From tin > Smidicich Islands. —Captain j
K. Arthur, of (ho ship Swift, (reported an
tler marine head) informs us, that on his re- j
turn from the coast of Japan, lie touched
at Atooi, one of the Sandwich Islands, a- !
bout the 20(h June last, and loft there on j
the 2lith. A short lime prior to which for
mer date, the British frigate commanded by *
Lord Byron, despatched for the purpose of
conveying from England the remains of
Ilhio Uliio, had arrived at Onhu. The 1
corpse was landed at that island, and im
mediately deposited in the house of Hilly s
Pitt, prime minister—which house was
thereupon strictly “ tabu'd." After hav
ing duly lain in state, the funeral was so- 1
lemnized in the European style—a long !
and splendid procession was formed, con- !
sisting ot Europeans, Americans and Na
tives, who attended the body to the place 1
ot sepulture. For the first tine the natives 1
were prohibited bv their Chiefs from exhib
iting the customary evidences of grief on
i* , “
such occasions. Ut tins regulation the na
tives complained sadiy—saying, that if the'
were not to be permitted to“ cry,” or ut
ter audible lamentations, their late King
might as well ha'c been buried in England.,
Mam European customs had also been in
troduced, through the intluence ot Lord Hy-i
ron and those Chiefs who had visited Eng
land. Among the new laws was one allow
ing to every native the privilege of procur
ing a market for the produce of his own la
bor, without Hist being compelled, as for
merly, to bung his commoditie to the-
Chiefs. 1 he. utmost tranijuiliiy prevailed:
at the islands —George T.nuuree, the Intel
disturber, was going at large, perfectly'
harmless ; though the Chiefs -cherish a de”- 1
termination to destroy him as soon as thej
protection of Billy Pitt shall be withdrawn.'

The following Decree was issued by the 5
KingofSpAiN and published in the Madrid
Gazette about the lime of its date : a
“ Royal decree, ordering the Freemasons *
taken in flagrante, to be punished within 1
the 3d day conformably to the laws.” I
A lodge of Freemasons having been sei- *
zed in the city of Grenada, through the ac- ’
tivity and zeal of the police, in the act of \
holding their dark meeting, clothed in the |
redicufiius garments, and surrounded by
the instruments and emblems used by this
HKPuouATu shot, the enemy of the alter
and of the throne; and it being proper to j
punish, in an exemplary manner, and in (
conformity to the laws and mv Royal de- ,
cree, so shameless an audacity on the J
part of these criminals, which hSi scandal
ized my faithful ami religious subjects, I j
have thought lit lo decree as follows:
Art. Ist. All the persons seized in the
flagrant acted aforesaid, in the Freemasons’ ,
Lodge of Grenada, shall, within the per- (
ernptory term of three days after the pub
licatiun of this my Royal decree, in the (
said city, undergo the punishment impo
sed by the laws of these my kingdoms, and (
more particularly by my Decree of the Ist
August 1824, (death.)
2d. All who maybe hereafterapprehen- ,
ded, in whatsoever part of the kingdom it ,
may be, in the same maimer as those of
Grenada have been, shall be tried and pnn- ,
idled in the same peremptory term of three .
days, fscc. ,

This decree was put into immediate es ;

in holding a Lodge, were discovered and i

SURVIVING OFFICERS OF THE REVOLUTION'ART

We are informed that this truly vener
able corps of citizens, in the course of the
last week, held a general meeting at Phila
delphia, by delegates appointed for that pur
pose. Col. Troup and Col. Fish were del
egated on the part of the officers of this
State. One object of the meeting was, we
are told, to agree on a memorial to Con
gress, once more asking, and for the last

AUGUSTA.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER’aiTIsisT
THE condition of the Darien Bank has
produced much speculation, in more senses
of the word than one, and it will be remem
bered that at the last session of the Le
gislature a Committee, of very intelli
gent gentlemen, was appointed to inves
tigate the situation of the several Banks in
the State, but cbeifly we believe, with the
view ol obtaining correct information res
pecting the affairs of the Darien Bank.-
The Committee has performed its duty and
we shall soon have an opportunity of pla
cing its report before our readers, but in the
mean time, we copy from the “ Private cor
respondence” of the Savannah Georgian,
the substance of that document, which will
shew that the circumstances of the Bank
fare not irretrievable. What step the legis
lature will adopt we cannot conjecture—-for
there is no telling what the majority may,
or may not do—but if the reasoning of the
, conrfiuittee be correct--the Mother Bank
should be promptly removed to this city.
At l>arien the loss is estimated at $391,016 90
“ Alillutigeviile, 7,174 00
“ .Marion, 39,480 00
Amounting to 437,670 20
In tins estimate is not included the Banking Houses; because
;they still answer the purpose for which they were purchased,
though it is believed, considerable loss will he sustained on them.
{ Besides liie above amounts, which are considered actual loss
es, liie following amounts aracousidered as doubtfully suchred,
to-wit
At Darien * $19,920 00
" jHillcdgcville 25,004 00
, ■'.flarion 4.240 00
•■A/iiuon 14.938 43
Amounting to $94,108 48
The last item, al A/aco*. is the sum in Darien Bills in the
Banking House before it was burnt, and it may or may not have ,
been burnt with it. The estimated actual loss and the doubtful
debts, amounting to $531,844 03
Is partly provided for by a surplus fund of 171,199 31
Which will leave a balance of actual and pro
bable loss amounting to 300,048 37 i
The Committee attribute the. losses of the Darien Bank, to liie
want of commerce in the places of location, and false hopes of
their future prosperity, which frequently led to extensive ac
commodations on light security to those who would improve the
places, or to mare adventures in commerce ; to the depreciation 1
of every species of property since the debts due the Bank were
created, and which was purchased at extravagant prices, hv which
its debtors have loond their whole estates unequal to the pay
ment of Leeir debts ; the necessity from tile want of commerce
and the sparseness of population, of loaning money to persons at a
distance, and of taking endorsements of persons whose condition ,
whs not sufficiently Known; 100 liberal' accommodations to all
parts of the community ; a departure from the proper course of
rigid punctuality in the exaction of payment of debts; and the
immense issue of paper wl.ieh fell into the hands of those who
made purchases of properl y at high prices, or of adventurers who
borrowed money from the Bank for their relief against others
who urged payment or were mere adventurers k. speculators, un
prepared to make regular payments, and relying on the continued
indulgence of the Bank, until all means of payment were taken
tram them by a depression in liie price of properly, fluctuations
in trade, or the management of more active and vigilant creditors.
The Committee believe that the credit of the Bank of Darien
maybe restored by the judicious use of the means yet left ; hv
compelling its debtors without distinction to come to ils relief, by
abstaining from further accommodations; and “by employin'-
the capital in such places as Would enable il to do a regular and
active business among merchants alone, and for those who expert
“JS’MTBiISIiSr
the Hank ot the State of Georgia now is.”
The Committee conclude their report by staling that the
same manner, and with the same objects in view they have ex
amined the Planters’ Bank, the Bank of the State of Georgia
and its branches, and the Bank of Augusta, with regard to all
which i»»; Committee do not deem it necessary to make any
- other or more special report, than that their condition is sound,
an I all their affairs faithfully and ably conducted.”
Governor Troup in his late message, a
gain calls the attention of the Legislature
’ to the Judicial Department of (lie Govern
ment, anil urges the establishment of a
Court of Appeals, as the only remedy for
J. evils which are almost intolerable. The
1 plainest understanding must at once per
ceive the propriety of this recommenda
■, firm, when ic is known that the laws are
' differently construed and administered in
| the seven Circuits, in each of which the
r same Judge constantly presides while in
7 office, without appeal from his decisions.
* It is perfectly true that what is (he Law in
1 one Circuit is not the Law in another, and
J <>f this hundreds of instances might be pro
-1 duced in illustration. We boast of our
e Republican Institutions, and of the securi
ty of our rights, when these rights are de
pendant upon the will of a single individu
al, and their extent unknown even to the
possessor, until the Judge decides upon
* his claims. Laws should be plain and pre-
I cise in their language, so that every citi
] zen may understand, and uniform in their
operation for much the same reason, viz :
|| that every citizen may know what he is re
quired to do, and from what to abstain.
'I As matters at present stand, life, liberty
= and property depend upon a most uncertain
j tenure, for the law which pretends to pro
tect them, is unknown until it proceeds
|| from (he mouth of the Judge, and even
° then it is not to be relied upon further than
’ the case immediately decided, for be who
* has the power to construe the law, may va
ry or reverse his constructions ad infinitum.
It is useless to labour this point; the peo
ple are we believe sensible of the necessity
of a change—and if they were not, but two
examples from the many to which wc have
alluded, would be sufficient to convince.
s If a man hold two endorsed notes—the
* endorsers living, the one at Sanderville
® and the other at Milledgeville (which are
*| «idy twenty-five miles apart)---upon pie
tj cisely the same evidence, he will recover
his debt at Milledgeville and lose it at San
dervillc —at least so have been the deci
sions; and if several join in an adminis
tration bond " to (be judges of the Court
II of Ordinary,” and the estate is wasted and
; e suit brought in Hancock county upon the
11 BBon a recovery cannot be had, for (he
Bond is void, —while in the county of Burke
>- the reverse has been decided, ami the par
;h ties injured allowed to recover upon such a
Bond. Thus the decisions of the several
rvrn re fpT Mf ,r P PPTTvTV
! Circuits as widely differ -as if these Cir
cuits were several states acting under se
veral distinct codes of law. But it is ob
jected that a Court of Appeals, although
necessary to reconcile jarring constructions
and make the law uniform in its application,
; will be attended with great expense and de
s lay ; and this objection is valid perhaps, if
our present system be permitted to remain
unaltered, with the Court of Appeals tack
'ed or added to it. In allowing a party to
- appeal from the Petit Jury Trial, the Le
- gislature doubtless intended to establish a'
. Court of Appeals for the correction of er
rors in every county in the state, but we
1 find that their scheme has failed, that er
; rors cannot always be corrected by the
- Judge who commits them, and the deci
. sions of our Courts may be said to be writ-
I ten upon sand, for one impression is pre
sently effaced by another, and there is noth
" ing certain or permanent. But if to this
J obvious defectiveness of the present system,
• be added the delays of two separate and
t distinct trials, the first being in most in
j stances a mere matter of form, and also the
expenses of supporting witnesses and par-
L ties, employing Counsel and paying costs
throughout these double trials, we must
• come to the conclusion that the present ad
ministration of justice is sufficiently op
pressive, and that to send the parties har
irassed already with two consecutive suits
jto prosecute a third in another Court,
would be to suppose in suitors a superhu
man patience, and to deny justice by rea
son of the waste of time and money required,
in obtaining it. But we are inclined to think
that the present system should be dis
carded and another adopted cheaper and
more expeditious in its operations.—Let
the jurisdiction of the Inferior Courts be
taken away and all suits be brought be
fcre the Superior Courts—let the trial by
petit jury except in criminal cases be abol
ished, and every case tried before a special
jury, which mode of trial is a great improve
ment upon the common jury trial, and one
of the wisest provisions of our jurisprudence
—and then let the errors of the several cir
cuits be corrected by a court consisting of
three or five Magistrates sitting at Milled»-e
--ville, whose decisions will be binding and
[uniform throughout the State. Thus the
Law suit would be brought to a speedy
close and the expenses would he diminished
one half at least, because questions of Law
only would be decided before the appeal
court, and witnesses and suitors instead of
t tend nip as they now do, the appeal trial
at much trouble and cost, would remain qui
etly at their homes. We have rapidly allu
ded to the evils of our system and pointed
to the remedy. The first step towards re
form is undoub’edly an amendment of the
Constitution, We do not pretend to say
that ours is the best scheme, but after some f
consideration, it appears to us to be perfect- j
l.v u..,i tv p a r
eficial in practice, and (he more so, if the
Circuit Judges were compelled by law to
alternate. Desiring to devote our humble ef
forts always to the good of aie State, we
shall be happy if we shall assist even in the
slightest degree, in dispelling the prejudice
which has so long long prevailed in Georgia
against a court of appeals.
