Our increased labor* of late attendant upon the li.ue of a Weekly paper have allowed us no leisure to writ* on this subject, Ulit we shall he able in a few days to present our views to the readers of the Georgian. All must acknowledge the necessity of reduction in the number of hmli branches of uur General Assembly In the next Legislature there will bo under tho Isle Count*, 300 members, whose daily compensation, al lowing five dollars for 55 days (the duration of last #es ston) will requite 382,500 from the Slate Tronsury, be sides the contingent oxpcm>es of clerk* and other offi cers, statjnnaty. An. The great expense of this multitude nflegUUtorsl* a sufficient inducement to arouse the people to the ne ccssiiy of reduction, but if they consider that a do crease of member* will.probably, lead to more ini- |ionant result* they cannot but bo sensible of the ne- washy of a change. The house with about 180 mem bers (according to the previous census) was found an unwieldy body for the transaction of business, although at many periods of the session thcro were as many as forty members absent at home and elsewhero attending to private business- Reduce the number and we contend that tlte inter ests of the State will be promoted, while the reapotui bility of the members will be increased. ,We are not among those few whn believe that there ia more dan ger that a smaller number wijl he more liable to the influence ol corruption, for wo do not believe, in the first place, that there is so little virtue in the people that their Representatives from their midst would be liahlo to the control of the. designing, and even if such were the case, the evil is otto which can bo corrected at the polls, if not crushed in the bud by the virtuona and independent, in the Halls of the Legislature.

THE WEATHER. The 4th of March seems marked in the calendar for extraordinary changes. The closing of the three Con grease* of'35, '37 and ’39 have all been signalized by the phenomenon of a fait of snow in Charleston. The change yesterday from the temperature of the preened- lag day, as an unexpected a* unwelcome. Thedlf- i Jizrenee of temperature between Sunday morning and Monday, could not be leas than 33 degrees, deeprned }a effect too by the transition from bright sunshine to the gloom of a sleet and snow storm.

The Upper Steam Mill, above the town, now owned by Messrs. TunNF.it A Jnll.v-TON are in successful opera- inn, and we know that tltn mill is oipnble of supplying the most extensive order*. Tito Lower Steam Mill lias been recently purchaned by S. U. JEWETT. Esq., iff the Georgia Lumber Company, and will soon be able to meet the demands for siwed lumber. Mr. .1 kwett in very extensively known, ns the most uclive and en terprising agent of the Company located at Lumber City, in Telfair rounty, formerly known as Flournoy's Mills. Under his auspic s, we have no doubt the' lower mill will become a very profitable and thriving establishment. Among other improvements, wo may notice the art, that a fine new steamboat plies between .Darien and Lumber City constantly, she is called tlte Simeon B. JtWKit, and belong* to the Georgia Lutn. her Company. The aervic s that tilts Company has rendered to the comities bordering nn the Alntamaha, nre incalculable. Numbers are now employtd in their works, who npw.r a day’s labour Many young men.Trt Indigent circumstances, who wanted every tiling but bread, which in our country- it ia scarcely possible t • want, now join with tlte nor thern labourer . employed there, am! have become diligent and anxious to learn. The consequence is, that n great improvement i* taking place in the habits of the population. Ci.ee Mollies* end industry generally walk hand in hand ; and many whu, three or Tour years ago, had ne er earned a dollar, have now, by tlieir own exertion*, become possessed of sums which to them, nro little fortunes 5 and have settled down a use ful members of society. Much, if not the whole of this change, is dun to the Georgia Lumber Company; and such establishments deserve well of the 8t te at large. Our fine rivers and inland streams, offer great in* dneomeut* lor the erection of machinery, worked by water (tower, nnd the vast forextt of pine lumber which we have yet umouclteJ, affords a wide field o the capitalist. We have been informed that tlte orders for lumber which the Georgia Lumber Company has to fill during the current year, will bring at least 100 sail of foreign and native vessels to tlte port of Darimi. and this must, of course, greatly add to tl>e importance of tit t place We know the place well, and all its resources, nnd speak confidently when we say, that Darien must yet three itself un the < ttetttion of tlte State. It has great mutual advantages, which if properly used, and brought to light, must ensure it distinction, We Lelies lu her market, Darien will shortly be superior o any port in 1I10 South, nnd thin alone must make itconspi cuouft. A# wo have remaiked before, the prosperity of tltu whole State is Hear to us, and that of Darien, as inti- mately wound up with nur own Savann h.especially so. and we shall lose no opportunity fpi easing oil nur res' dera the legitimate claims of that jil.ee to t..e attention of the citizens of Georgia. AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN. The frieudly rel.ui ms that have existed between the English Government and that of tlte United Sues fur a series of years, is unw, ui cuusequeuca of the utt- settlement of tne Maine Boundary’Question, inpucpsl danger of interruption. It is then, worth our while to bestow a few rellecituus on the leciing that animates the penp.e of built countries, who are of one common descent, who ape k tlte same language, and whose habits mid inmi.ier* differ but very hltte. At the lime ill winch we write, me most kindly spirit exists in tins country towards me English pe pie. With the exception of u few turhuieiit individua.* un our frontiers, who have nothing to wise, and every thing lo gain by a rupture with me Canadian authorities, fro North to .South, front East to West,nfourexto .tied do main, a strong feeling of I'rien .shiji^evuils for the na tives of the United Kingdom, nnd tier dependencies. Tnis is exemplified by me courtesy tliatis invuna-ly ex tended to English travellers, end me reudiness with which the rights and pri iieges of citizenship are con ferred on ah who desire to live under me paternal away of our free government. Indeed, it has been said, thai^Aliter.cutis urc too prone to make much of strangers—that they too frequently open their minds in every travelling foreigner, woo lias no sympathy with them 01 their ltiililutious. But, while we admit the tact, we do not set it down us a fault. It is a pari of tlte national character to lie generous and confiding, as the truly brave ever are—to demand nothing hut wlta t J* right—to submit lo mulling that is wrong. What if sume hull'dozen Tkollopcls, or Halls, or HaUIL- tons, or FlDDLeus, did abuse uur conriiejce, and en deavour to caricature us! Why, a fig for them! They mixed up much truth with a great deal of tsiseuuod; ami, if they will, luey taught us better msimeis. Wo are not out enough as a country, to have teamed to eat, to to)*, to want, and ride, by ru.e peruupi, but wuen we have attained out full age, from the promise we already give, there is very tittle doubt we may equal- at least, if nut excel, our masters.

On visiting the new rooms of this society, the other Hay, wa were much struck with the excellent arrange- menu that prevailed throughout the apartments. A gteat improvement has taken place in this institution, and the change is worthy of notice. During tlte year ending February 1.3,1838, but 500 volumes were taken out to lead 1 and die library was only opened during two huurs, twice a week No addition in the way of new works was made to the library during tho year. Tlte cuuses liiat operated most strongly against tho prosperity of the institution,was iu funner inconvenient location in a suburb of llie city, and also the abort time it waa kept open during die week. As might he expected, the society fell into debt, and in Februnry, 183d, it owed 4487 591 and very few strangers visited it during that year. The removal of the library lo iu present rentral sit- nation, in Whitaker street, near the Boy, ha* greotly advanced it* interests. Besides, a new spirit seem* to ltn ve beeu instil.ed in its memln rs, and they have cum meticedtlic work of renovation wiiha hearty good will- Tne first room entered is the reading room, which is accessible to stranger* on die introduction of amiemher who record* their names in a book kept for tlte purpose, and during the last year it was visited by 245 non real- denu. Theliorary is kept in an adjoining room of very large dimensions, and both rooms are neatly furnished- with good fires itt them. A fine statue of die Venus de Medici, prenentrd to the society, adorns the rending room, [t is an exquisite work of art, and a visit to die rouiti would be well repaid by a view of it alone. In tho library, there are busU of Milton, Locke, Ac. like- wise gilts to the society, and every thing is tastefully and classically arranged. The members have increased, nnd there are now seventy members and forty two subscribers. There were 1609 volumes issued during the Lit year, allow ing an inuteaseof 1109 on the farmer year. There list also been nn addition to the library of 290 new wurks, and it now contains 4000 volumes.

With jarge support, Savannah can have a library that tnay be compared with other cities; and we believe that it ta only ueceaaary to draw dm notice of tlte public, to the nucleus already formed, to increase it tenfold.

The snlc# of the week ending the 1st inst. were only 19,200 halos, nf which 5,700 were taken hy speculators, and since then, the demand has beon on tho auine diminished scale. Spinner# and manufacturers complain that they have n bad irsdu in Yarn# ami Goods, tlte stocks orwhich are accumulating mid that llioy are cariying on busi ness to a considerable loss while cotton continues so high; they therefore mo only purchase sparingly, but iu some instances nre #burienin^ their hours of work. Several spinners aro now working only eight hours a day instead nf twelve, which ofcourso materially les sens lit# consumption. Holders of cotton do not at present feel disposed to give way in price, under the impression that your crop will prove n short one, but we doubt if price# can be supported when supplies come Toward more freely.
