CRIME AND CONSEQUENCE. ( Concluded ) ’ I* «u fain to comply with hit request. It fore the two hour* hxd elapsed, however, messenger arrived with the intelligence thi ray wife had been taken alarmingly ill. Ron ing Robert*. 1 immediately departed and pntl cd forward with all possible speed ; but ill distance was considerable and the road exi crablc, and several hours were consumed be fore I reached home. All wa* quiet. Lea] ing from my horse I rushed forward toward the house | a feeing ot faintness came ovi me, and 1 waa obliged to pause and lean i gainst the door-post for support. Rousin my energies I proceeded to my wife's chan ber, and knocked gently for admittance, j faint voice desired me to enter. I did so, an was met by Emily'* sister, who was weepir) bitterly. Not a word wa* spoken — she point «d to the bed and left me. I softly approach •d and with a trembling hand I drew asidi the curtain. Did she sleep } The eyes were closed, th< free serene and almost smiling- 1 took he: hand—it was cold and clammy to the touch.— 1 gently pressed her bosom. Was it a throl that I Kit > No—that heart had ceaacd ti beat, had ceased to feel. Life with all it bitterness had fled. The enfranchised spiri had soared toils native home. 1 gazed in si frtnee. 1 did not weep, 1 did not groan, Then ■was a benumbing, icy thrall that bound uj •very faculty « it was pain, it wa* agony, bu It left, no power to express that pain. I heard a feeble sob : Whence did it pro ceed ? 1 had thought I waa alone. I mover in the direction of the sound. Stretched upor the floor, bis face buried in bis little band*, lay my boy. I kneeled beside him i I raised arid attained him to my breast. “ Oh, let mt go," laid he, “ mother is gone ; I want to g( to motlwr. She said she would ask her Got to keep a place for me, and God is good, I know, and he will do it. Father, lay me dowt there with mother.” Mr, W—— here bent bis head and wep like a child. It is fearful to sue an old mat weep. Hresenlly he resumed. I left the chamber of death, and retired It the room I had used as a study. What wai passing in my mind I am utterly ttnconsciotu of. Ine past, the present anil the future, were raiagled in one common chaos. I war lost in a reverie that seemed protracted be yond the years of mm. Os the mass of con ftised and unintelligible ideas that were swar ming in my brain, one at length stood out clear and distinct, and gathered strength us I brood ed over it. It was « U-ile»truction. It rose npon me, a cheering light, sheding gladness over my dark and desperate fortunes. The intolerable weight which bad pressed upon my mind was at once uplifted, the pent-up ag ony which hud racked my heart passed off, and visions of peace, of a deep, enduring calm, floated before me, nnmixed with a doubt or dread of the untried future. There was a loaded pistol lying on the tsblc ; in an instant it wa* in my grsp, hut heaven in its mercy sav ed me from that crime—a sudden icy pang transfixed me.* utterly enfeebled I sank to Use floor, my sense* fled, and I was its one who is nnMberad with the dead, or who had never breathed among tlse living. When reason was again restored to me, 1 found myself stretched upon a hwl. I recog nized the apartment in which I lays it had been my wife’s, 1 tried to move, hut had not the strength to do *O. I heard* step in the room and essayed to speak j my voice was scarce a whisper 1 the light in the chamber was dim, but my eyes could not endure it. I again closed them and sank into sleep. When 1 awoke, a physician and r. mtrsa nets standing at the bed side. I would have spoken, but they bado me be quiet > and 1 was even as a child, and submitted. For many weeks had disease preyed upon me, and existence been suspended by a single thread which would not break. Slowly 1 recovered, my strength was restored to me, but never, from that day to the present moment, has this withered heart known peace. 1 hare but little more to say. From my medical attendant 1 learned that the young man who had baenfleccoal at the tavern,stung by remorse, and unable to make good (be mo ney be had lost, had swallowed a deadly draught, His aged Cither, stripped ofhis hi de all to pay the debt, broken-hearted, by the villainy in which I had participated,was tlirown with hi* helpless family upon the reluctant bounty of society. Waft is and Roberts liad fled, it was supposed, to the South. My son had been taken home by 1 Iris grandfather. 1 have never seen him since 1 pressed him to my bosom m his mother’s death chamber. He waa and is dear to me as the hope of hea ven to the martyr’s heart, but his eye shall never look trpon the degraded being who gave him life. While listening to the recital of the physi cian, amid pangs that gnawed my soul, 1 form ed the resolution of quitting my country, never again to return, and maotno foreign land, iu an humbW occupation, with rigid economy and ceaseless industry to build op another fortune ; not for the luxuries it might purchase, or the comfort* it might afford me in age, but that I might, as far as money could avail, repair the mischief which 1 had assisted in perpetrating and the injustice I had been guilty of towards my child. I watched tire *ttn as be threw his slant rays on the fields and the (uresis, familiar to me a* the faoe of a friend, and when he sunk beneath the horizon, commenced the preparation* for nay departure. I had some money; retaining as much as was absolutely necessary for my ex penses, and no more, I enclosed the remainder to my physician, with a request that ke would after remunerating- hitnsell, pay the real to the poor old sherilf. I also despatched a note to my father-in-law, stating my intention to leave the country, and imploring him, for the mo ther’s sake, to bestow every cur* and atten tion on her child, and call him by bet- maiden name. This dona, in the dead of tire night I set out on my journey, and took the direc tion of the sea port of . Thence, under an assumed name, I embarked for this island, and here I have since remained, steadily pur suing the course I have laid down for myself. My labors have been crowned with success be yond my hopes, and I am now the possessor of much greater wealth than 1 inherited. When 1 was in England, a mere youth, an opportu nity occurred of rendering an important ser vice to an acquaintance, at that time very nee -1 dy, but who lias since become a partner in one of the most extensive banking houses in London. Instead of burying my money in the f round, as the wiseacres here have surmised, have regularly remitted my gains to him, and by his judicious management of them in the British funds, they have reached their present amount. Through him too, I have received intelligence of my son, on whose education no expense has been spared: He has pa plied himself to the profession of the law, and is considered fast rising to eminence. 1 couldlong :igo have rendered him indepen dent oflabor.but I deemcdltbest that he should cam his bread by the sweat ofhis brow. That portion of man’s doom is not a curse. And now, Ur. S , it »itnply remains for me to acquaint yen with tire service which 1 wish you to render me. You will ascertain ns toon as may be after your arrival in Vir ginia, what descondants there are of .... the former sheriff of their situation in life and character; not that I mean to withhold from them what is justly their due, be they ever so vile ; for may they not, if vicious, trac* their very crimes to my unprincipled conduct? but that by being correctly informed of their pursuits and habits, 1 may be enabled to judge in what manner and to what extent, I can, best actio their advantage. You will also seek the acquaintance of my son, and if you can be come his friend. Write to me and tell me candidly what he is ; but until 1 sleep in death do not speak to hihs of me. You will not be condemned to a long silence, for I feel that my day* are numbered. All necessary docu ment* will be placed in your bonds before y our departure hence. Von arc my executor. lorwisll.

Those opinion* remair ‘P* altogether unchanged. «• Anil now, bad the Constitution aerured the priviledge of entering a PnorssT on the journal a “ I should say one word on the occasion ; although 11 P f what is now proposed shall he accomplished, 1 n ’ know not what would have been the value of such A s provision, however formally or carefully it might r,d have been inserted in the body of that instrument, ff But, as there is no such constitutional privi. lege, I can only effect my purpose by thu* ail , iressing the Senate; and I rise, therefore to make * e dial PROTEST in this manner, in Hie fare of (he Senate, and in the face of the country, which I ‘ e cannot present in any other form. r I speak in my own behalf, and in behalf of my 7 colleague, we both speak as Senators from the State of Massachusetts, and, as such, we solcmn -10 |y Protest against this whole proceeding. ~ We deny that Senators from other States have i. any power or authority to expunge any vole or ' voles which we have given here, and which we have recorded, agreeably to the express provision of the Constitution. Wo have a high personal interest, and the Slate whose representatives we are, has also a .j high interest itt the entire preservation of every in part and parcel of the record of our conduct, as K member* of the Senate. ( j This record the Constitution solemnly declares ,e shall be kept t but the resolution before the Sen -0 ate declares that this record shall be expunged. Whether subterfuge and evasion, and, as it ap | pears to n», the degrading mockery of drawing n black lines upon the journal, shall or shall not leave our names and our votes legible, when thia it violation of the record shall have been completed, in still tbe terms “to eipunge” and the terms “to keep,” when applied to a record, import ideal ex ;o aclly contradictory ; as much so as the terms "to Is preserve” and the terms "to destroy.” u, A record which is expunged, is not a record ? which is kept, any wore than a record which is w destroyed can fro a record which is preserved. .. Tiro part expunged is no longer part of the rc 1. cord; it has no longer a legal existence. It can -. not he certified as a part of (he proceeding of the r .Senate for any purpose of proof or evidence. The object »f the provision in the Constitution, e as wo think, most obviously is, that the proceed -8 luge of the Senate shall hr- preserved, in writing, r‘ *qt frr the present only, not until published only, i Iwuttuso a copy of the printed journal is noljregular - legal evidence ; hut preserved indefinitely; pre ; served, as other records ere preserved, till dcslroy , «d by time or accident. r Every one must sea that matters of the highest x importance depend on the permanant preservation t of the Journals of the two Houses. What but - the Journals show that hills have been regularly f passed Into laws, through the several stages ; what b hut tho journal shows who are mcmliera or who • is President, or Speaker, or Secretary, or Clerk r nflhe body 1 What buliha journal contain*th* proof, noecaaary for the justification of those who 1 act under our authority, and who, without the ’■ power of producing such proof, must stand as tre- I spatters I What but the journal »how who ia ap t pi,iuied and who rejected, by us, on the I’eai : dent’s nomination ;or who it acquitted, or who » convicted, in trial* on impeachment 1 In short " i« them at any time, any other regular and legal ' proof of any net done by tho Senate thaa tho journal itself ? Tho idea therefore, that tho Senate is bound to preserve its journal only until it is published, mid then m.ty alter, mutilate, or destroy it at pleasure, appears to us one of tho most extraor dinary sentiments ever advanced. We arc deeply grateful to those friends who have shown, with bo much clearness, that all the precedents relied on to justify or to excuse this 1 proceeding, are cither not to the purpose, or from the times and circumstances at and under which they happened, arc no way entitled to respect in ' u free Government, existing under a written Con i' riitution. But, for outaalves, wo stand oujlheplain ' words of that Constitution itself. A thousand precedonts elsewhere mode, whether anciaut or ' modern, ean noilher rcactud, nor control, nor ex plain awsy thcric words. 11 The word* are, that “etch House shall it s ire a journal of its proceeding!.” No gloss, no in genuity, no specious interpretation, and much leas ouri any fair or just reasoning reconcile the processol expunging with the plain meaning of 1 those words, to the satisfaction of tho common sense and honeal understanding of mankind, j If tiro Senate may now expunge one part of . tho journal of a former session, it may, with equal ’ authority, expunge another port, ortho whole. It may expunge the entire record of any one ses sion, or of all session*. ’ It seems to u» inconceivable how any men ran regard such a power, and its exoriso at pleasure, I a* consistent with the injunction of the Constitu tion. It can make no different'* what is the coin [ plclonosa or incompleteness of the act of expung j ing. or by what means done ; whether by erasure, obliteration, or defacement; if by defacement, as j hero proposed, whether ono word or many words j are writing on the face of the record; whether little ink or much ink is shed on the paper; or , whether some part, or tho whole, of lit* original , written journal may yet by possibility be traced, j If the act done be an act to expunge, to blot out, r to obliterate, to erase, the record, then the record , is expunged, blotted out, obliterate, and erased. [ And mutilation and alteration violet# tho record J as much as obliteration or erasure. A record, sub [ sequently altered, is not tho original record. It no 1 longer give* a just account ol tho proceedings of , the Senate. It is no longer true. It is, in short, . 00 journal of the real ami actual proceedings of the . Satiate, such as the Constitution says each Hous* . shall keep. x TheJConstitution, therefore, is,in our deliberate judgement, violated by this proceeding in the . most plain and open manner. ■ The Constitution, moreover, provides that the yeas and nays, on any tho question, shall, at the , request of one-fifth of tho members present, be en tered on the journal, This provision,most nvin ifeslly, gives a personal right to those members ’ who may demand it, to the entry and preservation 1 of their vote* on the record o( the proceedings of . the body, not for one day or ono year only, but - lor all time. There the yeae and nayt *lO to . stand, forever, as permanent and lasting prool of 1 the manner- in which members hsv* noted on 1 groat and important questions before them. • Hut it is now insisted that the votes *1 mom , bers, taken by yeas and nays, and thus entered I ob the journal, as matter of right, may still : ha expunged; so that that, which it requires t more than four-fifth* of the Senators to prevent i from being pul on the journal, may, nevertheless, \ he struck oft’, sad erased, the next moment, or at - any period afterwards, by the will of* mire ma , jority ; or, if this be not admitted, then the sbsur- I dity is adopted of maintaining, that this provision • of th» Constitution is fulfilled by merely preserv -1 ing th* yeas and nays on the journal, after having t expunged and obliterated tho very resolution, or the very question, on which they were given, and s to which nlona, they refer Waving the yens and t nays thus a mere list of names, connected with 1 no subject, no question, no vote. We put it to • the impartial judgment of mankind, if this pro • cecding l>c not, in this respect also, directly and palpably inconsistent with the Constitution. I We protest, in tho most solemn manner, that ' other Senators have no authority to deprive us ot • out personal rights, secured to us by the Consli } tulion, either by expunging, or obliterating, or r multilsling, or defacing, the record of our voles, : duly entering by jrmt and nayt or by expunging 1 and obliterating the resolutions of question* on L which those vote* were given and recorded. ■ We have seen, with deep and sincere pain, the ! l.egislturci of respectable Stales instructing the 1 Senators of those States to vote for and support - this violation of the journal of the Senate; and this f pain is infinitely incretsad by our full belief, and ■ entire conviction, that most, if not all these pro 1 ceedings of States had their origin in prompting* • from Washington ; that they have been urgent ly requested and insisted on as heiag necessary s to the accomplishment of tho intended purpose; ) and that it ia nothing else but the influence and power of tho Executive branch of this Govern ment which has brought tlr* Legislatures of s< many of the free Stales of thia Union to quit th< e- sphere of their ordinary duties for the purpose o id co-opersling to accomplish a measure, in ourjudg merit, so unconstilutionsl. so derogatory to thi of character of the Senate, and marked with *0 broar in an impression of eoropliance with power, u- But this resolution is to pass. We expect it 11- That cause, which has been powerful enough l< ’» influence so many Stale Legislatures, will show in itself powerful enough, esjiecially with such tidi to secure the passage of th« resolution here, c Wc make up our minds to bahoid the spcctacli I, which is to ensue. (1, We collect ourselves to look on, in silence I while a scene ia exhibited which, if we dir h not regard it as ruthless violation of a sacrer it instrument, would appear to us to be little ele t. valed shove the character of a contemptiblr i- farce. Thi* scene we still behold, and hundreds 0 " American citizens, as many as may crowd in c to these lobbies and gallaries, will behold i also, with what fealiugs I do not undertake to say. y But we Pboteht, we most solemnly Pro * test, agsinst the substance and against the '' manner of this proceeding, against its object against its form, and against its effect. Wc e tell you that you have no right no right to mai or mutilate the record of our votes given here and recorded according to the Constitution wctell you that you may as well erase the # yeas and nays on any other question or reso. a lution, or on all questions and resolutions, ae on this; we tell you that you have just ae , much right to falsify the record, by so alter ing it as to make us appear to have voted or a any question, as we did not vote, as you have 1. to erase a record, and make that page a blank. in which our votes, as they were actually gi -- ven and recorded, now stand. The one pro g ceeding, as it appears to us, is as much falsi -1 fication of record as tire other. • Having made this PROTEST, our duty is , performed, VVe rescue our own names, 3 character, and honor from all participation ■ in this matter; and whatever the wayward ‘‘ character of the dimes, the headlong and plunging spirit of party devotion, or the fear or the love of power, may have been able to * bring about elsewhere, wo desire to thank • God that they have not, as yet, overcome the love of liberty, fidelity to true republican prin ‘ ciples, and a sacred regard for the Constitu ! tion, in that State, whose soil was drenched to a mire, by the first aod best blood of the Itev ' elution. Massachusetts, as yet, hns not been conquered; and while we have the honor to hold scats as her Senators, wo shall never consent to a sacrifice either of hor rights, or our own ; we shall never fail to oppose what wc regard os a plain and open violation of the Conolitution of the country ; and wc should have thought ourselves wholly unworthy of her if (|e had nut, with nil the solemnity and earnestness in our power, protested against the adoption of the resolution now before the Senate. The question being on the adoption of the resolution, as amended, Mr. BENTON demanded the yeas and nays; which were ordered. lie then moved that the blanks in the reso lution be filled by inserting the 18th day of January. It was agreed to. On agreeing to litis resolution, the vote was ae follows: YEAS—Messrs. Benton, Brosvn, Buchan an, Dana, Ewing of Illinois, Fulton, Grundy, Hubbard, King of Alabama, Linn, Morris, Nicholas, Niles, Page, Hives, Robinson, Rug gles, Scvior, Strange, Tuiimadgc, Tiptou, Walker, Wall, Wright—24. NAYS—Messrs. Bayard, Black, Calhoun, Clay, Critteudou, Davis, Ewing, ofOhio, Hen dricks, Kent, Knight, Moore, Preston, Rob bins, Southard, Swift, Tomlinson, Webster, While—lo. So the resolution was agreed to. Mr. BENTON, observing that nothing now remained but for the Secretary to carry into effect the order of tho Senate, moved that that be forthwith done. The SECRETARY thereupon produced the record of the Senate and opening it at. the pag* which contained tho resolution to be expunged, did, in tho presence of such of the mouthers of the Senate as remained, (many having retired,) proceed to draw black Hues *nli r tly round the resolution, and to endorse across the lines the words “ Expunged by or der of the Senate, the IGth day oj January, lbS7.’ No sooner had this boon done, than hisses, loud and repeated, were heard from various parts of the gallery. The CHAIR. (Mr. Kino, of Alabama.) Clear the galleries. Mr. BENTON. I hope the gullatics will not be cleared, as many innocent persons will he excluded, who have botm guilty of no viola tion of order. Let the ruffians who have made the disturbance alone Ire apprehended 1 hope tho Sergeant-ai-Arms will ho directed to enter the gallery, and seize the ruffians, 1 ascertaining who they are in the best way he can. Let him aproheud them, and bring them to the bar of the Senate. Lot him seize the 1 bank ruffians. 1 hope that they will not now ■ be suffered to insult the Senate, as they did . when n was under the power of the Bank of 1 the United States, when ruffians, with arms • upon them, insulted us with impunity. Let 1 them bo taken and brought to tbe bar of the ' Senate. Here is one just, above me, that may ’. easily be identified—the bank ruffians ! Tho order to clear the galleries was revo ked, and the Sergeant-at-Anna was directed to proceed into tho galleries and apprehend the persons tvho had created the disorder. In s very few minutes the Sergeant-at-Arms re turned, and reported to tho Chair that he had apprehended an individal and had him in cus tody. Mr BENTON moved that he be brought to the bar of the Senate. Mr. Morris opposed tho motion,and demand od the yeas and nays which, being ordered and taken, stood yeas 17, nays 8. So the motion was carried. It was snggestsd by Mr. Moore that, there \v«s not a quorum present, and the Chair at first so decided. But. on being reminded that one oflhe Senators from Louisiana had resign ed, 25 was a majority of the 40 remaining. He declared that a quorum was present. Mr. Moore now moved an adjournment; but tbe motion was lost. The Sergeant-at-Arm* now produced and presented an individual at tho bar oflhe senate. [He was a tall, well dressed man, wrapped in a blue over-coat.] Mr. Benton said that, ns the individual had been taken from among the respectable audi ‘ mice in the gallery, and had been presented , in this public manner, with nil eyes fixed upon ' him, he had perhaps been sufficiently punish- I ed in his feeling*. Mr. B was not disposed t to push the proceedings any farther, and there -1 fore moved that he be discharged from cus > tody. Mr. Morris considered the whole procce- I ding as very extraordinary. If the individu al had been worthy ot arrest, ho ought to have 1 an opportunity of defence. A citiicn had f been brought to the bar of tho Senate, and not ■ informed lor what reason, nor of what offence ’ he stood charged and now it wa* moved that > without t hearing, he be discharged from cue. I tody. Call you this (said Mr. M ) the justice 1 of the Senate of th* United States! Is it in this manner that citizuns are to bo treated? 1 It appear* to me a most extraordinary pro. ' ceeding. Mr. Hevicr moved an adjournment, hut the ' molten did not preveii. Mr. Robinson, near whose se«t the parson apprehended then stood, proposed that lire in dividual have an opportunity to purge himself by oath from the contempt. The Senate were not to presume him guilty, and if he was wil ling to eweor that he iotenled no contempt, hought to have an opportunity to do so. Mr. Morris demanded the ycu and nays on is the motion for ins discharge; and they were of ordered accordingly. j. Mr. Renton observed that if the individual is was ready to go to the Clerk’s table, and there id by oath, to purge himself of the contempt, he, bad no objection. J/Ct him do so. it. Mr. Robinson now staled, on behalf of the to person apprehended, that he was willing and w ready to answer mtsrrowatoriea. 1® Mr. Benton thereupon withdrew his motion for his discharge. 1® The Chair reminded him that he could not do this, inasmuch as the yeas and nays upon it hod been ordered. Mr. Morris was strongly opposed to having the individual suddenly, without warning, and 1' without an opportunity to consult counsel, brought forward to take Ins oath, and under go interrogatories. It would be better to give him until to-morrow, that lie ought have V some leisure lor reflection. He had been ,l brought up here before the Senate of the Uni :c let' .Stales, and before the People of the Uni ted States, and te require him thus suddenly ’■ to be put upon oath in his defence was wrong. 16 He concluded by moving an adjournment. }’ The yeas and nays were demanded and or e dered on the motion to adjourn. ,r Mr. Strange thought that if the individual wag willing now to be sworn, and to undergo • interrogatories, he was certainly the best ie judge of his own rights. He best knew what ho could undergo, and there was no need that 19 Senators should become his advocates. 19 Mr. Benton said that if the man wished to purge himself on oath, now, hero, in presence 1 of the Senate, it was very well. Let him do ® so. But if he wanted to go away and con suit a lawer to-morrow before he could tell whether to meant to insult the Senate to ’’ night, he was opposed to it. If he was ready '* to swear, let him do it, but no consulting with lawyers. 8 The Chair stated to Mr. Morris that the ■’ individual in custody was not brought up with -9 out a charge, as that seemed to imitate. He , was charged with disorderly conduct in the presence of the Senate, and the law gave the r Seriate, as it gave a court of justice, power to ? protect itself in all such cases, by a summary K proceeding, and on the evidence of its own B senses. Mr. Robinson again said that the individual in custody wished for an opportunity of purg -3 ing himself from the contempt. Some confusion prevailed. But the motion 1 for his discharge being pressed, the question 3 was put, and decided as follows : r Yeus--Moesrs Benton Brown, Buoliannan, r Dana, Ewing, of Illinois, Fulton Grundy, ( Hendricks, Hubbard, King, of Ala., Linn, ' Niol ohm, Niles, Page, Rives, Robinson, Rug . pies, Sevier, Talimadge, Tipton, Walker, White, Wnglit--23. 1 NAY—Mr. Wall—l. The individual was accordingly discharged * from custody. Tiro individual referred to thereupon ad vanced, and addresing the Chair, said : . “ Mr. President, am I not to be permitted to speak in my own defence 1” Chair, to the Scrgeant-al-arms, “Take him ' oui I” The Senate now adjourned. From ibo Southern Banner. CENTRAL BANK. In the Banner of the Bd Dec. last, we sta ' ted that the Directors of this Institution had 1 asked of the Legislature, an investigation of its affairs, in consequence of some statements ' which had been given to the public, impugn ing their official conduct. Their request was granted, and the Committee on Banks direct or! to make the necessary examination. A suh-comraittee of three, two of whom were ' political opponents of a majority of the Direct ora, and tire other not considered as by any means partial to the Bank, was appointed, ’ who made a thorough investigation of its books 3 and papers, in which they were assisted by 1 one, at least, of those who had preferred the charge*. The result of the investigation may ' be seen in the following Report: * The joint standing committee on Banks, to 3 whom was referred the annexed statement of ' the condition of the Central Bank of Georgia, ' and the communication of ids Excellency the s Governor with the accompanying documents, 3 on that subject, have had the same under con sideration, and submit the following report: ’ Your committee being fully sensible of the importance of the dnties committed to them, ’ have devoted as much time to the examination 8 of the state and condition of the said Bank, . and its general business, as thoir other duties ' would allow, and they submit herewith a statc ment of the condition andstate of the Bank on the first instant. Your committee have care -1 fully counted all the bills or notes in the Bank, and estimated with sufficient accuracy, its re -3 turn of specie on hand, the amount of its bills , in circulation, and all of its other indebtedness, 1 and also the amount of notes and bills due to ’ the Bank, with its other statements of credit; 3 all of which they find correct, and they take ’ pleasure in stating it as their opinion, that its 3 directors are now managing its affairs in a I proper manner, and with due regard to tboin i. terest of the States. * The committee feel bound to state, that of * the $1,103, 111 60 of discounted notes, §46,- 92439, are in suit, and $211,058 29, are ly -3 ing over unpaid, and also the whole amount of bills of exchange, discounted by said Bank, $72,400 is due and under protest.—All of the I bills discounted are considered good; but of . the limited knowledge the committee have of tlio makers and endorsers of the notes due to 1 the said Bank, they cannot express any opin j ion as to their solvency. They, however, I take pleasure in believing that the directors are using the best means in their power, to insure the safe payment of all the uebts due 0 to the Bunk. Your committee are unwilling to close this, report without adverting to a practice which, l ' they are informed, has existed from an early II date after the Bank went into operation which they consider not contrary to the letter 8 oftheactof incorporation, but of doubtful ’ policy.—By the character no loans can be f made to an individual for more than the sum of ■ §2,500 Yet stdifferent times bills of exchange '• have been drawn by differents Individuals,each for the sum of §2,500, and endorsed, offered, 1 and discounted, to the credit of the same in dividual, who was one of the endorsers; but in justice to the present directors, the committee ■ will state that the practice alluded to has not, before this time, been noticed by any commit tee of the legislature, appointed to examine d into and make a report of the condition and - business of the Central Bank ; and the com d mittee will further state that such lonns have 11 been made when money was lying idle in the * Balik, so as not to interfere with loans on d the days of distribution among the counties * and, therefore, have been profitable to the '■ Bank, without injury to the citizens of the State.—ln conclusion, therefore, your com * mittee submit for the adoption of the legisla ■ lure, the following resolutions : e Resolved, That the Directors of the Gen d tral Bank be and they are hereby required to ,l put all notes and bills due to said Bank in suit 0 if they are not paid or renewed within three 1 month's from their maturity respectively. >• And be it further Resolved, That the Direc c tors of the Central Bank be, and they are 1 hereby instructed, to make no loins exceed ■ ing $2,500 to any person upon bills of ex '• change of any other person or persons what ever, if they should be of opinion, from direct -6 or circumstantial evidence, that such bill or bills were not offered for discount, for the n benefit of the drawer or drawers.

This morning the ground 8 was covered to the depth of six inches—pcihaps more, with a coat of very light, soft snow.—This is indeed a rare and novel sight in Augusta. I’ In to-days paper we publish the solemn protest of * Mr. Webster and bis colleague against the passage e of the Expunging resolution, and the proceedings of r[ the Senate on that occasion. This shbjeet is One which cannot be too often laid before I lie people.— The sacrilegious desecration of the records of that f body to appease the demands of faction—the viola ■■ (ion of the constitutution in carrying out that infa mous act, and the degradation to which the Senato -of the United Slates is reduced, cannot be too sf’en exposed to the public view. It is an act which pos ‘ terity will look upon as the vilest and lowest in its 3 character which has ever yet disgraced the annals of ! our country. t VVALIRE'S SELECT C IRCULATING LIBRARY. 5 Under the admirable management of its indefaliga -1 ble editor and propriplor, this excellent work still 3 maintains its high and well deserved character,and j continues to extend Us circulalion and popularity. It affords us pleasure to recommend it to the atten t tion and patronage of our readers; salisfied as we l are, that no publication is more worthy of it, or more capable of diffusing rational interest, nmuse > merit, and instruction, wherever it goes, but particu ■ larly in the family circle. The first No. of the 9th I volume commences Madame Cottin’s delightful ! Crusade Romance of “The Saracen, or Matilda ! and Malek Adhel," translated from the French. ' NEW YORK MIRROR 1 The last No. received of this beautiful and popu lar work contains an exceedingly rich and highly i finished engraving of the “ Landing of Columbus,” by Danfortii, from a painting by Chapman. It | strikes us as one of the best of the many splendid and beautiful engravings that have adorned that ex cellent periodical, and which are highly creditable to the liberality, mate, and judgment of its conduct ors, and their praiseworthy regard for the fine arts. , It is very large, and presents Columbus in a sink ing attitude, with the Spanish banner in bis hand, , on the prow of a boat, and eagerly surveying the beautiful island toward which it approaches, through the high and dashing waves ; while the as- I lonished natives are pushing their canoes ashore on the beach, and rapidly retreating op the rocks and through the shrubbery : and in the background are seen, at anchor, the vessels oi Columbus, from which his boat and its crowded crew have departed for the shore. The picture is illustrated by an in teresting article from the pen ofJ. S. Jones, the his torian of N. Carolina The No. which contains this exquisite engraving is wholly original, and from a number of the moat able and popular writers of the country— Willis, Bryant, Brooks, Mellon, Morris, Dunlap, Inman, flnters, Nark, <Stc. <Her. Its topography is as usual, exceedingly neat and beautiful—its music unrivaii od—and indeed in every d parlmont it is excellent, and highly creditable, not only to its enterprising, able, and talented conductors, but to the country also.
