fishing public ferry over the Susquehanna ri
yer, near Ulster, giving justices of the peace
power to collect penalties under said act; also,
a remonstrance from two hundred and two citi-
zens of Ulster and adjoining townships, against
the repeal of the act establishing the ferry
above referred to-
Mr.. LAPoRTE presented remonstrance from
citizens of Bradford county, against the repeal
of the law establishing a ferry over the Sus-
quehanna river near Ulster, in said county
Mr. LAPoRrE, one from citizens of Bradford
county, for law authorizing the laying out of
State road in the counties of Sullivan and
Bradford.
The General Appropriation Bill being un-
der consideration in the Committee of the
Whole in the House, Mr.. M'CoMB offered the
following as an additional section, which was
adopted =
Sec. 55. For the Towanda bridge company
for the purpose of repairing their bridge and
building a towing path attached TO said bridge
for the use of the Commonwealth, ten thousand
five hundred dollars, to be paid by the State
Treasurer as the work progresses, upon est-
mates furnished by the Superintendent of the
North Branch canal But nothing shall be
paid under this section, until the Canal Com
missioners have entered into written contract
with said company, thereby securing full pro-
lection to this Commonwealth in the use of
said bridge and the maintenance thereof
Mr.. MCLNrocK, of the Senate offered re-
solution for the appointment of two additional
members of each House, on the committee of
Conference on the Liquor bill which was adop-
ted. The Speaker subsequently appointed
Messrs. BUcKALEw and FLENIkES on the Com
mittee
In the House. the Senate resolution calling
for an increase of the Committee of Conference
on the Liquor question, by the appointment of
two additional members from each House, was
concurredin. Messrs. HILL, Of Westmoreland
and EDDINGER, of Monroe, are the additional
members on the part of the House
The Committees, as originally appointed by
the two Houses, failed to agree, and this is
new effort to effect settlement of the points
of difference. These are understood to have
been the reduction, by the House, of the mini
mum rate of tavern licences, the reduction of
the ratio in which tavern licences are to be
granted out of the cities from 200 to 100 taxa
bles, and the licensing of restaurants to sell do
mestic wines and malt liquors. All the other
points of difference, the Senate Committees
yielded
Mr.. BUcKALEw called up Senate bill No
344, to incorporate the North Branch Coal and
Iron company. Passed to second reading and
laid over.

Our Relations with England.
Correspondence of the Tribune.]

WASHINGTON, March 10, 1856
Mr.. Buchanan's letters by the Arabia an
nounce that the feeling in political circles in
England toward the United States is much
modified on present differences The reaction
is even stronger than indicated by the press,
and is favorable to a reasonable adjustment.
No difficulty is now anticipated on that score,
although there has been no very recent con-
ferences, owing to Lord Clarendon's absence
at Paris.
Lord Palmerston's Government is regarded
as tOttering, having been twice beaten in Par
lament, including the Pecrage question and
one Police measure which was withdrawn
1t is supposed that any treaty of peace would
unseat him, if his retirement should not be pre-
cipitated by other issues
Some apprehension is entertained as to the
political effect of the publication of the enlist
ment and Central American correspondence
The recent friendly demonstrations toward Mr..
Buchanan will remain until his successor ar
rives, whom Nj. Buchanan will present imme-
diately. Perhaps Mr.. Dallas may be Install
ed tomorrow.
Two afidavits have been received by the
Government from commissioned officers attach
ed to the Foreign Legion, stating that the
British Fice-Consul, Mr. Stanley, agreed to
pay them and such others as were under in
dctment or held to bail for recruiting, and
they received $72 monthly until recently, when
Mr.. Stanley told them he was going to Wash
ing to close affairs, and asked them lor cor
reSpondence and other documents in their pos
session These were delivered nimistaken con-
fdence, and then the men were discarded
Hence came the publicity

LATER FROM KANsAs.-The Independence
correspondent of the Republican telegraphs
that the Free Legislature had adjourned to
Lawrence and was in session there on Satur-
day. Gov Shannon had gone there to ascer-
tain what was being done. Violence was ap-
pretended
There was some little excitement on the bor-
der One hundred Sharp's rifles and two can
non had been intercepted at Lexington, and
held by the citizens, subject to Gov. Shanaon's
order
The st. Louis Domocrat, of the 18TH has
letter from Topeka, dated the Sth, stating that
the Free State Legislature, in joint convention,
had elected Gov REEDER u S. Senator on the
first ballot, and Mr.. LANE on the second. Each
received 3S votes. Fifty-six members were
present.
A gentleman at Washington, just arrived
from Kansas, reports that Governor Shannon
was twelve days reaching the border Territory
from st. Louis. He was detained three days
on the river bank in consequence of the OBJ
struction to navigation by the ice. The Free
State Legislature assembled before Gov Shan
non reached the place of meeting. The gen.
tiemen alluded to has no doubt, judging from
information obtained there, that the officers of
the new Government have, ere this, been ar
rested by the Federal authorities.

FIRE.-The dwelling house of JOIN Ray.
DALI, situated near Dayidson's mills, in Sheshc.
quin, was destroyed by FIRE ON Saturday even.
Ing last. The fire was first discouered about
8 o'clock, and SO rapid was the progress of the
flames, that it was with great excrtions that a
portion of the furniture in the lower part Of
the house was saved. 1t is supposed that the
fire originated from stove pipe The loss is
nearly covered by an insurance which expired
the next day ut noon.

NEw-HAMPsHIRE ELECrIoN.-Returns have
been received from all but about dozen small
towns in this State, which cannot, says The
Boston Atias, have cast 500 votes altogether,
and the result for Governor foots up as follows ::
MErcALFE, Am. Rep, 30,919 WELLS, Pierce
Dem, 81 ,493 GOODWIN, Whig, 1887 Scat
tering, l4l.
The Senate according to the latest inteIli-
gence, stands American Republicans and 4
Pierce men. The returns are not quite com
plete, but the result is not likely to vary from
the above. The aggregate vote for Senators,
which shows the relative strength of parties in
the State-there being only two regular can
didates running in each districts as follows !:
American Republicans, 33, POS Pierce Demo-
Gratis, 81, ,643. Majority against Pierce De-
mocrats, 1862.
The House stands l62 Opposition, to 1876

sss- In this region, there are no men who
denounce the National Administration more
unsparingly than the Hunkers. There are no
epithets strong enough in their vocabulary to
express their detcstation of President PIERCE
Yet the State Convention unanimously adopted
the following resolution =
Resolred That we fully endorse the administration of
President PIERCE as y ALTON AL, FAITHFUL, AND EF-
FlClENTully equal TO all the important emergencies
which the country has had to encounter that he
worhy maintained her interests honor at home aud
abroad
Where were the delegates from Bradford
when this resolution was adopted ? Or is it
necessary to be one thing at home aud another
thing at Harrisburg.
The fact is that there is no good reason why
the Hunkers should denounce PIERCE. He has
only been doing what they are ready themselves
to perform. He has been consistently dough
face, and should receive the support of the en-
tire dough-face family. Should he be re-nomi-
mated, of which there is now every probability,
those who are now denouncing him wonld be
the most jealous supporters of his reelection

TERRIBLE EARTHoUAKE IN JAPAS.-Accord.
ing to reports from San Francisco, Japan has
been visited with another terrible earthquake,
which has destroyed the city of Jeddo and
about thirty Thousand inhabitants. This is
the second capital of the country, and resi-
dence of the Military Governor. Its popula-
tion, according to the Dutch traders, who are
about the only persons who know anything re-
liable about it. is million and half of per-
sons. The japanese Islands are part of
line of volcanic action, which extend from the
Aleutian Islands to the Bay of Bengal, and
the country is subject to great devastation
In 1888, an earthquake occurred at Yesso,
which destroyed twenty-three villages. One
in 1892 destroyed $4,000 people. A little
more than year ago, Russian frigate was
entirely destroyed by RI earthquake, While ly-
