and the term of his natural life, which his tyrants
doomed him to spend inn cheerless prison, would prob

.A VICTIM TO VIM. Copt OF Honon.—The N. 0.
Courier gives the following account of the poet
=nes; eaamiaation of the body of tie Hon. Gilbert
IsotosauttLarbo died of a wound received in a duel at
deilftkei few days since. :411 Leonard was a rnern
borof the Convention for amending the Constitution
of the State. "It was ascertained that the ball,
which struck him at the tote duel, broke the sixth rib
at' the junction of the posterior with the micelle part,
.passed along thPrib between the two pleuras, and
lodged alongside of the vertebrve, without injuring
them. The left pleura contained air and a large
quantity of seroas matter, mixed with blood and rim,
which pressed upon the lung in such manner as to
reduce it w me-sixth of its natural size. The lung,
slightly occhynsostsd at its base, was covered all over
with a thick coat of concrete fibrine. In short, the
whole left side of the thorax presented appearances of
the most violent inflammation.
Mons HILLP.-It gives us pleasure to record such
Gets of private generosity as is exhibited by the letter
below of Mr D. Landreth of Philadelphia. It is a
further evidence of the spirit of sympathy and consid

sufferers in our ill-fated city:

Fame Btraiscis A YISIES.—We

of February. The "strict blockade" of Montevideo by
she Buenos Arnim government, appears to have proved
a &Mire. The French Admiral on that post, inform
ed Admiral Brown that he should not acknowledge
the atrict.bklekade he•reeeived instructions from
hie government, which might require six months—and
the British commodore, Sir Robeit Paisley, upon this
tookthesame ground. The result of this was that the
partial blockade only was admitted, much to the exas
.psration of Rosas's governmet.t. Rosa. himself was

M-rsra Editors—l agree fully with your corres
pondent of Saturday. that it inexpedient to ap
ply to private uses the sso.ooMaken from the public
Treasury. In my opinion there are other and strong
er reasons forrefusing this grant than have been this
ted by your correspondent. But it is useless to dis
cuss this matter at this time, for I have hen•d but one
sentiment expressed on rhevubjeet. I believe it to be
the universal opinion, that it shall be returned to the
Treasury of the Comrnonwelth. it is perfectly right
and proper to receive all,tionations from other sour•
ces, which have been or may be made, to alleviate the
wretrhedness'Of this sirickat. comtntinity—they are of
ferings of individualaMiOtiregiviug away that which
belon g s only to themselves. But the public treasury
should he seered, because it is consecrated to public
purposes. All the money in our troasury had been
previously appropriated and sacredly pledged to our
public rreditnrs. Legally or morally it cannnt be
given to re-build private houses or to rastore
losses. It is True, that now the excitement and
bustle are over, people begin to feel and realize their
destitute condition and utter desolation—hut they al
so feel that sighing and sympathy will avail nothing;
and that their own efforts, with the aid of friends, are
the only effective means of 4stlief: There is a recu
perative energy in the rnshirrf.cturers. meehanies and
business men of•Pittsbergb, whi:th,il exert° !, will
soon replace and restore all that has been destroyed.
These are our best resources; A resolute spirit of en
terprise now characterizes and animates them, and I
trust - that favoring. circumstances may estble them to
re-etittiblish themselves in business, anertit restore thtir
fortimes, without accepting the fifty thousand dolls) i
which has been filched from rightful owners, and
which did not belong to those who gave it.
FOR THE POST
MECHANIC'S LIENS.
The law alfoMechianic's Lions" is - looked upon as
so uncertaitiitia inside at the present dny, as to be
almost useless. Whilat 4 .in reality it is more certain
and because more certain; more bertficial, now, than it
ever was before. It is clearly settled lit judicial de
cisions, for what a lien may be had; and what classes
of mechanic't are entitled to liens. It is important
however to our mechanics contractors an I material
men, to know their rights in this respect; and also im
portant to the owners of kts to know their liability,
especially at a time like the present, when, in this ci
ty, at least, building will he the principal business for
the next two or three years. it is now certain and
sett l e d that a ll sub contractors for ever part of work
about a building, or for materials, or LOW areentitled
to a lien: for example—a Master Carpenterundertakes
a building and lets oat the stone work to A; the fur
nishing of the brick to B; the bricklny ing to C; the
furnishing of lime, sand and stone to D, the painting
to F; and purehasrs lead and oil from F; and glass front
G; hardware from H. - and castings from I. All or
any of these, or any one to whom one of.thgae may
let his job have their liens against the )90t.g. Buf
the Master Carpenter himself.
owner v,ho co ' - a
with the
O 61
rrt
owner of the house, has no lien. The 0 reme COM t
say that heknons with whom liqcssitracted, tied ifhe
thought it unsafe to take the contract, he ought to
have taken security from thesowner. In like manner,
a master Mason, master Bricklayer, or any other mas
ter workman, ti any other person who contracts *ith
the owner, has ls° lieni but all others who take jobs
either for work or tnitiollitittisfrom him who contrasts 1
with the owner of the'buildinz are entitled to their rir
spect i ve I iens. This was not undArstried by the profession
to be the law until the late case of Shawhan & Skel
ton vs. Jones, in Birmingham, in which the doctrine
was settled that sub -contractors had liens, hut that
none who'contrncted with the owner of the building
had anv lien at all. And this has beeh several times
decided since. finder these decisions several of our
Master builders have sustained heavy losses—relying:
on their liens, they-had neglected to take other semi
ties. And it is this change of idoctrines, is Use
minds of many, has thrown s artcerll over the
law, and, in the opiiiitin of maiti;inake it of little oaf/
when in fact there is no change Whatever. other than
that men who contract immediately with the
owner have no lien. Therefore a lien is good fur all
and every kind of matiiitils furnished at the instance
of any one who has contracted with lie owner for any
part of the building. And also the lien is good fur all
and every kind of. work dune for any one about the
building except the owner. It is to be recollected,
however, that a journeitTan or laborer has no
lien; no matter for whom Esislgorks, it is presumed that
he is paid by the day or ought to he and does nut wait
until tbev'job is done nor luuk to the building for Lis
pay. .
It may also be observed, that care should he taken
to file the lien in time. It must be tiled within six
months from the date of the finishing of the joh, if it
is filed for work. And the finishing of the job does
not mean the completion of the whole building., but
the job or port of the building for which the lien is
filed. And where it iv for materials the time rims
from the date of the delivery of the materinls.and not
from the finishing of the job. Care most be token to
have the lien properly made out. and entered, but I
shall say nothing about t his—it is the business of the
Lawyer who files it; and who it; responsible if his client
gives him the right information, and he files it impro
perly. When the lien is rightly filed, the money may
be easily collected. The return of the writ upon
which judgmentis obtained, requires but fifteen days;
some, however, wish eitly to %take themselves secure
soul pushing thelien, antis can be done with
but little expense to eith sr, for the costs of the filing
of the lien in the proper office, is but thirty seven
cents. It may be well to notice that when a sale takes
place by the Sheriff, under a mechanic's lien, it is the
interest of the owner of the building that is sold, if
his interest is a lease fur a year, or for ten years, that
is all that is sold, and if he is absolute owner in, foe
simple., his whole interest goes. When the properly
is sold, and the money in the hands of the Sheriff for
distribution, alt judgments which were entered a.
gainsttite property prior to the commencement of the
building, ore paid out first; then all liens 'entered ate
paid in full if sufficient funds, if not, proportionately
to their respective amolint4; end if an y t hi ng i s left i t
goes to the owner of the building. or to the payment
of judgments entered against it after the liens were
attached. After the judgment is obtained on the
lien as above stated, the owner ..or Contractor
may take the stay as on other debts by giving good se
curity for the money. On any sum under two hundred
dollars. six months, over two and under five hundred,
nine months, end over five hundred, one year.
I have made the foregoing observations norist legal
phraseology, but in as plain terms as I could, to make
them inta*gible to those interested, and I have only
touched on the common practical question, which as
an Attorney I am most fresjosentiv called on to answer.

juitMcation. of bis withholding his signature to the
bill, are sound and conclusive. This determination

FOR 1 II C POSY.
GENTLEMEN:—The bill to incorporate the North
Branch Railroad and Coal CompanAhas been pre
sented for my approbation.
The bill proposes to incorporate a Company with
I a capital of 4335,000, 'Which may be raised to 450%-
000. The objects of the corporation are two-fold.
Fir4,—To construct a railroad from Towanda in
Bradford county, to the coal lands in Franklin and
Monroe townships in said county, with the right to
extend said road or construct lateral roads therefrom
to such coal alines, in said townships, or their vicini
ty, as from time to tune may be found expedient and
frith the further right to exteadthe same, Boas to form
a junction With the Willfs*port and Elmira rail
road. vk
Second.—To mine coat and transact the usual
business of companies engaged in mining, transport
ing and selling coal and the other products of coal
land; and for these purposes the company is to have
the right of holding, either by purchase or lease 6,-
500 acres of laud in Bradford county, and of im
proving. selling, or otherwise disposing of theseme,
ut their inteests may require. Besides this they
may hold such lot or lots of land, not exceeding
ten acret, in any one place, NI may be found con
venient for places of depositinßlas transportation and
side °Nile products of their mine nliki lands.
That part of the bill which prov for the con
struction of railroads to connect coal lands with the
public improvements is altogether unobjectionable.—
The great expense of making these roads on an exten
ded scale, places them beyond the teach of individual
enterprise, and sanctions the grant of corporate privil
eges to associated wealth.
A CITIZEN
The other objects of this corporation, present,
however, no such claims to public favor. They are to
hatiihe 6,2 . 00 acres of land, and to employ the aggro
-
gti morns of the corßorators, not required for con
s cling the railroad, in mining coal, improving lands,
aW transporting and vqpding coal and other products
of their lands, dischargo , ..: of individual liabilities.—
Universal experience and observation have proved
that all brooches of business within the reach of indi
vidual enterprise and responsibility, are more sue
cessfully prosecuted by individuals than cairporations.
The constitution secures to all men the equal right
of acquiring, possessing and protecting property. The
claim to disturb.A l Olairmony of our system by granting
to some exclusiiiirpliileges, founds itself on the as
sumption that the public interest requires something
to be done, to which individuals are unequal. and that
privileges which tiro not eoioyedbythe rest of the peo
ple, must be conferred upon smite to secure a public
adventaga. But. this cannot be predicated upon min
ing coal and improving land. A mong the varied pur
suits of men. there is perhaps nose more simple or
more completely within the compass of individual re
sources then that of mining, coal. In proof of this, I
need or,ly refer to the millions of bushels of coal, which
are annually mined and carried to market in this
State, west of the mountains, without the aid of corpo-
rale privileges, nqd to thelt ,as which has attended , 1
individuals in the Scirtylk I region, where corpo-
raters have generally failed. , T , ...,..
As to improving lands 4* of corporatiiibt,
which is one of the objects of I , the ohjection to
it is palpable. It is found fa the induatrtand skill
i
of nor farmers, subdu the forests. e;ateriding and
z
multiplying the comfo
. f life. and -advancing the
v
prosperity, credit; and ness of the commonwealth
—pregnant proofs all of them, that agriculture needs
no corporate protection.
Thesuccess which has hitherto attended individual
lig
enterprise in mining coal, and ini ' land, is in
my apprehension an insuperab - o to placing
these interests in the kgands of ' 'TM
One of the greet benefits arisi " ' our free tips
temle'the facility which it gives to trnnsfers of pro
• rty, by whirl' the vigilant end thrifty are enabled
to Once themselves beyond dependence, while the‘di
rectetrect of withdrawing large tracts of land from the
ordinary rules which govern the transmission of MEd
estate f is to create a dependent tenantry. The corn
panferontemplated by this bill, with its 6,500 acres of
land and half a million of capital, will employ many
men. all of them in a degree dependent upon the
controlliiit , power of the corporation. Our own his
tory furnishes too many henentable proofs of the fact
that power of this 'kind may be used, not only to ex
act the labor for which compensation is made, but
also to circumscribe that range ,£ taught and inde
pendence of action upon political subjects which con
stitute the pride and dignity of an American freeman.
These corporators, moreover, ore associated for the
purpose of gain; and yet if their enterprise should
prove unsuccessful, the debts which they may have
contracted, beyond the ameunt of their subscriptions,
are to fall upon the unwary and confiding. The pro
fit is to be their own—the loss is to devolve upon the
public. I can see no reason for thus making a dis
tinction between these corporator.; and other citizens,
and disturbing that equality which sustains our free in
stil utions. , ~.

LATER FROM MEXICO.
BY the arrival of the schooner %Vater Witch last
evening, which left Vera Cruz on the sth inst., we have
received our files from the city of Mexico to the 25th
ult., and from Vera Craz to the day of the sailing of
the schooner.
The schooner Fanny, from this art, bad arrived at
Vera Cruz with the intelligerse °lithe Assure of an.
exotinn by the United Stateß Congress. The news
was received coldly by most of the inhabitants of that
seaport, hut there was some blustering and talking
about war on the part of the population, which all
sane men supposed would soon subside.
On the day prior to the sailing of the Water Witch,
the British man of war.Euryilice vet sail for Galveston,
with despatches just received from the city of Mexico.
for the British Minist e r in Texas. The purport of
the documents had not trrinspinid, but it was rumor•
ed, and generally credited, that they contained a com
plete recognition on the part of Mexico of the inde
pendence of Texas, upon the condition that she
would reject the proposed Annexation to the United
States.
•Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the We
t* Witch arrived, we have net yet received the cor
respondence by her, or been able to examine with mi
nutes our files.
Santa Anna still remained a prisoner at the Castle
of Pore: e. We fiqd"his wt itten defence in the papers
which we hays recorded, but it throws little light upon
the transactions of the 'evolution. He endeavors to
throw upon others the respousibility of all the most
flagrant acts which provoked on the general insurrec
tions.
The difficulty aith the prosecuting officers appears
to be under what character to proceed against him, he
having acted under the orders of Canilizo doling the
critical events of the tevolution, as it simple General
of Division.
The Mexican Government had received intelligence
of the passage of the Annexation resolutions by both
houses of Congress, but they had no official notice that
President Tyler had given his assent to them. .1-low
ever they entertained little doubt of their receiving his
approval. Our files from the cipital are not so late as
due, but we infer that the Government was really in
possession of the latest intelligence, and that the de
parture of the British vessel of war for Galveston was
otatsequent upon this. information.
On the 21st of March, the Chamberof Deputies took
into consideration this subject of the Annexation of
Texas. Resolutions were introduced, and warmly
supported, for declaring the. previakens of the Treaty
of l I (ratified in 1832)-at an end; for closing the
po xico against all vessels of the United States

from Zacatecas, Sr. Luis de La Rosa, is talked of
for this portfolio, and the papers applautisthe selec
tion.
We haste neither time ror room to go further into
our ales to-day. We may say, however, that the tone
of Santa Anna's letters to the .Government, (and we
have several of them before us,) is bold and almost in
solent. Feeling that his life is safe, thete is no limit
to his uLdicity.
Nor . s from Texas to the 2d inst. states that the
w4A , ..olintry between the Nuec_es and Rio Grand is
in possession of the Comanche Indians. All trade
bus ceased between Corpus Christi and San Antonio;
several parties of Mextean traders have been captur
ed and murdred. The Indians are repotted to num
ber about 800 or 1,000 strong. They have corn
mitted numerous depredations upon citizens and pro
perty. Men, women and children have been carred
off in jitaptivity. Some fears were entertained ut
Matamoras that the Indians would attuck that place.

who have been laboring under infirmities of alafflict
