Reduction ol ti»e tethiaturc.
IK I We rejoice to'see that this subject has been
Gff rought to the attention of the Convention,
_ow in session. The redaction of the mem
bers of our Legislature has become a public ne
cessity. So unwieldly a body as we have at
this timeiis unfavorable to discreet legislation,
a useless expense to the State. The Sen-
ateTcspS&tlly, *“» gW wn into ridiculous and
tmpaJUeled proportions, while the iurge hall
in the other end c»f t\ia eapltol is unabio to
hold, with anTthinglihe personal comfort, the
enormous body that is compelled annually to
convene therein.
There seems to be some doubt as to the right
of the Convention to act in the matter, in view
- of the terms of the Act by which they are
called together. We have no misgivings on this
score ourselves; but to rid the measure of all
objections in this regard, let the Convention
pass the ordinance amendatory of the Ooustitu-
tioiwuid submit it for ratrfeafton at the next
State election. The people^# almost unani
mous in their desire for a change, and time has
proved the folly of looking to the legislators
to vote themselves out of office. W e hope the
committee will report favorably, and that the
Convention will promptly pass some judicious
measure of reduction. There is no mistake
about Its cordial approval bv the people.
The Slate Trade.—The prompt and unani-
’ mous action of the Georgia Convention in op
position to this traffic, completely puts to flight
all the slanders and ingenious theories of seces
sion that have been so industriously promul
gated by the northern Black Republican pres?,
for months past. It completely takes the wind
out of their sails, and deprives them of a most
potent argument they have been using to in
fluence the European mind against the South.
We have no doubt the action of the Conven
tion will meet the approval of nineteen twen-
^ _ tie the of the people of the State.
Troops for St. Simons.—We are pleased to
learn, from a private letter, that Governor
Brown has ordered the Jackson Artillery, <>l
Macon, to proceed, forthwith, to St. Simons
Island, and there remain for the protection ol
i f that portion of the coast, until otherwise order
C e d. The move is a judicious one, aud the
’ Governor would do well to extend it, by oider-
, jmj other companies from the interior to points
'v above and below St. Simons—two additional
companies would, probably be ample for
purpose.
The Jackson Artillery were to leave Macon
last night, aud may consequently be expected
, here by this morning’s train.
While on the subject of~ coast defences, we
would suggest the importance of the State’s
constructing immediately a line of telegiaph
from Waynesville to Brunswick, connecting
at the former place with the Cuban line,
together with a line from Savannah to Tybee.
The distance from Waynebville to Brunswick
is some nineteen miles, and the line could be
built and put in operation for the trifling sum
of two thousand dollars, while the cost ol an
operator at the coast icrytinus would amount
to but a few hundred dollars per annum. There
is already a lino to Fernandina, a branch of the
IlC Cubin'line ; and another, completed to Tybee,
would enable the city ol Savannah,' which must
** of necessity be the. great depot of troops,
• munitions, provisions, &c., to cover the entire
' .^i-oufrt. With such facilities, costing but a trifle,
the State would be made periectly sate against
(*■ •’ * i any probable invasion.
We arc pleased to hear that the Engineers
are already in the lieid surveying the route
from the city to Tybee, aud will be reauy
to make their report in the course of a few
days.
Change of Name.—The' True Democrat, of
Augusta, has changed its name to The Rqntblir,
the title of a paper published by the senior
editor some years ago, in the same city.
Latest from Florida.—A despatch to the
Montgomery Advertiser dated Pensacola, Jan.
IS, says :—A detachment, of twenty men, com
manded by Dr. Semple, of Montgomery, took
possession of Fort McRea last night without op.
position. The home squadron is expected in
the harbor to-day. The troops arc all well.
There are one thousand men now in camp.
Convention of tiie Seceding States.—The
Alabama Convention has appointed the follow
ing deputies to the Convention of the seceding
States, to be held at Montgomery on the 11th ol
February:

South, will be held at-'AtlanUi, Ga. The object
\ of ~rhe convention is to secure, such concert^ol

cotton to France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland,
Germany and Russia.
Cannon Casting in Memphis.—The Memphis
> Argus has been informed, on authority the
most reliable, that the Governor of Georgia has
written to a firm there, to know at what rates
they will cast cannon for the State. The herd
of the firm, already possessed of a very exten
sive fouudry here, starts for Georgia, to see
Gov. Brown and make the necessary arrange
ments. - *
Greeley Confident.—The genius of the
Tribune considers secession as decidenly “on
the ebb,” and says the Black Republican Sena
tors and Representatives have only to maintain
4 a masterly inactivity to get all the border slave
States on their side, leaving the cotton States
“out in the cold.” We cannot understand
Black Republican philosophy.
Virginia Commissioners.—The Legislature
of Virginia has appointed Ex.-President John
Tyler, Hon. William £k Rives. Hon. George
W. Summers, Judge John W. Brockenbrough
and Hon. Janies A. Seddon, Commissioners of
the State, to meet other Commissioners from
other States at Washington on the 4th day of
February, for the purpose of devising, if prac
ticable, a plan for settling pending difficulties.

A Sensible Landlokd.—Ah exchange says:
A little incident transpired some time ago, at
one of our hotels, which is worthy of notice.
A little girl enter -d the bar-room and in piti-
f„l tones told the keeper that her mother had
sent her there to get eight cents.
“Eight cents!” said the keeper.
“Yes sir ”
“What does your mother want with eight
cents? I dont owe her anything.”

Millkdgeville, Ga.
Dear Republican :
The Convention met this morning at 10
o’clock, and after prayer, by the Rev. Mr.
Adams, proceeded to business.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Shropshire
and adopted, appointing a Committee of 16 to
report as to the power and authority of the
Convention to reduce the number of members
in the Legislature.
Another resolution was adopted, declaring
that the^tate of Georgia .vill demand her share
of the public property now in possession of
the United Stages Government.
Mr. Chastain offered a resolution, which de
clared that the State of Georgia will promptly
pay to the Federal Government, for the mail -
carriers, her proper proportion of the
expenses incurred in the transportation
of mail matter, after the adoption of the Or
dinance of Secession .y Georgia, and up to the
time of. the commencement of new gpostal ar
rangements.
>fr. Styles, of Ware, ofFered the following,
which was appropriately referred :
Resolved, That it be referred to the Committee
on the Consti.ution, to enquire into and report
on the expediorcy of appointing forthwith, a
Council, to consist of citizens of this State, to
act with the Governor of the. State, as his coun
sellors and advisers, and to be called a Council
of Safety.
Some discussion resulted after the introduc
tion of Mr. Simmons’ protest.
Mr. Hood, of Randolph, said the debate was
altogether out of order, as the document lias
n At been received by the Convention. Another
delegate moved that Mr. Hood’s objection be
answered by the regular reception of the pro
test. It was then received.
Mr. Bartow, of Savannah, then moved that it
be entered on the journals of this Convention.
The motion was adopted.
The following is the protest referred to :
We,'the undersigned, delegates to the Con
vention of the State of Georgia, now in session,
whiNt we most solemnly protest against the
action oftue majority, in adopting an Ordinance
for . li imediate and separate secession of
this State, and would have preferred the policy
of co-operation with our Southern sister States,
yet as good citizens, we yield to the will of a
majority of bet- people, as expressed by their
representatives, and we hereby pledge “our
lives, our fortunes, aud our sacred honor” to
the defense of Georgia, if necessary, against
hostile invasion from any source whatever.

Milledgeville, Jan. 22, 1861.
Dr. I. P. Garvin, of Richmond, offered the
following:
an ordinance.
The people of Georgia, in Convention as
sembled, do hereby ordain, that all white per
sons residing within the limits of the State, at
the date of the Ordinance of Secession, are
hereby constituted citizens of the State, without
regard to place of birth or length of residence.
The Ordinance was referrecTto the Committee
on the Constitution of the State, and the Con
stitution and laivs of the United States.
POSTAL AFFAIR3.
Mr. Bartow, of Chatham, presented the fol
lowing communication from the Postmaster at
Savannah:
To the President and other fnembers of the Con
vention of the State of Georgia.
Gentlemen :—Impelled by a strong sense of
duty, aud at the sacrifice of much feeling on
account of the position which I occupy, I have
deemed it right and proper to address you on
the subject ol our postal arrangements.
These differ materially from nil other sub
ject's which will engage your time and atten
tion. Interrupt the transu ission of the mails
and widespread ruin will be the conse
quence to all the pursuits of life, and misery
will enter every household. I will not, there
fore, pres3 ti e necessity of leaving this branch
of the public service iuta..t because its impor
tance in the pr • ;ent advanced state of civiliza
tion must be two well known and appreciated
to need exposition at myhrnds. I believe that
even war should uot now interrupt any inter
national postal arrangements. The 'United
StateB, whilst our Suite was one of them, en
tered Into contracts for the carrying aud de
livery of the mails to the appointed agents of
said government. Now, the laws of the United
Slates, and the stipulations of those contracts
alike require contractu s to deliver the mails to
the authorized agents of the government, aud
to no one else. These contracts, therefore, apart
from any statutory provision,is the law between
tic contracting parties, and I doubt if the Post
masters ere to resign, or if the Convention
should annul their commissions, I doubt, I
say, if any co itractor would deliver the mails
to”any person. I am sure no contractor could
legally do so, ahd equally sure it would be a
violation of his contract and cause a loss of his
pay. Nor can I doubt, that so soon as the gov
ernment of the United States ceased to have
its own officers, to receive the mails, so soon
would it stop the transmission of mail mat
ter.
I therefore take ti e liberty of suggesting to
your h orable bod}-, the propriety of adopting
an ordinance similar to that which has been
opted by the South Carolina Convention,
and which, in my opinion, would prevent all
obstacles to the regular transmi. sion of the
mails ; and the whole system would continue
as it now exists. Such a course would protect
our people in the enjoyment of their present
postal facilities, until other arra igcments shall
be made by treaty or otherwise. ^The Express
Companies, I am under the impression, could
ai ord no facilities to supply the void which
would be created by the destruction of the
present syste u. It would be a violation of the
Post Office laws of the United States for these
com »i to convey mail matter within the
limb. of the United States, and thus you
perceive, that if you destroy the existing postal
arrangements, before you^ye in a situation to
establish othe s, you at orce cut off our people
from all communication with the rest of the
world.
I have said that I address you at the sacrifice
of much feeling, and manifestly so. But having
done, what seemed to'me right, proper aud pa
triotic, I leave -he consequences to Him who
directs all things.
A State Rights man.from my youth upwards,
and a Southern Rights man whenever the rights
and honor of my section deru* aded, I submit
the above for your consideration, aud shall
cheerfully obey, whatever order, decree, or di
rection you may make.
My allegiance aud obedience are due to Geor
gia, and invoking the blessing end direction of
Heaven on yoar ueliberations, •
I have the honor to be, your obedient servant,
Solomon Cohen.
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 10,1861.
The above communication was referred to
the Committee on Commercial and Postal
Affairs.
Mr. Thomas Cobb oflercd the following:
AN ORDINANCE,
To provide for the execution of sentences pass
ed bv the Courts of the Uuited States within
the limits of the State of Georgia, and for the
execution of process issued by the same
courts, and to preserve indictments.
The people of Georgia, through tfieir dele-
crates in Convention assembled, do hereby de
clare and ordain, that all persons now confined
in the Penitentiary of this State, under sen
tence upon conviction for crime, by any con;
of the late United States, for the District of
Georgia, shall continue in such imprisonment
until the full execution of such sentence shall
have been accomplished, in the same manner
as if the Ordinance of Secession had not been
PS And it is further declared and ordained by the
authorities aforsesaid, that all persons now ar
rested or confined in the jails of this State, un
der process from the said courts of the late
United States,shall not be released or discharged
by reason of the said ordinance, but shall con—
Mr. Cobb, objected to the printing at present,
and any action that would cause delay in the
passage of the Ordinance. He said he had con
versed with eminent jurists on the subject, and Per “ScHnlurgh. 1 '
they concurred with him in the legal opinion
that there were many convicts now in the peui
tentiary, and other persons in prison and under
bonds to the United States Government, who
could now be "relieved by the writ of habeas
corpus, as the State of Georgia had abrogated
the operation of all federal laws withiu its
limits.
J -dge Warner said he objected to the Ordin
ance, because it was of a legislative character.
This Conventiou could not act as a legislative
body, for the organic iaw, the Constitution of
the State, in the first and second sections of
that instrument, clearly marked out the powers
of every department of the (government. The
firs^seetiou says that the Lei^iafure,.Executive
and Judiciary Departments of Government,
shall be distinct, and each department shall be
confided to a separate body of magistracy; and
uo person or collection of persons, being of
one of those departments, shall exercise any
powers properly attached to either of ihe others,
except in the instances herein expressly per
mitted; and the second section siiys, “the leg
islative power shall be vested in two separate
and distinct branches, to wit: a Senate and
House of Representatives, to be styled the
General Assembly.” He therefore objected to
the exercise of any legislative power by the
Convention, as the Constitution of the State ex
pressly provides a way for legislative action to
be-effected. 5
Mr. Cobb replied to the points taken by
Judge Warner, aud said that the powers about
to be exercised by >his Convention had been
delegated to the Federal Government, and now
were resumed by Georgia. He continued at
some length in an able legal argument to sus
tain the right and -poticy of adopting the Or-'
dinanee. -%
-Mr. Hill, of Troup, said that in this Govern
ment all power resides in the people, and that
they only act by a Convention or a Legislature.
He regarded this Convention as superior in
power to the Constitution of the Slate, and
there could be no doubt about the right of ihe
Convention to legislate on all matters rendered
necessary by the secession of the State of
Georgia from the Federal Union.
Judge Warner admitted the power, but said
this Convention should repeal the clauses in
the Constitution of the State which prohibit
its present exercise.
Mr. Hill replied by stating that this Conven
tion is the representative of the supreme power
of the State, and all its acts,ordinances or laws,
most be recognized by the Conns of the
State.
Other gentlemen engaged in the debate, and
I am sorry to say, ihat I have not time to give
even an abstract of their remarks.
The ordinance was adopted by a large ma
jority.
As soon as the foregoing ordinance was de
clared adopted.
Mr. Cobb offered the following :

AN ORDINANCE.
To declare and continue iu force in this State,
sundry laws of the United States of America,
in reference to the African slave trade.
The people of Georgia, in Convention as
sembled, do hereby declare and ordaiu, that all
the laws passed by the Congress of the late U.
States of America, and in force in this State,
prior to the 19th day of January, 1861, except
the 5th section of the act of 10th of May, 1800,
be, aud the same are hereby ordained, to be in
full force in this State, provided, the same shall
not be construed to extend to the importation
of negro slaves from any one of the slavchold-
tng Slates of the late United States of America,
or from either of the independent Republics
of s.»uth Carolina, Alabama, Florida or‘Missis
sippi.
He it further ordained and declared, that the
Governor of Georgia shall discharge all the du
ties required by said law's of the President of
the United States, and that tlio Attorney or So
licitor General of the Judicial District, where
the case arises, shall discharge all the duties re
quired of the District Attorney, and the Sheriff
of the county,all the duties required of the Mar
shal.
Be it further < rdained, that the State of Geor
gia shall be substituted for the United States,
in every x>ortion of the laws where the substitu
tion is' required by 'the present independent
condition of said State.
Mr. Cobb stated that he desired that the.
ordinance about the African Slave Trade should
be promptly passed, in order to satisfy the
world that the people of Georgia had not dis
solved their political connection with the
Federal Uuion for the purpose of rc-opeuing o r
encouraging others to re-open the African Slave
Trade.
Mr. Shropshire, of Floyd, ;isked whether
Africans introduced into Georgia from other
seceded States would be a violation of the
laws re-enacted by the ordinance just offered.
Mr. Cobb said it would not.
Mr. Styles, of Ware, objected to that portion
of the laws which declare the slave trade
piracy.
Mr. Chastain was in favor of re-opening the
slave trade, at leusr we inferred so from his re
marks.
The ordinance was made the special order for
Wednesday.
Mr. Bartow moved that committees (of fire
each) be appointed on printing, enrollments
aud on accounts.
Mr. Cobb offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Committee on foreign af
fairs (when appointed) be requested to nomi
nate to this Convention, for its ratification, the
names of two proper persons to represent the
State of Georgia, as Commissioners to the Con
ventions of the people of the States of Louis
iana and Texas, respectively.
Resolved, further, That the same Committee
be requested to consider and report upon the
ropriety of requesting those slavehoiding
tates which shall not have seceded by the 4th
day of February next, to appoint Commission
ers to represent such States at the Congrers of
the seceding states, to be held iu Montgomery
q* that day.
This resolution was referred to the Commit
tee on foreign aflilirs.
Mr.. Toombs, Chairman of the Committee on
foreign affairs, reported the names of Wm. J.
Yason, Esq., of Richmond, as Commissioner
to the Sta.te of Louisiana, and Gen. John W. A.
Sandford, of Baldwin, as the Commissioner to
the State of Texas.
The report was unanimously adopted.
An ordinance offered by Judge Fleming, was
referred to the committee on the Constitution
of the State. The ordinance provides the
mode in Ahich the acts, records and judicial
proceedings in each of the States, lately com
posing the Union, known as the United States
of America, and the records and exemplifica
tions of office books which are or may be kept
in any public office, of any such State, not per
taining to a court,shall be authenticated so as to
take effect in the State of Georgia.
I have given you a fair report of the business
transacted to-day, although reporters have no
facilities- extended to them during the session.
The Secretaries, Messrs. Lamar and Steele,
arc as courteous as can be desired, and, after
the session, extend every facility in their power
to reporters.
Milledgeville, on Monday night, was in a
blaze of glorious"and unanimous jollification.
Immense torchlight processions, almost a gen
eral illumination, music, military turn-outs, and
eve.ything that could add to and intensify a de
monstration. But I must close.

Liverpool, January 2nd, 18CL
Another year has come to a close, and It may be use
ful as well sb Interesting to observe what has been
done during that period.
January opened with fears ol French invasion, which,
however, were allayed by the arrival of Lord Cowley,
in London. On the 24th, Her Majesty opened Parlia
ment, and great things were promised.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer delivered himself of
his splendid Budget on the 10th of February, and it
was during this month that the clouds began to gather
over Italy.
On the 7lh of M arch, the Queen graciously received
the officers of volunteer corps, at a-Ievee. On the 12tli,
the bill for the abolition of the duty on paper, was read
n second time, notwithstanding the thunders of the
Times.
During this month the Emperor of the French an
nexed Savoy—a t.lack spot in his history.
It is worth noting, that in April, I860, gentlemen
in and out of Pailiament presented to one Tom Say
ers, a prize-fighter, a handsome testimonial, he having
evinced extraordinary bull dog’s courage iu a brutal
battle with an Irish-Amcrican named Heeuan.
On the 9th of May, Joseph Garibaldi, left his Island
home ofCapreara. with 1S00 men, 24 cannon and two
small steamers—his intention being to free Italy from
South to North—which he did.
June was Witness of the Pope’s Irish sympathetic
brigade, and of them it can only be said, that they first
went up the hill, and then came down.
The “Great Eastern,” or the “Great Failure,”
made her first trip across the Atlantic in this month,
and the Queeu reviewed 20,600 British volunteers in
Hyde Park, much to the chagrin ot the French Press,
though ihey laughed at the fuss made about such a
handful of men. They forgot that in Hyde Park, on the
28d June, stood 20,000 gentlemen, in arms.
On the 2th of July, the Prince of Wales left our
shores for a tour in Canada and the United States.—
The result proved highly satisfactojy to the English
nation, and must have been so to himself and his illus
trious mother.
News of the massacres in Syria, came to hand this
month. The French immediately despatched 0,000
troops. They were to reniaoi six months, but it is
doubtful if they will ever return
In August, we had our Defence Bill passed, and the
Queen reviewed *22,0000 Scottish volunteers in their
capital.
September was a month of increasing anxiety as to
the grain crops of this country, which anxiety proved
too well founded, and we were apprised of the loss of
the “Lady Elgin,*'' with Mrs. Henry Ingram on
board.
October will be remembered in Liverpool as the
month in which one of her merchants presented to the ;
town a free public library, which cost him .€40,000.— ;
There was a Warsaw Conference which resulted in j
nothing, and we were advised of the capture by the
Allies, of the Taku forts in China.
In November, Garibaldi retired to Capreara, the
Prince of Wale? returned to Engiaml after a long and
tedious passage, and the Empress of the French made
a private tour through Scotland and EnglamVffor her
health. The Commercial Treaty between England
and France, received the final signatures, and we
were advised from the United States that Air. Lincoln
had been elected Pretident in lieu of Mr. Buchanan,
and that serious results were apprehended.
December was remarkable for very free talk upon
American politics—a subject previously unknown, or
if known, quite uninteresting enough to be avoided in
tills country ; for the free press in France and the Ab
olition of the passport sjsicm there as far as English
men is concerned, and for the cheering news that peace
had been forced upon the Empire of China, in a man
ner which, they are unlikely to forget.
During the year the weather has been very unseason
able, and death has been busy ; we miss our Macaulay
and our Captain Hamaon, Sir Charles Barry, Sir Wil
liam Ross, Washington Irving, G. P. It. James, Albert
Smith, Robert Wrougb, Sir Henry Ward, Charles Na
pier, Lord Dundonald,, Jam js Wileon, Lord Dolhon-
sie, Lord Aberdeeu and many other eminent men.
But the old heads of ouc houses of Parliament stil*
stand like marble monuments, aud long may they b«
among us to witness the happy results of long lives
spent in the service ot* a Queen and country so de
serving.
As for the political prospects of 1361—this only cat*
be said: that England is on friendly terms with the
whole world, and has no wars in contemplation, that
Venetia and perhaps Hungary will be subjects for war
during the spring, but that all depends upon the Em
peror of the French and his few words of yesterday,
throw us light on the subject,zb was expected; that we
look to good Bense of the people of the United States,
to preserve the Union, but that, in the event of abrogc-
tion, you must remember Ilia’ the sympathies of Great
Britain aro with the one and its interest with the other.

Since writing you per Edingburgh we have no ar
rivals from vour side, the Vigo and Boaemi&n will be

The Times continues to comment upon the Ameri
can question, and its leader of to-day is., perhaps, the
most able and most logical that it has produced
upon the subject. Mr. Woods is believed to write most
of them.
The news from the continent, as it comes to us daily
in the hundred and one telegrams, and thousand and
one letters of correspondents, contains so much of con
jecture that It is difficult, if cot absolutely impossible,
to arrive at the truth.
However, about this there is no doubt—the King of
Prussia is dead at last, and William V. reigns in his
stead.
The Queen of Naples left Gaeta being on the point Of
her confinement, and it just occurs to me tUte same
all-sufficient excuse may necessitate bis Ex-Majes
ty’s departure.
As you are aware, the Bank of England rate w s on
Monday raised from 5 to 6 per cent, and this was fol
lowed on "Wednesday by tbe Bank of Franco raising
their rate from 4j£ to per cent. The latter meas
ure was in this country considered quite satisfactory,
while with regard to the former, although there were
no two opinions as to the constant drain lor the United
States, a good many thought (and I thought with
them) that it would have been prudent to wait the ef
fect of the Prusia’s arrival in New York.
The rate ot six per cent is not likely to interfere with
the shipments that are now being made, which are
not speculative, but compulsory. The notes must be
laid hold of at any cost, in accordance with orders from
your side, which in many instances are to this effect,
, that the bills of exchange are to be discounted and the
amount returned in gold.
The reported requirements ot* the Bank of France
have not been confirmed, and consols which had
touched92# have rallied to92 s e , in consequence.
Cotton—The sales for three days—Monday, Wednes
day and Thursday, sum up 22,890 bales, 19,490 of which
are for consumption, 1,040 for speculation and 1,760
for export Quotations are lowered to T 5-16d., 7 3-16d.
and 7 l-16d. for Middling. The stock now exceeds that
of last year by but 8,000 bales, and there are at sea
220,000 against 209,(00 same time last year.
The effect of the Bix percent on holders, lias been,
that they have overlooked distant prospects and taken
willingly the goods the gods provide.
Tho altendancepf spinners has been spare, and spec
ulators have almost retired. This was a natural con
sequence of the late immense transactions, particularly
when the state of the money market was taken into
account.
The best joke of the season is, no doubt, the syn*pa*
thy which you have been offering us in advance, sup
posing as jou did that your trouble would be our trou
ble, if not more severely. There is no doubt of the
fact, that idisruption of the Union will be the best thing
for Liverpool, if it is done peaceably, and the southern
States will be as dependent on Liverpool as Liverpool
is upon them.
It is every way probable that the quiet now ruling in
the cotton market will continue until things shake
themselves into position again.
The prospects for cotton have induced large orders,
and a good many go out by this mail. We are told that
middling has been bought in Texas at 8><fc.
Manchester is quieter to-day.no doubt influenced by
this market, but a decline ol any consequence tlyre
would cause large shipments to the East.
Surnts are not lower. Most ot the stock is held for
higher prices. The error in stock was aejountod for
by railroad imports from London, which had never
been calculated.
Sea Islands and Egyptians are without change.
The weather continues cold, with a low temperature.
Wind N. E., light.
The Europe is the next Cunard bout due, and she
sails for Halifax aud Boston on the 12th inst.
Saturday, 5th January.
Consols declined to on Indian loan and bank re
turns, which are quite unfavorable: close somewhat
better at 5-16 a 7-16. Money easier.

"■Monarchy fob the South.—The Liverpool

man in Mobile. The following is an extract :
“I hope Queen Victoria will lend us twenty
or thirty ol her men of war ships to assist our
commerce. If she keeps good faith with us
there is no tellinjr what might happen. I
would not be surprised to see a good, sound,
constitutional monarchy here in three more
years. We are a republican aristocracy al-
ready, and sooner than allot? the country to be, ^ TheTimes’ Paris correspondent reports that theEng-
destroyed by emancipation of the ue^re, we

Milledgeville, Jan. 23d.—The Convention has
determined to elect, at noon to-morrow, ten delegates
to tho Southern Convention, to meet at Montgomery on
the 4th of February. The members will be instructed*
and all the southern States will be invited to send dele
gates.
The special order, to wit: the Ordinance with re
gard tu the Alrican Slave Trude, was amended, by de
claring the trade not piracy, and substituting imprison
ment in the penitentiary, in piace of death, for viola
tions of the federal laws. The Ordinance was then
passed unanimously.
Mr. Hill, of Troup, offered an Ordinance, which was
referred, providing for a continuance of the present
postal, revenue, aud. other laws; the observance of
treaties, Ac., until we shall have organized another
government to take the place of the old one.
Judge Benning offered an Ordinance continuing in
operation the laws concerning the inier-State slave
trade; also, a resolution relative to the appointment of
Commissioners toali the slaveholding States.
Mr. Cobb introduced an ordinance revoking the
federal jurisdiction over a.l lands ceded by the State,
and authorizing payment by the State for fortifications,
arsenals and all implemoats and stores. The ordinance
lies over.
Many rumors are afloat about representatives to the
Montgomery Convention; it is generally conceded
that Robert Toombs and Howell Cobb, will be 6ent
from the State at large. There is much perplexity
about the delegates, and no regard is paid to our late
members of Congress.
A general satisfaction is expressed with the unanl
mous passage of the Anti-Slave Trade ordinance.
it has been raining here the entire day aud night.
