Mr. Hendricks called up Senate bill No. 24C, supplement lo the net ine.nrpriratiiiiz the l'armers' Bank of Schuylkill county, on second reading. Mr. Forsyth said this bank stood in n strange predicament. It had already viola led its charter, and thi bill wns intended lo cure its defects. Ha read from the report of the bank to show that its circulation wan greater than three time Ihe amount of its assets, and that it had violated its charter in this respect. Mr. Darsie thought the Senator took a false view of the matter. Tho law of 1850 requiring Ihe banks in the interior to keep their notes at par in the city o( Philadelphia changed the law in reference to circulation. To comply with that law, this bank was re quired to keep a part of its afe: in tho city. This was the reason why its assets full short. Mr. Buckalew said he disliked to say any thing against this bank, but he was impelled from a sense of duly to do so. Ho had no doubt but it was now insolvent, and had vi dated its charter. It was not properly or ganized or honestly conducted. A suit was now pending against it, and he was opposed to permitting Ihe Legislature lo step in at this time to its assistance. He spoke nt some length and expressed the opinion that Ihe bill was intended to protect it from the con sequences of its past misconduct. Mr. Darsie said he had examined the bill and that it had no such object or etlect as the Senator apprehended. If it had he would go with him against it. It was alto gethcr prospective in its operation. Mr. Hendricks said he had no anticipated this opposition to this small bill, tie refer red to ihe quarrel that existed in Schuylkil county, in rcferrence lo this institution, ami stated that he legretted he was compelled to take any part in reference to the bill. The quarrel was none of hi. it was a quar rel among politicians, of long standing, and he did not desire lo involve himself in it yet a sense of duty impelled him to state the truth about the matter, as he understood it. He related the facts in reference to llie quarrel at length, and concluded by stating that the piovisiutis of the bill were only in tended to apply lo the future, and could not in the least afreet the past conduct of the Bank. They were perfectly innocent, and he couUl see no reason fur the opposition to the bill. Mr. Buckalew referred to a memorial which he had seen, anil which it was inten ded to lay before the Legislature, containing prave and serious charges against this bank. He desired Ihe bill to lay over until this memorial was printed and laid on their desk and the question was better understood. Mr. Kuukel said that after the. statement of the Senator from Schuylkill (Mr. Hen dicks) he thought this opposition to the bill very strange. Ho referred at some length to the opposition this bank had encountered in Schuylkill county, the political character of the quarrel, and the object and effect of bill pending The discussion was continued for some lime between Mr. Uuckalew aad Mr. For syth in opposition, and Mr. Kuukel in sup port of the bill Mr. Forsyth' submitted an amendment providing that the passage of the bill shall not effect any proceedings now pending against llie bank, w hich Mr. Darsie moved by striking out the pro ptsed proviso, and insert the word hereaf ter" in the bill, so as to make it apply dis liuctly and clearly to future operations Mr. Forsyth then withdrew his amend ment, ami Mr. Kuukel renewed the amendment of Mr. Darsie, which was adopted, when Mr. Forsyth renewed hi amendment and called the yeas and nays on it ; which we as follow : Yeas Messrs.

The city of Philadelphia hail riot at the present lime a cent of sub stantial interest in the road, and perhaps never would have. He had received advi ce to that effect, and being so, the bill ousht not In be passed. Mr. Flanigan thought it wa child' play lo proceed in this way, when it was clear that if Philadelphai did not make her ub-s-Tiptiun nbsolute she could have no control over the Sunbury and Erie road.

On motion of Mr. Slifei, Senate bill No. 214, to change ihe venue of a certain case pending in Dauphin county, to Uniun county wat taken up on second reading. Mr. Kunkel moved to strike out Union, and insert Northumberland coniijy. Mr. Sliler earnestly opposed the motion. He related the circumstances of ihe case. It wa a suit between the administrators of Col. McFadden, of Union county, and the Keystone Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Harrisburg, pending in the Common I'ieaa of Dauphin county. Col. McFadden had been insured in this company, and aftei Ilia death the company relused to pay the insurance money. Mr. Slifer urged Ihe pro. priety and justice of carrying the suit to Union county, where lliu character or the deceased was known, and w here his child ren and heirs would be more likely lo be equitably and justly deal! with. He stated the facts of ihe case at some length. Mr. Kunkel replied, answering ihe argu ments of the Senator, and staling Ihe facts of the case ns he understood them. He stated that the grounds of Ihe refusal on ihe part of the company to pay, were that Mi. M'Fadden had not given his proper nije in the policy of insurance. It was not a ques tion of character, but a question of wilful mistake. He did not urge the trial of the nil in Dauphin county, but opposed it in Union, for the very reason urged by the Senator, that the deceased was so well known in that county. A fair and impartial trial could not be had under Ihe circumstan ces, in that county, and for thai ieaou he desired lo remove the case to Northumber. land. Mr. Haldeman remarked that it seemed to him. fiom what hail occurred yesterday THE SUNBURY. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY K0, IMS. II. H. MASSr.lt, Editor and Proprietor. To ADvtSTiitsi.

Some of the mrmben last week were considerably frightened on finding that they had pasted a bill with t make in it, that is a bill that conveyed, by a trick, some privilege! not intended.

CITY CONSULS AND THE SUNBURT AND ERIE RAILROAD. We were not a little surprised, tome dayt since, to find that the Crly Councilt had suddenly passed resolutions, requesting the Mayor to withhold the proposed subscrip tion of $2,000,000 to the Sunbury and Erie rail road, until further instruction! from the Councils. The following proceed ings, it will be teen, charge Mr. Fallon, the President of the Company, with a breach of faith, in regard to the election of directors. Since then, Mr. Fallon, has come out in a card, a well written and temperate article, which putt quite a dif ferent face on the matter. Mr. Fallon deniet that he committed any breach of faith whatever that he desired the Coun cils to nominate three individuals to rep. resent the city subscription, although, as the i ubicription wat conditional, they were not legally entitled to any, but that he did not agree, nor was he willing, that they should dictate the whole ticket. Some of the city papeis, strongly condemn the pro ceedinga of the Councils, as hasty and ill advised. There were also some protests from the agents ol Erie and Warren Coun ties, on account of their not being allowed Susquehanna railroad. a vote at the election of directors.

Militia Bill. Mr. M'Caslin, re ported in the Senate, on the Sth instant, a bill to enrol the citizens and organize the volunteers of this Commonwealth. The bill proposes to repeal the poll-tax of fifty cents for non-performance of militia duty; requires all volunteer companies, in respect to numbers, to conform lo the regulations ol the U. S. Army ; and to all companies fully equipped, and provided with an ar mory, appropriates a certain sum out ol the county treasury, for armory purpose. plelion, at ihe earliest day possible: And, whereas, assurances were given to members of Councils, as an inducement lo the subset i p tion, Ihat the Board of Directors, so far as re I. ties to the member from the city, should be satisfactory to Councils, which assurance have not been complied with ; Therefore. Resolved, That when assurances of the Board of Directors, as above stated, ate made satisfactory to Councils, and the conditions of the ordinance authorizing the subsctiption are complied with in good faith, the Councils of Philadelphia will be prepared, and will cheerfully cany out what they believe to be the wishes of their constituents, by subscrib ing two millions of dollars lo Ihe capital cock of the Sunbuiy and Erie Railroad Compcny. The supplemental Ordinance, passed by Select Council, in relation to thu subscription to Ihe Sunbury anil Erie Kailroad, gave rise to some discussion. Mr. Diehl made tome remarks in favor ol the passage of the sup plement. Mr. Wulborn opposed it, and con tended thai there had been no breach of good faith on the part of ihe President of the Company or others. Messrs. Smith, Hudall and PoiiUnu advocated the ordinance. On ihe vote being taken, there were 15 ayes. and 3 nays Messrs. Ileuseil, Walborn and Suouden.

And Whbkess, it was known to the Com inissioners, long before the Oclober election Ihat Ihe citizens ot the county were aunosi unanimously opposed to the making of ihe said subseiiplioii, Imvinu so declared iu pub lio meetings, and having nominated anil elected, without opposition, a Commissioner in October, in place of Wilson, whose term wa then about lo expire, on the pround of hi having given pledges to oppose the said subscription And whereas, Wilson and Weaver fre quently assured individuals ciliren of the county, Ihat they had not, and would not make ihe said ubsrriptior. or issue the bond and one of I hem by hi published card be fore the October election, mosi aolemnly de. dared, that he bad not subscribed lo the slock of said Company, and if ha should thereafter do o, ihe people of the county might give him "the reward ef a traitor !" Therefore, Resolved, reason to believe that error of considerable amount have been discovered, which will mate rially uller the former balances, which we would have to be governed by. Their report will be submitted at the April term for continuation, and we will then be able to publish a report that can, we think, be relied upon, as we only want correct uaiaiicca 10 complete our statement.
