HARRISBURG. March 15, 1843
The House this morning, sent back the
Apportionment Bill to the Senate, with a
message that they insisted upon their amend
ments,whichhad been non coccurrid in by
thatirosly-. It is supprs d that the Senate
on to-morrow arec ede, although the
vote will be very close. The Ilcuse a ,
Toendments are contained, with an excep•
lion or two, in a Bill reported some time
ego by Mr. Brawley.
In the afternoon Mr. Karns called up a

the very threshbold, from members who
represent the surrounding counties. They
supposed that its provisions would operate
onerously upon some of their constituents

believe that they were mistaken, and that
some such law as was proposed in Mr.
K.'s bill will be found necessary to secure
the people of Pittsburgh and Allegheny
from imposition. The hill was voted down
on second reading.

*This very useful and comniiiable In—
•stitate, formed by the exertions of Dr.
O'Connor, of Si. Paul's, gave a public ex
. hibition on Friday night. From what we
cal learn, for we did not get in, it wa
so densely crowded wish ladies and gen
tlemen, the performance was highly ere&
stable to the young men belonging to it;
they having , displayed much talent and in.
duetry in preparing for the occasion.—
The opening addrez by the Very Rev.
Dr:O'Connor, is highly spoken of:—
Much good will result from the success
oftbis lostitute, and while under the ails
pices of the Reverend gentletnan ivho
founded it, it twin and will succeed.
The Explosion.—There are so many and
vague rumors in relation to the dreadful
catastrophe of last Friday, that we feel no
guaranty in making any positive statement
as t.i the number of likes lost, the extent of
in damage or the causes 7 hich produced
the accident. We give all the items of in•
fotmation that have reached us.
The number of lives ascertained to have
been lost amounts to three, viz: 111'Carlan,
2nd Enginettu and two black men, who
were drowned.
-The following are the names of the
persons ascertained to have been wounded:
Andrew Smith, badly scalded.
Micheal Bready, do do
Joseph Nichols, slightly scaldcd.
Horny Machin, do
The above were part of the crew of the
Manhattan, who were on beard the Cutter
as passengers.
One black man was badly scalded, and
another slightly.
Two %bite men were slightly •calded,
and a%o a white woman. Their names have
not been ascertained.
Joseph Hughes, lit Engineer, very
badly scalded. His recovery is much
doubted.
The American of Saturday is very se.
vete (mile Captain and the Engineers,but
witig.wliat degree of justice we cannot say.
Public opinion, bnwevPr, seems to acquit
them of any •dirileci ion of duty.
P. S.—.Sinoe•the above was hi type we learn
that, the Ist .Eugineer, Joseph 1102 hes, died at
the house of J. %% intuit on Saturday evening last
at about 9 o'clock.

has sustained and defended the administra.

be gratified with the following compliment
paid him, by the Washington Specta•
tor, and heattily respond to the friendly
wish, that his sojourn abruad may be agree- ' I
able and happy.
[ION. W. W. IRWIN
Having laid by the editorial pen, last
week, as is our wont, before Friday night,
we were not able to make any remarks
upon the final action of the Senate with re
gard to the nominations sent in by the
President. We should, otherwise, have
expressed the *no common gratification
which we felt a the flattering manner in
which the nomination of Mr. !twin, as
Charge d' Affaires to Denmark, was
confirmed. The kindliness of temper and
propriety of bearing so uniformly exhibited
by Mr. Irwin, have won for him gen.
eral regard to such a degree, as entirely to
efface, in his case, the asperity of political
opposition. It is for us to speak of the
warmth of his heart and the generosity of
Iris disposition, and to exprPss cur unbias
sed conviction tilat the iunircsis of me coun
try could n ct be confided to purer or more
competent hands. We wish him and his
amiable family an agreeable and instruc
tive sojourn abroad, as wel as a happy re
turn to a large and attached family circle.

Error Corrected.
The Gazette of Friday last, in a spirit
of chancteristic dishonesty, announces a
previous pardon by Governor Porter, in a
rase of bigamy; charged against an indi
vidual at the "Court of Quarter Sessions in
Beaver county. Had the miserable drone
of that sheet given the least intimation of
the grounds upon which the Executive
clemency was invoked in behalf of the per
son charged with the crime, no notice
would be taken of the v: pouring rif a man
so regardless of truth and fair dealing.
The facts are as follows: the unfortunate
individual prosecuted for the crime of
bigamy is a non compos—a lunatic. An
official record of the proceedings in the
case, established by a most respec:able
Jury before a Commissioner of unsullied
fame, was laid berore the Governor; and
upon due proof that the writ "de lunalico
inquircndo" had reference to the person
named in the charge of bigamy, the Gover
nor very properly extended the mercy
contemplated by our laws to be exercised
in such cases.
The document above referred to is now
on file in the executive office at liarrit:.
burg. One additional fact may also he
mentioned-, Judge Bredm on hearing that
a commission of lunacy had been estah ,
fished in this case, in the exercise of a
humane discretion postponed pronouncing
sentence for the purpose of enabling the
enitrinel of the criminal to exhibit the facts
of the case in extenuation of the charge.

Regular Toasts
1. The 17th of March—Consecrated by
the advent of Christianity to Ireland. We
blush, while we weep, that its blessed spir
it is banished by Tyranny. Injustice and
Plunder.
May we yet live to see St. Patrick's day
in the morning.
2. St. Patrick—Religion will live forev
er. How can his memory die?
3. Ireland—For sorrowing centuries she
has fotyrht the battles, sustained the power
and gorged the rapacity of a proud and
heartless ovressor. In her heart are the
elements of national independence; in her
arm the power to achieve it.
4. The union of 1800—Conceived in
fraud, corruption and "intolerance of Irish
prosperity." The union of Irish hearts at
home and here, will prove sufficient against
one so unnatural, unjust and oppressive.
5. 'Repeal —Universal suffrage, vote by
ballot and severance of Church and State.
Essential to Liberty, Prosperity and Glory
in Ireland.
6. The Memory of Tone, Jackson, M'.
Nevin, Orr, Tandy, Pitzgerald and their
of hearts," that Godlike spirit of toleration,
the opposite of which has made the history
of their native land,
"The g'eo quest picture in the book of time."
8. United States of America —She stands
like the pillar of Pal myra in the midst of
the desert,—a place of consolation and
hope to the way.worn and weary of every
clime.
8. Washington—" His fame is eternity,
his residence creation."
10. The Constituted Authorities of our
adopted Country—Our contempt and ha.
tred of tyrants in the land of our nativity,
teach us to love and respect the choice of
Freemen here , in the land of our adoption.
11. Moore and O'Connell—The bard of
Freedom, and the moral regenerator of his
country; —the sacred lessons of the one,
are reduced to practice by the patriotic ef
forts of the other.
12. Women—The fairest of Nature's
works.

We cannot pretend to give an outline of
Mr. B's remarks, which were concluded
by the declaratit,n that nothing could meet
Mr. Irwin on his arrival at home to create
prouder feelings than those which would
