd here for more than a year past.

Through the efforts of a number of our most popu lar citizens, the assemblage was prevailed on to move the front of the Patent Office, where they are now bang addressed oy ienox, Kadeiiffe, and others. A resolution has been adopted to appoint a commit tee of thirty-five to wait immediately upon the pro prietors of the ISauonal Era and to warn them to quit instanter. In case of their refusal to move off their materials within a given time, the committee are instructed to cause them to be taken out of the District themselves. The committee has just been appointed, and the meeting is sail in progress. The excitement is una bated.

Refusal of Proprietors to Remove Era Office At tacked Resolution for Forcible Removal Distur bance Quelled, ie. The committee appointed to wait on the proprie tors of the National Era, reported to the meeting, at about quatrer before ten o'clock, that they had full- filled the duty assigned them, and that the proprietors peremptorily refused to the demand of the public, to remove their office and printing materials from Wash ington. This announcement caused a general rush of the erowd towards the Era Omce, and an attack was im mediately commenced on it with stones, but the Mar of the District interfering, and a large number of citizens rallying to his aid, the crowd was dispersed and quiet restored. iiitcuijg, me committee appointed, bacKed by the citizens would, at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, proceed to remove the printing materials from Washington, and it is- presumed they will be sent to Baltimore. account of the continued illness of Mayer Sea- ton, Waiter Lenox, President of the Board of Aldermen, has acted throughout the evening with great energy and efficiency.

Yesterday forenoon the inmates ot tne barber shop in Holliday street, near Fayette. were greatly alarmed by an apparent suicidal attempt of William Schaeffer.

Instead of that, he inflicted a wound two or three inches long on his throat, immediately across the windpipe, doing not much damage, nowever. He was afterwards properly uiKen care oi.
