)C 3cffcvsonia, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1355. jggr We were informed yesterday, by a friend, that he had received a letter from Senator Walton, stating that the Veto Message of the Stroudsburg Bank Bill, would he called up in a day or two, and that there was a very fair prospect of passing the bill by a two third vote. We hope that such may be the case, and that the Legislature will consent to jtho pass age of the bill. There is not a com munity in the State, who stand more in need of banking facilities, than the people of this County do.

The Washington correspondent of the Now York Courier y who is generally rcli :.ble, says that there "is no longer any reasonable doubt that serious discussions are in progress in the Cabinet, relative to the course to be pursued towards Cuba, and that Colonel Davis, Secretary of War, aud Mr. Dobbin, Secretary of the avy, are represented to be in favor of im uediate and decisive measures. Also, that President Pierce inclines towards their policy." It is further stated that the South t ru ad vocates of immediate annexation de 'lare that now is the most favorable mo laeut for striking a blow that has occur led for many years, or that can be hoped or during many more, inasmuch as the Naval Allies of Spain are fully engaged the war of the East. The National i' igticcr, which is not apt to take the -arm without sufficient cause, speaks of "u. desperate game on foot for party or mercenary objects, or both combined, in to-operation with foreign malcontents, v.hich, unless promptly frowned down by . :-ourid American sentiment, will be push ( i von to the plunging of the counlij into war."

At the trial of a butcher named Jenk ins, in Brooklyn, for selling "plated veal," a witnes named Pfesinsrcr, testified as fol lows : I can produce a burg who cooked woman in Williams-J teaks out from the thigh of the pirate Gibbs, who was hung, and the people ate and pronounced them the finest they ever ate, being under the impression that it was iinal. tne ilesi t 1 St ol an an- Mr. Pessincr, in explanation of the broiling ot the hesh ol bibbs, said it was at a hotel in the Bowery, kept by the hus band of the woman referred to, at an af fair called a 'Tackle," in which every person participating contributed some ar ticle of food to be prepared for the dinner This place was a resort for medical etu dents, and the body of Gibbs having been handed over to the medical faculty for dissecting, a wag of a student conceived the idea of playing off a joke upon some of the participants at the "Tackle." He accordingly procured some slices of the remains of the pirate, which were cooked and passed of? as the flesh of some ani mal. J hose who partook pronounced it most delicious. Pcssinger attended one of these "Tac kles" in hie earlier days, where part of a j dog was nicely cooked and served up; the meat was highly praised by all who par took, and it set nicely upon the stomach until the joke leaked out,and then it would not stay down. Eemarkable Case of Petrefaction. Nine years ago, a man about the age of sixty yoars, and weighing about two hundred pounds, named Vaughan, re moved into the Northern part of Middle sex, about eight miles from Montpclier, and a short time after died of the dropsy and was buried near his own residence.

The corpse was weighed at Montpelier and the weight found to be 550 lbs! What makes the case the more remark able is the fact, that tho corpse of a girl, buried by the same side of the man. was almost wholly consumed, only the princi pal bones remaining.

Wo have already had partial acconnts of a terrible earthquake upheaval, as ge- Q0.ysis W0lIu cal it at Broussa, in A ...mi in i i. i.n. siauc aurKcy. uonsianuuopie iciwr, "M 1. Oil, uaiuu -uaiu uluj BaJ "The accounts from Broussa are terri- ble. Such a long-continued convulsion of Nature has hardly been heard of in the history of the world. The earthquake had lasted five days, and shocks were of constant occurrence when the last news left. The great shock of the 28th of Fcb- ruary destroyed a part of the town, and killed or maimed nearly three hundred of the inhabitants. Although the shocks wcre only felt at Constantinople during the two days, they lasted at Broussa for f0Ur succeeding days, not without causing serious damage to the already shaken houses. The commencement of the con- vulsion was nreceded bv torrents of ram. which lasted more than twenty-four hours accompanied by a high wind and occasion al thunder. At 3 o'clock the skv became suddenly overcast, a strong smell of sul phur was perceived, and the first shock took place, which in less than a minute overthrew mosques, houses, and bazaars m one vast rum. "Nearly eighty mosques have been so much in ured that their speedy fall is ex pected, while not one m the whole city Mias escaped some damage.. The khans 0r large buildings which served cither as inns or placeB for transacting business are mostly injured, and five of them were completely destroyed, crushing scores o their unfortunate inmates. The bazarrs with their heavy arches, are flat on the ground. The ancient mosque of Davoul ion Monastir, a Greek ecclesiastical edi fjce, sajd to be 1,200 years old, isunhap pjjy destroyed. Another mosque, the Ou iou jejuni, a fine building bUU years old 1S also a mass of rums, it was the chie ornament of the city, and the most splen did rclicious edifice of the days when Broussa was the capital of the young and growing Ottoman empire. Materialists may, however, still more regret dostruo tion which has fallen on the silk factories 0f which scarcely one has escaped withou damage, while the number of women who have lost their lives by the fall has been verv larTo "Large masses of rocks were detached - i r from their beds, and came crashing down thesides of Olympus into the neighborhood 0f the town.

The President in Earnest about Cuba An Apology will be Insisted -on War Probable. The President really has determined to make a; demonstration airainat Snain at last. The selection of Commodore McCaulcyto command the Gulf Squadron, is significant, and the rumors of an increase of the squadron, which I gave you some time since arc all confirmed. As strong a naval force as can be spared for the pur pose has been ordered to cruize in the neighborhood of Cuba, in the track of our steamers, and future insultsNto our flag seem likely to be promptly addressed. It seems that not only El Dorado and the Daniel Webster have been brought to on the high seas by Spanish cruisers with in the last month or two, but the Illinois also was served the same way not long ago. She did not report the fact, how ever such outrages, without atonement, having become too common to be deemed in the estimation of her officers, worthy of notice. There will be trouble with Spain soon, unless, with the usual pusillanimity of m solent imbecility, she tumbles to her knees at the first exhibition of spirit on the part of the United States. Prompt atonement will doubtlcas now be made for the out rages upon the El Dorado and the Dan iel Webster. But they will be repeated doubtless in thc cases of other vessels The Spanish Naval Commanders, rejoicing in this opportunity of indulging their ha tred of os Yankees, will doubtless insist that they cannot perform their duty with out firing a shot at our passing steamers and pursuing their insulting search. They will probably, thereforo, quite disregard Concha's frightened exhortations to great er propriety; but the next time a Spanish cruiser brings to one of our mail steamers on thc high seas, it is intended that a U. S. war vessel shall be near enough to par ticipate in the entertainment by pouring her broadside into the Spaniard forthwith. Mark the truth of this. The instructions to McCauley will confirm what I say when ever they aro made public. Such a dem onstration will make an issue not to be evaded ; and we shall then learn the true character of the secret protectorate of Spain maintained by England and France. What a capital privateer fleet our Cuban Fillibusters would fit out in the event of a war with Spain arising out of these e vents. Mr. Marcy is very backward about go ing into this businoss ; so is Mr. Cushing. Messrs. Guthrie and McClelland are also understood to oppose extreme measures. But tho President has acted on his own impulses, although Mr. Davis and Mr. Dobbin warmly approve his course. Amendments tathe Constitution. The resolutions proposing certain im portant amendments to the constitution, passed the Senate by a large majority. The first proposition relates to the public debts of the Commonwealth and provides that the aggregate amounts of debts here after contracted bythe Commonwealth shall never exceed five hundred thousand dollars, except incase of war, to repel in vasion, suppress insurrection, or to redeem the public debts of the Commonwealth and the money so raised shall be applied to the purnose for which the debt may b contracted, or to pay such debts, and to no other purpose. It is further provided, that to pay the public debt of the Commonwealth, and debts which may hereafter to be contrac ted, in case of war to repel invasion, to suppress insurrection, and to redeem the public debt, the Legislature shall at their next session, after the adoption of this section into tho Constitution, provide by law the creation of a sinking fund which shall not be abolished till the said public debts be wholly paid, to consist of all the net annual income from the public works and stock owned by tho Commonwealth, or any other tunds arising under any rev enuc law now existing, or that may hi hereafter enacted, so far as thc same may be required to pay the interest of said debts, semi-annually, and annually, to re duce the principal thereof by the sum not less than five hundred thousand dollars, increased yearly by compounding at thc rate of not less than five per centum ; the said sinking fund shall be invested in the loans of the Commonwealth, which shall be cancelled from time to time in a man ner to be provided by law. No portion ot the sinking tund shall ever be applied to the payment of the debt of five hundred thousand dollars, mentioned in the first section of this article, but tho said sink ing fund shall be applied only to thc pur pose herein specified. I he credit of thc Commonwealth shall not, in any way, be given or loaned to or in aid of any individual company, corpo- 'anon or association, nor shall the Uom monwealth hereafter become a joint own er or stockholder in any company, asso ciation or corporation, in this Common wealth, or elsewhere, formed for any pur jjuai.-. nit) ommonwcaiin snail never assume thc debts of any county, city, bo rough or township, or of any corporation or association, unless such debt shall have been contracted to repel invasion, sun press insurrection, or to dofend thc Stato in war. lac second proposition relates to municipal subscriptions, and provides ii .i i) i i. ... . tuai tne legislature shall never authorize any county, city, borough or township, by vote of its citizens or otherwise to become a stockholder in any joint stock company, association or corporation, or to raso mon ey for or loan its credit to aid of such oompany or corporation. J heso proposed amendments passed the last Legislature, and if thoy pass tho present one thoy will be submitted to vote ot the people in October next. Good News for Bread Eaters- -Hour from Canada.

A Gentleman from Kiskatom, in the town of-Caskill, has given us the folio w- ng particulars of a most appalling trag edy. On Saturday la3t, John H. Ed- wards, a lad agea nitcen, living in tho family of his uecle, J. W. Hungerford, re quested permission of the wife of Mr. H. to use a double-barreneu gun winch was in the houso, for the purpose of seeking game. Permission being granted they both shortly after left the premises in different directions, when Edward soon returned and commenced breaking open all the drawers and chests, in which ho supposed there was two hundred dollars, which Mr. Ilungerford had received a lew uays previous. Not finding tho mo ney, he loaded tho crun with slues and. shot, and deliberately fired the contents oi one oi the barrels into the breast of his uncle, who by this time had reached' the house. Ilungerford fell, pleading'for life, when the little fiend again presented the gun and snapped it. Mr. II. partial ly recovered and fled, pursued by Ed wards, who again fired with fatal effect. He then returned to the house, placed tho gun in its usual place and escaped from the bloody scene. Little hopes are en tertained of Hungerford's recovery. Since the above was in type, we learn that thc boy Edwards was caught at the oyster saloon of Peter Cyon, Catskill, on Monday last. Ilungerford it is thought will not recover. Several slugs were lodged in his lungs. Coxsackic Union. ' Tlie Yam. There has been introduced into France from China a new species of yam which bids fair to supersede, or at least serve as a substitute for the common potato. It appears to be adapted to the climates of all parts of the United States, growing a vine above ground, and send ing perpendicularly into thc earth large tubers two or three feet in length and half the size of a man's arm. These tu bers aro dry and farinaceous, quite as much so as the potato, and may be used for the sarao purposes. A very small number haye been procured and distribu ted at the Patent Office, chiefly among members of Congress of the several States and Territories. PESILiADJEIjPHKA market. Monday, April 15, P. M.
