quarterly meeting of orthodox Quakers divided into
two bodies at its last meeting The parties are
known to each other by the names 'Wilburlies"
and "Gurneyies"-the former, headed by John
Wilbur bearing strong testimony against certain
alleged errors in doctrine, said to have been taught
by Joseph John Quincy, an English Quaker who
visited this country. few years ago. Both the
Wilburos and the Gurneyiies claimed to be the
quarterly meeting exclusively; and neither could
do any business while any persons not members

to go out. At length the Gurncyites withdrew.
The next day they took possession of the meeting

From the New York Sun
THE PROVINCE OR STATE OF YUcATAN,
TEXAS, AND MEXICO.

The refusal of the province of the State Of Yucca
tan TO afford any aid TO Mexico IN war against the
United States, is serious blow 10 the war partys
because remote departments, particularly on the bor-
ders Of the Pacific, may catch the Infection and the
country becomes at once divided upon a very impor
iant measure. Apart from all selfish or national
calculations, itwould seem 10 TO be a most un-
wise policy for Mexico 10 declare war against this
country on what is called "a point Of national no.
nor" How is her honor affected by annexation
Several years ago, Mexico made serious demon
stration against Texas with powerful army led on
by Santa Ana, Amonte, and the choice generals Of
the republic, who were most disgracefuly defeated
and routed at San Jaclnto; and since that period,
men and money have been freely raised TO recover
Texas without making the attempt Here was ah
end to all Irrational honor" ia far as the recovery
az the province was concerned. But, further II there
was any Irrational honor in resolving never to sur
render Texas, why did they offer to recognise the
independence Of that republic The true plan was
to have calmly protested against annexation, and
Their, throwl herself on her reserved rights, claim
ed indemnify from the United States, and bounda-
ry treaty which would have left things in an AMIGA
BILE state, secured TO Mexico AN indemnity cquiva-
lent to the expenses of war preparations, and made
secure and fast friend of our government. Now,
if war is declared, Mexico will find that il is no
child's play. We shall beat back all her forces, and
in turn become the assallans, and where il will end,
neither party can say,
The stand taken hy Yucatan may operate as a
check to the war party. That province has main
tanned its independence State, of Mexico, UNI
der the constitution of 1924, having resisted all the
revolutions in favor of ccntrtlsrn and federalism
since that time. Even two years ago, as many of
our readers will recolect il successfully resisted
Mexican centraIist invasion. Having formed an al
lance with Texas, Commodore Moore, of the Tex
ian navy went to the aid of Yucatan, and drove of
the Mexican feet. For that noble effort in favor OF
free government, Samuel Houston, then President
Of Texas, proclaimed Commodore Moore pirate
and an outlaw.
The Yucatanese are superior race of Spaniards
to the MeNcans, being generally intelligent whites,
without Moorish, Indian or negro blood.

Harrisburg, Aug. %, lS45.
One Of the heaviest, and, venture to say, one OF
the most deplorable failures that ever took place in
this borough, was made public yesterday afternoon
The Messrs Bayard, proprietors Of the Emeline
Furnace situated near Dauphin, about fourteen
miles above this place, and the Victoria Furnace To-
Gated in Cark's Valley, about six miles farther up
the river, have failed; their liabilities being in the
neghborhood Of one hundred thousand dollars This
is the first blow at the ironmasers of Pennsy lvana,
and it is feared that it will be followed up by others.
A meeting on the subject Of the State Lunatc
Asylum was held in the courthouse on Wednesday
evening, Judge Dock presiding. 1t was addressed
by Judge Eldred, Gen. Ayres, and Col. Snowden,
and others. In the course of his remarks the gem
ilenan asst named explained the object of the meet
ing. II appears that Miss Dix, the celebrated phi
lanthropst visited the various prisons in the State
last winter, after which she memorazed the legis-
lature to erect an asylum for the insane poor. An
act was passed approprlating 10000 by the State,
and $50, 900 more to be raised from the different
counties in the State, for s erection; the building to
be located at or near Harrisburg, provided the
county of Dauphn furnishes hundred acres OF
land Private contributions TO considerable amount
have already been made and the grand jury has
commended the commissioners to appropriate 5000
out of the county treasury to further the object.
The probability is that success will crown the praise
worthy efforts of a few philanthropic individuals
who are SO vigorously at work
The friends of universal education will certainly
be gratied to learn, that the prejudice maintained in
some of the German counties against the common
school system is gradually wearing away. This is
asst should be; and we mark the progress Of civ
ilization, we see taste for learning gradually
develop itself in districts where, but short time ago
few English books were to be found. Messrs
Hckok & Canine, the publishers of Cobb's excel
lent series of schoobooks, are daily shipping them
to sections of the State which have hitherto, from
the passage of the common-schoo law to the presen,
cheering prospect, and points out plainly that the
day is not far distant when the old keystone will
rank first in intelligence, she now does in wealth,
integrity, and prosperity.
P.S.-Since writing the above, have heard that
the liabilities Of the Messrs Bayard are much heavier
than first reporled--that they indie tied one
man alone, $4,000. The United States marshal has
levied on their effects.
