INPELLIONNCE BY YE MAILS. The Abolition Fermentation in the Federal City. Wasuixoron, April 19, 1848. The effervescence is in no degree abated. This morning there was a meeting at the jail of the owners of the 77 recaptured slaves of the schooner Pearl, or Absurd. The respective owners proved their respective property before the District Attorney, who in the outset stated the law and the penalty for the crim» of abduct- ing slaves from thie District. Mr. Giddings, of the House, was present, as we are informed, and narrowly escaped the vengeance of the crowd collected in and around the premises. This afternoon, a servant man of the United States Hotel was seized on the Avenue, and car- ried off as a slave to Alexandria, where. asit is urged, he is, by the laws of this contederation, a The act, even among the slavehvlders of Washington, who witnessed the proceeding, provoked them to interfere for a trial of the case ; but the wise magistrate before whom they sucereded in bringing the prisoner for exami- nation, declined any jurisdiction in the case, and the man, bound hand and foot, was carried away. ¢ To-night, at eight o'clock, the mob had col- lected to the number of two or three thousand, in front of the National Era office. Some of the friends proposed to them to go ecross the way to the front of the Patent office, to hear a speech or two. The crowd accepted the offer, and went over, filling the stairway and the portico of the building, and blocking up the wide street with their numbers. ir onox, of the Board of Aldermen, was led for, and in the absence of the Mayor, who sick, addressed the meeting as the organ of he corporation. He recommended calm and de- liberate action, and hoped the citizens of Wash- ington would sustain their god character before the country, ia their proceedings to redress this late outrage upon their property and their teel- ings. H- recommended that a meeting be held at the City Hall, on Friday evening, for defiaite action in reference to the obnoxicus press (Frequent cries of *‘to-night,to-uight.”) By Fri- day evening, due notice could be given to all the citizens through the public papers, and the voice of the community could be fairly presented. (A voice in the crowd—‘*‘It istoo late”) No, no! It is never teo late to do right. (Cheers) I) ‘was too late for the crown of France to be placed on the head of the Count of Paris; but it is not too late for us to respect ourselves, while we maintaimour rights. (A voice—‘ What rights !” Other voices— Down with him! Down with the Abolitionist!) What rights! Why, our Tights of property—our rights uader the consti- tution—our social and lawful rights. (Cheers.) Mr. Lennox pleaded earnestly for calmuess, and deliberate action, for self-respect, and dignity in redressing our wrongs; but was evidently lis- tened to by the governing element in the crowd with more of respect than concurrence. Capt, Ronrnson next spoke, and more to the temper of the mob, which hed come in from the suburbs and from Georgetown, with a determi- nation to redress the wrongs of their neighbors, by tearing the abolition office to pieces. He suggested a meeting of the people to-morrow, (cries of “to-night, to-night, to-night,”) who should appoint a commmittee to wait on the abolition editor, and if he refused to leave the District, with his office, then let the people move his effects beyond the limits of the District, and thus get rid of a nuisance which ought to have been reported as such by the grand jury, and ex- petled as such by the corporation before to-day Mr. Rapcurrrs next harangued the multitude, teking the same geaeral view of tbe subj-ct as Mr. Lennox. He urged a public meeting on on Friday (‘too late, too late—to-night, night— we have it here, now, now.”) Why not to-mor- row, then? (‘‘o-night, to-might.”) No, I prefer that we should do whet we propose to do, in the in the face of day, and not under the cover of night, as if we were ashamed of the sunshine. The crowd, however, insisted on action to-night, and on the appointment of a committer, and a report to-night from the editor of the Era. Mr Rat- cliffe pleaded with great skill and ability and perseverance, for proceedings by daylight; but the mob were inflexible, end the mob ruled the action of the meeting. Fiaally, to appease taem, acommittee, was agreed upon. Mr. Ratcliffe aud Mr. Lennox were elected to name the com- miuee, which they proceeded to do, the mertiog generally confirming their appointments, until between filty aad sixty of our most resp-ctabl- citizens were named ag the general \committee of visitation forthwith to the editor. Tne crowd agreed to wait fur a report Mr. Ratcliff, and a few of the committee ap- pointed, accordingly repaired to the £'ra olfice, and to the residence of Dr. Builey, the editor, in aooher street. They had a conference wit the editor, and urged apon him the necessity of com- pizing with the requisition of the excited popu- ace, in the prompt removal of his office out of this District. Dr. Batley, with remarkable coolness, told the committee tvat he was but one man—he had no power of resistance ; that there was the office, and he had no more to say. és Mr Ratciffe came back to the multitude at the Patent office, and reported progress ; and as a last expedient to appease the mob, he proposed atown meeting to-morrow atten o’clock The proposition was not accepted ; and Mr. Ratcliffe gave up the contest in despair. Tae mob then passed over to the Era office on Seventh street, near by, with the view of com- menacing operations. But there was an awk- ward obstruction in the way—being nothing less than the indomitable and daring Captain God- dard and hisauxiliary guard. The guard stood 1n front of the obnoxious building, and the crowd filled up all the street in theneizeborhood. They threw stones at the building—they menaced the police ; but not one of them dared to make the assault in storming the works, because ‘the D’hoys”’ knew that Captain Goddard is not tobe trifled with. The District Attorney rose and addressed the gathering. He pleaded the laws of the land, and put in a most eflective argument in saying that the police were there, and among the crowd— that they knew every man, and would mark every man who should attempt to take the law into his own hands. As we leit, the crowd was beginning rapidly to disperse, and we suppose that ine contemplated assault ia abandoned for the night. ne Ae The peace-regarding and law-abiding citizens of Washington are not responsible for this mob. It was controlled by young men and boys whose object was a frolic, out of which they were cheated by the police. Con. Piuck. Wasuineton, April 19, 1848, The Fire. At midnight last night the bells rung the fire alarm. Under the supposition that it was a de- vice to collect a mob for a descent upon the a- tional Era establishment, we went out with a number of gentlemen to witness the sequel. But it turned out there was a fire uptown; and hitching on to engine with a member of the House, we pulled up to the burning building, op- posite Willard’s Hotel, in 14th street. A brick house, occupied by a family and a number of boarders, was burned down. In the building, also, was avaluable library, belonging to Major Graham, who is now in Mexico, which, with aii his maps, charts, &c., of the North Eastera boundary, valued, ail the effects together, books, mape and papers, at $15,000, were consumed. Several houses near by caught fire, but were ex- tinguished ; an adjoining building, had the root burat off. The adjoming buiiding on the other side, a small brick and frame, was crushed into the cellar by the falling * wali of the building first consumed. Here it ‘was supposed the fire was urrested—the middie house had burnt out—that to the right had been saved; that to the lett had been crushed into the cellar, and thus had cut off the fire trom the next adjoining building. But the house which they had regarded as beyond all danger, took fire, and, in spite of their best efforts, the ‘wremen had the mortification to see it consumed Most of the furniture in the houses destroyed, was saved, and the loss, apart from that of Mejor Graham and the government, is small. We regret to say that the noble exertions of the firemen, while there was fire to extinguish, were followed, when the work wae over, by the usual afterpiece of a fight among themselves, and that several men were seriously wounded or mu- tilated in this strauge and uamaniy pai ne.

Since the stealing of eighty of the slaves of this District, by the Captain of an oyster boat from Jersey, there has been great excitement with men, and particularly among the boys, who office this evening, at eight o'clock, to delibes rate about what shou!d be done with the Wation- al Era off ce, which many have recently disco. vered to exist, although i* has “a local habita- tion and a name” for two years. ** National Era,” “ National Era,” waa neveryboay’s mouth, and attire pointot every stone; and amid all the in- dignation expressed against this abolition print, there was much sport, as will presently appear.

He told them that he was reared in the Divtridy that he had an interest in the city, (he 13 a large pro- perty holder,) and that, in his view, it would be disreputable to accomplish by force what could be effected by law. “It is too late!” cried out amanin the crowd. “Ah,” replied Mr. Le- Nox, it is not too late to preserve our character ‘as good citi; ** [eis too late,”” was exclaimed in the Chamber of Deputies, when an sttempt was made to place the crown of France upon the head of the infant duke.

Wilkins reports that.there appeared but little prospect of a speedy termination of the difficulties between the parties contending for the ascendancy in that distracted country. The prquinces of Maracai- bo, Menda, and Truxillo, had declared in-favor of General Paez, and manitested a determina: tion to oppose President Monagas. Gen. Paez was at San Fernando, the capital of the province of Apure, with 3000 troops, and had declared his ability to re-establish the constitution of 1830, and to restore to the legislature its prover free- dom of action. The trovps of General Paez had seized the province of Coro, oa the 18th ult., without serious opposition. Two days atter, Pre- sident Monagas despatched a strong force to re- capture it.

The abolition row in Washington is likely to end in something serious, as the red hot slave: holders of that region seem to think that their rights can only be upheld by violence and anar- ehy. Strange as it may appear to Northern fana- tics, there 18 no doubt that nine-tenths of the citizens of Bal:imore would have rejoiced at the racape of their slaves, bitterly as they condemu the interference of abolitionists in rendering them discontented and unhappy. It was a revolu- tion on a small scal id in these days of sym- pathetic congratulations, public opinion 1s turn- ing rapidly towards universal freedom. Who knows but that the French revolution may ulti- mately tend to the extension of liberty in the United States. Such may be the result if aboli- tion fanatics keep ut a distance. I learn that itis the intention of the owners of these slaves to endeavor to sell the whole seven- ty-seven of them to one slave-dealer, on condi- tion that he will bring a vessel up the Potomac, and ship the whole party on board for the slave markets of the south. This is intended as an ex- ample to others, and as a warning to abolition- iste. These slaves, or at least. the greatest portion of them, had the most indulgent masters, being the remnants of large numbers formerty held in dit- terent families, and generally retained as house servants, because of their having been favorites. They and their advisers have bought misery and misfortune on them. ‘he weather has been quite cold during the past night, forming ice in abundance, so that great fears are entertained for the saiety of the peach rob The Holliday street theatre is to be opened on Monday evening next, with Madam Blangy, aod her troupe of dancers.

Dean Sin—In tho account of the fire in Wooster street, given in your paper this morning some errors oc- cur, which, though perhaps not ro apparent to the casuat observer, yet. if not corrected, are calculated to do in. justice and bring reproach upon the parties interested Speaking of the burning of the house occupied bs Engine Co. No. 11, it is stated that ail the hose war burnt, and is wes only with great exertions thatth> spparatus was saved. Let se how far this is sus- tained by the facts in the case, Im the first place there was no engine in the house, uor bas there been in three mouths, the oue intended for the company beingin process of re-building; but by way of precaution, in osse of a fire occurring in the imme- diate vicinity, two hundred feet of hose, with the butts and pipe attached, was kept in readiness on the lower floor cf the house. On the alarm being given on Tuer- day evening, there were taken out and attached to the hydrant on the corner of Prince street; and scarce five miautes elapsed from the time the alarm was given be fore the company were doing effective service in the rear pert of Mr Piate’s buildings; but from the great combustitility of the materials, the fire spread so rapid ty, and knowing the insecurity of the walle, they were forced to retire to the street. Here they were beset with another difficulty; the hose buret,and recourse was bad to the bose in the attic of the engine house. Three lengths, or one hundred and fifty feet, were thrown down, when the density of the smoke drove the mem. bers from the houro, leaving one length, or fifty feet, auill ia the attic. That got cut, was put in immediate service; but so rapid was the progress of the flames, that before they could be withdrawn from the range of the fire, two Jengths were so much burned as to be use- leas. Other companies, | noticed, suffered in the same particular. Thus it will be porceived that one length was burned with the #0, aud two in the street—the remaining five were saved From the above may be gathered sufficient tes! to eet right public opinion in regard to this matte: if you ere of the jealousy with which firemen re ard all matters which would have the least tenuency to de from their hard ey, y will exouse, surely, the liberty I bave takeninaddressing you th-selines; and by ‘iug the necessary correction you will bs doing but an act of jastice.
