The' clo' sint. proceedings will be found in another col umn. Six hundred anAighty-four bills were passed during the session. The greater number of these were, for the in corporatioa of various kinds of companies including along array of Banks and insur once companies. The principal acts c, general importance are the Liquor Law and the act for the sale of the Main Line of public improvements. GALE OF THE MAIN LINE. The bill providing for the sale of the Main Line of the the public works, has passed both branches of the Legislature, recicved the Governor's signature, and is therefore a law. It fixes the lowest price at seven and a half millions of &l iars, except to the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, who in case they purchase are to pay eight and a half millions.—. The additional price to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, is in- consideration of the remission of 'the three tax now imposed upon that company. 'the bill was passed in the Senate by almost a strict party vote—the Whigs and Americans sustaining it with determined zeal, and the Locofocos, with the honor able exception of Speaker Holster, op posing it with all the force of party cipline they could command. Considerable doubt is expressed whether the Line can be - disposed of at the price fixed in the bill. The Road under its present management, has been going down hill for the lust two or three years. The total receipts from Nov. 30 1.85§, to the Ist of April, 1854, were $378,963 51; while for the same period in the last and present year they readied only $248,486 49—thus showing a de crease of receipts in 1855 of $130,176 08. The people of 'the Commonwealth will have amplo cause for congratulation should the,present effort to effect n'sale be successful. TM` VIRGINIA ELECTION exciteamore general interest than any other State con test which has occurred for years past. The Old Dominion has so long and so faithfully adhered to the Denrcearotir party, disappointing all expectations o her desertion, even in periods of over whelming Whig victories elsewhere, that if she change her allegiance now, it wi' be an event of more than ordinary import ance. Our exchange papers from all quni tars reveal to us the deep anxiety IV every where as to the result of the ex cited canvass which is now progressing and beyond a doubt an immense amom: of money has been staked upon the law These are the invariable characteristic of American excitements. Mr. WiE appears to be quite sanguine of hie elm Lion as Governor, but• he has seen I , noti ing of the operations of, his antagonist, all of which are secret, nor can he ' for, even a guess as to how many of those . • oonstantly meets., belong to the America Party- '• • The Poet Office Department has frau ed a series of instructions for. the: guilt once of Post Masters, upon the ititrodu Lion of the new system for the registrant ,of valnahlo letters.

A high state of excitement prevails in Kansas territory, concerning' the recent disgraceful outrages perpetrated in that . Territory. A leader of the Pro-Slavery party, named ('lark, has been killed at a public meeting at Leavenworth. A 'dis pute arose as to which party had the ma jority. Mr. Clark claimed it for his par ty, and McCrea, of the Anti-Slavery par ty, replied that this was a lie. Hereupon Clark struck McCrea with a club, stun ing him; but as soon as he came to himself, he drew a revolver and shot his assailant dead. This done he escaped, though shots were fired at him. Finally his friends gave him up to the United States officers at the fort, in whose cus tody he remained, though a desire to take him out and lynch him,Was fested. A handbill was printed and \ circulated all over the country, up and down the river,- calling upon all pro-slavery men, all true friends of the South and of sla very in Kansas, to meet on Thursday at Leavenworth City, to take into consider ation the aspect of affairs and to adopt measures of proceeding in the present. crisis. The handbill is signed B. F. Stringfellow and John W. Kelly, editors of The .S9.uatter Sovereign, .J. Marion Alexander, 'and a number of others.— 'Mr. George V. Park, whose printing establishment was lately thrown into the Missouri river and himself threatened with death if he did not leave the State by a specified time, has published a man ly and eloquent address,. in which he de clares his determination not to yield to the demands of the mob and that he would prefer death at his . oWn home rather than to flee,- like a base culprit, for no offence. It is since reported that his house has been burned down. and himself lynched in Kansas, though the report needs confirmation. Meantime the people of Kansas have published a memorial, addressed to the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. S. in. which they have set forth with minute detail and great force of language the atrocious outrages of which they have been the victims at the hands Of the Missouri outlaws, whose interfer ence in the Kanaas elections they justly Characterize as the " commencement of a well matured and settled plan by a large portion of the people of one of the States of our union permanently to en slave us and constitute themselves our masters." The outrages committed at the election on the 30th of March are thus described ; ,The occasion came, and with it came our in vading and self-constituted masters , in thous• ands, and with the paraphernalia of war. They came organized in bands, with officers, and arms, and tents, and provisions, and munitions of war, as though they were marching 'upon a foreign fo e instead of their own unoffending fellow citizens. Upon the principle road lead ing into our Territory, and passing several im portant polls, they numbered not less than twelve hundred men, and one camp alone con tained not less than six hundred. They arrived at their several destinations the night before the election, and having pitch• ed their camps and placid their sentries, wni ted for the coming day. Baggage wagons were there, with arms and ammunition fora protracted fight, and among them two brass field pieces, ready charged. They came with drums beating an I flags flying, and their lend• ers were of the most prominent and conspicu ous men of their respective States. In the morning they surrounded the pools, armed with guns, bowie knives and revolvers, and de clared their det.ermination to vote at all baz• ards and in ,Spita of all consequences. At one of these polls", two of the judges hav ing manfully stood up in the face of this armed mob, and declared they would do their duty, one portion of the mob commenced to ter down the house, another proceeded to break in the door of the judges' room, whilst others, with drawn knives posted themselves at the window, 'with the preclaimed c purpose of killing any vo ter who would allow himself to be sworn. Vo ters Were dragged from ..the window because they would not show their tickets or vote at the dictation of the mob and the invaders de clared openly at the polls that they would.aut the throats of the judges if they did not receive their votes without requiring an oath as to their residence. In the commission of a similar manage in the 18th election • district, they state that "the leader and captain was a • dis tineished citizen of Alissouri, but late the presiding officer of the• Senate of the mill who, had.bowie knife and .re volver bolted around him apparently ready to.shed the,bloodi - of any man who r.•rn,ed to he tm'd:Lv, A f;wt, gailaizait -0.-kasakto to establish by'pioof. These are the fruits of that inkplitous enactment which its mischeivous authors so loudly recomL mend as an effectual panacea for all the discord and contention which the slavery question threatened to produce in the territories of the republic. THE COST OF WAR. The British people are beginning to feel, by means of augmented taxes, says the N, Y. Courier, t at war is an expen sive-occupation, and the ening of the bombardment by the allies suggests a calculation as to the cost of the iron balls Which have been thrown into Sebastopol by the five hundred cannon vomiting their "infernal fire." The Courier gives the calculation as follows : The accounts by the Asia represent that each of these guns fired one hundred and twenty rounds a day, which gives a total for the five hundred, of sixty thousand rounds. This tire had been continued for thirteen days, making an aggregateof seven hundred and eighty thousand missiles rained upon the city. The weight of the shot fired &tint the guns of the Allies varies probably from nineteen to one hundred and forty pounds, and of the shells from fifteen to one hundred and ten pounds—and forty-five pounds would probably be a: low estimate for an average. This would give a daily delivery of iron to the Russians amounting to two millions seven hundred thousand pounds, and a total for the thirteen days of thirty five million one hundred thousand pOunds, the prime cost of which, in the rough, at the average price of pig iron in England for the last year, was not less than three hundred and thirteen thousand three hundred and eighty dollars. This is, of course, without any re gard to the enormous cost of transportation to the Crimea. If the cannon balls fired from the Allied lines, during the thirteen days, were rolled into rail bar/5401dd extend three hundred and thirty-two miles. The, charge of powder for each gun would probe hly average about six pounds, which would show an expenditure for the thirteen: days Of four millions six. hundred and eighty thou• sand pounds of powder. Such powder is worth here eighteen cents a pound, but in England,, would not, probably, cost more than fifteen cents, at which price the powder cost seven hundred and two thousand dollars. The Lo-nlon Times keeps up its assaults upon the Government. It says the 'great battle the English have to fight in the present war is at home, against the corruption and imbecility of the Government: While we are pressing Russia on the north and south we accomplish nothing, un less we deal with equal vigor with intestine mischiefs. That this country should be go verned at such a moment by a league of a few great families; that the administration of our War Department should be abandon ed to a valetuditiarian• ' that our War Depart ment should he worked on principles solemn ly condemned and unrelentingly adhered to; that the country should distrust the Go vernment; that the Government should have no confidence iii itself, and as little in those it employs; :and that Parliament should witness all these things and make no effort to amend them—this is more fatal to our in terests than all the myriads of half-starved serfs that are marshalled between the Baltic and Euxine, or all the hordes of Cossacks and Bashkir*, who rove between the forests of the Ukraine and the flozni morasses of Kamtschatka. Much anxiety is evinced for the arri val of the next steamer, as the result of Sebastopol will probably decide the siege. It was expected that the assault would be made after five days' firing ; but ten days have not rendered it practicable. 'The best report from the a'lLs is that their fire is superior to that of the Rus sians, and that some advantages have been gained over the exterior defences. Meantime, the guns of the besiegers are getting strained, and there , are rumors that their amunition is getting low. It is said that the government has received intelligence which it withholds from the public, and naturally the worst construe tion-iS put upon the news that is sup pressed. POSTPONED.--P. Sken Smith, Chair man,of„tihe American State Executive Committee, has taken the responsibility to postpone the Open - American State Convention, to be held at Harrisburg' in the terms of the original call, from Monday, the 7th day of May, to convene on Thursday, the 7th day of June, ensu ing; in order to give more time to tho different counties to select representa tives, and to.. advance " the progress of the great Open American Moveinent, which is destined to sweep over the laud of 11':1411ingt cm, 116,re the Ilre,idenim a l election of BROOIES VS. HUGHES. The Brooks and Hughes controversy is not yet at an end, although the discom fited Bishop,has been so badly cornered as to be compelled to ask for a " suspen sion of public opinion" until he can re ply to , Mr. Brc)ole last letter. Mean time Mr. Bro , Iks contends, and justly too that he has airly won that library. e___ STATE APPROPRIATIONS.—Tho gener al appropriation bill passed by the Legis lature of this State, at its` last session, contained in the aggregate appropria tions amounting to $4,600,094 45, of whi c h amount $2,000,000 was for inter est on the funded debt, 8125,000 for the expenses of the Legislature, 230,000 fur the support of Common Schools; $277,- 730 for the completion of Portage Rail road ; $250,000 for the relaying the South track of the Columbia Railroad. BARNUMS PROPOSED BABY Snow.—Mrs. , -E. Oakes Smith__ has published an indignant pro test against the use of her name in connection with Barnum's proposed baby exhibition. She thus speaks : • I am conscious of a sense of profound pain and - humiliation to think any woman. will countenance in any way a demonstration like the one proposed. No true woman can or will do so. Indeed I hardly think any fall-born American woman would. It seems to me the natural modesty and decent common, sense of the sex might be enough' to protect them from what is utterly repugnant to the spirit of wo-, manhood. There is something intrinsically re volting in this attempt to force aside the veil which screens and protects the chaste matron, where she and her •.pretty I rood" within the sanctuary of home are exempt from the rude gaze of a prying curiosity, and thus thrusting her unblushingly into the public eye, with all the suggestions and none of the decencies of maternity. The harmaiiious woman, to whom has been dolt gated the fostering culture of a beautiful miniature of the Creator, wilt hold herself ns one made holy thereby, and she will profane neither herself nor child by any unseemly or ostentatious display of either. If her culture be of a high order she will shrink from it as from deadly sjn If she have a shred of wo manly pride in the fabric of her being, she will resent the implied insult offered her when in vited to figure personally in a human "live cattle show." LIQUOR. OPERAT/ONS or TUE LIQUOR LAW —lt Will be seen by a communication from Mr. Udolpho Wolfe, the proprietor of the "Aromatic Sihedam Schnapps," that the Pro hibitory Liquor act, in his view of the case, is not likely to interfere with the sale of the arti cle for medicinal purposes. To such purposes he urges now, as he has urged heretofore, that it be exclusively confined. His interpretation of the Ist and 22d sections of the law has strong arguments in its support ; arid it is quite likely that no attemp,t will be made to prevent him from doing business under them. There is much force in his remark that the per nioious effects produced by the use of adulter ated liquor, are among the leading causes which have led to the enactment of the' pres ent law ; and although he does not exactly en dorse the measure as it stands, ho admits, as all conscientious men admit, that restrictions on the sale of liquor much more stringent than those now in operation, were imperatively needed. —New York Daily Times, April 21.51. FREAKS ANONG THE PEACH BLOBBOIIB.-Dr. White, the postmaster at Union Star, Ky., in a letter to the Louisville Courier, notices a sin gular fact : In that section throughout every peach . or chard there has been a greater bloom than for many years past, and 'upon examining 'the blossoms n singular phenemenan is observable. In some orchards for every blossom examined there has been found inside the cups from one. to as many as seven well•formed peaches; and a large majority of the blossoms have three or• four cups in them. This bas luver been ob served in that part of Kentucky before. IT SLIOULD se. UNIVERSALLY KNOWN—for it Iserletiy. true—that indigestion !stile parent of a large prvpoition of the thtal diseases.
