DEC. 10. The proceeding* or the Georgia Bible Society were received at too late an hour last night for insertion this rooming, but shall have a place in our next. The Fair yesterday eras truly splendid and well conduc ted. The beauty and variety of tho articles offered were only excelled by tho appearance of the fair vendors whoso labor produced them* Indeed jhoro was no withstand ing the inducements oflerod to twloee© tho puwo-M ring* «von of tho most penurious. The room, notwithstand ing showers of rain in the morning, was filled until late At night, with an immense crowd of gay spectators tnd purchasers, among whom tho ladies appeared to JUve arrayed themselves in all their charms for the Occasion. Tho scene was one of almost Eastern mag nificence, and few led it without gratification qnd delight. Tho receipts arc estimated at about £3,500. From New-Yon*.—By tho ship Macon, Captain Porter, arrived yesterday, wo received tho New-York papers up to Wednesday last, inclusive. They announce tho receipt of papers by the packet Manchester from Liverpool of tho 2d ult. and London ru tho 1st, hut slate that they contain no new*. The Manchester sailed from Liverpool on the 3d November, hut furnishes no later commercial intelligence than we Have heretofore published. Tho schr. Exact, Nichols, arrived at New-York on the 8th inst, from Smyrna, having been absent blit four months and four day.*, during which sho discharged and took in cargoes both at Smyrna and Malta. Cupt. N. left Smyrna on tho 12th October, and states that tho Russian fleet was not permitted to proceed up tho har bor to that place, The Admiral had proceeded up in his barge, and landed. Intelligence from Curthagena Is received to the 13th tilt. It i? stated, that tho rebellion which broke out in Antioqua had boon subdued. Iq an engagement which fook place with tho government troops sent against thu rebels, the leader of the insurrection, Gen. Cordova, 'vtrts killed, with 200 of his troop*. Gen. Harrison arrived at Carlhagcn* on the 10th, from Bogota,and was to embark for the United States in jhc Notches sloop of war, which was dully expected at dial place. The British Consul General to Colombia, Mr. Hen- «h fson, and tho Muxican Consul, Col. Torrens, were ordered to Jeava Colombia in consequence of being im plicated in Cordova’s conspiracy. It was supposed nf- t^r Cordova's death was known, that these functionaries would ho allowed to remain in the country. Letters from Lagtiayra received at Philadelphia, state shut it is the Intention of the provinco of Venezuela over which Paez presides, to declare itself independent of Colombia. Baron Krudoncr, Htwrian Minister, left New-York on tho 7th instant, for Washington. Poht of Havre,—The following rommcreial regula tions we translate from the Journal tin Havre :— In order to meet the expenses of the Works in tho har bor of Havre, tho government has been induced to rai«o ihc Basins duty on all vessels entering into the port, 4jpOQ t> |lll>pvil|u.»H, Ul l.iil.H «..,><.IKIKV UiVIIW can developc tho importance. All foreign vessels coming info Havre, will pay a duty «f2I>. and 50 centimes per ton. Thu tonnago duly is, tv hh regard to foreign vessels, blended with tho Basin* duty, which waa, previous to the existence of the new tariff of tho port, enacted separately from them. This addition of tax Increases but Gtfic tho duty which was, paid before. American♦nd Brazilian vo sals, which heretofore’ were tho objects.of a special enactment, that fixed their f onnago duty at Cfr. per tan, will now pay tho Basin’s riuty ofSf.and 50c—but this is mado up pariiully to tljpm In a diminution on the tonnage duty, so that the increase will be but very trilling. French vessels employed in extensive coastwise gjjadc, have to bear an increase ol from 30 to 75 centimes g!cr ton, which increase, on account of the small profits derived from (his navigation, may be considered rather Exorbitant. IVench vessels in the small coastwise trade, will pay a duty of30 centimes, in lieu of 15, as heretofore. But the most strange of all these new enactments, is that which relates, to vessels that may only call in, which the tariff considers in no other light than those that are loading or discharging in the Basin. Were a vessel to be in tho port 20 hours, or even onchour,shc must pay the Basins duty for one year—Ilcnco there is no longer to be a proportionate duly for any vessel in the port of Havre, with regard to the time she might remain. But further, if a vessel sa'ds and is compelled to return into port, were it but for a few hours after her departure, she mast pay n second time, tho Basins duty, and so on without regard to the number of times she might he compelled to return. This measure, which must be ctnsidcrcd rigorous, even before its effects can be expe rienced, will cuu*o all vessels departing from that port to avoid returning. Ports on tho English coast, win re cgponses areligh’cr titan the Basins duty, will derive the benefits of the n:w tariff. Tile following is trai slated from tin* same paper i— Administration of crimwu’.jmticc in France.—In 1828, tho Cours d‘Assizes passed upon 0,396 indictments ;— 5,721 were peremptory, and G75 found for contempt of Court. Of these, 2,845 were acquitted ; and 4,551 condemned, that is to say To the punishment of death 114 Perpetual labor, 269 Hard labor for given periods of time 1,142 Solitary confinement, 1,223 The Iron collar (wherewith tho malefactor is fixed to tho post,) 11 Banishment, | Mild punishments, 1,750 Youths under 1C years of age, sentenced xo bo kept a certain period of time in a house of correction, 5.1 Of ihc 114 capitally convicted, 75 worn executed, otic was killed in prison, and tho remainder were par dorjed. The French and English papers Btnfe, (according to the Journal du Havre,) that tho Emperor Nicholas has been heard to declare that he never would bo brought fo acknowledge the usurper Don Miguel. Mail Robbeuv.—About three o’clock on the mor ning of the fith instant, at tho first gate, on the Ridge Turnpike Road, near Philadelphia, tho Reading Mail stage was stopped by threo armed men, and the passen ger*, 10 in number, were taken out one by one, tied find robbed of their watches and about 200 dollars— Thu mail was also cut open and robbed of its contents. A reward of 500 dollars 1ms been offered by Mr. lice- gide, tho agent of tho Genera) Pont Office, for tho sp< prehension and conviction of the robbers. Bad Roads—Wo learn from the Albany Daily Ad vertiser, that the roads between Buffuto and Catarau- gui Crock are in such a bad atate, that it is impossible for horses to drag the stage coaches along, and they were therefore taken off and two yoke qfoxrn put in their places. The male passengers were also obliged (o work their passage. C ut or RpwtANo Sttm-soN,—At the, lute session of th« ElBngham Superior Court on the 14th inst.-» question of aomu interest and novelty «M raised In this cuse. When the Solicitor General was about to submit thu imlavtiiicnl «j;unit the defendant*,for fitlso Imprison- meat, to thu Grand Jusy, a challenge to the array was mado by thair counsel, upon lha ground that the Court was not disorganized, no vonire for the summoning of a jury having issued upon the death of Judge Davies, utul adiseontinuanou of tho former pannd having taken place by his decease, tho Court cmili) not at the present Term, proceed to business. • After considerable discus sion, it was decided by JudgqLaw, that the Legislature had by tho act of 1805, anticipated and provided for the contingency which was tho ground of objection, and that under that law, thu Court was duly organized. No bu siness of importance occurred. The Grand Jury found a true bill, and tho 21st of next month is fixed for tho trio). W rt published a short time ago a classification of the members of tho Ilouso of Representatives of this state. The following is a similar exhibit of tho members of tho 6cnatc: — Native* of Occupation*.

Acfcnunts howe ver, to tho 10ih of October, one month after tho gale, have been renewed at New-York from Tumpico, and Vera Cruz to tho 23d or 24th of that month, which do not mention her return to that port. The Pensacola Gazette, up to the 23th ult. does not mention a word nhoitt her—so that well founJed apprehensions may be entertained fi r safety. A Bill to extend tho jurisdiction of Alabnma over tho Creek, Cherokee, and Chickasaw Indians,—as also a resolution requesting the removal of Col. Ciowullfirom his Agency, are before thu Legislature of that State. The British Army at the present moment, consists of 140,000 elfoctivo invti, of whom 7,5150 ore officers, that is to say— G FieM Marshal-*, 788 Lieutenant Colonels, 110 General-*, 820 Major.*, 250 Lieutenant Generals, 1 ffifl Captains, 2-10 Major Generals, 2,372 Lieutenants, 210 Colonel.*, 1,230 Cornets & Ensign?. It would appear that there is no such officer known to the Poaco *»*tnh‘i«hinrnl. as a Brigadier General—an J, ■ >.•< ii.orn nre. comparatively sjicaRmg, so tew Colonels enumerated, is owing to tho fact, that all Generals are •uch,«««mtttcr of course—tho command of a regiment, whether nominal or teat,-carrying with itgxhddcrablo pay, emolumenr, and patronage. A correspondent of the New-York Morning Herald states that West’s first historical painting, tho " Drath of .Socrates,'* is in tho pos lossion of John Jos. Henry, residing near Easton, Pq. It is said, that .Sir Walter Scott, Sir James M'fntosh and Thomas Moore (the Poet) have united in w riting a popular history of tlm British Isles. The J.ondon Sun informs us, that tlm first volvmo was to liavo Lem ready for publication, by tho first of last month- The Columbus Enquirer, of this State, appears in an entire new dress, and by its appearance ns well ns by the manner in which it is conducted, deserves public patron age. Columbus is one of those towns which in this conntry oxeite the wonder of foreigners, by thnir almost magir.nl growth, and must from its situation become a place of importance. [Tho following ports of our Corrosspon- dent's letter, wo wore obliged to omit yester day:] A bill was reported instanter, to authorize Inferior Courts, Hitting for ordinary purposes, to order the stile of any slave or slaves belong ing the estates of testators, intestates or wards. The bill to repcnl so much oftbo 10th scc,- tion of tho act to alter and amend the several Judiciary nets now in force in this State, so far ns relates to Justices Courts as authorizes Justices of tho Peace to discharge any person nr persons brought before them, charged with any offence against tho Stute, with cost, was passed, yens (K), nays 37. The bill to cause tho right of property levi ed on, and claimod hy third persons, not a party in tho execution, to bo tried and deter mined in thu county whore tho claimant re sides, in ease said claimants are in possession of tho property at the time of the levy, was rejected. Below nre the provision of Mr. Turner (of Putnam’s) bill to amend the Law of Contempt, passed on Monday. See. 1 prevents any Court, on account of any contempt,’ from imposing a greater fine than 8*30, or any imprisonment exceeding two days, without trial by special jury. See. 2. No Judge, for any contempt offer ed him, shall inflict a fine over 810, or impri sonment exceeding 24 hours, without the in tervention of a special jury. Any Judge vio lating this to be deemed guilty of a misde meanor, and subject to the action of the party injured. Sec. 4. The foregoing restrictions not to affect eases under Militia Laws, or contempts where witnesses or others refuse to answer. Sec. 5. Such fines, imprisonments, and punishments, may, on application, bu remit ted hy tho Executive Department. Of the importance and responsibility of this high office, it is unnecessary to speak. It has justly been.regarded, both in relation to its elevation and the nature and extent of its du ties ns one of the most delicate and responsi ble trusts tinder tho Government! Indeed, the great increase of legislative business, both of a public and private nature, (occupying, ns it duos, so large a portion of the year,) the number of this House, and tho habit of ani mated, protracted, and frequent debate, have, of late, tended very much to render the duties of the Chair peculiarly arduous to tho indi vidual who fills it, and of increased impor tance Jo the public. How fur it will he in my power to meet tho expectations of tho House, by an ablo and enlightened discharge of tho duties of this high station, it is not for mo to say. Dis trustful of my own abilities, I can promise but little else than zeal and fidelity: 1 shall shrink from the performance of no duty, how ever painful { shun, no responsibility, howev er severe ; my time and talents shall be de voted'to yoar service ; and, in pursuing the manly and steady course which duty directs, I shall at least, be cheered end sustained by a consciousness of tlio purposes, and a con fidence in the principles, which I shall bring with me into this arduous service. On you part, gentlemen, I shall expect and heed your kind and cordial co-operation, and that general confidence, without which all the efforts of authority would bo nugatory ; and I entreat you to afford me that aid and support, in maintaining the established rules and orders of the House, so necessary to the character and dignity of its deliberations, and the despatch of tho business of tho nation. In assembling again to consider the condi tion of our beloved country, I seize tlm occa sion to offer you my cordial congratulations upon its prosperity and happiness, and the still more exalted destinies that await it.— Whilst our relations with foreign powers arc distinguished by alliances and good will, which servo but t o render our frici d drip more valuable to each, and more courted by all; cur situation at home, under tho influence of vir tuous and pmrtut'x councils, Is peaceful, uni ted, and happy. How long these blessings are to bo enjoyed by us, ami secured to our children, must depend upon the virtue and in telligence of the people, tho preservation of our Union, and the virtuous, liberal and on- lightened administration of our free institu tions. That our confederated Republic can only exist by the ties of common interest, and bro therly attachment; hy mutual forbearance and moderation, (collectively nnd individual ly,) and hy cherishing a devotion to liberty and Union, must ho apparent to even' cbndiu mind; and ns our fathers united their coun cils and their arms; poured nut their blood and treasure in support of their common rights; nnd by tho exertions of all, succeeded in defending the liberties of each, so must we, if wo intend to continue a free, united, and hnppy people, profit hy their councils and emulate their illustrious example. How much will depend upon tho conduct and deliberations of tho National Legislature, and especially of this House, it is not needful that I should admonish you. I need not, 1 tun sure, remind you, Gcutlemcn, that we are here the guardians and representatives of our entire country, and not the advocates of local and partial interests. That national legislation, to bo permanent ly useful, must be just, liberal, enlightened and impartial. That ours is the high duty of jirotccting all, and not a part; of maintaining Inviolably tho public faith; of elevating the public credit and resources of tho nation; of expending tho public treasure with the same care and economy that wo would our own; of limiting ourselves within the pale of our constitutional powers, nnd regulating our measures by the great principles contained in that sacred charter, nnd’ cherishing in our hearts tho sentiment, that the Union of the States cannot bo too highly valued, or too wntchfirily cherished. These arc some of tho great land marks, which suggest themselves to my mind, as proper to guide us in our legislative career. By these means, Gentlemen, we shall not only render ourselves worthy of tho high trust con fided to us, but wo shall endear to our people the principles of their constitution and free institutions, and promote a sentiment of union and action auspicious to the safety, glory, and happiness of our beloved and commou coun try!

For example, wo have hoard of a planter realizing only two hhda. of sugar, out of nearly twouty acres cultivated: a circumstance which we do not mention na a certain or probaldo criterion of tho aggre gate production, in totercnco to tho extent of cultivation, hut merely to show tho effect ot our inclement Spring and singularly wot Summer, Ivliirh aoaaona are over followed up hy as remarkably audden changes in tho tem perature.

COTTON—Since our last report Uplands have been dull, and the aalcti of the week will ii t exceed 2000 bates. The quantity offering is large, and as per emptory orders, in many instances, have been given to sell on the wharf, lower rates have ncccssnrily been aulimitlod to. Some fair lots have been sold at 8 6-8 a 8 3-4; and some very good lots of Southern Cot ton at 0 n 91-8; els, which is a decline ofS-8 to 1-2 cl. since ourlastrcfiort. But even at theso rates purchasers are not anxious to avail themselves, and we may ob serve that holders at tho same time, are less anxious to H«ll.
