tion possible, relative to the value of the assets
of the Central Bank, and that they be requested
to report as early as possible.
Mr. Miller’s bill, to incorporate the Canal
Company at Augusta, was taken up.
Mr. Wofford proposed an amendment, hold
ing the Stockholders liable, as in cases of com
mon copartnership.
Mr. Miller moved to lay the amendment on
the table for the balance of the session. Mr,
Wofford thought the motion indicated personal
disrespect to himself. Mr. Miller explained,
staling that his only intention was to obtain a
test vote on the amendment. Mr. M’s motion
prevailed—yeas 20, nays 18.
Mr, Stell then “ rung in” his stereotyped
amendment, concerning individual liability.
At this point, Mr. Hackett moved to lay the
bill and amendments on the table. The motion
was lost—nays 26, yeas 13.
A motion was then made to adjourn till 3
o’clock in the afternoon, Mr, Hackett moved

fide purchaser,
Mr. WaS’s bill, to require the T-easurcr,
Marshall, and other city officers ot Savannah,
to be elected annually, instead of biennially,
was passed.
An idea seemed to prevail amonf the Whigs
that the recent Democratic defeat in Savannah
had some connection with the haste with which
this bill was urged to its passage. The repre
sentatives trom Chatham, however, disavowed
the remotest political or party designs in the
premises, and upon the suggestion of Messrs.
Harris and Owen, the Whigs concluded that
the action of the Senate on Mr. Kenan’s Mil
ledgeville bill, was totally unworthy of their
imitation. They therefore passed the bill, yeas
77, nays 35. Mark the contrast. It was a well
known fact, too, that if a few days could be al
lowed, by a postponement of the bill, that the
Whigs of Savannah would petition against its
passage
The House adjourned, to meet in the after
noon, for the purpose of reading bills a second
time.
I send you the new tax bill to-day, which I
am informed, meets the approbation of the Go
vernor, and, I trust, may meet yours. It still
adheres to the principle of taxing luxurious ap
pendages, such as gold and silver plate, gold
watches, &c. It proposes a sliding scale in
stead of a fixed rate of taxation for land and
real estate, to provide for the possible fulfilment
of a reasonable expectation, that the Federal
Government will pay her just indebtedness to
Georgia on account of Military claims. It also
makes it the duty of Tax Receivers, to return
their Digests to the Comptroller General, on or
before the Ist of July of each year, and provides
a penalty of one thousand dollars, in case of
failure to perform this duty. These are a lew
of the more prominent features of the bill.
Mr, Hentz, a member of the House, from
Baker county, died this evening of a pulmonary
disease, A.
Recall of Mr. Packenham.— The New-
York Journal of Commerce says; The state
ment copied by us a few days since, from the
Boston Post, that Mr. Packenham had been re
called by the British Government, is confirmed
by recently transpired. We learn from
various sources that the rejection by the British
Plenipotentiary of Mr. Polk’s proposition to es
tablish the 49th parallel of North latitude as the
boundary between the territories of the two
countries, so far from being in conformity with
positive instructions from home, is considered
by the British Government a false step in di
plomacy, and that Mr, Packenham has been re
called therefor and is now expecting the arrival
of his successor.

Important from Huenos Ayres.
The barque Chancellor, at New York, brings
advices from Buenos Ayres to 23d September,
The New York Herald says—
The intelligence received by this arrival is
importat, not only to those engaged in trade with
the Argentine Republic, but to the whole A
merican people; to all those, more especially,
who endorse the message ot Mr. Polk, relative
to the “balance of power” inlAmerica. It is-to !
be perceived that the English and French have
carried their interference in the affairs on this;
continent to a crisis, in actually blockading
Buenos Ayres, and all other ports belonging to
the Argentine confederation.
On the 21st of September, two days before
the Chancellor sailed, the commanding officers
of the English and French squadrons, posted a
bulletin in the commercial room, in Buenos
Ayres, declaring that port and all others belong
ing to the republic, under blockade after the
24th; that all vessels nrriwinpr afipr that date
should be ordered off, and all neutral vessels in
port should have fifteen days to discharge and
load. Should the blockading squadron allow
no more than fifteen days, it would be impossi
ble tor the ships in port, eleven of which were
American, to load, for the decree that Rosas had
issued a fortnight previous, compelled all the
inhabitants to drill from 4 to 6 P. M. which
lessened the hours of labor after the Custom
House closes in the afternoon.
The measure will be of serious injury to the
American merchants. Will it not be necessary
for our government to increase our naval force
in that vicinity.
In consequence of the steps taken by France
and England, Gov. Rosas, about the end of Au
gust, published a decree prohibiting ail commu
nication with the French and English vessels
of war under penalty of severe punishment.
A letter written at Buenos Ayres on the 22d
of Sept., and published in the N. Y. Journal of
Commerce, speaking of the blockading of Bue
nos Ayres, says;
It is understood here that the Hon. William
Brent, jr., United Stales Charge d’Affaires, will
protest against this illegal measure, as we’l as
any European armed intervention in the afiairs
of a sister South American Republic,

The corn market continues to rise and

ground, that before the end of the year with the

Among the passengers in the Cambria is
Professor Morse, the inventor of the electro
magnetic telegraph, who is the bearer ol verv
important despatches to Government Irom the
United States Legations in Prussia, Belgium
and England. Mr. Morse has in charge the
ratified treaty between Bavatia and the U
Stales, transmitted by Henry Wheaton, United
Stales Minister at Berlin; and also the propo
sed commercial treaty between Belgium and
the United States, He has also despatches for
the Department of State, and for the Post-
Master General, from Louis McLane,’ United
States Minister to England.
Rufus Prime, Esq., ol New York, is also a
passenger in the Cambria, and bearer of des
patched from the United Stales Legation in
Paris to the Department of State.
The Railway Speculations had very geneta’ly
subsided, and as the frauds and machinery of
the operators in fictitious stocks are more fully
developed, it appears that the aimnnt of money
actually diverted from the usual channels of
trade is extremely small. This circumstance
has, to some extent, tended to quiet the money
market.
The resignation es Marshal Soult has been
finally accepted. General Saint You has been
appointed his successor in the Ministry ot
War.
A rumor from Russia, which has obtained
little credit, states that Nicholas intends to ab
dicate in favor ol bis successor, and that when
be lelt St. Petersburg for Italy this had been re
solved upon.
The new Tariff ol the Zolverein has been
published, but has excited little attention in
England. As regards the United States, the
increased duties will not affect the importations.
The transit duties on Cotton have been reduced
i by the Hanoverian States.
The accounts Irvin Algiers show that the
French are still busy making the most ample
preparations for the subjugation of the inhabi
tants.
The King of the Belgians has been opening
<. . ...v— i.. v <>iimii uicuies men
tion of a commercial treaty with me United
States; but the details ot the treaty have not ap
peared. The state of the potato crop, and the
sufferings which, it is feared, the Belgians will
endure in consequence, are to be provided lor,
the King suggests, by employing the poor on
public works.
Meetings have been held in Ireland to take
into consideration the state of the potato crop of
the country, and resolutions were passed and
submitted to Sir R. Peel, asking lor the opening
of the ports ; to stop the distillation of grain,
and the granting ot a loan ol a million and a
half, to supply their present necessities.
The Cloth markets at Leeds and Hudders
field are not in such a healthy state as when
last reported; few goods are now changing
hands at the latter named place, but the price of
both goods and woo! remain steady. The re
port from Bradford states that the business
transacted there is but limited ; manufacturers
are acting with extreme caution, and reducing
the quantity brought to market. In the Flannel
market at Rochdale the demand is becoming
less, and prices are moving downward. The
Manchester trade is in a rather unfavorable po
sition ; prices arc much lower, and the demand
exceedingly limited, so that few sales have late
ly been effected.

An English paper says that every mile ot
railway takes eight acres ot Rood land, ine
1800 miles already existing, and 20.000 nine
