Hard Times—Mr. Buchanan.—The mon grel Opposition are industriously at work try ing to make the people-believo that the Presi dent is the cause of these hard times. . The times have been Worse in England, Prance and Germany than here—the poor clas ses have suffered more, and more business men hiave been broken up. Did Mr. Buchanan make the hard times there too? Democrats will not be led away by such silly allegations. Mr. Buclmnniu is just as much responsible ftr-the prevalence of tlie yellow fever in Charles ton and-' New Orleans, as he is for the hard times. The swindling paper money, shaving shops, who caused the whole of the monetary revulsion, would be very glad _to shift the re sponsibility from their own shoulders to those otMr. Buchanan. Tt is “no go,” gentlemen.—• The people are not so stupid os to swallow that. The Washington Union of Wednesday last contained thftJMlowinp item, of information rd olive to-thc contract for the supply of pipes for the Washington aqueduct,- about which the Opposition have been endeavoring to nmnufac-' turn political capital for some weeks past: ••Wo understand that the contract of Mr. Lawrence Myers, of Philadelphia, for cast-iron .pipes for the Washington aqueduct, was yes terday forleited, on tho recommendation of the engineer in. charge of the work, for the reason that the contractor has not complied with its provisions by delivering the thirty inch pipes within the time specified—'viz; the first of Oc tober. "The contract was given to Mr. Myers,though not the lowest bidder, because he offered to de liver these pipes within the spccifled time. It is clearly proper, thefeforn, that having failed in this condition, tho contract should bo for feited. Fisher. m 105 "Wo may also state that, as the pipes arc required for the service of the aqueduct as soon as possible, we presume they will be purchased from our own makers, who may be able to de liver them soonest; aAf thus, this matter, which has been a sore trouble to some of our friends in Pennsylvania, will, bo settled in a manner satisfactory' to all parties except tho defaulting contractor.” It was never proved that tho contractor for these pipes had engaged them from Scotland, although this \vas what the Opposition prints asserted. . But whether the fact icas so, or not, is now of no consequence. The Scotch pipes have not “come up to time,” and the contract is again open to our own manufacturers. There can be no doubt, now, that all the pipes needed by -the Government, will be made and purchas ed at home, if any of our iron manufacturers really want a job.’ It is for them to say wheth er they will secure the work or not. And they will observc that price is not so much of an ob ject with the Government as time. So that they need not fear any underbidding from for eign makers or iheir agents. Lot us see how many of our Pennsylvania iron masters ®rrill compete for this contract, and thus show that they would rather work for the Government, , than denounce it. 35 31 28 23 V Allison.

That our manufacturersare suffering, we.do not doubt, and no one regrets it more than we. But it is from the depression in all sorts of business, and and mor^,'. particularly in enterprises requiring large investments of capital, like.railroads, and not from foreign competition. There is no de mand for iron at this time, and therefore if the duty upon it were.entirely removed, the con sumption would not be increased. Pennsylva nia interests require n change in tmfpresent tar iff, which was reduced by Blnck.Bepublioan and Know Nothing votes. But such a change will not, of itself, Restore good times.' That will be the work of time, andpalience,and and economy.. vJUI the Territories Free. • IV'"' Tlio fact that slavery has no foothold in any of the organized Territories of the United States, is an unanswerable argument against the Black Republican charge that the Democratic party, when in power, favors the extension of slavery.

Bloody Affray.— The Courier;' of Louisville,. Ky.; of the 21th ult., gives the particulars of a shooting affair at that locality. On Saturday afternoon, an affray occuryed in front of Wo. Ciller’s cigar store, on Third street, which re sulted in the death of D. L. Ward, at the hands of R..K. Lindsay, Both printers. Lindsay was passing down Third street, and was accosted by Ward, Ward using very abusive epithets, call ing him a " d—d rat;” and finally,striking him in the face. Lindsay immediately drew a pistol and fired, the ball entering the left breast. Ward walked a few stops, onotred the Democrat office, and died in less than half an hour. Hiou Life.—A gentleman in New York in. lormed the editor of the Fayetteville Observer recently that ho had paid 51,500 for a pew. in Dr. Alexander’s (Presbyterian) Church, and that besides, it was subject to a ground rent o( $BO a year. This wo consider, paying pretty ex travagantly for the privilege of grace. Short and Sweet.—About sis weeks ago.

Simultaneous Death of Brothers.—Tho South Reading Gazelle, Massachusetts, of last Saturday says “ Died in South Reading, of typhod fever, on last Sunday morning, Stephen Putney, aged 24 years. Qn Monday morning, Jonathan Putney, brotfier of Stephen, aged 30 years.— The' latter hadrbeen sick for several months, and- his sulterings, a considerable portion of tho time, were most severe. Tho disease of Ste. phen might, perhaps, have been caused by at tendance upon,- and extreme anxiety concern ing his brother. They had always lived in the family together, and when they know that they must die soon, it was their expressed desire that they might die together; and they died together, and were buried together, and • now rest side by side in the same grave!” . The New-York Crystal Palace Destroyed by ' Fire! bqi|d}ng qf globs and iron, known as the Crystal Palace, located on Sixth Avenue, between Fortieth and Forty second streets, in the city of New-York, was dcstroyedby fire oh Tuesday evening, October 5, and is now a heap of ruins. About 5 o’clock, smoko was seen issuing from a large room in tho north nave, and in front o( the entrance on Forty-second street, and in Jess than half an, hour thereafter the Palace was a total wreck, and nothing now remains of this edifice but a heap of unsightly ruins. Tho octagonal tur rets at each corner still remaip standing, while here and there on every side niay be seen slacks of iron, the remains of staircases, and portions of the frame-work composing the galleries.— The groat Annual Fair of the American Insti tute was being held in the building at the time’ and it is supposed that there were about two thousand presons present when the alarm was given. In the rush to get out, large numbers of persons became separated from their friends and families, and for a long time many were running about in'deep distress, in the fear that their companions had not been so fortunate as to escape from the burning building. It has been ascertained, however, that rio- lives were lost. The Palace was filled with valuable goods, models of inventions, choice manufac tures, and, indeed, every possible symbol of the industry and skill of the city and Stale ofNew- York, all of which were completely destroyed. They were the property of some -3,500 exhibi tors. Frederick W. Gcissenhainer, Esq., the Chairman of the Board of Managers of the American Institute, estimates the. amount of properly in tjje building destroyed at nearly $500,00Q. It is stated that there is a policy of insurance on the articles in the building in fa vor of the bond-holders and city for $50,000. The cause of the fire remains unknown, but Mr. Qeissonhainer thinks it the - work of an in cendiary. There was no fire used within two hundred feet of the spot where the flames, were first discovered.-; • . The Crystal Palace was erected in 1853, by an incorporated Company, for' the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations held in that year.— Its original cost was about #750,000. Some six months ago, it passed into the possession of the City Authorities of New-York, and was by them transferred to the American Institue. 1858, A Precocious Forger and Mail Robber, —A’ few days since, the Postmaster of New Or leans, arrested Michael; Hertz, a lad of -16, in the act of signing the receipt for a valuable let ter, addressed to John McMurdo, of that city. Several valuable letters have been mysteriously taken from the Post Office since last May, and the police have been on the watch for the ab stractor lor some time. Receipts for most of these have been given in this boy’s handwrit- ing, and he has. even forged endorsements of checks and drafts enclosed in these letters and got theth cashed at the city banks.;; How the bank officers could be-deoeived by bis bungling forgeries is a. matter of wonder to everybody.. On breaking open the boy’s trunk at his fath er’s house, a pocket book was found, containing #165, and two notes for ®loiooo, drawn by a merchant of Ccntrevil!e, ta., for acceptance on a firm of New Orleans, due Ist March, 1859. He was committed for trial. Washington cbrrespondent of the New York Times writes:—•' We had a little uxcitemement the other day in an elopement case. A young journeyman .printer in the printing office of Thomas Buell & Blanchard, ran oft with the daughter of our judgt? of. the orphan’s court two or three days since. The was poor but perfectly honest and re spectable. The girl moved in the' higher cir cles-of life—and was but; sixteen. ; The judge and his son came to the printer’s working of . fice-—-wuh,pistols and raw, hide say some—and were very indignant, but upon learning that the couple had. gone through the ceremonies correctly—getting a license and.married accor ’ ding to law, they were pacified, and, both ; doubtles concluded to make the best of it." ALLEGED FULFILMENT OF TWO DREAMS.—A correspondent of the Missouri Republican re lates a singular instance of the alleged fulfil ment of dreams. A Mr. K——, of this city, about a year since, had a dream that there was a spring near Alton; or Altona, in .Illinois, that would cure him of a painfdl disease with which' he hadbecn afflicted lor five years. On the morning after the dream Mr. K ’s wife told him she was much-troubled at not recollecting Something that she had dreamed would cure him. Struck with this coincidence, ho wrote to the postmaster of Alton, of which place ho had not heard before, to make inquiries into the matter, and the result was ho learned that there was such a spring, on the farm of Major Long, at a place once called Altonn, and Ibng known forlhe virtues of its mineral waters. —. Thither the invalid wont,.and by a judicious use of the water, diet, and exercise, he improv ed so rapidly in health" that in the course of five weeks he could walk ten miles, and he was speedily restored to a state of. robust health. Earitv of a true Gentleman.— Perhaps a gentleman is a rarer thing than some of us think for. Which of us can point out many such in his circle; men, whose aims are gener ous, whose truth is constant, and not only con stant in its kind, but elevated in its degree; whose want of meanness makes them simple, who can look the world honestly in the face with an equal manly sympathy for the great and the small ? We all know now a hundred whose coals arc very well made, and a score Who have excellent manners, and one or two happy beings who are what they call in the in ner circles, and have shot into the very centre and bull's eye of fashion ; but of gentlemen how many 1 iX?” Louis Napoleon has givcjn orders for tho construction of a haval battering ram—a ship proof against tlie onoray’s guns, and capable, from its immense mass and great velocity, of running against and sinking vessels selected for destruction.

IX7” Very polite—a man in Jersey Shore, the other day, as lie passed a hen on"her neat was heard to say, “Don’t rise, ma’am!”’ How a Lady Saved her liTe, -but Lost her Jewelry and Passage. Money on the, Austria. cinnati Gazette, arrive'dhomo yesterday from a visit to Europe, where she Ims been spending the past few months. A short time previous to the sailing of the Austria, the lady sent the amount necessary for . a cabin passage to New York, 1 to the agent, at Hamburg, with instruc tions to select her . a good stateroom'.. lie did as directed with'the exception of giving her a desirable location in the vessel, and on her arri val at Hamburg, to sail with the steamer, she found the vessel so crowded with passengers, and, tlic room assigned to her so undesirable, that she concluded to take passage in another steamer. With this intention, she applied to the agent for the return of her passage money, but he declined to refund. “A bargain was a bargain" with him, anl#iJ6lady was compelled either to accept such quarters as hud been as signed her, or to return by another, vessel and lose her passage ticket-- She determined to adopt the latter course, and at once secured a Stale room in another.steamer. After her arrangements had been made, and before the Austria sailed, a Tec-ling took posses sion of her mind, that the vessel in which she had taken passage would«hit«t with some terri ble accident, and that she herself would in all probability be lost! So Well satisfied was she that something would happen, just as people frequently “borrow trouble,” without waiting for it to come along naturally,, that she deter mined to send her jewelry by the Austria. She therefore stripped herself of everything valua ble, watch and chain, pins, rings, brooches,&c., to a considerable amount, and packing, them securely in a casket, committed them to the care of the captain Of the Austria, taking the precaution to inform hew friends of what she had done, in order that they might recover the property’ in case of her own groundless fears,in regard to herself, should be realized. H'he result is well known. The vessel in which the lady took passage arrived safely at its destination. That which she had been prompted, to leave; even at considerable loss; ■With its load of human beings, met with.a fate that appalled the stoutest hearts. It is need less to add that the lady is contented. She lost her passage money and jewelry, but saved her A Quaker Wedding. The Cincimiati Gazelle says there was riage yesterday riiorhing at the Friends’ Meet ing House, on Fifth street, near John, of two members of tfie Society' of Friepds; The meet- ing house was filled long before the hour for the ceremony, by well-dressed; buttalkative ladies, attracted by curiosity, anxious to see the unu sual method of doing, a very common tiling. These ladies,'however, did not preserve the de corous silence which becomes any house conse crated to the worship and especially a house belonging to a religious denomination with which, quiet is so essential a part of relig ion as ii is with the Friends. Their hardly, subdued whispers were heard like the peeping of a brood of chickens just mi t of the shell, du ring the whole ceremony, with the exception of the prayer. The malesVfol vverij visitors were more respectful. Therorß'e but few of the Friends there in the dresspf the denomination, and even those observed jpily, an approach to uniformity.of cut anddSaJor. : After.the groom and bride, accompanied fay three groomsmen and bridesmaids,;had arrived and taken their seats, there was a long silence. At length an elderly Friend rose and deliver ed an exortalion on the solemnity, of the, con tract which the young couple were to make,and the"necessity of reliance upon divine strength, to fit them for thd duties' and trials of life. Then there was another silence, which’was broken by one of the Friends kneeling and 'ma- king a devout and fervent prayer. During the prayer, all but one who offered it stood—the men, who, during the rest of the services wore 'their hats, uncovered, After the prayer.thcfo was another interval of silence. At length the young’ couple rose, and the .man, taking-Ihe'woman’s hand, said in a low voice; “In the presence of God, and this assembly, I take thee to fab my . wife, promising by God’s grace to be a loving and faithful, hus band till death parts us.

The bride and bridesmaids were dressed in plain but rich while dresses, and the groom and groomsmen in black dress coats and pants and .white vests. , • Three Men Suffocated nr a Welt..—lnfor mation was brought to tho city, says tho Chica go Times, that three men had boon suffocated in a well, by poi3onous.ga?,j<t Willow Spring Sta tion, on tho Chicago and St._Louis Rail Road, about ten miles from town. : Their names wedid not learn.

Supposing it to be the consequence of accident, and that the man was hurt by tho fall, the buck et was drawn up and a second man was letdown to assist the first, .This man fell senseless out of the bucket, as did the first. Tho people above them concluded very rightly that tho well was tilled with carbonic gas. In order to decide the point, however, a third man got into tho bucket and directed his comrades to lower him slowly into tho well that ho could smell, and if ho discovered there was foul air, ho would give a signal and they could draw him up. Ho was let down, but gave no signal, and on reaching .the point where tho others had fallen out, ho likewise fell from tho bucket to the.

From the New York Observer, t: Tho President at nomd;. ' v ; Lancaster, Pa;, Ssgt._22jJBsB. M cating, as the papers tell tis, for a feW.days at bis quiet-home near Lancaster, and wo must need embrace the opportunity of paying him our respects.' So on Monday morning two of us walked out, about a nVilo from the city, to bis residence. The house, which is a short distance from the public highway, does not ex pose itself to view until you approach very near. A sloping lawn, enclosed by a pale fence, and nearly coveted with forest trees, lies in front.— The dwelling is of brick, two stories high, with a colonnade portico, flanked'by a Wing on each side, of the same height and materials. One of these side buildings contains the Library, the other is used for domestic purposes. Mr. Bu chanan’s retinue at Wheatland consists of a housekeeper,.a female servant, and a little boy ; the latter came toThe-door, to answer our ball, and in a moment, before we had time to enter, the President himself came out, cordially gree ting us, conducted us to the parlor. He at once entered into a free conversation which he commonest by asking as to the state of ichgion in the several places of our residence.. Then followed, a minute account of that peculiar in clination ofhis head, which has often been no ticed by those who, have attempted to. describe him. The substance of the account is, that his eyes are not mates, one being short, the other long-sighted. This ho thinks was always the condition of his eyes, and occasioned, early in life, that lateral curvature of his hook, which is a noticeable feature of his portly physique. Nothing about this truly great man wonderful than the ease and simplicity of his manners in private life. He throws off all re serve and makes his visitor feel quite at home in his presence. While wo sat there, a rough, laboring man walked in without a coat, and saluted the President, “ Good morning, sir,” and handed him some newspapers,. The ('rich brogue,” betrayed the man’s nationality. Mr. B. replied with a calm smile, you," look, the papers mid the man left. A more pleasing instance of this freedom from ostentation and pride, was his manner at church on the proceeding Sabbath. He walked from his residence, which must he. two miles, as,the church is in the opposite suburb of Lan caster, and came a litlle after the service began. Hip feet were covered with dust, and the-pres piration was standing on his forehead. No stir wasjmade in the congregation, he quietly en tered his own pew, and engaged in silent devo tion. A psalm book was handed to him, and Jie'at once participated in the song of praise.— He seemed: greatly, interested in the sermon, which was indeed , worthy the attention of kings and all others in authority. It was based on the'passage, “Almost thou persuadeat me to be Christian,” and besides possessing extraordina ry merit as a piece of composition, was deliver ed with eloquence and power. After church.the President walked devoutly, and entirely unattended through the s treets of Lancaster. What stranger looking upon that solitary pedestrian, apparently oblivious of self, and not expecting admiration, could have imagined that he was the chief magistrate of this mighty nation !., Whatever judgment is formed of Mr. Buchan an’s public policy, or of his political opinions, there can be no question as to his purity of character, the” humility of his deportment, and the sincerity, of his religious professions.

Novel Marriage Ceremony.— Tho New York correspondent ,of Forney’s Press, in his letter of ttio TUi-inst., gives the following par ticulars of a marriage of deaf mutes: ‘ A very unusual marriage ceremony took place on Tuesday morning last, whioh,-for its novelty,, deserves a , passing note. It was the uniting in wedlock’s band 'two deaf mules— Mr. Trist, of Philadelphia, son of our special commissioner to Mexico during tho war, and a young lady of Boston. Both were mutes—deaf and dumb from infancy'. • Tho service -of-the Episcopal Church was read by Rev. Pierre P. Irving, and translated into the symbolic lan guage of the dumb by the-Rov. Mr. Gallaudet, the bride and groom repeating and making the responses rapidly, gracefully, and with perfect accuracy. A spectator of the segue describes ]t as follows: The solemn vows being symholed before the Throne of Grace, tho Lord’s prayer followed; and who can describe the.mute eloquence of that mute prayer so devolionally followed by tho young couple ! When the nuptial benediction was silently pronounced above the lowly bowed heads of the kneeling pair, there was that which spoke louder than words in tho graceful sign language of the officiating minister. A fewlet ters —a word or two —then the hands upraised towards Heaven—to “God,” whofliad “ bound together”—the tight clasped hands—the soul speaking glance upward, away upward—again a few words—the hands placed in blessing upon thtj heads of the now “ man and wife”~a solemn silence—and all was over. No one moved for some moments ; we all felt we had caught a . glimpse of the spirit land, and we longed for one more glance intO'tliatsilent spir it world. But the grobm; was leading his beau tiful, graceful bride to the cjmrch doorp WC’ have her quiet happy smile put away in'our memory .to gladden some dark hour.

A Bane op Qor.n.—There is a project on foot, in New York, to establish a bullion bank, which shall use nothing but ooin in its transac tions. It meets with the cordial approval of many prominent men, among whom are Martin Van Buren, Eobert J. Walker, John A Dix, and John J. Cisco. The capital is to bo one million dollars, and the revenues are to bo de rived from loaning this sum, and charging a very smalt commission, from the two-hundredth to the one-tenth, of one per cent, on thosujns deposited with the bank, which will always be payable in coin.- Army Life in Utah. Salt Lake Cut, , ) th-Aii Teiuhtort, Aug. 31. ) '““ijlßAß you fiSveTllTlloMwsmJm this famous place ; a little army gossip, and a little gossip about the saints ? Col. Waite, who has been in command of the Fifth Ecgiment, has just been relieved by the arrival of another officer, and has gone to New York Stale. Dr. Bailey went with him. The Tenth Regiment and the Fifth wre encamped near each other. They are having rather a dull time, drilling their men, and wishing the Mormons wcre--well, no matter where. Living is very high and very poor withourUtaharmy, at present. Butter 75 cents a pound, milk 30- cents a quart, potatoes 40 cents a bushcl,onions and beets 6 cents a piece—and very small wa termelons at 75 cents apiece. So the military are not to be envied. They are acting police men just now. They were sent out to punish, traitors, but they are receiving all the punish ment themselves. • On the 25th of August the two Judges ap pointed by Mr. Buchanan left the Army camp to go to the town of Fillmore. They called on Gen. Johnston for an escort; he gave them two companies of dragoons.. The army camp is about lo‘be moved.a few miles, where preparations arc being made for the winter. Huts are being buflt there of clay in the shape of large sized bricks, and dried in the sun (adobe.) Each officer is to have a room 15 feet square, with walls 7 feet, high, the earth for a floor, and perhaps heaven for a ceiling, in part; at least, for though a.sort of roof will bo made, it will be a holy one. The Mormons are at work making the adobes ; at least one hundred Mormons are now at work, and they have contracted to make one million and a half of them. After they are completed the troops will move, and it will take the sol diers a month to make their preparations for winter. This war is a capital thing for the Mormons, they, sell their vegetables, &0., at their own price, pretty generally, (though every day an officer is detailed to attend to. the prices of ■things brought to the camp to sell,) then they require Mormons’ prices for their labor; in Short, i t is a fine thing for the Mormons to have the troops out . here to cat all they, want to sell. , As to Brigham; ho fares sumptuously every fiay. 'His house is very fine ;it is said; to have cost sijtty thousand dollars. On the cupola; is a bee-hive,:beautifully carved in wood. In this hoiise he attends to business, receives visiters, and here resides Mrs. Brigham, No. 1. In the house next to this all the other Mrs. Brighams live—say, fifty or sixty, and over the portico of this house is a large lion, carved' from stone. : — The lion is finely done, and is in a recumbent position. Around these two houses is an im mense wall, built of stone, enclosing the entire square, (about as large as one of your VV ashing lon squares.) The gates are heavy and strong, like the sally-port of a fort. Within this wall are always forty or fifty arriicd.men. Brigham is quite. a domestic than ; p'erhaps ho is a little afraid to go at'largo, arid then he has, ho doubt, a fine society at home. He must be, literally; a lion at orie.of his wive’s soirees. Salt-Lake city is beautifully laidout. and the approach to it is very, fine. It is laid out in large squares, and the;!streets are very wide : and every house has an acre o( ground about it, which is well cultivated.' The houses are all builtt of, adobe. Every street has ; water running through it, cool spring water, brought from the mountains. One of the officers met in Salt Lake City an old acquaintance, tuimed Mormon.'. The Mor-- mon received the officer kindly, invited him th his house, was anxious to ’ renew the; old act. quaintance, arid-even bore kindly the officer's laugh,at that pile of stones, as the officer called the celebrated Echo canon defence of the Mor mons, raised to prevent the approach of our troops to the city. These defences could have been easily taken, With'mi: .taoloss of a man. : Visitor, . The view of Lake Utah from Iho Army camp is very fine ; but this is’ a. miserable country., worthless without immigration. In short, it is only fit for Mormons. In.-,passing Brigham’s establishment to day, from every window of the house, witji the lion on it, a female.face looked out. I longed to step in and .ask those ladies what they thought of Utah ; but the arm ed Dainties restrained my curiosity.. Yori’rs, .’ PBREOimfA'. . Correspondence. o/ the Washington Star. . [From the tiuiibujy'American:'] The Public Voflts, Argument Before the Supreme Court- on .the Constitutionality of the Safe of the Canals to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company. The question of the constitutionality of the sale of the canals to the Sunbury and Erie Rail road Company, came up before the Supreme Court, holding its session at this place on Wed nesday last; The Judges were all present,viz : Chief Justice Lowfie and ''Justice Woodward, Strong,; Thompson and Porter. The question to: test the constitutionality of the sale was brought before the court in the nature of a case toenforce specific performances of contract.— Mr. Coopoer had agreed to purchase 35100,000 worth of the bonds of the company, which he refused to take until this question was decided. Chas. Gibbons, Esq.,'St;,George Tucker Camp bell, Esq., of Philadelphia, and Judge Knox,' Attorney General of Pennsylvania, appeared for the Sunbury and Erie Company. Judgoßlnok, Attorney General of the United Slates, and W. | It, Hirst, of Philadelphia, were the counsel op posed to the .sale. The case was* opened by Mr. Gibbons in a strong argument-justifying the sale—contending that the price was fully equal to the value of the public works in the hands of the Stale, and that the proper time to ob ject, if objection' could be made, had gone by. , Mr. Gibbons was followed by Mr. McCalmont, who appeared in behalf of Judge Black, who could not leave Washington, mid asked permis sion to read the written argument of the learned Judge to the Court, which was granted. The Judge’s argument was a spicy, well written document, interspersed with sarcasms, quotations and oddities, lacking somewhat in dignity and also m respect to the coordinate branches of the government—so much so that Chief Justice Lowrie ,took occasion to say, when Judge Knox replied, that he wpuld not have permitted it to be read, had ho known its contents. The Judge stated, among other things, that many members of. the Legislature were, no doubt, ignorant of the character of the bill, others, he was constrained to say, were dishonest. Win. L. Hirst, Esq. , followed on the same side. His speech was able and ingenious. The point on.which he principally relied, was the subscription"of $500,000 to the stock of the Allegheny Valley road, which he contended was a worthless corporation, and was a clog in the sale of the works, lessening the prioo to that amount. Judge Knox concluded the argument on the part of the commonwealth, contending for the validity and constitutionality of the sale. His argument was able and convincing. He met, as he thought, most successfully, the points of - objection raised by the opposite counsel. Mr- Campbell took no part in the discussion. He was suffering from an injury lo his eye, caused by a spark Irom a locomotive., coming lo this place. The case is held under advisement.
