j:;: r i i PENNSYLVANIA CANAL.
, The interruptions of business upon the
Susquehanna division this season have been
o frequent and Continued as to surprise
every one, and awaken an ardent desire to
lathom'the cause. Breach has followed
treach , in rapid succession. One was
scarcely mended before another occurred ;
or still worse, the same bank gave way that
;had just been patched up. 1 And after all
these breaches have been repaired, and the
long suspended business was beginning to
take life when hops Were entertained
that the canal was likely to be of some use
this season in the midst of the hurry of
the fall trade, the water is again drawn off
to remove some sand bar that have just
been discovered in a level which has been
dry and open to observation half the sum
mer. ' No reason is given why these could
hot have been removed while the other re
pairs were going on ; when no delay would
have been occasioned. It is distressing to
View the number of boats, loaded and emp
ty, now lieing along the line of canal.
Not only is the loss felt by the boatmen,
and those interested in the transportation of
goods, but the whole people are concerned
In the diminution of tolls which is the ne
tessary result of obstruction of navigation.
We should like to have some solution of
all this. There is bad management some
wbere ,; There are careless or incompetent
Officers either fault is equally reprehensi
bleemployed, and the Canal Commission
ers should see to it. The people cannot
afford to have their money wasted or their
revenue decreased. If incompetent men
are employed, they should be discharged at
once. It they are careless, their superiors
are equally censurable. There is a screw
loose somewhere ; probably a half dozen.
If the canal were the property of a compa
ny, all this delay would not have occurredi
but the poor Commonwealth is considered
fair game and will be plucked when her in
terests are not carefully guarded.
tHE BARREL MOVEMENT.
By the last number of the Mining Regis
ter we learn that the Reading Rail Road
Company are about introducing a new style
of coal car upon their road, Wheels with
out spokes are slipped Upon the ends of
Btrong iron barrels, in which the coal is se
cured and rolled to market. Bumpers are
to be fastened to the sides of the barrels to
prevent breakage from their collision. The
idea Is taken from the manner of rolling
rice, tobacco, &.c, to market in the South,
over common roads.
The mode in use In the South is to drive
a plug into the Centre of each bead of a
barrel, to which are rigged a couple of sap
lings to serve as shafts. A mule is attached
and the article thus rolled to its destination.'
But - this primitive conveyance is only
used by those who are too poor to afford a
wagon. When a poor fellow has a barrel
of turpentine, pitch or tobacco and no other
means to take it to market, he adopts the
above plan. The barrel generally arrives
in a deplorable condition, especially if the
roads should unfortunately be stony. , It is
never used except In cases ot necessity.
That the rude contrivance of the Southern
backwoodsman should furnish a new idea to
the Yankee is singularly enough, but it Is
not very astonishing when we remember
the recent novel proposition of floating the
coal from Fottsville to Philadelphia in iron
tubes. , . '

KDROPEAN NEWS.
The steamer Europa,lrom Liverpool, ar
rived at New York on the 11th inst. There
is hot much news of moment. Austria
has definitely, settled the political organisa
tion of Hungary. At the head of govern
ment is the Stadl bolder, who is to reside at
Pesth, assisted bya vice-president -and
counsellors. Hungary is divided into five
districts. Each of these is governed by an
6bergespan 1 (lord-lieutenant j 'ni the he
cssary,jassistants..Theoberce8pans . are
subject to the Stadtholder. . Gen..Haynau
has been complimented by the' Emperor
with the grand cordon of the order of St.
Anne. The Austrian press are indignant
at his treatment in London, and justly com
plain that the English ought to be the last
persons to censure cruelty. They remem
ber China, East India and Ireland. An
alarming insurrection has broken out in
Calabria, Italy. At Nicastro the insur
gents attacked and beat the garrison of the
town. Twenty-three of the soldiers were
killed. The iudge and some of the govern
ment officers Were shot. The insurrection
is still spreading, and the government is
much alarmed. On the 1st of January
1851, Poland will be dismembered. It is
to be divided into a number of Russian pro
vinces. Matters in Germany remain as
they were. The Council at Frankfort de-
clare the refusal of the Hessian Diet to
vote the taxes is contrary to the federal
pact and calls on government to collect
them by force. Ten thousand men are be
ing raised to march into Hesse Cassel in
case of emergency. The death of Count
Kalacke, Councill of State is announced.
The armies of Russia, Bavaria and Hanover
are approaching the Hessian frohtler.
There is nothing of consequence doing in
France. It has been determined to sub
mit to the arbitration of the President of
the French Republic the differences be
tween Portugal and the United States
on the subject of the brig Gen. Armstrong
FALSIFICATION OF ELECTION RETURNS
A bold attempt to falsify the election re-
turns, thwart the will of the people and
corrupt the purity of the ballot box, has
just been discovered and frustrated, at Phil
adelphia. A man named Li nil all, an ofii
cer in the Custom House and tool of the
whisrs, was appointed "return clerk." His
appointment induced suspicion, the tally
papers were examined and it was discover
ed that he had altered the figures, decreas
ing the vote in several districts of South
wark, of Horn B. Kneass, district attor
ney, and increased Wm. B. Read's in the
same ratio. This would elect Keed by
small majority. The discovery of this vil
lainy was at once made public, and Lindall
was bound over in the sum of $1500, by
Judge King to answer at the present term
of the Quarter Sessions.
It is but a few days since it was discover
ed that a large number of fraudulent natu
ralization papers had been issued by one of
the Clerks in the Prothouotary's office
This was at once stopped; But no sooner
has one scheme of fraud failed than another
and more infamous one is on foot to defeat
the popular voice. A determination to
carry out their design at all hazards is evin
ced. ' No means however vile, had been
left untried before the election. The im
mense influence of the Custom House had
exerted to the utmost to carry the amalga
mated ticket. But whiggery and nativism
combined were unable to overpower the
democracy. When the votes had been
counted and it was found that Kneass wa,
elected, their efforts did not cease.
creature of the Custom House is selected to
commit the most stupendous fraud that has
ever come to light upon the rights of free-
dom the falsification of the returns. Noth
ing could show in a truer light the charac
ter of the party in Philadelphia. They
stop at nothing however criminal; stoop
to anything, however base They are now
cornered caught. There is no loop hole
by which they can creep out. The net is
thrown completely over them. The wretch
ed tool employed to carry out their criminal
designs will soon expiate his offence. It is
to be hoped that he will expose his ac
complices in this work of villiany. It is
a crime which aims a fatal blow at the
heart of our institutions. The ballot box is
the palladium of our liberty and when its
purity is sullied and its sacred character
desecrated we are no longer safe.

Philadelphia, Oct. 16, 1850. f
The announcement a few days since that
Jenny Lind would give two' concerts in this
city this week, on Thursday and Saturday
evening has caused tb little excitement
She is to sing in the Chesnut Street Theatre,
which will not hold more than two thousand.
Tickets will therefore, necessarily be high,
ranging, probably, from three to twenty dol
lars, and averaging probably from $5 to $7
each. The first ticket will bring a higher
price here than in either of the places she
hag been. There ate a number of persons in
this city as well as elsewhere, who' have
more money than brains, and who are wil
ling to purchase notoriety at almost any price,
However, Genin, the New York hatter, who
paid $225 for the first ticket, has made a
good opeiation. His store is thronged with
customers to see the man who dared to buy
a ticket at such a price. He never went to
hear Jenny sing, but stuck up his ticket in
the window, as a sign. Dr. Jayne the patent
medicine man, and Mr. Shepherd the tailor
are said to be rivals for the first ticket, which
will be sold to-morrow. They have both
made fortunes, and Shepherd says he will run
it up to a thousand dollars. '
The Franklin Institute opened on Tuesday
and makes a better display than on any pre
vious occasion. There is a steam engine on
the first floor that drives a great deal bf ma
chinery, brought there for exhibition. '
' The election returns for Congress and State
Senators as well as amendments,' were look
ed for with much interest. I regret that
Ross, McLanohan and Dimmick, were not
left at home. Their vote against the tariff
was not overlooked. Ross ran about four
hnndred behind the democratic ticket, and
was beaten in his own county, (Bucks,) and
was only saved by a small maj -ity in Le"
high. ; ; .
McLanahan was also considerably behind,
Even in old Berks, J. Glancey Jones came
near being beaten by Gen. Wm. II. Keim a
wing, i ne narrow escape no made was
probably owing to tho pledge he gave to go
for a modification of the tariff of 1846. Many
of tho districts have been exceedingly close.
Drum, it appears, is elected State Senator
from tho Clarion district by a majority of
only ten votes over Judge Meyers, the tariff
candidate. This district usually gives over
one thousand of a democratic majority.
The Senate will therefore stand 17 demo
crats and 16 whigs. The vote on the amend'
ment is somewhat singular; Some counties
have gone unexpectedly, largely against the
amendment, and some as unexpectedly for
them. They have carried by a large ma
jority. The road to avoid the inclined plane
is completed, and cars were sent over it on
Monday .last. This will be a great conveni
ence as well as saving to the state.
The election of Mr. Gamble to Congress
by so large a majority seemed to create some
surprise, as the district had been in a mea
sure looked upon as a whiz district. Five of
the villians who robbed the Baltimore mail
as it was leaving Philadelphia, on Saturday
night last, have been arrested. One of the
party disclosed the facts. The penalty is
death for robbing the mail.

TER1BLE SLAVE EXCITEMENT IX
DETROIT.
The slave excitement continues. The jail
is well guarded by our military, who are un
der regular army discipline. The negroes
around the city are uttering awful threats
At Sandwich, in Canada, opposite Detroit,
there arej at the least calculufiort, three hun
dred negroes, who lately crossed the river,
and it is dangerous for a cili.en from here to
be seen among them. The house of an Irish
man, who informed bf the negro fugitive now
in jail, was attacked last night, and guns and
pistols were fired by both the assailants and'
those inside, and some blood shed. A large
meeting has been held by the friends of free
dom, at which the mayor presided. Speech
es were made by Hon. S. Bingham, Maydr,
and Messrs. Joy and Emmons; Some persona
autieipate trouble when the negro is out; he
is now awaiting his paper; A subscription
has been raised sufficient to purchase his
liberty, should he be sent back. ; ;

says: , '
"The express rider from Austin brings in.
telligence that a council of the Indiau tribes
has recently been held, and that the prairie
tribes have formed an alliance to make a gen
eral war upon our settlements; The Kio
ways on the frontier of Sante Fe; we are in
formed, are among our most bitter enemies.
The Camanches have also joined the hostile
league. - General Brooke has sent expresses
to all Ihe millitary stations, warning the com
mandors to be prepared for the emergency."
The trading houses oh the Lano and Bra
zos were broken up about the. 15th ult., and
the traders have removed within the settle
ment. A.derman was lately killed within
sight of the trading house of Cof; Craig Llano,
and several horses were stolen at the feme
lime. The Indians who committed this mur
der were Camanches.

FROM TEXAS.
A public meeting was held at San Augus
tine, on the 7th ult., to act upon a resolution
offered at a previous meeting, approving of
the act of the Texas Senators In voting for the
Pearce bill. After considerable disousaion, a
series of resolutions was offered as a substi
lute. One of these resolutions condemned
the Pearce bill another declared that the
boundary of Texas as declared by the law of
1836, must be respected another that for a
valuable consideration the people of Texas
might dispose of their territory north of 84
deg. 6 m. that south of that line it might be
conquered, but never purchased another of
the resolutions declared that if the late mes
sage of Mr. Fillmore was intended to inti.
midate, it has failed of its object another
declares a strong attachment to this Union,
but a stronger attachment to the State of Tex
as. Ihe question was Upon the adoption ot
these resolutions as a substitute for the resolu
tion approving of the vote of our Senators on
the Pearce bill. "When the motion was put,"
says the San Augustine Herald, "a division
was called for and the substitute received and
adopted by a large majority."
INTERESTING FROM HAVANA.
By a slip received to-nigh from the Charles
ton Courier, we learn that the steamer Isabel,
with dates from Havana to the 8th instant,
had arrived at that port. Another excitement
existed in Havana in consequence of a rumor
that six thousand men were preparing in tho
United States, under General Lopez, to make
another invasion upon the Island of Cuba.
The soldiers were kept sleeping on their arms,
and Ihe Navy was in the best possible defen
sive condition.
The Captain General, mustering themilita,
had caused them to be disbanded. This
created much dissatisfaction between the
Captain General and the people. The rumor
is supposed to have originated by sugar spe
culators, with the object of bringing down
the price of sugar. '
The cholera has broken out in the Southern
part of the Island, and was dealing fatality
among the negroes. Ledger.
