The debate was then resumed by Mr. Thomp- ! son, of Pa., in favor of the one hour rule. hoggin moved to lay the whole subject upon the tabic, which was disagreed to. After some further debate, Mr. Brodhead moved the previous question, which was se conded, and the amendment of Mr. Pollock was agreed to. ihe substitute reported from the committee, ' as amended, was then adopted, so that the one i hour rule is retained, with the privilege to tho member reporting the measure, to open and close the debate, and to every member propos- j ing an amendment to occupy five minutes in explaining each amendment. 'lhe rule reported from the committee to authorize a register of those who intend to ; debate a bill, resolution, or other matter, to be kept by the Clerk, and the order of their speak ing to be determined by lot, was rejected. A rule was adopted that "members may ad dress the House or committee from the clerk’s desk, or from a place near the Speaker's chair.” [This is the plan adopted in the British and 1 French Parliaments.] A rule was also adopted that except during the last ten days of the session, no motion to suspend the ruics shall be entertained by the , Speaker, except on Monday of every week; and except also for the purpose of going into committee of the whole, or for providing for discharge of the committee from the further consideration of any bill referred to it, after acting, without debate, on all amendments that may be offered. A rule was also adopted, that whenever the Committee of tho hole finds itself without a quorum, the chairman shall thereupon cause the roll to be called and the Committee shall rise and report the names of the absentees to the House, which shall be entered upon the journals. A rule was also adopted that in Committee of the M hole, all business shall be considered ! and concluded in the order of reference to ! “them by the House, except general appropria tion bills, which may be preferred at the dis cretion of the Committee. Upon the last resolution reported from the committee providing for a committee on the Smithsonian Institution, a debate arose, in which Mr. Andrew Johnson advocated the ap pointment of the committee, and denounced the manner in which the legislation in rela tion to the Institution had been conducted. Before any question had been taken upon the rule for the appointment of the Smith sonian Committee, Mr. C. J. Ingersoll offered a resolution, which was adopted, that the rules ( of the late House, with the modifications this 1 day adopted, be the rules of the House for the present session of Congress. The House then adjourned. Look Off! —There is an impression abroad that the clan of Horse Thieves has been of | late re-organzed in certain sections of Georgia and Alabama, and that the owners of quad rupeds should look to their cattle.

[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.] GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. js house of representatives. Mon-day, Dec. 20th, 1847. I Mr. Shockley moved to reconsider so much •of the journal of Saturday as relates to the rejection of the bill "To revive and amend j rn act entitled ‘An act to incorporate Kioka •Church, assented to December, 1739, and for • other purposes.’ ” The House agreed to re consider. Mr. A\ ulker of Richmond, moved to recon sider so much of the journal of Saturday as relates to the rejection of the bill “To make it | penal to kill Deer at certain periods.” The j .House agreed to reconsider. Mr. Bartow, from the Committee or- the j state of the Republic, made a report relative • to the boundary line of Florida. The House took up the special order of the day cm the bill “For the collection of Taxes for the support of Government for the years ; 1818 and 1849, and thereafter.” Several schemes being considered and amended, the House adjourned without taking a vote. The night session was engaged in passing bills of a local character, to incorporate Towns, j Churches, abolish and create election pre- I ■ cincts, &e. [communicated.] Mr. Editor : I observe in your columns a notice of Mr. Gliddon's Lecture which, though complimentary, is scarcely enemgh so, to satis fy the demands of my admiration. I have been some time acquainted with the reputation of Mr. Gliddon, in connection with - the subject of Egyptian Antiquities, and have heard of the great interest excited wherever he has lectured, but I had not realized, until hearing him and seeing his magnificent collec • lection of illustrations, how well deserved was this reputation, and .how intense this interest might become. To all classes of intelligent persons, the subject. is one-of absorbing interest, and all such persons- should encourage this effort to instruct and please us. There is no other such source of information to be had in our country. Some of the na tions of Europe have Egyptian Museums where such advantages as Mr. Gliddon gives j us may be found, but we have them not here. ■ Yet in their stead we now have, brought to our > doors, as it were, by Mr. Gliddon, the oppor r tunity of seeing, and knowing, and realizing something of that wonderful people, their habits, their arts, their works, their wars, -their religion—in short a sort of illustrated ' or illuminated history of their existence, ? through all its stages, from birth to the tomb, j :r as all these things were some four thousand i r 7 years ago. And we should reflect, that all this history | • is more or less connected with all that wc re gard as important and sacred in the destiny of our people and our race. It throws light upon our origin. It eluci dates manners, and models, and principles with which we all familiarly meet. It illus trates the religion of our country. It devel- \ opes chapters in the history of the human niind which must be read pleasantly and pro- ; fttably by every thinking person. As an inferior consideration, the eye and the taste are gratified by the paintings or colored engravings of oriental scenery, and landscapes and pyramids, and ruins, and figures, and per sons, and animals, and costumes, ; and habits, vhich cover the walls of the Masonic Hall in j rSuch ample dimensions and rich profusion. It is to be hoped that cur citizens will ap- ! predate this rich treat for soul and sense, and that our intelligent appreciation will en courage Mr. G. to give us more than two lec tures. Unless we encourage him by a numer ous attendance he cannot afford it. We ought to have his lectures on the pyra mids, and on mummies, neither of which sub i jects he will have time to touch, unless he gives ius more than two lectures. Let us go in suf ficient numbers to encourage his stay at least j long enough to hear from him on these deeply interesting subjects. An Old Citizen. Special Notices. [T?3Ir.
