Howard and Mr. Alexander on the Subject of the currency, and summed up the main positions occupied by oath. Our readers are al ready aware that on some of the points touched ■•upon In each of these resolutions, we differ with •both the gentlemen who introduced them. The best reflections which we hiive been enabled to give this intricate and complex question, have led our mind to the decision that the safest and best plan, ■* ketk for the-people and the Government, of managing the financial affairs of the Union, and preserving a National currency, is through the agency of a National Bank, “which” in the lan guage of Air. Calhoun, in 1894, “ in some shape or form and under some authority seems indisptn sihle.” In coming to that conclusion, we have been influenced by no hope of reward, no pros pect of personal promotion or pecuniary benefit; for it brings us into collision of opinion with many of our best personal friends, and a large portion of the State Rights’ parly, under whose banner we have struggled through evil as well as good report, “in .weal and in woe,” if no. with equal ability, at least with a zeal as unabated, a devotion as uncompromising, and a firmness as unflinching, as any man over whom that flag ever waved its proud and spotless folds. AVc have been wi/h that party and of that party, when overwhelming defeat seemed to consign it to per petual inferiority, and wc forsook it not. We have toiled with it in.the conflict, step by step anjjl through struggle after struggle, until the sky oT its triumph is unobscured by a single cloud, and we arc with it still Victory and defeat have alike brought to us no rewards for the past. we expert none, wc desire none for the future. Should that party: in the Union, w ith whom we agree upon the currency questions ever rise to power, we have nothing to hope or expect from its hands—we cannot hope or expect that in the distribution of the “ spoils,” the light of the palace would ever shine upon the humble station we occupy. Following then, no sinister views in coming to the conclusion at which we have long since arrived, that a National Bank is trot only constitutional, but highly necessary and expedient, to further the best interests of the people of every section of the Union, and influenced alone by the ( of our judgment as formed from the ex- j jSSWMgx of the part, while wc shall independent- I ° Ur own °ptnions, wc political into * wpoo the subject of the currency. a singular and very unsettled state of public opinion upon the question. Each mem ber seems to have his own peculiar notions —his own peculiar and favorite project, and scarcely any two agree upon some main and material points. The issue of Treasury notes is the “ Philosopher’s stone” of Col. Howard’s plan, while it is denounced in the most unmeasured language by Mr. Alexander. Col. H. is in favor of receiving the hills of specie paying hanks, while Mr. A. is silent upon that point, as if afraid lo touch it. They all agree upon the question of dispensing with the agency of a Bank or Banks in the collection, keeping and disbursement of the public funds, hut disagree among themselves as to i chat should I>c done. In this Babel con fusion of opinions among the friends of “deliver mice and liberty,” we think wc see the unerring indication of a return to a sound and healthy state of public sentiment, and a return to the will-tried system of a National Bank as the de. jrository nf ibo -public funds, and to give us a National currency worthy of our country and its institutions. The people w ill soon become tired of this multiplicity of tinkering projects, which promise neither more safety for the public reve nues, nor a better currency for the country. The ,Sub-Trcasufry has now been under discussion for about eighteen months, and its friends cannot define what arc to be its prominent features and characteristics. It is yet a political nondescript, ; and wc think likely to remain so. Alorc anon. Legislative Proceedings. The proceedings of our Legislature come to us through the Millcdgeville papers in such shape as renders it almost impossible to give our readers a correct idea of what is done or doing. The last Southern Recorder, for instance, contains four closely printed columns of “bills introduced,” “bills read tire first time,” “bills passed,” and “hills lost,” being in many instances a repetition .of the same things over for both Houses. .Now it is out of the question for us to publish aH this as wo find it, and therefore give the following brief statement of what has been done. Bills passed by both Houses. To compensate persons who took the census. To change the time of holding Bibb Superior Court. Bills passed in Senate only. To incorporate the Georgia Steam Packet Company. To alter the made of computing time in cer tain eases. To provide for the authentication of Stats Scrip on Certificates of. State Debt, and to punish those who may conterfeit or fraudulently use the same. Bills passed the House only.

It ir with no ordinary pleasure that we announce r the arrival of the steam ship Liverpool, Capt. Fay , rcr, from Liverpool, last from Cork. , The Liverpool look Iter departure on the 20th, but after making 950 miles, against.extremely rough weather and high seas, sustaining, howev er, little damages, she put hack on the 2Cth, on account of the great consumption of coal, which created what apjiears to have been a just appre , hension that her stock might fail her if her voy agb was then continued.—The engines,'• it would seem, had not been sufficiently tried before start • iug. The result was that she put into Cork on tire eighth day. There she remained a week, taking in full sup-’ plies, and started again on Tuesday, the 6th hist. She arrived ofi'Fire Island yesterday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, where she remained for several hours, . in consequence of the fog. - She reached this city at 9 o’clock this morning, and amhored in the East river, a little above the wharf appropriated for the use of tbs Great Western. As soon as it was afaiidtlfiCed that th?" Live rpool wascotning up the river, hundreds wore to be seen wending their way to the wharves, and we doubt whether more people were assembled on the occasion of the arrival ol the Great Western. The docks, with the vessels lying at them, in the neigh borhood of Pike and Rutgers streets, were crowd ed this morning with those who were anxious to obtain a sight of this noble steamer. In external appearance the Liverpool docs not differ much from the Great Western, with the ex ception that she has two smoke pipes, that her sides are not relieved by. the white streak of the latter, and that she has only three masts. We took a hasty view ofher cabin this morning, and have only time to say that it is very neatly furnish ed. We are indebted to our esteemed friend B. B. Thatcher Esq. for London papers tothe 4th of No vember inclusive. Wc are also indebted tothe consignees Alcssrs. Abraham Bell & Co. for Dublin papers to the 3d of November and for London of the latest dates. | The Western Luminary says that the rumors j of divisions in the cabinet were true. That Lord | Glcnelg resigned, and his resignation was accept- ! cd ; that I.ord Spencer and the Duke of Rich- I raond were successively offered the Colonial sec- i retary’s portfolio, but both declined it ; and that as yet no successor to Lord Glenelg had been j found. The London Morning Herald contradicts the report that the Queen had written an autograph letter requesting Lord Durham to remain in Can- j ada. It says there was no foundation whatever for the report. It has been ascertained that the steamboat ‘Northern Yacht is lost. She was seen to sink, and it is supposed that all on hoard perished twenty two in number. It is rumored that the Marquis cf Normaiby is to be the governor of Canada. A terrible explosion had taken place in a coal pit at Lowca, near Whitehaven, by which forty of the workmen were killed. Two men and two boys were blown out of the mouth of the pit, like 1 bullets from a gun. Three of them were not killed, although severely wounded, but the fourth ’ fell hack again down the shaft, and was dashed to pieces.—Thirty four of the men, who were at the bottom, were found crushed together in a 1 mass, horribly disfigured. ; The Storm in England. -b- J ■ --- , . . _ '. VI _ . c jj coast of England with fearful violence. In Lon- 'q don, rain fell without intermission until midnight, ( when the wind increased to a furious gale, which at 2 o'clock in the morning became a hurricane, ] and raged for four hours with dreadful fury. Great numbers of chimnios were Mown down— , the leaden coverings of roofs were stripped oil* and rolled up like paper—some roofs gave way under , the weight of chiinnies falling on them—and in the outskirts of the city many small tenements were prostrated. ‘Groat numbers of trees were torn up by the roots, and Hyde Park was com- , plctely strewed with limbs and branches. On the Great Western rail-way four of the cars , were driven along the road by tSie force of the wind, two of which did not stop until they had traversed 25 miles. Among the trees Mown down in the storm was the famous “ Herne the hunter's oak,** in Wind sor Park, immortalized by Shakespeare. The packet ship ShelTi dd was to sail on the 3d from Liverpool, with u number of the Liverpool's passengers, London Citt, Nov. 3.—There has been rather more activity in the British stock maikrt since our last, and money stock has been in more request, while the commissioners for the savings banks continue their daily purchases; these com bined circumstances have therefore given m*re tone to the funds, and in most instances the nota tions have slightly improved. Money continues tolerably easy, and, although the much increased advance in the price of wheat hcie will most probably cause foreign wheats and other grain to be imported to some considerable extent at a reduced scale of duty, and thus indi rectly turn the exchanges upon the continent against this country, the continued importation of bullion from the United States \yill, to a consid erable degree, countervail these operations; for wc find that the Wellington and Washington have brought to this country about $260,000 in specie, chiefly in gold, whilst the Emerald, for Havre has brought $200,000. From the Cork Constitution cf Xsv. 2. The Liverpool Steamer. This vessel still remains at Cove. After her arrival on Monday, an express was despatched to the agent. From the violence of the weather, her paddle-boxes received same injury, and a boat, her jibboom, and her bulwarks were carried away. The damage, however, was trilling, and was speedi ly repaired. She had been Out 16 days, and had consumed, we understand, little less than 400 tons of coal. As site had but about 170 tons re maining, there was no alternative but to turn back and run for Cove. This she did on the 27th. She was then in long. 21 deg. 50 min., and lat. 46 deg. The unusual quantity of fuel consumed is attributable, wc believe, to the improved prin ciple on which her machinery is constructed, and to the high degree of pressure ov which it was requisite to keep the steam iu order to enable her to make head against the violence of, wc may say, thfi storm, with which she had to contend during the whole ofher progress (about 000 miles) to the Westward. Escape Dodge from Quebec. The escape of the Canadian “Patriots,” Theller and Dodge fro iff the impregnable fortress ol Que bec, and subsequently from the hot pursuit which was kept up after them, has excited the wonder oi alt who are acquainted with the strength of the fortress in question. Both of them arc now in the city of New York, an! the former has pub lished in Mackenzie's Gazette the following ac count of the manner in which the escape was ef fected : We arrived in Quebec on Sunday the tenth of June, an 1 w *re received at the wharf by a strong guard of the Ist rerrimeut of Grenadier Guards, Tier Majesty’s II iiisehald Troops, and escorted by them to the citadel, amid the groans and hisses and execrations of a Tory mob. prepared fir the occasion *, spat upon, reviled and tormented by them in every wav their ingenuity rapid invent, they followed us all the way, until the gates of t the us out from them —from their abus e |of us and of our country. We were confined i \ ame ofMixe Lamb -proof,- coseiguted rooms, that • served as the prison lor the military prisoners. It wss furnished as “sm ordinary prison. ln>u bed steads, iron staples, on which was placed boards for a table and tile ordinary benches—it was about twelve Jfeif broad and fifty feeL deep—two windows ill the front, strongly barrtd with non—and in the back part 'were small loopholes Tor musketry—both i front and hi the rear wefe placed fences of twelve feet high-, inside of which was stationed a seutiarf who coaid watch all dur inotiens. Another sentinel wasplaced the fence, two others were plilceddd.the one on the Mfp&i Ojf for off* |K*‘der. ? We Lad some trouble at first orcT some I Utile hardship respecting provision*, but Owing to the industry' and zeal oflifce Town Major Fraser, and the representations of this good hearted old man, wa were very liberally supplied, viz:—wc had no complaints to make. yVe lived in daily expectations of hearing something respecting our. fate, but when two months had passed and nothing had taken place, we began lo look around to see what could be done in the way of making our es cape. Many were the plans proposed, but at last it was decided that the most .dangerous one of es caping by the front window and climbing the fence in the presence of one sentinel and in the view of th<i other, was the most probable way and one that would be attended with more likelihood of succcs*';. besides the very * boldness of the measure would prevent suspicion ever entering the mind ofgthc guard. It was then resolved, that we would try and procure some implements to cut one of the bars of the window, and taking advantage of the first dark and stormy night when the sentinels at -our doors as well as those on the different other parts which we must unavoidably pass, were by the rain obliged to keep in their boxes, we would venture out, get to the walls and try our fortune in getting oyer them. Wew alkod out each day for half an hour, three at a time, guarded by six soldiers with fixed bay onets, and as we generally stopped for sometime on the saluting batteries, we saw occasionally a friend, so one of whom was slipped a paper "ex plaining our plan, and begging his co-operation, by supplying us with fools, and in directing a place where they might be laid. The next day we received the tools required, wrapped up in one of your Gazettes with a line, saying that if we could accomplish the plan proposed, we need give ourselves no trouble alter we would get out, as a friend would, when we gave the signal of being ready, be v at a certain spot pointed out, to guide us to a place ot safety. This was tidv.cn from the place and secreted on my person, while the ser geant’s and corporal's attention, who were standing beside us, was occupied by the other two who were out with me. We began the work with a dour and every anticipation of succc-s, although to look at the matter now calmly, I wonder how we possibly ] could have escaped detection, saw oil a bar of iron | without the knowledge of the guard, and he j within a few feet of us.—Yet such is the fact. I Colonel Dodge, w ith one of the men. kept at work j at the one window, while lat the other, was cx | erting my talent in keeping the sentinel in con versation. Occasionally it would squeak rather | hard, and I could hear it plain enough, but the men would walk about, would du:fce and sing, &c., and til us drowned the sound wc did not wish to have heard. A tile was procured, and as wc had in the room the boy who hud acted as lifer on board the “Schooner Ann” his noisy services were frequently in requisition. At this rate we continued, with occasional interruptions from some sulky fellow who would be put on guard, ho would not enter willingly into conversation, or some time some more smart than others whom we. thought we could not so easily hoodwink. In deed it was rather a hard business for me to find out the calibre ot the mind of those moving blocks, that wc might lead him to the conversa tion that would suit him best. How to discern the difference between living here and in London -London porter—Barclay ale—beef, &c., wore always the general topics cn which they all could converse. In the course of a fortnight the sighal was given to our friend that all was ready for the first dark and rainy night, which we waited for with the greatest anxiety, In the meantime I had iicard that a merchant vessel catieu the Royal Ade aide, had been chartered to take me there, and that she would sail in a few days. The Captain ol the vessel was brought to see me by the new Town Major (for Major Fraser had been displaced) and he informed me that he had not got all his cargo, nor would he be ready to sail for some time. I found out where his ves sel lay, and each day when we went out, we used to look well at the vessel and think when she would he ready—then at the clouds, and wonder if the fair weather was always to last. A watch was regularly kept every night looking out for the slightest appearance oi rain; at last, when we were almost worn out witii watching, the good time seemed to have come. On Monday night the 15th October, about seven o’clock, it rained hard, and the night was dark; wc began to make our preparations. Colonel Dodge and I had our cloaks rolled up. and each taking a change of linen and what other little necessaries he wanted, ma le ready for the start; three out of tHo seven of the men cont.uued with us volunteering to go with us and share our fate; the rest remained. Although the bar had been sawed through, and had been so for upwards of six weeks, yet it took up a great deal of time to pry it oil* and to work the lower part out of the socket in which it was placed, so that wc were not ready until eleven o'clock. We then gave the sentry a draught of porter, in which was put a small ouantiiif nf laudanum, lest our going out might disturb his slumbers, and the rain having ceased, and he began to get stupified with the effects of the opium, tottered about; and the bar being then elf, we had no alternative —go wc must; and calling the sentry to me I told him ihst the little drop of porter I had taken had made me feel stupified and cold and that I should try a little brandy, wc had got a small bottle for the occasion) so wc drank together—l got him to stand near me leaning against the bars to protect me, as I was undressed, from the cold. By this time I had got his back turned to the . window, and kept him talking and drinking until Co!. Dodge and others went out and over the fence. I got one of the men who remained to take my place at the sentinels side, who did not perceive the change, while I followed my com rades ; the place which we passed through was rather tight for me, and I had to crawl through without coat or vest. My coakwhcn climbing the fence, I carried in my teeth. I got down on-the other side quite easy, owing to sheets wl*dKr#?tf, ' Diede bars', and whiclTaidcd us much in our descent. Noiseless we entitled behind a small cook house about fifteen paces from our rodai, and scarce had we got there when we heard the relief guard pass wilbin a few feet of us. We all, however, crouched low, and til® passed without discerning us. Wc were obliged to remain until they had and I had seen with pleasure my boon companion, the last file marching, although with to wards the guard house. gain we moved for wards on our hands and knees, 'one after the other, when wc were again near being discover ed by the noise made by one of our number which attracted the attention of the sentinel on the wall above our room. On hearing the noise he moved down towards us—we all lay flat on the ground, after he had come within a few paces lie turned round and marched back to fils post. Again we moved forward end passed the store houses, behind which is another* sentinel, and had pissed opposite the sentinel at the magazine and were in the parade ground, when we were alarmed by the noise of a sold er running from, it appeared, our lav? room across the square to- oiTirer’s quarters—he passed near us. but did not perceive ns. Mr. Dodge enquired ol me what I thought it meant, and I, more to cn courage the mm. than from any belief I had in what I said, answered that. I supposed some ol them were sick, and that he was probably going to the Doctor’s quarters, where il seems, be did go. Forward we moved again, bet Parker was stumbling I mentioned before, (for wfrat-reason we know not) broke cut of the line and marched in another direction. The noise he made (and ■it was not a little) attracted the attention of the sentries placed on each lldc of us, and h\ ‘ whe nwc were immediately challenged, but a: we made no answer, and as they could but sec t c*qr form.: :i Iy, Ihi t without any noise* %l placcd.orsc of the 4; s* tinei to the alai i if *wc t litade the tour to asecitj i> if our tpeKßmpl at s his. poet.

I took .the lead, letting my* i self over the wall. I hung, to my hands for an ■ instant—then let go-vGodsNvliat a shock! I thought every bone in mj jldy was broken to pieces. Culver followed ujc— then Hull. I called on Mr. Dodge, to thr<*g down the piece of rope he had cut off as we sti had fifteen feet to go dawn. He did firijpwed himself _Wo lay -for a Iwia. all more or less injured. my right ancle joint, and splintered tficHovvcr part of one of the bones of my leg. Culver, I believe, dislocated his ancle, or otherwise badly injured his foot. Hull and Dodge hurt, but not so bad as we were. One of the icp held on by the piece of rope, and I went down the second de scent followed by the other two, while the fourth let himself drop and was ought by Mr. Dodge, who, by tbat means, sprained his wrist. Wc then clambered up the precipice to the glacis, and descended the turn stile into the street. As seeing so many persons with bundles in their hands might look suspicious, if wc met any us the prowling hands of pdice, we- left the two men in the Governor’s Garden with the bundles to remain there quiet until ;tc would go and find out some French person who would direct us to where one ol our friends resided, and on no account to stir from where we placed them until one of us returned, or sent some one ia bring them to us.— We passed cn through the streets without meet ing any one whom wc could venture to ask. One discovered who wc were partly by guess, and when I perceived that he eid, 1 made a virtue of necessity, and informed him who 1 was. He told me he was a magistrate but as I had been so frank with him, and thinking (I supposed from Ins looks) that he might not escape scatheless in a contest with us. he told us to go our ways, and pledged Ills word ol honor that, as wc confided in him. he would give no alann. A young gentle man who accompanied him, pledged himself also. Wc left him—passed the sentinel at SSir John Colbo: lie’s door who challenged us. We advanc ed I oldlv, and he, mistaking us from our caps and cloaks lo be some of his own officers, carried arms to us as we passed. Not relying implicitly on the promise given us by the Canadian tory-gentleman. we changed our course, and a few moment’s walk brought us to one of the gates of tlje-city, (I believe Hope Gate.) We passed through'and got into the Lower Town, where, after a little wandering about, wc met with a poor Canadian who. at that hour of the night, was returning from his work, he carried a lantern with him. I accosted him. and entered with him into a shed, wherp he laid his tools. I had no trouble to prevail on him to take me to our friends. He said he would willingly risk his life in the serv^ftofjjhqflg.ihr his .poor of ft' gentleman in Si. Rocks, who received Us 'with kindness, and went himself along with ML D. to bring the hoys, but before they got to the £ates of the town, the alarm of our escape had been given and all were shut, and no person Could get either out or in until daylight—soldiers and police were stationed at the gates and scouring the streets in all directions. General McDonnell and staff as well as all the other military officers, were rushing through the streets, and lanes like mad mci>*-spurring their charger ;, and as the poor man, v&o had got in side, said, knocking the lire from mi? stones of the* streets with the heels of their horfc, and swear ing said he, just like soldiers. * The next morning the two poor fellows, who were stiffened and cold, crept out of their hiding places, and crawled into a tavern, where they had not been long before they were discovered and taken, while wc were concealed by our friends, and the most active search was made for us, arid a reward by the officers of the guards and by Lord Durham, 53,000, was offered lor our apprehen sion ; but they might have saved themselves the trouble, for those with whom wc We-e, and many who knew our plan of conccrimcqt, although iu the poorer and low er walks of life, could not be bought. Wc suffered of course much by the plans and manner in which we were hidden, for the first week, and so hot was the pursuit, that one night between eight o’clock in the evening, and one in the morning, Mr. D.—for wc were I separated for the first two days—had to change his quarters live limes, and when the pursuit was the keenest—police and soldiers taking up every j one that was either short or tail—or who wore glasses, or who were Mind—opening the coffins of the dead—examining all the old women the y | met with—wc passed through the streets disguised j in as simple a manner as possible, and eluded their i search.

Wc could sec the placards cn the houses giving a description of our persons and offering the re- ' ward, and hear every clay the numerousgepOrt# i that were circulated concerning us. how vve were seen at some place, and how wc were lying sick at another across the fines. &c. <ke.
