Bertram a combination of all these terrible qualities. In copious and heart-touching eloquence, it exhibits to the reader the picture of a powerful mind--ruined--blasted-desolate--yet unbending, and holding in his soul, as the life i being, the sentiments of a deadly vengeance against the earthly author of his woes.

It was this whom M'Laughlin represented. The tragedy opens with a terrible tempest, which Bertram, long an exile and tlaw from his native land, is thrown upon the coast near the castle ofhis deadly enemy, Aldobrand. He is succored by a community of monks -through them gains access to the astle, and there wreaks his long lursed, double distilled, fiendish vengeance on its lord; he stabs him to the heart.

INCENDIARIES TAKEN. It will perhaps be gratifying to our citizens to know, that the ringleaders of the gang of robbers and incendiaries who for (he last two months have been committing depredations in this city, have been arrested, and imprisoned for trial at the next term of the Court of Common Pleas. Facts, causing suspicion to rest on certain individuals, were communicated to constable Brooks some three weeks since. Mr Brooks, together with constable Safin and Hazen, whom he called to his assistance, immediately devised ways and means to ascertain whether or not their suspicions were well result of a few days' investigation was the arrest of Wm Doty, Hugh L. Daugherty, and Presley F.

Neville, alias (and more properly) Presley N. Fisler, charged wilh the crimes of it was suspected they were guilty. Two of them, Doty and Filler, were arrested on the morning following the robbery of Mr Weslcott'a shoe store on Main between Fourth and Fifth and all, or nearly all, the booty found the possession of Doty. Fisler has since confessed. It appears, by the testimony given in by him before the magistrate, that all the laic fires were the work of incendiaries, among which he and Doly were the conspicuous actors.

The first of the series, namely, that of the store of Mr Clark, near the corner of Main and Seventh was set on fire by Doty and another of the gang, yet at next, Mr Day's hat and cap store, on Main st. between Fourth ind Fifth by the same. The next, Mr Meguier's shoe store, and Mr Ewing's saddle and harness shop, a i Gazette of the apprehension of the incendiaries, adds -the following which we deem it just to insert: "We have been furnished by dis interested gentlemen with farther particulars respecting the arrest these villains. Jt seems that ail of our constables Pruden Nocks, Smith, Abbott and Wright as well as the others named abovej have been actively engaged in the work, lirooks and Madison, constables, with Joseph Morrow, went to Dayton in search of James Henry who has been but a short time the Penitentiary, and was a leader in the band of desperadoes. Not finding him there, they left a description i person with the proper officers, and proceeded to Troy.

On their return they learned that the Marshal of Dayton had taken Henry into his custody, but through shyness, afterwards suffered him to escape. Doty and Hopkins subsequently endeavored to take the trail and arrest him, but were unsuccessful. Our police officers have been untiring in their exertions to bring to justice these offenders; and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon them in return." Post Office find the following notice of one extra the Pittsburgh Gazette: "The case of the extra allowance of per year to Reeside and Slaymaker, was a prominent facts were briefly these. There appeared to "be five or six partners in carrying the mail hence to Phila- i a au extra allowance of 000 per year, was made to these partners, for about 21 months. This allowance was only known to two of the partners, i the committee of the senate proclaimed it to the whole world.

Mr Horbach then very properly claimed his share of it. Mess. Reeside and Slaymaker refused to pay him any part of it, or to give him any explanation of how it had been a i but very kindly and affectionately consented to explain confidentially to Messrs. McKee and McNair. how the money had been expended.

These were to report whether the money had been expended for the advantage of the firm, but were not to say how it was expended. They reported in favor of Reeside and Slaymaker, but were not at liberty to state what passed fcj i I Clj on Lower Market by Doty and between thern and those gentlemen.

It is our opinion, however, that it was the result of the excited feelings of the actor, who had so absorbingly entered into the dreadful spirit of his hero, as to drive home his death upon his heart by the mere spasmod- action of the muscles that uncon- ciously moved to do the bidding he tempest of passion within.

Ta- cing into view premeditated purpose was accident--for he had no de sign of ending his life with the play but looking at his complete idcnlifi calion of feeling with the part he acted, the accident becomes a natural and not a wonderful consequence. The hallucination, if such we may i large i i at the corner of Main and Front also by Doty and Fisler, assisted by another, who has not yet been taken. Stores were entered and robbed of whatever was thought to be the most valuable before setting fire to them. The robbery of Mr Moses' dry goods store, on Fiflh was committed by Doty and Fisler, assisted by Daugherly. The robbery of Mr Westcott's shoe store, on Main between Fifth and Sixth also, the shoe store of Mr Hart, next adjoining this money was paid to 0- B.

Brown." Messrs McKee and McNairhave got into some trouble about the part they took in this affair. Upon its Deing made public, the agency was regarded as not a very creditable one. Indeed it is difficult to consider it in any other i than becoming confidential confederates in a transaction too foul to bear the light. What is the legitimate inference from the decision that the money had been expended for the advantage of the firm? There can be but one; it I Gulf of Mexico. The estimated cost of this work is NOHWALK.

Upon what ground we are Gaz. relation to the death of M'- Laughlin, theactor whostabbed him eelf to the heart, while personating the character of Bertram. He was a young man of good personal accomplishments, not more than twenty-four years of age--possessed fine talents, and a mind of an extremely sensitive and melancholy cast.

After mentioning some preliminary particulars, the writer in the Methodist the melancholy catastrophe, which has laid M'Laughlin in the cold have read the tragedy on which he spent his last earthly -powers; and, amidst the passion of agitaling his audience like a received his death wound. Before we close ihis article, the reason why read this tragedy will be apparent. The Rev. R. C.

Maturin, the author tf the play, was an En- plish clergyman of powerful fancy. Besides some productions of the pulpit, of which he was author, there call it, did not end with the plunge of the dagger. His feelings bore him along yet further. There was still, after some exclammations of surprise from the tragic monks, a dying sentence for him to repeat- He went through it with a startling a burst of "I die no felon's death-A warrior's weapon While he was pronouncing these, the last words of the tragedy, his eye and manner were fearfully blood was falling from his bosom upon the young gentleman who had personated the then lifeless ladylmo- gene!

Doly and Fisler are also old offenders, tho' in years. i from appearances, the age of neither of them exceeds twenty-one.

In the character of Doty, a depravity is developed in its deepest dye. Fislcr, i the last four or five months and up to the time i arrest, was in the employ of Mr Ewing. I3y his close attention' to business i working hours, he succeeded in avoiding suspicion, notwithstanding the extent to which, for the lost month or two, he carried on his work of destruction.

We have been informed, by a gentleman who resides at Perrysburg, that all danger of civil war, in relation to the disputed territory, lias subsided. Mr Rush of Penn. and Col. Howard, of Baltimore were sent on by the President, with peremptory orders to the Governor of Michigan, to desist from violence, and all warlike operations; and to allow the line to be run peaceably, by the State authorities of Ohio. The elections were held last week in the disputed territory; justices the peace, and other officers have been duly commissioned, taken the oath of office, and are now peaceably executing the duties of offices, under and by virtue of, the laws of Ohio.

Some days ago, the court being session in Manroe county, Michigan, process was sent down to Toledo, to arrest and take to the jail of that county, some Irishmen who had been engaged in a riot. The rioters were advised by a justice and some other officers of Toledo, that Michigan had no jurisdiction over them, and had no right to take them; and they therefore set the officers at the facts were stated to the court, process was issued against the officers who gave the advice, for an alleged re- ibtance of legal process; and a sufficient number came down from Monroe, and ook them by force, and committed them to the Monroe jail, where they still remain. No other disturbance has been made by Michigan; and the Commissioners of Ohio were to commence yesterday .0 run the line. The inhabitants on the disputed territory, are almost unanimously in favor of he rights of Ohio. It is possible, though by no means certain, thatGov.

Lucas will take measures to have the two individuals imprisoned jrought by habeas corpus before a Judge of the Supreme Court of the U. offence, if any, is so trifling, that the court of Monroe county will not dare to punish them very severely; and Gov.
