Scott, Esq., submit ted a report, is bleb. was unanimously adopted, recommending, in 'substance, says the American, an' unconditional subscription to the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad Company upon the part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, of $600,000, if the remaining amount, sufficient. with the Pittsburgh 'subscription of 350,000, to .complete toad io the State line, should be pro. vided by the City Councils and the citizens of Bal timore: A series of resolutions were offered by .Nfr. , - tape, and adopted, after which - the meeting ad journed until the 22dof March. The third reso lution is in the following words: Reeolved, That a committee, consisting of five _ stofikholdere, _be now appointed by the Chairman. tiilalce the requisite measures to present an ap plication to the City COuncils for a subscription tt, the Stock of the Pittsburgh and Conpelsville Railroad Company, and also to take similar measures to obtain stibscriptions from the citizens generallrfiar , the same purpose; and that the said committee shall he authorized to appoint other comrnitteos for a like purpose,- to act under their general direction, and to report their proceedings to the stockholders at as early a day as niay be lime tic able. . Federal.flumling Exploded. The federal papers of this city some time &ince, paraded, with no little flourish of tram- pets, a correspondence between one- I. D. Marks end General Taylor, to prove that if our_ army had remained at. Corpus Christi. all hostilities • • • s =NM with - Mexico would have been avoided, It now c„- apPears, from ('statement made by Gen. Cass in the Senate, that this individual Marks is a pri vate citizen, in no , manner connected with the government whatever. He had not the least au thority for his proceedings, which were. entirely voluntary.. He, wished to be employed as a se cret agent to go- to Gen. Arista, " but brought no letter from Gen. Taylor, nor presented any trace, of authority from Arista or any body.— ' lie was told that' the Government would not employ him—that the whole matter was com- mitted to Mr. &c. His letter, therefore, which was circulated in the federal papers, had just as . much weight and authority"as - the state pent of any, private individual, but . no more.— It a "good-enough-Morgan" for the - unprincipled federal Editors to make use of, im order, if ,possihie, to get-up a prejudice against the administration at• Washingtou. Such con duct is disgraceful. • ei" A bill isnOw before our Legislature, (which has passed one branch,) making Prosecuting At tornies.elective by the people in every county in • the Corianortwealtb bat Philadelphia. Wiry Phil• adelphia county should be exempt from the opera. lions of this law, we are at a hiss to know. This thing of the Legislature passing special acts, in tended to extend to one section of the State, and be inoperative in another, has always appeared to us extlemely fOolish, , well ns anti.dernocratic. It a raw is goeni, the people of the whole State should reap its benefits; and if bad, it should not be permitted to remain on the Statute Book. For instance, in one county, township, city or bOrough, in this State, if a person sells a pint, of liquor. he is fined ; tshiie in an"adjoirtingcounty, township; city or borough, a:man ia'allowed by law to make .a thousand 'Men drunk every day Now it is pro posed-to-make Prosecuting'ttorniii'electire in ev ery county'' ''lave Philadelphia. .Why not include this county also?- We are opposed to these partial, unjustand'unequal iaws--;-theY arenotdemocratic, and-we hope - Governor Suntrx. will PrornptlY ex ercise the veto poser rta4'll,revent them froni into oPeration. . _ FM:qt . /DA AND, GEORGIA BOUNDARr.-At the lass sesion of thiLegislature'of Florida the.

ANII,,WILEREAR, it behooves the people of these United States, blessed by. a kind Providence with abundant harvests to contribute freely to the re lief of thc - destitnte of Ireland, a country from which Many .our citizens derive their origin and to which we.are allied . by the numberless ties 1116- dent to a,common language and kindred laws. Arnovitzna.ts, a bill has been introduced into tongresa, proposing and 'appropriating five hund• red theutiaterdollars to relieve the.poor and desti tute of Ireland.

Mr. Evans, of Chester, spoke eery violently against the resolution; saying that the United States had no authority to distribute the people's money amongst the inhabitants of a foreign coun try ; .that it was unconstitutional to feed thestare ing poor of another clime by money wrung from the people in the shape Of taxes. Mr. Knox re plied that his heart'rethignixed no constitution that refuseidthehard . crust of charity to famished be ings, no matter of what country or religion, and he bail' yet to learn that it was unconstitutional to save thousands of fellow beings from a horrible and wasting death. Several other members spcike in the same strain, and poor Mr. Pearce found him self in rather hot. Water. Mr. Kline; thinking that this resolution Was merely got up for effect, moved to amend by striking out all after the word re. solved, and insert the following, „ that five,dollars be deducted out of the per diem payof each mem ber, to be applied to the relief - of Ireland." This reaolUtion was voted down by the Whigs.

EARL. ,Oplnfono of Sontor Underwood. flon. JOSEPH IL tlytinstiroon, the newly elected Seitthior. from Kentucky, addressed a letter to the Kentricky Legislature, .n reply to certain interro gatories of that body, as to his opinions in refer ence to the acquisition of slave territory. We think the Northern thderalists, who are indorsing Mr. Lthderwood's political orthodoxy, should at least publish his slavery potions. Ile says : lfv answer to your fifth,and last inquiry is that I shall oppose any proposition having for its olject:to pledge the United States that slavery shall not exist in any territory acquired from the government of Mexico, either by conquest or trea ty. iNly opinion on this point has been heretofore expressed in a case which I regard • as analogous in principle. I was a member of-the Legislature when resolutions were introduced (I :think by Col. -IL M. Johnson,.but have not examined the jour. nal) expressing the sentiment Of Kentucky in re lation to the' restriction which members of Con gress from the non-slave holding states cvere d - ntir ous of imposing on the stale of Missouri. I voted for the resolutions, and consequently manifested my hostility to the resolution. I hold that the per:lde of every state which may hereafter be admitted into our confederacy, should be untrammeled and free in forming the constitution under which they design to live; and that it is unjast if not a.tyrannical in fringement of their natural liberty for those living In other states to dictate for them." + Hear Judge Underwood again: .-When my country is involved in e. war, wheth er it be done in accordance with or inopposition to my opinions, believe it my duty as a -citizen to stand up for my country, and help her through the strug g le, In response , therefore , to your fourth -inquiry, 1 state, if elected, I shall 'vote for all such supplies of men and money as may be necessary to prosecute the war, with a view Eto obtain in deinnitY' for the past and security for the future.' I am also willing to apply the additional stimulus of increased pay to the soldier."

IVAIIE.—The Home of Rep, sentatives in Delaware, says the Pennsylvanian, have passed a bill abolishing slavery in that State. The number of slaves in Dela Ware is compara• lively small; but, it is highly creditable to the people of that State that even the remains of ser vitude are about to be extirpated by law.

THE Hum FA MINE-0 - CONNELS PLAN The folliming is the conclusion of a speech by the Irish Liherator, delivered recently in Concil iation Hall: My plan is, that England should immediately borrow 40 millions—that she Might ransack the world for food. It will be an increase of 40 mil lions to the national debt—to be sure it will—but it will be 40 millions to purchase the lives of the Irish people, I have been sneered at by some, and laughed at by others. I have always answered. What will you propose-,what remedy have your . "Oh, we will allow merChanlts to bring corn into the country." See the price - you now pay for corn, compared:.with the pikes at which it is pur chlised in the original market. There is no chance of salvation (or the country, unless the landlOrds come forward manfully, and boldly insist upori the English Government providing feud for the people. Talk of drainage! why drainage is very good, as regards next year, or the yeair at'ter•, and as to the cultivation of the waste lands, those lands would produce no crop for two years at least.— Now what sort of a remedy is that? It reminds me of a phrase—" Live Imrse,. and you will get grass." They say to the people of Ireland, "live for two years upon theair, and at they end of th a t ti me you will get potatoes." Ohl itiis melancholy to think of—it is really ludicrouS. In Cork—the county which I represent—they are dying by fif ties—coroner's inquests are no linger held, and so numerous are the deaths that a Sufficiency of cof fins cannot be had. Most affecOngiSistances are related of the kindness and deveitiolOaf the peas antry in those unhappy districts: One mao went seven or eight miles to get world44ldidn't taste a morsel for forty eight hours, so that he might be able to purchase a couple of stone of Meal for his family—he carried the prov:Sions till he reach ed his own door, when he dropped dead of hunger! And when such things occur, and are becoming .familiar, am I to be talked to abbot political econ omy, and told not to interfere; with mercantile speculation? I say to the English Government—, interfere for human life!--,save ihuman beings—. give food to starving thousands throw the shield of your power and wealth—yomare powerful and wealthy—over the people of Ireland. They have suffered much froth your tyranny and oppression—you have violated every compact you entered into with them—you have emptied their coffers, and now they cry you—slaout to you —sh: ;el: to yon to do something to save them from death; and if you don't dolsomething, your, own destruction may not be remote. They have, been in your battles the.right attic) of your power' -your flag never yet waved in .triumph that the' commingled blood of Irishmen was not shed for its attainment. Never was there contest by sea in Which your decks were not wet with their blood; anih-irr-the hour of their calamity-, I call upon the People of England—l call upon the Government of England—to save the country. I call upon the Irish gentry first to rally and make a demand—a loud and distinct demand--not ;a demand triick ling for petty relief, but a demand. commensurate with the magnitude of ;the etilto rescue the coutry from destruction. I call upon the Irish gentry to speak out in a voice of, thunder—l call upon England not to dare to refuse to listen to their demand.

Mr. p.wart and other members were -in favor of an amendment ; making the suspension permanent, but the'proposition met with little support. • On Frlday r the House of Commons met for the Orpose of passing through their remaining stages the suspension of the corn and the navigatitin laws.

On Monday, Januevy With, Lord John Russell brought forward his great - scheme for the tempo rary relief and the permanent improvement of Ire, land. Money is to be advanced for aced for the next crops. Loans will be made to such of the Irish landlords as wish to improve their waste lands; or the lands will be bought by government at a fixed price. The question universally aslred, is, haw timcb will these Irish measures cost? The temporary' outlay, it appears, will be at least seven millions only ; the ultimate drain will probably reach two or three times that amount. On Tuesday the royal assent was given to the corn and navigation bills. In reply to a question respecting letters of marque, under the American flag, Lord Palmer ston stated, on the authority of the Mexican charge d'affaires, that no person in England had been -au thorized to issue such letters. Foreign subjects abroad, the noble lord added, were not amenable -to be treated as pirates for being engaged in such an enterprise. FnAncr..—The French government has notified its subjects in Mexico that they must not enter up• on an enterprise of privateerin against the 'Uni ted States. Steps have been taken to prevent any such movement. The Chambers hare passed a law reducing the duties on imported grain to the lowest rates until ;September next. The langtiage of the Chambers on the subject of the destruction of Cracow is most indignant, and declares that if one party frees itself from the ob ligation of a contract, all are free. Meruarkete Prophecy of Mr. CobLett I:catpecting - Ireland and the failure of the Potato "My Dear Sirs—Last evening I met at din ner, a Roman Catholic priest, a Doctor Smith, from Connemara county, Galway, who related the following• comersation he had with that ex traordinary. man, Cobbett, in 1826. While speaking of Irelend, CAtbett said that the dirty weed, alluding to the potato, would be the curse of Ireland. • How so?' replied Dr. Smith: What must the people do without it) They live upon it. They - have had it in cultivation ISQ years.: Cobbett ,artswerethey must go back to the same,fOod they were accustomed to five upon previously to.tbe genets!, cultivation of the, dirty weed ; ang that is, to . , grain, as wheel. oats. rye, &c.

We have given above. very briefly, the sub stanee of all that Was done. The, result of this meeting is important. Perpetual Motion Disrovered.—Dr. Murry, of Hull, in a letter to the Mining Journa/, gives an account of an electric telegraph, invented by Bain, of Edinburgh, and used in the Glasgow arid Edinburgh Railway. which is worked by only one line, with remarkable simplicity in its signals and its manipulation. Mi. Bain's Electric ,Clock, however, (he adds) is the great. source of attrac tion._;. Nothing can, be more satisfactory or corn plete—allowing for wear and tear of materials from friction and the oxiding influence of the at mosphere, perpetum mobile is here certainty real ized. As long as the electricity of earth continues -or in other words, as long as the laOs of nature lasf, E 0 long will Mr. Bain's clock continue its os cillations, and register the transit of .time, and I frankly confess that there is: nothing ; Were my menus adequate,,l should so Much covet as these —1 had almost said sublimely:beautiful electrical clocks which reflect so much credit on-the ingeni ous inventor. •It requires no prophet to foretell their 'entire unlimited adoption for public clocks; and bow singular and interesting the reflection, that by means of wires connecting the various public clocks of the metropolis with the main one ; the same duplicate sound (for a dOuble oscil latinn is registered) shall be simultaneously an nounced, however distant, or the index in the va rious rooms of a large house beat with the parent one'. Verily, we live in an age of wonder! This wonderful earth—the pendulum conducts, ar.d,is the treasury of that power; and two simple wheels and their attachments, with the- dead escapement complete the magic machine.--Ximic of the Ale. chanque Cr/rste. LE.A'_KINGTON Cr The above article we clipped-from an ex. change paper yesterday morning, for the purpose of letting our renders * know: that another useful op plication of electricity had been discovered. In the afternoon we were incited to call at Mr. Smitifs'Music store and witness the mysterious workings of a little machine, the invention of Arr. John IL Lillie, of Allegheny city, called the, "Electra-Magnetic-Engine," We cannot giro an adequate deseription of the principle upon 'which it works, but it is 'sufficient to Say that the power is Electricity. This Eno ae ." is small--capa ble of lifting four pounds, In a - few weeks, Mr. Lillie, the ingenious ',inventor, tiiir have finished another machine, upon a larger scale, which he intends to apbly to some useful purpose—it will possess 'power sufficient_for an 'ordinary lathe. . , IL has many a time been predicted, by scientific mien that electricity would slime .day-supertede' steam, and all other sources of - Motive power. It seems from the facts above stated. that we are close upon, the realization of this "dream of a dis eased brain.", We shall watch Mr. 's progrss with much interest. We do not doubt his succeasin acconi. p: f ib ic . hing all he proznise.;, and he appeara enthusi• a (*". The Magnetic Telegraph is one of the great est "Lions " which Pittsburgh possesies; and won. derful is the admiration which it excites among our country friends. We saw a Mari the other day who had just arrived from the "classic shades" of Butler county. He had never, it appeared, , heard of the Tele graph; and, his Mental vision besides, was rather obscured by a few draughts of the " barley bree." He vas coming down Fourth street, When ,his at tention Was attracted by the wires. Seeing it en. ter Breedl building, he i halted, and began specula ting on its use. Thought could' not fathom the mystery, and so he inquired from a bystander what it was for. "Why," said he, "don't you know that it is the new patent mail between this city and Philadelphia, which carries the news in half an hOur "No I" says the Butler man. "Yes it does." "It's an impossibility." "I' tell you that it's a fact.' "Stranger, you must think tits monstrous green." The Pittsburgher, beginning to get angry, told him that he believed he was. 51 05,939 ; 105 417;467 ' 1,571,681 2,608,117 103,483 173,177 21,010,336 100,000 $131,093,0.16 " tell you what, if you say so you tell a-lie," cried the excited Butlerite. 0 I ,do say. so. I" "You're a liar!" ' "You're another!" And at it they went, but they were soon separated. The man, determined to know the truth-. went info a lawyer's office, (what a place to obtaiii it,) and said: . " Here's a feller out here, who wants to stuff me with a story about thitnaila coining here from Philadelphia, on them wires, in half an hour. Is,n't that the: richest. thing you've heard for a month? • But I say 'Squire, *hat- is them there wires for, anyhow ?" "Why; my friend," said the lawyer, he told you the truth.

" N 0,3 assure you that I speA the truth." " Then I'll be if that's. true, if I believe there's a God.
