brary Afcoriation, encouraged by thelila-ral-Uy bestowed on Prof.Mitchell a ImIw. 5ave made an arrangement with Prof. K. L. Toomans of New York, to deliver two lec- : tures ou Wednesday and Thursday nights of Best week. Aa a scientific man, I'rolV.Mor i Yoom&ns bad a national reputation. He baa published several standard woi ka on (.'hem- ' iatry, and is an enthusiastic student of that cienee. But to his minute aud extrusive knowledge of this subject, he unites tbe happy faculty of a popular, gruiel'ul, and interesting oratory. H'lierever- he has lectured In the large cities of our country, Kast or West, he has never failed to bring out large bouses, which are highly entertained. He is now fulfilling engagements in several of our Western cities, and is spoken of in the highest terms. He delivered two lectures in the Indianapolis lecture course lat winter, which were pronounced by the Journal and Sentinel aa very superior. The citizens were so highly pleaded with them that be has been invited to deliver a second series there next week. He' has one or moro lectures on the "Chemitlry of the Sunbeam," treating,. in a very attractive manner, of the laws 1 beauties of l:ght; and another ou "tht Laboratory of JVTature"whul.i.-ror)- highly menaed." The Lecture Committee are making very appropriate selections of lecturers in choosing men who will uot only entertain but instruct, which is the legitimate province of the lecture ;. and we are confident our citizens will exhibit their intelligence by crowded honsos. , Eg, The residue of those elegant overcoats and stylish busiuess coats, can now be "bought at Lyoxs, at ten per cent, less than bis regular prices, as be wishes to close out bis stock of over-coat? and heavy busiuesa coats. Ltoss' stock is stilj large, and comprises desirable and beautiful 9tyle of garments, cut, made, and trimmed in the best manner ; and every article sold by him is warranted to give perfect satisfaction.--Persons desiring custom-made garments at less than the U9ual rates, have now an opportunity of preparing them.

Tbe German is a member of tbe Catholic Churchy and left the bonse of bis employer about 4 o'clock in tbe morning, to attend church in Armstrong township of this county. He was riding a likely horse, but which was blind. When in tbe vicinity of Big Creek Bridge, be was met by a couple of men, who caught hold of each side of bis horse's bridle, causing tbe animal to stop, one of them demanding tbe German's money. He told them be had none. Tbey threatened to take bis life if be did not give tbem all tbe mouey he bad. Tbe poor fellow was without a solitary cent, and, consequently, was unable to comply with their demand. He was then dragged from his boise, and choked with what be thought was a pocket handkerchief, and knocked senseless by a violent blow on tbe bead. The murderers turned bi pot:kets inside out, but found nothing. Thinking the man i to be really dead, they dragged bis body evi . , , , , , ' .

As the Bracelet was coming put of Green river she was met by the steamer Union, which ran into the former boat, crushing the guards and causing other damages. The Kate Sarchet came out of the Wabash with a very fair trip—some 2017 packages of pork, wheat, lard, flour and sundries, most of it for re-shipment The Sarchet will probably leave to-morrow. The river continues to swell slowly at Cincinnati, and there was indications of more rain on Tuesday evening. The Scioto came down at 4 o'clock, and left again after dark. The Baltic passed down with only a moderate trip. The Silver Star will be here this morning ready for passengers and freight to Paducah. Remember she leaves precisely at four o'clock. The Martha Jewctt, laying at the upper end of the wharf, at Cairo, caught fire on Monday morning and was totally consumed. Loss $5,000. The steamer Empress left New Orleans on the 3d. The Landis passed Memphis on the 3d, and will probably pass here to-day or tonight. . The steamer Madison, bound from New Orleans to Cincinnati, ladened chiefly with sugar and molasses, was run into near Aurora , Ind., this morning, by the steamer Iowa, and sunk immediately to the hurricane deck. The cargo was insured. ———<>——— ——>The St. Paul <Times> says that the huge stone piers of the bridge over the Mississippi at that plaee are nearly completed, and the entire structure will be finished by May.

The galleries and floor were I crowded by a dense throng, notwitbstandti. .no.. gtorm. it havinor been under stood that the Vice President, Crittenden, and others would speak. The proceedings, as usual, were opened with prayer and the reading of the journal. Mr. Stewart, ot Michigan, moved that as many ladies are -unprovided with seats in the galkiies, they be admitted to the floor. Hamlin, of Maine, objected on the ground that the admission of ladies would embarrass the legitimate business, and consequently the ladies were not admitted. Davis, of Mississippi, submitted the report of the Committee, stating tbat the new Chamber was ready for the Senate. Crittendeu, of Kentucky, moved tbe adoption of the report. The parting from this Chamber, he thought, was an act of much solemnity. Many associations, ana many. of them proud and pleasant, bind us to this chamber. It has been the scene of great events questions of the American constitution questions of great national import questions of peace and war have been debated in this, chamber. Great men have been the actors withhnthese walls. He had seen men whose names and fame have not been surpassed in- the annals of Greek or Roman history. Here he had seen Clay and Webster, Calhoun, Lee and Wright, and others. They seem to have left on these walls the impress of their fame. This majestic dome yet seems to echo to their voices. There are others, whom we would not designate, iormey nau not 1! . 1 f - il A i. tlier pi hi nCTI Qamier of being forgotten. When the Senators remove to the new chamber they will carry with them the inspiratiorrof their illustrious predecessors. They will leave behind them no iota of patriotism or attachment to the constitution. These are our household god3 ; they are carried with us ; the new ball will be the scene of the past; there they will ever remain. The Senateof the United States, the great preservative body of this great nation, conserving thejsovercignty of the States and the integrity of the Union. ' - The Vice-President continued at length addressing the Senate, giving a historical sketch of Congress at the various seats of government, uutil its location at Washington. He then narrated the burning of th6 Capitol by the British army ; the assembling thereafter of Congress in Blodgett's Hotel, on the site now occupied by the General Post Office, and, finally, the assembling in 1810, in the present building. He went into an interesting comparison of the character of tho Staate in the early days of the government and now. Then it was almost wholly an executive body, and much of its business was transacted with closed doors. The-President often took part in the debates, and it was not for many vears that be gallaries were provided for spectators. After further remarks which were listened to with wrapt attention, the Senate proceeded to the new hall. Hoüss. There being no quorum present at tbe hour of meeting, a call of the House was ordered and a quorum was attained. On motion of Bernheisel, of Utah, the Committee on Territories was instructed to inquire into the expediency of providing for the completion of the Territorial capital of Utah. John Cochran, of New York, prssented a petition from the Canal Board, asking an appropriation for the improvement of Lake harbors, in connection with the canals of the State of Ne w York.. " Washington, Jan 4 p. m. Hoüss. David Mass introduced a bill providing that invalid seamen may receive an annual stfpend from the government, and reside with their friends vheu they should so elect, instead of living at the Asylums. Mr. Curtis, of Iowa, asked, but tailed to obtafn, the consent of tbo House for leave to introduce a joint resolution, providing for a commission of members of Cpngress and Army officers to revise the Militia and Army Laws. Various reports from the Stauding Cotnraittees were received, including tbe follow ing: M.r. t;omins, ot .uass., a d:ii maKing appropriation for the 'improvement of the harbor of Bostou. By Mr. Washburn, of 111., Senate bills making appropriations for the improvement of the mouth of the Milwaukie River and Chicago Harbor. By Mr. Faulkner, of Va., the Senate bill providing for the i payment of the claims of the State of Maine j for expenses incurred in organizing a regiment for the Mexican War. On motion of ; Mr. Phelps, of Mo., the house went into Committee of the Whole on tbe state of the Union, and took up the Indiana appropriation bill. After reaching the new Hall, and while tbe Jgreat mass of spectators were settling themselves in their places, seve.-nl memorials were presented,-but owing to the noise the precise objects of the memorials were not j ascertained. Thev were apparently of a (.private nature. - Mr. Mallory, from tha Naval Commission ers, reported a bill to build additional steamers of war, which was laid over, Mr. Mallory saying that he would make an effort to obtain an early vote on it. He also intro duced a bill to raise the pay of officers of j the navy. '; Tbe rest of the session was devoted to the j discussion of Mr. Jackson's, (of Tennessee,) : motion,' instructing the Finance Committee j to investigate the expenditures of the publie money, and" report the means to bring ! the expenses of Government within the limit of rigid economy. i , Messrs. Johnson of Tcnn., Hunter, of Va., Seward of N. Y., Fessenden, of Mo., Biglcr, of Pa., Tombs 'of Ga., Shields of Miun., . Davis of Miss., Collarner of Vt., Mason of j Va., Stewart of Mich., Clingman of N. C, j Green of Mo., Reed of N. C., and others j took part in the debate tbat-ensued. All . agreed in the necessity for retrenchment, j The only point debated being whether to re- ! fer the matter to the Finance Committee or ! a special Committee of seven. I Without action tbe Senate went into ex- j ecutive Session. On re-opening the doors, Mr. Hunter, of Va., introduced the first appropriation bills of the Session, namely, the Indian.

The report received from Halifax of the appointment of Lord Abercronbie, was tbe mistake of the person who prepared the dispatch of the news by the Fuiton.

-- v- - Albany, M. Y Jan.. 4 p,m , Gv. organ's first , message was transmitted to both houses to-day. - The following is an abstract of its principal features: The funded debt of the State is $30,913,258 77. of which 24,307,704 40 is the

- canaldebt... Toe entire receipts lrom tue anal3 fr he year ha3 been $2,072,204 88, from which, after deducting the payment for Superintendence aud other charges, there is a balance of surplus revenue amounting to 8993,425 97. As, however, the interest and constitutional requirements for the Sinking i und far exceeds the amount of surplus revenue, there is an actual deficiency of $706,574 04 if the interest upon the general fund' debt is added to that accruing , on the canal fund. Drafts have also been issued by the canal Commissioners amounting, on tbe 30th of September, . 1858, to $1,330,033 30 beyond tbe ability of the State Treasury, and by this time these drafts have probably augmented to $1,700,000 or $2,000,000. To meet the claims upon the treasury, actual and estimated, which relate to the cat als alone, 5,655,000 will bo required, equivalent to a State tax. of svearly two mills on tbe dollar . of the valuations of 1857. Tbe above sum does not include the damages for land taken for the canal enlargement, for which $1,000,000 additional will be required, besides $500,000 to pay the 15 per cent, reserved out of the estimates for work done under contract. These figures are correct. Obligations amounting to over $4,000,000 have been incurred, without including the necessary outlay for completing what has been commenced, regardless of the constitutional provision specifying that no debt shall be contracted unless authorized by a law, which shall impose an annual tax to pay the interest on such debt, and providing for the payment of tbe principal within eighteen months from the date of its being contracted. He regrets (Via nnnnSPITW 4rt Ii i O Vi 1 K? 1 1 nr Ci 4kWesaaaa and deliberate IUC Htl caotl T XVI. Iliij t- .Ii i action of tbe Legislature to provide for its extinguishment. The importance of the early completion of the canal enlargement is urged, which can be completed by the Spring of I860, if tbe small amount,-' when' compared with that already expended, is provided for. Gov. Morgan expresses the opinion that until the canals are completed, and the present floating debt is paid, the appropriations .should he confined to the most economical necessities of government. He 'also says that a resort to direct taxation has become necessary to meet the payment of interest on the public funds and expenses of government. Tbe message concludeslwith a reference to the conservative attitude New York has ever maintatned to her sister States which cherish systems different from her own ; disclaiming all right or wish to interfere with tbe domestic concerns of any community outside of ber own limits, r She insists on the right to maintain the superiority of liberty over slavery, and views jas. a wrong the attempt to inflict, slavery upon territories hitherto free; to controvert tho settled policy of our revolutionary statesmen, and remit the question of slavery or .no slavery in a territory to the unchecked volition of the first 100 or 1000 persons who flight fall upon its soil, is to concede the assumption that no national, no moral considerations are included in the issue of free or slave labor. . This is not genuine popular sovereignty but the sovereignty of chance, of accident, and fleetness in reaching, and dexterity in appropriating, tha territory in question. x It is the sovereignty of a few over the destiny of millions. New York has not, and never can, assent to 'a theory which divests her of all control over the common heritage of her sons with those of her sister States, and which virtually declares that she cares not whether her children who emigrate, westward shall live where manual labor is respected or where it is regarded as tbe fit employment only of the enslaved and degraded. Every American must in his heart desire either that slavery should not be extended into the federal territories, and each has a right to proclaim aud act upon bis choice If the deliberate sentiment of the people, constitutionally expressed, shall form slavery' extention, NewYork will submit, as she always ha3 to, decisions fairly made, which contravene her convictions or her interests, however disappointed by any lawful action of the authorities of the United States ; she lusver has followed or sought redress in acts of nullification, and she wages no .war upon the institution nor the interests of ber sister States.

The Merchants Despatch continues bringing Goods from New York and Boston, at as low rates aa any Despatch or Rail Road Express, and in as good or better time, havieg unequaled facilities for safe aud speedy transportation. No Despatch or Fast Freight Line has any oco nection with us. Arrangements were made by us early last Spring, by which we are enabled to forward not only tha lighter portion of shippers' freight, but we can carry both light and heavy with the same promptness which has always characterized the ' Merchants' Despatch." Bringing our freights in our own cars, with passenger trains, and having our own agents at points of transhipment, we have adrantuges iu point of speed and safety, which render it impossible for other companies to compete w ith us. This Despatch is owned and managed by the American Express Company, which is a sufficient guarantee that all just claims will be settled without delay, as has been the case fortbe past three years, and to the satisfaction of those by whom they may be presented.
