WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC. 29- ~ From New-Vobk.—By the arrival las* evening of the ship Stotira, Captain Wood, wc aro in possession of New-York papers to Wednesday last inclusive,— Their contents aro uninteresting. The revenue cutter Crawford, intended for the Geor gia station, and to bo commanded by Captain T* l*aine, was launched at Now-York on tho Ifltli inst. The ship Candace, arrived at Marblehc.nl on the 12th inst. Sho Bailed Irnm Boston 20th October for Sumatra. On tho 13th Nuv. lat. 0 N. long. 24 W. fell in with a piratical brig, (hermaphrodite,) which boarded pnd robbed thorn of all their specie, (810,850,) 7 bales dry goods, tho principal part of tho olllcers’ clothing, w itches, provisions, &c. The officers and crew or the piratical vessel were Spanish and Portuguese, and about •IQ in number—hadonolong gun a*midship and three small guns. They boarded tho Candace about 3,1*. M. and left her about 7, at which time another square rigged vessel was in sight, steering 8. E. which they stood for. They used no violence to the crow, nor in jured tho vessel in any respect. Tho pirate brig was supposed to bo from Havana, as ono of the crow was recognised as Steward of the ship Paris, of Salem, ut Havana in September lust. Virginia Co.WKNTiON.-ThUbody bus been insmt- *iuti now ten weeks, and its terniuation is yet a matter of conjecture. Somo say Christmas, and others New year, will witness tho conclusion of its labors—the lat ter is considered by tho Enquirer as tho most probable. t*p to the 15th inst. according to the same paper, they had gone through in Commitlo of the Whole the Reports Vt" the four great Committees, and various other propo sitions which have been submitted by individual mem bers—but tho great question after nil, seems not to be completely settled—and nothing call be definitely ar ranged, until the Basis ofKcprcscutntion has been fixed. A few days, however, cannot elapse before an ultimate decision is formed upon it. Russia,—This mighty Empire contains a population ot‘jJ-,592,000 souls, inhabiting 12 distinct nations, com prising 83 various grades or races of human beings, ami professing about a dozen religious creeds. Of these Ityft, there are 40,000,OCO belonging to the Gicek Church, 0,000,000 Catholic*, 2,500,060 Lutherans, 3,000,060 .Mahometans, 6,000 Jews, and 200,000 I.amuites.— A year or two ago, its revenue amounted to $76,774,- JU4, whilst its expenditures somewhat exceeded $75,- 1)53,197, and its national debt was even then estimated at ns much as $160,500,000. It contains lb-10 cities or towns of note, 1210 strong places, besides 227,400 villages and hamlets. Tho army when reduced to the regular peace establishment, is fixed at 47,OSS men, for Russia, and 50,000 for Poland. Lastly, the navy, about n year ago, comprised fifty ships of the lino, thirty-live frgutes, and 100 other large vessels, besides floating- batteries, gun-boats, ami gallics, manned by somewhat more than 50,GC0 sailors—but the navy has, rinse that time; been very much strengthened. A new steamboat Is preparing ut Albany, Now York, fur the navigation of the Hudson River, and will be rea dy to take her ptaco early In the ensuing season. Sho fe ISO fed long on deck, the depth of hold is 0 feet; breadth of beam 24 feet; her tonnago is about 3lH).— She has a promenade deck 120 feet lung; (the usual length of promenade decks is about 50 feet) this will be a great advantage iniainy weather, as twniiy all the main deck will be protected from the rain. Her engine which was mada in Pittsburgh, is on the Mississippi plan, and takes up but 5 feet in width, on deck, and oc cupies none of tho cabin, which is therefore very large Und commodious, in which tables can be set of the length uT 225 feet: engines generally take up mm third of tho cabin. There are 150 births; and 50 hummocks can be attached to the centre pillars. One peculiarity ol Jjils beat is tl^at sho has a round stern. Tho following tribute to the memory of Thomas Jef ferson appears iti tho London Morning Chronicle Thomas Jr.rrfcitsoN.—Wo have received the highest gratification from a work which has just issued from the press—tho Memoirs and Correspondence of that great and good man, Thomas Jefferson, the cele brated President of the United States. The spectacle of a man of strong powers, devoting himself to thu good «f his fellow creatures, is like tho night of un oasis in the African desert, to the spectator of tho dirty jobbihg and selfish aims of those who cull themselves thu great in (bis country. Tho New-Yurk Courier, in an article upon the de crease of our seamen, proposes as a remedy, that mer chant vessels should be required by law to take appren tices, and that vessels of war should take two hoys ex tra for each gun. A regulation similar to this we be lieve exists in tho British mcrchunt ami natal service. It is considered to bo doubtful if wo could now man a 74 in 0,0, or perhaps 12 months—that ships of war hustily tilled have been obliged to sail without their compliment of first rate seamen—and that our Naval Officers arc becoming alarmed at this state of things. If such is thu !&ct, it is very evident that somo mousurcs should be adopted for the preservation of the most valuable branch of our national defence—an efficient body of seamen. A letter received at Boston, dated Cadiz, October 26, says—‘‘The vessels that have been lying off the port, the last week, were allowed to emuo in on .Saturday, and will count quarantine JVoin the Iff h inst. All vet*. sola from 35 S. lat. are not admitted here or at GUirah tur from 18th May to 18th November, without hat in;, performed quarantine at u Spanish Lnzcrctlo. Several vessels that loaded at New Oilcans, Charleston, Savan nah, &c. for Marseilles, Havre, Antwerp, nml Amster dam, after discharging the cargo, and coming hero in W'tol, Wit Ml 1 * benlh, properly authenticated, have been turned off.” GenerosItv.—Tlte Boston and Providence Citi- ZiUis* Coach Coinpuny have with a praiseworthy liber ality, presented Mr. Doyle, a druymau who lust his horse by a late steamboat accident, with n very line ami valuable animal, fully equal to the one he had lost.— Tliis action, when lie had no legal claim upon them, re flects great credit upon the company. In the Lower Branch of the North Carolina Legisla ture, on the 9th instant, Mr. Wychc, from thu Commit tee of Finaftcc, made a report recommending the rejec tion of tho resolution to authorise the Public Treasurer <o receive the notes of solvent Banks in Georgia, South Carolina aiyl.Tencssce, in payment of bonds given for ].urohasoofCheroUeelunds; winch report wusdisagreed ty, and the said resolution was amended, read the second lime and jtlsscd.

Central Bank.—The following U the Report on the Ccntrul Rank, heretofore omitted. The Joint Committee on Bonks mndo tho following report (drawn up by our Senator Mr. Ilaberslmui.) Tim Joint Standing Committee on Banks, to whom was referred so iiiuch of the lute Governor’s Message us related to tho Central Bank of Georgia, in addit ion to tho report already made, bi g leavo further to Report That your Committee being fully aware of the impor tance of the duly entrusted them, uud also, that the man lier of its discharge might and would probably form a pre cedent, by which future, like Committees would in some measure be guided, determined to spare neither time nor labor in making a full and entire investigation into the utfiiira of the Batik, and into tho manner in which they hud been hitherto conducted—ns wn3 anticipated the investigation bus occupied much time, and has pro duced a delay iu making this report, which your Com mittee would regret were they not satisfied that much future good to the institution and to the Stato will result from the course they have thought proper to pursue.— Your Committoo would however hero remark, that this delay bus arisen in part from a eirniiiHtiuice which was beyond their coutroul—<they al'mlc to the fact, that as the Bunk is kept open for business Loth morning utul af ternoon, the officers of the in.-titutinu were so constant ly employed during the day iu the current business oft lie Bunk, that your Committee could not proceed in their examinations during the day, mid were obliged to malm them in the night time, when tins services of the officers could be commanded. Your Committee have however, notwithstanding their difficulties, but with much labor to themselves, been ut length enabled to complete their task iu tho mndo originally adopted, and now report for the information of the Legislature, thu results of their investigation. They have carefully examined the certificates ofStock in other Banks held by the Central Bunk, ns part of its Capitul. They huvo also carefully examined all the notes discounted, ami found nolle to exceed iu amount the limitation prescribed by the Charter, except such notes as were received in lieu ol debts due to the State, They have also examined the lists of Bills of Exchange discounted and yet running to maturity; counted tlte bills of the Central Bank remaining on hand; and the bills of all other Banks held by thu Bank, including thu.su of the United States Bunk and its Brunches ; huvo ex amined the bond.', notes, and other securities, which were transferred by tlte State to thu Bank, and which remain unpaid; and counted the specie ititho vaults,and have found that the amount of Bank Stock, Notes dis counted, Bills of Exchange discounted, bills of the Cen tral Bank on hand, Bills and Notes ofother Banks, the loads, notes and other securities transferred by the Slate and remaining unpaid ; and the amount of specie cor respond precisely with the state ofthu Bunk rendered on the 10th of December. Your Committee ulso examined iu reference to that provision of tho Charter which limits thu Directors iu their issues, and found that the issues were within the prescribed limits—they then extended their investigation to ascertain whether thu directors had distributed their discounts as nearly us was practicable among tho seve ral enmities ofthu state iu accordance with the require ment ofthu Charter, and found that they hud used their bust exertions to ellbct this object ns nearly as was prac ticable, and us your Conuuiiteo believe, did attain it us nearly us circumstances would permit* Iu doing this, they were subjected to many difficulties; they hud no curtain means within their reach of ascertaining the then population of enmities, a population always fluctua ting and changing in a remarkable degree, and they were left in doubt by the previous Legislature ns to the mode of estimating that population, for the Cliurler had used only the word population, without designating whether it intended tho representative or only the white population. These difficulties and embarrassments were furthur increased by the immense number of notes offered fur discount on tho first offering day, they a* mountiug in the whole to nearly nine hundred, and nr.- companied by thousands of certificates, alt of which the Directors were necessarily compelled to examine ami scrutinize before a selection or apportionment could lie made ; and all of which was to be done by Ihrea direc tors between Tuesday morning uud Saturday morning,' the time which from the pressure of the applicants, and the great inconvenience to which many of them were subjected, the Directors had promised to commence the payments. Thus hurried and pressed mistakes could not he uvoidcJ, and when up >u a final closing of their discounts at 5 o’clock on Suturduy morning, it was found that mistakes had been made, which could not lie recti fied, withuut a re-examination of the notes and certifi cates the Directors concluded to allow these errors to remain until by an amendment by the charter, and by the attainment of u more correct knowledge of the popu lation of tho several counties, they would ho enabled iu future distribution to do equal justice to nil. For further and inoro minute information on this subject, your Com mittee beg leave to refer to a communication made by the Presidehl of the Bank. By the charter of the Bank tho Directors arc required to discount Bills of Exchange, ond in pursuance of this requirement they have availed themselves of the funds which remained iu tho Bunk, including those nssigued to particular counties, and not called for either in whole nr in part, and which would otherwise have remained unproductive to tho .State. The application of this fund iu this mode, while it did no injustice to those coun ties, which had already received their due apportion ment, was productive of great advantages to tho Batik, and of course to the interests of the State so deeply in volved therein. By enabling tho Directors to place funds at Savannah, Augusta, and other points, which would bo received iu lieu of specie by those presenting the notes of tho Bunk for payment, a draw of specie from the Bank, otherwise unavoidable, lias been pre vented, while the State has realized by this operation a profit on a fund which would otherwise have remained unproductive, of$l,878 54. Indued so essential do your Committee conceive this mode of discount by bills o lie to the credit and safely of I he Bank, that they respect fully recommend that a portion of the fluids of the Bank he hereafter set apart and appropriateJ exclusively for this purpose. If this not done, the Bunk, to sustain its credit, w ill soon be obliged to purchase specie at n hea vy expense or step payment, while on tlm other hand, specie funds, by this operation, may nut only he obtain ed without cost, hut iu fact perhaps at a profit to the State. Nor will the comities which huvo nut called for their apportionment bu d prived of their rights by this use of the tutnis, fur as the di-'ceums only rim sixty day tho fund can always he restored when it is wanted— Before concluding this brunch of their inquiry, your Committee would remark, that while it was tbimd im practicable to distribute the discounts of bills utttoug thu counties ns provided for, as in the case of notes dis counted the Directors have strictly adhered to the limi tation of $2,500, by discounting no bill of Exchange be yond that amount. Your Committee have also deemed it to lie their duty Anther to inquire into the specie operations of tho Bank, ami find thut no Rpocie has been drawn on any occasion from the Bank, except iu the ordinary transac tions of tho till, where thu drafts have been small except in a single instance of n draft of $2,000, by an indivi dual going out of the State, and that consequently the originul amount of specie iu the Bank lias been dimin ished but little. The specie funds of tho Bank, ns contradistinguished from specie, have been considerably diminished by calls or demands from tho Stato Bank, tlm Marine 4c Fire Insurant!" Bank, and individuals in Augusta. Thoso demands tho parlies hud a right to make, ami a compli ance with which could not he refused without a material injury to theoro lit ufihc Institution. Ami here your Com mittee would lake occasion to remark, (but when the Cen tra! Bank commenced its operations it hut! a large umount of puper of other Banks o£ this Stato iu its vaults, apnMrfid. would itt no roapoCt' aatify tliO Spirit in tion of which it bccamo necessary to convert into specie, which Carolina has resisted it* Your com- mittcco would not at this timo express any (bars of an imposition in tho Congress of (ho United States to redress tho evils of which this stato Imu complained, hut relying on tho firmness and energies of tho state to vindicate tho principles siio has avowed they would patiently wait until the proceedings of ess shall cither undeccivo us or shall Congress satisfy all minds that tho government which in the language of his excellency “ is tho best in theory” may ho so perverted as to be made the worst in practice and that our constitu tional confederacy is overthrown by a combi nation of interested majorities nguinst which there is no conservative power, but that which resides in the states as sovereigns. Your committee recommend the following resolutions, viz: Resolved, that it is cxncctcd that his excel lency tho governor should open a correspon dence with our delegation in Congress and obtain from them all such information con cerning the events of tho present congress, and the measures necessary to be pursued by this state, as in his judgment it may bo proper to lay before tho Legislature or the people. Resolved, that this house repose a high confidence in tho zeuf, llrmncss «u«l «li«*or*»- tiun of the goveritut mid of our delegation in congress. and for the whole of which they could have domandud pay. incut in specie; but that tho Directors of tho Chiral Bank, with a just and prudent regard to tho intpreats of the Slate, and awuru dial 1(10 State was a large stock holder in several of those Banke, determined rot to cre ate any unnecessary ami injurious pruasuro upon those Bunk*, and therefore limited their domandsthr specie to only such an amount as they believed cothl bo paid by tho Banks without inconvcnicnco. In puisuanco of this just and liberal policy, a circular was otUrcasod by tho President to thu several Banks, tho tcquircmcqta of which wero met iu tho aamo liberal spirt it* almost eve ry instance. Your Cummiitcn bog lo tvo to add, flat tho Central Bunk isinasidu uud wholusumo condition ; that on the 10th day uf Dwciubcr instant, it had in emulation only $203,401) of its note*, while ut tho same tine, it had iu specie funds to redeem that amount, tho autttuf $392,529 52. Your Comm'.tien cannot conclude their riqort with out expressing their approbation of the zeal, alffity and persewranco which has boon displayed by tho Direc tors and Officers in the management of tho uffuirs tftlic Bunk, from its establishment to thu present time, and would respectfully recommend.them as entitled to the lull confidence of tho Legislature.

S. Sr.ooi' Warren.—We find in the Journal of Commcrco a letter from Port Mahon, dated September lfitli, and signed “ An Otliccr of the Navy.” Wo hope it wifi appear thut tho difficulty has arisen from unavoidable contingencies; though we cannot readily perceive how blame ought not to attach somewhere. It appears, according^ to the officer's statement, that tho crow of tiic United States sloop of War, Warren, entered the service for three years, with a promise that they should be discharged in the United,States, at the expiration of that time. They wore, however, sent to Asia, to sec their term of service expire there : but were promised that they should be sent home.— They arrived at Port Mahon on the 1st Sept., when the terms of many had been out for two months ; and learned that tho Warren was not to return to the United States, nor was any provision made for paying them olF, or sending them homo. Under these cireuin- dtuuccs, 1*J0 oftho crow demanded their dis charge, uud were wandering about tho streets without money or friends. Thirty-seven had employed a little schooner to bring them home. The Wurron was laid up by the dock with but a few hands on board, open for re cruits. Wc understand, says tho Sulem Gazette, that a young Boa Constrictor, of considerable size, was obtained by ono of tho seamen on hoard the brig Osprey, of Salem, at Manilla, for the purpose of bringing him home. Tho reptile, however, nv.ulo Ins escape from the box iu which he had been confined, soon ni ter sailing, and was supposed to have died or gone overboard, as nothing more was seen of him during tho voyage. But when tho cargo oftlm Osprey came to he discharged, his smikeship was t»mml iu a state of torpor, his huge length snugly coiled amongstmtlry bags of stmar, where ho hud been fasting for many j months, without any apparent injury to his ; constitution. Ho is now in good health and spirits, and in tho posjjssiou of one of Ihs owners oftho Osprey. COMMUNICATED FOR THU GEORGIAN.
