Several amend ments made to it in the Senate, were non-concurred in by the House, and it was sent back. It was likely to pass on Tuesday, and the Legis lature would adjourn on that day or yesterday. In another part of our paper will be found the Congressional apportionment Bill, which is now a law. This Bill gives to the Democrats 14 Congressmen, to the AYhigs 11. Nearly all the districts are largely Democratic, or overwhel mingly AYhig. This district is 'sort of good deal' Whig, consisting of Somerset, Huntingdon, Blair and Cauibria. AYe, however, feel perfect ly satisfied, and intend pitching into the nomi nee of our opponents with the force of several brick-bats, and hope by the assistance of our friends Traugh of the Standard, Lewis of the Globe, and Roddy of the Visitor, to knock a few oi me props irom under mm. hat say ycr boys! "There's no such word as fail" in the Democratic vocabulary. Awful Kxploslon.Loss of Life. On Tuesday morning, about nine o'clock, one of the boilers at the head of Plane No. 6, on the Portage R. R. exploded, completely demolishing the north end of the building, the brick stack, damaging the machinery of the engine and scal ding and injuring four persons, three of whom have since died. One Bection of the boiler, weighing about 500 lbs., was thrown a distance of 100 feet down the Plane. Mess. OwenReilly, and Mathew Purcell, the firemen, were severely "calded and otherwise injured, and died in the afternoon within a few minutes of each other. They were both young men, and without fami lies. Mr. Felix Handlin, who was a laborer a. bout the water-station, died on Tuesday night from the effects cf wounds and scalds received. Mr Abraham AYcstfall is injured on the head, whether seriously or not, we have not learneJ. This sad accident casts a gloom over the com munity, and we can scarcely realize the fact that thoe industrious men, respected for their good qualities by all, have so suddenly been cut off in the midt of a life of labor and usefulness and taken from our midst. But so it is. The pier cing sorrows which pervade the hearts of rela tions is shared in by hosts of friends. The cause of this frightful accident has no mystery about it. The boilers we understand have been in use for from twelve to fifteen years and have for a long time been considered unsafe. AYe are informed the boiler, which exploded, was in a leaking condition on the morning of the accident and entirety unfit for use. Had new boilers been provided by those having the pow er we would not have been under the sad neces sity of chronicling thismclnncholy bereavement and the henrth-stones of several families would cot now be desolate. The economy practised bv tie State and its agents at the expense cf the lives of men, is a falte and dreadfully responsi. ble one. A hope that a close inspection will be made of other machinery on the road and that proper and prompt means will be used to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents in nil quarters. The other ttationary engine 0$ the plane is in order, and cars passed as usual the some evening. Therefore, there is no delay to pasbtngcrs or freight. P5W.

AYhite, one of the agents of the line at this place, succeeds him. It is with much re gret that the citizens hern received the announce ment of Mr. Boone's departure, as he has on all occasions been prompt, energetic and decisive in protecting the rights of Americans, and in resisting the encroachments on those rights by the locai authorities here. In every instance where complaint has been made to him, he has with a ready hand repaired the grftvances, as far us could be done. This being a new Consu late, many difficulties must necessarily arise ; yet Mr. I oone has ablymet and overcome them, and I believe in his official capacity le has giv en entire satisfaction to all Americans iu this State." The .Southern Seceding Whig Address. AYashington, April 28. The Republic of this riorning contains the Address of the Southern Whigs dissenting from the proceedings of the late Congressional Cau cus. It is three columns and a half iu length and signed by Messrs. Morton and Brooke of the Senate, and Messrs. Marshall, of Ky., Gentry, Williams, of Tenn., Clingham, Colton, Stroth. er, Cabell, of Fla.f vnd Moore, of La. It is high-toned in its views and sentiments, aud calm and positive for sustaining all the measures of compromise. They assert no disposition to dis turb the harmony of the party, but avow that they cannot sustain any candidate or party un pledged to the finality of the compromise Mea. sures and the maintenance of the Constitution. The address breathes conciliation throughout, and the Republic, in an editorial referring to it, thinks that all will yet be right. The address'concludes by saying that if both political parties fail to shape, their future party organization on enlarged and fair principles, remain but one resort, and that to the people ! to the organization of an iade-pendent psrty, FKO.II OUR.

A close fisted old codger had a like ly daughter, whose opening charms attracted the attention of a certain nice young man. After some 'manceuvcring, "he ventured to open a courtship. On the first night of his appearance in the parlor, the old man, after dozing in his chair until nine o'clock, arose and put a log of wood on the fire, saying as he left the room "There, Nancy, when that is burnt up, it's time to stop."

A cotemporary has only asserted an opinion below, says the Peunxtlvanian, that is acknowl edged by every sensible man in the country. AYe endorse the declaration, that the Democrat ic party is destined to elect w hoever is nomina ted by the Baltimore convention. Every pros- r i t in rrtlitia .Tin u rT vo tn fnnrlor fho rDnliTitiAn e .1 - i i i v .-ii e of this opinion beyond a doubt and still fur- ther to establish the certainty, it is only neces sary for the Democracy to organize. AYe com mend the following to those who can doubt that the Democratic party is invincible : Of the triumphant election of the Democratic nominee no one seems at all to doubt. The sickening catalogue of blunders aiid crimes "sins of omission and commission" on the part of the present administration, has disgusted the masses so thoroughly, that a radical change is universally demanded. And, whether the stand ard bearer be the veteran Cass, Douglas, Bu chanan, Marcy, Butler, Houston, Dickenson, or any other of the good and true patriots who have been named, i. is fixed as the decrees of fate, that the "ides of March," 1852, will witness the inauguration of an out and out Democratic administration in the Capitol city, for the next four years. The Maine Liquor Law Again. In the atternoon session ot yesterday, say the Philadelphia Argus, May 1, the House resu med on second reading, the consideration of Mr. Hart's bill restricting the sale of intoxicating liquors in this State. Afttr considerable dis cussion, Mr. Fiffe moved to strike out all after the enacting clause, and insert the original Maine Liquor Bill. Mr: OcNeil raised a point of order. The Speaker refused to decide wheth er or not the motion was in order, and submitted the question to the House. A considerable dis cussion ensued, when the motion was decided to be in order j eas 49, nays 29. Much confusion ensued, in the midst of which Mr. Leech moved to adjourn, which was agreed to, and the House adjourned. Mr. Clay. The editor of the New York Knickerbocker, who recently paid a visit to Washington, relates this incident : "Passing the National Hotel at two o'clock on this bright and cloudless warm Sunday, we saw a tall figure, clad in a blue cloak, attended only by a lady and child, enter a coach before the door. Once seen, it was a face never to be for gotten. It was Henry Clay. That eagle-eye was not dimmed, though the great statesman's natural force was abated. Ae raised our hat and bowed our reverence and admiration ; our salutation was gractfully returned, and the car riage was driven away. As we walked on, to dine, we thought of the late words of that emi nent patriot : ':If the days of my usefulness as I have too much reason to fear, be indeed pas sed, I desire not to linger an impotent spectator oi tne on-scannea neia oi me. I have never looked upon old age, deprived of the faculty of enjoyment, of intellectual perceptions and en ergies, with any sympathy; and for such I think the day of fate cannot arrive too soon."

A great-sensation has been created by the state ment that the Russian Imperial almanac sets down Henrd V. as King of France, and Count de Paris as heir apparent. It is stated that orders have been issued to Belquinn, forbidding the entrance there of per sons expelled from France. It is considered extremely probable that an empire will be proclaimed by the President be fore the grand review, which is to take place on the 10th of May. No less than 2000 petitions have been presented, asking for the establish ment of an imperial government. It is officially stated that the internal and ex ternal policy of Austria will not be changed on the ground of tho death of Prince Schwartzen berg, who left a memorandum insisting upon the necessity of carrying out the whole policy adop ted by him.

Tolice Officer Ridgely, of the Independent Po lice, firm of Zell & Ridgely, of Baltimore, was the person who shot the fugitive slave Smith, at Columbia, Pa., on the 29th. He was pursued by an excited crowd from Columbia, and with great difficulty succeeded in reaching Baltimore. He gives the following account of the transac tion: He says, that having arrested the negro, he was surrounded by an excited and infuriated crowd of negroes, and in order to intimidate them as well as the alleged fugitive, he drew his pistol. The crowd continued to press upon him endeavoring to rescue the negro, who also made violent efforts to escape, and got his (Ridgely's) finger in his mouth. Having the pistol in his other hand, under the sudden im pulse of pain and excitement, he pulled the trig ger, and the ball passed through the body of the negro, causing his almost instant death. AYith gnat difficulty Ridgely escaped to Shrewsbury, and thence to Baltimore, where he is now seek ing legal advice. The negro, killed at Columbia was the runa way slave of Mr. Stansbury of Baltimore. Offi cer Ridgely declares that the shooting was alto 'ether accidental. The evidence before the inquest, held upon the body of the colored man, claimed as a fugi tive, disck S'-'S the following facts : Deputy Mar shall Snyder, of Ilarrisburg, accompanied by Officer Ridgely, of Baltimore, and Mr. Stansbu- ry, of Baltimore, arrived at Columbia on the 29th, n pursuit of an alleged fugitive slave, whom the latter claimed as his property. About 3 o' clock, in the afternoon, the party went to a lum ber yard, in the southern part of the town, where they found the alleged fugitive engaged n piling up lumber, and made an attempt to arrest him. A scuttle ensued, during which tlie negro got Mr. Ridgely's finger between his teeth, and at this juncture the officer drew his pistol, which, while the two continued struggling, went off, and the ball passing into the negro s neck, he fell dead instantly. Ridgely was pursued by the police, but he succeeded in escaping from the hotel where he was putting up. Officer Snyder took the cars for Ilarrisburg, where he was temporarily ar rested. But subsequently discharged without au examination. Mr. Fisher, the deputy coroner, held the in- quest. The deceased leaves a wne ana two cuu dren, having been a resident of this place about eighteen months. Ridgely, after escaping from the town, walk ed as far as Monkton mills, a short distance be yond the Pennsylvania line, where he took the cars for Baltimore. The excitement here still continues, and" it is positively alleged that the shooting was inten tional and not accidental. Application has been made to the Governor to issue a requisition, demanding the delivery of Ridgely for trial. Dliaitroui GalLo of Many Lives. Boston, April 30.
