Previous to the adjournment, the nominations of Gen.
Terrell as Charge d'Etires :o England and Fiance,
and id . Colonel Reily ns Charge to the United States,
were rejected by the Senate. It is said that the chief
cause of oppesition to these gentlemen was owing to
their hostility to solicitation.
Congress refused to receive the petition or a meet

from which it may be inferred how strongly the meni

The Houston Telegrnph of the Lich inst says: "It

now stored in the wurehou,:e of this city."
The trade between San Antonin and the Rinfirstride
has been much affected of late through the efirta of
that arch traitor, Seguin. Seyeral companies of A
mericans have endeavored w rapture him the past

and escaped their snares in season. The Telegraph
says. that since the days of Agaton, Seguin has been
the worst scourge of Texas. Although he fought on
Huston's side at the battle of San Jacinto, and was af
terwards a Senator in the Texan Congress, he will fare
but badly should he fall into the hands of the Western

The return of the patriotic and heroic Col Navarro
to Texas, on Saturday lust, was hailed by oar citizens
with the utmost enthusiasm. The steamship McKim.
which bore him, came in decorated with flags, and
wee greeted with the discharges of cannon and the
notes of martial music. At the wharf the Mayor and
municipal officers proceeded on .board, to welcome
the dungeon-worn veteran, which was done in an ap
prodriate and feeling speech by the Mayor, and res
ponded to in glowing and touching terms by Col Na
varro, in pure Castilian, and rendered into English by
Col Williams. The returning patriot disembarked,
and proceeded, uncovered and leaning upon the arms
of the Mayor and his old friend Col W., and escorted
by the Board of Aldermen along the wharf, upon which
were drawn up to receive him the volunteer military
companies and the great mass of the male population
of that place. He was thou escorted to the Tremont
by the mjinicipal authnrities, the military and the citi

SUFREME JUDICIAL COURT U. S.-CASE
OF MR. DORR.
In tuts wer to nianyinquiries in relation to thepresent
situation of Mr. Dort, and of his appeal to the Su
preme Court. we learn that his counsel (Mr. Hallett,
ref Boston,) bus succeeded in obtaining a writ of error
from the Supreme Ci Ulf. int ected to the supreme
court of Rhode Island, requiring the tecord in the
case to be sent up for examination by this court.—
The a rit and citation have issued. upon the return of
which from the uuthol ilien of Ru•ale Island, Mr Dorr's
counsel will move for an -entry and hearing at this
term of the court, it practicable. on the ground ol it.
being a question affecting personal liberty. The court,
it is understood, will cominue in devalue until about
the 10th of March. The writ of error in Governor
Dotes case itivolves mainly the question of State trea
son—whether the, act of levying war against a State
of this Union, (of which alleged offencs Governor Dorr
was oonvicted,) and attempting by such war to deprive
the existing powers of authorities of the powerto send
senators and representatives to Congress, as well as
subverting the State government, is nut embraced in
the offence of levying war against the 'United States,
and not punishable in a State court.
Another case, Luther es Borden, is now pending
for argument in the Supreme Court, which raises the
direct issue of the validity of the people's constitution,
adopted by a majority of the whole people, without
consent of the legislature, in the absence of all previa
sion by law or in the charter of Rhode Island, to call
a convention, or to alter the form of government, ex
cept by consent of the King of Great Britain. This
will test, so far as this court goes, the vital que,stion of
the sovereignty of the people in their great reserved
right to alter, abolish, or refortn a frame of govern
ment without the consent of their rulers. Mr WaFker,
of Mississippi, as senior counsel, is associated with
Mr. Hallett in both of the above causes. Mr. Whip

PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, FL:I3RUARY, 17
Inaavltrows..LtaafWTT.—Wer regret to say that in
the proceedings of the Muse in relation to the dialler
of tire Commercial Bank of Philadelphia, we see in
dications of wavering on the subject of the individual
liability of stockholders in all chartered corporations.
The principle of individual liability that was adopted
by the last Legislature, has been re-affirmed by the
prevent one, and is folly approved by the Governor;
therefore we cannot see that it is in any danger of be
ing abandoned. Still, the behaviour of the House in
the matter of the Commercial Bank is in the highest
degree reprehensible. At the last session this
bank applied fur an extension of its charter, and the
bill which was passed for that purpose imposed upon
the stockholders individual liability for the tedemp
tion of their issues, at the same time making die prin
ciple applicable to all banks hereafter incorporated as
well as those whose charters shall be renewed. The
Commercial Bank took exc , •ptions to the pro , . i-ion a
of that bill, pronounced its restrictions short-sighted,
inconsiderate, and any thing but calculated to inspire
public confidence in banking institutions, and expres
sing the opinion that °theta more salutary could be a
dopted, have applied for a new act renewing their
charter and dictating to the Legislature the terms upon
which it shall be 'panted. The provisions which the
Bank wishes substituted for individual liability, not
only in their own case, but all others, authorize
quarterly returns to the Auditor General, of all notes
in circulation of the denomination of $5O and under,
and the transfer to and deposit with the State Treasu
trr, in trust, stocks of this Conrimonweeth,t; States
stocks or other seem itit.s, equal in amount to the is
sues of tire batik, to be held as security for the redemp
tion of such issltes, in catieof the Bank's failure; and
in the event of a failure to deposit such security, the
stockholders to be individually liable es provided in the
act of last year; this liability however, as is the securi
ty, is confined to notes of $3O arid under. The bill
also provides that the stockholders shall be liable for
all issues of the denominations mentioned, over the
amount of - security, until additional security is offered.
Thus stands the case with the Legislatute and the
Bank, and it presents a picture most humiliating to
eves y true patriot. In clear accordance with the will
cf the people the Legislature had adopted the principle
of individual liabilities, and declared that it should be
the basis of all charters granted for business purposes.
A chartered company, seeking extension of its privil
eges, comes into the halts of the Assembly, urges a
departure from this safe and excellent principle. and
proposes a plan wider which it desires a charter, and
asks that is may be adopted in relation to all charters
that may, in future, be granted. &eh dictation should
be indignantly spurned Ly every. honest man in the
Legislature, and although, by some unaccountable in
fluence, the dictated charter was got through the com
mittee of the whole, we will not believe that it can
finally pass. It is nothing more than a scheme, so
obscured and cloudy, so surrounded with douLt and
mystification, that its meaning will be a matter of dis
pute, and the Banks Hill cut Gordian knot, and get
tin ought all its apparent restraints, whenever it is their
interest to do so, even as they did all law. restraibing
their outrageous proceedings. a few years ago.—
What the people w not is the absolute and °neon :1-
tional personal liabilify of all stockholders in every
company to which is granted the privilege of issuing
bank notes, or to carry on any other profitable busi
ness. And if the integrity of the Legislature should
yield to the importunities of bank borers, (and we do
not fear that it will do en) we have sure reliance in the
firmness and honesty of our democratic Executive.
A SHARP TRICK —A man who was engaged in the
business of loading and unloading steamboats, and
who ( whether he did or not otright t., have sprung from
the "land of wooden nutmegs," because of the Yan
kee adroitness with which he manages his Oldie;
boarded a beat that just arrived at our wharf, and
made a bargain far himself and two or three compan
ions, to unload the boat for $1 a piece. As he turned
to go about the performance of his contract, a brawny
German, who was present while it was making, told
the clerk of the boat that he and his company would
do the work for 75 cents a piece. The clerk, who
had not entirely closed with the offer of the Yankee,
agreed to the German's proposal. and he and his
company went to work well pleased with their success.
The Yankee was vexed "considerable," but did not
evince much feeling on the subject—he said he "didn't
care a darn about the job no how." And telling his
friends that they "better be looking around fur sun
thin' to do," he left the boat.
He soon learned that another boat was expected
the next morning, heavily laden with molasses and
sugar. So, when the morning came be dressed him
self in his beat apparel, and come down to the wharf
where be found his successful rival and his country
men. patiently waiting (or what might offer in the way
of their calling. He told them that he had a "has
chore he should like they'd attend to for him," and the
guileless emigrants were soon trudging after him up
street to the place where his work was to be done.—
They came to a vacant lot, where there were several
large piles of pig metal—the Yankee told the Ger
i
man* that he wanted that metal all moved over to
the other side of the lot; he also told them that if any
' person attempted to interfere with labor. "not to pay
no attention to 'em at all, but jolt gu on with thy
job." He also told them that he was going away,
and "rather gue4sed' he would not be beck till they
were about through.
The Germans went to work, and their deceiver wen t
home, changed his clothes, and hurried to the what f,
which die reached just as the expected steamboat ar
rived. Nut having any person to compete with or
underbid him, he seemed the job of unloading her at
a good price, and got through with it in good time.
About dinner time he took occasion to go by the lot
where his German friends were employed, and saw
'the poor fellows toiling on as happily as if they had
their pay in their possessiou. He felt inclined to un
deceive them, bat dare not do so. They were soon
after interrupted by the owr.cr of the metal, who had
no little trouble to make them desist from their labor,
they finally "recd. however, to stop till the gen
tleman who employed them would come along; b u t
they gravely allege that theyhave never seen him since'
and that he is a very great "rake" and a ''sheet."

THE CA isui ET.—The mystery of the new Cabinet
is a fruitful theme for the wags at Washington. Here
is one of the anecdotes afloat concerning the matter.
A gentleman who bad served in Congress with Mr.
Pots, and who was an intimate acquaintance, was ta
king en early walk, and in his perambulations happen
ed to meet the President elect. He hailed him, "Good
morning, Colonel,—have you any information as to who
will form the new cabinet?" "I have not had any in
formation on that subject this morning," replied the
President, "and all the news I can give you is the last
rumor. They say, however, that these rumors are nut
to be relied on; the public thinks that nobody knows
any thing about the cabinet, and many of them are of
opinion that Pot.it don't know himself." This is the
latest and we suppose may be relied on as correct.
lar'Among the passengers in the Hibernia is Nuns
Phiilipp, the celebrated and unrivalled French necro
mancer, whose rare and curious performances have
excited such universal wonder and admiration in the
principal cities of Europe. He brings with him his
astonishing mechanical apparatus, which is said by

DOCTOR EDNIt7ND LANDIS'S
PATENT DOUBLE SPRING TRUSS.
For the ilfthoration aed Cure of Hernia.
HUMANITY is deeply indebted to the ingenuity
and persev mance of Dr Edmund Landis. a citi
zen of Lancaster, Pennrylvania; for a valuable improve
ment in the construction of the Truss for the meliora
tion of Hernia or Rupture, which, after being careful
ly tested by application to a number of patients, has
never failed to give relief, end in most cases has proved
successful in effecting a permanent cure.
This improved Truss has been submitted to the must
eminent members of the medical professi o n, eho, a f.
ter fair trial and examination, have concurred in pro
nouncing it an important discovery, particularly us it
admits of perfect adjustment to the rest of the com
plaint, and of bearing with certainty upon the point
where the pressure is required. without admitting of a
chance of chance ot of shifting by any action of the
muscle•, hip orMaly,—die outer spring, which is very
elastic, only giving, by which arrangement every move
ment is accommodated.
The suffering and imminent danger to life conse
quent upon that most distressing of all complaints,
Strangulated Hemia, need never be apprehended by
persons who wear this improved Truss. and the patient
may cherish a confident hope, that in consequence of
the intestine or omentum never being permitted to
protrude in the slightest degree, that the distended
ring or opening will gradually contract, and a perma
nent cure be effected, when the Truss may be dispens
ed with altogether.
This Truss may he very properly termed, Dr LAN
DIS' COMPOUND SPRING TRUSS: the springs
being, 2 in number, the inner and the outer, the latter
lying over the former. The exterior spring is three
times the length of the interior, upon the end of the
hitter the compress or eliptical pad or block is fasten
ed, which rests upon the affected pert. There is a
small adjusting screw, which pusses through the outer
spring, immediately over the pad or block, and is
formed to bear upon any pelt of the block, so that the
pressure can be made to act immediately upon or over
the rupture with the degree of roma or weight which
the case may require. The whole apparatus is so ad
justed as to fit any peculiarity of form, at the same
time so flexible as to occasion neither inconvenience
nor unensiness to the wearrr,w bile following his usual
avocations.
The following distinguished members of the Med
ical profession have borne ample and unqualified testi
mony to the palliative and curative value and impor
tance of Dr Landis' discovery: George B Kerfoot, M
