Congressional Mousing, The Committee on Elections in the House of Representatives at Washington, in the case of Ilcndrick B. Wright, con testing the scat of Henry M. Fuller, as Representative in Congress from the Lu zerne district, have reported a resolution declaring Mr. Fuller's seat vacant, on the ground that the election was illegal, aud asking a new election. The matter was passed bv informally, but would be c:!!ed iip for final disposition. The district in which Mr. Fuller was elected is strongly locofoco, and of course all that his un principled opponents desire is to refer the matter back, in the hope that a light vote ■ at a special election might send the "jew eller" to Congress. "Well, should a par tisan majority second these disgraceful movements, Monsieur Wright may perhaps again discover that " there's many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip and in that case, his political burial will be as deep as a locofoco senator once assigned to James K. Poik in the event of a certain statement proving true. "The Democratic party -taruL before the country as the only party with principles clearly ilcfiiicd, comprehensive ami liberal enough to embrace the whole republic." Thus exclaims our friend of the Ilolli tlaysbttrg Standard, in an article 44 dissolv ing" the whig party, and immediately below gives the following statement, which we , ... - . ihiiik is proof conclusive that the " demo cracy" is 44 comprehensive and liberal enough to embrace the whole republic," spoils and all, whenever they can get a chance : How THEV no IT. —The present Canal Com missioners, we arc to 1 >l, arc economical, arid ap point economical men (ami a great many of them at that) to office. W c shall riot dispute the assertion, but wc should like to know what kind of economy governed them in giving the contract for the repair castings to Ex-Governor Lortcr. In short, we should like to know what they gain by it. Wc think we have a slight ink- Ji.,gof the manner in which things are working. A week or two ago a boat load of " chairs" for the repairs on the Portage Road, arrived at the weigh-10. k from 1 l:iri i- urg.

It appears, hor. <*< ,- • .< is discrimination has been made of the vci'-ran Kx-Govcruor, and he is allowed to carry i.i re pair materials toll free; nay more, if the truth was known, in ali probability the Kiekapoo talk of his rc-g..vanized excellency induced the economical Commissioners to pay the freight on them. If not. we trow lie will make it off them, in addition lo foil price for his castings. Old Davy is an ah! financier—his political ser vices, ton, are worth something, and he knows it. A day of reckoning might be set apart for the board, but the march of each individual member out of office Will take him so far into obscurity that lie -w ill never be heard of again." 44 Old Davy," who is so handsomely noticed in the Standard, it may not be amiss to say, is a senatorial dcleirate to the democratic convention to norniitatc a lo cofoco candidate for President I Professor Lovatt will gave a second en tertainment this evening at the Town Hall, on his novel invention, the Rock llar ruonicon, consisting of 10 blocks of solid stone, taken from the quarry in it- pritni ture state, and laid on a frame, by which excellent music is obtained.

A number of scribblers httve reeendy been writing to Gen. Scott for his opinions ! on ail sorts of subjects. He has repeat edly declined answering their interrogato ries, referring his inquisitors to the record and teachings of his life. Some months ago he wrote a letter of this purport. 1 j)<Ki this letter ar.d the general propriety of requiriug pledges of every nature front political candidates, the Kennebeck (Maine) Journal justly and properly remarks: " We think the General has hit the nail very nearly on lite head. The " hole history of pol itics shows that expression of opinions extorted from candidates trt this way amount to little, and generally but little weight is given them by- intelligent voters. They serve only to place weapons in the hands of hypocritical, carping opponents, whenever a sentence can be elicited that will bear misrepresentation or twistifica tion. A reply, if it be ever so favorable to the views of the interrogators, rarely makes a sup porter of an enemy. The true criterion where- \ by to judge of a man's future course, (as Gcner-1 ai Scott has very properly intimated) is in his | past history—his well known character, and the principles by which his whole life lias been governed. In these respects, the friends of General Scott fear not the most rigid scrutiny j —nay, they invite it. He has been a public ser vanda!! his days, and no man can put his finger upon aught that is dishonorable or dishonest in his words or his deeds. No stain of speculation or fraud blackens his fair name—no colossal fortune has been accumulated by him at the ex pense of the country, although he has grown old in the most responsible stations of the public service. While holding high military rank, and in a position where war would always serve to increase his honor and re..own, he has still shown himself preeminently a peace-maker, and in several critical energies, war has been averted and bloodshed prevented bv the disinter ested exertion of his best energies and talents M that end. His diplomatic and administrative qualities, as shown iri these delicate and impor tant trusts, as well as in connection with his military operations, are undeniably great. Gen. Scott, then, is honest and capable. Thai lie is patriotic, and a devoted friend of the Union and the Constitution as well as of human freedom, is also undeniable. No man can he found who doubts i'. With ttiis view of his character and principles, ware willing to take him, without electioneering pledges of any sort —feeling per fectly confident that he will administer the gov ernment upon the principles of the honored fratners of the Constitution and the founders of the Republic. Wc honor him for the self re spect he has shown in refusing to cater for pop ularity by replying at length to everybody who wants to know his special opinion upon passing questions of the day: arid we respect him for it the more that he claims nothing at the hands of the wiiigs, but simply consents to seme them as a candidate, if elected by the free, unbiased and independent suffrages of the delegates of the Whig party, in an open and fair convention." The .North Carolina Whig State Con vention brought its session to a close on Tuesday. John Kerr of Caswell county, was nominated for Governor.—A series of resolutions was adopted, the first of which contains a strong declaration in fa vor of President Fillmore, for re-election : the second favors the selection of Graham, for the Vice Presidency. The third ap proves the determination to support the nominee of the W big National Con vention, if unequivocally in favor of the Compromise. The fourth opposes the doctrine of intervention. The fifth dis approves of the public lands being-given for the benefit of the new States The sixth declares the unwavering attachment of the Whig party of the State to the Constitution and the F ition, and declares that all efforts to enfeeble them will he resisted. Other resolutions upon matters of Stale policy, were also adopted. New Cider Milt. The llarrisburg Telegraph speaks very highly of a new cider mill recently in vented by W. O. Ilickok, of Ilarrisburir. "It is a convenient and portable cider mill and press, of the most perfect and compact order, which can be driven by hand or horse power, and made to per form rapid execution. We saw one in operation yesterday, ul his-machine shop, and never saw the work of grinding and pressing so well done before. The ap ples were too expensive to be used largely, oi ting 0 a bushel, but enough was done to show the operation of the mill perfectly, and to the satisfaction of all pr< sent. The eider is pressed from ihc ; irniee without the use of straw, and is < <ii i ijuently much freer from sediment than that made in the usual way." These mills, aud smaller ones, cost only ilio. Governor Kossuth reached Boston on 1 uesilay morning, and was escorted to the •State-House by a military detachment, composed of thirty-four companies. An immense throng lined all the footways. 1 la- State-llouse was almost hidden from view by innumerable flags and streamers, displayed in honor of the city's guest. Hi'S'i'iKcnoK Cot'NTir. —The Whigs of Hun tingdon county held a meeting on Tuesday evening, I,'lth iust., and adopted a series of reso lutions in f ; .vor of Scott, Hoffman, and the Na tional Administration.

CALIFORNIA FORTUNES. —It is calculated that out of every hundred persons who have gone to > alifornia, liftv have been ruined, forty no bet ter than they would have been had they re mained at home, five a little better, four some thing better still, and one has made a fortune. The steamboat Prarie State, whilst rounding out from the landing at Pekin, on the Illinois river, 011 Saturday morning, collapsed the flues of her larboard boilers, killing, scalding and wounding a number of persons, mostly the hands of the bout, or deck pa-sengers.

Nothing was found upon his person except two silk handkerchiefs, inark i ed "1. T." supposed to be the initials of his name. Artificial Ultramarine is made in St. Louis by a German, named Seheller, who learned the art in Bavaria. He says the materials for its man j ufacture are abundant 111 the United States, and i that it can be made here as cheap as in Europe. This pigment is one of the most cusliy which is used in the arts. The Supreme Court of Massachusetts lias de i cided the great Quaker suit, in which about S3OO,UOU worth of property was involved.

EXCAVATING COIN. —The French rogues can remove one side of a silver coin with a very thin tine saw, cut out the silver in the middle, till up with baser metal, solder on the surface again, and leave the piece looking as before ! Most of these pieces altered bear the effigy | either of Louis XVIII., Charles X. or Louis Phillippe. The fraud was first detected at the Bank of France. The deterioration of the j coins thus altered is about seven-tenths. HKAVV SENTENCE OF A WOMAN. —In the Mu nicipal Court, Chief Justice Wells sentenced Margaret Russell, who was lately convicted of j receiving and secreting S2OOO of stoicn money, to fire years in the flouse of Correction.

BURNING OF A STEAMBOAT.- —The steamboat Pocahontas, front Arkansas, bound to New Oi - leans, with 2.360 bales of cotton, took tire on the 16th instant, and w unit to the water's i edge 111 less than half an i.-.-ur. The boat and cargo are a total loss. Ten persons, including ; the late Sheriff of Arkansas, a lady and three of her children, the cabin boy arid two firemen, | either perished in the Haines or were drowned ; in attempting to escape from the burning boat.

A BIG FISH.—A catfish was caught in the Schuylkill, a few days since with a set-net by Richard Swaincott, of Norristown, which measured inches in length, 4f inches be tween the eyes, and weighed 4] pounds. This is not quite so large as the catfi-li u=ed for tow ing flat-boats on the Ohio river, but is a very sizeable article for the Schuylkill. [Catfish 20 inches in length and over are frequently caught in the Lewistown dam.] The two prisoners, Haycock and Winans, who lately escaped from the New Jersey State Prison, have both been retaken. The former became exhausted in travelling from Trenton to New Brunstvick, and his feet being swollen so that he could not walk. Winans left him.

Remarking, in one of his sermons, upon the excuses made by the guests invited to the wedding feast, he ob served that one who had bought five yoke of ox en simply entreated to be excused, while the one w ho married a wife absolutely declared that he could not come. "Hence learn,"said the preach er, " that one woman can pall harder than /ire yoke of oxen." MINNESOTA —A correspondent of the Albany Register, writing from Minnesota, says : "It is a singular fact that the ordinary field birds and songsters so common in old settlements, and also the honey bee, uiikowri here before, have migrated hither with civilized man. The Indi ans say that the rattlesnakes follow in his wake also. Be that as it may, while they are numer ous further down the Mississippi, they have not made their debut into this locality. In the neighborhood of Sank Rapids, however, some have been killed, where, it is said, they were never seen till recently." The Minnesota Pioneer gives an account of a man named John Stean, who was recently found dead on his feet near St. Paul's. He was an Englishman, between GO and 70 years of age ; lie served throughout the Mexican War, and had lust fall built himself a cabin 111 the woods, and shut himself up to winter. His neighbors not having seen him for some time, two of thern went to his cabin, which they found locked, and on opening it, Stean was discovered standing at the loot of his bed, dead, and frozen solid.

He will, therefore, absent himself till Mr Webster retires from the Slate Department. The relations between the two governments are not, however, interrupted. Pennsylvania Legislature. The House has hud under consideration the Senate Judicial Omnibus bill, and pro gressed through several sections. This bill is one of the most important of the session, as, if carried, it will tend to de crease, to some extent, private legislation' and render many difficult questions in law plain and unequivocal. Considerable lime was spent in the discussion of a section which provides that no defaulter shall hold office of any kind under the Common wealth. A bill has been reported in the House by the Committee on Ways and Means, taxing concealed property. The third section provides that assessors of the Com monwealth shall, after the first of June next, apply a signet—sui-li as is used in post offices—to the face of every bond, note or other security for the payment of money, making an impression with indel ible ink on every such security " assessed for 1852," or whatever year the assessment may be made. In the Senate, 011 the 28th, the Secretary of the Commonwealth being introduced, presented a message from the Coventor,re turning with his objections, the bill to in corporate the Mechanics' Saving Institution of Harrisburg. The Committee of Conference on the apportionment bill for the election of Re presentatives in Congress, reported that the joint committee had agreed upon a re port, which was submitted and read, whereupon a tumultuous and excited dis cussion arose, \v ]iich lasted a considerable time. The question was finally taken 011 agreeing to the report, and it was adopted —yeas 19, nays 12. A motion was then immediately made to reconsider the vote, which being agreed to, considerable discussion followed, and the further consideration of the subject was then postponed lor the present —veas 18, nays 14. The Senate then resumed the consider ation of the General Appropriation Bill, which was continued under discussion un til liie adjournment. HOUSE—The House, agreeably to the order, resumed the. consideration of the Judicial Omnibus Bill, which was dis cussed without a vote until the close of the session. A bill to incorporate the Sand Mountain and Laurel Run turnpike road company, in Miiilm and Centre counties, passed the House finally. As the session approaches its close, it is -almost useless to make a note of the proceedings, as half that is done one day is undone the next. Legislation in New Jersey. Our reader* will probably remember that considerable crowing was done by j our locofoco friends over the last Xe vv Jer sey election, which was heralded forth as a great " democratic victory." The fol lowing proceedings towards the close of the session, which throughout was a most disgraceful one, will give some idea of the dignified body who made laws for the Jersey Blues : 1 ' Mr. Speaker! Mr. Speaker!—rap, rap. rap. I offer the following resolution, which 1 trust will be adopted without a dissenting voice : Resolved, That the 1 bricks' in members' hats j he appropriated to the erection of an additional wing to the Lunatic Asylum ! Adopted with immense applause. The following resolution was then offered : Resolved, That the Clerk inform the Senate that this House is now ready to go into joint meeting for the appointment of coroners t hold an inquest on the dead body of the Maine Law, which was adopted. The following was then otic-red by the same j gentleman : Resolved, That Messrs. Sandford and Boyle be invited to dance the Fisher's Hornpipe ! The chair decided this resolution out of or der. An appeal was taken from this decision. ! The Chair—All in favor of sustaining the chair will say 'aye'—the ayes have it! (roars of laughter.) Mr. Speaker—l offer the following: Resolved, To be serious—that the Speaker sing a song. Mr. Speaker—l offer the following as a sub ! stitute : Rt.solved, That Messrs. Ciine, Shay and May hew be appointed to make arrangements for a " shin dig," to be had in the rotunda, and that ; the front seats be reserved for the ladies—Mr. j L'lirie to perform on the jewsharp, Mr. Shay on the tamborine, Mr. Mayhew on the bull-fiddle, and Mr. Young on the bone cassinets. The substitute was unanimously adopted. We shall he much mistaken if the peo ple of that State have not had enough ofj such legislation for ten years at least. — j Puii.ADEl.nri A, April 25.—A stable and two j horses were burned this morning at the corner of 12th and Lombard streets. The SlutUer Hose Company, while returning from the fire, were attacked on Lombard street near Bth, by a gang of rowdies belonging to another company. Policemen Walton and Jones, in attempting to : stop the riot, were attacked and struck with brick and other missiles. They then drew their | revolvers arid fired upon the assailants, and James Gillespie was struck in the back by a ball, and it is supposed is mortally wounded. , The officers have surrendered themselves to await an investigation.
