The Richmond papers are still silent as to the details of the encounter, though it will be seen by the following verdict of the coroner s Jury on the body, that a legal investigation of the matter is about to be made: "An inquest was holder( yesterday up on the body of John li. Pleasants, deceas ed, before coroner Robert T. Wicker, the examination before the jury occupying nearly the whole day. Their verdict was, that Thomas Ritchie, jr. was guilty of the murder of Pleasants in mutual combat had between them on the 25th of Februa ry, and that Peter Jefferson Archer, Wash ington Greenhow and William Scott were present, aiding and abetting in said com bat and in said murder. The coroner has issued his warrant to arrest said parties found guilty by the inquisition." From a lengthy article in the Richmond Whig on the character and virtues of the deceaEed, we extract the following.:— "Mr. Plcasants would have been 49 years of age, some time in March.

Delegates to the World's Conveneloo s Our readers are no doubt aware that arrange ments have been making for some time with a view of holding a grand Convention of represem tatives of the different orthodox religious denoni —inations throughout the world, in London, during the approaching summer—to be denominated the "World's Convention." The great object is to promote a closer sympathy of feeling and action between the various Christian denominations, and secure a more general diffusion of Peace princi ples. .The Convention. bids fair to he . one of most interesting character. and will no doubt call to gether a large number of distinguished Divines and .Christian Professors. We are pleased to observe that the several branches of the Christian Church in this country' are moving in the matter, so that a large delegation will probably be in at tendance 'from the U. States. On the 26th tilt. a Convention of ministers co uected %Oh the Lutheran Church, assembled Frederick, Md., and appointed the following gen tlemen delegates to the London Convention, which will he held in August.

A series of Resolutions were adopt ed by the appointing meeting, declaratory of Whig principles, and pledging undeviating 'devotion to their support. The "Scour & Coora:n" flag has also been thrown to the breeze, as will be seen by the following, whiCh we extract from the jb lished.proeeedings : Booked, That we hail with pleasure, the growing popularity of the Hero of Chip pewa, the brave and gallant GEN. Sco'ri•— the people of America appreciate his worth —and we believe that he is destined to drive the Goths and Vandals from our Capital, who are destroying, with ruthless hands, all that is dear to us ; whose only• aim seems to be to fatten upon the spoils of the nation, and to mock and laugh at the distress which their measures are cal culated to bring upon the p6ople. Resolved, That while we believe that the time has not yet come, when it will be proper to agitate the Gubernatorial queS tion, yet we cannot shut our eyes to the corruptions of the present state administra tion under the imbecile Shunk, and we here declare ourselves the uncompromising opponents of his anti-republican measures ..--and. we ‘ despise his base truckling to the national Administration—and his evident willingness to sacrifice the Tariff and the dearest interests of Pennsylvania at -the shrine of party ; neither ° can we conceal the fact that a large portion of the people of this State are turning their attention to the lion.

Junin County. The Whigs of Mifflin county assembled in Con veffliomon the 21st ult. and appointed Wm. 11. In- WIN, Esq. the Representatisw imogate, and Gen. JAMES PoTTEn, Senatorial Delegate to the Whig State Convention. We notice by the proceedings that our true Whig friend, D. CoorEn, Esq. ad dressed the meeting. Among the resolut ions adopted is the following : ,Resolved, That we hail with feelings of unalloyed delight, the unequivocal mani festations making in all parts of the Union, towards the gallant and war-worn hero of Lundy's Lane and Bridgewater, Gen. WIN- '. FIELD SCOTT, as the next Whig candidate for President of the U. S. and having plicit confidence in his principles and abil ity, and knowing that he would sited new lustre upon Ahe chair once honored by a Washington, a Jackson and a Harrison, the whole people will rally with pride be neath the folds of his conquering standard, and show to the world that they arc neith er umnindlid of past eminent services, nor ungrateful, by elevating their country's de fender to the high post of honor within their gift. Disgusting Spectacle The Ilagerston Herald of Freedom speaks of a most pitiable instance of wretchedness and de pravity which lately transpired in the vicinity of that place, brought about by Intemperance. A short time since an order reached a certain me chanic for a coffin, which was promptly attended to, the coffin constructed and taken to the house of the dead, an interesting child, by the gentleman himself. Upon entering the house, he found the parents of the child in a condition of shame ful intoxication, and its little brothers and sisters bare-footed, ragged and al most naked. After much difficulty and trouble, the gentleman at length sue ceetled in making the requisite arrangements for the burial. - He started for the "final resting placfi of all the living," with the remains of this unfor tunate child of sorrow—now, however, happily relieved by the kind hand of an all-wise Providence from its sulibrings—followed by the father, moth er and children—the former two in a disgusting state of inebriation, and the latter with uncover ed feet tfißl in tattered garments. Ere the lonely funeral cortege had proceeded far, the mother, com pletely overcome by her excessive potations, sank upon the snow, and being unable to rise, was per mitted to lie until the return of the burying.—. That mother, therefore, was prevented from seeing the child of her bosom, which should have been dearer to her than the apple of her eyeslaid in the tomb, by the accursed demon of Intemperance.— Having reached the grave, it was discovered that the fatal influence of Alcohol had even leaped the portals of the sacred ground, and caused the char nal-house to be improperly prepared. In attempt- lug to repair the mistake, the workman lost his "equilibrium," and fell in a perpendicular attitude into the grave, froM which beautiful dilemma he was relieved by the assistance. of others, and the burifil of the corpse finally effected;.

The Baltimore and Ohloßail Road Bill, which had passed final reading in the Senate by a vote of 17 to 13, has been reported in the House. The Koine has had under copideration for several days lhe r general Appropriation Bill—the proposition to reduce the salaries of the Judges having elicited a warm discussion. The Judiciary Committee, to whom was refer red the' petition of sundry colored people of Pitts burg, praying an amendment of the Constitution to give them the right of suffrage, reported adverse ly. After some discussion the report was adopt-1 by a decided vote, only l't voting in the negative. In the House, on the lath ult., 31r. Cochran pre- sewed a petition from sundry citizens of Adams county, asking for an exemption of certain arti cles therein named from levy pnd execution. • On the same day Mr. Bunyan read in his place . an act relative ,to laying out roads in Conod•ago township. -At the same tinfe. Mr. Brough pre 'sewed seven remonstrances against any alteration in the License Laws. On the `2 , ith, Mr. Burrell, from the committee to whom was referred the petition of York coMity for a Jaw making State and county taxes a lien on real estate, and the petition of citizens of Adams county to the same effect—reported adversely. On Monday last, in the House, Mr. Brough pre sented two petitions relative to certain roads in Adams county, one relative to tolls on certain roads, one relative to Common Schools, anal one fin• the repeal of the non-imprisonment law. CongresrOregon. tri - Our National Legislators seem but little disposed to do any business until the Oregon ques tion, now pending in the Senate, shall have been disposed of. The discussion in the Senate has been ansinteresting one, and is conducted with the calm dignity becoming the consideration of so grave a question. On the previous page will be tinind an interesting abstract of the debate on the 26th ult. in which Mr. Webster, Cass, Crittenden,i Colquit.,‘ Breese, Allen, Hannegan, Pennybacker, and Johnson took part. Considerabloimpatience is beginning to be manifested in the Senate as Iva, as elsewhere at the profound silence of the Ad ministration and the conceihnent of the Presi dents real views and designs upon the question. Several strong Itint*gt the wrongfulness of thus keeping the Senate "in the dark," while soliCit ing its action, have been thrown out by different Senators, and it is generally thought, that un, loss a message be sent in by the PreSident with in a few days, the Senate will adopt a Resolution demanding information as to the precise condition i of the Oregon question and the designs of the-Ad ministration in relation thereto. Until this infor- I mation has been obtained the Senate will take no final action in the matter. It seems to be generally believed that the whole ntrovcrsy will be amicably settled upon the ba sis f the -19th degree of latitude, and that a reso- 1 luti t recommending an amicable settlement will be adopted by the Senate in place of those passed . through the House. Oliver Oldschool 'gives the following as the probable Vote in favor of such a . resolution : -Messrs. Archer, Barrow, Berrien, Calhoun, Chalmers, T. Clayton, J. M.

On Wednesday, 'the House of Representatives decided the New Jersey contested election ease-- Mr. Farlee (loco) contesting the seat of Mr. Runk, • (Whig) in consequence of the latter having re ceived the votes of the students at the Princeton Institutions, which the former affirmed to be ille- iral. After rejecting a number of propositions, the question was put on the resolution declaring that Mr. Runk was not entitled to a scat in the House—yeas 96, nays tkl. The resolution was negatived by the casting vote of the Speaker, and tho Whig member retains his seat. We regret to observe that Mr. 31 1 CLEAN voted uniformly in fa vor of every proposition that had in view the rejec tion of Mr. Runk, and supported the motion to ad mit Mr. Farlee! After the above had been disposed of Mr. Saw yer rose and complained of an article in the New York Tribune, from a-Washington correspondent, reflecting upon the personal habits of Mr. S.

Senator Gibbous. 03We have been pleased to observe the almost universal commendation of themanly and indepen dent course of this gifted and high-minded Senator during the unpleasant controversy with his con stituents, so freely expressed by the Press of the State and the People in their late district meetings. it is a deserved tribute to personal worth and integ rity, no less honoiable to the individual, than preg nant with useful instruction his maligners, if they but choose to read aright the-lesson to be learned. The unmanly insinuations of corruption first preferred by Judge Conrad, and the challenge to personal combat by the latter, while writhing under the bitter invectice of Mr. G: in reply to the articles penned by him, have-especially called forth a rebuke well merited by the reckleks disre gard of all the high obligations imposed upon the good citizen by the, requirements of law, mor als and religion. Now we know little personally either of Mr. Gibbons or Judge Conrad, btt there is a legislative independence and dignity, the prop erty of the whole State, to be cherished by every good citizen as a portion of his own rights, and which cannot be assailed. withaut awakening hon , ez.t against him it'll° would seek'to degrade it.

Odd Fellowism in Lancaster. Dalt seems that there is a number °lithe good citizens of the "Old Guard" who have net as yet been sufficiently enlightened upon the subject of Odd Fellowism, fully to appreciate the claims of the "Mystic Brotherhood!' to the confidence and regard. of an honest and ingenuous. people, and who, with their equally unenlighted breihren of the "Yoang Guard," have dared to call those claims in question. The Lancaster papers pub lish a lengthy and strongly worded Remonstrance to the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, a gainst granting the application of the "Independ ent Order of Odd Fellows" of that city for a char ter. The'Remonstrance is circulating through out Lancaster county, and, it is said, has already received several thousand signatures. The Me morialists announce their intention to "show such sufficient reason" as is required by lay why the application should not be granted, and aver them selves ready and fully prepared to prove that so far from being.an institution calculated to foster any "literary, charitable or religious purpose," its tendencies are "illegal, immoral, irreligious, ir reverent, and selfish," and prejudicial to the best interests of t , ociety. The Remonstrance closes with the following reasonable propositions, to test in open Court, under the solemnities ofjudicial re quirements, the merits of the Order. Dare its eulogists accept the issue thus fairly tendered'? We hold ourselves ready to prove be fore this Court in such manner as your Honors shall direct, • 1. That-the charter sought for is not for any "literary, charitable or relig ions purpose," nor for any object mention-, ed in the act under which they have filed their petition. 2. That the 'objects of the society arc selfish, exclusive and immoral. • 3. That the tendency of the Order of Odd Fellows is irreligious, immoral and Anti-Republican. If these things are denied by the petition ers, we humbly pray your Honors to direct an issue to the Court of Common Pleas, or District Court of this county, to try their Truth before a jury of the county. If they should not be denied, or be round true, We earnestly pray your honors not to charter this mass of selfishness, this• nursery of aristocrats, this great iniquity. And we will pray, &c.
