HIS INAUGURATION The three days previous to his Innugu• ration, atter his arrival in Washington, were mostly spent at the Mansion of the Mayor of the city, where he received at all hours of the day the visits of his friends and fellow-citizens. The urbanity of his man ners, the open-hearted frankness with which he received the congratulations of his friends, deeply impresed all impartial and disinterested persons et the Capitol with the confident assurance, that he was about to enter upon the high office,ta which he 11413 bean called, with a single heart and porpo.ie to discharge and faithfully 'execute tl .inpiritaiit trust.

After taking the oath of office, and ha vi g delivered his Inaugural Addross, he returned from the Capitol to the President's Mansion amid the inerevtoed acclamation of nearly flirts/ thousaild of his admiring countrymen, who there tendered him their cordial congratulations. Thus passed away the joyous day of hia political triumph, none suspecting that in one short month the whole scene would be changed; that GOD was preparing to summon him away from the height of his earthly glory, we trust to a more exalted station at his right hand. HIS RELIGIOUS CHARACTER. The next morning (the sth of March) Gem HARRISON walked down on the aven• ue and purchased a Quarto Bible and Book of Common Prayer, which he carried home with him, and directed the servant to place in hie bed room; where I saw them on the night of his death—thereby indicating that he had chosen that Holy Book for the rule of hie faith and guide ofhis life in the exe cution of the important trust committed to his charge. The Bible he was seen read ing every morning and late every evening. In his first letter to Mrs. Harrison, after his Inauguration, he states that, after he had returned from the Capitol to the Pre sident's Mansion, as soon as he could com mand any-time, he retired to his room and fell down upon his knees before his Maker, thanking him for all his mercies, and sup plicating his gracious guidance in the faith ful discharge of the duties of his high station to his country and his God. On Sunday morning, the 7th, Benjamin Harrison, Esq. of Virginia, at the request of the President, called at my house, desir ing to know whether he could be accommo dated with a pew for himself and family for that day, and expressing a wish to obtain the one recently occupied by Mrs. Madison —which the owner accorded to him. In the public worship of the church he con formed to all her rituals in the audible re sponses of the service, and, with that howll ity so expressive of devout feelings and humble devotion, bowed himself on his knees before the Majesty of Heaven, nod supplicated that mercy, of which as a sin ner, however highly exalted his station, he stood so much in need. Thus following the example of the pious rulers of Israel and the illustrious men in every age who have adorned the doctrine of God their Sa- viour.• The following day he purchased the pew, and regularly attended the service of the church every Sunday morning, until pre vented tty his last fatal sickness. His high regard For the Sabbath was suell, that, of late years, he always avoided iniv oiling on that holy day, unless from et)T , inte necessity; and during the short pe rl,,(l hr. occopied the President's Mansion rrfully avoided all company on that day, nod dined at an early hour, that he might te!,,i public worship in the afternoon with hi 4 t;irn;ly, some of whom belonged to the co‘moutoir.o et the Presbyterian Church. His nigh estin,minn for the "people of Go.i" was maw nobly shown in kindness to ins Vlimsters. On a recent occasion, he said to a brother clergyman of mine, with horn he had bean for some time acquaint ed, whom ill iwalth prevented from the per to:mance of his clerical dinies,and on whom ho had within a few weeks conferred a vacant clerkship until his health would etia b:e him to resume the duties of his ministe !tat otlice: "I see no company on Sunday, and dine in a plain way; but i shall always to happy to see you at my table, for I love to hove the Clergy with me on Sunday." !n th!s connexion it may be proper to ewe that, at his own hospitable mansion at North Bend, when the infirm health of Mrs. Harrison would not allow her to attend public worship elsewhere, Gen. 11. would often obtain the services of a clergyman fin. the day, and remunerate him liberally. It has a ls o been stated to me by a member of the family that, some years since, he acci dentally became acquainted with a young Minister of the Methodist Church to indi gent circumstances, whose native talents am authorized from novestionable authority to Um, that the eloF , itig pa, t of.his 1111:lue;urn1 Address, erpr•ciully that part in which he so reverently expres ses hi* regard for tho Christiun Religion, was penned by bin) in roan in which he was born, and where be had often kneeled bee-id , his pious Mother. who iternoitly implored Iho riub b:onaing of Heaven on tab *lsm III:. %V. U. and powers of mind promised extensive use fulness if properly cultivated. Gen. I!. kindly invited him to become a member of his family, and offered him the use of his library until well prepared for the exercise of his ministry. This young clergyman is now a distinguished and successful laborer in the vineyard of our Lord. Of late years, notwithstanding bis hav• ing erected mostly at his own ,expense, a church in his immediate vicinity, yet, not being able to support a clergyman for the regular services of the church, he was in the habit of leaving home on Saturday after noon for the sole purpose of attending the church in Cincinnati, of which the Rev. J. T. Brooke is Rector, twice or thrice a day. He also frequently attended a stated weekly lecture. From the day of his Inauguration, it was his invariable practice to rise with the dawn of day, and, after reading the Scrip Lure, to take a - walk for exercise, and sel dom did he breakfast or dine without some old friend or acquaintance partaking of his hospitality. In this manner his whole time was occupied. Occasionally, if for a moment disengaged from his official duties, and the press of visiters, he would steal away from his family, and visit some of his acquaintance, with all that cordiality and generous good feeling so characteristic of the warm-hearted soldier and devoted friend. HIS DEATH With this brief notice of passing events, we come to the closing scene of the melon choly drama. On Thursday, the 25th of :►torch, in a ahem interview with him, he comploined of being quite unwell; and this iudisposition continued to increase until the exposure of his person in the morning walk of Saturday brought on a severe chill and fever, which the best medical skill could 11 , A arrest. No human power could stay the ravages of his disease. The commu nity generally, in this city, without distinc tion of party, manifested much anxiety for his recovery, and in great numbers daily and hourly called at his residence with anx ious inquiries respecting his sickness and its probable result. Its violent and exciting character seemed, in the opinion of his phy• sicions, to forbid the usual religious servi ces in his sick room, lest they might pro duce an unfavorable effect. On Saturdy evening,the 3d instant, about nine o'clock, on approaching his sick bed, his strength appeared to be rapidly failing and as little or no hope could be entertained of his recovery, a law of his friends united with me at his bedside in that "commenda. tory prayer for a sick person aethe point of departure" to another world, set forth in the service of the church, to which he ap peered to listen with silent attention and approbation. About thirty minutes before 1 o'clock, by the watch held in my hand; on the morning of the 4th of April, he gent ly breathed hie departing spirit into the hands of his God and Saviour, and sunk to rest without the movement of a muscle of his countenance, a struggle or a groan.— Thus, after one short month's elevation to the highest station and honours which earth can bestow, he has passed away from all the troubles, sorrows, and trials of mortali ty, / trust and believe, to the possession and enjoyment of an unfading crown of glory in the realms of Eternal Day. For, Whatever may have been his character and conduct in former years, of late at, evistent change had been observal --- )y hisiTifel l ids in favor of true religion. On Sunday evening I saw him In his winding sheet with a countenance mild and placid as when he expired. The next day,after being placed in his coffirl! the public were permitted a final, farewell look of the Chief Magistrate of this great Republic, the President of nearly twenty millions of people. ft is said that not less than ten thousand paid their respects to his lifeless remains. The sadness and gloom so obviously marked on all countenances now spoke the silent language of grief. The victim of death--the eminent personage who so re cently occupied the first place in the gift of his country, whispers in the voice of solemn stillness that the Great Destroyer has come among us; that the mighty con querer of man in every age, for nearly six thousand years, has winged his flight hither and felled to the earth one who had been distinguished in arms, in the councils of his country, and in all the excellencies of private life. How exalted that mark! How distin guished the object! How fatal the blow! The arrow was sped by the arm of Omni potence: the victim fell: he lies beneath the cold earth, to rise no more until the voice of the Archangel and the trump of God, on the morning of the resurrection, shat: call his reposing dust into spiritual life. For "the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised, incorruptible, and we shall be changed," and summoned to the final judg ment. In anticipation of this coming event, and of the awfully momentous consequences in volved in it, our deeply lamented departed friend was not unmindful of the needful pre paration. It has come to my knowledge that; for some years past, his mind has been deeply impressed with the important concerns of eternity, and that he had fre quently expressed his confident faith and hopes in the Gospel of the Son of God, and ' had been for some time desirous of uniting himself in communion with the church, and intended doing so as soon as the recent po litical excitement should have passed away, whether it terminated favorably to his ele• vation to the Presidential office or other wise. This holy purpose, it is understood, had he survived, was intended to be con• summated On Easter Sunday,but was denied him by the interposing hand of God,in whom he had placed his trust. 'Life makes the soul dependent on the dust; Death gives her wings to mount above the spheres, Life is the triumph of our mouldering clay; Death of the Spirit infinite, divine! His God sustains him in his final hour! His final hour brings ;tory to his God! htsn's ear) ILleer'n %outhunted to call her own." fflifia The groat number of communications re• ceived from different parts of the country, requesting information on the subject of the dernivi of the late President, rendering it out of my power to answer thorn all in a manner either satisfactory to them or to myself, has induced this communication for the inforo.atien of the clergy and the public at large. In preparing the above statement, it has been my object to collect all the incidents and facts that have come to my knowledge respecting the late President while in Wash ington—no one of which, singly, would be of sufficient importance to establish his Christian character; yet, when combined, they agreeably harmonize in manifesting the bent of his mind, and the ruling desires of his heart. May God, in mercy to the nation, over rule and sanctify this painful dispensation of his providence to the welfare and prosperi ty of his church, the cause of truo piety, and the establishment of hie kingdom among men! _ _ _ WM. HAWLEY, Reclor of Si. John's Church Washington, April 19, 1841. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. The steamer Great Western arrived at Now York on Saturday, at one P. M., hav ing left Bristol on the Bth inst. There is no news of importance. We regret to say that there is no news yet of the arrival of the President. The Liverpool papers think it probable that she had gone Southward to the Azores, for an additional supply of coal. If so she was scarcely due when the Western left. The accounts from the wheat counties represent the state of the crops to promise a tnost abundant harvest. The arrivals of foreign wheat and flour where large, grin cipally from this country and Canada. The over Lind India mail had nut arrived when the evening papers went to press on the 7th, but was due and hourly expected. There was another rumor, coining by way of Russia, on the 6th, that the China dispute had been adjusted, but it was not credited. Public opinion seemed to have settled down with the belief - that peace with this country will continue uninterruptod, and 'ho papers are chiefly discussing other sub jects. The packet ship North America had reached Live, pool with the latest news Iron' this country. The only comment we find relating to it, is the following: "The news relative to Mr. McLeod, and the prospect of his liberation, cannot be con sidered satisfactory. The reports regard ing his removal from Lockport to Albany, are altogether untrue; there is now little doubt but that his trial will take place at Lockport. The Attorney General has set off to Lockport, so as to be present at the trial. "lie is provided with an authenticated copy of the despatches from our own gov ernment, and upon the ground of our avow• al of the destruction of the Caroline, he will request Mr. McLeod'e release. The At torney General of the State of New York has been sent to Washington with an ox. plicit and decided answer as to what will be done by that State." In the House of Commons, on the 7th instant, Mr. Flume rose to move for a copy of the correspondence between the legation of the United States in London, and the Secretary of State for the Foreign Depart ment, in relation to the destruction of the steamboat Caroline. Lord Palmerston requested him, in re spect to the state of the House, and the ex cited feelings prevailing on the subject, to postpone a discussion which might have a tendency to prevent the affiiir being brought to that amicable termination which bcth Governments desire. Mr. Hume said that no man was more anxious than himself to avoid the evils of war; and that after what he had just heard, he rould consent to postpone his motion till after the recess. The London Standard or the evening of the 7th inst. makes this comment. We entirely concur in the suggestion of Lord Pahnerston last night in the House at Commons as to the unadvisablenese of a compliance with Mr. Huine's officious re lative to the Caroline. Every body but Mr. Hume must be satisfied of the inexpedi ency of such a demand. There is evident ly an anxious dosire on the part of both governments to bring the matters at issue which the courso proposed by Mr. Ilume, of raising a discussion on the subject, might, and in elk probability would, tend to embar rass. After the wise and judicious recom mendation of Lord Palmerston, Mr. Hume did well to withdraw his motion, seeing that is was next to impossible that he could have found any one, save his friend and patron, M r. O'Connell, to second it. Mr. Labouchere's resolutions, substitu ting a uniform ad valorem duty of 7 per cent. upon imports into the West Indies, were ag reed to. The House of Commons adjourned on the evening of the 7th till the 20th, for the Eas ter hollidays. The Court Do Surveilliors, Joseph Bona parte, has been alarming LONDON, April 7. The President steamer has not been board of, and the greatest alarm prevails regarding her; yesterday insurrances upon her were effected so high as 20 per cent. premium, and more will probably be deman ded to day. Beyond the usual mails from the continent, we have no foreign arrivals, and nothing in the shape of news is 'Airing. Rims, April s.—lt seems certain that Mr. Guizot has of the mediation of France to terminate the differences existing between Great Britain and the United State s . We cannot, however, believe that ,Ir. Guizot, net content with offering his services as mediator, has threatened the Uriited States, as n journal affirms that be has, with an armed intervention. Prance 1 invading the United States in favor of f;ng• lend! -It is an idea too fabulous to be en. terhined, even by the men who abandoned Egypt to the mercy of the . powers.—Le Courrier Francais, April, 5. This report of mediation seems to have been founded only upon a Paris letter in the London Globe. The armed intervention spoken of by the Courrier Franck, was n barn invention of the French editor. The letter in the Globe intimated no such thing. MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC MEM BERS OF THE LEGISLATURE. At a meeting of Om Democratic ['aril. son Members of the Senate and House of Representatives, of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, held April 26, 1841, for the purpose of expressing their confidence in the present Chief Magistrate of the Union, and their views in relation to the policy of the National Administration. NER M ID DLES ARTH was appointed Chairman and Gno. R. SMITM and Wm. lixEsTER, Secretaries. On motion of Mr. Williams, tho follow ing gentlemen wore appointed a committee to prepare resolutions expressive oftho sense of the meeting, viz: Messrs. Williams, Reed and Pearson of the Senate,and Messrs. Lnw, Cox, Sinysor and Miles of the House. After some time the committee made the folio Ning report through their Chairman, Mr. Williams. Resolved, That while we feel deeply, in common with the people whom we repro. sent, the groat calamity which has befallen this nation, in the death of its late lamented Prosieent, wo have at the same time, the most undoubting confidence in the ability and integrity of his successor, and are as• sured by the tone of his address, us well as by the manner in which he has entered upon the performance of his high duties, that he will so administer the Government as to carry out the wishes and opinions of those who elected him, and leave to them no regrets, except such as are merely person alt.) the distinguished patriot, who has just departed from amongst us. Resolved, That the retention in office of the distii.guished gentlemen selected by the late President, and associated with him in the administration of the Government, has met with the approbation of the people of this State, and is deservedly regarded as an earnest of the determination of his succes sor, to adhere to that course of policy which dictated their selection, and had already so strongly reinforced his claims upon the con fidence of the nation. Resolved, That we fully recognize the necessity, and as fully appreciate the wis dom and patriotism which induced the con vcation of an extraordinary Session of Congress of the United Stated, for the pur• pose of providing means fur the support of the Government, repairing the unexampled waste and dilapidation which our common inheritance has suffered, und restoring as far as practicable to the people, the prosper ity of which they have been deprived, by the fraudulent and blundering mismanage. mont of the rulers whom they have just dis placed. Resolved, That it is the solemnly expres sed will of the people of Pennsylvania, that the act of Congress of the 4th of July, 1840, commonly known by the name of the Sub-Treasury Bill, was a departure from the true principles, as well as the past practice of this government, a recognition of a new and odious distinction between the government and the people—a surrender of a high trust, and an abandonment of an undoubted duty on the part of those who enacted it, and a dangerous addition to the powers of the Executive head, and that the same ought therefore to be repealed. Resolved, That we hold it to be an un questionable power and equally unquestion able duty on the part of the General Gov ernment, so to regulate the currency of the country auto counteract the mischievous effects of the multifarious, and in many in stances contradictory and conflicting legis lation of the several States of this Union to equalize the exchan g es and to secure to labor its just reward s—the more especially as the currency of the people has been de stroyed by its illl judged and unskilful at tempts to improve it when it was not im• proveable, and its ultimate abandonment and absolute denial for purposes of good, of an admitted power which it had never hesi tated to exercise for purposes of mischief. Resolved, That the process of direct tax ation is not, in the judgment of the people of Pennsylvania, a proper or legitimate moans fur the support of the General Gov ernment, except in the last resort, and that in as much as the wants of that Government imperatively require the imposition of ad ditional duties on articles of foreign growth or fabric, we are of the opinion that such duties ought to tall on such articles as may come into competition with the products of our own country, so as incidentally at least, if not directly, to protect the labor of our own citizens Emir' foreign pauper rivalry. and secure for it a recornpence which shall be worthy of those who are invested under our system with the high functions of self government. Resolved, That a fair distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, is claimed by the people of this State as an act of justice to those who have contribu• Led so largely to their acquisition, and have incurred so heavy a debt in the prosecution of improvements calculated in their effect to enhance the value of those lands them selves, and to draw still closer the bonds of our Federal Union. Resolved, That copies of these proceed• ings, signed by the officers of this meeting, be tiansmitted to the President of the Uni ted States, and the several Heads of De partments at Washington, and that the edi• tors throughout the State friendly to the present administration be requested to pub lish the same in their respective newspa. pers. NER MIDDLESWARTH, Chairman. G. Rusn SMITH, Secretaries. WM. 11 lESTER. The amount of Treasury notes outstand ing on the 3d ult. was $0 1 301,324 87. ====a MURDER, BURGLARY AND Assom.—Thi western papers bring a proclamation, issued by the Mayor of St. Louie, under the date of the 18th inst. in which it is stated that the Counting House of Mr. William G. Pettus, in that city, was forcibly entered on the night previous, two young men who slept there, murdered, the counting house vault or safe robbed, and the building after wards set fire to. The building was con• eutned, and also the roof of an adjoining house; and the vault of the counting house had cash in it at the time to the amount of about $200,000, which is supposed to have been carried of by the daring bug glers. The names of the clerks murdered are given as—Weaver and Jessy Baker. The body of Baker was found near the door of the building, with a shot through the head, and one of the hands maimed on the fingers. The Mayor of the city offers a reward of 85000 for the apprehension of the perpetrators of these daring nets, or such intormution as shall lead to their de tection and conviction. MORE OF VIE ST. LOUI3 MURDER AND ROBBERY.-Thtl St. Louis Republican of the 19th inst., contains more full details than those horetotbro published of the atro cious murder, robbery, and arson, commit. ted on the night of the 17th, in that city.— On that night, or rather early on Sunday morning, the Chime were seen bursting from the windows of a store on the corner of Pine and Wateestreets, occupied in front by Simonds and Morrison, and in the rear by Mr. Pettus,ae a banking house. It had been fired in several places. The alarm was given—the doors of the banking house forced, and the body of Jacob Weaver, a clerk of Von Phul & McGill, found, dread fully mangled with a hatchet or bowie knife, and the skull penetrated by a pistol hall. Near him lay the hat and handkerchief of Jesse Baker, clerk of Simonds& Morrison, but as his body could not be (build, it was supp.ised that it was consumed in the flames. The two young men were in the habit ()I lodging together in Pettus' banking l o use. Both were young men of excellent chortle ter, about 22 years of age. The house in which the fire origigated was consumed. Mr. Pettus lost all his books. At great personal risk; lie sated a drawer containing his bills receivable amounting to $200,000. His large vault was envel oped in flames and could not be approach ed. Simonds & Morrison's loss was 40 of $50,000. The store of Kennett, %Vitae & Co., was partly burned—loss from 10 to $15,000. A wall hill upon Ansell S. Kim ba!l, chief-engineer of one a the fire com panies, and crushed him to death. The reward of 85000 offered by the Mayor of St. Louis, for the detection of the perpetrators, was so offered at the in stance of a public meeting of the citizens. An additional reward of $3OO was offered by the St. Louis Fire Company. Several suspicious persons had been taken up the nest day, but alter examination were dis charged. The affair was still shrouded in darkness—though it is to be hoped the per petrators will not be able to maintain their concealment— for "murder will outl" A private letter to the Louisville Advertiser, states that (Mr. Pettus had obtained access to and opened his vault, and found every thing safe. Simonds & Morrison's iron sate was also unbroken. POSTSCRIPT. THE BODY OF BAKER FOIIND.-At 10 o'clock this morning the body of BAKER was exhumed from the ruins. It was found just below the door of the Bank vault, where it had doubtless, fallen when the floor gave way. The body is entire—the fleshy parts of the head and neck are entirely consumed leaving the bones down to the shoulders. He was wrapped up in a piece of sheet or canvass, and had his pantaloons on. The general conjecture from all the cir• cumstances, is, that the young men hear. ing the villains at work at the door of the vault, alter hie return to the store, went thither, and there they despatched him. It is impossible to give an idea of the excitement which pervades the city. All classes are shocked—alarmed, and with reason—at the enormity of the crimes. In the very hqprt of the city, the most re volting murders have been committed, and an attempt made to shroud the whole in dark ness by the total destruction of the house and all within it. Who is there who will rest quiet until the murderers are brought to justice?—St. Louis Republican. A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT—On Saturday night last, as the steamer South America was about 10 miles above Poughkeepsie on her trip to Albany, under full steam, the shaft broke, the conitect ing machinery gave way, tho piston was forced through the cylinder, at the top and bottom, scatteriing tho fragments of machinery in every direc tion. The steam rushed into the cabins, the passengers jumped out of their berths naked, and some were horribly scalded.— The steamboat Diamond came up soon af ter, and took the whole 97 passengers on board. They reached Albany about 10 o'clock A. M. yesterday, and the wounded were taken ashore. The Shacklobar, fulling, perhaps fifty feet from its place, passed through the deck of tho state-rooms, through the second leek, and striking a colored man belonging on the boat, severely wounded him in the head. The South America is a now and splen did boat, having made but three or four passages. for machinery is said to be literally a wreck; and the damage from $20,000 to $30,000. The following are the names of the per. sons injured: Mr. Conant, Ballston, Spa ; Mr. Glen. Schenectady, Mr. Jones, Rensselaer; Mr. Garwin, Troy; L. Taylor, do.; Solomon Smith, Fort Plain; George Warniek, • Am sterdam; James Steer, t-lartwick. Anoth• er, a resident of Hyde Perko, and left on buard. A colored man, a hand on board.

Hammond, biadt keeper in the Tr enPury Department. It furnishes accurate infor mation as to the cost, revenue and ',expen ditures of the several finished lines of the Canals and Railroads oldie commonwealth. The cost embraces the original enlist' nc t ion, such as work done, repairs before corn• plot inn, damages, enginaer ing c xpenses,&e. and the new work up to the Ist of Novesii ber, le4o. The revenue is made up of canal tolls, railroad tolls, rind motive power. 1 Tho expenditures consist of repairs, ordina• ry and extracrdinary, salaries of agents, motive power, locomotives, ropes, imple. &c.,—in short, all expenses necess arily attendant upon the operation of the works. The revenue and expenditures aro arranged for each financial year, from the Ist of November, 1820, to the Slat Otto-__ ber, 1840. The whole table has been pre pared from the °pint records. Thus wo learn that the Eastern division of the Pensylvania Canal, extending from Columbia to Duncan's Island—a distance of 43 miles--cost $1,734 958. Tha aggre gate revenue is $1,047,826. The aggro. ; gate expenditures, $422,805. In the year 1839-40, the revenue was 8142,671; and the expenditure, $05,681. The Juniata division of the Pennsylvania Canal, extends from Duncan's Island to Hollidaysburg., a distance of 130 miles. Cost, 82,437,334. Agzgregato revenue, 849 1 ,104.--Expenses 8592,180. Tho Western Division of the Pennsylva nia Canal extends from Johnstown to Pitts- ' burg, 105 miles. Cost $2,964,882. VS' hole reveta.), $897,013. Expenditures,s9B9- 834.

The Susquehanna Division or the Penn sylvania Canal, extends from Dinican's Is land to Northumberland, 39 miles. Cost 8967,874. Revenue $141,730. Expense 8314,253. The North Branch Division of the Penn sylvania Canal, extends from Northumber land to Lacicitwannock, 73 miles. Cost $1,491,894. Revcnuo,s63,ss9. Expense 8390,024. The West Branch Division oldie Penn sylvania Canal, extends from Northumber land to Dumisburg, 72 miles. Cost 81,708,- 579. Revenue, 00,859.

The Beaver Division of the Pennsylva nia Canal, extends from Beaver to Newcas tle, 25 miles. Cost 8522,259. The gross revenue 810,924. Expense, $139,082. The Columbia and Philadelphia, Rail Road extends from Columbia to Philadel phia, 82 miles. Cost 83,983,302. Gross Revenue, $2,030,329. Gross expenditure $1,883,998. The Allegheny Portage Railway extends from Hollidaysburg to Johnstown, a dis tance of 30 miles. Cost $1,783,176. Gross revenue, $856,955.

It will thus be seen that the state is in• debt on the receipts and expenditures, to say nothing of the interest on the cost of these works. The State Debt has been increased beyond the twenty millions above specified by the sums invested in unfinished improvements, in appropriations for benev olent objects, dr.c. In a financial point of view, our condition is wretched indeed.and the sooner the people know the whole truth. the better will it be for the present genet.. ation, as we!l as for posterity. LIODU ISLAND ELECTION.—The eters t ion for Governor, Lieut. Governor, mem bers of Congress, and of the Legislature, took place in Rhode Island yesterday. There was no regular opposition to the Whig candidates, with the exception of one Senator and sundry Assemblymen.

A RIIAST OF Ronnmts.—The Police 0111- cers of Baltimore have succeeded in arrest ing three persons whom they suspected of robbing the store of Messrs. Marriott and Hardesty. Their names are Thomas Scott, alias Thomas Walker, George Wil son, alias Alexander Dugan, and Hurry Brown. Thomas Scott, alias Walkermus arrested on Thursday last in Pratt street, and George Wilson. alias Dugan, was ar rested on Friday morning, in the house of Brown in Franklin street above Covo street. Brown made his escape through the back way. Tho two, after a hearing 'vier° Squire Snyder, were fully committed. The Clipper says:—“Wo understand that the mites and negotiable paper to the amount of about $50,000, and $1,287 50, indentified as part of that stolen, have been recovered. Twelve hundred and fifty dol lars of money was found in Walker's house, situated in an obscure place in the eastern part of the city, nisi $37 50 was fund on the persons of Weller and Dugan. Ths notes and papers were found in the Catho,2 lie burying ground at the western extremi ty of the city." The want of money is universal, and the smallest change wuuttl be acceptable. nr.Pun L1C11.17 nAN,Brza. IVI'S S S ISURG. Ditty 4, 1841.

SENATOR WILLIAMS ' EULOGY.-011 Siturde.y the 24th ult. Thomas Williams, Esq., Senator from Allegheny county, delivered an Eulogy on the life, character and services of the late Presi dent, in the House of Representatives of this State. The Governor, Heads of Departments, and members of both branches of tho Legislature wore present. The Harrisburg papers represent it to have boon a brilliant production. Another Veto.—The Ninth of the Series. On Friday last, "Bashi Rittenhouse Porter" returned with his objections the Bill for the relief of the contractors on the Gettysburg Rail Road Ho contends that the Commonwoatth ought not to pay interest on claims against her, and urges as a reason why, that she has never hitherto done it. Poor logic, truly! But what are the circum stances connected with this case? The claims of those persecuted men, two years since, wore ac knowledged to bo due; accordingly, at the session of 1838—'39, a bill was passed and became a law, authorizing a loan of $150,000 to be made, for the express purpose of paying them the money to which they were entitled, and justly acknowledg ed to .bo duo them. Tho loon was never taken, end we confidently believe, no effort was even made to obtain it, by those whose duty it was to have it taken; therefore the money was not paid as directed. Now, we ask any honest, liberal minded Pennsylvanian, if there is anything cx horbitant in the demand of those contractors.— Their claims are acknowledged to be due, and duo two years since, during all of which time they have been kept out of their money, and now, at this late day are denied the interest on that mo ney. They ask nothing more than even-handed justice, and is it not fair that their demand should bo paid, and paid promptly tool If, however, the loan authorized by the Legislature had been ta ken, and the money disbursed among the individ uals claiming it, the interest would certainly have been paid on it by the commonwealth; undoubt edly then, these contractors, who have been kept out of their money, should receive the interest.— But unfortunately for these Mimed men, the Bill alluded to, does not give the disbursing of the money to the Governa's favorite, Mr. Jacob Zieg ler, Superintendent of the Gettysburg Railroad, but requires it to be paid in a more direct manner out of the State Treasury! Here's the rub! It is not because this Bill allows interest to the con tractors, or creditors of the commonwealth, that it has met with the displeasure of this Veto King;— but because that his sycophantic, pliant tool, the Superintendent, is not permitted to disburse the money, and shave the contractors as he did on a former occasion! Thank Heaven, a day of retri bution is near at hand, in which David R. Porter and his co-plunderers will be made to feel the justly deserved indignation of an independent but much injured people.

Correspondence of the Gettysburg Star and Banner HARIIISISUITO, April 27, 1841 Dear Sirs—The amendment* by the Senate to Mr. Johnston's revenue bill were considered in the House to-day, a largo number of which were concurred in; but as the House non concurred in some of the Senate amendments committees of conference were appointed, consisting of Messrs. Johnston of A., Law, Cox, Wright and Barr of the House, and Messrs. Reed, Gibons, Pearson, Strohm and Kingsbury of the Senate., which will no doubt report a bill some time to•morrow. What the result will finally be, will in a great measure depend upon the character of the bill that may be reported by the committee of conferenee. Your's Stc.

PUBLIC MEETING Pursuant to public notice a very large meeting of the pauple wag held at the Ceuit-house, in the Borough of Gettysburg, on the evening of the 28th April, 1841. On motion, tho Hon. JOHN REED was elec ted President, the Hon. Gs.o. WILE. and Citrus- TIAN PICKINCi, Esq., Vice Presidents, and Col. ill. C. Clarkson and David Wink were chosen Secretaries. The object of the meeting was then stated in an eloquent and highly impressive manner by the President; after which the following preamble and resolutions wine offered by Thaddeus Stevens, Esq., and unanimously adopted: A bereaved nation mourn■ the loss of her be loved Chief Magistrate; having attained a good old ago, and reached the summit of earthly fame, he was summoned to the enjoyment of higher glo ry and purer happiness; although a gain to him, hie'death is a deplorable loss to the whole people, but especiAlly to his mourning family. With that family we deeply sympathize; but the sympathy of a nation should be expressed in acts, and not in words only: therefore, unanimously Resolved, That Congress be requested to grant to his personal representatives the full amount of the President's salary for thu whole term for which Gen. Harrison was elected. Resolved, That the Representative in Congress from this district, the Hon. James Cooper, be re• quested to present the foregoing preamble and re solution to the House of Representatives as early after its prganization as practicable. Resolved, That the above proceedings be signed by the officers and published in all the papers of the county, and a copy handed to the Hon. James Cooper. The meeting was then ably and eloquently addressed successively by Thaddeus Stovens,Esq. and the Hon. James Cooper. JOHN REED, Chairman. CIIIIISTIAN PICKING, V. Presidents. GEOBOE WILL, .M. C.

We learn from the National lntellig'ii gencer, that President Tyler .received the Diplomatic Body on Saturday, at two o'cloc at ihe President's Mansion. In the absence of the British Minister, Mr. Fox, (who, we are sorry to say, was kept away by indisposition,) the Russian Minister, Mr. Bodtsco, appeared at the head of the corps. We give below his address to the President, on behalf of him. self and his colleagues, and tha President's reply. As the members of the Body were re spectively presented, the President spoke to each of them of the relations, present or past, between his country and the United States, and of his hope of the continuance of amicable relations; , and received from all congratulations, and the assurance of the desire of peace and amity with his country. In these short conversations with gen- tlemen, most strangers to him, the Presi dent was particularly happy, and this, his first official intercourse with the Represen tatives of other Nations, was, we doubt not, exceedingly satisfactory. Nothing, indeed, could be more appropriate or in better taste than this President's remarks, and the re pike of the several members of the Corps. MR. BODISCO'S ADDRESS. [Translation] Mr. PRESIDENT:--The United Staten having been suddenly deprived of its se, promo head, the Constitution has invested you with the Chief Alagistracy of the Union. The Diplomatic Corps has the honor to appear before you, Mr. President, for the purpose of expressing through me, its organ its concern in the melancholy event which has so unexpectedly removed General Har r:son from the hopes of the American Peo ple. The Diplomatic Corps hastens els° to ofThr up its vows, Mr. President, that your administration may be distinguished by the maintenance of all the existing friendly re lations, and by a constant incleaso in the prosperity of the United States. The Diplomatic Corps erfibreces this op portunity, Mr. President, to assure you of its earnest desires to merit your confidence and esteem. THE PRESIDENVS REPLY Mr. MINISTER: lit my character of Chief Magistrate of the United States, and in the name of the People thereof; I have to return to the Diplomatic Corps, whom on this oc casion you representony acknowledgements for their expression of condolence on ac count of the bereavement which this conn• try has so recently sustained in the death of its late lamented and — illustriotts ^ 'Presi dent. I take occasion, at the Immo` time, to give the assurance that my most earnest desire, as his constitutional successor, will be to maintain and cherish the friendly re lations which now so happily subsist be tween our respective countries. The People of the United States regard their own prosperity as intimately connec ted with that of the entire family of nations and the cultivation of the feelings of mutual amity as the best mode of advancing that important end. 1 sincerely desire that the residence of the Diplomatic Corps near this Govern. ,gent may prove every way agreeable to them; to accomplish which nothing shall be wanting on my part.

We yesterday learned that some time last week, the cashier of the Bank of America received a letter from the New Orleans Bank enclosing the half of a certificate for $23,000 Mexican dol lars, which he was to deliver to a Mr. Britton, on presentation of the other half, and recommending Mr. B. to Mr. Thomp• son's considerat ion as an English gentleman of fortune, who lied deposited the money with the New Orleans Batik. Mr. Britton appeared on Thursday, and received the half of the certificate, which he took to Ja• cob Little & Co.'s who cashed it for him by a check on the Union Bank, which was paid in 1000 dollar notes. At a late hour in the day another person, evidently an ac• complice, came to Mr. Little to buy soy. ereigns, which he paid for in notes of the Union Bank. The next day the steamer for England sailed. There seems to be no doubt that this is but a part of the plan by which the banks have been swindled. Mr. Little has offered 85000 reward for the recovery of the money. To show the coolness of tiro villian, when ho presented himself at the Union Bank, the check being , drawn to his order ' , lament was refused on the ground that Mt. Britton was a stran• ger. Fie immediately returned to Mr. Little, and asked him to accompony him for the purpose of satisfying the bank. Mr. Little not :icing able to go, the cashier of the Bank of America went with him, and the money was accoidingly paid. Pao learn that the Girard bank of Phila. delphia paid a similar certificate on Bator. day last, but for some reason, being anxious about it, they succeeded about midnight in finding the men and recovering the mon• ey. It in now evident that the villian has been operating extensively, and has made, probably, attempts upon other banks. lie is an Englishman, and is supposed to be the man •vhose arrival in the United State', from London was Intety announced in the _papers. in,whirli he ‘vam.spolten of as the moat accomplished scoundrel in the world. --IV. y.

SUGAR IN Lou ISIANA.--According to an official straw - neat, there are 525 sugar es tates in Louisiana, employing 40,000 hands and 10 000 horses, and that the average crops equal to 70,000 hogsheads of 1,000 lbs., 70,000,000 Ibs• sugar and 350,000 gallons of molasses; the average value of sugar, is six cents per pound, and molasses 20 cents per gallon. fileLnon AFFAIR.—The chief witness who swore on the arrest of McLeod to his presence at the capture and burning of the Caroline, is, we are informed, a drunken, worthle. , loafer, whom no ono, where ho is known, would believe on his oath. At a recent apprisal of damages for a farmer, against the Auburn and Rochester Rail Road Company in Ontario county, this identical loafer swore up the damages claimed to an .incredible sum, and his tes timony was whole disbelieved and disregar ded of courso.—N.

THE THRONE OF Loins PHILIPPE.—A Parts letter writer of the New York Corn mercial, in announcing the success of the Fortification Bill, says:—"The moral force of 2000 canons and 14 bastiles round Paris is to ensure the stability of tho throne of Louis Philippe. I hope it may prove suc cessful, for the tranquility of Europe de. ponds upon the pacific temper of the present government." UNITED STATES BANE...—The Pennsvl vauia Inquirer of Monday, says:—"lt was very currently rumoured on Saturday night and as we believe with some foundation, that the United States Bank had determined to place a portion of its assets in the hands of Trustees, for the benefit of the Philadel phia City Banks, which hold five millions of dollars of its Post Notes. The names of the following highly respectable gentle men have been mentioned in connection with this Trusteeship:—Jas. Dundas, Esq.; Robert Ilowel, Esq.; M. D. Lewis, Esq. Samuel James, Esq ; Robert Pittfield, Esq.; We learn also, that Thomas Taylor Esq. has been elected Cashier, in the place of A. Laidner, Esq. resigned. OAKLAND COLLEGE.—The Natchez Cou ncr says: "We learn with pleasure, that a wealthy lady in the vicinity ofOakland col lege, has subscribed fifteen thousand dollars to that valuable institution of learning." A CURE AND PREVENTIVE OF DISEASE , —Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pella are no less a cure than a preventive dis eases. 11' hen we feel dull, pain in the head back, or side, weary on the least exertion, it is then we ought to take a dose of these Pills.
