MARRIAGE OF A WASHINGTONIAN.—A lar; number of ladies and gentlemen witnessed atthe M. E.

Dr. Hough. Koxsery.—The residence of Mr. Philip H. ff, on Sminary Hill, at present occupied by astain, was entered by thieves night before nd a vest and trunk stolen from the cham- ber in which Mr. Castain and his wife were asleep. In a pocket of the vest were about twelve or fourteen dollars, and in the trank about one nundred and forty dollars. The vest was found, yesterday, in the road near the house—the money gone; and the trank was found in the w near by, with all its contents of clothing untouched, and the money only missing. RumorED SALE oF A RatLroap.—Rumor still says that the terms of the sale of the Rich- mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad to the Pennsylvania Central have been agreed upon, by representative of the contracting par- ties in Philadelphia.—Gaeette, last evening. ————-s2e--—_ Fire- Buildings, The Scientific American suys:—The Chicago fire has proved that so-called fire-proof buildings may retard the progress of a great fire, but can- not prevent its onward march, when once it has gathered sufficient power in the destruction of wooden buildings. The power of concentrated heat upon stone, bricks, and iron is little appre- ciated by those who rely upon these materials as security from burning. The writer was in the city of Troy at the great fire of 1862, and had an opportunity of witnessing the effect of fire upon several suj d tire-proot buildings, which ‘stood in a direct line of the advancing flames. The heat was blown upon these buildings with almost the intensity of a biast furnace. wrought iron shutters, which were depended upon to protect the windows, curled up and — exposing the glass beneath, which .oon roke or melted, or if supported ’b; , Was almost instantly dro) from the frames. Then the flames found. admission to the buildings, which soon yielded. It wes noticed particularly that cast iron actually seemed to burn, and we have little doubt that in many cases there was actual burn- ing of the metal; the same effect being produced as would be upon the bottoms of cast iron ket- tles placed over fire and containing hot sand. Nearly every one knows that when cast iron is raised toa red heat, rel emg d oxidizes or burns. The extensive use of this material is therefore best practice in rendering buildings fire- roof. 5 the Troy fire, it was seen that even the supposed fireproof :a‘es burned in most cr cs when bas f were not protected by maonry. At the great fire at London Bridge, whicli took place in the summer of 1861, the ready yielding of easi-inon columns, beams; and girders wat specially noticed, and’ formed the subject of an article in the London Review, The fact is, that cast ironis no more to be de- pended on than wood when standing amidst a really great fre. Wrought tron does better, but it too has important defects, among which is its expansibility under heat, which, when its used in conjunc: with masonry, cracks the latter, and thus commences the work of destruction. In short, our nt ms of tireproot.ng need thorough revision and modification, in the Jight of recent experience, before they can de- verve the confidence of the public. Barbarities of the Slave Trade. _ The horrois of the African slave tra le still exist-as the following narrative proves. It ‘s taken irom the evidence by the Rev. Horace Waller, printed in the recent Parliamenta-y rt on the Slave Trade, issued in London idnapping is prevalent all over Africa, leading to alt sorts oe disputes and retalia~ tiows, and the more disturbed the country is the cheaper slaves become. So cheap do they at Jast bccome that Mr. Waller has known children of the age of :rom — to ten years bought for Jes corn than would go into a hat; and it may be easily imagined that when they ‘are bought so cheaply and when they fetch so large a price on the cost, it pays the slave-dealer well to colicet #5 many slavesas he can, knowing that he must lc ¢ acer} au proportion'on the way, but alo hnow ng that the rema‘nder will pay him a large profit, It is (remarks Mr. Waller) like cend'ng up for a large block of ice to London in hot weather; you know that a certain amount will melt away before it reaches you in the countyy, but that ich remains will be sufti- cient for your wants. Mr. Waller further explaired bow this “block of ice” melts in transit: “Sickness may break out; they may cross a part of the country where there is very littie tood, and then may die of famine. Then again, if there is anything like insubordination in the slave gang, the axe and knife are nsed yery freely indeed, and an indiscriminate slaughter takes place among all those who are inclined to be obstreperous. We liberated a gang of eighty- four slavcs one morning, and within a few miles of the place where we liberated them we were shown places in the bush where slaves had beeu killed only that morning. One poor woman had a child on her back which she had recently given birth to, and which she was too weak to — further, and the slave-dealer took it by the hee! and dashed its brains out against a tree. Another woman was ill Seca ont ole not kee; ler Hons, while the trade. . &7A Boston organ CITY ITEMS. OLD Location completety with the Goods that can be 1018 and 10207th street.
