J.f^'C&ix;'^., J.-/^ro^^t--lt1 Soon, to-day, a> fire occurred in the loDg oak at Jersey City, where.the freight and passenger depot of the Erie Railroad1 is located- Before the firemen reached the apot0 the depot and five frame build? ings were in flames. High winds' scat-, tered .the sparks and embers in all direc? tions,' and the fire spread to the Pavobia> ferry house and Taylor's oaloop. Other alarms were sounded, and the entire city fire department was soon on baud, but their effprts were partially useless, ' in consequence of the scarcity of water. The New York fire department steamer Fuller, with a number of smaller tug boats; threw immensequaDtities of water on tho flames, but thta dtd little towards extinguishing tho flames. The depot master of the Erie Railroad, assisted by a number of oiti/.eus, succeeded in re? moving a largo nnmber of cars bsyond the reach of the flames, thus materially lessening the loss. It is impossible at the present moment to estimate tbu pro? bable loss, but it will dot fall short of ?1.500,000 ou the buildings, slips.1 and merchandise. ' The loss on the building* and slips falls ou the railroad company, wbije that on the merchandise falls ou the shlppora Bud consignees. A dense a m oke arose from the conflagration.

The new freight depot, wfaioh cost #20,000, has been also destroyed, together with 400 bales;..of cotton, Valued at ?40,000. The greater portion of tho freight in the .old depot was also destroyed, making a loss of $60,000. ; The loaa is. roughly estimated at this writing as follows: Passenger de? pot, ^.pOOr feriy bqildiott $18)0001 ferry bridge, $10,000; new freight build? ing, $20,000; cotton, ?40,000; old freight depot, $15,000; freight, $50,000.

( The Affidavit says McDonald, .who was arrested, yes? terday, and Bidwell are implicated in the forgeries whereby the Bank of England lost $497,000. \\ The ton of Dr, Tyng's church called at the Tombs shortly after Foster'a body was out down, and asked if it could, not be allowed to remain there until after? noon, when it would- be removed to the residence of his wife. ' The request was immediately granted, and, the remains will be removed about dusk.. The pri? soners in the Tombs'have been closely confined, and visitors excluded to-day.

Governor Morton' will, however, use all his influence to accom? plish tbat result. There are quite a number of Senators who desire yet. to speak on it, and several of those who have already spoken want to bo heard once more. If nothing is done with Caldwell, there will not likely bo much time wasted in the Clayton ease. The outstanding legal tenders wore further inoroased to-day by payments from tub Treasury Department to tho amount of upwards of $1,250,000, drawn from the reservo fund of tbe Treasury. Application was made to-day for tbo appointment of Edmond Stophenson, as receiver of the Ball's Head Bank. The decision is reserved. It is stated tbe Board of Direotors, which met to-day, were making preparations to open the bank again Monday. There has been prepared, and will be officially approved by the Seoretary of tbe Treasury to-morrow, tbe first deed given by tbe Commissioner of Internal ?evenue for lands sold under authority of Section 4 of the Aoi approved March 2,1867, which provides tbat tbe Com? missioner of Internal Revenue shall have charge of all real est de which has or shall be assigned, set off or conveyed by Snrchano or otherwise to the United tates, in payment of debts arising under the laws relating to internal revenue, and of all trusts oreated for tbe use of the United Btatej, in payment of such debts due them; and with tbe approval of the Secretory of the Treasury, may sell and diBposo at public- vonaoa upon not leas than twenty daya' ootioe.

Tbo Senate had- beau under the shadow of this arda't mhity fpr many days,, and to the honor and dignity fcfi that body, there had been no exhibition, of partisanship oo^either aide.

' ' Stewart opposed the resolution. The Senate had no right to try the Legisla? ture of Kansas. Oaldwell bad obly done, in an exaggerated degree, what was too prevalent in this country. He believed the American people were waking up to this thing, and the use of money in ? eleotions had to be stopped; but be could not go against law and hia ooneoionce. Ho maintained the testimony waa merely hearsay and unworthy of credence Duriqg his remarks, a colloquy ensued between himself and several other Sena? tors as to what was really proved by the testimony. Pending the discussion, the Senate went into exeoutive session, and then adjourned. BbooktjYN, March 21.?Charles Good - riob, a wealthy real estate dealer, bro? ther of Hon. W. W. Goodrioh, was found dead, to-day, in the basement of one of a row of new brown Stone booses, which he bad just erected. An extraordinary escape of six Com rnunist prisoners from tho fortress of, Port Louis, between Brest and La Bo-1 ohelle, on tbe French ooast, rivals the attempt of Monte Christo to escape from the Chateau1 DTf, as related by Alexan? der Dornas.. The writer, who tells the story in the London Times, says that he and five companions discovered a way from their dormitory to a cellat under it, and determined to make a road from tho cellar to the sea. They sank a shaft in the earth, thirteen feet deep, and ex? cavated a tunnel forty-six feet, till they reached the wall of the rampant. All this had been doue with tbe nails torn out of the woodwork/but when the ram? pant wall was reached the nails were useless. It is constructed of enormous blooks of granite, joined by Boman cement, and is sixteen feet thiok. The prisoners, however, tore a bar ont of a window, and by indescribable labor, ex? cavated a holo through whioh they could creep out on the rooks, whence they es? caped to England. 'Jean Puul Richter says: "To insure modesty, I would advise the education of -the Boxes togother; for two boys will preserve twelve girls, or two girls twelve boys, innocent, amid winks, jokes and improprieties, morely by tbat instinotive sense which is tho forerunner of ma tared modesty. Bat I will guarantee nothing in a school where girls are alone together, and still less where boys are." In Washington, tho other day, a fe? male membor of a colored theatrical troupe went into a dry goods store and called for somo flesh-colored hose. The olerk placed before her a box of blaok etookiDgs, and that impertinent young man has never been able to tell whether he was blown up by nitro-glyoerine, or was struck by a snot from a seventy-two pounder. "Fellow-trabblors," said a colored preaohsr, "ef I had been eatln' dried apples for a week, an' den took to drink in' for a monf, I couldn't feel more swetl'd up dan 1 am dis minit wid pride an' wanity at seoin' such fall 'tenaenoe bar dia evenin'." ? k A VA JAVA ,-A'1-a-'1 r\-7 ^ TlnaiRlBi and Commercial. 3 'Pa'biV, Maroh "21.?Specie increased ?OO.OOOC.
