" ‘ r Cttli.lV, Augusta yesterday morning, Festivai. x of St. Andarw.—Thu Benevolent ric ty of St. Andrew yesterday celebrated the untiivcbnty oftho tutelary Saint of Scotland in the usual manner. Tho Society met at the City Hotel in tho morning, for the transaction of business, and having admitted several candidates (It membership, adjourned to 4 o’clock, P. M. At that hour tho members again assembled at tho Hotel, and soon aflcr, sat down to a dinner, prepared by Captain Lulkoek, in a very elegant and substantial Mylo. A turtle presented to the Society from Charles ton, was dressed for the occasion, nnd tho usual national dishes, with a liberal supply of tho peai-rcck, ntid other generous liquors, adorned the festive hoard, ami tempted the most fastidious appetite. A number of invited guests, among whom were Com. Ridgely and the U. S. Officers in this ci?y attended. The uncial glass, tho qumgh and tho mwtf, circulated briskly, and song and sentiment, laugh nnd jest, enlivened the oernstion til) a late hour, when aflcr supper the members retired. Tho St. Andrew’s is a charitablo as well ns national Society, and the officers, whoso names wo published a short time since, form a Committee of Charity for dis pensing relief to unfortunate Scotchmen nnd their fami lies.

He is decidedly an eminent mem ber and would make no inconsiderable figure in Con gress.

At 11 o’clok the same night, however, tho captain obliged tho eight sol. fliers to get in tho jolly-boat and proceed to the shore the best way they could, nnd he immediately made sail 1’vr the poit of destination. Vnr.tNt v Coxvr.STiON.—Nothing hns been yet de termined in this body. We learn from tho Richmond Whig of the 53d uit. that for tho preceding week, the question of the extent of suffrage was chiefly discussed, nnd has vailed forth as much warmth nnd interest, nnd quite a3 many speeches, as that of the basis of represen tation. Parties on this subject arc differently divided.— There is less of sectional feeling, although there is yet much. To extend sulfrngo somewhnl, is tho disposi tion of nearly the whole Convention, Mr. Randolph, per haps, and a few others excepted. Differcncojof opinion as to degree, and the parties may be thus classed. 1. Those who adhero to things astbrynro, and who think that the Constitution issued perfect from the hands «f George Mason, ns Minerva sprung armed Irom the brain of Jupiter. 3. Those who w ish sonic extension, but arc not willing to depart from tho land. Mr. Mon* Toe on Saturday, declared his adhesion to this sentiment, which after a former speech, occasioned some surprize. This patty is considerable in point of number, but much Jess wo believe, than a mnjoiity. 3. Those w ho go be yond land, nnd desire to give every mart a vote who being n citizen resident for a certain ttmo before lie offer* to vote, in addition pays his share of State tax. This par ty, wo arc of opinion, is the strongest, nnd w-i ro we to bazard a conjecture, it would be, tat tho Convention will Fettle down upon its opinions. 4.

CftMMcnr r. or tub Black Ska.—It is said in the Now York Courier, that speculations aro already on foot to profit by tho nponing nftho Black Sea. It is calcula ted by some of the most intelligent merchants, that the opening of the passage oftho Dardanelles will give em ployment to between two and three hundred sail of A- mcrican shipping. In a short time a stir will ho created among the ship building interest. During tho last eigh teen months little has been done in that business. A favorable movement abroad is, therefore, rccoicved with gratification. It ought to ho recollected however,by those engaged in the foreign trade, that tho navigation oftho Black Sea is extremely dangerous and stormy in winter. The New York Morning Herald nnd .Statesman, ha 8 been sold by a decretal order of the Court of Chane«-ry * TJieprincipal causeufitsdifficulties and ciiiharrnsmnits, according to tho Courier, is tho decline of tho tariff in terest in that city, ami tho consequent reduction of its patronage and support.

The order of the day was the hill front Senate, to re- peal the act reserving to the State till Ores, Mines, Mi nerals, &c. which was passed with the erasure of a su perfluous word, nnd sent hack to the Senate.

On rc-considcration of the bill to compel non-residents of Glynn county to rcsnrvey their lands, it was again negatived—Nays 71—Yeas 44. A number of local, and sumo Divorce hills were passed, Notices were given of bill®, to repeal tho net to rcgulata tho trading of Merchants, Shop-keepers, and others, so far as relates to the county of Glynn.

An information was Hied in that court against #1,000 red ouk staves, nart of tho cargo of tho American brig Rod- ncy, on tho ground that they wero imported contrary to tho navigation laws of Great Bri. lain. This brig cleared out from Washington, bound for Martinique, with a cargo of staves nuil tar, tho growth and produce oftho United States. It appeared in evidence that tho Captain oftho Rodney bail caused tbo rudder nnu other parts oftho vessel to ho injured, by his own men, and had put into Port Royal, * M .latunica, under a plea of distress. »rim linlirn in (m-iafftllR dccisic Tho Judge in giving tho decision, admitted that tho Captain of the llodnoy had doubtless intended to practice a deception, but said that, there was nn law which imposed a penal- tv had his intentions been ten times as Imd. * Tlio counsel for tho prosecut ion relied on two statutes—ono of which, did not. mention staves, nnd some other nrtieles among the goods which were to bo forfeited it brought to tlio British colonies in American vessels— nnd tlio other enacting no penalty, or rather tho penalty was put in tlio wrong place so ns not to apply to tho case of tlio Rodney. On tho following day tho cargo of tho brig Irene, consisting of staves, &c. was disclnirgcd from seizure on tho same ground. Merchants and Planters Bank of Au- ousta.—Wo aro greatly surprised to^ learn from public report, that a powerful effort is making in this community, against tins youth ful and valuable institution. It is said that ono oftho older Banks‘of tho city has passed a resolution not to receive its hills therein, and that, several Warehouse merchants, who aro Directors or Stockholders in that same Bank, have also refused to tako them. What can bo tho real cause of this, except Banking amt individual competition, wo arc entirely u: a loss to conceive; for certainly there does not appear the slightest cause for it in the public credit of the institution, or in its inter nal affairs, so fur as they aro known to the public.

A few hours previous to his disso lution, he took an affectionate leave of his af flicted family nnd friends—turning towards them, he repeated these memorable words : ” The Lord is cm my right hand and on my left; ho is my wisdom, peace mid righteous ness ; and 1 am not afraid to die.” IJow small the number oft hose, who when stretch ed upon their last pillow, when tho final sum mons is given, and the lust sands of exist ence ore rapidly leaving the glass, are able in the strength of a pure am! happy conscience to exclaim—“ I am not afraid to*die.” On the next Wednesday his remains were consigned to the tomb, attended by a very large concourse of friends ami acquaintance, who tenderly sympathized with his weeping family nnd relatives and who testified in per forming this last, sad office, their regard and esteem for liis character. A very able .and interesting discourse was delivered on tho occasion 111 the Third Prosbytorinn Church, by tlio Rev. Mr. Dickinson.

On the 38th of October last, nt her rosi- deuce in Walthourville, Liberty county, Mrs. Ei.i/.adrtk Walthour, aged 58 years.— Mrs. W. was a native of South Carolina, but for tho last 28 years an inhabitant of Liberty county. By this afflicting dispensation of Providence, a family is bereaved of a tender nnd affectionate relative, society and the church of n valuable member. Ardent in her feelings, her friendship was warm and steady, and among her numerous acquaintances there arc many who deeply deplore her loss, and who will long cherish her memory with rtiore than sisterly affection. Her knowledge of medicine hau rendered her peculiarly useful in tho community i'» which she lived, and the poor havo not only lost a kind benefactress, but a physician who administered relief “with out money and without price.” But while we weep she is rejoicing in tho Courts of Par adise, for that Saviour in whom she believed, and in whoso righteousness alone she trusted, has taken her to himself; with Him her im mortabspirit shall forever live, and thrpugl the lapse of eternal a^cs continue to expand, and become more mid more assimilated to its God. Her passage through tho dark valley was tranquil nnd undisturbed ; and the friends who witnessed her heavenly serenity of mind in tlio prospect of death, cannot but oxclaim, “Oh Death ! where was thy sting, Oh Grave! where was thy victory,” thanks be to God who gave her the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.—Communicated.

Count Diohitseh approached, Oninr Pacha betook himself to tin? Sultan’s camp near Constanti nople, stated his case, and submitted himself to the master. Tho Sultan was much aflbet- cd, ami pardoned tlio unfortunate Pacha. With rogartl to the materials for resist ance possessed by Mahmoud, this English officer says that when tho mosques wore opened nnd tlio empirn was declared to ho in danger, when tho dorvisos called upon every fifth man to tako up arms in defence of their faith, tho people listened with sullen indiffer ence, nnd that, tho Sultun could only collect round Ins person eighteen thousand men, to oppose the invaders. And oven on these he could not. rely,—treason, disaffection, open hatred nnd concealed hatred beset him on all sides; plots were formed against his lifo nnd that of his son, and the revengeful Janissaries had vowed that the family of Ql.hnmn should be no more. Such materials for protecting au empire tiro worse than nothing. N. Y.
