GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Dec. 18. In the Senate, as the order of the day, the currency bill was taken up, first as in committee of the whole, but to read the bill.— It was then taken up in Senate, when a mo tion was made by Mr. Harris of Baldwin, to lay j the bill on the table for the remainder of the : session. This motion was lost without a di vision. The bill was taken up by sections.— 1 Nothing was decided with regard to the first 1 section, when at one o’clock the Senate ad- j joumed, to meet again at 3. The House took up the report on the bill to j appropriate money for the support of govern ment for the political year 1838, and it being j again read, —that for the compensation of the members of the legislature, blank dollars each l>er day, and on motion of Mr. Meriwether to fill the blank with Jive dollars, the yeas and nays were required to be recorded, and are • yeas fNi, nays 52. When the bill was taken up on Saturday, it was moved to fill the blank with five dollars ; the vote was taken and pronounced by the: speaker to be carried in the affirmative; but 1 when the yeas and nays were required to be recorded, it was lost, and then reduced to two dollars per diem; Monday it was reconsidered, and of the two they chose the largest. The bill to restrain, prevent, and make pe nal the paying away or tendering in payment, issuing, emiting, passing or circulating any hank bill, note, &.c. which may or shall be re deemable or payable at a longer period of time than sixty days, was amended, read the third time, and passed under the title thereof. The resolution appropriating a sum of mo ney for the erection of a monument over the Hon. Lyman Hall was agreed to. The bill to amend the b'th section of the 3d article of the constitution was read the third time and passed. The bill to altar and amend the 7th section of the 2d article of the constitution, was read the third time and passed under the title thereof. Dec. 11*. Yesterday, in the House, a bill was passed to incorporate 4he Milledgeville Itail Road Company, with the privilege to con struct a rail road from Milledgeville, to inser sect the Georgia Rail Road, at or near YVar renton, and another road to intersect the Cen tral Rail Road in the direction of Wilkinson county. And this morning in the House, the important bill providing means for the con struction of the Western Atlantic Rail Road, by the state, was passed: yeas 113, nays 47. All the afternoon of yesterday, and this morning, till 1 o’clock, the Senate was occupi ed in the discussion of the currency bill. The bill to prevent the circulation of bank bills issued by the late Bank of the United States was taken up, and the same being read, Mr. Goodwin offered the following as a sub stitute therefor to wit: A bill to prevent the circulation of the bills or notes of the Bank of the United States, chartered by the United States, bearing date anterior to the 4th March, 1833, which was received in lieu of the orig inal, which was amended and read the third time. Mr. Bell moved to lay the same on the table for the balance of the session—yeas 1)1 nays 71. The bill to incorporate the Georgia Marble Society was read the third time and passed— yeas 38, nays 51). The bill to incorporate the Widows Society j for the relief of indigent widows and orphans i in the city of Savannah, was read the third 1 time and passed. Dec. 20. When the Senate met yesterday ! afternoon, a motion was made to lay the cur rency bill, amendments, &c. on the table for j the remainder of the session. This motion was sustained, yeas 31, nays 23. So the bill was rejected. And this morning, a motion to re consider was lost. The House has rejected the bill to increase the capital stock of the Bank of Columbus. The House has also rejected the bill to pre vent the circulation of the bills of the Bank of the United States, chartered by the federal government. But in the senate, a bill of simi lar import was passed—yeas 33, nays 13. The House has rejected the bill to repeal the act prohibiting the circulation of bank ! bills under the denomination of five dollars. The Senate has passed a hill to incorporate! the Savannah River Embankment Company. The Senate has passed a bill to authorize the Georgia Rail Road and Banking Company to continue and extend their road, from the town of Madison to Covington, in Newton county, and to connect the road with the Wes tern and Atlantic Rail Road. This morning, in the Senate, the Public Ed- | ucation bill was passed. A bill was also passed, to punish persons ; found guilty of placing obstructions, &c., on rail roads, &.c. In the Senate,.this morning, the bill to ex tend the privileges of the bank of Milledge ville and Western bank, so as to hold real es tate, and to discount to directors and stock holders, &c. was lost.

Yesterday afternoon in the House, a bill was passed, authorising the directors of the Central Bank, to borrow £725,000 on the credit of the state, to meet the expenses of the year 1838. This money is to be borrowed at legal interest, and only for one year. In the Senate, yesterday afternoon, the bill to regulate the intercourse between the Insur ance Bank of Columbus and the other banks and banking companies of this state, &c. was taken up, and after some debate, the yeas and nays were taken on its passage—yeas 32, nays 33. Previous to taking the vote, Mr. Dunagan proposed a proviso to the bill which had been accepted, and which declared that the provis ions of the bill were to go into operation -only after the resumption of specie payments ■ by the banks of this state. On motion, this morning in the Senate, to reconsider the bill to regulate the intercourse between the Insurance Bank of Columbus, and the other banks, &c., the yeas were 40, nays 33. The reconsidered bill to altar the charter of the Bank of Brunswick was taken up, and pass ed with amendments. The authority to estab lish branches and foreign agencies was striken out of the bilL Dec. 22. A bill has passed the Senate, yeas, 49, nays, 12, to amend the constitution, so as to prohibit the incorporation of a bank or nnv banking company for a longer period than twenty years. The House passed the Senate bill altering the constitution, so as to change the meeting of the Legislature from arthuul to biennial. This morning also in the Senate, the bill of tire House, for the construction by the State, of the Western apd Atlantic Rail Road, was taker! up and passed. According to this bill, which is one of vast importance, and establish es firmly a system of internal improvements in this State, scrips are to be issued for stock, at the rate of not more than six per cent per an num, for any sum not to exceed §500.000 in one year, to defray the expense of the road.— In the Senate, the section providing a salary to the commissioners was stricken out The House w ill have to concur in this amendment to the bill. Dec. 23. Both branches of the General Assembly of Georgia adjourned last night, sine die, at the late hour of two. The great internal improvement bill was called up for a third reading.

A correspondent who wrote us on Saturday and Monday last, but whose letters, from the state of the roads and drivers, caused by the late heavy rains, reached us but yesterday,ob serves (23d inat.) “This morning the Senate reconsidered the vote rejecting the Marine and Fire-Insurance Bank bill, and after striking out the riders pla ced upon it by Mr. King, of Glynn, finally ■ passed it —yeas, 32, nays 28. Great exertions were made on the part of your delegation and their friends to carry this measure. The fate of the bill has been somewhat singular. It has been killed in both houses, reconsidered in both, and has finally passed both. The Brunswick Bank bill Ims just passed the House —Yeas 59, nays 52. On the 25th the same correspondent observes —“A motion was this morning made by Air. Shaffer, to reconsider the vote of Saturday, in the House, laying on the table for the balance ' of the session the bill for the relief of Levi S.; D’Lyon of your city. The House refused to j reconsider—yeas 40, nays 32. Tlio House | had nothing to do, after reading the journals, | hut to await the action of the Senate. 1 must close for the mail. _ A Leader “Called Oi r.” Mr. B—, a provincial manager, who visits several small towns, within forty miles of the me tropolis, (Guildford, Heading, Croydon, t!Lc.) engaged anew leader of the hand, a very efficient musician; but this gentle man was eternally teazing Mr. B—, with hopes that he woulden’t go to Croydon. “What has Croydon done to von ?” ask- 1 ed the manager, “Are you in debt there ?” j “No.” “Have you a wife there?” ‘No.’, A dozen interrogatories were negatived, , and the mystery remained unravelled. At length the company did actually go to Croydon, and surely against his will, the \ luckless leader too. He had scarcely ta ken his seat on the first night, when a' voice from the gallery exclaimed, “Who sawed the man’s legs off ?” Next night, and every night after, another and anoth er caller came, and the last call was loud er than the former. At length the leader I sent in his resignation. “I can hear it no longer, Sir.” “Bear what Sir ?” —said ! Mr. B—, who had never applied the gal lery exclamation to his leader. “Why don’t you hear’ein calling me out every night, “Who sawed the mail’s legs off?” j “To he sure I do, but it is some slang j phrase, and what can it matter to you ? ’ I “Every thing, Sir?” “Why, did you ever saw a mail’s legs oft'?” “Alas ! Sir, I was a small undertaker in this town once, and having mismeasured a coffin for the work-house, I was obliged to cut off" the legs of the corpse to put him in it. j This got air, and by this cry they hunted l me out of town.” i The last Case of Ajisevce of Mind.—A necromancer, a few mornings: since, when dressing for breakfast, drew J the arms of his coat over his drum-stick legs, and putting his pantaloons on where his coat should he, walked leisurly down’ stairs upon his hands, with his feet in the air. lie did not discover his mistake un til in drinking coffee, he spilt some and burnt bis nose. Tom Dibdin. Behind the orchestra, or thereabout, there is a retiring room for the hand, called the music-room. When Tom Dibdin was stage manager at Sad ler’s Wells, lie heard an unwonted gig gling in this room, accoinpained by some uproar : lie proceeded thither, but ere lie arrived the gigglers had been concealed, and the musicians where hiding the pew ter pots and glasses by their instruments. ‘YVhat on earth are you doing here now?’ asked Dibdin. ‘We came down to look at the quartet,’ was the reply. ‘l’ve heard of many quarts drank but never of any quart cat, in tha room before,’ said the punster. Another remarkable instance of abliv -1 iousticss ! A gentleman, after hearing the | account of the absent middled man who wiped his face with the newspaper, and ! sat down to peruse the napkin, said that was nothing to an- instance that occurred to his observation. His bedfellow, lately, who was remarkable, for his habitual ab sence of mind, after having made all need ful arrangements for retiring to rest —put ! his candle into bed, and blew himsell out! !—[Boston Post. marine intelligence. 1’ OR T OF BRUNSWICK.

Its contents are adapted to the wants of Die Farmer, Mechanic, Trail-sinaii, Agriculturist, Merchant and Manufacturer. This Journal was commenced on the first of January last, mid, without any previous effort to herald its success, went into immediate and rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent ed popularity which attended its projection that, in about six months from the period it was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand names were embraced on its subscription lists! which have been ever since constantly anil rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super cede in extent and stability every other pub lication which has existed in the literary world. It is generally conceded that the contents ol’ tiie Messenger embraces as much original!, mnllcr as any other periodical of the present day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome information, with a view fotln- cultivation of a correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the chief object at which it aims. Arrangements have been entered into, by which the publish-- er will la- assisted in the editorial department by tin- talents of three or four gentlemen of distinguished abilities—and it is intended to introduce several important improvements, which will bespeak additional popularity for its columns. As the character anil leading features of this Journal are well known throughout till- United ►states, it will be superfluous to enter into a recital ol the same. The-seasou is approach ing, how ever, when the reading public are ex pected to make their selections for Alic next year, and wo deem it advisable, therefore, to furnish a brief and explicit statement of our terms, which we hope will prove satisfactory, and be implicitly observed : A ten dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage paid, will pay for ten copies of the Messenger i’or one year !
