Desracctive Firs —Between three and four o’clock on Tuesday afterneon a fire broke out in the second story of Allen & McDougall’s extensive ropewalk, situated on Walton street, near Harrison. The ropewalk was atwo story frame building, 900 feet long, the jenny house being three stories and constructed of brick—ali of which was consumed. Owing to the prevailing wind, the fire spread | to six two frame houses, owned by Samuel Wiawall, and Ge oen bmg in the 5 an frem ce exten: 9 the foundry, a two story frame | building, owned by Charles Wooster, and occupied on the lower floor by Messrs.

Tho case of Crimmina bas not occasioned much interest im the pubiio mind, owing (0 the fact that thore was nothing oxira- ordinary . the circumstances connected with the sad | affray which vorminated im the doath of MoHeaury. The quarrel between the prisoner and McHeary origi- ed, itis believed, in some scandals ciroulated by the tor reflecting on the good character of the former's it¢@. MoHeary also owod Crimmins some small amount Of money, about the payment of which there had been s misunderstanding. Crimmins kepta grocery and liquor store im Poll strect, moar Mott, amd had forbidden Mc- Henry visiting his place. Nevertheless, om the 10th of October the latter, in company with four or five acquain- tances, went to the prisoner's store and commenced to drink, While they were thus occupied Orimming came in, and almost immediately an altercation sprang up, McHenry refusing to leave tha store untli be settled for what be owed. The result is told in a few words. Crimmins retired te a reom off the store, procured a sword bayonet, rushed out after McHenry, aad overtking him, stabbed him three times im the back, chest and thigh. It is proper to atate, with- out going deep'y into details, that the conduct of McHenry had previously been im the highest degree provocative, and it was not until Crimmins had boon exsited and an- gered almost beyond endurance, that he committed the deed for which be yeaterday forfeited his life. Though little publicity has been given to this onse, and the public do not appear to have been much interest- ed im the culprit’s fate, still very great efforts have been made on the part of his relatives, friends and counsel te induce Governor Morgan to commute the sentence. But all im vain; the Executive firmly withstood all prayors for pardon, preferring to let the law take its re- gular course, notwithstanding that the jury who con- victed the man, strongly recommended him to meroy, and even Judge lograham interceded im his behalf. Ever since his confinement he has conducted himself in a man- ner which won for him the good wishes of every onc. But till within a few days ago, when the regult of the in- terview with Governor Morgan was made known to bim, he seemed to entertain the greatest hopes that he would not suffer the extreme penalty of the law, and that his Sentence would be changed to imprisonment for life. The digappointment therefere was the more terrible, and ap- peared to come upon him with » crushing weight, which threatened at first to completely unman him. Through the good offices, however, of his spiritual advisers, the Rev. Fathers Duranquet, Mignard and Sanguinetti, he was finally brought to a state of the most remarkable resigna- tion, and expressed himself fully prepared to dic. THE CULPRIT TAKING FAREWELL OF HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN. Early on Thursday his poor heartbroken wife and two little children were in attendance upon him, and spent the whole day with him in prayer and affectionate dis- course. Tho wretched wife and mother was inconsolable, and the prisoner himself, though firm and determined otherwise, was frequently overcome and wept copiously. Between six and seven o’clock the time arrived for sepa- ration. Crimmins had evidently nerved himself for the oocasion, and by a violent effort kept himself from en ex- ternal exhibition of emotion. But his faithful, loving wife was frantic in her grief. In the last embrace she wept and wept as if her crushed heart would break, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the good Father Duran- quet prevailed upom her to calm herself and relinquish the clasp around the neck of tho prisoner. Tho latter spoke little; in fact merely articulated “Farewell,” in a tremulous voice, returned the warm embrace of his wife, kissed her again and again, and them bade adieu to the two children—one a baby only about a year old, and the other five years and a fow months. The long last look with which he gazed after his weeping wife as she left the cell with the two little ones, and the subdued, mournful moans of tho latter, touched the hearts of all who were Presont. After this trying scone was over the prisoner became more composed than ever, and turned his thoughts ea- tirely to the consideration of oternity. He made a con- feesion to Father Duranqnet, and rhowed indi- cations of the profoundest penitence. The time until midnight was spent im prayer and communion with his spiritual advisers, the Rev. Fethers Duranquet, Mignard and Sanguinetti, Roman Catholic priests. Frequently he walked up and dows the corri- dor, ep g kind words to his keepers, Messrs. Finlay, Conningham ond Kellogg, to whom he expressed himself grateful for the kindness they had uniformly shown him. He also visited a fow of the prisoners, and held a conver- sation with Mortimer Shay, who is sentenced to be oxe- cuted shortly for a somewhat eimilar murder. He bade the latter to prepare to meet his fate as a Christian, and hoped that he would meet him in heaven. THE NIGHT BEFORE THE EXECUTION. About twelve o’clock Captain Dowling arrived with a telegraphic despatch from Governor Morgan, in answer to & petition which Mr, Kelly, the Sheriff, had sent im behalf of the prisoner. Captain Dowling announced that all hope was gone, the Governor having for the last timo refused to commute the sentence. The prisoner took the news composedly, remarking that he bad expected as much, and was therefore prepared to die. He thanked Captain Dowling for his efforts, and handed him the following letter, which be desired to have pub- Nshed:— Crry Prison, March 28, 1860. To Cartas Dowuxc :— My geod friond, I think it my duty before I depart from this life to acknowledge my gratitude to you for the inte- restyou bave taken in my behalf.

I die with my best wishes to the good people of New York; for I have geen more friendship since I have been in prison than I ever saw before. So now, dear friend, I am fally resigned to the willof the Almighty, I know I am leav- ing a broken hearted wife and two children after me; but the will of the Lord mast be done. 1 am weil fortified in epiritual matters, through the good priest and the Sisters; I bave received great consolation from them.

May God bless you all. Good bye, Captain. Your well wisher, JOHN CRIMMINS. Atseven o'clock yesterday morning mass was celebrated by Father Duranquet in the chapel of the female prison. The prisoner received the Holy Communion with tho greatest devotion, and at the conclusion of the mass re- ‘Ured to his cell to await the summons of the Sheriff.

[From the Pittsburg Post, March 26.] Owen Stanley, the recognized leader of a large band of gipsies in this country, died a short time since at Madison, Indiana, and his remaios were taken to for inter: ment, beside those of Harriet Owen, a 4 Queen, who was buried there some two years ago. ceremonies ‘were announced to have taken place with great pomp, and roving bands of this singular people were Lape} to Dayton im all directions, to participate in the ceremonies, which were to be of a curious and impoging character, becoming the interment of deceased royalty. In noticing the fact of bis death, we observe that the papers make no remarks upon the character, life and personal history of the deceased. The “Gipsy King,” Owen Stanley, and his numerous family, have frequently visited this part of Pennsylvania, and we know them well. The government of this pocu- liar peopie, among themselves, is patriarchal, the oldest member of the tribe or family receiving peculiar reve- rence and implicit obedience from all its members. The Stanley family of Gipsies, of which Owen was the Patriarch, Chief or King, came to America some seven or eight years ago from England, by way of Canada. Tho Gipsy King was the father of seventeen children, all of whom, we believe, are in America and living. ‘These, with their cescendante, now number about two hundred persona. They still keep up their nomadic, Gipay mode of living, travelling from pl to place, in bands, sub- divided according to circumstances. The tribe is pos- sereed of considerable wealth in horses, wagons and mo- ney—the latter of which they are not averse to loaning to persons in wheel Lange de! pe od confidence. Know- ing themselves suspected; they are naturally = us people, but when once their confidence is Vararel tay sah thed oy phon inner art aldo In_all matters of practical life they are well informed. They drives sharp bargain, are cautious and prudent, and we can say ‘Uhat ihe Stanley family have proved themselves honest, for in all charges made against them, which are not un- nese they inmst upon investigation and come out tri- umphant. ‘We recollect that at ons time when in this city, @ mar from Ohio, swore positively to the o of a horse which was in the posecesion of a member of the tribe and offered for sele at the horse marke}, and he was arrested. After he had, by questioning and cross questioning in- duoed the complainant to swear positively that the horse was hw father’s, Stanley produced the bill and receipt for the purchase of the horse, gave bail for a stay of pro- ceedings for a couple of days, and not only proved his legal ownership in the horse, but also that the man who was said to have been its owner still had his own horse. When the Stanley tribe first came to this country, the father and mother remained in England and joined their children in this country at the request of their son, Levi Stanley, who sent to Englands thousand dollars to aid them and some of the poorer members of the tribe to come to the United States. The old man had many valuable articles which had descended to him from his ancestors, and which he desired to preserve as relics of the olden time. They were silver cups and silver quarts or tankards, which had beea presented to various members of the tribe, by English noblemen and gentle- men, as rewards for feats of agility, strength, running, jumping, dancing, &. When encamped upon large com. mon grounds belonging to the nobiliiy and gentry of England, amusements of this sort were common, but by an act of Parliament, passed about twenty years ago, these grounds were enclosed, and the camp grounds and the grazing of the Gipsies, like the hunting grounds of our Indian tribes, were taken away from them. This fact, together with the fear that the younger members of the tribe might be impressed for the Russian war, in- duced the Stanleys, together with several other Gipsy tribes, to emigrate to America, where they could find plenty of room without being regarded as trespassers. ‘When the Stanleys resolved to come to America, one and all, the question arose as to how they should convey the family relics above spoken of, which were numerous and, beingof silver, valuable. They feared that both in England and in this country the popular prejudice, which sets down the Gipsy as a thief, might induce the authorities to seize them under the supposition that they were stolen, and that thus they might bo putto trouble and delay, or might lose their cherished treasures altogether. They accomplished the affair with true Gipsy cuvning. Purchasing a cask of liquor, they secretly placed the silver ware in it, wrapped up 80 as to deaden the sound, and then entered their liquor for regular exportation at the Custom House. The cask and its valua- ble contents came safely through official bands, and the liquor was uninjured by the valuable deposit which it con- tained. The family are still in possession of these relics, which they regard as heirlooms to be handed down to future generations. Owen Stanley, at the time of his death, was about eighty years of age. He was of very small statue—only about five feet two inches im height—but lithe and active as a cat, notwithstanding his advanced age. When encamped in the vicinity of Pittsburg, at East Liberty, last year, he could leap from the ground upon the back of the largest n= veg as neatly as ever Eaton Stone, the circus rider, could do, Tho whole tribe are remarkable for their longevity, and for their robust health, showing that the nomadic life, with all its discomforts, as we dwellers in cities would esteem them, is conducive to ound bodily vigor and length of days. Now that the patriarch has ceased his wanderings in the land of his adoption, Levi Stanley, the oldest son, will mount the gipsy throne. He is a man of more than ordi- ary intelligence, and with a decided turn for speculation. He is a thorough Yankee in this respect—ready to trade anything be bas, except his wife and children, to turn an honest penny. He is a fine looking man, and his wife is» noble specimen of the gipay race. She is tall and stately, with the presence and the action of a born queen. Her bair and eyes are biack as jet—the latter brilliant and eparkling; her complexion is a dark ruddy brunette: ber features bandsome. Her mein and step are ag indpendent ‘a8 those of the “MacGregor on his native heath.”” With her broad brimmed hat and holiday attire, brilliant with strong contrasts of colors, when we saw her last she looked the queem: as much as Victoria or Eugenia ever could do. The wife of Owen Stanley died and was buried in South Carolina about three years ago, and since the death of the old patriarch, Levi Stanley and his handsome wife are now the Gipsy King and Queen of the United States. Morais tv Boston.—The following is part of the evi- dence of the complaining witness in a case which camo before the Police Court of Boston on the 28th instant, in which a man was charged with keeping a gambling house. John B. Learock, the complainant in this case, said be beard the defendant ask parties to visit the ; thie ‘was at the Museum Saloon, but he could not tell who the parties thus solicited were.

Examination ef the Onteaman, Jacka- lew, Oomtinucd—Iateresting Testime- ny, die., dior ‘Tho examination of Ya-ma, alias Jackslow, the sup- posed murdorer cf Captain J. ¥. Leote and his brother Elijah, om beard the sloop Spray, was reaumed yooterday morning before United States Commissioner Vroom, at the court room over the Jersey City prisea. Long before the opening of the Court a large crowd had gathered around the prison, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Commissioner, aad whea the Court opened the room was immediately fled to iis utmost capacity, aad every oye was strained to catch a glimpee of the Chima. mann ‘Tho prisoner, upom being brought in, appeared quite downoast, and his pleasant, smiling countenance, which he has heretofore wern, had ontirely disappeared, aad he seomed impressed with the belief that his ond is near. ‘He took his seat near his counsel and by the side of the Chief of Police, paying marked attention te everything that was said, and nervously watching every movement that was mado, as if he momentarily expected some im- portant developements or feared that his fate was about to be sealed forever. Fie had om a red flannel shirt, under weath which wase blue onc, a pair of dark pantaloons, and over them « pair of blue cotton overalls. By direction of his counsel, be declines te hold any coaversation with visiters, although he will sometimes communicate, but only briefly and very reluctantly. ‘Mr. Voorhies has deomed this step advisable from the fact, ap he says, that Jackalow cannot properly com- Prehend the questions put to him, and that his answers are, comsequently, often conflicting and inconsistent, and calculated to do him aa injury on his trial. Thus far his stories concerning the affair have been very consistent, ‘and have only varied im cases when he apparently mis- understood the nature of the questions put to him. THR WREOK. As we stated im our edition yesterday, the wreck of the Spray has bee towed from tho Battery te Jorecy City, where she now lies, off Long Point. She was visited yos- terday by a large numbor of curious people, and a crowd remaimed around her up to a late hour last evening. Con- stable Haybeck has the wreck in charge, aad is making an effort to get her upom the beach high emough to clear her cabin of water, and enable him to make a thorough examination. A few articles were fished out yesterday, ‘but nothing important was found. Jackalow persists in his statement that Capt. Loete’s money is im the cabin, locked up. It is gemorally thought that the wreck will have te go om to the dry dock before it can be preperiy examined, and should this be so, it will be several days before the search can be completed, as the dry decks at Jersey City are 80 occupied that they cannot re- ceive her this week. ‘THE EXAMINATION. ‘TRITIMONY OF CAPT.

Our answer te this, is, “ we can do without that vote.” It was obtained by deceiving the people into the belief that Mr. Fillmere could be elected; and as no similar deception ects s weerr ace or wi count vided, aad than two-thirds of it has alceaag self the republican ranks. The remaining third pro! go te the democratic or } aint ei ig Party—those who into the support of Filimore by the falsehoods ieaders, and who were and are men of principle, detest the principles and practices of the present istration—have already joined the republican raaks, will cheerfully suppor’ the nominee of our National vention, be he who it may. We therefore, nO party to conciliate by the Douglas or Mr, Bates. With two-thiras of the Fillmere vote added to the vote of Fremont in 1856—and of this we are morally certain in any contingency—the republi- can party is strong enough to elect anyone of its repre- sentative men which it may think Lec to put im nomi- nation; and this fact it will proclaim trumpot-toagued from Chicago on the 16th of May next. But pose the und te y 001 i Fetes : case were otherwise, and that wo are bo ware under the up, or, to use a milder men who defeated us in buy the lead our of ve ded over the Convea! which made it.

Does anybody believe that Mr. Lane, of Indiana, who presided over the Repab- licam National Convention of 1856, which nominated mont, could have polled the vote given to our ams standard-bearer in that contest?
