Mr. Keit, iu actieing the death of Brooks in the House. said — ■'Earth never pilitwed n it- .•-stm a truer son, nor Heaven opened wide its gates to re ceive a manlier spirit." To which Mr. Savage added : "History records but one Thermopylae, but thore ought to have been another, and that for Preston S. Brook*.

So shall the scene in the Senate Cham ber carry the name of the deceased to all fu ture generations, long to be remembered aft. r ail here ~ha.lL be forgotten, and when th -o proud walls shall Lave crumbled int.- ruin*."

New \ork Feb. 10.—The excitement about the mystery of Br. Bardell's murder eontin- ' ues unabated. The Corrmer, as u-ual, had a large number of letters that he had received in regard to toe murder. Among them wu; oue advising him to watch the movements of Dr. who was the first person at for by Mrs. Cunningham on tl:e morning tLat thi murder was discovered. Dr. P.oberts was afterward* cxamiuc-d, but bis tcetimany was quite unimportant. He only testified to the condition of the dead bodv when he saw it, and to the fact of the iifiku icie* existing between l'r. Burdell and Mrs. Cunningham, as reported by other wit nesses. lie said that Bur del! said one day to Lira, " We hare both been wrong, but all is settled now. 1 intend to be their friend through life." l>r. BurdeH's private ledger, which was ex amined, contains a charge made on the 28 th of October, the day yf the adieged marriage between him and Mrs. Cunningham. This proves that he was in this city on thai uav, and not in Saratoga, as reported. Mary Miller was called and sworn. She testified to having been iu Pr. Burde'l'* room on Friday, day ef his murdr. The doc tor tegge i of her a loan of a hundred dollars ioung inodgras- vras again in court, but nothing new was elicited from him. Mrs. Cunningham will be committed to the Tombs to-day. The latest evidence to point towards Eckel and Mrs. Cunningham a* the guilty parties. fOTBostoD, not to be behind New York, ha* also got up a murder case, it being re ported that the late postmaster at Hingham was poisoned by his wife, arsenic having been found in his stomach. RUN ON THE MONTGOMERY' COUNTY' BANK. Norristown, Feb. 10.—Considerable ex citement exists here cn acc- unt of a run on the " Montgomery County Bank." It com menced yesterday. Ali the afternoon there was quite a crowd about the Bank, which was kept open till 8 o'clock, and was busy paying demands. Many causes are assigned for the commencement of this run, but what the true one is I cannot say. This morning the bank was opened earlier than usual, and the run again commenced, which promises to be more exciting than it was yesterday Pemujdvaoi* Legislative. On the sth Mr. Purcell presented the sub joined petition from a number of ladies and others in favor of the right of suffrage, &e.

On the following day the Speaker stated that a resolution had passed tjie House yes terday to refer a petition from certain ladies, asking fur the right of suffrage, to a select committee compes<*d of the bachelor members of the House. It was difficult for him to appoint the committee, not being acquainted with the domestic relation* of members, lie w;-hed that the bachelor members would rise in their seats, in order that the Clerk might take dawn their names. The foiiowing gentleman were then ap pointed on s.A.d committee: Messrs. M'Caint ut. L mgaker. Backhouse, Iliestaud, llines. Knight, Vicker*. Ramsey, Philadelphia. Benson. Wagonaelior, We-t --brook, Calhoun and Eyster. , In the IluUse. the Speaker announced the following committee to prepare a bill appor tioning the State into Senatorial an i Repre sentative districts, in pursuance of a resolu tiuQ to that effect: Messrs. Fester, Mum ma, Caihun, Ball, Roberts, Penrose, Yearsley. Sm th. Cam bria. Longaker, B. kiuuse, Pctrikin. lleines, Innis, Benson and lline. Mr. Petrikin, from the select committee in relation to the contested seat f John Ram sey, made a repirt which was signed by aii mi the Committee, in favor of allowing Mr. Ramsey bis seat, contested by George R. Smith of Philadelphia, which was accepted by the House, ani the Committee wa* dis charged. A resolution was passe 1 allowing Mr. Smith mileage and pay at the rate of $4 per day for the time lie has been contesting the *t-at of Mr. Ramsey. A bill was introduced by Mr. Eyster, cf Allegheny county, mazing every description of property in the State subject to taxation for ail purposes, except burial grounds, cem eteries, and such buildings and property as are purchased and sustained bv a general fund raised by legal taxation, and except such corporations a* are espia!ly exempt from taxation by the law creating them. This ex ception would include court houses, jails, county buildings and other public property built and sustained either by the State or County taxation. The bill would subject to uxati n for all purposes, State, county, bor ough or township ani school, ali the church property in the State nt specialty exempted by the charter of the c jrporation holding , such property.

The principal features uf the till are that in case of such tale the Governor is to subscribe s•>,' M,OX' of said stock to the buubury and Erie Railroad Company, and tbe Railroad Company is released from the t nnagc tax, tax on dividends, and interest on the bonds and land or property. This, it will at once be seen, would do little or nothing toward* reducing the public debt, and tLerefure ought to meet with no favor.

GENERAL BREAK CP — Ice Flood. —The mod erate weather prevailing last week, with oc casional ram and heavy fogs, had the effect ef melting the snow and lea Tery generally. On Saturday evening Kisbacoquilias and Jack's creeks poured a considerable body of water into the river, wliich continued until Sunday morning, when the latter also began to rise. About 11 o'clock a heavy body of ice broke up below the bridge, forcing its way down the dam and forming occasional gorges, which however were quickly broken up. A few hours after the ice above the bridge gave way, and for a while came down in masses that shook that structure to its foundations— the river in the meanwhile having risen from sixteen to eighteen feet above low water mark. The ice was of unusual thickness, and almost at the start knocked out some stones frerr. the firs: pier, which gradually gave way until about one-third of it had been dismantled.— Contrary to genera! expectation the surer structure continued in its place, with no percep tible injury except a slight sinking of the second span. It is however rendered impas sable, except for foot passenger*, thus for a time cutting off all trade with the railroad. Some of the other piers were also slightly in jured. The company immediately set to work for the purpose of makin? such tempo rary repairs as to reader it safe, and if the weather should not prove too boisterous, it will probably be in condition for the passage of vehicles at the cLse of the week. That the bridge was not carried away bod ily is undoubtedly owing to the railroad bridges above, a Lai not the solii stone piers of those structures broken up the ice, it must have given way. Notwithstanding a cold rain which set in during the afternoon, the mer shore was lined with persons watching the moving panorama of ice ana water, now and then relieve'! by drift wood, a skiff, Sat, fish basket, or a Sock of geese, who, strangv ly enough, seem to enjoy a ride on a cake ? ice amazingly. We noticed f.ur skiffs in sight at one time. The canal has suffered considerable dam age, and if the Newton Hamilton Jam is bro ken as badiv as reported, navigation will hardly be resumed from the Narrows up be fore May or June. The level below this piace might readily be put in boating order Lv ob taining the water pewer from sterrett's Lew i-town Mills, which having steam power in addition, could readily dispense with it fur a time. ShjuM affairs above be as bad as rep resented, till- would be the proper course for the £aual Commissioners to pursue. The Jack's creek aqueduct, which had been un dergoing seme repairs, ar.i was nearly finish ed. was turned ir.to an ice Louse by the flood, great piles having boon lodged in it. It ha? also probably been injured. At other points the tow path is lined with ice or has been scarred, and the canal in places is considera i bly washed. Major Eisenbise however will, we presume, increase his battalion into a re giment. and with his accustomed go-ahead atirc-ntss. speedily put this part into proper trim. giajr he busir.ees of the Lewistown Station fiJt January, 1857, was a? follows: Freight received. $Bl4 13 forwarded, 3301 98 Toils, 4 12 4120 23 Passengers, 1234 97 Total amount, $5355 20 Among the principal articles forwarded were the following: Poultry. 5,009 pur i?.

"Witherow, Esq., of h -aver Dam Mills, which places the upper part of this county a little ahead ot every other part. When one day old it weighed 105 lbs., and at six weeks was disposed of to Adam HarsL barger, President of the Miffiiu County Agri cultural Society, for $25, weighing at the time over 200 ibs. The butchers' stalls under the Town Hall are now lighted with gas—pipes having been introduced fur their accommodation by the Town Council. J. Warner will deliver a lecture before the Apprentices' Literary Society on Saturday evening next. B*so,Thc weather, which had been rather pleasant from our last issue up to Tuesday afternoon, suddenly changed about that time with a snow squall from the west, and yester day morning was again decidedly winterish. SAL DEATH. —We regret to leara that Wm, Thomas, a brother of Geo. W. Thomas, Esq., of this place, met with an awful death at Al liance, Ohio, by the burning of his shop, in which he aas sleeping at the time. The fire was discovered and hie cries heard, hut the deor having been locked, before aid could be furnished, he had ceased to exist. The de ceased formerly resided in Lewistown. The following is the average value of the worn Spanish coiu at the United States Mint in Philadelphia: Quarters, , 234 cents. Eighths or Levies, 10 9-10 do Sixteenths or Fips, 5$ do It has been ascertained that the Spanish coins which are not defaced or clipped, are, in rsality, worth something more than the American. GENERAL THAW—GREAT FLOODS. By the following item? of news from differ ent sections, it will be seen that the recent thaw extended over the United States, and has no deabt resulted in much damage: j ALBANY, Feb. 9.— A tremendous flood oc curred last night, causing damage estimated to amount to two millions. The city, during the night, was a of the utmost confu sion. both from fire and water, aud laborers were working all night in removing the goods from the stores in the lower part ot the city. The second stories were thought safe, but at 1! o'clock the water began rising rapidly, ar.i the workmen were obliged to desist for their own safety. The water continued rising till 4 o'clock this morning, when it reached a point three feet higher than ever before known, flooding the whole lower part of the city as high up as Green street. The lower parts of Herki mer, Hudson aud the parallel streets are sub merged to the first story, and Broadway flooded from the Exchange to the Delevan House. The stores and cellars on the west side are all filled with water, and all the streets between Broadway aud the river are navigable by boats. A large auinber of cat tle have been drowned. GREENFIELD, Mas-., Feb. S.—The Green field river ha? overflowed its banks several feet. At Dcerfield, Stebbins' Grist Mill has been swept away, aud much other damage ( occasioned. , ST. LuUis, Feb. 9.—The Mississippi has risen ab:ut 18 feet since Saturday morning, • and is -till rising, and immense quantities of ice are floating down. The Missouri is open above Jefferson City, an ! is pouring out a high flood. The Illinois is open all the way, and has ris en 12 to 15 feet at Peoria, and is still rising. The Upper Mississippi is rising, but it is not known how far it is open. Heavy rains have been genera! throughout the West, and • numerous land slides have occurred along the . railroads. CHICAGO, Feb. 10. —The flood has occasion ed aa immense damage in this vicinity to the j railrsad-. bridges, mills, telegraphs, Ac. On Friday last, at Aurora, two bridges, a j saw mill, a planing mill, and carriage factory, with large quantities of lumber, were sw-pt off. It is also feared that several lives w-rre iot. The Reck I-land Railroad Bridge, at Ma ni-igar.e. and also the Michigan Central Rail road Bridge, at Ypsilanti, and the bridge at Nile?, together with several over the St. Jo seph's and Kalamazoo rivers, were either car ried away or injured. Both branches of the Chicago river rose several fee: on Saturday. The southern per il -.bs of the city are still submerged, but the < river i? not failing. The damage to the Burlington and Railroads is estimated at $100,09 77re SustjJiehanna. —We learn fr .-m Ilarris burg that the Cumberland Valley bridge has nut 1-t n carried away, but several of the piers were injured. The ice on the railroad between Ilarrisburg and Middletown ha? been removed. The Columbia bridge ha? been injured, but net seriously. A great deal of property along the river Las been destroyed. The Frexhrt at Ttenion. —The water on Monday night at Trenton. N. J., attained an unparaheit-d height. The floor of the l>ela . ware bridge at that point is thirty-two feet , above the usual level of the river. On Mon day night the water wa- two feet above the flour of the bridge. Lancaster C- mdf. —Along the Cones toga ] the damage has been severe. The Indepen- ' dent Whig says— "The Lock House at N-v 1, occupied by Jhn Manly, as keep- r, Lai its whole fr -t.t torn r.way nr.d moved front it? foundation, whil himself and wife in the act uf se- i curing their furniture. They succeeded, hut nut without loss. It i? supposed the lock itself is entirely demolished, as one gate and , the wing wall had already yielded to the de vouring element. The saw mill opp< >ite, Mr. Limner's, is injured to a great extent. We understand that the bridge at Snavely's is swept away. The Factory Bridge i also considerably injured. Rank's flour mill was the next to suffer: the water rcse to the sec ond fit. or f the mil!, doing considerable dam- : age '*> the stuck, and tearing away a porth-n of the gable end tf the mill. The City Wa ter W<rks was flooded to the sec n-J story: the dam. her*. was level, the abutment? rf which are damaged. At Greaf ? landing the ice at one time readied within a few inches of the bridge floor. The las; bag of -ait had ju-t been conveyed from the bus- mem su ry of the F-. rwarding Company's Warehouse when the unwelcome 'sweii' intruded; the building received some slight damage. The bridge at Snavcly's wa? lifted fr rr. its abut ments and deposited some distance lower down the creek. At the Fulling mill belew, the ice, part of the bridge and au immense quantity of lumber and rails so g -rged the stream that the ice below did not move, and up this morning no damage was dene below that. It is hoped that as the stream subsides all fear of further damage will be over. The mill at Suavely? is said to be badly damaged, but we did not hear to what extent. H'jlLrvay s PiUt, the best Remedy in the Union for Female Complaints.—These Pills are particularly recommended to the citizens of the Union for their extraordinary efficacy in female complaints: and they are alike val uable either to the daughter verging into womanhood, er the mother at the turn rf life. It has been proved beyond ail contradiction, that those celebrated Pills will cure ail disor ders to which female? are peculiarly subject, and enable them to pass their critical periods of life, without exposing themselves to those dangers they too often incur by other treat ment, ILLINOIS LANDS. —The attention of farmers and others about removing to the west, ur desirous of making safe investment?, is re quested to the advertisement of Joseph Milli ken, Esq., offering for sale 20,000 acres of Prairie Lands in Central Illinois. These lauds are located iu a climate congenial to our own, near the great lines of railway that traverse the State, and for fertility and easv ] cultivation are unsurpassed. Among those who have already made purchases are Wm. Mitchell of Lewistown, Joseph Tice of Gran ville, John M. Bell of Derry, and others, who examined them in person and will cheerfully testify to their value. The lands will be sold low, and offer the strongest inducements for emigrants from this and neighboring coun ties to form neighborhoods, and thus in a measure relieve tho tediousnes? arising from j settling among straugers in a strange land.
