FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER: william Zeati9lo, OF FAYETTE COUNTY. Ba - We are indebted to our friend HENSLER, Confectioner at No. 6 East King sreet, for a hand some treat of his most debious Ice Cream. yiETWe neglected to mention sooner, that our ung friend, JOHN M. AMWEG, Esq., has been ap pointed a Clerk in the Surveyor General's office at Harrisburg, by Mr. Brawley. Mr. A. entered upon the duties of his appointment about three weeks ado, and we have no doubt he will discharge the gust with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the appointing power. I:l7The Corner Stone of the new German Re formed Church, in Orange street, is to be laid with appropriate ceremonies, on Sunday next. Several Clergymen from a distance will be in attendance.

A permit for any other days in the week, is, at all times freely given by either of the Inspeciors.— ; Persons on business, need no permit. THE Scnoor, JounNan, for May, is an excellent number, showing a decided improvement over the previous nuiribersp , good as they were. The pro ductions of several intelligent correspondents give additional interest to the Journal. ET Tun. CAMPAIGNER, is. to be the title of a campaign paper, to be issued immediately after the rising of the Democratic National Convention, from the office of the Baltimore Argus, and furnished weekly to subscribers at the rate of 50 cents per copy. The editors are spirited and racy writers, and we have no doubt they will make "The Cam paigner" a valuable auxiliary in the approaching_ tsidential contest. Those of our readers who may wish to have the paper during the campaign, will send their orders vith the cash enclosed) to RICHARDSON, CLOUD (1 Bro., Baltimore, Md. . NEW Pram PAPER.—We have received several numbers of the Daily Union, a new penny paper which has just been established in the city of Pitts burg, by an association of journeymen printers. It unfurls to the breeze the State nominations of the 1 Democratic party. Lynde Elliot, a gentlemen pos sessing considerable experience as a publisher, has tie control of the editorial department. Its appear ance is neat, and bears unmistakeable evidence of having passed through the hands of gentlemen who ate thoroughly acquainted with`their business. We 1 m i elcomii it as a valuable co-laborer in the cause of Democracy, and trust the enterprise may be lib erialy sustained. Fnola Thum—Dates to :20th March from Salt Lake city, have been received. The news is not specially important. All was quiet. The Mormon leaders have taken an, industrious turn, and incite tbe people to the prosecution of useful pursuits.— Ilrigham Young is said to have a loom in his sit ting room, on which family have woven five hundred yards of cloth during the present season. EC" Mae. ADAMS, the widow of the late ex-Pres- JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, was a native of Mary land, and a daughter COI. JOHNSON, of that State, who was Consul of the United States at London during General WASHINGTON'S Administration. Her marriage with Mr. ADAMS took place in 1794, , tiLondon. MRS. ADAMS died at the ripe old age of seventy-eight. ET There has been some dispute between the Hon. John Barney, of Baltimore, and the French Minister at Washington, and Mr. Barney sent the minister a challenge from Baltimore. The French man, however, refused to notice it, and' thus, at present, the matter rests. SENATORIAL TERMS EXPIRED.—The terms a l f the following Pennsylvania Senators, being eight Democrats and three Whigs, have expired and their places must be filled by the election of new ones, at the next General Election:— Democrats—Charles Frailey, Schuylkill county; Thomas S. Fernon, Philadelphia Co. ; Henry Ful -dm, York ; John W. Guernsey, Tioga, Potter, Mc- Kean, Elk, Clearfield and Jefferson; J. Y. Jones , Montgomery; Henry A. Muhlenberg, Berks ; Wm ,F l . Packer, Centre, Lycoming, Sullivan and Clinton; Conrad Shimer, Northampton and Lehigh. J figs—William Haslett, Butler, Beaver and Law rence; Bejamin Malone, Bucks; John H. Walker , Erie and Crawford. On yesterday week a violent hail-storm passed over Reading. We had a small sprinkling of it here the same day. Since then the weather has rather cool tor the season. • '0- Nothing worth noting is doing in Congress . embers in both branches appear to be too busily engaged in President-making to attend to their le g' itimate business. - We suppose that immediately after the nominations are made at Baltimore, for President and Vice President, something will be done in the way of legislation. Wha's wrong with "0735E11NY:1C of the Led ger! He seems to have ceased altogether specula Ling about Presidential candidates. ErThe Maine Liquor Law bill as passed by the Massachusetts Legislature, has been vetoed by Governor Boutwell. 1J The Nashville UIIiDID has a strong article fa voring the nomination of Gen. PILLOW, of Tenn, essee, for l the office of Vice President. 7The Legislature of Maryland has passed final ly the bill prohibiting the circulation of foreign small notes in that State, after the Ist of October next. FINE GROWING WELTHEIL—The Germantown Telegraph says:—"We have had exceedingly fine growing weather the past week. The newly sowed oats have come up beautifully; the grass looks flourishingly; and the wheat gets on better than any one could have thought possible three weeks ago; indeed some farmers inform us that their wheat never looked better. The corn sprouts are already poking out their noses in.some fields; and the fruit never promised more abundantly. On the whole we have just cause for thankfulness." " The Rev. Mr. Green, has been sentenced in Phila- delphia to 21 months imprisonment-on two bills of indictment for swindling. He pleaded guilty. Reduction of Fare. We are pleased to learn tint' the Board of Canal Commissioners have adopted a resolution to reduce the fare on the Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad to 23. cents per - mile; instead of 3 cents which has been heretofore paid. The Directors of the Penn sylvania Railroad Companylhave also reduced the fare on their road, in a corresponding ratio. The fare from Philadelphia to Lancaster will now be $1,75, and from Philadelphia to Pittsburg s 9.— This is an important*movedient, and must greatly" increale the travel over thisi route. Whilst redu cing the fare, however, we think the Board might as well have put it down tol2 cents per mile, and we believe they would have made money to the Commonwealth by the transaction. Still, we are thankful for as much as we have got, and live in hopes that a still farther reduction will shortly take place. It is also stated in the Philadelphia papers that the Canal Commissioners have given the exclusive right of transporting passengers over the Colum bia Railr9ad to Messrs. Dock Sc BINGHAM, for four years, from the first of July next. How this will work we cannot say; but it strikes our mind as being wrong in principle tol create a'monopoly of the kind. The Road, it seems to us, should be as free as possible to competition, and in this way the public would be much better accommodated—be sides, we think, the revenue i ro-the Commonwealth would be greater. This is the impression made upon our mind by the report of the new arrange ment. Perhaps we are mistaken; but, until better informed on the subject, we shall always deprecate the granting of a monopoly Lon any of the public works of the Commonwealt i . “Straws ShOw,” FITZ HENRY WARREN, the noted executioner of Postmasters for the Whig l odministration, has re signed hie post as Assistant !Postmaster General.— The cause of Mr. WAIIREN . 3 resignation is'said to be an expression of opinion in favor of the nom ination ,of General Sum] for the Presidency, which, his superior, the Postmaster General, said was unbecoming in a head of a bureau to express. There is a rumor prevalent at Washington, that other resignations will take place for the same rea son. A Washington letter rriter says "Mr. Fitz Henry Warren's resignation is full of political meaning. 'Lowliciess is young ambition's ladder,' and the humble exp'ected to be exalted.- FITZ HENRY no doubt sees that no man but SCOTT stands any chance of getting the Whig nom ination, and in the hope of a l l btaining something bet ter in future under the man who will be the ncmi nee, he resigns his place; straws show which way the wind blows. The Asistant Postmaster is an adroit and far seeing politician, and like an old sai lor,.l deserts the sinking ship of Captain FILL3IOIIE, preferrring to take his chi:times with the vessel Of Captain SCOTT, which is soon to be launched on the sea of politics.—Pennsyl Erect Virginia Every Congressional district in thOld Dominion -sends up BUCHANAN delega es to the National COll North Carolina has take the same position.

The Keokuk Dispatch, a paper friendly to Gen, Cess, which publishes the proceedings of the Con vention, says :—" The Presidential question was ti wisely left untouched, and t e Delegates will go un instructed." 11:7 - The. Democratic c'orivention of Arkansas in structed their Delegates to the National Convention for DOUGLASS or BociuswAr for President, and Gen. PILLOW, of Tennessee, for Vice President. A res olution of instruction for Gen. Cass was laid on the table indefinitely. lEr The Delegates to the National Convention, from all the States in thelUnion. are now elected, and a week or ten days more will decide the great question of the nomination for the Presidency which has agitated the public i mind for the last two years. We presume every body is rejoiced at its near approach. lII' The Secretary of the Commonwealth has given notice that proposals will be received at the State Treasury, until the 12th of June next, for the North Brandi Canal loari of $850,000, at a rate of . interest not exceeding Ti per cent., payable half dvalent.

If:gracious BANE. Nor pneun.—A very in genious bank-note fraud was detectea in Philadel phia on Saturday. It was a genuine five dollar bill of the new plate on the York County Bank, altered to a fifty, by pasting the words and figures of the higher denomination over those on the bill of the lower denomination, or 'rather in the place where they had been, for the t lece had been cut out, and when held to the light, a quick sight was necessary to detect the place of joining. To the eye it was a perfect fifty dollar biland.as such it had passed tbrough at least one bank. When shown to a bro ker, suspicion of its genuineness was awakened only firom the fact that the vignette was observed to be rue same as that on thn five dollar bills, contrary to the rule of the banks, always to have a different vignette on their larger ills from those on bills of the smaller denomination.

It is, with the new extensions nearly seven hundred feet in length, and well proportioned. Occupying an elevation of about one hundred feet above the town, and fronting on the Pennsylvania canal and rail road, and overlooking the great Cumberland valley, with the Blue mountain on the right flank, and the South mountain on the left, it presents to the spec tator, occupying a position on the portico, one of the most beautiful views that can be found any where in the State. Every thing about it looks as though it was in charge of a gentleman of great judgment and experince in the management of such an institution, and with proper facilities afforded to the Superintendent, it cannot fail to become one of the noblest institutions in the country. In gassing through the wards we were surprised to find that a large number of the patients were of a class that, in our judgment, should scarcely be sent to this institution. The great aim and object of a lunatic asylum is to cure the recent cases of in sanity, and not merely to take care of those who are hopelessly incurable; and unless the managers of the institution are sustained in selecting from the persons offeting the best cases, the institution itself will fall into disrepute. Up to this time there have been about seventy pa tients received, the great majority of whom are ei ther confirmed idiots, or persons whose mental fac ulties have been so much impaired by disease or otherwise, that they are in a hopeless situation. The condition of these can scarcely .. be improved by any treatment, no matter how skilful. The recent cases of insanity can be treated with great success, and an effort should be made to pre vent the hospital from being filled up with incura bles, to the exclusion of those who could be treated successfully, and fully restored to health and reason. We found that a number had been sentenced by our courts to imprisonment in the asylum for offen ces committed against society. This, so far as it goes, is making nothing more nor less than a peni tentiary for insane culprits, instead of a hospital for the treatment of persons of disordered intellect. In these remarks we do not wisli'M be considered as objecting to the reception of incurables, it there is room for them, but what we contend for is that the incurables should give way for those who can be cured, as soon as any such offer. This was the original intention of those who moved in the estab lishment of the hospital; the law contemplates that this shall be the rule adopted, and we hope that our courts and the directors of the poor in the various counties will conform to the laws and regulations of the institution, and that it may increase in use fulness from year to year.—Democratic Union. The Appropriation Bill The Act passed by the late Legislature to provide for the ordinary expenses of government, the repair of the public canals and railroads, and other special and general objects, (for a copy of which the Hon. Eruneisr BANNS, Auditor General, will please ac cept our thanks,) appropriates the total sum of $4,- 542,433 54. It also authorizes the Governor and State Treas urer to borrow five millions of dollars, at an interest not exceeding I per cent., to redeem 6 per cent. State Loans which fell due in . 46 and '47. The two following sections (34 & 36) of the Act, will be interesting to a number of our readers: SEC. 34. That from and after the first day of June next, no officer on the public works shall be al lowed to contract a debt against the Commonwealth for any purpose whatever, except in cases of breach es or damages by fire; but all the materials pur chased for the use of said works shall be pad for in cash at the time of delivery of such materials, and the laborers, agents, and subordinates, employed by said officers, shall be paid in lull at the,end of each month; if the appropriation made by this act, for the repair of damage by flood or fire, should not be sufficient for that purpose, the State Treasurer is hereby authorized to pay out of any money in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, such further sum as the Governor, Auditor General, State Treasurer and Canal Commissioners, may deem necessary to complete such repair; and it shall be the duty of the Superintendents on the Philadelphia and COlumbia, and Allegheny Portage railroads, and the supervisors on the several di% isions of the canals, at the close of each month, after the expir ation of the above period, to make out and transmit to the Canal Commissioners and Auditor General, a detailed statement of their respective accounts, showing 'he amounPof money disbursed, the num ber and names of the laborers, agents, and subordi nates employed, the number of days work performed and the amount paid each, the kind and quantity of materials purchased, the price paid for the same, and the name of the person or persons from whom purchased; and it shall be the duty of the Auditor General to cause a condensed abstract from said accounts to be published for two weeks, in at least one weekly newspaper on the proper line or:division, which abstract shall exhibit the average daily pay for labor, and the detailed price paid for the different kind of materials on said divisions respectively, with the names of the persons from whom pur chased, the kind of materials and and the price paid therefor: Provided, that no purchase of a smaller amount than ten dollars shall be published as afore said. SEC. 36. That all outstanding claims against the Commonwealth for labor done, and material fur nished on the finished lines of the public works, con tracted prior to the first day of June next, shall be presented to the superintendents and supervisors on the respective divisions of the said works, who sh all forward the same to the Auditor General for final settlement, accompanined by any information they may possess in reference to said accounts THE WASHINGTON AIONIISIENT.—An interesting ceremony, says the National Intelligencer, took place on Thursday, in the great Hall of the Capitol. We allude to the formal presentation to the Washington Monument Society of the block of native copper contributed by the State authorities of Michigan to the Monument. At 12 o'clock the Managers of the Society repaired to the Capitol, and having, to gether with a crowd of persons of both sexes. drawn thither by the occasion, assembled around the block, which rested on a truck in the middle of the' rotun da, the Hon. Andrew Harvie, a member of the Leg islature of Michigan, in the name and on the behalf of his State, tendered the beautiful present to the Monument Association. He accompanied the act by an address, truly appropriate, eloquent, and fe licitous, which, with the happy and impressive re sponse of Mr. Lenox, the Mayor of the city, (speak ing in behalf of the Association,) we hope to be able to give in a future paper. This remarkable block of native metal weighs upwards of two thousand pounds, and consists of a solid mass of pure copper as it came from the mine, on Lake Superior, and has undergone no change save being squared and polished. The inscriptions are of native silver, in serted in the face of the block, the two metals form ing a beautiful contrast, a'hd the whole constituting a splendid and unique, as well as patriotic contri bution from the Peninsular State. THE WHEELIS G BRIDGE CASE.-A Washington letter in the N. Y. Times says— It is understood that the Engineer appointed by the Suprime Court during the winter term, to de cide upon the sufficiency of the remedies proposed by the Wheeling Bridge, in abatement of the nui sance which the Court declared it to be, made its report on Thursday last. lam informed that it is adverse to the bridge in every particular. The Company proposed to remove the obstructions by a draw. Mr. McAlpine decides that a draw in the suspension bridge over the main channel is not prac ticable. The bridge over the western channel, be tween the island and the Ohio shore, is built upon piers, and, it therefore admits of a draw, but this channel is not much used in the navigation of the river, and would not be safe under the obstruction which would still be left after the proposed draw were provided. The motion to modify the decree for the elevation or the absolute removal of the bridge, will be ar gued in a few days, and there is little doubt, that the Court will confirm its previous judgment' and issue the necessary order. The office of sheriff for New York city and coun ty, is said to yield an income to Mr. Carnley, the occupant, of nearly $lOO,OOO per annum. The Electoral Vote It has been virtually Fettled in Congress that both South Carolina - and California shall have a member of Congress on their several fractions the letter of the law giving it to Carolina, and the spirit to California. This increases the whole num ber of members to 234, and of Presidential Elect ors to 296, making 149 necessary to a thoicelt-148 being a tie—or 198, if the two-thirds rule prevails. The electoral vote in each State, under the new ap portionment, as compared with that of ISIS, will be as follows: States Maine New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, , l3 12 Rhode Islands, 4 4 Connecticut, 6 6 . New York, 35 36 • New Jersey, 7 1 ' 7 Pennsylvania 27 26 Delaware, 3 ' ' 3' .

The ;same States would now cast 161 votes, or 12 more than a majority. Illinois and Missouri each gain two; Massachusetts, Penn-, sylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Mississippi, and Arkansas gain one each; New Hampshire, Ver mont, New York, North Carolina, and South Car olina each lose one, and Virginia loses two. The other States have the same number of membeis and electors as before, and California is added to the number.—New York Tribune. ' A Curious Letter. The following highly important and intensely interesting letter was written a little more than a year ago, by Gen. SCOTT to one of the Whig mem bers of our State Legislature. We believe it has not yet been published in any of the Whig papers of this city. and we therefore think it advisable to let the people of Lancaster county know what are the sentiments of the favorite Whig candidate for the Presidency. The letter itself is a curiosity in its way: WASHINGTON, March 26, 1621 Sir received your letter, (marked "confiden tial,") hi which after committinc , the error of sup. posing me to be "fully before the country as the Whig candidate for the Presidency," you proceed to interrogate me on many points of grave public in terest. ar Permit me to say, that considering we shall probably have a Whig candidate for the Presidency through a National Convention, and that I cannot be its nominee except by the force of the unsolici ted partiality of large masses of my countrymen— Considering, also, that if my character or.prin ciples be not already known it would be idle to sup ply the deficient impressions by mere paper proles' sions of wisdom and virtue made for the occasion— And considering that if I answer your queries, 1 must go on and answer others already belore me, as well as the long series that would inevitably follow, TO Tun DISGUST OF THE PUBLIC— ]. will beg permission to close the acknowledg ment of your letter by subscribing mysell,,with great respect, your obedient servant, WINFIELD SCOTT. , Esq., Harrisburg, Pa. P. S.—l must add that I write and say nothing on public subjects which I am unwilling to see pub lishett„ W. S. Now there's a letter as is a letter for you, post cript and all! The correspondence of Wilkins Mi cawber, Esq., is no touch to old Chapultepees.— The clause, in which he so candidly admits that his letters are disgusting to the public, must be par ticularly refreshing to our Whig friends! Where's the " COMMITTEE V How About Scott. The New York Express, treating of the Presi dency and Whig candidates, says: " We repeat that it is our deliberate, sober con viction, that if Gen. Scott be run blind,—as the schemers in Washington now intend to have him run,—Vermont will be the only electoral vote he will have for the Presidency. We do not say this in a spirit of threat,—for we have ourselves great confidence in the principles of Gen. Scott,' and have reason to know, that he himself; is a friend of the , Compromise Bills,—but we cannot persuade our people, that running him North to repeal the Fu gitive Slave Law, and running him South against that repeal, will not again bring into Congress just such consequences as those of 1850, which for weeks could not choose a Speaker even,—and wh'ose ' sittings at last become so alarming, as to jeopard the peace "and the very existence octhe We may try to persuade them to the contrary,— but the effort will be all in vain, and we shall all i perish as politicians in the attempt. To show our sincerity, we need only add, that if the Northern States, as represented in the National, Convention, are permitted by any , considerable por tion. of our Southern countrymen to go into Con vention, and put up Gen. Scott, without any decla ration of principles on the Fugitive Slave provision of the Constitution, we shall certainly go as at present advised, for Gen. Scott, with oar section of the Union. We repeat, we shall never fight South ern battles upon Northern ground, if the South is not united on the field of action. Gen'. Scott per sonally we have no objection to, and we can sup port him without any sacrifice of principle,—nay, even with confidence in him as a man. Bnt the tail that will come on with him as the candidate of unknown constitutional principles, is of just such men as surrounded, enveloped and Galphanized the Administration of Gen. Taylor,—and they are such men as can never administer the .government of this country." NOVEL AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT!—On Thursday morning last, just after the hands engaged in the Rolling Mill of Messrs. Harris, Burnish Co., at Fishbach, adjoining this Borough, R, had commenced the labors of the day, an accident occurred 'which threatened utter destruction to the building and all it contained; it seems indeed miraculous that of the 22 men who were in the Mill ht the time no lives were lost. The Fly Wheel which is attached to the Engine, and composed of cast iron, fifteen feet in diameter, weighing upwards of twelve tons, while running with tremendous velo - city burst asunder, throwing the parts in every direction. One portion weighing from 1500 to 2000 pounds, was thrown tlirough the roof of the building in an easterly direction more than one hundred yards where it struck the earth, completely burying itself. Another part weighing not less than three tons, 'passed up almost perpendicularly through the heavy frame timbers and roof, as though they were composed of jack straws, and was seen by persons outside, when at an elevation of some 50 or 60 feet; in its descent other portions of the roof were crushed. Again, a fragment struck the main iron shaft 124 inches in diameter, to which the wheel was attached, taking out a piece some twelve inches in length almost as smooth as if done with a straw. It hardly appears credible that in this fearful crash but one of the twenty-two men employed was injured, and he a fireman whose name we could not learn, had his head badly cut, his shoulder bruised and wrist dis located. The loss to the proprietors is certainly very con sides able, yet through the assistance of Messrs. Wren 4- Brothers, Machinists, the damage, is al ready nearly repaired, and the Mill will be again in operation, probably to-day or tomiorrow.—:Polts villa Emporium. The New York Times of Wednesday morning says of the first of Madame Goldschinials farewell concerto, given the previous evening— Jenny Goldschmidt's Concert last evening was attended by one of the largest audiences lbat has ever been in Metropolitan Hall. It is useless to attempt any elaborate notice of her singing—the time for that has long since passed. She was received with the warmest enthusiasm, and heartily applauded throughout the Concert, as were also her associates. The Roman Catholics of Piftsburg are building a cathedral, to cost $150,000, with a steeple 330 feet high. It is to be 220 by 120 feet in size, and will seat 10,500 persons. Agricultural Meeting The Lancaster County Agricultural Society met in the Mechanics' Institute on Monday, 17th inst. A number of new members were proposed and elected. A committee consisting of Hon. John Strohm, J. Myers and Jacob B. Garber, Esquires, were appointed to issue an address to the people of the county, to urge upon thetti to make prePara titans, in cultivating fruit, grain crops, &c., and also in Mechanical Productions, for the coming State Fair, to be 'held in Lancaster in-October next.

Benjamin Champneys,Esq , then stated the object of the meeting, alluding in appropriate and eloquent terms, to the oha'racter, services, and ability of the distinguished deceased, and concluded by submitting the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted Resolved, That the members of the Bar express their profound regret at the public loss sustained by the lamented decease of Richard Coulter, Esq., one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, whose high juidicial character was distinguished by a combination of intellectual qualifications, with urbanity, of demeanor and scrupulous fidelity in the performance of his duties, which gave dignity to the Bench and endeared him to the profession and the Community. Reso:ved, That in memory of the deceased the usu al badge of mourning be worn for the period of thirty days. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the newspapers ot the BJI ough of Har risburg: THADDEUS STEVENS, Chairman. P. C. SEM:WICK, Secretary. At the Session of the Court the resolutions were presented to his honor the Chief Justice, and were by the Court ordered to be inserted on the record of the Court. His Honcr, , Chiel Justice Black - , upon receivin, them made the following remarks : We consent of course without hesitation to have the resolutions entered of record. Judge Coulter was a man of comely virtues, a ripe scholar, a learn ed lawyer, and a most upright Judge. In saying this I speak thesentiments of all my brethren. For myself I could scarcely be said to have a personal acquaintance with him until we came together in this court, less than six months ago. But his reputa tion was a wide one; and I was not ignorant that he had many years before, been a leading member of the Legislature, and one of the most eloquent deba ter the State ever sent to Congress—that he was among the ablest men of his proleision in the region where he lived,and a judge.in whom the Bar and the people felt universal and unlimited confidence. I was prepared, therefore, to regard him with the veneration due to age, virtue and talents. But the feeling grew upon me, as I am sure it did on all the members of - the Court, with every day of personal intercourse. Let the resolutions be entered.—Har risburg Telcgraph. FATAL AFFRAY IN INDIANA.COTingIO/L Ind., lllay S.—Yesterday morning at D o'clock, an alter cation took place between Hon. E. A. Hannegan and his brOther.in-law, John R. Duncan, when the former struck the latter with a bowie knife, in the upper region of the abdomen, and entirely severed the duodenum. The parts were - as soon as possible re united and sewed together by surgeons, but the wound proved fatal. The sufferer sank from in ward loss of blood untill to day about one o'clock, when he expired. He was a brother of the late Hon: Daniel DuneFn, of Ohio, and was about 45 of years age. The exciting cause of this unhappy affair was liquor, of which both had been partaking.freely. The immediate occasion was some dissatisfaction as to a .trade in property. The parties had been warm friends—Duncan a sojourner with Hannegan for two years; and it is due to them both, to say that during that length of time their deportment had been such as became their position ii, society. Hannegan, possessed of passionsas noble when him self, as irascible when not himself, is suffering the keenest remofse. Duncan was a bacLelor. His estate falls, by a will made in his last hours, to Mr. Hannegan's excellent lady, and Mrs. Wallace, a widow sister. Though a gloom hangs over our spirits in con sequence of this calanaity, inanimate nature is re joicing in bridal array. The red-bud, buck eye and wild plum, give our exuberant rallies almost the appearance of a Paradise. The navigation has .commenced on the Wabash and Erie Canal, and commercial action is quite brisk.—ConNeicark Ado. CRIME IN WILMINGTON, DEL.,-A singular plot was recently discovered in that place, which, had it been carried into execution, would have horrified the inhabitants of that peacelul city, and brought mourning into an innocent and helpless family.— That vigilant Providence which so often thwarts the sinister and mischievous designs of evil men, watched and arrested the infamous conspiracy.— Two dissipated sons of a Mr. Fox, an upholsterer in Market street. entered into a conspiracy to mur der their father, and then setting fire to his dwelling, to endeavor to cover up the crime by effacing all traces of the meditated violence. One of these brothers is considerably older than the other, and a married man. A third and younger brother is said to have obtained some knowledge of their designs, and thus to have prevented the catastrophe. They were promptly bound over to take their trial at the Supreme Court now in session, at New Castle, Chief Justice Booth preSiding. Scarcely had they been lodged in jail before they were summoned into the Court to make their own defence. They did not deny the charge, but pleaded that there'had been such an utter lack of parental discipline at home, such confusion and evil examples in the house, that little better could be expected of per sons trained up. They were fined a certain sum, and sentenced to imprisonment until it is paid; which will keep them in jail till they are pardoned out by the Executive authority. THE Recur FsF.Lisp.—The Newark Eagle, in speaking of the nomination by the National Con vention, remarks— It is rarely, indeed, that sl'e observe any one claiming to be a democrat, who seeks to advance the interests of his own particular choice by direct attack or disparagement of a rival canditate; and all such attempts when made are met with prompt and distinct condemnation which shows the sound ness of the party, and the determination of the great mass of its members to act together, unitedly and zealously, in the coming campaign. The man who seeks to introduce dissention in the camp, will be regarded With suspicion, and of course will be power less for injury. E7-The Washington letter of the Charleston Cour ier says that the success of the Dry Dock It Phila delphia is a matter of much congratulation. It cost but $806,000, and is vastly superior to the stone dock at Charleston or Brooklyn, which cost twice that sum. It will take several frigates of the first class at a time, and is pronounced to he the great est docking establishment in the world. This float ing dock is entirely an American invention. A. bill is pending to complete a similar dock in California. Re-Examination of Witnesses in the Recent Slave Case. On Thursday last James M.Buchanan and Otho Scott, Esqs., (Commissioners appointed by Gover ner Lowe, of Md., to inquire into the facts connect ed with the killing of the fugitive slave William Smith,) accompanied by their attorney, A. Herr Smith, Esq., of Lancaster, met at the office of J. W. Fisher to re-examine the witnesses in the case. John L. Thompson, Esq., the District Attorney for this county, was present. In the morning most of the witnesses whose testimqny we have already published ware cross-examined, but as no new facts were elicited, we deem it unnecessary to publish what has already been read. In: the afternoon several persons were examined. We annex the testimony of Deputy Marshal Lyne, and the cross-examina tion of Deputy. Snyder : Henry Lyne, sworn.-1 am a Deputy Mrshal and went with Messrs. Snyder and Ridgely to make the arrest of the fugitive Geo. Stansbury. Premained behind about one hundred yards, when they went to make the arrest. I did not see the attempt to. make the arrest. I did not hear the pistol fired.— Ridgely and Snyder returned to me . When they - were about twenty yards from me Ridgely threw up his bands and said, "My God, I have shot him." This was immediately after it occurred. He said while in-the struggle he went to draw out his "Bil ly," (meaning his mace,) and in mistake got the pistol. He said he went to strike him with it, and it went off. He then showed me his finger—it was chewed up outrageously. I asked him how that happened. He said, "the d—d nigger had it in his mouth." We went together into the road, and Ridgely said, "I will go and give myself up." Solomon Snyder X.—At the time Ridgely and I approached Stansbury, Ridgely had nothing in his hand. I was about S or 10 feet from Ridgely when ' I arrested Stansbury. The first expression I made use of was "George Stansbury', I have a U. S. War rant for you." He replied "let me go, let me go;' and made a jump and got 4'or 5 feet from me.— At the moment that Ridgely seized him, Stansbury got the thick part of his hand in his mouth and bit him. After Ridgely had seized him, he broke loose from us five times. As soon as he got Ridgely by the hand Ridgely let go—he broke loose from us in spite of all we could do. Ido not think he got more than 4or 5 feet from us at any time. I did not produce any papers—he pave us no chance to do so. I did not see a colored man standing on the track of the railroad. I saw a man whom I that' was a white man, but have since heard is colored. There was a yellow man present, freckled in the face. I saw six or seven negroes, if I recollect right, standing around on the railroad track, who I think were attracted there during the struggle. I did not see.that any of the negroes interfered. I had my back to them all the time. I do not re collect that I told Ridgely to "fall him." I made an effort to;throw him, and may have told Ridgely to throw him; but do not recollect saying so. Ido not recollect saying to Ridgely "don't shoot him." Mr. Ridgely put his mace in his Pocket previously to the arrest, so that hemight use it if it should become neaessary. Alter Stansbury had been shot we returned to the centre of the town. After we had got about 100 yards we met Mr. Lyne—we were not molested on our return. Rc-e.rarained by Mr. Scott.—The negro was a very strong, active man, I have but one hand. The ar rest was made at one end of the alley, formed by piles of boards on each side. The alley is about 1.1 feet wide, and the negro. struggled the whole length of the alley, towards a hole in the fence at the other end. Ridgelys hnger was badly bitten by the negro. From a view of all the circumstan ces, and the expressions of Ridgely, I firmly believe that he shot him accidentally and unintentionally. During the last struggle and at the time Ridgely pulled out the pistol, Stansbury had Ridgelys fir ger in his Mouth. In the course of the examination C. S. Commis sioner MCALLISTER, of Harrisburg, offered various documents in evidence, such as the power of attcr- ney given by the owner of SMITH to RIYGELT; the evidence of title to and escape of SMITH; the war rant to arrest him, with the return marked thereon, ' Messrs. BCCILANAN and SCOTT will lay the result of their investigation before Governor E. L. Lowe, and probably before Gov. BIGLER. What will af terwards be done in the matter is more than we can predict.—Columbia Spy. Parisian Fetes A Paris letter of the Ist inst., thus speaks of the grand fetes which were to 'come off in thageapital on the 10th and 11th of the present month: The 10th is to be devoted to the distribution of the eagles to the army on the Champ de Mars, and to `ii gigantic display of fire works. On the 11th there is to be a ball upon a colossal scale in the court of honor of the Ecole Militaire. The ball rooms will be formed by a tent erected in the court, covering the space of 9,000 square yards; 10,000 invitations will be given out; one hundred officers of the army are to perform the duty of marshals, and attend to the interior ceremony of the ball and refreshment saloons. The, principal tent will be lighted by twenty thousand candles; seats will be provided for two thousand ladies; groves, parterres of flowers, &c., will be constructed in profusion along the corridors and galleries, and a boquet of the finest and freshest flowers will be given to each lady on entering. The quadrilles will have none • but head couples, there being no sides, and conse quently all upon the floor will be in motion at once. The grand orchestra, consisting of three hundred musicians; will be conductid by Strauss. The sup per room will seat six hundred ladies at once; and as they entgr the ball-room they will each receive a ticket bearing the number of the series to which they belong, and the hour at which they may ex pect refreshment. A limited time will be allowed to each series, so that all may be served at a rea sonable hour. There will be other tables for gen tlemen, who will be admitted by series of five hun dred at a time. The service will be performed by 11,500 waiters. The preparations for this fete are supervised, by General Magnan, commander of, the army of Paris. The expenses are to be defrayed by a subscription taken among the officers of the army in the following proportions: Sub-lieutenants and lieutenants give three days' pay; captains, four; ma jors, six; lieutenant colonels, seven; colonels, eight; brigadier'generals, ten, generals of division, twelve; and the general in chief of the army of Paris, fif teen. A collection upon this ratio may perhaps de -1 tray one.fifth of the expenses, and will probably pay for the lights. The President himself will give fdty to sixty thousand francs; and the marshals of Prance, who are not included in the above list, will doubtless come handsomely up to the mark. There ' will of course be a ponderous deficit, and this the State will pay. At any rate, the two days of May promise to be the most gorgeous festivals that we of this generation shall have seen; and no examples of the like magnificence can be found till you get back to the times of the Emperor. THREE CHILDREN BLOWN UP BY GUNPOWDF.R.- On Friday, the 7th inst., Mr. Seagrist, of U. Salford twp., Montgomery county, pnrchased four pounds of powder, took it home, and left it within the reach of his children, four in number. The ac count in the Watchman, says: "During the absence of himself and wife, the children got possession of the powder, and while playing with it near the stove, it ignited, killing a boy, aged about nine years, almost instantly, and injuring two others, aged about 4 and G years, so badly, that they died shortly after; a small child lying in the cradle was also burnt so severely that it is nut expected to recover. A neighbor, named Server, who was engaged in chopping wood close by, hearing the explosion and seeing the smoke, ran to the spot, when he perceived two of the boys with their clothes entirely burnt oil, with the exception of their suspenders and a small piece of the clo thing around their waists—one of which was run ning towards the barn and the other lying in a mud hole. Upon entering the house, he found the other boy lying dead upon the floor, and a little child ly ing in the cradle,. crying—the clothes of which were on Tire. The little thing was burned very se verely, but at last accounts was still living, though its sufferings were intense, and but little prospect for its recovery. ',The two boys survived their brother but a short time." A whole family of interesting children is thus de stroyed, and a tond father and affectionate mpther left to mourn the untimely end of their little ones. This is a terrible calamity, and together with the death of a child of Mr. Isaac Trumbauer, of Lim erick; by scalding itself with the boiling contents of a tea kettle, and the injury to a little son of Abram Hallman, of the same tonnship, by the kick of a horse, all serve to show the necessity for great care.

Our New York Correspondence. The following letter was received at too late a period for our last issue. There are, how•ever,some good things in it, which have not spoiled by the keeping," and may be interesting to our readers.— Will our correspondent hearafter mail his letters on Friday evening, instead of Saturday? NEW Yoßk, May 15, 1852 elections, for Ma. Enrront—The Whig primary delegates from each of the wards in this city, to Congr,essional district conventions which are to choose delegates to their national convention at Baltimore, were held yesterday ; 3nd the result shows considerable dissension. The eleventh and eighteenth wards elected Webster delegates, and the remainder were pretty equally divided between Fillmore and Scott—the Fillmoreans having a slight preponderance. The Custom House tnyrmi dons were out in lull force and activity; showing that Mr. Fillmore's well feigned modesty and re luctance to stand as a candidate for re-election, are not practised upon by his subordinates. They do not 'even "assume a virtue" for which, per haps, no one would give them credit, if they did. The Scottites are preparing to call a mass locat ing here shortly, to afford the people an opportunity of testifying their enthusiastic regard for " a hasty plate of soup ;" but there is no reason to believe that it will be a whit more successful than the abortive attempt to get up demonstrations for the "God-like Daniel," and that pure patriot the pres ent occupant of the Presidential_ Chair. The fact is, the masses of the. Whig Party will go into the next contest without any " heart," as the llonor able Mrs. Skewton would have said. They expect to be beaten, and I don't think they aro likely to be disappointed. All signs in the political firma ment will fail, if victory does not perch upon the. Democratic banner. The late decision by the Court of appeals of this State, that the.act passed by tha Whig Legislature, in special session, about a year ago, for the speedy enlargement of the Erie and Black River Canals, is unconstitutional, has created a great sensation in this City. The Whig politicians had staked much upon that law, bad procured at an enormous expense, written opinions in its favor, from emi nent counsel, and had passed it in defiance of the energetic remonstrance of the Democratic minority who protested against what it now appears they justly deemed a violation of the fundamental law of the State. In spite of the enlightened opplOsi tion that was made to it, the Whigs persisted, cal culating upon the immense increase of their Who., once by the distribution of the Eight Million■ of dollars appropriated to the enlargement among their agents and employers. Their greediness warped their judgment, and the consequences to them will be most disastrous. The men whom they hdped to conciliate and attach will now be en raged to find themselves betrayed. The law being pronounced unconstitutional by the highest tribu nal in the State, all the contracts made under it arc void, and many of the contractors will be seriously damaged, having made expenditures for material which will now be comparatively useless to them. However, the canals will be, undoubtedly, enlar ged, and that too, speedily, but in that proper, eco nomical, and constitutional manner that 'always characterises the expenditures of a Democratic le gislature. The Democrats aro quite as favorable to the enlargement as the Whigs, but they arc not willing to sacrifice the plain provisions of the con stitution, that no State debt shall be incurred, un less it is authorized by a Vote of the people. A friend who is now in Washington, and who has had several interviews with the dying states man, writes to me: ri Henry Clay speaks of death quite jocosely, and when told by Dr. Jackson of Philadelphia, that he would die at no distant peri od, without being conscious of it, lie smilingly ob served that he should like to foreknow the precise hour, as a matter of personal gratification. lie then took a cigar, and smoked it with a real gusto."

It would have no Clan for President who would suffer anything that could be construed into an insult from any power on earth to pass unpun ished. The Review assumes America to have the power, if she only had the will, to advance di rectly and indirectly, the cause of liberty through out the world, much more than she has done, and to ameliorate the condition of the people of this continent, by taking them all under the protecting wing of the Eagle. The Review can hardly be called a Democratic periodical, in the party accep. tation of the word. It is emphatically the organ of " Young America." The poverty of literary nice and their greenness in money matters are proverbial ; but there is a class of individuals still more unfortunate in the non-profession of the qualifications indispensable to worldly success. I refer to inventors. What a poverty-struck, whimsical, visionary, extravagant, talkative, conceited set of fellows they generally are! There is scarcely a man that has lined in large city who has not been pestered to death by one of these persons. The success . of the world depends upon his invention, he will tell you; and while he wants to borrow twenty-five cents to get his shirts and drainers home from the washerwo man, he will want to sell you an eighth interest in his patent breeches-buttoner, or cow-milker, for $lOO,OOO, and call it cheap at that; or he will in sult you by remarking coolly that, if you do not appreciate his inventions, it is because you lack discrimination--that Fulton was not apprecia ted, &c. A better day appears to be dawning•for literary men, some of whom, both in this country and in Europe, have managed to accumulate quite a pile. Croswell of the Albany Argus is reported quite rich. Horace Greely is or ought to be, arid so might Wells, and is, if I mistake not. I know, perhaps, as many as a hundred men in New York whose profession is that of letters, that are quite well off; but on the other hand, I know hundreds of poor fellows who somehow or other are always duped by publishers, and every person, in short, with whom they come in contact. I know, also, some inventors who are quite wealthy, and hundreds who do not enjoy a hearty meal of well-cooked victuals once a month. The man who makes the most mon ey by an invention is probably Wilder, the heir of the inventor of the celebrated salamander safes manufactured by Silas C. Herring. Herring,s book keeper told me yesterday, that Wilder received a check for $2,543 as his share of the profits of the business for last month, or' rather as poundage on the safes sold by Herring'who pays Wilder one cent for every pound of iron contained in the safes sold by him. Wilder averages, every year, in this way about $27,000, for which he does not turn his hand, and for which he liar not labored in any way;the patent having been bequeathed to him. What Wil der does with all his money, the Lord only knows; but Herring, who is still more wealthy, is a public. benefactor, and an unflinching and generous private friend. Over a thousand persons draw their sup port, directly and indirectly from his establishment, and he has given more young men a start in The world, and reclaimed more inebriates and set them to work, than any man in New York.

In no situation we can conceive of, are fidelity and honesty more requisite. than in that in which knowledge vital to the interests of individuals is left to the discretion of the Telegraph Agent. Looking upon the matter in this light, we sincerely regret that Mr. Denison's inclinations should have deprived us (and we think we utte • r the sentiments of the public) of his Cervices.
