ser a the Wednesday there was such a tortible epidemic in Irving place that the Academy w-* closed, several artists being entirely prostrated by it¢ distressing effect of the inaugural. Itis under- stood that they are now convalescent, but the Season is to be cloved on Saturday. The Acade- my habitués have only one evening and one morning performance left, and will undoubted- ly make the best of them. No one can tell ‘when there will be another Opera season. For the next year music and the drama will be at a discount. A grand tragedy in real life is already in rehearsal at Washington, and until it has been played out the operatic and theatri- cal folk may as well assume the willow and wear it with as good a grace as they can. A Sovrce or Corrvurrion ExrinevisHep.— ‘Whatever may have been the shortcomings of ‘the Congress just expired, it has passed one measure for which it is entitled to the thanks of the country. We allude to the amendment of the Patent laws, which provides that all patents lhereafter granted shall remain in force for @eventeen years from the date of issue, and that all extensions of such patents shall be prohibited. We know of no influence which has contributed more to the demoralization of the National Legislature than the sums spent in lobbying to extend the large patent monopo- Mes. Itis impossible to estimate the amount ‘that has been lavished in this way within the last dozen years, but it is to be counted by millions. For the future, thank God, this wource of temptation will be removed, and we shall be spared the disgrace of seeing the votes of our representatives publicly sold for the support of these unjustifiable privileges. The only objection to the amendment is in the length of time given to a patent. Ten years would have been a long enough time. War mw Texas.—We publish to-day some very important news from Texas, including further particulars of the surrender of the federal property by General Twiggs and the attitude of Captain Hill, who has refused to give up his post. It appears certain that the State troops will attack Hill’s force, and the conflict will be all the more bitter in conse- quence of the jealousy and bad feeling which have always existed between the regulars and the Texan Rangers. When the first blow is struck no one can predict with any certainty as to the conclusion of the War, and the scene of conflict will undoubtedly be extended over all the Southern. States. Under these circum- ‘Btances it is clearly the duty of the general government to interfere. In Mr. Lincoln’s in- gugural he states that he wishes to prevent bloodshed, and that he will not force obnoxious ‘officers upon the people of the South. If he Means what he says, why does he not proceed to withdraw all the United States troops from the Southern posts, and submit the plan of ad- justment which that eminently mild and con- Ciliatory statesman, Mr. Chase, promised should follow inauguration? Let us have the adjust- ‘ment by all means. Ox» Ape’s Axa.—It would appear from our Washington despatches that Mr. Lincoln has not forgotten his early experiences in the rail- splitting line. He has brought his old axe to ‘Washington, and has lost no time in proceeding %o chop off the heads of those unfortunate wffice holders who happen to be on the wrong Bide in politics. They say that during the French Revolution more than thirty thousand political executions took place. If Old Abe plies his axe as industriously as he promises, he will put Robespierre, Danton and Marat quite in the shade, Let Pine street tremble ‘and beware. Bay News ror Tcrrmex.—We hear that the proprictors of Northern race courses will be un- able to present any very attractive programmes during the coming spring and summer season. ‘The Southern horses, which are ohiefly relied upon, will all be retained at home, and our races will be very tame affairs. Thus we see that the effects of the secession movement ex- tend themselves to the most minute and appa- rently remote details of social life. INTERESTING FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. ‘Wasmworoy, March 7, 1961. ADVICES FROM CTUNA AND JAPAN. ‘The covernment has received despatches from the East Indies, with dates to the 80th of December. Minister ‘Ward bad left Hong Kong for the United States on the 16th of December, and may shortly be expected to ar- rive in this country. ‘The aspect of affairs in China and Japan was assuming & more tranquil, peaceful solution. Miaister Ward sug. gests the propriety of keeping one or two men-of-var in the China sous, whose duty it shall be to visit the ‘various ports open to commerce in that country; and At will not be long before an immense trade will be car- Tied on between the United States and China and Japan. ‘THE NEW BOARD OF EXAMINERS. ‘The Board of officers, composed of Captain Ringgold gad Commanders Davis and Maury, have been appointed by the 4cretary of the Navy, in pursuance of the recent aval eppropriation act, to examine the data for charte Of the surveying expeditions under Captain Ringgold, Commanders Page and Rogers, and Lieutenant Brook, and to report if they are euch as to justify their publication.

Against the Bill Stolen—Spicy Debate— Bill Amended and Progress Reported— Amendment to the City Charter im the Semate—Resolution Asking for a Report from Superintendent Kennedy, dc. ALspany, March 7, 1861. The biographical eketches of the members, otherwise known as the “Book of Martyrs,” stirred up quite a breeze among them, on its appearance this win- ter. W. D. Murphy seems to have been travelling this year. I knew that he made a number of speeches in favor of the Union ticket last fall, but I was not aware that he had visited Japan; but I see that he gives an ac- count of a member being born there, and at the same time asserting that he did not get the facts from the member in person. He must, therefore, have paid a visit to that celestial spot, and should, therefore, be in- troduced to Boole at once. ‘The bill to confirm the sale of the Middle Dutch church for @ Post Office came up for consideration im the Com. mittee of the Whole this morning. The desk of the mem- bers was covered with petitions from the lobby, making statements which it seems the rural gentlemen took all for truth; and in the face of the fact that the New York city members opposed the bill, the wise, honest and ex- tremely virtuous men from the country, who boast so much of their honesty, advocated the bill. Mr. Cozans moved to strike out the first section, and called for the reading of the remonstrance of Judge Roose- velt against the passage of the bill. The Clerk’s desk ‘was searched, and no remonstrance could be found. The Temonstrance was sent here, and the Speaker referred it to the Committee on Cities and Villages; but there is no evidence that it ever found its way there or out of it. Here is a direct attempt to suppress evidence against the bill. The public desires to know who is the thief in this matter. The remonstrance not being found, Mr. Cozans re-moved to report progress. It was lost by one vote. Every member from New York city, with one ex- ception, voted in favor of reporting progress, yet the gen- tlemen from the rural districts, who know all about New York, have an opinion that they are wiser than everybody else, and therefore favor the passage of the bill, H i F f af i i HL OH i il i ? dee Sage i A [ii B 484 eREPESS SERTRS 2 3 song he vt as it was pt mgm ‘was from ex. 4 ist ratory ei ora Temain Carried tLe names of those who stood high’ in the history's A remonstrance bad beg présented here “es PF Pies 3 s Ha Pp ribecitegiet : uy : 7a ag it of the city of New city, in connection with strance of Roosevelt—without coming to the conclurica that at least there was something tu this matter not seen on the surface.

SHOCKING CALAMITY. Dreadful Fire in Forticth Stroet=Fer- Fible Loss of Life-A Whole Family Burned to Death—Several Persons Badly est-seren Bodies Takem from the jaims—-Coroner'’s Inquest—Interesting Testimeny—No Clue to the Origin of the Fire—Verdict of the Jury, dic., dic. Shortly after six o'clock yesterday morning « fro broke out in the two story and attic dwelling house No. 102 West Fortieth street, near the corner of Broad: way. The flames, when first discovered, wore issuing from the back basement and ascending the stairs. Henry 8. Oakley occupied the second floor, and was the lessee of the house, Sirs. Oakloy was about the first person who emolled tho smoke and gave the alarm. However, but a few minutes clapsed before ® dense smoke filled tho stairway and the upper part of the house, the flames followed up the stairs so quickly that Mrs. Oakley in coming down mot the flames, and was compelled to force her way through them, and in o doing sho was burned severely on the face, neck and hands; her daughter, a young woman about seventeen years of age, was also burned about the face, but not so badly. Mr. Oakley had his hair and whiskers burned and his face slightly scorched. The west garret bedrooms, front, were occupied by Uriah Lewis and James Oakley, the oldest son of Mr. (Cuakloy These two men ewoaped by the window 16 roof to the adjoining house. Lewis we b and Oakley escaped with but slight injury. The back attic bedrooms were occupied by Henry Wood und family, consisting of his wife, five children, and Jane, the servant girl. The ser- vant girl was up and had been down © ‘airs just before the fire was discovered. She escaped, but Mr, Woed, way who, it is said, came part of the way down stairs, and returned back to get his family out, was not again scen alive. Fire Marshal Baker was carly at the pfemises and made many inquiries, but was unablo to ascertain that any one of this family had escaped. Consequently he called the attention of Chief Engineer Decker and,| his Assistant Engineers, Brice and Mitchell, to the fact that ho believed the whole family were burned to death. Engineer Decker, with his accustomed vigilance, ‘at once inatitited a search, which resulted in finding, in the back garret bedroom, the bodies of the whole of this unfortunate family burned to death. Their charred re- mains were extricated by the firemen, under the supervi- sion of Chief Decker. Sergeant Van Hagen, of the Twen- tieth precinct, procured a wagon filled with straw; the remains of the deceased persons were placed in the wag- on, and by the police conveyed to the station house ip Thirty-fifth street. The Coroner was notified. It is feared the fire was not the result of accident, and the Fire Marshal is vigilantly investigating the whole af- fair, It is further alleged that there was no ladder to the souttle, Hence these unfortumate people had no means of escaping from the roof. LST OF THE DEAD. : Henry Wood, native of England, agod thirty years. Julia Wood, native of England, aged twenty-five years. William Wood, aged about seven years. Henry Wood, aged about five years. Julia Wood, aged about three years. Isabella and Jenna, twins, four months old. Mr. Wood was an upholsterer,and had only moved into the house on the Ist of this month. One-half of the basement he oecupied for his shop, and had furniture there. The adjoining half of the basement was occupied by Henry Swarts asa barber's shop. The first floor was occupied as a segar store by Mrs. Catharine Hovey, and the adjoining part of that floor was occupicd by Peter Curren for residence. Two men, named Clark and Gar- vin, ocoupied one of the front attic bedrooms. They at- tempted to escape down stairs, but the smoke and fire drove them back at the time. Mr. Clerk says-he heard Mrs. Wood screaming to save her children. Ho says he ‘was unable to render her any help, and had but just time to save himself by getting out at the garret win- dow. ‘The two upper stories and roof are destroyed, The damage to the building wiil amount to about $600. Mr. Onkley.te insured for $400 on his household effects in the Greenwich Insurance Company. As wo learn, he is the only person insured in the building. ‘The building No. 1,385 Broadway, corner of Fortieth street, was slightly damaged by the roof taking fire through the scuttle. CORONERS’ INQUEST. ‘The inquest upon the bodies of the victims was held at the Twenticth precinct station house, by Coroner Jack- man. The anxiety of the people in the neighborhood to ‘be present curing the investigation, was intense, and it required all the efforts of the police to keep the crowd back, 80 nee were they in their demands.
