' JEHSY L1D'!t CONCERTS PRICE OF
TICKETS, Ac.
vi 'In compliance with the earnest desire of
Mademoiselle. Jenny Lend, Mr. Barnum has
come to the determination of abandoning the
aale of tickets by auction in future, at least
while the concerts are given in Castle Garden,
and to reduce the pricea 26 per cent on the
average, while' one class of seats will be re
duced to $2, and promenade tickets to 81-
As there will be only four concerts more giv-
' ' en in Castle Garden before Jenny Lind sings
in Boston the piesent is an opportunity that
ought to be taken advantage of, for when she
returns she will sing in the Hall in Mercer
street, and the capacity of that building being
so much inferior to that of Castle Garden, the
prices will, in all probability, be higher. It
was stated in the Herald, before Jenny Lind
came to this country, that she determined to
devote the entire 8150,000, to which she is
entitled by her first contract with Mr. Bar
, num, to the endowment of free schools in her
: native country. We learn, upon the best aii-
thority, that she adheres to this determination,
' and that every cent of that sum will be ap
" plied to the noble purposes of education.
; Some of her friends remonstrated with ber
against this extreme of liberality. Her reply
to them was, that she had made provision for
. her parents, had secured a sufficient income
for herself ($6,000 per annum,) and that as
4. she knew not how soon she might Jose her
L voice, she ought to do her duty to her country
' when she hud the power. Who can wonder
' that, independeut of her matchless singing,
: Jenny Lind is the most popular woman in the
world. JV. Y. Herald. '
' Genin's Ticket. There continues to be
r.trong doubts expressed, here and there, as
to the character of the purchase of this 8225
ticket by Mr. Genin. . We, can assure our
. readers, in and out of the city, that it was a
. bona fide sale and purchase, and that but for
i the merest accident in the world, the lucky
- purchaser would have been obliged to go a
good deal higher for the prize.1 ' Pbalom, the
-"Hair lnvigorator" man, entered the Garden
'just as the ticket was struck off at $225. He
had come' prepared to bid up. to $ 1000, and
' actually offered the agent of Genin $300 for
it. The actual purchaser looks upon it as the
most reasonably laid out advertising money
he ever disbursed, and the disappointed ex
pectant thinks foitune treated him very
harshly, in depriveing him of the chance of
aying down his cool thousand for the best
Singer in the world. Express.
- RcsPECTAitLC Bf.ocars. We will add that
we learn with shame, for the credit of our
city, that this generous, noble-hearted crea
ture is besieged by beggars of respectable
appearance. It is not enough that she gave
away 812,000 before she had been here a
fort-night, and that nearly nil of the proceeds
of this engagement aro already devoted by
ber to the foundation "of free school in Swe
den, but she must be importuned by people
who make it a business to worry out of others

THE BODY OF A WOMAN FOUND.
The body of a female, who was most
probably drowned during the late freshet,
was discovered in the Susquehanna, at the
head of Calf Island, about four miles below
this place,' on Sunday last, by Mr. Henry
Burns. An Inquest was held on the body
on the day following, by J. H. Zimmer
man, Esq., of this Borough, who furnished
us with the following particulars :
The body, when discovered, was embed
ded in a pile of drift wood, excepting the
head and shoulders, and one arm. The
woman was an ordinary ized person, and
small features, and very fine light hair;
she bad lost a tooth on the left side, and
two on the right, of the lower jaw, and
two were decayed and broken off, on the
right side, of the upper jaw. The front
teeth were excellent. On the lelt leg,
about half way between the knee and fodt,
there was a scar, apparently bruised and
healed up, of about H inches in length.
The deceased had on a dark barred calico
dress, and was in the last stage of preg
nancy. $J. The Rev. B. W. Morris for several
years Rector ot the Episcopal church, in
this place, has accepted a call from the
church at Manyunk, where he is now loca.

as well as the community part with him.
During his ministry here, he made many
friends, and left behind him no enemies.

man of popular manners and address, and
makes friends wherever he goes.
The election is now rapidly ap
proaching, yet there appears to be but little
excitement in this county, where the ticket
seems to be so well settled, that there can
be no doubt of the success of the demo
cratic candidates.

of Lycoming have nominated a good ticket
this fall. We are pleased to see our old

AW i J f address
To the Democracy of ihe litk Conrretiional
District : The undersigned, conferees repre
senting the several counties composing the
13th congressional district, beg leave to ad-
dross -their political friends upon the impor
tance of the ensuing contest and the great
necessity of redeeming the district from fed
eralism. '. I . . ,
Upon meeting together, we. found that
three of the five counties of the district, con
taining a majority of all democratic voters,
had unanimously instructed their conferees
to support the nomination of JAMES GAM
BLE, Esq., of Lycoming county. Of course,
in obedience lo the expressed will of this
large majority over either, and even both of
the other candidates, we could not but place
him in nomination. We did so, and now ap
peal to every honest democrat in the district
to use every effort to carry -out the wishes of
a majority of our political associates.
In Ihe present distracted state of our glo
rious Union distraction brought about by the
unfortunate success of federalism at the last
presidential election there is a strong pro
bability, amounting almost to a certainty,
that tho next presidential election will be
thrown into tho House of Representatives
If we have a democratic member from tho
13th district we will be reasonably certain of
being abie to cast the vote of Pennsylvania,
for a democratic president, but if this district
is represented by a federal whig the vote of
this slate will certainly be cast for an ultra
whig of the old federal school. Are the
democrats of Ihe district prepared thus to sac
rifice their brethren of the state and the na
tion t We have it in our power, therefore,
in all probability, to save the next democratic
candidate for president from defeat by elect
ing our nominee for congress, and is it pos
sible that we shall be guilty, under such cir
cumstances, of committing political suicide
by electing a federalist?
Mr. Gamble isa man of unblemished repu
tation as a private citizen ; he is an honest,
upright, straightforward democrat, who has
always adhered to tho glorious principles
and usages of the democratic party and his
talents and qualifications are of the most un
doubted character. Such an unexceptionable
candidate we feel confident every democrat
fo the district can cordially support, and we
feel assured all will do so.
We appeal to you, democrats, in the name
of all you hold near and sacred in a political
view by all the patriotism which actuates
democrats for the sake of union and harmo
ny and for the preservation of good will, to
give a united, cordial, energetic, aim enthusi
astic support to the nominee. We can suc
ceed if we will, and in the name of all that
is true and honorable, and fair, let is will
it. WM. A. PETR1KIN, l'resid't

Washington, August 29, 1850.
Gentlemen : I have the pleasure to acknow
ledge the receipt of your letter, inviting me to
attend a public dinner, proposed to be given
in honor of General Henry S. Foole, at War
rentou, ou the 21st instant. I should be
most happy to be able to attend on that in
teresting occasion, as well ou account of the
gratification. I should derive from meeting
many highly esteemed friends of both politi
cal parties, in the county of Fauquier, as to
testify by my presence and assistance to the
very high merits of the distinguished Senator
from Mississippi, Pi ior to the present session
of Congress, I had only a casual and limited
acquaintance with him and I came lo Wash
ington with impressions somewhat unfavor
able towards him. These . have not only
been entirely removed by my personal and
official intercourse with him, but his course
and conduct during this long, protracted,
and arduous session have impressed me with
the conviction that he is an ardent, able, and
enlightened patriot. In the trying scenes
which have passed, and are passing, no one
has surpassed him in firm devotion to that
Union which I believe to be the surest and
best guareniee of all political blessing.
Prompt, ready, and full of information in de
bate, he has sought, with untiring industry
and patriotic zeal to heal and adjust the agi
tations and dissension which unhappily affect
our common country. Such a distinguished
statesmen desrves to be honored and cher
ished everywhere, but especially in that State
which gave him, you, and me our birth re
pectively. I regret that my public duties
here forbid my sharing in the testimony in
tended to be rendered lo him' at Warrentoa.
1 hope that the festival will realize all your
anticipations, and be worthy of the ancient
Dominion, and of ber patriotio son from Mis

Washington Sept. 14, 1850.
SENATE. Mr. Bell, from the Committee
on Indian Affairs reported a bill to preserve
peace with the Indian tribes in California,
which, after an amendment so as to fix the
annual salaries of three Indian agents at three
thousand dollars, was passed '
JAt. Davis, of Miss., from the Committee
on Military. Affairs reported a bill to pro
vide pensions for widows of deceased offi
cers and soldiers not hitherto provided for.
I The President laid before the Senate the
Rev. Mr. Gurley's report on Liberia, com
municated by the Secretary of Stute.
Messrs. Cw inn and Fremont introduced a
number of bii!; for iiit benefit of California!
relating to the public lands, the gold mines
and placers, survey of the coast, a light-house
system, donation and pre-emption rights, and
settlement of land claims. '
After the consideration of morning busi
ness, the bill for the suppression of the slave
trade in the District of Columbia was taken
up on motion by Mr. Clay, Ihe pending ques
tion being upon concurring in the amendment
made by the Senate in committee, providing
penalties for enticing slaves to escape, and
giving the corporate authorities control over
the ingress or egress of free people of color.
Mr. Badger advocated the amendment.
Mr. Hale wanted to know what was to be
come of the free people of color if ejected
from the district? The laws of the Stute of
Maryland on one side, and of Virginia on the
other, prohibited free negroes from entering
those States; where, then, was Ihe ejected
negro to exercise his natural right of breath
ing? Laughter.
Mr. Clay submitted a few remarks against
the amendments. He would vote for proper
and separate measures to carry out the object
of the amendment, but he desired the vole
upon the pending bill upon its own merits.
He desired that measure to pass, as he feared
it would not, if the amendments were re'
tained.
The debate was of considerable length.
After which the amendments of the commit
tee were considerably modified, on motion of
Mr. Badger, fo meet the objections urged by
Mr. Clay and others. Among these latter
was one reducing the penalty for aiding or
inciting a slave to escape, to a period of not
more than five years, which was agreed lo
Yeas 27, nays 18.
Mr. Clay still opposed the uniting of any
other measure with the suppression of the
slave trade.
The question being taken upon concurring
in the amendments of the committee, they
were severally rejected, and the original bill
was then under consideration, as reported
from the committee nl thirteen.
The bill was then ordered to be engrossed
yeas 32, nays 19 as follows :
Yeas. Messrs. Baldwin, Benton, Bright,
Cass, Chase, Clarke, Clay, Davis, of Masss.,

It was discovered that a blank designed to
be filled with the date at which the act
should go into effect, had not been filled.
Mr. Clay hoped it would be filled by unani
mous consent

jected.
Mr. Clay moved a re-considemtion of the
engrossment, which was agreed to.
The blank was then filled with the "first
of January, 1850," and the bill was ordered
to be engrossed.
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE. Mr. Venuble by unanimous con
sent, introduced a joint resolution, authorising
the Secretary of the Navy to furnish certain
metal to Clark Mills, to complete the costing
of his equestrian statute of General Jackson,
which was passed.
Mr. Harris, of Illinois, announced that Al
mon W. Babbitt, delegate from'Utuh, was in
waiting, and moved that he now be admitted
to a sent; but as his credentials were not be
fore the House, Mr. Hairis waived the ques
tion until Monday.
The House then resumed the consideration
of the report of Mr. Richardson, from the
Committee of Inquiry into the affair of the
Secretary of the Interior.
' Mr. Richardson closed the debate in con
demnation of Mr. Ewin's allowance of cer
tain claims; when the question was taken on
the following substitute offered by Mr. Vin
ton, from the minority, for the resolutions of
the majority of the Committee :
Resolved, That iuasmuch as the resolutions
proposed by the Committee do not charge the
Secretary of the Interior with any dime or
misdemeanor, and do not propose any change
of the existing laws, but in effect call upon
the House to review and reverse the decision
of the proper officers of the government, upon
a legal question, affecting private rights, that
the same be not concurred in.
It was agreed to yeas 94, nays 84.
. Mr. Allen moved, but the Huuse refused
to lay the whole subject on the table.
The quesiion was then taken on agreeing
to the resolutions as thus amended by Mr.
Vinton, and was decided in the aiflrmative--yeas
93, nays 90.
Mr. Bayly, from the Committee of Ways
and Means, reported back the bjll appropria
ting support of the Post oifipe Department,
and the Senate amendments were concurred
in.
. Mr. Bayly reported back bills fpr the erec
tion of Custom Houses in Bangor, Cincinnati
and St, Louis J which were referred to the
Committee of the Whole on Ihe State of the
Union. 1 - v '
Mr. Toombs said that few weeks ago he
was instructed to make a report on the tariff
question, Since that time a great change
bad been going on in the public mind .in
hi own, aiqQJig the rest- and he submitted
JOURNAL.
a report, that in the judgment of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, tt is inexpedient
to attempt any legislation altering the exist
ing dpties on imports.' "'
Mr. Vinton moved as a substitute, that the
Committee of Ways and Means report on
Tuesday next, at the hour of half past eleven,
a bill lo the effect that all foreign goods,
wares and merchandise shall be appraised
according to the average market value in the
principal ports of the United States during the
year ending June thirtieth,' eighteen hundred
and forty-six, under the regulations prescri'
bed by the Secretary of the Treasury, so as
to secure a uniform valuation throughout the
United States.
Mr. Vinton said as this was one of those
propositions which every one unrtersianus,
and as there was no time to discuss it, he
moved the previous question.
Mr. Hall moved a call of the House, which
was not ordered.
The demand for the previous question was
seoonded, ayes, 89, nays 79.
Mj. Phelps moved lo lay the whole subject
on the table. Not carried yeas 93, nays 94.
Mr. Vinton's amendment was rejected
yeas 93, nays 96.
The original resolution, declaring the al
teratinn of the Tariff inexpedient, was disa
greed to. Yeas, 91 nays, 93.
Washington, Sept. 16, 1850.
SENATE. The question on the final pas.
sage of Ihe District Slave Bill came up.
Mr. Benton made a speech, glorifying him.
self on the overthrow of the "Omnibus," and
his own personal triumph. . .
Mr. Clay replied, rebuking his egotism and
expressed his sincere gratification at tho pas
sage of all these measures in any shape. .
Mr. Benton rejoined in some further re'
marks in a similar tone.
His remarks were excited and pungent.
He endeavored to show that he was not re
sponsible for the delay in the adjustment.
Messrs. Foote, Dickinson, Douglass, and
Jefferson Davis followed in characteristic
speeches, which were highly entertaining.
Mr. Mason asked for the yeas and nays on
the final passage, which were ordered, and
the bill passed yeas 33, nays 19.
The bounty Land bill, from the House,
then came up.
Mr. Mangum moved that it be postponed.
Mr. Shields spoke against the postpone
ment. The motion to postpone failing, the Bounty
Land Bill was discussed at length by Messrs.
Shields, Badger, Jefferson D-avis, Cass, Y'ulee,
Dawson and others.
The amendment to include officers and
seamen of the Navy, was adopted, 25 to 21.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Warhincton, Sept. 15.
A strong ellbrt is making to amend the
Tariff of 1846, making the duties spocifio in
stead of ail valorem. The indications on Sat
urday last were that the attempt will pioba
bly succeed in the House, and in that case it
will probably also succeed in the Senate. If
the question could be taken out of politics,
the country would certainly be a gainer by it.
What the man of business wants is not so
much a high or a low Taritr a Revenue Ta
riff, or a Taritr for protection, as a steady and
reliable law which shall give him security
for his labor and investments of capital, what
ever they may be. An indillerent law,
which is fixed, is better than one which is
continually in danger of being upset. It is
probable that every Taritr law requires
amendments every ten years to adapt itself
to the altered condition of Ihe counliy; but
radical reforms are always dangerous, even
when coming in the shape of improvements-
OascavKa.
Washington, 17, 1850.
After the final passage of the bill abolish
;ng the slave trade in the District of Colum
bia, Mr. Benton rose to show that he had
been right in opposing the Omnibus, and
that if seperate bills had been introduced from
the commencement, they would have been
passed long ago. Mr. Clay replied that he
cared not who wns entitled to the most credit
for passing the bills, nor whether this or that
policy would have answered a similar pur
pose. He wanted the measures lo be passed
and the country to be quieted, and he cared
not by what means it was done, or lo whose
glory the result may redound. Mr. Foote
and Mr. JefT. Davis were also drawn into the
controversy. Mr. Foote maintained that but
for the defeat of the Omnibus the seperate bills
would never have been supported It was
the Omnibus which first broke ground, and
subsequently brought such an amount of pub.
lie opinion, and with it such a pressure to
bear on Congress, as to force both Houses in
to the support of the seperate measures, made
against their original resolve. Even at Ihe
last moment the Texas Boundary Bill could
not pass without tacking New Mexico lo it,
and thai had it not been for tyrants in the
Senate, the Omnibus would haVe passed both
Houses, long ago, and become the law of the
land But the tyrant was laid low, and Rom
was free. (This announcement caused quite
a burst of applause ii ths galleries.)
Mr, Jefferson Davis still maintained that
Mississippi will not sustain the course of his
colleague, Penatur Foote J but in this, as in
nearly everything connected with politios,
Mr. Jefferson Davis is mistaken, as he would
be made readily to feel if his election were
lo come off in a few weeks. Foote will un
doubtedly be sustained at home, and will go
down to Mississippi immediately after the
adjournment of Congress, to take the stump
against Gov, Quitman, Ihe nullifying Pon
Quixote and fire eater of that Slate.
. The efforts to amend the Tariff are about
lo be renewed, and with some seasonable hope
of success. There is quite a disposition in
both Houses, on the part of Southern Whigs
and Northern Democrats, to da something
handsome for the Pennsylvania staples. The
Northern Whigs however, are determined
tha,t Pennsylvania shall not be relieved with
out doing something for I ha ootton and wool,
len manufactures, Soma fiva or six Free
Trade Senators are willing to vote for jronnd
coal, with a view to gratify the national and
patrmtlo bearing of tho majority of the poo-
pie oi tbe Keystone Slate. The Southern
Whigs work astonishingly well in Ihe traces .
considering the very litile lime they had for"
drill. . i

Times, sent a reply to tbe latter addressed to

days before i. Jealh. It is added that the

last hours of the unfortunnte prisoner. A dif
ferent letter was prepared by Dr. Putnam,
but it was suppressed.

tariff j also in favor of home protection to
our factories, and the laboring class of peo
pie, more particularly for heavy duties on
iron and coal. I will take my seat unpled
ged, untrammeled and unir.structed in all
other matters and things; to act wholy and
solely on my judgment. I shall make no dis
tiuction between parlies, viewing all equally
alike to the right of suffrage, and well know
ing the pecuniary circumstances of our good
old Key Stone Slate, although it abounds in
mineral wealth, I go in for short sessions, or
less wages lor Ihe benefit of Ihe people ; and
in a political point of view 1 do not approve
of the bargain and sale practice, so general
of late by all parlies, particularly in public
affairs. I shall cast my vote independently
free from all party feelings whatsoever to
the best of my judgment, and for the benefit
of the country at large, leaning always in fa
vor of the poor class of people ; my sincere
thanks to all for or against me.
