[The Relief Bill, an passed by both house", is substantially the same as reported by the Senate Committee, and which originally pass ed that body, with the addition of foor sec tions, the substance of which is ss follows: Section 8 authorizes the Collector of taxes and tolls, &c., and the County Treasurer, to receive, f or State phrposes, tho notes of sol vent banks, though not specie paying. Section 9 reserves the right of the I-egis lature to alter, revoke or annul the charlttt of i any Bank accepting the provision of this act, whenever iu their opinion the same may prove injurious to the citizens of the Com monwealth. Section 10 prohibits Banks and Saving Institutions from purchasing the notes of oth er incorporated banks, at less than par. Section 11 prohibits the sale of Blocks, bonds, promissory notes and other securities thkt have been hypothecated; from being •old for a period of six months, without the consent of the debtor being first had. The time fixed for the resumption is the second Monday of April, the time as it paseed the Senate originally.] Evening Session —The House, while await , ing the action of the Governor, passed the t joint resolution for a final adjournment at 10 • o'clock. A DIFFERENCE. —A correspondent of the London Record notices a pleasing contrast between tbe conduot of two distinguished viiitors now in England. The ooe ie the Queen of Netherlands, who, on Sunday, went to Manchester and attempted to gain admis sion on thst day to tbe great exhibition of (he work* of art now held there. She, however, failed, notwitheianding her royal claims. Tbe other is ec officer in tbe United Stales navy, \ now in oorEmand of the Steamship Saeqao hanna. Entering au English pott on the Lord's day, he refrained from firing the usual salute until Monday morning; thus showing deserved respect to the ins'.itotions, both of the oountry te which be belonged and that of wlych lie was visiting.

WEAVER, EDITOR. Hlooinsbnrx, Wtdoesdny, Oct- 21, 1857. THE RKLICr 111 1,1. Which the extra legislators passed is about such • measure el tolly and mischief as was to be expected. In after years it mill be ranked with the relief law of 1841, and, in deed, it has hardly as much wisdom in is as the sßinplaster measure. The third section of the present law is clearly unconstitutional in making bank notes a legal tender in pay ment by one bank to another ol those who paid specie on the first of September last.— The constitution of the United Slates provides < in its lOdt section of the first article as fol lows : I 11 No State shall enter into any treaty, alli ance or confederation, grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money ; emit bills of cred it ; mi'ke anything hat gold and siher coin a tender in payment of debts, tfc." This, of course, is in direct conflict with the action of the legislature, who moat like ly never looked at the Constitution of the United Stales during their session. They last winter decided that such wisdom as theirs is worth a "leetle" more than that of their "illustrious predecessors," by raising their pay, and if tliey could hold several more ses sions. some people might believe them. The attempt made in another section to legalize the payment of lolls, taxes, &c., with bank notes is equally unconstitutional ; and fortunately, no department of our Stale Government is yet so degraded as to be com pel'ed to do its business with a currency at five per cent, discount, ny longer than it sees fit. The seventh section contains the false prin ciple of openly levying a bonus for justice. It is the doctrine of the old highwayman of ro mance, who look from the rich and gave to the poor, paying himself liberally for his ser vices. If this measure is just, the banks and the people are entitled to it without money and without price; for it is to that end that leg islation is established. If the measure be wrong it ought not to have passed for any ptice. This is really holding up the prerog ative of legislation to the highest bidder; just as the same body, along with the Main Line tried to sell the prerogative of taxation. It is fortunate that a Democratic Legisla ture can, at any rale in January, blot the act out of existence. CP 1 We clip the following from a Philadel phia letter: " There is a great deal of gold ir. the hands of individuals, 82,000,000 hav ing been drawn from the banks last week, and thus we do not feel, as yet, the inconve nience of the suspension, as much as might be supposed. This gold will find its way to New York if we remain suspended. The market people to-day would take nothing but aottl and etlvae, thrxiuh they were assured the banks would redeem the notes. IE Ari English firm have expressed their readiness to undertake to lay the Atlantic cable for a slated price, with the aid of the Government vessels, taking all the tisk. They engage that the cable shall be laid from Ire land to Newfoundland by June or July next, or they will claim no recompense, and they will pay to the company ths entire cost of the cable. In the eveut of the cable being laid before June, the stipulated price to be increased at so much per month for each month gained. SALE or FACTORY STOCE.— The 3672 shares of S.ock in Lancaster Cotton Mill, No. 2, owned by David Lougenecker, were sold by Sheriff Martin on Monday last at one cent per •hate—the par value being 850. Tbey were purchased by Fatnum&Co., ol Philadelphia, heavy judgment creditor* of Longeoecker. There is a mortgage loan of 8100,000 on the Mill, so that Longenecker's right, title and interest brought only 836 72. Tue Lancaster Examiner, in noticing this sale, remarks "that but a few months since, it is said, Lougenecker boasted Ibat he own ed one Of the handsomest country seats in Pennsylvania Rnd the finest cotton mill iu the Union, —now the one has passed into the hands of an honest 'hutobur' of our city, and the other into the possession of a party who lose heavily by the failure of the great finan cier of the defunct Lancaster Bank. tW The following ielha whole vole polled | throughout the connty upon the four amend ments to the constitution: Ist. 2nd. 3rd. 4lh.
