Importations thus restricted must. tvces

perfectly free, and a number of vessels

With all their sophistry and fulee state

lcutg agony is over.
A LW to ri n tile State Congression
al Di ,, tiicts ha> paled both Houses. It
is now in th- han•ls of the Governor, and
there is no doubt but that he will sign it.
The history n!' the passage of this Bill is
somewhat interesting, since a portion of
the whig party denounce its provisions as
unjust.
The Bill was originally reported in the
House. It was sent to the Senate, and
that body amended it by substituting an
entire new Bill. In this shape it wac re—
turned to the House. The House then
instead of insisting on the original Ilill,
adopted another one—in parliamenty
phrase amended the Senate amendments,
and sent them back. The Senate refused
to concur in the House amendments, and
transmitted a message to that effect. The
House then insisted on its amendments,
which were contained in the Bill that pass.

whip voted, The following are the yeas

Thus, we have a majority of the whig
members of the House sanctioning the
provisions of this Bill. This being the
fact, the denunciation from that quarter
comes but with an ill grace. True, they
allege that the alternative was forced upon
them of voting for the House, or fur the
Senate Bill, and that both Bills were ob
noxious 'to them. Such is not the case,
however. Had they been united, or de •
tired it, they could have had, with the aid
of the d ssatisfied Democrats, the whole
subject referred to a commil tee of confer.'
etire. This would have given them an
other chance, and probably they, would
have got a Bill to please some of their lea.
tiers better than it appears the one which
has passed does.
The vute in the Senate shows also that
even there the whigs held the fate of this
Bill in their hands. Had not Mr. Craig of
Washington voted for it, it would have
been defeated. The following are the

This morning the 'House titok up. the
Bill to apportion the State for Senators
and Representatives in the State Legisla
ture. The Senatorial Districts were sr.
ranged, and tome progress made towards
fixing the number of Representatives for
each county. When Allegheny county
was reached, the number fixed for her by
the committee was opposed by Mr. Karns
and Mr. [Utz because it was considered
too small. The committee alloWed net
but four members, whereas she wanted
but few taxables to entitle her to five. Be
fore this question was determined, the
House adjourns& Allegheny and Bea—
ver counties are annexed in a Senatorial
District and elect two Senators.
In the %nate the Rill to change the
mode of "selecting Canal Commissioners
was under consideration, and several
sections of it were passed. An amend
ment prohibiting any membt r of the pres ,
ant Legiilature form serving as a commis.
sinner for the first year was adopted. The
Bill win pass that body by a large major.

vides that a new Board shall be elected
by the Legislature, within ten days after
the passage of the Bill, the vote stood—

Fendish Murder of a Female.—At
Leeds, England, in the month of January,
the trunk or a human body, apparently
that of a female, was found floating in the
river. The head, legs, and arms had been
cut off, and the body horribly crisped and
charred, as though much eff irt had been
made to consume it Hy fire. A young wo—
man named Garside, about twenty years
of age, had been missing f'r some time
before the discovery of the body, and her
parents went to view the remains, but they
were so horribly mutilated that recogni
tion was impossible. Our last advices
give no further clue to the perpetrators of
this uoparalleled outrage, but they state
that the impression was verry general
that the mutilaiion of the body ivls done to
conceal a foul outrage upon th- victim, by
some inhuman wretches. The excitement
in the place was very great—police. peo
ple, magistrates and all were on the alert
to dicover the murderers. A reward of
£2O, arida froo par l•m, had hcen offered
to ally accomplice who would turn Queen's
evidence, and reveal the principal in the
affair.

Fatal affray.— About 9 o'clock yester
day mornin , a reconire look place on board
the steamboat President, between Captain
Cyprian Rhodes, pilot of that boat, and
Mr. Warden P. Steavenson, pilot of the
the steamboat Swan, in which the former
was shot through the breast with a pistol,
arid died in a few minutes; not, however,
until he had inflicted several woun is up
on Steavens.in with a knife, which are be.
lieved mortal. Stevenson was a young
man; and, we are inforaied,felt aggrieved
about some expressions Captain R. had
made respecting him to a young lady; and,
in consequence, sent a letter cu Wednes
day evening, asking an explanation. On
yesterday morning, having received a re
ply, in which Captain R. informed him he
would give him hickory when he saw him,
he proceeded immediately to the social
hall.of the President, which R. seeinglhim,
told him he had now got him just where
he wanted him; when the affray began
which resulted as above stated. Two
witnesses were sworn before the coroner's
inquest, who were present; but neither of
them.could say which of th panics cow.

Massachusetts.—The'House of Repre
sentatives, in the election of Speaker, was
inflicted with the King's Evil" by one
majority. This result was effected by ex
cluding Mr. Nash, the Democratic member
from Whately, from his seat. The House,
which was thus made Whig, has since ex
amined the matter with more deliberation,
and admitted Mr. N. to his seat. This Whig
House have ilk.° turned out the famous "in
ter'oper" from Chelsea and three other
Whigs. The House now has a decided
Democratic majority. The Boston Post
asks if Mr. Speaker King, having been ev'
idently elected by illegal votes, will not
have the manliness to resign. If he does
not, we trust the House will purge itself of
the disease under which it is suffering.
Contested Election in Nets Orleans.—
The subjAzt of the election of Representa
tives from the city of New Orleans to the
legislature nt that state, is at present rnder
examination before the body. The whip
got possession of the seats, and the demo.•
cratic candidates contest their right.
The New Orleans Couriet says: "The
reading of the testimony of a number of
Whig witnesses, establishing in the clearest
manner that the cab votes had deed led the
July election, produced quite a sensation
among all parties in the House, and out of
the House."
New Hampshire Election
The triumph of ;he true-blue democracy,

traitor, Isaac Hill, is entirely discomfited
and overthrown; may such be the fate of all
such renegades to Democracy. There are,

result is as follows: Hubbard, 19,765; Col

over White, the Conservative, 14,888; over

In short, every candid man who will ermine
this subject must be convincod that the course of
Canal - Commissioners in this matter has been ju
dicious and proper. In my opinion they will
ere long find it advantageous t.'.l the intctestsof the
state, to hold out such inducements to all Iran.-
porter, to adopt the new system, as will gradually
bring all into its use. The following extract from
the Cincinnati Gazette of the 20th inst., will give
the reader some idea of the importance attached
to the introduction of int:ividual enterprise on our
works in that city.

A Bciston paper hss a letter from Men
tal:iris, which gives a mote circumstantial
account of the chase given to the schooner ..
off the 'lsle of Pines' by the U. S. brig
Boxer, than has before been published.—
Au of f icer of the brig informed, that off the
island th.y fell in 'vith a 'low, long, rakish
looking' schooner which this officer
thought very like the 'San Antonie,' which
he had seen in Texas. They gave chase
to her, hoisted the French fig, and the,
schooner showed no signals till a gun was
fired from the brig, when she showed the
Spanish ensign. The officer said she sail
ed like a witch, and soon tan away from
them. They were about four miles off,
when first they made the schooner.

(Ohio,) Democrat says that a Mrs. Gond,
speed of that place, committed suicide
ast Friday week by hanging herself by a
clothes line, which she tied to a rafter
whilst standing on a chair, and then kick
ing away the chair, remained suspended
until the return of her husband. She was
affected by some scandalous reports, which
were the cause the rash act. She left no
children.

The bill passed the House, unanimously,
some two days ago; and it will be likely
to r o thro' the council with some degree
of favor. Thus there is now one virgin

Mr. R. E. Serer---For aeveral p era I was the
Ellbj,Cl °ea most Unividdi.,g attack of the Liver,
complaint. It would be useless cur me to attest - pt
to ri , e y , :u an account of m? suffering, as it edged
only bi• felt, not describ.d. But such wus the se
verity of my disease, that for days and weeks to.
gethcr, I knew not whether I should ever
er my usual heal,h.
I continued in this wretched condition, until the .
Christian Advocate fell into my hand end upon'
comparing the symptoms of a diseased liverse
given in the advertisement with my own, I found
that they corresponded in nearly every particular.
From that circumstance I a as induced to try your
justly popular Liver Pills, and you may be aeons
red that it is with the greatest pleasure that I in,
form you that the Liver Pills have been of more
service to me than all other reu.edies I have ever
used, and I now enjoy better health than I have
done fur the last eight years.
