Co., New York, the pictorial double Brother Jon nthan for the 4th July, 1851. It is really a beautiful and interesting sheet, worthy to commemorate the Anniversary of our freedom. The historical document, by Cooper, of Co lumbus's discover of America is illustrated with appropriate Engravings. The Boston Tea party is detailed in full, and accompanied by a large and spirited picture of throwing tiie tea ovorboard from the ship Dartmouth in Boston harbor. There are likewise forty or fiftv cnffravhifrs illustrating fun and ad- venture on the Fourth. In a word, there is nn abundance af mattej for mirth and for re flectionjust suited to the approaching na tional holidav. Price 12 cents onlv, or ten for one dollar. SiHI lUoving. From every quarter of the Commonwealth we continue to receive reports of the move ments of the people in favor of Gen. Scott, for the Presidency. The Whigs of Dauphin held a meeting at Harrisbnrg, on the 12th inst, and adopted the following resolu tions : Resolved, That the distinguished services m rendered to his countrv bv General WliV F1ELD SCOTT, in stations civil as well as f YMiliLirv. lmvfl endeared him to the hearts of the whole American people; and that the Whigs of Dauphin county, as an evidence of their grateful sense of obligation for such services, cordially unite with their fellow citizens in other portions of the State, in an earnest and early effort to bring him before the people of the Union, as a candidate for the Chief Magistrac Resolved, That while General SCOTT is a man of peacti in time of peace, in war he 1ms exhibited the highest degree of science, n!!, and valor, and that he is justly enti ileJ to be ranked the foremo.-t Captain of the ""Resolved, Thn t while General WINFIELD SCOTT has exhibited by a long life of pub. In service both in the cabinet and the field, lus competency to discharge with ability and honor to himself and to his coimtry, the du l es of .any position in which he may be placed, and that we consequent' - name him as our fir.-t choice for the Presidency in 1852. A parson in Italy has been sentenced to two years' imprisonment, for omitting to prayj for the Emperor of Austria. We had no i lea that royalty placed such -on estimate on prayer. A counterfoil Gold Dollar, well calculated to deceive, is described in the Philadelphia LeJf er. It feels grcasv to the touch, is rather thicker than the genuine, is of lighter color, and bas a dull leaden ring. The wording " United States of America," and the word " Dollar" are dull, and have not the sharp clear appearance of those of the genuine. The Honesdale Democrat in alluding to the arrest of a man by the Sheriff of that count7 on suspicion of being, concerned in netting the fire in Montrose, intimates that the late fire in Ilotiesdale may have been kindled by some one of the. same company. It says : There are grounds for grave suspicions, at least, that the fii- in this borough was lighted bv the same gang of miscreants. Several of ilicm were here when the fire happened. Whole wagon-loads of merchandize were ta ken away during the excitement consequent upon the-devastation, and have not yet been tracked out. One of the guards, stationed, by the borough authorities to prevent plund ering, was knocked down and terribly stun ned while attempting to stop the egress of j one of these wagons from town. His groans attracted attention to his condition, but no trace of the depredators was discovered. John S. Gibbons, Esq., an eminent lawyer of Allentown, died on the 10th inst. Extraordinary and Iaiigeroiiti Feat. On Sunday morning, Messrs A. F. Boley and J- H. Mann, conductors on the Pennsyl vania Railroad, discovered, when they ar rived at Harrisburg, two Irishmen asleep, seated one on each of the cross pieces of the break on the tracks, under the car a distance of only eight niches from the ground. They must have placed themselves in that situation at Hollidaysburg, before the cars started on Saturday evening, and rode the distance of about 145 raUee in that manner, merely to e lude the expense of $4 each, but at the same time placing their lives in momentary jeopajr dy, seated so close to the wheels that theih backs rubbed the grease and dust from-the ax les of both the tracks. They were so literal ly covered with dust, that it .was diffibult to detcrurno at a 'glance whether they wore Mac or wlii aidlvlcla. x F western I'roduce. An extract oi a luiy -L ... - 1 . dated Sturgee, bt. Joseph co., Micnigan, ' says that the report circulating East, relative to a probable small wheat crop this season in , Minhirrnn. is whollv without foundation. The prospccts for a VCTy heavy crop were never so favourable, in this state or Indiana, as at the present time. Our road will groan this season with the freight We are running rlnwn mw nnnnt.itv nf wheat flour now, and I think the new crop will come in as soon as the old one is olf, if not before. The whole number of farms in tlie State of New Jersey, according to the recent cen sus, is 24,504. CRors in New Jersey. We had an op portunity yesterday of conversing with an - i intelligent gentleman from the upper farming section of the State, and we are pleased to j learn that the prospects were never finer for an excellent return to the labours of the bus- I bandman. The regions in the farming coun- ties of Sussex and Warren are peculiarly fer- 1 tile, and a successful season is productive oft largely increased opportunities for the further ' rWnWmnnt of that section of the State. When, by the extension of the Morris & Es sex Railroad, this garden of the State is placed in immediate proximity with our large city, it will afford a fine home market for their produce, adding importantly tothe val ue of the farms. Thus hand in hand goJ.be great principles of American industry, the fostering of internal improvements, and the i true interests of agriculture. cury. Newark Mcr- About six rods of the Erie Railread track sunk at the village of Andover, Alle ghany county, on the 29th ult. There was an engine standing on the track at the lime, which went down with it, and nothing but the top of the smoke chimney of the engine remains in sight. There was no indication previous to this of a defective bottom. The company are actively at work building a track around the submerged portion of the road. This catastrophe will not interrupt the regular travel, as the passengers are transferred to other cars beyond the break It will not take many days to rebuild the track on its old location. Oyster Trade. Henry A. Wise, in a late speech in tne Virginia Convention, sta ted that one firm in Baltimore had, in ten years, amassed a fortune of $250,000 by sim ply transporting oysters to the Western States, and that had paid the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-road in one year 35,000 for carrying oysters alone. Water can be kept pure by plunging a red hot iron into the vessel that contains it, eve ry few weeks, and securing it fronl the air. This is well worth remembering. Arrest oi tt Gang of Counterfeit ers ! The existence of a gang of counterfeiters in Lanesboro, Pa. has been for a long time no torious, and Jacob Morris, Esq., District At torney of Broome county, and Col. John H. Dimmock, District Attorney of Susquehanna county, have been acting in concert for the purpose of bringing to justice the persons thus engaged. Not long since two of the gang named Taylor and Luce, passed some altered ten dollar notes on persons living in Broome county, and Attorney Morris procur ed their indictment by the Grand Jury then in session at Binghampton, and in a few days they were both lodged in the jail at that place. About the same time a Mr. Cooley and his wife of Lanesboro, who were employed to watch certain suspected persons, heard of a quarrel between a Mr. Aylesworth, a tavern keeper in that place, who was believed to be the leader of the gang, and a hired girl in the house, during which she charged him with having all the apparatus for making counterfeit money, and declaring that she had seen it all. Mrs. Cooley obtained all the facts from a female friend who had been made a confidant by the girl, and information was immediately sent to officers Morris and Dim ock, who arrived in Lanesboro, with a posse, on the evening of the 3d inst. About mid night Aylesworth's house was surrounded, and some six or eight entered and began a thorough search of the premises, A num ber of vials of "chemicals," a large bench for the use of the press, &c. were found in the garret, and in the upper loft eight plates, used for counterfeiting and altering bills were dis covered hid in a straw bed. No money was found, but as they entered the room of Y. H. Brown, he was-seen to throw a roll of some- thing into the stove. The Sheriff noticed a smell of bruning paper as he opened the door of Aylesworth's room. The premises of James McDaniel, Sen. were next examined, and a complete press, ink, and fixtures for counterfeiting and altering bills were found, together with a small amount of counterfeit money. The premises of James McDaniel, Jr. were also entered, but it is not known tljat any thing was discovered. Aylesworth, Brown, both McDaniels, and one Silas Win ters were arrested. It is supposed that these individuals are connected in their-operations with gangs in week 4,300 shares were sold, mostly to citi other parts of the country. A number of Uens of tbis borough and county, being 300 others are said to be implicated, but the nest f n i a i is probably broken up. I more than originally fixed upon.

Wilson M'Candles, in the Baltimore v,on- vention, in 1848, exhibited a white and red rose entwined together to typify the union ot York and Lancaster, the anti-uucnanan aim Buchanan factions, and proclaimed that Lew- is Uass would carry rcniisjivwua y of a majority. The result of the election proved one of two things, either that these men were playing the game of brag, or that they were totally ignorant of the state of pop ular sentiment. And so it is now. The Lo .cofoco leaders are merely gasconading, or else they arc entirely ignorant of the strength of Gov. Johnston's administration among hon est, intelligent and respectable men oall par ties. In 1848, Gov. Johnston entered upon the canvass with all the auspices of victory on the side of his political opponents. The Na tional Government was then in the hands of the opposition. All the custom house officers in Philadelphia, all the postmasters through out the State, and all national officials, such as mail agents, Indian agents &c, were Lo cofocos, and were actively engaged in circu lating calumnies and newspapers, and ex pending great sums of money. Every Loco foco office holder was forced to contribute a large proportion of his salary, and the Na tional Administration strained every nerve to defeat the Whig candidate. To the aston ishment of all who know him, even the great phlebotomist, Buchanan, -permitted himself to be bled to the amount of 15 or 20 dollars, though like the Jew, on whom King John lev ied a contribution, he would much rather have lost a tooth.. The slavery propagandists of Pennsylvania united with the anti-slavery Democrats to whom Longstreth hdd given some personal nledf es. .All the leaders of all the factions of 4 -J Locofocoism were united, active, bitter, and unscrupulous." Now they are not so. There will be a fight in the Judicial Convention, very probably in the Reading Convention, a bout the Presidency, and we find their pa pers filled with crimination and re-crimination.' The people want no more secret pledg es, but they want the Reading Convention to rlistinetlv declare whether Col. Biffler is a slavery propagandist or not, and whether he is in favor of a Pennsylvania, or of a Virgin ia and South Carolina policy. Misrepresentations of all kinds in '48 were unblushingly uttered. It was asserted that if Gov. Johnston was elected, an. immense num ber of New Banks would be created, and all Bank applications were paraded in the news papers that shinplasters would form our cur rency that new taxes would be imposed on the people that foreigners would be deprived of their rights as citizens that churches would be burnt that the State Debt would be enormously increased the Constitution violated, and democratic principles entirely eradicated ! ! The results of Gov. Johnston's administra tion are now before the people. Plain facts have proven all these assertions gross false hoods, and so popular has this administration become tHat it extorts praises from the best men of the opposition. Witness the eulogies of the locofoco press on Gov. Johnston's ap pointments, and witness the Treasury Report of General Bickel. Jongstreth in '48 had more personal strength than Bigler. He had no assail able points; he was involved in no factious quar rels; he was represented as gentlemanly, in telligent, liberal with money, and firm in his principles. But, more than all this, Mr. Long- slreth had the direct and personal control of all the men and money along our lines of The legislative committee appointed to ex Railroads and Canals. The opposition then amme into the manner in which the State represented him as a very strong man. Now thcy fiing ijm asjde as a boy does a sucked j orange.

The gold dust and mails were left on the Isthmus by the El Dorado, after having waited at Chagres for them two days. The California and West India news brought by the El Dorado are of no special interest. Two men were shot in Sacramento, while attempting a burglary, by CaptvWard, who was expecting and watching for them. One was killed upon the spot; his name was Joe Ogden ; the other, George Morton, was shot in his leg, had his leg amputated, but died subsequently. Capt. Ward was cleared of all blame. The mail steamer Oregon arrived on the afternoon of the 2d inst., bringing news from the States to as late a date as Feb. 28th. The report of probable appropriations by Con gress for the benefit of California, had a great effect in momentarily running up State scrip. But it run down again very soon. General Persifer F. Smith has been order ed to Texas, and goes home in the steamer of to-day. A great deal of dissatisfaction has been felt and exhibited respecting the issuance and cir culation of private coins, below their face val ue in real value, and which the coiners re fuse to redeem. It is looked upon as an in famous swindle by the community, the bank ers have refused - to receive it at its assumed value, and the merchants have taken some what similar action. The Legislature has a bill before it, introduced by Mr. Miller, to o blige coiners to redeem, and to make their re fusal a misdemeanor, punishable with fineand imprisonment. Our felons who have been set to work in the chain gang, are occupied in building the county jail. Great efforts are being made to induce Jen ny Lind to visit California, and letters re ceived from Mr. Barnum induce the hope that the object may be effected. A new charter for this city has been pas sed by the Legislature.

The Legislature having confirmed the or dinance granting the right of constructing a p ank road to he Mission, that undertaking already partially carried into effect, will soon be completed, when we shall have one of the most pleasant drives imaginable, into the country, and yet not out of the city. Our city Attorney's report shows a tre mendous amount of litigation, amounting to over two millions of dollars for the past year. Politics have been rather brisk of late, both whigs and democrats doing their best to or- ganize. rney are preparing ior me municip ai election to come off in about two fweeks. Marine Hospital has been conducted in this city, have reported very severely upon the conduct of the resident physician Dr. Hub bard, who has petitioned the Legislature for the privilege of apppearing before it, and dis proving the charges against him. Some degree of interest has been felt here in reference to the anticipated blockade of Honduras by the French. It may not be the intention of that g,'ernment to seize, these islands; but if it is, and Uncle Sam does not take efficient measures to prevent such an outrage, there are men enough and ships en ough here in California to put the whole mat ter right, and it will be done. We make this prognostication for the good of whom it may concern. Accounts are coming in, of new discove ries of auriferous mines in various parts of tfee country. The recent rains have also had their effect upon placer digging, helping the gulch diggings and for a time driving those engaged upoathe rivers, from their positions. In the connection with the 'above we have to notice the discovery near Benicia of a coal bed, said to be of a superior quality. It is lo cated within a few miles of the Pacific Mail steamships Company's depot. Many beds of coal have been discovered m Oregon; so.that Jhe Pacific steam, marine is lmeiy io De wen supplied soon with this very imporu'nt 'ar tide.

Lord John Russel informed the House of the course the government proposed to pursue in consequence of their defeat, by a majority of 14, on the motion, of Mr. Hume against the removal of the Income Tax fcr three years. His lordship said that the cabinet were pre pared to bow to the decision of the JJouse, and to submit to the appointment of a select committee of inquiry to consider the details of the obnoxious tax. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The Crystal Palace continued to be throng ed with thousands of admiring and wonder ing visitors. On Monday, May 5th, the price ofadmission fell from one pound to five shil lings a head. About 6400 persons were ad ' mitted at that price, and 1000 sterling were taken at the doors. The demand for season tickets also continued, and the receipts alto gether were estimated at 2000 per day. FRANCE. From Paris we learn thit the fourth of May, the anniversary of the Proclamation of the Republic, has passed" off without the slightest attempt at disturbance. The weather was very unfavorable for the spectacle, but the crowds of spectators was very great. The fire works were a failure in consequence of the heavy rains. Census of the Cherokees. The Chero kee Advocate says the census of the Cherokee Nation is nearly completed. It is thought that the number of emigrant Cherokee will not much exceed thirteen thousand ; that of the old settler Cherokees, according to Brown's Roll, will not exceed three thousand ; thus making the whole Cnerokee population about sixteen thousand, exclusive of whites and blacks. There is a remnant of the Chero kees yet in North Carolina. When they are all collected in their fertile country on the borders of Arkansas they will number nearly twenty thousand. The Cuban Expedition. Although the Government has by its vigorous measures, pretty much broken up the Cuban expeditions in Georgia and ! Florida, it is thought the attempt may be renewed. Notwithstanding the positive announce ment from New Orleans that the project has been abandoned, there are strong reasons .for doubting the good faith of the statement. The difierent Deparments at Washington are in daily receipt of messages, from various officers on the look out, reporting assemblages of per sons, here and there throughout the sou thern states. The assemblages, so far, appears to be np n..ari rr, -ifTiW. nfflnovc nr Wd erg an(J who fo'r tj,at can kc ' little about their desti nation - , na"on Tkn The Government is increasing in its vigilance, and it will not be relaxed, al- though hourly announcements should I t 1 r o r- ; . . mation that the leaders had agreed to a- Vonf1rTi flio nrmpnf.

Thus, so far as propabilitics are concerned, the matter seems settled. i A letter from Washinfrton to the t . Q Tribune says that there are increasing evidences of a character which while they are convincing, cannot well be particular ized, going to show that the Cuba move ment is an affair of greater moment than has been supposed. It appears that the Loco-Foco party at the South have a hand in this matter, and that the bold design is to make the present or prospec tive annexation of Cuba, as the event may warrant, an element in Presidential can vass. It is supposed that this movment will unite the hitherto refractory factions of the fierce democracies in that turbulent section of the union, and that with aid of that and the " Union" operation thcy will be able to carry off Whigs enough all round to make success tolerably cer tain.
