Tlie sUampaukel Liverpool sailed from Liver- j
pool on the 20th October, agreeably lo aniiouii< < .
mi nt. Her lion-arrival of course creates Home j
uni urines* in New York, but tlic presumption is
that her supjdy of coal proved deficient, and j
. that, finding this to l>c the ease, she either stern d |
for some nearer port, or is making the beat of |
her way lo New York with no other propelling j
power than her sails.
The Liverpool waa seen on the 21st at Ba. m.,
With her engine stopped, and blowing off her

corresponds with the ho«k4 of the Dank; hut the
Notes discounted exceed the amount railed for
by the hooks, $1,070 31. Thin discrepance
(which was much greater when the present

will agree.

The Committee arc of opinion, that the after,

the Hank mentioned in the foregoing statement
of its condition, arc entirely unavailable, and
will he eventually lost to the Hank, via ;

In addition to the liabilities of the Hank, as
shown in the foregoing statement ol’ iis condi
tion, the appropriations for 1537 and I >3B, yet
subject to the warrants of the Governor on the
Titasuier, and fur which the Rank, by the ap
propriation acts of those years is required to pro.
vide payment, amount to about the* sum of
$525,000. The Committee are of opinion,
however, that the whole of this amount will not
he drawn for, and that part of it may he met by
moneys paid into the Treasury.
It will he seen by the stale of the Rank here,
with submitted, that the whole amount of Notes
and Hills discounted, viz ; $1,951,621 51, those
lying over amount to $575,102 27, ami those in
suit to $82,617 57. Os those lying over, it is
confidently expected a very large proportion
will he renewed during the silting of the Legis
lature,
It may, perhaps, have been cxj>ectcd that the
Committee would express some opinion as to the
solvency of the makers and endorsers of the
Notes and Hills of Exchange. Much the greater
number of them are unknown to the Committee,
and of such they cannot and ought not to ex
press an opinion; but the Notes and Rills, the
makers and endorsers of which are known to the
Committee, are considered by them to be gene
rally good.
On an examination of the books oftlic Bank,
the Committee find that a personal ledger had
been Kept until the middle of the year 1836,
when it was discontinued by the then Cashier.
The general ledger was regularly posted and
balanced during the continuance in office of Mr. I
Malone as Ctahicr; since that time this book |
<>».d in the opinion of the Committee, a very
important one,) was discontinued until the pre
sent Cashier came into office. When Inc funda
of the Bank wntfe turned over to him by Ins pre-
Uecessor, as correct, he carried them into a
gcneial ledger, and since that time this book has
huen regularly kept and balanced. The Com
itiltce consider it important that the discon
tinued general ledger should be brought up, and
recommend that a competent jierson be ap|»oiulcd
sot that purpose, whose services may be dis
peised with sflcr this duly is performed.
The Committee recommend also that a per-
Koial ledger he in future kept. 11 any of the
U»oj;s of the Riink arc to be abandoned, they
outsider it far better that the credit book should
l>o, than the personal ledger. Both, however,
might be continued by the appointment ot another
officer. Ail of which is very rcspcctlully sub

- down with this “Loi»fi»co M and its competitor, and
give our opinion of iheir flavor afterwards.
I FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT ]
MILLEDGEVILLE, NOV. 18.
I hope that « proper spirit and feeling will animate
- ih#. membera of the Legislature, in regard to the
5 ni,] and encouragement to be given to works of in
ternal improvements. Sectional partialities most
be set aside ; the true interest of the whole State
must he consulted; and we should all hear in mind,
that, whatever may be done by legislative action
for the benefit and prosperity of one section, the
benefit and prosperity of every other section will
be indirectly promoted and established, especially
when beneficial results arc to he produced by the
construction of Rail roads nnd canals. It was
1 then with surprise, that I heard in the convention
? which recently met nl this place, the position taken,
; that the northern counties of the State could not
derive any benefit from the construction of the
• I Kail-roads now in progress of construction. To
• i me this opinion appears erroneons, nnd devoid of
: foundation in truth and in fact; ond it is such an
erroneous opinion which has paralyzed every
• effort to establish nn efficient system of internal
: improvements in our state. If Rail-roads do not
: p iss through our northern counties, Jackson, Frank
’ lira. Hall, Habersham, anil others, they will, never*
, thcloss he benefitled by u Kail-road which would
> terminate within fifteen, twenty-five, or thirty or
; forty miles, of their limits. It could not otherwise
than he a benefit to them, because instead of having
• a market town for their produce at a distance of
one u> two hundred miles, they would have n place
’ of d«‘|Kj*it for such produce within twenty or forty
‘ mihs, whence they would he transported with
speed and at reduced cost to a market. And wo
most not forget it is owing to the difficulties of
transporting produce to o market where it would
: be in demand, that our northern counties have not
? made efforts to raise produce for foreign markets
\ Hy lessening the distance of transportation by or
liliciul means and spe ed, the farmers of our norih
- ern counties, will he induced to cultivate more
, grain, and to enter into competition with Baltimore,
‘ Richmond, New York, and i’tuladelplim, for sup
- plying our State with Hour, and other articles of
£ absolute necessity, which we now import om the
Z north and the west.
- If in the deliberations of the Leg islature. tho er
•B roneous and unfounded opinion I mentioned above,
“ be neutralized, if not entirely removed, hy the evi-
deuce of facts, on efficient system maybe adopt
r ed, which will directly benefit the most populous
- and most productive sections of the .Stale, and ere
~ ote the means and the ability to benefit, in a very
few years, tho. e sections of tho Stale which are
thinly populated, and in which Rail-roods, at the
present lime, could not add to their population and
to the present amount of their products The ex
tension of Rad-rouds should follow the increase of
population and products; if said road* are con
structed where population in sqmll, consumption of
foreign merchandise limited, and articles of expor
tation few nnd insignificant, instead ol being a bene*
2 fit, they are nn injury, because the cost of repair
i* taken from individual means without at; equiva
lent. But it is certain, that the prosperity of the
other sections of the Stole, more favored in popn
’■ lation nnd wealth, must gradually he fell by the
‘ less favored sections, who li, in their turn, as they
° acquire more population, and supply more pro
f i ducts, will require additional means for a more
J- speedy and safe transportation of their products to
H a market, and of their supplies of foreign meridian
•t disc to iheir own doors.
f It i* then my opinion, (hut the best policy (be
Legislature could pursue, under present circum
stance*, is, to aid in the construction of those Kail
-1 roads in which the greatest number of our citizen*
are certainly most directly interested, mid to pre
j pare, hy fostering tho means and tho resources of
the State, the construction of other Rail-r ads, in
g other sections of the State, when u will he a*cer
r tamed (hut Mich Uiiihrutids are needed, mid will not
i result in an entire loss of the money expended in
i their construction. If the Legislature, instead of
< pnrMiing a cautious policy, should extravagantly
pledge the public credit lor the construction of Rail
’ roods wherever they may bj proposed, ruin may
he the consequence. By pursuing a prudent p*di
ry, Rail-roads will ho constructed, which will be
I i immense benefit to the State, and this immense
1 be,..**fit wilt hasten the time when other Kail-roads
■ i will tlu * ®to bo constructed in those section* of the
1 Siaic, wi. * re h would be folly at the present time
I* to do so :in ver V h’W years, n may not be folly,
r but on imperiou 4 necessity, to give such facilities
, by Rail reads or finals, for the transportation of
produce ami goods to a'ul Irum the seaboard,
i II i* doubtful whether i> r <* will be a quorum in
either branch of the I.egis to-morrow. A
1 ' great many of the members lm\ * scampered away,
• unmindful of their duly ns legislate :u, *l unmind-
* f eir couslilu
r e .is. Wliilo absent, do the members n fleet upon
the important subjects winch will he placed before
. them for deliberation and final action? While «h
--senl do they think that their neglect of their dm/
. may be of serious injury to their constituents ? Do
4 they not know that on their return they will not he
r I able to give a conscientious vote on the important
1 , bills upon which they will have to decide ’ li is a
, shame that such doing* on the part of our legisla
, tors *hould he I ole rated any longer. Such doings
call loudly for an efficient expurgation of owe legis
' lativc body.

NOVEMBER 19.
Nolwithstnndi ng my known feelings and opin
’ ions in regard to the extraordinary pow ers and pri
-1 j vileges granted to bunk*, in regard to the banking
i system, as in operation in tins country, I cannot
, i bring my mind to approve the Iree hanking scheme
now under tlu* coiuideration of the Legislature,
i The State is not ripe enough for such a scheme •
our population is i ol sufficiently large,and there
i* too immense a quantity of land, which must re
main uncultivated until the population has in
creased and an intrinsic value is given to real es
tate. In order to give confidence to tho note*
which would be issued by the bunks chartered
under !he free banking scheme, the capital stock
must be based on something of substantial value,
which could be converted into money to meet the
redemption of the bank notes winch could not bo
redeemed at the counters of the banks on presenta
tion. How is it proposed to constitute the capital
stock of the banks chartered under tins free hank
ing scheme? United Stales stock? There is
none. Georgia Stale slock? There is none; un
less it is intended to embrace in what is designated
as Stale slock, the slock of the State banks, insur
ance and trust companies, rail-road nnd canal com
panies already incorporated. The stork of other
States ? There are none, or but a very few of our
capitalists who own this kind of stock. The rapt
tal slock of the banks chartered under the free
banking scheme, will have to he based on real es
tate. 1 ask the good sense of the members of the
Legislature, if n would be prudent to take indis
criminately the real estates of Georgia as the basis
for the c apital stock of those banks ? Can a system
of discrimination be established without creating
opposition and dissatisfaction, nnd without creating
monopolies w hich a free system of hanking is evi
dently intended to restrain, if not entirely to avoid?
If land in a high state of productiveness ; if real
estate in cities and towns ; if slock of banks already
chartered, ore to constitute the basis of the free
bunks, the expectations of a large number of our
citizens will be disappointed; and they will have
good reason to complain that monopolies have been
create.l under a deceptive system of free banking.
If no discrimination be made in the nature of real
ra i*
estates, iiinLpine barren lands and*«o®far *«ert i
constitute of a bank, can cormdonce be
placed in the iirak which will have'*o*in frs*i«d by
•uch a bank ? Certainly not. 1 could say e great
deal more on this subject; but I shall wait until 1
hear the arguments of the advocates of the free
hanking system in the Legislature, because the
objections I have to the plan proposed might be re.
moved. In lire mean while I must toy, that the
Stale of Georgia is not yet in a condition to he
governed by a general system of free banking, and
that should such a system be adopted, innumera
ble hanks may be established, which, by forced
operations, and unlimited competition, would effect
the ruin of many families, and perhaps bankrupt
the Siaie, destroy her credit abroad, and retard
her progress to prosperity ami wealth.
I send you the hill introduced in the Senate by
Mr. Springer, authorizing free banking. 1 believe
it is too long for publication; but persons w ishing to
read can call at the office.
I send you also the bill to incorporate the Au
gusta and Waynesboro* Rail Road and Banking
Company. This bill is also 100 long for publica
tion. It will be seen that the principal bank is to
be located in Augusta, and that brandies are lobe
established in Savannah and Waynesboro.
A bill was introduced this rooming in the Senate f
to change die mode of electing the judge of the
Court of Common Pleas of Augusta. Instead of
being elected by the Legislature, the judge is to be
chosen by the City Council of Augusta; the first
election, under the change, to lake place in Novem
ber, 1841.
A bill was also introduced in the Senatis by Mr-
Echols. to change the mode of appointing directors
of the Central Hank, and officers of the Peniten
tiary, By this bill the choice of tliose officers is
to lie made by the Legislature, instead of the Gov
ernor. The first election is to be made by the
present Legislature.
NOV. 20.
A bill has been introduced in the House, to char
ter the Southern Bank,to be located at Hainhridge,
Decatur county. The capital to lie S3OO,WX), wuh
the privilege to increase it to s*loo,ooo. Authority
is given to establish two branches. The hank is
prohibited from being concerned, directly or indi
rectly, in commerce, insurance, importation or ex
portution, purchase or ssle of any goods, wares, or
merchandize, except in hills of exchange, Ac.
This morning in the Senate, a bill was introduced
to incorporate the Brunswick Insurance and Trust
Company.
A bill was passed to compute lime hereafter, in
nil cases whatever, according to the calendar
month, instead of the lunar month, as practised in
some cases.
The committee on Internal Improvements, to
w hom had been referred n resolution of the Senate,
instructing that committee to inquire into the expe
diency of constructing the Western and Atlantic
Rail Road with hut one track, reported against
r chancing the (dan adopted in the construction of
the road, Ac.
On looking over the report of Mr. Colling, State
Geologist,to the Governor,of Ocuibe 1 1 Ith, IK3t,
• I find that during his exploration of Morgan Coun
ty, ho discovered, 44 for the first lime in Georgia,
the substance technically termed prentsward,
' which is highly prized in Prance and England, us
an application to lands, an 1 considered far superior
to lime and marl. It is now used extensively in
New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia, us an effec
tual renovator of worn out lands. The locality is
on thu plantation of Mr. John McNeil. It has not
been discovered os yet very extensively; but
‘ wherever used, it has been proved to be the best
mineral manure ever applied to exhausted lands.
* r.vcn the firs! year after its application evinces its
superiority over other manuies; the vegetation
sustains (he drought belter, is highly invuriaiii, and
when mixed with putrient manure, ns ferilizing
pro perl it i lur Mirputs every other compost hitherto
made."
. We see it staled in one of our exchange papers,
that W ilhain 11. Creighton, lately elected as n
Whig member of Congress from Payette and Mad
, ison counties, in Ohio, died within n few days, at
, his residence, of a bleeding of the lungs.
W'e have seen many good mottos, hut we do not
recollect to have seen one in which so much truth
is embraced in so few words us the following, taken
from the Alton (Illinois,) Spectator.
44 'Phe man who takes no papers,

PROM MEXICO.
The P. S. sloop of war Vandalia, arrived at the
Bnluc on the 18th inn. from Tampico, which port
she left on the 4th insl, having on board ninety-five
thousand dollars in specie, for merchants in New
Orleans. She brings hut little news. The recent
arrival of two French frigates at Sacrificios is men.
turned. It is slated that despatches hail been rc
cently sent by the new commander of the French
squadron, to the government of Mexico, demanding,
( it was presumed, for the last lime, an immediate
payment of the indemnity; and should the courier
return with an unfavorable answer, an immediate
attack on Vera Cruz by the French was confident
ly exported by the inhabitants, who appeared de
terniined to sacrifice their lives on the altar of pat

At Tampico the Revolutionists were busy in ma
king preparations to repel the government troops,
who wore reported to be w ithin seven leagues, and
rapidly marching upon that city.

M /iitreal papers of the 12th inst. furnish some
additional particulars of the battle at Lacolie, which
it is now said was fought with the whole Patriot
force, consisting of about 400 men. The defeat of
