The Contemplated Southern Convention. The Legislature of South Carolina, a few weeks ago, passed resolutions and forwarded them to all the.slaveholding States, requesting the s p. pointment of Commissioners to a Convention to arrange for a division of the Union, on th e eceur7 ring of certain contingencies. The Legislature of 'Mississippi has' responded affirmatively. That of; Virginia regarded the proposed measure as unconstitutional, and *d e Mined action. In Maryland the proposition was received with great disfavor. We have not seen any statement of the action of the representatives in other States, except in . Texas.' There, Goy. Houston sent in the communication, accompanied by a special message, strongly condemning the proposed measure. The following resolutions were then introduced in the Legislature, with a probability of their, being,passed by a very strong vote: Section 1. Be it Resolved, by the Legislature of the State of Texas, that we do not concur in the opinion with the Legislature of South Carolina, that any snob alarming exigency exists in our national affairs, as to justify the revolutionary notion recommended by them to their sister slave holding States; nor do we assent to the doctrine of secession, by one or more States, from our national confederacy, as a constitutional right. &saved, That this Legislature is firmly at• blotted to the Union of these States, in order to participate in the glory and prosper ity of which Texas surrendered her national existence, and that we go for it as one and indivisible, now and forever, as our Revolutionary fathers framed it. Resolved. That this Legislature beholds, in the proposed secession of the Southern elaveholding States, or any one of them, from their sister States—as in the dissolution of oar' glorious Union—no remedy for any alleged .evils, real or imaginary, but a great aggravation of them all, and contemplate that deplorable event as the par ent of other calamities, far transcending in magnitude and fatal consequences any now pend• ing over us. Resolved, That, as far as depends upon us, we will stand by, support, and uphold the Union against all attacks, from without or within, and against all ultraisms,whether at the North or the South. Resolved, Therefore, that we respectfully, but most emphatically, decline to participate In, or in any way sanction the proposed meeting of the slaveholding States, for the purposes indicated by the Legislature of South Carolina. Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor be requested to communicate this preamble and res • olutions to each of our sister States, with the expression of our earnest hope that they will all unite with us, in cultivating brotherly feeling, observing justice, and obeying the Constitution and laws of the Waited States. Disunion movements aro evidently unoonstitu• Clonal, and tend to treason. The indications are, that they ere growing into disfavor throughout the land; and the day may come, when, to be engaged in a Southern Convention, for such a purpose, will blast a man's reputation as effectu ally, in the political world, as did a participation in the celebrated Hartford Convention, some forty or fifty years ago. Pennsylvania Railroad. The annual meeting of the Company was held at Philadelphia on the 6th inst. The Thirteenth Annual Report shows the road and its business to be in a very prosperous condition. The road was among the most difficult of construction, but it has been managed with a wisdom and energy which make it the most safe, pleasant, and profitable of all the greatly extended roads.in our country. The road has been kept In good re. pair, with advancing improvement, and the regular semiannual dividend of three per cent. made, and a sinking fund. A double traok is now laid throughout, except on sixteen and n 'half miles from Lookport to .TohnstoWn, ittil:fifty.;five and nine.tenth miles, betweeiSarree and Har risburg. , • The receipts ,of the road for the „year were $6,862,865 ; the expenses were $8,18Q,788 . net earnings $2,281,617. The earning of the •Canals owned by the Company were $197,649; *nelson , sea, $175,462; net earnings, $22,697. , , The earnings show an increase of $177,02463, as compared with 1858. The earnings for the first-class passengers show an increase of $63,- 855.99, while the earnings from emigrant busi ness show a decrease of $24,681.71, leaving as an increase of passenger business, $48,674.28. The increase has been mainly from local travel. The increase of travel has been large between Harrisburg and Philadelphia, in spite of the competition with the Reading Railroad and its Lebanon Valley Branch. The entire number of passengers transported during the year, was one million four hundred and fifty nine thousand one hundred and ten. Not a single life has been lost of the immense number of passengers carried, The freight earnings of the year amounted to $119,904.84, more than wee derived from"this source in 1868. The increase is mainly. local. This Company has now the control ofu the Cumberland Valley Railroad, which is rendered profitable. The canal has been 'kept in repair, and the Eastern portion of it deepened. Its debts and credits show a small balance in its favor. A new Passenger Station is to be erected at Pittsburgh, and one at. Lancaster, and a Ware house at Johnstown. A very large Work shop is to be erected, without delay, at Harrisburg, which will employ some thousand persons. Bank Notes Almost the only currency we fiud now, in Pitts burgh, is Missouri bank notes. The constitution of Missouri limits the number of banks to ten in the State. Legislators have interpreted this to mean ten "parent" banks, end they have author ised those parent banks to establish some thirty or forty branches. These branches, many of them, are in retired parts of the State, where they are difficult of access, in order to demand specie. The parent banks make a large portion of their notes payable st these branches. A result is, that the branch notes are at a heavy discount, even In St. Louis; and not being readily convert ible into gold, they are sent off as currency. Of the soundness of the banks we cannot speak. We take the notes, when we can get nothing bet ter, but we dispose of them very quickly. It would be a great relief to have them substituted by something which could be turned into cash with facility, or be used to pay debts without thp suffering of heavy discount% It is the scarcity ' of money which enables those who gain by theim, to keep them in circulation. Western Pennsylvania Hospital. The report for the past year, shows that since April let, 1856, three hundred and thirty-two pa tients have been admitted; two hundred and nine males; one hundred and twenty three females; of these, there have been dieoharged—restored, one hundred and nineteen ; improved, fifty•seven ; unimproved, twenty-three deaths, thirty-three; remaining in Hospital January Ist, 1860, one hundred. The statistics show that in oases where the mal. ady woe less than six months standing before admission, the restorations amount to fifty-six per oent.; in oases of long stamding the cures are only about eleven per cent. of the admissions, ; giving fresh proof of the importance of early treatment in all oases of insanity.

Sir: I have 88011 with much pleasure, in the last two issues of your pa per, communications commendatory of the Howe Seine° MAOHINB ; and I will state for the bene fit of your readers, a little of my experience. Last Fall I went into the manufacture of ladies' cloaks and stella shawls quite extensively, and wanting the best machine, and not positively knowing which one to adopt, I got one of . Grover and Baker's $76 Machines, one of Wheeler and 3Vilson's $lOO Machines, one of Finkle's $B6 Machines, ,one of Braman's $36 Machines, and one of dowe's $55 Machines. I had them all tried faithfully by experienced operators, with the view of adopting the one best suited to that variety of work, and after a rigid test I found the Howe Machine to be the only one that would per form on all and every variety of fabric to my perfect .atiefactian, and I therefore gave it the preference in my factory, to the exclusion of all others. It is strong, durable, compact, simple, and never gets out of order, and too much praise cannot be awarded it. Truly yours, WM. H.

Tim Quinn's SP2II/011.—Parliament was opened by the Queen In person on the 24th ult. The fol lowing are extracts from the Queen's speech : My Lord. and Gentlemen—With great satiefac tbn I again meet you in Parliament, and have recourse to your assistance and advice. My relations with foreign Powers continue on friendly and satisfactory footings. At the close of the last session, I informed you that overtures had been made to me, to ascertain whether, if a conference should be held by the great Powers of Europe, for the purpose of settling the arrange. ments connected with the present state and future condition of Europe, a Plenipotentiary would be sent by me to assist at such a conference. I have since received a formal invitation from , the Du , parer of Austria and the Emperor of the French to send a Plenipotentiary to a Congress to consist of the representatives of the eight Powers who were garties to the treaty of Vienna; the ob jects of such a Congress being stated to receive communication of the treaties concluded at Zu rich, and deliberate (associating with the above Powers the Courts of Rome, Sardinia, and Sicily) on the means best adapted for the pacification of Italy, and placing its prosperity on a solid >and durable basis. Desirous at all times to concur in proceedings which have for their object the main tenance of peace I accepted the invitation, but at the same time m ade it known that in such a Con gress I should steadfastly maintain the principle that no external force should be employed to im poseup on the people of Italy any particular gov ernment or constitution. Circumstances have since arisen which have led to the postponement of the Congress, without any day having been fixed for a meeting, but, whether in the Congress or in a separate negotia tien t I shall endeavor to obtain for the people of Italy freedom from foreign interference, by force of arms, in their internal concerns, and I trust that the` affairs of the Italian peninsula may be peace fully and satisfactorily settled. The papers on this subject will soon be laid before you. I am in communication with the Emperor of the French, with a view to extend the commercial Intercourse between the two countries, and thus draw closer the bonds of friendly alliance between them. The papers on this subject will be laid before you. My plenipotentiary, and the plenipotentiary of the Emperor of the French having, in obedience to their instructions, proceeded to the mouth of the Peibo river, in order to repair to Pekin to exchange, in that city, the ratifications of the treaty of Tien- Ulu, in pursuance of the fifty sixth clause of that treaty, their further progress was opposed by the Chinese forces, and a conflict took place between the forts at the mouth of the river, and the naval forces by which the plenipotentia ries were escorted. The allied forces displayed on this occasion their usual bravery, but after 'sustaining a severe loss, they were compelled to retire. I sin preparing, in concert and cooper" ation, with the Emperor of the. French, an expedition intended to compel redress and the fulfillment of the stipulations of the treaty. It will be gratifying to me if the prompt aoquies °once of the Emperor of China in the moderate demands which will be made by the plenipoten tiaries, will obviate the necessity for the employ.. ment of force. have directed that the papers on the subject be before'you. CHB PRENBYTERIAN BANNER 4ffl) ADVOCATE. An unauthorized proceeding by en officer of the United States in regard to the island of San Juan, between Vancouver's Island and the main land, might have led to a serious collision between my forces and those of the United 'States; but the collision has been prevented by the judicious for bearance of my naval officers on the spot and the equitable and conoilistory provisions and arrange ments proposed by the Government of the United States. I trust that. the question of boundary, out of which this affair has arisen, may be ami cably settled ins manner conformable with justice to the two countries, and as defined by the first article of the treaty of 1846. The last embers of disturbance in my East India dominions have been extinguished. My viceroy bee made peaceful progress through the districts which have been the principle scenes of disorder, and by . a judicious combination of firm ness and generosity, my authority has been every where solidly, and I trust, permanently estab lished. France. M. Thonvenal bad assumed office as Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the.24th. He issued a circu lar to the various Ambassadors, pledging his best efforts to maintain and consolidate the existing friendly relations. The Commercial Treaty between France and England continued to attract attention and spec ulation. The Conatitutionnel publishes several articles of the treaty, as the following : On and after July Ist, the import duties on cotton and wool will .be suppressed English coal and coke will be subject to the same duties as in Belgium. After October next, a duty of two francs will be substituted for the aotual duty on iron. From December, duties on machinery will be diminish ed. From January, 1861, the sugar duty will be reduced. From January, 1861,. prohibitions of the importations of threadtand hemp will be re-. placed by a duty not exceeding thirty per cent. and from October, 1861, all remaining prohibi tions will be abolished. The advantages granted to France will be stated shortly. Some French journals report that the duty on French wines imported into England, will be 2d per bottle, and le 9d per gallon ; that silk will be admitted free. The prospect for the annexation of Savoy and Nice to France was being openly alluded to by French semi-official journals as an almost accom plished faot. Later. By. the Bohemian, news is received from Lon= don, to . February 2d. It is stated that England has proposed favora ble terms to the United States for the settlement of the SanJnan affair.

While the loss of this mother in Israel affects our hearts with grief, yet there is a great satisfaction connected with it. She finished her course with joy. For thirty years she had been a consistent member of the Church of Christ The only church with which she was connected was that of Mt. Prospect Here she loved to join In the worship of her Divine Master. For the last few years of her life, the In Frailties of old age prevented her from attending the sane- tuary. This was to her a source of great regret. But it afforded a peculiar pleasure: to her mind to recall the happy seas - ms she had enjoyed while in &an and strength. In the course of many conversations, she expressed herself as trusting for salvation alone in the atonement of Christ. She viewed herself as a poor lost Sinner saved by grace alone. Her end was very peaceful. There was no pardon ler form pf disease ; but the gradual decay of the vital powers. Her Muter gently let her down into the grave.
