Our Whig friends in Pensylvania, are likely to have some (rouble with their allies the Nativo Americana, This wing of their party have been kept in the traces by a liberal division of the spoils lo the most prominent leaders', and the rank and file have been marched tip regularly at each returning election to the support of principles which their organization ppurned and repudiated, The trick hn9 at last been discovered; and at their late convention was thoroughly laid bare and exposed, giving rise to an explosion which must be productive of two generations. The Convention met at Hairisburgh, yesterday, 8nd the corfiicting 'elements were evolved inihe verv ottcmDt at oieanizntion. According to the telegraphic account a motion was made that John Brelsford.of Philadelphia, be temporary chairman At the 6ame instant another motion was made that Mr. Morgan, of Pittsburgh, should take the Chair. Both gentlemen ascended the stand, when a scene of confusion and disorder commenced that beggars description.

The matter was finally compromised by the appointment of a nominating committee, who designated Mr. James T. Terrier of Philadelchia. ns Chairman: but when he mounted the stand, another scene of confusion followed, and only subsided "by the withdraw: 1 a large part of the Convention who met at the Shakspeare saloon and formed a separate organi zation. After the withdrawal, those that remain ceeded with their business, but not without is turbance; and we aro told that the sherif as finally called in to restore crder.

Mr. Bre jter, from the Committee, on Resolutions, reported a sel of resolves which declare strongly for the Union and compromise measures, and set forth that it is inexpedient to make any State nominations they were adopted unanimously. Mr. Whitman, of Dauphin, offered a resolution repudiating the American Standard as an exponent of the principles of the Native American party, which was adopted unanimously. Mr.

Ashmead moved the appointment of a Committee to prepare an address to the people adopted. The ceceders, after their organization, had a quiet session, and proceeded to do up their work in a straight forward, business way. They nominated Kimber Cleaver, of Schuylkill for Governor; and a Mr. Mcl'ouald, of Armstrong, for Commissioner. The Committee appointed, re ported aBeries of resolutions, recommending ar rett Davis, of Kentucky, for President; and Dr Reynell Coates, of New Jersey, for Vice Uresis dent.

No nominations were made for Judges o' the Supreme Court. The canvass in Pennsylvania is to be one of great activity, and meetings of the people are aU ready frequent and attended with much enthusi asm. Governor Johnston has" taken the field in person," and boldly repudiates the fugitive slave law and the compromise, as a whole. He is a strong, effective speaker, and a Bhrewd, calculating manager. Col.

Bigier, the Democratic nominee, is a very popular man. He has not shown his hand as yet, so openly as his antagonist. The breach in the Native party will have an important effect on the result, as it must draw off considerable strength from the Whigs, wilh whom they have long co operated. The election is early in Octu ber. Pboqressing.

The age is unfolding itself with peculiar strength and power. Dr. Junius Smith has drank his first cup of tea steeped from the American plant; Mr. Hill has promulgated a wonderful discovery by daguerreotypes can be.taken in colors; the Tehuan tepee railroad has been commenced, and it is said will be prosecuted in defiince of Mexican opposition; the corner stone of a new capitol has been laid in Washington; the beginning of the great Pacific railroad has been commenced; the waters of the Red river in Texas are soon to be uuited with the Trinity; the world baB been having a jolly time of it at the great fair in London; Kossuth is about to take up bis abode in America; and the Eagle has introduced steam into the printing business in Brooklyn. A Hint to Church Sleepers.

The editor of the South Boston Gazette is responsible for the truth of the following: "At church, last Sabbath we were not a little surprised to see a man who bad been snoring beyond ull calculation for the last fifteen minutes, suddenly raise his arm above his head and bring his clenched hand to his knee with great force some half a dozen times. While he snored merely, we supposed him to be very tired when he pounded, we took him for some wretch trying to break the Sabbath. In both these conjectures, however, we wronged the indi vidual in question for, on inquiry, we ascertain, ed him to bo a blacksmith, who was innocently practising his favorite occupation." The South A letter from Washington, in speaking of the southern elections, says Recent intelligence from private and reliable sources in me oouui, snow umi mr. uood ana Mr. Foote will both succeed in their elections.

But I am also advised that Mr. Cobb, in Georgia, and Mr. Foote, in Mississippi Jose many votes for the reason that their friends, the Uuion party, choose to remain uncommitted on the subject of the ab tract right of a State to secede from the Union. oo general is the disposition in many of the South em States to assert the right of secession, that the question will be brought, by the Souihern delega tions, before the National Democratic Convention, and there declared, aB a part o( the Southern Dem cratic creed. First in the Field.

The democratic committee of Ulster county have called a convention to jnoet at Kingston on the 21st day of August, to select delegates to attend the State Convention at Syracuse on the 10th of September, and also to the Senatorial and Judicial Conventions. Advertising. Genin, tho great hatler says "The benefits I have derived from the Press as an advertising medium, it is beyond my power to estimate, and I am well satisfied, from careful obser vat ion and experience, that advertising is a mainspring of success in every branch of Fortune Telxing. A young gentleman named William Willis residing at No. 10f Orange st.

Brooklyn, feeling desirous of having the curtain that hangs down in front of futurity drawn a little to one side, went on the 10th inst to New Tork and ca lied upon one Madame Adolph, fortune telkr residing at No. 50 Bowery, to seek her aid in giving him the opportunity of seeing his future Belf as he desired. The old lady produced a pack of cards and, after fumbling them over for some time and running herfingers through his lockB to explore the phrenological regions of his cranium, told him all the past events of his life, and pointed out certain coming events that were "easting their shadows before, for which be paid fifty cents." Whether it was that the future as depicted by the old Dame, did not seem so flattering as Mr. Willis desired, or that the prophetess mis. took the past events of his life is not known to us but from one or both of these causes Mr.

Willis with wonderful penetration thought that she was a humbug, and proferred a complaint against her before Justice Lothrop who issued a warrant fo the arrest of the sybil, and she, accompanied by counsel; appeared before the court and entered into bail in the sum of 300 to answer the charge. We do not see why Willis should complain of losing his fifty cents; any one who is so silly as to be deceivod by such a transparent humbug as the mummery of a fortune teller deserves to be swin died. Faknv Weight. This lady, who made such a sensation in New York some twenty years ago, has scarcely been heard of for the last ten years. She appears now in a heavy lawsuit at Cincinnati which is thus described: 'It appeared from the reading of the petition, a document of extraordinary bulk, that ibe petitioner was born in Scutland, and became possess, ed by inheritance of considerable property; that in 1830 she visited this country, invested a portion of her funds in the purchase of estates at Cincin nati and in the South, and in 1881 visiting France, she there married W.

IS. Arasmonf, by whom she had one daughter. The petitioner had between that period and 1845 paid several visits to the United States, where she had desired per maneutly to reside, and had also visited Scot land, where a valuable properly had lallen to ner as heir at law. She had about this lime changed funds vested in her own name, to that of her husband, trusting in his honor; and the bill charged that a portion of this property had been sold by W. P.

and ibat this respondent had deprived her by chicanery, not only of her property, but of the love and companionship of her daughter, now grown to womanhood. The case will occupy at least a week. Judge Walker and Mr. Gholscn appear for the petitioner, and W.R. Morris and Judge Tilden for respondents." Gen.

Arnold. An original letterof Gen. Wayne dated Oc.ober 1,1780, immediately after Arnold's treason, thus speaks of the character of the traitor prior to that event. I cant say that I was much shocked on the oc casion. I had long known the man; as early as 1776 he produced a conviction to inethathonor and truth were strangers to his bouI and however contradictory it may appear, be did not pos seses cither fortitute or personal courage.

He was naturally a coward, and never went into danger but when stimulated by liquor, even to intoxication: consequently not capable of conduct ing any command committed io his charge, Boat Race. Quite an exciting race took place yesterday, off the Battery, New York, between two rival boatmen. There were probably 4,00 persons present to witness it, and a large sum or money changed hands on the result being knawn. The Spectators crowded the roof and balcony of Castle Garden and a portion of the Battery grounds, while three or four steamers and jeveral hundred row boats, yachts, Stc, floated on the waters adjacent. The boats were rowed around Bed low's Island, in a surprisingly short space of time.

Daguerreotvpeb of the Moon. Mr. Bond of Boston, son of the astronomer of Cambridge, at a recent sitting of the Academy of Science, at the Grand Instituto of France, in Paris, presented the Daguerreotypes of the moon, taken by Mr. Whipple fiom the Cambridge Observatory, to the audience. These remarkable specimens of art were highly admired by the gentlemen of the Academy and the Dagucrreotypist was lauded for theperfect ness of the view.

The Field Book of the Revolution. We understand that this work, which is written and illustrated by Benson J. Lossing, Esq the celebrated wood engravei of New York, and published by the Harpers, has had a very largo sale, and that the demand is every day increasing. It is a well written and deeply iutcrcsting sketch.book of Rev. olutionary scenes, elegantly illustrated by wood engravings, embracing the chief relicts of the Revolutionary battle fields.

It is a book which should be in every family. The Opeua Triumph. If any further proof had been wanting ol the ability of this City tnsupporta first class Opera company, that proof was furnished last night. The perlormanco of La Sonambula was a complete triumph from beginning to end. The vast area of CaBtle Garden was crowded with an audience whieh must have numbered between five and six thousand persons, nearly every seat in the parquelle and balcony being occupied, while numbers of persons remained standing, or for the sake of coolness, took the outside balcony, over the water.

Tribune. Enlightened Criticism. An editor in Western New York has heard Madame Anna Bishop sing( aud in remarking upou her vocal organs exclaims: "What a curious web is wovon by the double threaded shuttle, which carries down pork and potatoes, and bring up 'Casta Diva' and 'Comin' thro' the The reported suspension of the Camden Bank, of Otsego county, is not likely to amount tn a failure. There has been a combined run on th bank, by which the specie was all withdrawn, but the assets are abundant as appears by an official statement, and the bills are taken in the neighborhood as usual. Galveston dates, to the llih state that Judge Roberts and Colonel Wright had withdrawn from the congressional canvass in the Eastern distr'ct of Texas.

Advertiser of yesterday. The frequent occurrence of accideut by an indiscreet use of burningfluid and for serious consideration on the part of the public. It is, indeed, surprising, that agents so mischievous, should be used so carelessly, and that people will consent to use them at all. Scarcely can we open paper without finding fearful evidence of the extreme and constant danger to life and property from the U6e of these illuminating fluids. A friend of curs whoso attention Was called to this subject some time siuce, has amused himself with keeping a little diary of the accidents consequent on the use of these articles, and lira given us access to his minutes for the past year.

The Board of Supervisors met yesteiday af ternoon in the Council Chamber in the City Hall. Present Dr. Berry, Chairman and Messrs Stilwell, Booth, Kent, Ryder, Williams, Spinola, Bergen Much more Brooks, Ryder (of Gravcsend) Voorhees, Sparkraan, Morris, DeBevoise. Tho minutes of last meeting were read and ap proved. A number of bills were presented and referred.

The Com. on Accounts reported the following bills for payment Muchmore 10 87 1 2 James Conner fur police services 5 25, Berrier 80, Grifiilbs 14 3, Geo Bail S25 for repairs of dead house, A Hegeman salary 5300, James Jigan tor cleaning Uourr. room 8, Whitehouse for shoes die. to Penitentiary 83 56, II Young S122 81, II Duryea 437 50.

The Committee on Accounts to whom the bill of Henry D. YouuE'. for articles furnished to the Penitentiary, was referred for Ihe purpose of reporting on the law bearing on the same, reported the law applicable to the case. "An act to prohibit members of Common Councils of cities, Trustees of villages, and Supervisors of to be interested in certain contracts: passed March 20, 1843. 2.

No Town, County, City, or State officer shall be interested in any contract made by such officer, or be a purchaser, or interested in any purchase at any sale made by such officer, or a seller at any purchase made by such officer in tho discharge of his official duty."

The prices charged appearing to be reasonable, and supposing that no further violations will occur, the Com. recommend ihe payment of the bill, leaving it to parties interested, who may fee! themselves aggrieved to take such steps as they may deem necessary to stop its payment.

The Board then adjourned to hold the annual meeting on the first Tuesday in August, in tho county court room of the county jail. The Tkhimntepec Railroad. The hostile at titude assumed by Ihe Tchuanlcpec Railroad Co. towards the Mexican Government, seems to be occupying its share of public attention at this time.

The Mexican Government has decreed the forcible expulsion of the company fr.im the Isthmus: and the Mexican consul at New Orleans has refused to clear the steamboat chartered by the Company; but the Company appear to treat these little objects with the most consummate contempt and proceed in the prosecution of their enterprise no if i.prona.l A pnrphnnsions are expressed that this affair will lead to new difficulties between the two republics; that in the pre ssnt decay inir state of Mexico, stimulated by the spirit of annexation in the United States, it will promote anew the lust ot conquest and invasion From a stntenient of facts, which we find in the New York Courier and Enquirer, we learn that the Tchuantepec Company derive all the rights they have a claim to, in ihis wise: The Mexican Government granted one Garray, a Spaniard, the exclusive and yet transferable privilege of con Btructing a carml or railroad from Coatzacoalcos, on the Gull, to Tehuantepec, on the facihc coast certain conditions. Garray failed to meet thoso conditions, and his grant, in consequence, was expressly annulled by the Mexican Congress. The Spaniard, however, disposed of his grant to a company of Souihern capitalists; and throuh their agency, a proposition, in the shape of a treaty, was made to the Mexican Government re newing the charier, aud pledging, on certain terms tho faith of Mexico and of the United States, to maintain it inviolate against each oilier and the world. The treaty was accepted by theTresidents of both Republics; but the Senate of ihe United States and the Congress of Mexico have neither of them yet ratified it. President Arisla, after assenting to the treaty himself, authorised Mujnr Barnard and his assistants ti make a survey of the projectedTahuant' epeo route, and instructed the governments of Vera Cruz and Oajaca lo leud every facility to thisobject.

It however, soon became so doubtful whether ihe Mexican Comrrejs would confirm the treaty, that the Mexican President felt called upon to retract the license he had granted, and wail the election of that body. The expedition however proceeded. They landed at the Coalzacoalos, though prohibited by the Mexican authorities, and notwithstanding it is not a port of entry. They deliberately set at work upon their survey, "nd persisted in spite of several energelic measures taken to prevent them. Finally they received peremptory orders to suspend their operations, and soldiers were despatched to enforce the prohibition The surveying party thereupon returned home, and their employers now advertise for fhe hundred laborers to go on andcommence the road.

Great indignation has been excited in New Orleans against Mexico, by the parlies interested, in consequence of the delay of the Mexican Government to sanction the courso of their President. Boston Transcript. The Dresses. A letter from London thus speaks of the dresses worn at the mrth of July fete given by Mr. Peabody.

The ladies appeared in court dresses, wilh a pro fusion of diamonds and jewelry. Miss Burdett Coutts shone resplendent in this article; Boine la dies carried immense fortunes on their necks and arms, and pendent from ihcir ears. The hair was decorated with choice artificial flowers, plaited generally in neat and taBletul plaits and lolds, Among the dresses of the ladies, which were all of the most splendid nnd magnificent descriptions with a profusion of costly lace, besides diamonds and jewelry tastefully disposed, was to bo noticed tho handsome Mrs. Pennimau, of Philadelphia; also Mrs. Joshua Bates, Miss Draper, Miss Dash of New York; and the beautiful Mrs.

Sturgis, lady of Mr. Sturgis, the American partner of the great house of Barings, of London; also the Misses Pennington, ol JMew Jersey. All these were dressed in the most magnificent and costly style, with many others whose names, so great was the crowd could not ascertain. Eight hundred guests were prusent; invitations issued amounted to of those present, about OUU were Americans. Ii wus remarked by all that the Duke of Wellington was extremely courteous and gracious to the Ame ricans presented to him, receiving them with marked cordiality, especially the American ladies.

with all ot whom he shook bands the most hearty manner.
