Mr. Editor?1 arrived here yesterday in time to witness the Presidential electors deposit their votes for Polk and Dallas. The occasion had drawn persous here (rorn all purls of the State, some from mere curiosity, but many more to obtain the certi ficates of the electors to their pure democracy, to their great merits, and to their supeiior claims for A share ot the favors to be distributed by the in coming administration. The Assembly chamber was crowded, and whilst the electors were voting, thirty-six discharges of cannon proclaimed the tact to the whole city. When the final result was declared, u burst of applause broke the death-like btuliie*) which prevailed while the vote was pro ceeding. One might have almost suspected there wus a doubt as to the issue. When so many political men are collected, it is to be expected that various sage topics will be dis cus i-d. Hm the absoihing subject of remarks and speculations was the appointment otitic U. ,S. Senators by the Governor, and the motives which prompted to it. From the observations I heard, it is apparent that the general impression is that Gov. B.mck designed to teward two of his adherents who ttuck to him in defiance of the sentiment ot the great body of the democratic party, and to em barrass and annoy the Governor at the threshhold of his administration. There are some who think that the new Senators were made to gratify the restless importunity of Chancellor Walworth. In his feverish anxiety to obtain the vacautaeat on the bench of the Supreme Court, he has been suspected of urging upon the Executive that this was a matter of so great public importance as to call for the exercise of the high prerogative conferred ui>on him by the Constitution of the United States. The presence of two Sena tors from this State, it was presumed, would secure his nomination beyond peradveuture. Between ov. Boiiek and the Chancellor there is a strong naturalaffinity, as both have been specially noted for fulfilling ?ne scriptural injunction, to provide tor their respective households. Eden. Awful Conflagration of the Railroad Brivgk ?Lots of Human Life.?Harrisburg, Dec. 4, 1844 ?About two o'clock rmoke and fire were seen to issue from the western end ot the Railroad Bridge. A general rush was ihen made by the in habitants to the river bunk, and behold! that beau ttful edifice was wrapt in flames between the third and fourth piers trom the western end. Soon the span fell with a crash into the river, and the IIlines then spread both ways, not mere thun ten minutes beiug necessary tor the destruction of a single span. In this way the flames soon reached the western shore, where, with great exertion, the toll house and tavern Btaud were saved, but some smaller dwellings were destroyed. On rolled the confla gration towards the Eastern shore, none being able to devise and execute a plan to arrest its progress, although an abundance of the opposing element flowed quietly beneath. At length, a number of persons undertook, some four or five piers ahead of the flames, to cut the bridge in two, and thus prevent the fite from extending beyond that point. This was attempted at the Island, about midwav ot the river, but before the plan could be executed the flames had reached the point, and the men were obliged to retreat, leaving the devouring ele ment to pursue its onward course. An attempt was then made to blow up the bridge wilh powder, some distance ahead of the flames; but the explo sion did not remove a single timber. A last effort was then made between the fourth and fifth piers, from this shore, to arrest the progress of the fire,by cutting the timbers and removing the plunks, Acc. Hose were then introduced upon the bridge from the hydrants, and water freely flowed. When the hre reached this point, it lingered until the whole was entirely consumed at the further end ofthe Kpan, and Riving way at the fifth pier, instead of breaking ofl as was anticipated, at the middle, where it was weakened, it broke short off at the fourth pier, and the whole span, with some fifty men and boys upon it, was precipituted into the river. The height of the bridge from the water wssprobably forty feet. One man, by the name ot \ ousling, a shoemaker, was instantly killed, be ? mushed amongst th3 falling timbers, not learn, and several persons were severely in jured; umongst the latter was a son of Thomus De Moss, a lad of some 12 or 14 years of age. The K ail road track is upon the top of the bridge, and the cariinge. way uudernealh, arid fortunately for ihote persons who were in the lower part, the root did not break in with the fall, or but few of them could have escaped. The breaking ofl of the bridge in this way had theeflect of arresting the conflagra tion, as it was completely severed about fifty feel ulnad ofthe flimes. The magnificence of the spectacle, as oue after another ot the sections fell into the river enveloped in iurid flames, while the thick smoke mingled with fitful blazes, ascended fir on high, and the whole section, like one mighty raft of liquid flame, floated down the heedless current, can be better imagined than described. It was about half past 4 o'dock, when the last fatal span fell, and even now whiUt 1 write, long iu the nighttthe blazes aicend from many spots between the piers and far down the river, where the floating fragments have not yet been consumed to the water's edge. Abou' 5 o'clock there was an almost unbroken sheet of fire upon the surface ot the water from the western bank to ilie point where the flimes were arrested. Thu-< has this beautiful structure, which it cost &'85,0(X) to erect, been destroyed in a few horns, leaving only ihe naked piers as monuments of its recent existence. The entire superstructure, ex cept 3 or 4spans on this side, is totally destroyed. The loss to the company cannot be short of sixty or seventy thousand dollars, and I believe there was no insurance, wherefore it is feared they will not be able to rebuild it speedily. Travelling, it is to be hoped, however, will not be seriously inter rupted by the catastrophe, as an arrangement will be made to convey passengers over the old bridge in stages, when they can take the cars at the other side. It is believed that the fire originated from a spark of the locomotive as the western train came in, about 12 o'clock from Carlisle. We have received the subjoined from another source. Killed.?Mr. Yousling; a young man named Shoemaker: a young man named Dumas; a young man Irotn Mechanicsberg, Cumberland co., name unknown. Wounded.?A son of Mr. Brown, tailor, of Har risburg, very seriously injured; Owen McCabe, so dangerously wounded that he is not expected to sur vive; a man unknown, both hands dangerously crushed. Several persons, residents ot the Borough, are known to be drowned, but their bodies have not yet been recovered. Others have had their backs broken and legs und arms ciushed; about fif ty are killed and wounded. The arch was cut between the fourth and fifth piers, and on the end toward the fire. The fire itselt isspurosed to be the work of an incendiary. The Harrtsburg Union adds the following names to the lisi ot sufferers.

(Contusion) Recordkh?Wait a moment! (A pause) Hunt?My motion i* to have txclu lid iroin the repor ter's table of this court, the reporter of the New York Herald. (Immense aensotion?exclamation* of surprise? laughter, Sic ) It la well known that caae* occur, where witnesses are compelled to attend here and to undergo the cross examination of counsel, and very frequently their sayings and doings are held up to the public in a ridicu loua light; not only the parlies themselves, hut the Court and ifs proceeding*. This ban especially been the case with the New York Herald (Sensation?smothered laugh ter and gieat excitement) It is well known to the Court. and is, therefore, unnecessary forme to state, that such epithets us the " Hen roost court," and othera, have bean applied to it. (laughter) 1 *ay that it cant be unknown to the Ccurt, and this course has been from time to time continuid In relation to the parties brought before this court. Now I <lo this. 1 make this motion not in behalf of myself, but of th? witnesses that hate appealed here yesterday?and I have thought |>. my duty to endeavor to improve the condition ot this court of criminal jurisprudence, the moat important court we have. Parties are frequently afraid to come be fore thi* court, and etpecially iu auy case where there porters have taken from any cause malicious and revenge ful feelings towards any paity. I was taught, and have continued to learn, that the courts are the sale guards ol individuals, und that the sayings and doing* should be treated with solemnity and courtesy. There is no doubt but what the lulleat and largeat liberty should be allowed to the publio press, who are established to maintain the right* of the people ; but when they are made the mere vehicles of vengeance, it ia time they were reatricted. In the courts of solemn jurisprudence, which are oreatedto protect the people of the State of New York, persona are iried in cases serious ia their nature; but when these solemn caujes have been gone through with?many ol them may be trifling -they are not only publiihed to the world as being indicted and tried, but they are grossly discolored. A person alter having been tried, or private individuals who has been present at a trial, in this ? eutt, finds at his door the next morning a paper containing a report of garbaged proceedings, ut.erly discolored?not onlr mortifying to the persons themselves, but to the feelings of their triends and families. ( Marked sensation.) Tins j reports have too long been allowed by this Court, and too much liberty has been given to the reporters who have been liberally provided for in this Court at the ex pense of the county. (Great applause, but whether at the liberality of the county, or at Mr. H.'a eloquence, could not be ascertained.) It was not sufficient that I was pur sued by the officers, and the pro codings urged against me to destroy my character, so that my lrienda who have heretofore regarded me, looked upon me in a very differ ent light, and as a very different sort of individual, and less worthy, if not wholly unworthy, the charactcr they had given me. They naturally would do so upon a brutt who had whipped and beaten a poor unfortunate drunken woman with a cane. Now the whole of this waa the mere mite from which was to spring charges of a more malicious character, and for which I was to be persecuted as I have been. As to my position in the matter, here is nearly two columns of the proceedings of yesterday in my case. (Producing the Herald amid shouts of laughter.) In the first place I am paraded as follows? (reading) ?" 7Yiaf of James Hunt Counsellor at Law and Sunday officer, foi un assault and battery wi'h a cane upon Mary Ftrrist" (La'ighter.l ' With a cane." Now, sir, throughout all the unbluhmt proceedings the word cane is used?now, sir, I nid'nt use a cane at all; I struck her with a little whalebone awitch. Mr. PiiiLLira ? A walking stick, sir. (Laughter.) I Rf.cordkr.?Well, sir, won't you point that portion of the report where there is any mis-statement? Unless there is some gross inaccuracy in the report, the Court cannot act iu the matter. Every person has a right to report the procei dings of a court of justice and make auy comments they choose, and the Court cannot help it, unless they mis-report The reporter may make as m-auy comments as he pleases. Hunt ?Well, sir, I want to read somo points- (read ing)?"Hunt?1 want you to answer that question, sir id I not complain of you? Recorder?Well, Mr. Hunt, he did, that don't show his malice towards you, ir you Recorder.? vVuj.Wn, it Wuuid api%at'*uy iriai.that tne Recorder wos laiig.ied at. (Hoars cf laughter.) Is there ony mis-statement, air ? if so, point it out, or hand tbe paper to the Court and we will look over it. Hun r.?Ye*, sir?Yes, sir?there is another point in the examibation of Mr. Martin?(reading)?" fcl-Dont you curry a billy, sir ? A?Yes, sir, here it is?shall I give it to you ? (Shout* of laughter, as the witness produced an insttument consisting of a stent piece cf twisted hide, shod with leudeu balis at bnth ends, which he rhook at the accused, who turned excessively chalky.'' (Roars ol laughter.) Who turned exce*si>ely chalky-chalky,sir Now, sir, I would ask if such was the case I It would appear that I turned chalky?(laughtei)?from fear of the itness using his billy apon me. Recorder ?The Court did not notice the proceeding jr. Hunt.?Now, sir, I caro not individually, hat when I had come voluntarily forward for trial, I dont wiih to have it said that 1 was placid at the bar. (Laughter) I wam't placed the e, 1 came voluntarily to defend myself. Now, I ask if this Martiu did so thake his billy?if it waa not to be noticed by the Court, and if it wusu't so, it ia holding up the witness and me to ridioule, and reflecting upon the Court. One thing more?(reading fast)?"Mr Hunt then got up and made a touching speech about its being very easy for the Court to hurry men to prison, sic., kc. Mr. II. then went on to make the most unwarrantable chargea against the entire city press, but was checked in consequence of one of the reporters getting up and flatly contradicting hia assertion*.'' Now, air, this is incorrect and untrue. That reporter did not contradict my assertion, and as I said then, I lid not know he was in existence until he rose up in his place. I care very little about the matter myself, but I take a deep in tere<t in the character of the Cour:?because this is the snly tribunal where great grievances can be redressed : and I hope that they will fee conducted in a grave anil serious manner. Why, in t he dullest county court in the State, except this city, there is not one hail the latitude allowed. Everybody reacts these report*?children read them und their minus get corrupted so that they get to look up in the law a* a nockery, and are forever ruined. " wish that some more able person, and more competent, than mynelf, would take this matter up and biiug it into notice I now appeal in behalf of myself and rt latives and triends to this Court, to censure such reports, by ex cluding the reporter ot the Herald. (Great excitement.)

During the early part of November last a fire occurred in the dry goods store kept by the decease ), which destroyed nearly ?llthe con. tentr. Shortly after Ordway presented his claims to tho Mu'ual Insurance Company, where his stock waa insured, setting f?rth iu a schedule, made under oath, a loss ot $4,000.

From information recently received direct from the United state* Commissioner, Mr. Cuahing, it appear* that a commercial treaty haa been perfected between thia country and China. The treaty ia reported te be more favorable than anticipated, and much more satiifactory to our miniater tnan the treaty made with Great Britain ia to the Britiah minuter, or, in other worda, that we have obtained by fair, honorable and peaceable mean* more than the English government have by an immenae tx penditure of money and blood.

About seven-eightha of the total valne- of our exports from China comes in tea, an article of luxury to all clastes. Auothur favorabla thing for the Chinese, in their tradu with u*, is the fact that nearly the whole of their products, imported inte thi* country, are duty free, an advantage not enjoyed to *uch an extent by any other nation with which we trade. Although in our commerce with every nation it is important that the productiona of one should not interfere with those of the other, yet It la of still greater interest that the domestic manufacturae and productions of each should find marketa for con ?umption abroad. It will he seen that we take nothing of the Chinese that comes into competition with any of our homo manufactures. Our exports to China are com ? posed chiefly of our most staple productiona, and the de mand in that quarter was gradually increasing, indepen dent of the arrangements which hare sin:e been es tablished.

Our lead mint a will be more actively worked, and our cotton manufac turers constantly engaged in supplying the demand for domestic*. In fact, rvary important interest of tha country must receive an impetus, by the opening of tha China markets to our productions. The probable payment of the interest on the debt of Pennsylvania, due in February, is creating quite ao ex citerent, and baa caused a variety of opinion* aa to the result. The general impression is that the Interest wil 1 not be paid. We annex a communication recently re ceived on the subject, which we give for the bent fit of thoie interested The question of the payment or non-payment of the February interest, by the State of Pennay Ivania, ia being diicuned in the monetary circle* and money article* of tlie leading journal*. Home assert that it will he paid in full?others, that onohalf will be paid in cash, and tha other hall in scrip, and other*, again, thnt no portion of it will be paid. The latter aasertion is,we have no doubt, correct, and lor these leasons In the first place, there cannot, in all probability, be in thetreusnry, on the 1st February, more than one.fouith part of the sum requited to pay the interest. It is rumor ed in Wall street that there is already near $400,000 in tha treasury, but those who give out this statement ferget to mention, at the same time, that $460,000 of thi* i* unavail able, being a disputed matter between the State and the United State*, Girard and Harriiburg Bank*, for money advanced by ihose banks to repair extraordinary damage* to the Pennsylvania Canal, under the administration ef Governor Hitner. This sum is reported annually aa part ol the balance in the treasury, when, iu lact, it has been expended years skice, and onlv require* an act of tha Legislature sanctioning the legality of tha expenditure, to wipe it ott' the treasurer's books. In the next place, we learn from a reliable source, that Governor Shunk I. firm in the opinion that the ulti mate credit of the Slate will be best promoted by defer ring a resumption of the payment of the interest until the condition of the treaiury i* such aa to warrant a belief in it* continuance. A arcond suspension of tb? payment of the interest, would prostrate the credit of the State beyond *11 hope ot recovery, and in hi* opinion tha payment of the interest cannot safely be resumed be lore February, 1H48.
