We are happy to peer from authentic rources that good temper good judgment are yet in the ascendant with the high func- ti-nariesef both Governments, and that the idle speculations which for a moment pre- vailed have lost their power for miechief. The ficial information received by our Govern- meat from London by the Pacific affords as- surance that although it is true that a British equadron was fitting out for the American wa- tcrs om special service, yet that squadron had no purpose of hostility or unfriendliness tc- wards the United States In Tae of ‘ intelligenve Commodore Paulding will proceed to the coust of Central America with erly one ship (the Potomac) in order to look atter cur general interests in that quarter.’’ The Union assures its readers that, not- withstanding the recent warlike English de- monstrations against the United States, there is no danger of war whatever, between the two countries; emphatically denies the asser- tion of the London Times that Messrs. Marcy 1 Buchanan tacitly agreed beforehand that gland might reeruit in this country; and adds, in another article : “We learn that upon the receipt of the in- telligence by the Asia of the intention of the British Government as to the contemplated despatch of a considerable naval squadron to the American waters, the Secretary of the Navy, elthough unable to believe that that quadron had apy hostile object, yet as it bore the appearance, at least, ef menace, con- cluded, in the spirit of wise and just regard, for the public interest, to withhold, for the wement, instructions to Commodore Paulding, the commander of the home squadron. “The official intelligence received from ion by the Pavific, gives assurance to our ‘ernment that the proposed British naval expedition has no reference to Central Amer- icon matters, nor in any respect a purpose unfriendly to this mater pip eam act of Nicaragua with oply ene ship, the Potomac, and in charge only of the genera} concerns of the United States in that quarter.’’ ee WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Organization —The members of the Know Nothing party, who are now so deeply iramersed in efforts to igure out combinations aud calculations on paper which will throw into their hends the organization of the House, with the offices and other places attached thereto, are beginning to comprehend the phil- osophy of the adage that “there’s many a slip "twixt cup and lip.’ They have elected nominally, an overwhelming majority of the body, yet for the couls of them, they cannot put their fingers, even on paper merely, on more than one-third of the House, if on as ; Who are to be relied on to vote for any whatever, running simply as a Know bing candidate or nominee.

So the Know Nothing Cahoodling’’ world wags in these “diggings” at the present writing.

Their deptorable quandary is the result of two facts: First. [t is now known that if the organiza- tion is not effected until the 4th of March. 1507, not a single Demoeratic member se elected, Massachusetts and New York elections, the Republican managers are highly pleased with it. Their platform is a naked free-soil aboli- on one, without support from any quarter being to compel them so to do. “Here's a Shad for me and a Herring for you; and a Herring for you and a Shad for me.’’—The following document isin printin the hands of many cf the Know Nothing managers now in Washington, who are cheating them- selves into the hope that they will be able to induce many Democratic members to form a coalition with them to secure and then to di- vide the spoils. We presume that it is not concurred in by the “Organ’’ party, else—why strike the Philadelphia platform flag?

If a sufficient number of National Ameri- cans cannot be assembled to effect an organi- sation upon the above basis, a conference shall be invited with all members favorable to an organization upon the basis of main- taining the existing laws upon the subject of slavery as a final and conclusive settlement of that subject.

The necessary instructions have also been communizated for asmall permanert reservation for the Rogue Tiver tribe in the forks of Rogue river and Evan’s Creek opposite Fort Lane, under their treaty of the 19th of September, 1853. By these arrangements, large districts of country recently cede? by the several tribes, will be thrown open to settlement, and many causes of dissatisfaction, and even conflict’ between the races will be removed, which past experience has shown to be incidental to the rapid settlement of a new country, What's in the Wind’?—The Know Nothing newspaper publiched in this city seems quiet- ly to have struck the Philadelphia Platform it has kept in itseolumns, t> swear by, as it were, up to very recently.

FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE: [Gorrespondence of the Evening sitar.) AuExanpria, Nov. 17, 1855. Our city wears the aspect of unwonted ex- citement this morning, for its slumbers of last night were broken by a calamity such as has rarely befallen us. At midnight the bells rang the fire alarm, and flames were found bursting from the upper windows of the large china warehouse of Jas. T. Dowell, (late Hugh Smith & Co.) on King street below Fairfax. Some little delay ce- curred, owing to a difficulty between our city authorities and some portion of the fire de- ent but it was not long ere all the avail- able apparatus of the city was at work stay- ing the pr. of the destroyer. The Sun and Star on the front, and the Relief and Hy- daulion in the rear, gave battle to the flames that ensconsed amid the straw-packed crates of the warehouse for a long time defied every effort to dislodge them. At le: , however, after most of the inte- rior had been destroyed, the flames began to yield; and just as it was thought danger had passed, the western wall fell in with a terrific crash, carrying most of the remaining flooring to the cellar, and burying under the ruins a large number of firemen. ‘The scene that ensued beggars description. All battle with the fiery element coased, and every sh vg a al spt rear from the wreck. @ slight pause, to give time for the removal of a the work has continued until 11 o’clock this morn- ing. Fhe following-named persons have been taken from the ruins: John A. Roach, much injured; since died. Robert J. Taylor, dead. George Plain, dead. David Appich, jr., dead. 5 a reen, of the firm of Wise & Green. ead. W. S. Evans, dead. James Keane. dead. F. A. Marbury, slightly injured. David Williams, slightly injured. C. J. Wise, slightly wounded. Wm. H. Lambert, wounded R. H. Stone, bruised. John Dogan, (colored,) thigh broken and seriously burned; since died. Others yet remain buried beneath the ruins, and little hopes are entertained of extricating them alive. Business is pretty generally at a stand; and a large concourse of people have aseembled ia the vicinity of the accident. The pecuniary loss ($15,000) is covered by in- surance—$6000 on the house by Jas. P. Smith, and $20 000 (reported) on the stock by J.T. Dowell. The fire was undoubtedly the planned work of some miscreant; as the building was fired in several places, and balls of campbened wick, trains of powder, &c., connected the combustible materials of the warehouse.

The noise, confusion and excitement of the recent election, has nearly passed away, leav- ing cur city comparatively quiet, yet you can distinguish the successful from the defeated party, by their looks of exultation; and now and then you hear one of Sam’s boys hurra- ing for Sam, acry that has made night hideous for some time past. To-night, the last grand jubilee of the Know Nothing partyis to come off. They are to have a toreh-light procession and a supper jolification ; this will close the drama until the jegislature meets, and then will commence the scramble for the few offices under its gift. Several gentlemen have been talked of hero as likely to succeed ex-Gov. Pratt in the U 8. Senate. Among the most prominent, are Dr. Ninnian Pinkney, Geo. Wells, Esq , and Thomas Alexander, Esq Who. among the number can muster the most and strongest friends, time alone will tell. A new Treasurer is also to be elected ; and several of the hard- working men of the party are aspirants for that lucrative office. I rather think that after the offices are all disposed of, Sam will not have as many rong treats &8 at present. Our city continues to improve, and any one with a 1 to invest in build’ comforta- ble d gs for rent, would & good in- vestment for their money. The Naval Academy is now in fall blast, with few short of two hundred students. This is certainly one of the handeomest places of rap agg grad S sees earn that the He Leslie, carpenter, attached to the United Btates practine-shig Preble, met with a a severe injury, from a fal on Sunday night last, while going off to his ship, that will confine him for some time to come.
