GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Nov. 17. In the House, Mr. Scarlett intro duced a bill to amend the Road Laws of Glynn, vesting in the Justices of the Inferior Court, the power of electing commissioners, &c. Mr. Hazzard offered a resolution authoriz ing his Excellency to provide Clerks of the Superior Court with Legal Blank Returns, of General and County Elections. Mr. Hazzard introduced a bill to reduce the interest on money in Georgia, which, on mo tion of Mr. Hazzard was referred to the com mittee on Finance. Mr. Hazzard introduced a bill to amend the 6th and 7th sections of the militia law of 1818 and for other purposes which was referred to the military committee. Several bills were introduced, among which was one to divide the State into Congression al districts. Mr. Hazzard introduced a bill more effec tually to prevent persons residing in one coun ty to draw out from the Central Bank of Geor gia, money appropriated to other counties. Nov. 18. Yesterday in the House, Mr. Jenkins introduced a bill to amend the act in corporating the Augusta Free School Society of 1821. Mr. M’Dowell introduced a bill in the House to guard and protect the citizens of the State against the too frequent and prevalent use of deadly weapons. The Legislature will proceed to the con sideration of the important business before them, now that all the elections have been des patched. Mr. King of Glynn, introduced a bill to a mend an act entitled an act to incorporate the Bank of Brunswick, Ac. Also, To amend an act entitled an act to establish a Bank at Milledgville, to be called and known by the name and style of “The Central Bank of Georgia,” to appropriate money, Bank stock and other securities, to form the capital stock of said Bank, and to incorporate the same, pas sed 22d December, 1813. Nov. 19. Mr Polk introduced a bill to change the mode of electing the Judges of the superior courts, attorney and solicitor generals, so as to give the election to the people. The Governor transmitted to the legislature the resignation of Mr. John P. King, as Sena tor in Congress. The joint committees are frequently in ses sion, and preparing matter for the action of the legislature: reports will soon be made. Nov. 20. The House concurred with the amendment of the Senate, to the resolutions respecting Gen. Nelson’s mounted men, by a majority of 18. The amendment of the sen ate dir."etc the Q ivernor to take bond and se curity from Gen. Nelson for the faithful dis bursement of the $30,000 appropriated, and to draw the amount from the contingent fund ap propriated at the last session of the legislature, most of which remains unexpended. Nov. 21. In the Senate and House, this morning, bills were read a second time, and several of a local nature passed. The only proceeding of importance is a message of the Governor to the House, giving his reasons for exercising his veto power witli regard to the resolutions directing the sum of $30,000 to be paid out of the contingent fund, to meet the'ex penses of the volunteers on their way to Flori da, under Gen. Nelson. Mr. Burns, in the Senate, introduced a bill to provide for the call of a Convention to re duce the number of the General Assembly of this State, and to alter the constitution of the State, so far as the same requires the organi zation of a Supreme Court, and for other pur poses therein named. Nov. 22. Both branches of the General as sembly, met, by resolution, at 3 o’clock this afternoon, and proceeded to the election of a senator in Congress, in place of Mr John P. King, resigned: Wilson Lumpkin, of Clark, was elected. Nov. 23. In the senate, this morning, Mr. McAlister introduced the following resolution: “Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in General assembly met, that his Excellency the Governor be requested to despatch forthwith, a special agent, to negotiate on behalf of this State, with the legislature of the State of Ten nessee, now in session, for the purpose of ob taining an act from them authorising the ex tension of our state road from the Georgia line, through the territory of Tennessee, to the Teneessee River.” In the senate, also this morning, the bill to authorize limited partnership was taken up, in committee of the whole. Some amendments were made to the bill. The bill as amended was reported to the Senate, and I am glad in writing it, passed, by 42 votes against &j. From the spirit of Internal Improvement which we discovered prevailing among the members of the Legislature during our recent visit to Milledgeville, induces us to urge them on in the undertaking—not only as a mat ter of pride as citizens of this State, but from a desire to see Georgia vie with the other States of the Union in the march of Internal Improve-! ment Already has a Committee been appoint- 1 ed by the Legislature to devise and propose such measures as will enhance the wealth of the State, and give an impetus to trade in gen eral, which must arise by such undertakings, if a liberal hand is extended in progressing those works of improvement which have com menced. To speak of our own Rail Road, we are not informed that any application will be made to this Legislature for its assiatance.— As far as we could discover, having but a few days ago traveled along the line, we were agreeably surprised at its early completion.— Already sixty miles are under contract, and nearly half of which is finished, and it is con templated that the residue will be accomplish ed by the Ist of June. The tract, (the length of which we speak) is graded and durably laid | —and had the Company adopted the course of policy in the onset in letting out certain por tions by contract, it would by this have far advanced to its completion. But as the proverb goes—“ Experience teachesln this instance, it has been fully verified, and from ■the attention and untiring exertions of the Pres ident and those engaged in this work, we are pleased to say that the link between Savannah and Macon will soon be joined. We are not to be considered as selfish in our remarks; for, we are as desirous of seeing an early completion of all the roads which are now progressing, and this can be done if the Legislature will come forward liberally to their j aid. This doubtless, they will do, should the same spirit which we observed, still animate them, and we may have the gratification to say previous to the adjournment of the Legislature, that the people’s Representatives of 1837, were moving and giving a proper countenance to insure success to all enterpnzes of Internal Improvement.—[Savannah Republican. From England. London dates of the 11th and Liverpool of the 12th ultimo haye been received at New York. There is nothing material from England, save the commercial intelligence. A state ment of the revenue of Great Britiain is pifb lisheu for the quarter ending the 10th October last, which shews a decrease on the quarter of £1,187,702 sterling. The accounts from France are not later than those which reached us by the Louis Phillippe. The expedition against Constantine is the ab sorbing topic in Paris at present Don Carlos, as we always predicted, has found himself worsted as soon as he quitted the mountain country in the North of Spain, and is returning there from his unsuccessful attempt on Madrid as fast as he can. From Portugal, the accounts now received only confirm the complete overthrow of the friends of the Charter granted by Don Pedro. Liverpool, Oct 10. Cotton. The sales to-day only amount to 1000 bags. Oct. 11. The Cotton ■ market on Tuesday was exceedingly inactive, and the sales did not exceed 1000 bags, at rather drooping pri ces. To day there was a moderate demand, chiefly from the trade and 2500 bags were sold at fair prices—particulars of which are not worthy of notice. [New York Courier and Enquirer. St. Augustine, Nov. 14. The remainder of the Cherokee Delegation arrived in this city last week. They are the bearers of a talk from John Ross, an influen tial chief of the Cherokees, to the Seminoles. They have authority to convey unharmed, any of the Seminole Chiefs who may desire to vis it the City of Washington, for the purpose of concluding a treaty. The delegation had an interview with the chiefs in the Fort on Saturday. We under stand tli is internew was strictly confined to professions of friendship between themselves. We further learn that these chiefs were de lighted at the interview, and are sanguine as to the favorable result of their undertaking. The Seminoles are little inclined to treat we think except to procrastinate, and of such treaties we have had enough. [Herald. Sam Jones is now considered the whole head and front of the Seminole war. Those who know him, represent him a great rascal. Our readers will recollect that some time last spring after the capitulation ol Micanopy, some ne groes came in who reported that the Semin oles had deposed Micanopy and elected Sam Jones in his stead. It is reported that the .Mi ami kies are determined to remain in the coun try at all hazards. [lbid. The Florida returned from Mosquito on Sunday last Brig. Gen. Hernandez and suite came passengers. Twenty one negroes be longing to Messrs. Cruger and Depeyster, Maj. Heriot, and the Estate of Major Wood ruff, were brought up in the Florida. The ne groes state that a large number of Indians are assembled near Indian River, ready to fight Two Indians were brought into town yes terday who were captured on the west side of the St Johns. They confirm the report of the negroes who were brought from Mosquito, that the Indians are concentrated and waiting for a fight They say they are in number about 2COO. [lbid. English Rail Roads. In looking over the annual report of the London and Birmingham Railway company, (says the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette) we were struck with the large a mount of certain expenditures. The whole length of the road will be 112 1-2 miles, and the cost will be about $22,000,000. At the time of making the report, 18th August, only '24 1-2 miles were completed from London.— In the 23 days preceding the report, the whole time of the section being open to travel, 38,855 persons had travelled the route, and the daily number was rapidly increasing. The daily re ceipts were about nine hundred dollars. A mong the costs attending the works, we no tice— For obtaining the act of incorporation, $350,000 Advertising and printing, 10,000 We were particularly struck with the state ment that the gross weekly receipts for par cels now carried on the Birmingham road is upwards of S6OOO. A London paper mentions that an invention has been applied to the locomotive steam en gine, by which all that disagreeable noise caused by the alternative motion of the piston is prevented. [Augusta Constitutionalist. Finances of Egypt. The finances of E gypt have increased rapidly during the last forty years. At the time of the French con quest, 1799, they amounted, according to the official documents, to 35,500,000 of francs; in 1825, to 47,988, 152f; in 1834, to more than 63,000,000f; and at the present time, to more than 89,000,000f. These revenues arise prin cipally from contributions on landed property; profits on the sale of flax, wool, wax, Ac.; as well as from duties on stuffs, rice, dates, salts, senna, asphaltum, Ac ; besides the imports of the customs,-inheritances, navigation dues, Ac. There is said to be an annual surplus of nearly 12,000,000, notwithstanding the great expense caused by the military and naval es tablishments, and the public works. notice to subscribers. T. W.

J. HAMILTON COUPER, Executor. Aug. 31. 4m. PROPOSALS For publishing, by subscription, a work to he entitled Flora Gcorgiensis. THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta ble Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac curate description of every plant yet discovered in Georgia, together with its medicinal or nox ious properties—its English name—its emblem, language, Ac. Such a work is much needed, at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We have no text book in Botany, calculated to render the science attractive. Such as we have, are nothing more than a few disconnected facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a few leaves, roots, flowers, Ac. all tending to excite disgust rather than taste. Students should, as soon as possible, be inducted into the practical part of the science—it is that only which can inspire them with enthusiasm in the prosecution of their researches. We have nev er known a profound botanist, made so, by delving for months over pages treating of sap, alburnum, cambium, and the like. This work will teach pupils, first, the names of the classes and orders in the Linnean system, the method of analysing flowers, and, proceed next, to the examining, collecting and arranging of them into an herbarium. A lore for the science be ing thus implanted, it must and will increase, and urge them on to further and further investi gations. We intend that our work shall be, at once, a text book for schools—a pleasing companion for ladies in the boudoir and saloon—a useful friend and companion for gentlemen in their travels, their daily rambles, Ac. Finally, it will be enriched with every species of informa tion which can render such a work entertaining and instructive. We solicit the assistance of scientific gentle men throughout the State, in furnishing us with information concerning the names, locality and habits of plants in their immediate vicinity.— Such information will be gratefully and proper ly acknowledged. Postmasters are requested to act as agents in receiving and forwarding us subscriber’s names, as early as the Ist November. The work will contain from 5 to 700 pages, octavo, and be furnished to subscribers, in boards, at $5 per copy. It will be issued dur ing the next winter, provided the number of subscribers warrant the expense. All Editors throughout the Southern States, friendly to the diffusion of scientific knowledge, who will insert this notice, and forward us a copy of their paper, will be entitled to one copy of the work.

THIS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief ly to Literature, but occasionally find ing room also for articles that fall within the scope of Science ; and not professing an en tire disdain of tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as it will continue to be, in the main, original. Party Politics and controversial Theology , as far as possible .are zealously excluded. They are sometimes so blended with discussions in literature or in moral science, otherwise unob jectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valuable matter ad here : but whenever that happens, they are in cidental, only; not primary. They are dross, tolerated only because it cannot well be ser ved from the sterling ore wherewith it id incor porated. Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy their due space in the work : and it is the Ed itor's aim that they should have a threefold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, such vuluable truths or’interesting incidents as are embodied in the works reviewed, —to direct the reader's attention to books that dedferve to be read, —and to warn him against wasting time and money upon that large number, which mer it only to be burned. In this age of publica tions that by their variety and multitude dia tract and overwhelm every undiseriminating student, impartial criticism, -governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to him who does wish to discriminate. Essays, and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both —Historical sketch** es— and Reminiscences of events too minute for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten ing its interest, —may be regarded as forming the staple of the work. And of indigenous Poetry enough is published—sometimes of no mean strain—to manifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our coun ty-. The times appear, for several reasons, to de mand such a work—and not one alone, but many. The public mind is feverish and irri tated still, from recent political strifes :—The soft, assuasive influence of Literature is need ed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita tion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad :—They should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lash ed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Igno rance lords it over an immense proportion of our people : Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in crease their number ; so that the great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of our country. And to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can be employed, than a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger;, if that plan be but carried out in practice ? The South peculiarly requires such an a gent. In all the Union, south of Washington, there are but two Literary periodicals ! North ward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty '. Is this contrast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo ple, compared with those of the Nothern ? No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may justly claim at least an equality with our breth ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt affords us, if we choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri ting, which they enjoy. It was from deep sense of this local want, that the word Southern was engrafted on the name of this periodical : and not with any de sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate supposed local interests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see the North and South bound endearingly togeth er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil-- ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence : and happy indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by making each re gion know the other better, contribute in any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa ternal .love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now reached the 19th No. of it* third volume. How far it lias acted out the idea* hare uttered.- is not for the Editor to aay. Ha believe#, bmps ever, that it falls not further abort of them, than human weak near usually makes Practice fall short of Theory* No subscription will be received for leaa than a Volume, and must either begi*frith the cur rent one —or may commence with Vol. IV, the first number of which will he issued on the Ist January, 1838.—The price is $5 per Volume, which must he paid in all cases at the time es subscribing. This is particularly adverted to now, to avoid misapprehension, or ftiture mis understanding—as no order will Jhfluaflu be attended to, unless aocompained with the price of subscription.
