• The New Bell.
'''''lt * Yery huge and splendid new bell was raised
.into the steeple of the Presbyterian meeting-house
- last week, which sends forth its loud reverberating
soundsts little beyond any which was ever before
ktutijitiin this place. The old bell was a pretty
!arie.one, end as all acquainted with it -know, was
in its day considered one of the hest sounding bells
iYt this
- part of the State, its rich and mellow tones
being rarely surpassed any where; but for some
had become cracked and grew more
awl mere unmusical as the - flaw increased. But
the new bell which has been pi-ocured from - Me
i:l4ly% Foundry, Troy, N. Y, and which weighs
1.225 itis.'(nearlY 200 more than the old one) is in
twiny respects superior to that, and surpasses we
think any we have heard in this part of the coun
try in loudness and clear musical tone. Its key is
very nearly if not precisely A.
There are now six very good bells in the place.
Besides the above there 'are--
' The Baptist's, a bell pf excellent tone weighing
about 600. .
The New Aauletny bell weighing about ZOO
The Court house bell weighing about 200.
The Foundry bell weighing about 150.
And a new bell of about the same size has been
Firocured.flich we understand the " Rough tt Rea ,
dy" Fire Company are to have at their Engine
House. _ This hest was procured by Mews. Lyons
& Chandler for the new, and extensive Concert Hall
they are fitting up in the upper story of their long
store building ; but we believe they ititefd, getting
another for that. Then, if the Episcopal, the Meth
odist, and the Universalist fleeting houses (which
irre'yet • destitlte) were supplied with bells, there ,
weal be ten in the place, and Montrose might
challenge any country village to beat her in the
amber . or the' musical qualities of her Bel Ls,, or
Belka either.
- Pim:swam ocr.—George Baldwin, the late Post
mknite-r at Great,Bend, who was sentenced to the .
.Western Penitentiary of this State a year ago by
the - U. S. Court, for robbing the mail while Post
mister, we Fee it stated has been pardoned out re
cently by the President. This act of clemency we
believe is generally commended, under the circum
stances.
ationrmt.—We see that Thomas T. Jackson who
aria sent to the Penitentiary from this county a
Tear or two ago on a charge of firing a barn, has
been liberated. We. understand his good cool - het
while in prison secured him the recommend for
pardon from the superintendent and keepers.

~!; FILINND CU ;,.. A week ago I wrote you from
Stafford, and sin th at time I have - travelled over
1
e considerabl e. " - of grsinnd, and seen a great
twiny curios* ; but of all th e curiosities, I
-
witnessed withibe greatest surprise a colliers wed
-44. - As I wasi s pissing through' Bolton, a city
about 20 miles d tent (rum Manchester, I discov
ered a party of Young people in singular garb, etc.,
and seemingly suatembled for some particular pur
pose.. But my attention was particularly attracted
by two earthen dishes. These dishes were white
and thawed with red ribbons, and the. company
was divided into two parties, and the parties met
at a ditch, and each one took a sip out of to
pots, and so contihued un til
. the contents of each
were exhausted, and then the dishes were broken
upon a stone, and the parties mingled together and
_went to. a house bear by for what purpose your
subscriber knows not. On making entluiries I found
that these dishes were filled with ale, and that it
was the custom of colliers, on a wedding occasion
‘
for the party of the groom, to meet the party of
the bride, and go through the performance, I have
described. The landlady with whom I stopped for
that night, seemed to be accustomed to such scenes
and, is her opioion, "it was a decent performance,
except that the dithes were white." She thought
that if they had selected "nice blue dishes, and
trimmed them as they did the white ones, i she
would have thought it a decent and respectable
party ;" but the idea of selecting white dishes for
such an occasion, vras, in her estimation, a very
great deviation froth common propriety: and your
subscriber, not knoWing the object of such ceremo
nies, left the innocent old lady to her own. opinitni,
for she seemed to feel injuned that the good old
custom had been violated, by the selection of white
instead of blue: - i •
Your subscriber (mentioned in his other letter
that he "got dead +IT," and it may be a matter of
curiosity to you to know how a person can Iravel
without means; bui when you call to mind, the
great utility of the "cube root," Jour surprise will
be somewhat lessened. Nit your subscriber had
to " run" on one occasion, very much against his in
clination, (running lei a zerm used by sailors when
they get shut out frnm the docks without money,
and have to travel OA streets all night.) Well I
was dead broke, as made my way from Banburg,
•towards Warwick; ilnd wnen I reached the latter
place, the chime waZ going 12 ; and I made my
way into the heart of the' city where I was seized
by a policeman of huge dimensions, who was fast
pushing me off towards the station, when I told him
that I was a foreigner, and had no alternative but
to go to Birmingham Oat night.
The officer being iii kindly disposed person let
me go, but wsuredi me that I would not es
cape the tit:) , without being imprisoned, and stand
my trial for a month in the work-house. Well, I
pushed on fur a short xlistance, when I came across
two persons who were talking together. and one
of them asked where I was going, to which I re
plied I was bound to' Birmingham. Be said that
it would make no difference to him, but if I went
past the next street if Would be " sure tom et a
month" for being out past hours," and kindly vol
unteered to go and shOw'me where I could go and
stay until morning. consented to go with him,
and I soon found myself packed away 'Very com
fortably upon a bundle of straw, with a few bran
bogs thrown over met and in this quarter I re
mained until morning..
Upon getting up inhe.. A naorning, I found that I
resembled a miller mote than a printer, and that I
had lain all night in cipmpany with about a dozen
very respectable pigs, and was only separated from
them by a narrow board. As I was making my
way out from this delectable lodging place, I was
hailed by a man who laccused me of driving his
calf out in the weather and taking possession of
phis lodgings ; but I convinced him that I had ta
ken lodgings with the Pigs, and moved on towards
Ihrmingharn, where I struck a mine of luck, and
sincethen my circumstances have been more com
fortable But in my travels I find thilUsands on
the road who are dependent nixar the night asy
lums for lodgings; and upon charity for Good.
You may hear from ime soon from Edinburg in
Scotland, toward vbichi place I am making my way
on foot. I intendlo pass through Lancaster,
Penrith, Carlisle, Pumfries, Ayr, Kilmarnock,
Paisley, Glasgow, Kileyth, Falkirk, Linlithgow,
and-other places of less itripiartance.

"The Philadelphia Daily News in speaking
of Col. Bigler the probablelLocofoco candidate for
Governor gives hint a geoci character as a man but
thinks his popularity has been overrated. It says:
"Col- Bigler is an antiable and estimable man,
and deserves great credit for the manner in which
he has surmounted every obstacle in his path, and i
reached his preeent boobrable and elevated posi
tion. , If our political opponents should hare it
in their power to elect a State Executive, we know
but few men in their party whom we would rath
er see thenssuceessful with than Col: Bigler. But
we think they are doomed to defeat. They are la
boring under the impression, and we are willing to
admit to he a very - general impression, that Col.
Bigler is a eery popular Mail, and that his nomina
tion will inspire great enthusiasm into their ranks.
We know the man well, and esteem bun highly as
a clever and cotnpunionablegentleman ; but we are
persuaded that be has nothing like the personal
popularity ascribed to him, nor any of elements
to arouse any great enthrals= in his favor. He
has given mail votes while a member of the State
Senate which cannot now bear the 'test of scrutiny,
and which will make him an assailable candidate,

The Approaching Campaign. k
We eitiait the excellent portion of a
letter from the Pillatielphis . Inquirer, reititiviOn
the next election :
Hsaarsarao, Idly 20,1241.,
A late trip through our Northwestern tier of
comities baalmpressed-upon me tharconvicties that
the present State admuustration is widely popular
—I would have said 'almost Universally so--and'
the Whigs of Tennsylvanialnay well be proud of
the thoro and radical change which has been ef
fected, to the honor and credit of the Common
wealth ; under the administration of Gov. William
F. Johnston, by 'whose wise discrimination the
mountain load of debts is being lifted foil) the
Keystone. -/ Prceperity has spread her wings over
the people, and through the whole length and
breadth of the State rings the voice of happiness
and sWeet content. Deep interest to the wants
and wishes of the masses, a thorough appreciation
of our immense mineral resources, the fostering of
our long chain of State improvements, and a wend
statesman-like policy, have effected all this.
Gov. Johnston will probably be the candidate of
the Whig party at the nett gubernatorial election
—from present evidences he will be nominated by
acclamation—the Whig press is largely in hie fa
vor, while the Locofocu organs are ominously si•
lent. In this event, a brief recapitula.ion of the
policy of the present Executive will be right and
proper As a fit prelude, it may be worth men
tioning that the present Democratic State Treesur
et, Gen. Bickel, admits that the Sinking fund, as it
exists under the auspices of Governor Johnston,
will gradually liquidate and cancel the enormous
State debt. This fact alone should command the
support of every right thinking e'an in the Com
monwealth.
More than half a million of the actual State debt
has been paid during the present Admimstrauoe,
which, with the liberal appropriations toward com
pleting the North Branch Canal and the improve
ment of the Columbia Railroad and the Schuylkill
Inclined Plane, will show a saving to the coffers of
'the Treasury of nearly a million of dollars. Gov.
Johnston is unalterably opposed to the creation of
any new loans, and will not, under any circumstan
ces, put his name to a paper that will increase the
State debt—to this he has pledged himself repeat
edly—and this fact of itself has hound him with
cords of adament to the 'preference of the people.
Every holder of Pennsylvania State stock is in
terested in the continuance of his administration,
because that stock has been appreciated at par and
above par, and its interest paid in gold and silver.
The interest of the rural districts and the cities are
alike fostered from this fact. The payments are
punctual—the demand.of foreign creditors are reg
ularly satisfied- : --the credit of the Commonwealth
is re. toretl—and the London Club Houses can no
longer laugh at the witticisms of Sidney Smith, at
our expense! And this magical change has been
effected under the administration of WILLIAM
F. JOHNSTON—what need of further comment I

In England the chief subjects of debate in

leading topic of public interest. The Eng

visits made to the Crystal Palace by the
Queen and Prince Albert.
Respecting continental news, the .N.. ,1 1
Tribune says :
What will most intet est American readers
is the fact that the Turkish Government has
yielded to Austria, and decided to continue
to act the jailer over Kossuth, Batthyani, the
Perczels, and others of the prominent Hun
garian exiles. According to-the report their
detention is not now limited to any fixed pe
riod of time, and may therefore be indefi
nitely prolonged. We can only hope that
the whole is an error, invented for some un
known purpose by an Austrian agent. Its
first publication in Pressburg, a 11-ungarian
city, would seem to favor this hypothesis.
In France the only fresh topic is the posi
tion last taken by the Ccmstitationnel, a sort.
of old granny among the Paris newspapers,
but the orgailiPtif the shop keepers and pos
sessing a large circulation. This paper, which
some time ago was warm in favor of Louis
Napoleon, but has latterly cooled off in res
pect of his pretensions, now declares that the
Assembly must either rote to revise the
Constitution, or else repeal the law limiting
the suffrage. This has made talk, but noth
ing more will come of it. The proposed fu
sion of the two branches of the Bourbons and
their adherents into a single great Monarch
ical party is also much discussed, but we do
not see that it is near beinglachieved. Many
of the leading Orleanists, among them Gni
zot, are in favor of the fusion. The Duke de
Nemours, the head of the Orleans family, is
not opposed to the movement. The Prince
de Joinville, on the other band, regards a fu
sion as .hopeless. There is evidently a gen
eral wish in France among all shades of con
servatives to escape the doubtful ordeal of a
general electi o 6. The Republican and Radi

Yesterday was celebrated by German ,
residents of, this city as the beliday of Pen
i
tecost—a day which n GermanY is commem
orated by festivals in the woods. .A . large
number of Germans, tee to , twelve thousand
in alt, perhaps, crossed to Hoboken in the
morning, - after assembling in the_Park, where
they formed into line, displaying the national
colors. - They bad leased for the day the
" Cricket Ground," some distance from the
village, and on the western side of the road.
Here, under the trees, stands for the sale of
beer and refreshments were erected, beside a ,
platform for the orators of the day, and a
band of music which accompanied them.—
Ail parties present seemedto enjoy them
selves, and the beer, especially, flowed in tor
rents from the barrels on tap down hundreds
of thirsty throats. -
Everything pasied off peaceably till toward
the close of the afternoon, when some diffi
culties 'occurred through the presence of a
gang of rowdies belonging to this city, and
known by the title of " Short Boys." These!
scamps, whose existence as an organized body
has disgraced this city for some time past,
went on the ground in company witba num
ber of lawless characters, some belonging to
Hoboken and some to our side of the river,
and very soon created a disturbance at the
Eeitival. According to differenerepresenta
tions, there were about forty in all, some of
them Germans, some Irish, and some Amer
icans. They were armed, and evidently came
for the purpose of assault, as they commenced
without provocation, to insult the females,
overthrow the refreshment tables, and des
troy the property of the venders. This was
about half past three in the afternoon, at the
Race Course. The Germans who saw the
object of the rowdies, bad determined, at first
to avoid a colli.ion, on account of the tinm- I
her of ladies and children who were present;
but these outrages were•not to be tolerated,
and the offenders were driven off, The row
dies retreated toward the Elysian Field, and
were followed by the Germans. The, Short
Boys obtained - access to the house at the
Fields, kept by McCarthy, and a regular fight
commenced. The Germans had now became
infuriated, and after driving off the Sh6rt
Boys from the house, they commenced break- .
ing the furniture The keepers of the house'
were assaulted and driven oft: McCarthy,:
we are teld, made his retreat to :1 part of the
house where he hat a double-barreled gun,
already loaded. With this he shot two of
the Germans, killing them instantly, and he
seriously injured another by knocking him
over with his gun. The house was completely
riddled, and everything That it contained
thoroughly demolished.
After being driven from the Elysian Fields,
the rowdies retreated towards the village, fol
lowed
by the Germans, and a sort of a run-
fling- fight was kept up for the whole dis
tance. The Zurn•verein (Society of Gym-
masts) took an active part in the conflict, and I
were marked out as special 'subjects of re
sentment. On reaching the village, the row
dies were reinforced - by others from this side
of the river, and by a gang of boys from 14
to 16 years of age. Towards , evening they
assembled before the gates of the terry, and
prdented the Germans coming in fronillie I
festival from reaching the boat.. For - toir
th'an an hour they shut off all communication.
About half past six the procession, consisting-,
of the Zurn-verein, the Lieder-kranz (Musical
Society), the Social Battalion, and other.as
sociations, accompanied by large numbers of
Germans with their families, came in from
the woods for the purpose of returning to
this city. The front of the procession had
scarcely reached the Otto Cottage, before it
was assailed by a shower of stones, the boys
who were with the rowdies occupyit?:,g them
selves Pith assaulting the females, Mantel
,whom were struck and severely brnised.---
The procession' halted, and the 2nrues, ta
king the lead, advanced against the mob, fur
the purpose of clearing the way to the ferry
boat. A violent fight then commenced,
which lasted with little intermission for two
hours. The rowdies were ariued with guns,
pistols, swords, clabs,,sed slung, shots, and
after the first attack the Germans entered the
-German beer-houses in the neighborhood and
armed themselves. TW6 - are known to be
killed; one aZurner, and .the other an Irish
boy, one of the gapg,.about 18 years or age.
Another Zurner named Sabi, a - Hunn i
an,-
received a charge of buckshot in his le . '

Previous to the arrival of the proc sion
all the. returning Gertimni were assaulted in
discriminately, 601118 of them being knocked
down while walking with ladies. Sometintes
they were asked if they were Germani, lie"-,
fore being struck; and one who, "replied ; in
the affirrpative to the questions whether he I
was a Zurner, immediately received nniusket
ball in his side. • It is said thsti:tlie_honsier
