He has ascertained, from good authority, that provided one hundred passengers can be obtained, the proprietors of a line of first class packets will agree to furnish a passage to Liverpool .and back, and provide good accommodations and excellent fare, for the sum of sixty dollars each. It is intended to leave Boston about the middle of May, and arrive in London somewhere near the fifth of June, allowing three weeks for the passage across, which is the usual time occupied.. Passengers can remain in London three weeks, and make excursions to Gravesend, Woolwich, Greenwich, Richmond, Windsor, and other places in the neighborhood of the Great Me tropolis : also visit the theatres and public gardens, and have a “good time,'* for the space of three weeks, when they again go on board the packet, bid adieu to marie England , and arrive in Uncle Sam’s do minions about the first of August, having been ab sent ten weeks, and gained any quantity of useful intormation—and all for the sum of one hundred dollars. 1671 807 557 2~4 269 104 938 3148 2640 322 *. 33S 1424 352 2146 1475 The visitor must of course content himself with plain accommodations while in London; the Tran script's correspondent speaking from personal ac quaintance, says they will be far superior to those of any three dollar boarding house in Boston. In the course of a few weeks some definite proposi tions on this subject will probably be made. The idea is a good one. Base Swindling. —The basest kind of swindling yet practised is noticed in the New York Courier. Some mean-souled scamps advertise “500 girls wanted to work on shirts,” and when application is made, the girls are told that a deposit of one dollar is required lor the safe return of the garment. This deposit is made, and the cloth is taken, to be made into shirts at six-pence each. In due time they are returned, and the girls are told to come next day, after their work has been examined. They go next day for tVieir pay, and are then told that their work was not well done—that the cloth was spoiled—that they cannot have their pay, and that the dollar which they deposited will be kept for the cloth they have spoiled! Thus these men get the work for nothing, and make a dollar besides ; and the next day they adveitise, as before, “500 girls wanted ■ —and go through the same operation.— The Courier says these villainous frauds are not dealt with legally, because magistrates are unwil ling to offend the wealthy and influential parties against whom the complaints are made, at the ip stance of the friendless and moneyless females from whom they come. A fine set of public magistrates, and a nice sense of justice! ID~VVe copy the following from the Maysville Eagle, of the sth inst:—ln Fleming county, on Wednesday last, Wm. Ringo had an altercation with Mr. , who had married his sister, whom he killed on the spot by a single shot from a re volver: Ringo's mother ran up to expostulate when the inhuman monster fired two shots into her, body, from which she died next day. His sister, the wife of the murdered man, then ran up, when the fiend shot her through the .thigh. She is likely to recover. He then made off, but the next day was pursued by the neighbors,who found him at ihe house of another neighbor." - On seeing the com pany advancing he entered the house; he was sum moned to come out and surrender, but he refused, and while attempting to draw a pistol, was shot through the abdomen by one of the party, he then shot at another of the party wounding him slightly in the shoulder, who thereupon fired back, killing the monster instantly; the parties surrendered them selves, were examined and acquitted. Pennsylvania Congressional Election. Recapitulation. Democrats. Whigs. 9 15 Present Congress, Next Congress, A Caution to Hasty Eaters. —Mr. Wm. Bur dick, of Newport R. 1., while eating supper on Wed neday, choked himself on a piece of beef steak. Medical aid soon removed the obstruction, but the pulse had ceased, and he was pronounced dead. Artificial means of restoring life were resorted to cold water was dashed upon his face:—artificial res piration was attempted, and he was bled freely. After the last had been done consciousness was sud denly restored, he raised his head quickly, pointed to his throat, and said.“gone,,” After the over whelming feeling of suffocation and impending death, Mr. Burdock had no recollection of any painful sensation, or of any of the circumstances which occurred, until alter he was bled. \ ankee In Q.UISITI veness. —We see by the Bos ton papers that Mr. Andrews, the jailer, is constant ly beset by persons who are anxious to know if he believes Professor Webster to be really dead.

CrA Great Pigeon Roost is at present to be seen about a mile and a half .from Ravenna, Ohio where millions of pigeons congregate, producing a noise like the Toaring of the ocean, and which is heard at a great distance.

HT" We■ direct attention to the card of Mrs. Row*, Principal of the Strasborg Female Seminary. The Institution is in a flourishing condition, and under the continued charge of the accomplished Ladies who superintend it, cannot fail to ensure a large share of public patronage.

Carter, from Philadelphia, has opened a splendid assortment of Pianos, Parlor Organs, Seraphiues, Melodians, &c., in Kramph's Arcade, No. 4, to which he invites the attention of the public. He has engaged the services ol M. La Grassa, a distinguished Pianist, wha is always in attendance to entertain visiters with a rich musical treat. - We advise our readers to call soon, as Mr. Carter s stay is limited to the Ist of November. Babbit's Effervescing Yeast Powder. —We are indebted to our kind friend, C. C. VankanaNj of the Family Grocery in Kramph's Arcade, for a package of the above preparation. It has been tried in our family and found to possess all the ex cellent qualities for which it is so highly and so justly recommended. It will save housewives and bakers a world of trouble, (as they not un frequently experience in their baking operations,) and should be used by every family. We recom mend our Lady readers to give it a fair trial, being well persuaded from what we have witnessed at home, that it is a most valuable preparation. oJ*The Washington Republic of Thursday con tains Attorney General Crittenden's opinion of the constitutionality of the Fugitive Slave Bill.. He says there in any part of the law that suspends the privilege of a writ of habeas corpus, and that the whole act is not only constitutional, but is necessary for the proper enforcement of that provision of the Constitution which declares that ail fugitive slaves shall; be delivered to their mas ters ujjon claim being made for them. . This is the opinion of a Whig Attorney General, which, taken in connexion with the fact, that a Northern Whig President approved of the bill by affixing his signature to it, ought to be sufficient to silence the attacks made upon the law by Whig presses and orators nofth of Mason and Dixon's line. The Canal Commissioner Elect. f That truly able paper, the Norristown (Mont gomery County) Register, speaks of Mr. Morison, and the vote ol his native county: When Mr. Morison was nominated for the office ofuCanal Commissioner by tbe Williamsport Con vention, we promised our political friends through out the State, on behalf of our Democratic brethren at home, that Montgomery county would, on the day of election, declare her attachment to, and con fidence in the candidate of the party, with a mighty voice. Our pledge has been fully redeemed. We have given Mr. Morison a majority that he may well be proud of—had the vote in the county been more full, that majority, we are confident, would have been greatly increased. It is large enough, however, to make good the promise we gave—suf ficient, to testify to our Democratic brethren throughout the State, that the candidate they se lected from our midst, is one who stands deserved ly high in the estimation of his fellow-citizens, and possesses a hold on their affections which they are happy in being able to make manifest. Afflictive Event. —While the Hon. Hknrt A. Wise was engaged in animated debate in the Virginia Convention, on the 17th instant, at Rich mond, he received a telegraphic despatch informing him of the sudden death of his wife, at Acconiac, where he had left her but a few days before, in perfect health. The announcement caused much sensation in the Convention. Mrs. Wisf. was a daughter of the Hon. John Sargeant, of Phil a. D 7" A tremendous storm of thunder, rain and lightning, occurred in Allegheny city, on the night of Wednesday last. An entire row of houses were struck, shattering the windows in pieces, and brea king up most of the furniture. Several persons were knocked down, some of whom remained in sensible for a long time, but no lives were lost. A frame house had its entire front knocked away, leaving the inmates exposed in their beds. The rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew a perfect hurricane. Democratic Review. —The October number of this excellent periodical contains a splendid engra ved portrait of Robert Rantoue, Jr., of Massa chusetts. Central Rail Road- The opening of this great improvement to Hoi lidaysburg, was celebrated on Thursday and Friday last, by an excursion from Philadelphia and the several trains along the route, to that place. All :who participated in the jaunt were delighted beyond measure at the splendid accomodations, excellent road, and delightful and romantic scenery through which they passed. Upon the return of the cars to Lewistown, on Friday, the company partook of an excellent din ner. After the cloth wa» removed, several toasts were drank—amongst others, one to Pennsylvania, which was eloquently responded to by Mr. Buch anan. Addresses were also made by Gen. Riley. one of the Heroes of the Mexican War, Judge Kelly, Mr. Meredith, and others. ID" Root, the Daguerreotypist, must be the greatest fool in Philadelphia. He paid $625 for the first choice of seats at Jenny Linds Concert, on Thursday night. ? We begin to suspect, however, that there is a good deal of humbug about ttgp high priced mania. Should’nt wonder if Barnum has the matter pre arranged,, for effect! Th£ mere fact of the choice ticket going off at such an enormous price, is well calculated to make fools of hundreds, who, under other circumstances, would act the part of sane men and women. Miss Lind, when she returns to Sweden, will doubtless take a hearty laugh over the lolly and extravagance of we model republicans, and the newspapers of Europe will ridicule us for our sim plicity. We richly deserve it all. Remains of Geii. Taylor, We understand from the Pennsylvanian, that the remains of Gen. Zachary Taylor, late President of the are to be taken from Washington City to their final rating place at Louisville, Ky. They are to leave Washington on Friday next, and will reach Baltimore at S o’clock, where Col. Tay lor and Col. Bliss will take possession of the corpse. They will then proceed over the York and Cumberland, or Susquehanna Road, cross the Col umbia bridge, and proceed thence to Harrisburg, and so over the Central Railroad to Pittsburg, where they will take the steamer to Louisville.— The Portsmouth and Central Railroad Companies have offered to pass the remains and the escort free of expense. Monday morning week the following changes were made in the hours of arrival and departure of the different trains over the Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad • The morning mail train leaves Columbia at 8 o clock A.

Mr. Buchanan, and then transferring a portion of their enmity to Col. Bigler, and depriving him of tbe vote of the county in the State Convention of .1848, in violation of the known will of a majority of the party, when most of them knew then, and all are constrained to admit now, that had he re ceived the Gubernatorial nomination instead of Mr. Longstbeth, our success in the campaign of that year would have been certain. But the wonder is still further increased, at the present a similar game is attempted to be played over again without any apparent, object other than a disposi tion to place* the Democracy of the county in a false position, and debar them from having a voice in the nomination of Col. Bigler, when it is certain that nearly every county in the State has declared for him, when his nomination is as certain as any event yet in the future can be, and when it is believed that a large majority of the party here desire his nomination.. We.repeat that this suicidal policy has caused the Democracy elsewhere to be aston ished, and the enquiry is very common—“ What is the cause of all this ?” and “Why is it that the at tempt has been made and persevered in, to estrange the Democracy of Lancaster county from their brethren throughout the State?” The.true secret of all this opposition to Col. Bigler has at length leaked out, and may be found in the puerile attack made on the. Address of the Democratic County Committee, by the last Lan casterian. It is is simply because of the friendship existing between that gentleman and Mr. Buchan an. The hostility of the editor of the Lancasterian to Mr. Buchanan is so malignant and uncompro mising, that he would again be willing to jeopar dize the State and tbe Nation to gratify his personal ; hate of this distinguished statesman! In this feeling the great body of the Democracy of the county do not participate. No man stands higher in the esti mation of all his neighbors, of every political party, than Mr. Buchanan. He is beloved by the people, and we hesitate not to say that there is no other man in the Union who could poll as large a vote in Lancaster county, if he should receive the Pres idential nomination. The Lancasterian knows this full well, and its talk about a willingness to join issue on the Presidential question, is all gammon— intended solely forieffect abroad. Here, where the j truth is known, it is laughed at as perfectly lidicu j lous and absurd. The writer for that paper k’nowß, and would so state if he were permitted to give his honest opinion, that in such an issue before the De mocracy of Lancaster county, the enemies of Mr. Buchanan would be in a meagre minority ; and at the proper time, when the question of the Presiden : cy fairly comes up, they will hesitate long before they run the risk of encountering an overwhelming and ignominious defeat, notwithstanding all their unmeaning bluster at the present time. This controversy is not of Mr. Buchanan's seek- ing. Neither he nor his friends wish to make the Presidential question an issue at this early day.— But it is his and their desire that the Democracy of the great county of Lancaster should occupy a proper position on the Gubernatorial question. If Col. Frazf.r had any. the remotest chance for a nomination, they would make no objection to his receiving the vote of Lancaster county, provided it was fairly obtained. But when it must be evident to every intelligent person in the community that he has no earthly prospect of such an event, inas much as the question is already settled in the pub lic mind, they consider it the height of folly to frit ter away the influence of the six thousand Demo crats of the county, in grasping at the unmeaning, empty bauble of a complimentary vote—the Dele gates to be used for ulterior purposes, and to ac complish an object which has heretofore been stu diously kept in the dark. The Address of the County Committee, to which fthe Lancasterian takes exception; and which it re fuses to publish, is a document of uncommon power, truthfulness and ability, and will be so regarded wherever it is read throughout the State. If the positions of the Address be “ false and untenable,” as that paper would fain make it be believed, why not give it an insertion, as requested, and let its readers judge for themselves 1 The very best way, we apprehend, to expose its “ false and untenable positions,” would be to give it all the publicity pos sible, and in this way appeal to the intelligence of the people. The mere ipse dixit of our neighbor will not satisfy sensible men. Neither the County Committee, nor its talented Chairman, dread the most thorough investigation of the Addiess; —on the contrary, having full faith in the intelligence of the party* they are'only anxious that every Demo crat in the county shall read it carefully and pon der well over its contents. If the positions and arguments of the Address be “false and untenable," it is necessary that the people should have an op portunity of reading it, so as to be satisfied of their falsity ;—if true, then it is equally important that they should all be made acquainted with the truths it embodies. Truth never fears the light—it is only error that seeks concealment. With regard to the eharge of disorganization brought against the County Committee by the paper in question, we shall at present only observe —as this article is too much extended already— that that is a question for the whale Democracy of the county to decide, after they shall have given the proceedings and action of the Committee a careful and intelligent consideration. That they will decide in favor of right and justice, we have not a doubt, and that the charge of disorganiza tion, fall where it may, we are equally certain will not be fastened on their shoulders—the twaddle of the Lancasterian to the contrary notwithstanding. 1D“ The gentleman to whom common rumor ascribes the editorials of the Lancasterian talks as flippantly about “ good Democrats,” in his attack upon the County Committee, as though he were the very pink of consistency himself; —when the fact is that, until very recently, he was looked upon as the file leader of one branch of modern Whiggery—and, If a very common report does him no injustice, he voted for Mr. Stevens, at the recent election, and thus assisted in defeating the excellent candidate of the Democratic party, Dr. Muiilen bero! This may have been owing to his predi lections for the “raw head and bloody bones” of defunct Anti-masoury, but it speaks badly for one who assumes to control the action of any portion of the Democratic party. “ People who live in glass hiouses should never throw stones,” is the old adage, ana* might be studied with some profit by that gen tleman, if he wishes to avoid a controversy which may, as it progresses, bring to public view again certain unpleasant reminiscences. The political character of each and every mem ber of the County Committee is open for the scru tiny of the Democracy of the County—nor do they fear an investigation, even by the erudite gentleman who does the writing for the Lancasterian. We look upon this attack as the very height of impu dence, coming as it does from one whose untainted, unsuspected Democracy, if he carries about him any of the commodity at all, is posterior to the election of fust Tuesday week ! Truly, the Democrats of Lan caster county will have sunk to a low ebb in the scale of political'morality, and greatly degenerated from the high character they sustained a few years a*o, when they deserve to be lectured for their in consistencies by such a hybrid politician as the anti-masonic editor of the Lancasterian. Anofber Fire in Colombia. On Saturday evening last, five or six stables were burned in Columbia. The fire, which was no doubt the work of an in'cendiary, commenced in a stable in the rear of the Columbia Bank. Several of the Hone Companies in itfi is City, went up by special express, for the purpose of assisting to arrest‘the flames. The Fugitive Slave Law. This law is violently opposed by the Abolition ists of the North, and their papers and orators are counseling resistance to. its execution in several of the large cities and towns—in this way exciting the colored people to deeds of blood, which if per sisted in for any great length of time must bring about a war of extermination between the races, and produce a terrible contest between the northern and southern sections of the Republic. This is a state of things which is greatly to be deplored by every friend of his country, and should be frowned upon by the press—the great moulder of public opinion. Generally speaking this is the case; but we are sorry to see an exception even in our own Tittle City. The Union £ Tribune of last week contains a communication which is well calculated to bring about the very state of things in this community we are all anxious to avoid. We allude to the extraordinary production signed u Alpha.” That we may not be accused of doing injustice to that paper, we copy the article entire, and ask the attention of all our readers to it: For the Union and Tribune. Mr. Editor :—Already have several high minded Commissioners of the U. S. Court (Col. Kane and others,) and Deputy Marshalls resigned their offices, lest they - should be called on to aid in executing the infamous Fugitive Slave law.. This is manly, and it is to be hoped will be universally followed. I tiust no man will be found in Lancaster county base, mean, despicable enough to accept the office of Commissioner. If any .should be found so low, he should be hooted and scorned by every man, woman and child in the county. It would be more honorable to associate with a common hangman or thief. I observe a fellow named McAllister, in Dauphin county, has accepted the office and acted under it. Of what stuff are the citizens of Harris burg made to endurfe his presence ? ALPHA. “ Buckshot and Ball!' 5 It is rumored that the somewhat celebrated Wm. B. Reed, the defeated Whig candidate for Prosecu ting Attorney of Philadelphia, who acquired con siderable notoriety during the “Buckshot and Ball" administration of Governor Ritner, intends treating the election of his Democratic competitor, Mr. Kneiss, “ as if it had never been held.. ’ and thus carrying the doctrines of the memorable Buckshot war into practical effect! Poor Reed ! He hates amazingly to let go his hold upon the public teat—and, like old Joe Ritner. is not willing to surrender the spoils, even when fairly beaten at the polls. Like that administration —reeking with the corruption of the ballot boxes at Millerstown, Youngwomanstown, Halifax and elsewhere—he judges others by his own standard, and has the unblushing impudence to charge fraud and unfairness on the part of the Democrats! It is, doubtless, all labor wasted on his part. He is too well known in Philadelphia and elsewhere, to expect any body to believe his infamous charge of fraud upon the Democratic party. The people of his distiict have decided against his pretensions, and, whether willing or unwilling, he will have to submit to his fate. Alas, poor Yorick! Xfon. Howell Cobb* This gentleman, Speaker of the House of Rep. resentatives, arrived at hie home in Athens, Ga., on the Cth inst., and on the very next day commenced addressing meetings in favor of the Union, and* in opposition to the revolutionists who follow the lead of Governor Towns. Speaker Cobb is a true patriot, and his untiring labors in behalf of the Union will endear him to the true hearted Democracy, in every section of the Republic. The American people will hold him in grateful remembrance, and elevate him to a yet higher post of honor than the one he so ably tilled during-the late session of Congress. Valentine Best. This man defeated llkndiuck B. Wright, the Democratic candidate lor Congress in his district. But, whilst we denounce the treachery that lost the Democratic party a Congressman, it is a source of gratification to knoflv that the traitor has received his desert. He run as a volunteer candidate for the Senate, a post that he..disgraced last winter, and has been beaten in the district 1784 votes by C. A. Buckalew, the Democratic candidate. Supposed Mail Robbers Arrested. Five persons were arrested in Philadelphia, on Monday nigh't of last week, on suspicion of being concerned in the mail robbery the Saturday night previous. Their names are John McCartney, Thos. Brannan, John Bell, Thomas Vetch and Robert McDowell.- They were examined by the Mayor. One witness testified positively to having seen them with the Mail Pouches on the night of the robbery. They were committed for trial at the next term of the U. S. District Court. In respect to the robbery, it would seem from the accounts that the Mail Agent is charged with a lack of vigilance, to use the modest term. The Pennsylvanian says: The driver and brakeman were in front of the baggage car, to which the mail car was attached, while the mail agent, Mr. Anderson, was in the passenger car, several hundred yards behind, and out of sight. The mail car was then left at the mercy of any one bold enough to force it. All the robbers had to do was to provide themselves with a key to the company's locks, jump on behind, open the door, throw oat as many they conld, before the cars got under full headway again, and then jump off and dispose of them.. And this is doubtless the way in which it was done. The Chester County Murder. —The Upland Union, referring to the diabolical' murder ot Miss Sharpless, says: We know of but one parellel for it, and that was the murder of Wesley Patton, a youth murdered by Jabez Boyd, on Sunday, in the house of his parents, while the family were attend ing religious worship. The scenes of these mur ders are about four miles apart, and what is singu larly impressive on the minds of citizens is, that Pharoah, the accused, and now confined as the murderer ot Miss Shaspless, is a close relative of the. wretched Boyd, tried, condemned and hanged for the murder of Patton. We learn that the young lady had for several days, labored under the fear of the accused murderer, having seen him on different occasions about the school house with a gun, both in the morning and evening, and had used the pre caution of having scholars with her, both at her coming in the morning and leaving in the evening. The Saturday on which she was shot, was the last of her school term, and her brother was to come, and did come on that day to take her home to the beloved family circle. On that fatal morning, she was unattended by any of her scholars, and the bloody deed was consummated, no doubt, by the villain who had beeen waiting an oppurtunity, and who knew that was the last that would offer, ID*Hon. James Bcchanas paid our town a visit on Wednesday afternoon last, and was called on in the evening, at “Craigjp Allentown Hotel,” by a large number of the citizens, irrespective of party, who were anxious to pay their respects to so dis tinguished a visiter. Mr. B. travelled without os tentation or parade, and having, of course, come unannounced, no demonstrations of a public char acter were made to receive him. He, however like a true democrat, seemed to prefer that free, familiar intercourse with his fellow citizens which enabled all to enjoy the pleasures of conversation, rather than the pomp and show of public meetings. He started the next morning on his way to Bethle hem and Easton, leaving behind pleasurable ?ensa tions on the part of all who had made his acquain tance.—JUentoum Democrat. Elections.—' The following States have yet to vote for members of Congress this year. The date of the elections, and the political character of the present Congressional delegations, are as follows : States. Election. Whig. Dem. F. S. New York, Nov. 5 32 1 1 New Jersey, Nov. 6 4 1 - Michigan, Nov. 5 1 2 - Massachusetts, Nov. 11 7 - 1 Delaware, Nov. 12 1 0 - William M. Beetem, Esq., has been elected Cashier of the Carlisle Deposits Bank, in place of William S. Cobean, Esq., resigned. Tbe Next Governor. We observe that a number of the leading Demo cratic papers throughout the State have placed the name of Col. -WILLIAM BIGLER, of Clearfield county, at the masthead as their choice for the next Governor. In many counties Delegates have been instructed in his favor. From the indications man* fested through various sources, there is but little doubt ot bis almost unanimous nomination by the Democratic State Convention, and the certainty of his election in ISSI by an overwhelming majority. Among the many prominent men of the Democrat ic party named for that station, there is none more worthy and deserving than Col. Bigler. He will play sweepstakes in Bucks, that's certain. —Doyles town Den'iocrat. This school opened last evening, under charge of Mr. W. W. Tatlor, as Principal, and Messrs. Liv ingston & Row, Assistants. The school is intended for the benefit of young men and apprentices whose employments prevent them from attending day school. The Board of Directors feel confident that this school is calculated to do a vast deal of good —they therefore trust that it will be properly sus tained and encouraged. The school commences with about GO scholars, which number will no doubt be greatly increased in a short time. Tbe visiting and superintending Committee of the Board, for the school, is composed of Thomas 11. Burrowes, Esq, Geo. Sanderson, and Hon. A. L Hayes. Distinguished Visitor. —The Hon, James Buchanan, returning homeward from Easton, Al lentown, Bethlehem, Ac., tarried in our borough on. Saturday evening last, and was called upon at the Hotel of Mr. John Hartranft by quite a number of our citizens, many of whom for the first time had the pleasure of taking him by the hand. His com. mandfng form and intelligent expression harmonized well with the ideas one would have formed of the man, whose towering intellect has frequently been brought before us in point, of services rendered his country as a statesman. Dignified yet social in disposition, all who form his acquaintance are im pressed favorably with the man.
