North Branch; Appropriation Voted Down!— When the Appropriation Bill came hp before the House on Saturd4y last, the section appropriating 1"300,000 tower+ the North Branch Canal was. lost after a protritcted dismission by the following vote---yeas 44, naVs 49.'' The Telegraph says that JudgaConynghaili made a very able and convin cing speech in faVor of the North Branch on Fri day, but it seem; that it was all in vain. After the injudicious course parsued by certain Locofoco members from the North, in relation to some other matters during the session, which arrayed promi nent members liom other sections of-the . State against it, it was :predicted that the North Branch would be defo i atecl, and the prediction seems to be verified. Judge :Porter , of Northampton, whose hostility to the measure was thus excited, went against the appropriation as was apprehended, with all his influence._ '! Another project up.4fter various motions and amendments in trying tii get some - sort of an ap propriation for the North4tranch, the following sec tion was finally adopted trikking a sort of condi tional appropriation of 1 2150,000, like the condi tional ono of - ,fI50,01:10 otlist year: .... ` --- See. 34.—Therci is 'alsii• hereby appropriated to ward the completion of gie North Branch Canal, the sum of. $250,000, in addition - to the sum of $:;' , 150,000 already appropriated, and in lieu of ,the appropriations ilir the eui4rent year, under the pro visions of the act of Aptil 10, 1849, in pursuance of the report of the Ai.tditor General and State Treasurer to. the Governor, made on the 14th day of Augast, . ~ ~ Provided; That nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize toy increase of the State Debt, and if in the opiniin of the Auditor general and State Treasurer, thee is likely at any time to be a defleieridy in the revenues of the Common wealth, to meet the interest of the State Debt, the ordinary expenses of gpiernment and the repairs of the Canals and Radroads, heretofore completed, it shall be their duty to Withhold all, or so much of the appropriation made by this act to the said Korth Branch Canal, as shall be requisite for those objects. --- • _ The Bank Bill, which has been tossed back and forth from one! branch of the Legislature to the other with various amendments, has finally been agteed upon in It modified form and signed by the 'Governor. It Will be seen, however, by an article we ebpy from the Telegraph, that the Governor sent Aback to ve 4 great blunder of its framers WI all corrected. ttle great flourish those Loco- Zi. foco Bank-tinkers ma.k:p..about restricting and tax ing the Banks, they hted•it so worded that the Bill would net corhpiel the Banks to pay the tax bat once during the, existence of. their charters, as the word "per annton " was log out ; and but for the Governor's scrutiny this blonder would have been passed over unobserved. , Judge Porter of .Nortbamton, From a committee of the House on the GoVernor's veto of the first Apportionment Bill, has made a pettifogging re- i port on the veto—arguing against various positions which the Governot did 'not assume, without touch ing the ntain grounds of his objections at all. And although,Porter himself had voted with his party against printing the Governor's message fur circu lation, they aro now not so very economical as to refuse to print the report to go with it ; though they were unwilling to have the counter report of Mr. Smyser of the same committee sustaining the veto, prmted therewith. 'The Democratic Union has found a place for Porter's report, and we pre sume other organs of the party which would not let the Gcivenior's reasons be:seen in their columns, sill readily find room for thi4 pretended reply to it. On Monday last the re-charter or extension of a number of new Banks updet the new law, passed the Senate, among which was the Wyoming Bank at l'irilkesbarre. Siiiveial new Bank charters also passed the Senate. No day of adjountment fixed yet! • More llisly ;Legislation Corrected.

Cass to strike out the appropria tion for the outfit of a Charge to Austria was lost -1 to 28. Mr. Foote's motion for a select Commit -tee of Thirteen was made the special order for Wednesday, after some unimportant conversatien. -The liouse.balloted four times for,Clcrk on Tues day, withbut coming near a choice. There was a look at last'as if the Locofoco vote might be, con centrated on Judge Young of Illinois, and proba bly elect him. - Mr. Prindle' of New York, Would seem to, be the leading Whig candidate. .3fr: gpeaker Cobb decided that the late Clerk's deputies have no right to continue discharging the duties which he assigned them until the House shall have chosen another Clerk, so that any Mem ber might eompel them to desist at once by merely objecting—a decision in defiance of the dictates of common sense. In the Senate, on Wednesday, the questien of raising a Compromise Committee, to settle the ali t mission of California and the erection of territo ries, was carried. The North (says the - Tribime,) was beaten badly, and is to be beaten. Col. 'Ben ton alone from Slaves States voted against the em bryo compromise; oven the Delaware Senators came up missing—one of them silent, the other vo ting with the South, while from Free States Messrs. Cana of Michigan, Dickinson of New York, 13tur gcon of Pennsylvania, and Brialit and initOomb 'of Indiana, Toted not to lay the compromise op the table and take up the California bill, beating us by four majority. It is some consolation for even:such a defeat to have WEnsrEn back an the right side we fear too late, as usual. A very exciting scene occurred in the Senate on Wednesday between. Messrs. Benton and Foote, the particulars of which are given in another ar ticle. On Thursday a committee of investigation :rela tive to the disturbance between Messrs. Benton and Foote was announced in the Senate, consistin.' of Messrs. Dodge of Wisconsin, Webster, King, Phelps, Rusk, Bell and Shields. Mr. Dodge asked to be excused on account of the peculiar relations exist ing between him and Mr. Benton, and his request was finally granted. A. final rote was had on Foote's motion for a select committee to whom the questions relative to - Mi should be referred, and it was carried by 30 to 22. On Friday the Senate proceeded to choose the 13 members of the select committee on the Com; promise Resolutions. On the first ballot Mr. Clay received 28 votes to 1 for Dlr. Benton, 1 for Mr. Bell, 1 for Mr. Mangmk and 4 blanks, for chairman of said committee, after which Messrs. Cass, Web ster, Dickinson, Phelps, Bright, Cooper, King, Man gum, Mason, Bell, Downtnd Berrien were chosen for the rest of the committee. The House, after a number of ballotings Tor Clerk in place of 31rXampbell, deceased, in which the vote was scattered among the numerbuicandi dates, finally succeeded in electing Richard I& Young of late Commissitner of the. Land Office, by a bare majority. He it a man 4ho mums to stand pretty fair, having not only succeeded in getting the South Carolina ultras, but the Free Soil Locos also. • After the choice of the Select Committee on Cal ifomia the., a motion was made and adopted to postpone the further consideration of the California bill to two weeks from Monday. 'ln the House the same subject was under con sideration on Friday. Hr. Cleveland of Connecti cut, who professes to be a Free Soil Loco, claimed Tor the Free Sollers the credit of keeping Slavery out of California.

Mr - The choice of Mr. Clay as'Chairman of the Select Committee on California and the Territo ries, by so large a vote of theSehate;ihows how great a confidence is reposed in his wisdom, saga city, and impartiality, by the Senators generally of all parties. For our own part, we are free to c s onfess, that the plan or principles insisted on by Col Benton, of letting the admission of California. * stand alone upon its own merits, has seemed to us the most just and proper, with the light we' have upon the subject.

Senate which in time past Aim been regarded as amore dignified body than the Houle oflteprdsentatires, was the scene of a most dis graceful row on Wednesday : the nth, between Colonel Benton and - the. blackguard Hangirutn Foote of Mi:w.issippi. It is to be regretted that a man of Colonel Benton's age, standing and charac ter for dignified bearing, should * allow himself to be so much disturbed by any thing from such-a quar ter; but it seems his indignation was excited to such a pitch, that he could scarcely be . restrained from approaching him in a hostile manner,' while Foote drew a loaded pistol upon him in the body of the Senate We extract from the reported proceedings the following, which shows.what led to it: Mr. Benton addressed the Senate in support of his amendments. His object was' to show by the votes of the Senate, on the several points which lie had presented. that the fears of the South bad been groundless—that there was no danger to the rights of one section of the Union. He also incidentally alluded-in no complimentary terms to the Southern address, and those who originated. it. Mr. Butler said that_ the Senator from Missouri was much mistaken if ho supposed the Southern people would be satisfied with AIM upon truisms —such votes were not to be safety valves by which to avert the dangers impending. Mr. Foote arose to address the Senate. The Vice President rerninded him that the ques tion before the Senate was upon the appeal, and suggested that he confine himself to that point. Mr. FOote declared his design to proceed to or der. He had endeavored to avoid discussion, as the Senate would bear witness. He felt.that the time had come when patriots should unite for the purpose of saving the republic from the danger which threatened it. It was very well (mown that he would not, after circumstances which had occurred, here condescend to notice any thing coming from a ctrtaiii quarter, (Benton,) if it were not that an unjustifiable attack bad been mad& upon a measure with which himself and other gen tlemen were identified—the southern rddress— which many of them had been proud to sign-- The history of that address was a glorious one, and would live in the esteem of patriots in the future, when those who impugned it should long have been forgotten. Who was its author? The senator from South Oarolina, ovet whose death the nation now mourned • and who was it that attempt ed to_impugn that address, and to designate those who signed it, as agitators I It was an individual known as the oldest member of the Senate. -Mr. Foote was proceeding with some sarcastic and pungent remarks, evidently in allusion to Mr. Ben ton, but had said nothing sufficiently open and ":offensive to jnstify Ihe.chaw to calling him to order; when Mr. Benton rose, much agitated, and- throw ing his chair from him, proceeded by the narrow passage outside of the liar, towards Mr. Foote's seat, which is on the outside row of seats, near the nutin:entrunce to the Senate. Mr. Dodge of lowa, and Mr. Dodge. of Wiscon sin; and others, apprehending a collision between Mr. Benton and Mr. Foote, endeavored to detain the former. from moving from his seat. Overcoming all resistance, he continuedowards Mr. Foote, who, leaving his place, stepped down the main aisle, and took 'a position in the area just in front of the Sergeant-at-Ann's seat, at the right of the Vice President, at the same time drawing a pistol from his bosom and cocking it. The scene which ensued is indericribable. - Loud calls for the Sergeant-at-arms were made, and cries of .'"order r' resounded from all sides of the chamber t , • Many persons rushed from the Qalleries, and out of the chamber, in apprehension of a general me lee. Several Senators surrounded Mr. Foote, among whom was Mr. Dickinson, who securing the pistol, locked it up in his desk. Mr. Benton in the meantime was struggling in the hands of his friends who were endeavoring to prevent him from reachir ° i Mr. Foote. While thus pinioned, as it were, and yet almoSt successfully resisting the. e ff orts of those who held him, Mr. Benton boldlydenounced Mr. Foote as an assassin, who had thus dared to bring a pistol in the Senate to murder him. He said, " I have •no arms—ex amine me—l carry nothing - of the kind—stand out of his way, and let the scoundreland assassin fire." In uttering this sentence, Mr. Benton threw off from either side, those who held him,—tore open his vest, and invited the fire of -his antagonist. Mr. Foote, in themeantime, wks restrained from advancing towards Mr.. Benton. The Vice President, after repeated' and vigorous efforts, succeeded in restoring a toruparative state of quiet. Mr. Benton and Mr. Foote having resumed their respective seats, Mr. Foote rose and inquired if ;lie could proceed to order. • . Mr. Benton (in a very loud tone and much exci ted) demanded that the Senate i shall take cogni zance of the fact that a pistOl had been 'brought here to assassinate him. Mr. Foote explained, he had nn intention to at tack anybody. His whole coursti has been that of the defensive. He had been infirmed that an at tack upon him had been intimated. Supposing, when the Senator from Missouri advanced towards him ;that he was armed and designed to attack-him, he had himself advanced to the centre of the cham ber, in order to be in a position where he could meet 'llr. Benton, in the main aisle, upon equal terms. Mr. Benton protested against in intimation that he carried arms. He never did so. The Vice President requested Mr. Foote to tale. his seat until it could be ascertained what course was proper for the Chair to pursue. Mr. Hale regretted the necessity which seemed to impose itself. upon him, one of .the youngest members of the Senate ; but, if :to one else moved in the premises, he should deem himself unworthy of hiS seat, if he-could let such mtransactlem as had just been witnessed, go out to the country without investigation. The Senate owed such course to it self. . Mr. Foote, (in his scat.) I court it. Mr. Borland said he had apprehended no danger, and instead of the matter being .a serious affair to be investigated, he thought it one on which the Senate should be ashamed, and should say as lit tle about as possible. Mr. root° expressed his assent to the proposition for investigation, but solemnly protested that he had only armed himself in view of a premeditated attack, against which be bad heCn warned. Mr. Dodge, of Wisconsin, thought a court of in vestigation should be appointed.; He stated that ho had known Mr. Benton thirty-five years, and never knew him to eery amts. Mr. Baotou, (in his seat, still much agitated,) n p er never! r. Dodge moved that a committee of „seven be a kited to investigate the subject.,lt was a duty to, the Senate and the country. .Mr.elay -express ed the hope that Mr. Benton and Mr. Foote would go before a magistrate, or else in the presence of . the Senate, pledge themselves not to commit a. breach of .The peace, in. the further prosecution of this affair. Mr. Benton—l lutve.dono nothing to authorise a charge of intention to commit a breaclrof the peace, . and I will rot in-'ail before I give a . pronsuce by which I admit such a thing—(e . ven by , riPlicition.)

Esq—Sir: I this morning re ceived the very kind letter you addressed to me; and which I hasten to answer,. to thank you„in the name of my mother, .my sisters, and myself, for the true sentiments you entertain- respecting „my beloved father. You believe him innocent, and you believe what is true. He is the victim of cir cumstances, a deeply injured.ninn. 'That ho is in nocent, we, his family, know and nothing on . earth will ,ever take from us this conviction. We have. never, from the moment he was snatched- from his home, had a shadow of a doubt on our minds, and whatever the world may say or do, we shall ever., have that feeling to support us. The knowledge of his innocence supported my father daring the . hours of. suffering in the court-room—that it is that gives ;him and, us calmness now, amidst the many sources of sorrow that have Overwhelmed, us. Far different from what we 'anticipated - Was the result of the trial, fur we hadheen assnred through ont,the winter that our father could not but,be re stored to.t6, and that at the ,trial he_muit receive justice from the many wrongs that had euliettp ed upon hiin. But justice fled froth the court:room, and prejudice took her place. Yet hope still lingers with.us,_for we trim that the public voice will be raised against the gross in-_ justice 'that - bat:been committed; and will not al low our country to beat and! stigma on her name, such an everlasting Shun, na will be that: of the, sacrifice of one so truly : irinoeent - tid iziy £3trsr.— Audif one word frOnfus, sir, can:add R . feather's' weight to the efforts that are we give You the'deep assurance of our hearts, that: we fee grateful for the interests that you expresis„ and feel, and for what you are_doing in our behalf." May God in His infinite- mercy, look dawn - upon; you, and bless the efforts . that are-being made, and if it is not His will, to bring the truth to'light, and; to allow this awful to be exphtined. May, He enlighten theilniinds - of these into j uloselaruti' the, ease will . pass. c • I bust again think:you, air ;for the kind - you express toititidit,,:_by diai ;father: - Nothing: . thatftho tvorld* - do uow.tiyas greater' eettio-; lath* than Ike kti - Owledgii - tbitk!citheribalitiii3 him; innotent: SyMpathY has, flowed - ntaindantlY:frairi' mazy hearts towards tts;'hia Itithity; but tatrintieh' more pribd by us is tluttipti*thy4•o7)iiiii express fOi'hitst.
