We Need Money 2 There is a large amount due us for subscrip tion and advertising, which ought to be paid without further delay. Oar expenses are ne cessarily heavy, and we need money to keep us - moving along. Will not those who know themielves indebted make an effort to square up their accounts, or, at least, pay us a part of what is justly our due P The approaching Courts will afford many of our country friends an opportunity to call in person, or remit by their neighbors. Those residing in the city will not have far to travel to reach our office in Duke street. We dislike dunning, but necessity, it is said, knows ko law.— Hence, our appeal at this time. The Liquor question The recent action of the Grand Jury of this county, in ignoring the bills against the Tav ern Keepers for a violation of the Restraining or "Jug Law," shows how dangerous it is for legislators to go in advance of public opinion in attempting to reform the morals of the people. Here is a solemn enactment of the Legislature deliberately set aside by a Grand Jury, and, it cannot be doubted, that in their action they have done nothing more or less the, reflect public opinion in Lancaster coun ty. And to show that the Jury were not ac tuated by a desire to ,promote or encourage drinking or drunkenness, they found true bills in all cases, w•e believe, for a violation of.tbe Sunday Law, selling liquor to Minors, or for keeping Tippling Houses. The "Jug Law" is therefore, a dead letter, so far as Lancaster county is concerned, and it should be repealed without hesitation by the next Legislature. The people of the Com monwealth decided in 1854 against Prohibi tion—and the people of Lancaster county, through their Grand Jury, have repeated that decision in a way and manner which cannot be misunderstood. Far better to have no laws, than to save them of so odious a character as that they can he trampled under foot with impunity by the people, and even nullified by the deliberate action of a Grand Jury. IE9. Our friend Bratton, of the Carlisle "Volunteer," is slightly mistaken, in claiming all the nine appointees of the Canal Board, enumerated by him, as Lancasterians. Lan caster county only claims six of the nine, viz: Messrs. Baker, Lightner, King, Watts, Roath and Holbroook. The other three hail from other counties—Mr. Carmony from Lebanon, Mt. Mayer from Columbia, and Mr. Carson from Dauphin county. Their temporary res idence is, of course, in this county.. But so is Mr. Bentz's, and the "Volunteer" might as well set him down also to the credit of Lan caster county, notwithstanding hie temporary sojourn in our midst. Mr. Bration seems to have overlooked the fact that, there are, in addition to Mr. Bentz, two more appointees on the Columbia railroad bailing frOm Cumberland county, viz: Messrs. John Brannon and Andrew Roberts. So that our friend will see at a glance that Cumber land has not been treated so very "shabbily" after all, in this matter. ZOW'THANKSCITING DAY was very generally kept in this city, on Thursday last, according to the recommendation of the Governor of the Commonwealth. All business was suspended. the streets were filled with well-dressed people, all of whom appeared to enjoy the holiday.— divine service was held in the various church es during the forenoon, and in the afternoon there was many a social gathering around the family hearth-stone, where ties of affection and-love were cemented, and made stronger by the kindly feelings which animated the hearts of all. The custom, which owes its origin to our Pilgrim fathers, is a beautiful one, and we trust it may ever be observed, not only as a manifestation to Divine Providence for the many blessings conferred upon us, but as a means of binding more closely togeth er, friends, relatives and neighbors in the bond's of affection. sfir Col.

Era - A number of the Philadelphia tavern keepers have been arrested and bound over, by the .Mayor, to answer for violating the Sunday liquor law. The oath was made against them by several of the Mayor's police officers, who, it appears, went from one tavern to another as pimps and spies, as also for get ting a skinfull themselves—some of them.hav ing taken as many as seven or eight drinks at different houses on the same day! What moral reformers these Know-Nothings are! Ita. We cut the following from the Pitts• burgh Post, of the 24th inst., which may be regarded as indicating the result in Allegheny county on the Presidential question : Comaprzz MEETING.—A meeting of the County Democratic Committee of Correspon dence ie called. The object of the meeting is to fix the time for holding a County Conven tion to eleot delegates to the State Convention. This is the Presidential movement. Our coun ty,-we presume, will go as most of the other ommtiee of the State have for James Buchanan. ..Arista and thaJLllles lord Palmerston says that England and Erni:ice are,the two greatest, most intelligent potent and liberal nations in the world, and' that the war in the Crimea has not been a war against a single fortress, but. against the whole power of Russia—here the northern au tocrat had concentrated his national strength, and here the whole military resources of Rus sia have been defeated. The special corres pondent of the London Times, however, does not think the allies have much to boast of, after all. This correspondent writes as fol lows : " The Russians, so far from flying in dis comfort over boundless wastes, are calmly strengthening their position on the north side. The face of the country bristles with their can non and their batteries. There is no trace of any intention on their part to abandon a po sition on which they have lavished so much care and labor. They retired from the south side when it became untenable, shaken to pie ces by a bombardment which it is impractica ble for us to renew. They have now between themselves and us a deep arm of the sea, a river, and the sides of a plateau as steep as a wall. We let them go off at their leisure, and looked on, much as we would have gazed on the mimic representation of such a scene at Astiy's, while the Russian battalions filed in dless column over the narrow bridge, emerging in unbroken order out of that fright ful sea of raging fire and smoke, which was tossed up into billows of, flame by the frequent explosion of great fortresses and magazines. What time our generals woke up and knew what was going on I cannot tell, but it is cer tain they did not as a body distress them selves by any violent efforts to get a near view of the enemy's movements early in the morn ing. It was late in the day when Fort Paul blew up. The mine missed in the first in stance ; but, so cool were the enemy, so per fectly satisfied of our inaction were they, and so convinced they had awed us by their tre mendous energy in destruction, that they sent across a boat with a few men in her, about half-past four o'clock in the evening, who landed and went into the fort, and were seen by several people in the act of entering, in or der to prepare for the explosion which fol lowed immediately after they had retired.— Spies have, however, informed the authorities in the most positive manner that the Russians were prepared to retreat, and had all in read iness to cover a retrograde movement, in case the fleet succeeded in forcing a passage, and the allies evinced a determination of throwing -their whole force against the north side.— Their field guns and guns of position were all in readiness, and were strengthened by a very large corps of cavalry, which Would hold our infantry in check, and our cavalry could not, of course, get over the water in less than sev eral days, nor could it gain the heights of Mackenzie unless the infantry had previously established themselves there. Everything was foreseen and calculated, and the Russians were in hopes that they might catch us at a disadvantage amid some of their fortified po sitions in a difficult country, and retrieve their past disasters, or, at all events, make a mas terly retreat. But when they saw that all was hesitation, if not confusion, in the army of the allies, they recovered their courage, stared the situation in the face for one mo ment, and the next were busily employed in making the best of it, and they have now erect ed such batteries as to shut up the harbor to our present iavy, and to render any attempt to cross it as rash as it would be undesirable. Yesterday they finished a new line of batter ies, to-day we begin to make some in reply. Is it the ease thatsteam has impeded the action of our fleet the land transport has stopped the march of our army ° lam assured that Col. M'Murdo will not permit any such assertion to be made, for with certain small help of men the army he pl'ofessekto be ready to take the field and to carry provisions and ammunition for our ava 'Able strength of bayonets de tatched on a short expedition. As to the French, they have certified their mobility by the rapid demonstration of four divisions on Baidar. Then why did not the English move There were orders and counter orders day of ter day—requisitions on Captain This to know how many mules he had to carry ball cart ridge, orders to Captain That to turn out his battery in order to take the field at daybreak next morning, counter orders in the evening recountered and retracted at night, till it was hard to say what was to he done; and if the men who gave the commands were in half as confused state of mind as those who received them they were indeed in a pitiable plight. It is quite evident the expectations of the peo ple at home have nut been gratified to the full extent, and that we are not in undisputed pos session of Sebastopol; that the Russians are not utterly defeated; and that the campaign will have to he renewed next year by doing what might have been done several weeks ago. How nanny men will Russia have iu the Crimea by the time the country is fit for military ope rations, should she be determined to held it, and be able to maintain the war? On the north side there are few houses, but there are very large magazines. In fact there'was no step taken to insure the possession of the fruits of our labor. We did not prepare for success, and we now have to face a new campaign, and the Russians have seven or eight months to strengthen themselves, to recruit their exhaus ted army, to gather new materiel, and to dis pute our progress with fresh slaughter, which leaves us victory but half enjoyed. The British army is busily engaged road making, hut building, and drilling. As yet the vast majority of the soldiers are under canvass, and are likely to be-so for a couple of months longer. The trenches—those monu ments of patient suffering, of endurance, of courage—will soon he no more. The guns are withdrawn; indeed, they are now nearly all gone. The gabions are going fast, for the men have re .dived permission to use them for fuel. Batrisu It;soaANTE.—The English press, says the Philadelphia Sun, areas ignorant of our politics as they are of our geography.— The London News stultifies itself by saying: "The alliance between Old and New England, in. a crisis which tests the very principles that are the life-blood of both, must he stronger than the Union which the Northern and Southern States arc alike and simultaneously threatening to dissolve. Massachusetts will never aim a stab at Europe to make South Carolina Queen." Our London cotemporary should remember that we may have our little domestic squabbles, butit is always dangerous for a stranger to interfere in them. 31assachu setts would see all Europe bleeding at every pure, and its thrones tumbling into deserved decay, before she would see a foreign insult to South Carolina to pass unavenged. We may be "distinct as the billows" in our homo quar rels, but we are always "one as the sea' , when the blast of war calls upon us to stand shoul der to shoulder for the Union ! SCNDURY AND ERIE RAILROAD.--170 learn from the Sunbury American that the last span of the bridge over the Susquehanna, on the Northumberland side, was put up last week. The bridge on the Sunbury side is nearly up. Both will he sufficiently completed for the passage of locomotives before the Ist of Jan uary. The small link, ofkoad making through Sunbury, to connect ihe Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad with the Sunbury and Erie, is also rapidly progressing. The rails are now being laid on a portion of it, and the whole will be ready, we presume, by the time the bridges are completed. We may there fore expect that the oars of the Sunbury and Erie road will commence running from this place by the' st of January next—when coal will be carried direct from the mines at Sha mokin to Elmira and all intermediate places on the Sunbury and Erie, Williamsport and Elmira, and different points on the New York and Erie Railroads. AGAIN UNFORTCNATE.—We regret to learn that Mr. John Wilhelm, the engineer, who was so severely injured by the explosion of his engine a short time since, met with a mis hap the other day, whereby he again disloca ted the thigh bone which had been broken by that accident. His wife, also who had been previously partially deranged, on learning of the accident became so much worse, that it was found necessary to send her to the State Asylum, at Harrisburg. Of a truth misfor tunes come not singly or alone.—Examiner. lion,-James Suataztau. - - - We observe in several of our exchanges the name of the lion. James Buchanan, of Penn sylvania, mentioned as prominently before the, minds of the people as the probable nominee for the presidential chair at the approaching canvass. It is duato that distinguished states man of the Jefferson school of pblities, to refer to such facts in his past history is may entitle him to the consideration of the State rights Democracy. We have one before our . minds which presents a bright page in his biography, and we must take the liberty to refer to it.— In his celebrated speech on the veto power, delivered in February, 1842, Mr. Buchanan thus expressed himself : "Let me suppose a case of a much more dangerous character. In the Southern States, which compose a weaker portion of the Union, aopecips of prop arty exists which attracts the attention of the whole civilized world. These States would never have become parties in the Union had I not the rights of this property been secured by the federal constitution. Foreign and domestic fanatics—some from the hplief that they are doing God's service, and °There from a desire to .divide and destroy this glorious republic —have conspired to emancipate the Southern slaves. On this question the people of the South, beyond the limits of th eir own States, , stand alone and unsupportedby anypower, on I earth, save that of the northern Democracy." I What was clearly apparent to the mind of . Mr. Buchanan at the time of the enunciation of the above proposition, in the United States Senate, has been hourly becom ing more and more pitiable to the univer sal mind of the people, untill its truth is at ! last painfully placed beyond the reach of eon ; troversy. It is indeed true—and the troth should be proclaimed, trumpet-tongued, throughout the land, until it falls on the ears of the people in a tone of reality—that the National Dem ocracy is the sole ally with which the South can unite in a bondof amity on the slave ques tion. Either the hond must be entered into or the confederacy must be broken, and the . South depend on her own right arm for the maintenance of her institutions. We desire ! cordially to see averted this last dire alterna tive, and we put the question, how is that desire ! to be consummated, than by the mode which wehave justpointed out? What other remedy can we suggest for the boding evils that now hang suspended over our country? We an swer, none. We appeal, therefore, to the South to rally with her Northern friends un der the lead of Mr. Buchanan or whoever else maybe the selected candidate—and as at pres ent advices we see no one more meritorious —and bear triumphantly the banner of State rights against the foes of the Union and the constitution. We have contented ourselves with quoting a single passage from the many speeches of Mr. Buchanan, illustrative of his friendship to the South. We ought to add, that in this respect his whole political career has been most signally consistent; that with surpassing eloquence he has vindicated Southern rights when assailed, and stood by them with manly fortitude and unswerving fidelity. Her heart must be cold indeed, when it ceases to warm at the name of James Buchanan, of Pennsyl vania.—St. Louis ..liirror. ttfa.. A special election in Virginia, for Senator to represent in the State Legislature the district composed of the counties of Hamp shire, Hardy, and Morgan, has resulted as follows :—for James D. Armstrong, Whig,' 1461 ; for Joseph S. Duckwall, Democrat, 1229 ; Armstrong's majority 232. We give the politicaldesignations as we find them in theßichmond papers, not knowing whether the term Whig be in this case convertible forAmer lean or otherwise. Though as a national or ganization, the Whig party is now dead be yond question, it yet exists as a local or ganization in various quarters Thus 'at the recent election in New Jersey, the Whigs and Americans, in many cases run separate tick ets, and the Whigs were largely successful.— It is, however, merely as a local organization that it exists in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Now York, Massachusetts, and Maine, and as no effort has been made looking to a gener al combination to revive the party, it may be regarded as but the remnant of that earnest devotion so long cherished for it. The organ. ization has not survived the illustrious states men who founded it, but in its stead has aris en a new and more powerful successor, with a partizan system so effective as to have begun its career with a wonderful series of successes. —.Yorth AmeriCan. A DUEL PREVENTED.—It is reported that a quarrel took place on Thursday week, dur ing a ball at Pottsville, between Col. Wether ill and Adolphus Moore, which led to arrange ments being made by their seconds, Mr. Eli Bowen and Dr. Hagar, for a hostile meeting. The principals and seconds left Pottsville next morning, and doubtless intended to have the duel in the vicinity of Schuylkill Ha ven, as they were in the act of leaving the care at that place, when they were arrested by officer Christ, of Pottsville, who followed them. The whole'party returned, in his cus tody to Pottsville, where they were required to give bail to keep the peace. 'BTAR KILLED.-A bear was killed at Indian Gap, in Lebanon county, last week, by a fath er and son, and in the operation of killing, the son ran a narrow risk of getting a tighter squeeze than might have been good for his health. ft seems that the father and son were out gunning for deer, when'the son came upon the bear, being in close proximity to the customer before he was aware of his danger. On seeing the bear, he immediately raised his rifle and fired, but the shot not being a fatal one the bear made for him, and he retreated towards his father. The race was a tight one, and the father being attracted by the noise, came in sight just in time to see the bear al most upon the young man. With considera bledanger to the latter, he fired and was fortunate enough to give old bruin a fatal shot. The animal weighed 425 pounds. He would furnish a small family with winter meat. ANOTHER, MOVE OF THE MAINE-JACS!-It ap pears that Neal Dow's Maine Law is not yet stringent enough to suit the notions of the ultra fanatics who would enforce the liquor prohibition at every hazard. It is stated that a Mr. Robinson, a member of the Vermont, Leg islature has introduced a bill into that body in connection with preventing the liquor traffic, providing that the third offence of selling in toxicating drinks be punishable with death ! Wonder what next we shall have in this line, from our liberal New England brethren ? Perhaps they will try to prohibit the raising of grapes, barley, hope, and all substances from which liquors are made, by condemning those who offend to be burnt at the stake. T ILE WEBSTER ESTATE.—The executors of the estate of Daniel Webster have sent print ed circulars to persons having claims against the same, in which it is stated, that the net amount of assets in their hands'is $35,180 89, and the amount of claims is about $155,000. The executors are now making a distribution among the creditors. They divide twenty-one and three-quarters per centum, retaining in hand about one per centum to defray expen ses and charges in the suit against the city of New Orleans for a claiin of $25,000 for coun sel fees in the Gaines controversy. • Know Nothing Convention A convention of delegates . fiom the States whose American Councils bolted the National platform adopted at Philadelphia, was in ses sion at Cincinnati last week. Delegates were present from eight of the sixteen free States. A report was adopted declaring the repeal of the Missouri compromise aninfraction of plight ed faith; that the compromise should be re stored, or if that fail, then no more slave States should be admitted north of the line of 36 de grees 30 minutes. The report also protests against coalescing with any pexy that de mends the abandonment of American-princi ples. Perdorcof Gov. POlhMli hailegendid his eliiueii4 to Dr. Beale, of Philadelphia, and remitted the remainder of his sentence of imprisonment, which was four years and six months, begin ning on the 28th of November, 1854. He has served, therefore, about one year of .his term. The pardon states the reasons which induced the Governor to extend this favor. He had received communications • from about one hundred and forty dentists and twenty-three physicians, of this city and the county, stating their belief that testimony as to matters transpiring under the influence of ether is unsafe and unreliable ; from a num ber of other physicians named, that they be lieve him innocent from a large number of the bar, and citizens of various States, including the names of Governors, Attorneys General, &c., that they believe be was convicted un in sufficient testimony ; from a number of clergy men, that they believe him innocent ; from the Mayor of Philadelphia, and fifty members of the Philadelphia City Councils ; from mem ' hers of the Legislature, Judges of the Supreme Court, editors of Philadelphia newspapers, and five thousand other citizens of Pennsylva- ' nia and New York, with five of the jury on the trial, all asking for his pardon. After enumerating all these facts, the Governor says:-- And whereas, the Board of Inspectors of the said Philadelphia County Prison, (as ap pears by their communications on file in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth,) have unanimously recommended the pardon of the said Dr. Stephen T. Beale, because, in their opinion, the end contemplated by the law in the moral reform of the prisoner has been attained—because full and ample satis faction has been rendered to public sentiment by the imprisonment he has already under gone—because his health is undoubtedly breaking down under the sufferings of body and mind which lie already endured, and be cause the destitute condition of his aged pa rents and bereaved and sorrowing wife and children imperatively demand the presence and support of their son, husband and father. And Whereas, after a full and careful ex amination of the facts and evidence in the case, aided by the scientific discussions to which it has given rise, (without any inten tion to reflect upon the prosecutrix, who no doubt testified to what she believed did occur —nor to impugn the integrity. .of the learned Judge who tried the case, nor the honesty of the jury who convicted the prisoner,) I ant now satisfied that the defendant, Dr. Stephen T. Beale, is not guilty of the crime whereof he stands charged, and was convicted upon evi dence unreliable in its character and insuffi cient in amount. I do, therefore, in consideration of the premises, pard on Dr. Stephen T. Beale of the crime whereof he is convicted as afore said, and he is hereby fully pardoned accord ingly.—Ledger. Aexn•et. 01 TILL CANADA.—By the arrival of the steamship Canada, we learn that the excitement in England, in relation to tray with the United States, had abated. There is nothing now trom the seat of war, except unreliable rumors of battles near Pere kop and Simpheropol. and the o mh: of Nicolala'. Peace rumors are tunnerei]i, but unreliable. ] Strenuous efforts have been made to bring Sweden into the alliance. , Unfriendly relations are arising between England and Spain. WHEAT COMING FROM INDI.I.—The present high price of grain in Europe has given ris to a trade, the existence of which, we dare say, is little suspected by the great majority of our readers, namely, the export of wheat from India to England. We learn from suc cessive numbers of a Calcutta mercantile pub lication, that the quantity of wheat shipped from that port for Great Britain during the month ending the 7th of September, was no less than 127,884 maunds, or 22,654 quarters, at the rate of GO lbs. to the bushel ; and w understand that, at the date of the latest ac counts, shipments are• still going on with con siderable activity, and at rates which prom is a handsome profit to the exporters. This is a very striking instance of the way in which high prices attract grain from quar4 ters where nobody supposed it could be found) in any quantity ; and if the present prices in England should continue, we shall most likely hear of imports from other countries from whence they are just as little expected as they were a few months ago from Bengal.—Man, choler (Eng.) Guardian. THE WAR OF 1812—NATIONAL CONVENTION 4 —The defenders of the country in the war of 1812, who met last January in the city of Washington, are requested to assemble there again on the approaching anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans, pursuant to the resolu tion adopted at their last session, to which time and place the Convention adjourned. 4 As many of the Delegates have gone to theii last account, since the adjournment, it is rec ommended that additional Delegates be rhos en. Many important propositions will be pre r sented to the consideration of the Convention. Meetings should be held forthwith in the sev eral States, to make the necessary arrange ments. A full attendance of delegates is very desirable. J. B. SUTHERLAND, President of Convention, elected 1855. FOR TUE INTELLIGENCER Mr. Editor :—I attended the Anniversary of the Young Men's Christian Association of this City, hel in the First Methodist Episcopal Church, on the eve ning of the 15th inst., and was highly gratified a the undoubted evidence of interest manifested id the proceedings by the large crowd of people of both sexes in attendance. This is as it should be, and ar goes well for the success of the enterprise in thiii community. The reading room established by the association is a commendable feature in its working and it is to be hoped the young men and boys of this city will avail themselves of its advantages, by spend ing their evenings there in the acquirement of use l r ful knowledge, instead of congregating about the street corners to the great annoyance of quiet and respectable citizens. I was doubly gratified at the remarks of one of the speakers, in reference to this point ; btit have since learned that there is an establishment located in this city, with which that gentleman is connected where the Apprentices—some 18 or 20 in number- 7 are required to work until near 10 o'clock each evet ning, under penalty of dismissal. If this be so, then these young men or boys are necessarily excluded from the enjoyment of the privileges appertaining to the reading room in question; and have no possible opportunity of improving their minds or their morf ale, except upon Sundays,, when, perhaps, the err boasting labors of the week—each day from 7 in the morning until 10 at night—totally unfit them for mental or religions improvement. The precepts of the speaker are, therefore, not carried out in practic4 so far as his influence extends, and it might be well enough at the next Anniversary meeting of the As sedation, for that gentleman to state the fact that there is a class of young men virtually excluded from the privileges of the reading room, by the task masters who are set over them.

To the Honorable, the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions, in and for the county of Lancaster, the Grand Inquest for the body of the county of Lancaster, of November Term, D., 1855, Respectfully Report': That we have passed on all the bills pre sented to us by the District Attorney ; we are pleased to state that although there were a large number, many of them were of minor importance and it is to be regretted that such cases cannot be settled by the magistrates if they have the power of settling such cases. We have visited the Alms House and Hos pital under the charge of Mr. Taylor, and are pleased to find every part of the institution in perfect order, and the unfortunate inmates as well provided for as the circumstances of the case will permit. We have also visited the County Prison, under the charge of H. C. Locher, and find every thing in proper order. We have examined the carpeting and other productions of the prison, and find that they will compare favorably with like productions from any establishment in the State. We have also examined the American Engine and find it all in perfect order, and we do recom mend that the county pay the American En gine and Hose Company the balance due on re-building their Engine, three hundred and sixty-two dollars, in accordance with the agreement between the county and said com pany, as shown by their books and approved by a former Grand Jury. In conclusion we return our thanks to the Hon. Court, for the courtesy extended towards us in the discharge of our labors ; to D. W. Patterson, Esq., District Attorney, for the in formation we received of him, and for the able manner in which he discharged the duties of his office ; to George Martin, High Sheriff of the county, for his attention towarp us, and to the officers of the Court genereffy concern ed in the administration of justice, for their promptness, courtesy and fidelity in the dis charge of their duties.

LEVI LAUSCH JOSEPH NISSLY, JOHN Es rILE3tAx, THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.—The Washing. ton correspondent of the New York Times speculates as follows concerning the Presi dent's message: "The President's message will show that 'Lord Clarendon has never attempted to an swer Mr. Buchanan's last argument on the Central American question, but when, iu Sep tember, he pressed him to answer, Lord Clar endon declared the correspondence closed, de clined to re-open it, and indicated the deter mination of Great Britain to construe the treaty as not applying to the Ruatan colony. There is little doubt that Great Britain would yield the Mosquito Protectorate if he would admit her claim in Bunten." Tue licssrAs; PRIVATEERS.—The Washing ton Union says that it is authorized by the State Department to say, that Mr. Buchanan had had two conferences with the Earl of Clarendon, in relation to the West India Squadron. The Earl declared that the squad ron had been despatched for no purpose un friendly to the United States. Its object was to protect the commerce of Great Britain against Russian Privateers, three or four of which were fitting out at New York, one being nearly ready to go to sea. This particular vessel was a large fast clipper, specially in tended to intercept British ships conveying gold to Europe from Australia, with the pur pose first to capture one of the Canard steam ers. In justification of this statement, the Earl of Clarendon referred to the case of the barque Maury, as represented in the affidavits communicated by Mr. Barclay to the British government, and at the same time laid before our government.

A. Nevin, at Sprecher's Ilall, on Friday eve ning last, was truly a literary feast lung to be remembered. In it the serious and sober, the racy and sparkling, philosophy, history, biog, raphy-, anecdote and wit were so happily and interestingly blended as to attract the most intense and critical attention from all present, and excite repeated expressions of applause. The lecture was peculiarly adapted to the the young men, every one of whom, in thiscity, would have spent a profitable evening, had they been present. They would have heard what would have aroused their ambition, en larged their understanding, and awakened new and higher aspirations. We were glad to find so large an audience, in attendance.— It showed that our citizens appreciate the pleasure and advantages that are derived from public lecturers, exhibiting the learning and talents of the ablest men in the country; and tee have no fears that the interest manifested thus far will flag. 'On the contrary, we may confidently calculate upon an increase of hear ers at each lecture of the course. Thus far the lectures have given the highest satisfac tion, and done much good. The nextpne will be delivered by Profes sor McClintock, of Carlisle, one of the most distinguished lecturers of the day.—lnland TRIBUTE or RESPECT.—At &Meeting of the Philharmonic Society, held at their Hall, on Saturday evening 17th inst., a committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the Society, relative to the death of a fellow member, John G. Fetter, Esq., when the following were presented and adopt ed: Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst, our late worthy Presi dent, John G. Fetter, Esq., therefbre, be it Res()Wed—That in the death of John G. Fetter, Esq., this Society has met with an ir reparable loss—the loss of one who devoted faithfully, earnestly and with liberality, his valuable efforts towards the prosperity and in terest of the society. Resolved—That as President of the Society, John G. Fetter, Esq., was eminently qualified for the duties of the station, and through his aid and noble energies, it has maintained an honorable position as a Musical society throughout the State. Resolved—That we will ever cherish his name, in grateful and honorable remembrance; that Ave will strive to inherit his principles as a Christian, his charity as a citizen, his tal ents as a musician, and his advice as a leader —knowing in all these his name and example is entitled to our most sincere respect and gratitude. Resolved—That we sympathise with the dis tressed family of the deceased, and at the same time would call upbn them to remember that their loss is his eternal gain, that his ser vices and energies were no longer to be per formed in this world, but were transferred to a happier place of joy and bliss, there to be devotod to the praise of his God and Maker. Resolved—That in respect to the memory of the deceased, we clothe our Hall in mourning for the space of thirty days. Resolved—That a copy of the foregoing res olutions be sent to the family of the deceased and published in the papers of the city. R. E. FRAIM, j J. F. SEVER, Comm: TILE. H. M. SHREINER, ger At a nibeting of the hoard of directors of the Lancaster Bank, held Nov. 16th, 1835, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved : That by the death of J. G. Fetter, late Cashier of the Lancaster Bank, the com munity has lost a valuable citizen, and the In stitution an officer devoted to its interest, rind distingui had alike fir his urLanity of manner and high moral worth. Resolved: That we condole with the widow and family in their afflicting bereavement, though they have in the Christian life and walk - of the deceased, a hope, more lasting than that which springs from human console. tion. • Resolved : That H. Freeland, Maris Hoopes, and A. Herr Smith be appointed a committee to make known to the widow and family, the sentiments of the Board of Directors. At a meeting of Fulton Lodge, No. 454 I. 0. 0. F. held at their Lodge Room, on Mon day evening, Nov. 19, 1855, a committee ap pointed for the purpose presented the follow ing resolutions which IN x ere unanimously adopted Resolved, That in the decease id .mir belov ed brother, John Feuer, Fulton Lodge has sustained a serious M.—, and this community of which he was an exemplary and highly e.. teemed member will long have cause to rvgret his removal from its midst. Resolved, That whether we regard our de ceased brother as a husband, father or friend, his well spent christian life is a model for our imitation, and, as such, his many virtues will long be cherished in our memories. Resolved, That we deeply sympathise with the widow and children of our deceased broth er in their bereavement—and pray that " He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" may be their comfort and stay in this their hour of deep distress. Their loss, we believe, is his infinite gain, as he is now, we doubt not, safely housed with that Saviour in whom he trusted, and whose bright example be en deavored to imitate. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the family of our deceased brother, by the Secretary, and also that the Lodge adopt the usual emblems of mourning for the space of thirty days.

It is alttlOttnned here, an believed by some per sons, that the +Beall= ,the forthcoming !dea sago of Pr esides PIERCE Iriii not be circulated be fore the same is resented tb Congress. We are pleas ed if this . ' 'on has beien adopted by the grai -1 dent, and,': we ho e that t e regulation now said to be determined n n, will n tbe departed from in the future. It is al said, th t the organization of the House in the el tion of il l s officers, is not expected to take place forborne dayt, and this expectation in fact may has realized; consequently, the Message is better in the hartds of a,. President until Congress is organized, then in bei.sg in transitts with the I mails of the U. Btates to d scant points of the Union Besides, there Isla manilas propriety In the Message being first placed before C tigress assembled, in-pref erence to the coxLtentsbeinghawked all over the Union before the memlns have had the same laid before themselves in t heir respeotive Houses. So soon as delivered in Congress, it can then be sped to the remote corners o the major' in time for all readers to peruse in a very short period of time. Quite a numbsr of gentlemen are being named for Speaker, es therp is also 11 large number spoken of for Clerk. Somefew have men named for Sergeant at-Arms, a very importeint and responsible office, which has been filled of late years to the satisfaction 1 I of the Members and to the credit of the occupant. I n Col. J. Glossbre ner, with narked ability and atten• tion. WO should think rom the partiality of the old members, arid the ea and. attention to the do • ties of his office, that Co . Gloszbrenner will meet with pretty suc k r success s tn being re-eleeted to. his present position in the Hodse. At least, we shall ex pect so, if his tvotion td his heavy duties of high responsibility, , all win tor him that re-election to which his merits-so justly 'entitle him in the opinion of his friends and the public generally. Gen. Cullum is moving 4bout in this city, beingen gaged pretty busy for the clerkship, and seems to ar rogateto himselti of being the magnus apolloaral the favorite of the dark lantern party in tho House. He will have someletormy effinpetitors, and, if he gets his deserts will lie treated in the coming election-be fore the House in the same say that he received in the late contest in Tennesoe. That is all the harm we wish.him ; l ut, at the same time we believe he will make a good run for the office he seeks. As to the SpeakershiP,, there is More diversity of sentiment than we ever have remiimbered in the choice of that office. ThO contest May be long and doubtful, and the result qhite different from the supposition of manyealeulators. Beliovirtg, that,the Democratiopar typossesses theeiements thatwill go further inthe pre servationhf the'rincipleslof fraternal love between the States of is Uaion:than any others in the House, we think, that there will be enough of the patriotic opposition united with them in the organi• ration of; the "louse, that, will ensure the success of their friends in4he coming struggle for the suprema cy. This we believe, and this wo hope for in real good earnest, Based on a data that we shall not feel willing to change, until the trial is come and past. By the change. iu the now postage law, all letters deposited in-the diffeient Post Offices of the U. States, on, and after the let dayhf January 1356, will have to be prepaid bi stamps. No postage to be received at the different :'ost otficeit for totters from the above date. Consequently, all persons will have to provide themselves with stamps before that date, so as to meet the reqtdrements of the law that takes ef- eot on the let;Onnuary, 1.1356. We diesent entirely from this pro4sion of coersion, on the people, to procure from the Department postage stamps, and, we hope 'that this provision of the new law will be repealedi and, ihat persons, as now, bo permitted to • pay the ' postage on the' deposit of their letter, or place a stamp Upon the letter as they may select.— • Clerks are coMpelled to be on duty in Post offices, and we cannot! see that receiving postage can add much to their d}ities, particularly on the law ae it now stands will add. to the revenueof the departznent,but, asamonded, will deduct from the revenue,bydeterring many persons from writing letters who live remote. from post omesu and have , no facilities for obtaining Poet Office Stsunps. 1 300 from t4e. Philadelphia papers, that Senator Crittenden, of Kentucky, made a speech to the know• nothings of thht city on ;Monday last, and, that he was intrOduced!to the va9t assembly of three or four hundred, persons, by the 4nighr of the back window in the buckslult war, dome years ago, at the city of Harrisburg, 4.1 the present temperanecMayoraf the city of brotherl7 love. Mr. Crittenden was highly honored and exalted by this manifestation of these knights of forLer days, in his favor,—and, Mr. C made a speech !,11' Phoebus !—that would have made your hair stand on end, if it was not too much twist, ed in its'oompuFition ; the speech was, so pointed, so sublime, that even thekreisrmothings assemblywas at a loss whether cheer on the distinguished Senator or not. As the friend, of Clay, Mr. Crittenden was introduced, and, if there ever was a greater ese• nice to frieadihip 1t was in coupling the name of Mr. Clay witt;Othat of Air. Crittenden. Since 1848 Mr. Clay entiiely repudiated. all friendships and as sociation with Mr. Crittenden, and, the public may well be surprised at the coupling the name of the latter as beinglthe "friend of Clay." It fell like a damper upon the people of theemeeting, for, it was in Philadelphia, that Mr. Clay was ostracised, yet, beheaded, an6lia friend" Crittenden done ranch of "that deed.' !But times' and seasons change, and now in 1855, oboe more before a Philadelphia audi ence, this same gentleman is changed into a friend to Mr. Clay. 3lr. Crittenden isa candidate for the Presidency, and he seekathe favor of the know-noth• ings for that high and commanding position of honor In our country le history,',•but, ho will fail idshie ef fort, for the kuow-nothing managers have already fixed upon their limn, and, sir. Crittenden will learn of him with +ars in his eyes" when it will be too late to Temedy the selection that has been made against . him. From the turn things have taken in England, it is well ascortalned that alt this bluiter of the Lon don Times and Lord Palmerston, to kick up a dust Aith the gaveYhment of the United States, has azose from a false scent, and on inforniation furnished by the British Consul, at New York city, Mr. Barclay. Mr. Barclay and Mr. CrEimpton bad, by agents, both been engaged in enlisting soldiers, within the United States, in operi violation i t f the neutrality laws of the country, and it while a er - their conduct had been exposed, and two or th ee of their agents arrest'ed, Mr. Barclay, t create a also issue, started the story to England, to: satiate th pride of Lord Palmerston, that the Bark Mary w s being fitted out In New York nether, ss alt n privateer, with tho con nivance of ouq people, hich 'information was for eign from the truth an the fact, and which has been fully subfitantiated to be so, and that Mr. Bar- clay had no alithority, for the information he had forwarded to his govermilent. But Mr. B. and Mr. Crampton hid been caught in ugly work, in the abuse of their! privilege , Las British subjects in this country, and Mr. B. th ught, that, by the plan of raising, a falsii issue, viith reference to the Bark Mary, ho might arouse ri warlike spirit in England, and, by this nteans, divert the government from the pending issue 'of the violation of the neutrality laws of the UnitediStates, which he and Mr. Crampton had committed, and, for which, the government of the United Stiltes had cubed upon the British Min istry for an itxplanatimi or an apology, we don't know which. But, at sny rate, for censure upon 1 the British aglnts in th United States for enlisted men for their armies, to fight against a neutral power, that held ever ben the best friendly power this government had in all Europe. We arc fully aware that Mr. Barclay denies his personal agency in enlisting men in the United States. Therelis no citiien of the United States that is so "green" as to beli4l that Mr. B. would engage personally in any such busine4a. His cumplfolty is none the less for that. And hii agency in communi eating false inipressionCl of thei object of the sailing of the Bark Aiary from New York, prove pretty con clusively, thei l i, his sensitiveness in the enlistment question is worth about 'as much as the deceptive in formation he fommuni4ted to Lord Palmerston.— And the war fircere, that his information started in England, by the last arrival of the steamer Canada, has pretty well died out' and left Lord Palmerston, the Times, anli Mr. Bar lay, their informant, a poor reputation foil veracity; in reference to the Ituasian privateer bein l g fitted (lilt from the harbor of New York, to prey upon the! commerce of Old England and France. I Tho Bark Mary question being now disposed of, and no war ecitement likely to continuo to divert the attention of Lord Palmerston, we shall expect the enlistment neutrality giestion to be pressed home upon the English Ministry, until full atonement is made for the fla g rant vkilation by the agents of Mr. 4,1 Crampton and his Irian Barclay, and, farther that, Mr. C. shall case to be the accredited British Min ister at this GOvernmen for the British Empire.— This, we think ' is due fo the violated laws of our land. 1 . , .
