EVENING sEssIoN-FINAL ADJOURNMENT.

EVENING SESSloN-E1NAL ADJOURNMEN1.
The House met at o'clock,P NJ, and some
few bills were taken up and passad but members
finding there was no hope of getting them through
the Senate or having them enrolled, desisted in
their efforts to any bills from the great
mass of over slaughed measures which slept up
ON the table.
There being still great many bills to be sign
ed by the Speaker the Chair was again vacated
for this purpose.
little after ! o'clock the House was called
to order and ON motion of Mr.. Raymond, the Sc
nate was in formed that the House had compile
ted its business and ready 10 adjourn-and
afterwards similar communication was
made from that body.
Mr.. VERIFY (the chair being occupied by Mr.
Tomlin) then offered "A resolution of thanks to the
Speaker for the manner in which he had dischar-
ged the duties of his responsible Office, taking
casion in doing so to make very appropriate and
feeling address upon the dissolution of the SEES
sion and the sentiments it inspired. lie paid a
very warm tribute to the Speaker.
Mr. Gay seconded the resolution of Mr.. Yer
by and addressed the House briefly and eloquent
ly upon the OCCASION The resolution was unan-
imousy adopted.
The Speaker having entered the Hall and re-
sumcd the chair,
Mr., Tomn moved that the House adjourn, which
motion was carried.

APPOINTMENT OF STUDENT.-The School Com
missoners of Frederick county have elected
WILLIAM TAYLOR to fill the place of student at
Emory and Henry College for four years, under
the Act of the Legislature providing for the edu-
cation of sixteen INDECENT young men at that In
stitution. This we think is a wise provision, and
a similar one has been made to apply to the Win
chester Medical College. The talented poor as
well as the rich have thus opened for them the
way to the learned professions.-Win chichester Vir-

ter says Mr.. Champion, the British Minister, and
Mr.. Marcy, had an interview at the State De
partmcnt, relative to Earl Clarendon's intin alton
that the Anglo French Alliance in relation to
Eastern affairs is designed to look after matters
in the West and check the progress of Young
America ms soon as the Gar and the Sultan
have been disposed of. As the interview was
very good natured, it is safe to presume. that
there is no very gre at disagreement between the
Secretary aud the Minister on this subject. I'm
less am greatly mistaken, Cuba and the Sand
witch Islands will have been added to the Ameri-
can Empire, long before England and France get
at the end of the Eastern problem.

This BILL after being amended in various par
! iiculars, passed the House in the following i9r"
| and substance
| Sec. LIST. BE IL enacted By the General 4sse"l-
| Blu. That II shall be the duty of Commissioners
| Of the Revenue and Courts, to whom application
shall be made for leense.to require, from each ana
every person who shall apply for license, an oath
| that he will not pay out within the limits oil Inc
| Commonwealth, notes of a less denomination Than
five dollars, issued by banks, corporations or IN
| dvduals.
| 2nd. And be il further enacted, Tint IN every
case where n note of "A less denomination than
five dollars Is offered or issued "a money, wbeth'
or the said note be issued by bank, corporation
or by individuals the persons, firm, or association
of persons, corporation or body polite. 50 offer
ing or issuing such note shall pay flne OF ten
dollars, to be recovered before any justice, alder
man of a CITY, or court in this commonwealth,
and every person whose name i signed on the
fnce of such note, shall be deemed an issuer IN
the meaning of this act.
:ird. And be- il enacted, That one half of the
fine or penalty, recovered in any case under tins
act shall 10 to the nformer, and the residue shall
be paid into the treasury of the county or city in
which the same may be prosecuted for provided
that in all cases the nforner shall be competent
witness. and that such iniormer shall not he re-
anired 10 testify to more than the denomination
of such note.
18th. Any person may recover, by motion be-
fore a single Justice alderman, or before any
court, from any person whose name is on the face
of a note of a denomination less than five dollars,
which may be issued after the passage of this act,
five times the amount of such note, and such re-
covery shall be in addition to the fine herein be-
fore imposed.
9Th The penalties imposed by this act shall be
in addition to penalties heretofore imposed, and
this act shall be constructed renedlally.
9th. This act shall apply a. well to interest
bearing scrip, for less than five dollars, as
10 notes of other descriptions.
9TH. This act shall be in force from and after
the first day Of June next.
The provision which requires an oath to be ia
ken, when applying for license, does not go into
effect until June, 1858 meanwhile we think 1T
most likely the bill itself will be repealed or es-
sentially modified. The other provisions of the
law are not greatly more stringent than those of
the law now in existence. Whether they will be
better observed remains to be tested Far be it
from us to counsel disobedience to any statute of
the Commonwealth. If the law can be executed,
let it be so-fnot let il be repealed and authority
be given T., the Banks to issue bills of a less de-
nomination than five dollars.

the result we have no doubt.
But, TO return to the National Lntelligencer.
Have the venerable editors of that journal re-
Gently obtained new light on the character Of
Knownothingism HISS the honorable member
from Pennsy lvana enlightened them on the sub
ject? What could have produced such ar unna'
tural state ofthings? Let us see. The Wing
candidate for governor is Kno,e. nothing
faction have agreed to support him under bis
Wing nomination, and expect to elect him.
This would doubtless carry the whole Wing
State ticket with it. Then there are members
of Congress to be elected, and the most popular
candidate as Why, happens to be CArHo-
Lac. The "Know-pothihgs" object to his NOM
ination, as a violation of the bargain under
which they united their forces to those of the
Wings, and he is sci aside-and thus the forces
of Know-nothingism are enlisted in support of
all the Wing nominations for Congress in tie
State. Then, again, by this little movement
the 'Hpo,itical elements" in Philadelphia, of
of which the Latsligencer processes to know
nothing, the whole strength of the new faction
goes for the Wing nominees for members of the
legislature throughout the State And should
they succeed in electing their governor, they
win, in all probability, obtain Wing majority
in the Legislature. This would enable the Wing
party to elect United States senator at the
next session And, then, best of all, it may
be the intention-it may be a part Of the ar
rangement in the late movement of the "poli-
tical elements" to elect the Hon. Joseph e.
Chandler to that high place.
But we would be 10th to believe that Mr..
Chandler would enter into such scheme.
We have entertained different opinion of his
integrity. 1t is, to be sure, matter of record,
that when the Anti-mosonic party was in the
zenith of its strength in Pennsylvania, and
succeeded in electing Joseph Ritner governor,
and majority in the Legislature, Mr.. Chand-
Ter, as the editor of the United States Gazette,
of Philadelphia, was one of the leading cham
pions in the campaign, although he was then,
we believe, the Grand Master Of the Grand
Lodge OF Pennsytcdntd! His 1ldetAy TO his
party, is now to have another trial. His RELI
GIoN--the chain connecting his existence here
with his existence hereafter, Is assailed by the
enemy--an enemy who tells him that he dare
not "ioorship GOD according to the dictates
of has opn conscience" And we seriously
ask, can he now contradict his whole reli-
gious life, by adhering to party which en-
dorses the ana,hemas hurled against the tenets
Of that life? Can he become Judas and aid
in sacrificing his church and all belonging to
it, at the altar of the Unirersal Wing party,
under the plea put forth by the Lntelhgencer,
that he "cdnnot conceire" WHY he was not
renominated asa candidate for Congress! Will
the National Intelligencer give us more light
upon tho subject?

MIR. PEAsops,s LETTER.

As we published extracts from the letter
that appeared in the Boston Post, some six or
eight weeks since, giving an account Of Mr..
George Peabodys fourth OF July dinner, in
London, and accompanied those extracts with
such structures as we thought just and proper,
il IS but right that we should present TO our
readers tie vindicatory letter Of Mr. Peabody,
which we find in the Boston Post. That letter
is published in the Sentinel Of this morning.
We have read il attentively, aud with every
disposition to do justice 70 its author. He con.
tradicts several Of the statements contained in
the publication Of his assailant, and endeavors
to explain away others. But Mr.. Peabody no
where denies that the honors Of that great ma
tional occasion were surrendered TO England,
when the toasts we're read, by giving to the
Queen precedence over the head of The Ameri-
can government. Indeed, be admits this. In
the language Of the lawyers be confesses and
avoids.
Nor does Mr. Peabody anywhere deny that
" Hail Columbia and "The Star Spangled
Banner" we're mutilated on the occasion OF his
great feast, by the omission Of such verses as
we're too purely American in their character to
be altogether agreeable 10 the ears and Feelings
Of his English guests.
After careful perusal Of Mr.. Peabody's
letter, we entertain precisely the same opinions
in regard to that gentleman's fourth Of July
dinner, that we entertained before. il was bad
taste to mix Americans and Engishmen to-
gether on such an occasion, on English ground
it was bad TASTE to say the least Of il, to stiae
the outgushing Of honest American patriotism,
in compliment to English guests; il was bad
taste to place the Queen, although lady, and
however worthy Of honor, over the head Of the
nation whose birthday was being celebrated
it was certainly wretched taste to mutilate on
patriotic occasion, the patriotic songs Of
America, which by not denying, Mr.. Peabody
seems 10 admit. But we submit the letter &c
our readers without further comment

Riot In Newars. New Jersey.

NEW YoRx, Sept. Ga procession oftb- Amer
can Protestant Association Of lodges Of the State
OF New Jersey. mostly composed Of lrishmen
took place in Newark yesterday. Nearly two
thousand persons in the line.
Whilst the procession was passing William
street. near High street, about four clock in the
afternoon, the immediate vicinity OF the Roman
Catholic church. aud a neighborhood .hickly pop.
uated with Irish, collision occurred between the
Catholics and the procession, and n the end OF tie
procession came along. man in the line was
knocked down. and, at tn. same time one or two
shots were fred from the Catholic church.
This was the signal for general riot. The en-.
tire procession broke the lines, and entered the
church, which, ia few minutes, was completely
riddlcd, the doors and windows broken in, the
seats torn up, altar dismsntled, and organ de-
stroyed.
Many pistols were fred during the melee, and
other weapons used. John Mccarthy was fatally
wounded, and another Irishman severely cut
Great excitement prevailed, and further difficulty
was anticipated.
