The damage done was. inconsiderable—a few barrels of herrings, and the inside-skin of the vessel, were scorched, and some damage done by the water, botoot fo any amount.

Hitherto, in times of general trouble and depression of business, the people have been tic customed to tern to their State Legislature forre:- lief and assistance. At present it is totally dif., ferent—they now look upon that body - as their worst and most dangerous enemy—and as the only limns of safety left_them, are pouring in pe 'titions requesting them to adjourn.

We again say, that the safest and most beneficial measure this body can how act upon, is theition for adjournment: THE Basic , BlLL.—This Bill, reported by the committee of conference, which passed the Senate on Monday. by a wife, of 21 to 11, has since passed the House on the final reading by a vots 066 to 19, and only wants the Governor's signature to be come a law. , The universal opinion is that it will meet his sanction and be signed by him. The following is a short synopsis of the bill, for which we are indebted to the Harrisburg Chronicle. Section 1. Provides for immediate. resumPtion. Sec. 2. Provides the mode of proceeding in winding up their affairs. Sec. j. 'Authorizes the directors to choose as- signeell See. 4..

Strong, Esq., devoted to the business interests Of the people of the State. We are personally ecqusinted with Mr. Strong, and knc; him to be in every respect qualified for the management of such a paper, Some of the articles published in the first num. bar, ought to be read attentively by every Penn. sylvanian. In -estimating the cost of transporta tion of Coal from the different legions, Mr, Strong has btiseil his calculations upon former years; we can assure him however, that Coal will be deliv ered in Philadelphia from this region the present year one dollar per tite lower than the 'price nam ed in his estimate. The Rochester. Evening P.ut states that there was &tremendous excitement at Lockport, N.

The matter is now undergoing an investigation.

The remark is undoubtedly true: and why is it sol It arise' fret:robe curions poSition in which mem bers find themseivesPlaced. i , Let us look at the eulject fora moment. In the first place, there are the Whigs proper in,the florst.; who go forrheas toes. ti,ut not for mut. They have been thwarted in their views; ac they believe, by the President, who differs in hitt notions of duty and of certain measures, from them. Of course they feel no re sponsibility for, and take little interest in, any thing he may recommend or do. This, of course, din arms, in some degree, their opponents, who know not whom to strike, even, were they disposed to be pognacious.=-M the vane time; the Locofecos, being rather disposed to-conciliate the President. with the view 'of saving their , friends in office or widetung thabreach between die Whigs and him self, nr both, exercise fOrbearance towards idol. The Whigs, having, as they believe, two antago nists to contend with, find their warmth of feelink egainat their ancient foes somewhat moderated by that which is excited by a sense of injury and wane of good faith, (I am speaking of what they think,). EIZI in one to whom they had confided posver—aa. quo flame kindled by the side of another, serves to ex tinguish it. Thus. yon see, passion and asperi ties are quelled and neutralized by similes passions, and by peculiar circumstances. Lmight 'add other reasons, too, for the present subdued state of feeling in Congress. As things. now stand, few men know with whom they may be associated politically. in the course of the next four or five years. There is now no Jscitsosr. to hold the reins of the party, which, tbder his quid ance, and driven by his whip and spur, went rough shod over the country, trampling down whoever and whatever Stood in his way or dared to oppose his passage. The harness which kept the lead ers in the traces of that party are broken, and the Ons are no longer obeyed. They, have no driver ,no commander. But numerous aspirants to the scejitrof the party are in the field, each one de terminepuSlticiiis fortune end rally all the strength herCitn,l‘r the battle. Col. Johnson has taken the field w*a fall dez,rminetion on his part,—and in this ht numerousand staunch friends will sustain him,z-oxeither to be coaxed nor frightened ofl: Nolen volens, orswim, live or die, survive or perish," he runs for the Presidency; and the Western Locos will rally aroud him like a host : so with the real, genuine, original, Simon Pure Locofocos of New York. He is far from. being an object of scorn or derision to any Gulag onist in his party. Then again, Mr. Benton has been brought for ward-by Missouri. and be has no idea of giving up the contest without a fair trial. His chance is now or never, for the Chief Magistracy. The great Missourian is no tame and complying ox, to be yoked or slaughtered. as it shall suit the purposes of those who would be glad to make him draw their load, or feed !brie forces. He has pulled in the yoke long and faithfully ; and thinks he has how a right to be stalled, or installed. If he is not, be works no more. But where is the little Fox, the while Ah ! halt I-yonder En is, away at the south, on the out skirts of the field, appearing to take na interest in what is going on, yet occasionally casting sly and furtive glances over every part of it, allowing noth ing to escape his keen but apparently demure ob. eereatien- see him new, in easy , conversation will' sundry animals who have been invited by a noble old charger to meet his little pet and guest. Take care, there's mischief afoot for some of you; —the Fox never goes from home, or pays a 1 visit en famine, toe noble beast, in a retired and shady corner, for nothing. Then here comes. !rpm Pennsylvania, a bage, 'bioad shouldered, Conestoga team horse. Is he to be made light oft - His motions ore slow, and, by no means, graceful; but his step is firm, his tread heavy, his strength great. He knows little about manceuv . ming , but for a solid pull, afrisighf ahead, he inn acarcely tie matched. Let him:have fair play and be will ask no odds. But he likes not the looks of the field:--he likes not to see bis kinsman, the old charger, receiving the' friendly vipne, and listening to the smooth flattery of the little Fox nor does he like to see his road Mock ed up by those he cannot drive or,pursoade nut of his way. He Is puzzled and fretted, and though the noblest of them all, ten to one they out manceu war him. To -drop parables ,and metaphors, our okements•are far from being harmonious: and it is extremely doubtful whether they will not have two or three candidates for the Presidenerin'the field. In the meantime , many of the party are be criming extremely friendly with Mr. Clay, who, as rumor says, received letters lately from many of their distinguished men, expressing the greatest respect and regard for him.

Ica.—The following from the Boston Mail, shows the folly and emptiness of all human an ticipations. Our old moralists, instead of calling fortune a bubble, should have likened it to an ice pond in spring : • I. consequence of the scarcity of ice the present season, several live Yan kees in this neighborhood have been running ; quite a rig of speculation by purchasing up Such as they Could find on,the ponds in the country round. One of them found a fine lot about five' inches thick On a pond in the woods of Malden, and forthwith ofTered the proprietor fifty dollars for the privilege of cutting it out. It is hardly ne cessary to say that the offer was accepted,land the money 'pkid over. The night following the pur chase Came up with a warm Cain. and: when the purchaser came on the next day to cut up the ice, he found it did not ""cut op" . as well as ho had an ticipated. Instead of the five Inches 'Apure white chrystalization•which he had purchased, he found only about two inches of ice left, and that was fast oslipping away." The ice speculator mizzled home, declaring that when he purchased another pond of ice he Would get it insured. Thus melt ed away , hie visions of Wealth."
