The North Branch Canal will at that time be prepared for the spring trade and no cfr ,rt will be spared to put the main line in a a condition to elate its northern branches. We may look for a busy season after navigation fairly opens. The destrinition of the Clarks Ferry Bridge, by the storm of last week. will not interfere with the transit of boats at that paint. The Penna.

Gossir.,We are forced by the dearth of news ig cur own world to go out among the rest of mankind, seeking what our readers spay ilevour. We do not trammel ,ourself with ilia trifling drawbacks of day and date, but serve up facts in their stark-naked ness.

The "spoilsmen" shout "Jubilate! the tail has killed him;" but the Governor's friends claim that, like the cat, he lighted on his feet. There is bad blood between the fac tions of the once unterrified, hence the item next ensuing. That power independent of the throne, (formerly behind it,) John ly. . Forney, editor cf. the.

Notts Verrons. The 4ivozce committee in the house of Represzettatives has reported a bill sunder ing the heaven-born and religiously solem nized bonds between Horace Fry, Esq., and Emily L., his wife. The majority report accompanying the bill does not set forth any ill doing on the part of the husband, but gives it as the decided opinion of the signers that the young people can never have a good thee together again, and had better be authorized by en immaculate 1 Legislature, for the better preservation of public morality and peace, to resolve them selves into the elementary Fry and Grigg. True, the husband protests that he don't want to be divorced, and he won't be di vorced if memorializing the Legislature will save him, but the Young wife's photograph has been circulated among the members, and the young dogs so love a pretty face that we fear Horace's chance of keeping his Emily is slim indeed. J. B. has decided not to call a special session of Congress, so the Post Office de partment must get on as it may. Fat jobs will not be so plentiful for the succeeding nine months. In re Sickles the Grand Jury has found a true bill. The trial will probably come on next week. In the meantime Mr. Sickles undergoes a punishment at the hands of the illustrated newspapers, disportioned to his offense. Unless the unfortunate man lots been subjected to the question extraordi nary by some secret tribunal, we cannot believe theit his limbs ever assumed the fearfully unnatural position depicted in a late number of flipper's Weekly. Ills un happy wife is not even allowed to depart from Wa,hington, the scene of her shame, to hide herself and her wisery, without the artist (?) of another enterprising pictorial being on the spot to distort the wretched weinan's grief, and that of her household. Pah! If our illustrated papers can find no happier suldects for the pencils and gravers ! of their employees they had better confine I themselves exclusively to pilterings from the European pictorials. 1 General lienningsen, of fillibuster mem toy, has organized an emigrating expedi . tion to Arizona, which will probably ask ad extension of its charter to embrace !Nicaragua, Sonora, or any other helpless and unprotected Spanish American State. We hope that executhe interference will be 'regulated by the defensive resources of the endangered country. If men and arms and powder, and, above all, hemp, are plenty, lay no straw in the way of a liberal emigration. The Paraguay canal bust exp.lition will probably turn out a glorious National en terprise creditable alike to our resources and our foresight—to say nothing of our arms. If the river keeps at a "good rafting stage" our scows may succeed in getting near enough to Lopez's forts to be-blown out of water. Should the dry season set in they can paddle round near the mouth, out of harms way. Shall we pray fur rain or drou th? Over the water the French Emperor's bil ligerent attitude has raised the cry of "wolf" throughout Europe. That lamb, Austria, is very fearful that the prowling Napoleon is about to make meat of her, and is encour aged in her belief by Sardinia who hopes to come in for a chop. England cries peace and Prussia cries peace, and Russia is al w:,ym ready for a piece. The Nephew is probably shamming and unfortunate Italy will have to wait yet a little Me:zico if no better is no worse than usual. To be sure she is the victim of a horde of nm , bitionq presidents, each with an army to hack him, and her brave sons fall by the half dozen in every battle; but this is her normal state—her people enjoy their peculiar priv ileges as we do the Inestimable one of the ballot boa. They fight as we vote, and it would be difficult to decide which exer e:se of popular right is most disastrous to the respective countries. We have just dispatched a special minister to this happy I land in search of a government. A dad ! cive battle is impending, the result of which Mr. McLane will await, when he will ha medistely recognize the hopelessly defeated , Party. Iltrurr Curio:it:rt.—We notice that the name of cur former townsman. A. R. Spangler, &q., takes prominent place in the Lancaster city and county papers as active Deputy Coroner, under appointment by the Governor, for this county, Mr. Spangler's tenure of office dates back to the time of the Tragedy, but he has only lately been called upon prominently in his official capacity. Ile recently held the inquest on the body of a man who drowned himself in one of the locks of the Conestoga Navigation, and is ever roady . to perform his not pleasant duties, promptly and carefully. The office is one requiring judgment and intelligence, and Mr. Spang ler's many friends in Columbia will agree with us in endorsing him as excellently qoalifiel for the pos:tion. TUE WAVERLY NOVELS.—The well-known firm of T. B. ?eterson ,& Brothers, 306 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, lire now en gaged in publishing a remarkably ?heap edition or these unapproachable' works of fiction. The first, "Ivanhoe," appeared on Saturday of last week; the next, •!GuyiNlan nering," will issue to-day, "Rib Roy'," next, and so on, one novel will be put:dialled reg ularly on each and every corning Saturday, until the whole number of Tolumes—twen ty-sixis 'completed. The low price fixed by the publishers for thpri l is only 25 cents a volume, or tha whelp twenty-si; volumes for five 'dollars. A complete set will be for warded, free of postage, by mail, to any part of the United States, to any one, by the publishers, on receiving a re.aittanne of five dollars for the twenty-six plumes; or a remittance of three dollars will pay for the first twelve volumes; or a remittance of one dollar will pay fur the first four volumes. The novels will be neatly printer}, and each volurolk will contain about 125 pages, prin ted on fine white paper, and neatly bound with paper cover. The revised uniform Ed inburgh edition, from which this is reprint ed, comprises forty-eight volumes, the cost of which, is seventy-two dollars; and this edition will contain every word of the Edin burgh edition. lye commend the determin ation of this enterprising Philadelphia firm, to furnish the works of an author like Wal ter Scott, at a price so reasonable, that all persons whatever may possess a full set, and direct the attention of our readers to the fact, and would advise them all to make a remittance of Five Dollars at once, per first mail, to the publishers, fur the entire set, who will send them complete to any one, free of postage, on receipt of that sum. ATLANTIC MONTHLY.—The Boston Monthly for April comes to us rather heavily freighted, but with many readable papers withal. "Bulls and Bears" and Mrs. Stowe's "Minister's Wooing" are continued, and the "Professor" talks and lets others talk so pleasantly that we are resigned to fate of his and our friend, the "Autocrat." The "Atlantic" has established itself on the firm basis of pecuniary success. Its as sured circulation precludes financial failure, and the high character of editor and pub lishers forbids a thought of literary deter ioration. We may then regard the "Month ly" as a stability; a fixed star in its ability to•stick, though by no means stationary—it is as progressive as the late comet without its transient qualities. The enterprising publisher are now reaping the reward t f their determination to give the American public a worthy periodical literature, coute qui conic, in a circulation of 40,000 copies monthly. LYING AGE.—Tho number for March 2Gth gives us a pleasant portrait of the gentle essayist, Charles Lamb, with a memoir. It is, beside, made up of articles from Reviews, and the English political newspapers, with some good political selec tions. No periodical so completely furnishes its readers with the best selections from leading foreign periodicals, and none so amply repay careful perusal. Published weekly by Littell, Son & Co., Boston, and Delisser C Proctor, New York, at 13 cents a single number or $G a year. OUR M ITSICAL FRIEND.-11iS is a new en terprise, being a weekly issue of music in pamphlet form. Each number contains three or four pieces of popular and stand ard music handsomely printed, at the ex ceedingly low price of 10 cents. The work is published by C. B. Seymour & Co., 13 Frankfort st., New York. Subscription price per manual. See advertisement. Houssmou, Woans.—Wc simply acknowl edge the receipt of Household Words for April. The character of the work is so high and so well established that praising it seems a work of supererogation. We can never, however, too strongly recommend to our readers a subscription fur the work. A RTn UR'S 1101 Ir. MAGAZINE.—This pleas ant family periodical for April has been received. It is good, as ever, and furnishes an infinity of pleasure and instruction in its pages for its thousands of readers. Arthur's is one of the favorite Magazines of the day, and deserves the reputation it enjoys. NORTII 13RITISIT REVIEW.—We have re ceived Leonard, Scott& Co's reprint a the North British Review for PAruary. It contains: The Algerian Letcrature of France; Carlyle's Frederick the Great; Fiji and the Fijianc; The Philosophy of Lan guage; Sir Thomas Moore and the Refor mation; Intuitionalism and the Limits of rteli,gious Thought; De In Rive's Electricity in Theory and Practice; Scottish .Home Missions; Recent Pablications.. It is a blessed thing that our Locust St. has been so handsomely repaired. It is almost as smooth as a board, and affords some of our citizens a glorious opportunity of showing off the speed of the high-mettled nage at the break-neck pace of 2.40, by the watch, greatly to the delight and admira tion of all true lovers of the turf. In olden time it was thought that the street of a town should not be kept as a race course, atuatiiat all persons traveling on it with horses, &c., should go at a leisurely rate, so that citizen tax payers who furnish the means to councilmen to improve the town with, might with their wives and children cross it on foot or otherwise, at leisure, with- out endangering life or limb. But that was in the days gone by, wheq none but old fogies lined in this world. In these modern days wnen fast horses are more appreciated than good men, anybody to object to the trotting of horses in the streets must be be hind the times, and as it is so handsomely done by one or more of ourgood councilmen, it is to he presumed that that the ancient ordinances prohibiting it have been repenled. It is hoped that our excellent High Con stable will feel it his pleasure and duty to attend on the street at the proper hour, and see that no man, woman and child, hog or dog. obstructs the course during the time of the races, that the levers of the sport map onjoy themselves without let or hindrance. AN ARDENT TVRMIN. Droschkying sine day along the Gorolichova ia, or street of Peas, there passed mc, darting in and out of the usual mounted . f dust, one of the neatest turn outs in the way of a private droschky that I had seen since my arrival in St. Petersburg. The horse was a- magnificient Alezan, worth from eight hundred to a thousand rubles probably—an arch-necked, small, proud, wicked-bedded brute. The Ischtvostchik was a picture— stalwart, well-proportioned, full-bearded, and white-teethed; his caften well-fitting; his sash resplendent, his neck-cloth so snowy in its hue, so irreproachable in its uncreasiness, that it might bare shown to advantage al a Sunday school revival•—nay, might have been thought not unworthy to gleam with a sanctified shim mer on the platform of Exeter Rail the Great, itself. He held his reins delicately, and dal lied with them digitally, more as though he were playing on the harpsichord than guiding a vicious horse. Behind this grand-ducal droschkying-looking charioteer there sat a stout man with 'a stouter flabbier, and very pale and unvi:holesome:looking visage. It was the reverse of good to see those pendant cheeks of his, gelatinizing over the choking collar of his uniform. Moreover, he. wore gold-rimmed spectacles; moreover, his shiny black hair was cropped close to his head, much more in a recently-discharged English ticket-of-leave than in a Russian and military fashion; moreover be bad not a vestige of moustache about him; and this last circum stance, combined with a tiny equilateral tri , angle of turn-down collar that asserted itself over each side of his stock below where his cheeks were waggins& puzzled me mightily, mingling as both together did a dash of the civil with the military element in him. For as to the rest of his attire he was all martial —coat buttoned up to here, spiked and double eagled helmet,gray capote,buckskin gloves,and patent-leither boots. Could this be the Czar himself? I asked myself. 1 had heard of the studiously unostentatious manner in which the autocrat perambulates the streets of his capi tal; but then I knew also, from the columns of that morning's Journal de St. Petersburg, that the Gossudas was at Revel, indulging in the innocent delights of sea-bathing with his wife and family. Who could this be—the Governor of St. Petersburg? ..Count Nessel rode? Say. Let me here remark that the Russians, who are the cutest sophists, if not the closest rea soners, to be found in a long life's march, fre quently allude with exulting complacency to the quiet, modest, and on-his-people-confiding manner in which the Emperor goes about.— "We have no walking on jealously-guarded slopes in Russia," they say; "our Emperor takes his morning walk from nine to ten on the Quay de la Cour, in front of the Winter Palace, where the poorest moujik or gondola boatman can salute him. We have no ba roaches-and-four, no glass coaches with cui rassiers riding with cocked pistols at the win dows, or escorts of Cent Garden; or hussars, or lancers, following behind. We have not even outriders or equeries—nay, not a single footman nor groom. The Czar is driven about in a one-horse shay, an Ischvostcbik to drive him, just as you may have one, only a little dirtier, for your five-and-twenty copecks; and that is all. Our Czar's escort is in the people he loves so well; his greatest safeguard is in their unalterable veneration and affection for him." Unto such Russians I have ordinarily answered, True, oh king! but what needs I your master with an escort when St. Peters. burg is one huge barrack, or rather one huge police station? What need of Cent Gardes when there are thousands of police guards walking within the Czar's droschky-sight on the Nevskoi? What need has a keeper to be afraid of a fierce bear, when the beast is muzzled, and chained, and shakled to the floor of his den, and barred in besides? I had with me on this occasion a compan ion of the Russian ilk, and made bold to ask that Muscovite who this gray-capoted un moustachioed apparition in the handsome droschky might be. I must explain that I was very young to Russia at this time—a month's longer residence would have made me wondrously uniform wise; for being neces sarilyl and constantly in contact with persons wearing some uniform garb or other, a man must needs grow learned in buttons,.and fac ings, and coat-cuts, and sword-hilts, and can nose a guardsman or a linesman on the Ne vskoi by what is nautically—and perhaps naughtily—expressed as the cut of hid jib, as easily as Pulonius was said to be susceptible of nasal detectian by the Danish .gentleman who saw the ghost, and used bad language to his mother. The "Russian to whom I addressed this query retponded, first by the usual shrug, next by the usual smile, and lastly by the inevitable Russian counter•queryt “Do you mean to say you don't know?" "I have not the slightest notion. A field marshal? Prince Gortschakolli General To dlebeni" • "My dear fellow, that is a major of police!" "His pay must be something enormous then, or his private fortune must be very handsome,' , I ventured to remark; "he being able to drive so elegant an equipage as the one we have 'ust seen." "That dog's son," the Russian answered leisurely, "has not a penny of his own in the world, and his full pay and allowances may amount at the very outside, to about two hun dred and fifty rubles a year," (forty pounds.) "But whence the private droschky, the Al ezan horse, the silver-mounted harness, the luxury of the whole turn-out?" I asked. "11 pectic'," (he takes,) the Russian ans wered very coolly; whereupon, as by this time we bad arrived at the corner of the Great Moorskaia, he deigned to descend from the vehicle, and, leaving me to pay the lschvost chik, he went on his way, and I saw him no more till dinner-time. For the Columbia Spy Mrs. Partington, after listening to .the reading of an advertise:nent for a young ladies' boarding school, said; °For my part,' can't deceive what on airth eddication is coming to. When I was young, if a girl only understood rules of distraction, provision, multiplying, replenishing and com mon doniator, and knew all about the rivers and their obituaries, the covenants and domito ries, the provinces and the umpires, they had eddication enough. But now they have to study bottomy, algierby, and have to demonstrate supposition about sycophants of circuses, tan gents and Diogenese of parallelgramy, to say nothing about the exiles, corostics and abtrose triangles !" Thus saying, the old lady leaned back in ber chair, her knitting work fell in her lap, and for some minutes she seemed in medi tation. A n'issian. Major of Police DESTRUCTION OF rim CLARK'S FERRY BRIDGE. The storm of wind and rain which visited our borough on Friday night, appear@ to have been of a more destructive character further up the river. Six spans of the Clark's Ferry bridge were carried away, broken to pieces, and lie scattered along the banks of VA@ river. The bridge was originally built by the State, but at, the time of its destruction belonged to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company. It consisted of ten spans; six of which were swept away—three from the western end, and three from Duncan's Island. Those in the middle are still standing, but expected to go every moment. The report that three men were on the bridge at the time of its destruction, is untrue. A peddler's wagon passed over the bridge hut a few moments before it fell, but no other per sons were on it. The greatest excitement pre vailed along shore and in the neighborhood of the scene of the calamity. About three acres of the land at Duncan's liland has been washed away. All the lowlands along the Susquehan na, in Perry county, are inundated. A number of rafts broke loose, and were swept down the river without the consent of theii owners.— One raft, containing two men and a woman went over the dam; the water at that place being almost level at the present time. The wind blew a perfect tornado, and it is feared that an immense amount of property has been destroyed further up the river. by to the pres ent time, we have heard of no lives being lost. The river is much higher pow than it has been any time this season, but is gradually falling. —Harrisburg Patriot and Union.
