MONDAY AFTERNOON, ' January 18,1836. Committee met in the House of Repre sentatives, the Supreme Court room having been found too small to accommodate the crowd of visitors. The Committee having come to order,the names in tiesebecenss were called. , Joserit R. CHANDLER was called to the desk, and he requested that the - oath might be read to hitu. This was done; and lie then °asked that it might bo reduced to writing. This also was done; and he then drew out and read a protest, and was permitted to re tire for the present. Smarm, M. STEWART was next called, and also read a protest, and refused to be sworn. The chairman told the witness that he noticed by the subpmna, that ho was di. rected to produce the books and papers of the lodge, and asked him if he had complied witlohat part of the subpoena? The witness replied, that he had not: said ho was Secre tary of the Grand Lodge, and withdrew. CHARLES I..3NYDER was next called—read a protest, and retired. SAMUEL H. PERKINS was next called— refused to lake the oath, and read a protest. The. Chairman mentioned to the .witness that he had been directed by subptena to .produca the books and papers of the lodge. Had he done so? He had not. Mr. Perkins requested a copy of the oath, which was handed him by the committee. WiLtatem STEVENS was next called, and wished to know what he was requested to swear. The Chairman replied, "You are asked to swear to the truth." Witness ask ed a copy of the oath; and when asked why he wished it? he said, because it had been given to Mr. Perkins. The copy was de nied-i-on the ground that the witness was perfectly familiar with the general form of :oath in court, and this was similar and the same, except that it referred to the evils of Free-Masonry. ; Chairman. Have you brought the books , and papers of the Grand Lodge? Witness. I have uot. There is a cart load or them. • ',Chairman.

WILLIAM TrSpRoLE was called and asked to hear the oath, which was re peated to him, when he declined taking the oath and cou►►ner►ced reading a protest.— Having come to a portion of it where he said "if they (the committee) were for forming a modern juggernaut, roll on:" He was in terrupted by ►.he chairn►an, who told him they could not , listen to such language, and requested him to sit down. Witness. I beg leave to explain to the committee. Chairman. Not one word, sir. SAMUEL C. BONVM was next called, and informed that the committee required him to take the oath. lie declined, and ofibred to road a protest, which the committee ro• fused to listen to, but received it, and it was filed among others. JACOB EM MET was next called, and de clined taking the oath. JosErn S. Sit.vnii was next called, and declined taking the oath, and stated that he considered. himself protected by the consti tution. ALLEN WARD was next called, and was asked if he would take the oath. Lie de; clined, and said he would state his reasons lithe committee would allow him. Leave was granted, and he then said he could not trust to his' memory. His memory he fear ed might fail him, and he did not know what ho would be asked. The chairman staled to the witness, that in the oath, the "evidence which he should give would be the truth, the wholejruth,and [Mating but the truth." He was bound to tell nothing which I►e did not distinctly re, collect, and that such evidence meant legal evidence. Jenny question should be asked a witness which he was by law privileged from answering, either on account of its criuninating himself, or for other reasoas,he could, notwithstanding such oath, then ob jeet to answering such question and claim his . privilege. The witness still persisted in his, refusal to be sworn, and stated that the institution of Free Masonry was charity, and that he had never seen any harm growing out of it, nor had he ever seen any thing political a bout it. The Chairman remarked. "Perhaps you had better swear to that," but the witness still refused even to be sworn to whakhe had ust stated. . COL. SAILVEL RING WALT was next called, and asked «W ill you take the oath?" Witness. No sir. Chairman. You can retire. Witness handed a protest to the secrete. ry, and retired. MAJOR JOHN M'L_ArouLtri being called, was asked will you tnke the oath? Answer. No, sir. Handed a protest and retired., TitomAs M'CluA:rn was asked the same question, and gave the same answer. RO/flair RICHARDSON told the chairman that he had not been called, and ho was then requested to come forward. Ho declined taking the oath, and was about offering some impertinent Komarks, when he was ordered to silence by-the chairman, and withdrew. Adjourned. SATURDAY, January 23, 1830. The chairman stated to the committee that the question of punishing the refusing witnesses had already been before the House, and those witnesses bad been discharged.— It was a question worthy the consideration of the committee, whether they should pro. coed in the investigation, and sit there aid subject themselves to further contempt, when• it was well known the committee would not be . sustained. For his part,, he did not wish to attempt any thing that would not be sustained by the House. He would ask the committee whether the investigation shall' be gone further into, or left to the fu ture action of the people of the state. Mr. Spackman was desirous for the inns. tigation to go on. Mr. Cox was not able at present to decide, and suggested that the committee had better adjourn till Monday. • The chairman stated that in all probabili ty the witnesses now present would place themselves in the same situation as others ad already. It would hardly be justice to le witnesses now present, to detain them, after the action of the House had been had on the cases of others. They, if they testi fied, would be placed and considered ao vol untary or perjured witnesses, and would be subjected to the vilification and perhaps per secution of others. He did not fear but the people would determine what course is due to support, their petitions. So far as volun tary testimony can go, the necessity of in vestigating-and abolishing the lodge, had already been determined. Its oaths,its prac tices, its application to the government, had been already determined, and it seemed to him, bettor not to go on—not to hold out ap pearances, when evils have been concealed; and not to make the people believe the evils had been investigated. When different gentlemen come forward in bland or rude mannei,and say they , won't obey the laws, the rude -man is the 'nest ex cusable, for ho ,can plead ignorance; He did not feel disposed . to sit hero to be thrown further into contempt. Ho had an insuper able objection to 'being made the object of legal scorn.. After some further discussion, the com mittee adjourned to meet again at ,3 o'clock, P. M. on Thursday next.

If so,cif hew many degrees, and in what state, and when were you.made a mason? 2nd. Have you read Barnard's Light on Masonry? If yea, is it substant;ally correct us far as von have gone? 3d.

Stsitefully all you know on that subject.- 4th. Have you ever been called on by masons to vote for a mason, because ho was a mason? State fully the conversation tivo to the subject between you and ,any of your masonic brethren. 5111. Have you ever known crime con• coaled under the masonic obligat ionl I fyea, state what the crime Was, in what state committed, and whether it was thus con cealed under the full conviction that the masonic obligations required such conceal ment. 6th. Have you ever known any attempt by masons to procure undue advantage in judicial proceedings through masonry. 7th. Who was the master of the lodge who communicated the 'Morgan i nte lli gence and at what place, and in what lodge was it given? To the first question, I answer— 1 was made a mason in the state of Penn sylvania, and have taken four degrees; I was made a mason in Chester county, in Lodge, No. 75. 2d Question. 1 have read Barnard - ''a Light on Masonry, and as far as I have gone it is substantially correct. 3d Question. In 1827 or 1823, the Worshipful Master of the lodge of which I was a member, communicated, as Worship. ful Muster of the lodge, to the brethron,that he had just returned from the Niagara fron tiers; that he had become acquainted with distinguished inaSons at Rochester and other places, who informed him masonically, that Win. Morgan was dead; that.he was put to death by masons, becau4e lie was about to reveal the secrets of Masonry. The Wor shipful Master added, that he communicated this as a masonic , secret,and that the'breth reit should conduct themselves accordingly. 4th Question. Masons have called on me as a mason to vote for a brother roason,which I refused to do, observing at the samd time, that my masonic obligation did not bind mo to vote for a mason; to which they replied that I was only a Master Masou,and my obli gation did not bind me to vote Tor a brother mason, but the spirit of the obligation was to prefer them. sth Question. I have known the crime of forgery, committed in the state of Penn sylvania, concealed under tho masonic obli gation. - I have been requested by a mason to si as an arbitrator between him and an.inda vidual who was not a mason, with a requos that I would favour him as a mason. I have known masons who tried to procure masons as arbitrators, assigning as a reason that they expected to be favoured. I have known a mason to complain that a brother mason who wai, an arbitrator, did not favour him enough. The Worshipful Master of the lodge who communicated the death of Wm. Morgan to the lodge, was Dr. David Rutter, of Law rence Lodge, No. 171, Pousgrove, Penn- sylvania. On being asked when ho quit attending, the lodge, witness answered: That he has never attended a lodge since he }lewd the circumstance of the death of W m. Morgan, detailed as above stated. In answer to a question from Mr. Huston, witness said: a mason has inTormed him that he had .refrained from seducing:a brother Mason's daughter, on account of his masonic obligations. ROBERT MAY.

Charms may strike the sense,but merit wins tho soul. Iv was remarked, with no loss sagacity than wit, by a certain writor (Thomas Bradbury, WI mistake not,) that thoro are some members an community, that aro like a crumb in the throat: if they go the . right way, they affind but little . nourishment; but if thoy happen to go the wrong way, they cause a great deal of troublo, • WohisN, when good, and amiable, and virtuous, may ho styled a ministering spirit, imparting joy and happiness wherever she goes; but when dosti. tote of thoso qualities, a fiond, "A monster ofso frightful 'mien, As to be hated, needs but to be seen." Whilst I rogard, with all duo respect and consid eration, ladies of worth, there is a class of females, in almost ovary community, whom I do heartily despise—l Mean those, who are usually called, in common parlance, CoQuzrrEs; and I wish it to be distinctly understood,that it is chiefly to this class roference is had in the succeeding remarks. It is always painful to the philanthropist to an. imadvort on the follies and imboailities of human naturo. Nor should any one attompt to oxPoao those follies and weaknossos in any of the humus kind, unrestrained by moral principle, and unit]. fleoncod by the process of calm and dispassicMato refection. But when l 800 the dread colamitY, the unavoidable ruin to which a certain innate, do3p•rooted propensity of our morally depraved nature, impels many who have not acquired that pormanenee of character, ,that exemption from youthful caprice and fluctuation, that fisednoss of principlo and purpose, which constitute the surest palladium to the security of the juvenile heart,--, I demi it a duty which cap not be laid asido with out compunction of conscience, to raise the voice of alarm and to apprise the apparently secure youth valuta the assaults of an enemy, whose blandishments arc the most captivating and seduc tive), and' whoso attacks are, generally, the most ruinous and successful. • - You 'may bo wondering what this direful mon ster can be t that has crept into society, and is do ing so much mischief among these,whoonore par ticularlY.,'are nib hope of the country, of literature and science, end of the Church. , You pause with tromulonsenxiety,witli'distondod oars,(as it wore,) and•lifis 'ready to catch the name of this already execrated being, thii enemy to the calm repose and internal quietude Gf the h'utnan family. %Yell. have pationce, and I will toll you: It is' that almost inexplicatild hind of reeling, that accelerated pal- Filiation of tbe hoart,—or, rather let me say, it is that epidemic, which some have boon pleased to doeutninate LOVE. Ab!! is this the little wretch whence such dreadful consequences aro to be ap prehonded/—Silly—nonsense! You are, perhaps, disposed to laugh at such old woman-like mistrust. Well, if you feel so dis posed,ifthere is any thing excitatory of your riss blo functions,—givo vent to your pent-up feelings, and satisfy your titillation by that contraction of the sphincter muscles about lips, and that contor tion of the human countenance, which men call laughter. But take care, Oyoung man, that you be not the one,who shall oxporienco,in all the poig. nancy of disappointment and remorse of solf-deso cration; its degrading, demoralizing and destruo five influence. Take care lest you yet, be led-to execrate the charm, you now hug •with such on- I thusiastic fondness, after it has cankered your tender and susceptible heart. I wish I could say, that I have never witnessed the exemplification of this fact; but the present is emphatically an age of wonders—an age in which some strange feats aro performed, and in which the boax.has attained to its perfection: and, to use the language of another, "the ...world is so full of fools, that he who does not wish to see one must -not only shut himself up, but must not look into his glass!" Yos! there are some strange adven tures made now-a-days in the fairy regions of Hy men. The wily son of Venus is darting his arrows in almost every direction. ❑e turns Mechanics out of business; and as for books, ho makes thorn quite .crazy,—and Students /10 causes to run frantic! Oh! for the genius and descriptive powers of Ovid to do justice to the mighty theme!!—Hail! all-glorious, sublimated Love! thee, thee, would we celebrate with a rapturous song, and him who daily enkindles his devotion at tho vestal flame which continually burns on thy consecrated altar! —him—him !--- "What piteous sobs, Rs if his henrt would break, Shake his swola cheek!!"--- Having had tho honor of rubbing my back a gainst College walls, I can say, as the result of my experience and observation, that Students (so. called, not real students) are particularly obnox ious to this base passion—l do not inane base in itself, but when carried to excess. This may be owing, in some measure, to tho fact that they aro (generally) removed from under the inspection of parents and from those restraints which the pres ence of fi kinds and kindred necessarily inspires; and, therefore, they seem to think themselves more at liberty to indulge the propensities of a vi tiated nature. How many a noble youth, the darling of his mother and the pride and hope of his father, has fallen a victim to this epidemic, and immolated his life at the shrine of Cupid! How many a pro mising youth is initiated into College under the most favorable presages and with the most flatter ing prospects before him,—whoßo peculiar and perhaps extraordinary talents elicit, not only the tenderest regards of his parents and friends, but oven our civil rulers and the friends of literature acid science look to the impenetrable future, with especial interest and with the most brilliant antici liations; that he will become an ornament and eafo-guard to his country and a fosterer of sound learning, who unfortunately enters the giddy cir. chi of female society, becomes contaminated by the spurious atmosphere, and entrapped by the well arranged and curiously wrought snares of Cupid! And what is the consequence? Why, all his prospects vanish like the verrnilionod margin of the west,at the sitting sun; and in place of be coming an honor to his relations and an orna ment to his country, ho becomes a disgrace to his family and a nuisance to society! Those things may perhaps appear to some alto gether chimerical,the result only of a wrought up, fanciful and vivid imagination,and that tho picture is altogether without an original. But let me re. for all who may entertain such apprehensions to experience—not to the experience of others—but to their own. I have soon with my own eyes, (and I had almost said, felt with my own heart,) the gradual process by which this 'serpent coils a round the youthful heart, and deposits its fatal poison. It is not the effect of the moment, but it is gradual. True, it is, she is unfitted by nature fur the rude and boisterous occupations of life— yet, there is a potency in Woman's smile—an in centive in her approbation—which must over ren der her a powerful auxiliary in any cause sho may espouse, whether good or bad. A single glance from her twinkling oyo of cunning, is Ruin ciont to infuse into the bosom ofan unwary youth the inextinguishable spark that fires the soul of the impassioned lover. What she can not accom plish by physical strength, she will by suavity of manners, sweet looks, or, in some other way be fore unthought of. The young student, perhaps, with the most commendable motives, enters this class ofsociety, without the least suspicion. Possibly lie is pretty woll pleased with his first visit. After a short time has elapsed, he receives a card, requesting his attendance at a party to be given by Mr. --. With no little excitement of feeling ho commences the prerequisite adjustment of his habiliments,and endeavors to appear to the best possible advantage. Ho proceeds on his way with feelings entirely di f. forent from any lie over had Wore: ho, at length, arravos at the mansion, whieli,frum attendant cir. cuwstancos, he takes to be the place of mirth-- After tho usual application of the knocker, and the rosponso—"como in, Sir"—ho walks in; and, having gone through the customary ceremony, ho takes his seat. Ho commences an affable conver. Ration, in the usual manner, with some remarks about the state or the weather, sumo recent mar riage, etc. etc., and scarcely has he broached the subject of general courtship, when he is intorrap. ted by the entrance of females—ladies, I mean. I hope they will pardon this 'apple pennae, as I wish to bo courteous. Well, here in a few me- Monts, he is surrounded by a host of ladies, all ar rayed in the most fascinating manner; whose faces are so very beautiful, (of course, having been pre viously taken through tho regular process,) that, without much fancy, ono might readily conclude, they had been cast in the same mould with that of Venus; and whose symmotricdl form would lose nothing by a contrast with that of Hebe; and in whose characters grace and beauty aro compo nent parts. In a word,thoy possess the beauty of Latoria—all the grace of Venus, and prance and flirt about with all the winning "airs end evolu tions of , a Bignorma." Each declares that "She cannot lore, • Noitake no shape nor project of affection. I never yet saw man, . Flow wise, how noble, young, how rarely fcatur'd, Ilutslie would spell him backward: if fair faced, She'd swear the gentleman should be her sister; If black, why nature in drawing uu antic, Made a foul blot: if tall, ' a lance ill headed; , If low, an agate very vilely ent: If speaking, why a vane blown with all wind; If silent, a block moved with none. So turns she every man the wrong side out." And now the expressions of countenance, the graceful movements, the alluring gesticulations, all combine to awaken in the youthful beholder the passicin of Love, which has hitherto been dor. mint. And it may be, like Don Juan and Jul , a, us described in Byron, they come in near approxi. mation; and whilst the unsuspecting youth is re plying to their multifarious interrogatories, um. engaged in a long tote.a tete; one (quiteinciden tally, no doubt!) mistakes his hand for her own, and clasps it within hors! Tho captive youth,nuw hea:ing a deep sigh, exciaims—"Oh, love, how perfect is thy mystic art!" lie now, for the first time, finds hiaisolfdeoply initiated into the mysteries of love; but all his ef. forts to disentangle hiinselfprovo utterly abortive: he is bound by a lie that defies his utmost oxor Lions—a tie mute indissoluble than death itself. And, perhaps, the poor dupe is disposed to attri bute his misfortune to lunar influence, and say (as other fools have done,)— "It is the very error of the moon. She comes more near the earth titan she was wont, And makes men mad!" notice wo hear of"ill-starred'and"moometruck" persons—"moon calves," etc. etc. Suffice it to say, in this predicament Ito retires to his room,ut• torly disqualified, not only for any moral or roll. gious duty, but fur study, ur any other mental ex. erciso. Ho throws himself on his bed,—and,like tho "giddy hair.brained eccentricities" of sumo romantic boy, ho rolls and tosses through the livo long night upon his sleepless pillow! And what is the consoquonco of this miserable, abominable pu sillanimity? Ho neglects his studios, exponds his money, and,abovo all,squandors away his precious time; and when he issues from the College walls, lie is just like some now modern books, coining from the press—having a handsome exterior— the mochanical part elegantly executed; but with contents ton times worse than nothing; or, as Slinkspear would say—"tales told by idiots, full of *sound and fury, signifying nothing." Ho orators upon the arena of active life, and for "lack of knowledge," brings disgrace upon himself, his Lien& and his country! In conclusion—"llene facit,qui ex aliorum erro. ribus sibi exemplum smut:" So says Horace, and so say I. \Vhilo I am far from supposing, that tho best way to preparo young men to adorn and dignify the human character, is by entire seclusion from fointtlo company, I would suggest to those gentle. moo, who frequent such society as I have attempt. ad (in my poor way) to describe, whetter they might not employ their time and talents more profitably. To thorn I would say, as you know the influence of fornalo charms upon the tender and susceptible heart of youth, go not within the roach oilier attractions; for if you do,—liko the matter coming within the precincts of the whirl. pool, is irresistibly drawn and buried in its vortex; so will you be drawn from the path of duty into infamy and disgrace: or, as insects are caught and destroyed in the diode:ono muocipula, or Ve nus's fly-trap; so will you be entrapped before you are aware that you are in jeopardy. Pardon the simile! Remember, too, that you wore created to subservo nobler purposes. Bo manly; condo. scend not to such low, trivial, enervating enjoy ments. Isot them be for those whose littleness and contractednoss of mind, render them unfit for the enjoyment of pleasures more noble and more consistent with the dignity of an immortal spirit. Remember that "Honor and shamo from no con dition rise: act wall your part—there all the hon or lies!" Then let your motto be that contained in Pope— " Unblemished let me live, or die unknown, Oh, grant au honest fame, or grant me none!" And without Insinuating that there is any want of intelligonco on the part of the fair ladies of our Borough; and whilst I feel that female character is a delicate subject to handle, and regard him who would wantonly and willfully injure tho repo. tation of an intelligent and virtuous lady, as an enemy to his raco and worthy to bo discarded from Society,—l would bog leave to suggest, as Count Shuckson would say, "in the most delicate manner in the world," whothor some of their minds, at least, aro not oven yet susceptible of itn. provement—whether some benefit might not yet accrue to them from the perusal of p•opor books —not Novels and Romancos, such as many ladles road—but books made of "sterner stuff" A beautiful fac6 or symmetrical form is of little me. mont; but lot it be remembered, that without ac quisitions of the mind and virtues of tho heart— that without some amiable and commendable qualities in the object beloved, there can be no last. ing admiration. Trusting that those hints will be received by those whom they concern, in the sa►no friendly spirit in which they have boon penned, permit mo to subscribe myself a friend to the universal ele vation and improvement of scciety. .

The Bulletin says: '"l'hese Indians are not chained, as was reported, but are quite at large. They do not appear to be destitute of the proper clothing,and are without arms. ,We noticed among the group some fine looking warriors, who with their well chiSelled frames,strong.: ly developed muscles, dark hair, hazel eyes, high cheek-booes,and noses that would rival the Greek, in precision of outline, Showed a combination of manly beauty and 'strength, that we have rarely seen surpassed by the pale faces.

I can only say, that I have done well enough without them." BATTLE OF BUNKER-HILL,-T ho' follow ing anecdote of General POMEROY, of North ampton, Massachusetts, is from the address delivered at Charlestown, on the 17th of June, by ALEXANDER H. EVERETT, Esq-: "The veteran Pomeroy, to whom I have already particularly adverted, and , who at this time held no commission in the' lino, when he heard the pealing artillery, felt it as a summons to action, and could not resist the inclination to repair to the field. He accordingly requested General . Ward to lend him a horse, and, taking his musket, set off at full speed for Charlestown. On reaching the neck and finding it enfiladed by a hot and heavy fire of round, bar, and chain shot from the British batteries, he began to be alarmed; not, fellow.citizens, as you may well suppose, for his own safety, but for that of General Ward's horse! Horses, fellow citizens, as I have already remarked, were at this time almost as rare and precious as the noble animals that rode them. Too honest to expose his borrowed horse to the "pelting of this pitiless storm," and too bold to dream for a moment of shrinking from it himself, the conqueror of Baron Dieskau dismounted, and,delivering General Ward's horse to a sentry, shouldered his musket, and marched very coolly on foot across the neck. On reaching the hill, he took his place at the rail fence. His person was known to the soldiers, and the name of 'Po meroy rang with enthusiastic shouts along the line." Atlas Office, Boston, Saturday, 1 o'clock. The brig Caroline arrived at this portlasi evening,, -from Gibraltar, whence she sailed on the 21st of June. We have the Gibral tar Chronicle of that date, which contains accounts from Madrid to the 19th and Lisboa to the 11th June. The bloody character of the contest going on in Spain is.appalling. The JJrabado, a half literary, half political journal of Madrid, states that since the commencement of the war in 1833, to the first of April, 1836, there have been. killed .on the field of battle 280,- 535 Carlists, and 54,463 taken prisoners. During this period, it says there have been 516 battles, in which the Carlists have been 303 times completely routed, and 243 times partially ,defeated. The Queen's army has been defeated' 80 times,, in which it has had 157,74 killed, 39,018 taken prisoners, and lost 41,722 deserters. The Madrid Patriota ofthe 12th, says it was reported in that city that the Carlists, were preparing for a fresh attack on Gen. Evans' lines at St Sebastion. The Madrid Gazettes contain despatcheli from the Queen's troops in Catalonia, which speak of advantages obtained over the rebels in that province. A letter from Saragossa of the 11th, says that two flays before, the lenders, Torres and Mombila had been shot. The Liberal is decidedly of opinion that the circumstance of France being a party to the quadruple alliance, has proved highly injurious to .Spain.. If the latter .had not relied-upon the Carlis's, being prevented from.receiving throUgh the frontierof the former, those supplies, which hay.o enabled them to organize themselves and acquire their present strength,she would have adopt ed other measurestoprovent itherself; and the consequence would have, been; that, deprived of the abundant means so scandal ously introduced through frarice,t hey ; would have lost ell confidence, and their annihila, tion effected months ago. . , Marshal Vi g o had been.appointed ter . of War, and, arrived at Madrid. on the 13th.

The vote was ayes 88, noes 139. Advices from Madrid are to the 16th of June, but there is no news of importance.— Gen. EVANS is said to be'growing disconten• ted,and thinks he is not treated with sufficient consideration by the Queen's• Government. Sundry skirmishes had taken place between small parties of the Carlists and the Chris tines, with no very momentous results. The Carlists are said-to be sufPring from the want of the means of subsistence,and - dissen. Bien is represented to exist to an alarming extent in the councils of the pretender! Gen. &me had resigned the chief - command and been succeeded, ad interim, by Gcn. VIL LAREAL. The Main body of the Carlists was still before St. Sebastian. There is nothing of importance from France.

The Emperor of Morocco had made ex• planations to the French Government, res• pecting the alleged assistance of the Arabs at Algiers, but the explanations are said not to have been satisfactory, and naval prepa rations for the Mediterranean were still ac tive at Toulon. The proposition of the chancellor of the exchequer, that a duty of one penny be laid on all newspapers, subject to future regula tion by act of parliament regarding the size of the sheet, was agreed to in committee of the whole on the 20th, by a majority of 33. The aged king of Prussia is represented to be fast dechning to the tomb. In the French chamber of deputies it has been determined to issue no more licences to gambling houses after the present year. Advices from Constantinople to the 27th of May, state that lord Ponsonby's demand of satisfaction fur the outrage committed on Mr. Churchill, had not yet been complied with. The reis effendi had offered to resign, but would not express regret for what was done. This affair is said to have caused some hard words between lord Durham and the Russian government at St. Petersburgh. We find no mention in these papers of the reported intention to marry the princess Victoria. Sir Robert Pool was called as one of the jury on Lord Melbourne's trial, but did not appear. From tho Baltimore Patriot, August 1 Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company. The National Intelligences ofthis morning contains in extenso the proceedings of the stockholders in the above company, at the meeting on Thursday last, which resulted in' the acceptance or the late Internal Improve merit Law of Maryland. In reference to the subject, that paper remarks: "The assent of the. Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company and of th 9 Canal Com pany being now given to 'that act; its pro visions become operative this day, and will furnish to each company- three millions of dollars. The completion of the Canal to Cumberland is thus secured; and whatever objections may have been entertained by some of our citizens to the terms of the Maryland act, we hope that the great good which will flow from it to the community, in the extension of the Canal, will prove sufficient to reconcile all cenflfcting Opiniono on the subject." GEN. GAINES ACROSS THE SADINE.—The accounts of Gen. Gaines having crossed the Sabine, into Texas, are confirmed. It is stated that he had been engage'd for several days in forwarding provisions and military stores, previous to passing the river, after which he marched directly on Nacogdoches, having previously called out the troops in garrison at Forts Towson - and:Gibson, with directions to join him as soon as possible.

KrA Masonic paper in disguise, printed at Harrisburg, get up to distract the Anti- Masonic party and break down the Tole. graph, , pours out its usual filth upon the "Star" and the Anti-Masons of Adams coun ty, because they will not surrender their principles to Whig Harrison Masonry! We are glad that the "Pirate" vilifies us. Save us from its approbation! It is mainly Edited by Strong, and a fellow. named Krause, a Whig Mason, who by deceiving the Anti- Masons by a shilly-wally renunciation,crept into their party to divide and destroy them; and induced them to elect him to the last Legislature, where he never uttered a word in favor of their principles! Ho and his gang talk of supporting the Administration!— Their whole scheme is to break down our present worthy and popular Governor, by destroying the principles which brought him into power. The "Pirate" says we "write bitter things against the Administration." Against whom do we write "bitter things?" Against the State Treasurer, for appointing rebellious Masons.to office; and against James Todd, for mingling with Whig Masonry to over throw our party? YES--and we Shall write "bitter things" of them, until they turn po litically honest and act Anti-Masouically. KrThe "Pirate" states,- that . "Gen. Harrison is not an exclusive Anti-Mason-- a harem-scaram wild crazy fanatic," et cet era. Here is a Eulo g y upon Anti-Mason ry for you, by a Harrison Anti-Masonic (!) paper! It is of the same vein with Todd's sneer at "pure'Anti-.Masonry." But why do we notice this profligate press!—We have done with it. THESE . THAVGS SHOULD MOT BE. 0::'.7 -We perceive, with regret, that many of our; Editorial brethren, both to this and other States, are indulging in a bitterness of feeling and remark towards each other, which must long interrupt the harmony of l their social intercourse and political action. This should not be ,among political Anti. Masons,who require mutual aid and forbear. ance from each other, beset as they are and will be by the eternal hostility and ven geance of the two Masonic 77 the Van Buren and Whig—parties combined. These remarks are particularly suggested by observing the . course pursued towards each other by those excellent Journals, and their highly respectable Editors, the Pius. burgh "Times" and "Gazette," as well as the Boston "Advocate," "North Star," Mid. dlebury "Free Press," "State Journal" and other free papers. Each accuses the other of treachery, and calls their Editors traitors for differing from them in the policy which they deem prudent to adopt at this perplex ing crisis. .This we deem harsh, unchari table and impolitic. We believe that each of the Journals referred to, has fatally and equally mistaken' the true policy of the An ti-Masonic party; and,yet we believe their respective Editors honestly think that they are promoting its best interests. That:treachery and traitors—foul and ac cursed• traitors—have brought us into our present dangerous and degraded coalition, we not only do not "` not JJ I I O 4 , i p but those t . a re, .very few of them, in the • corps.. They are to, be found , kr , . Iffi s ce•liolder,i and office.seekers, who 'would convert and transmute Anti•lllasonry, and any other of their profts'seceprinciples, religious or political, into the most filthy 'kind of "filthy- lucre!". Who,. through - the hope of prolonging the period of their offi- cial existence, would join any party--would submit to the hoodwink and cable46w— learn to. repeat : • Ma•ha•bone in Masonic style, and raise poor piram with the "Lion's Grip!" . Seek for , frinx—not amon g - Edi tors—but among the Todds, tho Mcrricks, the Rushes, and that class of mercenary of fice-hunting politicians. We have said that we believe each of them to be equally in error. What difTer encels there, Snti-ltlasonically, between supporting the Masonic Whig, or the Ma. sonic Van Buren party? The Gazette abu ses the Times for supporting Van Buren.— In that, the Times seems to us to deserve reproof; for surely joiningthe ranks of such a party is a total abandonment of Anti-Ma sonic feeling, principles and organization. But the reproof can hardly come with a good grace from an Anti-Mason who supports the Whig candidate; who declared "Political Anti-Masonry to bc.worse than Masonry!" The Times censures the Gazette for consistency, in supporting the man who could utter the above sentence. The Ga zette deserves the censure, but not from the Times, who supports the Van Buren ticket loaded with a Masonic Vice President, and numerous Masonic Electors! We are bound to admit, that each of them has committed political whoredom; but un less some one more chaste than they were found to throw) the first stone, each of them, unpelted, would be told to "go his way and sin no more!" The same may be said of our New Eng land brethren, who have espoused different sides, in the present Masonic contest. At first, they professed to design to fight out this election under the different Masonic banners, and then re.organize•National An ti-Masonry for future action. Now they begin to throw off even that thin veil; and openly and unblushingly meet with,and call themselves Democrats, Whigs, or any oth er Masonic cognomen which the seductive Harlot may choose to dictate! The people have been adroitly led from their principles without knowing it. It seems to us, that the only Anti. Maso nry now, consists in denouncing both the Pre sidential parties, voting for neither, and, a bove all, advocating neither. But surely those of us who have enlisted into the aristo. cratic ranks of Masonic %Vhigism, should "throw no stones" at those of us who are found wrangling among the Jacobins of Ma sonic Van Burenism! And sovice versa. We have now probably said enough, in the sternness of Anti• Masonic integrity, to divert the wrath of both sides from each other to ourself. Such is generally the fate of those kind fools who attempt to allay "family quarrels!" 0:7 - The Editor of the Franklin Ropostto• ry is a very honorable member of the fra• ternity! Scarcely a week passes but he says something about the Gettysburgh S'tat, and yet has neither the honesty nor the courage to send a copy of his paper to the Star! KT - The above Masonic Journal says our suggestion relative to another Extra Session of the Legislature, for the purpose of taking measures to secure to Pennsylvania about $4,000,000 of the Surplus Revenue, would not be countenanced by the People! Does the Editor suppose that the people'of Penn• sylvania are so niggardly as to object to that measure, when so much would be gained for the State at so trifling a cost? ICrThe last Somerset Herald is out a- gainst the nomination of Judge OGLE for Congress! There is too much of"pare Ant?, Masonry" about the Judge,for the stomachs of Todd-Harrison•Anti•Masons! "It is reported that Mr. Van Buren is a bout to marry a distinguished literary Eng. lish lady. As ho rides in an English car riage, and drives English homes, it is but right that he should marry an English wife. He had better go to England to get votes." o* - i - tight! He will, or ought not receive many truly American votes. (* . LADIES, which tells the truth? One Editor states that some of you go to Church to look at each others' Dresses and Bonnets; another pronounces this to be scandal, and declares that you go there to show your own!

There is said to be much excitement in the neighborhood of the transaction.— York Gazette.
