The reception of Hon. ;Daniel Webster by the
Governor and members'of both Hotises of the Leg
islature was thu main incident of interest
i st-Har.
risbutgh on Tuesday the 'lst itett. An account of
this reception with the address of.the Governor
and Mr. Webster will be found copied - in another
column. The legislation tor that day was of no pe
culiar interest twour readers, in this section.
On Weiltamday the 2d inst., the Senate passed a
variety of private Bills, and the Housewas mainly
engaged on the Appropriation bill. We, were in
error last we e k in stating .the sum proposed to be
appmprmtml to the North Branch Canal at e3OO
- It was t 2150.000. A bill to divorce one
John Savery from Ids wife Elisabeth attached 'by
the Senate as fin amendment to a State road bill ,
passed the House by a vote, of 40 to 39. This
practice of putting divorces thrtughas height on
State roads. Plunk roads, and Railroaas is not
a very: creditable business. It looks as if they
could nut readily pass on their , own merits to be
thus smuggled. through on the tail of sone ...thing
else.
Oa. Thursday the 3d. the bill to re-annex the new
county of Montour to Columbia from which it wa,
taken came+ up for final action, in the Senare, and
w-is defeated by a vote of 14 yeas to 18 nays. The
The House same day had the General Appropria
linil Bill under consideration again. A provim to
the section appropriating $O5OlOO to complete the
North Branch was adopted by a vote of e 5 to 30,
that the appropriation or a pact thereof be with
held if it cannot be spared for the treasJry without
an increase Of the state debt. The subject of a re
sumption by the state of the franchises of the Del
aware and Hudson Canal Company was before
the House, and a Committee was appointed to in
vestigate the affairs of thesompany.
On Friday the Senate h tinier caanderation
the Bill pnividing for the election of Julps aaeor
dim; to the amenled caustitution and this House
ha-I up the general appropriation bill again. Sev
eral other matters of little intertst to oui_readers
were before the House. -

Senate had under consideration a bill Aupplemen:

Hoe..e also p toed a bill mAin; telegraph officer 9
liable to fine' mil imprilonment fw any betrayal of

On Monthly the 7th the Bill revising the militia
syStern finally passed the Senate. We know noth
ing of its infovisions—whether it revises the old
traif zings. and regulates the cxerctse of the
ununiformed with cornstalks, broomsticks and such like thmienibs weapons we are unable to say. In
the House in Monday the general appropriation
finally paa4l by a vote of 46 to 44.

more detailtid necimid of the protvedisigs that nib
additional appropriation to ibe Nortlipranch Canal

pattsed enlarging the limits of this Boititwh. A Bill
is also passed authorizing , the loan of $15,000 to

-
necessary ; and atts.o authorizing t 5.000 to he raised
by a tax uptir this Bortiugh`for that purpose.
- The Sus43t Register Rays the Delaware and
Iliahula Curial Company give employ to over 5.000
men. They! have 550 boats, of 125 tons each. Ev

ding The captain. This force together with miners,
ettgineers. mechanics, drivers, attendants on the'

whole number of boats on the canal amount t 0760.
The .Free Negro Law passed by the Delaware
Legislature, makes any free negr, o or mulatto (-tim

of $5O; and in case of non-payment and failure of
security to leave in five days. he or she is to be

the fine and costs.
The Y. Tribun alluding to the visit of Mr.
WebatUr to Hi rrisbt • tire, intimates that the Pres
ident at Washington ii not very well pleased at his
leaving his post as Secretary of State to go" 1-din•

would say, Mr. W. is somewhat suspected of trying
to " populate" himself fur the next Presidential
campaign.
