ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP FRANK•
PIIILADILPHIA, Jan. 17.
The Steamer Franklin arrived at New York
last night. She brings about 40 passengers,
among whom is Mr. Thompson, bearer of des
patches from the American legation in London.
Her freight is one of the most rich and valua
ble ever brought by a single vessel. It comprises
nearly 600 tons of French, Swiss and Continen
tal merchandise, including, generally jewelry, la
ces, silks, gloves, cottons, and woolens, exceed
ing two millions of dollars in value.
The royal mail Steamer Asia, from N. York ar
rived at Liverpool on the 6th December, at 9P.
M., having accomplished the voyage in 10 days
and 9 hours from dock to dock, being the short
est trip on record.
ENGLAND.—The glass palace in Hyde Parke,
though not quite completed ; was formally surren
dered to the royal commissioners on the Ist of
January. Thousands of persons flocked together
to see it, and pronounced it to be the most won
derful structure ever beheld.
The arrangements for the great exhibition were
actively prosecuted. Amongst the articles from
India is a pearl robe, valued at about 7000 dol
lars, and a gold mounted saddle, set with precious
stones, the property of the late Bunjeed Singh,
valued at shout 6000 pounds. Ali Moored has
contributed most magnificently toward the exhi
bition, in embroidered workmanship of quilts, en
smelled swords, &e.
FRANCE.—Everything is profoundly quiet in
France. Paris is gayer than ever known. The
assembly is occupied with unimportant matters
and with petty qarrels between the members.
Irm.v.—The news from the Austrian provin
ces in Italy, is also far from favorable. Conspir
acies hut been discovered and numerous arrests
were made. Powder and hall and the hangman's
rope, are committing fearful ravages in Lombar
dy and Venice.
SPAIN.-Advices from Madrid to the 17th otl
December are received. It is reported that Queen
Isabela is again in a condition which promises an
heir to the crown.
Arrival of the Asia.
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.
The Royal mail steamer Asia arrived at 10
o'clock last night. She brings Liverpool dates
to the 4th January, four days later than the
Franklin.
The political news generally possess no• special
interest beyond what you have bad by previous
arrivals.
LIVERPOOL MARKET.
LIVERPOOL.-The Cotton Market presents no
change from the accounts by the Franklin.
Trade generally has been quiet and the value
of most articles has been stationary.
BREADSTUFFIL-There is no change in Flour
or Grain—previous prices are maintained, but
not firmly.
Puovisoxs.—Tho sales are not large and prices
unchanged.
The Money market remains in the same condi
tion. Silver has again further advanced in value,
and is in active demand.
There is nothing said in the Asia's news about
the American Steamer Atlantic, and the presump
tion is that she sailed on the day advertised. 1r
any accident had befallen her it was not known
when the Asia sailed.
A HUNDRED YEARS Aoo.—A hundred years
ago a stupid German monarch reigned over these
United States—then colonies of Great Britain—
and on the whole earth, with the exception of
Switzerland, there was not a single republic of
any pretensions. A hundred years ago the
French lilies floated over Queloc, Pittsburg, and
New Orleans. A hundreed years ago Poland was
still a nation. A hundred years ago the old
French monarchy existed—the Dawdle reared its
accursed towers—and Louis the Fifteenth dallied
with infamous wantons, squandered his subjects'
money, and blasphemed in his own person the
name of man. • • • Fifty years ago the
name of Napoleon was still comparitiv.ge,
for Marengo, Austerlitz, Wagram, an on.
had not been fought. Fifty years ago cotton mills
had, as it were, just been invented ; and railroads,
locomotives, and magnetic telegraphs, were prac
tically unknown. Fifty years ago there were
scarcely five millions of people in the United
States, and Ohio was almost as much of a wil
demons as Oregon is now. Fifty years ago
Washington had just died, Jefferson was still liv
ing, Clay, Webster, and Calhoun, were names as
yet unknown to fame.
The Supreme Court on Slavery.
The Washington Union publishes the substance
of the decision by the Supreme Court of the U.
States in a case instituted in one of the Kentucky
coons, at Louisville, to recover the value of three
slaves, alleged to have been taken away by a
steamhrJat from the owner, lining in Kentucky.—
The two points of defence noticed by the Court
were :
let. That the ordinance of 1787, establishing a
government for the Northwestern Territory, so
far prohibited the existence of slavery, as to fur
niih a defence in the case; 2nd, that if these ne
grys wore slaves before, their owner had, in fact,
liberated them by sending them voluntarily into
Oltio to perform as musicians, and could not sue
for their recovery, or fur their value.
The Court below decided in favor of the plain
tiff, and the Supreme Court sustained the decis
ion. The Court held that the ordinance of 1787
was repealed by the adoption of the Federal Con
stitution, anti ceased to he in force from that
event; so far as it was changed thereby ; and, fur
ther, it held that the question of slavery, and the
rights respectively of the owner and the slaves,
was properly cognizable• by the State Court of
Kentucky, under her laws, and that it would not
review or disturb its decision. Three of the
Judges dissented, but only on the ground that the
ordinance of 1787 was not repealed by the adop
that of the Constitution so absolutely as the Chief,
Justice in his opinion had declared. On the sub
ject of slavery and the regulation thereof, none of
them expressed any dissatisfaction with the views
of the majority of the Court. The opinion itself
is a very clear, concise and able examination of
the subject involved, and will probably give gene
ral eathiatetion to the her awl the censors,
Judicial Apportionment MIL
In the Senate, on Thursday, General Packer in
troduced a bill in place, making a Judicial appor
tionment, dividing the State into twenty Districts,
instead of twenty-four as at present. It makes
Berke and Lehigh the 4th district, and is entitled

the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, shall be
$2,200 and the salaries of the associate Justices of
the said court shall be $2,000, and the said judges
shall also be entitled to receive in addition to their
respective salaries, $3 per day whilst on the

their respective places of residence, as a full al
low.ce for travelling expenses.
Section 3d, provides that the salaries of Presi

all other judges required to be learned in the law
shall be $2,000 per annum, except those for the
judges holding courts in the city and county of
Philadelphia, and the county of Allegheny, which
shall be $2,500 per annum.
Tide is a very important bill—in fact the bill of
the session. It was laid upon the table and order
ed to be printed.
A War Balloon.
A memorial has been presented to the SenatC'of
the United States, from John Wise, the Balloon
man, of Lancaster setting forth that he has brought
the science of ballooning to such perfection as to
make it useful in the transportation of mails, and
also in the time of war, an engine of destruction.
He proposes to construct a balloon capable of rai
sing twenty tons, and raise it over the capitol,
ahove gun shot, and discharge imitative missiles,
to show its capacity in the destruction of an ene
my's fort or army. He asks Congress to appro
priate twenty thousand dollars to enable him to
make e,perhnents. The memorial was referred to
the Committee on Naval Affairs, which is probably
the last we shall ever hear of it.
Tom CORWIN •ND THE Box TICKET.-WC
have just heard a good story of Tom Corwin
which we think is worthy of being placed upon
record. It is known that the complexion of the
Secretary, is anything hut the whitest, which cir
cumstance has placed him in a rather awkward
predicament on several occasions, or at all events
given rise to numerous good jokes and stories.
The truth of the following, however, is " vouch
ed for :"
Tom being in Cincinnati some time last sum
mer, took a notion to go one evening to the Thea
tre, and invited a cortaip member of Congless
from Illinois, about as white us himself, to accom
pany him. Stepping up to the " Captain's Office ;"
"Two Box Tickets, if you please, sir," said the
wagon boy. "We don't admit colored people in
the Boxes," replied the Ticket man, with a look
of severe indignation at the presumption of the
darkies ! A disclosure, however, of the Secreta
ry's name, by a gentleman present, brought forth
both an apology and the " Tickets," and the col
ored gem'men were permitted to go into the "Box."
[Commonwealth.
Forgiveness.
My heart was heavy, for its trust had been
abused, its kindness answered by foul wrong, so
turning gloomily from my fellow men one Sabbath
day, I strolled along the mounds of the village
burial place. Here I was reminded bow all hu
man love and hate find one sad level, and how,
sooner or later, the wronged and the wrong doer,
each with a changed face and cold hands, folded
over a still heart, pass the green threshold of a
common grave, whither all footsteps tend—whence
none depart. Awed for myself, and pitying my
race, one common sorrow, like a mighty wave,
swept all my pride away, and trembling I forgive.

STEAMBOAT DISASTERS ON THE WESTERN
Waters.—The annual statement of the Marine
Disasters on the waters of the South and West.
shows that during the year 1850, there were 53
vessels totally lost, of which 33 were sunk, 14
hunted, and 6 destroyed by explosion. The num
ber of accidents was 117. The number of per
sons killed was tautly seven hundred, and probably
half that number were wounded. The amount of
capital destroyed from these accidents exceeds one

befel the steamers Griffith, Belle of the West,
Anthony, Wayne, Antoinette, Douglass, Knox
ville, and the Anglo-Norman. The number of
lives lost by these six disasters was nearly four
hominid eel flfty.

LANCASTER BANK COUNTERFEIT.-A counter..
terfeit 5 Relief issue, on the Lancaster Bunk, is
in circulation. The following description of it
we find in Thompson's Bank Note Reporter: "ss,
good imitation of genuine relief notes—vignette
State House with figure 5 on a medallion head
each side of it—medallion head and three figure
s's on each end—some of the letters of Lancas
ter' touch the medallion on the left of the vig
nette—not so in the genuine." This is a danger
ous counterfeit—look out for it.
DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.—A new and dan
gerous counterfeit upon the Notes of the Harris
burg Bank, has just been detected, It is describ
ed as follows :-s's, re-issue, relief, letter A.
These notes arc most admirably done, and are
exceedingly difficult to detect. Appear to be a
very tine lithograph. The delicate lines that are
so distinct on the medallions of the genuine, are
in the counterfeit irregular, thick, and the spaces
between nearly filled up with ink instead of being
open. The centre vignette is almost without a
defect. The margins are not so perfect. The
letters in the word " Clerk" are not of the same
size as in the genuine. The " Co" in " Dan
forth. Underwood & Co., New York" joins "New
York ;" in the good note there is considerable
I space between the words.
