full innovation on the old landmarks of anti-bank
policy which has ESQ leng ruled the destiny of the
Keystone.
The Senate, this morning, rescinded the joint re-
solutions providing for the final adjournment of the
Legislature on the 10th (next Tuesday,, until the
14th, to-day week, in order to pass the Appropria-
tion and Revenue bills, which have been too long
neglected and laid aside, in order to run through
private bills. The general impression is, that the
House will concur in .prolongng the session for
some days, no action being taken the resolution
as II lies over one day, according TO the rules.
The quantity OF lumber passing down the river in
RATS, and produce in arks, surpasses all estimates

The large ship-joning establishment of the
Messrs. Keen, IN Kensington, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire last night, with large amount of
materials The flames communicated to the ad-
joining board yard OF Messrs. George Landell Il
Son, and consumed large portion of Its contents.
street, owned by Mrs. Sampson, were set on fire
by the heat, but saved from entire destruction by
the exertions of the firemen. The adjoining soap
and nd candle manufactory of Messrs Coffin & San
guished before it had made much progress The
loss is mostly covered by insurance. The fire orr
ginated by design.
About, eleven o'clock last evening, David Hun
ter, police officer in the southwestern section
the city, was stabbed by one fthe gang of Schuyl
kill Rangers. The wound was inflicted during an
attempt by the gang to rescue John Mcintyre, alias
McCann from the custody of the officers they
having arrested him on several charges pending
against him. The prisoner was held to bail in
$4,000: The real perpetrator of the outrage upon
the officer has, so far, escaped.
. The jury IN the Hinchman case have agreed to
disagree, and it is feared will not conclude upon
verdict. The reason is that they stand divided
eleven to one for conviction.
The Committee of Conference of our State
Legislature, on the appropriation agreed to an
amendment ordering the State inter EST to be paid
in par funds.

Piracy IN THE WEST lSprEs.-Thc Halifax papers
received by the steamer, contain late dates from
the West Indies. Among other items is the fol-
lowing account of piracy. A sloop which sailed
outside of the harbor, was seized by three men,
one of whom had shipped as a seaman, and the
others as passengers. They landed the captain
and crew upon desert island, and then run the
vessel into the Oronoco, where they disposed of
their booty. Afterwards, however, they were dis
covered in Laguayra, arrested, and carried TO Bar
BADGES, where they were lodged in jail to await
their trial.

OF the General himself il is useless to speak
His praises could not well be sung in a week:
But in the first place, may say that we take him
To be much better looking than painters could make
him;
And this, we declare While we feel Il n duty
To say he's by no means a regular beauty.
But Lord bless your SOUL for many a mile
Would you walk but to catch his most heavenly smile
Irresistible, winning and quick as q dart,
1t strikes you at once to the core Of the heart
No person can leave him without deeply feeling
The sweetness Old lack has power Of concealing;
Oh, his smile 10 so frank, delicious and rare,
You see In his heart and the peace that is here
And his manner and language disclose to the day
That whatever he thinks Of he's ready to say.
To the ladies and children he's specially dear,
His words gracious his kiss SO sincere;
And people that come from the country can stand
In his presence, among the most proud in the land
His goodness SO gracious, all parties must please,
From heart which desires to make all at their ease
But defrauded by Polk and his agents Of sin
or the choice Of proper good man for Berlin,
How can General Taylor continue to hold
A fame and q cabinet purer than gold!
How can they all glory and honor retain,
How can they continue new honors to gain,
But by judcious appointment for Spain .....
