100 ays of the Session Gosie aud ivliat lias been done? The Legislature has now been in session up--wards or one hundred days, and ihe House havo not yet passed the appropriation bill on second reading. A motion to take it up, was voted down by the Locofocoes, by a strict party vote. This bill must first pass the House before the S'cnato can act upon it. Nor has there been any action upon the nu merous applications for the extension of bank charters or granting of new ones, nor upon many other important measures recommended to their consideration by the Gorernor in his annual message. The Locofoco majority which have had the dmire control of the legislative action, havo seemed to labor for nothing but to thwart the Executive in all measures of re form, and form schemes to deprive Whigs of the right of representation and of holding office. They have attempted no legislation on public questions in the usual way of open session be fore the world. All has first been fixed and determined upon in secret conclave; and their . public actions has only the ratification of the edicts of their secret caucuses. These have been held day and night, and all who have had objections to such a course havo been driven into them by the potent influence of the party lash, which has been applied as unsparingly as it is on the bare back of the blistering negro ilave at the Souih. In 1847 the Legislature was Whig in both branches. How different were things man aged then. They commenced the session on the 5th of January and ended it on tse lGth of March, doing all the business necessary to be done, and much moro than has been done by the present one, although they have already been in session a month longer. The Whig Legislature saved somo thousands of dollars to the Stale, while the Locofocos are squander ing with a prodigal hand. These are facts for the people to remember at the ballot-box.

Judge Hepburn, of Pittsburg, has decided that neither a Mayor nor an Alderman has the Authority which has hitherto been exercised to Sentence individuals charged with "disorderly co7iduct" "night walking" &c, for so many hours or days no more power to sentence them to the County jail than to the Penitentia ry for the same period. They ma)' only Com mit them to answer for the offence before the Court, and at any lime they may be released by the usual forms. This decision was given, in the case of a constable who had been sentenced by Mayor Barker of that place for attempting to serve a bench warrant. The proceedings are to be taken up to the Supreme Court. The contable was released. Blessings of being sick. Adversities are bles sings in disguise.

A New Balloon. A Paiis paper tells a won derful story of Mons.

Professor Webster. The case of Dr. Webster, still occupies a large share of public attention, and the justice of the verdict is questioned with increasing earnestness. It would not be surprisiug there for, considering the state of public opinion which seemB to be the final Court of Appeal in this country if the contemplated appeal to Executive interposition should bo successful. The Boston papers discredit the story that a student now in Maine passed there through the Professor's laboratory and saw the body of Dr. Park man. The Boston PosF, says : This unfortunate man, so far as external appearances indicate, has become reconciled to his fate. His de meanor is that of a person endeavoring to solve some problem calm and thoughrful. He reads much, and has recourse to many books and newspapers. His family visit him almost daily. The statement in ono of the penny pa pers, ihat a daughter of Professor Webster had been rendered insane by the conviction and sentence of her father, is totally destitute of truth. No such calamity has befallen this afflic ted family. They bear the terrible trial which haB come upon them with submission, patience, and a Christian fortitude the furthest possible removed from that despairing anguish which produces insanity. Another Shower of Flesh and Blood. Mr. G.
