We now quote 8a 9 cents an the extremes of the market. IKonny* Money ia alill scarce—our Banka are waiting the action of the Legislature in order to knots what to depend upon. Should that he favorable we think that the present pressure will be abated to a considerable extent. (XT’The author of “Honesty” is requested to give us his name.

Mr. Jourdan reported a hill to regulate the emission of the paper of Banka, under certain circumatancea, and to compel tire resumption of specie payments within a given time, under cer tain penalties and conditions. Mr Miller reported a bill to point out the mode of creating certain corporations, to define their righta, and privileges, and to provide u mode of changing the namea of individuals. 'The resolution of Mr. Payne was made the special order for Wednesday j it was in relation to the suspension ol operations on the main trunk of the Western and Atlantic Kail Road. It will elicit, it is believed, much interesting discussion ; for, under existing circumstances, it is certainly a measure of much moment. Bills passril.—To niter and amend an act, en titled “An Act more effectually to secure the solvency of all the Banking institutions of this State,” passed 24th December, 1838. 'This bill is not on important one, and only relates to u change in the publication by the Executive of tile list of stockholders in each Bunk. To change the place ol holding the precinct election in the 233 th District, G. M. (in Ogle thorpe county.) To alter and amend an act, entitled “An Act to appoint additional Commissioners on the Ohoopie and Canooehee rivers, in the county of Tumuli, passed in 1838, so far as relates to the Commissioners of the Ohoopie, and for other purposes.” To alter and explain the second section of an act, passed on the 28J December, 1828, entitled “ An Act for the belter protection of orphans and their estates, ns relates to suits against executors in their own wrong.” To continue in force the 8J section of nn act, passed 23ib December, 1837, entitled “An Act to admit certain deeds to lie recorded, &c.” To authorise and empower the Justices of the Inferior Court of Emanuel and Bulloch counties to sell or lease the lands belonging to and set apart for county purposes. To extend the lime for fortunate drawers in the counties of Early, Irwin and Appling, (meaning of lands there,) to lake out grunts. This bill Was amended so to* to include the counties ot arig nully Gwinnett, Walton, if all, Habersham and Rabun. J The bill to alter and amend a part of the first » section of the third article of the Constitution, was nude the special order for Thursday. 1 Tuere was much diaallory debate, but chiefly upon strictly local measures, none of them affect ing your city or county.

The following bill in relation to the banks of this Slate, it will be seen, has lieen introduced simultaneously into Itolh Houaesoflhc I.egisl#- urc. Mr. Glascock introduced in the House, and Mr. Jordan, in the Henate, the following bill. A lull to he entitled an act to regulate the emis sion of the paper ol Banks under certam cir cumstances. and to compel the resnoipiion of specie payments within a given time under cer tain penalties and conditions. Whereas some pf the banks of tills state have suspended specie payments without any apparent overruling cause, and it is seriously leared that olbers will follow the evil example, and that sonic banks under suspension (for the purpose of profit to the stockholders,) will increase the issues ol their paper, and engage in and encourage wild speculations, and thereby retard the period of re sumption, or place themselves in a position again to he obliged to yield to the first panic that en sues, and subject the country to periodical revul sion*; for remedy whereof, He it eii'icled In/ the Senate and Haute of Representatives of the State of Georgia in gener al assembly met and it is hereby mac ed by the authority nf the same, That from and after the passing of this act. any hank which has suspend ed, or shall hereafter suspend specie payments ot its notes, or which does not promptly and on de mand pay gold or sil-er for its notes, and which shall then have in circulation an amount ol notes more than equal to two thirds the amount ol its capital slock actually paid in, shall discontinue any further emission of its miles or paper until tin amount so in circulation shall have been rolled in, and reduced to nn amount not expending two thirds of its capital stock actually paid in—and thereafter shall not, until such bunk slmll have in full resumed the payment promptly on demand in gold or silver of its notes, circulate, issue, emit, or pay out its notes to un amount exceeding the rate aforesaid—and any hank violating the pro visions of this section shall forfeit the sum of one thousand dollars. 2. And he it further enacted. That from and after the passing of this net, no Bank which has in circulation a less amount of notes than tin rate aforesaid, which has now suspended speck payments, or shall hereafter refuse to pay prompt ly on demand gold or silver fur its notes, shall circulate, emit, ot pay out its miles during such suspension of such Bank lo an amount exceeding Ihe above proportion or rule, under n penalty o one thousand dollars. 3. And he it farther enacted, That it shall be the duly of every bank in this slate, which is now or slmll be in a slate of susjierision of specie pay ments, to publish once a month, at its own ex pense, in a gazette at or near the place of its Inca lion, and in one of the gazelles of the town ol Mi Hedge vile, a succinct but clear and lull state ment, on oath, of Us specie and other means, ami ol its notes in circulation, and other liabilities. 4. And he it further enacted. That during tin suspension of specie payments by any Bunk in this State, such Bank shall not require of any one now indebted by note lo it, a reduction ol such indebtedness beyond the rale of twenty-five per cent, per annum on the debt due. 3. And he it further enacted. That no Bank in Ibis Slate after he day of next, shall nn any account suspend specie payments, or refuse the payment of its notes in gold or silver under the penalty of a forfeiture of its charter, and for a violation of the provisions of this section, it shall be ami is hereby made the duly of his Excellency, the Governor, upon the necessary information, forthwith lo take the legal slops to enforce the same, unless he shall in his judgment think proper on the then condition of commercial and monetary affairs to ex end the operation of this act to u period not longer than the first day of December, 1840. which he is hereby authorized and empowered lo do by Proclamation. 6. And he it further enacted. That from and after the passing of this act, and until the ufure said day of the act entitled un act to re gulate the intercourse between banks and private individuals, so ns to subject bunks to the payment ut damages if they refuse or fail to pay specie when demanded under certain circumstances, passed 241 h Dec., 1832, lie and ihe same is here by suspended, anil declared inoperatite until the said day of and nn longer, provided that Moiling herein contained shall prevent a recovery of damages on all suits now instituted and pend ing in any of (lie courts of law or equity in this Stale, under the said m-t of December, 1832. 7. And he it further enacted, That from and after the day nf it shall be the duly of the cashier of every Bank of this Stale, on 1 lie pre sentation of any bank note or notes at the bank where the same are payable, to endorse thereon the words following lo wit: “Payment refused," and subscribes his name thereto, with the day of the month and year; and on all suits instituted on such note or notes, such endorsements shall be considered us conclusive evidence of demand and refusal, and sufficient lo entitle nny holder to a recovery on the same, upon proof of the hand writing of such cashier, and on refusal ot Ihe cashier to make the endorsement aforesaid, he shall forleit the sum of dollars, on every note presented. 8. And he it further enacted. That the fines and penalties imposed Ivy this act not otherwise provided for. shall be recoverable on the criminal or civil side of the court, nt the option of the prosecutor, one half of which shall be paid to the prosecutor, mid the other half to the Inferior Court of the county where the conviction or re covery shall take place, for county purposes, and it shall be tbe duly of the Solicitor Genrurls of (be Stale, when u violation of this law shall come lo their knowledge to prosecute for the penally, 9. And he it further enacted. That front and after the passing of this act. it shall he the duly of the several banks of this Slate in lltetr semi annual reports to the Governor, to specify the ag gregate amount due by their directors, the aggre gate amount tine by their stock-holders, and the aggregate amount due by individuals, without designating their names. 10. And he It further enacted, That all laws and parts of laws militating against this act ho and the same are hereby repealed. The House ordered that 210 copies of the above bill bo printed. Fro in Ihe Georgia Journal, I*l oceediiigt) of the Legislature. Our readers will find by a reference to the pro ceedings of the Legislature, that although busi ness is progressing rapidly in both branches, noth ing ot man rial unponaiu-e has transpired t n cither branch, (if we except the failure to repeal the Free Banking Law in the Senate) although many bil s of importance are before each body. In the discussion, in the Senate, on the motion to agree to Ur. Branham's bill to repeal tbe free bunking law, some little “sparring" took place, that was not altogether devoid of interest. The bill having been read the third time, Mr. Springer of > urroll rose to oppose its passage, on the ground of the public minty of free banking. He was followed by tbe author ol the biff (Dr. Branham) who cont. ml at that the whole system was one of no utility, bul rather un injury to the people and the cuti-i cy ot the country. ! M--. Kelly, of Hou. ton, contended tor tbe svs - lent as one that would afford not only a good I currency, but that the security to the bill holder was undoubted, and belter than that afforded by the chartered banking institutions ol the country. He also observed that the currency bad not yet b.-en injured, and that It was time enough lo re peal tiie law when that was the case, i Mr. Christian, of E licit, was opposed to the rt peal, on the ground, that great injustice would j be done to the institution, formed in the county of Elbert, and ready to go into operation, but from gome cause, (which we did not distinctly hear 0* Mr. Chriatian npokc rather low) it had tiol yet issued any of its bills. Mr, Uranliam observed that he did not desire 1 to do injustice to the institution about to go into operation in Elbert county, but his object in in troducing the bill was to effectually kill the whole • system, every feature of which he was opposed f to; and he had no disposition to leave it to future legislation, being fearful that all legislation favor able to free banking, would rather increaee the i e> il than diminish it. I Mr. Springer, (in rather an excited tone ) said, t that lie would inform the Senate, that that man i (Dr. B.) was the director of a banking institu : tion under the old system—that he (Mr. S.) was I opposed to the old system —that the syateni pro- I posed in the free hanking law, was founded upon the real estate of the country—that property in i negroes and land was no only the basis upon which they would bank, but that there was fur ther security in the 25 per cent of specie, to meet their issues when presented for redemption—he r called upon the Senate to look at the returns of the old banks made on the first of October, and 1 11 sen if 25 per cent of specie was in their vaults ■ to meet their issues—he tlnrefore hoprd that the Senate would not he persuaded by Dr. Branham, for the time he assured them would soon arrive when the old hanking system would fail before (lie free banks “Ike grass before the wind!!” The Senate then adjourned. 1 The discussion was resumed on Thursday, but circumstances prevented our attendance during the debate. Ths hill wash si, as our readers will perceive in the proceedings of the. Legislature in another column of our paper. On Friday an ef fort was made to reconsider, hut this also failed. We regret the fate of Dr. Branham’s bill, op posed as we are “in toto” lo the whole system as p oposed by the act of 1838, “to authorize the busV.ess of banking.” Two petitions have been presented in the Sen ate praying to “repeal the license law.” The one, we understand, that was presented by Mr. Porter of Greene, was a petition from the faculty and students of the Mercer University. Mi. Por ter observed, in presenting tins petition, that he was totally opposed, not only to the prayer of f lie petitioners, but to the action of the Senate upon l otherwise than by laying it upon the table. He merely wished to discharge a duty that he owed to his constituents in presenting their peti tion to the Senate. The other was presented by 'V Vincent, and was from sundry citizens of Jackson county. Mr. Vincent was also opposed t .the Senate’s having any other action upon the petition limn that pursued by the body in relation to the one presented by Mr. Porter. They were both unanimously laid on the table lor the hal mcc of the session. We li.o'- will* much si-violy for .jiio, import of the financial committee, Messrs. Berrien, Holt, and Chappell.— We understand that it will he printed, and ready for both Houses, onto morrow. It is n very lengthy document, but no doubt one of great interest. Among the many important hills intreducedin both Houses, there is one, introduced in the (Sen ate by Mr. Miller ofßiehmond, “to limit the time in which widows may apply for the assignment of dower,” We are pleased that the able represen tative from the county ofßiehmond has introdu ced such a hill, and hope (hut it will pass both Houses. Many instances are on record which plainly show that the honest and industrious have been imposed upon for the want of such a law. It has our wishes for its success. Mr. Springer has introduced a hill to divide the State into nine Congressional Districts. Without entering into the merits of such a hill, we think it would be bet ter to postpone its consideration until after the next census, which takes place the nextyear. It is likely that Georgia will he entitled to another representative, and for him, there will be no Con gressional I istriet. Mr.Tarver’s bill. Introduced in the House, on the 12th, relative to the stay of executions, pro vides “ that in all cases hereafter, any party, against whom judgment shall be rendered in any of the courts of this Slate, may enter good and suflieient security, either in open court or in the rleik’s office, within lour days from the adjourn ment of the couit, for the payment of the judg ment, as follows: one half within twelve months and the remaining hull within two years from the rendition of judgment. And upon such security being given, nod all costs being paid, execution shall not issue during the said stay. Provided, that if such party shall lad to pay the one half at the expiration of such stay of twelve montl s, then, and in that case, execution shall issue against him, her or them for the whole amount of such judgment. When security thus given, is deenud insufficient or insolvent, the defendant is to give other good security, on failure of which, execution is to be issued. This act is to extend to all eases in justices com Is, as well as in the Superior and Inferior courts of this state, and to continue in force two years.” Treasurer’s Report.
