We are gratified to perceive by u«r MillcdgaviUo let ter, that tho Dill for the improvement of the Penitentiary ins passed in the Somite of this State, The H***''rew Synagogue, stt tho Soutli Common, was destroyed by fire yesterday'morning. Front tiie situa tion of tho building, and the state of tho wind, which was fresh from the N. E. f no injury was sustained by the neighboring houses. Wo understand that tho build ing was insured. It had not been open for two months; and tho fire is supposed to have originated from a spark communicated accidentally to tho roof. The books and robes were saved, RoMinlKO Homs.—In our report of the proceedings of Council yesterday, the ordinance relative to Hoard* ing houses, was stated to have been passed. This law makes it the duty of persons keeping Hoarding House.', iu this city, between tho 1st of March mid tho 1st of November, io report in writing to tho Chairman of the Hoard of Health, or the Ward Committee ofthat Hoard, the name of every sen faring man, boarder, or transient person, who shall be sick in his house, within twelve hours, after the occurrence of such case, under a penal ty of thirty dollars. The snmc persons are also by mm- iher section required lo give bond and security to the C hnii man of the Hoard of Health, in the sum of Fitly Dollars, as security for all expenses which may ho in curred by the death ofstich person, if not immediately removed to the Hospital on the recommendation c) tho Chairman or Ward Conimitiec ofthc Hoard of Health. Tiiis ordinance is intended principally as wc have beforo stated, to remedy tho practice sometimes exist ing in tho summer season, by which Bcnmcn arc sent from their.boarding houses to tho Hospital, in the last stage, of disease, merely for the purpose of saving their fvpcral expenses.

If this 1000 acres are luid off it is estimated that tho bpund* will reach frum the lower part of tho city only to Canai-«tre<t. The Yew-York Commercial Advertiser, the Daily Advertiser and the Courier advertise for an express ri der to convoy tho Message ofthe President from Wash ington tu Now-York in twenty.tour hour*. Virginia Convention.—On tho2fith ult. tho Convention proceeded to consider the Report of the Executive Committee, having at lust disengaged itself from that of tho Lcg- ialutivo. The mode of electing tho Guver- nor whether by- the people or by tho Legisla ture,. called forth much discussion,.- and is likely to call forth much more. The ques tion of. tho basis is passed for the present, but under the persuasion that its adjustment will be found less difficult than ivus supposed at one time. Tho Whig states, that the excitement in tho middle uistriets ofthe State, on the sub ject of representation, is rapidly subsiding. The Enquirer of the 2Gtli gives the follow ing bird’s-eye view of the progress of tho Convention at that date:— Wc cannot yet congratulate the People, on I heir Representatives being in sight of land. The apportionment of Representation is not decided.. No question is yet tulcen, which chalks out the course of the Conven tion. As soon as tho Right of Suffrage had been disposed of, lor a time, on Tuesday tho propositions for tho basis of Representa tion were taken up. The Elective Franchise it will ho recollect ed is pretty much tho sitmo with that which has been proposed by tho Resolution of the Legislative Committee. It lias undergone some modification, hut not materially affect ing its provisions for determining the money vulue ofthe Freehold, and requiring live years residence ofthe eiti’/.eus of other States its a qualification for the exercise of tho right of suffrage,‘have been striken out. Some overtu.es have been made fora com promise ns the Basis of Representation.— Mr. Scott’s plan of thu White Basis iu the II. ofD., nnd taxation in thu Senate wns re jected on Tuesday. Mr. Pleasant’s plan of tho White Basis iu tho Senate, and the fed eral basis in tho Senate, was also discussed— Mr. P’s. proposition to fill the blnk (the num ber of Senators) with 80 was rejected.. Olli er numbers were then suggested—as 32, 48, 21—and yesterday, Mr. iSayly proposed 40, Mr. Upshur from the Eastern Shore declar ed that he would not he satisfied with loss Hum 30 Senators—Mr. Baldwin (beyond the Ridge) proposed yesterday the scheme for “ a t:i ir,open,manly nnd honorable compromise,” which ho hud pressed on Thursday, upon both parlies, in the most manly and emphatic tone. His scheme coincides with Mr. P’s.— Mr. Gordon from the Middle country laid a scheme upon the table, which was founded on no particular basis, and disclaimed ull gen eralities, giving the country East ofthc Ridge n majority of 20 Delegates out of 120, and a majority of 4 Senators out of 21, beyond the country West ofthe Mountain—Mr. CJ. did not explain to the Committee the elements of his calculation; hul.ho assigned ns one ad vantage ofthe urrungeiuonlsofhis plan, that it would have limdh respect for the present, county linos. Mr. Leigh spoke of a scheme which he had in contemplation, calculated, as ho hoped, to give satisfaction. Nothing, however, is yel done with these several pro jects—-ami although wo have formed some conjecture ns to the probable issue of the matter, it seems to he premature to express it. Yesterday, the Committee proceeded to passthrough thu remaining resolutions ofthe Legislative Committee, with two exceptions. They were all adopted without any amend ment, except one, touching the viva voce mode of flection. Various attempts were i made to modify the others ; hut they resulted only in calling forth some interesting discus sion. Tins proposition lor admitting Minis ters of Religion to seats iu the Legislature, yiirticularlv give rise to au animated, hut brief, Debate. In truth, the Convention seems to lie getting tired of long, sot speeches—and business is now taking tho place of debate. COMMERCIAL. Liverpool dale.
