WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 12. Important from Mexico ! By last night’s Express mail, we received New Orleans slips, announcing the arrival of the Steam Ship Meteor in 60 hours from Vera Cruz, bring ing the intelligence that a French fleet of three frigates and two bomb vessels had attacked and battered down the castle of St. Juan de Llloa, which commands the entrance to the port of Vera Cruz. The attack lasted four hours, and the cas tle was defended by 160 pieces of cannon. The loss of the Mexicans was dreadful; one of their Magazines was exploded by a bomb shell, produ cing death and destruction, and hundreds were killed by the fragments of the falling castle. The port of Vera Cruz is now open to all na tions.—We shall give the particulars to-morrow. Another Ktcnm-bcat Explosion. The, New Orleans Courier slip received last night, brings intelligence of the blowing up of the steamboat Augusta, between Natchez and Vicksburg. The explosion was awful, killing (yt wounding nearly every one on board, thirty' or forty—in all. Lafayette Knees.

McClung, of Madison, Speaker of the House. The former is a State Rights’ Sub-Treasury man, and the latter a Special Dcpositc System man. We were shown yesterday' at the office of the Georgia Insurance & Trust Company, a pair of most beautiful and splendid Silver Pitchers, in tended as a present to Mr. Thomas D. Rice, of Crawfordville Geo., as a token of the Company’s regard for his manly and extraordinary exertions at the fire in that village on the 9th of Sep 1 ember last, whereby a building was saved from destruc tion, upon which the Company had a heavy insu rance. Each Pitcher bears the following inscrip y° n— -1 “ The Georgia Insurance V Trust Company, To THOMAS D. RICE, „ Sept. Bth, .1838.” The company have also purchased a handsome watch, to he presented to his son John H. Rice, a lad of 13 or 14 years of age, who gallantly mounted the roof of the House during the lire and did much to save the building. Pennsylvania. The difficulties in this unhappy and distractej State grow worse and worse, instead of better. At the date of the last accounts from Harrisburg, there had been no session of either branch of the Legislature for two days, the mob having had un disturbed control of the State House for that time. It will be seen that a division of the militia from the city of Philadelphia has been called out by Gov. Ritncr. A brief explanation of the causes which have led to this unparalleled state of affairs may not be unacceptable to our readers, many of whom are not perhaps conversant with the circumstan . cos. We shall endeavor to state them, so far as we understand them, without partiality and with I equal justice to both parties. The County of Philadelphia is entitled, embra cing a portion of the city, to two members of Con gress and eight .representatives to the Legisla ture. At the late election, Charles Naylor, a Whig, was elected over C. J. Ingersoll, a Van Huron man, for one District, and Lemuel Payn i ter, aV. B. man, was elected in the other over J. I B. Sutherland, Conservative. The two Districts f voting together for County members elected the ", Van Buren Ticket. It is provided that one pre_ ■ siding magistrates from each precinct shall meet ■ within three days after the election, to consolidate B the different returns, declare the result of the B election, and give certificates to those elected. £ There were seventeen of these return judges, ten | Van Buren men and seven Whigs. They met on the third day after the election, being the last $ allowed by law to make their returns. The Ic * gality of the returns for a portion of the third Con gressional District was contested by Mr. Ingersoll ! kUtLMaMMHHHaaMMMHMaiMMfIiIBHHnMaMWi the defeated candidate, who succeeded in indu cing the ten V. B.return Judges to set aside the whole vote of the Northern Liberties, contrary to every thing like law or honesty, which leaving him a majority of the votes in the balance of the District, they gave him the certificate of election. Itlieing late, the Judges then adjourned without consolidating the returns for County members. The Whig judges, however met again, and each produced the return for his own precinct, by which it appeared that the Whig candidates had a ma jority, and they were accordingly declared duly elected, the certificate given to them, and a re turn made to the Sheriff, the proper ofliccr to re ceive it, before the hour of twelve at night, of the last day allowed by law to make the returns. This return was forwarded by the Sheriff to the scat of Government, and the Whigs were regis tered in the office of the Secretary of State as the members elect for Philadelphia County. The Van Buren Judges met again the next day, and comparing the returns of their several precincts declared the candidates of their party to be elected and made a return to the Sheriff, who declined to receive it on the ground that the time limited by law for him to make his return had expired and he had no authority to accept it. In this condition matters stood until the meet ing of the Legislature, when each set of Repre sentatives appeared and claimed their seats—the Whigs having the legal right upon the face of the returns made in pursuance of law, and the Van Buren men the highest number of actua l votes. The whole controversy has had its origin in the conduct of Ingersoll and the ten Van Buren Judges in sotting aside the vote of the Northern Jabcrtics. The mob which has assembled at Har risburg, has for its object the prevention, by force and violence, of the Whigs from taking their seats under their certificates of election, and to compel the Legislature to receive the Van Buren men. The mob arc chiefly foreigners carried to Harris burg by an officer of the General Government to bully and brow-beat the Legislature at its very bar. Such scenes have seldom been witnessed i" America before, and have their parallels only, in the history of the French Revolution. Another Reported Defalcation. WILLIAM M. PKICE, the United Slates Dis trict Attorney for the Southern District of Now York, has suddenly resigned Ids office and left for Europe m the steamer Liverpool, unknown, until afier his departure, to any person whatever. The New York Journal of Commerce says— “ Tbo posBQgR of Mr price was not engaged be forehand, nor was Mr. Hoyt, the Collector, apprised of Ini intention, until he learned alter tlie ship Imd gone, that the District Atlorncy was also gone. On the contrary, in a conversation between them on the pievious evening, Mr. Price said lie should start for Washington yesterday, and ho actually sent one of his sons to wait for him at the Phila delphia bool; and he was so waiting while Ins father was embarking in the Liverpool. Immense sums of money have been passing through the hands of the District Attorney tor along lime.— The extended bonds ho claimed the righTof retain ing at his office for collection, ami they amounted to millions. „ He tins lost very heavily by bets on the recent Slate election, and those bets he lias promptly paid. We are told he left a letter behind him addressed t.) the President of (lie United States, complaining of the manner in which the Collector. Mr. Swart wout, has been treated. All the members of Mr. Price’s family appear to have been entirely igno rant of his design. The regular emoluments of bis office j,dtiring the last two years must have been very great. The circumstances have excited much surprise, and apprehension that uncomfortable disclosures are to follow.” The letter alluded to is his resignation, alledging that he is unwilling to be the instrument of prosecu ting Mr. Swartwout and his securities in the man ner determined upon by tb i Government, believ ing it to be unconstitutional. He claims to have enough due him by Government for fees and com missions, to cover whatever amount of public funds he may have in his bands. The Courier and En- Uuirer speaking ol this subject, says ; “Os his departure there can he no doubt; and it, is equally evident from his letter to the Presi dent of the United Stales, which we give below, that he is a defaulter, but relics upon his fees of office to cover the amount of his defalcation. In this we have no confidence. Corruption has been the order ol the day ; and we verily believe that if the records at Washington are not destroy ed before an investigation can be had by a Whig Committee of Congress, it will appear that the defalcations under the administrations of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren exceed twenty millions of dollars." Will not these matters—these repeated defalca tions, which tread so closely upon the heels us each oilier, awaken the people of riu United S tales to the existence oflhatsyslematic corruption w hich lias been carried on under the glorions adminis tration of Jackson and Van Buren? Wo shall see! M e learn from the Nashville Banner that Col. Samuel P. Carson, formerly a representative in Congress from North Carolina, died at the Hot Springs, in Arkansas, on the 2d ult. Correspondence of the Constitutionalist. Milleugeville, Dec. 7, 1838. In the House, yesterday afternoon, the debate on the bill miscalled Free Banking by its friends, was brought to a close. On the final passage of the bill, the yeas were 84, and the nays 71, as fol lows : For the bill, Messrs.

Members absent 24. Two of the representatives from Richmond de. serve great credit, and the thanks of their consti tuents, for the zeal they exhibited during the pro ceedings of the House on this bill, and their unre initted exertions so to modify and amend its pro visions as to render it less objectionable and per nicious in its operations. I was particularly well pleased with the remarks of Mr. Jenkins, just be fore the yeas and nays were taken. I was agree ably disappointed to find that the majority was not so large as I expected. The ordeal it has to pass through, before this bill becomes a law, may lead to its prostration : The Senate may prevent this wild scheme from entailing everlasting injury upon the state. J his morning in the House, on a motion to re consider the bill, the vote was yeas 05, nays 95. Decembers. Phe bill to charter the Waynesboro Railroad and Banking Company, was taken up yesterday in the House. Thu motion to strike out the banking powers provided for in the bill to the company, was carried by the decisive vote of 101 against 45. The bill passed the House this mor ning, but in its present shape, the company has no banking privileges. This vote decides the fate of several other bills for the incorporation of rail road companies with banking powers. In the House this morning, the bills to pardon Jarvis Brook, now in the W ilkcsCounty Jail,fur murder, and William Porter, in the Pike County Jail, also for murder, passed and were sent to the other house. The Central Railroad bill was taken up in the Senate this morning, and made the order for Mon day next. CEXSCS OF 3838. < A T 8 111 fin l! .

It is with pain we lay before our readers an account of a fatal affray, which took place m this city on Monday last, between Mr. John A. Wylly and Dr. Tho. j I*. Hazzard, both ol this county, which resulted in the death ol the former. Most of our readers in this section arc no doubt aware that a dispute | has existed between these two gentlemen for some | time past. It appears, however, that Dr. H. had j recently addressed a letter to the mother of the I deceased which was the immediate cause of the t attack. J hey met on the piazza of the Oglethorpe House, mid after exchanging a lew words, Mr. str «ck Hr. H. with a cane. Judge Henry who was here holding a term of the Superior Court, and Col. Dubignon happening to be pres ent, immediately interfered and succeeded in sep arating them. A short time after, Mr. Wylly again met Dr. Hazzard in the entry of the house and spit in his face, when the latter drew a pistol and fired, the ball ot which passed directly through I Mr. W s heart. He reeled a moment, at the j same time striking at the Dr. with his cane, then I fell and expired instantly. Mr. W. was a young , man being in his 32d year, and has left an aged I mother and numerous connexions to mourn his sudden death. Dr. H. was arrested on the spot, and the ease immediately laid before the Grand Jury, who, af ter a patient investigation, returned a verdict of 'oluntary manslaughter. —Brunswick Advocate. 0 Knv West, Nov. 14. hnicwnKeif.—'J’he Steamboat Wilmington, of Wilmington, Delaware, Captain John Gallagher, h orn I hJadelphia, and bound to Mobile, sprung a leak on the morning of the 19th hist, about 60 miles north of Cape Florida, and for the safety of those on board, it was deemed advisable to put her ashore, where she sunk in two fathoms water.

From the Baltimore American, Dec. 8, Latest from Harrisburg. By last night’s Susquehanna Kail road Cars we received the Harrisburg Telegraph, extra, is sued on the evening of Thursday the fith hist.— It contains an Address “to the people of the Com monweal of Pennsylvania,” signed by Mr. Pen rose, Speaker ol the Senate, and eighteen other Senators. The length of the Address, and the lateness of the hour at which it reached us, pre vent its publication entire. Its opening paragraph is as follows : * “The undersigned, Senators of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, duly elected, returned, and qualified according to the Constitution and Laws, and composing a majority of that body, feel called upon, by the novel and dangerous cir cumstances which have attended the meeting of the Legislature, to lay before the people ot the State a bricl account of the occurrences at the Seat of Government, on the fourth day of Decem ber, 1838, in order that they may (dearly under stand the position in which their representatives are now placed by an illegal arid insurrectionary assemblage of persons at present in the borough of Harrisburg. [Here follows a minute narration of the facts and proceedings connected with the opening of the session and the organization of the Senate, in cluding the election of Speaker, and the swearing in of the newly elected Senators—the substance ol which has heretofore been published. The Address then proceeds as follows.] On motion Messrs. Barclay and Pearson were appointed a Committee to wait on the House of Representatives, and announce that the Senate was now organized, and ready to proceed with business. Alibis time Mr. Brown, of the County ot Philadelphia, not being a member of the Sen ate, rose and attempted to address the Senate, and mi being informed that he could not he permitted to proceed, the mob in the galleries and lobbies commenced making intimidating noises and threats, crying out, Brown ! Brown! hear him! hear him!—reconsider your resolution—we will have our rights, &c. &c. Amidst this tumult, Mr. Rogers,a Senator from Bucks county, rose and moved that Mr. Brown be permitted to address the Senate, which, being seconded by Mr. Ewing, a Senator from Wash ington county, who was prompted by a fear of personal violence to the Speaker, and threats of bloodshed from the mob then pressing within the bar of the Senate, was agreed to. Mr. Brown having pledged his honor to Messrs. Miller and I raley, Senators from Philadelphia, not to use any inflammatory remarks, made a speech which he professed to be intended to subdue the excite ment in the galleries and to induce the mob to disperse; but the warmth of bis feelings carried him into great impropriety both of speech and manner, declaring that we were in the midst of a Revolution, and that there was an end of constitu tional government, occasionally addressing them in a supplicating manner; invoking them to be quiet, and asking whether they were prepared to trample the Constitution and Laws under foot, and shed the best blood of the Commonwealth to attain their ends. To these questions, the mob responded yes,yes, we will; and accompanied their assent with horrible cries of give us blood if we cannot have our rights. Mr. Brown at length concluded, and on motion of Mr. Bell, of Chester, the Senate agreed to meet daily at 10 o’clock in the morning, and then ad journed, the mob rushing within the bar of the Senate before the speaker had announced the de cision. The Senate Chamber was then taken . possession of by the mob, and most inflammatory I 1 speeches addressed to them by several of their loaders, and that hitherto sacred apartment has subsequently, whenever the Senate attempted to assemble, been filled with rioters, threatening vio- Icnl.iutcrferencc with the business of the Senate until their demands were acceded to. 'To such a fearful height was the excitement carried, that the, ~ speaker of the Senate and several of the members ' were compelled, under threats of personal injury, to escape by the windows of the Capitol. 'I he unlawful and riotous assemblages of the misguided and dangerous men, have been con tinued several limes, at the State Capitol and Court House of the county of Dauphin, and the Senate is now unable to proceed with their legiti mate functions,and they accordingly announce ‘a the people ol the State, that their representatives cannot with safety attend the Halls of legislation, until the insurrectionary and riotous assemblages, by which they are now threatened witli violence, j are quelled by the arm of the Constitutional power ol the .State, or a return to reason and duty shall induce them to disperse, CHARLES I). PENROSE, Speaker of the Senate. And eighteen others. We find also in the Extra the Proclamation issued by Governor Ritner, a copy of which is annexed; PENNSYLVANIA, m: JN the name and by the Authority A SKAI f ofth»i Commonwealth of Pennsylva ) Cnia, by JOSEPH RITNER, Gov ornor ot the said Commonwealth: A Proclamation. U hereas, a lawless, intonated, armed mob, from the counties of Philadelphia, Lancaster, Ad ams, and other places, have assembled at the seal of Government, with the avowed object of distur bing, interrupting and over-awing the legislature ot this Commonwealth, and of preventing its proper organization and the peaceable and free discharge of its duties. Ami Whereas, 'Hie said mob have already on this day, entered the Senate Chamber, and in nn outrageous and violent manner by cla moring, shouting and threatening violence and death to some of the members of that body, and other fWlTcors of the Government; and finally by rushing within the bar of the Senate Chamber, in defiance of every effort to restrain them, compell ed the Senate to suspend business. And Whereas, They still remain here in force, encouraged by a person who is nn officer of the General Government, from Philadelphia, and are setting (he law at open defiance, and rendering it unsafe for the Legislative bodies to assemble in the Capitol: therefore, This is to call upon the civil au thority to exert themselves to restore order to the utmost of their power, and upon the military force of the Commonwealth, to hold themselves in in stant readiness to repair to the seat ofGovernment; and njion all good citizens to aid in curbing this law less mob, and in reinstating the supremacy of the law.

ER’S ACADEMY. 11IIE exercises of this institution will be resum ed on the first Monday in January, under the direction of Mr. Jesse C. Paulett, Principal, whose character and abilities, as an instructor, are so well known, that wo deem it unnecessary to say r any tiling of them byway of recommendation. The female department will he underthe care of Miss Mary McClcsky, who has taught a female school in Athens the present year, with general satisfaction to her patrons, and who is recommend ed in very high terms by Rev. N. Hoyt, and other gentlemen in Athens, of highest respectability.— We, therefore, feel assured that we hazard nothing in saying that Miss McClcsky will prove an able and faithful instructress, as well as a trustworthy guardian of the morals and general deportment of the young ladies who may be placed under her charge. In the department of music, tho services of Mr. I’. (i. Gottenberger have been engaged. Os Mr, (1. we will say to those who wish their sons and daughters to learn music, that he is a native of Ger many. a country celebrated for the industry and skill of its citizens in the sciences generally, and particularly in the science of music. In addition to. thi«, Mr. (i. has many testimonials of the most am ple character, together with the experience of seve ral years of very successful teaching. That lie is amongst tho best music teachers, in point of skill, and superior to most teachers, in point of industry, his testimonials, and the experience of those who have taken lessons under him fully prove. Mr. (J. is prepared to give lessons on the Guitar, Flute’, Violin, and several other instruments, as well as on the Piano. Wo deem if proper to state that the male and fe male departments will he kept in separate houses, situated at a short distance from each other. Doth schools arc placed under the supervision of the Prin cipal, and the young ladies who may be engaged in those studies, in which the apparatus is used, and in the languages, will recite to him. By this ar rangement, the I rustees believe they have secured the advantages, without the disadvantages, of a mixed school. The school is furnished with an ex tensive apparatus. The location is exceedingly healthy. 'Die morals of pupils are well guarded j (every species of vice, arising from drinking or re tailing spirits, being effectually and permanently excluded from the village and its vicinitv,) and the teachers employed have ability and faithfulness.—- We, therefore, recommend the institution to the public with the utmost confidence.
