The Exemption Law. Mr. PACKER, Senator from the Lycom tug District, in presenting a petition last week signed by citizens of that county, praying for the repeal of the law passed last session, exempting from levy and sale on execution, property to the value ixf $3OO, made the following philanthro pic, just and truly dettiocratic remarks : Mr. Speaker, I do not sympathise with the player of the petition I have just , presented. Ido not believe that the law Of last session will injure the "poor and Middle classes of community." I do not believe that by exempting the last three hundred dollars' worth of property of the poor unfortunate debtor from levy end sale on execution, and by driving from the door of poverty and distress, the sheriff and the constable, urged on by a closefisted, miserly and heartless creditor, that you injuriously affect the 'interests of the poor. Sir, it cannot be 'true. Do you for a moment suppose, that you would benefit the "poor and Middle classes of community" by expo sing their last article of household fur niture—their last bed—there last stove i—or their last cow—to the tender mercy Of an avaricious creditor 1 If senators entertain such an opinion, let them comply with the prayer of the petitioners, and vote for the repeal of The law of last session, together with all the exemption laws previously enacted, and they will promote the interests of the poor and middleclasses, to the heart's content of the rich. Sir, so far from sympathising with the petitioners, I would extend theexetoption law still fur ther. And, permit me to say, which I do with all confidence, that the day is not far distant when it will be carried further. The day is dawning when ev ery family will be protested in their lit tle ROME, in defiance of the bad conduct of an intemperate father, or a profligate husband. The (lay is coming, nay it is now here, when it will be conceded that the man with a comfortable, permanent' home, will much sooner pay his honest debts than he who is almost distracted Wirth impending troubles, and who is ev er at the mercy of an execution. Many of the States of this Union have led the way in this humane reform.— Maine exempts a homestead to the value of $5OO, and in the absence of a home- Stead, personal property to that amount. Vermont exempts a homestead to the val• tie of $5OO. lowa and Minesota forty acres of land or a lot. California ex empts 320 acres of land, or a lot worth $2OOO. Deseret, the proposed Mormon state, it is said secures a home to every family. All the States end territories named having acted on thili subject tvtth in the past few months. Gtorgia; Telas Michigan, Wisconsin, and Conneileut, have long since enacted liberal txernp. tion laws. New York, always among the foremost in popular referffrs, is also pressing onward in this matter. I have before me the dnnual message of Gov;• ernor Fish to the present legislature of that great State, to which beg leave to tall the attention of Senateris. On the subject of homestead exemption; the Governor says: While it is admittedly a priMary duty Of the legislature to enact laws for the punishment of vice, ft is no less its duty to remove the causes which fre quently lend to the commission of crime. The impressions made upon the youth ful mind, by the gentle forte of parental authority and example, and by the assn• elation. of the family eircle;areamotig the most active and enduring of the info- . ences which control the conduct of af ter life. Much of the vice that we are Called upon to deplore, may be traced to the early removal of Its subject froth the reach of that authority and example, and from the innocent, but the Wholesome nssociation of a home, howeier humble. The caure of morality; Co less than the dictates of humanity, demands the prei ervation of the FAMILY OIRCLE, and the Maintenance of the FAMILY HOME, as ef ficient preventives of vice, rind sure and permanent contributors to individual virtue and happiness, and to . public pros perity and order." Such, Mr. Speaker, are the views of the Governor of New York. They are the sentiments of a humane and far-see- . ing statesman—and I honor him for his Manly independence in giving them the weight and sanction of his official sta tion. Sir, I go with the governor of the Ehtpire State. I would secure to every family a HOME and a niakru. I would not peraiit the covetous and hard-heart ed credithr to diive his unfortunate debt or, naked and pentiilessi out Upon the Cold charities of an inhospitable world. The laWs that anthorice sudh a proce , .dure should be' blotted froMthipages of file statute books of every state in this Union—they are repugnant to the spirit of the age, and tevolting hihrimartity. Like the 'mita sanctioning itriprisdnment fOr debt, they should be repudiated by every philanthropic legislator—they shciald exist but in the histosy of the liast—an obsolete idea. It halt been truly said, Mr. Speaker, that he who sells out the last little prop. arty of a wife, and family of small chil dren, of a rash, heedless, or perhaps intemperate husband and father, and af terwards with a cheerful countenance, goes home to dine—goes horde TO FEAST ON HUMAN HEARTS ! Sir, money thus ob tained has a damning curse upon it ! Entertaining these views, Mr. Speak er, I cannot go with those of my constit uents who demand the repeal of the ex• emption law of last session ; nor can I believe that any considerable number of desire it. ,From the Now York Expross c) Monday, Awful Calamity STEAM BOILER BURSTED. DESTRUCTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY. Between half past seven and bight o'clock this Morning the vicinity of Cliff and Pearl street was alarmed by a explosion which convulsed the Whole neighborhood. It proceeded froth the bursting of the boiler of a steam engine of forty horse power in the Machine shop of A. I Taylor & Co., trfnunfac- Hires df steam presses and edginct:— The explosion, there is etier3 , reason to believe, was complete, the boiler Hying intd fragments, throwing the foutidations apart and bringing the whole edifice titian the heads of those employed within. The immense works of Messrs Taylor req ir• ing large fires, the mass of ruins became Immediatdly ignited and the flames tiptead at once to the buildings next door. The firemen were almost immediately on the spot, atid eninmenced work with the spirit they habitually display ; they probably never before had more painful duties to perform. In the establishrtient of Messrs. Tay lor were employed More than an hundred persons, the greater number of whom at that early hour were probably collec ted in the several shops and Workrooms. The fall of the building was so instan taneous that none, or at least Very fear of them, were able to extricate them selves, but the whole personel was. buried in the mass of timber, machienery, ect. By their own and the exertions of the by-standers, however, many were eNtri cated, without exception we learn, more or less injured. The names of the suf ferers it was nearly impossible to learn, a number being at once seized on by their friends, who had collected from all parts of the city and Brooklyn, and oth ers being so injured as to be unable to give any account of themselves, and so bruised and contused as to be almost ir recognisable by casual acpuaintances. At 10 o'clock a large number, proba bly about fifty, had been extricated. At eleven o'clock, eighteen bodies had been taken from the ruins, generally so defaced as not to be easily recognised. The boiler had just began to grow warm and the machinery had made but a few revolutions when the exploston took place. The boiler was one of Mor gan's Patent, with upright tubes, and the force of the explosion was vertical, passing through the whole of the six sto ries of the building. Most of the persons as yet extricated were employed on the second floor.— Those on the first floor are supposed to have been lost. There are innumerable reports afloat in reference to the number killed. Some rating it as high as one hundred hnd others two hundred. It is pretty Well ascertained, however, that there were near three hundred people in the Wilding-IA work at the time. It is to be hOped that there . Is some exagger ation in the case, but time only can show the extent of the damage as the fire is 'prevailing to n great extent, and the fire men are yet busy on the spot, in endeav oring to rescue their felleW crowd of persons in the neigh boring streets; Oak, Hauge; Pearl and . Cliff streets, was very pea!, Thou sands having come from ail parts of the city. Ationg these were ►many females; who were hurrying about, asking all whom they met for some father, brother or husband, supposed to be. lost. The scene was one of the most painful we have ever witnessed; and was enough to melt the most callous heart. Curious Litigation; The Charlestown (Va) Free Press of last week has the following t' Wd Venture to shy, that there is a suit, pending in the Coutt of this Coun ty, unprecedented in the amield . of ju risprudence.. About eight , years since, a highly respectable merchant left the State with the intention of attending to some business in the eastern cities, and having prolonged his visit to ' an unusu al period, and not being heerd.frOm, his friends became apprehensive that he was either sick or dead. Weeks . ; months and Yeats elapsed, and still hie myste ribus disappearance could not be explain ed. His business was carried on 1 ? - 3 , his brother fol. two or three years after his departure, and finally,' application was made to the court for letters of adminis tration .en his estate,•and they were gran ted. The adminietrator" proceeded, in the discharge of hid duty; to sell the property and collect the debts, and af ter ho had made almost a full settlement of the liabilities of the estate, he sud denly died. An administrator de bonis non was appointed, and in the course of three or four months all matters were clot - cf,• and a surplus left in his hands aftiouritlng to several thousand dollars. the court made an order that this sum be paid over to the heirs of the intestate, but before it was executed the veritable dead man MADE HIS'APPEARANCE and filed his nisserir to the proceeding. HE HAS NOW INSTITUTED SUIT AGAINST THE EXECU TOR OF His FIttST ADMINISTRATOR FOR A SETTLEMENT OF THE LATTER'S ADMINISTRA TION ACCOUNT. It is something "new un der the sun" fat a dead man to come to life. Chaplain of Congress. The Washington correspondent of the.N. Y. Tribune, takes the following notice of the Chap• lain of Congress, and a sermon preached by him on the 3d inst., Mr. GURLEY preached a plain, old fash ioned Presbyterian sermon before Con gress to-day at the capital; and after observing his inanner and listening at tentively to his argument, I felt satis fied that the choice made of a Chaplain was a discreet one. The object of his dlicourse was to ineuleate the propriety or necessity of throwing aside expedien cy in matters of clearly revealed duty, and of doing that which is right, come tvAa . t will. His text was appropriately taken from .Dtactat., relatiVe to the three Hebrews who would only worship the God of their fathers, whether they were thrown into a fiery,furnace,or hot. They had implicit faith in God that he could preserve theta whatever the danger: "But if nbt, (said they) be it. known to thee, 0 King, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden hinge Which thou hast set np. 3 ' Returned recently frorriAfrica, where he has been aiding the Colonization sys 7 tem, by whiCh he intended to raise the most barbarous people on the globe IA the social Seale, Mr. GURLEy conirastO, their wretched Condition With: that qie citizens of these United States, and . rightly ascribed to the benign influence of Christianity the ennobling, elevating character °four free institutions, and td the want of religion, the depressed con.' dition of the unhappy Africans. To the influences of Bible Christianity he un hesitatingly ascribed American liberty and our unrivalled prosperity. As Chaplain, he thanked the House for the honor it had conferred upon him, adding that when the fear and love of God had united the Representatives of the Republic, and the principle set forth the text had been adopted as the rule of action, the permanence and happiness of the Union would be thereby secured. If lie Ventured to suggest a remedy for their dissensions, it would be the laying aside their passions, so that all who turned their eyes to these Halls might be able to say, "Behold how good a thing it i, for brethern to dwell together in 'pity." The Hall df the House ot Represents attd It is a magnificent one, was filled by an tittentite thingregation, and the strife of opinions on weekdays hap pily exchanged tor harmony and con cord. 'the Chaplain is a stout, farmer looking man, probably above 40 years old, his hair is getting grey, his voice and manner are winning and persuasive, without the least tincture of servility or affectation. He seems kind, benevolent, anxious to promote peace and gotid —unassuming, unambitious. He is said to have suffered many and very severe privations, while in Africa; is poor; hits a large family; appears to be far :nore earnest about the next world than this; and neither in prayer nor sermon did he make the slightest allusion to party politics. I felt quite at home while lis tening to Mr. GURLEY. ➢Tatters hi Washiagtom Senator Houston on the Slavery Questio . tz —Expected Return of the Russian JVfin• ister. WASHINGTON.—Feb. 4 The. excitement growing out of the Slavery question is fast subsiding; and the belief is generally entertained that a embproinise will yet be effected on such' a basis as will satisfy the moderate men of all parties and sections. It is expec ted that Senator Houston will address the Senate to , Morrow, on the Slavery question: ft . is understood that he will take the ground that the constitutional right is not 'vested in Congress either to prohibit or establish slavery: He is wil hng to admit all the territories into the Union' as StateS, as, soon as they have taken the necessary, initiatory steps, leaving to the people of the territories . the settleaterit of the slitVeri qu6stion. On this basis, he Will appeal to the people of the North and South to com promise.' fit regard to Texas, he will oppose a division of her territory,' unless Texas agrees to cede a portion of her territory for a fair equivalent. will is also understood that Mr. Houston Will take this occasion to assail Mr. Calhoun; and Will endeavor to' shoW the inconsistency of his (Mr. C.'s) political course an the Various questions now agitating the country...

STORY."..-A singular, incident occured, the other day, in Berke County, which deserves a notice. The Reading papers informs us that a fellow lost his leather purse, contain ing a small amount of money in notes, in the following singular manner. Ho was loading wood on his wagon, when he observed a rabbit in the pile, which he caught. Removing a few more sticks, another mode its appearance, and , in order to secure it, he tied the hind legs of the captured one with the string of his purse,,and in fancied security, laid down the rabbit, when it started off at a fleet gallop with puree and mon ey.' The countrynian ended it fof upwards of six miles, when getting eXhausted and out of breath, he gaVe up the chise. This is a pretty tough story; but as it occurred in "Old Berke," where such things are more likely to happen than in any other place, it is no . doubt true to the letter. MR. BRNTON.—The Detroit Daily Commer. cial Bulletin has hoisted the flag of tt Thomas H . Benton, for President in 1852:' A BETTER MAN THAN HIS BROTHER.— The Philadelphia Spirit of the Times vouches nir the correctness of the fol. lowing t .

The bride, seeing this and being high spirited, showed as much independence as the lover. In the midst of the confusion Which ensued; the bridegroom's brother Stepped up to the bride and said, "Singe won't mar ry you, I'll marry you myself; if you have no objections.' , "None in the least," said the bride, "I always took you for a better man than your brother, and I am now convinced of it." The knot was at once tied, and much gratification was expressed at the finale of the atlair. AN OLD MAY.-A colored man named Chas.
