PORTER BR AWLEY, or CRAWFORD CO The Appointments. The appointments at Washington are being slowly made There is such a rush for the various posts at the disposal of the Appointing Powers, that tune will be required to decide upon the claims ant merits of the applicants. The Piesideut is beleagu eJ Jay and night by the crowds who hanker after the places at his disposal; the departments are beseiged, by those who are demanding the reward Di their services. The tifultitude . ol those looking for an office almost exceeds belief. this State the principal local offices are Colin. tor, Survey or of the Port, Naval Officer, and Post. master at Philadelphia. For Collector the promi. nent arplicants are Charles Brown, of Philadel phia, Judge Eldred, Ex Governor Porter, arid John A. Gamble. For Surveyor, Gen. Reuben C. Hale, of Nlitflin Co.. and Col. R. IL Young of Philadel phia. For Naval officer, Judge Strickland, of Chester County, and J. 51*Kibben of the Merchant's Hotel. For the Post office, a G. Wescutt is the most prominent candidates. These appointments will probably be made soon, and in the meantime 'a fierce rivalry is existing be tween the applicants, and no means left untried which may promote their chances for the coveted posts. It is rumored, and probably with some truth, that Mr. BUCIiINAN will be offered a foreign mission.— That the country will be well represented in such a case, there Can be no question. There are at least one hundred applicants from Pennsylvania for Consulships. Some of these pcst4 are very lucrative, and are sought after. Of course they cannot all fall to the lot of Pennsylvania, and there must be some disappointed applicants.

In view of this fact it is better to designate the thay,of final adjournment some time ahead. he bill providing for the appointment of a State Agrcultural Chemist at au anr.ual salary of $lOOO. was defeated by a close vote, a majority of the Sen ate beirg of the opinion that the benefit to the ag ricultural interest from such an ogcer, would not repay the expense. The Pennsylvania State Ag ricultural Society have already received a large donation from the State, their annual exhibitions have been , successful, and the money in their treas ury already amounts to eight or nine thousand dol lars. Probably the knowledge of this fact, and their ability to employ and pay well an Agricultu ral Chemist, had some influence in the termination of the Senate: About three weeks or a month agn, Resolutions were introduced into the Senate, submitting to a vote of the people the question of a prohibitory li quor law. They were referred to the Judiciary Committee, which reported them Ixely with a negative recommendation. The Resolutions do not propose to make the operation of any liquor law dependent upon the sanction of a majority of the people, but merely to ascertain theirsense upon a question of great interest, leaving to fatre Legis lature the responsibility of complying with, or dis regarding their wishes. It may be said in opposi tion to the Reso:utions that the Representatives elect ed by the people reflect their opinions upon all questions, without a resod to this extraordinary mode of ascertaining them. This might be tine if the question of liquor or no liquor could be distinct ly presented at the election of Representatives, but in the midst of various and taxying local and per sonal interest, no general question can be bronght to bear upon the minds of voters. The Legislature is overrun with petitions asking for the enactment of a prohibatory liquor law.

SING7LAR ATTEMPT AT SCICIDE —When the two o'clock P. M. train yesterday, from Dover, was about eight miles north of Newark, a German, nam ed George Bonarh, was seen standing ner the track on one of the curves, with his face towards it, and, as the train came wallin a few yards of him, he deliberately walked towards the track, ahead of the train, and was struck on the h-ft shoulder by the frame of the locomotive. An arm was broken, out it is thought that he is not dangerously injured.— As soon as the fireman saw him walk towards toe track, he gave the alarm to the engineer, but they were so near to him at the ifne that be was struck, that the engine could not be reversed. The engin eer and fneman of the train are of the opinion that he did to deliberately, and with the design to de stroy his life, which he would certainly have ac complished if he could hare found time to take another step. They further state that he was on the track ahead of the train twice on the day before, and the engineer of the accomodation train also says he was obliged to stop his engine twrce to al !ow him to get nut of the way The man was plac ed in charge of Dr. L Van Bloppoel.--Nereark Adr (I* We learn from an authentic source that the Cagawissa, Williamsport and tie Railroad Com pany have made arrangements to hare their road finished, between Catarsiss,a and Tamaqua, by the first of nest January.

That in the opinion ()Idris meeting, the allegation that a Railroad running through Wyo. ming county to the Lackawanna and Western Rail road would 'injure the North Brai.ch Canal, is not well founded. That said Lackawanna and Western Railroad is now ss much of a competitor of the North Branch Canal, as any branch running through the county of Wyoming arid connecting therewith, possibly, can be. That none of the heavy tonnage. that would be carried upon said _branch rail road would go upon the canal, if such road should not be built. 2. That the construction of such a toad through our eounty would add greatly to the prosperity of Northern Pennsylvania. That instead of diminish ing, would increase the business of said canal—and add to the taxable property in this section of the state four-fold. 3. That while we claim to be the firm anil true friends • t the N. B. Canal, living along the line of said imptovemant, and would oppose any measure that would injure dtesame—arid being satisfied that a rail-road would not operate injuriously to said ca nal—we therefore urge upon our Senator and Reps resentatives to use their influence in favor of the passage of the amendment aforesaid. 4. Tuat we cannot discover the propriety or consistency of the opposition made by the Senators to this bill, when they have voted lot railmaJs along nearly the whole of the Stare intrrovernents below us,—that there is no force in the objections made, sa long as the beginning and terminus are unchang ed j—that we are utterly opposed to that nix:icily and contracted policy, and look upon it as unwor thy of the spirit of the age, that would restrict the distance between any kind of public improvements. Resolved, That the President of the meeting be authorised to appoint a number of persons as a committee to repair to Harrisburg to urge the pas sage of said bill. Resolved That the proceedings of this meceing be published in the Wyoming, Bradford and S quelianna papers, and that copies be sent to our Senator and Representatives. The meeting was adii:cssed ty ‘Vitiches:er, Brisbm and Litde. Church and Missionary Intelligence The Wesleyan Missiounry Nolias for February, cites an account cf a remaikable movement in Sierra Leon, where numbers of idols have been :4:yen op or cast away by those who had hitherto been addizted and enslaved to their worship. The London Watchman states, that at Freetown such a number of idols were given up as no one suspezted the place to have contained. The peepie paraded the streets in crowds, carryir.g the heathen deities in procession, to delivir them up to the magistrates and missionaries. The Northern Christion Adcorate, Auburn, N. , objects to the recet-t announcement t om the 3le:h odist Book Concern that no dividend will be made this year, in consequence of the outlay for publish ers, tic. It says: Now, whether such an outlay is warrantably called tor, at the- expense of making ro dividend whatever, is not fin us to fay; be that as it may, the claimants on our Conference funds Will be seriously affected by it, as the annual divi dend from the Book Concern has been a consider able item toward making up the of:en lamentably small amount paid to the way-worn itinerant, and to the dependent widows and orphans of deceased ministers; and now, if this resource is to be cut off this year, our (almost) -entire dependence'n - ill be upon what is called the fifth collection; and should chat be as small as it has been other years, weshall have cause to feel ashamed of the report that will have to appear in our Conference minutes, and to grieve for those who will so severely feel the ef lee's of so insignificant a pittance.
