HARRISBUROB, tune 12, 1837. DEA 1,1, Sin—As your retteers will no doubt be anxi - ous to hear what progress the Convention has made, what Articles of the Constitution they have in part, acted on, and what Amendments (if any) arc made to the different sections of those articles, I will therefore give you a short account of the proceedings. - The first Article acted on was the Bth, the Oath of Office. The Committee to whom that article was referred,.reported that it was inexpedient to make any alteration. In Committee of the Whole (which is called the first reading,) several amend ments were offered, but all rejected—it was there fore reported without amendment. The next article, the 4th, on Impeachment, the Committee reported an amendment in the 2d BCC, tion—to strike out two-thirds and insert a majori ty. The section is as follows: "All Impeachments shall be tried by the Senate. When sitting for that purpose, each Senator shall be oft oath or affirma tion ;_no person shall be convicted without the concurrence oftwo-thirda of the members present.' In committee of the whole, the report of the cot mittee was disagreed to, and the article was regibr ted to Convention withimt amendment. The next report of Committee in order was that on the Ist Article of the Constitution—the Legis lative. Reports on this article were made for a mendments by the majority, and also by the mi nority. It finally passed committee and was repor ted with the following amendments: Ist See: No amendments. 2d Sec. Amended by striking out Second Tues day of October, and inserting 3d Tcesday. It now reads as follows: "Section 2d. The Representa tives shall be chosen annually, by the Citizens o the City of Philadelphia and each County respect tively.ton the Third Tuesday of October. Section 3d—Amended by inserting in the 6th lino, after the word state, the following words: "or unless ho shall have been previously a qualified elector in the State,in -which case he shall be eligi ble 'upon ono year's residence."

Sections 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23—No amendments. All the above sec- Hone have only passed the first reading, and will have to pass the second and third readings before a final action thereon. On Sattirday the Convention wont into COM. mitten of the Whole on the 2d Article of the Con stitution, the Executive. [From another Correspondent.] HARRISBURGH, June 19, 1837. The Convention to-day resolved itself into a committee of the whole:, Me. Kis ri,of Washington, in the chair, ,on the report, of ,the committee to whom wee referred the third article of the consti tution. A considerable diirersity of opinion has beenimanifested is reference to the qualifications of electors. •An amendment was offered by Mr. EITZHIG ERE, ivhieli was withdrawn lifter soma dis cussion, to strike out the word "free" and insert awhile,',' :so that instead of, es at present, every white male citizen possessing the other requisite qualifications for an elector, the constitution should be so amended that every white male citizen should be an elector, provided ho possess the other requi site qualificatiods. The committee rose after making some progress and will sitagirin on to-morrow. Some of the real radicals arts fur dispensing with the tax qualifica tions entirely, whilst the more moderato reformers are not disposed to amend the present constitution in that particular.. The Committee on the third article bate reported, that . one - leers State rests deuce shall entitle a citizen otherwise qualified to 410 a voter; this amendment will doubtless pass. Mr. FORWARD, from the committee on the 7th article of the constitution reported in part on Fri day last as follows: • Sect. 1. The legislature shall as soon no cow* , niently may be, provide by law for the establish ment of schools throughout the State,in such man ner that all children may be taught at public ex pense. Sect. 2. The Arts and. Sciences shall ho promo. ted in such institutions of learning as my be alike open to all the children of the commonwealth. The following is the manner in which the eighth section of the second article of the constitution has been amended in committee of the whole by a vote of 61 to 59. "He (the Governor) shall appoint a Secretary of the Commonivealttx during pleasure, and ho shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint all Judicial Officers of Courts of Record, unless otherwise provided in this Constitution—Provided, that in acting on Ex ecutive nominations, the Senate shall sit with open doors; and in confirming or rejecting the nomina tions of the Governor, the vote shall bo taken by yeas and nays." The 14th Sect. of article 2d this morning paSs ed through committee of the whole,as follows--viz.: "•In case of death or resignation of the Governor, or his removal from office, the Speaker of the Sen ate shall exercise the office of Governor until a nother shall be duly qualified; but in such case, Bather Governor shall be chosen at the next an nual election of representatives, unless such death, resignation or removal shall occur within three calendar months immediately preceding such next annual election; in which case, a Governor shall be chosen at the second succeeding annual election of representatives. And if the trial of a contested election shall continue longer than until the third Monday of January next ensuing the election of Governor, the Governor of the last year, or the Speaker of the Senate, who may be in the exercise of the Executive authority, shall continuo therein until the determination of such contested election, and until a Governor shall be duly qualified as aforesaid." Progressing at the rate thus fur, the Convention will have considered the Constitution in Commit tee of the Whole in about four weeks, allowing two months and a half in committee of the whole. It will be a tolerably correct estimate to allow three and a half months more for a second and third reading, which will be about six months for them to complete the task assigned them—a much long er period than it was generally anticipated would be required. ft is a work of momentous magnitude,and should be deliberately discussed, regardless of every pecu niary consideration, and with an eye singly to the welfare and prosperity of us and our posterity- THE BALTIMORE FLOOD From the Baltimore Sun of June 15 DREADFUL INUNDATION! Loss of Life--Loss of houses, and vast des-. trvetion of .IfferchancUse le other Property. On Wednesday evening about 6 o'clock, our city was suddenly enveloped in a dark and heavy cloud which portended an angry storm and rendered '<darkness visible" long before the sun set. Rain soon commenced falling, and continued in plentiful showers till about 7 o'clock, when the storm abated and every thing indicated a calm and 'plena ant night. About 9 o'clock another cloud made iii appearance in the North West, ac companied by vivid flashes of lightning,und peal after peal of thunder that-almost 'shook the earth to its centre. At a little past 9 o'clock a terrific blaze of lightning lighted up the adjacent and sajacent country, and in a few seconds was followed by a crash of thunder which shook the firmest fabrics of the city. Such a peal, such a crash, we do not believe ever burst upon the ears of an astonished people. Though from the time that elapsed between the flash of lightning and the bursting of the thunderbolt,we were led to suppose that it was distant, the con cussion of the elements was dreadfully ter rific, and was of itself quite sufficient to re mind one of the utter feebleness and frailty of man. With this shock of thunder, the rain, which had previously fallen in copious showers, burst from the heavens in torrents, and continued to fall as Wm one intermina ble cascade,till past one o'clock in the morn ing, when the stream called Jones' Falls, which runs through the city in a northern and southern direction, became Swollen to its banks, and was soon rendered incapable of retaining its boundaries. The several bridges that crossed it, in the neighborhood of the city, were soon carried away by the force of the waters, aided by huge quantities of drift-wood, the fragments of dislodged buildings, &c.—all of which, being forced down the stream, brought up against the bridge that crosses the Falls in Gay street; thus penning up the flood above it. The water burst from its banks, and,seeking vent in the low-lands, immediately inundated all that section of the city known by the appella tion of the "Meadows." Such was the dark ness of the night, the lateness of the hour, and so little was a calamity so dreadful dream ed of, and so sudden the inundation, that many lives were sacrificed, a complete list of which may never be obtained. At this moment we are not enabled to go into a full detail of the dreadful consequences of this inundation; and,for a full account,must wait for further developments. At present, wg can only give the Plowing particulars: Mr. Christopher Weist,sexton to the Rev. Mr. Haisperd's, church, together with his wife and three childrenovere drowned. His family resided at the corner of Holliday and Saratoga streets, hex, door to the church to which the unfortunate Weist was sexton.— After the water had subsided, Mr. Weist was found drowned in his bed, with two of his children in his arms; the wife Was in another bed, clasping her infant to her bo som. From these facts, it is evident that the dwelling of poor Weist was' inundated by an instantaneous rush of the water, thus carrying the whole fiimily to the-ttimb. Mrs. Catharine Donnelly,an Irish woman residing nt the corner of Holliday and Cen tre streets, was drowned, and her body has been recovered; her husband is rnissing,and is supposed to have been carried down the stream and drowned.. A man named Dougherty, was drowned at the corner ofConcord and Water streets. A Tamil colored people residing in Harrison at as also drowned. James Do 3 'on-the Long Dock; Jacob Oettift; a dervish boy, aged 18 Years iJaMett Xelly, all frith boy; a girl a Shantee near the Belvidere Bridge, and seven Re rsOns; about two miles out of -the city, were all drowned. In addition to the loss,of livetratreOdy enumerated, we are sorry to add, thavan infant was fi,und dead in the street near the Marsh Mtirket; its parents unknown, but supposed to have shared the same fate of the chile Mr. Joseph McCann, grocer, ,corner of Holiday and Bath streets, escaped by get• ttng out of his house and taking refuge in a tree. He at first attemp'ed to cross over Finn's bridge, but finding it impossible to do so, fled to a tree, whet() he found a retreat till the water receded. The ba.enaent stories of all the buildings in Harrison street, from Gay to Market, were filled with water; and at the lower end of Harrison at. some of the second stories were inundated. The buildings in Market street for some hundred yards east and west of Harrison street were deluged, and as must of them were occupied as stores, the loss of property in that direction must have been very great. Mr. J. Curlett's Soap and Candle Man•, ufactory, corner of Pleasant and Holliday sta., had eight feet of water in its first story; damage very considerable. The corner of Bath and Holliday streets was completely blocked up with drift wood, timber, wrecks of buildings, &c. The greatest destruction was • dewed at the extensive distillery of the Messrs. Whites, besides the loss of n large quantity of materials and implements, it is stated that a number of horses and mules, nearly one hundred cows, and several hundred hogs have been drowned. Mr. Lee's Carriage Repository in Holli day st., near to Saratoga, was inundated; 15 carriages were destroyed—loss estimated at $7 or 88000. -The Marsh Market was very much in kited. and a 0 portion of its North wing will have 'to be rebuilt. Several of its pillars were carried away, and many of the stalls and blocks were swept into the Basin at the foot °fate slip; completely filling it up. The water on both sides of the market was from 4 to 6 feet high. Gay street, Market street, and Pratt street . bridges were all partially carried a• way. It is next to impossible to form any thing like a correct estimate in relation to the loss that the city has sustained by this unprece dented disaster. Ruin stalks through an imposingand an important part of the city, and all is excitement. The more we wander around the scene of desolation, the more fully is the ruin de veloped. The heart sickens at the contem plation of a scene so dreadful. We cannot go into all the particulars at this moment,for the calamity has been so extensive, that it cannot be fathomed for a day or two. An intelligent gentleman, an old resident of the city,—who would not be likely to exagge rate,—informs us, that the loss cannot be less than TWO MILLIONS of dollars. In addition to the heavy rain which fell hare, it is said that the dam of the Pimlico factory, about five or six mites above the city, covering several acres, gave way on Wednesday evening, thus adding a great body of water to the already overflowing stream. We have just returned from another visit to the flooded and desolated district, and a gain have dwelt on a spectacle well calcula ted to call all the better sympathies of our nature into action. The distress that has fallen on a portion of our citizens who were of all others the least calculated to meet it, loudly culls for the aid and assistance of the more fortunate. In addition to the losses alfeady enume rated, we are sorry to say that the extensive Tannery of Mr. Appold, situated near the jail, was completely deluged, inflicting on its respectable proprietor a loss estimated from $4 to $5OOO. The Gas House was partially inundated, and it is feared that in consequence of the injury the works have received that they may not be enabled to generate any gas for two or three days to come. • , The Bazaar Bridge was carried off; and the buildings in its neighborhood were more or less injured. The Fountain at the head of the market is completely covered over with lumber, and the environs are filled with alluvial sand; and the Iron Foundry of Mr. William Mil ler on the banks of the Fulls is very exten sively injured. Five dead bodies have been found since morning, lodged against the draw bridge,and se. veral others have been found in different parts of the city. A German, who was alarmed by the flood com ing into his dwelling, rose, and going to the lower apartment of the house, soon found himself up to his waist in water. He returned to his room, and taking, with him his sister in his arms, swain with her for some distance, whenhe current took him down the stream, and both w ,ro finally saved by clinging to the branches of a tree. A boy, as we learn from the Patriot, between the ago of twelve and fourteen, had fallen from the drift which clogged Baltimore street Bridge, into the swollen and whirling current of the river, and being unable to swim, was passing rap.dly and helplessly down the strotim,only the top °lbis head above water, and had once entirely disap. peered, when a young man bravely dashed into the stream, and just as the youth was about to be drawn under the drift of lumber, &c, which clog. ged in like manner the bridge below on Pratt street, he was snatched exhausted and almost lifeless from death, and restored to his family.— The name of the humane and heroic person who thus nobly at the hnzard of hie own life, saved that of a fellow -creature, probably unknown to him, is LEWIS SPIESE, a young man of this city, a mechanic. We are sorry to add that intelligence has been received in town, which states that twelve or tour. teen persons were drowned near the Susquehanna Rail-road, and that the destruction.of property in that neighborhood has been immense. Mr. Noonan, contractor on • the Susquehanna Rail-road, was in town yesterday, and reports that at his section, about three miles above the city, eleven horses out of twenty.one employed by him, were drowned, and all his carts, harnesses, and tools were lost. Ten of the laborers were drown ed, the bodies'of four have been recovered and sent to the city for inquest. It is nut probable, that we shall get the whole details of, the disastet for some days to come— the whole number of lives lost may never. be as. certained. We shall take unwearied pains to collect all the facts of the disaster as rapidly as they can be obtained. ),t FrtniOite!Stiii of ..!

Among the passengers in the ship Que. bec, which sailed from New York for Lon don, on Monday, was J.

MICHAEL MONOIION, a lad of fourteen, was - convicted at Lowell on Friday last of setting fire to a barn, by which several buil. dings were destroyed, and one man lost his life. He was sentenced to be hung at such time as the Governor shall appoint. FATAL ACCIDENT..--WO learn from the Cumberland Civilian, that a young man, emigrating with big parents to the 'West, met his death, on Tuesday last, near Frost. burgh, in• that county, by the accidental discharge of a gun, while in the nct•of draw ing it from the wagon, to shoot at some pig eons. He received the whole contents in the breast, and died immediately. The un• fortunate family, which thus lost one of its members, was understood to be from New Jersey.

State of VIRGINIA convened -at Richmond on Mon day last, in pursuance of the proclamation of the Governor. On the same day the Governor communicated to the two Houses, by message, his reasons for convoking. Ibis extrasebsion of the Legislature. It appears that, by the existing law, a suspension of specie payments by the Banks of the State not only works a forfeiture of some of their charters, hut prohibits•their notes from be ing receiveable in payments to the State, which would in effect be cutting off nearly all the revenue of the State during the soli pension. To apply a remedy for this state of things, the Goveinor has culled the Leg iilature together. In regard to the Banks and currency in general,and some of the party crudities of the day, the Governor makes the following sets sible, and, considering their source, very in dependent suggestions: "The system , of banking has been keg since intrOduced, and we find it fixed upon us. The Commonwealth is largely interes ted in the stocks of Oar *thing institutions, through the fulxi for internal improvement. and the literary fund; and the stock 'which is thus held is a ptul of the security which has been, pledged to the holders of the pub liattel4. hag:100 - jOrformed alt the purposes of the curren4;Pid by the holders of it, the poor and the-rich,: ,s coun ted as innriey.', .The merchants and traders ofour towns have been accustomed to look to the Minks for facilities andaid; tind , thro' 7 their instrumentality it was, that they have been enabled to make their purchases ofthe planter and farmer. It would surely be un wise; in u period of difficulty, and When-pri vote credit is in need of unusual facilities, to eultioviminstitutions which are so incorpe ratild with every public and individu 11 inter est, and from which it • would result, as an immediate consequence, that the difficulties of paying would ho aintmeeted, whilst the debt to be paid wieild be increased.

Hon. Messrs. Stevenson & Rnsli. Probably most of our readerei may have learned (though we do not recollect that we have meddled with the matter) that some comments were made in certain journals here upon the republication in London of Mr. Van Buren's Letter to Sherrod Wil liams which appeared last summer; or rath er, of that large portion of it which relates to the Bank of the United States and to a • National Bank generally. This republica tion was made in the spirit of nvowed hostili ty, to the Bank. and.was naturally calculated to injure its credit in Europe. Hereupon, somebody took' occasion to infer that Hon. ANDREW STEVENSON, our Ambassador to . the Court of St. James,was the prime mover of the step,and to censure him for the alleg. .... ed agitation abroad of a questie . nof domestic ;_,,,, policy, especially since such egitation conld ' have no other effict there thiin to injure the financial interests and mercantile credit of the country. As soon as these strictures reached England, Mr. Stevenson promptly and indignantly repelled the charges against him, declaring that he had kept entirely aloof in England from all queltions of Amen. . ' can domestic policy, holding- himself the representative of the whole nation and not of ' any portion or party.. - For - some of• the - sentiments expressed in this disclaimer, he was sharply rebuked in the Washington Globe, in language which seemed to inaply some direliction from the patt'of rectitude or from party, fidelity in the..couree he 11% pursued. This rebuke excited a considlf e'' • We sensation at the time; and having reached's: '', London,has drawn forth another letter from , s , .„ Mr. Stevenson rather explanatory than apol - -' : " ogetic, but dictated by no particular neees- wil sity that we can imagine. The Ambassador remarks that,though he has carefully avoid. ed all interference with politics since he went abroad, yet his political attachments remain unchanged, and he is still favorable to the , policy of the late and present Administra. , tions,and hostile to the Bank in every shape. 1 Of course he is: his station is a sufficient , gUarantee for this,and nobody but the Editor' ' ;', of the Globe has ever pretended to doubt it. $' Mr. Stevenson might have withheld this die. claimer without danger of geisepprehension or derogation of dignity. ' ' 1 And now for Mr. RICIIARO Rom, who has also been for some time in London le an Agent of the Government in 'relation to the Sm thsoman bequest s arid who was first indicated by the Globe as' the true' author of the republication complained of. Mr. Rush has also come out with a letter averring and justifYing his agency in the business, with comments, historical, political, morel and p'cal., - As to the only essential point in dis q t to—the right of a Government fem. tie ry abroad to republish such political , pamphlets as he may choose--we are dispo. sod to agree with him; though still,there is room for the question of propriety, if such 1 publication is calculated to.injure the credit, depreciate the property, and embarrass the business of American citizens abroad, with.' out efrieting any purpose at hmaie or abroad. But Mr. Rush places his defence—which' .; rests far more securely on the assumption ' that no defence is needed—on the ground that our National Administration was suffer- '; mg under-the continued obloquy ofthe whole . British press. Now, any person who 'reads I English newspapers clearly knows that this - assumption is false--=that the whOe'Redi- cal press of Great Britain has been uniform. ly and warmly favorable to Gen. Jackson i and the Anti Bank policy, while the'eonser- ) valve journals have regarded our Adminis; tration with evident partiality since the con. troversy• with France. A few querulous remarks have Wen drawn. forth by recent i events; but even now the whale English' ,I press is ludicrously ignorain of the pplitical ' acts which have combined with other causes to produce the commercial convulsion here which reacts so fearfully on Great Britain. , 1 It would mortify the elide of on Englishrnao to acknowledgeoaree if his judgement were satisfied of the fact, that tae wayward poli cy of the American Government had manly contributed to throw intodisorder the, whole , l commereial world. But at the time when, Mr. Rash powered the publication of this ' letter, our country was hardly spoken of at , ,all in the English papers.

Jackson Currency! al -When the General Government commenced its war upon the United States Bank, and distress and pressure in the money market began to be felt in various parts of the country, the Administration called upon the people to have ptdiena!—telling them, at the same time,that in the course of a few months, the pressure ss - Guld be at an end, and that they would have a currency of Gold and Silver.— This, it was predicted, would take place in seven months from the removal of the Deposites. Let us see how far the prediction has been fulfilled, and what benefit has resulted to the people from the ' , experiment" made upon the currency. Mr. Tama., in his instruction to the Deposita! Banks, issued the 9th of October, 1833, says— “ The deposites of the Public Money will enable you (the Pet Banks) to afford INCREASED ' , let LI TILT.

At that time, it was confidently de dared by its Organs, that the removal of the De posites, and the destruction of the L'nitej States BSA, arms the harbinger Ofa GOLDEN AGE—Such as was fabled bythe ancient poets, when figs grew upon thorns, and wine Bowed like water in the brooks!

Although we would like if the Editors of the Republican were competent or willing to under take the tusk, to enter into a discussion with them as to the truth or falsity of such sweeping asser tions, yet we can hardly expect it of them. It is the custom of the conductors of the Masonic press to deal in "free assertions" and "bold denials" of facts; yet they never pretend to advance either facto or arguments to sustain those "bold asser tions."
