The Catholics of New-York, 'took strong ground
last fnll against the Public Schools as established
it; thUt City, and by voting a Ticket of their own,
were instrumental in defeating several of the Loco
Poco candidates for the Legislature. Seven
eights of the people of New-York were averse to
nay change in their excellently constituted Public
Schools yet in order to appease the Catholics,
and to insure their aid this Spring in carrying the
City, and continuing themselves in power there,

Is there one honest Loco Foco in the land,
friendly to Protestantism and Christianity, who
will not Aveep for his country, and hide his face
for shame, to think that the principles which he
has professed to cherish should be thus discarded,
and the party to which he is attached sold by its
leaders to the Pope of Rome, to maintain a short
lived power in the City of New York ? We glo
ry, however, in being able to say that this unholy
compact, mis oeamy strode at tne unnstian iree -
-dorr, and simplicity of our Government, met with
its due reward. The fears of the relimous nortion
of the community were awakened by this bold ex-

action of Popery, -and ignoble compliance to it by
a J-.OCO roco legislature; and by a united and vig-;

Tlie Bank Bribery Eusiuess.
We are gld that the Press of both parties, gen
erally, throughout the Commonwealth is speaking
out in rnanly tones against the late Message of
Governor Porter. It is a document which has
surprised both friends and opponents, and all join
in demanding a full investigation into the charges
of Bribery which have been made against him and
l.is associates. We are credibly informed that tfis
the determination of a portion of the Committee of
lie Legislature, at least, who have the matter in
hand, not to desist in their
ir labors, until they have ! a ilgh! con,Plexion b,c and
uth, and ascertain what I W h"!t fn

was done with every dollar of the money drawn I
from the United States Bank. If Daniei M. Brod
Lead, into whose hands the money has been traced,
will not tell what he did with it, or how he dis
posed of it, the Committee will call before them
e cry individual against whom the least shadow of
suspicion has been thrown; and it will be strange
indeed if they do not get -hold of some one who
knows, and can be made to reveal, all the partic
ulars of the disgraceful transaction. Let us have
liht upon the" subject, so the people may see who,'
ond how many, ofthe "Bank hating Democrats,"
sold themselves to the ugly Banks.

The Committee on Manufactures, in Congress,

The President of the United States has written
to the Governor of the State of Rhode Island, in
relation to the steps which will be taken by the
Executive, should necessity require his action.
In his letter he says :
"I have however, to assure your Excellency
that should the time arrive, and my fervent prayer
is that it may never come, when an insurrection

Senate. Mr. Berrien, of Louisiana pre
sented the credentials of his new colleague,
Charles A I. Conrad, elected to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of Mi Mouton Mr.
,Conratl was duly qualified and took his seat.
The President ol the Senate laid before the
Senate a message from the President of the
United Statr, in farther compliance with the
Resolution of the 2d of February last, requesting
information in relation to the demarcation Of
the Boundary line between the United Slates
and the Republic of Texas.
Also, a communication in compliance wiih
the resolution of the 2lih of July last, calling
upon the President for the correspoiulonceof
any diplomatic agent of minister of the United
Slates at the Court of Austria, having reference
to the commercial interest of the United Siaies.
The Reports from Committees were not im
portant.
Mr. Woodbury's resolution having been read,
ong and labored argument was made to prove
that the Colonial arrangement was a good ar
rangement, and that free trade was better for
American tonnage, and all other liome business
than any other.
Mr. Evans, of Maine, said in reply, that he
was not now prepared to go into an argument
upon the subject submitted.
A word or two more followed from Mr. Sim
monds, when, on motion of Mr. Huntington, -of
Conn., the subject was laid upon the table.
The bill for the relief of Amanda M. James
and the bill for the relief of Capt. Isaac Hull,
were engrossed for a third reading.
The Senate then went into an Executive ses
sion, and, after some time spent therein, the
doors were opened, and it adjourned.
House. The House commenced its session
at eleven o'clock. The question pending was
a motion to print five thousand extra copies of
the report of Mr. Saltonstall upon the subject
of the Tariff. The motion was to print the
Bill and the Report. It came before the House
as the unfinished business of yesterday evening, i
on a motion submitted by Mr. Fillmore, afier

Mr. Fillmore then asked the HnnR tn inkft
up the Bill from the Senate for the extension
of the Loan. Objections were made by Air.
Cave Johnson, of Tennessee.
Mr. Fillmore moved a suspension of the
Rules, and the House sustained the motion by
a vote of 111 to 38.
The amendment of the Senate to the Bill was
read, and a general spring was made for the
floor.
Mr. Clifford, of Me., was successful, and
commenced with an amendment designed far
ther to embarrass the bill.
Mr. Fillmore said he thought the House had
passed the point which had again been raised

Having adopted a Resolution to take the Gc-
neral Appropriation Bill from the Commiitec

Previous Question.
The amendment ofthe Senate was concurred
in without a count.
The Loan Bill, ihcrcfore, wants but the sig
nature of the. President to become a law of ihe
land.
The next fifteen or twenty minutes were ta
ken up in efforts to bring various miscellaneous
objects before the house.
Mr. Fillmore moved that the House resolve
itself into a committee of the Whole to la-ko up
the General Appropriaiion Bill. No objections
being made, tlio House went into Committee.
Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, was cailed to the
chair and the debate proceeded.
Mr. Buller, of S. C, was entiiled to the floor.
He yielded, however, to Mr. Wise, who wished
to make an explanation.
The debate was continued through the day
by Mr. Butler, of S. C, Mr. Ingcrsoll and Mr.
Adams.
The clerk returned the Loan Bill correct,
which received the signature of tlio Speaker,
and tho House adjourned.
Mr. Ciddings hastened home from Congtcss,
afior resigning his seat, in consequence ofthe
vote of censure,- and wus received'Sviih open
arms by men of all parlies. A public meeting
was immediately called. It was held, and Mr.
Simon Perkins presided.
Mr. Hutchens, a Ioco-foco, (Mr. Giddings is
a whig,) presented a series of resolutions, ap
proving the course of Mr. Codings, and ex
pressed a hope i hat Mr. G. would allow his

Aivital Exptds.iois off the ntiiv- Stcaiacr
!- pledovsi, at ESaESisasore.
On Thursday afternoon, the new and splen
did .steam boat Medora, blew up at the wliarf,
in Baltimore. She had just beerl completed,
and was .intended for a line between that city
and Norfolk. She was about starling on her
excursion to Nonh Point, with a vie.w of test
ing her efficacy, and a vast number of influen
tial citizens, stockholders, and others were on
board, io witness her performance. The wheels
had only made their second revolution in order
io back the boat from the wharf, when the boil
er exploded with a loud noise, carrying upwards
a considerable portion of the upper deck and
those upon it, and blowing the smoke stacks
high into the air. The main force of the ex
plosion was almost exclusively towards the
head of the boat, and the portions of the boat
around the boiler were lorn to pieces." The
boiler itself, an immense one of iron, was
thrown crosswise on the deck.
The boat was instantly enveloped in a cloud
of scalding steam, which was inhaled by some
with fatal consequences, while others suffered
externally in their persons from its effects.
The boat immediately settled in the water until
her hull rested in the bottom ofthe river.
In the centre and forward part of' the boat
there was a fearful destruction of life and limbs.
Some of those on board were blown -high in
i he air and fell on shore, in the water, and on
the boats lying near by. Others were crushed
with the splintered timbers; others scalded with
the steam; while those below the decks, not
having lime to escape, suffocated by the steam
or drowned when the boat sank.
The-following is a list of the injured and
U;illed, as compjetc as could be ascertained at
the lime. J he next mail will probably bring
an account of others.
Captain Sutton, who had command of the
boat, was standing over the boiler when it ex
ploded. He was much injured in the head,
aud it was very doubtful yesterday whether he
would recover.
John C. Moale, Eq. the agent of the steam
boat line, was on board with his two sons. Mr.
Moale had his right foot dislocated, and was in
ijured in the side and back. Soon after he was
taken home, he expired.

lrom 56 to 61 cents, closing, however, at 53, which

On Saturday last, by the Rev. Baker Johnson,
Mr. Siikawder Buown, of "Strcudsburg, and Miss
Catharine Jane Shaw, of Hamilton township-
Wi th the abovo we received a thumping slico
of the most delicious wedding cake. Even at thi
time, after it has all disappeared, the remembrance
of its excellonco makes the mouth of our devil wa
ter, when ho thinks of the good things of which
all the world, except printers, have their share.
Wo would extend to tho happy pair our mt
hearty good wishes for their future happiness a d
prosperity.
