THE WEATHER. —Taken altogether, the past winter has been an extraordinary one, and will probably long live in the memory ct the rising generation, as well as the 44 oldest inhabitant." I p to the first of April thirty-two snows had fallen, and since then we have had half a dozen more. On Sunday, Monday and Tues day a mixture of hail, raift and snow de scended. t he latter however predominating; on Wednesday the sun shone brightly for some houts, and hones began to be en tertained that the spell *\. ;.s at last brckt i. ; but yesterday morning" proved as delusive as ever, for it was again snow ing ! This unfavorable weather has prevented supervisors and others from making and putting in order the roads under their care, and all are of course at present in bad •condition. The same remark will apple to our streets—but it can't be helped ; and 44 what can't be cured, rr ust be endured." I his morning the sun shines pleasantly, but whether it will continue so more than an hour beyond this present writing, this deponent sayetli not. RAILROAD ACCIDENT. —The locomotive '< of the train going west on Wednesday , morning, broke an axle this side of Hun tingdon, tearing up the track about 100 leer, and finally upset, together with the •baggage car, smashing the latter into pieces, i IS" one of the passengers or hands were se riously injured. This accident detained the train from the west until a late hour on Wednesday night. A canal bridge iu Granville township, with Joshua Morrison's team standing on it, gave way a few days since, precipitat ing horses and wagon into the canal. It appears they were loading wheat into a boat below at the time. Two or three horses were somewhat injured, the wagon partly broken, and several bushels ot wheat lost by bags bursting. | The locofoco conventions of Virginia and Louisiana have not a word to say re specting the compromise measures! We suppose the papers of that ilk in Penn sylvania will be down on them like a * ihousap.d of brick !' The steamer Africa brings three days later intelligence from Europe, but nothing ol interest in a political way had trans* j'ired. Cotton and Breadstuff's both have a downward tendency.

I'ODEI s LABY S BOOK for Mav, vcrv handsomely embellished and containing 120 pages of reading matter, came to hand last evening.

Buirowes, Esq., originally intended, lor Lancaster county, has met with so much favor in other places as to induce the publisher to make the following' proposition: As soon as moo subscriptions, . aid in ad- IVll* b° r uara " leed '>y known persons, shall s? t beeo reCF,ved from other parts of the than LANCASTER county, the number of the pages pf the Journal v-iii o, it „ rcased fro(4l ,J to .1.., at one collar per annum to each subscri ber, and the contents ot the work will be made as generally useful and applicable t. all the counties, as the aornties ot the editor wi'J ad mit.—An average of about 20 subscriber* in each county will complete this number. Air. Burrowes is well known as the arly, able and steadfast friend of Com mon Schools, and we know of no inan in the State better calculated to conduct such n publication. ' OF ORKS °r ART. — Tu the burning of Jie I rei.fOrit lem pie, Boston, the gailcry of Thomas Thompson, Esq., was destroyed, it was valued at £200,0011, and was uninsured. 1 here were between 000 and 700 pictures. Thomas Sully's Danae, alter Titian, said to be Lis best work, was among them. Many of the paintings were very old and valuable. Jacob Hoffman, Esq. The North American, in speaking of JACOB HOFFMAN, Esq., of Berks county, the nominee of the Whig State Conten tion for Canal Commissioner, remarks that in his nomination the convention was particularly fortunate. Mr. Hoffman is a native of Pennsylvania, one of the good old German stock which has done so much to promote the interests and sustain the character of the Commonwealth ; and he possesses, in a very high degree, the qualities necessary to the successful ad ministration of the office for which he has been elected. Ilis mind, naturally acute, has been cultivated by diligent train ing ; and he has directed his attention, particularly, to the study of our public works, with which, in all their relations and dependencies, he is thoroughly famil iar. He has, moreover, unbounded en ergy, untiring industry, and a vigor of pur pose which no obstacle can overcome. Should he be elected, as we earnestly hope and fully believe that he will be, no con sideration of false delicacy towards his colleagues will restrain him from instituting and pursuing those enquiries which may be necessary for a proper exposition of the gross mismanagement which is now known to prevail. In him the public may look for a vigilant and jealous guardian ship of their interests—a strict supervision of all that properly comes within the sphere of his official action, and a faith ful and intelligent discharge of every duty. When the campaign fairly opens, we have no doubt Mr. Hoffman will present him self personally before the people, and dis cuss with them freely, face to face, the topics involved in the candidature upon which he has entered ; and we are quite sure that, wherever he may present him self. he will secure favorable consideration and support.

In the House, yesterday, Mr. Bonhurn from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported a bill providing for a ioan of Jive miliums of dollars, the bonds to be issued with cupons at tached, and to bear an interest of five per cent. Thin loan i- designed toraieeand appropriate funds fir the purpose of paying bonds of tiio Stile, now overdue, those to come due in 1553, and the bonds issued tor payment of domestic creditors. According to the provisions of the bit!, proposals are to be issued for the talcing ol the loan in Philadelphia. New York, Boston, ijondon, &:, and tire new loan is to be express ly exempted front the payment of any State tax. The measure is an important one, and may have the effect to re-establish the credit of the Slate on a linn basis. I doubt, however, such an effect to any considerable extent, whilst new loans for new purposes are being made, and the real debt ot the State is being increased. The North Branch Canal bill, passed several days 9ince, vviil add an increase of eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the debt. The demand for the Portage railroad is tj&OOOftO, which will ot course be granted, and the probable amount for rebuilding the Columbia railroad is not likely to be less than $2 X), 000 more, thus making a positive increase of the public debt of twelve hundred and fifty til uisand, or a million and a quarter of dollars during the present yeut. To this is to be ad ded a large amount of floating debt, the amount of which is not reported, and is therefore not known. This is likely to be paid out of the proceeds ot the new five million loan, and may add to the established d"bt of the Common wealth, half . j million more, makingan increase of acknowledged debt of oneand three quarter million of dollars. 1 say acknowledged debt, because the last iiaif million, if the amount suggested be correct, although as really due at any other debt of the State, being a floating deb', does not appear as it ought to, in the b abilities of the State. A subject of very inter esting inquiry at this tirne is as to what iengtii of time :t will reipiire to get the State clear Ol debt, and the people freed from the enormous taxes, according to this rate of proceedings. The Union Canal is open its entire length, and boat* are now leaving daily from .Middle town for Reading. I lie receipts of the Now York and Erie Railroad for the month of March were §251.- 170,61—0f which §9l 129,95 were from pas sengers, and 156,749,00 were from freight. FIXE MILCII COW. —The Reading Alder states that. Adam Leize, of Tulpehocken town ship, has a Durham milch cow, that yielded 292j quarts of milk in 8 days, or an average o! 25 quarts a day.

NEW YORK CASALS.—The Albany Register of Saturday morning, states that the Canal Commissioners!, in view of the continued un favorable weather, have it in contemplation to postpone the day tor opening the canals to the 22d or 25th inst. THE MYSTERY CLEARED Ue.—One of the mysterious track makers was shot by Mr. John Barry, in Lynn, on Monday evening, in the shape of a gray owl, measuring five ieet two inches between the tips of the extended wings. Bishop I'otter is said to have purchased pro perty in the town of Chester, Delaware count v. The Upland Union says its location tor extend ed and beautiful prospect has no equal along the Delaware. It comprises ten acres. The Bishop it is supposed will reside there'll future. A correspendent of the Norris'own Herald tel.s a story of HII intelligent member of the House of Representatives from Berks county, who, a few years ago, on one of the officers ot the House pacing on his desk a couple ot sticks of sealing wax, turned to his next neigh bor and inquired,' if they gave them mini.ticks every day." A letter in the Danville (Kv.,) Tribune, states that Mr. J. C. Short recently tell from the top of a cliff on Dix river, in Lincoln county, a distance of ninety feet, perpendicu lar, and to the astonishment of his companions, instead of being dashed to pieces, he sustained but little injury, It is supposed that he lei 1 upon his head ! A Bio PILE OF IRON. —There arc now thirty thousand tons of iron lying at Dunkirk, N. Y , waiting shipment to the West, mostly des tined for Ohio, and there is daily more receiv ing. And all British iron at that ' Juniata Machine Shop and Foundry. In pursuance of a previous call, a large and respectable meeting of our citizens was held at the Town Hall, on Monday evening last, for the purpose of considering the pro priety of erecting an extensive Foundry and Machine Shop in our borough. On motion, A. B. Long was elected Presi dent, and Z. liittenhouse Secretary of the meeting. Daniel Zeigler, Moses Montgomery, W. H. Irwin, Esq., J. T. Ilale, Esq., J. R. Weekes and A. B.

The industrial committee was continued, with the ad dition of John R. Weeks, Esq., with in . structions to procure a charter from the legislature now in session, with a capital of £30,000. A committee was also ap pointed to solicit subscriptions, of which Daniel Zeigler, Esq., is chairman. The meeting was addressed !>> Geo. \Y. Elder, Esq., S. S. Woods, Esq., R. C.

ATTEMPT TO BLOW rr A HOUSE. —The .New burypo.t Herald suys an attempt was made on Thursday to blow up a new house, building in Haverhill by Mr. Cornelius Jenness, who has made himself obnoxious to some persons. A keg of 25 pounds of powder was piaced under i the house and a tubeorslow match placed in it, which burned within two inches ol the powfler and then went out ol itself. THE PHILADELPHIA M.
