Hi* Company is entirely different from both those of The prereeding years, with the exception of Mr. Msdison, and, if we may judge from the Sa vannah papers, decidedly a superior one. It has been expected, for some time past, that the celebrated vocalists. Miss SiiiHHxrp and Mr. Wilson, Would visit our city. We arc much gratified to learn that they will be here, next week, and have already engaged the public room of the Masonic Hull, for their Ci ncerts. The lovers of music may anticipate a rare treat. Miss Shirreff has attained the highest celebrity, both in England aud ibis country : and Mr. Wilson, to say nothing of bis powers in other icspects, has the reputation of singing the delightful melo dies of Scotland, iu greater perfection than any other performer of the iky. Under existing cir onmstwces, we can conceive of no species of en tertainment, aa veil suited to our community, as the soothing, melting strains from the “land of the mountain sud the Hood and wo trust the public will show, by their general attendance at these Concert*. *liat they agree with us. P. S. —Since the above was in type, we have teoeiwed a notice (which see in our advertising column*,) that they will perform on Monday evening next. •Ini port mil Developcnicnt. An editorial article in the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, of the 20th instant, in relation to a charge against the house of Baring, Brothers and C0.,0f London, former agents of the Bank of the United Slates, deeply involving the honor of that house, has excited great sensation among the mo nied and commercial classes of New \ nrk. The J substance of this charge i«, contained in the lid- ( lowing statement from that paper;— i We charge .that, on the 23d of August, Da- ’ ring, Brothers & Co., after being in for moil by 1 Mr Jaudon, on the COth of August, that ho ; would require some half million sterling on the f 36th, and being assured by litem there would be 1 4io difficulty in raising it upon the Slate slocks, 1 Ac., otfared as security—addressing a letter to 1 their agent in this country, divulging the fact, v that such applications had been made, declaring j 1 (heir determination not to aid him, and nnnounc- { 1 mg that he must inevitably fail on the 20th. I I W e now reiterate the charge ; and to exhibit j•’ the disgraceful conduct ol this house towards the | n Dank of the United States, we state further, that \ s a merchant of this city shipped a aluable cargo j v to St. IVutrsb.irgh, Russia, with orders to remit j I the proceeds without delay to Mr. Jaudon in * Loudon, to meet his engagement with the Bank 11 of the United States or its agency in that ci:y. ' The cargo unived in due lu.ie, and was dis- ' posed of agreeably to the orders ol the shipper ; 11 but he agent or consignee in St. Petersburg!! lias advised the house here that he has not re- ' milled the funds as directed, because letters have r been received in •'■it.

Wasuinoton. December 20. The New Jersey question is still ncforc the House, and 1 am sorry to lie obliged to retract the opinion I gave last night, that we were, at last, in sight of land. The House appears to be dispos ed, maugre the decision of the Speaker, to let the debate goon. Mr. Adams hud lea<c to day to speak on the general topic of the right of the New Jersey men to their seats, and it is now under stood that every gentleman who please* may fol low in the same track. The debate may indeed be endless, for it consists merely of the repetition of the same arguments and same facts. Mr. Adams attempted to prove that it was the duty of the Speaker to qualify tie members from New Jer sey, and that it was not in the constitutional power of the House to deprive any portion of the I people ol tlic Unite Stales of a representation. The House, ho said, could “ Judt'e ” of the re turns and elections, Ac. of its members; but the term to judge, implied evidence, and investiga tion, and a legal proceeding, not a mere arbitrary party vole such as we had determined the ques tion by. He dwell much on tho eonxiatency of his resolution ol the last seasion, with Imp enrol views. Mr. Rhelt followed, and spoke at more length, in reply to Mr. Wise, and in vindication of his course on this subject. He argued that this was a House, with all the judicial powers of a House, on the subject of elections, before the Speaker was chosen, and that the House had, be fore the election of Speaker, acted judicially on this question. The question was therefore, deci ded—or as he had before contended, it wiu “ res adjudicuia." He defended himself from Mr. Wise’s imputation of inconsistency, and retorted that charge upon his course in this mutter. Mr. Bell has declared the opinion, that, the rules of the House not having been adopted, the previous question may tic entertained under the law of Parliament, (as the Speaker has decided,) hut that, under the law of Parliament, an amend ment may be moved to the motion for the pre vious question, and ii|>on it the debate continued tid-in/mHum. Mr. Bell’s opinion is, that neither the Speaker nor the House can put u limit to the range, or the continuance of {the debate. Parlia ments could never have existed under so absurd u principle ns that. WvsniNiiToN, Pec. 21. At length, the New Jersey qustion has been again settled. This desirable result was obtained at a late hour, last evening, after a very warm de bate, and much confusion. The ardor ol discus sion has not at all diminished, nod many, on both sides of the question, attempted to get the floor wmin Mr. Rhelt concluded hit remarks. (Ques tions of order, piled one upon another for a long time perplexed the House. Mr. Evans, of Maine. «t last obtained the floor, and offered a re solution that the members of the 26th Congress, here picsent, do advise and request the speaker to administer the oath of qualification those members from New Jersey who have the regular certificates, and have presented themselves to be sworn. Mr. Evans spoke in support of this re solution very earnestly. There wns n scufllo for tho floor after him. Fortunately it was obtained by Mr. Sherrod Williams, of Ky., who rose to make a speech in support of the resolution. But he proposed, with the assent of the House, tour rest the discussion and lake a direct vote on the | resolution of Mr. Evans. He appealed to the good sense of the House to arrest the debate, whieh, he said, made no converts for the cause of the New Jersey members, and was detrimental to the interests of the country, which required the speedy organization of this House. The House assented, and a call being ordered, the attendance of absentees was obtained, and the resolution above recited, was rejected—yeas 112, nays 1)6. Some members bad paired oil’; Mr. Thomas was sick at his lodgings, and Mr. Kempshall had not arrived. Mr. Ilollimtn then moved that the rules of the last House lie adopted (dr the govern ment of this, wuh the exception of tho 11 lit rule, which requires all elections in the House to he , made viva voce, instead of by linlloi. The viva Vote system was introduced last year, for the first time, by a vote of 129 to 90. It was fust propos ed in 1834-5, when Mr. Bell was the speaker, and rejected. A warm debate took place on the I subject, lust evening, commenced by Mr. Bell, ’ who appealed to the Slate Right's men, uud es pecially to Mr. Pickens, who thought (as Mr. Pickens lately said) that there had been “an over action of the Executive Deparlm- lit of this Oo vernmmt,” to oppose the viva voce system, whieh was introduced by the friends of the Executive, and held over this House as u whip to lush mem bers up to their duty. Mr. Pickens, in reply, was glad, ho said, that the gentleman had refer red to the time when the viva vuci: system was attempted to ba introduced. It was at a time when a tremendo is influence wasexerted on this House by the Executive, and when the gentle man was a prominent leader of that parly which sudporled the Executive. He, (Mr. Pickens) then opposed the proposition, as a part of the system, by which it was attempted to break down the independence of this House, and he should oppose it now. Mr. Pickens, said, however, that there were other influences felt in this house tie sides the Executive influence. The combi nation at lliimsbutg, of the Banking influence, and an other influence whieh he would not now name, might be deeply felt in this House. The debate oil this subject was resumed to-day. Some contended that the ballot system was the most independent; that it served to exclude par ty organization from the House ; that it was the original and constitutional mode ; and that it had been departed from, not at the instance of the people, but of party leaders and executive cham pions. It is doubtful whether the House will complete its organization to-day, so as to enable tbe Presi dent to communicate the Message on Monday. P. H.—The House has adopted the rules, in : eluding the 12th rule, and is about to complete I its organization by electing a Clerk, Ac. The I Message will certainly be delivered on Monday. Washiniitox, December 22. 1 Messrs. Stanley and lloll’inan yesterday gave notice that they would introduce a motion to give out the public printing by contract, and that per sons offering to sxeculc it for the lowest prices should be chosen. This rule if adopted hereaf- I lor, will soon render the oflice ol Printer not worth having. It is not quite certain that wo shall have the Message to-morrow, ns the Committee to act with the Senate has not yet been appointed, and >v i» supposed they will n i lie ready to wait on the President until about 2 P. M., and as tbe practice is generally, to have the document at 12, some of tbe members think it will not be sent in before Tuesday next. Mr. A an Huron expresses himself very freely on the misconduct of the House, in thus detain ing the business of the nation, and it is supposed that lie will suggest the passage of some law. by which an occurrence of such scenes as we have experienced during the past three weeks will bo prevented hereafter. The (ilolie of Saturday last, says—The House of Representative* accomplished its organization to day, to tar as to lie ready for the reception of the President’s Message. Mr. Garland was re elected Clerk. The vole stood for Mr. Garland, 118; Matthew St Cl iir Clarke, 105 ; Mr. R. U. Mason, 8. Mr. Dorsey was re-elected Sergeant al-Atms, by a vote of 141, over Dr. Jones, who received 76. The principal part of the day was occupied io an attempt, on the part of the leaders of the Op position. to expunge the rule requiring the vote in election* of the House to be viva voce. The proposition wa* lost by • large majority. The \ rule* were then adopted at they stood ai the law session, ami a resolution carried to elect the e officer* of tl*; House. 'J’he execution of ihe rc e solution was suspended, as to the election of Scr a geant-at-Arm* and Printer, until Monday. e State Rights’ Meeting. “ MILLEDr.KVILLE, Dec. 17lh, 1839. v Agreeably to previous notice, a numerous ■ meeting of the State Kiohts pautt was held ■ at the Hotel of Beecher & Brown; the meeting e , i was organised by calling General J.

Pile sooner the question of the New Jersey mem hers is disposed of, the idler it will lie for the country. If that State is to bo expunged, and the members sent home, a new eleetion will lie forthwith authorised, and we have no apprehen sion that by February the Whig members will he again in their places; that is, before the plans ot the administration can he consummated. As to the character of the message, we arc officially informed, by the New Era, No. 2, that it will highly please “Ihe true radical dcmaeraci/.'' The National Intelligencer of the 2Lst says: 'Phis is the lust day of the third week of the ses sion ol Congress, ami, owing to a continuation of the controversy which began on the first day concerning the representation from New Jersey, the House is not yet organized for the transac tion ol business. A speaker has indeed been chosen, hut that is the only step that has been taken in the usual order of proceedings at the opening of the session. The debate was continued last night until 7 II o’clock, when the final question was taken, and the House, by a vote of 110 to 112, decided that j the five members from New Jersey, having the credentials of the Governor of the Stale, should should not be admitted and sworn in as members [ of the House.
