PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, .lprI An immense con-
course Of various grades, before the usual hour
OF divine service this morning, Sunday throng-
ed the church yard of Ut. Mary's all the streets
and avenues leading 10 il, were literally sold
moving mass of population. few minutes after
10 o'clock, and Immediately rs the Rev. MIR. Ho-
gan was entering from the vestry room, to per-
form the duties of the day, two or more Of tie
trustees appointed by the Bishops party made
their up the South aisle, as if 10 possess them
selves of that part OF the Church enclosed BY the
railing, near the Altar. This conduct mnedi-
ately created spontaneous movement, and for
little time some tumuit when MIR. Lcamy and
others, trustees of St. Mars's desired them TO
withdraw-they should not enter. In the mean
time, one of the constables was sent for to the
front Of the church, where the viglant mayor had
judiciousIy placed several, anticipating confuson
when two OF the opposing party were taken away,
and the worship Of the day continued and con-
clutled peaceably.
Gerymcndering The bill for apportioning
the members OF Congress, under the new cen
sus, in the state of Pennsylvania, has finally pas
seu the Legislature of that State, and become a
law. The Governor however, refused his sig
nature aud appreciation to the bill, and returned
il with hs objections. His excellency SAYS" |
cannot approve Of this act in its present shape,
because, ia my opinion, its provisions violate a
vital priacipie of representative government, by
means of The unequal division of the state into
districts, and the unequal apportionment of rep
resentatises among the people, in some districts,
as Tor instance, in the case of York county--it
gives 10 that county representative, with pop
uiatioI below tine ratio of 10000, as established
by congress, while it withhods from Chester
county a like representative, with popua ton
exceeding the same ratio. In other cases, dis
tricts are 50 arranged as TO allow represen-
tatlve for little more than $4,000, while it
allows to Lancaster county, containing a pop
ulation of more than sixty-eight thousand
souls, only one member, and the same time gives
the county of Philadelphia two representatives
with population of only 1925" Another OBJ
lection is, that the law nnites into one district
counties or places which do not adjoin, which the
governor says, is at variance with the principles
of the constitution Of that state. The bill passed
however, notwithstanding the objections. There
was considerable warm work upon the subject,
and several protests against the measure, drawn
in strong and indignant language, have been
published by meRbers of the minority.

LONDON, Jan. 10.

LONDON, Jan. 10.
Toacs,- Hall, Southwark On Thursday a port
ly member OF the gentle craft, with voice be-
tween penny trumpet and kettle drumb,"
was summoned by two sailors belonging TO ira
ding vessel in the river, to shew cause why he
detained pair of shoes, the property of one Of
them. The complaining tar stated that he ar
rived in the port of London about week before
Christmas, and finding his under rigging rather
unit for sarrtce, made enquiry after SEINE one
who could perform the necessary repairs. A
messmate who knew the coast, piloted him to the
defendants firth, where be produced the huiks
of late comely pair of shoes, and asked if they
could be rendered soa-iCorthy again, or if they
must be broke up 2 The defendant, after inspect
ing them closely from stem, to stern, said they on
ly wanted new Keeling and they would safely
undergo several voyages more, on which coHdi-
ton he left them in dock, with an understand
ing that they should be launched by the defend
ent in about weeks time but whether they
were penned in the bilbces, or sold for old mate
rails he could not tell, for he could gain no in
formation respecting their course of steerage,
either from defendant or any other person.
Crfspin listened in apparent amazement, and
at the conclusion Of the sailors charge, exclaim-
ed, "Oh! latck, Oh lawk, what Uickedness.
Your Worship, never had no shoes, as he says,
al all F.; and ne only thinks to do me, but 1T cont
fl. To be sure, had one pair from the acessei,
and earned (earned) IS Sd by 'em; but aft
forwards took 'em back, and got money and !
never had another pair. So help me G., and
I'll swear it on all the 7sstamuas or Bibles in
Hfngland."
The two saiers said they were not only rea-
dy TO swear he bad the shoes, but could bring
all the crew to support their testimony Z" how
ever" said the complainant, g if he will swear
be hasn't got them, I'll be satisfied"
This appearing the readiest way of settling
the natter the knight Of the lapstae was put
upon his solemn oath, and declared he had not
got the shoes, and never beheld them to his
knowledge
Mr.. Aid. Smith said the case was very
strange one, and he could not help thinking that
there must be material errors but the affair
was now decided and dismissed.
