It is with no ordinary pleasure we hail the rc-c-lection of this distinguished jurist to the Supreme Bench of Pennsylvania. The peo ple of the State would, in our judgement, have committed a great mistake, if they had failed to leave him iu the position which he has adorned for the past three years. He is to be sure, under a provision of the constitu tion, no longer Chief Justice, but he is still tltere to add his strong legal intellect to the decisions which emanate from the Court. We have no disposition to undervalue the judicial character of Judge Sniyser, nor give an opin- district Judge, and the other is personally un known to every individual with whom we have conversed. Hut Judge Black has shown himself to be one of the strong men of the state, and so far as we could learu, a large majority of the members of the bar of Penn sylvania without distinction of party were fa vorable to his re-election. The opinion has been freely given iu this quarter, by those who have practised before him that he ought to be re-elected. His clear and able letter in reply to those who interrogated him on the subject of the temperance law, gained him hosts of admirers, and his judicial decisions have been so able aud conclusive general!' that we think the state would have sustained j to be one lug elected to the J louse pledged a loss, if the people had failed to elect him. j to vote for a Democratic U.

His name is Brown. important a member as Judge Black. Jt-S?" The Mercer Western Prat, iu an ar tide showing the absurdity of claiming the result of the late elections as any indication on the Nebraska question, says: The idea, insinuated by the Whig that the Nebraska question had anything to do with the result, is preposterous.

These are the political principles which ruled in the late election, and which were made successful by means of a secret and oath bound association that held its meetings in the dark, acted in the dark, and voted iu the dark. t-ty The elections in Ohio and Indiana, resulted as they did in our own State, only a little raorc so the fusionists nil combined a gainst the National Democracy. This is claimed in some places, as an anti-Nebraska triumph, and a condemnation of the National administration on account of its support of that measure. This cannot be so. That measure vindicates and establishes the great principle of popular sovereignty of the capa bility of man for self government. Will the people turn against themselves ? The repu diation of the principles of the Nebraska bill would be so understood. That was a wise and a just measure, and its enemies will be very anxious to draw a veil over the past be fore they are two years older.

Mr. Edwin Wil liams, the statistical editor of the New York IhroM, died in that city ou Saturday night. His death was caused by an attack of the cholera in the most aggravated form. Washington Monument It is stated that the managers of the Washington monument, which for sonic years past has been languishing on the banks of the Potomac, are about re linquishing the work and turning it over to Congress. We highly approve of this deter mination. It is only proper.that if a national monument is to be constructed, as a mark of the veneartion in which the memory of Wash ington is held by the American people, that it should be a national work, recognized by the approbation and appropriations (which is quite as necessary) of Congress. It will then be a monument worthy of the name, and just as much the act of the people of the United States as if the present plan of drumming up subscriptions could be carried out. And it will also have this advantage that it will then be a national work. Selling Out a Navy Yard The Naval Agent at Memphis, Tennessee, advertises to be sold to the highest bidder, on the first day of November, all the moveable public proper ty belonging to the Navy Yard at the said place, consisting of au immense schedule of hemp, tar, building materials, machines, tools, furniture, horses, wagons, artillery, &.e , in pursuance of the late act of Congre ss, surren dering the said Navy Yard as a free gift to the City of Memphis A Bridge over theMississippi.

It would cost a mil lion and a half of dollars, an amount deemed insignificant compared with its advantages. A Loan. A letter from Borne, of the SOth inst., states that the pontifical government has just contracted a loan for four millions of erovn? (.840,090) with the house of Roth schild. The firt instalment is to be paid to the government in the course of the eusuing mouth. results ! ' i. . r Fob Kansas. The parties already sent out by the New York Kansas League, have amounted altogether to about 6 or 700 per sons, and among them have been a number of families. 1000 or more are preparing to follow this month, many of whom belong to the American Settlement Company, whose leaders went about three weeks since to choose a location, occupy a large tract, and lay out a city This isa stock company, the shares of j $5 each, entitling the holder to a vote and a city lot. The plans are matured for the im mediate establishment of all the institutions of our refined Eastern society in the commu nity. All symptoms of opposition to the op erations of the friends of liberty, in Kansas, appear to have ceased. American Difficulty with Switzerland. It apiears, by letters by the last steamer from abroad, that our government is now to have a ! case on hand with the Swiss Republic, for in juries done an American citizen, Mr. Phillips, who speedily returns to the United States to lay his case before Secretary Marcy. It seems it became known to the Swiss police that Mazzini was tra veling upon the continent with an American passport, presented himself at Basel, he was ar rested, and conveyed before an officer of justice. He was there treated with great indignity, and was even told that he lied. After his interrogato- f ry he was placed in jail, where he was kept seven days and nights in solitary confinement, and fed upon bread and water. He did not know what his offence was, the police, of course, supposing that he knew himself to be a contraband Italia: Jacobite. He asked to see the American 'Consul but the request was refused. He was finally released, receiving bis leave t depart from the lips of the jailor. He was allow ed to confer with no higher officer than the turn key. He came to Paris, had an interview with Mr. Mason, who advised him to go to ISern anj ask for an explanation from the central Govern incut. He did so, successively asking for 23,00 francs damages, then the refunding of his actuaV expenses, and finall- for an apology. All were refused, aud Mr. Thillips, upon advice, proceeds home for a federal interference. This is the most extraordinary case that has yet occurred of Euro pean persecution of Americans. That it shouW have been furnished by Switzerland, is singula and regretable. Mr. George Sanders, in a late letter from London, advised Switzerland to treit refugees with less severity, and the positive conso quence has been the infliction of unusual har.-di ness upon the erson of an American mistakei for a refugee. It is expected that the republb will be forced to adopt some strict measure by tie surrounding powers, in consequence of that let tel.

Ampudia endeavored to make his escape, accompanied by ten horsemen, but his friends, the rebels, succeeded in finding him, and for the sake of poor Mexico, shot hira on the spot.' "A rumor has been current for some days past," says the Buffalo RepuUic, "that the schooner Robert Willis, whose sudden disappearance on Lake Michigan last fall was noticed at the time, and of which no intelli gence was ever afterwards received, had been captured by the Mormons of Beaver Island, her captain and crew massacred, and the ves sel unloaded and scuttled. The news of her capture, &c, is said to have been received through a Mormon who escaped from the community at Beaver Island, and who has made oath to the facts above stated. It is also said that the U. S. steamer Michigan has been sent to the Island to look into the affair." Sheep and Dogs. Important Decision. Daniel Carter recently shot a dog in Cecil J county, Md . belonging to Ed. W. Mahany, for killing his sheep. Mahany sued him be fore a magistrate and got judgment for $25 damages, from which Carter appealed to the circuit court. The defence alleged that to justify the shooting of the dog he must be caught in the act of worrying or killing the sheep. The court (Judge Constable on the bench,) held a different opinion, reversing the magistrate's decision. The Cecil Whig fays: " Judge Constable is reported to us to have decided unequivocally and clearly that under the Euglish common law, and the Maryland statutes for the protection of sneep, which ex tended the common law, any person who sees a dog within an enclosure where there are sheep, no matter whether he be the owner of the sheep or an entire stranger, and has suffi cient reasons for believing he is there for the purpose of worrying or killing the sheep, is perfectly justifiable in killing him on the spot or even in pursuing and killing him.

The inedalions at the top, the word five in the body of the note, and the figures on each end have been neatly scraped, and the figures of $50 pasted thereon. The alteration is so well executed, that nine out of ten persons would be deceived. Look out for them. Wine. According to an official statement, the quantity of wine made in Portugal in the year 1S52, amounted to 22.170.307 almeide ! or about 81.002.000 ga!lon. 1 Sir John Franklin's Party. The Montreal papers of Saturday, contain some additional details in relation to the dis covery of the remains of a portion of Sir John Franklin's party. It appears that in the spring of 1850, a party of about forty whites were Been travelling southward over the ice, and dragging their boats, by a party of Esqui maux Indians, who were killing seals on the north shore of King William's Land None of the party could speak the native language intelligibly, but by signs the natives were made to understand that the ships to which the party belonged, had been crushed in the ice, and they were then going where they ex pected to be able to find deer. From their appearance the men all looked thin, except one chief officer. It is supposed they were getting short of provisions, inasmuch as they purchased seal from the natives. At a later date in the same season, and previous to the disruption of the ice, the bod ies of about thirty white persons were discov ered on the continent, and five more on the is land, near about a long day's journey, say thirty-five or forty miles northwest of a large rtream, which can be no other than the Great Fish Itiverof Buck. Some of the bodies were found buried, some in tents, others under a boat turned bottom upwards, while several lay scattered about in different directions Of those found on the island one is supposed to have been an officer, as he had a telescope strapped over his shoulder and a double-b.r-relled gun underneath him. From the mu tilated state of many of the corpses and the contents of the kettles found, it is evident that the party had been driven to cannibalism. The party appears to have had au abundant stock of amunition, and there must have been a number of watches, telescopes, compasses, guns, fc, all of which appear to have been broken up. Dr. llae saw pieces of these ar ticles in the possession of the Esquimaux, to gether with some silver spoons, forks, &c. As many as could be obtained were purchas ed, and a list of the most important relics found; with drawings of others would be for warded to London. A New Gun It is stated that a journey man gun-maker some time since invented a new kind of gun, which has been repeatedly tried by the Emperor of Austria and his prin cipal officers. The weapon is pronounced to be far superior to the Minnie rifle; it carries j 2000 paces, and at 1200 sends a bullet three ! inches deep into a deal target. His Majesty has made the inventor a lieutenant in the ar my, and given him an order. Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, a Catho lic signer of the Declaration of Independence, is said to have contributed $1,000,000 to the American cause. Pjssengers from Foreign Countries. -By the annual statement of the Secretary of State, presented to Congress at the last session, it appears that there arrived in the United States, during the j-ear 1853, the following number of passengers : Males 23(5,596 ; Fe mabs 164,181 ; total 400,777. Of these there weie citizens of the United States, males 28, 572; females 35G2; total 32,134 leaving of aliens a sum total of 368,643 The larger portion of these were from Ireland and Ger many. The Secretary of State says the re port, like all which have proceeded it for the last twtnty years, cannot claim that accuracy and coiiprehensivc-uess of detail which the law contemplates. The table giving the ages of the passengers, shows that persons between tweuty and under twenty-five years of age were the most numerous, there being OS, 609; whilst the same table shows that hope never dies with man, for there were of forty years and rpward 44,051 who sought new homes in the wesUrn world. Maxims on Money. The art of living ea sily as to money, is to pitch your scale of liv ing one degree below your means. Comfort and enjoyment are more dependent upon ea siness in the detail of expenditure than upon one degree's difference in the scale. Guard agaiDst false associations of pleasure with ex penditure the notion that, because pleasure can be purchased with money, therefore mon ey cannot be tpeut without enjoyment What a thing costs a man is no true measure of what it is worth to him ; and yet how often is his appreciation governod by no other standard ; as if there were a pleasure in the mere expen diture itself. Letyour-elf feel a want before you provide against it. You are more assu red that it is a real want ; and it is worth while to feel it a little, in order to feel the re lief from it When you are undecided as to which of two courses you would like best, choose the cheapest. This rule will not only save money, but save also a good deal of tri fling indecision. Too much leisure leads to expense ; because when a man is in want of objects, it occurs to him that they are to be had for money ; and he invents expenditures in order to pass the time Death of a Priest Rev Daniel Hickey, a Catholic Priest, died of dysentery, at West Alexander, Washington county, on the 5th inst. The Examiner says he was a faithful minister of his church, and was greatly res pected by all who new him in this communi ty. His funeral nnmernnslv attended bv ; persons of every denomination. ARRIVAL OP THE AFRICA. St battopol not taken. Omar Fatha's Des patch a forgery. Fighting going on. Sandy Hook, Oct 20. The Africa has just passed here. She brings' the extraordi nary intelligence that the late news from the seat of war is totality false. Sebastopol is not taken, the destruction of the Russian fleet is false, no explosion of Fort Constantiue has taken place, and Menschikoff has not surrendered. Omar Pasha's despatch proved to have been a forgery. The fighting ou the Crimea continues unin terrupted, and Sebastopol is formally in vested. Great sensation has been ereated through out Europe by the contradiction of what all had hoped to be correct. The reported fall of Sebastopol is utterly false. The allies are now investing it. The official extra Gazette publishes the following from Lord Stratford De Radcliffe to Lord Cla rendon. Constantinople, Sept. 30 The allied armies established the base of their operations on Balaklan, on the morning of the 28th, and were preparing to march without delay on Sebastopol. The Agamemmnon and other vessels of war are at Balaklava, where the battering trains are being disembarked. . It is stated that Menschikoff is on the field with 20,000 men, expecting reinforcements. Anapa has been burned by the Russians Balaklava, which is occupied by the allies, commands the approaches to Sebastopol, which is considered to be invested. It is doubtfully rumored that the second line of defences have been carried. Omar Pasha has ordered part of his army t to be ready for embarkation to the Crimea. Austria intimates that it will consider the Czar's prolonged refusal of the four conditions as a 'casus belli.' The garrison of Anapa is marching to the scene of action. The French Ambassador, at Vienna, has telegraphed to the Miuister of Foreign Affairs, on the 4th inst , that the intelligence from Omar Pasha was but au exaggeration of the battle of Alma. j The Austrian Consul at Odessa telegraphs that the struggle recommence 1 on the 25th, j and was continued when the courier left on j the 27th. The allies were on the route to Baalbak, and were withiu ten miles of Se bastopol on the 27 th. Kaltibore, Oct. 24. New Orleans papers of Wednesday are received with Galveston dates to the 15. Apprehsions are felt for the fate of the 5 team ship Nautilus due from the mouth of the Hio Grande for more than a wtek. Parties of Indians are out in different directions and depredations are constantly committed. One of the companies raised by the State had ren dezvoused at Goliad. An encounter with the Indians took place in Star county. The troops lust a coi jkji1 and had several men wounded. The Indians ver finally dispersed. Three men were shot at Camarg on the 4th i ult.; one for desertion, one for murder an 1 the other for various murders. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE T ASIIIXGTOV ! Sandy Hook, Oct. 24. The steamship Wash ington, from Bremen and Southampton, arrive! this evening, bringing London dates to the 11th inst., four days later than the Africa's advices. She brings also 250 passengers. The Washington left Bremen on the 11th iust., and has about 200 tons of valuable freight, and the usual mails. S!c will not come up to the city till morning. FROM THE SEAT OK WAR. No official de-patches have been pul li.-l.ed re lative to the battle of Alma. The English are reported to have lost 2000 iu the battle in klPcd and wounded, and the French 1400. The allies had changer! the place of their con- j tempi a ted operations and were preparing to at tack Sebastopol from the south, where it tms j found to be weaker. The base of operations is Balaklava, where the ! cavalry and siege artillery had been landed. The Russians had sunk seven ships of the lin-.-at the mouth of the harbor. The bombardment of Sebastopol was begun on the 5th of October. Marshal St. Arnaud is dead, snd the command of the French army has devolved on General , Canrolert. The city of Memel has been almost wholly de-htroj-ed by fire. After the battle, the Russians burned all the villages they passed through in their flight. They left C000 wounded behind them. One thousand Russians who were escorting a convoy of muni tions of war, had been made prisoners. Menschikoff himself narrowly escaped capture. On the 29th of September 130 heavy guns were disembarked at Balaklava. Prince Gortschakoff is ill. There is a great concentration of Turkish troops at Matschin. Omar Pasha is to commence operations against the Russian troops at Bessarabia immediately. France. Despatches from Marseilles, under date of the 10th, announce that orders have been given to receive the remains of Marshal St. Ar naud with all the honors paid to him upon his departure for Constantinople. The farewell which he had addressed to the army, and dated the 26th of September, had by a crnel disease, against which he has so long struggled, he is obliged to resign the command. He pays the highest compliment to his successor. Gen. Canrobert. Louisville. Oct. 21. The letter bag, with the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore letters, for Columbua, Ohio, was stolen to-day on the Jefferson Railroad. Oct. 24.

HIMSELF AND COMPANIONS STARV ED TO DEATH Montreal, October 21. A despatch from Dr. Rea, dated York Factory, August 4th, has been received by Sir George Sampson, Governor of the Hudson Bay Territory, nar rating the discovery of the remains of Sir John Franklin and his unfortunate compan ions. They were starved to death in th spring of lfcoJ, to the northwest of Fox river The "'Montreal Herald" says:--We yesterday despatched a special mes senger to the Hudson Bay Company's house at La Chien, and through the kindness of Governor Sir George Simpson, are enabled to lay before our readers the following outlines: a despatch was received yesterday from Dr. Ilae. Rae has been absent on the coast since the 1st of June, 1853, and returned to York Factory on the 28th of August last, from whence he forwarded letters by expresa to Sir George Simpson, via Red River settle ment; in which, after briefly noticing the re sult of his own expedition, he proceeds to state that from the Esquimaux Indians, he obtained certain information of Sir John Franklin and his paity, which were starved to death, after the loss of their ships, which were crushed by the iec, while making their way to Great Fish river, or Buck, near the ourlet of wlich a party of the whites died, leaving the accounts of their sufferings, near mutilated corpses, which were evidently fur nished to their companions. The information, although not derived from the Esquimaux, who communicated with th whites, and who found the remain, but from another baud who obtained the details rua voce, may be relied on There is no doubt left of the truth of the report, as the natives have iu their possession various articles of European manufacture, which had been in the possession of the whites ; among tnese are several silver spoons, forks, ic, on one of which is engraved "Sir John Franklin, K. C. B.," while others have crests and initials which identify the owners as having belonged lo the ill-fated expedition. Drawings of some of these have been sent down. The fearful tragedy must have occurred in the spring of 1850. Cincinnati Broker fled. Cincinnati, Oct. 23. P B. Mauchest r, banker, fled from this city ou Saturday night. He was arrested at Lawrenceburg yesterday at the instance of one of his depositors living there. His trunk was opened and a large amount of rail-road stocks was found. He satisfied his creditor with these, and was allow ed to depa-t. He left Lawrcnceburgh last uiglit at midnight, and it is supposed he will take passage on a down-the-river boat. Ifa had deposited with him here 70,000, chief ly the property of widows and other needy persons, and the property lie ha assigned for their benefit will not pay over ten ceuts on the dollar. Important from Havana. New Orleans, Oct 1. Letters received here from Havana by the steamship Black Warrior, report that the assassin of Castiue da, the captor of General Lopez, succeeded in making his escape. The funeral cortege of the murdered mau was composed ejtxrelv of the police force paraded for the occasion by order of the Government. The indignation of the jmpulace at this proceeding was very great, and the procession was frequently insulted by opprobrious cries from the people, which irritated the members of the police to so high a degree that they at tacked the eople, and several were killed and wounded in the affrav. Large bodies of troops were ordered out, aud the guards at the gates of the city, and other stations, were immediately doubled, a some pojnlar outbreak was feared. (uiet was however, soon restored, although the previous excitement was most intense, an all were commenting upon this subject in terms by no means favorable to Gen. Concha. A letter says : ' This is the second occasion of a popular disturbance during the last four months, and is an evidence of the growth of dissatisfac tion." Such commotions against the government were unknown before the present year, al though several attempts had been previously made to assassinate Castancda. Death or the Catholic Priest who wii Tarred and Feathered. We last evening received information of the death of the Cath olic priest, John Babpst, an Italian, who was tarred and feathered and ridden on a rail in Ellsworth, Me., on Saturday night last, whilo on a visit to that place. The only excuse yet offered in palliation of the atrocious conduct of the mob, is that, formerly, when a pastor tn Ellsworth, he engaged in a controversy on the School question. Admitting that tho priest could have been guilty of any miscon duct sufficiently vile to warrant popular vio lence, his participation in a discussion of an open question, was certainly not of such a character The attack upon him for the causa given is a disgrace to the town, which can on ly be removed by earnest and energetic efforts on the part of the respectable citizens of Ells worth to bring the perpetrators of this outrage to the sevcreEt punishment prescribed by law for the crime they have committed.
