The resolu tion to adjourn the :.’sth proximo, was amended by ! substituting the nth, and then laid on the table. ! With a similar view, that of expediting the bust I ness, a resolution was introduced by the member . trom Greene to limit all oratorical’displays to ten ' riinutes duration an amendment was offered to os resolution, making a vote of two-thirds ne ssarv to rescind it. After amotion to lay on the ! 'able for the balance of the session, and making a i lanimous vote necessary to rescind, were lost, ’ ■ resolution, with the amendment requiring a umbirds vote to rescind, was passed. It is ex- ! uniting to record this reformation, for hitherto ! • evaporation of the steam which ought to have ' -n condensed, has well nigh beclouded and be- j gged the simplest and plainest propositions. A | ion was introduced by Mr. Pope, appointing i ■mmittee ot three, lo confer with a similar com- I ■ to he appointed from the House, and to de- . : ■ upon a day of adjournment “sine die." The dilution was agreed to.

It will be recollected that the Georgia Legislature, a couple of years ago, grant ed a pardon to the above named individual, who ; had been convicted of the murder of his brother in-law, Dr. X. (i. Hillburn. The New Orleans cor respondent of the Columbus Enquirer, writing un- I tier date of January 17th, gives an item of his whereabouts and manner of conducting himself, | after enjoying the legislative clemency of this State. The correspondent savs: “ Crime and intemperance still stalk abroad in this city. A man was murdered on board the steamer Republic, on Saturday last, and no one or the boat communicated anything to the police, in relation to the matter, until the succeeding Mon day, thus giving the murderer time to escape. The name of the murderer is Elijah Bird, who, it is said, abs aid -d from Georgia, a few vears since, where lie had committed two murders.* It is said that he has wealthy relations living in Georgia.'' Political Geometry.—lt is an axiom in Geome try, that things that are equal to the same thing, are equal to one another. By inspecting the votes j given for Speaker in Congress, it will he seen that ' Mr. Pennington votes for Mr, Banks, and Mr. Banks votes for Mr. Penning:mu; they are therefor* equals politically. Mr. Henry Fuller also votes for Mr. Pennington, therefore he is politically equal to Mr. Pennington ; but we have shown that Mr. Banks and Mr. Pennington are equal, and things that are equal to the same thing, are equal to each other, and Mr. Banks and Mr. Fuller being both equal with Mr. Penniugton, they are equal to each other. Messrs. Foster and Trip; cj vote for Mr. Fuller, and as we have proved Mr. Fuller to be the equal of Banks, therefore Messrs. Foster and Trippe are the equals of Banks, fid. Union.

Augusta Market, Jail. ‘29, 1 P. M. COTTON.—There has been a very fair business done in the Cotton trade the past week, consider ing the extreme inclemency of the weather. Since our last weekly review, we have had Liverpool ac counts by the Africa and Baltic, which have de pressed prices. We think }(c. may be safely stated to be the extent of the decline in this market. The I higher grades of Cotton are getting very scarce, j i and consequently the demand for them has in ; creased. The lower qualities are not sought for, j and prices for Cotton below middling may be re- ; ported as merely nominal. There i; a considerable quantity of inferior and ; ordinary Cotton, impaired by the long continued 1 unfavorable weather, which commands from 6 1 j to i 7}4 cents, when sales can be effected. We submit j the following quotations, as near the condition of tiie market, for quality and price, as we have been I enabled to obtain : Strictly fair 9 cents ; middling j fair s b ; good middling 8 Vj; low middling to ' middling s . stained I}£CdJlsi cents, i The receipts of Cotton at all the Southern ports, I j continue steadily to increase, and there are very few persons who estimate the present crop at anv : thing under 3,500,000 bates, while many are dis j posed to place it at still higher figures. | (BUSINESS. We have no very gratifying results , of trade or business to report, in consequence of I the unfavorable weather, which invested almost | everything with un icy garniture. Sleet and snow | i has been succeeded by muddy sireets, and man ’ and horse jog along at a very reluctant pace.

There is not much of a stock of this ar ticle on the market; and tlie closing up of the Western waters, interrupting navigation, may ap- j predate prices, as well of this commodity as of ’ other articles of Western produce.

Anxious to extend its influence, I and place it upon a substantial basis of support, j the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the j attention of the thinking public of America to its I claims upon their consideration. The main feature of the CRITERION is its Hr cities of Current Literature. In this department arc given thorough and able criticisms of all the I most important books as they are issued, pointing j out their chief characteristics, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform- | ed of all new publications which deserve their at tention. IT ALSO CONTAINS Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary j World; Gossip concerning Books and Writers' ; j Announcements of contemplated Publications; and ! Lists of New Books issued in America and Europe, j The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also r receive attention, and several columns of carefully , selected and agreeable matter are given in each j number. In addition to the above .there is a de partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter- j taining character, carefully selected from new books i and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of j Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety j of curious and valuable information. It is confidently believed that a journal such as j the CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect . upon our national literature, and to some extent 1 upon our national character. It will he found es peciallv valuable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an appreciation for valuable reading, which is being! rapidly destroyed bv the circulation of superficial and sophistical books. To the reading man the I literary intelligence alone must, render it very do- : sirable; and to all who wish to promote an ini- I provement in taste, the encouragement of merit, I and an uncompromising condemnation of vieious i style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an i enterprise cannot at least, should not be indif- j ferent. To members of Historical, Literary and Scugx- I it Etc Societies, Lyceums and Debajim; Clubs, the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all i times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de- '■ sign of the editors to thoroughly canvass, from i time to time, those important philosophical ques ' tions which agitate aii inquiring minds, correcting I false theories, and encouraging profitable invest!- 1 gation. The CRITERION is published at t-3 per annum, ! payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad j vance. Specimen copies supplied, on application ! to the Publisher. CHARLES R.
