Her Majesty, in her speech, ays, that all the relations of the Govern ment with foreign powers are of the most ' friendly character, and refer to the probable completion of a treaty between Germany and Denmark. She calls the attention of Parliament to the recent outrages in Ireland, and promises attention to their more effectu al suppression. She also alludes to the satis factory stale of the publio revenue, and in conclusion directs the attention of Parlia mentary representation and the abolition of the income tax. In the House of Commons, Sir Benjamin Hall asked for an explanation with regard to the causes of Lord Palmerslon's resignation. Lord John Russet immediately replied, that Lord Palmerston was refractory, and treated the Queen's interrogatories with disrespect, and acted independently of his colleagues, unreservedly approving of the recent illegal covp d'e tat of Louis Napoleon. Lord Palmerston replied at considerable length, which, though denouncing his late colleagues, did not improve his own position. Ha paid a willing and merited eulogium to the character of the American Minister at London. FRANCE. French affairs are quiet. The Abbe Li cordier and M. Laersdiere, two of the most popular Fiench preachers, had received or ders to leave France. A Paris letters slates that Government spies were present at all social festivals. The electoral law had been published, de claring univerral suffrage. All Frenchmen, aged twenty-one, possessing civil and politi cal rights, are electors. All electors aged twenty-five are eligible as representatives. The number of deputies are to be 361. Al geria and the Colonics are not to be entitled to send deputies. Each department is to send one deputy for 35,000 electors. Jerome Bonaparte, ns President of the Senate, has a salary of 350,000 frs. yearly. SPAIN. On the 2d inst., ns the Queen of Spain was taking her first ailing after her ac couohment, on her way to church, an assas sin fired a pistol at her Majesty, tho ball taking effect in the Queen's shoulder. The assassin was immediately arretted and con veyed to prison. The wound proved slight, and at the last accounts the Queen was fast recovering from its effects. FOnEIGN INTELLIGENCE. The European papers furnish the follow ing item of intelligence : The Austrian Government have forbidden the importation of the English bible into Hungary. The firm of "Rothschild Brothers," con sisting of Anselm Meyer Rothschild at Frankfort, Solomon Meyer Rothschild at Vi enna, Jame Meyer Rothschild at Paris, and Charle Meyer Rothschild at Naples, has has been prolonged till the end of June, 1852 J then a meeting of the family will be held to decide upon it further continu ance. The Journal det Debatt says, that Mr. Webster' speech at the Kossuth banquet contained many things that seem very strange, from the point of view of right and nf history. The Journal thinks the speech was an electioneering manoeuvre. A document has been published, showing that in one shape or other the Duke of Wel lington has received 2,613,675 of the pub lio money, including interest on 760,000 Parliamentary grants. His Grace now holds sis public offices, the pay for which amounts to 8365 15s. per annum. NEW COUNTERFEITS. A new counterfeit ten dollar note of the Hariisburg Bank, we understand, has made its appearance, it is said to be well calcu lated to deceive, though, as we have not seen it, wa cannot give any patticular de scription.

The person capable of such an act, would be dangerous in the Neighborhood of a hen roost. WASHINGTON'S BIRTH DAY, Coming on Sunday this year, was cele brated on Saturday and Monday according to circumstances. The Company of Ar tillerists of this place, paraded on Saturday, and the Guards on Monday following. The members showed their contempt of the -'horrors of war," and gave most stick ing proof of their valor, by marching through mud that would have mired an or dinary Mexican army. On Tuesday even ing, Mr. Eckert's Dancing Class, gave an entertainment in the Court House, where a number of the "old and young" enjoyed themselves in Cotillions, Polkas, Mazour- kas, etc. The refreshments were served up by Miss Ann C. Morris, of the Lawrence House. NORTH BRANCH CANAL. When at Northumberland a few days since, we observed a call lor a meeting, to be held at the Town Hall, on Friday even ing, to adopt measures for the speedy com pletion of the North Branch Canal. We look upon the early completion of this im provement as a most important measure, and one that has been most grossly neglect ed by the legislature. For the interest, and for the character of Pennsylvnia, we trust the whole line will be completed without further delay. We have no local feelings or interests in this matter, but the State has a deep interest in its prompt and early completion. SINBIBV ASD ERIE RAIL ROAD. The city of Erie has subscribed t-300,- 000 to the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road. -Erie county will, no doubt, also subscribe liberally. Lock Haven, by an almost unanimous vote, has agreed to subscribe $20,000, and recommends a subscription of $100,000 by Clinton county. From thence on the whole route to Erie, every County will subscribe most liberally, as every dollar worth of real estate, will be enhanced fully one hundred per cent in value. Lycoming county, will no doubt also subscribe liberal sum. Northumber land county also feel a deep interest in this great enterprise, but our citizens are more directly interested, at present, in the early completion of the Rail Roads to Harrisburg and Pottsville, both of which are, in fact, extensions of the Erie Road, and must and will be made before the Erie Road is completed. . Q7 Square Pianos ot a small size have lately been invented, which promise to su persede the unworthy ill shaped grand pi anos. Tbt strings are made to croa each other and thus take op let room. UNION COUNTY. Our whiz friends of this Countv are as unharmonious and as savaee as ever in their feuds. An attempt was made ot a late meeting at New Berlin, to pass a resolu tion reading our old friend Gutelius, out of the party, but Mr. Gutelius. the Times says, turned the tables upon his awsilants, and came nigh puttine them ion Ju com bat, w hen friend Miller succeeded in soft ening down the rage of the combatants by pouring oil on the troubled waters, and Mr. Casey, alter some further remarks, in duced them to lay the resolution on the ta blethus making a draw game? out of the battle.

The types are terrible thins, and are answerable for a great many sins, and and yet, like the worst malefactors mav be. sometimes, unjustly accused. But it is their lot to sutler under the pressure of a ereater amount of calumny, untruth, lie, oil and lamptiiack, than would destroy nine-tenths of all the corrupt and incorrupt politicians ot the last century, and yet in their blackest mood they leave a fair and lavorable im- presiion, whilst, a little lie, well put on, win restore their face to its accustomed brightness. 05 Collateral Inheritance Tax. This tax is a source of considerable reve nue to the State, and in large estates it amounts to a handsome sum. On Monday last, Daniel Brautigam, Esq., one of the Executors of John Porter, Esq., deceased, late o( Northumberland, paid to the Regis ter of this County, $2,300, it being 5 per cent on ?-t5,000, the amount thus far paid out by the Executors. The whole amount the Slate will derive from this estate alone, will be about $3,000. THE SPANISH COM SIX. The reception of the Spanish Consul at New Orleans, a few days since, on his re turn to that city, was any thing but flatter ing. The authorities could scarcely keep the rowdies and fillibusters from makinan attack upon him. As it was, he landed amid groans and hissing. The British Con sul who was present fared but little better, and escaped in his rarriage.The whole proceeding is disgraceful to the city. KF" Foreign Iron. About thirty mil lions of dollars have been sent abroad to pay for iron imported into the United States. Thus our California gold mines are swal. lowed up by the Wealthy English Iron Masters, while our own furnaces are left standing idle. This may be "free trade" but it is far from being "profitable trade" to Americans, excepting to the importers, if they should happen to be Americans. E7 Sklf Oiling Clocks. These are a new article, the manufacture ot which have been commenced near New Haven, Con necticut. Barnum it is said is interested in the speculation. Therefore we have a right to presume the oil used is the oil of palms. LIFE IN WILLIAMSPORT. Colonel Carter, in the Lycoming Demo crat, gives a glowing account of the pro gress of civilization in Wiliiamsport. Ac cording to the Colonel, turkey suppers, and "happening in" are almost as com mon as a greasy mouth in sausage time. Gentlemen now appear in black, and la dies in something more costly than shil ling mousseline de laines and ten cent calicoes, as in days gone by. Instead o brass breast pins well burnished, the ladies now sport the pure metal. All this, the Colonel attributes, to the lumber business, California gold, and to the rail roads in perspective. This encourages trade, agri culture and manufactures, as is abundantly proved by the following, furnished by the Colonel himself, from actual observation. Nd many evening neo we had a social chat with a lady who hid on her person tip wards of $400 worth of dry good and jew elry. A valuation is merely relative, we hull endeavor to redure the rost of this lady's peiipatetio wardrobe into tha agricul tural currency of this region : Cost of dress, stlk, 60 bushels of Wheat Worked collar, S bushels nils toes Under sleeves, 32 Ihs. of butter Gloves, 8 dozen egg I.ace hdkf. 3 b. dr'd poaches Fincer rinrs.

A vote was taken on Monday, by the citizens of Lock Haven, on the question of subscrip tion by the borough of $20,000, and. by thP. count of $100,000, to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad. The result was fortbe sub scription 102, again rt it 8. NEW BILL FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF I THE PCBLISJ WORKS. I Senator Muhlenberg, of Berks county, has introduced a bill for the future manage ment of our public works. It is a most im portant measure, and would, if properly carried into effect he the means of saving to the Commonwealth an immense sum of money. We have long thought that some other mode of managing the public works should he adopted, and if possible, place it beyond the reach of politics. The patron age of the public work is now far preater than that of the Governor. The following is a short summary of the bill introduced by Mr. Muhlenberg. The first section provides for the election of a Secretary of Internal Improvements, at the next Fall election. The second section regulates the details of the election . The third section fixe the term of office at three years, from the second Tuesday in February next, and make the salary $2500 per annum. The fourth section provides that the Secre tary shall bo removed for a misdemeanor in office, on the address of a majority of each House, ami declares that any vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the Government, confirmed by the Senate, until tho next Gen eral Election. The fifth section provides t lint the Serrela ry shall have the entire management of the publio works. Tha seventh section provides that the Gov ernor shall appoint a Civil Engineer for three years, subject to the coiifirmntiun of the Sen ate, as Chief Eneineer of the Publio Works, at a salary of $2,500 per annum. The ninth section provides for the appoint ment, by the Secretary, of a principal clerk( at a salary of J 1500 per annum, and defines his duties. The tenth section provides for the appoint ment by tho Secretary of a Kevemie Clerk, at a like salary, whose especial duty shall be the consideration and arrangement of tolls, and defines his other duties. The eleventh section obliges every incor porated company to furnish copies of their rates of toll for the ensuing year. The twelflh section provides for the pro per examination of all voucher and bills; requires monthly reports from each superin tendent ami supervisor. The twentieth section abolishes the pre sent Board of Canal Commissioners, so soon as the Secretary is installed in otffce, and provides that a Canal Commissioner shall not be elected next fall. the TAnirr. The Muncy Luminary finds fault with Mr. Gamble for voting against the resolu tion of Mr. Welsh, of Ohio, on the subject of the tariff". Mr. Gamble was perfectly right in the matter. Mr. Welsh's resolu tion stood no chance of being passed and was calculated to do more harm than good. The committee ol ways and means are opposed to the proposed modification of the tarifTof 1S4G, and the action of the House will have to be independent of that committee. The friends of the measure will have to act with caution and in con cert. When the proper time comes, Mr. Gamble will, no doubt, be "right side up." 7" Our neighbors of the Miltonian im ngine that we have said something about their town being submerged, and there upon read us rather a rude lecture upon cold water privileges, &c. We are cer tainly ignorant of our offence, and fear that our neighbors had something stronger than cold water before their eyes, when they indited that article. C7" New Subscribers. We are much indebted to a friend in the lower end of the County, for a valuable list of subscribers, for which he will accept our thank. His request ha been attended to. C7" The Berks County Press, appropri ates nearly a column of our labors, an ab stract of the Maine Liquor Law, without the usual credit. How is that Mr. Press ! The Telegraph is now being ex tended from Vera Cruz to Mexico, about 150 miles are finished and doing a good business. It U to be extended to the Pacific. Advertising. The Boston Journal fur niflies a striking illustration of the benefits of liberal and judicious advertising It is from the cash book of S. S. Houghton, a dry goods dealer in Boston. From- Deo 17, 1751, to Jan. 12, 1852, his sales without advertising, were $1712 19, an aveiage of S75 a day. At the end of that time, he commenced advertising, and up to the 7th of February, expended one hundred dollar in making hi business known through the newspapers. At that time, his sales had reached $7000 00, an average of $304 35 a day. There is very little danger that that man will give up advertising. Ths Competency ot Withrmcs -The question whether parties in interest should be excluded from the witness-stand, is about lo be brought before the Legislature of New York. That body, having the enlightened experience of the English Courts lo guide it, will doubtless remove the present disqualifi cation which makes the parties who must neoessarily have the best knowledge of tha oircumstanoe involved in the issue, incom petent to testify to the facts. In Ihs ordina ry transactions of life, wo take every man,s representations of facts, no matter how much interested he may be, and give them their proper weight according to the degree of credibility he is entitled lo. The result is generally a correct judgment. In courts of law, where lbs witness is pat to s searching investigation, and every word which fall from him is closely scrutinized, the credibility of lbs ritnes i much more readily established, and successful perjury is i tendered almost Jinp'veKibts. THE CONOR ESSIONAL APPORTIONMENT BILL. The following bill, districting the State for member of Congress, has been introduced into the State Legislature : 1st 'District.

C rrnapoiiiteiice of the Pliila. Istlgr r. LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, Feb. 22 The tariir will again be brought forward, with certain judicious amendments proposed by Senator James, of Rhode Inland, ciich as do not conflict, either with the ad valorrm principle of the tariff of 1846, or with the Democratic principles of taxing luxuries and removing the duties on necessaries. The subject is now seriously mooted in the Com mittee of Ways and Means, and there is a strong probability that we shall have a re port on llm subject that will biing it legiti mately before the House, It is probable that a concession will be made to the Western and Southern Slates, who are now engaged in building railroad, in favor of tail road iron, for a limited peri od, anJ I believe they will be satisfied by such a bonus to their internal improve ment. Congress begins to feel that it cannot plead mum to the great questions which now agitate this country. Observer. Kossuth anb the Ladies. Cinn'miofi, Feb. 19. The Ladies' Hungarian Associu lion met to-day at the Burnet House, eight hundred in number, for the purpose of wait ing upon Kossuth.

To D. L. Miller, Jr., President Sir : 1 take groat pleasure in Informing you that the resolutions sent here, asking this city to loan its credit to the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road for three hudred thousand dollars( have been unanimously adopted by the peo ple and unanimously passed by the Council jttst ns sent. Yours, respectfully, TIIOS G. COLT, Mayor. The following letter was read, showing the enormous business that may be expeeted from the Lakes by this Road : Just now I was told by some of the most influential memebers of the New York nnd Erie Boaid, lhat they would have no objec tion to the building the Sunbury and Eiio Road, if it could be postponed six years. This is selfish, for it has been fairly tested lhat tho New York and Erie Road is not competent to do the business required this winter, nnd the Company are now making arrangements to make one hundred miles of double track this year. Our Road, from Erie to New York Slate linp. since it has been opened, has passed over it daily, from two to four hundred of through passengers, and the business is daily on the increase. Now while writing, there aie three bundled down passengers goinu to the cars, bound for Dunkirk. Within four or five weeks this will double. Yon must bear in mind this is the dullest part of the yenr. Since our road has commenced., wo have had al one time over three hundred tons of dow u-fieight waiting shipment, and the N. York and Eiie Road sending word to hold on, for they had more than they rold for ward. There are at Dnnkiik ten thousand bhl. of Flour landed nt that plane, just now. bound for N. York, not shipped yet. Every warehouse, barn, and Kied, in tho nriph- borhood of the road, is filled with freiyht, waiting shipment. Our good this winter have been fioin 3 lo 5 weeks from N. York here. We are now waiting for the opening of the road to Buffalo. Here we are Mi the dullest part of the year, with seventy miles of cartage to the Ohio road, nnd now earn, ing enonh to make our road ten pur cent, stock. When it is earned west, travel will be doubled, and freight tenfold. Where is the Sunbury and Erie road T We want it nov. As no election was held or required, we presume this relHrs lo the action of public meetings, or to the well-known unanimity of the popular sentimen'. in favor of this great enlerpiise.

TEMPKitAKcr. IN New York The Tem perance Banquet, so long lalked of in New Yoik, was given on Wednesday night, the 25th ins!., at Metropolitan Hall. It appears to have been a large and enthusiastic assem blage. General Samuel Houston was pre sent ond made n speech in favor of lemper nnce. The other speakers, Hon. Horace Mann, Rev, John Chambers, of Philadelphia P. T. Bainum, Rev. H. W. Beecher, all went for the adoption of the Main Law. Hon. Neal Dow, Mayor of Portland, ami the au thor of the "Main Law," also spoke. Pre vinusly, the gold medal, prepared for pieseu tation to Mr. Dow, was presented in due form by Gen Houston, on behalf of the National Temperance Society. There were over 1500 persons present. Gen. Scott An OrrER Declined. The New Oi leans Delta is responsible for a story which it tells of General Scott, who, when in the city of Mexico, after its capture, was offered by several of the wealthiest citizen of the Mexican republic to be made Piesi dent of that country; anil, as an inducement lo the offer, they bound themselves lo settle upon him the sum of one million of dollai. The Delta says : "The splendid offer was declined by the General, wilh scarcely a moment's consider, alion. The brave old soldier could not be tempted by such inducement to abandon ih flag under which he had achieved o ninoh renown nd honor." This is the first intimation which has ever been given of such an offer. The story requires some other endorsement of it truth. Increase or Ocean Postage.
