SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL. r.iOCItfcDl.HUS, OF I'lllLAUFLl'lilA CITY COUNCIL. Tkunla;) Evening, Feb. 3, 1833. Select Council. Mr. smith called up the following Ordinance, which was offered at a previous meeting ! An Ordinance to authorise a Subscription 0 i the part of ihu C ly to Ihe Capital Slock of the Sunbury nnd Eriu Railroad Company. Section 1. Be it ordained and enacted by the Citizens of Philadelphia, in Seleot and and Common Councils assembled. That ihe Mayor of the Cily be and is hereby uiliori zed to subsciibe, in the name of (he Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens cf Philadelphia, foi ten thousand shares in '.Vie capiml stock of the Sunbury and E.ie Railroad Company, w henever a like tin m bar of shares excepting hll subscriptions now already wade, shall have been tubcribed, in conformity with the provisions of the charter of said Railroad Company! and in like manner for an addi tionul ten thousand shares shall have bsen subscribed as aforesaid by other. Mr. Perkins offered the follow ins amend ment, after tha word "subscribed :" ''No portion of which shall be obtained from any of the counties or boroughs which may have already made subscriptions " The amendment was agreed to. The question on the bil1, as amended, was called up. The yeas and nays weie cal led : j Yens Messrs, Cattell, PulTee, Hulchinsom Perkins, Smith, Thomas, Waterman, and Wctherill (President)-8. Nays Messrs Hagart, Lattc.ist r and Watt -3. The bill was psssed. Common Couscil Council then took np a resolution fiom the other Chamber, provid ing for a subscription to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company of one million of dollars, upon condition of the same amount being olherw tse subscribed, and an additional one million upon the same condition. Mr. Randal submitted an amendment, pro viding that the City shoul.l be represented in the Board of Directors of lha Company, in proportion to the amount of its subscriptions, and advocated its adoption as a matter of right, good policy and of interest to the cily, Mr. Orns expressed the hope that the amendment would be agreed to, coucurri'g entirely in the views of Mr. Randal. Mr. Diehl was decidedly in favor of the main question arid, in discussing the amend, ment, ho held lhat the merits of the original proposition were fair subjects for discussing. Me took strong ground in fnvnr of the sub scription. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad would in his opinion, bring a very large local trade to the city, beside lhat from the Lukes -the latter amounting to one hundred and ninety five millions of dollars ; it would be a dividend paving stock, nnd was in his opir.ion, better than that of the Penns) Ivauia Railroad Company. lie animadverted upon the su pineness of Philadelphia in not taking advan tage of the means of making the cily of Phil adelphia what the ought to be, in influence, power and wealth, the first city of the Union. He spoke of the neighboring cities and States availing themselves of tho trade of the West, and sucuring ihe means of wealth und powei by a spirit of enterprise. Mr. Deihl quoted the adage that 'procrasti nation is the thief of time,' emphatically ad ded that procrastination had been the thief of Philadelphia prosperity. He adverted to Ihe fact thai Philadelphia hud lost a valuable trade with various poi Is in Europe and India, in consequence of her apathy. The time was when seven vessels, richly laden with goods from India, arrived in one tide, and now il would be astonishing to see that number in seven years. He was opposed to the amend' ment, because he thought it would em bar. rsss the proposition. Mr. Randal renewed his advocacy of the amendment. He was out and out in favor of Philadelphia interests, and he believed the course proposed by him would conduce to their protection. Mr. Uriscom was in favor of proposition to subscribe, and although he liked the features of the intendment, he would not vote for it, because it would tend to em bar tats ihe origi nal proposition. Mr. Walborn, i ri quite an energetic speech, advocated the subec.iption. He wanted Philadelphia to show her magnanimity, and to go into the weik with spiiit and determi nation. He said lhat the charter of the Sui bury and Erie Railroad Company, allowed the election of members of Council.", whereas the charter of the Pennsylvania Railroad Compiny, does not. He was opposed lo the amendment, which was calculated to clog and interfere with the original proposition, j Mr. Randal, after an explanation, with drew bis amendment. Mr. Hinman pioposed to amend, by provi ding thai the subscription shall be made by a transfer of the bonds of the Peusylvania Railroad Company hold by the city. After some debate the que.tion was taken and the amendment was lost by a vole of -yeas 2, nays 14. The question then recurring on the first ection of the ordinance Mr. Orne moved as an amendment, an additional section, provi. ding fur an appropriation of one half of one per cent of the iiveome fiom the subscription quarterly, to Ihe sinking fund. Several members opposed it, on the ground lhat at the proper time tbe necena.y meas ure would be Uiea to secure appropriating to the sinking fund. When the amendment as disagreed to. The question was tbea taken en the tesolu. 111)11, UlU II WM fUCU VJ BS lUIIOtt'lllg vote: Yeas Messrs.

No mails were received at this place and Northumberland from Philadelphia, Har risburg, &,c, Irotn Sunday until Thursday last, in consequence of Ihe freshet, which rendered it, perhaps, impossible on one route, and inconvenient on the other. The road along the river to Harrisburg has been, we are informed, somewhat damaged, but between this place and Potlsville, we have heard of no obstacle, excepting the loss o the Uut bridge over the turnpike, at this place, which renders it necessary to go a lew hundred yards out of the way, to get over the rail road bridge. During Monday the communication between this place and Northumberland, though not entirely cut off, was r.ot open for vehicles, but on Tues' day carriages passed between the two p1a ces. But still it was not convenient to car ry the mail, nnd consequently Ihe Haiti' more and Harrisburg mails, due here on Monday morning, were led at Northum berland until Wednesday and the Philadel phia mail, by way of Potlsville, did not ar rive until Thursday. At the next letting of the mail contracts, our citizens will insist, that the clause which is supposed lo exist in th" present con'ract, viz.

It is due to Mr. Polk to sav that I know this to be untrue. Gen. Taylor and myself were both invited to dine wilh him, and did dine with him before he left Ihe While House, arid I have no doubt all the civilities ordinarily extended to Ihe incoming adniiuirtration were extended by President I oik lo Gen. Taylor, and according to my recollection, he did not leave Ihe While House till the 4ih or ralher the 5th of March which was Monday. The confusion incident to the close of a session of Congress, and Ihe oreahing up 0f houaekeeping by the Presi dent's family, must necessarily pieveul any i .esiuent trom doing more lhan Mr. Polk did in the case of Gen.

D The first Section ol the Cattawissa Railroad, about four and a half miles in length, including the tunnel, connecting the extension of the Little Schuylkill Rail road, has been allotted to Messrs. John S. Boyer, Jacob Geiger, John W. Horton and Henry Berkholder, Contractors. CO" The Miltonian says that some of the contractors on the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road, have commenced work between Mil ton and WilTamsport, and that all the hea vy sections would be commenced this week. Since the subscriptions have been made there is no longer any doubt of the speedy construction ot the whole road. 3 The late sudden rise in the Susque hanna, seems to have, in some degree in undated a portion of most of the towns along the Susquehanna. The Harrisburg papers state that the rail road and a portion of the town was under water, which was also the case with the lower portion of Williamiport. Simpson icceived all tho iniuiies that were inliieted upon him. It is not true as some of I Iho nowspapers have staled, that William struck his kuifo into the door, and used vin- ! lent and threatening language. I never knew J him lo be iu liquor but unco before, and no j man can say that ha is a quarrelsome or evil disposed hoy. Bui for the grossly false an I injui ions state ments that have appeared in the papers, this would not have been put forth, ami all lhat is now asked of the public, is, that il will snpeiul its judgment until tin) evidence is fail ly elicited at the. trial. All thai is here asserted will bo fully substantiated by legal testimony. JOSEPH VANDYKE. Northumberland, Feb. 9, 1853.

Among them a $5 and $10 on the York Bank, a $5 on the Middletown Bank, a $5 on the Exchange Bank of Pittsburg and a $2 on the Lancaster Bank. Or The Miltonian says the Engineers of lhe Cattawissa rail road, have completed the survey of the route to Milton, and find it favorable. We have no doubt that it is more favorable than the Bloomsburg route to Williamsport, and besides, only about half as much road will be required to be made, to connect with the Sunbury & Erie road. r7 Dr. Baker preached his farewell er- mon in the Lutheran Church at Lancaster, Pa., on Sunday evening last, before an im mense congregation.
