The meeting at Leavenworth, called to lynch McCrea for the killing of Malcolm Clarke, passed a number of very violent resolutions, after finding it impossible to get possession of McCrea. Their spirit is, that no person shall be permitted to reside in the 'Territory who entertains or expresses sentiments opposed to slavery, which they declare to be.a recognised institution there. A Committee of Vigilance was appointed to expel all coming•within this category. This is the pith of these resolu tions, although not expressed iu the same terms. The account of the meeting in the St. Louis Republican, says that it was " ably and eloquently addressed, among others, by Judge Lecompto, one of the Judges of the Territo rial Supreme Court.

The mate says boldly that the Cap tain had great hopes of damage being done by the shot, so that a claim might be made which would payhandsomely. The British Commart-* der took her to be a Russian privateer, which was natural enough, as she refused to show her' colors. Punazo DEFAULTERB.—We have received a copy of a statement recently sent to the Legis lature, by the State Treasurer, containing list of the publicvdefaulters.

THE AMENDED SCHOOL LAW. • Independent school districts are continued until Juno Ist, 1850. Courts of Common Pleas are authorized to continue existing in dependent districts permanently, if desired, to determine the rights of property. Ten days' notice of the application and tirne•and place of hearing, in such cases, must be given to the School Directors of the district. When independent districts are continued, the asses sors aro to designate the texables therein, for the information of the tax collectors and county commissioners. ProVision,-,is-tnadelor the election of new directors in disiricts where none has taken place, and the old directors are continued until the expiration of their term. If twenty taxabics petition for the formation of a new independent district, the Court oeQuarter Sessions must appoint com missioners to view and make report as in the case of now townships, the costs in such cases to be paid by the new district, if it be erected, or if not, by the'petitioners, Courts of Quar ter Sessions are to determine the rights of property, and to decree the payment of money in the nature of a judgment. County Com missioners are to cause separate assessments fur school tax in new districts, and send to the Superintendent of Common Schools a list of the taxahles therein. In any county where a majority of the school districts shall apply to have the salary of their local Superintend• eat increased, the State Superintendent shall call a convention of the directors of the whole county to decide thereon. The Pennsylvania School Journal is designated as" the official organ of the State Superintendent, to contain current decisions, circulars, explanations, &c. One copy of it is to be sent to each board of School Directors in the State. All boroughs and townships now connected in the assess ment of county rates and levies are hereafter to be seaarste. the school tax is limited to subjects certified by county commissioners.— School directors and treasurers are exempted from serving as tax collectors. The State ap propriation "to the respective school districts is to be paid for less than four months' school ing in districts where bona tide efforts have been made to comply with the pmvisions of the law requiring the schools to be kept open four months in the year, but have failed, from want of teachers, or timely knowledge of the late law, or other causes, which may be just and satisfactory to the Superintendent.— Many of these provisions aro very important to the school districts of the interior, and will be found useful in practice. Miss LUCIE' STONE has taken her time and got married: The liapPy , man who; by this net, has lost . his identity, is Mr. Henry Blackwell. We say, lost Ids identity, because ho will never be known.among men hereafter but "as the man (lint married - Lucy Stone." The knot was tied under a joint , protest of the parties against the existing laws and customs governing the marriage relation ; and stipula tions were exchnnged between them for the entire freedom of the person and property of each, from the control or claim ,of the other. So that Mrs. Lucy and Mr, Blackwell Stone are not one, as a legal fiction declares man and wife to be, but two separate and distinct indi viduals, joined in a sort of partnership of the affections. FIRE IN YORK —The borough of York was visited by a serious conflagration oil Monday evening week.

A great deal of fur niture was destroyed. The York papers any it was unquestionably the work of an incen diary. LATEST NEWS FROM EUROPE! AwitivAL: OF THE BALTIC ! -----_— , Bombardment of Sebastopol Suspended! ATTACK ON NAPOLEON The steamship Baltic, with advices from Li verpool to the sth Instant, arrived at New York ou Friday. The interest of the pews lies in the opera tions before Sebastopol, the dates from whit h by telegraph, are to the 4th instant, the day previous to the sailing of the steamer. The British government is very cautious in giving out it.telligence. But the fact that on the 28th ultimo, nineteen days after the bom bardment had commenced, the Allies lukd still made no progress warranting an assault, shows the desperate na'ture of the defence and the NO. 38 _ . little hope there is' of taking the town. The lust dates say that the Allies temporarily sus pended their fire on the 28th, but we do not hear subsequently of their having resumed it. The advices from Sebastopol are to the 4th 'List. The allies were steadily gaining ground, having captured all the Russian outworks. The position of the allies was regarded as critical, notwithstanding the advantages gain ed.. An immense Russian force is reported as concentrating near• Sebastopol. It is said to be 100,000 strong. Lord Raglan, in his despatches, admits that the bombardment did not pr• duce the to nl:h looked for. The list of casualties on the part .)f the Allies. is not heavy. The general impression in England is that the siege will shortly be abandoned for the present, and the, whole of Kamiesch an I lialak lava be left to the defence of a few corps, whi'e the main portion of the Allies try to penetrate the interior and out off the supplies.oftiebasto• pol, after which it is said .to be the design to completely invest the town. Numerous rein forcenients are constantly reaching the Allies. The French reserve of 80,000 men, near Con stantin-ple, was expected to be suit to Balak lava. Lard Jahn Russell had reached London, and I.llr,uyn` di L'll uys had arrived in Faris rum Vienna. I= The Russian official accounts to the 24th represent the damage sustained from the bom bardment as of little account, and actively re paired, while the skirmishes were generally successful. The loss sustained by the garrison from the llth to the 15th was 7 subalterns and 436 men killed, and 6 superior, 34 subaltern officers, and 1899 men wounded. The tigh:i had captured the first Russian Rifle pit on the night of the 17th ult., after a desperate encounter, in which Clo Graham Egerton, the field officer in command, was kin , . ed. On the '2oth an attack was made on the second Russian Rifle pit, when it was almost immediately abandoned. Accoraing to the statementri-of Polish deser• ters, there are 100,000 Russians in the vicinity of Sebastopol, 60,000 of whom arrived from Sempehropol. The Forts on the North side of the harbor have taken part in the cannonade. carrying their shots clear into the lines of the Allies. The latest despatches from Sebastopol state that a sharp engagement took place on the night of the Ist of May, when a front and ler attack was made upon the Russian rifle pits, and the whole taken, with eight light mortars and.2oo prisoners. The whole affair was a brilliant achievement for the Allies. The English papers have but little detailed news in relation to the bombardment. Al-des patch from Lord RAutdot, received by the Gov ernment, confirms the news of the suspension of the bombardment) On the 26th a Russian despatch was posted at Odess:i, stating that the French and Englisb•guns were silent ; that not a single Russian battery was demolished, and that 50,000 RussialM had arrived in the neighborhood of Sebastopol. The European Times of the 0 5th says that enough has transpired to prove that Sebasto pol cannot be taken by the means adopted, and nothing but a battle in the open field and a thorough investment of the fortress on all sides will effect the desired consudnualion. The advantage of taking the field would he to prevent supplies awl reinforcements from reaching Sebastopol by intercepting them at Perekop. All the women and children have been re moved from Sebastopol in anticipation of an assault. Every door and window bristles with cannon and muslptry. The Emperor of the French had a narrow,es cape from assassination on the evening of the 28th, while on his way to join the Empress in her usual ride in the Champs Elysees ' The Emperor accompanied by two officers of his household, when near the Barrier de l'Etoilo, was approached by a well-dressed man, with an action indicating a desire to present a peti tion. The latter advanced •to within five or six paces of the Emperor, who had not ob served him, when ho was discovered.by a po liceman. As •the policeman . was proceeding towards him a cab was rapidly driven between thorn ; and in the interval the individual had drawn a Jouble•barrelled pistol, and, aiming at the. Emperor, discharged. both. barrels, but without effect. Ho was immediately seized by the polioo, but not until ho had drawn anoth er pistol and made an attempt to shoot again. It is said that one of the balls grazed, the Em peror's hat. This would be assassin is an I talian, named Pianozi, and was formerly in Garibaldi's army. He was in London while the Emperor was there on his late visit, and would then have made the attempt if he bad not been prevented by the great concourse. of people. After this incident the Emperor proceeded with his ride, and visited the Opera Comique in the evening, where ho was greeted with im tnetise outbursts of loYalty and enthusiasm, The Emperor has decided not to recieve the formal address of congratulation, though an exception was made in regard to the British residents in Paris. The Corporation of Lon don have adopted an address. Pianozi is in close confinement and will. be tried about the middle of May.. Tho Fusion ist and Orleanist papers publish the official ao• counts from the Moniteur without a word of comment. I= PROGRESS OF THE SIEGE, ATTACK.ON NAPOLEON
