JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT : WILLIAM A. POET EFL Phlladelphlit. CANAL COMMISSIONER: WESTLEY FROST, Fayette. A WORD TO DELINQUENTS. There are hundreds of persona Indebted to us for sub scription, advertising, or jab work—varying in sums of from one dollar up to twenty dollars—which ought to be paid, and must be paid without much longer delay. We have commenced milting out bills for town and country—near and remote—and shall expect settlements to be.made, either by cash or due bills, between this and the Ist of July next—so that then, at the commencement of the tenth year since the INTELLIGENCES passed into our hands, we may be enabled to open new books. After that period those who refuse to liquidate their indebtedness in one of the ways specified, will be stricken from our hot of "patrons," and their accounts placed in the hands of proper officers for collection. We have become tired of" working for other people and ending ourselves," and we give this timely warning so that all may be prepared. We cannot live and keep the Web. llehment in operation on more '•promises to pay," and as we have no notion of starving when every thing is in abund ante all around us, we have concluded to adopt the course above intimated. To such of our patrons as have been prompt in their pay- Mentz, we return our sincere thanks; and we shall also feel grateful to those who may repent of their past delin quency, and either call at the office and settle their bills, or remit by mail the amount of their indebtedness. But we wish it to be distinctly understood, and therefore we re peat it, that we take the stop because our necessities require it, and shall expect all accounts of more than one year's standing, to be settled between this and the first of July. If not, they will be settled in another way. THE THIRTY-SECOND STATE The hill for the admission of Minnesota, having passed both branches of Congress and been signed by the President, the Senators elect from the new State, Gen. SHIELDS and Mr. RICE, were admitted to seats in that body, on Wednesday last. The admission of the new State was voted for in both houses we believe, by every Demo crat present, North and South ; but strange to say, it was violently opposed by two or three of the Black Republican leaders in the Senate —and by Giddings, Sherman, and several of the leaders of the same party iu the House Yes, these boasted champions of freedom— these men who are constantly prating aliiut the "encroachments of the slave power," and trying to alarm the people with the danger that the slave States will outnumber the free, and thus gain a preponderance in Congress— these men made factious, ranting speeches against the admission of this Free Slate! The true secret of all their opposition is the political character of Messrs. SHIELDS and RICE, both of whom are true hearted, reliable Democrats. Had they been on the other side of the question, there would nut have been a whimper against their admission to seats in the Senate. But the pretext for this persistent opposition to the admission of-Minnesota is, that her Constitution allows unnaturalized foreigners to vote. Speaking on this question, the New Hampshire Patriot very truthfully and: pointedly remarks:—" And this objec tion is urged by the very men who v:•te-1 for the enabling act which allowed umialuralizeil foreigners to vote for members of the Conven tion to form her Constitution ! This fact alone proves that this objection is but a shallow and dishonest pretext. But the objection is utterly untenable; it is a question with which Con gress has no right to interfere; it is a matter witbin the exclusive control of the people of every State. Many of the States allow unman ralized foreigners to vote fir State officers ; and if this is a valid objection to the admis sion of Minnesota, it is also a valid objection to allowing those States to remain in the Union ! It is a mere pretext, a flimsy subter- fuge, to cover up the real motive fir this scandalous course of the black republicans in opposing the admission of a free State. These men are seeking to make political capital at the expense of the rights of the people of these two great States, [Minnesota and Oregon,] and according to their own theory, at the expense of the great cause of human freedom. They do not want any more free States admitted into the Union, because the admission of these States would remove their great bugbear of the danger of the preponderance of the slave power. The admission of these two free States would show to the whole country that Mr. Seward was right when he recently declared that the battle is over on this question, as it would give eighteen free States to fifteen slave States ; and it would thus take from the agitators one of their great hobbies—one of the bugbears with which they have so long excited the fears of shallow-pated people here in the North." JUDICIAL VAGARIES.—Judge Galbraith, of the Erie district, so interprets the new Liquor Law as to authorize tavern keepers to procure license without publication or certificate, and he has granted licenses aecordingly. The Judge of the Northampton district construes the law as requiring him to grant tavern licenses only where he deems them necessary. These are two constructions the antipodes of each other, and both equally absurd. The other Judges throughout the State appear to coincide in giving a common sense construc tion to the law, which the Erie and Northamp ton Judges seem unable to do. TRANSFER OF TILE STATE CANALS.—Under the provisions of the Act for the sale of the State Canals," recently passed, the Canals of the Commonwealth will be surrendered into the possession of the Sunbury and Erie Rail road Company, to day. The Philadelphia Ledger of Thursday last says, that the North Branch Canal has already been disposed of to a Company residing on the line—the price to be paid is $1,500,000. This, together with the Delaware Division, which they can readily sell for $2,000,000 more, will amount to the sum which they promise to pay the State, (but which the State Treasury will never sec,) leaving the other portion of the Canals, which are worth probably a million more, on hand for future speculations. Thus has the Commonwealth, by the = suicidal policy of the last two Legislatures, been literally cheated out of all her magnifi cent improvements, and we have yet to see how the tax payersare to be benefited by the swindling operation. S 69— President Buchanac tendered to the Turkish Admiral, Mohammed Pasha,a passage home in the U. S. Frigate Wabash, the flag. ship of the Mediterranean squadron, which shortly sails for that quarter. The Admiral has declined the offer, as he does not wish to leave the United States yet a while. DIVIDEND.—The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have declared a semi annual divi dend of three per cent, out of the profits, clear of State tax. Pretty good for these hard times. • A MAGNIFICENT PROJECT.—A new hotel is projected in Washington city by Mr. Corcoran and other wealthy citizens, to be erected on the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Lafay ette square. The land will cost 5170,000, and the houSe and furniture over $200,000 more. Mr. Stetson, of the Astor House, N. Y., it is said, will take a lease of this house when completed, The locition is nearly opposite the President's House. FINANCIAL MATTERS The New York Herald publishes some very important facts and suggestions, under the head of " The Financial Plethora." It calcu lates the amount of specie now held by the banks of New York city, at thirty millions. The present rate of foreign exchanges prom ises little alteration within the next twelve months ; hence, it is thought the shipments of specie from New York will be light, and that the next three months will add another accu mulation of fifteen millions to the hard cash already on hand. The Herald estimates the whole amount of specie in the country at $250,000,000 ; of this $65,000,000 are in the banks. If, then, as the Herald supposes, the New York banks will hold from forty five to fifty millions by the month of August next, this will create a bank ing preponderance at New York much greater than the same city has ever yet attained. This accumulation of power, it is argued, if properly wielded, will enable an association of the New York banks to render that city the great financial centre of the country, with a command over local interests equal to that of the hank of England or the hank of France, which contain respectively $90,000, 000, and $75,000,000 in specie. This would render the paper of New York banks the circulating me dium of the whole country, by the distribution of their notes by means of branch Banks estab lislled at the principal cities throughout the Union. This centralization of the money power would mark the consummation of a great revo lution—but one we must regard as disastrous. Whatever maybe the inconveniences of our local system of banking, it is certainly prefer able to the entire subsidizing of all sections under the control of an overgrown money power at New Yotk. If necessary, any such attempt will meet with the restraining power of State legislation. into great accumulation of specie in the Banks. promises another era of dangerous expansion. The reflections of the Herald on this point are worthy of remark : " One thing is certain : the accumulation of money at the great financial centres of the world must necessarily he the forerunner of a period of intense excitement and expansion.— There is no use in saying that the example of' the late break down trill deter us. It is non sense to talk of the still surviving troubles impending a speculative movement. Nii such movement was ever stopped or checked by recollections, however vividof former troubles. As a body, mankind are strikingly contempt. uous of experience. And there is another point worth considering. Whenever a neces s.try consummation is it May be taken for granted that it is upon us. When people say on solid grounds that there will he failures in October, they generally come in August. When khe public foresee speculation in August, it breaks forth in June. Practi cally, the accumulation of money in the banks is a very disastrous and and melancholy token; implying a stagnation in trade, dullness in industry, and a general falling off here in wages, there in profits, there in food. But, as the foolish man conceives himself to he richer when he has said his houses and lands for half their cost, and rejoices in the sight of the shin dig gold pieces, so the country looks wealthier as in fact it grows poorer ; and just as the fool aforesaid is more likely to be careless of his money when he sees it before hint in coin, than when it was yielding him a revenue in houses and lands, so the people of the United Stales, seeing the millions accumulate in banks, tire certain ; ttroit the sorrow which drove it there, anti to 11v int all manner of specula tion just tm keep it agoing." THE NATI••NA"I, SITE.—The hill the establishment National Foundry is not expected to be acted upon during the present session of Congress The Secretary of War, lion. J. B. Floyd, has expressed the opinion to a number of gentlemen interested, that when the bill is passed it will be so fra• rued as to require the President to appoint a joint committee composed :if officers of the army and navy, whose duty it shall be to visit the prominent locations deemed suitable for a site, and report the President of the United States, who will be privileged to select the most approved Location. Thus the twitter stands :it present.— Exchanye. VEir We hope when the joint committee of officer: , is appointed. and when they enter upon their duties. they will not forget to take a look at the City of Lane toter—a point which we !kink admirably adapted, in many respects, for the prop :sed National Foundry.—Eds. TREASURY NOTES--NEW ISSUE The Secretary of the Treasury having ad vertized fir prop , sqls fir issuing $5,000,000 in Treiv.ury Notes in exchange for g id coin of the U. S. States, opened the bids on the 10th inst. The bids amounted to over $l5, 000,000—of which $4,500,000 were under 5 per (tent. Among the successful bidders are the fol lowing :—York, Pa., Bank, $60,000 ; Farmers and Mechanics' Bank, Philadelphia, $200,000; Columbia, L'a., Ban/c, $80,000; Partners' Bank of Lancaster, Pa., $40,000; Van Vleck, Reed & Drexel, $500,000 E. W. Clark & Co., Piladel phia, $lOO,OOO Bank of North America, Philadelphia, $200,000, and the York County, Pn , Bank, $40,000. These bids ranged from 34 to per cent. The remaining sum—nearly half a million —will be selected from the 5 per cent. bide. Speaking of the bids in the aggregate, the Washington Union of Tuesday says: The great magnitude of this offering proves two facts—namely, That there is a very large amount of cash capital in the country fur in vestment; and. second, that the credit of the government is unimpaired by its recent loans. We explained the other day the great provement that had taken place in the com merce and business of the country, and how it was that the low condition of the federal exchequer resulted from this very healthiness of business. The bidding,s of yesterday prove that, whatever may lie the temporary wants of the Treasury for a time, the restored health and stability of the money affairs of the coon try will enable all demands of the treasury to be promptly responded to by the mercantile classes. A GREAT VILLAIN !-WM. S. Tuckernmn, the notorious mail robber, who has recently been tried, convicted and sentenced, in New Haven, to twenty-one years of hard labor in the Peni tentiary, is the same individual who a few years ago, when Treasurer of the Eastern Railroad Company, swindled that confiding and credulous corporation out of some $200,- 000. Of this latter crime he was convicted before the Supreme Court of Boston, and was under heavy bonds to appear for sentence when arrested for his mail operations on the Sunday night trains between New York and Boston. As his sureties in this case could not take him out of the hands of the U. S. Marshal, who held him in custody on behalf of the general government, their bonds were forfeited ; and, though he will technically escape punishment for his offence under the statutes of Massachusetts, Judge Ingersoll, of the U. S. District Court, has given him " a settler" which will answer for both old and Be. - Wine growing in California has be come a very extensive branch of agriculture, as one may infer from the fact that in Los Angelos county alone, during the last year, 400,000 gallons of wine were manufactured. The wine, as soon as made, is put into large casks and allowed to ferment, which it does within a few hours, being kept from the air until sent to market. It sells from 75 cents to $1,25 cents per gallon, at which price it is sail to pay the farmer a large profit. ser Hon A. P..i.leyNE has been appointed (by the Governor of South Carolina) a U. S. Senator, in place of Mr. Evans, deceased. MONUMENT COMMISSIONERS The Commissioners app Hinted by the act of the Legislature to receive proposals and make arrangements for the erection of a Monument in memory of the Pennsylvania volunteers wh,) fell in the Mexican War, met at Harrisburg, on Thursday husk in the Executive chamber, Capitol buildings. The following gentlemen were present: Gov. Wm. F. Packer, Ex Gov. John W. Geary, Adjutant General E C. Wil son, Gen. E. C. Wilson, Col. George Nelson Smith, Col. Isaac Waterbury, Richard Coulter, Esq., Cul. B. McDermott, Maj. John Brady, Gen. Thomas J. Power. On motion of Gov. Geary. His Excellency, Packer, was called to the Chair. On motion of Gen. Williams. Guy. Geary was chosen Secretary. Gov. Packer, upon accepting the position, stated that all he could do should be done towards the erection of an appropriate Monu ment. The object was one worthy of the State. It was proaer that a Monument should be built to commemorate the gallant services of the soldiers of Pennsylvania who fought in Mexico The Monument Pennsylvania owes to herself. He wanted to see a Monument built that would cost :25,000, and be credita ble to the Commonwealth. The Secretary also returned thanks. On motion of Geo. Power, Resolved, That this Board will receive plans and specifications for the erection of a Monu ment to the memory of the citizens of. Penn sylvania who were slain or lost their lives in the late war with Mexico, to be erected on some suitable spot on the public grounds at Harrisburg, to be selected by the Commission ers, and that a premium of two hundred dollars will be awarded for the plan which may be adopted, the cost of the Monument not to exceed thirty thousand dollars. Plans, specifications to be addressed to the Governor, at Harrisburg,' n or before the first day of July next. The following resolutions were also passed: Resolved, That sealed proposals will be re ceived at the Executive Chamber, at Harris burg, up to 12 o'clock. M., of the 4th day of August next, for the erection of a Monument for the purposes above indicated. Resolved, That the Secretary be directed to publish the necessary notices for Plans, Let tings. Resolved, That all papers throughout the Stat , friendly to the object, he respectiully requested to publish these proceedings. Resolved, That we adjourn to meet. at 10 A. M., July let, at the Executive Office, ILtrrisburg. The Commissioners then adjourned. MORE ARRESTS FOR. FRAUDS ON THE PENSION OFFICE.-R r learn, says the Washington Enitin. that the Pension Office has information from one of its special agents of the arrest of four persons in Vermoilt—J. C. Boswell, Ebenezer Bickford, 1). Waters and one Wallace—charged with obtaining bounty land warrants on false and forged papers, knowing them to be of that character. ,ettig-If the United States laws against Pen sion robbers are administered in Vermont, in the same way they are in Eastern Pennsylva nia, Bus Well and his colleagues in crime will have very little to fear—at least they will have no reason to complain of the haste of the Government officials in bringing them to trial. —Eds. hdelliyencer. • I Vl7=3 One of the acts of the last Legislature was to pass a militia bill, whieh we find put into the t,lliHin. ooloosed form by the Reading " Its provisions require every able bodied man, between the ages of eighteen and forty five years, with some specific exceptions, to he subject to military duty. He is to provide himself with the necessary equipments under the penalty of a tine of one dollar for non performance, if a resident of the rural districts, and one dollar and fifty cents if living in a city —the fund thus raised to be appropriated to the support of the " enlisted and equipped" militia men. The militia enrolment is entirely dispensed with. std all volunteer companies parading, are allowed for every person on par ade each day, riot exceeding six times during the year, one dollar and fifty cents per diem out of the fund. In addition to this, the commanding officer of a regiment may order out the c,,tupanies composing it for an encampinent parade, not exceeding six days, once during each year.— These provisions are intended as an induce ment to young men who desire to gain a knowl edge of military duty, but cannnot afford to lose the time which gratuitous parades neces sarily require. The new law will suit the citizen soldiers very well, and go far to in crease the military spirit th roughout Ihe State." DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—A very serious acci dent. accompanied with destruction of life, occurred on the N. Y. Central Railroad, about four miles from Utica, on the 10th inst. The accident was the result of two trains attempt ing to pass over a bridge at Saquoit Creek at the same time. The weight of the trains Crlish ed the bridge, and the cars were precipitated into the creek and piled upon each other.— Some eight or nine of the passengers were killed outright, as many more fatally injured, and over forty more or less seriously wounded. The engines had alroady crossed the bridge at the time it gave way—consequently neither the engineers or firemen were injured. GaAssuoitrers is TEXAS.—The Austin Gaz ette of the 24th ult. states that the grasshop pers are making fearful depredations both above and below that city, on the river. They are said to be laying waste everything before them, not sparing a stalk of corn or a blade of wheat. The Galveston News of the 27th has following in relation to the destruction caused by the grasshoppers in western 'texas:— " A gentleman who has just returned from journey through Gonzales, Caldwell, Hays, Comal, Guadalupe, Bexar. Karnes and DeWitt counties, informs us that generally throughout these counties, the grasshoppers have destroy ed the growing crop of corn, wheat, cotton and all garden vegetables, so that there is scarcely a green thing left. On the Cibola, the grass hoppers were so numerous a week ago that our informant could not put his foot to the ground without treading nn them. The plan ters are in hopes these destructive insects may leave early iu May, in which case they think they may make tolerable Tops of cotton and corn, as the prospects otherwise were never better. These insects eat everything clean as they go. Our informant says he saw wheat fields on the outside of which the wheat was cut down as clean as it could have been dune by a cradle, and every stalk eat up, while the balance of the fields had not bees touched at all. They not only eat the corn that is above the ground, but everything under ground to the roots. They are now commencing to fly, and this is looked upon as a favorable omen. These destructive little animals are also de vouring the leaves and the hark of fruit trees, such as the peach and pear ; but whether they will do them any serious injury remains to he tested." GREAT MONTI/LY SALE of LIVE STOCK, SLo AT BOURBON COUNTY (Kr.)CousT.—There were from 600 to 800 head of Mules, and several hundred head of cattle and horses offered for sale, and a number of lots were nut disposed of. Yearling sold at from $4O to $97 ; two year olds from $45 to $llO ; three-year-olds from $75 to $l2O. A lot of mules sold at $llO, that were driven from this county to the Richmond market, Sind were brought back from want of purchasers.—They cost $ll2 ; the loss on them being $l7 per head. Stock cattle, considering the quality, sold readily and at fair prices. 14 head of two year-olds went at $2B per head ; 37 at $24 ; 22 at $2O ; 32 yearling at $l9, &c. Horses also commanded fair prices, selling from $240 down.—Flag. Apar Four or five females were arrested and tried last w e ek, at Mount Vernon, Ind., for assaulting a German Methodist clergyman. They waylaid him as he was leaving the church a,,cier an evening meeting, and pelted him with stale eggs. A brother of the church, who attempted to shield the preacher, was knocked down and rough:y handled. The reason alleged in the extenuation was; that the clergyman had made some unwarran table inundos in the pulpit against the character of his assailants. THE WOMAN WHO LIVES WITHOUT EATING .- We have, says the N. Y. Post, published several letters respecting this extraordinary case of suffering; they are important to scien tific men, and painfully interesting to all. The following is written by Rev. S. P. Wil liams to the Christian Advocate : " SI, s. Hayes is not yet dead. I have seen her several times, and, after reading all that has appeared in the Advocate in regard to her, venture to communicate a few thoughts upon her ease. Before she passed into this peculiar and afflictive condition, her health was fur some length of time extremely poor. She ate but little, and that little occasioned a con siderable amount of suffering. Sometimes it threw her into spasms. Fur nearly a year before she ceased to take refreshments alto gether, she lived wholly, or nearly so, upon the juice of dried raspberries, until that, became a source of suffering. Then, fur a time, she took occasionally a small quantity of cold water ; and it is now nearly a year since she swallowed any liquid, to the knowledge of any one. Indeed I have no doubt that a teaspoonful of liquid put into her mouth would be the occasion of her death, unless the spasmodic action of her throat should expel it. Any person to see her ten minutes must be satisfied that there is no deception in her case. Her head and shoulders, one or the other, are in perpetual motion. She is frequently thrown forward, until she is nearly doubled together, and then the head thrown back, and her neck literally doubled, and the body forced back, and the whole face, chin, and all, entirely buried in the pillow. This is dune several times successively in less time than I take in writing it. The last time in the series the face will remain nearly buried in the pillow, and she does not breathe for ten or fifteen minutes. Once she remained sixty-two minutes without breathing. When this over, and the spasm passes off, she strug glee fur breath, and her head is rolled from side to side almost with the velocity of lightning for a moment or two ; the face becomes red with the rush of blood to the head, and the skin quite moist with perspira tion. The spasin subsides into a gentle [notion of the jaw and shoulder, keeping time, as one would think with the action of the heart. Her skin about the face, neck, chest, and hands is delicate and healthy as the skin of an infant. The pulsations of her blood about the chest, neck, head, and arms, though exceedingly delicate, are quite regular. Her hair does not grow, nor is it worn off her head, as one would naturally suppose, except a little just upon the crown The action of the liver is entirely suspended, of course. The action and state of the lungs are perfectly healthy. They have been thoroughly examined by skilful physicians with the aid of a stethoscope, and are supposed to be perfect Her nourish ment is avhilly from the atmosphere. The last nutriment, indeed. the last swallow of water she was known to take, was in the last of June, 1857. The last time she was known to be conscious was last December. When she comes out of these long spasms she seems to cry for a moment, like an infant in distress. At such times her husband thinks she may be conscious. It i t most distressing to hear it She is not above the ordinary laws of disease. She has recently had a thorough ease of the mumps, precisely as others have them. Her nails upon her fingers, like her hair, do not grow at all." THE Cease.—The Philadelphia Ledger dis cards the idea that the result of the recent election in that city was brought ab..ut by any other than local causes. It says: Mr. Henry comes into office with an over, whelming popularity—so did Mayor Vanx and so did Mayor Conrad ; yet neither of their administrations stood more than wine term. With the patronage at his bestowal, which is in the hand: of the May r, it will Le very difficult molter fir ,toy municipal - chief to perpetuate his newer longer. Tht , nuintp - tr appointees is limited, but the applicants are legions in numher, all clamorous and all putting forth claims to office on account of political service. For every hundred appoint ed, there are ten times that number disap pointed, and these always revenge themselves at being slighted in the disposal of office by joining the opp isitinn. Hence, hoover care fully the Mayor elect unit make his no rotnalitins, he will have this element of disappointment ever afterwards working with a will, both for revenge and f:r future success in any change which may ensue. lf, in addition to raising this element ::f ::pp :sition. the Mayor should bestow his official favors upon persons ortworthy of the appointment, aud fill the police with men of had character, the disgrace of previous administrations, he will find, in the universal condemnation of the citizens, a still more potent influence against bis administration. The public mind is conclusively settled upon this point, that a police establishment is for controlling and checking rowdyism and crime, and not created to supply them with places of profit and refuge. The department must be made and kept respectable, and among the applicants there are certainly enougil men of that character to fill every situatio , , in it. Now is a good opportunity to put the police depart men ton a good footing. The endeavor will :it least demand the respect of the citizens, and a man had better go out of office with public respect than remain in it without it. Whether any Mayor can remain in office longer titan a single term, with the patronage he has, is questionable. Instead of being an element of power in his hands, it is one of weakness. The only influence which can combat success fully the opposition likely to arise from the exercise of his power is that of the independent voters of the city—men who are not so bound in party trammels, but that they can appreci ate honest service, anti can afford to cast their votes in favor of the government which com mands their respect. SUICIDE or A POISONER.—Mrs Phoebe \Vest lake, a widow residing in Chester, Orange county, N. T., was on Thursday last arrested on suspicion of poisoning several persons in the village, and Zlestroyed herself by taking arsenic. Before the suicide, she confessed that she had administered poison at different times to a Mrs. Fielder, who died about two weeks since very suddenly. She also confessed that she had administered poison to Mr. J. B. Tuthill, a merchant, who had recovered and is doing well. Mrs. Charles Tuthill and a Mrs. Derrick :ire now very unwell, with every symptom of having been poisoned; and as Mrs. Westlake had lately sent them some preserves, which they had eaten, it is supposed that they were also intended by her as victims. An inquest was held on Saturday at Ches• ter, Orange County. N. - Y., on the body of Phoebe Westlake, female poisoner. Verdict, " Death by taking arsenic." On Sunday morning, the day previous to her death, she made a confession of administering poison to several others, and causing the death of two ladies, and the dangerous illness of several other persons. The cause she assigned for taking poison was not to kill herself', but to make herself sick, in order to divert suspicion from resting on her. lIOFFMON, THE INSANE POET —A report is going the rounds of the press, based on the assertions of a town cotemporary, that Charles Fenno Hoffman, the distinguished Poet, who is now confined within lite Asylum at this place, a confirmed lunatic, is in a fair way of recovery, and likely to be in an entirely healthy state of mind in a short time. Much as we wish this were correct, we are obliged to con tradict it. No later ago than Saturday, we saw Hoffman, at the Asylum, and were sad dened to witness him in the same condition of mind we had observed a year ago, and to be informed by one of the officers of the Hospital that there is but little prospect he will ever be a " sound" man again. It is a terrible sight to witness a man—once so talented, so prominent, and ,of such brilliant traits—the inmate of an insane Asylum, with hardly a thread of hope fur his recovery.— Wednesday's Harrisburg Herald. ROBBED.—We understand that Mr. Christo pher Mellinger, of Stoughstown, this co., while returning in the cars frOm Philadelphia on Saturday last, had his pocket book, containing some $6OO, abstracted from his coat pocket, between Elizabethtown and Harrisburg. The villain who perpetrated the robbery, did it so adroitly, that the pocket book was not missed till Mr. Mellinger arrived at Harrisburg. Mr. Mellinger had been to the city with a drove of horses, and having sold out, was returning home with the proceeds of his sales.— Carlisle American. Dar The Montgomery county (Va.) Star says that the hog cholera is on the increase, and that 600 hogs have died of it in the South western portion of that county. No remedy has, as yet, been found effectual in stopping the ravages of the disease, and it generally proves fatal in 10 or 12 hours. CITY AND COUNTY AFFAIRS UNPIN PRAYER MEETING.—The interest in the Union Prat - er Meeting still rernajna unabated. Large audiences are convened every evening at ttussers Hall, South Queen street, and a deep religious fervor seems to pervade. On Sunday afternoon the Rev. Mr. Slims, or St. Paul's M. E Church, South Queen street, preached In Fulton Hail. which was filled to its utmost by a deeply impressed audience. The sermon was an able and interesting pro. duction. The reverend gentleman has certainly many requisites essential to a fine pulpit orator. The Rove. Mr. STOCK and Dr. HODGION assisted In the exercises. The former gentleman gave a moat eloquent and thrilling exhortation. The Union Choir enlivened the exercises with some choice congregational singing. A SERMON TO APPRENTICES.—Rev. Dr. HODGSON will preach a sermon to the Apprentices of this City, in the Duke Street H. E. Church, op Sunday evening next. NATIONAL FOUNDRY AIEETINO.—A large Meeting of citizens was held on Saturday evening, at Cooper's Red Lion Hotel, West Ring street, for the purpose of securing the contemplated National Foundry in this city. On motion of the Hon. A. L. Hayes. Dr. F. A. Mulffenberg was called to preside. and Col. J. Franklin Reigart chosen Secretary. The President, upon taking the chair, stated the object of the meeting, and urged immediate action in favor of the establishment of the National Foitodry in this vicinity. Hon. A. L. Hayes then offered a series of resolutions, expressive of the sentiments of the meeting, which were unanimously adopted. The meeting was addressed by Hon. A. L Hayes, Mayor Burrow., H. B. Swart, Esq., 0. J, Dickey, Esq., and Maj. A. D. Ditamrs. On motion of Messrs. Swarr and Jackson, it was 1.113d111 morally agreed that the President appoint the aeraral com mittees (agreeably to the resolutions) at his leisure. The meeting then adjourned. THE PENNSYLVANIA MEDICAL :'.'OCIETY.—The State Medical Society will hold its annual erasion In this city, commencing on Wednesday the 26th inst., and con tinue in version throughout the week. The sittings of the Society will be held at Fulton Hall. The Medical fraternity of this city are making extensive preparations for the reception of their brethren.

ACCIDENT.—EarIy on Saturday morning as a young man. named Henry Baker, was cnming to market, his carriage was upset by a heap of stones in front of Mr. Bard's now building, iu bast Ring street. The marketing, consisting of eggs, butter, be., was wholly destroyed, and a younger brother, who was with him, touch injured by falling with his right temple upon the stonea, lie was rendered insensible, but so' - recovered sufficiently to be able to return home.-3.fogday's Times. THE MOZART'S CONCERT.—The c.ncert of the Mozart Choral Society, at Fulton Hall, on Tuesday evening last. was very largely attended. The hall would have been filled in every part, had the ••eierk of the weather" been a little let bountiful In his supply of the aqueous fluid. To speak in the highest totals of the Mo zart's performance is not necessary—their reputation for exquisite mcelieotion is sufficiently established. Hearty encore= greeted the members at different points, and sec oral tittles during the evening their choicest IlluFiral ca.ni positicus had to lie repented—no denial being received by the enraptured audience. The Mozarte will give another entertainment shortly, when a superb programme will I s , presented for the consideration of our music-loving and concert•going citizens. EX-GOVERNNoR GEARY.—Ex Governor Join W. GLARY, of Kan.., was in the city a day or two last week. and stopped with "mine host,' MICHAEL. of the Barth queen street. This Governor looked ox. ceedingiy well, was iu the best of spirits, and was waited upon. during his short stay, by quite a number of our citizens. A NEW BELL.—A new bell, ur rather the old one re,ast, was placed in the belfry of St. James' P. E. Church, Duke street, on Tuesday last, under the superin tendence of :mlr. WILLLLM DILLER. The old bell, it will be remembered. was cracked during the last winter. We do not admire the tone of the new bell—it Is not near as musical as the old. The old bell was cost in England, and had been in use near a century. “Verily, old things are passing away." ACCIDENT ON THE RXILROA D.—Quite a seri n .. accident happened on b:st on the railroad. strut half a mile below this city, to a man. nanisil John &Mits. Mr S., it appears, was returning to town with a basket of eggs. and while so the rinhanknient this side of the bridge over the Conestoga, he saw the express train going east. which was an hour behind time, coming towards him, and he stepped on the oppesito track to avoid it. but he had scarcely been there a half minute when he heard the mail train behind him, and before he had time to get out of the road the platform of the engine struck him breaking several ri Ls, the collar linos of one arm, and cutting his head severely in Secural places. The ears were emptied and the wounded man brought to the depot, from whence he was taken to his home. where Dr. John L.

Augustus Beck. of 1,111.54 , 1 . , Pa.” THE" !. LD DOCTOR"—AN EVENTFUL CAREER. —About two weeks ago, says Friday's Express, we noticed the discharge from our County Prison of Eli Bowlen, (or Bowen.) fatuiliA - ly known as ••the old Doctor," who had been convicted and served out his time for stealing a horse from Mr. Shriller. In that connection we spoke of him as a man of education and geuteol address and rummers, dis charged from Prison, without the means of making an honest living. This remark called out au interesting letter from a Marietta correspondent, why says that, if ho is not mistaken in regard to the man, there is ono resource left him which would command a considerable sum of money. Ile suggests that he write and publish a candid and faithful hi s t or y of his life, narrating truly and seriously his errors end crimes, and their punishment. In repeated forfeitures of respectability, property, happiness and freedom—his frequent struggles and sufferings from fear of detection and from remorse of cone, ien 'o. If he he the man our correspondent supposes him to be, he has continually illustrated and proved the truth of the declaration that -tile way of the transgressor is hard." We will, however, allow "A. B. G." to tell what he knows in his n language; Tilde aro several long Cliarilll3 in the history I suppose he would write, which I and unable to ; but what I have learned would furnish the folio ring as a very brief outline: More than forts years ago it preacher, belonging to no sect. named Edward Owens, appeared in Chester county. where lie shortly married a rt,pe,!table young lady. who soon aft, Ceara found that he had a wife living in Philadelphia, and that he had been an inmate of a Pen itentiary. Ile turned up again, in the vicinity of Port Deposit, a few years later. as the Rev. Mr. Yfohoson, (I be lieve,) s Presii)lerian and when on the ere of marriage to very worthy lady, was detected as the Key. Mr. Owsms, and promised to leave to escape public exposure. Shortly after. hewas the Mr. Bowen who figured as the accomplice of Mrs. Ann Carson, in her memorable attempt to abduct Governor Snyder and compel him to sign the pardon of Lieutenant Smith. Lung afterwards be resided in Mexico, Oswego co., N. Y., as the Rev. E K. Dare. a Protestant Methodist. Hiring a 'torso and buggy in Liica, N. Y., be went off with them into Northern Pennsylvania, where he was arrested at the close of his Sunday morning sermon, and, after due trial, sentenced to Auburn State Prison. tin next •ppeared iu the Western part of Maryland, where he obtained possession ref the credentials of a Rev. Mr. Smith, deceased, a German Reformed clergyman, (possibly by marrying the Widow Small.) and returned to Montgomery, Chester and Barks the veritable Rev. Mr Smith himself! Its traveled oven! a largo circuit, making frequent changes of horses and vehicles. He was finally arrested and tried for abducting a Mane and carriage. and sentenced 'to the Eastern Penitentiary, after which he was heard of no more—unless this Eli Bowen, (who answers the descrip tion of our lien') is the same Milli curve up again under a slight change of name, but without any material change of character. In every place where this Mr. Owens, or Bowen, or Dare, or Smith, re,iiied as a preacher, lie was very generally admired, esteemed and beloved, both an a man and a min. inter. In each place he was in a position to enjoy competent worldly comfort. In [hone where he was a 'married man, his companions were amiable and calculated to render a man respected and happy. In every case, his repeated crimes In ought sure punishment by the hand of man—much more surely were divine chastisements administered. 10, each case. his lapse from virtue caused a painful shock to the community generally, and plunged family and friends Into great distress, and himself into shame and degrada tion. Surely such a life. properly written, would be inter esting, and a salutary warning to others. Upon further inquiry, and in convermition with on aged citizen of this county, we have good reason not only to think that our correspondent is correct in hie inferences, but that this same Individual figured as a Methodist preacher, of more than ordinary acceptance, in the northern part of this county about thirty years ago. The gentleman referred to had en interview with "the old Doctor" after his late discharge, and wee deeply impressed with the con viction that he wee the man he had heard preach many years ago, and who disappeared somewhat mystcrioualy.— The "Doctor" Is familiar with the history of the prominent clergymen, of all denominations, of a quarter of a century ago, and In his conversations shows that he must have been personally familiar with them ; and that he was well acquainted with other prominent men in carious sections of the country there can be no doubt. Take him all in all, he is a most remarkable man. While in prison. he was permitted, on two or three occasions, to "preach;" we chanced to hear him once, and a more im pressive and eloquent discourse we have seldom heard. He possessed all the requisite for a "popular preacher," so far as one can judge from appearance. He le also well versed in medical science, and hie stock of general knowledge is surpassed by few. He was furnished with the requisite means to carry him to the place he designated as his "borne," in a distant part of the State, and we sincerely trust that the weight of years now upon big bead will bring with his grey hairs "fruits meet for repentance;' but as he persisted to the last in asserting his Innocence of the offence of which he was convicted—though the evi dence was clear against him—we shall not be surprised to hear of him turning up again In one of his old characters, perhaps slightly modified I He has a passion for preaching which will be hard to overcome I FRANK STOIICH.—The anuual examination of Frank Slouch's Juvenile Clara will take place, at Fulton Hall, on Thursday evening next. Keifer's full Cotillion Band has been engaged. A RASCALLY TaessecrioN.—We learn that a Mr. Roar, of Sinnemahoning, sold hie timber to some scoundrel at , Marietta, and received in payment six hun dred dollars in counterfeit money. We are equally aston ished at the sauces' and the boldness of this villainy—we would not have thought that a man could ba found who would take that amount of mousy, these hard times, with out examination as to Its genuineness; or, that another man could be found with the hardihood to pass it. under circumstances so likely to involve his detection and ex posure. Such occurrencea very much enlarge our notions of human depravity. We clip the above from the Lock Haven (Clinton Co.) D.mucrut, of last week, and should take Mr. Roux, of Sinnemahoning, to be a particularly green Individual. That Marietta is Infested with such a scamp, as the paragraph quoted would Indicate, we are loth to believe. If there is a character of that kind, In that onmmunity, we turn him over to the " tender mercies" of our friend tires, of the Marie-Mon. Ferret him out, and give the rascal comfortable lodgings in the Lancaster County Boarding House, at the upper end of East King street. SHOE STORE ROBBED.—OD Wednesday night last the shoo More of Mr. Souneborn, In West King street, was robbed of about SAO worth of shoes. The thief must have had a key with which he opened the door, and he took the precaution to lock it again after securing his plunder, probably to'prevent any enterprising rival in his line of business from fobowing hie example! Nothing has yet been heard of the thief or the stolen goods. Oillf MON PLEAS CuI:RT.—A C ,, urt of Common Pleas will beheld in this city, commencing on Monday next, to continue two weeks.

This is certainly -straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel," f.l- the calit;,rnia members, now holding seats in that Hall. as well as their predecessors, were elected by general ticket. The Senators ale t. Messrs. Rice and Shields, are occupying seats in the Seaat• Chamber, having been ad. milled thereto and duly sworn in ,m Tuesday last. The Clingman resolution, militig for the abrogation of the Clnyton-Bulwer Treaty, is meeting with doterniined opposition at the hands of the Administration, it having been offered, and heralded as the undoubted now of the Executive, who had nut even been consul tel upon the pro. priety of the same.

'Twould not be surprising if 801110 one of the anti-Adminis• tration Democracy in the present Congress, were to offer a bill, rendering it necessary, before any Congressional enactment becomes a law, that the people of the Union should vote upon it, that every law would embody their expressed will, such is their desire to hear the popular voice. Some of them will hear it to their heart's content, between tnis and the next Congress. The Committee of Accounts, through their Chairman, Mr. Kunkle, of Md., yesterday made a long report, charg ing the preset] t Doorkeeper of the House, R. B.

The legislature of California has pass ed a bill prohibiting the future immigration of free negroes to California, and compelling those already there to register their names .and take out licenses.
