Should any of the subscribers not receive the Paper, they will please notify us ag' WE Ain indebted to Hon. JAMES COOP ER and Hon. I. LETCITER of Washington, and Col. SIi.EY, House of Representatives, Harrisburg, for publiC documents. 07 WE HAVE 'been again disappointed in procuring a suitable cut for the article we , have prepared on the Coal Forinations of the Region and hence are compelled to defer its publication. We are indebted to several' friends for valuable communications on the subject—they shall be heard in due season. WHOSE FAULT t For some time a number of our subscribers at a distance, have been complaining of:not receiving the Journal regularly. We have quietly borne their charges, however, know tog-that accidents trill sometimes occur, but they have at length grown too frequent to remain unnotic Whether Or not we may remedy the evil, vi l e, wish, atleast, to place the blame to the proper account. Our mail packages arc carefully directed andyegularly 'taken to the Post Office on f riday nights or, at most, before the mail closes next morning —so that if they fail of their.destination, the fault r is evidently not with us.' The St. Clair packet, we understand, does not reach that place, frequently, until Monday—tiro miles to four days ! A complaint is, also, made that the papers instead of being delivered at the Way-stations, along the: line, by the dotvii-train on . Saturday morning, are fre quently carried to Philadelphia, whence they • are not returned till Monday or Tuesday.=.• We simply present these facts, as they are charged upon us, in -the shape of complaints, - leaving it for others to discover where the blame lies. LOCOFOCO LEGISLATION Congress has now been in session nearly five months, and as yet, very little practica legislation—for the general good of the.couti, 1. try—has _been . effected. President:, , making seems to. engross •the principal attention of :he members-,-business, that for which the people elected them, is laid to one side, as a 1 matter of secondary consideration. The con sequence will - be that all the important mea sures, which should have been dispOs.eti of • Icing ago, will be crowded into the last few days,. or pe'rhaps hours of the session,!and then hurried through in some imperfect, in- considerate form—half the members not knowing in •reality what• they are voting about, We wishlci call the attention olthe 4 people to this subject and point out to them that this waste of time and of public money, I should be placed mainly to the account of the Loeofoco party, since they have the ma iority"in both Houses, and are, therefore, - able'to control the wheels of Congressional machinery.. OUT OF ORDER. At the Whig Caucus meeting, in Wash ington, this, week, for tliepurpose'of deter mining the time and place of holding tie Whig National Convention, an attempt was made to introduce resolutions; laying down the Compromise measures as one plank . in the platform upon winch the future can didate should be pledged—they were, very properly, ruled ont of order. What ngl had that caucus, and still less a very sma :4. portion o . 'o, evidently more influenced by -:;;. personal motives than fur the general good of their political friends, to dictat; principles 'fol. the Whig party of the whole_kountry to act upon ? And besides, that was not the business of the meeting. Bepatient,gentle men, till the proper time arrives, when, you may rest assured, a platform of sufficiently patriotic dimensions, will be erected to ac fummodate an honest Whig host, numer ' ':tolls enough to elect the Hero of Mexico and: haVe a few thousand votes to smother the mat-contents with, besides. THE MAINE LAW It was said by the opponents of this law, that thonsarrds of people were leaving Maine, taget rid of its oppressive 'effect. In Port land, at the reeeut election, Mr. Dow received nearly two hundred votes more than he did when he was electvl, and Judge Parris_ re ceived about one thousand mpre cotes than thd "Afr. Duw's former opponent. Another misrepresentation is, also, cor rected by the fact that Judge Parris is a Tem p, ranee nian—Mr. Dow's defeat, therefore, is not a Rum triumph. No man can take a leading part in any Reform. however bene ficial, without making many , enemies; but it is - no disgrace to forfeit the friendship of such persons. Another fact, equally significant, is that four-fifths of the towns in the State elected supporters of the new Liquor Law. This don't look like taking the back track. GLASS-IV ARR. MANUFACTORY A correspondent of. the Germantown Tele graph states, " that a company of very en terprising individuals has organised, at Con 'holiocken, on the Schuylkill, for the pur pose of making a kind of glass-ware from the 'refuse or cinders of the 'Marion Blast Furnace.' Their intention is to manufacture coffins, table-tops, mantels, door-knobs., flag giag, as well as kitchen and other utensils. The enterprise, you will perceive, is a novel one, and if paccessf9l—ol which there ap pears to be little dou;bt—must be of univer sal benefit. Thus Arhile the manufactured articles must disace much that is now in use, the worthies cinders suddenly become a substance of vali.te. • So much for the dis coveries of science—and Where they are r`o end, time 'only can discover." - We believe, however, that the manufac ture of ware from coal cinders, is not new-1 , D .

Iff YeTir.zuollS NiIRDE*. Last week a than unknown, was round ly ing in the woods, about 7 miles above Himle ton, a few yards from the public road lead ing from Hazleton to Wilkesbarre. From the . appearance of the corpse it was supposed that he had been lying there about a month . . The_ Tamaqua Legion says the stranger was doubtless murdered, as marks of violence were found Upon his person. ,A. horrible gash was inflicted upon his forehead, : and his loi - ver jaw was broken in, and, from ap 7 pearances, the murder was supposed to have been committed with a 'club. floc - In - 13 00 5 00 - 600 1-00 He 'was a portly gentleman, rather goOd .looking, and was well and neatly dresied in broadcloth.

The attendance of Representati c w of the Lodges from the int e rior will undtigtedly be large, as subjects of more than ordinary , in terest will be brought before the Convention. Among other matters, the proposed amend inents to the Constitution. and By-Laws i of the Grand Lodge and of the Subordinate Lodges, will be finally disposed of, and many other subjects of importance to the weltare of the Institution. A proposition will be broubt up to establish twolVidows and Or phans Asylums, one in Philadelphia and the other at Pittsburg. It is, proposed ‘tO call a Mass Convention, to consider the propriety of dividing the State into two Grand Lodges. 'Votes "Trur; TItAN ELEGANT.7-The New York Courier, speaking of the doings in the House of Representatives, says.l'lroin its first breath, it has not done a good thing. It has cost the country more than hall a mill ion of dollars to keep its body and soul to gether, and not the slightest tittle in the way of equivalent has yet been rendered. • Like a graceless truant, it has not done the i'rork, it was sent to do, but has spent its time in playing hide and seek in coalition bushes, making mud-pies from the scrapint of tfie political gutter; pulling the feathers out of the old party .hatitams', breaking up mares' nests and sucking the eggs, hopping on one leg without a quorum, turning sotnmersetts oh the previous question anti giving it a kick on the back, swimming on bunkum bladders. practicing bloody words and giving bloody noses." ; TE. BUSHELS or PF:TITIONS.—Froin an inspe6:ion of the vast bulk of petitions that have 'been Sent into the two branches of the Legfsla l lure in favor of the Maine Laiv, it is estimated that there are ten bushels.-- These petitions are signed by tensi!if, thou sands of females as well as males and the signatures indicate education and intelli gence; while, on the contrary, the remon strances that haVe been received against it, from their signatures, generally indicate iieite the reverse.

It is said to have been started more than a thousand years ago—somewhat earlier than the one under the patronage of the " good Queen Bess." An ancedote is related to the effect that, in 1769, a public officer caused some false intelligence to be inserted in this : newspaper, fur which he was put to death. Several numbers of the paper are preserved in the Boys' Library at Paris. They are each ten and a quarter yards long. THE COAL.

WRIGHT, of the Mon tour,Columbia and Luvrrne Cos.,District, the Committ:ee on Elections have reported to the House the vacancy of Mr. FuLLER's Seat.— What will not Locofocoism do? STATE LEGISLATURE IfousE.—:The Apportionment Bill from the Senate was taken up, on Wednesday : , and after much discussion, in which the entire original Bill was stricken out and another, entirely different in its features, inserted, which will give the State 11 Whig and 16 Democratic Congressmen—it finally passed. No action has yet been hadupon this in the Senate. A joint resolution fixing Thursday next, 29th., as the day of adjournment, passed on Thursday. The Bill incorporating the town of Port Carbon into a Borough, has passed both branches of the Legisiature. NEWS FROM EUROPE. Liverpool dates, by the Asia, to the 10th inst. Business generally has been partially sus pended on account of the Easter Holidays. It seems the. U. S. Tariff Bill of .'46 does not confine its ruinous effects to our own people—the Manchester Commercial Asso ciation have complained to the English Gov ernment that it injures their trade with the kingdom of Siam. They state that -English merchants who import tea from Siam into England are shut out from the American market, because, on entering an American port from England, the tea is charged with a duty of \4O per cent.,although itmay be im- _ ported direct duty free. The English mer chant is thus kept out of a second market, unless he import all his tea in the first in stance to the United States; and America is thus becoming the .emporium of the trade. The same disadvantages apply to coffee and some other imparts. The Arctic expedition, in search of Sir John Franklin, was to have sailed on the 15th. A supply of '2O-pound canisters of gunpowder, to be exploded by galvanism, has been placed on board the vessels for the purpose of breaking up the ice, and forcing a passage fur the steamers through Welling ton channel. In France, the sig . nificant tone in which parties supposed to te in the confidence of President Louis sneak, respecting imperial ism, leaves it a settled belief in the public mind that the Empire will be re-established on the first favorable opportunity. General presentiment even points to the sth of May, the anniversary of the death of the Emperor, as the date on which the.. President's next coup will be made, workmen being ;engaged in clearing and levelling the Place de Car rousel fora review of all the &Wary 'forces in Paris on that day. LOCOFOCO LEGISLATION. Some of the beauties of Locofoeci legisla tion have just been developed at Harrisburg this week. Governor Bigler vetoed, very properly, no doubt, eleven Bank Bills, that had passed both Houses. This is an age of progress—perhaps we shall be able to dis pense with the Legislature altogether, after a while. The Message accompanYing the veto is a sound and ably-written dcieument (1:7 STAND FIRM. -A Connecticut corres pondent of the New York Tribune, explain ing the recent defeat of the Whigs in that Slate says : "The result ..,hows that in all towns' tchere the Whigs met the MAIN imie, tendered then: by the Loess, the Whigs have„bern successful; to all town., however, where the \Vhiga were;timid and, Irresolute regarding that issne, we are defeated." Other accounts from various places in the State, confirm this view of the case—it teaches this important lesson, that the friends of any cause must be decided and roe the mark " if they expect to succeed: fr 7 A NEW WORD.-A correspondent of the Albany Journal suggests the word "Tel egram," as a substitute for telegraphic des ,-patch, or any other phrase ordinarily used to 'represent a communication received by tele graph. The word is formed, he says, ac cording to the strictest laws of the language . troth which its root comes. Telegraph means to write from a distance—Telegratn the wri- dog itself, executed from a distance; Mono. gram, logogram, &c., are words formed on the same analogy, and in good acceptation. n"" " EFFECTS OF Loioroco Rui.E.—The Sheriff of Clarion comity advertises that he will' offer for sale on the first day.of May. sixty-nine separate pieces of real estate em bracing NINE furnaces, several Mills, and many well improved - turns. The descrip tion of this property fills nearly six columns of the elation Register." Who wouldn't singpeans to a Tariff poll cy,Which was forced upon Pennsylvania by the basest fraud, and is now almost beggaring an entire class of her citizens, that a similar . class of men in Eurcipe may grow rich upon the bounty of our citizens? Let it be a chil ling curse upon the Locofoco party, that their counsels and their votes brought this mon ster into being. [I:7PETITION.—The following petition, signed by above seven htindred boys and girls of Harrisburg was presented in the House of Representatives fait week, We know of none who have a greater stake in this ques- 'ion than the juveniles ; which they have expressed quite becomingly in the following: "'We the subscribers ,boys and girls of Harris- burg, respectfully petition to the 71. k- gislature or Pennsylvania to pass a law like the Main&Liquor Law.
