Though we give a report of the case in another colunin,"we may here quote an incident related by a New- York paper. In 1934, when Mrs. Gaines, (then Mrs—Whitney,) soon after her marriage, went to lietv Orleans with Mr. Whitney to take measures to obtain their rights, they-applied to Edward -Livingston, the eminent lawyer of New York, for advice as to the best mode of proceeding, and gave him a fee of $5OO for a written opinion ore that !mint alone. , lie furnished them accordingly with a• very deltbe'rate, profound and elaborate opinion, counselling them to adopt the proceedings by Bill in Chancery as ultimately the most complete and spCedy, though at the orltsetand for a time apparently the most tedious k and expensive.— With remarkable sagacity and ,foresight Mr. L. foretold precisely every obstacle. and every step of their progress, with an accuracy that has hot been found to vary in a single particular in the course of. a litigation of (thirteen years—from 'the Cling of ,the bill to the ~d ecree" just announc ed.by the Supreme Court of the United States, which crowns that unparallelled opinion with". ELICCCES worthy of its wi,dom. • e r-Sarali; a daughter of Col. Benton, was mar ria'd the other, night, to a 'gentleman of St. Louis.

About seven hundred perso . ns were present, inclhding the en tire diplomatic corp=, heads of Departments, Se,n , ohms and Representatives, officers of Government. ' and distinguished ladia'and gentlemen, from our oWn . and foreign countries. The bride is a niece • of Mr. Budisco,'and was given away in the nup_ t;al - ceremony by the venerable statesman of Ren y, tucky, who had . arrived a fvw days previously. Clay's appearance in the House is thus alluded to by Mr. StrOhme the cortespondent of the Lancaster Examiner : 'Mr. Clay was in the house this morning, looking absolutely better 'and younger than he did twelve years ago, when , I first beheld.the great ICentuckian.

The Laneasferian is the title of a large and handsome sheet, .just commenced at Lancaster by Col. Holbrook, to advocate the nomination of Geo. M. Dallas as the locofoco candidate for the presi dency. It is pretty severe upon Mr. Buchanan, and from one of its leaders we dip the fol l owing piquant sentence: "Ender these circumstances, and if persisted in, we may feel it ir.cpinbCzit on us, and due to the Democracy, to publish Mr. Buchiuisn's letter'of Expatriation, whereby 1 1 . 1 e lipqaishes all claim .; ,to_the name of Pennsylva nian." Mr. Buchanan, shortly after he accepted the office of Secretary of,State, refused to pay the city taxes levied upon him in Lancaster,. alleging that he no longer considered himself a citizen of that city, or of the state!

Murders, threatening notices, robberies, crimes, and outrages of every species and • degree, are the Order of the day.

THE COMMON SCHOOL REPORT.—We lest week incidentally. alluded. to the .Report of the Superintendent of Coinmon Schools in -this State, and bully stated the operations of the eye. tern daring the put year. We present below a few suggestions from the Report,which the Super intendent urges upon the attention of the he. gislature: --(Editor. ' It appears by the returns of the last year, that there was an increase in the number of schools, turban and pupils, over the proceeding year, but that the average length of time the - ichoule were kept open, was less. In 1846, thei average time the schools were open, was five montticand one day; and in 1847, four months and twenty-two days, while , in many of the districts. the whole time did not eiteed three month,. This is deep. ly to be regretted, and may be mainly attributed to the limited power of the directors to lay tales, and rain an adequate amount of funds to support the schools, as the public interests require. There are undoubtedly many obvious defects in the school laws, some of which have been ad verted to in former reports, and your attention is now, most respectfully but earnestly; invited, to the following recommendations: First :—That the age at which children shall be entitled to admission into the public schools, shell be changed from four to six years... Secondly :—That ell the .districte which are now accepting district., and all which may here after become such, shall be considered as having adopted the provisions of the • law, permanently. ' This will put an end to the agitation of the question of "schools" or "no schools," after the lasi shall once have been adored; and 'the'peo• pie; instead of being embroiled in contentions and excitement on this question, as is unfortunately the cue in too many districts, will become *satis fied end direct their energies_ to the improvement of the condition of their schools. • ' Thirdly :—That the directors be authorized and requital to raises sum of money, which with the amount the district may be entitled to receive out of the State appropriation, will enable them to keep the schools open at•least six months in every, year; within their respective districts, as contain plated by the existing Jaw, and as much longer as may be Considered necessary and expedient. Legal provvion is recommended to prevent dis putes between directors and committees of sub districts. Also it is proposed to make all property • taxable for State and county purposes, taxable for school perforce. ! The great practical defect in the operations of the system, as was observed in the last annual re. port, is the employment of incompetent teachers. Ths remedy for this, is a more rigid examination of the applicants for • certificates of competency endeharecter, the payment of a more liberal com pensation; and keeping the schools longer in operation, so as to afford good teachers more steady employment. It is unreasonable to expect, that a person who is qualified to teach, will pursue the profession, if he can only find employment for thres or four months in the year. The improve ments proposed, hOwever, cannot be effected, until those entrusted with the management of the schools, are vested with authority to raise the necessary amount of funds. This is' the first, if not the one thing needful. The views, which hare been heretofore expressed, in regard to the advantages which would result from country superintendents, are still entertained. In the commencement of the system, it had to encounter great prejudice and much determined opposition.—The people are always reluctant and slow to change long established systems and cus toms. .Even the most obvious truths and valuable discoveries in science, as well as the ordinary aff airs of life, ere frequently rejected, and require time and periseverance to demonstrate their utility. In nothing has this been more exhibited, than in the opposition which was at first manifested to. the introduction of a general plan of popular edu cation, free alike to-all the children of the Com monwealth: °Deja which all, rich and poor, can participate on terms of perfect equality, without respect to any artificial or accidental circumstance or condition, arising out of causes over which they have no control, and free from the odious and in vidious distinction created by the pauper system: Its friends have now cause for sincere congratu lation. The principles of humanity, of real chris tian benevoloce and Of patriotism; have triumph ed. The p rejudice and opposition they had to en- Minter in its origin,have gradually receded before the power of enlightened public opinion until it is believed, an immense majority of the people have epprebendied the subject in its true light, and now regard as the best means of promoting their social bopping's, and securing and perpetuating their drib religious and political rights. • th Ei SWALLOWING AtENT.—A child at Mont- Mlle, N.

A physician, named Nir Whim Fair, then making a minute examination, condo; dad the cent had lodged in the passage leading to the stomach. He then went to work to form an instrument u seemed to him suited to the case. Thin be effected by taking three pieces. of small flexible wire and doubling each; then introduced the pieces thlough a small tube.. and ben. ding the projecting ends that had becri doubled so as to form three small books, standing in different directions, and bent to an acute angle. With this instrument be ascertained the precise kituation of the cent to be in the longitudinal folds of the mu.

On; the first introduction of the instrument be war induced wont° withdraw it from symptoms of strangulation; another trial was made, without effect. Convin ced of Its presenee,precise location, and disastrous consequences, the doctor, unwilling to abandon the ease, made a third effort, and, to the gratifica tion of all present, hooked the cent and brought it opal* a quantity of masticated food end mor bid moms, that bad lodged in the (Esophagus.

Every fair competitor then takes a ladle, and being ran i tea side by side, with arm and ladle outstretched waits for the signal. The distance' is measured, say one hundred yards, and the condition is, that the winner must arrive first at the goal without dropping her egg. On the ininesting (mention referred to, 'a very seirited contest took place. The exact number of. fair runners the reporter does not name, but when the signal was given, off started the high-bred, and lovely clangs, pushing each ber ladle and egg as far before her neighbor as posilble.: Miss l—rn took the" lead and, kept, it-nobly till within's' few yard* of. the winning post, when She dropped her egg, and suffered Miss W—t to win the prize.
