Coal Coinpanies.—We are pleased to learn that
oor Senatoi, Charks Froiky, Esq., has reported a
Bill, suppl4mentary to the act to encourage the man
ufacture ofiron with coke or mineral coal. We are
indebted to; the Senates attention for a copy of the

heretofoie'expreased ohr views on the benefits of a

this bill may be passed. It has appeared the policy
of our Legislature for several years to grant charters
fur these. purposes, and we therefore are assured that
all dealers in coal will be best satisfied with this ar
rangement, as it places all on a fair level, and pre
vents' a fictitious valuation from being placed on
stock for purposes of speculation.
St. Patrick's Dayi—To-morrow•is the anniver
sary of the patron saint of Ireland. Few nations
have adheied with more unswerving tenacity to its
old and accustomed habits and religion. St. Pat
rick was sent by the Roman Bishop Celestine to
preach the gospel in Ireland, together with twenty
assistants eminent for their virtue and learnin; , .
History records that in no land did it make more
rapid progress, the people receiving it with a spirit
ual sort of violence. Five years after St. Patrick
had opened his mission, he Was summoned to assist
to Parliament of Month, and was appointed one . 01
she 161011 b committee of ninc, to wkiom was entrus
ted the reform of the ancient civil history of Ireland.
He flourished in the fifth century, and was contem
porary with St. Augustine and St. Ambrose.
Brand mentions that when Bt. Patrick landed
near Wicklow in 433 on his mission, the pagan in
habitants were ready to stone lure : he requested to
be heard, and endeavored to expliun God' to them, as
the Trinity in Union, but they could not understand
them, till plucking a shamrock or trefoil from the
ground he said, it not as possible for the Father,

a the t r=tic n a f -aver tlitilL
dent. The 'very first year after Maine entered the
Union, het land agent, under the diaktion of the
Governor, drover 4 'the Brithili tamperers off, with
whom he settled, they giving their notes for the tim
ber cut by than. These notes were afterwards sued
in the eras ofNeletiturtneick' , and ou.rerecasion
was the plea of weed of jurisdiction entered.
Another still more important fact is developed by
the research of a araspondentof the N. Ye (kneel&
He states that in a number of the Political Magazine
and Parlialnentary Amami, there is a map of Boun
daries, as fettled - by the Treaty of Peace, accu
rately laid down. The boundary line is there dis
tinctly laid down, and the Highlands of the St.
Lawrence are alone designated and the description
in words us, “the boundaries run kom the mouth of
the river St. Croix, in the Bay of 'Fundy, to the
mountains near the river Si. Lawrence, from thence'
the cross lines rim southwest, west, and northwest
along the above mentioned mountains, cross Lake
Champlain &c."
No other highlands' are marked out on this map,
than the St. Lawrence, and no pretence is made in
any of the debates in parliament, which this map is
intended to illustrate. The tone of these debates is
all against the cession of this terriray, and ocknedailie
5 9ern
of an impolitic boundary having made.
Under such circumstance": is evident that the
ground assumed by the British ovemment, is a new
one, not previously considered teneable, and indeed
never thought oL The utility of the Aroostook
lands fur making a continuous military road from
the Cabadas to the other British possessions, is the
true secret of the late demand; and it is known to
all, that hal the Provincial authorities been certain
on this fact, two years past, they would have trans
ported their troops to Quebec, by land, during the
period of the Canadian rebellion, and not 9arried
them around by the river St. Lawrence.
We feel however every confidence, that the good
sense of both nations will render an appeal to arms
unnecessary, and that the mooted question will be
amicably adjusted without the intervention of sgrim
visaged war."
Whig Cause in Virginia—The Richmond Whig,
generally a cool and calculating paper, and not led
astray by imaginary hopes, holds the following cheer
ing language, in reference to the political pulse of its
state.
'The signs" from the country are most propilioes
to the Whig cause, and no mistake. There may
be a pouihility the other way—of Loco Yoco suc
cess—but it is a BAHL POSSIBILITY. We speak
advisedly, when we proclaim the indications of W hig
triumph in the spring most flattering and decisive.
We do not limit the remark. We apply it to Con
gress—to the Senate—and to the House of Rele
gates. The Whigs will have oil."
77te Monstrous Banks again !—The Governor
ascribes the fact of the state loans not being taken, to
a combination among certain Banking institutions ;
he inveighs Strongly against all banks; says he is
now more assured than ever, that an entire severance
of all connection between the State and the banks
should take place, and advises the immediate pas
sage of a law authorizing the sale of the bank stock
held by the State.
Mr. T. S. Smith, has submitted a resolution call
ing upon the Governor to communicate to the HQUSe
the evidence upon which he says there has been a
combination on the part of the banks of the Com
monwealth, and moneyed men to injure the credit
of the State.
Consisieney.—The Senate voted unanimously to
extend the work on the Gettysburg Rail Road until
the first of May, but have sustained the Governor's
veto against it. Well—here we are ! what's to h e
done, the State owes the Contractors! and can't pay
them. Only one course remains, Gov. Porter must
learn the State how uto take the benefit!"
A into !—Bout houses of the Legislature passed
a resolution'to allow the contractors on the Gettys
burg Rail Road to continue their work until the first
of Mayiif they should not before that tithe be paid
off by the State. Gov. Porter has vetoed it because
Mr. Stevens livesin that neighborhood, we suppose.
An Explanalion.— ,, What do the papers mean
by saying that Congress adjourned pine die last week,
mamma !" said a little responsibility last week.—
"Why my dean.," yes, the reply,..they passed a law
against duelling, and no one can the in sin any

rarialetd.—We are pleased to state, on the au
thority of one of our phystcians,Mat this disease has

The Wash Language.—ln the city of New York,
there are three churches tin which the services are
conducted in Welsh. and a monthly magazine is al
so published in the same language.. By the way,
there has been a curious lecture delivered in that ci
ty by R. Bartlett, upon the discovery of this coun
try by the Welsh under Medoc; who has proved as
conclusively as possible, not only the actual discov
ery of the continent. but the existence of the descend
cuts of the voyagers in the country.
cf• The Herald and Sentinel lays, that "Swart
word is now used as a verb."
,Certainly : according to Murray, „Ara verb is a
word which signifies to be, to do, or to suffer." He
is found to be a defaulter, he knew how to do the
Treasury, and the country was compelled to suffer.
He has proved himself an active transitive verb, po
tential mood, imperfect tense, and governs the com
mon- noun sut -treasury —Rule.—active transitive
verbs govern the objective case.

stock, but don't take a loan from the U. 8. Bank at

irredeemable or not far 50 years. Pennaslsurtia
one year ago had her state stock 9.pmtent above pat,
