Brigadier General Harden has forwarded to the Go vernor his resignation os Commander of the first Bri gade, first Division, Georgia Militia. 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.

Kamuel Goldsmith, debtor, at the suit of Low, Taylor 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. Gazetteer ov tjir State or Groce t a.—Wo Have looked into a work under this title, by tho Rev. Adiel Sherwood, with which we aro much pleased. A former edition of the work was printed by the same au thor ; but the present is much improved in tho character «f its content*, it* typographical execution, and tho Variety of the subjects introduced. Iu addition to the matter usually found in works of this description, it contains a great number of vulimhlo statistical tables. It also includes biographical sketches of the individuals in honor of whom the nuvernl counties of this state have been named, ami many other articles of interest, for which wo must direct the attention of thu reader to the table of contents below. Indeed, ns a work of rofor- euro, we know of noun which in so small a compass contains more of immediate interest to the re wlcr. It is embellished with a map of the state from the latest authorities, and n plan of tho cnpit.it of the state. The several items iu the woik are arranged unJer three Ii ids:— I.

A meeting has been held of the voters ofthe Borough rJNorfolk, Virginia, at which, resolutions were passed requesting General Robert Taylor, recently resigned, to rctnunohi* place in thn convention, and also requesting IMr. Grig*by (appointed in Gen. T’h place,) to rosign. Tho meeting previously resolved that the instructions eimt by *omoof the Freeholders and Voters of that Dis trict to their Delegates in the Convention, (which were tbocaiuo of Gen.

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.

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 cision. One of the implements to which he has applied 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 is called the Methodist Reformed Church. 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, The following advertisement appears in a Philadel phia paper. The rogue or rognos engaged in this af fair must he incorrigible if they do not accept the pro position ofthe advertiser, especially as thoy aro ‘per. milted to settle their account with one who may bo com sidured a particular friend Pick Pockets.—On Friday evening, tho Cth inst. as I was crowding my way into the pit of tho Arch Street Theatre, to see tlm popular Mr. Forrest, ns King Lear, somo one, probably through necessity, took from my cout pocket, a pocket-book ; whoever it was will please to be so kind as to return tho papers, among which were a lottery ticket, number 9t. entitled to one chanco to draw a sail boat.

MOORE, No. 0221-2 Market Street. .Ikuemiah Smith.—We perceive by tho last Camden Joiiniul, that sentence of death is to be lignin pitsscd on this unfortunate old man. It will bo recollected that he was some years since convicted of a capital offenco and pardoned, on condition of bis leaving tho State and not returning. Ho however aid re turn, nil or having moved to North Carolina, and during Inst uummor he xvoh arrested and lodged in juil—timnriUp Motmtoncer, Scoml—Vrm the Southern Retordef.-~ 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.” * Ten puncheons procured by him from N. Orleans. 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. Thn Peacock htiB a suit of cotton sails—we learn from an officer on Itonrd that they have answered ee far, very well. COMMERCIAL!.
