Instead of a represen tive Chamber, an assembly is to collected together, and not to be ssolved during, at least seven ars, for a more frequent recur nce to the opinions of the people not consistent with the present ItraKoyal Government of l-'rance. New-York, Dec. 1. By the ship Columbia, from I.iv pool, we have intelligence from ‘gland seven days later than was fore rectived.

It appears however, that a safe inland communication from the St. Mary’s river to the Gulph of Mex ico, is in all probability easily brought about through the medium of a short canal to the Suwanna river. Avery superficial knowledge of the geography of die country will make the great importance ol this communication sufficiently manifest. The great por tion of the shores of the Gulph of Mex ico, now opened by the United States, tiie immense value of the productions of the large and extensive back coun try whose foreign commerce must all pass through this dangerous naviga ion, render the safety of their com merce an object of high importance in a national point of view, ’['his is par ticularly evident in time of war, w hen the extensive coast of Cape Florida must be exposed to all the dangers of naval warfare. It by opening the ca nal contemplated, an easy, safe, and cheap conveyance can be opened to the commerce of this extensive and valuable portion of eur country, it is an object highly worthy of the consid eration of the Legislature ; but the State of Georgia is more essentially interested as one of her principal towns, and a large portion of her coun try, would be benefitted in an incal culable decree. tour committee therefore recom mend the adoption of the following re solution : Resolved, That His Excellency the Governor be, and he is hereby request ed, so scon as a qualified Civil ar.d Topographical Engineer is appointed in conformity with the laws of this state, to direct him so soon as practi cable, to have a survey made between the navigable waters, with a view to ascertain the practicability of opening a canal from one river to the other, and that he cause a report of such sur vey to be made to the next ensuing Legislature after such survey may have been made. The joint judiciary committee made the follow mg report which was agreed to: — The joint committee on the judicia ry to whom was referred the resolu tion, instructing them to enquire iuto the expediency of appointing some lit and proper person to compile and di gest the Statutes of Kugland that are of force in the state of Georgia, Re port, That they have taken the same into consideration, and are of opinion that the subject matter embraced in the said resolution, is one well worthy the serious attention of the Legisla ture. It being known that there arc hut few copies of the Statutes of Eng land in the State of Georgia, and those which arc of force in this state being comparatively speaking, but few, and scattered throughout a heavy and vo luminous work, to wit, the statute laws of England up to the year 177 b, so that very few have the opportunity allorded them of knowing what the said laws are; and in order to effect this desirable object, the committee take leave respectfully to recommend the following resolution: Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, ihat it is ex pedient that some fit and proper per son should be appointed by the Legis lature at its present session, to com pile and digest the statute laws of England that are now in force in the State of Georgia, and whose duty it shall be within two years to report the same to his Excellency the Governor, who, after the same lias been examined by a committee of three learned in the law, (to be appointed by him for that purpose) shall approve or disapprove of the same ; and who for their said services shall be paid by the Governor, out of the contingent fund— and when the said work shall be performed and approved, that his Excellency the Go vernor be, and lie is hereby authorized to subscribe for ‘2OOO copies in conve nient bound volumes—provided the sum does not exceed the price of four dollars per volume, to lie disposed of and distributed as tiie Legislature mav direct. Die following written communica tion was brought from liis Excellency the Governor. Executive Department, Geo.) Milledgeville, 9th Dec. 1823. > During tin* -ho,rt period I have been in the Executive office, it has not been difficult to ascertain that the hooks and papers ot it, are in such disorder and confusion as to require immediate at tention. Instead of a regular classifi cation and an alphabetical arragement under it, the papers of all kinds, w ith out regard to the subject matter of them, are put on file as soon as they are received. The consequence of this prac'ice is, that the existence of documents depending on the memory alone, the most experienced in the de tails of the office are at a loss where to look for them and the search after any, the mofct important and recent, is as likely to be fruitless as unavoidable. If you think with me therefore, that this is a matter of sufficient public importance to justify expence, I would recommend to you to authorize the employment of a competent number of active Clerks, with stipulated com pensation who shall, under the direc tion of the head of the department, perform this special service. The work being finished, they may be dis charged. I lie old books and papers, connected with the events which from our early history, are thrown into trunks and put aside as food for worms. So far as the history ot our country is of any value to us, I would submit for your consideration, whether these also may not be overhauled, and be made to pass through a similar classification and arrangement. (Signed) G.M. TROUP. The following resolution accompany ing the report of the Bank committee, was adopted : Resolved, That the different Banks of this State in which the State is a stockholder shall and they are hereby required to make plain ami full exhib its to his Excellency the Governor of this State, for the time being by the 20th day of ()c tober in each vear of the real slate ami condition of those institutions calculated to the Ist day of October preceding, particularly shewing in their respective reports and exhibits, the amount of specie in their vaults, and owned by said Banks ; the amount of issues in circulation, the amount of discounted paper due and running to maturity designating the amount in suit, the amount con sidered bad, and (he amount consid ered doubtful ; with an exhibit of the names of (he parties, makers and en dorsers of such had paper, and at what time or times such loans were made; a schcd ule and description of all real or personal property owned by the said Banks, and from whom pur chased.

Editor* —The following lines were written during i confinement by sickness, if you think them worthy a plate in your paper, they ure at your disposal. I’M ALL ALONE. Oh why alas! am 1 so sad, My spirits so depressed ; Why can’t 1 feel like others, glad, And seem like others bless'd ? Is it because my lot is low, And fortune is unkind, That makes the silent tear to fiow, And thus distracts iny mind ? Or is it that iny humble name, By late ordained to die, Is not inscribed on charts of fame, To meet the public eye ? ’Tis not tor honor or for wealth, That 1, my lot bemoan ; But ‘tis, that I’m denied my health, And that I'm bllelone. I’m like a hnptess prb'ner bound, And (juite uneasy grown ; 1 cast my wishful eyes around, And sigh to think that I'm alone These nukcd walls that hound my sway, Like some lone cavern yawn ; Ami seem with taunting air to say, “ Why art thou thus alone ?” True, solitude doth oft impart A calm and soothing tone, But who, that has a feeling heart, Would always be aloue ? ’Tis true, I’ve friends sincere and kind, ( l glory such to own ; ) And this is why l thus repine, To grovel all alone. To mingle in a social mood, We are by nature prone : And Heaven declares “ it is not good For man to he alone.” Rochester, (jY. V.) Nov. 18. The statement that one hundred and forty three bushels of corn were raised by Mr. John F. Fargo, on one acre, the present season, seems to stagger the faith of some of our farmers who are in the habit of til ling twice as much land as they should do. Mr. Fargo is a res pectable farmer, and we have no doubt but his statement is strictly correct. The appearance of his farm shows that he acts on the old maxim that u what is worth doing, is worth doing well.” We are told by Mr. F. that he took no ex traordinary pains with his corn this season, and he is of opinion that he m.ght have raised more if he had expended more labor upon it. W e should not be surprised if another season should show us a still larger growth from the same farm. The corn was the long eared eight rowed kind. The soil on which the corn was grown, was sandy loam had been pastured by cattle sheep, and swine, about 13 years, ploughed once last fall and once this spiing, and then ridged about, 2 1-2 feet apart, planted the last of May in hills (4 kernels in a hill) 3 1-2 feet apart, and hoed twice in the course of the season. Monroe Rep. House Moving. —We noticed, some time ago the removal of a three story brick house in New- York. The “ Salem Observer” gives the following account of a similar affair in that town : Capt. Joseph Edwards, an enter prising and industrious mechanic of this town, lately removed the asylum house, in Carpenter street, with the chimneys, furniture and fixiures, over thirty'feet by means ol a slide. The family were with in attending to their concerns, while the house was moving. We understand that neither the walls nor the brick work in the chimneys, received the slightest injury by the removal.” Nat. Int. Erie Canal Navigation. —Between the 11th and 17th Nov. the arrival of 122 boats is announced at Utica, with the lollowing cargoes—s2o7 bbls. flour 1221 do. salt, 562 do. provi'-ons, 566 do. ashes 783 bar rels flaxseed, 28 do. timothy, 6364 do. wheat, 6590 gallon s whiskey, 5500 lbs lard, 4000 do. butter, 14 tons cheese, 6 do, shorts,B do. fresh pork, 1 do. hops, 35000 lbs fresh salmon for New-York and Phila delphia markets, 33 tons furniture, 60 do. iron castings, 24 do. ovs ters and clams 768 do. merchan dise, 400 Miner’s patent pails 200 boxes glass. A singular petition has been pres ented to the Legislature of Tennessee by a man named Lamas Champit.— He acquaints the representatives of (he State, that wishing to fulfil his duties to society, he is desirous of taking to himself a helpmate. He also express es his conviction of being blessed with a numerous offspring, and therefore “ prays he may have a law passed al lowing him to erect a Billiard Table, for the support of his said intended wife and children.” Singular Marriage. — A Mr. Miller aged 40, was lately married to a Mrs. James, not quite 15, by the Rev. Mr. Richardsou. All the parties were of Harford county, Maryland. It appears that Mr. Richardson marrried the above Miller to his first wife, about five years before this last one was born ; ami she, although not 15 years of age, has now been united in the holy bonds ot matrimony no less than three times.
