From the N. Y. Express MAJOR Dowrscvo. —We have so much reliance on the Major's views of finance, that we ask with entire confidence the attention of our readers to the following letter. Those who approve his notions should use their individual efforts to see them carried out into practice; it is cruel and heart-rending to witness a nation like this crushed and trammeled, amid plenty and ability, and all for the want of good and wholesome measures. Every day's delay brings increased misery and distress, and we are quite sure that as soon as the pre sent administration can have time to act, they will act promptly and wisely; and we trust the whole people will go with them, in tin honest and patriotic aid to lift the nation over and out of the mud wo are no w floun• dering in. It is not the work of a party, but the work of a people, honest, patriotic, and independent, and above mere party— we have bad enough of party. WASHINGTON, 15th March, 1841. To the people of the United States: FELLow•CzTzzENs...—Whilst the Gineral and his Cabinet folks•are busy looking into matters acd gitting things in order, I think it is a good time to give you my notions as to what is best for you, the people, to be thinking OW, so that by the time Con gress gets together they can go to work and do . what is needful, without making long speeches and wasting time till the dog days. There aro three or four measures must be put in shape without delay—and it is a great pity all the State elections didn't fin ish before the fourth of March, so that a now Congress would be always ready. In the first place Uncle Sam must have money, without being driven to borrowing on't from hand to mouth on Treasury notes, which is n beggarly system; and ho must get his money out of duties on foreign goods —there is no mistake cheat that. • In the next place he must have an agent to receive and pay his money, and make it the inter est of that agent to take what kind of mon. ey he chooses; only agreeing to pay out what he does receive, in the best kind of money the people demand; and then all par ties are accommodated, and that can't be done by Sub-Treasuries; because if the law compels every man who owes Uncle Sam to pay only in gold and silver, they must first get tho gold and silver, and that is a trade in itself, and before the folks can larn it there will be no revenue. Every man engaged in any kind of calling will under. stand the difference betwixt an agent of the landlord drawing gold and silver for rent, or one who is willing to take what the ten ant takes in his trade; and if this agent can accommodate thus the tenants, and agrees to pay dollar for dollar of what he collects for the landlord in gold or silver, if wanted, than no one can grumble, and we have cur.. rency matters put back on the same foot ing is was before the hogs got into the corn field. Tho next measure is to put the public land matter on a safe footing, so that they who own this big farm will get their honest share of the proceeds of sales, and see that no speculators grab up large quantities of it because prices are low, but sell to no man unless he goes and digs there: and then let him have it at the lowest price. Now all these measures have been talk• ed over, and intelligent and patriotic folks understand them all well, and there is no use to waste time in Congress in gabbling over them but toe the mark and pass them, and as soon as done there is only one mea• sure to look to, and then we all float off the mud and get into deep water, and that is to aid and save the credit of the States. I don't know but that the measures already mentioned won't do this—but to make it sure Uncle Sam has only to say to the world, "1 stand by the bowl," and the busi ness is done at once. Now how is he to do this economically and safely? Unless some folks have a better plan—this is mine. Let Congress pass a law authorizing the issue of U. States bonds having twenty years to run, and bearing an interest of 3 per cent. and say "all ye who have any State bonds now issued by the States, if you don't think 'em safe bring 'em in and take my bonds bearing three per cent. interest," and Con gress might further say, "and all bonds hereafter issued by the State can at any time be thus exchanged—provided said bonds are issued by the authority of Con. gress first obtained by the State issuing them." This would work on a safe rule; for tho' it don't actually prevent any State issuing 'a bill of credit, (which the Consti tution positively prohibits) yet it comes to the right ground, and the States should agree to it never to let any State issue more of these "bills of credit" withutit consent of the great family. The Constitution did evidently intend that no State should go on and create "bills of credit"—and for very good reasons; for apart from the ability any State could other. wise• have in raising money for unlawful purposes, it is a scandal to the family for any of its members to create debts end be unable to pay them. I .have no doubt myself that any of the States now owing debts can easily pay them if the country has a revenue from foreign commerce, an agent to collect and disburse the same with, power to furnish a good cur rency, and also the land distribution bill; bnt these take a little more time than can be afforded. Creditors have lost cool. donee; public works of improvement ate stopped for want of means to proceed, and millions will be lost by not saving what is dOne and completing some, so that they can goon earning; and this can be at once done by Uncle Sam himself coming right up and saying to the holders of State bonds, "here is your security if- you don't like what you have got," Uncle Sam then pays three per cent. on his bonds thus issued; the question is who is to pay thnt? for some States have no bonds nut—the answer is, the States pay 4t whose bonds,are exehang. ed for these 'United States bonds. Fur ex amp* suppose Illinois bonds to the amount of three millions, or Indiana bonds;or any other bonds, aro thus cancelled for United States bonds, the interest paid for their ac count by the United States is a debt against said States, and can be .deducted out of their proportion of the distribution of land sales if needs be, so that no State, unless its bonds are cancelled, by this exchange sys tem, pays for account of any other State; the account is as simple as shelling corn there is no mystery, about it; if' twenty or even forty milliontfOf State bonds were thus cancelled, it would be no killing matter to Uncle Sam—three per cent. a year on twen ty millions is six hundred thousand dollars, and the credit of the States sound and put high; he has paid more than this in chasing and catching six Injins in Florida, and con sidered cheap work, too, for one campaign. Now, the next question is, how will this operate? Well, I'll tell you. By the time ton millions of dollars of State bonds are brought . in for exchange, folks who hold the balance will begin to think it is quite as well to hold on and they will feel confidence, and well they may, for by the time they see the country on its legs again, and all interests working ahead, as they will under the mea sures proposed, they will be very glad to get State bonds and hold them too, for it will be a strange matter inleed if the securities of tilts country aint as good as the best in Europe when things are put straight here, and 'they will be put straight if the people will only agree to what the present folks at the helm advise, there is no two ways about it. But if one set of folks talks ono way, and one another, and another a little of both, and another contrary to all, there is no get ting on "E pluribus unum" is the Latin of a bundle of sticks straight and crooked ali tied up snugly together, and all creation can't break them whilst thus bound together, but take 'ern singly and you can snap 'ern like pipe stems. The time has come now for every honest man to look to this, and see that his repre sentative in Congress does his duty and makes no long 'speeches about it. Three hundred folks all talking month after month at 8 dollars a day (and a Congress day only throe or four hours) is a little too tuff for these hard times, and the expense comes right out of honest labor. The people must therefore look to it, and see that their rep resentatives look to it too, and do their I work properly. It is dead low water now all over the country; the hammer, the wheel, the axe and plough are all ready for action. We have good and honest and truly patriotic folks at head quarters, and all they want now is a chance to do good for all; and for ono say give 'em a fair chance and if they don't succeed or show they don't know how, then turn 'em out and try again.— Some roots of the old weedsdire still in the ground and will try to sprout up; they must be watched and hoed under if we want good crops; it makes no odds what name these weeds take, or how they may show off and try to gull folks; but "red dock," "blue mul ten," and "skunk cabbage" we all know, and have seen and suffered by, and the less wo have of them the better. Your fellow•citrzen, J. DOWNING, Major, die &c. &c. From tho Philadelphia Inquirer ARRIVAL OF 7 lIE STEAMER CALEDONIA. 22 DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. The Atlantic steamer arrived at Boston on Saturday, and we are indebted to private hands for Liverpool papers to the latest dates, namely, to the 4th of March—Lon don to the 3d, and Havre of the 2d. We ha - sten to publish all the news of im portance. The news of the suspension of specie pay ments by the United States and other Banks, had been received in England. The effect was not so disastrous as had been expected —but time enough had not elapsed to test its results. As far as known, however, the depression of American securities was great —United States Bank being quoted at low and merely nominal prices. The bills drawn by the United States Bank on the house of Morrison & Co. had been accepted. One difficulty therefore, that had been anticipated, seams to be removed. No news had been received overland, either from India or China. We have therefore, no later dates from the East, than have been already published. Lord Cardigan had been tried in the House of Lords, on accusations arising out of his duel with Capt. Reynolds, and acquit. ted. The occasion was one of imposing solemnity. A portion of the public seemed to be much dissatisfied with the result. The general aspect of European affairs was pacific—but it was said that England and the Allied Powers intended to remon• strate against the warlike demonstrations of France. An extensive mercantile house had failed in Liverpool. A Wai- Movement in France.—ln the Chamber of Peers, Marshal Soult had pre. vented a bill for the levy of 80,000 men; and for increasing the term from 7 to 8 years. The deputies had already adopted the measure. All was quiet in France. The Ministry had majorities in both Houses,and all Home questions were in a fair way of settlement. From Spain.—The Madrid dates are to the 21st ult. The Government had con centrated a large force in the neighborhood of Victoria, which threatened to arrest the Alcaldo and Depety General of the Pro• vince, should'they refuse to instal a Judge appointed by the Regency. Turkey and Egypt.— Constantinople dates are to the Bth, and Alexandria to the 6th. The Turkish fleet had' anchored in the Bay of Martnora. It was in a very bad condition. Ibrahim Pacha had arrived at Gaza.— Vessels had been sent to bring home the remains of the Syrian nrmy. The Sultan and ltlehemet.—The Porte had held frequent councils. in relation to the restrictions to be imposed on Mehemoi Ali's Government, and also to the negotiations in L-ndon. • The News from the U. States.—The picket ship George Washington had arrived in Liverpool on the 3d, with news of the stoppage of the U. S. Bank. It is certain therefore, that the account above, derived from a passenger, in relation to the effect on American stocks, will only apply to Liv erpool—fin the news was published in that town first on the 4th. The Mail of that date gives it without comment. The Princess has been christened, and the Queen was in excellent health. We have just seen another paper contain ing Parliamentary Debates, in one of which we observe that Lord John Russell said, in reply to a question from si-r J. Graham,that the pension to bo granted for Lieut. McCor mick, was recommended for wounds re. eeived in the "cutting•out" of the Caroline. It was rumored in Paris, that the French Government had offered to mediate between England and the United States, in relation to the McLeod affair. The American Chamber of Commerce in Liverpool. —At a recent meeting of the American Chamber of Commerce in Liver pool, resolutions were adopted in favor of some change in the commercial relations between Great Britain and the United States, and urging that sound policy calls for the admission of American grain, flour and rice, at a moderate fixed duty; and that the practical exclusion of American timber operated most injuriously on the British shipping interests, the manufhcturers, and the community at largo. Dreadful Catastrophe at Sea.—Sinco publishing our "extra," we have perused the painful particulars of the loss of the "Gov. Fenner." It appears that she was run into by the steamer "Notingham,"nnd supposed to have been cut in half—as one portion of the wreck was afterwards fallen in with about 16 miles west of the "Sker rtes." Two men were seen in the rigging, and a boat proceeded instantly to take them off—but both wore dead! All the accounts agree, that only the captain and mate were saved. The entire number of lives lost was 124! Singular to relate, the passen. bets on board the Nottingham steamer, were impressed with an idea that she would go down, and they made every effort to get on board the sinking ship—but fortu nately they could not succeed, and so their lives were saved. Cotton maintained its price at Havre; anti at Liverpool, the sales were chiefly American. The British Naoy —Lord Palmerston, in the course of a debate on the British Na vy, said that it was necessary for England to keep up her navy, if it were only to make peace permanent. This hint should not be lost in this country. CIRCULAR. DEPARTMENT OP STATE, / March 20, 1841. To the Hon. TEIOMAS Ewnco, Secretary of the Treasury: Srn:—The PPESIDENT is of opinion that it is a great abuse to bring the patronage of the General Government into conflict with the freedom of elections; and that this abuse ought to bo corrected wherever it may have been permitted to exist, and to bo prevented for tho fnture. He therefore directs that information be given to all officers and agents in your De partnient of the public service that partisan interference in popular elections, whether of State officers, or officers of this Govern ment, and for whomsoover,or against whom soever it may be exercised, or the pay ment of any contribution or assessment on salaries or ofricial compensation for party or election purposes, will be regarded by him as cause of removal. It is not intended that any officer shall be restrained in the free and proper expres sion and maintenance of his opinions respec ting public men or public measures, or in the exercise, to the fullest degeee, of the constitutional right of suffrage. But per sons employed under the Government, and paid for their services out of the public Treasury, are not expected to take an ac tive or officious: part in attempts to influence the minds or votes of others; such conduct being deemed inconsisten with the spirit of the Constitution and the duties of public agents acting under it, and the President is resolved, so far as depends upon him, that while the exercise of the elective franchise by the People shall be free from undue in fluences of official station and authority, opinion shall also be free among the officers and agents of the Government. The President wishes it further to be announced and distinctly understood, that from all collecting and disbursing officers promptitude in rendering accounts, and en tire punctuality in paying balances, will be rigorously exacted. In his opinion it is time to return, in this respect, to the early practice of the Government, and to hold any degree of delinquency on the part of those ei,kusted with the public money just cause of imrrediate removal. He deems the severe observance of this rule to be essential to the public service, as every dol lar lost to the Treasury by unfaithfulness in office creates a necessity i for a newlcharge upon the People. I have the" honor to be, sir, your obedi ent servant, DANIEL WEBSTER. [Similar letters have been addressed to other heads of Departments.] STATE DEBT AND TA7CATION—A CON TRAST.—When the late Governor Ritnor came into office, the State debt was twenty four millions, and the people were burthen ed with tax to pay the interest. One of the first acts of his administration was to RE. PEAL the tax—and during his term ofoirice tho public work swore continued, the inter est of the State debt was promptly paid, the state debt was diminished, and not a dollar of STATE TAX was taken from the pock ets of the people. But how is it now? Since Governor Porter came into powor the State debt has been increased TEN MIL• LIONS, and a State tax to the amount of a million a year has been levied up us. And the money squandered upon partizan favor. ites and idlers, that live upon public plunder. If"any doubt this, we refer them to the fol. lowipg extracts from the messages of both. Extract from Governor Rilner's message delivered December 23, 1838. "The- permanent State debt, which was $24,330,003 32, in 1895, is now 824,230,- 000 32: Tho State tax, which was then in exis• tence, without the hope of termination, has ceabed to bo collected, and nothing but the utmost profusion can make it again neces. nary. The State credit, which was at a low ebb in 18a5, is now raised and the common wealth obtains even her temporary loans with ease at four per cent." PRESENT STATE DEBT Extract from the late message of Governor Porter. "Thn present amount of the public debt is-- Permanent loans at 5 per cent. $33,0 1 30,013 32 Do. do. at 4/ per cent. 200,000 00 Temporary leans at 4 " 15,000 00 $33,801,013 32 Duo United States on ac• count of doposite surplus revenue, 2,867.514 78 Unpaid appropriations, 622,247 59 $36,790,775 69 Let the tax payers look at the above facts.—Har. Tele. From the Albany Argue A SINGULAR DIVORCE CASE.—Tho re• cords of the proceedings of the Legislatures idsome of the States present frequent cases of the dissolution of the marriage contract by legislative enactment, and necessarily, when that mode is resorted to, without strict adherence to any gelieral principle or well settled judicial rule. In this state, the prnctice has wisely been to confine such ap plications to the court of chancery, where they are decided upon a uniform and rigid construction of the statute. A case is now pending before the New York Senate, however, which is quite pecu liar in its features. The common law fixes the "ago of consent," as it is termed, at 12 years for a female. Some years since, the statute law of this state varied that age of consent to 14 years, and at the same time declared it a telonioue offence to marry a fe male under that age, without the consent of her parents or guardians. Subsequently, the statute was amended, so as to restore the common law rule of 12 years of age as the period when a female becomes legally marriageable; but the penalty against clan destinely marrying a female less than 14 years of age, was inadvertently left in force: During the autumn of 1839, a daughter of a citizen of Stephentown, Rennselaer county, aged about 13 years, attended the common school of the district in which she resided, and when going and returning was in the habit of calling at a neighbor's house on the way. The mistress of this house seems to have been an inveterate match maker, and she so filled the simple girl's mind with notions of matrimony, having reference to a particular young man of her acquaintance, as toprepare, her to take that important step atthe first convenient oppor. tunity. In the course of events, the father and mother of the girl were absent from their residence, at a funeral, which would detain them for nearly a day, and this occasion was improved by the husband of the officious match maker, and others, to persuade their victim (though not without much hesitation on her part) to ride to a clergyman's in the vicinity, and be married to the young man —who would seem, from the statements before the Senate, to have played but a se• condary part in the affair. Resulting from these proceedings was the indictment of the conspirators, and the sentence of the husband to the state prison. Meanwhile, the wife is such, in the oyes of the law; although the punishment of the husband pronounces her still under the con trol of her parents. To put an end to this double and incompatible relation, legislative action seems to be necessary. bill for that purpose was reported by Mr. Strong, from the judiciary committee, and was before the committee of the whole on Tuesday, but was recommitted on Fri day, for the purpose of having the facts spread upon the journals in a formal report, lest the case should be drawn into a pre cedent. THR TARIFF AND THE SOUTII.-A Wash ington correspondent of the Boston Atlas, writes in a late letter: "On the subject, too, of a protective Tar ifFit, is, held a matter of doubt whether there is not, in reality, a stronger feeling in its favour at the South than at the North. There has on this point, evidently been, within a few years past, an extraordinary change, both of interests and opinions.— At all events, the anti.tarrff feeling at the North has evidently very much increased, while at the South there has grown up, in certain parts, a desire for protective duties on certain articles, of importation. This latter feeling is the strongest, perhaps; at the South %Vest, but it is not wanting in parts of N. and S. Carolina arid Georgia, to protect their cotton manufactures, and exists still more among the tobacco growers who desire retaliatory duties upon imports from France. This last feeling prevails to a great extent in Maryland; and in nearly the whole of Virginia. In the latter State, the districts of Messrs. - Wise and Mallory, being wholly commercial, and therefore antagonist to the interests of the tobacco growers, none of this article being raised there, aro exceptions. The state of feel ings on this subject,wbich is rapidly increa sing in strength and extent, does not appear to be fully appreciated at the North." NEW YORX AND VIROINIA.—The Rich mond Whig of Friday says: "The hill tm• posing restrictions upon vessels coming from or belonging to New York, was yes. tdrday, aller verjoio amendments, ordered to be engrossed by a largelmsjority." The following is the concluding section of the Bill: "This act shall commence and be in force from and after the first day of May, 1842; but that tho Governor of this Com• monwealth may, by proclamation, suspend the operation of the same, until the end of the succeeding session of the Legislature of this State, whenever he shall be officially informed that the Evecutive of New York shall have hone fide consented to comply with the demand of the Executive of this State for tho surrender of Peter Johnson, Edward Smith, and Isaac Gansoy, as fugi tives from justice, (and that the law of New York of the sixth of May, eighteen hundred and forty, entitled 'an act to extend the right of trial by jury,' has been repealed by that State.)" NORTHREDI STEEL.—The Evening Jour nal publishes the report of Professor Em mons, the State Geologist, upon the nature and qualities of the native steel embedded in the soil of Franklin county. The com bined evidence of scientific investigation and practical tests, confirm the impression that the steel found in that region is a genuine article. "Such being the fact," says the Journal, "we have n treasure of far greater intrinsic value than gold or silver. It is impossible to calculate the value of this mine, or to anticipate the influence it is to have upon the manufacturing interests of the country. An intelligent merchant who entertains doubts of its reality, remarked to us that if it was genuine steel, for the article of axes alone it was more valuable than the estate of Stephen Girard or John Jacob Astor."—N. Y. Times. SILK.—But few persons nre aware of the valus of the importations of silk into this country. The Journal of the ,American Society, says that the importation of silk into the United States,during the year ct,d• ing 30th of September, 1839, amounted to nearly twenty three million of dollars Compared with other articles imported, that of silk is one fourth more than the amount of any other. The amount of manufactures of cotton imported, was 814,692,397; of iron, $12,051,663; of cloth and cassimers, $7,078,906; worsted stuffs, $7,025,898; other manufactures of wool, 83,567,161; ono half the value of silks and worsted stuff+, $1,169,042; total woollen goods, $13,834,. 90. The importations 61 sugar amounted to $9,924,632; linen, $6,731,278. So that the importation of silk nearly equals that of woollens and linen together, and is equal to half of the other fabrics combined. THE UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRI TAIN.—The Quebec Gazette hasa iddiCiOUS article on this subject, stating the belief that while a war between Great Britain and the United States is not impossible, yet it is not an event that will speedily occur. 1. There are no sufficient grounds for a war. There is nothing in the matter in dispute which may not be arranged by am. icable negotiation, or decided by reference to a third party 2. They will not even have the common excuse of aggrandizement and gain. It is not probable that either one can force the other to yield. The enlight. ened men of all countries and future histo. Hans will condemn two nations so intimately connected by language, institutions, man. ners,' customs, and intercourse, if they go to war upon these or similar difficulties.— Salem Gazette. ExTRA SESSION9.—The following extra sessions of Congress have been culled since the organization of our Government: John Adams was inaugurated on the 4th of March, 1797. He convened Congress, May 16, 1797. His first anuual address was delivered, Nov. 23, 1797. Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated the 4th of March, 1901. He ordered a called session Oct. 17, 1803. James Madison was inaugurated the 4th of March, 1809. He convened Congress May 23, 1809, also on the 25th May,lBl3. Martin Van Buren was inaugurated the 4th of March, 1837, and convened Congress the 4th of Sept. 1837. William Henry Harrison was inaugura ted on the 4th of March, 1841, and convo• ned Congress on the 31st of May, 1641. ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.— We have, aforetime, recorded many romantic and af. feeling incidents which have become histo ry through the medium of the inquisitions held by the Coroner of this city; and per. haps a majority of those investigations, if they could bo sifted to the bottom, would developb connected circumstances out of the dull and ordinary course of every day life. But cases of loafers found floating in our docks, have generally more of the dis gusting than the romantic in their composi. :ions. The case which forms the hurthen of the following veritable narrative of facts, howeve( is a striking exception to that gen eral rule. The story became known to the Sunday News, and is told in the following manner in the last number of that journal: —New York sun. "Married, on Tuesday, by the Rev. Wil liam Ash, Thomas Mowitt to Charlotte Conroy, both of this city." The above marriage was consummated in this city on last Tuesday week, and thereby hangs a tale which may be worth the attention of the lovers of the marvellous. Mr. Mowitt is a respectable shoemaker, who keeps several men employed, and among the rest was one named John Pel sing, who had ingratiated himself so much in his favor by his faithfulness, industry and sobriety, that he took him in partnership about three years since, and had no cause to regret his kindness. From that period Mr. Mowitt and Mr. Pe!sing were constant friends and companions, and boarded in the same house until about twelve months since, when one day they were subrcened for a coroner's inquest which was about to be held on the body of a man that had been taken out of the Maiden Lane dock. The deceased had all the appearance of having been a regular dock loafer, and it was the opinion of all er mien! that he had tallen into the slip while in a state of intoxication; but the verdict—which was given in a few min utes—was merely "found drowned." The jury being dismissed, Mr. M. turned round to look for his friend end fellow juror, who had been at his side till that moment, but he had gone; and' he thought he saw him running at almost full speed up Maiden Lane. This struck hi :I1 as being curious, and it also reminded him of another curious fact, (at least curious as taken in connection with his sudden flight,) namely, that when Mr. Pelsing had first glanced at the face of the corpse, he started, and turned deadly pale. Mr. M. then proceeded to his board ing house, and thence to his store to look for his partner, but he was to be found at neither; nor did he return that night; nor the next; nor the next; and two months passed away without bringing any intelli gence of him, during which time Mr. Mo. witt had fully made up his mind that there was some mysterious connection between his friend and the man that was found drown ed, and that, in consequence thereof, Mr. Pelsing had in all probability made away with himself. Well, so matters rested until a certain day in last June, when a lady called at Mr. Mowitt's store, and asked for Mr. Pelsing. She was told the particulars of his story. "And has'nt he been here since," she inqui red. "Not since," replied Mr. Mowitt.— "I know he has," said the lady. "Ho hae not, I assure you, at least to my knowledge." answered Mr. Mowitt. "But I am psi. tive," said the lady. "What proof have you of it," inquired the shoemaker. "The best in the world," returned the stranger, for 1 am here, and I and Mr. Pelsing are one and the same person. And strange as it may appear, such was the actual fact. • Well, the question then was,whet her Mr. Peking was a gentleman, or a lady, and it turned out that she was a lady, and more than that, her name wasn't John Pelsing at all, but Charlotte Conroy, and furthermore, that she was the widow of the man that had been found drowned. She then stated that her husband, who was a shoe maker in Philadelphia, and to whom she had been married for about two years, had treated her very badly, the consequence of which was that she picked up his ti ado by stealth, and when she thought she was sufficiently p-rfect, equipped herself in men's clothes, and ran off to this city to be the more safe ly out of the reach of her lord and master. Here, as we have seen, she got into the em ployment and remained in the confidence of Mr. Mowitt, until the time of the coroner's inquest, immediately after which she pro ceeded to Philadelphia, where she learned that her husband (who had become a wan dering loafer,) had, on the hint of some friend, set out for New York, about a week before, to look for her; but where, instead of nn injured wife, he found a watery grave. The upshot of this romantic affair was, that Mr. Mowitt requested Mrs. C. to make his house her home; that after a while he found that he liked her yet better as Mrs. C., than as Mr. Pelsing; .that by virtue thereof, he proposed a renewal of their terms of partnership, which was accepted; and that on last Tuesday week Mr. Mowitt and the late Mr. John Pelsing became hus band and wife This is the first instance we believe on record wherein a wife performed the offico of a coronor's juryman on the body of her own husband, or wherein a young man was m-irried to his own master. The lad 3, by the way, is very good looking, and still on the safe side of thirty. MORE RIOTS AT KENSINGTON.—On Mon day night, between one and two thousand people assembled near the stone bridge in Kensington, and destroyed several hundred feet, of the road between the bridge and the depot. The right to use the road through that district was granted to the Philadelphia and Trenton Rail Road Co. for a consider ation for a number of years. It appears that time has expired, and tho people thinkling a legal process quite too tardy, proceeded to, destroy what many of them considered a nuisance. Hitherto they have.prevented the Company from lay ing the,rails on the new route, and now they have begun the demolition of the old one. Emboldened by their former success, they are now entering upon new atrocities. As this part of the city does not coma under the jurisdiction of Philadelphia, and the police there being inefficient, unless some special effort of the citizens is made, they are, or will be, in 1 state of anarchy, and liable to be ridden ov3r rough shod by a lawless mob.— Phila. Worth Amirican. GREAT FRESHET IN THE SOUTH•-- Charleston papers of the 13th instant give accounts\ of a freshet in that section of coml. try, which had already done grelt damage, and there where apprehensions that it would be much worse. At Hamburg the water was very high, and rising at the rate of 18 inches an hour—a considerable portion of the town was under water.

Mor ning Chroi,icle, a patent has been actually taken out for paving the streets of London, with India rubber, and many scientific per•. sons are sanguine as to its success. There is to be a substratum of wood, on which is to be put a coating of cnoutehouc, mixed with iron filings and saw dust to a. depth or several inches. This, it is calculated, will resist the ill influence of all weathers, and make the most delightful and durable pave ment.

B pun LIC AN B Axxx R. GETTYSBURG, Illarclk 30. 11841. Democratic Candidate FOR GOVERNOR, JOHN BANKS , OP BERKS COUNTY. 1/Po aro indebted to MC98113. SH YR ER and F AIMS, Of the Legislature, for various public documents. The Bank Bill. Tt will be observed, by reference to our Harris burg correspondence, that the Bank Bill which has been under discussion for some time, has passed both Houses of the Legislature, and needs but the signature of the Governor to become a law. Wo will give the bill in our next. The Contest of 18411. An Extra Session of Congress has been celled to convene on the 31st day of May next; and be tween this time and that, elections for members of Congress aro to bo held in eleven States. Are our friends in those States animated by a proper zoal;—or is there a lukowarntness prevailing amongst thorn, such as is always the forerunner of disaster? Tho victory achieved by our party last year, was the result of an activity which had been awa kened and stimulated by the abuses of the party then in power. Lot us not continuo our exalta tions on account of that victory until defeat again overtakes us. That victory will have availed the country notbing,if wo suffer ourselves to be thrown into the minority at the coming elections. An opposition majority in Congress, would cripple all the efforts of the administration to restore pros perity to the country. Let our friends, therefore, arouse from the 41po'L+;• bto which wo fear they have fallen; put on once more their armor, and fight the approaching battle with the same gallon. try which distinguished them in the last, and we shall secure another victory which is necessary to render the former one available. The measures which will be brought before the next Congress, will be of the very highest impor tance to the country. Its prosperity—we hazard nothing in asserting—will depend upon their adop tion. Tho Sub• Treasury law, so repugnant to the interests of the poor man, is to bo repealed; a low enacted to distribute the proceeds of the sales of the public lands amongst the States; a tariff law to bo passed; and some schemes to be devised for the regulation of the currency, rendered so worth less by the experiments of the lute administrations. To effect these '108401)1(i - objects we must have a majority in Congress, and to this end should our friends exert themselves in those States which have yet to elect their members. For Pennsylvania let there he no roars. Her old veterans will ho in the field—those men who never faltered in any contest, however unequal, from 1829 up to the consummation in 1840. Tho same men who broke down_ the spore than 53,000 majority opposed to us, again lead tho van. Of these dons BANKS was ono. It is not often that the old and faithful are rewarded; the newer con verts, the more eager proclaimers of their own services, often succeed in making themselves con spicuous, and without any other merit than pre sumption, succeed in palming themselves upon heedless constituents. But in ions BANns, true merit and long services in the cause of the coun try aro united; and those were so prominent, that the nomination was awarded to him with unex ampled unanimity. Of his triumphant election we feel but little doubt; that his administration will restore the credit and prosperity of the State we have none. Venality and corruption such as disgrace the present administration, and the cha racter of the State itself, will find no countenance from him; and guilt will not he emboldened, by the assurance of pardon in advance, to tear up the order and peace of society.

Taxation. Many subjects have lately been proposed for taxation. An exchange paper suggests the pro. priety of causing a tax to bo laid on "brains ; " every man to be his own assessor. Rather a poor source of toren ue, we should think; and collector*, no doubt would have much difficulty in finding in dividuals in possession of the materials taxable. Even then, in many instances, the property if sold would scarcely pay the taxes. A tax is also proposed on "courtships." Now, these are very justly said to be quxuries;" and we doubt not that a tax judiciously laid upon them would prove is Le a fruitful source of revenue. Our word for we will not murmur.

A good seNction, FROM HARRISBURG. Correspondence of the Gettysburg Star and Banner lIAURIMUUUG, March 22, 1841. Dear Sir:—At an early hour this morning, the House proceeded to the second reading and con sideration of the resolution for the final adjourn ment of the Legislature on the 24th inst. Vari ous attempts were made to postpone the further consideration of the subject until some future pe riod, but without success. A motion was then made to amend the resolution by striking out the 24th March and inserting the 15th April, which being under consideration, a motion was made to amend the amendment by striking out the 15th April and inserting the Bth day of April; the, amendment to the amendment was agreed to, but before the question was taken on the amendment as emended, a motion to postpone the further con sideration of the subject until Saturday next was agreed to, when, in all probability another day will be consumed without coming to a conclusion. Very little else beside was transacted to-day. A number of local bills were passed to-day.— The bill to incorporate the American Sunday School Union was negatived on second reading by a very decided majority. The Bank bill has not yet been taken up, it is generally understood that on to-morrow the House will get to work in earnest on the currency ques tion. Your's, &c. Ilianienußo, March 24, 1841 Dear Sir:—The House considered on second reading to-day the Bank bill passed by the Senate, as it came from the committee on hanks in the House. The bill as reported by the committee on banks in the House differs very materially from the bill as it passed the Senate. A number of amendments were mode to the bill on second reading, amongst the most important is that which prohibits the system of voting by proxy under any circumstances. The bill repeals, as it passed on second reading, all penal enactments tending to work 'a forfeiture of charter upon a failure to redeem in gold or sil ver on demand any of their notes when presented. lt, authorizes the issue of small bills to an amount not exceeding fifteen per cent. on the capital stock actually paid in. 'rho dividends of non-specio paying banks aro restricted to five per cent. per annum, and the amount of loans to Directors is restricted to a certain amount named in the bill. The foregoing are amongst the most important features of the bill. The question pending when the House adjourn ed was an amendment of Mr. Lusk adding to the end of the bill a new section, to the effect that if the benefits of the act are to extend to the bank of the United States, the capital shall be reduced to fifteen millions of dollars and its name changed from that of the United States Bank of Pennsyl vania to that of the State Bank of Pennsylvania.— The question to-morrow will of course be on the amendment. The locos very generally voted against the bill, and Mr. Johnston of Armstrong supported some sections, and opposed others. The House was full, ninety-seven pombers being in attendance. ITAIIIIISDURG, MOTCII 25, 1841 Dear Sir:—The amendment of Mr. Lusk pen ding yesterday evening when the House adjourn ed was negatived,and an amendment of Mr. Gratz reducing the capital of the bank of (ho United Suites to fourteen millions, and repealing so much of the act incorporating the bank as requires the bank to loan to the State seven millions of dollars at four per cent. was adopted, yeas 51, nays 45, provided the bank is willing to accept the proposi tion. Several other amendments were adopted, and the bill was then ordered to bo prepared for the third reading. An effort was made to dia. pense with the rule which prohibits the reading of bills twice on the same day, for the purpose of finally passing the bill, as this requires two thirds, it was disagreed to, and the House adjourned. liAnnienuno, March.,27, 1841. Dear Sir:—The Senate have just this moment concurred in the amendments made by the Houso to the Bank Bill. So it now depends upon the Governor whether the people aro to have relief or not. The Legislature have done their part. Whether the Governor will do his, or according to his usual practice, veto the Bill, remains to be seen. For my part, I fear he will veto it; God forbid that I should be right in this. Your's &c. APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT. Robert C.

Ran dall and Jones have delivered opinions in relation to the suits against the U. S. Rink, favorable to that Institution. The opinion of Judge King is published in the Inquirer of Tuesday and is very lengthy. The In quirer makes the following remarks on the subject: CHARTERED RIGHTS.—The important opinion of Judge King, in relation to the ci tation cases of the United States Bank, in serted in the preceding columns, has crow ded out several articles intended for this morning's paper, and among them, the re port of %V. B. Reed's Lecture. It will be seen that this opinion is in favor of the ground taken by the Bank—to wit, the un constitutionality of the citation law, or reso lutions of the Legislature,passed April 15th, 1840, so far as the same affect the Bank of the United States. It is sustained by the highest authority and most powerful argu ments, and it is believed to be one of the ablest opinions ever delivered cn that bench. Judges Randall and Jones also delivered separate opinions, concurring in principle. which will appear in our pages hereafter. MAsen 23. TnEitsunt NOTEB.—Gen. Miller of Ad ams, submitted a resolution to the Senate yesterday, recommending to Congress pass an Act directing the issue of 8-30 or 100,000,000 in Treasury Notch, to be - paid to the different States in proportion to their representation in Congress, as an advance. ment to their respective shares of the public domain; and to lay a Tariff on luxuries, to supply the deficiency in the Treasury s occasioned, and , to save the country from a ruinous drain of specie by foreign Govern. ments. We do not know how about Gov. ernment shm plaFeers,but we should like our portion of the one hundred millions at this particular time, very well, indeed.—Har. Chronicle. GOVERNOR OF VIROINIA.—The resigns• tion of Gov. Gilmer, devolves the duty of the Governor on the senior member of the Executive Council. J. M. Patton (W.) is now the senior member, and will act till the 31st inst. when his previous term expires. Col. John Rutherford (L. F.) then becomes the senior Councillo'r, and will be the acting Governor. From the Savannah Republican, March 17 GOOD NEWS FROM FLORIDA.—Tho stea mer Iris, Capt. Pitcher, arrived last eve ning from Black Creek. To the attention of one of our correspondents we are enabled to lay before our readers the following grati fying news of the capture and surrender of a large number of Indians. "Capt. Ker, 2d Dragoons, a day or two since took twenty•one Indians with their chief, Koxa Tustenuggee. Twenty old Indians came in a few days ago at Fort Fanning, and gave themselves up. Yours. &c. Wild Cat has been in at Tampa and gone out to bring in his people end letters to-night say that ninety men were sent out on the 11th, to escort ninety old warriors on their way in. About four liumirsd Indians ire already at Tampa waiting to be shipped—in fact every ono writes that the war is over. SILL LATER FROM FLORIDA.- By the steamer Gen. Taylor,Capt. Peck, the above inteU~gence is confirmed. MELANCHOLY DISASTER. -By a letter from Pensacola, dated 9th inst., wo learn with regret that the body of GEORGE R. Mosntn, Esq., of the house of Reynolds & Mosher, of Baltimore, was fot:A on the shore, nearly opposite Pensacola. It appears by the lector that he had taken passage in a small vessel at Apalachicola for New Orleans, which vessel foundered in a gale, and it is supposed all on board perished. On Mr. M's person wore found a gold watch, considerable money and several valuable papers; and his body was to be in terred the next day at Pensacola.—Balt. Patriot. Your's, Sc MORE DEFAULTERS.-It is stated in the Richmond Star, on the authority of private advices, that the Assistant Post Master at Abingdon, in that State, John W. Stevens, had been detected in plundering the Post Office at that place. Ho was caught with letters in his coat sleeve, which contained money, and it is supposed that he has oper ated pretty largely in that way. He was arrested upon the charge, and lodged in Wythe jail. The accused has hitherto borne a very high character, and the dis covery of his villany has created a great sensation among those who knew him." Gov. GILMER OF VIROINIA.-Our apr mises as regards the resignation of this gen tleman were correct. The Baltimore A merican in explanation tells us, that the resolution expressing the disapprobation of the Legislature at his refusal to surrender the fugitive demanded by the Gov. et New York, was passed by a large majority in the House and unanimously in the Senate— accompanied however by expressions of high respect for his motives and of admi ration for hispatriotism. The Governor's resignation was sent to the two Houses on the same day. It must be admitted that the action of the Legislature of Virginia in passing the Inspection Bill, by which the first example of retaliation was set in the controversy with New York, affords a sort of precedent for the further act of Gov. Gilmer, which, he maintains, is only carrying out the same principle. The Legislature took the quar rel into its own hands as though the two States were sovereign, independent com munities, without a common bond of Union and a common Government to which both owed allegiance. Tho Governor proceeded upon the same view. In his case' the dia. regard of the Constitution was more palpa ble and direct than in the other; and the Legislature disapproved. It can n ot be concealed that the reproofeamo with a bad grace from them, although wo wore glad to see it; for it indicated a sincere desire to obey the requirements of the Constitution ....b. 0 &Pm.. "PILATKA, March 14 which were not knowingly disregarded in the passage of the Inspection Bill. We say not knowingly disregarded—for it is a common thing to bo blind to faults in our selves, and to bo able at the same time to discover the same with great clearness in another. With regard to the legislative act, too, a difference of opinion may be enter tamed concerning its constitutionality—al though we have not much doubt about it ourselves. But in the Executive proceed ing the disregard of the Constitution in un equivocal, and undeniable. The resignation of Gov. Gilmer is much to be regretted; but it would have been a matter of far greater regret if tho cause which produced his resignation had been withheld. The sentiment of the Legisla ture, viewed in itself and apart from its implied inconsistency with their former act, was noble and magnanimous; honorable tp Virginia and to the country. OUNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN. — The despatches received by our Govern ment, by the Caledonia, are reported to be entirely of a pacific character: The ex citement at first occasioned in England, on hearing of the arrest of McLeod, was sub siding at the last dates thence; and looking to those now in power, there is no cause to apprehend that the negotiations between the two countries, in this as in other mat ters in question, can have other than a peaceful termination.—Bait. Pat. HOSPITALITY OP THE WHITE HOUSE.- The IVashington Correspondent of the New Haven 4t9adium, speaking of the Presi dent, says; "Ho keeps his house open to all corners. In spite of the terrible throng which'beset him for a while, 'the string of his door has never been drawn thro'.' lie is a little less pressed upon than he was lately, though they have not by any means done coining yet. The servants at the White House House find more difficulty in adapting themselves to the change of Ad• ministration than any other office holders. He breaks in on all the elegant aristocratic usages of the palace, and plays the mischief with that systematic courtly etiquette which, with the Sub-Treasury constituted the two great radical reforms of the late President. He gets up at sunrise, like a plain farmer as he is, and wants his breakfast within an hour after, (the vulgar man!)—and eats with the appetite of a common day laborer. He gave one of his servants a regular 'blow ing up' the other day, for leaving a visitor dripping wet and muddy in a cold 'anti• chamber,' because the President was at breakfast and could not be disturbed, and because the carpet would be injured by the muddy feet of one who came on foot! The President brought the visiter into the break fast parlor, and insisted on making him com fortable at the fire at once.. At all these things the democracy aro much shocked, and look aghast at this desecration of the 'palace!' " TAVERN Licrssts.—The following is the bill relative to Tavern Licenses, as it passed bath 'Houses of the Legislature: AV, ACT supplementary to the various acts relating to tavern licenses. SucrioN 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania in General As. sembly met, and et is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That every person intending to apply for a tavern license in any city or country of this Commonwealth, from and after the first day of April next, shall give public notice of the same by at least three publications in two newspapers where the application is made in any of the cities, and in one whore the application is made in any of the counties of this common wealth, (if so many there be in said city or county, or if there be no newspaper pub. fished, then by printed handbills, to be post ed throughout the township in six of the most public places, of which fact an affida vit, together with a copy of the printed no tice, shall be attached to the application) which publication shall bo made nearest the place where such tavern is intended to be kept, and shall embrace the certificate re quired by the fourth section of the act pas sed the eleventh day of March, one thou• sand eight hundred and thirty-four, entitled an act relating to inns and taverns, and so forth, the last of which publications shall be at least ton days before the first day of the term of the court to which tho application shall be made. SECTION 2. That the price of a license to keep an inn or tavern shall be as fol lows, viz: ten dollars for one year, in all cases where the adjusted valuation of the yearly rental of the house and the property occupied, to be occupied for that purpose, shall not exceed ono hundred dollars; in all cases exceeding ono hundred dollars and not above two hundred dollars, fifteen dol lars; in all other cases, the sum of fifteen dollars and the additional sum of four per cent. on the rental above the hundred dol lars; and so much of the tenth section of act of March eleventh, one thousand, eight hun dred and thirty-four as is supplied by this act, is hereby repealed. SECTION 3. No house of entertainment shall be construed to be an inn or tavern, under the provisions of the laws of this Commonwealth,except such as retail vinous, spirituous or other strong drinks, and the twelfth section of the act of March eleventh one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four, to which this is a supplement, be and the same is hereby repealed. SECTION 4. II any person shall be con. victed under the provisions of the 'act or the act to which this is a supplement, of retail ing vinous,spirituous or other strong liqours by less measure than one quart without li cense, such person shall be fined in a sum not less than twenty, or more than one hun dred dollars. YANKEE ENTERPRISE.-A late English paper states that one of tho American ships at Calcutta, recently landed 400 tons of ice, which sold at the wholesale rate of one pen ny per pound . , netting a profit, exclusive of port daties, of upwards of £3,700 sterling. SIIAD.—Four fine shad, the, first of the season, were taken at Staten Island on Mon afternoon, and'sold at the Fulton Market, N. Y. for 84 a piece. Thus are these New Yorkers served.— We in Balinnore have had them so long that the novelty is altogether eaten oft Bull. Pat. BLEEDING ALWAYS IDIPIIOPED.—For the Life of the Flesh is in the blood. With as much reason might we say, that trees die from too great a quantity of sap, as that a man can die from too great a quantity of blood. The moisture derived from earth, to the tree becomes sap, and the stomach of a man from the food put into it obtains blood, which supplies the daily waste of the body. The same causes tend to life in both. Dr. Benjamin Brandreth considers bleed ing always improper in the treatment of any complaint, whether inflammatory or otherwise; because the Brandreth ;Vegeta ble Universal Pills remove the cause of the inflammation without touching the vital principle. Harken to the voice of reason and expe rience, ye who are now the friends of 'this fatal practice, bleeding, learn, that purlga• ton is the only sure road to health; because it lessons the quantity of blood,, and leaves what remains richer. Thus the - crassa montum oxygen is left, which is indeed the lifeof the blood, the watery part oftbAlood, being only that which is dis Charged by purgatives. Think of this, yeu. whosecon stitutions are inclined to plethora, and in time purge with that most innocent of all purgatives, tho farfamed Brandreth Vege table Universal Pills. They are known to act on every part of the bodyAeing taken up by chyle they pass into the blood, which they purify; and it should be remembered that they remove only those watery parts from the blood which were the cause ‘itif inflammation. Nothing is equal Pi) ridding the vitiated humors with a vegetable medi cine of this kind, which eigl•ty-four years have proved never to do injury, but always good.

For $l5 forty copies to not more than four. For 85 twelve copies to one address. This will afford over twenty five per cent to agents for their trouble, and as every one can procure one hundred or more sub. scribers, in their own neighborhood, he will be doing a fair business in these hard times. Any one to make it a business for n month could procure two or three thou. sand at least, as no body will refuse to pay fifty cents for a paper for six months during so exciting a campaign as the approaching one will undoubtedly be.
