New Theatre.—We understand that Mr. J.'J.
Adams, manager o! the Norfolk and Charleston Thea
tres, who declined being a candidate for our Theatre,
in consequence of the expensive repairs required by it,
and which the proprietors were unwilling to make an
appropriation for, has arranged for the erection of a
new Theatre. This building will be erected in a more
central situation thau the present one, and will be adapt-
td both to Dramatic and Equestrian exhihhions. It is
tmder contract, v;c arc further informed, to#c finished
by tho first of January next, and we presume will be
occupied at an early day thereafter by Mr. Adams’*
corps, now in Chailcston. This Company, judging
from what wo know of its members, and from the report
of the critics where it has appeared, comprises talent
of a high order, amt may be expected to afford an enter-
faiument oquul to thusc of the same description in our
larger and wealthier cities, where theatrical amuse
ments arc most extensively patronized, and expensively
conducted.

A Co. creditors—Arrest and application for benefit
r.f the Insolvent Laws.
The defendant in this case had obtained credit to the
amount ofsercral hundred dollars from Low, Taylor k
Co. for which boil process issued against him, upon
which he was arrested and confined in Jail. He ap
plied for the benefit of the Insolvent Law, and on the
day appointed for his discharge suggestions of fraud
were filed—and an issuo made up. At the trial, it ap
peared in evidence, that all his property real and per
sonal, hod been several years ago convoyed to trustees,
for the benefit of his wife and children, and, although it
appeared he had been doing a largo business, ns a ped
lar, through the State, his schodule filed, showed that
he was possessed of no property. Tho Jury re tired,
and after an absence of about SO minutes, found him
guilty of fraud. Counsel for creditors, Clark and Ni-
coll, for debtor, Mordecai Sheftall, Sen’r. We under
stand that the case will be carried up to tho Superior
Court, by writ of certiorari.

PRIVATE COJlRESpOK&EKCE.
TO T1IE EDITORS or THE sequoia*.
Milledgcville, November 15.
' I Hav* to report but little buiineis transacted by
either House since my last. In Senate, on Saturday,
14tb, a resolution waspassed instructing the Jpint Com
mittee on the Judiciary to report,' by bill or otherwise,
some mora effectual remedy for suppcksing the evils
growing out of the practice of retailing spirits, and to
remedy the facilities afforded retailers by tho act of 15th
December, 1809. / The same Committee were also re
quested to report upon the expediency of making the
Judges of the Superior Courts elective by the people
of their respective Circuits.
A resolution was laid on the table to print 250 copies
of the Penitentiary Report. Also a remonstrance from
the Medical Society of Augusta against the passage of
tho bill changing the name of the Medical Academy of
that place, and giving it additional privileges.
In the House, the business was unimportant. The
report* of the Committee on Petition*, and the debate
on a bill for the relief of a Tax Collector of one of the
upper Counties, occupied two third* of the morning—
The petitions, were all of u local nature, and without
interest to us.
An Appropriation Bill for the political year 1830 was
reported. A large number of bills went through a se
cond reading; among them were, those respecting
sailor landlords and absconding sailors—Insurance
Company agenta—and the State Arsenal at Savannah.
Notice* were given of bill*—To open a road from
Columbus to Colerain, above St. Mary’s—To amend
the road law* of Camden County—and, To amend tho
Penal Code of 1617.
A bill wav reported by Mr. Myers, to change the time
of the annual meeting of the Commissioners of Roads
of Chatham County from May to December.
Mr. Black, of Richmond, laid a resolution oti the ta
ble for the opproprintion of S10,000 to the city of Au
gusta, fur the purpose of purchasing Engine* and Hose,
and the relief of the sufferers by the late fires in that
city.
Mr. Cleveland laid on the table for a day or twn, for
consideration, a resolution requesting thu Governor to
lay before the House any information received from the
General Government, by correspondence or otherwise,
respecting the disposition of improvements and planta
tions purchased by an officer appointed by the United
States Government for that purpose, from Indians resi
ding on unlocated territory, who have determined to re
move, with those that have removedibryond the Missis
sippi ; ami if no correspondence ho* taken place, the
Governor to take proper measure* for obtaining *uch
information from the proper department respecting such
plantation*, &r. purchased and abandoned, and to lay
the same before the Legislature.
The Legislature are not yet disposed to go into the
election of State House officers. It is said that effort*
are making by tho Clark party to secure a portion of
the other party who are disposed Li conciliatory mea
sure*, iu the support of Mr. Bozeman for Secretary of
Stair, in opposition to E. Hamilton—and Mr. Ruffin,
in opposition to the present‘Surveyor General. Ofthe
result, I can say nothing. .
Mr. Gordon, of Eator.ton, is the candidate for Judge,
and Gen. Bailey, of Columbus, for Solicitor ofthe now
Circuit—when made, to be called the South Western
Circuit.
The opinions respecting the mammoth Rail Road
from Augusta to Columbus, arc not quite so sanguine
as before; for it did not occur at thu time, that if there
is such a surplus of capital floating in Hultimorc, ready
to bo invested here in this species of internal improve
ment, why it is that Mr. Rush ha* been n*nt abroad
to negotiate loans for ihu Baltimore and Ohio Rail Hoad.
Thore are, I am told, a great number of recommend
ations of persons to compose tho military family of the
Governor. The appointments will not probably be
made until after tho adjournment of tho Legislature,
There whs a mistake in publishing tho notice of the
passngr, in tho House, of tho Land Lottery bill, in that
part allowing perrons to tuke out grants in their own
names ofter n certain time. It *hould liavo been one
hundred dollars, instead uf otto dollar. However, an
other bill, which originated in tho Senate, has passed,
as I advised you, which supersedes the prut. (This
act will be found in our advertising department.]
The returns of the election of members ofthe Legis
lature in thu city of Nuw-York, have all been received.
The result is, that Messrs. Ostrander, Curtiv, Bogart,
Cargill, Livingston, Van Benren, Titus, and M‘Carthy,
•on thu Tammany Hall Ticket; Messrs. Tucker nnd
Stilwtll, of tho Alley, Townsend, or Pewter Mug Tick
et ; and Ebenezer Ford, of the Mechanics* Ticket, are
elected. Tho Pewter Mug Ticket, (so called from the
name of a tavern near Tammany Hall,) is ofthe same
parly in national and state politics with tho Tammany,
but opposed to it iu consequence of alleged informality
in the proceedings of the General Republican Nomina
ting Committee. The Mechanics’ Ticket is that which
has also been called the Fanny Wright and the Infidel
Ticket. Of this ticket, our readers have heard mucin
As a matter of curiosity, we subjoin a few of tho reso
lutions, pnisfd at the meeting by which it was nomina
ted. It is, however, proper to say, that all those who
voted for it, did not probably subsciibo to the doctrines
here advanced, nor do wo Know that those who were
nominated were pledged to “go thu whole,” iu their
support
‘Resolved, In tho opinion of this meeting, that the
first appropriat ion of tho soil of tho state to private dud
exclusive possessions, was eminently uud barbarously
unjust.
Resolved, That it wns substantially feudal in its cha
racter, inasmuch us those who received eitormous and
unequal possessions were lorthi, and those who received
litthi or nothing were iw.wofo.
Resolved, That hereditary transmission of wealth on
tho one hand, and poverty on tho other, has brought
down to the present generation all tho evils of tho feu
dal system--and that this, in our opinion, is tho primo
source of all our calamities.
Resolved, In this view of the matter, that tho grentest
knaves, impostors, and paupers of lint nqo, aro our bunk
ers—who swear they huvo promised to pay to their
debtors thirty or thirty-fivo millions of dollar* ON DE
MAND, at tlm same time that thuy have, as they also
swear, only three, four, or five millions to do it with.
R. solved, That more than ONE HUNDRED BRO-
KEN BANKS, within a few years past, admonish tho
community to destroy banks altogether.
Resolved, Tlmt more than a THOUSAND kinds of
counterfeit hunk notes, tirom five hundred dollars down
to a Btuale dollar, give double force to the admututiun.
Resolved, That exemption is privilege; and as sucbi.
tho exemption from tuxotirffi of Churches and Church
property, and the property of priest* to an amount not
exceeding fifteen humlrcd dollars, i* a direct and posi
tive robbery of the people.”
Tho Senators for the District including tho city of
New-York, arc elected probably of tho Tammany par
ty ; and the returns thus fur received from tho interior,
only shew, it is snid, tho weakness of the Anti-Masonic
party, nnd tho obsence of any serious opposition on the
part ofthe people to tho statu or general administration
Tho New-York Gazette of the 7th inst. inys—“The
North East storm of Saturday was succeeded yesterday
by a strong North West gale, of which a number of
vessels took advantage, anil proceeded to sea in hand
some style. Inward bound vessels have of course been

Milledgtville Recorder ofthe '14th inst., U mu & rare
eight to lee Sugar Gane growing In thii State, especial
ly at any distance from the aea-coaft. The article i*
now (bund almost evYry where in graater ov leva quanti
ties. A cane ofthe Otaheite *pecios, which ws receiv
ed a few days ago from Adam G. Saffold, Esq. of Mor
gan county, where it was railed, is as promising a spe
cimen as we have teen from any quarter ofthe country;
it is very large and heavy, and lias ripened nine joints,
measuring about four feet. This favorable production,
so high up the country as Morgan county, is well calcu
lated to sustain the opinion expressed by Gen. Wade
Hampton, that tho sugar crop would succeed at his res
idence in South Carolina; which is near Colombia—if
it will do well there, it ran scarcely fail with us.
In addition to the pleasing intelligence that New Or
leans is completely restored to health, and business a-
bout to resume its wonted activity in tho mighty Empo
rium ofthe West, the Mercantile Advertiser of that place
gives us a flattering account of the improvement and
embellishment of tho city by individual zeul and enter
prise. It is in substmeo this:—Besides tho paving of
several streets, (on affair of no ordinary magnitude,) the
removal of old buildings, and the filling up and gradua
ting lots, hitherto receptacles of filth, or nurseries of
foul air, there havo been added, within a short periodt
many buildings of various descriptions, alike creditable
to the public spirit of those who erected them, and taste
and judgment for which somo ore distinguished. Tho
B&tture is especially an object of increasing interest.—
It is impossible to approach that quarter, and not bo
struck with tho extraordinary progress of the latter,
which impart to it an effect almost magic. It is but a
fow years since it was reclaimed from the Mississippi,
and now exhibits the stature ofa well grown and com
pact place, with ample accommodation for tho commerce
confined to it. The stately stores and magazines along
it* front, from their contiguity to the levee and river, and
the elevation ofthe earth at that point, give it a bold and
imposing aspect, decidedly more so than any other part
ofthe city, viewed from the river. Whilst upon this
subject, it would be imjiropcr not to speak of Rampart
street. Some handsome private buildings, together with
two churches, have already been erected there, and
others are progressing.
We published yesterday a report received at New
York of tho occupation ofthe Dardanelles by Die En-
glish and French fleets. The New York papers refer-
ring to it, statolhat it is not credited by the Captain who
brought it, and the Charleston Courier mentions that
Captain Crabtree, who arrived at that port from Bre
men, whence he sailed on the 2d, and from the Die of
Wight on the 7th of October, heard nothing of it.
The editors ofthe Raleigh Register, have received an
order from Baltimore, for fivo tons of Black Lead, which
is wanted as an experiment. It is stated as probable,
that larger quantities would bo wanted. The editors call
on their country friends to mako proposals lor tho con
tract, and state as their opinion, that only a market is
wanted to cause tho mines ofNorth Carolina to be ex
tensively worked.
A lady, a member of tho,Trcmont theatre company,
Boston, is said to havo recently received intelligence
from England, thata relative has bequeathed toher
5200,0C0. This is a good thing in the way ofa benefit.
On the last day of the last month, the foundation was
laid in tho viltago of Brooklyn, of acollcgiato institution
fur young ludies.—“The young ladies ofthe Institute,
took up their march in the line, prccedexl fcy on extelUni
buhtl of music, nnd accompanied by the civil authorities,
tho Reverend Clergy, and the citizens generally.”—
This marching of young ladies through tho streets, Is a
new idea—but we live in an ago of improvement, nnd
dont wonder now-a-days at any thing.
We learn from tho Augusta Courier, that on the 1st
Nov not more than 3000 hogs had passed the Cumber
land Gap from Kentucky, when by the same period last
year, near 40,000 bad passed on their route to Virginia,
South Carolina and Georgia. Pork at Louisville, Ky.
was S3 per hundred.
Mr. Adam Stewart of Boston, lias invented an air
gun which discharge* halls with rapidity, force nnd pre

tho principles of his invention, is in tho shape ofa small
cannon, and another is enclosed in a common walking
stick.
TheProvidenee Daily Advertiser in noticing tho grow
ing prevail nee of performing tho marriage service in
churches, censures the rudeness and inducorum with
which persons otherwise noted for propriety ofbehaviotir,
demean themselves on such occasions, crowding upon
the bridal party, climbing upon the pews, kc. The edi
tor with much fooling and ample cause, exclaims“It
is really surprising bow very rude refined people can lie-
come, whmi they unco make up their minds to rost/.ve
themselves into a genteel mob.”
There has recently been in Louisville, (Ky.) a Se
cession from the Methodist Episcopal Church of about
fifty members, who have formed themselves into xvhat

Tim following treatment is said to have been highly
successful iu several eases ofhvdrophobin, in London;
“ The bitten, or rather ulcerated parts from the bites,
were kept open by means of ung. Stibium. The system
was kept free by means of aperients. The Pilultt* Hy.
drnrgyri of fivo grains, were given to the c.v«ut of from
ten to fifteen grams per diem, in order that these glands,
which in the canine species shew tlic-peculiarity of their
system, might bn for somo time affected. This plan
Wus continued, iu two cases,for (bur or five weeks, and
about the end of that time the ulcers healed very kindly,
though tho utig. Stibium had been used tho wholo time.”
Bleeding freely in the nrm, was also adopted with
this treatment in number ease—the first object of the
physician in nil, being to calm thu fears of the patients,

An application has been made to the Legisla
ture of thii state to remunerate William' A.
Archbald, a augur-refiner ofthe City of New
York, for making known a discovery he hus
made in manufacturing refined sugar from the
juice of tho cane, or to secure to him the
benefits of his discovery, by preventing othors
from using, without leave, his process of boil
ing sugars. In a letter to James Smith, Esq,
of M'lntosh county, Mr. Archbald refers to a
communication he had previously made to
Col. Whito of Florida on this interesting
subject, in which he says:
“Itransmit asample of tho sugar mnde
from these syrups,* by which you will nor*
ceivo tho immenso advantages to bo derived
from these improvements. Tho syrups had
suffered considerably from fennontion, which
is well known to bo destructive to tho granu
lating principle, notwithstanding which, and
besides having been kept more than five
weeks, they produced on article equal to
double-refined sugar, as No. 2 will evidence.
First operation—a quantity of syrup requisite
for (100) one hundred pounds ordinary brown
sugar, yielded 8l)lbs. No. 1, with a residue.
“ Same quantity, heated differently, vary
ing the igredient, produced 91 lbs. No. 2.—
From these operations, a certain quantity of
Syrups, commonly called Molasses, was ob
tained ; theso Syrups being re-boiled, you
havo at the rate of 40 per cent, of No. 3,
which alBo left a residue as Molasses, very
fine. They were in their present state at tho
end of thirteen days, which is less than half
the time required by tho mode now practis
ed in till Sugar countries. No. 1 re
quired at tho rate of about •( of a cent per
pound for ingredients—No. 2, about ono ct.
per pound—No. 3, nothing more than the re
quisite labor. Theso Sugars being dry, will
of course bo subject to no loss from transmis
sion, which now falls so heavily upon the
planter—these are calculated to command a
ready sale and a good price, being in every
respect superior to white Havana. Although
I tun not sufficiently acquainted with yonrSyr-
ups to pronounce them equal or superior to
those referred to, yet from what. I have seen
of them, I should presume satisfactoryresults
might be expected, &c. &c.”

Extract of a letter received in Charles-
ton t dated “ Vera Crux, Sept. 27.—It iH
with considerable pleasure I inform you ofthe
overthrow and expulsion of tne Spanish inva-
ding Army, under Barrudas; but I cannot
adequately express the universal joy manifest
ed on the arrival lteTe of Gen. Santa Anna,
which took place yesterday afternoon, at 5
o’clock. That bravo man was received by
the whole population with open arms. In
truth, I was, for a while, apprehensive that
they would absolutely overcome him with
their continued caresses. They boro him on
their shoulders to his own residence. When
he shewed them thoSnanish flog,captured front
the enemy, the people spit upon & otherwise
insulted it. The Spaniards are detested by
all Mexicans here. They call Gen. Santa
Anna, Napoleon the second!”
Arrival of tnr. Ponroisn.—Norfolk,
Nov. 12.—-Tho U. S. scltf. Porpoise, Lieut.
Com. Newell, arrived hero yesterday morning
from Port Mahon nnd Gibraltar, having sailed
from the former 20th Sept, and the luttor on
the 2d of October. The U. S. ship Ontario,
Capt. Stevens, sailed from Gibraltar a few
days before the arrival of the Porpoise, with
Mr. Loo, American Consul to Algiers, and
family—all well. The frigate Constellation,
Capt. Wadsworth, was daily looked for.—
The Java, Capt. Downes, was left at Mahon.
Tito U. S. ships Warren, Capt. Skinner,
and Fairfield, Capt. Parker, were making
preparation to sail from Mahon—tho former
lor the Archipelago, tho latter for Tunis, to
join tho Lexington, Capt. Hunter.
The Delaware, 74, Corn. Crane, wns also
making preparations to depart for the United
States, and would sail immediately after the
arrival ofthe Constellation—Com. Crane was
in excellent health.
Com. Creighton.—Tito editor ofthe Bos
ton Courier says—Wo have seen a letter from
a gentleman at Rio Janeiro, dated Septem
ber 4, to his friend in Boston, which gives
some details of transactions on board U. S.
frigate Hudson, which have occasioned some
public excitement against Captain Creighton.
The Captain is represented ns a strict discip
linarian ; but the management of live hundred
men is no easy task. Tho first disorders, it
seems, arose in tho gun-room early in the
cruise, and resulted in tho arrest of some of
tho oflicers ; tho trouble then spread to tho
steerage, and three midshipmen were, in con
sequence, removed to oilier ships, and a
Court Martial, composed ofthe following offi
cers, was convened on board the Vandalia
oil tho 23d of June, 1829, viz:—
Capt. Gallagher, ofthe Vandalia; Limits.
Belt, ofthe Hudson ; Farrngut, ofthe Vun-
dalia; Gardner, of do.; Ringgold, of do.—
Ilad tho Boston arrived there, as Captain
Creighton expected, tlioro would have been
no officer from his ship on tho Court. Tho
officers tried, and tho sentences, so far us
they were promulgated at Rio, were as fol
lows :—
Licuts. Thomas II. Hamcraly, sentence un
known; Thomas W. Frcelon, discharged
from the squadron, .and suspended for six
months, on furlough pay; Francis II. Ne
ville, ofMarincs, suspended for four months,
But recommended to tho clemency ofthe com
mander, who reinstated him, und ordered him
to tho Vandalia; Midshipmen William M. A.
Moore, sentence unknown ; Henry Mifflin,
discharged from the squadron, and suspen-
forsix months.
Sentences affecting tho commissions of
officers, it is understood, must be approved
by tho President; minor puishments can be
approved by the commanding officer.
The writer ofthe letter declares that the
charge, made in somo ofthe papers, of any
officer being put in irons, is wholly unfounded
and false—no severity, except suspension,
has been exercised over any officer.
Com.Fdliott arrived at Pensacola,on tho 27th
ult. in the U.S. sloop of war Peacock,and re
lieved Commodore Ridgely in tho command
ofthe WcBt India Squadron a fow days after
wards ; being exactly a period of three years,
since tho latter assumed it. During Hint time,
in the protection afforded by him to our valua
ble commorco in the Gulf of Mexico and the
West Indies, ho has discharged his duties m
the most efficient manner; in addition to
which, tho Gazetto says, that he has in every
instanco anticipated the wishes ofthe Govunt-
mnnt, so far as to have despatched ships
of war to every point whero their services
wore likely to uo required. Com. R. was to
leavo Pensacola in a few days for tho North.
