Hj 3 A CON-CERT was given at the Town Hall yesterday evening by pupil, of th Pennsylvania j institution for the Instruction of the Blind, un- \ der direction of Mr. CHAFIK, the Principal, which, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, i was attended by a considerable number of our i citizens, who had an opportunity of witnessing . the progress made by these unfortunates in vocal I and instrumental music, manufacturing Tarious useful articles, needle and fancy work, reading, iVc. The heavy rain having delayed the exhibi tion to an hour at which it was found impossible to do full justice to the programme, the Frin- i cipal has concluded to give another concert mis EVENING, at b o'clock. Admittance 25 cents—children half price. It may be proper to state that the only object in charging an ad mission fee is to defray travelling expenses— the tour being undertaken principally " to ex hibit to tho community the great advantages of Education to the BLIND, in securing their happi ness and means of self support; and also to induce other Blind children to come to the In stitution and receive the benefits which can only j be provided for them." No one, we are sure, will regret paying them a visit. HP Our neighbors of the True Demo crat have procured founts of new type, and made other improvements, which make it a sheet creditable to their industry and enterprise. The Huntindon Globe, Ilolli daysburg Standard, Butler Whig, Indiana Register, and a number of others, have also recently appeared in new dresses, and now make a handsome appearance. We should like very well to enlarge the Ga zette, but as it would require a new press, in addition to other material necessary for that purpose, the expense is considerably more than we can afford. As soon, how rver, as three or four hundred new sub scribers come forward with a dollar in ad vance—and we want none other—wc shall make an improvement in the Gazette be vond anything that has been effected since it has been in our hands. -"v Some of the locofoco papers arc trying to make capital against the Presi dent because he did not appoint a Penn sylvanian to a cabinet office, and many whig papers rrgret the circumstance. We •ee no cause for regret in this matter, and believe, on the whole, that it is better for the whigs of Pennsylvania to be without !: representative in that body—itbeinginore likely that government appointments will be satisfactory to the masses than when made by and with the advice and consent of a cabinet officer. -JV" Since our friend of the Hollidays burg Standard has got an office on the railroad, he has grown to be a perfect un believer, for he not only doubts the 1 1 ieet cornstalk, but don't even believe that if the amendments to the constitution are published in more than one paper in a ounty, the pay of the others is lessened ! If he will take the trouble to refer to the onstitution, and then to the appropriations made by the Legislature in 184'J and 'SO, he can easily satisfy himself of the cor n ctncss of our statement. As for the cornstalk, we shall advise the Colonel to 1 ox .. up, together with some samples of wheat, rvc, oats, and buckwheat, and ship by litst opportunity, when the skeptic can ,ur himself and be convinced that old Mifllin can raise something more than the jieat staples of Binir, namelv, hucklebcr i ■ , vi d J Uraw berries, arid w/ttV•*. 1 Word lo tlie Hliigs ol Uimin We last week issued a call for a County I Meeting to be held on Tuesday evening, ; Oth August, and we hope that the apathy and inditrerence so often manifested on j such occasions—especially by those who j are the lirst to jump at every little ofliee ; that falls within the appointing power of | the State or General Government —will he ! retrieved by a general attendance, and a willingness to aid in doing whatever may ' be conducive to the interests of our party. ; So long as these men, and many others who would like to be considered leaders, I 1 1 stand by with folded arms, leaving the j work to he done by a few, (and in all likc i lihood afterward* find fault with the man : ner it is done) the whigs of Miffiin cannot i expect to succeed. With a party vote j nearly balanced—with many efficient work ! ingmen in our ranks who but need a word of encouragement and a little assistance to present a formidable array to our oppo nents at any election—it is hardly once in half a dozen years that we can succeed in electing a whig to any olfice, and the loco foeos lord it as effectually as though they had a majority of thousands. It is time | to inquire why this is so, and to apply a j remedy. Organization is undoubtedly the j first step, and to this we would call the at tention of our readers, in order that we may do the work before us in the ensuing important campaign as it ought to be done, and if beaten at all, let it be with the | consciousness of having done our duty, j Hut there is no necessity for going into the campaign with no expectation of suc cess. We verily believe that a general determination on the part of each (lis- j trict to do its best—a discountenancing of grumblers and mischief makers—and an effort to give a united support to the nom inees, would soon convince the whigs that loeofocoism in this county is not so strong I as appearances would indicate. It is at j least worth making a trial—the more so, j a9 we this fall owe a duty to the congres sional district which we must faithfully dis- j charge, for wc presume no good whig would choose to have it said that it was owing to his supineness that a free trader represented a district now reaping some of the fruits of low duties on iron. £3P The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania has been duly organized by the appointment of able Professors in the various departments. The lectures will commence in Philadelphia in October next. MR. CLAY'S SPEECH. —This great ef fort of the venerable statesman, delivered in the Senate on Monday week, was pub lished in the National Intelligencer of Friday last, of which it covers ten and a half columns, exclusive of two columns more of incidental debate between him and Messrs. BARNWELL, of South Carolina, and HALE, of New Hampshire. Its groat length will prevent its general publication. The Clarion Democrat, the organ of the locofocos in that county, says when ever the party will raise the question of lor or against Simon Cameron, he goes the whole hog for Cameron, whom he considers a better democrat than nine tenths of those who revile hiin. Simon, it appears, aint kicked out of the party yet, as some of the locofoco papers in dif ferent parts of the State try to make their readers believe. riF* Some lawyers in Philadelphia pro posed to hold a caucus meeting, to consist of two of that class from each judicial district, lor the purpose of adopting mea sures against the proposed amendments'to the constitution, and Mr. Samuel Parke, of Lancaster, has deemed it his duty to make the matter public. Let thetn meet —we venture to say two lawyers from each judicial district can't do much one way or the other. ty A violent thunderstorm passed over Cumberland and Lancaster counties on Sunday evening last, which struck live barns, filled with hay and grain, in the former county, all of which were con sumed ; and killed Mr. Hiram Baughman, of Georgetown, Bart township, Lancaster county. The Tribune states that he had retired to bed in company with his wife, and while lying by her side, the fluid passed down the chimney, killing him, but leaving her unharmed. (" Gov. RAMSEY, the Governor of Minne sota, who has fur sumo time hern abswnl on an expedition into the Chippewa country, around the head waters of the Mississippi, returned to the scat of government on the 7th ult.

FHANCISCUS, whose hardware store has of late years attracted general attention for its neat arrangement and ex tensive assortment, has been appointed agent for the sale of the Waterville Com pany's cutlery, which is represented as equal to Rodger's best. MEMENTOES FOR THE DEAD. —A visit to Messrs. SENDERLANDS' Marble Yard will be amply repaid by a view of some chaste ami beautiful work, of a new style, recently introduced there. Among others, a tombstone intended as a memento for one laid low in early years, will especially attract attention : the headstone is a figure of a cherub, encircled by a wreath of flowers, finished in a style equal to any made ; the foot is composed, first of a sandstone, then a block of white marble, which in turn supports a polished piece of black marble, and on this rests a draped piece with the figure of a finely chisseled sleeping lamb on top. The sides are com posed of slabs of white marble of the Doric order, and the space between filled with sod. It is, we understand, for sale, and will commend itself to parents who wish appropriately to mark the spot where repose the remains of a loved son or daughter. The execution of this and va rious other specimens of art to be found in the yard, is highly creditable to the pro prietors and hands employed. Deaths In the Cities, Cholera, Ac.

Mr. HUSK'S amendment provides that the State ot Texas is entitled to all rights which she po: jessed to the tciritory east of the RioCrande at the day of the ratification of the treaty of Cuada loupe Hidalgo and Bince. A discussion followed, in which Mr. Clay, Mr. Rusk, Mr. Pratt, Mr. Hale, Mr. Seward, Mr, Dayton, Mr. Houston and Mr. Mason, took part. Mr. RUSK'S amendment was then rejected— yeas 12, nays 35. Mr. MASON moved a substitute for Mr. Brad bury's amendment, which was rejected—yeas 20, nays 29. Mr. CLAY offered an amendment reserving the rights of both parties incase the report of tho commission should not be adopted. MR. BUTLER opposed JT. Mr. SEWARD offered an amendment for the admission of New Mexico as a Slate us soon as her constitution is presented, and spoke at length in its support. MR. PRATT opposed it, and insisted that the Senator from New York had avowed doctrines here, for which he ought to be turned out. Mr. PRATT asked the yeas and nays, and they were ordered. Mr. DAYTON requested the Senator from New York to withdraw his amendment. Mr. ('LAY objected. Mr. SEWARD said lie would vote for tho pro position if he stood alone. He proceeded to vindicate it. If lie was expelled, he should still assert that there was a law higher than human despotism—justice was above law. He read the declaration of rights of the State of New Mexico, and stated that the Senator from Maryland could not succeed in his opposition to those principles. Mr. PRATT said if the Senator imputed to him opposition to tliosa principles, he wns bound to say that he had undertaken to say what was not true. The ('hair—Order. Mr. DA YTON opposed the amendment. Mr. HALE said if Senators were to be ex pelled for maintaining that there is a King of Kings aud a l,ord of Lords before whom even stubborn Republics must bend—that there was a law above human government —he must also be expelled. If it was a crime bo would plead guilty to it. lie would not put the Sen ate to the trouble to prove it. It was adverse to tin? constitution, to law, to Divine Provi dence. Mr. PRATT said that it was easy to utter a ' state of facts. I, said lie, have a higher respect for the Most High, than thoso who daily desc- ! crate his name here. * j Mr. 11A*L>:. —Order. Mr. BUTLER. —Tskcdown the words. Mr. HALE submitted the words in writing. They accused him (Mr. Hale)of desecrating the name of the Almighty here. Mr. PRATT. —No— I said "eo frequently desecrated here." The CHAIR said he had so understood it, or he should have arrested the remarks. Mr. PRATT proceeded. If he made the motion to expel the .Senator from New York, !e would include the Senator from New Hampshire with pleasure; if he held the ground that the Constitution was not to be re garded so far ns it protected slavery. Mr. IIAI.E denied that he ever uttered such a doctrine or opinion. Mr. PRATT reverted to his original allega tion, that the Senator from New York hud ap pealed to a law higher than the Constitution ; not to Divine wisdom in harmony with the Constitution. In the Divine power he (Mr. Pratt) wae an humble believer. A'r. BALDWIN read and explained Mr. SEW ARD'S "higher hi u>" speech, showing that it , had been, as he thought, misconstrued. He • leo opposed the amendment ol the Senator j from Now Yoik. Mr. JETKEKHGM DAVIS wca art prepared fur this theological disquisition. He moved an adjournment. Mr. CLAY called the yeas and nays. The motion to adjourn was rejected, veaa 23, nays 27. Mr. CiiAfE said it was bettor to act than threaten. Jf gentlemen chotr, he wished they would move the expulsion of those who main tained the doctrine referred to and just road. MR. FOOTE said lie would gratify the Sena tor, and rnal.a the motion. It he would put the odious principle in distinct language, that Senators were bound to resist the constitution, ho would move liia expulsion. Now, the prin ciple was disavowed, and ingenious 1 }' sought to be explained away, though it was certainly understood by every one, to bave been asserted here in the first speech of Mr. Seward. Mr. SEWARD'# amendment was rejected— yea, Mr. Seward ; nays 42. Jn the House, the SPEAKER announced that the first business in order was the bill reported train the Committee on Agriculture, to en courage agriculture by donating to each head of a family in the U. States 160 ucres of land, on condition of their residing thereon and cul tivating the same; and that the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. BROWN) had the floor. .Mr. BROWN rose and expressed his approba tion of the bill. His judgement, he said, ap proved of the policy of supplying every citizen of this country with a home. Mr. 15. gave notice of his intention to oiTer a resolution for the bill. Mr. STANTON of Tenn., moved the previous question on the motion to refer the bill to the Committee of the Whole; it was seconded, and the proposition was curriwd in the affirma tive. Mr. VORSE moved to reconsider the vote with a view to make some remarks. He de nounced the measure as a monalrous system of corruption for the purposeof lending the power of this government to make voters —they in turn to support the Government. lie con demnsd the thing as a disgusting system of demagoguoism, to which even distinguished Senators woro lending themselves. This was not so in the better days of the Republic. Ha held it to be a roscally, goug ing system, that should he spurned hy every friend to honest industry. The price ot land was low enough, and if a man could not hy his labor acquire sufficient to buy himself a home at such a low price, he did not deserve a home. Mr. HUIIUAHD ot Ala., advocated the policy ot giving homesteads as the best mods of rais ing revenue to support the Government, if that is hy having the lands cultivated —and thus ad ding to tho wealth of the nation —-instead of being permitted to lie idle. The matter was further debated by Mr. BROWN, MOUSE nnd Mc\L UI.I.K.V. WASHINGTON, July 30, (1 o'clock, P. M. "Two important votes have just been taken in the Senate on the Compromise Bill. Mr Bradbury's amendment was renewed hy Mr. Underwood, referring the Texas Hound try to Commissioners, and it w.n pa<.n yeas Sg), n\s 28. Mr. Shield* voted for the amendment, and •Mr Winthrop against It. The motion to lay the bill on the table was lost, yeas 2.5, nays 32 " On Wednesday afternoon the Compromise bill was rt ;(tin tifi'ii up, nnd amendment utter amendment offered until the whole bill was dis membered and nothing left except the part rela tive to providing a territoi.at government for Utah ! This is equivalent to killing the entire bill for which Clay, Cass, Foote, and many others have eo long labored. Telegraphic Despair lug. From our Exchange*. BOSTON, July 2 ft.—Tho lion. Daniel P. King, a member of Congress from the Second District of this State, died yesterday of dysentery, con tracted while at Washington. Reasonable ex pectations of his recovery were entertained until Wednesduy last, when he gradually sunk until he died. The funeral, which was private, took place this afternoon, at Danvers. Mr. Samuel H. Wully, Sr., one of the most noted inhabitants of Roxbury, died at Burlington yesterday. LOUISVILLE, July 26.—Chapman Coleman, Esq ~ son-in-law of Gov. Crittenden, who has been ill for some days past, died on Sunday last, much regretted by a large circle of relatives and ac quaintances. BOSTON, July 2G.—Pearson, condemned for the murder of his wife and two children, was executed this morning, at half-past 10 o'clock. He seemed penitent, and after making a full confession of his guilt, died without a struggle. In his speech upon the gallows, he adjured those who heard him to seek their own salvation. About one hundred persons witnessod the exe cution of the unfortunate Pearson. A large crowd was collected on the outside of the jail —some of whom clambered on the roof of the adjoining houses, and disturbed the funeral ex ercises by their demoniacal shouts. Two well dressed young ladies, before the prisoner left his cell, entered the jail yard, ascended the gallows, and inspected, with looks of great curiosity, the implements of execution. Several other females were admitted to the jail yard, to witness the execution. Upon the scaffold Pearson read hi■ Bible with great apparent devotion. When the cap was drawn over his face, he appeared to be engaged in prayer. He ascended the steps of the gallows with a firm step, and as he walked upon the drop gave a Inst look at the sun and liie scenes around him. His body was taken to Wilmington, his native place and the scene of the murder, for burial. He lost all hope of a reprieve after he had heard of the result of the case of Professor Webster. BALTIMORE, July 30. Capt Hall, of the brig Margaret Hall, from Cienfuegos, bound for Philadelphia, arrived here this morning in the Norfolk boat. Ho reports his vessel totally lost off Cape Hatteras, on the 18th inst. Himself and part of the crew swam a&hofce, but three of the crew were drowned. Capt. Hall reports seeing eight vessels ashore along the coast. The names of three of them are the brigs Bell, Ocean, and Racer, all from Wilmington, North Carolina. NEW YOP.K, July 30. —The packet ship Water loo, from Liverpool, arrived and anchored off Sandy Hook last night. Garibaldi, the hero of the Roman Republic, is on board her. He is to have a great reception in this city. PITTSBURGH, July 30. —Matthew B. Lowrie, Esq., formerly an Alderman in this city, and a gentleman much esteemed for his many good qualities, died on Sunday afternoon from an at tack of the cholera. BOSTON, July 30.—Mr. Wakefield, the apothe cary, who, by mistake, put up a poison which caused the death of Mr. Hall, assistant assessor, was to-day arrested on the charge of manslaugh ter, and gave bail in the sum of SSOOO, to appear for trial. BALTIMORE, July 30.—Officers Porter, M'Kin ley, and Graham, of this city, have arrested at the instance of Z. C. Lec, U. S. District Attor ney, ten Germans, charged with obtaining a number of land warrants fraudulently. Phil a dei.phi a, July 30—0 P. M. The Fckeral Pageant.—The funeral pageant to-day in honor of the late President of the United State* was a magnificent atfair. All business was suspended and most of the stores closed. The procession was about four miles in length, and consumed one hour and thirty-fire minutes in parsing a given point. It is estimated that there were about six thousand persons in the column. The procession moved through the various streets designated, and in all respects was carried out precisely in accordance wit h the published programme. Th city presented a mournful and imposing appearance. Through out the entire route of the procession public buildings, stores and dwellings were shrouded in sable. Flags were suspended at half mast everywhere, and minute guns were fired while the procession moved. Somo of the building* were draped in costly and beautiful style, dis playing much good taste. The weather was exceedingly hot, the thermometer ranging from ninety to ninety-five degrees. A number of persons were so overcome by the heat that they were compelled to leave the ranks. So far as we have been able to learn, all passed off with out accident or anything to interrupt the solemn ceremonies. Bi-ffalo, July 31.—The splendid steamer America, from Sandusky, bound to this port, burst her stcampipe this morning, when about sixty miles from here. Twenty-five persons were scalded. The second engineer and two or three other persons were killed. The America was a regular packet between this port and San dusky. She was a very fast sailer, and only a little over two years old. The loss is estimated at about $50,000. Oswf.go, N, Y., July 31. —A fire broke out about two o'clock yesterday morning in the large building at the east end of the Toll-Bridge stand ing on the canal. The tlames soon communi cated with the ad joining premises, the Flouring Mills of Messrs. J. Pardee and Henry, and the Mill of Mr. Matthews, on the north, which were entirely consumed, with 3 large amount of grain and flour. At the west, the flames were carried across the street, and communicated with the new block of stores erected over the canal by Mr. Jesse Bennett. At this point the engine of the Company No. 'J was caught between two fires, and entirely destroyed. The llames next spread on the south side of Bridge street with great rapidity, and the entire block of buildings lying between the river and First street become a heap of ruins. The bridge was also burnt. The loss is roughly estimated at $500,000. FOREIGN HEWS. The steamship Canada, Capt. Harrison, from Liverpool, July 20th, arrived at Halifax on Wednesday morning last. At the last dates, the American fleet was still off the port of Lisbon, hut the papers furnish no news relative to the difficulty between Portu gal and the United Slates. Little doubt exists but that hostilities, ere this, actually recommenced between Denmark and the Duchies. Jfso, important results are likely to ensue, as a large Russian fleet is ofl the coast, for the avowed purpose of giving the Danes all the assistance they may require. The Queen of Spain has been delivered of a son, who lived only for a few moments. A difficulty has arisen between Spain and Portugal, in consequence of the marriage of the King's sister with Cond.
