We have since learned from another delegate that there was four feet, too high to admit of a passage un der the Aqueduct, and was fast rising. The necessity of a Railroad along the AUeghev ny Valley is to be seen in the fact which has pre vented the attendance of our city delegates at the Convention; and is further shown by the addi tional fact that such ij the utter want of adequate means of communication, from Pittsburgh with the adjacent country, that our delegates, thus stop ped in their progress, could find no public means of return; and fourof them, Geu. Lrauran, Capt. Ninos, and Messrs. Wit mum and Butikt, were compelled to hire a skis' at Freeport, and thua in an open boat, in the most inclement sea* son, at great hazard, resort to the river as the only means left them, of a return to their homes. These gentlemen returned on Saturday afternoon, to. Pittsburgh, in a skiff from Freeport, which place they left to the morning—adistanceof twen ty-eight or thirty mites. It will not do longer for us to neglect this great Allegheny region of our country . And' we trust that if farther legislation than is already in exis tence, be necessary foi: organizing a commence ment of the projected Railroad, the present session of our Legislature will not be permitted to close without supplying us with it.

Seven Democrats and two Free Sellers voted m the negative—the balance were all Whigs. 'This is a very important provision.

There was no opposition to it today, the ener gies of those opposed to it seeming to have been exhausted by the fright on Monday afternoon Whether it was because they felt that they had the wrong side of the question, or whether they cohduded that ft was useless to attempt to defeat its passage,! cannot say; to do them justice, they yielded handsomely. : What-fate awaits them in the Senate remains to be seen. Our talented young friend Buckalew has the matter in hand, and no little anxiety, is felt to hear how he will manage. If he brings to his aid here the same ability and energy which have always characterized him in other directions, there can scarcely be a doubt of his success. Mr. Buckalew, though a young and unassuming man, is nevertheless destined to take a high posi tion in the Senate. His modesty may for a while prevent his striking qualities from being appreci ated properly; but his abilities are of such an or der that be cannot fail to win his way to esteem and distinction. A. statement of the expenses of constructing the " board walk” to the Capitol, together with the cost ot introducing the gas into the public buildings, was to-day submitted to the House by the Auditor General. A report was a|so made by the President of the Board of Commissioners ap pointed to superintend the erection of. the Penn sylvania State Lunatic Asylum, at this place. I could not get a copy in time to day, but will send it to-morrow.. A bill passed the House today establishing in the counties of Cheater and Tioga a Board of Li censers, whose duties and powers will be the same as those heretofore exercised by the Court of Quarter Sessions in regard to the licensing of taverns, nte and beer houses. It is a pity that a similar Board were not established in every county of the State, as the license system as it now ex ists is subject to great abuse. The Gas Committee made u report to-day tbro’ their chairman, Mr. Roberta,: which proved the gratifying fact that gas lights are cheaper than caudles. This will ba bad news to the doorkeepers and others, one of whose principal perquisites was the eandlt ends. In the Senate, the bill repealing the act exempt- mg certain property from taxation, alter some discussion, passed through the committee of the whole. Also a bill limiting the time for bringing second action for ejectments to five years. A bill was passed appropriating 8500 to an old lady whose husband was killed by falling through a public-bridge in Northumberland. If all who are injured on the public works are to have an appro priation of this kind, the Commonwealth had bet ter resolve itself into a Life Insurance Company The precedent of paying for such accidents has now been established, and we ahull have more applications before a great while. SPRIG NUMBER XXX HABBiaonne, Feb 20 No business of any special importance was transacted in either House to-day Id the Senate the bill appropriating $5OO to Mrs Jones as a compensation for the death of her husband, by a fall through one of the public bridges, passed a third reading. Some discnssionwas also bad upon a bill which contemplates the taxing of freight and passengers over the York and Cumberland road This is an important bill, as upon its passage will depend whether a large amount of revenue now realized by the State shall be lost or retained. If a tax is not levied, the difference in the distance between Harrisburg and Baltimore, and Harrisburg and Philadelphia, will give a large amount of Phila delphia trade to Baltimore, and take a very large amount of tonnage from passing over the State road to Philadelphia. The charter of the com pany provides for the payment of a tax of twen ty-five cents on every ton of freight, and 13 cents on every passenger transported over the entire length of the road This is the substance of the bill, which it is proposed to amend by permitting all articles, of Pennsylvania produce,such as coal, iron, lumber, gram, &c-, to pass free of toll, and ten cents out y to be charged upon passengers. It is very mam. fest that the amendment is equivalent to nothing, so far as the interests, of the State -are concerned; for if all articles, the produce of this State, be ex empt from toll, there will be little or no revenue from tonnage,'as the principal portion of the ton nage will be those articles askod tp be exempted from toll. Justice to the public improvements of the State, as well ns a proper regard for the inter, eats of the metropolis, should induce the Legisla ture to levy.a tax sufficient to place both parties on the same footing.

That the Poor House carnos with its name something so bumihiting and degrading, that the poor have preferred to sutler, In their destitution, rather than resort to a boose so obnoxious to their feelings; it ti regarded as a forced association of those who havo been taught to resppet tho decen cies of life, with the loathsome victims of vico and sensuality. j 3d. That o Poor House establishment, in the pur chase of land, erection of building, furmlurb and fixtures, salaries, Btc, &c , would render a large inv create of taxation indispcnsibto, and largely Add to tho already oppressive county debt, which {{fleets our estatcß virtually as a'bond and mortgage, in (Us* guise. Tho Poor House establishment of the county of Washington has been referred to, by its advocates, as evidence of tho economy or that system, and as a precedent and pattern for Allegheny county*— The county of Washington owns one of tho most valuable farms.tn Pennsylvania, with extensive ap propriate buil^logs; yet, from ibo official reports of Auditors, it will be scon, that for the year 1850/tho establishment has used up four thousand dollars,, derived from taxation, and now aro to debt upwards of ono thousand dollars, which must bo provided for by taxation. _ *: 4th.

Tbs following interesting Report of the Com* mtssioners appointed under the Act-providing for the erection of-Uig State Lunatic- Hospital, has been -forwarded to us in manuscript, from Harris* burg, by our able and attentive correspondent: To Jhe Senate artdfJSdtae of; RqSramiatites of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; - The Commissioners appointed by an,Act of Assembly passed April 14, 1845, and the supple* merit thereto, passed April 11,1848, for the erec* tion of the Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital, respectfully iieport— f Thai they have nearly completed the object of their appointment, For detailed account of their expenditures of money, they respectfully refer to their reports annoally made to the Accounting officers of the State, in'obedience to the require* merits of the law. j The liberality of the citizens of Dauphin county enabled your Commissioners to purchase an eligi ble farm, containing about-170 acres, one and a half miles north of Harrisburg. A contract was entered into: with Mr. John Haviland for the erec* tion of the Hospital; according to a plan famished, for the sum of 8100,000, to be completed by the Ist January, 1801. By delays almost necessarily incident to the erection of very'large buildings, it was not finished by the time specified; but it is: ! expected to be ready for patients early in the en* suing summer. It is calculated for the accommo* dation of over 250 patients, with Superintendent Steward, and all other necessary attendants. • If there bed been no other necessary expenses than the mite erection of the building, the appropria* tion ot $lOO,OOO would have been, amply suffi cient; but after 'the purchase of the farm, and prior to the contract with Mr. Haviland, the Com missioners employed a Superintendent for the erection of the building, as originally intended, made surveys, and prepared the ground for its erection. Subsequent to the contract it was deemed advisable os a measure of economy, while . the house was in .process of erection, to provide for the introduction throughout the entire building of gas pipes, for the purpose of lighting. These expenses were of course not included in the con* tract for building/ . The law provides that the Commissioners shall receive “no compensation” other than their “ne cessary expenses,” but makes no specific appro* priation for the payment of these. The State Treasurer, therefore,declines any further payment of such expenses—consequently .they have been paid out of the $lOO,OOO appropriated for the erection of the Hospital. ' "The different items of expense referred to amount in the aggregate to $2410 60. " Under .the provisions of the 17th sect, of the law, there have been paid into the State Treasury $960 60 to aid in the erection of the Hospital.— This, with the appropriation made by the legis lature, made $100,980 60 placed at the disposal of the Commissioners. From this snm deduct $2410 '6O, necessarily expended for i purposes above sta ted, and there will remain $98,55002, making a deficit of $1449 98 to be provided by the Legisla ture, to enable the Commissioners to ful6ll their obligation to Mr. Haviland. V . . It will also. be necessary during the coming season to provide suitable out-buildings, such ns stables, carriage-house, smoke-house, laundry, &c., also for expenses in laying, out and opening a State Road authorized. by the last legislature. Farnitore for the Hospital, farming utensils,stock &C., most also be provided. There will also be some additional expense for lighting by Gas, such as brackets, chandeliers, &c., for furnishing Gas either by contract with the Harrisburg Gas Co., or for putting up a building for the manufacture thereof on the premises. : As: the necessary outlays at the Hospital will fora few years exceed its receipts, provision will have to be made for the payment of officers, salar ies and supplies of Hospital. • f it is tbe opinion of those most conversant with the management. of Hospitals for the insane, that there should immediately be built two addi tions to the preseht bouse, called Lodges, one for males and the other for females, to accommodate that class of patients who are violent and require to be more closely confined.; The expense of such buildings it is estimated, would, be about $15,000. : The commissioners respectfully submit tbe following estimates, for which an appropriation will be necessary to prepare the Hospital for occupancy! To meet deficiency in appropriation with future expense, of commission....... 2-,700; To furnishing Hospital building. 12,000 Lodges proposed to ie built.... . 15,000, Farming-utensils, etptkj &c ! 2,0Q0 direction Ofout-btiildlng«.. . 4,000 tlai fixtures and incidental expenses;... c 1,400 Amount necessary to complete .Hospital ■ $37j40Cl 1 To.whicli should be added salaries of officers, S3OOO, and supplies lor Hospital, §lO,OOO. Some provision ought also to be made for the necessary expanses of the Trustees of the Hospital newly appointed. _ The , whole, expense of completing and furnish' ing ‘the,Hospital, erecting outbuildings,supplying the farm with stock and utensils, and.[wilding the proposed, lodges, will famonnt to something; over $137,000, which is a sum rouch less than the Cost of similar, institutionsrin the United ’States. : ; LUTHER REILET, Pres, of Com.
