Wetleara from lbe Pittsburgh Journal of Satur-. da) that the Pennsylvania Senate took, up this bill on the 23d, when Mr. Darsie moved the proviso as an amendment. It wu opposed by Messrs. O'Neil, of Philadelphia, and M'Caslin, of Greene and ad vocated by Messrs. Carotbeis and Hamilton when without disposing of the matter the Senate adjourn ed over to the 26th. It was thought that the bill would be disposed of to day. i ? Cleveland and Pittsburgh Road W? mw on Saturday a copy of the preamble and resolutions adopted by the Directors of this road on Thursday last, but were unable to procure a copy. The preamble recites the necessity of prosecuting the work forthwith and after resolving that the le gal difficulties attending the construction on the Virginia shore, and the difficulty of procuring Ohio legislation, were such, as to render the Virginia line inexpedient. The Board then resolve to pro ceed to procure rights of way and to advertise for letting, when 8400,000 of solvent subscriptions are made. The road is to be constructed to Bridge port. If the effort, indicated by the Ohio shore ad vocates, at WellsviUe, on Wednesday, be made, to to form a Western shore Railroad from Marietta to Wellsville, Ac., and thus to prevent travel from crossing at Wheeling and induce it to go to New York, we can only say that Wheeling will be apt to protect beiself from such an effort, if possible, and will hardly invest her means without the cer tainty of a return. We hope that our Senator and Delegates will promptly press the Senate Bill and place it in our power yet to offer the Cleveland Road sufficient inducements to rescind theirresolu tion of the 24th adopting the Ohio route. We do not know what amount of stock is subscribed, but presume there is still a vacuum to be filled, and if substantial good be not obtained by bringing this road practioally to Wheeling, it may be that the Wheeling subscription will not be so large, as has been anticipated by the Ohio shore advocates. We hopethatMr. Sweeney's bill will pass and speedily, as money is a moving, if not the moving cause in the location of such improvements. We think that the Boar l have fixed a limitation to their aotion which may yet force the road to come on the Virginia, rather than on the Ohio shore. Wheeling isan xiousto secure this road by whatever route it may take, but we do not hesitate to say that more than four-fiftbs of our citizens preferred the Virginia route and in passing by the wishes of our citizens requestinga delay of action for a few weeks at far thest and in deciding the question of loute belore Virginia could fairly enter into the competition, they have taken a step, which will hardly com mend individual subscriptions at least to a very large majority of our citizens. Attempted Soicidi.?The Indianapolis StBte Journal gives an account of an attempt to commit suicide in ttat city, on Saturday last, by a German named John Schoder. Moans were beard around tbe Slate House, and Schoder was found with bis mouth badly bleeding and cut up, and his clothing saturated with blood. He was once a man of prop erty in Harii>on county, was a member of tbe Me chanics' Health Association of this citf, and had been working of late at bis trade here. The cause of his attempt at self-destruction, he stated to be an unjust imprisonment in the Penitenttary of In diana, and his subsequent failure to obtain redress either from the Supreme Court or the Legislature. He thinks himseif deeply injured, and says he "cannot live as a rogue and vagabond, being rais as'an honest man." KTThe New York Express says?The Monroe Doctrine, which is good enough "thunder" if Ju piter keeps it wrapped up in a bolt under his belt, may have, we see, a ludicrous illustration in Hon duras, or Belize, or British Central America, what ever be the name of tbe place about which the Britiph-Sieamer "Devastation" has been "demon stating." The facts seem to be these. Limas is a place on the tanks of the Roman River, where the British have been for some lime cutting mahogany. Hon duroos claims it as her soil. The British say it be longs to the Mosquito King, and allege that they have possessed it under bim for a long time. Lately Hpuduras senf troops there, and took the place.? The British steamer Devastation run down from the Belize toTruxillo, and told the authorities those "Hondorous troops must be withdrawn from Limas, or (here would be trouble in Truxillo;" whereupen Honduras withdrew her troops from Limas, and left things in statu quo. The|"Monroe doctrine" demands of us that we quit selling cotton, corn, wheat, pork and beef to John Bull, and muster our few tubs of a navy off to the Belize, to settle whether or not Limas belongs to tbe Mosquito King or the Honduranos. If we settle it that Limas is in Honduras, President Pierce is bound to give John Bull a broadside from the tnbs aforesaid, no matter what becomes of the tenants in them. Tohearthis nation talking of enforcing tbe Mon roe doctrine, with not a United States ship of a modern model?with only one or two steamers, thst dare scarcely venture outside of land?and with Congress positively refusing one ceut of additional appropriations for that Navy, is only farcical?that is alt. But go ahead, ye who now have the respon sibility. Cuba, by the last accounts, has again been insulting out U. S. Mail steamers, which in Fillmore's time, woq)4 have been good canse for a grand meeting in the Park, nr a riot in New Or leans, to say tbe least. J3"We see it stated that the Ohio Marble Land Company bave discovered on their lands on the Ohio River, opposite Portsmoatb, Va., a valuable quarry of lithographic stone. This has been tried by several of the leading lithographers in N. York, miid pronounced of excellent quality. Specimens of this atone are now being thoroughly tested, and theie is reason to expeet that the quarry will prove equal to any in the world. Tbe Tribune expresses its belief ibis is the first discovery of tbe kind out of tbe Kingdom of Bavaria. OThe Washington correspondent of the New Tort National Democrat gives currency to a somewhat wonderful revelation, according to which a number of wealthy Californians have entetod into a negotiation to buy out the Sandwich Islands from their present soverign, with the view of having"them annexodto the United States as a e pountv of California. The negotiation, it is as setted, had been brought to a successful termina ting. but the weakminded king was afterwards in duced to withdraw his: assent. The Californians h^ve not given the project tip, but are Endeavoring to bring the kin& back to hisbargain. iK?C*C_J .

Washington, D. C., Match 22, 1853. -/)Aau>pg the appointments made during the Inst two days, are some in your own District, and in w hich you of-course feel an interest. We give you but those which have certainly been made, viz: Dt. G. A. Gracraft, to be Post Master at the City of Wheeling from the 1st of April next, vice, Jacob S. Shriver, who resigns to take effect upon that day. Dr. Cracraft's appointment has not as yet been acted upon by the Senate, but will be to day, 1 learn. There is no doubt of his confirma tion. Sir. Garrison to le Post Master at Triadel ]>hia, Va., vice Foster removed. Mr. Airy, to the same position at Grave Creek, vice Uleakmore, and Harrison Connell to the same at Wellsburg, vice Smith removed. J. J. C. Kennedy, Secretary of the Census Bureau, has been removed, and Mr. De Bou, late Editor of the "New Orleans Commercial," appointed in his place. Mr. De Bou commenced operations by removing one hun dred Clerks, not in the usual way of the "Yaller Kiver" but by general proclamation. We learn that an examination is to take place to-morrow, and some fifty of those removed to be reinstated.? Col. S. R. Hobbie of the District,has been appointed and confirmed as 1st Assistant Post Master General, and his principal, competitor for the position, Mr. Mannypenny of Zanesville, Ohio, appointed Com inissioner of the Indian Office. Mr. Anderson, Ex-member of Congress from Maine, has received the appointment of Commis sioner of Customs, vice Rockwell resigned. Two of the most important offices here, that of Com misioner of Patents and 1st Comptroller, made vacant by the resignation of Messrs. Whittlesy and Hodge, still remain unfilled, but from the rush for the position, we judge they will not long remain so. John H. Campbell, Esq., of Mobile, Ala., has been appointed to the vacant seat on the bench of the Supreme Court A strong effort was made last session to give this position to Mr. Badger, but the Democratic Senators thought the Whigs had their share, and refused to confirm Mr. Badger's appointment. Dudley Mann, and not Charles James, as has been frequently stnted, has been appointed Assistant Secretary cf State. The Gardiner trial is still occupying the atten tion of the Court, and will probably do so for the coming four weeks. Mrs. Fillmore still continues quite ill, and Mr. Fillmore will not probably be able to start upon his southern tour before the 1st of April. We have just learned that the President has nominated Judge Mason of Iowa to be Commissioner of Pat ents. The friends of Mr. O'Banion of Fairmont Va., are pushing his claims strongly for the post of 1st Auditor of the Treasury. The fight for the few offices in the District is becoming desperate. Bradley Tucker, a relative of Senator Hunter will, likely get the appointment of Marshall, and J. G. Benett that of Post Master. H. Baltimore Correspondence. Baltimosi, Ma.eh 24, 1853. The spring business in our city is gradually in creasing. Everything bears a healthful aspect. The Politicians are busily engaged tnaneouvering in regard to the appointments. The friends of Col. Davis, and Ex-Governor Thomas, are both in Washington, pressing their claims. The claims of the former appear to be best, though politics are uncertain. One or the other of these gentle men will certainly be collector. Major Hammond, who has just been appointed Collector at the pott of San Francisco?among the best offices in the gift of the President,?wor'h probably 830,000 a year?is a native of Maryland. He served (or some time in the regular army, was in the Mexican, Campaign, and subsequently re signed to enter upon business for himself, in San Francisco. He there accumulated a large fortune. The appointment is a very acceptable one. Wash ington continues full of strangers, seeking offices and rewards from the Government. A good deal of dissatisfaction already exists and has manifest ed itself. Sec retaiy Marcy has gotten a hornet's nest about him?vengeance is alreidy proclaimed against him. Those who have been disappointed cry traitor. Such things, however, are to be look ed for. He who could succeed in pleasing all wold be an anomily. Sales of Howard si. flour at 34,62, market dull. Grain scarce. Red wheat lOOalOGc., white 118a 111c. Corn, white 50a52c., yellow 55ao6c. Oats 35a40. Cloverseed S7,25a7,50. Coffee QjalOic. Tobacco is scarce and in better request, sales at full prices. The money market is easier. W. The United States Senate.

Affecting Incident?A Matter's Life saved by his Slave.?On Sunday last, Mr. G. M'Cann, while crossing the Mississippi river alone in a canoe, from Battle Island to his plantation, whither had been on a visit to his friend and neighbor, on the Island, Ben Hardin, Esq., was upset, in the middle of the river; he clung to the canoe until he had floated ooposite to the wood yard on his farm, when his cries attracted the attention of one of hia negro men. The boy immediately put off in a skiff, to the rescue of his master; before the negro arrived, Mr. M'Cann bad become exhausted, and sunk. The faithful negro succeeded, ^owever, at the emmi nent peril of hia own life, in reaching his master, . which he did byaeizing him by the hair, and tooic him into the skiff. Mr. M'Cann was in an insensi ble state, and life was nearly extinct. -By the as sidious attentions of the servant, and the applica tion of such remedies as were at hand, he was brought to consciousness. Days or Grace.?An important innovation in the customs of this State, and in fact of the com mercial world, with regard to the day when notes, drafts, bills of exchange, 4.C., must be paid in case of their falling due on Sundays and holidays, was effected in the Bouse of Representatives on Fii-, day, and if the co-ordinate branches of the govern-: ment concur, will become the law of jMiswHIW setts.

Wearisome ate the days, nights, even with the speaking eye of love over your pillow. Dear little Willie! you were as much out of place in that low, dark, wretched room, as angel coulJ well be on earth. Meekly, the footsteps of him who loveth little children, were those tiny feet, trrading. Patiently, unmurmuring, uncomplain ingly were those racking pains endured. A tear, a contraction of the brow, a slight, involuntary clasping of the attenuated fingers, were the only visible signs of agony. What a joy to set beside him!?to take the little feverish hand in mine?to smooth thnt rumpled pillow?to part the tangled locks on thnt transparent forehead to; leant of one, of whom the Saviour says, 'Of such is the king dom of Heaven." But never did I bless God so fully, so gratefully, for the gift of tong, as when? with that little sensitive heart held olosetoinine ?I make him forget his pain by some simple strain. 1 had sung for my own amusement, I had sung when dazzling light, fairy forms, and festal hours were inspiration; but never with such a zest, and with such a thrill of happiness, as when in that wretched room, I soothed the sufferings of 'little Willie.' The garland-crowned prima donna with half the world at her feet, might have envied me the tightened clasp of that little hand, the suffused earnest gaze of that speaking eye, and that half whispered, plaintive?one more??Willie is so happy now!'

Don't sit and groan and grunt and tell What you have tried to do; - Hut place your shoulder to the wheel, Strain nerve, and put her through! Central America?Views of Mr. Everett.' The Hon. Edward Everett, late Secretary ofState, addtessed the Senate on Monday, in relation to the affairs of Central America. ' The points of his speech are thus summed up by the Philadelphia Inquirer: 1. There are five States in Central America, the aggregate population of which is 260,000, only 10, 000 being of pure Spanish blood. 2. These States are yet in their infancy, but the soil is rich and the climate beautiful, and a magni ficent future is before them. 3. Authority for an inter-oceanio canal is desi rable, and both Great Britain and the United States are in favor and willing to co-operate to secure its early completion. But in consequence of the diffi culty between Nicaragua and t'osta Rica, the mat ter has not yet been consummated. Nicaragua of fers to give an exclusive grant, but this she has not the power to do. 4. The Mosquito Kingdom is merely the shadow of a name, nothing more. 6. England has no interest or motive in keeping up the Protectorate, and is willing at once to en ter upon au amicable arrangement; and such an arrangement is likely to be effected, should the United States send a proper Minister to Central America, as she is about to do. 6. He does not think that England meant to vio late the Treaty, although some difference has arisen as to its meaning. She has given up San J uan, and professes to be willing to get out of the whole mat ter as soon as possible. 7. He supposes that at the time of the negotia tion, the settlements at the Belize and Hay Islands were not in contemplation. 8. And further, he thinks the Home Government will disavow the act erecting the Islands into a colony, and he does not apprehend any disturbance of the relations between this country and Great Britain, in consequence of the condition of affairs in Central America. These views are at once interesting and impor tant, coming from a source so well informed.? They are calculated to soothe the public mind, and to induce the opinion that the little cloud that has so alarmed a portion of the public, snd excited Senators Cass, Douglass, and one or two others, will speedily.disappear. Much now will depend upon the character of the Minister who is about to be sent to Central America. He should be a man of more than ordinary discretion, ability and saga city. The fact stated by Mr. Everett, that Cen tral America contains a population of only about 250,000. or about half as many as Philadelphia, and of these only 10,000 of pure Spanish blood, is well calculated to set the imagination at work as to the future. What a wide field for adventure, colonization, and Anglo-American enterprise. An Unwelcome Visitor.?At Erie, Pa., recently tne cars of the Western train, coming in atthn murky hour of midnight, ran past the depot, broke down the barrier erected at the end of the track, dashed madly across the street, and brought up with the locomotive a few. inches distant and direc tly in front of the door of an honest German resi dent. Hans, who was profoundly snoring in the arms of Morpheus and Motlena, was not disturbed by the snorts and screams of the iron horse, or the rattling of the machinery. A waggish fellow pres ent, calculating en n little fun, walked to the back door and knocked until lie had aroused the Rhine lander from his slumbers, whereupon he informed him that there was a gentlemen at the front door who was desirous to see him. The Dutchman star ted for the door, threw it open with a jerk, and there stood the huge creature, his mouth filled with burning coals, and his Cyclopean eye staring with uni artbly brightness, directly in his face, while aloft, with the air of a rider to the hellish steed, rose the"tall chimney breathing 'smokeand sparks of fire. A more Teady reasoner than poor Hans might well hare been astonished by such an apparation. Der tyfel ! screamed he, and gasping in the vain effort to get hold of the fag end of a lat in prayer, he succumbed into a state of insensibil ity, from which he was only recovered by the ad ministration of whisky in very unusual quantities. ?;' -*? <i.?>?*?
