Correspondence of the Dailr Chrouicle" 53 :
Hcrrisburg, June;29, 1842:
In the House A spirited discussion sprung
up on the "outlet lock at Black's Eddy," which
came over from the Senate in a divorce "omni
bus," in a disguised shape, it was an amend
ment, extending all acts and supplements of acts
authorizing the construction of collateral rail
roads, to canals. The project met but little
favor in the House, and even after it had been
io amended as to provide that it should not be
construed to authorize the aforesaid outlet, the
section was voted down by a vote of 78 to 16.
The balance of the omnibus then passed, and
was returned to the Senate.
. Mr. Bonaall submitted the following: Re
solved, That the Apportionment Committee be
instructed to bring in a bill for the apportion
ment of the State, without reference to that
part of the act of Congress which requires tho
States to be divided into single districts. Mr.
Wright offered a resolution on the same sub
ject, but subsequently withdrew it.
Various other propositions were made and
voted down, when, on motion of Mr.Karns, the
resolulion-of Mr. Bonsall was stricken out, and
the following inserted in lieu thereof, viz:
"That it is the duly of this House to proceed
forthwith to district this Slate, in compliance
with the apportionment bill recently passed by
Congress." The following ia the vote on Mr.
Karns' motion eas 57, nays 33. Mr. Gam
hie then moved to add the following: That
this House protests in the most solemn manner
against the exercise of doubtful and equivocal
powers by the Congress of tho United Slates,
or the slightest invasion of the rights reserved
to the sovereign Slates, and deny that Congress
lias right to prescribe to the different States the
manner in which they divide and arrange their
Congressional districts. The previous question
was then called, but not ordered yeas 39, nays
47. Here the arrival of the adjournment hour
cut short the proceedings.
In Senate. Petitions were presented in fa
vor of the abolition of the Courtof General Ses
sionsagainst an outlet lock at Black's Eddy,
and on other subjects.
A Bill passed final reading after a good deal
of discussion and sundry amendments, provid
ing that property shall not be sold at the suit of
tho U. S. Bank or its assignees, or Branches,
unless the said assignees will agree to receive
the notes of the said bank, or unless the said
property brings two thirds of its appraised va
lue. Yeas 17 nays 15.
Some private Bills were omnibussed.
The "Lumber" Committee continues to hold
its sessions every afternoon, and their labors
are no trifle. They sit from three until six
without intermission. The mass of testimony
accumulated is astonishing on account of its
magnitude. And there has been a good deal
dieted in the course of the investigation, which
-will excite the curiosity, if not the alarm of the
public. Unless one had nothing to do than sit
and cull an occasional fact which escapes, re
jecting the great mass of the testimony, there
would be nothing procured which would inter
est the public sufficiently to procure a reader,
if it were reported. This afternoon the Com
mittee examined Samuel-D. Ingham, of Phila
delphia, who came hero as a special agent of
some Coal Companies in the session of 1840,
and Major (now General) Fleming of the Sen
ate, who was one of the Committee of Confer
ence which had ihe precious "Resumption Re
solutions" of that session in charge. I was
present during the great portion of both their
examinations, and did not hear anything worth
detailing.
Harrisburg, June 30, 1842.
In the House. Mr. Rush (Banks) reported
as committed, the bill from tho Senate to ex
tend the charter of the Farmer's Bank of Read
ing. Mr. Deford reported as committed ihe bill
from ihe Senate to extend the charter of the
Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Philadelphia.

after sundry amendments, was adopted by a
vote of 52 to 40.
That in view of the necessity for speedy jD
lion on the subject of districting the State for w
action on the subject oi districting the btate lor
the election of Representatives in Congress, in t
a manner, to avoid difficulties; we therefore deem j
it expedient that this .Legislature proceed, .as 1
soon as possible, to district the State in the
manner pointed out by the late act of Congress;
but that this House protests, in the most sol-
eran manner, against the exercise of doubtful j
and eouivocal powers by the Congress of the
United States, "or the slightest invasion of the
rights reserved to the sovereign States, and de
ny that Congress has the right to prescribe to
to the different States the manner in which they
shall divide and arrange their Congressional
districts.
The lemaindcr of tho session was taken up
in the consideration of the bill from the Senate,
authorizing the Canal Commissioners to pur
chase trucks . the transportation of section
ooais. on me railroads belonging to the common-
wraiths i
IN o en ate I he greater portion ol the day
was spr.m in unKcring at a huge "ummous,"
which has been on hand for several days, hav
i-ng reference mainly to Election Districts, but
containing a number of totally different matters.
The House had put in an amendment authori
sing the vacation of Columbia Avenue, in Phi
ladelphia, and the Senate refused to agree to it.
Mr. Tagely offered a section to prohibit loco
motives from running through Reading, but it
was not agreed lo. The ''Omnibus" is not yet
finished;, and if it is not soon sent to the Gov
ernor, tjiey will need a locomotive to aid m its
transportation thither.
A few petitions wero presented, and private
BWs reported in the morning.
Tho Committee of Investig
jation examined
Judoe Donaldson, of Danville, this afternoon
who was one of the "borers" of 1840. His
testimony does hot amount to any thing.
Ifarrisburg, July 1, 1S42.
11 3-4 o'clock, A. M.
In Senate. Mr. McClay, from the commit
tee for that purpose appointed, reported a bil
dividing this istate into twenty-four Congress
ional Districts, each to elect one member.
We are compelled to omit, for want of room
the districts as apportioned by the committee
The Senate are now at work on the "Do
mestic Creditor" bill.
The House was engaged a good portion o
the morning in considering the bill authorizing
the C. Company to purchase trucks for the
railroads, to transport section boats. At length
the bill passed final reading by a majority o
one vote, with the understanding that a supple
ment would be passed to limit the cost of ihe
same to $40,000, and to have the creditors
look to the fund thereof for pay.
There appeared afterwards to be some un
willingness to agree to their former promises
Whereupon Mr. Deford moved to reconsider
Whilst this question was pending, a message
was received from the Governor, informing that
he has signed the Trick (Truck) Bill, which
had not been more than 15 minutes passed, it
looked very much like a trick. Mr. Stevens
immediately offered a proposition to repeal the
bill, and denounced the high-handed act of ty
ranny with the most withering eloquence. D.

The Storm.
Froril the Philadelphia Gazette.
Heavy Thunderstorm Effects, &c.
Our city last evening from 7 rill nearly 10
o'clock, was visited by a very heavy thunder
storm. Some of our oldest inhabitants say it
was the severest storm which has occurred here
for many years. The lightning was so inces
sant as to be painful to the eyes; the thunder
deafening, and the ram a perfect deluge.
Dock street and many of the streets near the
river were overflown, the cellars partly filled
with water, destroying a large quantity of goods
Wo have ascertained at the Hospital tint du
ring the storm which lasted 2 1-2 hours 5 129
mchs of rain fell.
The sewer in Dock street was filled, and
one "of the Iachets firing way, the tide backed
up and filled the cellar of Mr. McKcever, pain-
ler, to a depth of 5 feet 4 inches, ruining near-
I ly all his goods. I he pavement in part, caved
in front of the city stores, on the cast side of
Dock-stM in consequence of the great rush of
water. I he culvert in Christian street caved
in. in many places from curb to curb: the iron
pipes which convey the Schuylkill water, sot-
tied, and the water of course is slopped off
This place, presented a singular aspect, the wa
ters rushing, with great impetuosity towards the
mouth of the finished part of the Culvert. A
small lad was whirled down the eddying water,
and but for tho timelv assistance of aopntl-
man, would have been dashed to nieces. The
damage by the electric fluid as far as wo have
ascertained is as follows:
The tavern of Mr. Cavenengh on Almond
street wharf, the roof injured, and part of tho
gable end shattered.. The fluid from this build
ing glanced off and seriously injured a man in
Water street, at a distance of about fifty yards.
Also a gentleman named William Barns, was
turned completely rotmd and a boy alongside of
him lay prostrated. The fluid ran down the
I conductor of the Presbyterian church, in Arch
conductor of ih F
jabovo Tenth, and several persons siamliim near
received a shock, but were not seriously, hurt.
A house in Fitwatcr street near Seventh was
somewhat injured by a flash.
A barn, just repaired, and well filled with hay,
belonging to Joshua Woolmer, on the upper
part of the neck was fairly rent in twain, and
entirely consumed.
On the other side of the Schuylkill, below
rope ferry a barn and two hay stacks, which
were gathered in only yesterday afternoon wero
struck, and consumed; we could not ascertain
the name of the owner is Henry Hahn.
The House of Refuge also was struck, but
not much injured, A barn in the same neigh
borhood was struck and burned-. Towards
T rentou the storm must have been, severe;, about
eleven o'clock we observed a reddish light, to
ward that part, which was doubtless some other
barn destroyed by lightning. During the height
of the Blorm, the awful glare of the burning
barns, caused the firemen to turn put, in great
numbers; some of the companies were met by
tremendous currents of water near three feet
deep in some of the streets and were compelled
to turn back.
The storm commenced immediately over the
city. 1 he cloud whence it hrst proceeded was
of very small size. Two other, clouds one from
the S. E. and another from the W. S W. com
ing up. The three sedmed to join in the' ele
mental war, and as it were, contest which
should gain the supremacy. Several steam
boats ih the river were drivon ashore by the
violence of the gale.
A frame dwelling house in a court near
Coates'and Marshall street was struck, the fluid
taking up the hearth ih the second story burst
ing open the closet door and throwing every
thing-out of it. It also took off several of the
weather boards. A woman and four children
were in the house neither of whom were in
jured. A man living opposite was thrown off
his chair but not injured.
A barn on the ridge road near Francisville,
was struck and destroyed.
Two large houses in Kensington at the cor
ner of Dean and Bedford streets, were struck
from one nearly all the window glass and win
dow frames were dashed and torn out; none of
the inmates were injured. In one a little boy
was lying upon the window sill at the time, who
miraculously escaped all injury except from the
fall of a sash weight upon him which had been
torn out by the lightning.
Another house in Kensingion was struck at
the corner of Wood and Prince streets, which
did but little damage. In this house the entire
works of a clock were lorn asunder, and what
is truly singular, the frame of the clock sustain
ed no injury.
- I he chimney of the house of Mr. Yates, in
Vine street above 13th, was knocked down, and
ihe same shock paralized Mrs. Dean for some
time, who resides a short distance oft. The
dwelling of Mr: Morris, in Twelfth above Race,-
was struck, the fluid passing down the chimney
on the out s:de; and forced two holes in the
wall, one in the second and the other in the
third Btory. The fluid passed to the adjoining
house and turned up a portion of the zinc roof.
The chimney of the dwelling of Mr. Mclntyre,
at the corner ol Kitienhouse street and Schuyl
kill Seventh, was partly knocked off. A large
hole was knocked in the wall of St. Paul's
church.
The'dwelling of Mrs. Taffe, in Lombard above
Thirteenth, was also struck the fluid passing
ihlo the kitchen, and overturning a chair upon
which her son was sitting not injured.
Ihe schooner lNile lying in the Schuylkill,
opposite Walnut street, was struck, and her
toremast shattered.
The damage by the water was awful hun
dreds and hundreds of cellars being filled near
ly up to theiower flooring. In Poplar street
near Eleventh, the foundation and part of one
story of the brick work of two houses was en
tirely torn away.
The basement of Mr. Swaim's bath houses
was completely inundated and the doors forced
from the hinges.
The basement story stores in Fifth street,
from the corner of Market street, were all more
or less flooded. Those of Messrs. J. T. Whit
aker & Cor., stock and ready made linen ware
house; Charles 1. Kern, brush maker; P.
Fritz, whip maker, and Gillingham & Fussell,
were, filled up to the ceilings, and much loss
sustained by damage to the stock, &c. In the
latter, Mr. Fussell, with three ladies and two
boys, continued with tho door shut, until ap
prehending danger from the flow of water, they
made an effort to. getoutj but were driven back
by the violenco-of ihe torrent. In one moment
afterwards the store was filled to the ceiling
and but for the timely aid of two or three men
who heard the shrieks of the women, some of
them must have perished one of the women
was aclually'dragged out by main force, and at
the same time had one of the small lads in lier
arms he being entirely submerged. The thea
tres did no business, lor there being no audi
ence the performances were suspended. As
far as we can learn no lites have been lost.
There is no doubt but some fearful accidents
lave taken place causing loss of properly if not
of life. If is said that the rain did not extend
more than S or 10 miles in the country to the
ndrth-west.
ssel.
A dud was fought on Saturday morning 25th
ult at Naman's Creek, near Marcus Hook, by
Mr.
Marshall; member of Congress, and Col.
Webb, ol the j. Y. Cornier. At the second
firerthe latter was slightly wounded in the calf
of thc leg, and the panics left the ground. The
daily papers are filled with details, bin to our
mind tho notoriety of the parties is sufFiciently
unenviable, without this disiiirciion. Those
who will thus wantonly violate the laws both
of God ami man, for t lie gratification of intern-
erate passion, deserve nothing but the piiy and
contempt of every member of the community.

Our readers, says the New York Tribune,
will recollect, that we published a paragraph
from a Buffalo paper not long since, with regard
to the death of a young lady whose life was in
sured in London for $10,000. It seems from
the Mercantile Codrier that her father's, name
was A. h Lo Cras a painter. Before leaving
London he procured the insurance on his daugh
ter's life. She is believed to have died, not
withstanding the suspicious circumsianccs at
tending her burial. But these facts together
