Bciwsre LaekwaKiwi & Western Rr.ih'Giid The first animal report of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad has been published. This road extends from Great Bend on the Eric liailroad through the Lackawanna Coal Basin to the Dela ware River, five miles below the Water Gap, were it connects the Warren aud X. Jersey Central Railroad, and thus to Jer sey City. The road is 1 LI miles in leugth. The northern section from Great Bend to Scranton has been operated for some time pa.-t. The southern section from Scran ton to the Delaware was put under con tract in June last, and will bo completed probably in June, 1855. The total cost of the northern division, up to December 31, 1853 including cngincerinar, land for depots, right of wa', grading;, bridffinff, supertructure, station-houses, machine and car-shop?, car-houses, contingent and ofiiec expenses, Sic, Sic, and the amount expended toward the construction of the tunnel, is 8-2,102,0.18 75.

The news by the Nashville, which ar rived at Xew York on Sunday evening, bringing intelligence from Europe two days later than had previously reached us by the Andes, is of no special impor tance. The rumors previously reported by telegraph, of another great battle hav ing been fought on the Danube, are not confirmed by tins arrival; but from the movements of the Ilussians, it was confi dently expected that a new engagement would soon take place. Fresh negotiations are reported,but without apparent authori ty.

During January, however, there was no reason to complain of want of cold weather and plenty ol snow, the latter being on an average four feet deep. The mean temperature for the whole month was 11 degrees, lhe coldest day of the month was the 24th, the mean temperature being 18 deg. be low zero. The lowest temperature was on the morning of the 28th, when the ther mometer stood at 30 de. below zero. The highest was at noon on the 31st, when the thermometer stood at 40 deg. above zero. In the Lake Superior region the air is remarkably pure and dry, and thus there iis none of that shivering feeling so com mon to a cold, damp atmosphere. The correspondent of the Inquirer says that sucli is the dryness of the air that often times a stove in which a good fire is burn-! ing will become charged with electricity so that sparks may be drawn from it. Starration at Sea. On the 4th of February the barque Dona Doa, of and from Livepool for Sa vanuah, was discovered water-logged off- the southern coast of Ireland. She had Dccn completely uismasteu. iier crew had been for eleven and a half days with out food and water, and six of them, in eluding the master, had died of starva tiou. Four of the remainder died in two davs after the rescue. Another case is reiated which did not terminate so fatallv. The schooner Wa ter Hose, on the 24th of December last, was capsized in a gale, when the captain and two men were drowned. The ves sel afterwards righted, when the crew lashed themselves to the windlass and continued on the wreck for thirty-one days without sustenance, except a few raw potatoes and turnips that they oc casionally picked up floaliug in the cabin, iutl ou piooo of salt pork. They were MtWqtiiiitly roioul nud Uikou into n port i frdiU. preme Court, and Canal Commissioner, met this morning at 10 o'clock, in the Hall of the House of representatives, pursuant to the call of the State Central Committee. The attendance was very full, almost every county in the State being fully rep- esentctl. Wm. L. Hirst, Chairman of the Cen tral Committee, occupied the chair tem porarily, pursuant to a resolution of for mer Conventions. The names of the Delegates were then called, and their credentials scverallv presented. J he seat of Charles IS. Manley, of Del aware, as Senatorial Delegate from Ches ter and Delaware, was contested by Al exander McKever, but after a full exam ination of the case Mr. Manley was ad mitted. On motion, a committee of one from each Senatoral district was then appoiutcd, to nominate and report officers for the permanent orgauizotiou of the Conven tion. Mr. Chase, (Speaker of the House,) moved the appointment by the delegates of a committee to report a series of reso lutions expressive of the views and senti ments of the party. Considerable discussion arose, and the resolution was finally postponed until the organization of the Convention. The Convention then took a recess un til VU o'clock. NOON SESSION. The Convention re-assembled at 12 o'clock, when the Committee on selection of officers made report. They nominated Judge Shannon, of Al legheny, for President of the Convention, assisted by one Vice President, from each Senatorial district, and eleven Secretaries The nominations were unanimously ap proved. The President, on taking the chair, made an address, heartily congratulating the Democracy of the State upon the spirit of unity and fealty every where manifested, lie spoke also of the hope ful and cheerful -aspect of affairs through out the county, and exhorted in every movement, a careful regard for the pros perity and permanency of Democratic principles. The Convention then again resumed the consideration of the resolution of Mr. Chase for the appointment of a committee to report resolutions. It was debated at some length, and af ter beintr amended so as to direct the President to appoint, was adopted. The convention then adjourned until 2 o clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. The convention re-assembled at two o clock, and proceeded to ballot for a can didate for Governor, and the first ballot resulted as follow: Wm. Diglcr, 128 votes. Tlios. S. Dell, 5 votes. Wm. Bigler was thereupon declared du ly nominated as the candidate of the Dem ocratic party for Governor of the Com monwealth. Hon. Jeremiah S. Black was then on motion, nominated b'v acclamation as a candidate for the Supreme Bench. The Convention then proceeded to the nomination of a caudidate for Canal Com missioner. The names of quite a number of gentlemen were submitted, and the first ballot then being taken resulted, as fol lows: Henry S. Molt, of Pike 56 votes. George Scott, of Columbia. 20 " Scattering (scv'l. candidates) 57 :i Neither candidate having a majority of all the votes cast, a second ballot was had which resulted as follows: Henry S, Mott, 83 votes. George Scott, 20 " Scattering, 28 " Henry S. Mott, of Pike county, having a clear majority, was thereupon declared duly nominated for Canal Commissioner, amid enthusiastic applause. The President then announced the Com mittee on llesolutions, (Mr. E. B. Chase, of Susquehanna, Chairman,) after which a recess was taken until G o'clock. EVENING SESSION. The Convention reassembled at G o' clock, when Mr. Chase, from the commit tee on resolutions, submitted a series ex pressive of the sentiments of the Conven tion, and of the party in the present fea ture of affairs, aud re-affirming the estab lished principles of the Democratic creed. The resolutions, after some little dis cussion, were adopted. An unsuccessful effort was made to in troduce resolutions in reference to the Nebraska bill. The Convention, then, after some other unimportant business, adjourned sine die. We heard yesterday of a most singular lusus 'naturae. A lady residing near Newburgin this county, was delivered of a bicephulous male child of a most singu lar formation. It bad two heads, three arms and four hands. The child was not alive when ushered into existence. The two faces were almost precisely alike in features. The Democrat says its feet and legs were natural and perfect. The body was divided in such a manner as to leave no doubt that it was composed of two bodies, which had by some cause be come united. It is probable that it con tained two hearts, two stomachs in truth all the internal apparatus of two com plete bodies. It is much to be regretted, that measures were not at once taiien to remove every doubt in regard to this mat ter. There were attached to the body two heads, two perfect arais, and one arm with two perfect hands. One of the heads was connected with the body by a neck which grew directly behind the right shoulder, the other occupied its natuaal position. The third arm was attached to t.h p. bndv inst between the two necks. It had two hands, which were united imme diately above the wrist by a sort of web, . i i 1 1 i i the palms lacing inwards, and ail tuc un rrr-rs homo-nerfcet. In the entire ranee of medical science, this case stands with out a parallel. It had already excited a deep curiosity in the minds of many sci entifie gentlemen; and numerous causes have been assumed tor this remarkable freak of nature, but our limited space pre vents us from civins; any of the learned conjectures which have been offered. We shall merely add, that the mother is past all dansrer and that she positively rcrused to allow the child to be dissected.-C'eaiY?- land Plaiiidcalcr.

Shocking Case of Destitution. The Manchester (N. II.) Mirror relates the following case ot destitution aud want caused by iutempcracc, which was recent ly discovered in Hallsville, and a smal village in Manchester. The name of the j family is not given. The Mirror says:- "Last week Friday, the neighbors heard that death had entered their miserable dwelling, and ongoing in, they found an infant, born the night before, but just a live; and a child, 3 years old had died the morning before; and another, i years old, quite sick, and also the mother. Upon looking around, no food was found but a few cold potatoes, not a stick of wood save the little a poor man near, hearing of their distress, had brought in the night before from his own scanty pile. lrom what they could learn, the family had lived mostly on meal, stirred up with wa ter, and cooked in a spider on the stove Occasionally, the father would get a bone that the meat had been cut oil trom, which boiled would give them for a change a lit tie broth. An old undcrbed with one sheet, a cotton coverlid, and two pieces o cotton cloth tacked together, but no cot ton between them, constituted the bed o the parents and child that died, while an old braided mat, laid on the cords of trundlebcd, and apiece of an old comfor ter for covering, has made up the bed for the oldest child through our several cold Winters."

The Boston Pilot, Catholic, gives the following as an official announcement: 5&i!i;nE;itioui for ILcul. The Regulations for Lent in the Doi ccscof Boston, in the year 1S54, are as fol lows.' First All the days of Lent, (Sundajs excepted) are fast das of obligation. Second The use of flesh meat is al lowed by dispensation, on "all Mondays Luesdavs and lhursdavs in Jjcnt, once in the day only; on Sundays it is allowed without restriction as to the number o times. Third Lard may be used in preparing foou on all the days in Lent. (Ibis dis pcusation extends also to the days of ab atinence throughout the year.) Fourth Eggs, fish, butter, cheese and milk, may be used at the evening colla tion. Fifth The use of flesh-meat and fish at the same meal is prohibited. Lent commenced on "Wednesday, the 1st inst. Lent, which Commenced on Wednes day, is an old saxon word, signifying Spring. J he Lenten vast means, there fore,the Spring Fast. The first day of lent is called Asu Wednesday, from a custom iu the ancient church of fasting in sack clock with ashes upon the head in token of penitence and humiliation. Fine Times for the Iron Men. The iron men are doing a fine business, so good, that they say not a word about a tariff. Ihcre are thirteen thousand miles of railroad in operation; three thous and miles additional, it is estimated, will be built this year. For double tracks, one hundred thousand tons will bo requir cd this year. The quantity of railroad iron, therefore, in use by the end of this year, allowing one hundred tons to the mile, will be one million, seven hundred thousand tons, which, at $65 per ton, the present price, gives a total of SI 10,500,- 000, invested in railroad bars now in use. Eight per cent, is estimated by the Rail way Times to be the wear and tear of the rails in use, which would require an out lay for this item aloue, of more than eight millions of dollars, annually, or in the course of the years over eighty millions of dollars. By January, 1800, there will, in all probabilit', be in operation in tho United States, thirty thousand miles of railway. Between now, and that period, there-will have to be furnished, by our manufactur ers, the iron for some 19,000 miles of new track, and as much as eight per cent. per annum of the amount now in use. This magnificent amount, with the multi plied uses for iron, cars, locomotives, steam-engines, machinery, steam -boats, iron sailing vessels, iron buildings, &c, gives to the iron trade the most flattering prospects, if nothing intervenes to stop the progress of railroad oonstruetion.--Philadolphia Ledger, Nebraska and its Coiisr quences. jjgjTho Washington Correspondent of he New-York Tribune writes to that Journal that "developments may soon be expected which will establish beyond doubt the fact, that the assertion of the principle involved in the Nebraska bill is but the preliminary step toward the exe cution of one of the boldest and most stupendous conspiracies ever heard of. It proposes no less an achievement than the- forcible seizure ol Mexico, Ucntral Amer ica and Cuba, during the approaching struggle in Europe, and their conversion into slave States. Here we have tne Key to the solution of that most inscruitable po litical enigma of times, viz : the motives of those who have been most instrument al in springing this portentous question up on the country. It is said some of the first men of the Republic will be implicated, and nearly all the Southern leaders." Another Correspondent oi the same Journal gives a graphic account of the disgraceful scenes In the Senate on the night the Nebraska bill was passed. A number of Senators were intoxicated and the language of Douglas and others is rep resented to have been of the most course and vulgar character. Sects in Minnesota. The Roman Catholics in Minnesota far out-number all other denominations. Bishop Cretin, of the Catholic Church, has it in contem plation to build a cathedral at St. Paul's, during the present year, at a cost of $90, 000. The Methodists have four separate churches in the Territory, and two mis sions among the Indians. The Presby terians have six churches and six missions; the Calviuistic Baptists have three chur ches, and the Free Will Baptists one; the Episcopalians have regular service at two places, and missionaries who regularly visit, on foot, every village in the Territory- liupcsfoi'St We are requested to caution the pub lic against two persons who are traveling through the couutry under fictitious names; one having passed in this city as Dr. Ly man Abbott, the other as hid nephew Dr. Henry Abbott. In Danbury, Ct., they passed under the name of Andrews. One of them wo learn, has imposed on a re spectable family in that city, by contract- in" marriage with one of its members, whose property he attempted to dispose of, and threatened her brother's life. He has also imposed on a jeweller to the a mount of $18, and a tailor $G0. The elder Dr. Lyman Abbott, as he passed in this city, is a large man, light complexion, small whiskers on the side of his face, and no upper teeth. The young man, Dr. Henry Abbott, is small, very prepossessing in his appearance, and has dark hair. It is reported that he is engaged to two or three young ladies in this city. Look out for him.
