DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE or PENNSYLVANIA.—THA Democratic State Ceo trar Committee will meet at PITTSBURG, at the ST. CHARLES HOTEL, on Monday, the 26th day of May, at 10 o'clock, A. M. Important business should secure a general attendance. J. W. FORNEY, Chairman. THE NEW MCENSE LAW. On last Thursday afternoon the Couit gran ted tavern licensee to those parsons whose •pplications had been previously advertised, end also to the 9 eating houses on the adver tised list. There were no objections to any of the applications, and their number was not so large as the number of laxables in the county authorized the Court to grant.— Treasurer Harris was pretty busy in the af ternonon taking in the revenue from this source, and we find that the amount in Ibis county will be From 5 Tavern licenses at 850, #250.00 " 28 do do at 25 700.00 " 9 Eating Houses at 20 180 00 • 9 Treas'rs L. to E. Houses $5 45.00 Clerk's fees in 42 oases 52.50 Total, #1227.50 A gentleman during court made a calcula tion as to how many drinks it would lake to pay this liquor lax, and we find the result to be about as follows : 40,916) drinks at So. each make #1227.50 20,458) drinks at 6c. each make 1227.50 But as the profile must pay this (ax and as this profit may be rated at 100 per cent., it would take 81,833) of the 3 cent "pulls," or 40,916) of the 6 cent "nips" to pay the lax. Can any of the smart ones tell us how many drunks there will be in these drinks? But after all it is perhaps the true policy to tax heavily the vices of society if we find that we cannot prohibit tkem by the most stringent legislation. The liquor license re venue to the State wilt this year be per haps #300,000, and while it is no gratification to an honest mind to see that any vice can pay such a bonus for its existence ; il un regulated human nature will "indulge," tha indulgence cannot be too heavily taxed. In Luzerne county there were granted 105 tavern licenses, 30 eating house licenses and 13 to stores. The revenue theie will be #5,125 to the Slate. In Northumberland county the number of taxables did not allow the court to grant all the tavern licenses for which there were ap plicants, but 40 were granted, and all the re staurants that applied were licensed. Only about 6 petitions were refused. The Treas urer took in on the same day about #ISOO for' licenses. After granting (he licenses, Judge Jordan gave the applicants some good and wholesome advice, and plainly informed tbem that theit licenses would be revoked if they told liquor and kept their bars open on Sunday. Under his fiim moral rules the taverni had all quit selling liquor after their old lioenses expired, but immediately after the new licenses were issued the bottles were again in motion. In Schuylkill county there were nearly twice aa many applicants as could be per mitted to receive license. Judge Hegins •was engaged the whole of Saturday ar.d part of Monday in miking the proper selections. The Catbon county court granted 30 tavern licenses, and 5 to reatauranls. In Lehigh county theie are 107 applicants, and only 64 can be licensed, so 43 must be disappointed. The Monroe county coug disposed of the tavern licenses for that county, laal week.— Twenty-three lioeusea only granted. There is a rumor that great dissatisfaction exisls in re gard to the distribution of the publio houses, and it is also said that the associate judges intend to hold a court and grant licenses to other applicants. RAILROAD AECMINT —On last Wednesday morning, while the down Irain.on the Catta wissa Railroad was wailing on the switch Ttear Ringgold, the boiler of the engine ex ploded from some unknown cause, killing three persons immediately and injuring one so aerioualy that he died next morning.— They were two firemen and one brakesman. One was Andrew Fleming, a son of George Fleming near Mainville in this county. An other was named Carey. APPOINTMRRT.— Mr. William Hutchinson has been appointed Postmaster at Mordans ville in tbia county in the place of Joseph E. Sands superseded by a change of eiie from "Bear Run." The Post office has been re established at (be old location, which is the place where the pnbliobusiness of the town ship (Mountpleassm) is generally done. Mr. Hutohinson ii a very proper man for the of fice, and a good Democrat. ADMITTED. —WKSLEV WIRT, ESQ , was last week admitted to praolice as an Attorney in the Court* ot this county, alter undergoing, as tha Commit!* say, a very creditable ex amination. He was several years ago under the instruction of the Hon: John Cooper of Danville, and recently under that of Chas. R. Buckalew and the writer of this paragraph. NEW GOODS !—McKelvy's corner has been filled up dyring the week with boxes, hogs heads, crates, &0., for when their new slock of goods arrives the people can always tee the signs piled about. They are slacking away the good* a* fast •* they can, and a* their customers will allow thera to do. CORRECTION.—We have been informed since our lut issue that the bill to lay out a Stats road between this place and LapOrte did pass the House of Representatives, and is now a law. We cheerfully make ib* cor rection. EW Maj. Wo. Dewarl will in all proba bility be the next Democratio candidate for Congress in Ihe Northumberland and Schuyl kill district. COURT PROCEEDINGS. In the case of Peter Meliok vs. S. F. Head ley at. al., verdict for the plain tiff for #868.36. i Com. vs. John Moore and George Moore, i indictment for obstrnoting a tax collector in I the disohatge ol hta duly and a second ! oount for assault and battery. Clark and i Weaver for Com., Buckalew and Freeze lor i defendants. Verdiot not guilty on the first count, bnt guilty of an assanlt and battery. Sentence a small fine and the cost*. Hart, Cutnmings & Cusbman vs. D. L. Mo- Kinney. This was an action on book ac count to which defendant plead the statute of i limitation, and the question in controversy was wbethar notes given to the* plaintiffs in payment on account without any special con tract or application at that time were to be regarded as a payment when so banded over, or only when those notes were paid to plain tiffs by (he maker of them. The oourt de cided that they oould only be regarded as collateral Seourity, and there was nothing done at the time they were handed over to discbarge the debt. Under this instruction the jury found for the defendant. Baldy for plaintiffs, Clark for defendant. Com. for the use of Petriken vs. Peter Bill myer. Suit on official bond for not execu ting writ of execution against James Freeze. Defendant showed that ihe defendant in Ihe execution had at the time no property upon whioh the writ could be levied. Verdict lor the defendant. Rhodes and Weaver for plaintiff, Clark and Baldy for defendant. Geddee & Marsh us, M'Clure'e Executor*. Suit for the prioe of a grain reaper sohLto defendant before hi* death. Verdict for the < plaintiff's for their claim in full. Jackson for plsintiff, Hurley for defendant. Adam Kline et. al vs. C- F. Mann and Wesley Roat. Ejeotment for 311 acres of land in Main and Mifflin. Verdict for plain tiff for 205 acres, and for defendant as to the remainder. Weaver and Hurley for plaintiff, Buckalew aod Baldy for defendant. On Thurscay afternoon Ihe tavern and eat ing house licenses were granted. On Friday the argument list wag disposed of. In view of Judge Conyngbam's close of service as Presiding Judge in this oouuty the members of the bar joined in a highly com plimentary and respectful letter which was presented to him al the close jf the term.— His Honor expressed his regret al the neces sity which required him to sever the friendly relations that bad existed between him and the whole bar, and tendered his thanks to the profession and ihe people of the county in the most appropriate terms. He has cer tainly been dignified, fair and intelligent in the discharge of all his duties, and carries with him the respeot ol the publio in this counly. IRON.—Tire price of iron is likely to be high in the Uniled Stales for many years to come, which will have the effect of making the trade very brisk and lucrative. The vast system of radroads about to be established in Ruesia, Turkey and India,will require more iron than perhaps England and tha continent of Europe will be able to supply. The In dian railroads will be supplied from England, taking all the surplus iron she can produce. Russia may supply a considerable portion of her own iron, but she must look abroad for' a large amount, and Turkey is entirely de pendent upon foreign production. Under this slate ol affairs our Iron manufacturers will have no occasion lo contend with for eign competition, but may soon be called upon to assist in supplying a foreign market. Tnus, after man) years of contention, the tariff question, as far as iron is concerned, is to be settled by the progressive tendency of the age. SENATOR DOUOLASS.—This distinguished gentleman obviously knows bow to encour age worthy ministers of the Gospel in their legitimate work, aa well as to castigate those unworthy professors who preach politics in stead of Christ crucified. He - mercilessly scourged the New England clergy who ad dressed an abolition memorial to Congress "in the name of Almighty God," and he has conveyed to the Baptist denomination of Chicago, Illinois, ten acres of land—a grove, beautifully situated within theuity limit*—for the purpose of erecting thereon a university; with a condition that 'the trustees shall lay the foundation of the edifice during the ap proaching fall, and spend annually towards the building #25,000 ur.til completed. The Senator baa also made a donation lo the new Thirteenth street Baptist cburoh in Washing ton. LINDA ; or, the Young Pilot of the Belle Cre ole ; By Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz. -Anew edition of this agreeable novel is in press by Mr. Peterson of Philadelphia, and will be issued on the 31tt of May. No publisher excels Mr. T. B. Peterson in tho elegance with which he ieeues his works. The present one is to be printed with new type, upon the thickest while paper, and tastefully bound. "Linda" is among the best of Mrs. Hentz' fictions. It is full of the ro mance of youth and love, and, therefore, fascinaies all who pine afier the ideal, a great number even among the old, than is gener ally supposed. Sir James Macintosh, one ol the profoundest men of the present cen tury, was honest to confess tbst his highest mental gratification was to "to lie on a sofa, after dinner, and read novels." Tradition says, too, that novels like "Linda," which recalled the roseate dreams of youth, were just the kind he liked best. LDV ILLINOIS FARMS.—Ex-Mayor Curtis, of Chicago, Illioois, is said to have retired on a farm of 3000 aores, which cost him, about three year* ago, #23,000. This farm ie now worth #90,000, and rising ill ralne. These are the farms of the great West, namely two and a half miles sqove, and with field* that yield 90,000 bushels of wheat and 80,000 ' bushels of ooru, and orobards of 5000 peaob ' and 1200 apple trees! FASHIONABLE INTELLIORNCE—In another i column it will be observed that Mrs. Rupert l Miss Robison bare opened a new arrival of i fanoy and fashionable millinery good* to t which they invite Mtentjon. Any thing in I ihe way of neat and fashionable bonnet* ] they can supply lo snit any una. i A GOOD LAW. The following law was passed at tha laat session of the Legislature. It was intra-" duced in the House, and passed there -as a local Bill for Luzerne county, but on'ili in troduction in the Senate, M was amended al the instance of Col, Koox, so aa to make it applicable lo the whole Commonwealth.— Fatmers and fruit growers have long wanted i jnat such a law as this, and aa it h*s receiv ed the Executive approval, and takes effect immediately, they car, protect themselves from Ib* visitation of prowler* and depreda tors: An act lo protect fruit and punish tresspass in this Commonwealth. SEC. 1. Re il enacted, fa, That the wilful and malioious taking and carrying away of frail, vegetables, plants, fruit or ornamental trees, vines or shrubs, in this Common wealth, whether attached to the soil or not, shall be deemed and the same is hereby declared a misdemeanor, and can be pro scouted and punished at anch under the laws of this Com monwealth. Sic. 2.

Another Development. The following extfaol from Ihe Bellfonte Watchman shows what manner of rowdyism and licentiousness the Know Nothing con spiracy of darkness has engendered : "On the 13th of February last, a most dar ing outrage was committed upon the person of Rev. William Gillian, a German priest, while traveling in the Carthaus stage, which for malignity and brutality, exceed* any as sault which we have heard of. While riding peacefully in the stage, and while reading his breviary, the.book was struck from his hands, and he himself thrust from the stage. He waa seized, thrown to the grouaal, and a bottle of whiskey held to bis mouth, and the liquor literally paused dawn bi> 1H.. AA terrne fiends had accomplished their work, they compelled their victim to pay a dollar for the drink,and then shouted for what they called "a Know Nothing triumph." One of the parlies concerned was the driver, Jeremi ah Wineworth, who has since made hie es cape. The names of the others, four in num ber, are unknown to ut, but we hope they will speedily be brought to severe punish ment." A Pleasant Excnrsloa. The following paragraph from the Danville Democrat of laat week, will be read with pleasure by the many friends of Mr. and Miss Bradley in this vieinity, as well as by all the friends of good schools ; "The scholars of the Danville Academy, under the charge of their excellent teachers, Mr. and Miss Bradley, made an excursion into the country over the river on last Tues day. They enjoyed themselves to their hearts' conteot upon young nature's beautiful carpet under the partial shades of the budding trses. Fun and frolic prevailed, and the " good things" of this life, which bad been so boun tifully prepared by kind parents and friends were disposed of amidst general hilarity and good feeling. We hope that this seasonable reorestion may induce the participants, as it doubtlessly will, to renewed efforts in their studies, increase their thorst for knowledge, and contribute lo prepare them all the better for the cares and duties of the future." * Shooting Affray at Washington, Washington, May B.—Mr. Herbert, a mem ber of IkAHouse of Represelatives from Cal ifornia, snot the head wsiter at Willard'e Ho tel this morning, killing bim instantly. Mr. Herbert has been arrested, aod the matter is now undergoing investigation. The circumstances, a* nearly aa at present can be ascertained, are, that while Mr. Herbert was taking a late breakfast at the public table of the hotel, a waiter "gave him some inso lence," when Mr. H. called for another wai ter, who came and alco treated him insolent ly- Two or three other waiters then came up and commenced an assault on Mr. Herbert with ohairs, plates, dishes, &c. They then grappled bim, when several gentlemen stand ing by interposed, but retreated on being turned jipon by the waiters. Mr.'Herbert fired only when it became evident that It was the design of Ihe waiters to kill bim. After one was killed, two othara cotnmen- . eed assaulting him till he wss rescued by his friends. Mr. Herbert is aided by eminent counsel. Gen. Lean and Mr. MoCay of Cal ifornia, witnessed the whole affair. w The politioal Abolitionist*, headed by Garret Smith, Lewie Tappan, and William Godeil, have oalled a national eonvention, to meet at Syracuse, on (be 28ih of May, to nominate national oandidstee favorable lo < the abolition of slavery. They say that the \ Repnblioan parly done not go far enongh; its anti-slavery being confined to Kansas. 11* New Policy of Raul*. If Iho tperor Alexander ia honest, in w h* he d< skras shall be the policy of Rus- I sia herrfifi r a new career, and one more I brilliant th never, lies before that nation. — • I hare is n country on the face of lbs globe ! which nee ipeace, as a permanent polioy, ' more than hia. Her vast territories, her l aoanty pop Jttion, and her undeveloped re sources, re pit the construction of railroads, l a repose fr swar, and the general diffusion i of manuftolklralt The cardinal error of the late empcrii's life, and that whioh, with re tributive jistice, brought him to a prematura grave, wit hi* preference for the tinsel of war ratbdrkhan for the arts of peace. It is true that hdfid not wholly negleot the latter. But, iasteaqif making them his principal aim, he rag ded them as subsidiary to the former. Tt I consequences were that Eu rope was ki l in a state of constant dread from bis va armies, and never ceased to be suspioiot mf his ambition. It was this and almost lis entirsly, which led to the late straggle Nicholas had so long main tained the a itude of a trained bully, ready to fight at th slightest opposition to his de signs, that Rigland, at least, felt that war must come atsome time, and that it had bet ter come no 4 than later. Had Nichqss pursued the policy which Alexander prcf oses to pursue, not only would Europe have iseo free from alarm but Russia would haMrteeD stronger, to-day, than she was evernbslore the war broke out. That the late empetor looked to war, rather than to peace, as the true polioy, is to be attributed partly to his personal character, and partly to his being the successor of a monarch who bad taken a different line, and had, in conse quence, indirectly weakened the power of •he crown. " For there can be no donbt that liberal principles will extend in Russia, as everywhere else, in exact proportion to the extension of industrial pursuits. Nicholas, so far as the temporary interests of the house of Romsnoff were concerned, was correct in his policy ; bit so far as the interests of Rus sia were at stake, or even the permanency of bis dynasty, his was wrong. His successor has ohosen a wiser, because mora compre hensive polioy. Whether he has done this from temperament, from a national reaction against hi* father's policy, or from settled convictions c< its being better for his house as well as lor'itis country, it is, as yet, diffi cult to say. But we recognise, in this change of policy—indeed we recognise in the history of Russia for a century back—a new proof ot the great truth, that even in despotic coun tries, there is a certain, though slow progress, from slavatppnd absolutism to liberty and free goverffownt. The world is moving on, let dotards croak as thsy will.— Ledger. Wrangling over the Plunder. —The follow ing extract of a confidential letter from a "free Stale" man in Kansas, appears in the last issue of the New York "Anti-Slavery Standard OSAWATOMII, Kan 68, April 10, 1856. * * Probably four-fifths of the actual settlsrs are in lavor of a tree State, but much to my surptise, and more to ray sorrow, I fouud that a majoww qf these were governed yfry ojr pitw>pio. TUO term abolitionist fs used here more than at home as a reproach. Ther. there are too many seeking office; they have been growl ing together like dogs over a bone. A ma jority are in favor of "the Black law"—a taw exoluding free negroes from the Terri tory —one, in my opinion, degrading to men who have just been fighting and yet will have to fight for their own liberties. "Excluding free negroes from the Terri tory !" Those "free-state" squatters must be looked after. The Northern aid societies hare been botching their work; for of what value is freedom to Cuflee if he is to be kick ed out of the country for being free ? This, we dare say, however, is a practical illustra tion of the philanthropy ot the Sewardites whsn brought to the lest. All sheer hypoc risy. The Bounty land Law —The House, as well as the Senate, adopted the report of the Joint Committee of Conference on the bill amendatory of the Bounty Law of 1855. The bill provides that parol evidence, where no reoord exists, may be admitted to prove military service performed; construe* the Bth section of the aot of 1855, to embrace officers, marines, seamen, and other persons engagsd in the naval servioe during the Rev olutionary war, and their widows and minor children, and allowing, to oompleta the lime of service, one day for every twenty miles from the plaoe where the troops organized to muster, and also on their return alter dis cbarge. Land Warrant Forgeriet. —The statement that forgeries of land warrant* have been discovered at Washington to the extent of a million of acres is said to be an exaggera tion. A gang of forgers in these operations wara detected at New Orleans soma time ago, who had their plans prepared for large issues, perhaps even to the extent represent ed, but the certificates and apparatus were seized by the authorities, and consequently the whole scheme failed. FURNACE BURNED. —The blast furnace be low town was burned on Friday morning last. The furnace had recently been repair ed, and preparations were making to put ill new boilers. Ws have not learned how the fire originated, not how muoh the loss was. After lying idle for a long time, the Furnace wts brought into life through the energy of Mr. MoCauly, and now, in his misfortune, the publio sympathy will be with him.— Ex. tW Mr. A. E. Straub, a son of the Hon. C. M. Straub, of SebuylkiU county, lately made a pleaaant trip through Europe from whioh hi* friends in this county will be pleased to leant that be has lately returned in good health and fine apirils. Hi* journey extend ed as far East as to Egypl- Carriege drivers wonld make the best sol diers in the world, as no troop could ever stand thair charges. Australia exported 950,000,000 gold in '55. Extraordinary Speech of the Ciar. The Czar ha* been on a visit to Moscow. He addrsased the civil and militsr) aothori- < ties in the following manner, which is the • compliment to the manifesto lately issued at t St. Petersburg ; it explains the views and i confirms the promises put fonh in that re- i raarkable document. "Gentlemen : The war is over; for I rati- | fied the treaty of.peace which had been < signed at Paris before I left St. Petersburg. lam bsppy to be able to announce the news i to you officially, and to repeat to the nobility of Moscow the words which I addressed to I my people in my last manifesto. Russia '. was able to defend herself for many years to oome, and I believe that, no matter what foroes were brought against her she was in vulnerable on ber own territory. But I fell that it was ray duty, in lbs real interests of the country, to lend an ear to proposals com patible with the national honor. War is an abnormal state, aud the greatest successes obtained by it scarcely compensate for the evils tl ocoasions. It bad caused an inter ruption of the commercial relation* of the Empire with most of the States of Europe I should certainly have carried it on had not the voioe of neighboring States pronounced itself against the policy of late years. My father, of imperishable memory, had his reasons for acting as he did. 1 knew his views, and I adhere to them from my very sool; but the treaty of Paria hai obtained the object whioh it was his ambition to ob tain, and I prefer this means to war. "Many of yon, I am aware, regret that I should have so readily accepted the propoai tiona made to rne. It was my duty as a man, and as the head of a great empire, either to reject or accept them frankly. I have honor ably and conscientiously fulfilled that duty. I am sure that allowances will be made for the difficult position in which I was placed, and that shortly every devoted friend of Ruaaia will reader justice to my views and inten tions for the welfare of the country. "Supposing the fa'e of arm* should have remained constantly favorable to us, as it has been in Asia, the empire would have ex hausted its resources in keeping up large ar mies on different points, the soldiers of which would in a great measure be taken away from agriculture and labor. In the gov ernment of Moscow itself, many manufacto ries have been compelled, to close. I prefer the real prosperity of the arts-of peace to the vain glory of combats. * " I have thrown open the ports of Rnssia to the commerce of the world, the frontiers to the free circulation of foreign produce. I wish, henceforth, that the greatest facility shall be afforded in our markets for the ex change of ware of every origin, and of the raw materials and manufactures of our toils. Various projects will shortly bs communica ted to you, the object of which will be to , give an impulse to home industry, and in which, I trust, every nobleman will take a | share." I A Magnificent Masonic Temple. —A Masonic | Temple is to be built in New York, which, I in size and magnifioence, will surpass any I edifice of the kiod in the wotld. It is to be 1 A.. s.gh, 100 foei froit, and 125 feet deep, and will oontain ample accommoda tions for the grand lodge and all the subor dinate lodges, chapters, encaptpment, and councils. It will be built of brown sand stone or marble, and will cost, it is supposed 9400,000. The site has not yet been be da-1 cided upon. Cost of the Late War— The N. Y. Herald after an elaborate calculation, thus sums up ! the probable coel of the late Eurogpan war: Cost of material, ammuni tion, &c., 81,200,000,000 Value of 500,000 men killed 500,000,000 Loss from the diversion of productive agents 100,000,000 Loss from courlatlment of trade 25,000,000 Sundries say 10,000,000 Total 81,835,000,000 t7" The Sandy Hill Herald, commenting on the call for a convention by the Gerrit Smith abolitionists, truthfully remarks :-"The faot is, and Gerrit knows it, the black repub licans don't want to kill slavery at all. As well kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Do you think the old Indisn would shoot the old she wolf, so long as wolf scalps brought a premium at the agency 1 No more do these black republican* want slavery killed, for then there would be no scalps for them." Another Treaty with Mexico. —On the au •thority of a letter from Mexico, which it in serts, the Journal of Commerce states that our Minister to Mexico bat essentially ad justed the terms of a Convention with the Comonfort Administration, by which we are to acquire another slice of Mexican territo ry—how large ia not stated, nor the prioe to be paid for it. IT At the late Borough election in Sun bury the Know Nothing ticket was defeated, and Charles J. Bruner, Esq., a Democrat, elected Burgess. The old Line Whigs and Democrats joined in the formation of their ticket. In 1864 Governor Pollook had a ma jority of 115 in Sunbury. In 1855 Bergstres ser the K. N. candidate for Representative, , had a majority of 57. But the days of the conspirators are numbered. HP We alip the following from the Boston HeraId— "WANTED.—An agant for a politioal party, to be stationed at St. Louis, and act during the presidential campaign as a telegraphic correspondent and manufacturer of Kansas troubles." HP "The British Government are prepar ed to give way, but they will not recall Mr. Cramptoo, and they are also prepared to communicate to the United States Govern ment, that tbey are uowaveting in their de termination to continue him in hi* present position, as British Minister to Washing ton." t&" Charles Broughter, the late Cashier of tba Lancaster Savings' Institute, who was in dicted for embezzling the funds of tha Insti tution, has been acquitted. The Treaty of Peaee. The London Daily News has lucoeeded in obtaining a copy of the Peace document, which ie coneideted authentic. ' It containe -j thirty-four articlee. The tlrat restores perpet ual friendship between Great Britian, SardinJ ia, Turkey, France and Prussia.

Fourth —The Allies restore to Rossia the towns and ports of Sebastopol, Balsklara, Kamiesuh, Eupatoria and Kertscb. Articles Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth are wanting. JVtnfA—The Sultan communicated to the powers his firman granting equality to Chris- j 1 tians, which the contracting'powers much ap- | prove of, but divest themselves of all right ( thereby to interfere in the internal admin istration of the government of lbs Ottoman Empire. Tenth— The Convention of 13th of July, 1841, closing the Bospborusand Dardanelles, is le-affirmed. Eleventh —The Black Sea is neutralized and forever forbidden to all ships of war of every power, adjoining or distant, with the excep tions in articles 14tb and 19th. Twelfth —Trade shell be free in the Blaok Sea waters and ports, subject only to police < regulations, Russia and Turkey admitting consuls to all ports on its shores. .Thirteenth —Tha Black Sea being neutral ized, strong holds become useless; coose- ] quently, Turkey and Russia agree neither to construct nor preserve any maritime arsenals on the coast. Fourteenth— The Convention regulating the force of ships for homa service, is concluded individually between Turkey and Russia, but is appended to this treaty, and oannot be al tered without general assent. Fifteenth —The act of Congress of Vienna, relative to river navigation, is.applied to the Danube and its mouths, and its freedom be comes a part of the' law of the Empire. Sixteenth —To carry article Fifteen into ef fect, France, Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia and Turkey appoint each a delegate to put the river in a navigable state, from Isat cba to Tza.

The new frontier starts from the Black Sea, one mile east of Lake Bomona Sola to the Akerman Road, along which extends the valley of Ta gran, passing south of Belgrade, and re-as cends to the River Yalpack to Savatsiki, and terminates at Xamaria, on the River Prulh. Elsewhere it is unchanged. Twenty-first —This ceded territory is annex ed to Moldavia. Twenty-second —Moldavia and Wallachia continue under the Sovereignty ol Turkey, with the guarantee of all the contracting Pow ers that no Power shall olaim the individual right of interference. Twenty-third —The Porte guarantees to the said Principalities the oontincance of free dom of religion and commerce.

ORE AT DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH t The municipal election in Philadelphia on Tuesday, was one of the greatest political revolutions that has ever occurred in this country. Two yeafs ago, the secret Know- Nothing organization, then in the height of its power, carried the consolidated city by over 8,000 majority; and no# we behold every candidate on the Democratic ticket elected by an average majority exceeding m 4,000, together with a large majority of Dem ocrats to the City Councils, Board of Health, &o. The people rose in their majesty and might, and rebuked the imbecility, intolar- < ance, stupidity, and wasteful extravagance ' of their Know Nothing rulers, in so wither ing and overwhelming a manner, that the party, once so boastful of its strength, has been completely prostrated, and ignomini ously consigned "To the vile dust from whence it sprung, Unwept, unhonored, and unsung P* The Democratic officers, to whom the peo ple have so confidingly handed over the ad ministration of tha city government for the next two years, have only to carry out the work of retrenchment and reform so imperi ously demanded by an outraged and tax ridden community, and to which they stand pledged, and Philadelphia will ever remain true to the party in whose fivo: she has just decided. • Philadelphia Markets.

POTTSVILLE RAILROAD IRON. —The Potts ville Rolling Mill is making rails of excellent quality out of old condemned rails, taken from the tracks of the Reading road. They aie cut up and re-rolled at the rate of about 15 tons per day.

It seems that if a man be found drunk on the street, the constable haa the authority to taae him before the nearest Justice ol the Peace, whose duly it is to fine the culprit five dollars.
