ENGLAND.-Parliamentary proceedings

pine, twenty one days each year, but power

to seven weeks, or reduce it to three DAYS.
Estimated expense, two hundred and fifty
thousand pounds yearly-hrst year four
hundred thousand pounds
Lord Palmerston gave the measure his
support.
Lord ]. Russell, although not opposing
it, was disposed to find fault with some of
its provisions. Mr.. Hume protested against
the doctrine Of numerous arnaments when
3hey were by no means needed. Mr.. Cob
den ridlcuIed the idea OF an invasion, and
complained OF an expenditure being incur.
red to provide an imaginary evil
The bill was read first time.
FRANCE,-The great event in Paris dur
ing the week preceding the sailing of the
America, was the opening of the French
Chambers, which took place on the 29th
ut., the Prince President performing The
ceremony in person. He was attended by
brilliant staff of general officers, colonels
of regiments, councillors of state, &c. His
reception was of the warmest kind lie
read his installation speech standing. In
abiding to the foreign relations OF France.
he says 1t was for all our interests to keen
with them the most amcable relations. He

duct will be in doing so He disclaims any
intention OF declaring himself Emperor

was made to recede from the arrangement
which had been made. Rejected
Mr., Hale notified the Senate that if they
recede, he would offe. separate joint res

The Senate receded from the amendment

Mr. Hale then introduced a Joint resolu-
tlon similar TO the Senate amendment, au-
thorlzing the architect to pay the workmen

The non-ihtervention resolutions were
then taken up.
Mr. Bell sketched the present condition
OF Europe, and the manner in which the
United States would be effected in meddling

vaIlve ground.

consideration Of the resolutions was post

ton, lie upon the table Of the Senate, and
then Introduce it in executive session. Ad-
iourned.

Mr.. TOWNSEND said

E~We have devoted considerable space
in to-day's paper to the proceeding Of the
Canal Commissioners in relation to the Co.
lumtia Railroad, because labored attempt
Is steadily made to justify this strange mo-
nopoly. Were the Canal Commissioners to
carry out The same principle on the Pennsyl-
gania Canal, and give to Bingham & Dock,
and their g company" the right Of transport
ing al freight over it, the public would soon
awaken to sense of the wrong now perpe-
lratcd, and, rising above party, would at once
sweep them from Office. The statements Of
Iessrs. Miller and Thompson throw consider
able light on the effects likely to be produced
on the treasury, and are deserving Of an at
tgntiYe perusai.

Congressional Nomination.

The conferees from several counties in this
district, met at Lock Haven last week, and
unanimously agreed to tender the congress
sional nomination to Gen. VIZ H. IRwIN, Of
Lowistown, Although the district hasa slight
sprinkle Of locofocoism as far as, and proba-
bly, into, some parts Of New York, we hope
The wings throughout viii be up and doing
and poll their best vote. What possible in
terest we should like to know, can the canal
commissioner brother James Gamble, who
Is the locofoco nominee, have in this and sew
eral adjoining counties, that he should repre-
sent them in Congress? None, whatever; :;
and if elected, he viii very likely but use his
place to rivet canal chains around the necks
Of taxpayers tighter than they have ever been
before. Besides, are few families in middle
Pennsylvania to enjoy ali the offices Of honor
and profit, at the dictation Of packed con-
ventions and rotten delegate system, or will
the people soon use their power to block the
game that has been evidently prepared for
years to come? Our citizens, we hope, will
generally vote for Gen. Irwin-not that we
expect to elect him-but to show at least that
in their opinion, one man out Of family is
enough to hold Office.

Scott Meeting.

| Quite spirited meeting, called at short
notice was held in front of the Lewistown
Hotel on Monday evening, which was ad-
dressed by Judge CONRAD Of Philadelph
and Gen. w. H. IRwIN. With a single in
terruption from some ignoramus, who was de-
Gently kicked out Of the crowd, the large
number of persons in attendance listened
with marked attention to Judge Conrad, and
when applause dad burst forth, it was
spontaneous shout we'll calculated to wake
locofoco babies Gen. Irwin addressed the
meeting in his usual happy style amid re-
peated applause THOMAS REED, of Der
ry, presided, assisted by WILLIAM RAMSEY,
Esq, of Armagh, JAMES T. TAYLOR, Of Brown,
JOSEPH NJ. Cooley, JoHy NEFF, JoHN SWAN,
and a number of others whose names we do
not remember.
As usual, since the tremendous ratification
meeting at the Town Hall, when about two
dozen and a half, including candidates, Of
ficeholders, &C., ratified the doings of the
locofoco convention, the Democrat not only
disparages the meeting, but considering that
the junior, who at present edits that paper
and is himself an o6iceholder on the canal,
rather inaptly calls Judge Conrad pensioner
from the Philadelphia Custom House. If the
Judge holds an Office, we presume he re-
ceives precisely what the law allows him, in
the same manner that Collector, President
Judge, or his associates, or other offcerz, re-
eeive their pay, Does it follow that they too
are pensioners, or will the rule only hold good
in the one case?

TIE /" GalLant' Pterce.-Geo. A'Lane
Brevet Captain L. S. Army. son of the Hon
Louis MLane, gives the following history Of
the slapping affair in Mexico, recently no.
ticod in the Gazette, over his signature:
The substance of my observation, in re-
gard to this difficulty of Gen. Pierce's, is,
9 according to my impression, ON the night
"prior to his leaving Mexico, HIS FACE
WAS SLAPPED AT A GAME OFCARDS,
:" by an officer Of the army, and the indignity
I" was not on the instant, or, as far as | learn
led subsequently, resented in such manner
" as in my opinion it ought to have been, Jy
."a a m0n Of proper spirit and courage"
We have capitalized aud italicized u little
in the above extract in order to bring forcibly
some portions to the mind of those who howl
cd at Henry Clay, because, as they alleged,
he formerly played cards. What will they
think now of Pierce, the gallant Pierce, the
noble Pierce, whom locofoco Captain in the
United States Army not only accuses of play
ing cards, but of not being a man Of propcr
spirit and courage WHEN HIS FACE IS sLARPED !.
We hope no locofoco viii faint on reading
this scrap of history from the life of their il
lustrious federal candidate.

Judge Woodward and His Nativeism.

The Democrat displays q commendable
solicitude for the nominee for Supreme
Judge, and in publishing his letter Of expla-
! nation kindly offers us the type in order that
we may do Justice to political opponent.
We have not Tie room this week, or We
should accept its proposition, hut couple it
with such a statement that might render
another explanatory letter necessary. Wood
ward is evidently one Of those lawyers who
deny everything, and call for the proof. -
as his letter fully shows, but While he at
tributes his speech 70 a Wing reporter, he
unfortunately omits TO discredit the official
record of the convention, which at page ~
informs us that George w. Woodward
moved to amend an amendment by adding
thereto the words
And that the said committee be also in
structed to enquire into the propriety of so
amending the Constitution, as to prevent
any foreigners who may arrive in this State
after the fourth day Of July, l84l, from ac-
'quiring the right to vote or hold Office in
this commonwealth
This proposition tallies precisely with the
speech, and if q reporter put the words into
his mouth, he most strangely fell into the
same vein with the amendment offered. And
again, if the whole thing is false. how comes
it that Judge Woodward, in letter to the
democracy of this State, dated September 6,
1851, only one year ago, in speaking of this
very subject, says:
Who would complain of my proposition ?
Certainly no foreigner then in the country
none on his way to this country--none who
should choose to come before the 4th of
July, 1871, for none Of these were to be eg-
eludel from anything, either residence or
political privileges, among us. Nor could
those who should choose TO come after the
18th Of July, l84l, complain, for they would
have had nearly four years notice that they
were not to share i'll our political privileges /"
Now, did whig reporter also write this
letter, making a defence Of the proposition
introduced by Woodward-and i so, how
comes it that it was published over his sig
nature The Intelligent reader who will
compare the amendment to the resolution,
the speech, and the defence of last year, will
not be slow in discovering that there is & re-
semblancc in then-so much so that it will
not do 10 DENY part

HoPKISs's NERvE.-The Democrat, last
week, gave denial to the assertion that their
candidate for Canal Commissioner had stated
he wanted nerve TO oppose his party on &
certain occasion some years ago. Well, here
is the extract, as reported in the Harrisburg
newspapers Of 1910, and thus far never con-
tradicted;
- receded III voting on the resolution re-
lative to the resumption Of specie payments
| believe the final passage Of that resolution
10oNld produce a scene Of RUIN and DISAS-
TER from The center to tie circ1tx1 ference of'
tie Commonwealth. But | HAD NOT THE
NERVE to array myself against TIE Den,oc-
racy ct the House, and / GAVE UP MY OPINIONS
OF THE MEASURE, AND VOTED FOR IT %
Gen. Pierce having set the example of do
nylng an incorvenient record, and throwing
the blame on the reporters, Woodward next
jumped at the same rope, declaring that
whig reporter put a speech into an official
record which he did not deliver, and Col.
Hopkins, we suspect will now soon be out
with q declaration that some whig reporter
has also misrepresented him.
