Our thanks are due to the Hon. James
Cooper for various public documents.
'Coii - eaion.7—Under the Legislative pro
ceedings,given in.tbe JArnal of the 15ih,wel
accidentally inserted the name of Mr. Frailey ;11. 7
instead of that of Col. Jou. S. Struthers as
the author of the amendment t4,,the BM I
, for '
the protection of .Miners; Mechanics, and
Laborers of Schuylkill and other Counties,
passed 2nd' of April A. D. 1849. The amend
meat extends the protection of $5O, guaran

thanks for the interest he has always mani
fested in behalf of the laboring classes of the

ItAILItOOI MEETING.
'be Masa Meeting of the citizens on Mon
dai evening'..ivas held at the Exchange Hotel,
on account of the Town Hall being pre-oc
cupied. A temporary staging was erected in
front of 'the Hotel, froar which the Speakers
Addressed the audience in the street. The
proceedings will be found in another column.
A great number -Of persons were, present
from different parts of the county and the
/feeling seemed unanimous among - them—to
adopt .the speediest means of relief from
their
_Tiresentbarrassments. A- proces
sion paraded iStO"tigh town in Abe afternoon,
carrying a banner with the inscriptions "Re
aistance to oppression"—"The People's Rail
road." So far as we cab ascertain, there is
la...spirit of settled determination among the
people to submit no longer to the impositions;
under which they have for years been labor
mg from the Reading .Railroad. The pres
ent condition of the Trade .cannot and will
not bear the enormous tolls exacted for trans
portation by that company. The interests
of the Region are daily suffering from con
_tin ued
_oppression, :and the operators are Low
determined to , redress their long-borne griev
ances, and stand upon . their own natural
_rights. •
MEETING OF THE OPERATORS
The Coal Operators met at the Exchange
Hotel on Thursday' afternoon, for the -pur
pose of conferring as to the best means to
be adopted in : reference to the present condi
tion of the Trade. Among the proceedings,
found in anotheicolumn, it -will be perceived
that au agreement was entered into to re
duce the shipmeats on the . Reading Railroad,
and a Committee Appointed to secure the co
operation of others not present at the mee
ting, especially those having charge of Lan
dings below. This is an important consider
ation, wend we hope:the appeal will not be
disregarded, as it is evident that bu: little
can be accomplished, without the entire co
operation of all engaged in the business.—
An agreement to suspend shipments entirely
by Railroad was also proposed, and, we be
lieve, signed by every Operator present,
except thoie'connected with firms, managing
wharves below, on condition that they (th --
wharve holders), would also comply with
the same terms.
THE RIGHT COURSE
In accordance with the orders of the Court,
- the liquor-bars of:this borough were gener
ally closed on Sunday last. The Court, the
Prosecuting Attorriey and other officers de
serie the warmest thanks o 1 the community,
for the promptness and despatch which have
characterize(' this proceeding
It will observed by the Report of the
Grand Jury that much of the crime, and a
large proportion of the Assault and Battery
cases that appeared'before , the late session of
our Court, are attributed to the Sunday tip=
plug, so geneal throughout the cotibty. No
one could read thOse Court proceedings, and
not be startled at the results, as there mani
fested; of•the enormous prevalence of Intem
perance in the Region.
We understand, many of the keepers of
Beer-shops refused to conform to the law on
Sunday Jost, but; kept Open bar and sold their
drinks as usual. The Court has not ostensi
bly the same direct influence over themm - as
over the Tavern-keepers—they being licensed
by the State. But . there is nevertheless an
obyious way of reaching thein. They con
tinue to outrage ' public sentiment by open
and Constant violation of the -Sabbath, they
undciubsedr 7 dssy erve to be punished, and
should be presented to the Court for keeping
disorderly- houses. They are public nuisan
ces,
,and of theworst character.
We urge the friends of temperance to
maintain firm ground. We have already
gained much, but much still remains to be
done. We are in the right, and therefore
there is but .one course to pursue. This
curse of the land has too long been submit
ted to—the innocent wives and children. of
otircommunity_have too long been suffered
to draw 'out a, miserable existence in the face
Of this common enemy. Its blighting effects
are every where visible. We have put our
hand to the plough—vie have undertaken
its extermination, and nothing shall deter us
,
or stop-us stiort.of its accomplishment.
DISSIPATION - AT TIM. coLLiganra
We learn that much dissipatimii exists at
some Collieries i o the Region. Liquor is kept
and retailed to the laborers from many of
the stores connected with the operations,
and as a natural result, intemperance pre
vails almost tiaiversally at sueh establish
ments. We
_also learn that scenes of riot
and. disorder—quarrellitig, and sometimes
blood-shed, such. as are a disgrace to any
community_ are but too frequent occurren
ces. The Cperators should use their infiu
rsiee to supPress,t he use of intoxicating drinks
among the 'lab orers of their works. They
would find h greatly to their advantage. A
sober workman will always perform more
labor thart4:drunkeia brie, and do it better.
At the worki of Messrs. Snyder &
and several others along the West Branch,
no liquor is allos;ed to be used' on the prem
ises. It is stipulated with every man who
ages at these collieries, that he must re
tain sober or lose his situation. Thecon
sequence is a different state of affairs exists
here . froth that about those collieries where
the use of liquor is unrestricted. The work
-pen attend punctually to theirbusiness, they
do snore labor, save their, pay and render
their homilies comfortable and happy, by
judiciously expending it for their benefit, in
stead of squandering it foolishly in dissipa.
tion. Their houses are neat and clean—
their furniture - though_ scanty, nevertheless
' in good order, and evcrything, exhibits the
wonderful difference between the condition
of collieries where ram ittnid Wham it is not,

Princeton is one of the oldest colleges in
the United States, having been founded in
1737. It has always sustained a high repu

thorough education of its griduates- 7 -many
of the ablest men of the country having ta

this important measure, have concluded that

Burnside died at Germantown on Tuesday

The deceased was one of the Associate Judges
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
DEATH OF J. S. SKINNER
John S. Skinner, so well known to the
whole country as the edit'or of The - Plough,
the Loom, and the Anvil, died in - Baltimore,
on Friday afternoon of last week. He had
called at the Post Office and was invited, to
the interior of the building. When retiring he
moved towards the private door leading to
North street, and mistaking-the door, opened
that leading to the cellar, and stepping for
ward was precipitated down the flight of
steps to the ground below, fracturing his
skull, causing his death in a few hours: He
was about sixty-five years of age. He was
postmaster in Baltimore for more than twen
ty years, and was third assistant Postmaster
General, during Harrison's and Tyler's ad-
Ministrations.
WHO WAS ST. PATRICK. 1
We gather the following information re
specting •this sainted personage from a pre
amble to some resolutions adopted by the
Sons of the Emerald_ Isle, at a meeting in
Tamaqua on the 17th. He is regarded as
beitig invested with Divine inspi4tion, his
successful mission to Ireland, befit a proof
of it:
Ireland we are informed by a number of
writers, was at that time partly heathenish.
Further, we are informed 111 his awn sacred
life, by Saint Feitch and Saint Kievan. bo th
disciples of our Safr,t, and a host of other
sacred writers on *hich truth and religion
may be placed that is his sixtieth year, ( four
hundred and thirtytthree,) he was ordained
by that holy Father Pope Celistine thefirst,
and sent to Ireland to convert that nation,
and if necessary to bring her inhabitants un
der the jurisdiction of the law or God, and
in subj ection to Christianity. Our Great
Saint dedicated his time in fulfilling his great
mission, preaching and converting the Pa
gans to christianity, and
. propigating the
faith and doctrine of Christ all over the
nation.
It is evident 'that our astle settled the
church of Ireland on a solid foundation, and
ordained Bishops and Priesti throughout the
whole Island, according to the system he
had seen in other countries. Thus he had
established the same kind of Church Gov
ernment, which was used in the several
parts of the Roman Zmpire—boWever, our
holy apostle did not for a moment neglect
the duties of that church which he had plan
ted and watered. He held synods and eccle
siastical councils, by which he, rooted up
and destroyed whatever was practised con
trary to the Catholic faith. He,settled and
established rules consonance the Christian
law to justic!e, and the ancient canons of the
church.
Neirniti:l, , and Father Co/gun: two very
able writers, in their lives of St. Patrick : ,
.inforat."na that he wrote 365 alphabets, foun
ded 365 Churches, ordained over 365 Bish
ops and more than 3000 Priests. He spent
the last thirty years of his life, among the
moue:tap:es of Saul, in Armagh. He being
pleased with the success of tits labors, con
cluded his ministry and his life, together in
the Abby of Saul, on the 'l7th" of March,
0934 in the 120th year of his age. and was.
hurried at - the village of Down, in the north
of Ireland.

SHAMOKIN- COAL TRADE.
The Coal Trade has opened this season
very favorably. A large fleet of boats was
moored in our basin as soon as the canal
was opened, and are receiving their freight
as fast as possible Messrs. Fagely & Co.
took the precaution to bring down and stack
upon the wharf a large quantity of coal du
ring the winter, to supply the increased de
mand on', the opening _of the navigation.-1-
They have opened a new vein this winter,
from which they are prepared to deliver
coal of the first quality. It is of a much
harder formation than usually occurs in this
region, inflames easily, and consumes with a
brighter flame and without decrepitation.—
Its fracture is purely conchoidal, and its lus
tre brilliant and viuious. It has been found
to be superior to any other anthracite coal in
use for furnaces and foundries.
Messrs. Morgan & Co. are busily engaged
in laying turnouts and erecting schutes.—,
They expect to send 50,000 tons to market
this season. The veinthey are working con
tains coat of the red ash variety, the only
one of the kind that has yet beetin operated
upon in the Shamokin basin.—Suniturti Amer

SCRANTONIA.
A Correspondent of the Pittston Gazette,
under date of March 4th, says :
As most if not all the readers of the Ga
zette, are aware, a Railroad, starting at ibis
point and intersecting the York and Erie
Road at the Great Bend, near Binghamton,
is in course of construction on or.before the
fourth of July' next. In connection with
this Road, large and commodious workshops
are being erected .near its terminus in this
places, the largest of which when completed
will bejkle hundred and fifty feet in lengih
by two hundred in width, sufficiently large
to admit the employment of from four to
six hundred mechanics. These _shops are
intended for thernstructipkand repairing
of Locomotives, cars, and tbe s Veneral equip
age
of, the road. This depart '
m'ent is under
the superintende ce of D. H. Dotterel.; Esq.
forMerly of R eading.
In •close preximity to the Depot, a Hotel
of extensive diMensions, to contain two hun
dred rooms, is to be erected the coming sea
son, at an expense of twenty thousand dol
lars. The funds have been secured by selling
stock for the required amount.
A large Church edifice (Presbyterian) is
in course of being erected in a few months.
The estimated cost is twelve thousand dol
lars.
THE COAL TRADE FOR 1851.
F-'T=.M7TI
The quantity sent this. week by Railroad is 29,829
04 tons. against 19,114 10 tons Wit week, showing an
increase of 8,716 14 tons.
A few cargoes'bave been shipped by Canal oxwbleb
we have received no return. The.rirst Bost, BelkEon,
laden with Chi, was despatched on WeifneaWly last.
The Delaware Division of the Penni,lvanla Canal
will not be open before - the Ist of April.
There Is a fair demand at Richmond for single car
goes of Coal—but few sales,lieyond a single cargo for
Immediate use. can be effected In the present unset
tled atateof the trade.
It is reported, (though we do not vouch for the truth
of It.) that the Forest Improvement COmpany has ef
fected a sale of Coal for the Chagres Steamers of 40,-
000 tons, to be delivered In New York at $3 80 per ton.

Company reserves to Itself the right of advancing or
altering these prices, until contracts are actually made
in writing—or in other word., we presume, until the
arrangements for the season are permanently made
in the Bchutikill and Lehigh Regions.
The Coat Operators held a meeting on Thursday
last, which was . largely attended. The proceeding*
will be found In another column. *Recite committee
of ronfirenre reported, they Xestdved unanlatously,
to reduce the shipments by IRallroad below 50 per
cent; until Thursday next, to which .time they ad
journed, to give time for the President of the Com
pany to lay the proceedings before the Board of Mana
cers. andcommuottate their decision. If the deter
mination to cease shipping by Railroad Is persisted in
until a reduction Is 'fretted, it can be atedmpbstied
in lees than-three_weeks,—but it will require a union
of action of not ins than. three-fourths of the trade,
to bring ibuut so &Nimble a result. The vast inter

united effort on the part of all engaged 'ln producing
Coal. It is also of Importance. thin whatever reduc

The paints mauutlictured by the Company in Parts
have. ftpm their commencement, In 1848. obtained the
gold medal oil the Society of Encouragement, and in
18451, the gold medal at the exhibition of articles of
French Industry.
Oct the report of a Special Committee of Chemists
and A rehitect4 and by advice of the Council of Health
the Minister of Public Works has, by Act of Atig.l4th,
1849,,ordered the use of white zinc in public buildings
to the exclusion of white lead. It has been equally
adopted by the City of Paris. in the Hospitals, Bar
racks, and the works directed by most of the Paris
Architects i
The articles manufactured by the Company, are-
The white, milled snow ; white, replacing the sliver
white.
The White Zito, No. I, replacing the white lead first

;The Gray Ozide of Zinc, which replaces the minium
for Painting metals. fences, wells, Ace.

At the same price per pound as white lead, OPP ob

economy varies with the price of the nil. 5
The oxide Of zinc does not, like white lead, change
from sulphurous exhalations so common In titles ; Om
paint preserves, on the contrary. Ite tehlteness to
coffee houses, theatre', laboratories, stables. privies
and sulphur baths, in 'venters, notwithstanding the
gas arising from the hold; emptying seisms has no in
fluence newt it. The paint lasts also much longer
than that from white lead. •
The paint of white Me acquires a hardness which
permits to palish it like the driest stucco ; it is whiter
and bee morn freshness than white lead, and mine
well with any color. •.
MODE OF APPLYING THE WHITE ZINC PAINT.
The white zinc is steed exactly like white lead on
new wood, plaster, NALCO. Matta or old paint., ike.,
only the workman must be weft', to wash witbspitho
the vessels or brushes previously used for white lead.
not to keep his palm too thick, to bear on the brush
with ,less strength than with *bite lead, which Is
heavier and less impaLsple.and to wash In Has the old
paint Define applying the new, the same which is
done whh white lead.

Li A Complimentary dinner, was given
on Monday last to the Hou. Daniel Webster,
by the Maryland State Reform Convention,
at Annapolis.
a7' Prime Ministers in England—There
have been twenty- - eight Prime Ministers in
England, from-the time of the Duke of New
castle, appointed 1754 to the present incurn,:i
bent of that honorable post, Lord John Rus
sell, inclusive.
r 7. Jenny Lznd, it is said, refused to leave
New Orleans on the Sabbath day, although
her resolution was taken at the risk of losing
the proceeds of her promised concerts at Nat
chez and Memphis." The example is a noble
one, and worthy of all imitation. .

he had front the Departnient. , of the State,
certifying the bearer to a . citizeit of the
United States ; which passports.-,arti issued
gratis, upon application supported vy proof
of citizenship.
English Elections. —lt is stated that
one of the strongest objections to the forma
tion of a SiAley Cabinet. in England, was
the necessity tt.would involve,by the choice of
a new Parliament, of exposing to the view
of the_ immense multitude oPstrangers at
the World's Fair, the scandalous character
of the British election. This objection is
strongly urged by a respectably British jour t;
rial, and it is said to have had. its influence
upon the counsels of the Sovereign, in the
late political emergency.
Effect of Abolishing Capital Punish
nirra.—The Secretary of State in Michigan
being asked by a Canadian gentleman how
many convictions .for murder--have taken
place in that State since hanging was abol
ished, replies :
In 1847, For Manslaughter, • :." I
In 1848, " _Murder in First Degree, 1
In " " Murder in Second Degree, I
In 1849, " Murder in First Degree, I
Iu Murder in Second Degree. 3
In 1850, no conviction for murder or man
slaughter.
To the question whether murder has been
more frequent since the law' was changed,
he replied at length in the negative. •

been started is Minesota Territory at Wa.

L The law passed at the recent session of

The, custom of singing psalms - at chinch
began in 1559. Sometimes'at Paul's Cross,
many thousand persons-sang

the use at those who could not read, the
clerk repeated the line three times.
The Court of Schuylkill county has
