It is rather a strange circumstance thinks the POttstOwn Ledger, that the citizens of Phila delphia, have paid no attention to this Rail road project, which' would secure to them; a direct connection with the Lehigh region, from . 7:?-.Allentown and Northward. Thirty miles of Railroad will give this connection with Allen town, by intersecting the Reading Railroad, at this place. The road will pass through a rich -:—Agricultural_,neighborhood, acct tapping several iron and lime districts. The freight upon the road, would be considerable, which together with the Allentown passenger and freight trade, and Lehigh coal and other trade northward, when a road is extended 'from Allentown, to Mauch Chunk ; would certainly render the stock the most ovaluable of the kind, in the country. The nature of the country admits of the construction of the road without much ex pense for grading. It is a project worthy of immediate consideration. The Firemen's Parade Tito Firemen's Parade in Philadelphia, on M'nnday last, is said to have been one of the most gorgeous displays. For the last three or four weeks preparations have been made, and it is believed that upwards of one hundred thousand dollars have been expended in get ting up this splendid aflair. Both our Brass Bands were engaged, and wo learn from those who have been present on the occasions, that they have acquitted themselves well. They returned on 'Wednesday afternoon—exceeding ly pleased with the excursion. Easton Bank The Bill rechartering the Easton Bank for fifteen years has been signed by the Governor. On the 23d of April, Thomas McKean, Fls . q., resigned his office as President of the Institu tion, and David D. Wagner, E q , was elected to fill•the vacancy. The retiring President has served in different offices of the Bank for many years, and with a watchfulness, ability and in tegrity rarely equalled by the officers of any other monied . institution in the State.

The Hon. Henry Clay. The venerable statesman continues very feeble, and is very sensibly affected by the changes of the weather: Ilia condition varies greatly from day to day. He is not, however, confined to his bed, and from the visible im provement exhibited in his appearance, streng,th, and spirits, when the temperature is genial, it is hoped that when this fitful season shall have passed he will rally. It is evident, however, that the patriot's lamp of life verges upon —"The sable smoke where vanishes the flame," and soorr the light which has illuminated many a dark day in the history of hie country will be quenched in death.

What Next ? 'rho Now York Daily limos Bays Kossuth has "the most marked forbearance toward Mr. Clay in regard to his opposition to his (Kos suth'..) policy and conduct." The great states-. man and the American people generally, ought to feel under the,greatest obligation to the dis tinguished llungaiatut for his great mercy to welds those who, in the name and on the soil of their own land, have presumed to dissent from the exile's doctrine, and oppose him in setting up his will as the law of the land that has given him shelter and hospitality. Kossuth• showing 1-lenry Clay, of Kentucky, forbearance indeed !—the most marked forbearance I—be• cause Dewy Clay disapproved of his doctrines! Well, this is certainly to bad. Ragged Bank Notes We hear people complaining of the great number of ragged bank notes in circulation, the following accounts for the cause, and also suggests a remedy: In the existing slate of trade and commerce, nearly all bills find their way back to their re spective batiks in the course of a few weeks at longest. They are reissued again, after they have become unfit for circulation. Why? Because the banks expect to gain by their be• ing defaced and destroyed in the process of circulation.

What most struck us, is the statement that great numbers of Chinese are arriving as immigrants at San Francisco; so there is a prospect that there will be a strong infusion of Celestials in the population of that State, for which, judging of the manner in which they have thus far con- ducted themselves, it may be none the worse. They haVe been quiet, industrious and law abiding, end are as much liked, we believe, as any of the foreigners who go to that anti fermis land seeking no better their fortunes. Railroad Iron. This spring the Montour Iron Company had over five thousand tons of finished Railroad Iron, to transport on the State Works. They are now sending it off in boats. Last year they paid over forty.two thousand dollars toll, ,on coal and other material, delivered nt their work, and on the transportation of the years prOduct of Railroad iron.

In our last, we announced, on the — autheriif of a telegraphic dispatch, the melancholy telligence of the death of Judge Coulter, of the Supreme Court. Since then we have received the Westmoreland Intelligencer, from which wo learn that ho expired at his residence, in Greensburg at half past ten o'eloek on Tues day evening, the 20th of April. The intelli— geuce is of a melancholy nature to nine-tenths of the people of the State. The Intelligeneer states that "Judge Coulter had been in attendance at the sittings of the Supreme Court, in Philadel phia for a length of time, and arrived at home on Friday evening lust, having been unwell before he left the city. A total prostration of all, hie physical energies seemed to ensue soon after his arrival at home, and'under which he finally sunk." Our first recollection of Judge Coulter dates back to the year 1832, though the older viii- zees of our town remember him at a much ear lier time, when he was a member of the As- sembly, then sitting in our present Slate (louse We learn front some of them that he was then distinguished for his ardent eloquence, as well as for a certain eccentricity of manner and recklessness•in conduct, which at that time ap• peered habitual if not natural. In 1832 he was a member of the memorable Congress millet' passed the act to recharter the U. S. Bank, which bill was vetoed by Gen. Jackson. Judge Coulter then a leading friend of the old Gener- I al, was not sati,fied with the arbitrary and overbearing course he saw proper to adopt, and a coldness if not entire separation in po litical action ensued. We believe Judge Coul ter was once reelected to Congress after this separation from his old friend, but he could not sustain a position of opposition, in West moreland county, and he shortly retired to pri vate life and the pursuits of his profession.— Hu subsequently interfered but little with pal hies, tho' as a safe and judicious adviser, the Whig party of the State often availed them selves themselves of his counsel and assistance. He held a decided position in the Whig ranks. In 18-16, Gov. Shuck, who had known him intimately at an early day, overlooked his pa {ideal relationship, and nominated him a Judge of th% Supreme Court. lie was appointed in the. Fall, and unanimously confirmed by the Senate in the following winter. Ho first took his seat iu the adjourned Court held in the ci ty of Lancaster in December, MI6. Frec. - , that time he hold a seat on the Supreme 'Bench, - having last Fall been elected under nut: amen ded Constitution, though no other Whig in the State on the same general ticket did succeed. This rosult was owing in part to his own per. Ronal popularity, but more decidedly to the op position in the city and county of Philadelphia to Judge Campbell, running on the opposition tioket. That opposition prevailed to some ex tent in the county, and altogether produced a very decided majority in favor of Judge Coulter. Ele otorial Vote It has been virtually settled in Congress that both South Carolina and California shall have a member of Congress on their several frac tions—the letter of the law giving it to Caron. na and the spirit to California. This increases the whole number of Members to 234, and of Presidential Electors to 296, making 149 ne• cessary to a choice-148 being a tie.

Four years have now elaPied Since Mr. Wel. kei made his exhibit irithe natiori 'or the benign 'results of this neW tariff in swelling the export 'of food, - carefully avoiding to credit any portion of the trade to the account of the potatoe rot.— Such being the result of a single year, what said he, may not be expected in future 1 Thestarv- Ing_millions of Europe are to be fed, and our do. mestic exports, which this year $150,574,844 have been must continue to increase, as we now see them to have increased, giving us in 1848 the amount of 222,688,350 )n MIL 939,950,003 in 1860, 488,444,056 And bat a few more years were to be required to enable them to reach the magnificent sum of "thousands of millions of dollars." We beg our readers now to remark that all this mass of absurd calculation was based upon. the fact that the potatne rot having caused a large demand in one year, that demand, was to be continued in succeeding years, and that the people who were starving because they could not raise potatoes, were, nevertheless, to be rich enough to buy from us, at high prices, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of food, and to pay us for it.. In whet they were to pay, the Seem,. tar) , never troubled himself to inquire. Had he done so, this extraordinary collection of figures for which no merchant'S clerk in the Union would - have made himself responsible, would never have been given to the world. The scheme has failed. The whole continent of Europe does not take from us even .twenty thousand dollars worth of food, the produce o the grain4rowin,e, States, and the market of Eng land takes from us less than it did six years since, when the Corn laws were in full opera tion. The domestic market is gradually disap- nearing, and no foreign one has been created to take its place; nod the consequence is, that wheat has recently touched a lower point than it has seen for many years. Under these cir, cumstances - it is of some importance to our far mers and our land.owners, and even to our rail. road makers and projectors, to form some idea of what is to be the prospect in future; and that they may do sn, we invite their attention to a passage from an editorial in the London Econo. mist—the highest British free trade authority— received by the last steamer. In reply t; an in , quiry of one of the new Ministers, as to what is to be the future effect on the supply of food to England, resulting from that crop on the coral, neat, that journal asks ; !Why is there not at this moment a terrible scarcity on the continent, extending more or less from the Vistula to the Rhine, from the North Sea to the Adriatic; and England, instead of be. lug herself short of food, is actually sending away cargo after cargo, week after week, to the continent 1 ft is also undeniable that, but for the one shilling duty on corn, of the existence of which Major Beresford is probably Ignorant, like Lord Derby, England would now possess a great deal more food, and would be able to supply the sufferers on the continent with more, on cheaper terms." Famine now rages over an important portion of the continent of Europe. The 'starving mil lions" that were to absorb of our fond to the ex• tent of hundreds of millions of dollars, now cry aloud, but who supplies them I The farmers of Ohio, or Illinois, or Wisconsin, or even those of Virginia—the land which closes her mines of coal and ore and lets her vast water.pnwer run to waste, and sinks from year to year in her po sition relative to other States 1 It is none of these; for, even in the face of a famine, the trade in food in all these States with the European con tinent has nn existence. in the face of a famine. prices abroad continue so low that the farmers are unwilling, to sell ; and nothing lint dire ne cessity, and the feeling that it is in vain to hope for better prices, bring their wheat to market.— Small as was the export to Europe last year, this year is still less—the quantity of . flour exported Ifrom the first of September to this date being Inow twenty per cent. legs than that of laSt year., How it is likely to be in future may be judged by our readers when they see that the advices I 1 by the Africa give us a farther continuance of the decline brought by each successive steamer for weeks past. The tendency of the market is stated to be still downward. ..Wheat has declin- ' ed 2d. to 3d. a bushel, and flour 2s. a barrel.— For the latter ..anxious purchasers" were, we are informed to be found at 193. a barrel! Four dollars and fifty•six cents a barrel in Liserpool, freight, duty, and commission paid, was the price at which flour could be sold, in a year in which i ea terrible scarcity" prevails over one large pm , tinn of the continent, end when the grain crop of Russia had been so short as to induce her to prohibit its exportation ! Such being the state of the foreign market, is it wonderful that flour now sells in .New York at four dollars and a quarter; and ,if such continues to be its stale, will it be wonderful if we see it decline to a point far lower! We would beg our agricultural readers to re. fleet for a moment what would be now the price of wheat or flour, had not this scarcity occurred, and determine for themselves if it would not be at a • lower point than it has seen for twenty years. Next, we would ask them to reflect what must inevitably be the effect of future large crofts, and to determine for themselves if they are not now pursuing a course tending to the. es , tablishm ant of lower prices for grain than any we have ever seen. It is quite clear that there exists abroad no such market as Mr. Walker hoped for; and yet we are daily closing our mills our mines, and our furnaces, that we may pur chase foreign goods in the form of lead, cloth, , iron, and hemp, and driving our whole popula. ' tion into agriculture, tharthey may produce food for a mike! that is now dbmanstrated has no existence, even in years of scarcity. ' The-repeal of the Corn laws was claimed as a great boon to our farmers, in consideration of which we were to abandon the idea of making a , , market nt home for our food, 'converting it into clotlkaild Iron, lead and hemp, and wool; and yet no one; We belleve,•can giamins into the ark, eiatioU'of . the existinusystetwutithobt being sat.. hilstl thltt,.it was the Waist mcisure'for . them that 'England conk{ haii:.adtillAid; : So To n g as the . : deetand •ivai only occiesional, the..advantagea IMMO MIMI!

Now, all Europe is engaged in growing grant tor England, and all Europe is making roads by Which to carry 41 to Market.— The last steamer brings us a notice of a new road in Rusila, the sole object of which is the I faciliation of the transport of grain to the Black t sea; and thus it is that the cheap labor of Russia is gradually being placed in a p position to corn. pete with, our dear labor—the inevitable effect I of which must be that unless we do fall to that level we must abandon altogether the idea of supplying England with food. In five years from this the facilities of the continent for sup plying thnt country will probably be twice as great as now, and there exists no reason for sup posing that the population of England will be greater than it is at this moment. In those five years we shall have added one.half to our food producing population ; and, taking into consid eration the saving of labor resulting from the making of railroads, the increase in the 'surplus for which a foreign market woufa be needed, should be several hundred per cent. What then shall be done with it 1 It is not clear that, if we do not create a market at home, our farmers .most be ruined I We should be glad that some one of our free.tratle friends—a sincere believ er in the advantage of our present revenue sys tem, under which we buy so thurh food and sell so little—would take up the facts of the -Case as they now stand, anti explain by them what pro cess we arc to be enabled to maintain any trade in food whatever, except it be by aid of such a reduction of prices as must to an enormous ex.. tent diminish the return to labor, and to a still greater extent the power to consume iron; cloth. lead or hemp—the articles that under the tariff of 1842 we made, and that under that of 1846 we buy and pay for, not with food, but bonds.
