Y., Saturday morning, involved a joss of over one hundred thousand dollars in Property &nd three or More lives. Paimer’s Block, in Main street, and several stores adjoining, were destroyed: also 'he Washington Hail block in the same street. The latter was a large and elegant buildin,, tbe hall being used for populer ex- hibitions. When its immense roof fell three or more men were buried in the ruins. The charred and mangled bodies of John Pike, Henry Forceler, and Joseph Wornett were taken from the ruims and conveyed to the cead-house. lt i» feared that several other pereons perished, and a further search is being made for the bodies. The master mechanics of St. Louis held a meeting Satarday night to consider the pres ent state of affairs growing out of the passage ef the eight-hourlaw. A communication trom the Merchants’ Exchai ,» through the board of directors. in reply to a statement of existing difficulties between employees and employers sent to that body by the master mechanics was read, which takes strong grounds against the movement of the working men. A working- men’s meeting is ealled fo night to consider the present condition of affairs and to decide upon some plan for future action. Late adviges from Arizona state that & war of extermination against the Indians has com. menced. The Indians are unusually active and hostile in all parts of the Territory. Gene- ral Gregg has inaugnrated a vigorous cam- paign, and is about to issue an order deciaring the Indians outside the reservation, except the Mohaves, hostile. The expedition to Black Mountain killed filtyand wounded a great many, and destroyed a large amount of pro- visions. Detacbments of troops have been sent out in all directions, and the slaughter was commenced in earnest. More soldiers are needed. The following is the full vote of the con- gressional election in Louisville, Ky, on Sat- urday:—Grover, = 2,926; Jacobs, (thira 537: Bullet, (Republiean,) 66. Gro- in the district will exceed 4,000, The vote in the city and county is very small, The returns indicate the election of the Demo- cratic candidates by « majority greater th: Dorrall’s last year in proportion,to the vote cast. It will be a day or two before anything is heard from the Eighth and Ninth districts, which are contested. The following is an extract from an order ieened by General Sheridan:—“To relieve the State of Louisiana from the incubus of the quarrel which now exists besween the Gover- nor and the Legislature as to which political arty have the disbursement of the four mil- Fons of levee bonas, authorized by the last Legislature, and in order to have ibe money | distributed for the best interests of the over- flowed districts, sll existing or pretended board of levee commissioners are hereby abol- ished. No riotous demonstrations by the strikers ‘were reported in Obicago, Saturday. Some of the police were stationed in various parts of the city, and under their protection work in some of the manufacturing establishments partially resumed under such temporary ar- Tangements as can be made between tbe par- ties interested. No labor of consequence is being performed at either the railroad shops or treight depots. Yesterday was the second Sunday of run- ning the street cars in Baltimore. The cars were crowded allday. The park was visited by fifteen thousand people. The preaching in the park was listened to with great atien- tion. Senator Wilson addressed an immense mixed meeting in Charleston, South Carolina, Fri- day evening. A burglar in attempting to roba room in the Gayoso House, Memphis Tennessee, yes- terday, Was shot dead. The Nevada State prison was burned on May. The loss was about $10,000. None of the prisoners escaped. Late Idaho advices represent that the In- br committing numerous depredations. imboat Red Bird was totally destroyed by tire yesterday at Red Bank, N- J. THE. oP Juvrenson Davis.—Jefferson Davis's petition to the United States Circui: Court in Virgima for 4 writ of habeas corpus, Tecapitulates the facts in connectien with his imprisonment, saying that it “has greatly impaired his health, and that the continuance tuereof through the coming summer would imvolye serious danger to his lite; that ample sureties for his appexrance to abide judgment on said indictment will be given, if admitud to bail; and that his detention, imprisonment, ana custody aforesaid always have been, and are beclaphgb aa! 2 under or by coler of the au- thority of the United States, and that he has Te&son to apprehend that theGovernment may not proceed to the trial upon said indictmen' at the next ensuing term of said court, which is to be held in Richmond on the first Monday of May, 1667.” He “prays that a writ of habeas corput may issue from this honorable court, to be directed to Brigadier General Henry S Burton and whomeorver may hold your prisoner in cus- tody, commanding him or them to have the body of your petitioner before the Uircuit Court of the United States tor the District of Virginia, on the firet Monday ot May, 167, at the opening of the court on that day, or ai such other time as in the said writ may be specified, for the purpose of inquiring into the cause of the commitment and detention of your petitioner, and to do and abide such order as this court may make in the premises.” A correspondent says that pail tothe amount of $100,000 for the release of Mr. Davis will be tendered, Augustus Schell and Horace Greeley becoming securities Tue ABest of 4 Boston Stock Urena- TOR.—We published on Saturday an account of the arrest of John Leighton, an operatorin miting shares in Boston. A smartearthquake in financial circles ensued and disturbed the equilibrium of operators in State street and ite vicinity. Leighton was one of the most extensive manipulators in Franklin, Hum- boldt, Hancock, Huron, Copper Falls, Hecin, &c, tm Boston. He was arrested on & process sued out by New York parties, and conveyed to comfortable quarters, where he will be con- fined, awaiting a requisition from the Gover. nor of New York. His tailure is moderately estimated at a million dollars, one house hay- ing & claim against him of near $230,000, while hisassets are inconsiderable. He was weil known as one of the most dashing outside op- erators in the financial arena of the Hub. He was afraid of nothing, and bad the nerve and confidence of A lion, as he was among the bears and bulls. His tailure is now the only theme of remark in the streets and at all pub- lic plages of resort, and at present it is impos- sible to estimate bow serious the disaster may be in quarters where his tracks are not cov- ered up. He was committed to jail Saturday evening, Owing to his failure to procure bail in $140,000, on writs served on him by the Hanover, Dana,and Franklin Mining Gom- pany. Two other complaints were served on bim by the United States authorities for aidi r4 and abetting Julius F. Hartwell in embezzling $300,000 of United States tands, Hartwell being at the time an agent of the United States. On the latter charge his bail was fixed at $30,000. Leighton admits the over issue ef Franklin mining stocks, but denies respon: ¥ for it, and declares his readiness to meet ju- dicial investigation. S77 A severe frost was opeeeet through- out portions of Whio on Tuesday night. At Cleveland water froze to the thickness of a quarter of an inch. At several points on the lake shore the peach trees are injured. No damage is reported in the interior of the State. It is hoped that the grain crops and fruits generally are not badly injured.

The Mexican Legation has received official doc te from Mexico, among them a letter ral Escobedo to General Mejia, Secretary of War, saying —General Guadar- Tawa bas jast forwarded to me the following 3:—“Marquez reache! with an escort of some jJorty persons, after which some five hundred French and 8 also arrived, in small yesterday made a requisition 0-day said that he left for Toluca, witb cavalry, in the direction of Las Cruces, We bave just arrived pear the vil- lage of Guadalupe, and we are skirmishing. Genera) Diaz is coming up with a considerable force.” The following is taken from the official organ of the Mexican Republic, published at San Luis, om the 19th of April, 1867:—“We have news from the camp before ( ueretaro to the 1ith instant. The enemy made a sortie by way of the garita to Mexico and the aqueduct; the movement was repulsed at both points. On He night of the l0th, Don Pedro Santo was mad prisoner while on hie way a som - joner from Maximillian to Marquez, to form the latter of the state of the city, which he deciares cannot long hold out. ‘om_pri- vate letters, and those of Maximillian to Mar- quez, it is evident that the city of Queretaro must e00n surrender, ifs garrison being with. out either munitions or provisions. We pre- sume by this time that it bas fallen, and thus the most eomplete and decisive victory will bave crowned the efforts of the nation.”” The Brownsville papers contain news of April the 20th trom Monterey, of the 19th trom Saltillo, of the 13th frem (jueretaro, and the 1lth from Puebla. The official report of Por- firio Diaz confirms the taxing of Puebla, which was doubted by many. The Governor of Mon- terey received a letter from (ueretaro, which says that it was doubtfui that Marquez haa abandoned bie artillery and his train, and that it was awaiting confirmation. From (,uere- taro we learn that an emissary from Maximil- lian, named Pedro Santta, sent to Marquez to inform him that Queretaro could not be held any loner, was apprehended by the Liberals. Private letters add that Sautta was executed. From his confession and Maximillian’s letters, which he was carrying to Marquez, it is evi- dent that Queretaro cannot resist any longer for the want of ammunition and subsistence. t THE WoRKING ProPLe—The iaborers o New York on May Ist struck for $3 a day They are resisted by their employers, how- ever, whe think that they car starve the In- borers into submission. The old rate paid was $250aday. There are 3000 laborers on this strike, and they are at present out of employ- ent, and the strike bas caused a partial sus- = ion of building operations in New York re was alsoin New York on May ist a journeymen brickinyers. The latter have, ‘ke of the jeurneymen plasterers against ¢! it is alleged, gone outside their province, and undertaken the work of plasterers, an plasterers, regarding such competition as dan- gerous, will not work on a building where bricklayers are employed as plasterers. This movement of one trade against another is somewhat ef an innovation on the present system of strikes, and it bus caused the Brick- yere’ Society to pass resolutions soliciting from employibg masons the plastering of all work wBich they may build or on which they may beemployed. From Lowell, Marsachu- setts, it is Announced that several of the mille have given notice that after a certain time one- half their employes wili be discharged and the manufacture of woolen goods be suspended. The workingmen of St. Louis hela a grand demonstration yesterday in favor of the Eight- hour law. Six thousand men, representi nearly all the trades, were in the procession, with flags, music, &c.

Arriving opposite St. Patrick’s Church, corner of Sixth snd Biddle streets, one of the fellows told him it was one of the finest churches inside in the United States, and that he himself did the painting. Kellen Went im, on their invitation, and, like a good Catholic, no soomer did he enter the threshold than he knelt down to give thanks for the blessings youchsafed to him. There was noone in the church at the ume but the three men. As Kelien arose from his kneeling posture, the larger and stronger of the two ruffians seized bim in the true garrot- ing style, and in less time than it takes to tell it, he was robbed of his pocket-book, contain- ing $70, and P ageeee 5 tickets on the steamer Rob Roy up the river.

Rather more than a thousard of the most miserable wretches that ever wore tne gsrb of humanity formed a procession and marched in silence from the neighborhood of Wapping and Whitechapel to the aristocratic quarters of St. James’ and Belgravia. There Was uo disturbance or excess of any kind. Every man was in rags, and every form and. face bore the unmistakable marks of privation and distress. A banner or two contained in- scriptions imdicative of their character and their wants, and a fewearried money boxes to receive any donations that mig! be be- stowed upon them. Why, | know not, butit was not deemed worth while to prevent this demonetration on the part of the autboriti but the sight was one that did not tend to add greatly to an Ex- glishman’s pride. These men, it is well known, were only the representatives of a body forty times their number, for it has been ascertained that there arr no less than forty thousand in the Eastern suburbs of London, not only out of employment, but reduced tw the extreme of destitution, and dependent on daily charity for their morsel of bread or cup of soup, that keeps the flame of life aligbt within their emaciated bodies.
