There is a law in Pennsylvania that requires the jS nks in that State, east of the mountains to keep siieir notes at par in Philadelphia, and those west | c the mountains, in Pittsburg. Judge Pearson, f Harrisburg, a few days ago, decided that under ae law notes of a bank are at par whenever they :,re equal to gold and silver for ordinary purposes. f:.<- phrase “ at par,” he holds, does not mean that a- paper must be received in the custom house, at :he city banks, or by the brokers. If the notes are in valent to gold and silver for all ordinary busi ness transactions, they are at par within the true intent and meaning of the act.

The following are the cardinal points of the ] : eumeiv.s accompanying the President's Message, j relation to our affairs with Great Britain : Mr. Marev, in June of 1854, declares, in a de- I ■■ catch to Mr. Buchanan, that this Government ' i .a never yield to the British pretension that the j [ .ayton-Bulwcr Treaty was only prospective in its I i eration.

[ A predetermination to interfere with our affair, f s manifested, will render the continuance of j [ ir amicable relations with her precarious.

I he Great Seal ol' the United. States. At the late annual meeting of the New York Historical Society, held on the 2d inst., Mr. Bexj. J. Losstno read a very interesting paper on the “ Great Seal of the United States.” The reader prefaced his remarks by an interesting account of the history of seals and armorial bearing in Europe and in Great Britain down to the present time. Prior to the Revolution, the seals of the Colo nies were supplied b v the mother countrv. ’ In the .Summer of 1778, the Continential Congress ap pointed Dr. Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson to prepare a design for a seal of the Uni ted States of America. The views of the three upon the subject were contained in a letter written by John Adams to his wife. The subject was more extensively treated of by Mr. Jefferson in a letter i and a drawing, in which he adapted some of Dr. ■ Franklin’s views, of the escutcheon proposed bv i Jefferson, was shown to the society. Their plans ! were never adopted—more important business pro- ! bablv being before the Congress to prevent action upon tiie subject. The matter was agaiu taken up I in 1780, when it was referred to another committee I which made two reports. In 1782 the subject was ! referred to Charles Thompson, the Secretary of i Congress, who called to his assistance a Mr. Bar ton, who, on the 20th of June, 1782, submitted a device which was adopted and has been used ever since. Mr. Lossiug said that it was doubtful whether the idea of the device submitted by Bar ton was original with him, as a letter written by Thomas Barrett, an eminent antiquarian of Matt- j Chester, England, in 1818, states that Sir John j Prestewitch informed him that he had originally I suggested the device to an American Minister in i England. The Minister was John Adams, who was I then there and who was a member of the commit- j tee originally appointed by the Empress on the j subject. A motion of thanks was voted to Mr. Lossing for his interesting paper, and a copy of the same was requested for publication. From the We it Point Beacon, Jan. 5. Senator Douglas. The health of this distinguished gentleman, which for a long time has been so feeble as to oc casion great anxiety on the part of his friends and countryman everywhere, we rejoice to learn by the following letter, addressed to a gentleman lately in our midst, is improving, and that he hopes to be able in a jew weeks to resume his seat in the Se nate of the United States; Terre Haute, Ind., Dec. 18. j J ly Dear Sir: Your kind letter of September j has followed me from place to place, during my canvass, and at last overtook me on mv sick bed ! in this place. It would have afforded mo very ! great pleasure to have attended the meeting, pro- I posed to be had at Atlanta, if I could have spared the time from my labors in the Northwest. I certainly rejoice as much as yourself at your ; glorious triumph in Georgia. A triumph equally j decided and brilliant awaits us at the I’residentia! j election, if we are true to ourselves and our princi- j pies. We must make no compromise with the j enemy—no concession to the allied isms—no co- ’ alitiohs with factions, but fight and crush all the i enemies of the State Rights and Constitutional ! liberty, under whatever banner they may rally. My health is improving, and I hope to be able to | proceed to Washington in a few weeks. Very respectfully, S. A. Docolas. Thos. D. Harris, Esq. T’ht/rapiitd to the Baltimore Patriot.' Washington, Jan. 3.—Sbn \te. —The financial re port of the Secretary of the Treasury was received. Mr. Mason moved that ten thousand copies bo printed by the printer to the Senate of the last Congress. A discussion ensued as to the power of the Sen ate to take such action since it would, t'as was con tended on one side,) boa violation or evasion of the law of the last session relative to the public printers.

' Henry Clay Dean, the present chaplain to the Uni- j _ U-o States Senate, was some vears ago a resident | i of Northwestern Virginia. While preaching one j day at a church situated a few miles from Fair- i K. mount, he was annoyed by the inattention of his > al ! congregation as manifested in turning their heads j M t > see everybody who came in. “Brethren,” said he, bi j “ it is very difficult to preach when thus interrupt- j i ad.
