He was tried and abundant evidence was adduced to establish his crime, but through the exertions of the new Consul, he was le leaaed and ordered to quit the country for ever. noz. If the millions of impressions ofdaily and weekly newspapers that are thrown off by the press of the country, could utter the words that are imprinted on their pages, and could mingle sounds with the public tongue, the air would vibrate from Maine to Georgia, with the name of Boz! we would hearnotbingbuf Boz-z-z-z! Boz-z-z-z! with occasional execrations upon that once honored, now detested name. And why is this I What has poor Boz done that has so played the very Dickens with his once fair fame I Why, he has followed “in the foot steps of illustrious predecessors” —and lie must now reap the reward always so libe rally bestowed upon English journalists by the “ toadies” of the quill. The same rou tine of treatment must be carried out with the amiable Boz, that has been bestowed upon all the scurrilous sciibblers and cock ney tourists that have preceded him, with an increase of the wormwood in proportion to the superior merits of the man. Being an admirer of Charles Dickens, whom we consider the master spirit of the age, in his peculiar department of literature, wo were apprehensive of the effect of his visit to this country. We doubted not that he would fall into the affectionate embrace of that ar tificial, soulless, anti-American clique of the great cities, who, we believe, are usually denominated “ the Fancy,” by their own organs—that he would he disgusted at the cringingsychophancy, the immodest plaudits and servile whoship, of those who would hang thickest about him—and that he would return as ignorant of the true American character as he came, and thus be led to in dulge in a strain of criticism and sarcasm that would do injustice to the genuine im pulses of the man. We have not been whol ly mistaken. His reception in this country by the class to whom we have alluded was as humiliating as it well could be, the reac tion as decided and certain as it bad always been, and Mr. Dickens bad scarce left our shores before bis “Fancy” worshipers turned the kennels of their press against him—and now that his “ Notes” of travel have been published, the storm of abuse almost equals the torrent of adulation and praise with which he was welcomed among 113. We have not had the good fortune to see the “ American Notes for General Circulation,” and cannot speak of the book. We have, however, seen copious extracts in almost every paper, with voluminous comments by the very editors who were for illuminations, ringing of bells and firing of cannon, and all that,"in celebration of the arrivnl of the “Immortal Boz;” and though by the tone of these same comments one would be led to expect that in Mr. Dickens’ book all the Fiddlers, Trollops, Halls and Marryatts had been out-Fiddlered, Trolloped, Hailed and Marryatted, and the natural manners, cus toms and institutions—to use an expressive western phrase —tetetiatiovshj crftunctificd —yet, thus far, we have been unable to de tect asingle paragraph, that in our judgment should excite against the author the least personal ill feeling. What we have seen are just such reflections as we should ex pect from the gifted author, whose opinions and prejudices were imbibed under a differ ent form of government and in a different order of society. There are certainly some very wide mistakes and errors of judgment —but they are honest errors—such as we should pardon in a tourist who had eujoyed no better opportunities of forming correct opinions of us than did the writer, in his btief sojourn. Among the extracts which have met our eye, there is much, too, that is wholesome and true, and we doubt not that the hook itself contains much that would be a worthy offset to the faults that have been cited by the author’s assailants. The following, which is aliout a severe as any thing we have seen from the book needs on ly to be confined to a considerable portion of the New York press, which is perhaps what Mr. Dickens means by American press, to render it truly applicable in all its force and meaning : AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PRESS. “ When any man of any grade of desert, in intellect or character, can clitnb to any public distinction, no mutter what, in Amer ica, without first grovelling down upon the earth, and bending the knee before this mon ster of depravity ; when any private excel lence is safe from its attacks, when any social confidence is left unbroken by it, oranv tie of social decency and honor is held in the least regard ; when any man in that free country has freedom oi” opinion, and pre sumes to think for himself, and speak for himself, without humble reference to a cen sorship, which, for its rampant ignorance and base dishonesty, he utterly loathes and despises in his heart; when those who most acutely feel its infamy and the reproach it casts upon the nation, and who most de nounce it to each other, dare to set their heels upon and crush it openly in the sight of all men ; then I will believe that its influ ence is lessening, and men are returning to their manly senses. But while that press has its evil eye in evrey house, and its black hand in evrey appointment in the State, from a President to a postman —while with rib ald slander for its only stock in trade.it is the standard literature of an enormous class, who must find their reading in a newspaper, or they will not read at all—so long must its odium be upon the country’s head, and so long must its odium he plainly visible in the republic. To those who are accustomed to the leading English journals, or to the res pectable journals of Europe—to those who 11* IIJi it SQa S3 <E> Ifi &lb 8 (DUT are accustomed to any thing else in print and papre—it would be impossible, without an amount of extract, for which I have neither space nor inclination to convey an adequate idea of this frightful engine in America.” Pretty severe, that, upon the press. But as we do not conceive that our circulation, either at home or in Europe, will he at all affected by it—and as we have no doubt Mr. Dickens meant to speak of that press with which he had some intercourse during his stay in New York—-we shall take no of fence at the paragraph, leaving Bennett, who issued an extia Herald, to announce “ The arrival of Boz!!!” with wood cuts, perticulars of the landing, fashion of the coat, caitt, hair, &c., to issue another to re pel the slander. We are not less ashamed of the unmea sured adulation and fulsome flattery that is always so liberally bestowed upon every foreigner of any distinction —literature or rope-dancer—than we are of the childish sensitiveness forever displayed at any thing that such spoiled children, may choose to write about their worshippers. Who cares what they write, so they make a pleasant book ? They are not presumed in reality to know anything about us, and were we to treat such efiorts with the indifference with which the English treat the writings of our tourists, the business of journalizing Amer ica would not pay os well as it does. We will warrant the English nation were not thrown into convulsion by Mr. Lesltre’s “ Glory and Shame of England,” and we doubt whether they will soon be troubled with another Leslter. The thing won’t pay —an American writer would do a better business at blackguarding his own country than one that lie knew nothing about. In another column will he found an ex tract ft-m an English paper in regard to Mr. Dickens’ book, by which it seems poor Boz has enemies at home as well as abroad. There are many, however, in this country and in Europe, who wilknnl abate their ad miration of the inimitable sketcher of char acter, notwithstanding the alleged spurious ness of his “ Notes.” {IT* It is stated in some of the Northern papers that Miller, theend of the world pro phet,is busily engaged in const! acting an ap paratus somewhat on the plan of Colt’s sub marine buttery, but on an “all fired”large scale, which he intends keeping in teserve, so that if the world should make a mistake, and not go off at the appointed time, he will be able to make his word good by touching it ofl’ himself. He calculates to be able to blow this globe arid two or three other plantiets in its immediate neighbor hood “ slam bang to eternal shrnashes” in a twinkling. It is reported that the discove ry of this part of his theory has increased his converts more than twenty per cent. IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES. We see among the bills introduced intbe Senate, one by Mr. McDonald, entitled, “An Act to protect the character of free white females from slanderous aspersions.” We hope the bill fully defines what is meant by “ slanderous aspersions.” We once knew an old lady who considered herself dreadfully slandered by a neighbor, who said she, “couln’t make a back-bone pie fit for a dog to eat;” and we know several young ladies who would consider themselves ruin ed, were a report to get out that they under stood the moillus operandi of cooking the simplest meal. Such is the difference of opinion among “free white females.” We are opposed to special legislation for any particular class, but if any aie to have pe culiar privileges—are to be exempted from “ slanderous aspersions” by law—why, we say,let it be the dear creatures, by all means. Will any of our Millcdgeville correspon dents inform us whether Mr. McDonald is a married man or a bacliellor 1 Colt, the individual who was convict ed of the m urder of Adams, and whose misfortunes havo afforded so much capital for the New York press of late, was to have been bung on Friday last, but avoided the ignominious death of the saffbld.’by com mitting suicide with a bowie knife a short time before his execution was to have taken place. The account of his death is given thus : Precisely five minutes to four o’clock, Seriff Hart and Westervelt, dressed in uni form, with Dr. Anthon, proceeded to the cell. On the keeper opening the door. Dr. Anthon, who was first, drew back, threw up bis hands and eyes to heaven, and, utter ing a faint ejaculation, turned pale as death and retired. “As I thought,” said the keep er. And going in the cell, there lay Colt on his back, stretched out at full length on the bed quite dead, hut not cold. A clasp knife, like a small dirk-knife, with a broken handle, was sticking in his heart. He bad stabbed himself about the fifth rib on the left side. His vest was opened, the blood had flowed freely, and his hands, which were placed across his belly, were very bloody ; he had evidently worked and turn ed the knife round and round in his heart after he had stabbed himself uutil he made quite a large g£sh. His body was laid out quite straight on the bed as if laid out for a funeral by others. His mouth was open and his eyes partly open. Dr. Hossack and several others went into his cell and pro nounced him dead. The Coroner was ready at hand, took charge of the body, and locked up the cell, i THE LEGISLATURE. We have looked in vain through whole pages of “ legislative proceedings” in the Milledgeville papers, for some enact ment of this bpdy, which might be of inter est to our readers. It would seem that the time already consumed has been devoted mainly to electioneering, caucuses, and po litical log-rolling, and that all that lias been done in the way of legislation, with a few exceptions, has been of a trivial and private nature—such as the incorporation of local institutions, altering the names and chang ing the citizenship of individuals, and legit imatizing such assuffered legal impediments from the loose morals of their progeniters. Nearly every member has had some little measure of this sort brought up, which, though they may be of vast accommodation to their immediate constituency, and will doubtless lie capital at the next election, are of little service to the Slate. None of the great measures to which the people look with anxiety and interest have been acted upon —not even has a Senator lieen elected. .The poor Central Bauk, which, as we ssid last week, seems to have no friends now in Milledgeville, is about to be over hauled, and we hope thoroughly. A reso lution has been passed by the Senate, re quiring the Directors of that institution to render a schedule of all the notes, bills of exchange and drafts of each citizen in the counties throughout the State, with the names of the endorsers, and the attorney’s receipt for such as may lie in suit. A bill to abolish imprisonment for debt lias been introduced, and another has been passed by the Senate,repealing the 10th section of the Act incorporating the Western and Atlantic Rail Road, and authorizing the Governor to subscribe in behalf of the State, for stock in branch roads. These, with some few amend ments and alterations of the statutes, for the accommodation of lawyers and litigants,are about the sum of the session thus far. But for fear of “ the big gun of the par ty,”—who will not tolerate attacks upon “ legislative bodies” by any but himself, we would indulge in some reflections upon the disinterested patriotism of our law-makers, but perhaps it is better—while wc stand oil neutral ground—that vve should remain si lent on the subject. We trust, however, that wc will give no offence, by appending the following just and candid remarks from the editor of the “ Constitutionalist,” in lieu of what we might feel constrained to say— “ Matters of vital importance have to be acted on at th§. present session of the leg islature. And how have they been taken up ] Have they been taken up with the view of promoting the best interests of the state] Or have they been taken up with the view of assisting the schemes of a few individuals] Why has not the subject of the Central Bank been placed before the legislature, taken up by that body, and already discus sed, divested of all selfish and interested con siderations ] Is that institution to be made subservient to individual interest, and private schemes ] Are the people to be deceived, gulled, and made the instruments of their own ruin, merely to relieve the desperate fortunes of a few individuals I The party in power should be aware, that the people can temporarily he made the victims of de ception; but that sooner or later they discov er the deceptions that have been practsed, and that their resentment is as great as the wrongs they have suffered. Another subject will certainly attract the attention of the petiple. Why has not the choice of a United States Senator taken jilace I Why 6o many caucuses, so many candidats, and so many postponements of the election I Did the democratic party acquire, power for the purpose only of opening an arena, where citizens are to exhibit their physical powers in the strength of their lungs, and length of speeches, to gratify the morbid appetite of the spectators who may take pleasure in such unbecoming and unmanly exhibitions! ('an such a party maintain its power ! In stead of thus acting the members of the party should have looked around them, should have looked to the east, the west, the north, and the south, and endeavour to find out among the many citizens that Geor gia does posses, eminent for talents, public services, and private virtues, one qualified to fill the axalted station of Senator in Con gress, one that would he honored by the choice made of him to represent in that august body,tbe Senate of the United States, so respectable a state as Georgia, and one that would have honored the office to which he wliould have been elevated, by all the qualifications which characterize the states man, the honest and virtuous man, and the gentium hi. By making such a choice, the people would have been convinced of the pure motives anil patriotic intentions of those to whom they have delegated their legisla tive powers ; they would maintain in pow r a patty which had thus acted, and they would have thanked then! for their patriot ism and their labors in promoting the pub lic good, and in maintaining the honor and dignity of their Stale. Has not the demo cratic party any honor and dignity to main tain, especially when that party i9 in the majority 1 Any disrepute or dishonor which a party thus in power suffers, must lie felt by the whole State; both the State and par* ty in power are identified, in all measures, 1 and in any policy that may be adopted.— How careful then should the party in power be, not to stain its honor and dignity by the adoption of measures, and the pursuance of a policy which cannot be sanctioned by the people, without compromising the best in terests of the State und its high regard for the good opinion of their fellow-citizens of other States!” “Esq.” at the end of amau’sname, islikea quirk in a pig’s tail, more for ornament than use. 07“ While the editors of all parties are indulging in their suggestions to the legisla tive wisdom of the State, we trust we will be allowed to make one, which we feel as sured, if acted upon, would olrviato much inconvenience and expense to the common wealth. As much of the tin.e of the pre sent Session has been consumed in consider ing bills to alter the names of individuals, would it not he well to pass a general act, something after this fashion— Section I—Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, Tlmt ftom and after the passage of this act it shall and may he lawful for any individual, or person, to change or alter his or her name or names, at pleasure, and to take, assume, and adopt such other uame or names as may best suit his or her taste or fancy; and that such individual or person who may thus change his or Iter name or names, shall be entitled to all the privileges in the name or names thus taken, assumed, or adopted, that he or she would have been entitled to in bis or her original name or names. Provided always, that the said in dividuul shall not be exempt front any of the liabilities which be or site may have incur red before said change of name or names. And further provided always , that said itt dividvnl or person shall cause public notice to be given through all the newspapers in the State, of his or her determination to take, assume, and adopt a name better adapted to their taste or fancy, paying to each editor publishing the same Jive dollars in advance, in current funds. We hope no one will consider us interest ed in making the above suggestion, further than the laudable interest which every good and patriotic editor should feel in relieving the councils of the State from any portion of its numerous embarrassments. Perhaps the above rough draft is susceptible of amend ment—this might be done in the progress of legislation, and we have no doubt of the salutary effects of the measure if adopted. APPORTIONMENT OF TIIE STATE. Mr. Smith, of Bibb, has introduced into the House of Representatives a bill for the apportiounv nt of the State, in compliance witli the District Law of Congress. The following is the arrangement proposed by the bill : First District. —Emanuel, Striven, Bul loch, Effingham, Chatham, Liberty Biyan, Tatnall, Mclntosh, Wayne, Ware, Appiug, Camden, Montgomery, Glynn, Telfair and Lowndes—Representative population 61,- 725. Second District —Wilkes, Lincoln, Col umbia, Richmond, Burke, Jefferson, War ren, Washington and Laurens, —Represen- tative population 66,372. Third District. —Hancock, Greene, Put nam, Baldwin, Jasper, Morgan, W alton, Clark and Talliaferro—Representative popu lation 66,605. Fourth District. —Oglethorpe, Elbert, Madison, Jackson, Frankltn, Hall, Lumpkin, Habersham. Rabun And Union—Represen tive population 63,409. Fifth District. Newton, DeKalb, Campbell, Forsyth, Gwinuef, Cobb, Che rokee, Gilmer, Paulding, Floyd, Cass, Mur ray, Chattooga, Dade and Walker.—Repre sentative imputation 85,572. Sixth District. — Henry, Monroe, Pike, Fayette, Carroll, Coweta, Heard, Troup, Merriwether and Talbot.—Representative population 73,604. Seventh District .* —Upson, Butts, Bibb, Jones, Crawford. Dooly, Macon, Houston, Twiggs, Pulaski and Wilkinson.—Repre sentative population 05,063. Eighth District. —Harris, Muscogee, Marion, Steward, Sumter, Randolph, Lee, Early, Baker, Irwin, Decatur and Thomas. —Representrve population 73,110. It is hardly to be presumed that the above arrangement will lie perfectly satisfactory. By reference to the map, it strikes us that it might be much improved. As yet there has been no action upon the subject, and it is to lie hoped that iu its progress it will re ceive such amendment as the wisdom of the Legislature, uninfluenced by party consi derations, may suggest. Q7“Mr.Riddle, of the New Orleans Mint, proposes to coin a three cent piece, out of a composition or alloy of silver and copper, which shall be intrinsically worth that much. He intends petitioning Congress, at its next session to legalize the issue. In by-gone days our people prefered not to be bother ed with anything less than half dimes; but since we have come to learn the value of the penny by the absence of the pounds, we are disposed not to dispise small things, even though we lament the day of them.

LATEST FROM TEXAS. Galveston, Nov. 3, 1842. Gentlemen :—Since my return per the Neptune, I have made considerable inquir ies relative to the defences of Galveston, and think they are sufficient to give a warm reception to the Mexicans, when they come. They consist of one regiment of the county militia and Captain Swingle’s company of Fusiliers, 70 men; Captain Cronican’s Gal veston Guards, SO men ; Snyder’s Vidette company, 50 men ; Kauffman’s company of Grenadiers, 35 men; and Captain Clark’s company of Coast Guards, under command of Lieutonnant Innez, 76 men. Besides, they have erected two batteries, that com mand the channel, mounting nine IS and 24 pounders ; Captain Howe’s Artillery com pany, with two brass 6 pounders; Gail Bor den’s company, with one long brass 9 pound er (presented by the ladies of Baltimore,) one brass 12 pounder, and one 6 pounder. The brig of war Galveston, of eighteen 18 ponnders, is anchored in the channel at the point of the Island. There are nine guns mounted of different calibres, at the navy yard ; but the strongest and most efficient arm of defence and destruction remainsyet to he enumerated, and which has been kept secret by the Comittee of Vigilance; con sisting of two of Colt’s submarine apparatus, which arrived lately in the Star Republic, from New York. They are vet on hoard (lie vessel, and will he removed, one on the har, and one in the channel, at the point of the island, as soon as the steamer Lafitfeis ready to go down with them.
