Sudden Death. —Coroner J. C. Thompson was called upon on Sunday last, to hold an inquest over the body of Mr. John Line, an old and highly respectable,farmer, residing in Monroe township., It appeared, .that, on morning of said day the deceased'had stepped 6ot into his yard, where ho fell, and immediately expired. When discovered, be was taken intodhe house, and every effort made to restore life, btrt to no effect. The jury of in quest rendered a verdict of “death from a stroke of apoplexy.” . Death. ov.Hok. Walter Forward. —The Hon. Wallet Forward died at Pittsburg, on Wednesday week, after an illness of three days, in the Gsih year of his age. Ho represented Allegheny coun ty in Congress for many years; was Secretary ol the Treasury under President Tyler's administra lion, and al one time Minister to Denmark. He was also a member of the Convention which re formed the Constitution of the State. Dp to the lime of his death he was a District Judge of the United States Court. ‘ Supreme Court Decision. —The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Judge Woodward presiding,has decided that, “upon the reversal of a judgment of a’Jpstice of tho peace, upon a certiorari, the award : of execution for the costs is as much a part of the judgment as the reversal ilsell.” j The Town Codncii. and the Chief Buftosss.—Our j Town Council, Tor t/io lasi ibreo or four month*, have j transacted no business of o tiy account, because of the I obstinacy of the Chief Burgess, who look a “Kink" into hia head, and refused lo sign cortaiu Ordinances llial bad been passed by Council. The Burgess, it seems, entertained the idea that he was Governor for Carlisle, and therefore as fully invested with the veto power, ns Gowtnor Bigler himself. When the) Council, therefore, passed an Ordinance on the sub.| jeet of pavements, Gov. Blair (our Burgess.) returned I the Ordmanaco ** with his objections." The Boi-j ougli Uw says expressly that the Chief Burgess shall sign all Ordinances passed by Council, b ut | Gov. Bluir cared nothing for this ; lie insisted that | ho was invested with the veto power, and would use I it. The Council could do nothing el.-e but appeal toj the law, and they therefore hid his honor, the Chief' Burgees, cited before Court. After the case had been staled, the Court informed the Burgess that he ' had been guilty of violating the Borough | Could bo made to suffer for it, and advised him nut to attempt in future to interfere with the Council, but to sign all Ordinances, ns lie was required lo do. So the matter is settled, and it appears that Gov. Blair has not the veto power.

KOSSUTH LIVING AT EASE. Americans, as a people, aro generous to a fault Perhaps no people on tho faco ofGod'4 foot-sloe: laro so easily humbugged by foreign pretenders as Jaro Americans. Our public .lands, oar ij/ar steamers, our sympathies, are, offered to every. “ jjn forlunalo H European, without hesitation, but with aliicrily.' Tho way wo feast every 1 European, und hake fools of ourselves In doing him'or hoy honor is absolutely disgusting, if not immoral. Much as wo sympathised with Kossuth, wo never could see why it was that our people were so lavish in giving him money. There was no ohjoct, no cause, no reason for the lavish expenditure. Kos. flulh had attempted to accomplish an enterprise in Hungary, but hod failed, and ho was compelled to fly tho country. The thing was at an end. Then it was lie carno to America in one of our war steam ers, for the purpose of instructing aur statesmen in their duties, and involving this country in a foreign war. He made a groat many very eloquent and ingenious speeches, sold a great many worthless Hungarian bonds, collected about a half d million of dollars from "green horns," and quietly retired to England,'"whore ho now reposes al case, laughing to himself, no doubt, al Lite credulity of American Yan* kcca. Ho has aolod precisely as wo anticipated.— Ho realised a snug fortune from American vanity and credulity ; and, like a wise man, ho has resolved to enjoy it. Ha will make no more speeches ho says. Hungary and Hungarian bonds will no lon. gcr bo tho themes of Ilfs eloquence; and the bond holders may whistle fur the redemption of the paper promises to pay in their possession. Notwithstanding the severe lessons which have been taught us by Koss ulh and other foreigners, who ; h«vo viei led us will) the professed object of enlisting our sympathies for European sufferers, and appro- I prijled all that was given for public purposes to their private uses. Notwithstanding wo have been so repeatedly and grossly cheated and humbugged by preu riders—wo aro as ready as over to welcome any new adventurer, who may desire lo fill hie pockets nl our expense, and lo laugh nl us for our folly. Wo arc a people fond of show and parade; and aro al ways willing to pay any one liberally who will en able us to make a display. Wo are plain, unsopbis . heated republicans; but aro a 'Uftle' inclined to I follow at tho heels of European aristocrats and no j blcmcn, when they pay us a visit. “ NAPOLEON THE THIRD Hi The Senate of France having reported in favor of the restoration of the Km pi re, and Louis Napo leon having become Emperor, under the title of Napoleon the Third, the farce of taking the votes of the people upon the subject is to be enacted.— There can be no doubt as to the result of the Vute, aa the peoplu are 100 abject in spirit lo resist the i wishes of the new Emperor. If any doubt existed I as to the confirmation of his power by the people, ho would not have submitted the question to their 1 decision. We think it not improbable, that Louis Napo Icon will have increased the dangers and difficul ties of Ins position by the step ho has taken. It will be rather displeasing to the legitimate despots, (who recognize no upstart sovereignties; and uis doubtful whether he possesses the ability to en fotce their respect. Ills mind is of a different cal ibre from that of his undo Napoleon ; nor can lie awaken ilm enthusiastic devotion of iho army which was the main support of the former Empe ror. Louis Napoleon, from all accounts, is bolter calculated lo “trip it nimbly in a lady’s chamber,” ih.ui lo lead armies lo victory—the duration of his power, mny, therefore, depend upon the continu give splendour lo hia throne; and will probably commit the error of surrounding himself with sy cophants and flatterers, instead of men cf probity ' and judgment—and thus give just cause fur dis ■satisfaction. He will “strut his hour upon iho stage,” and (lien may make room for a Bombon. »Such will probably bo the course ol events in Franco.

After leaving the ministry, he removed to Myeratown, then in Dauphin county; ond in 180 G was elected by the people of that county, includ ing what is now Lebanon, a Representative to the Slato Legislature. Ho was twice re-elected, and in 1813 was appointed by Gov. Snyder, Prothon otary, Register, &c., of Lebanon county, which offices he held seven years, Tri 1021 he represen ted Lebanon county in the Legislature; in 1823 he was elected to the by the district composed of Dauphin and Lebanon; and in 1823, having received - (ho nomination of the Democratic parly, he Was elected Governor of the Stale by a majority of 25,739 over Andrew Greoo, the Fed eral candidate. In 1826, he was re-elected Gov ernor almost without opposition, though the Fed eral parly ran John Sergeant. In 1820, he was again a candidate, but Isaac D. Baunard, then in the United Stales Senate, was his competitor be fore the Convention, and for harmony's suite a new man, George Wolf, was taken up, who was elected over Joseph Ritner. Since that peri*.cl, Mr. Shulze has not been in political life, except in 1810, when ho was a member of the Harrisburg Convention which nominated Gen. Harri-son fur President; ran as Senatorial Elector upon the Harrison Electoral Ticket; and afterwards was made President of the Electoral College, After his retirement from office, he removed to Lycoming 1 county, where lie lost heavily by sotpe unfortuiialc J speculations, ond of late years resided in Lancas ter, with some relatives. I Gov. Shulze was a man of respectable, though not commanding talents. His administration of llie government was faithful and judicious, and al though he was induced to leave the Democratic party at tho time Oon. Jackson made war against the United States Bank, lie was always esteemed for his many personal and social excellencies.— While ho was Governor, he had the honor of ten dering the courtesies of the Slate to Gen.
