Jacob Brigl of this borough, which bids to become an important acquisition toRail Koad travelling unci to render the ascent and descent of inclined planes entirely free from danger. The wheels are cast with nick or cogs on the inner side of the flanec, upon the principle of the rag-wheel rf a sa-mill. On the body of the Car are inverted iron clicks or dogs, which alternately fall into these nicks as the cars ascend or decend the plane and in case of accident, by Cars becoming drtaJied, or by the breaking of a rope, (as was the case near Holhdaysburg a few weeks ago) instantly lock the wheels and stop their progress. The inventjon is the more complete' as by the very process of breaking, which would otherwise cause accident, the wheels become locked; and the whole train of Cars, no matter what may be the elevation of the plane, are checked and held fast. m.
It is bd'eved that, with this improvement, Rail Road transportation will become entirely safe, and hence it is important to the whole community. Application has been made for a Patent and measures will immediately be taken by Mr. Bright to introduce the improvement into public use. APPOINTMENT BY THE GOVERNOR. George Weiscr, Esq.

It has, been a long, tedious, and unproductive session. With the exception of the acj regulating the value of gold coins, and the pre-emption act. and a few others, the eye wanders over tne vast desert of useless, and virulent debate, without one green spot on it can rest with pleasure or satisfaction. The vindictive course of the Senatorial triumvirate, finds ho parallel in the history of the nation. The warfare that Clay, Calhoun and Webster, have carried on against the President, has been marked with all the unrelenting cruelty of savage barbarity no age, no condition, no situation is exempt.
But, thank Providence, the pros pect brightens. The spirit of the nation is awakened, and, so far from the course of the Senate being sanctioned, and in the language of th6 Telegraph ot 30th being considered as 'bold, dignified and patriotic," it will receive the stamp of the virtuous indignation of the People and they will in their majesty, thrust from their abused confidence, those public servants, who have misrepresented their views, and prostrated fheir rights.

We understand that a gentleman who resides west of this place, discovered in his orchard a forty gallon oil to the bank of the canal, and in knocking in one of the heads, to his astonishment, the contents proved to be the body of a female approaching to a state of decomposition it was entirely divested of every article of clothing.
Doubtless this was an expedient adopted to elude a recognition of the body. We also understand that the body was immediately interred without examination, or without calling a jury or inquest, and that these hasty proceedings were by the advice of one or more physicians who were called on the occasion. We are surprised to hear that so awful and suspicious a circ*mstance should have been suffered to pass without more scrutiny, and indulge the hope that a further examination may yet be instituted that something may be discovered about the cask or body by which the whole transaction may be exposed.

An incendiary attempt, Was made about two o'clock this morning, to set fire to the house of the Niagara Hose The clothing of the members left in the building was collected together; and oil thrown over it and set on fire.
The fire immediately communicated to the frames on which the hose was suspended, and that as it fell coil by coil, fortunately fell upon the bell robe, and caused the attention of the watchman, who arrived in time to save the building, but too late to catch the villian, who made his escape before the watchman could apprehend Com. Int. them hauled on the course, and are now endeavoring to persuade the public that the Bank is dead, By this means they hope to draw off public attention from the all engrossing subject which is now agitating the community, and secretly secure their influence for the Bank. They also have the bare-faced impudence to tell the people that the contest is not the Bank and the people: that with the approaching election, the U. S.
Bank has nothing to do! This declaration comes with but an ill-grace from individuals who, not three months ago, declared that unless the Bank was rechartered, assassinations death, desolation would commence their work. Who has forgotten that the life of our Chief Magistrate has been threatened unless the Bank was rechartered? And will men who have the hardihood to utter these denunciatory threats of vengeance, now insult the public by declaring that the Bank has nothing to do with the approaching struggle? We believe the people will not be deceived. We believe that the Bank is stronger than ever, and that if is now gathering up its resources for another onset, more tremendous and fearful than any which has yet been fought between it and the people. We believe that the claim which has now settled over the country, is but the forerunner of a more, determined attempt at the final overthrow of our civil liberty.
