HOF wonderfully mysterious and inscrutable as well as deeply afflicting are some Of-the dispensa tions of Providence! How vain and futile are bu . Man calculations and plans of acquisition for the ' future often rendered, by unforeseen events occur , ring just as we are apparently reaching the sum mit of our hopes and aspirations, and grasping at the boon which was the aim of all our efforts! W e areledle these reflections by the painful intelligence that Mr. Jo= Gatax, a'Prontinent and well known citizen of Franklin in this county, who was on his return from California after an absence from Lis borne and family of nearly two years, did on Tues. divsafterztoem of this week at the house of his brother in New Milford,' having reached thus near home, (within 4 or 5 miles) on Saturday night.— Re had enjoyeal good. health inring his. stay in California, and -had been tolerably successful in • getting gold. He had announced the joyful intel ligence to hiZ family of his coming, and was tin his way hushed with high hopes of a lisppY meeting, and with anticipations of future happiness in sharing with them the fruits of his toil iwilistant lands. But be was taken sick during his home voyage; (having probably contracted she prevail ing epidemic at Panama,) and when he reached "New 'York by the late arrival, he was barely able to proceed by railroad to Great Bend and reach his brother's in New Milford as before stated. His Phisicians however., expressed hopes of a speedy recovery, but be suddenly sank away and expired en Tuesday, leaving his deeply afflicted wife and family only the peer consolation of seeing him once more alive for a biief period, thus near to his own home. Tux - .Cortyrr SrAr.—We are informed by simie of the earlieit residents of the place, that the Coun ty buildings, which were alledged to hare been e lected bore at the expense of the county generally, but which we stated lately were built mainly or in part at least by the proceeds of donations of town lots were actually built entirely from the latter source. That the truth of the matter may be generally understood, we intend soon (nest week if possible) to hunt up the record and give a full statement of facts in relation to the matter. If as we are in formed, the various lots of land in and about our village that were given to the county, were deed ed.expressly for the purpose of making it a county seat, and conveying the title only so long as it is occUpieti fur tkat purpose, which land has since been fold unconditionally to individuals who will look to the county to defend their titles, (and much id it is now the most valuable portion of the vil hige,) a, removal of the county seat may be a more difficult and expensive opeiatton than many .per sona are aware of.

It will be ;'seen by the extracts tie gvity front other papers, ' that movements are being "made atVashington for a slight improvement of the Tariff which there seems to be some prospect may be effected. The new Pledge," of which we also copy some account is mOcing considerable talk, though it does not seem thos'fai to be very exteasively adopted. The N. Y. Tramiel very pertineotly inquires whether " tion" in favor of, as well as against slavery is to be put down. We copy again from the condensed proceedingi in the Sussex Register, the doings in Congress up to last week. - In the Senate, on Friday, the 17th, Mr Winthrop introduced a bill fur the partial reformation of the tariff, Mr. Denton's resolution calling for informa tion relative to the Contoy _prisoners was adopted. Mr. Smith concluded his speech, in favor of paying the French Spoliation Claims, after which the Sen ate adjourned. ` The House Occupied all the thy with cheap pos tage; and finally passed the bill for that purpose by a vote'of IThe Senate did not sit on Saturday, 'and the 1 1 House occupied the day with the consideraticu of Private Bills. In the Senate, wir.Monday, after the presenta tion of several reports, Mr. Clay presented a reso lution instructing the:Committee on Commerce to inquire into the expediency of adopting more ef fectual means to prevent American vessels and seamen from engaging in the African Slave trade. The correspondence with the American Minister at Brazil in regard to the Slave Trade was refer red to the Committee on Commerce; The house Postage Bill was received and referred to the Post Office Committee. The French *illation Bill was taken up and ,Mr.liunter made a speech a gainst it. • The Hause, on Monday refused to make five of the General Appropriation bills the special order for Tuesday and until disposed of. The Rouse al so refused to suspend the rules to introduce a bill giving land to the landless. The bill to secure the prompt execution of the Bounty land law of the last session wal taken up and discussed till the ad journment. Both Rouses on Tuesday, talked about the order of business; , the Senate slightly amended its rule:, and the House thought of the mass of bills it was very unlikely to act on at this Session. And so another day was allowed to pass without profita ble netin», or progress of any kind worthy of note. The Senate en Wednesday had a spicy morning debate on the African Slave Trade, the means of suppressing it, and theieeent Pledge not to vote for any Slavery 'agitator' foil any office whatever. Ir. Clay's resolution instructing the Committee to enquire into the expediency of more effectuabmea sures for the more effectual suppression of the Af rican Slave Trade was agreed to—Yeas, 45, Nays 9: The French Spoliation Bill was taken up in committee of the Whole, amended had reported to the Senate. _ The House considered the Deficiency Bill in Committee and ordered that the debate on tlO the bill cease at 3 o'clock on Thor-slay. Tns TAmn.—The 'Washington correspondent of the North American 'writes thus of the prospects o a:.modification of the Tariff : "The chances for a moderate tariff tire improv ing,. l\Tone other can possibly pass. It is there fore the part of interest, as well as policy, to make the best of a bad bargain. TheAexperieace during the period when the act of 1846 was under con sideration ought to adnioniili discretion at the present time. Let us therefore be warned by that lesson. The.depressed condition of all the ine.ttu• lecturing interests has convened ,an unusual num ber of persons concerned in the tariff from the Northern, Middle and Southern States. They have conferred together, and with their representatives in congress, without regard to political connections. After comparing nets, an informal understanding has been adopted, to urge a modification upon the following basis. Averaging file 4 COst, of Iron for ten years. to impose a duty of forty percent under the ad valorem system. To restore the free list of 1842, which admits all dye-stuffs and other articles used in the manufactur of carpets, calicoes and =the - like without chargi, and charges a nominal du ty of 5 per cent. 6n wool costing less than seven cents a pound, To require the duty to be assess ed on the value of the imported article, sr.<seer tained at the time and place of exportatiiin, and fi nally; to fix a duty of ten per cent. more on the manufactured article then on the raw material. Things at liarlksburg There is not much yet of .peculiar locil interest to our readers in this section, in the doings — Of the Legislature. The resolution in favor of amending the Tariff offered by 31r. Dobbins, a Locofono mem ber from Schuylkill, and which we copy ia another column, passed the Committee of the Whole in the House', and a test vote on taking it tip *hawed 4 majority of 12 in its favor.

That they all may amply share in the bounties of the God of Providence, and especially be the participants of the richer blessings of his grace, must they ever earnestly desire and sincerely prayi Attempted Escape of Smith O'Brien On-Sunday and Monday; the Victoria Cutter, com manded by a man named Ellis, was observed hov ering about the island, the wind being slight until evening, when it fell calm. Shortly before Soo down, Mr. Smith O'Brien, who, notwithstanding his avowed intention of escaping. should an oppor tunity offer. has considerable liberty allowed him, went down to a sandy cove, one of the few plates where boats generally land, and just as be reached the shore, a boat with three me% put in, and he rushed up to his middle to meet it. A constable on duty. who was a witness of the act, covered him with his piece, and called to hira.,to forbear, seconding this by rushing at the boat and knock ing a hole in her bottom with his carbine. He then pointed out to all four of them the folly of resist ance, and requested them to submit quietly •which they aid. The officer in charge meantime having missed his prisoner, came rushing down to the beach, and secured him while still in the water. He was theii conducted to his house, and the three men confi ne d for transmission to Hobart Town. A whale boat with six hands was sent on board the cutter, seized her and brought her ia. She too, with the parties on board, will be sent up immediately. It has not been thought necessary to impose anti• restraint upon Mr. Smith O'Brien greater than that to which he waq previously subjected. In fact the precau tions customarily taken are such as, without I:2ing obtrusive, render his escape all but hopejess.—ila fart Town ('our., Any. 20. Congressional Pledge.

We trust that conservative statesmen are not about to fol low their example. Massachusetts Election. At a regular State election in Massachu setts in November last, only three Members of Congress were chosen-Messrs. Appleton, (Webster Whig,) Mann and Fowler (Free Soil Nyhigs.) In the other several districts there was no choice. At the special election on Monday, f tree of the seven vacancies were filled by the elec tion of James 11. Duncan, Georg© T. Davis and Zeno Seqdder—all Whigs, and elected by handsome majorities. Mr. Shudder, whom the Washincgton Republic and a leading Whig paper in Boston called upon the 'Whigs to defeat, because of his declared opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law, does not seem to hive been set back much. Mr. Duncan vo ted for the 'Compromise measures generally, but opposed the Fugitive Slave Law. Messrs. Davis and Scudder will tie new members.

The mass of the Whigs are well known to favor Emanci pation, and a bill providing for it was lost a few years since by a-single ,Whig voting with all the Locofocos against it. ;The Slavehold-, ing interest, like every other inveterate abuse and iniquity, takes shelter under the guns of the Democratic' citadel.
