Never was a legUiative body so valorous in promise and so weak in the last General Assembly of I'ennsylva-cia, although two thirls of each branch coincided in political professirn with the Kxeeutive. Elected by dissensions among the Opposition, the Democracy had full, ample power had complete control and mu-t bear all the responsibility.

In reviewing their labors, we must first cofice that they utterly failed to make the least reform in, or additional security for, the IiaLking System. The sale of the remainins Stat Worts to the Puntnry Erie Company, is an important measure, the benefit or evil of which is to be determined by the good or tad management cf the Company. The Militia and Liquor Rills were cot only uncalled for, but we believe will be hostile to the public interests. In creating new cEce.s, and raisiDg the salaries of the Governor and themselves, this overwhelmingly ''Democratic-' Legislature was (considering the hard times ') very liberal, patriotic, and benevolent with other people's money 1 The Senate pretty nearly "sustained President Buchanan, while the House as evidently sympathized with his opponent, Senator Douglas. The mortification of the party over their evident failure, is amusing and suggestive.

We quote a few of the anathemas from their leading Journals and others "Scarcely less far infamy than the preceding infamous Legislature of the members of this body must return to their homes with the consciousness that they have left UNDONE most of those things which they ought to have done, and done many of those things which they oughi not to haTe done." Hirritlurj Patriot i "Dem. cran 'Each member received 8700 for INFESTING our Capital nearly four months." S-lintynvt Journal. The Lfromiiri says; "That exceedingly nse-fu! body, the l'ecnsylvania Legislature, adjourned cn Thursday. Last year it sold the best public improvements of the State. and this year sold the balance.

If it will sell the Capitol next year, we do not know cf anything else belonging to the State to sell the Legislature toll itse'f many years ago." 'The list of acts passed numbers 500. Of these, only are general laws. The amsunt of special legislation about township election distriets.personal claims, county roads, and hundreds cf things which the Courts ought to be empowered tj settle, is amazing. Puila. llulhtin.

These may eutSce. The election? ia Reading, Lancaster, Pittsburg, Erie, Philadelphia, have made a good beginning towards a revolution ia the fall. There is no certainty in reformation by a change, yet the people often resolve to try it. The present good feeling among the opposition, may place the next Legislature unequivocally on the side cf Liberty and Economy. Emanciia aK'N in emancipation excitement is still kept up in Rusiia.

This country is setting an example which should not be lost on the world. The St. Petersburg publishes an imperial decree signed 1 tie Emperor Alexander, establishing, ia the districts of Kiew, Podotia and Ycl-Lynia, a preparatory committee for carrying out the emancipation of the serfs iu those provinces. One of the members cf the local nobility is appointed President. Rich committee is to consist of two mem-Lers each district, selected from the landed proprietors who have serfs, and of two experienced landed proprietors designated by the head of the local adminis-: tratiou.

The "autocrat" seems to Lave more respect for the "mud sills" of society than some of our ''Democratic" statesmen. The Cuances is the West. A let-! tct in the Salem (Mass.) fcjUit-r, from St. Louis, Missouri, says i "Those young men who give up a certainty in the East, with the hope of improving their condition ty removing West, had better stick to the fore-plane and plough handle ia New England; or, if 'ey do come West, must come prepared tottovethe one or Loll the other; for Cierks at.d speculators aro here already ia m-j-t cither itarre t-T 20 to: E.

I It is but a hundred years since an Erg- lishman, named Jonas Hanway, having returned from Lis "travels ia the east'' 1 (the record of which is still preserved ia Volumious quarto form, with that title, in some old libraries), appeared on the streets of London cn a rainy day, dots rain in England with a queer 1 notion, imported from China, in the shape of what is now called an umbrella. It was the first ever seen or used in England, rrobably the first in Europe.

It attracted such curious and indignant notice, that the eccentric Jonas was soon surrounded by a furious English mob, and was boldly pelted with mud and other convenient missiles, for Lis presumptuous audacity in thus attempting to screen his Lead and figure from the rain, which true born EDg lishmen, from time immemorial, had allowed to beat upon them without resistance, as aa ''inevitable" visitation from the powers above upon all who chose to can tot avil ia jour time of gre-Ieave the shelter cf a roof ia a storm or a test need shower.
