MONDAY MOUSING, DUD DM DDR, 3. Tho Legislature. A motion was made in tho House ofKoprescu tatives cm the UBth, ti re-consider the bill, which passed that body on the day previous, to call a Convention to reduce the number of members of the. Legislature, which was lost, yeas 54, nays 101. In tne Monatc the consid -ration of the Central Rail Road bill was resumed, and on motion to lay it on the table for the remainder of the session, the yeas were 41), nays 39. And on tire follow ing day a motion was made to re-consider the vote to lay the bill on the table for tho remainder of th ■ session, which was carried, yeas 49, nays 33 ; so the bill is still before tho Senate lor con sideration. The Chairman of the Committee on Internal Improvements, made a report to the Senate, on the various subjects which had been referred to that committee. I In the House on the 39th the hill to organize {( Supremo Court was taken up : And on motion was laid on the table for the remainder of the ses sion. y Prom Central America. \ Letters of the 37th nit., from Belize, llondu- ' ras, received at New-York, state that the Province of Guatamala, was again in a complete state of revolution, the rebel chief Carora having taken up arms against the Government for the second time, and with the aid of about 1000 men had captured the old city of Guatamala, nearly every house and church he had robbed. He was sub- Ha'.piently driven out by Gen. Lalagar, from near Guatamala, after a severe action, in which 300 of his followers were killed. President Marazon at tho head of 3000 men from St. Salvador, was in pursuit of the rebels, and hopes were enter tained that the revolution would bo soon sup pressed. In consequence of the disturbed con dition of tho country, the com crop of Cochineal lndigo were^pcet^^bcmcr^^vt. In consequence of the sudden change ol the weather in New York on the 27th, holders of Flour put up tho prices 13-1 cents on the barrel. Slocks were on the decline, and there appears to be no firmness in the market. The U. S. Rank was drawing on London to go by the next steam packet on the sth instant. The/-; team Frigate Fulton. The hew York American says that notwith standing the many mistakes made in the first arrangement and fitting out of the Fulton, she is, at last, not altogether a failure. We have it on good authority, that on a trial of speed with the Great Western, on the occasion of the departure of the latter vessel, the Fulton proved her supe riority. Eveii without any fuel on board, she is depressed beyond her intended bearings ns A.much as if loaded with coal for twenty day’s con sumption. She carries the same pressure of steam as when at sea in a heavy blowy and has often worked with higher steam, and made more revolutions, even with her coal-holds full. The Globe of Wednesday the 28th ult., says, “Information has been received at the department of State, under date of the 10th of October, from Turin, that the health officer of Genoa has just determined, under a decision which has received the King’s sanction, that goods coming from North America shall in future be admitted to free preti que, upon condition that they come provided with a certificate, besides tuo dean bill of health, from a consular agent of his .Majesty, (the King of Sar dinia) or from any other European Consul resi ding in the place from which they sailed, to the effect that tho said country is exempt from any contagious disease, and especially from yellow se er.” Messrs. Rapine iu and Nelson, were in New York on the 27th ult. Mr. Papineau,itis stated, is opposed to all the kilo movements in tho United States intended for the Canadians. James Primrose, Esq., of Pictou, Nova Scotia, has been recognised as Consul of tho United States for that port, by the British Government. The number of deaths in the city of Philadel phia for the week ending 34th ult., was 65, of which 29 were under 3 years of age. From Vie Mobile Chronicle, Nov. 38. There appears to he a strong desire to convey to the public mind the impression of the U. S. Bank bring iu t ic Cotton market, and exercising an improper inlluonco therein. We have made inquiries on the subject, but can learn nothing to justify tho belief that this institution has tho dived control of a single bale, although it is not IsPTo doubted that moans have been furnished her customers for their operations. Whatever objections there exist on general principles to the interference of any Banking institution with the trade and commerce of the country, still it must be granted that tho facilities afforded by the U. S. Bank have been tho means of preserving our great staple from such a prostration as would have ruined all concerned ; —the southwestern portion ofahe Union should bo the last to complain of friendly interposition, and we wish that we couln tr.'l authorized to congratulate the planting on a prospect of their obtaining through winter 3 tv 3 cents a lb. more for their Cot ton, than under other circumstances then could C*£rr,. " ——— ’ Mini || Canada Movements, 'J'iie Detroit Daily Advertiser states that Gen. Brady, accompanied by a detachment of the U. troops, left that city on the forenoon of the iOtii last.,on board the steamboat Illinois, for the purpose of intercepting one or two steamboats that are supposed to be in the employment of the “Patriot ’ forces, and which, it is said, wore to leave Cleaveknd on the 19lh and 20th, with the view ol rendezvousing at sjin? point below De troit, prepatory to making a landing on the Cana dian shore. The Advertiser adds, “From information which has come to our knowledge, we are inclined to think that the plans of the insurgents are deeply l aid—that they have largo resources to draw upon, and that there arc many disaffected persons in Canada who arc aiding them. We hope and trust that the officers, civil and military, of our government will carry out the instructions of President Van Buren touching our neutral rela tions, and use every proper effort to prevent the recurrence of tumult and disorder, which so un happily disturbed this frontier last winter. Public opinion now demands of every officer the prompt and energetic discharge of his duty. We shall see whether those to whom is entrusted the exe cution of tile laws, have the moral courage and firmness to act in good faith at this crisis, or whether they will clandestinely aid and abet a party, whoso movements are calculated to de stroy our neutral relations, and impair our honor and high standing as a nation.” Head Quaiiteus, 7th Military Dep’t > Detroit, Nov. sth, l«3c>. 3 Order No. 5.

Extracts from the correspondence of the New York Herald, dated London-, Nov. 1. “We arc all in a political quandary here, and the plot thickens so fast Upon ns that the calmest be gin to look aboutVheni with some apprehension. 'T he fact is, wUhave just received from our East India possesions, the most unequivocal indica tions of a covert plan for a combined attack upon ns by the native princes. The existence of an ill feeling has long been suspected, hut the imper fect, and ill-understood accounts which have been permitted to reach this country, have kept us in the d irk as to the real state of the case. We now learn the open refusal of some of the nabobs to pay tribute: the Intrigues of others with Persia, to secure her support; secret despatches and cn- 1 voys intercepted and captured, an imposing Nc- ' paid force taking possession of the mountain passes, and the increase of our native standing army by about 25 percent, of its present number. It is true, wc have some set off’ on the other hand against these very gbomy appearances in the cast. The schab of Persia has consented to do all that wo required of him. and has sent to in vite our Ambassador back to his court. •• flip subject of steam connnuniaition engrosses more and more of public attention. The Great Western Company are about to build two vessels equal in sue to the G. W., and the company at Liverpool, intend doing the sonic. The Philadel phians must lose no time, or there will be no room lor them. Further attempts are also making to establish an efficient and regular steam communi cation with India, either by the Red Sea . or round the Cape of Good. Hope. The difficulties are not light, and the East India Company, do not appear disposed to give any effectual assistance, , although i! is said they would not (could not !) \athhold their support if the thing were once es taWlished ; others affirm that their unwillingness < arises trout other causes, and that they are not o\>/ anxious that the public should be too much, or too often enlightened on the affairs of the East. “ Our money markets are pretty firm, although they have been a little affected by the news above alluded 10, but not to the extent expected. The market for American Stocks is heavy, and there is no avidity to do business ; the advices from your side by the Great Western, which arc to the Ith inst., are considered lo be of afa rumble and pro mising nature.'’ From the New York Kxprcss. 1 he defalcation of Mr. Swartwout still excites a goad deal of interest, in the city, and the fact of the defalcation, hitherto doubted by some, is now generally admitted. Mr. Swartwout’s defalcations begun, it presumed, the first year of his appoint ment, and continued through the whole of Gen eral Jacks,m a administration, and through some portion of Mr. Van Daren’s. The Star of last evening states, that the late Collector was always a buyer, and never a seller, of the various kinds ot stocks in which he was a notorious speculator. His accounts with the Treasury Department, at Washington, were never settled, and hence the immense amount of money lost, and the late hour in which the fact of the defalcation has been made known to the public. The Treasury De partment can have no excuse for this, and none ■'vill_.Dc received. In alluding lo this fact, the Star says boldly— “We charge upon the Treasury Department, that Mr. owartwout’s account of Ootids received, paid, and in suit, has never been examined, item by item, since 1 Slit !” and adds, that it is a fact within onr knowledge that Mr. Swnrtwonl’s Dond to (lie Government for the faithful discharge ol his duties lay whole months hero without be ing executed, and we believe was burnt with oth er papers when the Treasury was destroyed by lire. The neglect of tbo Treasury Department to examine and pass upon his quarterly accounts sines 1820, according to law—the careless indif ference in relation to his personal bond lo the Government, allowing it to remain a long time here unexecuted, release his sureties from all re sponsibility.—When the Committee of Congress appointed to examine into the -o affairs shall ar rive here, all these facts tending to show the cul pable neglect of the Treasury Depart ment will be. fully developed, Tuvin; ix Pkxx»ti,vani.». —We have con densed from various sources of information, the amountof’busmess done the last season in certain articles which form a part of the trade of this great State, from which it appears that there was ship ped from the Schuylkill Goal Region, 086,7211 tons of coal up to the 17th hist. During the sea son the Canal trade in part, has been as follows: In one year from October 31st, 1837, to October 31st, 1838, the Hour shipped upon the Pennsylva nia final was 181,735 bids; the wheat shipped was 40 957 bushels, —3500 were the number of bouts cleared from Pittsburgh during the year— their total tonnage amounting to 48,210,243. — The passengers have travelled 3,050,170 miles, and the total of the tolls received in the year for passengers and freight amounts to §45,030 87. This only embraces the trade Eastward. The reverse trade has been larger, if wo may judge from the fact Hint the total tonnage of goods shipped from the Eastward amounts to 64,883,401. Those facts arc very important, as showing the amount of Pennsylvania trade, and the profits of this Canal to the State'of Pennsyl vania.— .V. Y. Krpress. Nashville, Nov. Si,—Major General Win field Scott, U. S. Army, and Aids, majors Ander son and Shaw, arrived in this city last evening from the Cherokee country, and took lodgings at the City Hotel. The General’s visit, we under stand, will he short, as it is understood that recent orders from the War Department demand his im mediate presence on the Northern frontier. He will take the first boat for Louisville, and probably leave town this evening or to-morrow. New-Yoric Election-.—Votes for Gov ernor.—We learn from the Albany Argus, that official returns from all the Counties in the Stale except Alleghany, give Seward, for Governor, 189,583 voles; Marey 179,785. Majority for Seward 9,798. Add 600 in Alleghany, and the majority for S. in the State 10,398. The whole vote of Alleghany will he about 5,600, making the number of votes polled in the State at this election, on the Governor’s ticket, about 375,000. This is by far the greatest vote ever polled in the State. The number polled a year ago on the Senate ticket, as officially declared, was 295,318. Deduct this number from 376,000, the number polled this year, and we have a gain of 80,000 votes. In November, 1830, the aggregate number of votes for all the Gubernatorial candidate, Marey, Seward, and Smith, was 300,260; being less than the number polled this year, by 09,000. — N. Y.

The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff of $ 1,505.

Youxo Mki hamcs.—There is no class of the community upon w hom the future welfare of the country more essentially depends than upon the rising generation of young mechanics. If they are intelligent, sober, industrious, and consequent ly independent, able and accustomed to judge for themselves, and governed, in their conduct, by an enlightened view of their own host interests, if they are men of this sort, the mechanics, and es pecially the young mechanics, will form the strong est bulwaik of our free institutions, and the best hope of the republic. If, on the other hand, they are ignorant, idle, dissolute, and consequently poor, and dependent upon those who arc willing to trust them—if our mechanics should unhappily become such, a class (of which I thank God, there is hut little danger,) they would soon he converted into tho mere tools of a few rich and artful men, who having first stripped them of every sense of self-respect, and every feeling proper to virtuous objects, and for the enactment of laws which are beneficial to no- ! body but the artful few with whom they originate. I It is as true of the mechanical art:: as of any other profession, that ‘knowledge is power,’ and we earnestly recommend to the attention of our friends among the young mechanics, thefollowing exc. limit ‘hints,’ copied from the Buffi.lo Journal: Hints la Young Mechanic —The first object of a mechanic, as it should ho that of every one, in to become thoroughly acquainted with Iris par ticular business or railing.—We arc too apt to learn our trade or profession by halves—to prac- | ti.v.- it by halves—and lienee being compelled to live by halves—die by inches. .Study and labor to excel your competitors and ; then you will not fail to command the patronage of the most discerning and lib oral paymasters.— There is a great variety of higely useful know!- ' dge which appertain ,to c cry bnndi of business that may* be acqnirt d by n course of judicious i<■nl i ivl*'.
