Nothing was done that is worth recording, unless it be the defeat of Witt. R Dickerson, who again made application for the use of the Hall for the purpoßer of presenting hii disgusting details of the corruptions of the “ State House Row,” is Philadelphia. Hts application was sustained by Dr Brown, and Mr. Fiffe.of your county, and opposed- by Messrs. Scofield, Kunkel, and. others. Mr.-Scofield took-thegen- tleman m hand,- and’ gave him tha completes! dressing he- perhaps ever received. sarcasm was keenand withering, and drew the attention of Ibe House to the “ Great Expositor of Corruption,” in such a manner that poor Dickerson would have given-half he was worth, ($50,000, according to his own statements,) to have been.out-of sight and. hearing After several . inefleclual attempts to amend the resolution by inserting the names of “George Munday,” “ Joe Barker,’’and others, in the place of Dickerson, tlie'whole. was indefinitely postponed, and Mr Dickerson, “brim full of wrath and cabbage,”-left Harrisburg in-.tbe fiist tram, swearing vengeance against the Legislature of Pennsylvania in general, and the membera from Philadelphia city and county in particular. He promised to be back again as soon as be could ob tain some evidence against them, and then I pre sume we shall have more of his hypocritical pro* fessions or regard for honesty—the suffering peo ple, &c If the abuses really exist they Bhould certainly be corrected; but there is good reason for doubting, so long as no other than Mr. Dick enson takes up the cndgel against them Mr Penniman moved to resume the considers- ion of the question of privilege which was raised on Thursday last, in relation to the reception ot the report of the select coranflttee to wmen was referred a bill entitled “ An act to incorporate the City Of Philadelphia with enlarged boundaries.” I believe I stated in a former letter that the recep tion of the report was objected to on the ground of its having been amended by a majority of the committee, when there was no regular session, without consulting the whole of the members.— When objection was made, Mr. Penmman desired to withdraw the request to have the report re« ceived, which was objected to by Messrs, Hart and O’Neill, when Mr. Bowen moved to amend by striking ont the words “ ns amended,” and insert, ing “ as committed.” On this amendment the-vote was taken, and.it was lost; when the mam ques tion, “Shall the report be received?” was pnt, the yeas and nays called, and it carried, by a vote of 02 to 33. Although this amending of bills outside ofcom mittee sessions is not unusual here, it is certainly unwise legislation, and should be discountenanced. Had Messrs. Hart and O’Neill permitted Mr. Pen. niman to withdraw the request to have the report received, all would have been right, and at the proper time and:place it would- have been offered. But they would neither consent to the withdraws] or reception of it, and the consequence was, that a large majority voted for if, and the dispute ended. ■Mr. Gossen offered a resolution that Monday j afternoon be set apart for the discussion of the!

Held bad, on general demurrer. Actioh oir-TBE Case pob Neolioebce. The first count of the declaration charges that the plaintiff, being employed in the defendant’s Cotton Factory, was set to work at certain cards, •that the Batd cards were dangerous in their con struction, and that in cohsequence of their negli gent and unskillful arrangement and construction, the plaintiff was injured, and lost the use of Ins right hand and arm.

Lowbie, J —The second count is fully answer ed by the decisions referred lo by the defendant’s counsel, and by the case of Wmterbottom versus Wright, 10 Mees. & W. 109, declaring that where several persona are employed to attend to the same general service, and one of them is injured from the carelessness of another, the employer is not liable. ; . Ia the first count, the expression “in conse quence ol their negligent and unskillful arrange ment and construction, ’ may be eliminated; for, in itself, it can be regarded only as an accommo- dation of the words of the declaration to the for» tnal demands of the action for negligence. Until within a very few years, the averment of negli gence was as fully stated In a declaration m as sumpsit as it is here, and it is not yet entirely out of use. It is presumed that no special negligence is intended, when it is staled in this general form, if the accident arose from negligence by which the cards became displaced or deranged, or in some i part broken while the plaintiff was using them, > and thereby bo was injured, he should have stated I the fact, and not having done so, we must presume that there was no negligence, except that which I is implied in order to satisfy the formal demands I of the suit. This averment being excluded in the consider ation of the merits of this case, the result is a. charge which needs no denial:: for it raises only this question— Where a- person undertakes to work, by means of machinery that is dangerous in its operation, and receives an injury from it, m its ordinary operation, is the employer liable?— The answer is plain—He is not. But as the question involved an this cause seems to have never been decided by our courts, it will not be out of place to refer to the reasons and principles upon which the solution of the question depends. It bus been satd that the liability of the em ployer can arise only in cases of breach of con tract, or not of a public duty. But this proposi tion does not fully present the difficulty ot'this i case: for wherever the law imposes a private duty ; (mm one man to another it implies a contract to perform that duty, and the question still remains— Does not the law impose on the employer the duty to have his machinery constructed in such a man ner that it will operate with reasonable safety to the persons working at it? This, it must be observed, is a question of legal, not of moral duty. The moral duty, which every man owes to those in his employment to consult their safety, will not be disputed. This is a duty prompted by the ordinary feelings of human char ity, and may be of no more perfect obligation than the duty which one owes to another to warn him of approaching danger—a duty enforced by no ; sanctions but those of the moral law. It will not be pretended, if the defendant had warned the plaintiff that the machinery was dan gerous, and then the plainliff had agreed to risk it, that in such case the defendant would be liable (or the unfortunate result of the experiment. But the law very properly presumes that every man who undertakes a business understands the char acter of the business and of the tools and machin ery with which it is to be done; and on tins ac count it ts a fair presumption that he undertakes the risk for what'he considers a sufficient compen sation If he ignorantly and presumptuously un dertakes the work, it is not wrong that lie should himself bear the natural consequences, lithe machinery is dangerous in.-itß character, or by reason of its want of repair, a proper workman is presumed to know it at least as well ns tus em ployer, and has a right to decline the work, and if he does not, he takes the risk. It is not necessary to say how the law would be, where one is indu i ced by false representations to work with unsafe i machinery. If the duty claimed to exist here is founded on any other principle than kindness, it must be a principle involving the legal duty of protection.— But where the law imposes this duty, it- requires I the correlative duty of subjection, a relation which I would be repudiated.with scorn in the present in- I stance. I There is one illustrious instance wherein the I law protects the weak and ignorant from the exac- I tions of ihe more powerful and even from his own I ignorance, and this is by the laws forbidding all | worldly employment on the Lord’s day. Looking I at this in a merely legal point of view, (and here I we can no otherwise view it,) it is easy to 6ee I that thousands of people, even in a Christian land, I would have no day of physical rest were it not for I these lans. But this protection is afforded by the I lawj not required of the employers. | There is another large class of cases wherein ) the law affords its protection to persons who are I indiscreetly seduced-into engagements by those I wha stand in n relation towards them; by which an undue influence may be exercised. But the re lation of employer and employee has never been J supposed to be’of this character. There ieno relation 1 ofeonfidehee or dependence between them. Both are I equat before the law, and considered equally compe tentto take care of themselves. No protection m le- I gaily due by one, nor subjection by.the other, and | of course no action lies for..failure of protection. I As a general rule, the; law leaves all men free to I make their own bargains, and decides between T them according to thejr contracts, without dimin- I ishing the freedom of either in order to protect I him against the other. I I • Suppose there was actual carelessness, on the ; I ‘part of the manager in the arrangement of ;the J’cards, so that.their operation was defective. This • | is only another way of saying ; that the, plaintiff ’+■ was set to work- with, imperfect instruments. If OF Ar.LEQRENT' COOKT7* : ?'Vv-'.v' "V; - ■ •-> -%'j ■* - s ~ he had been set to cut wood with the defendants! axe, and it had become detached Irom the handle, 1 1 suppose it would not have been cUnp*d..tha.t the l defendant was liable for an injury thus occasioned :to the- plaintiff. Yet Ido not perceive the differ* ence between that case and this* for if the ma* chinery, tn this instance, is more complicated, the | person using ilia presumed to have more skill and | care. Even the manager.himself is (as far as, concerns the plaintiff,) but one of the instruments , by which- the defendant carries on his business , an instrument just as likely to be defective as any of the unintelligent instruments .by -.which tue basiness is effected, and the persons employed are all 'subject to the risk of his occasional negir gence and nnsktllfulness, and cannot transfer the risk to. the employer. Judgment for the defendant. ANDREW SIUS.

Now I beg leavo, through your | pßper, to state that ho such petitions have beeDi . either signed or circulated by tho friends of Sims. i lam the father of that unfortunate boy, and, of course, know what his friends would be doing. I do noC behove that a single petition h as been signed, either here or elsewhere in his behalf. Can yon re r er t“ any man that has Been sue** peut«on * I consider it due to the public and to myself that this statement should be made Wilmau Sims. Letter of General Hsatton. General Houston has recently addressed n letter I to a friend, which has been made public : I « Mr. Houston thinks the anti slavery agitation in I the free States is in a great measure subsided. The I octiou of Vermont he believes look placo during the j extreme violence of tho fanatical fever, and believes I that she will hasten to repeal it. I « He objects to a southern convention for the rea*| son that it is totally unnecessary, and woold be pro* | ductive of much harm. Tho South needs no new I guaranty—ihe Constitution Is'araple enough for her! rights already, and cannot bo frittered away by spe- I cial pleading, nor overthrown by open force. | " Ho condemns tho l&to disunion movements in | South Carolina, and believes Virginia will spurn with distain her schemes to lead off in a sonlhern convention. Texaß, he says, will nevey desert the Union; she had too roach trouble .to enter it. “ In conclusion, he hopes if ever the cloud of die* j union should break, tho same shall be met, not by lhe*evBsivo hypocrisy of secession, or sectional can* venlions, bat in the bold and manly spirit that actu ated our fathers in the Revolution—that noble spirit which proclaims that the preservation of liberty will justify any measure necessary to lhal great <*nd.” Practice of the baw an to Contingent In the course of a debalo recently had in Congress on the deficiency bill, Mr. Walker said: There is| ono thing I do know, also as a professional man,.of the same profession with the qenalor from Missis* sippi, [Mr. Foote,] that it is regarded as an odious practice for any attorney or lawyer to engage in, to render his professional services to be paid out of the results. I say it is odious, and ought not4o bo car l * ried out. Mr. Foote. I know that tho old common law I docs not allow lawyers to have a fee of a character j absolutely contingent, and I bclicvp that the pnnci pies of sound practice are in conformity with the legal rule- I have not been in the habit of receiving I such fees myself; but I am not ashamed to confess. that 1 have sometimes, iq order to avoid tho opera tion of this rule—the influence of which,! doubt not, is in general more or iesa salutary—demanded a limited amount in advance, and risked the remainder of the sum agreed to be paid me for my services upon the rcsalt of the suit. 1 see nothing dishonor* able in this, or violative of professional usage. Scientific Discovert.—Dr. A. Henderson, :ofi Buffalo, by a sorieaof experiments and much inves tigation, has succeeded in discovering a method of plating and gilding metals, which is as noar per* faction in that branch of ecienco as can be. What the discovery is wo do not know, but we learn il has been patented. The tiaflulo Repubttc says toa! it only requires a few momonls to gild or plate any mctaf,and aoy thickness of coating can be applied at will. Il imparls to tho baser metal so genuine an appearance of gold and silver, that the most practi cal eye might readily be deceived. A cent dipped into the solution for q few seconds comes out as bright as a new dollar, and a half dime in as ohorva time, takes tho templing appearanco of a piece. ■ Watch cases can be gutlded, and spoous-and forks plated in a style hitherto unequalled; and the luxuries of silver forks and gold watches may be en joyed by those who have hitherto possessed them only in their dreams. The gilding will stand the test of aqua fortis, and will hold its color to tho last.
