The Law of False Pretence. We cut the following from the Philadel phia Sun of Monday last: In the Quarter Sessions, on Saturday, be fore Judge Allison, a young man from Har- nsburg, named George W. Irwine, was heard on a habeas cornus charged with obtaining SI and five day's board on false pretence. The young man look board at a hotel in Mar ket street, and called for a room to himself. He informed the landlord that his father was a wealthy citizen of Harrisburg, and reques ted him to let him have whatever he called for j as his father would settle any bill he might' I incur. He gave the landlord .$20 to keep for 1 him until next morning, and stated that he nad three or lour hundered dollars in his va- Use. The next morning he got the $20. During his residence at the hotel he received company in his room and treated them to li quor and segars, until his bill amounted to $16. He was notified of his indebtedness by the landlord, when he informed him that he had deposited his money with a friend of his father's in Market street, and said he would get it on Monday morning (that heing Satur day night) and pay him. lie then borrowed 1 from the landlord, and on Monday morn ing disappeard, and was subsequently arrest ed. Judge Allison said, that according to the ' landlord's own showing, the defendant had j . j -.it- c..-n i i .i deposited with him 20 which was more than sufficient to pay his bill, and he had no right . to look to S300 or S400 for its payment. lhe delendant may have told a lie about hav- , ing that much, but that would not alter the case. No landlord ought to be encouraged in giving young men whatever quantity of li quor, &c., that they may choose to .call for, and it might be a subject of doubt whether a recovery could be had, under such circum stances. The itw of false pretence was not intended to cover such cases as the present, and he w ould therefore dant. discharge the defen- A Washington letter to the Baltimore Sun says: "There is increased reason to believe tliat after tLe WLig aud Dem ocratic nominations sLall be made, a Na tional Union Convention will be called, and Leld in Washington, for the purpose of making a platform, and presenting a Presidential ticket.

Closing Scene of Use Legislature. Friday Evening, March 26, 1852. The House met in the evening, and after the business had been gone through with, the members gave themselves up to a degree of levity which it has not been our fortune to witness in any previous Legislature. It had leaked out that a demijohn of brandy, with crackers and cigars, had been provid ed by the Secretary of State for the proper re ception of his friends, and in a few minutes, as might have been expected, the House was without a quorum! The House was repeatedly called, and finally a quorum was brought together, and it was very evident that they had imbibed a very lively spirit. A motion tvasmade to appoint a committee to wait on the Governor, to see whether he had any communication to make to the House. A member rose to a "pi h" of order.

This set the House in a roar, and created f th(j s ;cion in the mind 0f Mr. Sanford that he waaabout to be victimized to the ruling passion for fun. He looked in his desk and found the demijohn, pulled it out, and with all his strength broke it into ajlhousand pieces by dashing it against the floor. While this was going on the roars of laughter had reach- ed an extravagant height and immediately after a dead calm prevailed. Here a member very gravely rose and broke the silence by offering a resolution, requesting Mr. Sandford to deliver a temperance address! Mr. Sanford replied that when he addressed temperance meetings, he always preferred a sober audience ! ! A short time after the destruction of the demijohn , whether from the loss of the con tents, or from the evident impropriety of at tempting a hoax on a quiet and seriously in clined gentleman, there was a dead calm, which was only disturbed by the snoring of two colored men, who, tired of the fun, had gone to sleep in. the gallery, stretched out on the seats at their full length. Tho snoring brought them into conspicuous notice, and at once excited the risibles of the members. The following resolution was then offered : Resolved, That the two colored gentlemen in the gallery be appointed delegates to rep resent this legislature in the next Buffalo Convention. This resolution was adopted with tremen-. dous applause, but not sufficiently loud to a rouse the colored men. A member then took the broken demijohn and sent it with great force into the gallery. It struck one of the colored men, and awoke both. At first they appeared terrified, but seeing the demijohn on the floor they com prehended the cause, and at once instituted an examination into the contents, which howev er, had been taken care of by the gentleman below, before thedemijohn reached the gen tleman above. A member here asked the privilege of giv ing notice of the introdnction.of a bill. Leave being granted, he gave notice of the follow- mg: A bill to pay for the contents of the bot tle found in Mr. Sand ford's desk.V The following resolution was then offered: Resolved, That a committee of lhe third House be appointed to inquire for the where abouts of the par-redemption bills. Cries for Iloxsey, Grover, Mairs, &c. Mr. Hoxsey was seen in the lobby and brought up to the Speaker's chair by main force. He congratulated the House on hav ing passed the par-redemption principle. A resolution was here offered to invite the Governor to address the House. A commit tee was appointed to request his presence. Mr. Young called the "Previous Question." Several members rose to their feet and usked the Speaker what the question was. The Chair The "Previous Question!" What in the d 1 is the previous ques tion i" inquired another. " I move the chair explain," said a third. The chair, after several loud raps with his large hammer, said if the House would come to order he would explain. " Order, order, order lets have the chair's explanation." The Chair "As far as lam able to under stand the question it is the Previous Ques tion .'" This announcement was received with tre- mendous applause. Here a gentleman rose to offer a resolution which he thought would meet the whole dif- ficulty. Several members objected that it was not in order. -- wliun iHtlU illUL lb HO U 1 V dj' O III V v v to settle a difficulty ! " Good," said several voices.

Gov. Bigler in his late special Message to the Legislature states that there is now due and unpaid 2491,255 of the bonds of the Commonwealth, bearing an interest of 6 per cent, and a balance of ne ar one hundered thousand dollars due to domes tic creditors, bearing a like rate of in terest, besides SI ,360,000, at 5 per centj over two millions will fall due in 1853. and about three millions m i04. lhe J Governor suggests that. .the State avail itself of the present easy Tconditon of the Money market, to negotiate a new loan at a lower rate of interest, for the can sellation of these matured bonds. The Governor believes that the bouds of the State, exempted from taxation, could be negotiated at such rate of interest as to make a very desirable saving to the Treasury. " Glory to Goodness I" said the woman who had financiered out of a quandary, "I, have borrowed money enough to pay all my debts !' JY! Y. Tribune.

A new loan is considered by "party' as a financial scheme to get out of an old diffi culty.
