The School Law The House of Representatives has had be fore it a bill making many changes in the laws regulating the Common Schools of this Com monwealth. The bill is a large one—consist -ing of some sixty or seventy sections, divisions, &c. It does not entirely supersede the law of 1849, but has incorporated in it many of the provisions in force at present. The section in the present law, making it the duty of a con stable to collect taxes, is stricken out, and pro vision made for their collection by the usual collectors of county rates and levies. There is, .also, another important provision in it, and that is for the appointment of county superin, tendants of schools. Many of the changes are good and should be adopted. The bill will not, in all probability, become a law at this ses sion, as it has advanced too far towards its ter mination: Adjournment of the Legislature.. A joint resolution has passed both liouses, tot the final adjournment of the State Legisla .ure on Tuesday, the 16th. instant.

The Slavery Question Let us hope that land is ahead, and that we shell soon be out of the sea of trou.ble, arising out of the Slave Discussion. The project pro posed by Mc M'Clernand, of Illinois, on Wed nesday, the 3d inst., which is the same as that proposed by Mr. Clay, by which all the ques tions are to be settled in one hill, commands groat attention. It can scarcely be much im proved, and we should like to see a direct vote upon it at the earliest day. It admits Califor nia as she stands, sinks the slave question in reference to the territories, and provides for paying Texas for certain reductions of her boundary. All parties can unite in favor of this proposition, and we have no hesitation in giving it our hearty concurrence. Important Decision The ppinion in the case of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania vs. M. I'. Mitchell pro prietor of the Limited States' llot el, Philadel phia, was delivered by Judge Parsons in the Court of Quarter Sessions last week. The lac:8 are as follows : A person who was objectionable to the pro. prior:it of the hotel, had been ordered out of the house for some difficulty which occurred a few weeks ago, and cautioned never to come in it again ; a few days afterward he went there again, accompanying a friend, who had some business with a guest of the house. The latter refused to go . , but was then put out with force, and Mr. Mitchell was prosecuted for assault mot battery. On a motion for a new trial, the court decided that, though an inn-keeper is hound to receive strangers and travellers who apply for entertainment, he is tiol obliged to receive oth• cr persons. Ile is bound to keep an orderly house, and has a right to compel persons to withdraw who are . not guests and who arc dis agreeable to him or the inmates. British Iron in Philadelphia lOrAmong theottixports from Liverpool to Philadelphia, from the '29th of February to the sth of March, were 354} tons bars ; 7 do. bars; 543 do. hoops; 7 do. rods, and 15 do. pig iron. —Exchange Paper. It would be ''very disagreeable" to England, eaye the Pottstown Ledger, were we to manu facture this iron ourselves—or even a part of il. If there is any one article which it would be to the advantage of Pennsylvania to supply the market with, above another, it is iron.— The coal and iron.ore in the mountain . is coin parative/y worthless. Behold the mine of wealth it preduces by being wrought up into articles for the supply of our own market. NO Alteration will be made in the present tariff to the higher protection .of any articles—hence it may be well to be contented with rather a less speedy odevelopement of wealth than might be anticipated under higher duties. RAtineato.—A meeting of citizens in favor of this project was held on Saturday, the 231 in Bucks county, at 'which resoluti3ns were adopt . Sonnie'a Secret found out by a Lady. ' The following is an extract from an address, delivered on the occasion of a banner presen tation by an unmarried lady, to a Division of the Sons of Temperance, in Georgia : "As a lady, I might perhaps complain, that, by your organization, you exclude us from the secrets of your Order. You group yourselves together—you talk—you plan—you act. No listening' ear of woman is hero to catch the words which frill from your lips—no prying eye to mark your deeds. All is secret—as you think. lint in spite of you, the secret will get out, and we ladies know it. "Yon talk and plan—but we see the young man who, just now, by his d'oymion to his cup, was wrecking all of good for time and all of hope of eternity, mingling in your association, safe from ruin which beaded him. The gray headed father looks upon his son they saved, and a smile, radiant with the light of joy, plays brightly on the old man's countenance. • 'We see the husband, who stood trembling upon the verge of a volcano—another step or two, and the fearful plunge had been taken— retreating from his perilous position, and seek , ing safety in the association of your Oider; and then the , wife, whose aching heart -has long endured in silence the insanity of. its grief, stands up with the mountain pressure gone, and links her affection to her sobered husband.— These are your deeds. You dry np the tears 'of grief, yon hush the sighs of the broken heart ed, you stop the prodigal in ti is career—you give light for darkness, hope for despair, and roll upon the bosom of society a stream which has healing in the water. This is your secret.'. Opinion of Freo Banking The New York Herald says, the New Jersey banks are busily engaged in providing a circa• lotion to fill the'vacuum in this market by the demand for the issues of the banks of this State at the West. We advise the public to be cau tious how they take these Jersey bills. We have had some experience in the mooch's oper andi of banking in New Jersey, and have very little confidence in their issues. There is no bank circulation it, this 'country, and we might say in the world, equal to that of this State ; secured by New York State and Government stocks ?and its soundness and safety is so uni versally appreciated at. the West, that the is sues of our banks, thus secured, are almost monopolized in that section of the Union, leay.ing the demand here, for a local circulation, to be supplied by the shinplaster banks located in all the neighboring States. Something must be dune to remedy this evil, and we know of no way but by an inerea=e of banks, under the free banking system. We have heard of sev eral banks in New Jersey, which have lately extended their cirenlation largely; and the sys tem adopted to force their issues upotrthis com— munity, looks very much as though they in tended, as soon as they had become sufficient ly expan,lnd, to follow in the wake of the Plainlieht Bank and the State Bank of Morris. 13c.nton's National Railroad Plan. The, bill prepared for a railway from St. Louis to the bay of San Francisco, sets apart the proceeds of the sale of the public NM'S ; for opening such a communication with Calikunia, New Ai ex ico,Oregon and Salt Lake settlements. A breadth of one mile of the public lands is to be appropriated to the central highway, and one thousand feet to the branch roads, on each of which lines are to be constructed, a railroad, and common road, and lines of telegraph. The common roads are to be free of toll, and the railroads to be taxed for transportation no higher than is necessary to keep them in repair. The finnan titles are to be extinguished on the routes to the beeadth of one hundred miles.— Military stations arc to be established, and Itio acres of land will be given to every male over eighteen years of age, who shall Settle on the line of said road or branches within twelve months after the Indian titles are extinguished, and pre.em priori rights to the same extent to those who shall afterwards settle. The bill also provides for surveys and evmi- Mations as to the best route, and* for the corm pletion of the common 'road in one year and the central road in seven years, after located. The u.se of the railway when finished is grant etl to individuals nr companies for a limited time, who shall contract to transport persons, mails, munitions of war, and fieiglits of all kintk, public arid privme, in vehicles furnished by themselves, at stich reasonable rates as may. In; agreed upon. Continental Shin• Plasters Various attempts have been made from lime to time to redeem the continental money, but v‘itliout success. 'the whole amount issued during the revolutionary war was four hundred millions of dollars, but one half was cancelled by collection. Congress paid it out at forty dollars for one of specie. It afterwards fell to five hundiod for one, and finally got as low as one thousand for one, when it lost all its value. The whole public debi;nut includingeolninen-. tan looney, was a foreign debt to France sad Ilolland, at four per cent, of f... 7,855,085, and a domestic debt, iu lotm•ellicecertilicales, of Sa.t,. 115,290, to which were added the claims of several Stales, emotmting to $21,500,000. The whole debt wass9l,ooo,ooo, which finally went up to par. The campaign of 1778.9 cost $135,- 000,000, continental money, while the whole amount in the treasury in specie was $151,686. Taking the reduction in value on continental money, it only amounted to a tax of about live dollars per annum for each person. It was doubtless a great loss to our forefathers, but what a rich heritage have we not obtained for it, if we are wise enough to keep it! Death from Intosication.—A colored man in Ulster county, N. Y. came to his death on the 19th by drinking excessively of brandy, which a cou ple of bystanders agreed to pay for, for the fun Study of Human Nature In the physical world the leading phenom ena have from youth upwards to maturer age, ' excited our wonder and attracted our admira tion—yet, we thveot cease to study therit at tentively, to scan their uses and designs, to dwell upon their endless variety of forms. The subject never tires; and in descending from more general surveys, the details . of a system so varied and complex, present a never end ing interest, and a at ill greater fund of instruc tion. As with :he natural, so with the moral phenomena by which we arc surrountled.— We study the great principles which govern mankind, we admire the prominent traits of character exhibited in men, the higher endow ments of their natures. They awaken a deep interest in our minds because they apply to our . own mental organization i and draw out its sym• profiles, While they give an aspiration after ex cellence, which we may hope in sonic degree to attain. We allude to those displays of intel lectual power, of innate goodness, of high-soul od energies we sometimes meet with in the walks of life. They are the grand striking fea tures of humanity, which arrest our admiration and .tncli life's great and impressive lessons. These are comparatively rare. Genius, lofty principle ; disinterested action, wide, practical views, great intellectual developernent aro the lot of few. The characters of most men, when we descend to the details of life, are of a mix ed nature—compounded of qualities at vari ance with each other, and with alloys so blend. ed that it is difficult to decide whether good or evil most predominates. In whatever condi tion they maybe planed, they are the most useful study for the moralist—because the most accessible and met with in t lie everyday walks of life. The saute divine hand that has so won derfully diversified the minutite of nature, has imparted an equal variety in its mental struc ture to the race of man. Form, intellect, ex pression, external featu res, rise up around us in endless variety, and horn the conteinplation of this variety, as in the world of external nature, spring up fountains of thought, sympathies and erjoytnents. We look into our own hearts, we analize our motives and desires, we probe our imperfections and weaknesses, our tendencies to corrupting pleasures, our conflicts with our better nature, and we turn to the class we have last depicted, the great masses of mankind, as to our lellows, who are the - sharers of our lot, beings of a frail and imperfect humanity like ourselves. It is here that we derive our best lessons of instruction. The page of human na ture, the type of which lies within ourown bo soms, is here unfolded—anti we can read it without self-love or self-deception. Faults which would lie hiilden in our own hearts, are there revealed to us—we leant to hate selfish ness and to shrink from the deformity of vice detect a weakness, and to guard against the follies and the delosions of the heart—to feel how virtue exalts, how sympathy endears, how cultivation of intellect entnibles. It is thus while we mingle with our fellow-nom, if we closely study their characters in detail, we shall take the most efficient means to improve our own. Our intellectual Hahne, too, will in a corresponding ratio be improved. From men of all classes, of mull tax•upatious, of every call, brc of mind, and from their experiences, froln the poor as well US the rich, we can gain seine thing new, something practical, =nine stock ad ded to the Mud of knowledge which may en lighten our course, through life, and enlarge our sphere of usefulness and our claims all the Hi ciety, amongst which Providence has cast our ilot. We shall thus make ourselves better and wiser men. Let us not despise the humble, the poor, the uneducated. They are one fel lows in weakness, struggling like ourselves in the waves of a stormy life, with minds and hearts formed and beating like our own, ! our eqnals in the sight of God, and what lev , els all distinctions of rank and fortune, heirs of the same immortal hopes I—Two fl'orlds. `Foreigners Coming to America. , .

Incidentally he touched upon the slav ery question, defending the North from the oft repeated charge of aggression on SOuthern tights. Ile was followed by Mr. Clay, who was of opinion that the object sought to be obtained by Mr. Be nton could be better accomplished by referring the matter to the proposed Select Committee, than by entertaining the proposition of admission as a separate and independent one. Mr. Douglass endeavored to obtain a trot vote on Mr. Foote's proposition for a Select Committee; but the lat er stated, that as a number of the friends of this proposition were absent from the Senate, he would move to potpone the subject until the II th The motion was adopted. Dr. Webster According to the Boston Post, the stupified ap pearance of Dr. Webster, during. his trial, is at tributed to the use of morphine. It has been sat isfactorily ascertained that he did take a small portion of very active poison at the time the charg,e of murder was announced to him in jail. His reflections upon his counsel in Court showed how utterly incapable he was of comprehending the exigencies of his case. The evidence ivltich he wished them to produce would not only have strengthened his defence ; but in some respects would have corroborated testimony for the pros ecution. Titat his counsel did for him ail that the extraordinary circumstances admitted of, is conceded by all who witnessed the trial through. out. They had not one fact to rest on, beyond his standing in society, general character for the observance of the duties of social life, and his unconcerned demeanor during the week of the search for Dr. Parkman. Yet under this pauci ty of evidence for the defence, Mr. Merrick ar gued about seven hours, with a degree of force and ingenuity which completely surprised all who understood the real difficulties of the case.
