George Robetson and Mr. Wart. The Chronicle slates that the fire originated through the carelessness of a young gentle man, a boarder, in whose care the bouse had been left during Mr. Rice's absence. The young man built a large fire in his room and then went o.ut o.n a visit, first locking his door. The (ire being thus left to tske Care, of itself,, soon enveloped the whole es tablishment in ruin. , PICKLINGBEEF, " The Charleston JUereuryi at the request of one of it correspondent, publishes the following receipt for picklincr ' 100 lbs.-of Beef or Pork: Take ef water, six gallons; of salt, half coursand half fine, nme'pounds: of brown sugar, three pounds; of molasses, one quart; of salt-peire, three ounces; of potash, one ounceboil them m aelean pot or kettle, and uke off all the scum as it rises when tbe scum ceases to rise, set the pickle to cool and when it is eold it 1 is ready for use. , .

THE GlUARiTWiLTTCASE. . - The opinion of Judge Story in this casr, is said to be very abler , The" va lidity;ofhe.WiJlJt suit, says the Baltimore Patriot,, was instituted, not on the ground of the ille gality of the will of Mr. Girard in gener al but against that clause of jt which au thorizes the establishment of a college for the education of white male children, between certain ages. It was objected to this clause, that it was void on two principal grounds: First, that1 there wns no sufficient authority under the laws of Pennsylvania, for the acceptance and administration of the- trust by the-cityuf Philadelphia, which was made the al moner of the charityand secondly, that it was not such a clarity as the laws of the country would enforce and main'ttan, because, by the will of Mr. Girard, all ministers of religion, of whatever, ienom ination Were excluded from entering upon the grounds of the college, even as visiters, and that this direction of the will -i, 7 prohibited the teaching of the Cbratnin religion - to the pupils in the school the teaching of religion, it was contended, , being an essential part of all charity endownments. : A NEW IDEA! r-Circumstan'ce apparently, trifling -in themselves have, often led to great and as townding results. ;The falling of a A apple edudu'eted the powerful mind -of Sir Isaac Newton to the diaeovery of a moat .impor tant principle in. natural philoaophy t the quacking ot a goose saved tire imperial, city of Rome; and the blowing of a horn orougnt ao wn tne strong waus owericno. It cannot be regarded as Utopian to sup pose that what has bee may again occur. The little hint, therefore, given in the fol lowing remarkable -d ream of ttrrerree pondent "Swill," may, if properly im proved, speedily give a newace to every domestic circle, and Constant employment to our artists of skill aid merit. It will te" seen that the new idea sou-tested is the proper direction to be given to one of the $trongeit pntmple of our nature, to ml, imituliveneiir, We know several husbands who cannot fail to seize upon' it with ea gcrness and delight; but as all are deeply interested in its results, we shall make no invidious distinctions. We confess we are transported, perfectly carried away with the prospect. On the hypothesis of immediate thorough and successful ex periments, we predicate a wonderful re volution in the social,' moral end physical' condition of the ComnVQTiit. leadinc-to the perfection Of pur'.nature and the comple tion of our happiness. We may have en thnsiam, but we have Wso reason. i A dis position to follow the bad examples of oth ers is what most hinders our improvement andiniures our eniorment.- Everr hu man being is stsmped with distinctive fed tures and qualities of hie own, m the cul tivation of which are developed his high est excellencies.
