The flames when first seen, were jnst getting good headway near the fan. The ery of fire on the steamer had the most elertrica! effect—the great- est consternation was produced amon the pas- sengers—iLe ladies screamed, while some of the more timid fainted, and a wild alarm spread throughout the boat which was not subdued until after the ames had been extinguished, and the passengers assured of the perfect wafety of the boat An Exrmaor ELorewent — During last week (snys the biladelphia News) the upper portion of society has been thrown in- to a state of excitement by an extraordinary case ofelopement. It appears that a Jewish gentle- man, named Mercer Soltzkelter, tozether with and handsome wife, azed If years, or theres! , came to this city from the goodly city of Memplis, ‘T on a visiting tour, und the busband int ed to purchase goods. ‘They arrived intown one day last week, and took up as thetr lodging place, the American Heuse. Now, it appeared th the time there lived af the ‘Asgetiean’? a man named James L. Bilger, and tady, of thiscity. Mrs. Stoltzkel- fer, Who as we said before, wax vouny aud pret- ty, attracted the ufientioa of Mr Bilyer. Notes were passed between them, and dur the ab- sence of Mr. S., of Memphis, inte Ws were beld. At these interviews it was agreed that they should leave And so they did, and that rather unexpectedly to their respective partners. Informatiog was left at the Detective ottice, op- posite, that they had left on Friday, about eleven o'elock,a.m. The ingennity of the Detectives were set to work, and resulted in the arrest of the parties on Mouday evening, at the house of ‘en ever since akeu before Alderman 4 Leid to answer in the sum of one thonsanddoilare The Western gentleman took back oe rtner to bis heart, and left rath- er suddenly for Sasson on Monday night, on the eleven o'clock train West.

It is utterly impossible that there can be a matof sense in’ the land who knows eught of the politics of the times, and yet fails to com- prehend the fact that Ex-Senatér and ex-Gov. Foote, in coming out a3 a full-blown Douglas. ite, and, as a consequence, in denouncing the organization of the Democratic party, is merely esf®ying to scratch his way out of his political grave, upon which the turf is now s0 matted, as that with all his reputation as the most gdroit and indefatigable scratcher of his time; in pol- ities, he cannot so tear it asunder as to rise again mounted upon the Douglas, or any other, hobby. He was originally a Democrat—turned Union party man during a momentary storm of ex- citement against the Democracy in Mississippi, and thus got a new lease on office. Sober sec- ond thought soon left such gentlemen as him- self, in his region, high and dry, as so much political drift wood. He went to California—the fancied heaven of baulked gentlemen of inordinate ambition with no discretion to match it. There, he turned up the American party leader, when it was vainly thought that the American party were about to sweep that State. Of course he was the American party candidate for the Sen- ate there. As they could not elect him to that position, or because it is utterly impossible that Mr. Henry S. Foote can remain for more than a twelvemonth oceupying any given po- litical position, he soon quit that organization in disgust, and was found again in the Demo- cratic ranks in the last Presidential canvass. Since then, Mr. Buchanan has offered him nothing that we have ever been able to learn; and he is next heard of demanding, in a late rambling, rattling and intense speech to the dear people, a new shufile, cut and deal of par- ties. He pronounces the organization of the’ Democratic party corrupt, stigmatizes fhose who are to act in the party’s name at Charles- ton, in advance, as men against whose lead tho patriotic should indignantly protest—and all that sort of thing. Well; we are by no means surprised that Mr. Henry S. Foote is awakened by the blasts of the Douglas trumpet, and thus proclaims that he has “jined de army’’ of phunkey, fishy, sore-headed troops—political, who evi- dently aim to back Douglas in his contem- plated purpose of running a muck against the democracy in 1560 on the greater practicability and availability of “his abolitionism, at the North; and on his mettle and talents—i. ¢. his brass—at the South. Reader, we have seen too much of the inside of politics not to be ready to aver -that when Senator Brown reads ex-Senator Foots’s speech, he will jump clean out of the Douglas cock-boat, even if in fifty feet waier. He is a gentleman of too much’ brains and reliable democracy to hesitate in- stantly to get out of any political craft of which Mr. Henry S. Foote (without as much as “ by your leave, sirs,’’ to such accidental pas-’ sengers as himself—Senator B —) has: seized the helm. Catirornta.—The mail bringing the account of the overwhelming defeat of the combined opposition—Republican, American, and Phun- key—in California, published in the Scar of Wednesday, also brought us the Albany Eve- ning Journal replete with wise calculations that the combined opposition aforesaid must certainly carry the State. The truth is, Thur- low's elements of calculation were wrong in two particulars. First, in his omission to re- member the faet that there no longer exists an ‘American party” in California, More than a year since the intense opposition men of that party merged themselves in the Republican ranks, and its national men as quietly became members of the Democratic party. Second, in his miscaleulation with reference to the strength of the Phunkey fellows—the Douglas Demo- erats—the men disappointed by the present National and State Administrations about office for themselves or their persunal friends, or “strikers’’—the men who train under Hrod- erick and McKibbin. They are with great unanimity gentlemen who “go in for the main ehance.”’ Taking warning by the refusal of the Republicans of Illinois to pay their great leader his own estimate of the value to them of his desertion of the party to which he owes everything, a considerable portion of the mer- eenary California band who originally backed Broderick and McKibbin in their desertion of the cause they were elected to support, de- clined following them clean over to the Repub- licans. So the Phunkies’ strength was much Jess in the recent California election than Thurlow anticipated—much leas. When Mr. Broderick was simply a noted New York Knight of the Toddy Stick, he was all powerful with the class of voters who are to be swayed by politicians of his cal- ibre. Speculation in San Francisco water lots and the action of the Legislature of California, however, made him a rich man; and his am- bition prompted him to higher things and as- sociations than such as he had been accustomed to when compounding brandy cock-tails in New York. He aspired to be a political leader, rather than a mere “striker” as of old. Ilis wings were not competent to the design of his flight. So he made his memorable fiascu in the Senate of the United States last winter, and his even more memorable failure to “head off’’ the democracy and the National Administration in the recent California election. Mr. Thurlow Weed should wipe the glasses of his spectacles, else he will be caught again in thus making unfounded ealculations upon the strength of the Phunkey-fellows’ cause before the people. Tue Excixes, &c.,vor tag New Steawers The reports of the members of the Engineer Board upon the proposals for constructing the machinery of the proposed new steam sloops- of-war having been completed, Secretary Toucey has decided to award the contracts as follows : For the machinery of the vessel building at Brooklyn Navy Yard, to the Fulton Iron Works, New York city. For that for the vessel building at Warring- ton, Fla., to the Morgan Iron Works, New York city. For that for the vessel building at Kittery, Me., to Messrs. Woodruff & Beach, at Hart- ford, Conn. For that for the vessel building at Boston, to the Boston Locomotive Works. For that for the largest of the two vessels building at Philadelphia, to Messrs. Merrick & Son, of Philadetphia. No award was made of the machinery for the vessel building at the Gosport Navy Yard, but the proposals are held under consideration. For the smallest of the two vessels building St Philadelphia the proposals for furnishing the machinery were not deemed satisfactory, and further proposals will be advertised tor. The contracts with the parties will also in- clude the putting of the machinery on board of the several vessels, and fitting it up com- pletely. We learn that the Secretary intends to forward the construction of these vessels and their machinery with all possible rapidity. day, through the Svar, tha have for sale last night, copies containing his long threa wn into the camp of Administration, caused a rush of some four or five hundred curiosity seckers to his popular store, before the hour of closing.. Our commu- nity is a political one. That is to say, for the number of inhabitants Washington .contains, fhe number of politicians of alf parties among them is.at least fourfold larger.than in any pother American city. Hence the great eager- ness manifested by thésé ar6und us to peruse anything expected to be spicy concerning poli- ties. The crowd, however, were disappointed for the jtime being; as the expected bundle of abuse and misrepresentation of better men than Forney, did not reach Washington until this morning. Its arrival, by the by, has only served to increase the disappointment of the wonder-mongers; insomuch as it proves to be a mere rehash of the stale slanders of the Press newspaper, spun out through eight of its long columns. There is nothing.whatever that we can perceive new in its whole length—ab- solutely nothing—in the way of a charge, or of alleged proof of the truth of either of its charges, that has not been published time and again in the same newspaper. As an intel- lectual effort, Forney never wrote anything weaker. while as an exhibition of his spite aud malevolence against his former friends, it is a much feebler document than his Tarrytown speech. On the whole, it is simply the abor- tion—the glaring let down or break down—of the times. New York Custou-Hovse Fravps.—Al- though inyestigatiens of charges of fraud and malfeasance against oértain subordinates in the New York, Custom-house are boing made, and that with all due care and rigor, we find the opposition prints ate using. the fact that such charges have been brought, as a ground for as- sailing both Collector Scheil and the Secretary of the Treasury. The opinion that the charges will turn out to be groundless is, we under- stand, strengthening with the progress of the investigation. The allegation that the com- mittee who are investigating the affair are en- deavoring to cover it up, is both gratuitous and contemptible. Lerters by U. 8. VesseLs.—The Postmas- ter General has decided that letters received from U. S. vessels cannot be considered “ship letters’’ under the provisions of the act of March 3, 1825, which apply only to letters or packets carried “rn” any private ship or wes- sel.’ Such letters, therefore, are chargeable only with drop-letter postage, if intended for the delivery of the office in which they are de- posited, and with the ordinary rates if forward- ed to other offices, and in neither ease is any compensation to be allowed to the person from whom they are received Tue Captain oF tHe Ecuo.—We lear from Lieut. Maffit, late of the Dolphin, by whom the slaver Echo was captured, that the arrange- ment of the question as to the right to try the Captain of the Echo at Boston, has been post- poned until the 14th of the present month. Lt. M. also states thdt the guns which the Dol- phin will carry on the Paraguay expedition were shipped on board of her bétore he left Boston. They comprise three 32-pounders and one 9-inch Dahlgreen gun. No doubt is en- tertained of her ability to carry thisarmament. Scpposep To sg Lost.—We learn that the steam yacht Fire Fly, which was bought some time ago from Howell & Aspinwall by the Gov- ernment, for the Coast Survey service, sailed from Norfolk about eight weeks ago, and has not since been heard of. She is supposed to have been lost at Sea. She was under command of Lieut. Bayard E. Hand, and was to have re- ported at Savannah for the service., Ovr Minister to Denwank.—Letters re- ceived in Baltimore from Copenhagen mention the arrival there, previous to the 13th August, of Hon. James M. Buchanan, of that city, as U. 8. Minister to Denmark. He had been most satisfactorily received by the King and diplo- matic corps generally. Deata or AN AtTacne or THE Navy.—We arcinformed at the Navy Department, this morning, that intelligence has been received of the death of Robert Whittaker, a boatswain in the Navy, which oceurred at Charlestown, Mass, on the 37th ult. Mr. W. has been in the service fur a number of years, and was of an advanced age. Restenep.—The resignation of Mr. J. N. Lucas. a clerk in the General Land Office, which was tendered and aecepted about a month ago, took effect to-day. APPOINTMENT JN THE Patent Orrice.— Robert D.
