Tns AXTURACITS FlNtßiLit.-it will be seen hY reference to another portion of our paper that the Anthracite Furnance, situate in this borough, is -for sale or to let. From what we can learn; we are convinced that but a stroll outlay will be required to put the work. in Mae blasting condi tion. We know of no place more admirably a . fiapted - to the manufacture of iron than this—the .jecation'of the most desirable character, its vi '-einity to the Canal and Rail Road gives it advan tages which none other possess, and as an tipper - tunity_for profitable investment, we think, cannot -be rupit . med. The late improvements made in Wales, as per Mr: Mushet's report, designates the Anthracite Coal region as the proper place for the location of a furnace. Those discoveneti show an increas e; quahty of material and cheapness of manufac inie,which that fuel only can occasion. •The fur naces at .

The above resolution, although general in its character, was honied through the Legislature, for the purpose of anticipating a supposed assign ment said to be intended by the MAIL and Pottsville Rail ;Road Company. We have read this law over Carefully, and although,are think the intention Correct, we feel convinced that it dues not apply to the cue, aid also that its gen eral application would be injurious: We think that, in case when a corporation is about to place property out of Their hands, for the purpose of de frauding their creditors, legislation . toi prevent it would be just end ploper.

The general effect dutch a law, also, is at tended with injury to the community; it would re sult in deterring capitalists trim ever investing money in any:of our improvements, as they would never be able to know how soon it might be leg. islated from them. We believe that this law. as with all hasty acts, conflicts with other laws, and the Constitution. end will not stand the test. But we do thinkthia a general law -mtght be passed, so as to meet es say, wherein Crud is intended, without the in jurious effect. which this will have upon the com munity. We shall refer to the matter again nest week, antFwill dismiss it for the present. •Tax BENEFICIAL ARSOCIATION.—We under stand that this society has expended all its funds, and will be forced to cease supplying until-mon ey can be raised, by further subscription. The Pastors of alrthe different congregations in our b•:rough have been requested to take up collec tions in aid of the society, and a variety of meth ods have been devised for replenishing the fund. Some persons think a concert would answer the purpose, and others that a ball wank] produce a greater return—we fall in with the tatter class of reasoners, and will venture as our opinion, that aigreater amount could be raised in thatway than . be both other methods combined. We learn that our article of last week gave 'rise to some misunderstanding in the interpretation of it. We mentioned that but eighty persons, or thereabout, had applied for relief. We did not intend to convey the idea that only eighty neerted relief, for we thought it. zufficiently understood, that each applicant was the probable representa tive of a family. We make this explanation, at the same time hoping, that our motives have pot been misconstrued into any want of sympathy with the suffering. Finz.—The inhabitants of ihe Borough:of Ml herssille, were thrown into considerable .conster nation on. Tuesday last, by an alarm of Ste...which was fund to riroceed from the dwelling of3lr. S.

We understand tbat - ..the fire apparatus, of that borough is so much out of repair, as to be entire ly useless. We would recommend to our friends there, the propriety of remedying this evil. A fire oceuiring in the centre 4:4 the town, might cause great loss Before its headway could' be efficiently checked. Reuss it) LAHORE tia.-44. Brook, of Medal County, has reported a bill to the House,. which secures to laborers the amount of their claims from the first proceeds of insolvent estates. This is as it should be, and is in fact the very law.which we suggested some time since. „ kis n Jt, towever, such a law as the political agile o-s here desire-, nor do we. think the Legislature so stupid and un just as to pass such an iniquitous measure:. The enactment:of a, Law similar to that rep)rted by Mr. Brook, mould reflect credit upon their deliber ations, and the necessity of its paisage becomes the more apparent from. the fact, that the only .

One of the most.tlnteresting experiments we have ever read, is enniaitred in a report of the case to the Itoyel Medical and Chirurgical Society of London. • The patientwas a laborer named James Womlrell, and hail suffered for five years by an af fection in the left knee, which -had so increased thatemputation became • necessary, and it was 'proposed that it should be performed, if possible, during a magnetic eleep. -- After a number of op s erations, the patient was at length reduced to the , desired state—and the fallowing account is given of the operaticor:-4 then: brought , two fingers of each hand gently in Contact with Wen:theirs closed eyelids, and there kept them stift further to deepen the sleep. Mr. Ward,' after one earnest look at the man, slowly plunged his knife into the centre of the outer ' side of the thigh, directly to the bone, to the opposite point, on the inside of the thigh. The stillness at tins' aliment was Something awful. The calm respiration of the eleepieg ,man atone was heard ; for all other seemed suspended, , In frisking the second incision the position of the leg was found more inconvenient than it had appeared to be, and the operator could not proceed with hisformer facility. Soon after the second incision, a moaning was heard, from the patient. It gave me the idea of a .troubled dream ; for his sleep continued as profound as ever. The placid look of his countance never changed for an instant ; his whole frame= rested, uncontrolled, in perfect stillness and repose ; not a muscle or nerve was seen to twitch: To the end of the operation, in eluding the sawing of the bone, securing the, lute ties, and 'applying the. bandages—occupying a period of upwards of 2ft minutes—he lay like s statue. Soon after the: limb was removed, his Pulse becoming low from the loss ef blood, some brandy end water was poured into his throat, , which he swallowed unconsciously. As the last' ;bandage was applied, I pointed out to one, of the - surgeons, and.enother gentleman present, that pa :ulna quivering of the closed eyelids already allu ded to. Finally, when all woe completed, and Wombell was about to be removed, his put's() be ing still found very low. some sal volatile and wa ter was administered" to him : it proved too strong and pungent, and ho gradually and calmly sweke. o At first be uttered no mire non ; and for some moment seemed lost end bewildered ; but,. after loJking around, he esclerned. .1 bless the Lord 'to find it's all over.' He was then removed • to soother room ; and, following immediately, I asked him, in the presence of those assembled, to describe all he [felt of knew after he wassnes meriseiHis reply was, .1 never know anything more ; arid never felt any p•dn at ell ; 1, once, felt as if Ihearil a kind Of crunching.' I asked if that were painful 1 He replied, 'No pain at ell ! I never had any ; and knew nothingtill I was awa kenedby that strung stair tithe sot volatile.' The Crunching,' no doubt. Was the awing his own thighbone. Ile wee left easy indeohiniteble; and Still was fjund - so at' nine deleck, that night , : ati,iut which hour I again mesmerised him (in a ;annuli end three iluarters.), atid he slept on hour arid' s half. I rrniy further add, that, on the Men day following, the first dressinit of his wound was in 'mesmeric sleep. Of this dressing, usually sc . companied hfirinch soreness and smarting. he felt nothing ; slept Icing efferit wee completed ; was ignorant of Mr. Ward's' intention; and, alter awirkening. remained unconrieions of its - having been done." ' Mr. Peale will give another lecture upon the ' same'subject nest Tuesday el/ening,' which will ' he the last.with his present patient. We would therefani advise - those' who doubt to, take advan tage of the opportunity afforded and be-present. Tea ,Riritzr, Issues.—The Harrisbrirg Intel ligencer states ittat a very interesting debate , took place in the Senate a few days since, on' the sub ject of the Relief Issues. Messrs. Spackman, Craig, Champneys, Darsie, McLinehan and Pen niman took strong ground in favor of withdraw ing this issue from circulation. They contended that the interest of the.whole community, includ ing even the domestic creditors themselves, would be bet subserved by cancelling the 'entire issue of the Relief notes. If this was done; the vacua' um would very soon be supplied by the issues of sound specie paying banks, bot the banks never could do business so long ai these depreciated is sties were in circulation, and took the place of the better currency, as the worst' always would. Mr. Craig stated in his remarks on Friday, that he was assured by the officers of the Bank ofWash ington, that that institution could arid would do business to four times the amount that it now does, if means were adopted to banish the Relief issues, and this, he reasoned, would' he the effect all over the State. The sound banking Instau. tions would all increase their circulation at once, and instead of the trash we now had, we would get a circulation of the paper of sound specie pay ing banks. These are the mere grounds of the ar- guinent.4 of the Senators who spidie on the subject. The discussion was quite-animated, and evinces a strong disposition among the , Senators to do something relieve the community of the incu bus now weighing upon them in , the form o these Relief Noteti. Messrs. Gibons, Family, Bigler, Headley, and Kidder, opposed the cancelling of these notes, on the ground of its doing injustice to the Boatestic creditors. cry We clip The following caution firm the Na tional Forum, and should any of our readers be presented with a Idosican dollar they may-per haps benefit by the knowlekge=for,Our part, the mere tendering of such a coin - in these' times, would be sufficient cause' to doubt - its genuMe ness, • - - • ' - ' , "Loos oar!-it is timid that' Mexican doilars. wide of German silver. plated by the new magnetic • pro. gessore in circulation..

The late pardon of dime, the confederate of McEwen, who was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the county jail, for conspiracy, is but one among the many instances, which have stamped disgrace upon the course of the present Gubernatorial incumbent. The power of the law and that most impartial of all other privileges, the trial by Jury. is thus shamelessly set Itt,.nangbt and with a recklessness which considers nothing but his own popularity, is the authority vested in him by the .people, made the means of mercenary consideration. Since the pardon of ghee, another case has been brought under our notice, which wo give to-our readers without further comment : " David Woods. Supervisor of the Canal, and Wil liam Hildebrand, were brought before the Court in Huntingdon county, last week, to answer a charge of conspiracy in endeavoring to conceal the Assessor of Henderson township, in that county, to preventeiti acne from being assessed, in time so vote at the then approaching election. But they had no sooner been arraigned, than they,prilled from their pockets, a par don from the Governor!" Soicrne,—The Germantiiwn Telegraph coh tains the particulars of a suicide which was com mitted at Barren Hill, a few miles from that place. The peison's - name was Mr. Charles Crosby, and frcm a number of circumstances, such as niaking his will, &c., it is supposed that he had the deed in contemplation for some time. Ho caused his death by. drilling two large vials oflaudanum,ainl although medical aid was immediately procurid, it was found impossible to revive him. Ho seein ed,'a few days before, to take great interest in the arrest of Johnson, one of the Bridge Burners,and visited Norristovvn and Manayunk in his behalf. No reasons can be given for this, as they were but merely acquainted. It is supposed that he was laboring under alienation of mind at ' the MAGNETIC Pi.sTrso.—One of the favorite ar guments, long used by the combatant's for a bard money currency, in the facility with which a pro mise to p•ty " can be counterfeited. Late discov eries have proved that this objection applies with infinitely greater force to the metals than to paper; as a magnetic process has been discovered by which corn can be covered with a beautiful silver surbice, that ;ill deceive the most experienced eye, and which time can scarcely eradicate. This process has been applied with the greatest suc cess to the beautifying of all kinds of ware, and the resemblance to the original is so evict es to debar the possibility of detection, except by cut ting. A German silver coin covered in this man ner with a plating of silver, could scarcely ever be detected ; so a specie currency is now less secure from spurious imitation than the other. • COOP= AND MACK VIZI E.—We stated yes terday.our astonishment that fennimore' Cooper. should attempt to 'give.an opinion on the'Ma.cken zie case. The NeW Yolt Courier and Enquieer explains 'the motive. l'idackerizie wrote a life of the Into gallant Oliver It Perry, who be believed, in common with most of his countrymen, had been grossly mierepresanted in the battle of Lake Erie. by Cooper. That defence of the rileMory of the gallant Perry, was! most acceptable offering . to the patriotiem of the American people: and pre cisely as it was acceptable to them and demonstra tive of Mr. Cooper's unfairness. has it rankled in the bosom of that amiable personage. The time has now arrived for revenge. Intinors.-A law has just been Passed by the Legislature of Illinois. which must interfere great ly with thcr collection of debts due in that State. It provides that all property offered for sale un der execution, shall sell for two-thirds of its ap praised valde, and that value is to be regulates by what property was worth in "ordinary times." It extends to all sales under decrees in Chancery, Deeds of Trust, Mortgages. &c., and obligee the plaintiff to bug the property in one year from the date of his execution, at two-thirds - its aitpfaised value, or lose his lien, as to othei judgmnntiered itors. , GEOUGIA ELECTIOL-01Ecial returns from 89 counties give to Mr. Crawford, tho Whig Candy. date, 24,045, and to Mi.

Gezette.at Washington, strikingly sums up the condition of the U. States. „ The country is in a most singular condition; we have no fixed policy, no party in power able to carry their own principles out - and give a fair trial to them in practice. One set of prippiplererepudi ated, the party professing them defeated—another party brought into power, divested of it in : one short-month ; their measures half adopted add half rejected; themselves again defeated while strug gling to do something for the country, and after they. had passed several valuable Lawe, and now, even dose laws, called for by the exigencies of the country, and calculated to promote the general prosperity if permitted to have a fair end impar tial trial, about to be repealed l What do the peo ple want, and what will they have! Do they know themselves? I doubt it: at least no two States can agree upon the same measure. .

Cuntous Ficr.—Dr."Smith, in a recent lec ture on Geology, in New York, mentioned a cu rious eireumstartice connected with the Mississippi river. It runs from north to south. and its mouth is actually - four mites higher than its source, a re.. cult due to the centrifugal' motion of the earth.— Thirteen miles is the difference between the equa torial and polar radius ; and the river hi two thou sand miles has to rise ono.third of this distance, it being the height of the equator above the pole. If this, centrifugal force were not continued, the rivers would flow back, and the ocean would over flow the land.

In consequence of the insufficiency of (Mal clirmengifies, &c., the force on the Road was ihadettette to the trade afforded.

During. theiaist summer', the track , him tieen &Milled at four' suitable itoiritit: for' a sufficient length to pass, two of. the. largest teal Mains at each point, affording,with" the tracks previously_ laid,. accommodation, for the pasiage of ten or twelve trains per day in each direction. • Addi ti,mal trace are being laid at Schuylkill Haven and at Kithmond, and the trusswork- is being built for four . additional' wharves so as to afford every facitity for speedy shipment. The following is a statement of the engines and cars on the road, December 31, 1842 : Passenger, or light freight engines, 8 Coal engines, 16 Eight-wheeled passenger cars, 12 Four I. 2 Four , r baggage cars, 5 Four o freight cars, 176 Eight " 61 , 3 Four tr coal cars, • 1130 In addition to these, contracts have been enter ed into for twelve engines and fur hundred and fifty coal cars, which, will probably be delivered in the Spring. When these contracts have been completed, there will be thirty engines and fifteen hundred and eighty care, equal to about ten trains, or a business of about 1600 tone per day. This, it is thought ; will be as large a business as can well be accommodated, until some continuous portion of the track can be doubled. A double track is recommended between Reading and Potts town, a distance of 18 miles, as likely to, prevent delays and irregularities. " _ The experie nce of the past year also confiner, the opinion that the coat of transporting cool from Mount Carbon to Richmond, will not exceed 50 cents per ton; at present it would appear to be less, but olloivence is to be mode for the cars and en gines being .new, and requiring less for repairs than they will after hiving been some time in use.
