In Philadelphia, the keepers of restaurants and eating-houses may sell spir ituous liquors in addition to malt liquors, upon paying tavern license rates. The rates of li cense for breweries and distilleries are reduced from treble to double the rates fixed by Senate bill. The classification of tavern-licenses has bsen reduced in the sixth class from $2O to $l5O, in the eighth class from 875 to 850, and in the ninth class from 850 to $25. The ratio of licenses for taverns is made ono to every one hundred taxables in the cities and counties. Imprisonment for violations of law is stricken out. Brewers of malt liquors and manufactu rers of domestic wines may bottle and sell the same in quantitieis of one dozen bottles or more, without license. The prohibition of the em ployment of minors in the manufacture or sale of liquor is stricken out. The bill was then de• rected to be retuned to the Senate. Since the above was in type, the Senate has non-concurred in the amendments of the House to the Senate bill on the Liquor question, and appointed as a committee of conference Messrs. Browne of Philadelphia, Wherry of Cumber land, and Jordan of Bedford—the two former Democrats. All are firm friends of restrictive legislation. The House has insisted upon its amendments ; and Messrs. "Wright of Luzerne, Getz of Berks, and Hunsecker of Lancaster, con stitute its committee of conference. The two former of these aro Democrats, the latter an American. Appearances indicate that the two committees cannot agree, and that the whole bill may fall. Should this bill fall, the pros pects of any legislation this winter on the sub ject arc very gloomy. Ucw iiiucic Hoe„..i.en WArEns, the great Music Polisher and Piano Dealer, 333 Broadway, N. Y., has just published and send us a new piece of music, entitled, " Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley ," the words of which we publish on the first page of to-day's paper.. Jeannie (who • by the bye, we understand to be no ideal per sonage) has excited the poetic muse of General Morris, of the New York'" Home Journal," and furnished a new inspiration to the most origi nal and melodious of all our ballad composers, Thomas Baker, who has produced an admirable melody,—light, sparkling and graceful as is the fair theme of both poet and' musician. This song pOssesses all the elements of immense, popularity, and will soon be f found on every I piano throughout the country. ' Frightful Occurronce. An occurrence of a serious nature happened the other day in Upper Mt. Bethel township, Northampton county. While a boy named En• WARD HUNT, aged about 14 years,. son of Joseph hunt, was passing the house of Mr. Barto, a ferocious dog rushed out upon him, rolled him round the street, and tore the flesh off his face and arms in so shocking a manner, that he is not expected to recover. • Unfortminto shanglini. On Saturday last a large, over-grown, two. year old Shanghai rooster, belonging to Mr. &must. DUNK, of Upper Mseungy township, while being chased by a dog, and on a full run, fell over a rail, and broke his neck. An accident like this rarely occurs, and may be regarded by seine as a joke, but it is an actual fact. The fowl was iiieked up dead by an eye-witness, and was unquestionably killed by the fall. ib it i on Advertising. • For the purpose of opening the eyes of some people, and illustrating the advantages to be derived from advertising, we will mention an instance that came to our knowledge the other day. JonN J. KnAusE, Esq., chairman of the conlmittee appointed by the German Lutheran congregation of this place, to r,Te lee proposals for a new town clock to be placed in the steeple Of the new church of Paid congregation, inserted an advertisement of a few lines to that effect in the Philadelphia Lcdgm'. The result was , that a perfect Hood of proposals have been com ing in from day to day, and from all directions, embracing Philadelphia, Norristown, Harris burg, West Chester, Baltimore, New York, l Boston, &c. This shows what a few lines, and placed in an obscure corner at that, can do, and how beneficial it is to advertise. Frank Pictorial. Prank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper is steadily improving. Aside from its numerous elegant embellishments, its literary and other matter is excellent. As a flintily companion, it is incomparable, and as it has only reached its twelfth number, it is not yet too late to se cure complete files from its commencement. In a year from this time, thousands will regret that they did not rubseribe at the beginning. fl 'The communication by "Simeon" came too late for insertion.

Side by side with our northern states men steed the Clays, the Bells, the Prestons, the Crittendens and others in support of the principle that slavery should not be extended by the government. But gradually it yielded to the demands of the " pc. culiar institution," and filially in an evil hour sought to compete with the Democracy for sec tional strength, and from thence it exists only 'in the dim canvass of the past. Its greatness only made its wreck the more terrible and.com pia°. And yet with the fate of the Whig par ty still fresh in the recollection of all, the Amer ican party seems not to have profitted by the lesion. In 1854, the American party was -triumphant in every northern State, because it /Was clearly and unqualifiedly indentified with the anti-Nebraska sentiment-not the Aboli tionism -of the North, and the popular agen cies which brought victory to its banner are as potent. to-day ns they were then.

IrfUNITED STATES AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.- A meeting of the Executive Committee of the United States Agricultural Society was held in Philadelphia, on Thursday of last week. The object of the meeting was to arrange certain pre liminaries for the nest Annual Exhibition. which has been fixed to take place in Philade!. I phia. on the 7th of October next, and which it j is proposed to conduct on a scale of unexampled liberality and splendor. • It was decided to em brace, as objects of the Exhibition, horses and! horned cattle, swine and sheep, agricultural hn plements,cereal and vegetableproducts,poultry, and native fruits and wines. A grand Banquet, in which ladies will participate, was also settled on as part of the programme, and it was agreed to appropriate from $12,000 to $15,000 in premiums. BRANDY FROM COAL.—Some French Yankees at Pottsville, Pennsylvania, propose to distill brandy from bituminous coal, and in this way : Coal gas is to be first distilled in the ordinary way, and conducted into a receiver. It con tains about eight per cent. of hydrogenous bi carbon in a geseous state, which is separated therefrom (rather a compli cated.affair) and in troduced into a closer vessel, containing sul phuric acid the vessel is agitated until the acid absorbs the gas. Water is then mixed with it, and . the whole distilled for alcohol, which the experimentalists cofidently say they can produce. What an idea !

This is covered on an overage, at present, with snow and ice to the depth of twelve or 15 inches, equivalent to at least six inches of water. This gathered into one body would fill a lake oflooo l square miles, 50 feet deep.. Suppose the river at this point'to be one-third of a mile wide, and to flow six miles an hour, at a rise of fifty feet above the present point, it Would carry off two square miles of the above lake each hour, or, say 50 square miles a day, requiring 201 days to drain off the water, even supposing no more rain should fall. The earth is froze full of water, so that not much can be absorbed. Under the most favorable circumstances we must have a high and continued flood. Let those who have property exposed take warn ing." [OVOLONEL FREMONT THE. RICHEST MAN IN THE Wormn.—The President has signed the pa- tent confirming Col. Fremont's title to his great Mariposa claims in California. This nice little estate contains upwards of seventy square miles situated about two hundred and fifty miles easterly from San Francisco. Messrs. Palmer, Cook & Co., the California bankers, own one undivided half of the tract, and Col. J. C. Fre mont the other, which many persons believe makes him the richest man in the world. Col. Fremont bought this immense gold region in 1840, for the sum of $3,000. and was laughed at for the recklessness of his investment.
