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.

A Liverpool paper says • “ The letters sent out by her loaded a » art, and were contained in immense canvas* bags, some of them so heavy dial one nun could wilhdilli cully carry them.

It was reported that a short extra session of Parliament would be immediately held, in eon- Kiipieiirr of Lord Durham's resignation, of which intelligence was carried out hy the Great Western.

Thin discrepance (which was much greater when the present t'unliicr came into office,) is supposed to he in the accounlif of attorneys, in whose hands notes have been placed fur collodion, and that upon a final settlement with them the amount of the notes and the amount called for by the hooks will agree.

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 mit ed, by TIICMAR STOCKS, i GEORGE R. CLAYTON, [ Commute. WILLIAM Y.

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. i 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, (>r taking, pays not i t hen Ihry'ie read ; Would sell his o »rn to boy a 4 Aon*,’ And live on borrowed bread.” NEW YORK. It seems probable that the Congressional delega tion will stand 21 Whigs, 19 Van Bnren men—Whig i gain II In the House of Assembly the W hig ma. jonty will probably be 31, and on joint ballot 30. 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 riotism. 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. DEATH OF JUDGE BAY. Tin l Charleston Courier of yesterday soys;— “The venerable ELIHU HALL BAA*, is no more! He departed ‘his life on Monday night last, without a struggle, in the Hath ycar~of his age.

The brig Ivanhoe, from Havana, arrived at New Orleans on the 15lh, bringing five barrels of Mexi can dollars, consigned to a house in that city. CANADA. 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 the Patriots was complete and they left in the hands of the volunteers their six pounder, about 250 stands of arras and a quantity of araunilion Their loss was 11 killed and 8 prisoners. The wounded escaped over the lines. Two of the volunteers were killed and two wounded. On the mo.ningof the 9th the attempt was re newed by Nelson himself, with 800 well armed men from Napierville, and 200 more who had swords and J pikes.
