r.iOCItfcDl.HUS, OF I'lllLAUFLl'lilA CITY
COUNCIL.
Tkunla;) Evening, Feb. 3, 1833.
Select Council. Mr. smith called up the
following Ordinance, which was offered at a
previous meeting !
An Ordinance to authorise a Subscription 0 i
the part of ihu C ly to Ihe Capital Slock of
the Sunbury nnd Eriu Railroad Company.
Section 1. Be it ordained and enacted by
the Citizens of Philadelphia, in Seleot and
and Common Councils assembled. That ihe
Mayor of the Cily be and is hereby uiliori
zed to subsciibe, in the name of (he Mayor,
Aldermen and Citizens cf Philadelphia, foi
ten thousand shares in '.Vie capiml stock of
the Sunbury and E.ie Railroad Company,
w henever a like tin m bar of shares excepting
hll subscriptions now already wade, shall
have been tubcribed, in conformity with the
provisions of the charter of said Railroad
Company! and in like manner for an addi
tionul ten thousand shares shall have bsen
subscribed as aforesaid by other.
Mr. Perkins offered the follow ins amend
ment, after tha word "subscribed :" ''No
portion of which shall be obtained from any
of the counties or boroughs which may have
already made subscriptions "
The amendment was agreed to.
The question on the bil1, as amended, was
called up. The yeas and nays weie cal
led : j
Yens Messrs, Cattell, PulTee, Hulchinsom
Perkins, Smith, Thomas, Waterman, and
Wctherill (President)-8.
Nays Messrs Hagart, Lattc.ist r and Watt
-3.
The bill was psssed.
Common Couscil Council then took np
a resolution fiom the other Chamber, provid
ing for a subscription to the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad Company of one million of dollars,
upon condition of the same amount being
olherw tse subscribed, and an additional one
million upon the same condition.
Mr. Randal submitted an amendment, pro
viding that the City shoul.l be represented in
the Board of Directors of lha Company, in
proportion to the amount of its subscriptions,
and advocated its adoption as a matter of
right, good policy and of interest to the cily,
Mr. Orns expressed the hope that the
amendment would be agreed to, coucurri'g
entirely in the views of Mr. Randal.
Mr. Diehl was decidedly in favor of the
main question arid, in discussing the amend,
ment, ho held lhat the merits of the original
proposition were fair subjects for discussing.
Me took strong ground in fnvnr of the sub
scription. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad
would in his opinion, bring a very large local
trade to the city, beside lhat from the Lukes
-the latter amounting to one hundred and
ninety five millions of dollars ; it would be a
dividend paving stock, nnd was in his opir.ion,
better than that of the Penns) Ivauia Railroad
Company. lie animadverted upon the su
pineness of Philadelphia in not taking advan
tage of the means of making the cily of Phil
adelphia what the ought to be, in influence,
power and wealth, the first city of the Union.
He spoke of the neighboring cities and States
availing themselves of tho trade of the West,
and sucuring ihe means of wealth und powei
by a spirit of enterprise.
Mr. Deihl quoted the adage that 'procrasti
nation is the thief of time,' emphatically ad
ded that procrastination had been the thief of
Philadelphia prosperity. He adverted to Ihe
fact thai Philadelphia hud lost a valuable
trade with various poi Is in Europe and India,
in consequence of her apathy. The time was
when seven vessels, richly laden with goods
from India, arrived in one tide, and now il
would be astonishing to see that number in
seven years. He was opposed to the amend'
ment, because he thought it would em bar.
rsss the proposition.
Mr. Randal renewed his advocacy of the
amendment. He was out and out in favor
of Philadelphia interests, and he believed the
course proposed by him would conduce to
their protection.
Mr. Uriscom was in favor of proposition to
subscribe, and although he liked the features
of the intendment, he would not vote for it,
because it would tend to em bar tats ihe origi
nal proposition.
Mr. Walborn, i ri quite an energetic speech,
advocated the subec.iption. He wanted
Philadelphia to show her magnanimity, and
to go into the weik with spiiit and determi
nation. He said lhat the charter of the Sui
bury and Erie Railroad Company, allowed
the election of members of Council.", whereas
the charter of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Compiny, does not. He was opposed lo the
amendment, which was calculated to clog
and interfere with the original proposition, j
Mr. Randal, after an explanation, with
drew bis amendment.
Mr. Hinman pioposed to amend, by provi
ding thai the subscription shall be made by
a transfer of the bonds of the Peusylvania
Railroad Company hold by the city.
After some debate the que.tion was taken
and the amendment was lost by a vole of -yeas
2, nays 14.
The question then recurring on the first
ection of the ordinance Mr. Orne moved as
an amendment, an additional section, provi.
ding fur an appropriation of one half of one
per cent of the iiveome fiom the subscription
quarterly, to Ihe sinking fund.
Several members opposed it, on the ground
lhat at the proper time tbe necena.y meas
ure would be Uiea to secure appropriating
to the sinking fund. When the amendment
as disagreed to.
The question was tbea taken en the tesolu.

a Princess of some of the powerful reigning

No mails were received at this place and
Northumberland from Philadelphia, Har
risburg, &,c, Irotn Sunday until Thursday
last, in consequence of Ihe freshet, which
rendered it, perhaps, impossible on one
route, and inconvenient on the other. The
road along the river to Harrisburg has been,
we are informed, somewhat damaged, but
between this place and Potlsville, we have
heard of no obstacle, excepting the loss o
the Uut bridge over the turnpike, at this
place, which renders it necessary to go a
lew hundred yards out of the way, to get
over the rail road bridge. During Monday
the communication between this place and
Northumberland, though not entirely cut
off, was r.ot open for vehicles, but on Tues'
day carriages passed between the two p1a
ces. But still it was not convenient to car
ry the mail, nnd consequently Ihe Haiti'
more and Harrisburg mails, due here on
Monday morning, were led at Northum
berland until Wednesday and the Philadel
phia mail, by way of Potlsville, did not ar
rive until Thursday.
At the next letting of the mail contracts,
our citizens will insist, that the clause
which is supposed lo exist in th" present
con'ract, viz. "to carry the mail when
convenient," shall be stricken out, and
that the mail contractor be required to car-

Railroad, about four and a half miles in
length, including the tunnel, connecting
the extension of the Little Schuylkill Rail
road, has been allotted to Messrs. John S.
Boyer, Jacob Geiger, John W. Horton and
Henry Berkholder, Contractors.
CO" The Miltonian says that some of the
contractors on the Sunbury and Erie Rail
Road, have commenced work between Mil
ton and WilTamsport, and that all the hea
vy sections would be commenced this week.
Since the subscriptions have been made
there is no longer any doubt of the speedy
construction ot the whole road.
3 The late sudden rise in the Susque
hanna, seems to have, in some degree in
undated a portion of most of the towns
along the Susquehanna. The Harrisburg
papers state that the rail road and a portion
of the town was under water, which was
also the case with the lower portion of
Williamiport.
Simpson icceived all tho iniuiies that were
inliieted upon him. It is not true as some of I
Iho nowspapers have staled, that William

him lo be iu liquor but unco before, and no j
man can say that ha is a quarrelsome or evil
disposed hoy.
Bui for the grossly false an I injui ions state

would not have been put forth, ami all lhat
is now asked of the public, is, that il will

sentence of Lewis Hause, at Danville, for
counterfeiting, he gave information that
lead to the discovery of seven counterfeit

a $5 on the Exchange Bank of Pittsburg
and a $2 on the Lancaster Bank.
Or The Miltonian says the Engineers of
lhe Cattawissa rail road, have completed
the survey of the route to Milton, and find
it favorable. We have no doubt that it is
more favorable than the Bloomsburg route
to Williamsport, and besides, only about
half as much road will be required to be
made, to connect with the Sunbury & Erie
road.
