sundry reaolutions, the Conventibri atijoritned sort
thr,
We have feceind weepy of the-Veba Blessige
by Governor glat.ze, on-the bill entitled "An Act
relative Ickcertein-Sebo6l Districtato authofizec(4-
lierelion to -übscribe.to - the stock -of the Ohio and
Pennsylvaitjaltkilßoad Company, and for other
purposes" His pritteipal objection is to the otiose
which allows - corporations other than municrpal,lo
subscribe to the stock of the Ohio and Pennsylvan
ia Rail Road Company, and 1 , , pay for the same' in
money, orstitertvise"--ainis opening a way, to sub
scriptions and payments in all sorts of bonds and
certificates of stock of corporation to the capital au
thority. He is also not in favor of an estensiou of
the principle of allot.Fing. rink borporation, to sub
scribe to the stock of enother, end he signed the
supplement to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, alt
lowing it in that case, with much reluctance— the
importance. of the. work as a State enterprise, and
the peculiar circumstances of thicase leading him
to look with peculiar favor. -upon it. He is fearful
of an abuse of the priniiple recognized in this bill,
which would authorize hisoks, o 3te , to subscribe to u
corporation , whose works lie mainly in another Slate.
Reenters upon a lengthy argument to sustain
his views, pointing out the dangerous tendency of a
onion of numerous corporations for private gain ;
the risk to the elective franchise and to personal
rights and enterprise from their influence; the dan
ger from the creation of new fictitious capital, and
the risk from a tendency to a concentration of cor
porate power. He suggests that in all future meas•
urea of thekind, the corporations should be specifi
cally named; the amount ofsubscriptions limitedpo
a morderate percentage on their property : and the
cash payment of all subscriptions. One or two
other provisians of the bill, Which is of the 11 omni
bus" character, are objected to and the Governor
points out the impropriety of thu s blending together
diversified and incongruous subjects in one bill.
Thur . low Weed, of the Albany Journal, writes
from Genoa a long account of the matrimonial enter
prise of Mr. Wycoff, formerly of this city, in his
pursuit of the hand of Miss Gamble, daughter of
John Gamble Esq., also of Philadelphia. Miss G.
hat' been adopted by a wealthy Englishman, Mr.
Dunlop, on whose death she came into possession of
a large fortune. Mr. W had long been acquaint.
sd with the family, and after the death of Mr. Dun.
lop, called on her in London, and urged her to go
to the Continent for her health. She went with her
fiiends, and Mr. W. following hef o ralling in with
her at various places ) arid being very particular in
his attentions. At Geneva, while walking on the
lake shore, he asked her to marry him seizing her
hand, and refusing to release It until shisconsehted.
As persons were approaching, she gave the con
sent, but soon after repented of it, and, writing to
him she could not marry ,him, she hurriedts
,London
whither he followed, insisting on her keepirq, the
engagement.
Again she fled to.the continent, but her lover,. by
bribing her courier, endeavored to entrap her into
a parlor at Turin, but failed. At Ganta he was
more successful, and managed to get her into a room
with him, locked the door and insisting on her ful
filling her promise of marriage. Here, according
to Mn Weed's report, violence was used, chloro
form unsuccessfully applied, and another promise
of marriage extorted, this timel in writing, The la
dy was afterwards much agitated, but succeeded in
making her case known to the British Consul, who
had Mr. W. with his confederates, Mies Gamble's
courier and valet arrested. They were awaiting
their ;tat at the last accounts. This is a brief con.
densation of a :.?"'y long
and scandalous story. Mr.
%11 coffs version of it hai :ot yet aripartreil.
Clio , * Liza IN Quoo.—The Genoa 3fircarligo
Courier of the 14th, contains the following:
" A cartons Case was lately tried by the Tribu
nal of the FirAt instance of odr city—namely, the
illegal seizure of Miss C. G.Gamble, by an Ameri
can, Al. Henry Wikofl, with a V edr to estort a
promise of ntrriage, or, at least, one half the for
tune of the young lady in case of failure. A French;
man, Louis Vannud, the courier of Miss Gamble,
and a Genoese, Luigi Catitallari, were accused of
being his accomplices. The latter was acquitted,
and the two others sentented to 1.5 months impris
onment "
SINCOLIIR SALE or SLAT LA -. 4 •A negro woman and
several childrin were sold at Gottlsbor, N.C., a few
days ago, at prices ranging from 8117 to $827
The Goldsboro' Patriot RA) s :
"They were the children of a free negro by the
name of Ada.n Wyne, who had purchased their
:pother, his wife, previous t their birth. They
were consequently his Slaves, and he having be.
come involved, they were sold for his debts."
We do not preckely see the law or the logic of
this decision, and would thank the Goldsboro Pa
bid to favor the country with a copy of the opinion
of the court.
In Worcester, .a few nights since, a young Irish
girl, aged thirteen, arose in her slrep, and leaped
from a third story window into the street, yet strange
to say she escaped unhurt.
