Veto ffiiraeage of the Governor, KxrcrrtvE CBAMBERJ ) HARRISBUSO, May 4, 1854. \ To the Senate and House of Keprescntotioei:— GENTLEMEN : The following bilk have been preientbd for roy considers!iotytind ap-, proval, and I herewith return the same with, out my assent, to the Senate in which body tfaey originated. Bill No. 199, entitled an Act to incorporate the Donegal Depoait Bank, to be located at ■ Marietta, Laficaater oounly ; No. 215, emi, tied an Act to incorporate the Catusaique ' Deposit Bank, at Csiueuque, Lehigh coun ty ; bill No. 212,' entitled an Aoi to incorpo- I rate the Farmers' Depoait Bank of Lehigh County ; and bill No. 996, entitled an Act to incorporate the Mount Pleasant Savings 1 Bank. The prinoipat objection to the bills under consideration, is, that no adequate liability is imposed upon the Stockholders, for the protection for those Who may be creditors of the institutions. It baa become a settled principle, that in granting corporate privil eges, where Urge private gains are expected and the public deeply interested in the ope rations of an institution and it* ability to meet it* engagements, that the individuals thus associating shall be severally liable, in their private estates for the debts of such corporation. , This priu—pto haa been applied, very properly, it ia believed, to Banks of Issue, and to Mining and Manufacturing Compan ies, and the public are certainly qmte as much interested in the safety and solvency of a Bank Deposit, as in these corporations. Invi ting deposit* by the offer of liberal terms, the entire community surrounding such an institution may become creditors, and especially those classes least able to bear a loss ; and henoe the propriety of fur nishing an efficient protection. The appli cation of the principle ia not more salutary upon the public miad, by inspiring confi dence and trust, than upon the corporators themselves ; and the greater vigilance res ulting from a proper tense of responsibility, would more than compensate for thia in creased liability. Whilst it is true that mere Banks - of De posit not having the power to increase the aggregate of paper circulation, are not liable to the objections generally urged against an increase of banking capital, us a basis for paper Issues, and cannot 76fTa'.e prtcesfrv an expanded currency, they should never theless be guarded by every proper limita tion and restriot lon, for the security of the public. Nor should such institutions be es tablished at random, and without a due re gard to actual business wants p but only in such localities as manifestly require them. In places where a large amount of busi ness is transacted, I can see no well founded objection to such an agency—thus from the size aud importance of tits place, no institu tion ol the kind at Allentown might be em inently proper, at dbe of great benefit to its business inhabitants—and perhaps at other points indicated in the bills before me; but in this, as in all other allowable meas ures,. the utmost discretion and judgment must be e\erci*ed, and the true interest and safety of the public ever held in view. Misapprehension seems to have existed as to the ex'ent of the liability imposed by the general Banking Law of 1850, under which the proposed institutions are to be or ganized. It was certainly such erroneous impression that secured the approval of the bill to incorporate the Citizens' Deposit Bank of Pittsburg, tor in all other similar oases, the prictpal of individual liability seems to be rigidly adhered to. Even in this case, hdtwever, is an express reservation in the act of incorporation ihat the Legislature may impose new conditions, if necessary, which to some degree, at leas! supplies the omission of an express individual liability. Aa there seems therefore to be a defect in the general law* in this particular, I respect fully recommend that it be ao amended as apply to the principle of Individual liability to Deposit Bunks hereafter incorporated, at' well as those already established, in whose charters the right isreservtd to impose new conditions if necessary. WM. BICLIR. Rjwtia Sectarian Kxcitements. There has been another sectarian riot near Boston, a place nearly as famous for its "re ligious" riots as Philadelphia It originated in the attempt to suppress the ravings of a demented fanatic, calling himself blasphe mously the "Angel Gabrie L" We do not learn from the account* who began the row, but it is quite probable that some of the po litical organizations existing in lh>* eontury whose platform of principles ib hearty ha tred to the Pope and his representatives, the Priests, use such miserable tools, a* 1 thia crazy preacher to excite a disturbance amo r, g the mote ignorant and excitable portion of the Catholic population, by denouncing thei' trtt Tfpenly in flit streets, and the fof erltpve just zeal enough and ignorance enough to be caught in such a trap. The true course ot people who do not like to hear a public dis course, is to keep away fr out the place where it is being delivered; and the true course of those who have charge of the pub lic peace to keep franttcs from preaching ia the public streets There are Churches a nough, public Halts enough, commons enough open lots in the outskirts of the city enough >0 serve the purpose, where free speech has a right to be exercised, without invading the rights of the whole publio, by blocking op the common thoroughfares of the city. If this course were pursued, conscientious in dividuals, who have luO much religion to fight about it, and do uot burn Churches and bruise beads to show how deeply they are imbued with the mild spirit of Christianity, would be protect HI! from the annoyanoes, and these disturbances, aud the whole com mur.ily would eou team that th* only UtM mode of eojovmg their reftgiftua rights ia for each to attend more 10 the regulation of his own conscience than he does to mending hi* neighbor's faith.

Had atl these lost days, and the whole of this mis-spent time, been devoted to the necessary bustorss of the session, the limit of one hundred days would have been found eveu longer than was required. It is not going too far to say that sixty days would have been nearly sufficient. A proposition of oeriaiu salutary amend ments to the Con amotion haa been adopted by the Legtel store now in session. If not too late, We rrmf suggest another; To I'tnjj ibS. of *he Legislature, to ninety days, lifer proviso that the ses sion my be protraaled at the pleasure of members, but that their pay shall cease en tirely at the expiration of the period named. Nothing, short of a constitutional provision will be effective; Jor we have already seen the Act of Assembly, cuttinu down the pay one-half after one hundred days, iu mere nullity. The members vole themselves full pay, in spite of this law: and they will tioue to do so, as long ts ihe power is left in their hands. The aimosphere of Marrisb urg is unforiunalely none of the purest, and the : shorter there stay is made there, the better for their own morals, and for the good of the people. Th*sa remarks have been suggested by reading theTolloyving report of an amusing colloquy whisMMjaarred in the Senate last Friday, feoiuruOa WR)7fnnlref and MoJ. Fry, ' The former is an out-and-out Whig, and goes in for all sortaof extravagant anpropriations; while the latter is a home-spun Democrat, and baa an eyo to eeonomy, although he does not appear to be any more ready than his colleagues to practice ity whan his own pocket ie concerted..

The Russians have advanced within 120 miles of Varna. # The latest and most trustworthy accounts from ihe head-quarters of Omer Pasha prove the urgent necessity of the allied forces ar riving on the theatre of war without loss of time, if there be a desire to avoid, as Gen eral Baraguay d'Htlliers is said to have ex priaaed it in one of his despatches, the repe tilicai on hind of the catastrophe of -Smnpe. A competent person, who has very recently examined, and with the greatest attention, the line of Danube from Widden In Raseo va, and who has very minutely scrutinized the effective force under the command of Omar Pasha, with its capabilities and organ ization, is uul of opinion that it is able to uieat the RueBiait army single-handed, or to qppose its onward march to the south. No doubt is expressed as to the zeal, the enthusiasm, and the valor of the Turkish ar my, but the same authority declares that j notwithstanding Iba wonderful efforts made by Omar Pasha to introdoce regularity and order iu the host he commands theie is still a deplorable deficiency in those respects.— With the exception of Omar Pasha himself, who is admitted toaMkßßian of much intel ligence .mpd two orWeO others moat, "there Ira sad want ol m nit try capacity a mong the superior officers, and iofiiniialy less among the subalterns. The Turkish army of the Danube does not amount to more than 90.000 men, while ths Russians have now 200,000 disposable and effective men in the Principalities arid Bes sarabia. Fortunately the presence of Ihe al lied Heels to the Black Sea renders it impos sible for the Russians to obtain supplies from the coast, and a cortfeiderable portion of that immense force is employed in conveying provisions and stores to Ibw Dorbrudscha. An Austrian paper has the following tele, graphio despatch. The important frontier town of Fokshaul, in Wallacbia, which had just been fortified, has bean destroyed by fire. All the Rus sian stores, previsions, arms, clothing; am munition and all the military hospitals, have fallen a prey to the flames. Tba Russians occupy Kosiendje. Thursday Evening.—la a former despatch you were informed that Russian troop* had been seen on the Servian territory; tbie eve ning's papers have a communication from Orsuva, of the 16ih, which states that on the 14th the Russians occupied Turuii, Severin. On the 15 the Cossacks crossed the Dan ube at New Orsova, a Turkish fortress on one of the Dauubiar. islands, and occupied Wartsierova. The Turks bombarded the place. According to fhese accounts, il is not clear whether a tegular passage of ths Dan ube is intended at that spot.

They are, wise and humane provisions for breaking dp the slave trade between Africa and Cuba.

' Tfififtritifcflr 01 -ftaotefc' ' A correspondent of the Presbyfarian says that the proposed Territory of Kansas lies West of theMiasoari. It extends three or four hundred miles, and consists principally of beautiful and fertile prairies. The timber is meetly confined lo the neighborhood of water courses. Thete is morp wood, how ever, in Kansas than in Nebraska, which lies west of lowa ; and more in the eastern than in the western portion of the territory, where those treeless pi sins commence that stretch to the mountain!. The scarcity of timber ia the only drawback, aud this must prevent parts of it from becoming thickly settled for a long time. It would seem that Providence designs these immense prairies, stretching eastward from thn Hockey Moun tains for a thousand miles, to be the great grazing region of North America, Just a* he does theMissippi valley for 'gtdinf the gulf Stales for cotton, find the Allelic |jtales for manufacturiag- Upouthe hfige pfirriee of Illinois and Miesomi, however,- hedges and stone fence* are coming extensively into use, and the same mode of fenciag will be adopted in Kansas. Coal is known to exist in different sections of the lerritnrn, and it will probably be found in sufficient quanti ties lor fuel. The soil is well edap'ed to grass and grain and in portions of it, especially near the Kankas, river, there is'exceilent hemp land. Pot farming purposes, that portion through which the Kansas runs, with its numerous small tributaries, is esteemed the most des irable. The soil is surpassed by none in the West, and at no very diatant day the valley of the Kansas is destined to become one of the meat atlraotive in our conritry. It is sit uated as near the centre of our country, also ss qeed Fort Hiley 90 the bt nil red and six'yVii-es west o! the Missnu ri litiP, being the central point of the United S.ates, as neat as can be ascertained. Along the valley of the Kansas, aslo, must some day pass the great thoroughfare between the Atlantic and Pacific, whether the first Paci fic railroad take this rent or not. Copper ore has been found also in this legion.
