Whether- the public at large, l or the proprietors of 1 the old stages, are to be paramount with the Timm Keepers on the route, is for theaselvai to decide. But we think wepistake the spirit of the good peo ple el Pottsville, /Philadelphia, and of the coal inter est generally, if they will allow their rights and priv ileges to be tarapeted with, and we recommend all travellers to keep an eye on thosi who strive to ex clude them from the conveniences pf the route, and not to patronize directly, or indirectly these who seek to place impediments in their way. There are houses on the route, which have heretofore been pas sed over by the old lines, but which have been the regular stopping places of the people's stages—let them be cautious how they insult their former pat rons—it will not be suffered with impunity, and all the machinations of disappointed monopolists will recoil upon themselves. Already has this infinnous course aroused the. spirit of our people, and we hail it as the surest presage of success for the new opposition line. 'Ncw Hid in Reading.—We are pleases.] to learn that Mr. Finney, well known at the Minaral Springs as an accomodating landlord and excellent caterer, is about to open a New Hotel in Reading, He has purchased an extensive corner property, recently oc cupied by J.

In the mean time the office of the new opposition liite has been opened in the house, and the way bill will be punctually attended to by Mr. Finney, un til such time, as the Hotel shall be entirely ready for public accomModatinn. Spring.—Whq does not feel the revivifying ef fects of this balmy daring tint° of year. " Old winter, like the Sailor King, William the Fourth, has deceased, full of days, and's:tot:ma, and tempests, and the virgin Spring, like _the little Victoria, ascends the throne, young, ardent, beautiful, blooming and beloved ! Her crown is the first-born violet of the season, twined with the tendrils of the her rep tre is a rose-bush, just budding into life—her robe, the grawinglien mantle of the fields. The little spring birds 'herald her ascent to the throne,. and at the sound all nature starts with joyful gladness! The mouhtain rill bursts at one bound its icy fetters, and shouts for liberty—then rushes to the vale be low to meet its summer friends, who bring chaplets or leaf and dower to greet its return, and strew its path with 'opening blossoms. The sky smiles in glad ness from its eyes of azure, as it dashes away the tears and sorrowings of winter—the sun beams fall softer and purer:rsa the earth—the twilight length ens, and seems to linger, loathe to leave the world— as lovers bid good night again and again, while each adieu affords fresh food for converse, and protracts the parting, which must come at last ! Every thing breathes of light and life and perfume —the hill, the• vallithe field, the grove:—sky and Itind--earth and water, are all sweeter and balmier. 'To flay a 'swelling bud greets the eye, to-morrow ari opening blossom, the next a tender leaflet, born of spring and sunabine, is cradled by the freszre, and next' 'the gorgeous flower, in all its beauty bursts into*istence, the type of female loveliness ! Go then Asong the fields—inhale the soft mor ning breezes, and enjoy the balmy coolness. of the twilight. Let the lilies of your winter revels be dis placed by the rosy hues of jocund health. Laugh, tun, le ip, and emulate all nature, while enjoying the season of flowers ; then will health and joy com mingle in your sports—pale disease will fly appal led—the step become more elastic—the eye rekindle with renovated vigor, while cheerfulness will join the train, and . Shake thousand odors from her dewy wings !' U. R. Bostk.---4trieho/as Bidd le, Esq. ham resign ed the Presidency of this institution, and Mr. Pum a Dunlap has been appointed to the office in his Lice. In refitrence to this iumouncement the N. Y.

The history of the United States during the last fif teen years cannot be faithfully written, without giv ing ti Mr. Biddle a piers in it, as honorable to him self as bii whole, life has been eminently useful to his country. Within tle last week we heard an eminent Broker of this city say—one who has ever been a friend and supporter of Gen. Jackson and an opponent of the U. B. Bank—that Mr. Riddle's course in regard to our great staple, Cottontduring the last eighteen months, had saved not less than twenty-five millions of dollars to the country ; and that this alone, had enabled the banks to resume specie -payments. What doe* !his mean P—The Police report of the Ledger, contained the following, last week :f “1 . 1. man. named James Robertson, and a woman, named Catharine Roswell, found in Water street, rather intoxicated. The man sent to Pottsville, the woman to Movamensing." Thank you Sir : we don't care about populating our Bomugh, after the fashion of Botany Bay, and our mines are tint to be the receptacle of convicts after the mode of some European states. Keep your "rather intoxicated" James Robertson; to your selvea. and put him to the profit and loss account of your Ledger.

Every ef fort was made by the wretches who were conconetl in the outrage to suppress testimony and toova:Tire the Jury. But the facto were tea clear. The Albany Evening Journal says, that a high Judicial officer was conspicuous among the actors of this outrage.

The Frontier.—The discontented of both coun tries are determined, if possible to have a fight be tween England and the United States. In the neigh borhood Of Champlain and Odletoirn N.

If they are not suppressed, we shall find the prediction of Paine verified, that England will go to war with the United States to get rid of Canada. The N. Y.
