Upon - a careful scrutiny 01 the (emir's, we count 48 whip as elect• ed, and 41 opposition. As each side had chosen 100 members at the previous election, our count gives the whigs seven majority over all others in the House, securing in that puny the power to fill die vacancies in the Senate, and the election of a governor and United States Senator. The Commonwealth (free soil) divides the House —whig, 148 ; opposition, 142. 'Mehemet (whip ) makes it consist of 149 whips, 1-22 coalitions, and 17 anti coalition democrats. A large number of towns have failed 10 choose, and the House will not be more than halt full.

From the Harrisburg Keystone The following communication from a leading (!e -mocratic citizen is well timed. No democrat labor• ed with more eloquence and effect throughout the late campaign than Col. Frazer. Far more than our correspondent says is deserved.

Every member of the party exhibited an interest in the welfare °Ms principles, which has been well'rewarded by the brilliant yin-- tory which has been gained'. Amongst those who were zealous and active in the good work of an: complishing this grand result, we noticed with plea. sure Col Reah.Frazer, of Lancaster. the " Old War (forms of Democracy." His efforts in (titterer., parts of the State, his able and eloquent speeches in the counties of Centre, Clinton, Blair, Dauphin, Perry, &r., did much to arouse the democracy of the-e sec tions and infuse into them awerier* which matt• ing could appease.

A long and pain ful illness had given abundant warning of this sad event. but the loss to the city and the grief' of his friends at the decease of so eminent a man are not lessened by the preparation for it. Mr. Sergeant' was born in Philadelphia, fleeember 5111, 1779, and hail therefore nearly completed his seventy-third year. He graduated at Princeton in 1795, was ad mitted to the bar in 1799, and at once acquired a lucrative practice. He held many offices of trust the early part of his career; was elected to Con ,gress. in 1815 and wal re:elected to three Ware grient terms. In 1825 he was President of the Board of Canal Commissioners, and in 1826 was appointed by President Adams a member of the proposed Panama Congress. On his return from Mexico, where he spent some time 'Waiting the re-assembling of this - botly,• he was re-elected to Congress, anti in• the following year ware again' a candidate, but defeated by Judge Hemphill.. In 1832 he was the Whig candidate for the Vice Prem. dericy on the ticket with' Mr Clhy. In 1838 he was President of the Stale Convention to revise the Con stitution. in 184 U he was again Petit to *Congress Soon afterwards President Tyler offered him the mission to England, which he declined, His' l at e public service was as arbirratitr to settle the contro versy between the State of New Jersey and the United States, which he disposed of• finally.

He assisted the ladies on the wreck, but was scarcely Conscious of what he was doing, and insensible to the effects of some scalds arid severe bruises atria after the excitement was over. Another gentleman, who was asleeii in a berth im mediatel) over the boilers, says that lie had sense. !ions similar to what a person might imagine he would have by falling over a roaring cataract of sev. ,eral hundred feet, and although but a moment or - two in "mid ait,"'the incidents of a life passed through his mind, He recovered hisconsciouriness after falliogithri flie water, about a rod,or two from shore. Where the latter gentleman was reposing everything around was blown entirely away, and scattered into thousands of fragments. - A letter to the Columbus Journal makes mention of an act ofdiscretion arid bravery on the part of a young lady passenger highly creditable:- Senator Covey was sitting in the ladies' cabin, and, in the, crash, the stove, near which he was sitting, was thrown upon him and broke his leg. A young lady of our acqnaintance, Miss Charlotte Stone, of M. Connelsville, manifested peat presence of mind.— . , By her exertions, she rerhoied the hot stove from Mr. Covey and took' him trom the cabin wreck In the guard of the boat. She then procured a mattress. and put him on it till he could be removed. The hot stove, with its miming contents, was on the floor; and would have soon set the wreck on fire. She took blankets and sheets from the berths, and, plunging them in the water, thew them on the store arid floor, and thus avoided that danger.

These embrace letters born Mr. Adams, Mr Clay, Mr. Forsyth, from the year 1822;to 1826. There seem. ed at that time to he strong apprehensions on the part of the Spanish Government,•that Cuba would declare itsell independent. That a revolution was secretly- preparing,. fomented by communications between. a society of Free-masons in Cuba, and another of the same fraternity in Philadelphia. A t the same time, on the part of the United States Government, there was an apprehension 'hat-Cube, in the war between France and Spain, and the con flict which Spain was waging with her revolted previnces., would fall into the hands of France or England, as *pain would be unable from the loss of her dominions on the American continent, to ex tend to Cuba . that protection necessary for its inter nal security and outward defense. The burthen of the correspondence is to assure Spain, that the United States would do nothing to encourage revo lution in Cuba. as they had no designs of aggran disements, the same time it would u 'e all the means in its power to prevent the Wand falling in :the hands of Great Britain.

The Camp is improving very fast; there teing at least thirty frame houses in pro cess of erection at the present time. Murphy's promises to be one of the principal towns in the mountains * ' A communication to the Herald, gives a full ac count of the actions of the miners in Jacksonville in expelling the Chinese. 11 appears that the au thorities pl Jacksonville interfered in the first place, to protect the Chinese in work iriTtheir claims, pro ceeded so far, even, as to arrest five of the persons who were carrying out the milling regnlations in this respect. The latter parties submitted peacebly to the arrest, and were taken to Jacksonville, but liberated on parole. On the same evening, (Friday 22.1 itist .) a meet rig of miners wcs.held. in the Empire House. which was addreelieif by Captain Amyx, G. B. Harris, and Mr. Eddy, at which it was resolved to meet the next morning to enfrove the miners' regulations. Accordingly, next morn ing, (Saturday,) at a 8 o'clock the miners assem bled. chose Capt Amyx as their leader, and went through all the Chinese camps in die Jacksonville mining district, summarily expelling - rhe Chinese wherever they. went. Th'e. - auttiorities endeavored to interfere, but were perfectly powerle.s in the premises; and finally, the prisoners above mention ed, were discharged, there being no testimony forthcoming to convict them of any oflence against the laws Moquefemne Hill-and the rich mining country around it will-he watered. it is confiiently hoped, by the MoqueleunniCanal and Mining Company, who"expeei to have their works in lull opera ion iowards the latter end of Decemhe'. Should they be ifisppoinied in their expec:a' INIP, they will at all events be enabled to othed a supply of water, in continuation of that derived from the rains San Andres, distant about ten miles trom the Hill has two ditches for supplying its rich places. One brings in the water tron. Wtlkrw Cieek, and trav erses a section of Country but very little worked. •and Which abounds in rich gold deposits. The other is from the stream known as Maine's Branch. one of the tributaries of the Calsrelas. These will F flord an abundant supply, and the claims are gen erally taken, arid piles of earth thrown up along the line. / Angell's Camp derives its supply from the creek, which will be further increased by the great canal running from tie Stanislans. The, txrtning ground around this camp is not suipaSi4d by any in the country. Murphy's Camp derives its supply from the same source. This creek has afforded sufficient water during the summer to work a dew 10111 P, and will, of course, be the means of great employ merit during the winter. The Murphy's canal will sup p'y a district of country hitherto untouched by the pick and shovel, and which will afford constant occupation for numberless hands Turning towards the north, we find Volcano supplied by Sutter's Creek, While in the gulch they will have more than they want. Clinton and Se cretoare well watered by the south branch of:Jack son creek and on the middle branch are placers that will richly repay labor. Jackson's rich resour. ces are provided for by both streams, by which an immense amount of gold will be turned out. The vicinity of Sutter clertves ample means of washing from its own creek ; while Amadore, Rarcheria, Dry Creek, and othercamps, will be abundantly supplied by their respective streams: Drytown, this year, will have ire additional advantage of the Cosumnes canal, which will pronjyte ,the interests of the miners, and be most beneficial to the sur ronndine Country. Altogether, the prospectdwinter digging in liet' ter this year than it ever has been hope that miners will, in . . great measure be relieved from vexatious delays and exiitensive and toilsome jour neys in claim hunting.
