THE Pennsylvania Loan.-It appears, from
a statement in the New York Commercial OF
Saturday, that an impression, in some respect
erroneous, prevails, in regard to the alleged fail
ure of the Messrs. Aliens to make good their
contract for the Pennsylvania Loan of last
March. According to that paper, the simple
facts are these:
The Messrs. Aliens contracted for a loan to
the State of Pennsylvania, last year, of IS, 900.
600, to be paid in monthly instalments. They
have paid s., 100000. They were to have paid
$3.50, 900 on the 18th Of January inst: in conse.
quence of the pressure of the times, they have
asked the Governor of Pennsylvania, for a de.
lay of this payment o fsixty days; trusting tha.
the crisis will then have passed. The GovernOr
believing that he had no power to act in the
premises, has made a communication upon The
subject to the Legislature. Such, and such on
ly, are the facts. The credit of the house is IN
shaken.

h1oneu Saturday was the mos. tempestuOus

gloom was absolutely frightful. Inc lnteil-

LARGE amount. was received on FRIDAY even
ing. and was followed up, on Saturday morning,
bv the failure of an established house IN Boston.
Where is this to end, but in general bankrupt
CIV and ruin? If merchants with tnelf noles
and drafts to the amount Of hundreds OF thous-
ands cannot sustain themselves in the absence
of bank accommodations, and against the de-
mands Of the rich capitalists operating through
the brokers, how is it to be expected that men
oflesS extended means can carry on thelr puSl-
ness? Truly we see no reason to anticipate any
thing but general closing up all business at
once. The laboring classes have not yet lett
the pressure to a degree approaching TO apso-
lutte distress but they must not expect TO escape.
By the labOring classes we mean all those VINO

the extensive Woollen manufacturers in the vi
cinity, has discharged, within a few weeks, Sc

years, he has given constant and profitable en-
ployment; and reduced the quantity OF Wool
wrought up at his factory from SIX hundred
pounds a day to one hundred and hfty. we
know also that others are making arrangements
to stop their work entirely.

reader some idea of the difficulty occasioned by
the present embarrassment when we state a
fact within our own experience. The bills due
to this Office, from customers in Boston alone,
on the first day Of January, amounted to about
SIX thousand dollars; and in ordinary times, at
least two thirds Of this sum would have been
paid during the first ten days Of the month. 1t
is now the goth day, and not more than one
sixth part has been paid! Whether we are in a
better or worse predicament than our neighbors,
we do not know and have no right to inquire;
but we know that a daily paper, the weekly ex-
pense of which is not less than four hundred
dollars, cannot be long continued if It's custom
ers. whose debts to the establishment seldom ex-
coed twenty-five Or thirty dollars, and the grea-
ter number of which are less than five, are I'M
able to discharge their bills. The income OF a
newspaper, however large, is made up of of We

Canal Afray.~Some little stir was producedin
ourtown, on Monday last, by the arrivalofaneX-
press from the line Of the canal, bearing intelli-
gence Of a war among the workmen. Our two
volunteer companies immediately marched for
Williams-Port. On arriving there, it was dis
miles below the town, and that the beIligerents
had ceased hostilities. We understand that no
lives were lost; but that several persons were
dangerously wounded in the affray, which was
confined entirely to those engaged on the canal.
The cause of the dificultyis said to have been,
either the suspension of work, or of payment
on one or more sections ofthe canal. On Tues
day our volunteer corps returned to town, hav-
ing in charge, thirty-lour Of the rioters, who
have been committed to jail. Much credit is
due TO our citizen soldiers for the aiaclity with
which they obeyed the call for their services
and for the promptitude with which they march
ed for the scene OF action.

The Case Decided.-The case of seduction
mentioned Yesterday was last evening put to
rest by the jury who after being out twenty-five
hours, returned a verdict for The defendant.-
The Courier of this morning states, that when
the action was first commenced Mr.. Burrows
took his coac4lman to his counsel, who inform
ed them, that he remembered driving Mr., b. to
the house Of the plaintiff, in his carriage, where
he remained a few minutes only; that he suisse
uuently drove him to the house of a friend in
Chambers street, and thence to his dwelling
house in Carroll Place. This if true, would
prove an alibi, as it is testified by the plaintiffs
witnesses, that the defendant never made but
one visit to the house, previous to the prosecu-
ton. That the coachman was detained in New
York by Mr.. Burrows till he supposed the suit
was abandoned, and under that conviction he
sailed for New Orleans.
Mr.. Burrows, after the first trial, wrote to his
nephew in New Orleans, to procure the attend
ance Of the coachman at the late one, without
regard to expense; and while Mr.. Hoffman was
summing up on Wednesday, be received an an
swer, stating that the coachman was on his way
hither, at the expense of four hundred dollars and
his passage.
We believe there is but one opinion, now the
trial is over, as to the justice of this verdict
Mr.. Burrows has been placed in a very ~unplea-
SAINT situati on, in regard to this matter; and mn
ny innocent men would rather have submitted
to an imposition to a heavy amount, than have
publicly contested the case. Mr.. B. however.
has shown himself a man of spirit, and has set
ton, which should be followed with the same re-
solution by others whom avarice and want of
virtue may place in the like circumstances.

TO TIE PUBLIC.

| The State Committee OF the Constitu-
tional Party have t. transferred the sub
scription list of the CoNsrITUTioNALIsT,
two numbers only Of which have been
published, to the editor and proprietor OF
the Northern Star, printed at Warren,
with misunderstanding that his paper will
be hereafter continued under both names.
This paper will advocate the establish
ment of a b" CONSTITUTION" in the words
Of the first number of the Constitutional
list, " which shall secure a fair representa-
tion ocths people, a.rcasonable extension Of
suffrage, a further improvement of our Ju-
diciary," Lsuch as to secure for us at
least one independent court, "the per-
manency of Public Schools, some mitiga-
ton of the severity of our penal and CO.
ercive system, and proper limitation Of
the powers of the Legislative, Executive,
and Judicial departments of Govern
ment." Whenever liberal Constitu-
ton proceeds from any Convention, or
any party, whatever its name, the friends
of the Constitutional cause stand ready
to receive it and their labors will be at
an end. The Constitutionalist will be
under the direction of the State Commit
tee. For any thing which may appear
under the distinct head Of the Star, the
publisher alone will be responsible. The
Committee recommend this paper to the
patronage. and support of all the friends
