THE CLOSING SCENES IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. We call the attention of the public to the ar ticle in this paper copied from the Raleigh Standard in relation to a most scandalous scene which took plure in toe- House of Commons on the ,2 -2d ult., the day fixed on by a joint resolu tion for the adjournment of the General Assem bly. That scene was a blemish upon the fair lame of North Carolina a State hitherto justly distinguished for her oidei ly and conservative character and disgraceful to the guilty actors. It exhibited an amount of political atrocity in a large portion of the whig representation in the i House of Commons which we could not have be lieved possible had we not most inccntestible proof of it. Had it not been for the fii m conduct j of Sainl. F.. Philips, F.sq, one of the ft hig mem bers of the House from Orange county, and a few other whigs who refused to bow to the dictates of their party w hen the honor and welfare of the State was in jeopardy, we might now be plunged into the vortex of civil revolution.

The act furthermore authorizes the Town to raise the amount of its subscrip tion by the sale ot its bonds bearing interest at the rate of 7 per cent per annum.

We propose now to continue h up to the present lime. - FAYETTEVILLE AND WESTERN ROAD. We learn that IOC miles continuously of. the main stem of this Road are now under toll that some 5 miles more are completed, but not in connection-cleaving only about 7 miles unfinished between Fayettevilie and Salem. Besides this, the Company is about to construct a branch, (leaving , the main stem 33 miles from town.) about 12 miles , long, to Evans' Mill on Deep River. .This branch has been surveyed, located, and a steam mill removed to the work. Active operations will be comme need on it in a few days In addition to this, the Company propose to build another branch to this branch, leaving it about I miles from the main stem, and running A miles t Gulf (Haughton's Bridge). Active op erations will be commenced on it in a few days. Contracts for constructing both these branches have been made at $1250 per mile. A separate Company has been organized under a charter granted by the last Legislature, to con struct a,Koad from Gulf to Graham, in Alamance county.. Stock has been subscribed to secure the Road tti3fnrf" Foundry within 12 miles of Graham, with every prospect of its continuance. This may be considered as a continuation of the Western Road, although constructed under a dif ferent charter. FAYETTEVILLE AND SOUTHERN ROAD. This work is now complete. The Road leaves town through both Gillespie and Winslow streets, unites irr about miles, and goes thence to Lumber Bridge, 15" miles, passing through all the heavy sand, and terminating in Robeson county, where there are firm, good roads. This Company has made good dividends during the past year. In to-day's paper there is a semi annual dividend of 4 per cent, advertised. FAYETTEVILLE AND NORTHERN ROAD. Ten miles of this Road have been constructed during the past year and is now under toll. The Company purchased the Clarendon Bridge In March last, at a cost of 12,000. From the re ceipts of the Bridge from April 1st, and from S miles of the Road since Sept. 10, this Company has been able to declare 6 per cent, dividend on its capital stock, leaving a considerable surplus The work will be prosecuted vigorously during the ensuing year. FAYETTEVILLE AND CENTRE ROAD. Fifteen miles of this Road have been complet ed, and 20 miles more put under contract, reach ing to Blue's Bridge in Richmond county. The Company is making every effort to have this Road extended to Concord in Cabarrus county. Great hopes were entertained of aid from the late Legislature, but the effort failed. If any assistance was due to any section of our State, it was to this. The Peedee country has never heretofore asked or received anything from the State, and we think something was due it. The contract to Blue's Bridge will be vigorously pressed, and by Jan'y, 1S51, that much, if no more, will be completed. Jt is to be hoped that Richmond, Montgomery and Stanly counties will not let the work stop at t he-Richmond line. FAYETTEVILLE AND RALEIGH ROAD. This Company, organized as a joint stock Co., and without a charter, has constructed a Road from Fayettevilie to Kingsbury, 11 miles, and has put the same under toll. Surveys have been run to McNeill's Ferry on Cape Fear. A char ter was obtained from the last Legislature, and the Company will be soon organized under the charter, and will be prepared to carry on the work more advantageously. KINGSBURY & LOCKSVILLE PLANK ROAD. Under a charter granted at the late session of the General Assembly, a preliminary survey has been made for a Plank Road from Kingsbury (a point on the Fayettevilie & Raleigh Plank Road, 11 miles from Fayettevilie.) to Locksville on Deep River, a point about 2 miles above Hay wood. This Road will run through a pine coun try, admirably adapted to the production of tur pentine for a distance of twenty odd miles, and it is confidently anticipated by its friends that when completed it will pay very handsome divi dends. A large portion of the trade of Chatham, Orange, Alamance, Guilford, and the counties lying north of these, will pass over this Road. Its extension to Greensboro' is contemplated, and a charter has been granted for the purpose. If this project is carried out, it will greatly add to the amount of travel over the Road. A still farther extension north, into the tobacco coun try, would afford a strong prospect to Fayette vilie of regaining the tobacco trade (now divert ed to Petersburg, Va.,) which in former times was a very extensive and important business to F ayetteville. If the scheme of opening theCape Fear and Deep Rivers above Fayettevilie should prove successful, the Kingsbury and Locksville Road will become doubly important to this town as a means of keeping a large trade which miht, without this medium of. transportation, seek a market higher op' the Ttiver. The estimated length of this Road is 35 miles, and the estimated cost $45,000. (tC5-We have received a long prospectus of Barnum (P. T.) &. Beach's new paper, "The II- lustratad News," with the modest request to publish said prospectus; and give to the paper an occasional editorial allusion. In considera tion of this we are to be made happy by the re ceipt in perpetuam of the " Illustrated News.'and that without charge! This said prospectus came in an envelope with an ominous looking big black figure 2 on the back, indicating that the postage had not been paid. The Editor of the North Carolinian was expected as a matter of course to pay postage, publish prospectus, arid" prostitute his pen and printing press in puffing that humbug, Barnum, and his partner, Beach. Gentlemen, excuse us. But appropos to the subject, we cordially recommend to our readers the "Southern Weekly Post," a literary family newspaper printed at Raleigh, conducted with skill and abounding in excellent reading matter. We take pleasure also in recommending the "Illustrated Family Friend," a literary news paper published at Columbia, S. C. And lastly, we beg leave to recommend, to the southern peo ple the policy of patronizing northern papers less, and southern papers more than they do. 03- The Raleigh Star has our thanks for the copy of Captions o'fthe late'Legislature forward ed to us in the early part of the week. NORTH CAROLINA. UN REPRESENTED. It was the dutjr of the Legislature at its late session to have elected a IT. S. Senator to soc- 1 ceed the Hon. Willie P. Mangum whose term of office expires on the 3d of March next. the Legislature has left undone. As the' Dem ocratic Party was ostensibly in the majority, tt may be supposed by some that it is respon sible for the present state of affairs. The facts of the case clearly show however that the Dem ocratic Party proper is not so responsible. The members of that Party ia the Legislature met in council and nominated for Senator that gallant democrat and most estimable man Hon. James C. Dubbin, and strove by ail the means in their powe to secure his election. But the secession of a small faction, for which we believe the Hon. Romulus M. Saunders chiefljr responsible, defeated their efforts. We-. mean not to denounce these; men. They are responsible to their constituents for the course they have seen proper to pursuev But we call upon the Democratic Patty to mark them xoell every man of them, and trust them no longer. A man who has once been deceived is unfortunate. But a man who has twice been deceived by the same faithless agent is little less than adxiyelling idiot. -THE COAL OF DEEP RIVER. " The quantity, the quality, the facility of min ing and cheapness of transportation to market, are the matters of chief consideration in estimat ing the value of Coal Mines. With regard to the first three items, the Coal of Deep River is all that could be reasonably desired. The great desideratum is, a means of transporting it to market. It is proposed to supply this want by means of a Railroad from the Coal Fields to this place, w here excellent water transportation can be had to the markets of the world, and the Le gislature has granted a charter for the purpose. That the proposed Road could be built at a mod' erate cost we do not doubt, and that on such a Road as might-be constaucted the rate of trans portation would be reasonably cheap, we think equally probable. There is a considerable de scending grade from the Coal Fields to this place, which in all probability will be found of great assistance in the transportation of a heavy article, such as coal is. There are, we believe, about twenty locks on the Cape Fear and Deep Rivers. Estimating the fall at each of these at an average of ten feet (we have no accurate in formation on the subject) there would be be tween Fayettevilie and the Coal Mines a descent of about 200 feet, or an irregular descending grade of four feet per mile. In Hampshire count', Va., extensiye Coal Minei are now being opened on both sidesof the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Nature and art combined have made Baltimore the main outlet for this coal. The distance by railroad from that city to the mines is 207 m'les, and a great portion of the route is through a rough and un favorable country. Notwithstanding these cir cumstances, naturally calculated to enhance the rate of freights, a large capital managed by dif ferent companies, has sought investment in the mining region, and heavy profits are confidently calculated on. The Engineer of one of these Companies1 (the New Creek Co.) an experienced and reliable miner, has furnished the following estimate of .the profits likely to be realized by his company, which we copy from the NewYork Mirror: "Wholesale price of coal at Baltimore Copt of mining Transportation to Baltimore Contingent charges, say $3 25 $0 30 1 90 0 50 2 70 $0 55 The dis'ance from the Coal Mines to Fay ettevilie is 45 miles. The distance by water from Fayette- etteville to Wilmington 120 " The distance by water from Wil mington to Stnithville 35 " 200 But suppose it should be found expedient to extend the Railroad from Fayettevilie to Wil mington and Smithville, The distance to Smithville is 110 miles. Add distance from Fayettevilie to the Mines 45 " The distance then from the Mines to Smithville is 155 And the distance to Wilmington is 125 miles. It is evident from these simple figures that the Coal Fields of Deep River are 82 miles nearer Wilmington and 52 miles nearer Smithville than the New Creek Mines of Western Virginia are 1 1 Baltimore. At Smithville a coal depot might be established at which the various, lines of steamers navigating the Atlantic Coastwise! might touch for a fresh supply of fuel. This of itself, in course of time, when the number of these lines, keeping pace with the rapid pro gress of the country, shall have greatly increas ed, would create a considerable market. Let us then submit a rough calculation, based on the supposition of a Railroad from Wilmington via Fayettevilie tothe Mines, of the cost of putt ing the coal at the former place : T Cost of mining, per ton, $0 45 t Transportation, per ton, to Wil mington, 125 miles, I 25 Contingent charges, per ton, say 50 -'.$2 20 Suppose the coal to be worth at Wil ngten as much as the Cumberland coal ; J worth in Baltimore, viz, per ton by wholesale, $3 25 Deduct cost and charges 2 20 And we have a clear rnP This estimate- " ' ton, of -ftic. continued Railro v ming ton. We are by , continuance would be found" faes- should not, it 'will be because freis River will be found cheaper, which .wilj,till further diminish the estimate of the cost of transportation. The present rates of freight on the Cape Fear furnish no reliable basis for cal culation of the prospective freight on coal, and has, on that account, not been taken into the calculation. We have submitted these remarks and esti mates more with the hope of calling the atten tion of practical and enlightened men to the sub ject than with any expectation of being able to furnish information of value on a subject with which we profess no particular acquaintance. ThU estimate is taken Cram tha Report of the Direc tor of the Deep River Mining and Transportation Com- Ptln estimating the cort of transportation by Railroad, we nave taken tne rate of freight on tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad as a basis of calculation, which ia about 1 cent per mile per ton. aa will be seen by recurring to the estimate of tbe engineer of the Mew Creek Co. siren above. fTHfi CONTESTED SEAT IN THE SENATE. Thi ease, after having undergone a rery elab- orate discussion in the Senate, by some of the ablest lawyers and statesman in the country, has atlengtn oeen decided. I he fact giving rise to the dispute were as follows, Mr Clay was elected Senator from Kentucky in 1849, for the full trrm of six years. On the 17th of December, 1951, Mr Clay resigned, to take effect on the first Monday of September, 1853. The. Legislature of Kentucky being then to session, elected Mr Dixon to fill the vacancy which was to happen upon the fir-t Monday in i September thereafter, by the resignation of Henry Clay. On the 2Dth of June, 1352, Mr Clay died. O.i the 6th of July the Governor of Kentucky appointed Mr Merriwether to "hold the place, or to occupy a seat in the Senate un- ne resignation of Mr C)ay should take eflect. jjer.that commission Mr Merriwether took seat in the Senate." At the opening of the present session, Mr Dixon presented his creden tials, which at once raise j the question which was decided on the 20th ult. The question was upon the amendmen offered by Mr Jones of Tenn. to a resolution previously offered by Mr Gvvin, the eflect of which amend- .n i A a 1 T-v : . : . i a . v.

The question involved was by no means one of easy solution, as may be seen from the published debates upon the question. Though Mr Merri wether was a democrat and Mr Dixon a w hig, it will be seen that the vote upon the question was not a party vote. The Senate of the U. States is democratic by a large majority, and the vote upon this question is largely in favor of the whig applicant. What becomes of the cant of whig journals about the injustice and rascality of the " locofocos " ? PROPOSED MONUMENT TO HENRY CLAY. A communication has recently appeared in the National Intelligence.!, signed by a large num ber of Senators and Representatives in Congress, recommending that a national monument be erected in honor of the lamented Henry Clay at Lexington. A general organization by States and Territories is recommended as a means of furthering the design. BISHOP IVES. The New York Commercial has the following in regard to the rumer that Bishop Ives had joined the Roman Catholic Church: Bishop Ives. An article having been re ported from the London Tablet of Nov. 27th , as-sertiag- that the Rt. Rev. Bishop Ives, of North Carolina, in an interview with Cardinal Wise man, "had renounced the communion of the Re formed Church, and submitted himself to the Church of Rome, it is right that the friends of the Bishop and the Church at largt should be informed jht let tert received from h& Bishop himself, and other members of the family, travel ing with him, dated at Paris, on different days since the a Hedged event, make no mention of it whatever, and are wholly irrecoucileable with its having occurred. J. II. HO BART. 30G Fourth st., ISth Dec." ELECTRO-BIOLOGY. The New Vork Tribuue gives the following account of a very singular experiment, exhibit ing the influence of animal magnetism upon inanimate matter. "Singular results are obtained In thi City from a very simple application of the nervous fluid, animal magnetism, or whate ver be the agency, to brute matter. Iet a party of six or eight persons sit around a common pine table for twenty minutes to half an hour with the palms of the hands held flat on the top of the table; it is not necessary that their minds should pay any attention to the process, or the ordinary conversation be suspended; but presently the table becomes so charged with the mysterious fluid that it begins to move; then rise from it, push away your chairs, still holding your hands near, though it is not necessary to touch it and it will turn around from end to end, and even proceed rapidly about the room, .without any visible agent, on which ex cursions the persons must bear it company, or the current is broken and the movement stopshis simple experiment may easily be trt jf it requires no faith and no outlay of physical or moral strength; and the result; with a table that is not too heavy, is pretty sure to follow; at least, we have known of several instances in which it has been most astonishingly produced. The fact, when scientifically established, must throw light on the obscurites of Mesmer ism, Spiritual Manifestations, and all that unexplored" class of phenomena.'1 The Weekly Post bears testimony tothe truth of the above paragraph, one of the editors of that paper having tested it by actual experiment.
