In the House of Representatives, on the ~~<l iiiot., the bill to authorize the Commissioners ol the Western and Atlantic Rail Road to sell state scrips to the amount of one million and a half of dollars, for the completion of the work, was pas sed, yeas 93, nays 42. The hill to charter the Washington Rail Road and Banking Company, was passed, but the bank' ing privileges were struck out. The Legislature, we understand, will adjourn this day or to-morrow, though there are some im portant hills still before them to be acted on. From Liverpool. By the ship Medora, at Charleston from Ant werp, the Editors of the Courier have received a London paper of the Bth lilt, from which (he following is copied. The paper was obtained by the ship while lying in the Downs. Liverpool, Nov. S. Cotton —We have had a steadier market to-day with a greater demand. The sales are 1000 bales, Surats, 1 ffl to 5Jd ; Maranhams G;}d to 8 jil; Egyp tians 1 til to 13id ; Uahias 8d ; Peniams B£d to 9<d; Americans -'hid to sd. Middle Branch Hail Road. At a meeting of the Directors ol the Middle Branch Rail Road Company, on the Uth inst. .1. Edgar Thomson, was appointed Chief Engi neer. The survey and location of the road, is now in progress, and a portion of the graduation of the road-bed has already been placed under contract, and was commenced on the 17th inst. Albert 8. White, at present a member of the House of Representatives from the Btate of Indi ana, has been elected Senator to the Senate of the United States from that State, very unexpectedly to himself and every one else. He is a Whig. Massachusetts Election. We learn by the IV. York slips, that the se cond trial for the election of a member of Con gress, in the 4th District of Massachusetts, now represented by Mr. Parnientor, (V. B.), has re sulted in the election of Mr. Brooks, the Whig candidate. The Baltimore Chronicle, says, “There is a rumor abroad, and which we find has been men tioned in several papers, that Gov. Cass, lias been recalled from France.” The New England Society celebrated their anniversary on Saturday last, at the Globe Hotel. An excellent 'supper was served up upon the occasion, and numerous toasts were drank, which mot with a hearty response from all pre sent. The evening passed oft’ with great harmo ny and good feeling: The following gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year: Samuel Hale, President. Asaph Waterman, Ist Vice President. Edward Thomas, 2d “ “ , Thomas J. Parmklee, Treasurer. \ Wm. T. Gould, Secretary. Committee on Charity. A. Sibley, Wm. P. Rathbune, W. P. Merriman, J. M. Adams, A. I. Huntington, and T. S. Met calf. From Canada. The N. York Courier, of the 18th states, that Montreal papers to the 15th have been received, by which it appears that difficulties have arisen in regard to the trial by Court Martial, of individuals implicated in the late insurrection, previous to the proclamation of martial law, it being contended that, to such cases the writ of Habeas Corpus was still applicable. The Montreal Judges have part ly decided against this doctrine, yet it is evident, we think, that the administrator of the Province, Sir John Colborne, finds’great difficulty in re conciling the instructions he received from Eng land, with the demands of the British part of the papulation, that, summary punishment be inflict ed ; which perhaps the nature of the case de mands. Reinforcements of troops arc hastening to Up per Canada, and indeed to the two provinces from the other British possessions on this conti nent. The banditti who landed at Windsor from Detroit, arc not only completely dispersed, but if some accounts can he believed, arc tried and exe cuted as fast as they are caught. Sir George Arthur, too, issues without hesitation his warrant for the execution of those taken near Prescott. Still Later.—By the slips of the 31st, we learn that live of the patriot prisoners who were to have been hung on the 19th, have been tem porarily respited. Only three (Shultz, George and Abbey) had yet been executed. The sergeant and two piivates from whom Theller and Dodge (patriot prisoners at Quebec) escaped, have been convicted by a Court Martial sos conniving at the escape, and sentenced to be shot. Important Ironi Harrisburg. The Baltimore American slip of the 22d inst. contains the following important intelligence from Harrisburg. By yesterday’s Rail Road cars we received a letter from York, written yesterday morning, which furnishes the following important informa tion from Harrisburg: ■ iiinwwwaMnniMigaßiwßjaHßaßKMHVMMamrainMi York, Dec 21, 18 :8. I “By the stage from Harrisburg this morning, we learn that the Senate have passed a resolution decla ring the “Hopkins’ or Van Burcn House of . Representatives illegally organized, without how ever recognizing the “Cunningham,” or Whig House. “The Hopkins House subsequently passed a > resolution declaring themselves to be as legally I organized as the Senate, and appointing a Cum- ! mittceiu draft an Address to the People of Venn- • syleania, rci/ucsting them to call a Convention I to take the Government of the State into their own hands ! The existing condition of things ( had created great excitement at Harrisburg yes terday. “An express arrived in York, last night, at 10 o’clock, for two of our citizens who have 1 been very active in supporting the “Committee • of safety,” and the only one of them who was at home started oil’ at one o’clock A. M. to the scat 1 of Government.” i Later.— By last night’s mail wc received the ’ Harrisburg Reporter of yesterday, containing a 1 report of the proceedings in the Legislature on Thursday, referred to in the letter above. I Mr. Penrose resumed and concluded his re- t marks, in favor of the resolution declaring (hat the House organized under Mr. Hopkins as spea- ‘ ker, was illegally constituted. Mr. Fraley of Schulkyll followed, and was sue- i eroded in the debate by Mr. Fullerton, who con cluded by moving an amendment to the resolution that the name of “William Hopkins” he stricken out, and that of “Thomas S. Cunningham” inser ted in its place.—Mr. Fullerton’s ni ition was nc- 1 gatived, yeas 18, nays 20. The Resolution declaring the illegal organiza tion of the Hopkins or Van Burcn House was 1 then finally adopted by a vote of 20 to 13. In the Van Burcn House on the afternoon of the 30th, the following Resolution was o/lored hv Mr. Broadhead and unanimously adopted : Whereas, This House was duly organized on ' the 4thinstant, (December 4th, 1838,) and gave notice to the Senate of such organization, and has held its sessions every day since that period, in < this Hall, and has not received an official commit- 1 ideation that the Senate, a co-ordinate branch of the government, is organized and ready to co-ope- I rate witli it in the duties devolving on the Legis- 1 lature of Pennsylvania ; And whereas, the pub lic good requires that the Legislature should pro- I ceed in the discharge of its official duties, prompt- j ly and efficiently, according to the Constitution I and the laws ; And whereas, it appears, by the i journals of the proceedings of the Senate, that that body has passed upon the constitutional or- I ganization of the House of Representatives, and decided thereon :—And whereas, by this decision the Legislative departments of the Government have become inoperative,—Therefore, Resolved, That a committee he appointed to report for the consideration and adoption of this House, an Address to the freemen of the Com monwealth, calling upon them to take immediate measures for the restoration of the government. The committee was ordered to consist of Messrs. Brodhcad, Flenniken, Hill of Westmoreland, Fcild, Fogely, Pray, Woodburn, Hoggins and Butler.

The fire proved to have taken place in the building occupied by Hamilton, Houston & Co., and was fortunately extinguished without material injury. From all the circumstances, the fire is believed to have been the result of accident. —lh. From the Lynchburg Virginian, Dec. 20. Dreadful Fire.— A letter from E. M’Gavoek, Esq., Post-master Wythe Court House, to the editors of the Virginian, says:—“l stop the mail to inform you that one third of our town is in ashes. The lire broke out about 4 o’clock this morning. Wc are in great confusion. Many of the citizens are without houses, to which to take their families. The loss cannot he estimated. Comparatively it is greater than that which re sulted from the fires in New York and Charleston.” Present Condition of the Mormons.— A memorial lias been presented to the Legislature of Missouri, asking pecuniary aid for the Mormon women and children of Caldwell county in that State. Many houses belonging to the Mormons in Caldwell, have been burned, about sixty men imprisoned, forty killed, and one hundred have been compelled to fly from their homes, to escape the vengeance of the citizens, leaving about two hundred women, most of them with small chil dren. destitute and unprotected from the rigor of the winter. — Phil. Ledger. We learn from the Journal, that a fatal recon tre occurred at the Galt House, in Louisville, on the night of the 15th inst. between Judge Wilkin son, Dr. A. Wilkinson and Mr. Munio of Missis sippi, and Mr. Reading and three or four friends of that city. A general fight took place between the parties, the Mississippi gentlemen being armed with Bowie knives. Mr. Meek, a bar-keeper in the Wall-street House, was struck dead with a Bowie knife; Mr. John Rothwell had a knife passed through his lungs and died the next day ; Mr. Holmes, a steamboat Pilot, was badly cut.— Mr. Reading and his friends displayed no arms during the contest.
