If-we are correct in this •■surml.-i.', ■ it is'ccrlajniy to bo hoped that no rtp'rwfiUattve, will,'in unptjinghls pockets, add to .ho bills al ready in the bands of tbo Divorce Committed At uo previous session can I recollect such a numbii" of these applications, for the severance of the marital jiefc and no better cvjdencc of lii'ts increase can bo elicited than the fact "th it one of y onr Philddelpliia 'tne tbbere the other day offered a rtsotntion requesting or Instructing the Speaker to add four td tbc Committee. The press of bad ness may have had something to do with the of fering of the resolution, but there"is an evident desire on the part of representatives to got on the Commit lee. and thus be enabled to be brought in closer contact with tnc falr plaintiffs or de fendants. The Legislature should pass sach a law as will give to the Courts exclusive jurisdi tion in divorce matters, and until it doos, no re spectable woman should go to Harrisburg to ask for such an enactment. , ; ” One of the Bret stlbjeets to be considered by the Senate after meeting will bo the distribution of Bates’s Military History, In' conformity with the tcctmmendaUon of the, Committee on Con ti recce, that the fiVo' thbdaand copies printed btould be taken und paid for. Tho Legislature has taken the ground that it nevor ordered the broke, and that uo. one else had the right or power to do so, but' as Mr. Slngorly, the Stale piinter, asserts emphatically that the order was given by thu'Governor, I presume, unless the Ex ecutive. denies the statement, the amount will have .to be/paid. It Is a great pity the boobs wereeverordered, nnd when ordered,that a pric per copy was not agreed npon. As It Is. no one Knows how many hundreds of thousands the ou tire book will cost. A kill has been read In tho Benatc to pay a thousand dollars to a farmer in the western part of the State for damages to property alleged to hav i been the result of Col. Day's cavalry regiment encamping thereon in the tall of 1863. This is the first claim of the hind that has been presented to the Legislature, and asit will not probably b i successful, itia not likely there will bonny more. If it does pass, the door will be opened for the ad mission ol a sufficient number to take hundreds ■ of thousands of dollars out of the treasury. The Senate General Judiciary Committee has thought proper to negative tho bill providing for the inspection of drags and the appointment of a Slate Ibspector of Drugs. This, ol course, effec tually kills it. The measure was recommeuded by the State Medical Society, and certainly has the endorsement of the medical fraternity, and of the public tft large, although we presume there are some venders of drugs who would object to it. One of tbo priucipal causes of its slaughter was the tact that it entailed npon tbc State an expenditure of some thousands of dollars, and von know the Senate this year is laboring for re trenchment and reform. The ri quests to have property exempted from taxation are becoming so ridiculously numerous that it wonld bo a good idea to ascertain the pro priety of exempting property generally from tax ation, or whaiWould be far better, let'ali the bills presented for this purpose be reported negatively by the committee®! One or tho other should be done epeedily to save trouble to legislators, who arc now annoyed by the applications. The “joint tenant” net ot April 21, 1854, has been so frequently amended—fifteen different times since its passage—that one would suppose there was no room for any larther amendment, bnt as two more supplements have been intro duced it is to be presumed the bill is not yet per fect. One ot these hae been read by Mr. Wallace, and provides that it 6hall be lawful for any com pany incorporated under the act of 1854 oritssup plements.to increase its capital in the manner and subject to the provisions of the supplement of April JO, lfi'62, provided that the amount of capi tal so issued shall not exceed $500,000, and that npon siieh increaso being made the stockholders may provide for the time and manner of the pro rata distribution or the price or term's oi the sale of the additional capital. The second provides that the true meaning of the act ol 1854 shall be that in ail coses where the legal title to ' behind?, leasehold or other interests mentioned in the certificate required by the first section ol that act, have been, are orehall be held in the name of one or more persons for the bene fit or in trust for self or others, the right, title and interest of snch persons shall be deemed to vest in the company, and without any further con veyance or assignment, as fully as though the tame had t.cen or aro held in joint tenancy, in feo simple, or by absolute ownership. Thore are two bills pending in the Legielatnrc in which your pawnbroking fraternity may con sider themselves particularly interested. One was offend by Mr. Muilin, of yonr city, and the other by Benator Connell. Mr. Mullin’s bill proposes to regulate the gentlemen who adorn tbc fronts of their establishments with three golden balls pen dant, and provides that they shall each pay fifty dollars a year to the Mayor ior a license, which they shall display prominently, and that they sbnllnot charge more than one per cent., or for fiil pawns in less than nine months. Mr. Con nell’s bill proposes to incorporate the Chattel Loan Company, with John P. McFadden, William Mat cher, John N. Hutchinson, Jeremiah L. Hutchin son, Robert Greer, Jr., and R. J. C. Walker as in corporators. The purpose of the incorporation is to loan money to meritorious and necessitous ap plicants on goods and chattels deposited by them on collateral security, at a rate per cent, not ex ceeding legal interest and the actual cost for in surance, storage and labor on such deposits.

In thecouieo of; tho entertainmeut tu-i; following toast.bias given by Mr.' <}. Bvrguer— Tho German Department ot : tho Knickerbocker J,ite Insurance Company. , ; ; : Frederick Dlttmanb, Esq.jiyraa called upon to respond, and spoke as follows o<vtUmen —whenever I entey a conrt of j ustlc j I am overcome with a. feeling of snloma awe— with a feeling that I am .at a pioco where tho wrorgtd and the distressed may.find redress for their grievances and.flnd comfort for what they, have suffered through bad men. A similar feel ing I experience When I find, myself in tue ofilee 01-a well and' honestly conductedHfo insurance company. I there remember that from thencu comes comfort and relief to tho tvloow who would otherwise be destitute, to the orphan who would otherwise bo penniless and starving. In deed, it we but for a of the groat blessings of Life Insurance to the people gen erally and tho poor especially,-we uniierst»nd that HP importance cannot’Be’ over-esrimated. Yes, Lifu Insurance exerts a moral influence on :ihc people. Many a man who ; thought, with that dejection so often the companion of poverty, "Weil, I was born poor, and I am sore to die poor,” alter he has an insurance upon his life, becomes more indnstrions,,-more economical,be c.uce of the prospect he has before him, that when hie eyes will be closed,’ when ho wilt have ceusid to toil, grateful children will have better opportunities to raise themselves in the world by the bounty he has secured to them. From what I have had occasion to observe, I am jueiified in saying that the Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company is a great blessing to tbe people. From the reports which we reaaand which arc authentic, it appears to bo a well map ngtd company: and from my, own experience l am happy to be able to shy that many instances of losses by that company have come nndcr my notice and that every jnst and honest claim was promptly paid. I believe that I give bat expres sion to the sentiments of all my bearers when I pay to the President of that excellent company, who at this moment is in onr midst, oar sincere compliment. » But lei me also say to the President of the Com pany, tbe Knickerbocker woaid not be tbe popular Company in Philadelphia which it is 10-duv had it not been for the indefatigable labors ol tbe Agent, Mr. Paul, onr gracious host. There was a time when I was Btrongly prejudiced against him, but I was then laboring under mis apprehensions. I was brought face to face with him urd I became interested m him, for I take an interest in ailtnv German countrymen, but won so in those who faiily and hoaesth work themselves into prominence. I then tract d up bis history and ascertained that he star ed in some small upstairs rooms eomt-wLcre on Coates street, by soliciting small risks in the fire insurance) line', and- that when once started be marched on, until wo find him here to day, circumstanced so as to be able to en urtuin us with this epieodlri collation in his mag nificent new offices. Mr. Paul is a representa tive man of onr Germans. He is an example of what German industry and perseverancecin ac complish: Moyhtz long live. Lion Hunting — The lecture of M. Paul B.
