The party retired for-a few minutes, after a tew introductions, and immediately Mier dinner proceeded to the State House, where Goy. Kossuth was presented to the two houses of the• Legislature. The House met at 11 o'clock. Abate neon, large nnmbers of ladies began to fill the Halt of the House of Representatives, and ling before the meig:::" of the House, all the seals of members on the door were occupied, notwithstanding the rule which had been adopted by the Committee. The rotunda of the Capitol, and - .especially the entrance to the Hell of the Hodge, presented a scene of the utmost contusion and excitement, the dense crowd strug gling 'or admission, and lavishing imprecations up. on the officers on duty. The Speaker repeatedly and loudly called ripen the House to come to order, but without avail. The speaker of the Senate also appealed to the crowd, entreating them to clear the rotunda, and allow the Senators to pass into the Hall of the House ; but his appeal was disregarded - by the mob, Which shored and hooted all the more. and indulged in the most clttoracefut exhibition of rowdyism. hlefipeaker RheY, of the House, plied his g avel in vain and finally gave up the task. • In trio midst of the contusion Judge Gillis at. tempted to address the Chair. He had auderstood that the Legislature of Pennsylvania was to receive illustrious Kossuth, but the seats of -the members were occupied by strangers. He hoped that Kbs suth would not be received in a way that would disgrace the State, and moved that the Convention adjourn until 10 o'clock to.worrow morning. Mr. Frailey, of Schuylkill, rose to reply, bat his voice was drowned ameethe shouts of the mob Every body rose to their feet. The Speakers called to order, and asked the members to be seated, if possible. ' 'Judge Gillis said that if the Speaker would order the officers.of the House to clear the Hall of the persons who occupied the places of members, he would take his seal. Mr. Frailey hoped that the Convention would not adjourn. Mr. James said it was burning d.egrace that the proceedings of the Legislature of Perin4Ylvania, on an occasion like this, should be interrupted by a noisy rabble. Judge Gillis insisted upon his motion to adjourn. The Speaker finally put the quest* and the motion to adjourn was voted down almost unani mously, but whether by members or strangers it was impossible to tell. The military having been sent for after the open ing of the House, with a view to disperse the mob, the National Guards of Harrisburg, Captain John R. Garland, arrived at 10 minutes to 5 o'clock, and marched into the Rotunda, took possession of the doors. Several attempted to resist, and a number of arrests were made. At 5 o'clock the Governor and Heads of Depart. ments were announced and entered the Hall. The confusion was then again renewed in the Rotunda, in the midst of which the Sergeant at Arms an. nounced the joint committee-of the Senate and House of Representatives, who'entered, Messrs Kunkle, of the Senate, and Bonham the House, escorting the distinguished guest, Lo , sis Kossuth. The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Kunkel, I then introduced Gov. Kossuth to the House, and he took L.:sae - 2 1 beside Gov. Johnston on the speaker's stand. The noise, confusto.: and sheering here become so great that the ceremonies' of re 6•ption were, for a time, suspended, anti the Speakers, ori:: - .'red the doors to be closed ; but this was found impitsi:..-!`t the mob having again acquired the ascendency in their vicinity. Gov. Kossuth sat calmly looking sin, not a feature of his face disturbed. The military finally marched through the Hall, and passing out at the back win dows, 'filed around to the front of the Capitol, with a view of again entering the Rotunda and clearing it of the mob. The attempt ? however, was futile. In the midst of the confusion, Gov. ohnston arose and commenced his address of welcome to Gov. Kossuth, not a word of which was heard beyond the Clerk's desk, if oven there. When Gov:Johnston had concluded, Gov. Kos. suth remaining standing relent for some time, until the doors being closed, be commenced. his reply, amid the now deadened shoots of the crowd out. side. His speech was listened to with breathless attention by those inside the Hall, and frequently interne' ten, by shoots of applause. Gov. Kossuth spoke for about fifteen minutes, and wherlhe had finished the Convention was ad journed, and then, and not until, was the scene of rowdyism ended. During the evening, at his apartments, hs sa as introduced to many members of the Legislature, and a Urge number of citizens who called upset him. HORILISI.FL—The D Journal states, that in the village of Birminghallpwhere that paper is publish ed, a woman, 35 years old, the mother of 6 children lay at_the point of death, on the night of the 3 tst ot December on a bed destitute of sheets and clothing a,,, few coals only in the stove—who was a corpse before morning. In the garret were 5 children— three years old, with its feel frozen. And the father, where was hel r -stupidly drunk! indiflerently gaz- ing on the scene ! That paper adds, that the father earns $2 and a day—but spends the larger por tion of it in gratifying his depraved appetite for rum ! How great the amount of rein , distress and softer ing, caused by.the use of the intoxicating draft!— Who can sum it up? Our jails, our a ork-houses, our prisons are filled with the victims of rum.

The rest had - .goi:e to Sa. lem ; claiming that tote the Seat of Government. A temporary organization was effected at Oregon City by the memberain attendance. An ineffret• nal attempt has been made to organize the council at Salem, by electing A. L. Lovejny, president, but he had refused to serve. It was also reported that several metubers of bo:h branches of the Legislative Assemlily would leave on the first boat for Oregon City. It was uncertain. however, whether there would be a quo: um at either place; it not there will be no session this.year.

TIM MAINE: LIQUOR Lxvv.---The Mayor of Port land, Me., in his report to the Common Council of that city, gives the most gratifying accounts of the effects of the Liquor Law on the morality, prospe ity and order of the city. So quiet, peaceable and orderly are the streets that watchmen have been altogether dispensed with, although several were indispensable before the passim , e' of the law. Public houses or grog shops have utterly disap peared, and liquor is only sold in very small'quan tities and with the greatest secrecy by a few for eigners. No more than one quarter the amount formerly used is now consu tied in the State. The number of persons requiring relief from the Alms- House, both intern and extern, is seriously reduced, and the. House of Cortection is entirely empty. The Mayor says : " I have reason to believe that the law is every day becoming more firmly fixed in tale favorable regards of-the people of this city and Stale, and I am confident that no retrograde step will be taken here in relation to this subject. He concludes his report thus : " I am confident at the end of this municipial year I shall be able to report to the City Colincil that this traffic is entirely extinguished, And that the city has not paid a dollar of the cost. We have also received a letter from a conespon dent at Calais, in Maine, confirming the above— Our correspondent says that some time in Decem ber a vessel arrived at that port having on board several barrels of alcoholic spirits, which, an its ar rival, the Sheriff seized under an execution for debt. While thus in the custody of the Sheriff, he was re quested to deliver it over to the City Marshal under the Liquor Law. The Sheriff refused, but the Mai shal made seizure and appointed a keeper. The Sheriff took the I quur horn the keeper and stored it in a private house. The Marshal summoned a posse of temperance people, broke open the house, carried off the liquor, and by legal jintstment under 'the Liquor Law, it was spilled on the public streets on the last day of the year. Since then, Houston, in whose house the liquor was stored by the Sheriff, was tried for an attempt to kill, and on the other hind the Marshal awl his men were summoned and tried for riot. The former Wan acquitted and the latter found guilty, but no sentence has yet been pronounced. The Temperance men, our cones. pendent says, will lake care that the law shall be faithfully obs erved.: ' A SMALL FACT.—The folio xing is an extract from the speech of Col. SMALL, at tho Kossuth meeting in Philadelphia. ti What do you think the imnionnljackson would have said upon the subject of non-intervention at this time I • (Immense cheering.) I can imagine, gentlemen. The old hero, watching with deep in terest the struggle between Hungary and Austria, and the aproach of the Russian Bear to take part against the gal'atit Magyar, would have said at once to the latter, 4 ' Halt, there; Mr. Bear, this is none of your business;--we'll just draw a ring and show the parties fair play, but if you do mix in, look out for yonrsell; I'll be in too, by the F.ternite."

' The Mormon Governor is also said to have abused Washington at &public rneetingisaying that " he Was a greeter man than George Washington ;" that he " knew more than George Washingthn ever Bid," &c. The excitement of the people became so great, that the officers feared for their lives. Misappropriation of the United States funds is another of the charges brought against Gov. Yana —The vice of polyga my, according to these recreant officials, has reach , ed an outrageous height, We extract the follisvi , log, in reference to this point hem their letter to the president; , i` We deem it our duly to elate, in this official communication, that i;;;! . yr.l . amy,orplarality olwives is openly avowed and practised in iltz, territory, un der the sanction and in obedience to the direct com mands of the church. So universal is this practice, that verylew, if any, leading men in community can be found who have not more than one, wife each, which creates a monopoly and which was peculi arly hard upon the officers sent- to reside thhre. The prominent men in the church, whoperaxamite in all things it is the ambition of the More' humble to imitate, have each many wives,some 'of them; we are credibly informed and believe, as many as twenty or thirty, and Brigham Young die Governor even a great number. Only a feW days before we left the territory, the Governor was seen ridifig through the stteets of the city in an omnibus; , witli a large company of his wives, more than two-third, of Whom had infants in their arms—a sure sign that the evil is increasing. It is not uncommon td find two or more sisters married to the same min ; and in one instance at least a mother and her daugh. ter are, among the wives of a leading member of the church. This practice, regarded'and punished as a high and revolting crime in all civilized coon tries, would of coarse never be made a statutry offence by a Mormon Legislature ' • and if a crime at common law, the court would be powerless to corm:A the evil, with Mormon juries." The document shows a most monsoon's state of social as well as political morals in Utah,. but it does not seem to us to afford satislactory reasons for three prominent United States of:fleeter abandoning their posts, and flying With so Much haste to the seat of government. Frightful Railroad Accident. The following, we extract from the Philadelphit‘ Latzer of Saturday morning, The 6 o'clock train from New-York, yesterdays morning, on passing Bristol, dropped one of its ears those having charge of the train ran the cat ofl the main track into a small car -brise, r pit left it there, but neglected to torn bark again into its pro - per place the switch leading to the car-honse. At 12 o'clock, .the 9 o'clock train from New-York reach ed &loot, arid there being no passengers waiting there, was passing on at nearly full speed, whey- it reached the switch, and a sudden jar and the crash ing of timbers caused quite a'consternation ammo , the passengers. s The Locomotive had been turned from its proper course by the misplaced s - ritch, and ran upon the track leading to the car-house into a hich it plunged, bursting through the doors and forcing the empty care standing in the house thence through a brick wall in the rear, thence through a pile of wood in a yard adjoining and thence again into the dining•toom of the house of Mr. William Stew'• art, in the middle of which himself and family, seven in number, were sitting around the dinner table. The whole interior of the back building, which was of frame, about 12 feet in by 16 feet in length, was brought down in a mass of ru • ins, the upper floor falling on the table and stove, with the bedding and tuunitnre from above. The passengers immediately left the cars to ren der such assistance as might be needed. They found Mrs, Stewart and a young girl who were in the room at the time of thecrash, were in the yard whence they had been thrown, frantic with terror, while the lather was struggling to rescue his child• ten from beneath the ruins Their screams could be beard and for a few minutes. nothing could be ,en of them, but on the upper floor, which had fallen being lifted off, tha three children, two girls and a boy, were found covered orer with rubbish and rescued, whet the it injuries; were.happily found to be but slight. On returning to the car house, into which the head of the train had entered. th'e locomotive and tender were found to be driven together, and the running gear and the name of the former crushed into a hundred pieces, being, in a fact, a perfect wreck. The end of the 'empty car, or rather the shattered frame of, it, was driven almost entirely out of the car-house through the brick wall, and it lodged ort,the pile if wood in the yard, between the rear of the house and the dwelling of Mr Stew art ; a portion of it entering arid demolishing the back of which, as before stated, but still retaining its eleiated position. The truck of this car was thoroughly demolished between the front of locomotive and the lower part of the wall which, heir' , " built against a bank of earth did not give way. Th e engineer, Mr. Peter Pro vost leaped ofl as soon as the head of the locomo tive struck the -door, and succeeded in escaping with a slight injury to his site and back. The two firemen, James K , infey and James . Lexor, both of New- Brunswiek, discovered the danger of their position ton late to jump; and were tripod at last between the locomotive and tender, the first with his right foot caught at the instep, the bones crush ed and protuding in alt 4011 manner, and the sec ond with a similar injitr) to his left fool; and, though not so severely crushed as the other. A messenger was sent by the conductor, by - horse express to the telegraph stationat Trenton, and a mes , age sent to Philadelphia for another locomo tive which reached Bristol auhree o'clock, and af ter a detention of about three hours, the train was again in motion to the city, where tt arrived at 44 o'clock_ Nlmut* Eci.tesso.--The river Shirhawit, between Bombay and Cape Comorin, fails in the gull o f Arabia. • The river is about one fourth of - ii mile in width and in the rainy season, it is nearly thirty fee deep. This immense body of water rushes down a rocky elope 300 feet, at an angle of 25 degrees, at the bottom of which it makes a plunge of 850 feet into a black and dismal abyss, with a noise like the loudest thunder. The whole descent ia therefore, 1150 feet, or several times that of Nitigara. The volume of water in the latter, is some larger than that of the former, but in ha depth of descent Wall be seen there is nocomparison between them. In the dry season Shirvrahir, is a small stream, and in the fall'is divided into three cascadis,ol surpassing beauty and grandeur. They are almost dissipated and disolved into mist before reaching the - bed of of the River below. . - / CALIFORNIA..—On FOR CALIFORNIA ..— On tho last Tri p( the steamer Isabel from Charleston for Havana, twenty young men from Burke and .
