On motion of Mr. Lono, of Glynn, the rules of the Senate were suspended to allow the introduc tion of a bill adding the counties of Clinch, Wan; i harlton, and Appling, now of the Southern, to the Eastern Judicial Circuit. Mr. Camden, of Cherokee, called up his resolu tion prohibiting the introduction of new matter at- r the first day of February next, except by the consent oi two thirds of the Senate. The resolution was concurred in. The consideration of Judge Cone’s bill reducing the number of the Senate to thirty-three, one to be elected from each of Thirty-three districts hereafter to be organized, and providing for annual session* of the General Assembly, was resumed, as the un linished business of yesterday. 1 he day was spent in the discussion of tnis bill. It was considered by sections. r l he (question of reduction or no reduction of the Senatorial brancii was the first disposed of. Various plans for reduction were presented. The original proposed to have one Senator from each of UurG three Senatorial Districts. Mr. Miller, of Richmond, proposed to amend j by establishing twenty Senaturiel districts from I which two Senators were to be elected, one holding j his office two, and the other four years, so that one ; should be elected every two years. Mr. Bt cuah- j an s proposition was to make the State Senatorial j districts tlie same as the congressional, to elect ! six Senators from each, one third to get out every ! two years, their term of office to expire every six j years and thus require the election of two every | two years. These amendments were all voted ! down, the first part of the bill stricken out, and j the Constitution left standing as before. Tie i clause nt the bill providing for annual sessions i having been reached, a warm debate was opened j as to its necessity, advantages, inconveniences, and ] the terms upon which thev ought to be allowed. j Mr. Miller, of Richmond, moved to amend bv fix- ! mg the time of meeting on the first Wednesday in November, tiie session to continue forty days,"and j if protracted longer, the officers and members to ! receive but half pay. This amendment left the j elections as at present, biennial. Judge Cone offered to amend by providing for j < lections on the first Monday in October, of every | vear. lie supported his amendment with ability, j Popular elections should be frequently held. lie j thought them beneficial. Political excitement was j not to be avoided. Repose was incidental to de.-> j potisms; in Republics, the mass of the people ! thought much, and talked freely of political at- j fairs, it was right. Public meetings were held, ! public speaking had, political knowledge was dis seminated and the people w ere more able to oxer- j rise the powers which they more sensibly felt they > possessed. By frequent elections the opportunities to have a j ' true p-Hretion of public sentiment in the Legisla- ! live Halls were increased. Mr. Pool, of Hart, favored a limitation of the essiou to forty days, if annual sessions were to he i held. He deprecated many evils as the result of u i change without a limitation. He thought the time j limited in the amendment offered, was sufficiently long, and believed it was but right that this safe- ! guard should be thrown arouml the public inter- . c»ts. I Mr. Peeples, of Clarke, declared himself in fa vor of annual session, blit uncompromisingly hos tile to annual elections. It was Democratic to have the fullest expression of public opinions in elec tions. By bringing on all the important elections together, all political questions of magnitude would be involved, the largest numbers would be enlisted in going to the polls, and the public will more completely eliaited. He was opposed to political excitements. He thought the Legislature should be elected at the same time, and that their term shoull expire at the same time as the Governor. He believed the people were against it. No Grand Jury, or political meeting had recommended it. (When or where have anv recommended annua’ .which he favored?) No man outside of the Legislature had intimated or favored it. Not one. If Mr. Peeples will read a document, prim ed by order of the Senate for the use of the Sena tors, known as the Governor’s Message, he will see that Ilis Excellency "recommends a return to an nual sessions of the Genera! Assembly," that le thinks annual ■ hclion-i so far from being an evil "are important,” Ac. (See page ls.l Mr. Cox is, of Ball neb, was opposed to retaining members on half pay. Rich men could thus re main on their own expenses and pass any bill they thought proper. Mr. McMili.ax did not think political excite ments objeclional. Like a boiling cauldron, the fermenting of public opinion threw off the filth and scum, which intrigue mav have unsuspecting ly engendered. He was glad to see political ex citements on great issues, aud should for ibis, with other reasons, vote for the bill. He was in favor of fixing the time of meeting on Wednesday, so that the preliminary arrangements for an organization would not hereafter be made on Sunday. He did not want to see a limitation on the sessions. He thought when the Legislature met. that the busi ness of the State should be disposed of as fast as possible. This he thought had been, and still would I>e done. If it required longer than forty days, the time should be allowed and the members compensated. Mr. Gihson, of Pike, wished a limit on the ses sions. He believed the extended territory and di versified interests of the State required the year!;, assembling of it- Legislature. The public weal required a guard. He thought forty days too short a limit, and moved to extend to sixty. Mr. Nichols, of Clinch, objected to the amend ment, which was lost. Mr. GrEßttr opposed. Fraquent elections would ; keep up continual political wrangles. There were incalculable evils in closely contested counties, lie j held members bound to vote agreeable to wishos of their constituents, which they (•■mid easily as ■ certain.

Non-residents, doing business in this State, may, after the passage of this bill, be served with a writ or legaj paper of any kind, through their Attorney, agent, or any person having control of the business, or by leaving a copy at the place of transacting business.

A hill incorporating the Middle Ground Railroad Company. Ihe road to run from Covington to Columbus. A bill to change the time of holding the Superi or Courts of Newton county to the third Mondays in March and September, and to allow a two weeks session. The hill giving the city authorities of Atlanta the unlimited control of the liquor traffic in that city, was taken np. Mr. Harris, of Fulton, made a beautiful and flowery speech, and highly plausible, and somewhat forcible argument in favor of it. The constitutionality of the mea sure was proven by him, I think,' beyond ques tion; in sustaining its equity and propriety, he signally failed. The question involves the whole subjeet of restrictive legislation in regard to vending liquors. The precedent, as established bv more than one Legislature in the past, of givin-' the control of the traffic to the Justices of tin- In ferior Courts of comities and the authorities m towns, was produced by Mr. Harris, and zealously urged in favor of the policy of the bill, and us a weighty argument in support of its constitutionali ty. The hour for adjourning arrived before anv dis position was made of the bill. Under the rule yes terday adopted, it could not be considered in the afternoon, without a special suspension lor this purpose. The bill will be taken up on another day as unfinished business. ; The rule of the House, appointing the afternoon session for reading Senate bills the first, and House bills the second time, was suspended, and the bills appropriating ten thousand each, to the Atlanta and Savannah Medical Colleges, were read the third time. A substitute offered by Mr. Lewis, of Han cock, leaving out the Savannah College, and reduc ing the appropriations to five thousand dollars, was the subject of an interesting debate between Messrs. Lewis and Lawton. The substitute was so amend ed as to include the Savannah College, and adopted in lieu of the original. The substitute is now on its passage. Mr. Harris, of Fulton, made the opening speech, favoring the passage of tl,e bill, showing the advantages derivable from the sme llier lectures iu the Atlanta College, the necessity for building up Southern institutions of this kind, and urging the obligation of the State to aid in do ing so. Mr. Lawton followed in the same line of argu ment, sustaining the begging hand of the Southern city. Savannah - and coinciding with the preceding gentlemen as- to the correctness of the principle! and the propriety of its application in the. cases pending. Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, also assumed the advn cacv of the bill, lie did so, he said, to encourage science, to build up a noble, intelligent and libera! hearted profession who were a benefit and an honor to the State and to the country, and as some retiut neration to that profession for the charitable toil, so kindly bestowed by them ou the weak and im potent poor of the laud which it is our duty, as a people and a State, to protect and sustain. The gentleman was rather inclined to .severity in bi reply to Mr. Crook, of Chattooga, who, contrary to liis usual costume, opposed this appropriation for educational or scientific purposes. Sli . Crook gave his reasons for so doing iu a long speech. He thought the superfluities of the Treasury should be lavished on the poverty stricken of the land: those who could neither read or write, and were unable to learn for the want of money, and not poured in the coffers of scientific institutions for the benefit of the wealthy wholly beyond the reach of the great mass of the illiterate children ot the land. He believed in a scientific education, he had confidence in the skill and ability of the medical profession, and wished to see th< so insti tutions flourish, but he was opposed to promoting their prosperity to the prejudice of tie poor, who were as much entitled to, and needed far more the aid of the Treasury. Mr. Crook gave way to a motion to adjourn, re serving the privilege of occupying the floor on Monday. On reading the Journals this morning, Mr. Rumch, of Wavne, gave notice of his intention to move a reconsideration of the vote of the House adopting the resolution requiring of the State Treasurer a report of the ;« ;• diem and mileage paid members of the present and last General As sembly. Mr. Uumi’H, and Mr. llaynie, of Floyd, favored a reconsideration for the purpose of striking out that portion requiring a report d'the payincut of mem bers of the last Legislature. Mr. Paris, of Dade, opposed a reconsideration and hoped, as a member of the last la gislatmv that an investigation would he had in regard to the pay of its members. He was informed, he said that members had drawn under different rules. L was right that the matter should be investigated and understood. Home had drawn for as high as eight hundred miles mileage us members of the last Legislature, as ho was informed. This he could not see through. He wauled kind* shown, and the grubber, if there was one, caught and ex hibited to the public, and constituency that sen; him here.

Our relations with England are rapidly assuming a grave and threatening character. In the unor ganized condition of Congress, it is almost impos sible to know what is transpiring in Washington, so far as our foreign relations are concerned ; but, intelligent persons at the Capitol have communica ted with the press, in different localities, and there seems to be remarkable unanimity in the state ments they make. Ist. The correspondent of the 'SmUi Side demo crat-, (Petersburg, Va.) says: “Rumors to-cay are rife that a meeting of the Cab inet, held last night, at which it was decided to re call Mr. Buchanan, and thus suspend diplomatic intercourse with Great Britain. The last steamer brought dispatches indicating a determination on the part of the English Government to adhere to its position relative to the questions at issue be tween the two countries. The intelligence is sup posed to have led to the action of the Cabinet last night.” 2nd. The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, “Ion,” says: The delay has not prevented the President from ; the exercise of his proper functions in relation to i foreign affairs. lie sent an executive message to i the Henate to-day, which was the subject of caffe j sideruti <n in that body for some time. It may be presumed that ir related to the subject which I mentioned in nty letter yesterday, and none of greater importance has ever been submitted to that body or to this country in relation io our foreign affairs. The packet for Liverpool on Saturday will take out a despatch to Mr. Buchannan that will test the full extent of Lord Palmerston’s’irritabiliey. It is already known to our government that Lord Palmerston had stated that it would bring the subject of American relations before the Parlia ment upon their meeting, (to-morrow, the 16th,) and urge upon that body an adherence to the posi tions which the government had taken on these subjects. If Mr. Buchanan be withdrawn and diplomatic intercourse suspended, it is very certain that inter course will never he restored while Palmerston is at the head of the ministry. d. We publish below, almost entire, the letter of the correspondent of the Charleston Courier: Wasuim.ton, Jan. 16. -The President has con ferred w ith a number of members of the House, of 'different parties, and given them intimation as to the present condition of our foreign relations, which ought to induce them to complete their or ganization. Yesterday the Cabinet determined, after a long sitting, to suspend diplomatic relations with Eng land. This hold and decided, if not rash measure, has been adopted for the reason that the President, in the present condition of the House, cannot com municate a special message upon the state of our relations with England, to Congress. It was his purpose to send in a message, stating tliat the British Government had finally refused to make any further explanation of their orders for the prosecution of their recruiting services in this country. In the annual message of the 31m ult., the President states that he would communicate to Congress the result of the pending question upon the enlisting case. The final answer of the British Government came out by the Atlantic. This ult 'wniimu, of the British Government amounts not only to an utter refusal of further explanation, but is accompanied with a declaration from the head of the Govern ment -Lord Palmerston - that lie will bring before Parliament, upon it.-, meeting, the whole subject of Am i r an affairs, and will advise tint; the Govern ment shall adhere to the stand they have taken upon the enlistment question and the Central American question. The answer is considered bv the Administration as rude, harsh, and unfriend ly. One thing more was necessary to make it /«>»•- . .nid that one thing has happened, as the Gov ernment is advised the British Government have again ordered another re-iuforcement for the West India squadron. Though no alarmist, yet knowing what is pass ing in the Executive Government, 1 must say that our affairs arc in a most critical position. You will scarcely believe it, but it is a fact, that, yes terday the Cabinet, after a prolonged session de cided in favor of the suspension of diplomatic in tercourse" with England. Mr. Buchanan is to be withdrawn, with a declaration that no other Min ister will he accredited to that Government, until it shall assume a more friendly attitude towards the United States. This course, as you may re member, was adopted by our Government towards France, during the administration of John Adams. He suspended diplomatic intercourse, and in a message to Congress declared thta he would not resume it, until France was prepared to do us jus tice. The result was that, through our Minister at the Hague, an intimation was given that the French Gov eminent was prepared to treat on more liberal terms, and Messrs. Marshall, Pinckney and Guert'v were sent out as Commissioners. Bur, in this, ease, there is no probability that the British Government will, while that “wild, wilful, blun dering’' Palmerston, as Lord Grey’s friends used to denominate him, shall remain at the head of the M inistry.

Now that the year 1855 is drawing u. a close, ii may not be oni oi 1 place brief ly to notice some of the Leading incidents in the eoiiou market during that period. The year open 'd with low prices, middling Orleans being at Oil. per lb. After the first three mouths the supply from America proving less than expectation, and the effect of the war on trade hero being less dis astrous than anticipated, prices rose rapidly with- j out cheek, until in June, middling Orleans was at | <>Js. It may, however, here be noticed as a most. ( curious fie 1 , that from the end of February to the ! end of April the trade bought 425,98" bales, and I secured in that time a surplus stock of lot!,40" | bales, with an advance of only per lb. From j June to October prices gradually fell to 52j, but j have since rallied to id . It was confidently pre dicted during the wild speculation in the summer, I that, as the stock in this port was gradually re- • dined during the autumn, the advance would be: v\ ithout limit; the result only shows how futile are all calculations as to the future course of prices. The trade began to work up the cotton in their bands, and kept out of this market, the crop in America gave promise ot in reused supply, money became very dear, and every calculation was en tirely Jup-et, so that with a stock little more than the most sanguine foretold, prices art) giving wav, and anxiety to ro.ilize is manifest. The paM year lias shown that consumption continues large, while the prices of fond is high, and that the war i causes no apparent abatement in the demand for | cotton fabrics. The actual stock will in- given out ; on Monday; should it be more or less than the : estimate, is of little consequence, while the mom y market is so stringent. The computed stock is 38t!,7i'i5 bales, against ] 551,54" on the S-.-sth December, ]ss4, a decrease of j 155,085 bales, and the consumption for the year j has been 2,055,500 bales; in 1 5?,4, 1,839,250; in- j croased consumption 216,300 by England.

Circumstances in early life, threw her among the gayest of the gay , in a Southern metropolis, but while mingling in the merry crowd, diffusing joy and gladness on all around, that placid and serene, though thoughtful countenance, at all times impressed the beholder that higher, purer and holier thoughts were reign ing within. Thou art gone, thou beautiful one, to fairer and brighter worlds ; and, sweet, though sad the scene, where virtue died, where sunk thy soul to res!. Then “Peace-troubled soul, whose plaintive moan Hath taught each scene the note of woe— Cease thy complaint, suppress thy groan, And let thy tears forget to flow.” 0 cii era i 30 u c vtis cm cuts.

Equalizing the Circulation—The true method of pre venting the establishment of Disease—Regulation the only means of purifying the Blood and restoring the sick to health—Quick efficacy of Railway's Ready Relief and Radway’s Regulators, in cur ing the patient of Coughs, Congestions.

Remedies will secure to those who arc now weighed down by dis ease, or crippled with pains and aches, or other infirmi ties. The K. R R. Remedies possess medical efficacious and healing virtues, strengthening properties and life prolonging powers, that have never before been given to the wor d. They are founded on an entirely new theory, and they > stablish new principles in the treat ment of diseases that will enable all who use the R R R.'s to resist, the most violent diseases and the most destructive of peotih nts. They will render the human body proof against disease, and will enable the afflicted to secure for themselves sound health and long life. It. R. K. The reader will bear in mind that the R R. It. Rem edies consist of three remedies, which are kuown as RAHWAY'S READY RELIEF, RADWAY : jS RE NOV ATINO RESOLYKNT, R AI>VV AYS RE (} UI, A TORS. With these three remedies, we are confident that we can laftle disease in all its varied phenomena—no mat ter by what name it is called, or how terrible it may appear. We will, with these three simple remedies, guarantee a speedy and effectual restoration of the hu man body to sound and vigorous health, free from all bodily pains, aches and infirmities. HOW DISEASED ACTION BECOMES ESTABLISHED AND THE BLOOD IMPURE. A great erroi has long prevailed in the minds of med ical men, ‘‘ That Impurity of the Blood is the Cause of Diseased Action.” This is a serious mi take. It is a disturbance of the circulation, and the establishment of diseased action, that causes impurity of the blood. The R. R R. theory holds the truth of the above max ims, for if a person be in a state of perfect health, each artery and vein must carry to and from the heart its allotted proportion of b ood. and when any > t of ves sels refuse v be the cause what it may) to carry then proportion, the current of blood becomes dammed up— iu other words, a congestion takes place.giving pain to a greater or less extent Here, then, is the beginning of diseased action, which, it not relieved, will soon run into inflammation, and the disease becomes established. Diseased action being once established, the blood be comes impure, and the regularity of action on the part of the Liver. Ski . Bowels, Ac , is sure to be interim ,t --ed and the general system, by sympathising with the local coinplaint, becomes involved iu the difficulty. That this is the true state of the case, let any one call to mi d his symptoms on catching cold. The local difficulty may be a sore throat, which is a congestion of the blood, amounting (sometimes) to an inflammation about the throat, owing to a previous deranged state of the cir culation, and he will remember that his bowels become costive, his liver deranged, or his skin dry. and his blood impure. Had he used ltadway's Ready Relief when the congestion was setting in,as an application to the throat, and swallowed a dose of the Regulators, lie would have broken up the congestion, and restored the regularity on the part of the liver, skin, bowels. Ac. which had been broken in upon by the effects of the sore throat. Regular tv being again established, the impure blood is soon purified, and ihe circulation again equalized, and the health restored. HOW THE R. It. R. REMEDIES RAISED MRS. SA RAH A. HOUGH, from a crippled and helpless con dition, to sound health, after the skill of four of the most learned Physicians in New York had failed to relievo her—Prs. Parker. Reese Wardle and Maclelau. READ HER LETTER. • Jancarv 3, 1856. Messrs. Radway & Co—l tried your Ready Relief, and had my joints rubbed with it, and 1 never felt pain after the first ten minutes. I was rubbed with it, up to tho present time. Sirs, Ido not know what to compare it to but a charm ; for it is & mystery to me. f was a cripple for two years, and had not the proper use of my limbs for three years. L was worn down to a skeleton. I then commenced the use of your Ready Relief. Resol vent and Regulators. The pain left me in ten minutes, and I b gan to gain strength very fast, and could walk with ease in a few weeks Before 1 heard of vonr Rem - edies. I was taken to Dr Darker. Dr. Ree>o, Dr. W'ardle, Dr. Maclelan, and many other physicians in this city. 1 cannot now remember. I was completely pulled to pieces by them.
