Since that time, "Chzts come again" has ruled gnegeof the spiritual world. The best part of the book is its light portion,end especially the character of Tuby Veck ; quite a projection, and a single, well defined image, this, though Pickwick and Mn.s Gawp me infinitely better.

EDITORA PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19 Too Mock LEGISLATION.—The'OItio - Leg - Nature has adjourned sine die, and the Statesman contains a list of the acts and Resolutions passed during the ses sion. This occupies more than six columns of the pa per. 'When printed, we suppose they will fill two good sized volumes, ana will take their place along with the shelf loads of laws enacted by former legis latures, which already present a ponderous mass of tautology and contradiction, that mold scarcely be read in a lifetime. There con he no manner of doubt that there has been too much legislation in Ohio: and the evil is not coriAned to that State alone, but is corn. mon to every member of the confederacy. Pennsylva nia starers immensely from this passion of her legisla tors to amuse themselves with new and silly projects, evidently resorted to more for the purpose of killing time and protracting the nessios than any thing else It seems to us that a remedy (partial though it may be) could be found for this evil by holding stated sessions of the legislature but once in three years. It is true, our Solon° might, when they would get together under such an arrangement, make up for lost time, by passing laws more rapidly. But still, they could not do so much, for sheer want of time. Under the existing ar rangemern, an experimenter who wishes to get his name up as the author of a law, may bring in, at. a day's notice, some crude and ill digested project in voking material consequences to the people; be muy urge it in the House, with earnestness if not a ith elo. quencc and sound argument, fur with this lust betakes no trouble to fortify himself, and be may diligently electioneer fur It's scheme °tad doors until it is adop ted. Afier it has become a law, and its injurious practical operation begins to be felt by those who voted for it, many of them for the first time begin to discover that they have committed an error, and often seek to excuse themselves by saying that the law can be repealed at the next session, and can not vex the people for more than a year! If the sessions of our legislature were triennial, there would be much more care and deliberation used in the preparation and a doption of laws. Then, members would not compro mise with their conscience: and vote for bills of doubt ful utility or propriety, under the suggestion that if the law proposed would prove injurious or oppressive, it could soon be repealed. instead of hasty projects and fancy experiments in logi4lation, we should have cautious, careful and practical movements. And a nother argument in favor of triennial sessions, on ar gument, too, that the condition of our Treasury makes important, is the great reduction of expenses that would result from it. We do believe that if the peo ple were to reflect on the proposition. they would con clude that they could get along quite as well with one third of the legislation we now have. JOURNAL OF IN3ANITT.—A new work with this title bas appeared in New Yotk. It is devoted to the elucidation of the subject of Insanity, statements of the progress of particular cases, the result of the va rious modes of treatment, and the discovery of means to mitigate the sufferings of those stricken with that terrible malady. We cannot sufficiently admire the noble pltilautht °pity of those who have devoted them selves to the objects above recounted. The New York papers notice a number of the Journal, embellished with a view of the New York Insane Institution at Utica, and filled with valuable and interesting matter, on the subject of which it treats. This notice. unimportant as it may seem, furnishes food for painful reflection to every Penn.ylvanian.— While we rejoice fur humanity's sake, that our sister commonwealth has advanced so far in this labor of benevolence—while we see with pleasure that she has built a noble edifice as a refuge for her insane, and in voked the power of the press to spread abroad the means of meliorating their condition,—we must hang our heads in shame if asked, What has Pennsylvania done in this great and good work 7 While millions of taxes are levied, collected and spent, with but little regard to economy or the good of the commonwealth, we cannot afford to spare a few thousands to establish State Asylum for the insane. It is a disgrace to old Pennsylvania, for which her lawgivers should make atonement as ample and speedy as is in their power. NEW HAMPSAIRE.—The Boston Post or Friday, contains return* Gum GO tots ns in New Hampshire, which are enough for a reliable calculation as to the re stilt for Governor of that State. STEEL, dem., will probably be elected by about 500 of a majority over all others. He a ill beat the n big candidate about 10,000. The democratic Congress ticket is undoubt edly elected, including Mr NVonnauttr, the special competitor ofJonst P HALE. In 53 towns, 54 demo ctats, 20 whigs and 2 abolitionists are elected to the "House of 'Representatives. The democrats will have strong majorites in both branches. The Whigs, postai .l4, may have one member in the Senate. This, under the circumstances, is a glorious victory for the Democrats of the Granite State. The defec tion of H.1.1.x at a critical moment, the very eve of the election, not only disconcerted our friends fora time, 'but gave unwonted -vigor and energy to both the wbig and al•olition whigs of the opposition. Tut the re- Atli t shows that nothing can prevail against the indom itable democracy of New Hampshire. Let their glori ous example be emulated by their brethren in other States. Tug OHIO PHALANX.-It is not true that this As sociation (located in Belmont county. Ohio) have di vided their property and dispersed, as stated in many papers. They have made some change in their or ganization, and, in consequence, some few members have thought proper to leave. But the main body of the Phalanx are still on their domain, determined to curry out the design, acrd well-convinced of their abil ty to succeed. GEN CA XI IC RON .—We see that the "Statesman," the Native organ at flarrisburgh .(for which we are in debted ton friend) claims Gen C.'s election ns a Na tive triumph!— and ssys he iv 'nom a strong and zeal.. ons advocate of the great leadingmensures of the Na tive American Party." Who will claim Gen C. next? The whigs any he is half theirs—the 'Natives claim him bodily—meantime we are told that he promises en earnest and honest support to the administration.— One thing is certain—he should speedily -pm an end to the circulation of these charges of Nativism and vvhigism, by apublic denial of them. The St Louis Reporter of the Bth inst, says: The •weather yesterday was rainy. The river at this point is falling slowly, but there is sufficient water in the channel between this place and Caito, fur the largest steamers. TheEppor Mississippi is free of ice as far up as Dubuque, with a fair stage of water--four and a -half feet wale' on the Rapids. The Illinois continues in good boating order. The produce market here is steady. and operations are made at fair rates. Steam ers ore busily employed on all the river-sand the spring trade (Tens with considerable briskness. supreme. The causes which prompted the dissolution will be given mere fully in detail in dne time; at present will briefly say that nothing has mooned of the most trivial moment to shake the faith of intelligent Ass°• ciationists; pecuniary embarrassment, (over which the science of Universal Unity can have no control,) and n number bf worthless members, who should never have been admitted, made it imperatively necessary that something should be done. The dissolution was thought best, but it was a fatal error. It has severed old and tried friends, and played havoc with the pros-I pects of a re-union. All parties made mistakes; all committ. d errors which they will not cease to regret while in this •'mortal coil." But, let it not be forgot- 1 1 ten that Association in not to be held responsible for I the conduct of '•poor humans" while thus held in state of solution. The restraint of organization—of unity of interests; was not imposed during the past two months. But the Association is afloat again, and success is as certain es any thing in this fleeting world can be. I am not a member of the new organization and have no interest in the Phalanx, yet I do say can didly that I would rather risk money in this Associa tion than in any of the institutions of Civilization. The rent of the land has been reduced to two thousand dollars, just half the former astount, and arrange merits are making by which the members will at the end of two years become owners in fee simple. Thus it will he seen that the only difficulty that was ever regarded ai discouraging has been removed. More anon, The Chimes, by Dickens The author of this—l hardly know in what class of books to place it, and so I call it, non-descript—has little claim to the attention of American readers, since his gratuitous, and to those of them who flattered and feted and danced attendance upon him, when in this country, ungenerous and ungrateful assaults 4 1pon us l and our institutions. But there is one redeeming trait in his character, which, even in our opinion, should extenuate his offence. It is his overflowing kindness towards a numerous class of his own country men, whose great and grievous crime, in the eyes of certain functionaries and theorists, is to be pool; and whose condition he seems, perhaps from having him self originally emerged from the same class. and min gled much with them in his earlier days, to appreciate fully and commisserate deeply. "The Chimes" al. ford evidences, that this sympathy for the poor and la boring and half-starved classes of his native land, so conspicuous in all his works, has not been impaired or diminished by the hettel fortune which his genies and talents as a writer have brought to him. As, howev er, n considerable portion of the work, on which much of its force depends, from want of knowledge of the existing state of things there, may be, in a great measure, obscure to readers here; with a view to throw some light en the prohulde enigmas of the sketch Orr tale, particularly on an allusion to one prr minent individual, I subjoin an extract from a h ief review of the work in an English Periodical of Jan uary lag ''With the avowed object of the present story," says the reviewer, "we cannot but sympathize: six: the claims of the poor on the merciful sympathies of their fellows. To have always held this moist purpose is 'one, perhaps the greet secret, of this writer's success. In '•the Chimes" we find the inborn claims of the poor man; his beautiful side; his surprising cheerfulness under sorrows, and what shows Dickens's keen obser vation of nature, the real cause of his apparent sulkis ness and uiiimpressibility, well sketched HT. It is a true lesson, that often the pont man most wants, most desires, to be let alone. We think •'Box" decidedly unfair to some with whom we own nifininities, if ha imagines that their earnestness fur the poor is confi ned to the cricket playing; but bating this, we scorn the g.owing picturesque view of the poor; we are be ginning to trent them as we do torn thatch, ruined groves, at.d blasted trees; as "nice bits" in a land scape; as telling contrasts, as subjects for sickly senti mentalities. How far district visiting in carriages (we have seen it ourselves,) May-pole dancing during a lull in the opera season, and soup-kitchens, when the frost stops the hunting, may have given some occasion to Mr Dickens's most bitter sarcasms, we are not call ed upon to say: we all know that there is something in it. Anyhow, nothing is more improper than the constant pestering and badgering of the poor, which is getting into vogue—the constant "See what a poor wretch you are, and see what a good, kind gentleman or lady, I am." For showing up this sham we thank "The Chimes." And when we can get any hook, with a circulation of twenty thousand, which will, as the present does, cut clear through the detestable school ofeconomists, Malthus, and the "coarser kind of food'' gentry, the preventive-check heathen, and the "natural effluxes" people, we will welcome it as heartily as wo do the present. We hardly know whether it was worth Dickens's purpose to show up an individual, the most contemptible of his contemptible class, such as Sir Peter Lawrie, the worthy who "puts down" everything—poverty, because it touches his pocket,— suicide and sorrows, because they disturb the city's porpriety and peace. But let this pass; the work is done, and never mind who does it. Alderman Cute is settled once and forever!' .(See Harper's edition, pages 9, 10, kr a portrait of this London Alderman and police magistrate, which, the reviewer remarks, "the shollowest newspaper reader must recognize." "As a literary work, we cannot speak highly of 'The Chimes;" the clumsy and thread-bare trick of a dream is managed with more than its ordinary real adroitness. The pathetic passages are among the most turgid and absurd whims this very clever writer has perpetrated; and remembering his many and•very grotesque attempts at fine writing, this is saying not a little. But above all this, there isscarcely a striking feature which we have not fallen in with before:—the influence of the chimes, and the leading idea of the story, is taken from Schiller's Song of the Bell; the mysterious affection and attraction between the Bells and Toby Veck, may be I raced to Quasimodo, in Victor Hugos' "Notre Dame de Paris;' a good deal of the diction is a palpable borrowing from Carlyle, and, while it most resembles the higher portions of Punch, the false, yet catching, attempt to combine personal degradation and sin with high moral refinement— we allude to the fate of Lilian,—from the wicked "Mysteries of Paris," the goblin spirits of the greater bells from Reztch, and the multitudinous, swarming, trooping, mass of sprites from sources, Irish, German and others, which will be at once apparent. "Box" repeats himself in Will Fern—we have seen it some• where, but wecanoot recal where, in his own works:" • • . • s s • "Dickens,in the Bell Spiri's, seems to bevel got hold of a thought which proved too high and spiritual fur him; be has broken down under it. The world of This spirit if not this mode, of dealing with the poor, has made its way to this country, and is beginning to be rife among ourselves. Much of the affected kindness, but real cruelty, so graphically described and justly censured in this tale, finds a counterpart in the sentiments and schemes of sickly philanthrophists on this side of the water, and too close a resemblance to its representations is seen in the general treatment of those who ate so unfortunate as to be dependent on the public bounty. The work, therefore, may nothe with out influence, as it certainly is not without pertinence, in many portions of our own land. PRO IT CON. The United Stales and Mexico —ln confirmation of the reports which have been i s circulation here and have already found their way into the eastern papers, WP learn that the minister of Mexico to this country (Gen Almonte) has signified to this government the termination of his mission, in consequence of the pas sage of the act for the annexation to the United States of the province of Texas. He has addressed a letter to the Secretary of State, entering a solemn protest, in the name of his government, against that law, which he declares to be an act of nggression the most unjust that modern history records, being, as he alleges, the spoliation of a friendly nation of a considerable part of its territory. Tne minister has further asked for his passports, it being bis purpose to leave this city for New Ynrk as early as practicable, and there to embark for Mexico. Nat. Intelligence?, 10th. In this. says the Boston Post, the Mexican min ister, Gen. Almonte, has followed for his own govern ment the example set by the Spanish minister, in 1820, when this government recognised Mexico as an inde pendent nation. The latter then entered a solemn pro test against the action of this government. And it was in the face and oyes of this protest that John Q. Adams commenced his negotiators with Mexico for the purchase of Texas! Then the idea that Spain bid a perpetual claim on Texas was scouted as anti- American. Then, the very politicians who n•.•er, for party purposes, defend Mexico, were defending Adams But the cases are analagous. Spnin then claimed Texas and Mexico, and had armies in the field to con quer them to her dominion. Yet this protest did not prevent the offer by Adams and Clay of millions to Melicoifor the territory of Texas. The latter for nine years has been an independantnation,and yet Mexi 'co considers Texas a part of its territory! J. D. T Poll THE POST IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN THE SENATE. The Washington correspondent of the Newark Dai. ly Advertiser, gives the following particulars, with re spect to the action of the Senate, in the matter of John Tylet's conduct after the passage of the Texas resolutions: "I have learned quite an interesting fact respecting the subject matter under consideration yesterday, and to-day, in the Senate), and which mostly occupied its attention. It was the reported action of John Tyler, after the passage of the Texas resolutions: his having made the election between the House Resolution and the Senate amendment, deciding in favor of the for *Tier, and forthwith despatching the same, by a special . message, to the Government of Texas. lam allow ed to understand that the peculiar friends of Mr Ren ton proposed making a call upon the President for the necessary official information with particular refer ence to the procedure on the part of Mr Tyler, and a resolution was introduced for that purpose. I feel myself so well grounded in my information as still further to state that, either embraced in the call for information, or by an independent proposition, it is proposed to direct the President to tuke immediate measures for the revocation and nullifying of all pro ceedings in the premises, assumed by John Tyler, and now in process of confirmation; ditecting, also, that the President shall submit to the Government of the Republic of Texas the amendment of the Senate to the Joint Resolutions of the House, aside plan for the Annexation of Texas." The Clista submitted the credentials of the Hon. Simon Cameron, elected by the legislature of Penn sylvania on the 13th inst, a senator of the -United States from that State for the remainder of the term for which the Hon. James Buchanan (resigned) was elected. They were laid on the table. The Senate wee in executive session till half-post three o'clock. Several nominations were confirmed; the only important ones, however, were Charles H. Haswell as engineer in the naval service, and Mr. Lam hlin, of Tennessee, as Recorder in the General Land Office. The 'Loll Verein treaty was laid over fur further con sideration till next session. Several treaties of minor importance were considered and ratified. It is understood that the Senate will be able to ad journ sine die on Tuesday or Wednesday next.

In answer, he was told that his father was visible a long way off; and a number of details were given, exactly specifying how the father was engaged. "I fear you have made a slight aracbeeniam—my father," said the triumphant disbeliever, "has been dead these twenty years." "No, sir, no mistake !

Sir—Since I have been in this city I have used some of your Dyspeptic medicine with infinite benefit and satisfaction, and believe it to be a most valuable reme. dy. One of my constituents, Dr A Carden, of Camp bell county, Tennessee, wrote tome to send him some, which I did, and he has employed it very successfully in his practice and says it is invaluable. Mr Johnson, your agent at this place, thinks you would probably like an agent in Tennessee. If so, 1 would recom mend Dr A Carden, as a proper person to officiate for the sale of your celebrated medicine. Should you commission him he is willing to act for von. You can send the medicine by water to the rare of Robert King & Sons, Knoxville county, Tennessee, or by land to Graham & Hotsaton, Tazwell, East Tennessee. I have no donht but if you had agents in several coun ties in East Tennessee, a great deal of medicine would be sold. lam going to take some of it home for my own use, and that of my friends, and should like to heer from you whether you would like an agent at ! Bluntville, Sullivan County, East Tennessee; I can get some of the merchants to act for you as I live near there.
