NEW BANfiS-COV, rOUOCK.
Gov. Pollock has vetoed two Bills creating
new Banks at Pottatown and Stroudsburg,and
has approved of no less than six bills, to wit;
Tho Mechanics’ Bank of Pittsburg, $500,000:
City Bank of Philadelphia, $500,000 ; Mauch
Chunk Bank, $200,000: Anthracite Bank, at
Tatnaqua, $200,000; New Castle Bank, $150,-
000; and Allentown Bank $200,000; besides
an increase of 3160.000 to the Penn Township
Bank. Thus he has vetoed four hundred thou
sand dollars, and signed bills creating banking
capital amounting to two Millions ! If this
is the way the Governor intends to “ discrimi
nate.’* the people may soon exclaim “God save
the Commonwealth.” Six new Banks, with a
capital of two millions of dollars, created in
ono week ! Think of it. people of Pennsylvania!
And remember, too, this ia a mere commence
ment —five or ten millions more of banking
capital, it is said, is to be added to tho two
millions already created.

Legislature, now in session at Harrisburg I
Must our people quietly submit to the doings
of a set of demagogues and gamblers who are /
misrepresenting them at the State Capitol ?—■
Must the fair fame of our State and the pros
perity of her citizens be blasted,merely because
[ the corrupt crew composing the majority of the
Legislature, can make money for themselves by
the cataslrophy 1 Well, it really would ap
pear so. The men composing the Legislature
wore duly elected, and until they please to ad
journ and go home, they will have the right
and the power to do as they please. That the
majority ip the two Houses arc a most arrant
pack of knaves, is admitted on all hands.—
Their only object is to enrich themselves at the
expense of their betrayed constituents. Their
first step at plunder was to increase their own
pay from $3OO (o $5OO for tho session. The
contest for U. S. Senator afforded another op
portunity for the Know-Nothing members to
line their pockets with bank notes; and now
they are daily engaged in running Bank char
ters through the Legislature at so much for
each one. Thus they go on from day to day
in their villainy and corruption.
When we see our Legislature composed of
I material like the present—of gamblers, liber
j lines, and rogues—it is almost enough to force
the belief upon the mind that our people are not
capahleof self-government. But yet this ia not
the fact—the people arc capable of self-govern
ment. True it is, they may be deceived for a
time; demagogues (some of them wearing
white nock-Hoths,) may, by appealing to the
prejudices of tho people make them forget the
duty they owe to themselves and the Stale, hut
when they discover that they have committed
< an error, they will not be slow to apply the
remedy. And \vc now make the prediction
that nine out every ten of the Know-Nothing
1 members of the present Legislature will fail of
1 a re-election. They have literally covered
! themselves with infamy, and stand condemned
; and despised before the people The voters of
( Pennsylvania took a “kink” into their heads
last fall, and committed the keeping of the
1 State into the hands of Know-Nothing oath
-1 bound knaves. They now sec the effects of the
I experiment, and before many months they will
fed the pressure and the odium. Our Stale
has passed through many trials, and we hope
, she may survive the shock that must inevira

latest from Europe.
The steamship Asia has arrived, bringing
news frum Europe one week later. Attention
was fixed on the Vienna * Conference, which
held its first formal sitting on the 13ih. The
Austrian and Prussian circulars have a peace*
ful appearance, but the manifesto of the Czar
to his soldiers is deemed very warlike. The
allied forces havo rc-opcnod their fire upon Se
bastopol. and. it is said,with good effect. The
Roebuck Committee continued its sessions of
inquiry into the conduct of the war. The Emper
or Napoleon’s journey to the Crimea is believed
to have been postponed. According to the
English occuunts, the late Czar, when last ad
dressing Alexander, advised him to make
peace, even at the risk of tholoss of Russian
influence in the Black Sea. He said that he
hod not believed in the possibility of the Anglo
French alliance. At the Vienna Conference
the four fcascs were read, and the Russian rep
resentative accepted them verbally, whereupon
one of the representatives was deputed to draw
up a protocol, to be signed by all on the next
day, and which would constitute tho basis of
negotiations for peace. Russia has issued' a
circular to diplomatic and consular representa
tives, informing them that there is reason to
believe the present negotiations will terminate
in the restoration of peace. Prussia has re
fused to accede to the treaty of the allies, and
will, therefore, not be permitted to participate
in the Vienna Conference
One Week Later,. —Tho Baltic arrived at
New York on Friday, bringing news one week
later than the Asia’s. The Czar has made sev
eral speeches. One of a mild character, was
addressed to the Diplomatic budy, and another
strong in lone, to the array. A pacific inter
pretation has been put upon them os a whole.
The news from the Peace Congress at Vienna
is, that the first of the Four Points of the guar
antee. placing the Danubinn Provinces under
the protectorate of the Four Powers,was unani
mously agreed to. The Paris correspondent of
the London Times telegraphs, under date of
Eridny evening, ns follows—“ The news from
Vienna appears favorable to peace, and the peo
ple arc disposed to believe that the conference
will be attended with a happy result.” The
aspect of the siege of Sebastopol continues un
changed.
OCT*" There are three papers in New York
which are particularly down on tho ‘d d

isfer, Rochester American, and Buffalo Com
mercial Advertiser, and yet strange to say, the
leading men of these papers are of foreign ex
traction. Lacy, one of the proprietors of the
Register, was born in England. Mann, of the
Rochester Amciicnn, was born in Scotland .and
until he was 14 years of age, peddled itch oint
ment around Edinburgh. Pannelco of the
Buffalo Commerciol—the man of the •twenty
five dollar character,* was an English soldier,
and left tho army one day under the escort of
one drummer and two rope-ends. These are
the men who are now “rallying round the con

The Case op Da. Brale.—On Monday
last, the Supreme Court of this Slate granted
a writ of error tn the case of Bealo, the dentist,
convicted a few months since of an outrage on
Miss Mudgc, one of his patients. The Court
will fix a day when the case will be argued,
and if the reasons arc sustained, a new trial
will be granted, and the case wilt most proba
bly be ccrlioraried to tho Supreme Court for
trial—tlie defendant, in tho meantime, being
admitted to bail.
The grounds upon which the writ of error
was granted, are:
Ist. That the jury, instead of being sworn
in the usual form to try the cause and render
a true verdict ‘according to the evidence,’ was
sworn to ‘try tho guilt or innocence of the de
fendant-*
2d. That instead of being sentenced to ‘.soli
tary confinement at Initor.’ he was sentenced to
“imprisonment at hard lalxw.*

The Alleged’ Forgery .at Washington.
The amount of the forgeries alleged to have
been perpetrated'bj' Col. Lewis L. ; Taylor, of
Mississippi, but for several years a clerk m the
office of*the Pirst.Comptrollcr of tho Treasury
at Washington, is said to be about $15,000.-
The S/nr says :
The forged paper consisted of many of his
own notes, purporting to be endorsed by the
Hon. Jefferson Davis, and other paper purport
ing to be orders from clerics on the djsbtirslng
agents of the bureau to which each is attached,
for their salcries'—drawn in advance bf the
time when due. Twenty or thirty persons,
money lenders, clerks, messengers and confid
ing friends are the victims. The alleged forg-’
er is very respectably connected in Mias., and
has a family there —a wife and seven or eight
children, for whom nil among ns feel deeply in
deed, as no one is more deservedly beloved than
the lady in question in her circle of friends.—
Taylor is a man of intelligence, and heretofore
stood very fair, though always hearing the rep
utation of being heedless and thriftless in mon
ey matters. Gambling, it is supposed, led to
the crime. He left the city on Monday.
A fi. ». PDW-IVOW,
The Lancaster-Xn/c/hgcnrer thus speaks of
the late grand meeting of Know-Nothing con
spirators in that' eity:
The Grand Council of the Pennsylvania K.
N.’s,, met in this city, on Tuesday last, and
continued in session for two days. What par
ticular business was transacted by these secret,
Jacobinical conspirators vve do nut know, to a
certainty; but we presume that as “Q in a
Corner'* is said to have returned to tho city
again, we shall know something about their
movements in a day or two. Amongst the dis
tinguished conspirators m attendance, were Si
mon Cameron, Rev. Professor Tiffany and ex-
Gov. Johnston. Rumor says that Gen. Cam
eron failed in getting the Grand Council to en
dorse lus nomination for U. S. Senator.
The. Freuch Prcu on Pence.
The Assemblcc Nationale has the following
comments on the.jii'ospcty of pence:
“The Emperor Alexander II states that Jip
shall regulate his conduct by the lust act of ms
father. Faithful-to the concessions already
made, ho does not appear disposed to make new
oqea. If, therefore, ns the EuglUhjounials de
clare. the conditions of peace decided on at Lon
don and Paris must not undergo any modifica
tion. wo arc obliged to agree with them that
the state of things tea not chnngcd. mid that
tho hopes which were manifested in so strong
and sirgenerida.inanniT nt the lictvs of the
death of tho 'Emperor Nicholas/ not only in
Paris but in London, and throughout all Eu
rope, were premature. Before wc can foresee
the end of the sacrifices and of the effusion of
blood, there still remains to he solved the ques
tion before which negotiators arc compelled to
slop, and which force alone can decide—name
iy, the taking of Sebastopol. For a moment,
wc thought that the disappearance of the sov
ereign who, by hi.s arrogant altitude, had ren
dered the war neoessarv, might have other con
sequences, and we founded’ our hopes on the
, language of ihc English journals, and on the
terms m which the death of the Emperor of
Russia was announced in the House of Lords by
Lord Clarendon.
The Secretary of Stale for Foreign Affairs
represented it. id fact. t»>an event which might
“exercise n great and immediate influence on
the war. and on the negotiations commenced
for the re establishment of peace.” How can
we reconcile these expressions of “great and
immediate influence,” with the resolution come
lojiotlo change anything in the conditions
previously decided on I Did Lord Clarendon
only mean to speak of the pacilic disposition of
the new sovereign ? It nevertheless appears to
us very difficult to admit that Her Britannic
Majesty’s Secretary of State for Foreign Afiairs
could hove expected from the Emperor Alex
onder 11, anything but the confirmations of the
concessions already made by his father. How
could it be supposed that a young sovereign
would inaugurate his reign by sending an or
der to the garrison of Sebastopol to destroy the
rampnrls which it has defended for the last six
months 1 To destroy its own fortresses is al
ways the most cruel of humiliations for a State,
and certainly could not be expected in this ease.
In a word, if peace cannot bo concluded be con
cluded but at the price of tho voluntary do
mohlion or tho inking of Sebastopol, the Eng
Jish journals are right in saying-that we must
not calculate on a speedy peace ; and we must,
on the contrary, prepare ourselves for a fresh
campaign, ana look resolutely for the sacrifices
which it will require.

Duke Michael, and from her palace to the Min.

turning, he felt himself worse than on the day
i • r ?', The cough and difficulty of breathing,
winch h«d troubled him for some days previous
ly, now increased, His Majesty passed the
night without sleep, but the next day (the 10th
February, 22d, N. S.) he went again to the
same parade-house to inspect the reserve bat
talions of the Somenoffsky and Prcsbrajensky
regiments, and the men ol the reserve half bat
talion ol sappers.
i rom this day, all the symptoms of his mnl«
ady became more severe, and the Emperor did
not leave his room. On the 11th (23d N. K.)
he intended to be present at divine service at
the church,’ but was unable and was obliged to
tako to his bed. In the evening, the disease
appeared evidently oppressive, and dangerous
symptoms began to manifest themselves with
incredible rapidity. Notwithstanding his ill
ness, the Emperor did not cense to occupy him
self with State affairs, and only on the 12th
(24th N. S.) in consequtnec of his medical ad
visers insisting upon it. did he consent to leave
business to the OzarovUch (Alexander.)
When the danger was considered imminent,
Her Majesty the Empress, with painful heart,
decided to propose to her august husband, to
partake ol the Sacrament. It must be obser
ved, that in the first week of the fast the Em
peror had begun to attend the usuol devotional
services of Lent, and from Monday till Thurs
day inclusive, was daily at divine service in the
church, but several times complaining of his
indifferent health, expressed doubts whether he
would be able to complete ibis Christian duty;
however notwithstanding his weakness, he
never would sit during tho service, although he
was urged to do so by the officiating minister.
The Empress embracing this opportunity,
said to him, “as you have’ not hern able to
complete the duty of confession and to partake
of the sacrament, in the first week (of Lentl
would-you not like to do it now, for although
the slate of your health is by no means danger- 1
ous, it might be well, as there have been many
instances where tho partaking of the Holy Sac
rament, has, by God's blessing, nffbrdtd relief
to the sufferers.” “No,” said he, ”1 cannot
perform this holy duly in bed. undressed ns T
am; no, 1 shall do it [ntcron when Tam strong
enough to do it properly " The Empress was
sileni.but perceiving liars in her eyes, ho said:
“You arc crying?” “No. this is from the cold
in my head. ’ A few minutes later, the Em
press began quietly to recite the Lord’s prayer.
••Vou arc praying? Why so ?” “T am pray
ing for your recovery.” “Am I in danger
then ?" “No—Her Majesty had not forti
lude enough to answer affirmatively. “But
you are in great anxiety, you arc tired, go and
rest yourself.” The Empress then withdrew
About three o’clock. A. M. His Majesty snld
to Dr. Mandt: “Tell mo candidly what my
illness is ; you know I hate always command
ed you to apprise mo in good time, if my ill
ness should happen to be scrioiis, in order that
I might not omit the performance of my last
Christian duties.” “I cannot conceal from your
Majesty, that the disease Is assuming a serious
aspect. Your right lung.is attacked.” “You
mean to say that there is a danger of it’s being
paralyzed f” “Tf the disease does not yield to
our efforts, this may take place, but ns yet we
do not see any apnearnnee of it. anil do not lose
hopes of your rccoviry.” “Ah! now T under
stand my position ; I know what! have to do.”
After dismissing tho Doctor, he called in tho
heir apparent, and quietly communicated to
him his hopeless state, adding—“l hope you
have pot yet said anything to your mother.and
will not do so just yet: let my confessor he
called in.” The Rev. Mr. BojanofTwas already
at the palace. Tho Empress came into the
room. While the reverend father was rending
prayers preparatory to confession, the Emperor
blesscl the Empress, and tho Cezarovilch, who
knelt by his bed. After that they left the
room.
Having performed the duly of confession bo
crossed himself, saying; “I pray to the Lord
to receive mo into lliscmhracc.” Then be par

them of his approaching deccnfiowlth firmness,
took leave of. and blessed them all.
Tho words pronounced by him In those fine
red and solemn moments, will be forever im
pressed in the hearts of the bereaved family.—
The Empress exclaimed ! “M3'God 1 Whv can
not I die with thee His Majesty replied t—
“Thou must live for them." and turning to
the heir apparent ,hc saitt: * ‘Yon know that all
my cares, all my efforts were directed to the
good of Russia : my desire has been to con
tinue these efforts, in order to leave the empire
to you In a prosperous slate, safely guarded
from danger without, perfectly quiet and hap

der what circumstances T die: such is the will
of God. It will be hard for you." Tho’tfrand

“Tfit is decreed that I should lose you. I am

me to hear this heavy burden, laid upon mo by

you,” continued ho. (addressing himself to the
august family, who surrounded his dying
couchl pointing to the Empress, "remain ns you
always have been hitherto, in the close ‘bonds
of family afloclion.'"
The Emperor then commanded Count Adler
herg. (master of tho household.) Count Orjofl,
(head of the Corps of Gendarmes.) and Prince
Dolgorovkay, (minister of war,) to be called in;
thanked them in touching terms,for their per
vices, for their “tried dovotednesa, and rccom*
mended them to the heir a ppnrent, hieased them
and took leave of them : and then addressing

The dying Emperor retained perfect presence
of mind when the reverend father began to read
the commendatory prayers, and repeated the
same after him, with feeble voice, but with
calmness, llis voice soon failed. 110 made a
sign to the confessor to approach, pressed his
hand, kissed the cross on his breast, and being
unable to utter a word, made a motion .to him
with his hand ond eyes towards the Empress
and heir apparent, as if asking him to pray for

their hands, but firmly grasped them all tho
time.
At twenty minutes past twelve P. M., Fri

The Elation HtoUl Cincinnati—Further Par*
licnlors of the Outrage.
Tho Cincinnati papers of Tuesday bring ns
full accounts of the disgraceful election riot m
that city on Monday. The Gazette (Whig and
Knoiv-Kothing) has the following version:
Tho election yesterday was a deeply excit
ing one, and was characterized by scenes which
aligned citizens must regret. The fights in
some instances began in the morning with the
opening of the polls. At the Fourth ward there
was a tight, in which several persons partici- 1
pnted. but we believe no particular injury was
inflicted on any one. In the Sixteenth ward
American judges wore chosen. This led to
some hard words and n fight, in winch three
or four persons trere pretty si verily beaten.—
In the Eleventh a difficulty arose early in the
afternoon. It was rumored that the-Oermnns
would not permit Americans to vote, and in
consequence of this rumor a parly of seven or
eight Americans went up to see what uns the
state of tilings and to help their friends to get
in their voles. A German was arrested by the
police officers, and ns they were taking him
away he was rescued, and officer Carry severe
ly beaten on the ground. Tho Americans were
soon informed, and towards six o’clock the
fighting was resumed, in the course of which
a man named Geo. Reeder was severely, and it
is supposed, fatally stabbed Dr. Brown was
hit on the head with a colt and much hurt.and
Mrr Higdon, IVm. Smith and John Leonard
were also beaten more or less severely. Soon
after this a rush was made at the polls, by tho
Americans, the ballot box seized, taken out of
the house, broken in pieces and the tickets
scattered about the streets.
A parly then went up to Jackson's hill to
seize the cannon, which had been used yester
day to Arc minute guns in honor of Jefferson ’«
birth day. The gun wasenpitmd. The sword
was taken from the captain of the gun squad,
and the flag which belonged to it, was carried
off and planted 6n the engine house, where the
polls were. The crowd soon after went down
town, passing by the Ninth waro polls, when
another fight was got up. but the polls having
been closed, thev proceeded 10 the Thirteenth
ward polls, on Sycamore, between Seventh ami
Eighth. As the party was passing with the
cannon, they were assn til ed by inert* (here
assembled, who ilircw boulders at therh. A
general scrimmage then onsued.in which boul
ders flew like had, and pistol-shots were heard
on every side. The Irish gave way when they
saw tho Americans lending their cannon with
ixudders. The windows of the houses in the
neighborhood, into which the Irish retreated,
wore riddled with boulders. One of the bold
dvrs shot from the cannon struck a man not
engaged in the fight, and inflicted a severe
wound on the head. The others went through
the sign of tho Mechanic's and Trader’s hall.
Tho Commercial, (an independent journal.)
after giving a brief account of the various ru
mors and small lights early in the day, thus
reports the subsequent events of the day :
In the fight that occurred about noon a Mr.
Brown was wounded.and the foreman of Frank
Link’s brewery stabbed in the lungs. The
wounds of these individuals were thought to be
dangerous. Many other persons were severely
hurt.
Rumors of alt descriptions were flying thick
ly. The K. N’s. said that there had been
fraudulent voting. The Democrats denied It.
The judges and eJerks of the election protested
that everything had been done on the square,
while sundry excited Know-Nothings asserted
that little Dutch boys had "been allowed to go
up and thrust handsful of tickets into the bal
lot-box.
The Gcrinans had a largo cannon on Jacksons
Hill, and were amusing themselves by firing
over the town occasionally. The K. NV hav
ing whipped the Germans nt the polls, dis
patched a detachment to capture the artillery,
which was done without much loss of blood,ami
the trophy of ficlory’drawn to the Eleventh
ward polls. The sword of the commander of
the German gun squad was also taken, ami
one of the most flaming of (he victors flourished
it continually, and shouted until only a hoarse
gasp answered the most resolute dVorls of his
lungs.
About the polls, when wo arrived, was n
great crowd, cneering vociferously for Taylor
the K. N candidate for Mayor. Many of them
had a little star spangled banner with "Pa])
Taylor” printed on it fixed about their lints,
and nearly all bad the Know-Nothing ticket
pinned to their breasts. The multitude seem
ed to rally around a large banner inscribed
“Janus D. Taylor and the Whole Ticket .” ■
From four to five o’clock but lew Germans
could bo seen except upon ibo outskirts of the
crowd, and they were «(jry quiet. All of them
who had manifested excitement had left the
ground, being .earnestly advised to do so by
American friends. It was evident Chat the
noils were in possession of the Know-Nothings.
The judges were urged to close the dooejind
secure the ballot-box, but they refused to do
so, considering that there was no danger.—
The Mayer was upon the ground, but lie did
not seem to understand that the danger was
imminent. At intcVvalsof about five minutes,
stones and brick-bats flew briskly, causing un
comfortable sensation in the spectators.
Fights were occurring continually. A cry
would bo raised, a rush made, and presently
some poor German who had imprudently ven
tured into the crowd, or some friend of a Ger
man, who had not been sufficiently discreet to
hold his tongue, would stagger from the throng
cove red with dust and bleeding.
About the angle formed by Vino street and
the Hamilton road, the row was Incessant. A
number of individuals, evidently engaged to do
the rough work, charged about with tlery fa
ces, duHty and bloody clothes,looking ferocious
as mad dogs.
We stood upon a pile of sand opposite the en
gine house, and overlooked the scene. Wo saw
one grey headed man, neatly dressed, run for
his life down Vino Street, pursued by half a
dozen furious boys, who recklessly hurled
stones after him. A stout, rough looking man
in an express wagon, who shouted ••Hurrah for
Parran, (the Democratic candidate.) was ter
ribly beaten. A young man of German de
scent, described by a bystander as “a very fine
fellow, quiet and hard working," was whip,
ped unmercifully, and as ho reeled homeward.
I blind with blood and dqst, the blond
copiously from' his face, and one eye swollen
dreadfully from a blow with a stone, an ac
quaintance of life family remarked: " There
now that is a shame, fits mother will faint

crowd pressed about the door—italliuanmad»
several cflorls to pass those who were endetr
rinng to proteetthe box, and finally leapedanT'
on the table where the box was placed, whenJ
there was a gciicral sound of spJiuingwood
occasioned by tho crushing »bf, the chairs ttß dJ
tables—a general shflit. and some fifty
sons rushed In, or were forced ehS'
room. In a moment the ballot box was thrown
out with a considerable-force, Striking a man
on tho shoulder, who stood about one third of
the distance across the street. It then reached'
the ground, and was immediately assaulted by
a large number, who stamped it to fragments
and scattered the tickets far and wide. This
act was perpetrated under the very folds of the
banner inscribed ‘‘James D. Taylor'and the
whole ticket,” and tho cry of the mob, as the
, work was done, was “Hurra for. Pap Tati*
lor I". ■ s
It was said that the box contained nnrthi r .
teen hundred ballots, at .Icastbno
which were for Mr Farrnn. Persons who un
deriook to justify the atrocity of destroying
the box, slated that there had hern chesting
permitted by the Germans,and that tbo ‘tDaleh
bullies refused, during the early port of- the
day, to permit any ballots to be deposited in
the Ikjx that were hot. of tho Democratic
stamp.” ,
One man with a severe cut on his head said
that he had been knocked down because be h«d
stationed himself at the polls and challenged
German votes.
This excitement was terrible, and tbe-Pip
Taylor flag, and the cannon captured bn Jack
son Hill which hod been loaded wilhbrickbafs
were followed down the street by i a nmhitud«
ripe for any outrageous performance tvhatcvcr.
The lenders of the crowd’ seemed to bfi drunk
and if they were not. were certainly raving
maniacs. Warning was given at the Ninth
ward polls .that a mob was coming. »nd the
polls were closed some minutes before silo*,
clock.
The Taylor flag and the cannon were next
taken to the Thirteenth ward, where savage
fighting ensued, with what result-we did'net
learn. The mob then proceeded to groan in
front of (he L'vguncr office, and thence to the
Times office.

the following;
Tt hns often been said that be must have
been a bold man who first ale an oyster.—
This is said in ignorance of the legend which
assigns the first act of oyster-eating to a very
natural cause. It is related that a man Walk
ing one day by the sea-shore, picked up one of
thrsc savoury bivalves just ns it was in the act
of gaping. Observing the extreme smoothness
of the shell, he insinuated his finger between
them that he might feel their shining .surface,
when suddenly they closed upon the exploring
digit with a sensation less pleasurable than he
anticipated, The prompt withdraws! of his
finger wai scar -cly a more natural movement
( Imn its transfer to his mouth. It is not very
clear why people when they hurt their fingers
pul ihun to llitir months; but it isvciy cer
tain ihal they do: and in this case the' result
was most fortunate, Tho owner of the linger
taslefl oyster juice for the first time, as tho
Chinaman in El'a’s essay having burnt fits fin

licious. —he had made a great discovery: so ho
