Be considered this provision of great publie impor. tance.and which should command the candid atten. don of the Mouse. If it was important that the Itlorth'etauch canal should be speedily completed, then it was important that this provision should be retained. Mr. WHARTON had no conscientious scruples Igajust voting for banks or increase of bank capital bUt what he most complained of was that this bill nabbed the State of her legitimate taxes to be de' iTilted from this bank for the next twenty years. He oaid go for the re-charter of the bank, but not for the boons contemplated. lie contended that the Haase-ha no right to gather up the prospective revenues now and appropriate them for any pur pose. He would gofor a loan to complete the ca• vial, if it was necessary, but would nor lend his vote to anticipate the revenue for this or any other purpose. • , Mr. HART contended. and claimed to show. that the bonus contemplated would far exceed the tax derivable from a tax on the bank dividends, even allowing its dividends to be equal to eight per cent. per azimut 011 its capital stock. He further insist #d that the passage of the bill, retaining the, bonus clause. was a measure of State policy, for the rea son that a certainty would be received instead of a contingency to be enconnteted. 'The bank night tall within the twenty years, or meet with tosses, ao As to prevent it from paying any dividends, in which ease the State would have the money in her hands, and suffer no loss by the failure or misfort tune of the bank. • Mr. BRO(11. was opposed to musing such large, And almost unlimityd priviliges to large and irres• possible corporations. He thought that Philidel- Oda. with all her present prosperity, had no right triclaim .tae a fruit or consequence of an increase ghee banking capital. He thought there was some hidden advantage sought under the cover of this bilk He thought the inducement held out to the Legishore now, savored strongly of that which was held glut when the people were promised an abate. tient of lases if the old United Stales Bank should be re chartered. in that case the debt of the people Stascularced, and the promise broken. Mr., STRONG was in favor of a general bank ing law, but as there could not be got, we must go for special banking laws. Nearly all the banks of the State had been chartered by 'parties ; and it tires right. This State was now behind the age in relation to the creation and management of banking capital. Some States had tried to do without banks and Illinois furnished an example at the fruit result, in, from such a course. Her credit was reduced below par, her property depreciated in value, and personal security rendered unsafe. - bince rile in troduction of her general banking law she was on the road to prosperity, and the fallacy of no banks had been tried end condemned by her experience.— He would go for this bill principally because it had for its objecttb,e completion of the canal, which, when done, would throw an immense sum of win- Moto the treasury of the State, and relieve burdens which were now severe and-hardly tolerable. Mr..HART contended that if all banks were abol ished and the taxes paid by them done away with. it would be equal to levying a tax of over thirty per vent. on the property of the commonwealth ; and Rho would desire such a state of things I Mr. BROCK wished to to learn from the gentle man from Philadelphia, (Mr. Ilser,) why it was that, according to his own showing. Philadelphia twenty•five years ago. with hslf her present popular tion and double her present banking capital, was no better 6ffthan she now was. `ise , PULTON contended that the amendrfient of Ma, .11aitninsoir should be adopted, if for no other 7 1.}sonsIttecalise it was an innovation on settled rules legislation. and looked as if some sinister motive was lid within its provisions, which was intended to snare to enure to the benefit of thd bank and ditekbeidera, and injuriously to the general interests of theleople. Be was also opposed to this bill i n distil grounds. He considered the offer of the bank as a bribe to obtain what otherwise they could not procure ; and .for this reason, iffor no other, he would go Against it. He objected to the bill as an innovation, as setting a danrrous precedent for fa tbrekrtialation, and as immoral salts tendency. be sides being, in effect, a provision for the benefit of one part of the State to the exclusion of. all others. EIYSTER thoeght the matter a simple ane. The bank comes and says, recharter us, and we willpay for the public purposes•• sum in lien of the tax on our dividends—now what reasonable objec tion could there be to this t It was a mere bask use transaction to which neither morals or policy could object: - He went into a ealcriation to show that 'be gain to the State by passing this bill would - beabout4oo.ooo dollars in-the next/twenty years. Mr. KILBOURN was in favor of the amt ndment. He ways friend to the North Branch Canal, but his means for voting for the amendment were that the money etas not no be paid immediately into the Treasury. Let it be paid directly there, and then let it be properly appropriated by the Legislature, and not require two bills to effect the same object. He thought he should vote for the bill, inasmuch as the State would be a gainer by the operation of the bill if the amendment be carried. The amendment was then adopted in committee. Mr. PULTCON moved to amend by strik ing , out one hundred and inserting two _hundred thousand dollars;irhieh was also agreed to in committee.

At the call of his friends, the Hon. 0 H,Bars tow, after compliinenting the address of the evening and the speaker, alluded in terms of great interest, and with much feeling to his early pilgrimage to the Susquehanna Valley, and to the uniform kind ness which he had experienced at the hands of the li early settlers and their descendants.

(Signed by the Officers.) Tire GARDENLII Cssc.—This case is now on trial before the criminal Court in Washington. Every person has heard something about it, but perhaps all may not know its history. The counsel for the Government in opening the cue to the jury, made the following narrative : Dr. Gardener, in a memorial to the board of Corn. missioners, stated that early .in the year 1844 he was largely engaged , in mining operations in the Sups of San Louis Potosi ' Mexico, employed 500 laborers, had upwerdeolB3oo,ooo invested in men, buildings, steam engines, horses, mules, and men of science; that in 1846 he was compelled to aban don the establishment, his property having been disported by the Mexican soldiery; the said mines were worth half a million, and would have yielded him $50,000 per annum. The accused filed with this memorial depositions purporting to be from persons residing in Mexico, going to show that he owned said mine. The issue was on the truth or falsity of these assertions. The United State& af firmed, and expected 'to prove, that every state ment in the memorial, and every paper presented by him, were false from beginning to end, pure tic. lion and invention, that Gardner received lrom the United States, as the fruits of the fried, 8428,750, while his mine could not. be found, though 6600 halt been Offered as a reward to any one who would point out its location. • Rem RKABLL Cass oF BIGAMY —Charles T. Geib, having pleated guilty of bigamy, says a Brooklyn paper, was sentenced to imprisonment in the State prison tor twd'years .and six months. Gieb is a native of New York city, 26 years of age, &painter by trade, and has never been in anyprison before. He supported both his wives. His first wile was Miss Sarah C Chandler, whom he married In the city of Williamsburg in the year 1345, and by whom he became father of several children. For some cause not stated, he married last spring at -East Brooklyn, Miss Mary A. Bedell. His practice was to live first about a week with one wite,Then live with the other about the same length of time, and so went on, to and fro, between Brooklyn and %Villiamsborgh—his business being of such a nature that he easily deceived them by stating that be was engaged in painting a church in Connect cut in this way he accounted for his absence from each.

Troubles 10 Europe. The war spirit, which monifests itself, sometimes at one point and sometimes at another, in Europe, seems to lack fuel, at all points, sufficient to raise the flume. The out-break in Italy consumed it sell before it got any considerable headway; and the snarl which Turkey, Montenegro and Austria got into, seems to have been straightened out; so that there is no immediate prospect of war there.— The Hungarians are ready at any lime- to hoist the flag of rebellion, when Austria gets her hands well into war with some other power; but whilst Aus tria has-no outside enemy to war with, there is little chance for Honery to get on her feel to make battle. A horse is a powerful animal, when on his legs; so much so that a man can dd nothing with him if he takes a notion to have his own way; but when he is down, any man can hold him down, despite all hie strength, by simply placing a foist on hie head. Hungary is a powerful horse, and prov ed himself too much for Austria; but, with the power of Russia united to that of her oppressor, and the treason, of some of her own pseudo-patriots, she was thrown prostrate; and her head has been under the foot of Austria ever since. The failure of the expected collision between Anstria'ind Turkey, is .a great disappoinifnem to the Hangars. Treason is still lurking in the bye places of France, as well as in. Italy and Hungary; and Louis Napoleon has to keep an army Of spies, u well as a numerous regular police, coestantly on the alert. No mad dare ;speak a crooked worst in the hearing oh a person whom he does not know:— Any word ofcensure uttered against the govern ment, in the ears of one of three listeners who are in the secret employ cf the Emperor, is sufficient to send the oflender.to prison. And in this way all the prisons of the Empire are kept fell. Every man thus incarcerated, has relations and friends, whose hatred is excited agejnat the Emperdeand his gov. ernment, by the act. Thus tyranical governments are compelled to be more and more tyranical, to keep down the spirit of rebellion which their rigor constan'ly excites. And thus the reciprocal hatred bet weed the despot and his unwilling subjects wax es more and more malignant. %Vhdat he fortifies himself against popular indignation, by acts of se verity, he is laying wrath against the day of retri bution, in the ?leans of those over whom he wields his rod of iron. The thousand evidences which are daily mani fested in France, of jealousy and fear of a goaded people, on the part oldie new tyrant, and of the smothered but swelling resentment and scorn which are struggling for vent in the bosoms of the people, leave little prospect of longevuy for the Empire ; and we should not fear earning the bad fame of a false prophet by predic,ing that there will be a Bourbom on the throne of France in less than five years from this day. There is no element of har mony there, but many causes of tfiswitisfaction And now the excitement which a transition state could not help producing in a people so mercurial and excitable as the French, has passed away, popular grievances will be more sensibly halt; and their effect upon the public mind wilt be the more sure to find vent in open rebellion, for being pent up in their breasts and denied utterance. rue 'New SECIULTARY or STATS.CiIIIIOII A. Black, Esq., of Greene county, the Secretary of the Commonwealth is spoken of everywhere in the highest terms. Gov.

He oc. cupied a seat in the Senate of this State with Gov. Bigler, and was always one of the most intimate friends and warm et/pi:inners. In that body he was well schooled at the financial and political affairs of Pennsylvania, and the experience he there se. cloned will add greatly to the value of his service to the - Govemor and the public.

HARRIIBURCI, March 29, 103. The Senate this morning passed a Resolution providing for the final adjournment of the Legisla ture on the 12th of April, although there is but little hope that an adjournment can be effected at that time. The Appropriation hill has made little or no advance in the House of Representatives, and the Senate will doubtless amend and endeavor to re. duce its amount. The delay in considering it has been produced by the state of the work on the Port. age Railroad to avoid the Planes. Mr. blerriman of the Rouse charged gross corruption upon the Ca nal Commissioners in the allotment of contracts on that mad, and at his instance a Committee was ap pointed to esamlrre into the matter, whose report is necessary to final action on the bill. The Engineer who examined and !aid out the route avoiding these Planes, estimated that the whole cost would be about $500,000. Upon this several appropriations have been made and the work allotted. It now appears that the road cannot be completed under two or two and a hall millions of dollars. This state of affairs has alarmed the Legislature, and induced this investigation. it the work will really cost over two millions of dollars when the Engineer estimated but hall a million, who is in fault ! Mr. Evans introduced a Resolution into the Sen ate instructing the Committee on Finance to prepare a bill for the sale of the Canals and Railroads be. longing to the State. This movement was made too late in the session to receive the careful and serious consideration it deserves, but the feeling that our publics works are becoming a burden by mismanagement, was manifested in the decided majority by which the Resolution was passed. The annual farce, called a Whig Convention came off at Lancaster last week. By pressing a large number of gentlemen of Lancaster and Har risburg into representing. Northern and . Western I Counties they managed todrum up about two-thirds of a full Convention, and then made their nomifta• lions. Mr. Flamm'', their candidate for Canal Com missioner, is a stout good named member of the Hons. of Representatives from Lancaster County, of the most innocent and harmless nature. Mr. McClure, nominated for Auditor General, edits a Whig paper atebitmlwashorg. Judge Myers Senator from Clarion, the nominee for Surma Gewalt' was originally a democrat, became a Whig, was elected to the Senate, and finally has been iotmonalized by a Whig nomination. A stronger nomination might have endangered the election of Mr. Rowley, but this merely confirms it.

Kennedy; late suPerin• tendert' oldie Census Bureacr,_ sued out a writ of .replevin on Mr. De Bow, his successor, by virtue of which he entered the office with a Deputy Marshal, and'removed two or three cart loads or manuscripts arid documents claimed as 'private 'properfy, but embracing a large quantity of manuscripts prepared by clerks in the office f the records of the Census Board ) numerous publications received nom public societieS, &o. The documents removal were ap praised at $4BO, and Kennedy has given bond in 04,000 for their safety. Mr. Deßow consulted the District Attorney, and there is no doubt that the most prompt measures will be taken for the recovery of such as are of pub lic character. It is understood that Mr: Kennedy had accumulated a large mass of manuscripts pre paratory to an extender: work on the resources of the country, which he designed to publish on his own account, as Congress has declined to publish the cenaus returns on the extensive scale proposed. THE Taut. or SPIIING.—The Philadelphia papers are filled with the evidences elicited on the trial of Spring, charged with the murder of the two females, Ellen Lynch and , Honora Shaw. He is indicted separately for each, and it is for the murder of Mrs. Lynch he is now being tried. This murder is among the most horrid on record, and evinces a cold blooded brutality that would make a savage shudder. Mrs. Shaw one of the victims, had it ap pears been receiving his mentions secretly, andby her he was admitted to the house on the night of the murder. The deed was accomplished by dep. patching one by blows with a piece of lead pipe, and by stabbing her with a knife, while the other woman was absent from the room, and then des troying the second in the same manner on her re turn. After murdering these two helpless women, both of them friendly and one apparently attached to him, the wretch attempted to fire the house with the design of consuming the evidences of his guilt. Had he succeeded, the infant twins of -Mrs. Lynch would hate been burnt alive, and possibly the whole evidence of his deep barbarity blotted out. Another horrid feature in the affair is, that the whole development is made by has own son, to whofn he communicated his crime on the same night of its perpetration. The trial wall end this week and it is htipetul that speedy and severe jus. tice will be dealt out. Oz:r P. S —Since the above 'has in type, the tri al has been finished, and the jury have returned a verdict of guilty. The, shock of an earthquake was felt at Water. town, N. Y , early on the morning ol ‘ the 12th InsL A considerable number of ' citizens, who were awake at the time, described vibrations, which were very distinct. The shock occurred at about 10 minutes past 2 oclock. The-first pan of the shock was severe, so much so that persons were aroused from sound sleep After these ceased, the rumbling sound continued at least a Minute and a half ending with a number of slight shocks and vi• burnous, and gradually ceasing. The continuation of duration of the whole shock and vibrations was about two or two end a half minutes. Thehorizon was covered with light, / unbroken clouds. Ther mometer stood at 28 degrees below freezing point. Very calm and no wind stirring at the time. Q tc.. British elections, even . at this hour of the century, are apt to be savage affairs. The Lon don Times, in viewing some of •the evidence as to the prevalent practices, says : • " A Lancashire farmer had received an order for 300 fighting men to do the rough work of the elec tion, with the instruction " that the best fighting men and poachers' would be preferred." A t the "Craven Heifer," on the nomination day, and for some days before, 2000 men ate and drank as much and as fast as the landlord could supply them.— They were introduced in parties, with orders from known friends of the cause—which cause or what cause it matters not to enquire: About 100 of them had bludgeons." irr frlstissotossrfs is about to adopt a new system with her paupers. Each applicant at the almstonise is furnished with a new suit of clothes, and told to go to work. II he'pleads sickness, he is despatched to the hospital, where if he is sham ming,, hospital diet soon brings .him to his strength. If he runs rill with his new clothes, a description of the fugitive is despatched to the other alms houses, and if he applies for relief to them, he is taken in and compelled to workaill be has-111dd for his , out fit. This plan seems to be well devised to keep pewits out of the alms house. • FATIMA Mafincw In Tariatin.—A late number of tbe 'Cork Examiner', says ::=Since the return 'of Faille, Matthew trom America, his •eflorts, with t Divine assistance to suppress intefhpemnce, have ,been atzendo with success, (' The indetatigatkle Amok, of Temperance continues to administer the Total Abstinence Pledge'at bilbrotherts residence, near the city, each =min; 'until twelve O'clock, and ism his post during the emirs of Sunday. knecurrs OP AUSTRALIAN GOLD.—The N.
