Mr. Boyce moved that Alexander Black, Mr Jamison and A. McDowell, be added to the Com uiit.ee of 21. ■ j mmmmmmmm ■imw ■ in r~rr i t i — ■ ~~ m Mr. Pollard, of Alabama, presented llic pm erodings of a Convention recently held at Hunts ville, Ala., which after being read, were on motion ol Mi. Dealing, ordered to bo recorded. Dr. Robertson presented the following tcsulu. lion, which was otdeicd to bo referred to ibe Committee of £l, Resolved, That tho Committee of 31 bo re quested to inquire whether any of the Dinks have entered into arrangements with fotcign Banks, by which letters of credit can be obtained upon sufficient security, by those desiring to enter into direct importation—and if such arrange, ments have not been made, to ascertain as far as possible, the causes that operate against the ac complishment ot so desirable an object. Mr. Boyce, of Charleston,said that the matter ctnbtaccd in the Resolution of Dr. Robertson, was already before rho Committee of 31, and had been tclirred to a sub-coinmir.ce Mr. John A. Calhoun, of S. C., marred the following resolution: Resolved, That it be referred to the Cotnmil millee of 31 to report es to the host practicable means of inducing our merchants to patronize Southern ports. Mr. CALHOUN said, that it had often at d long been .-aid of us, thzt. wo wore a people too much inclined to talk and too little inclined to act. He feared that the remark was too true, most especially in reference to the gtcnl subject upon which this Convention bad boon called to gether to deliberate. An observation rnado to him by a merchant of the North, during the past summer, had struck him wnh great force—that the South had spoken and published a great deal upon the subject ol direct importations, hut he had seen no practical had been done.—Southern merchants were as much dis posed as ever to patronize Northern ports and he was not sure but that the disposition was, if any thing, more strongly exhihi cd now than at any previous period. Now sir, said Mr. C. it cannot be expected that those Merchants ol the South who have been in the habit of patronizing Northern ports, should abandon their course, if by so doing they sustain any loss, but he thought it their duly at loaet to gi'o the ports ot the South u fair opportunity, by examining and comparing the facilities and ad vantages of each. lam informed that the ports of the South do offer facilities equal to those of the North, but that a long habit ot visiting the latter,and indisposition to get outof the old chan nel, and not any inferiority of tho former, is the operating cause why our own ports a.e not better patronized. 11, sir, wc con do any thing by which to induce our merchants to patronize our own cities, we shall have accomplished mure for the cause than by all the speaking and writing of years. The resolution was adopted. Mr. BELLINGER of rj.U. rose and said that as there wa: nothing of importance now before the Convention, he would submit a resolution which it would perhaps have been more proper to introduce at the close of the Convention, The matter which he wished to bring before the Con. vention was perhaps not in itself very important, or had any direct hearing upon the subject ol for eign importations hut it was one which he had much at heart, and he should not feel that he had discharged his duty without making the move ment which he now did; at d as the proposition came from the other side of the Savannah River, it would certainly ho relieved of the charge of selfishness. Mr. B. then read the following reso lution, which he submitted to the judgement of tho Convention. Resolved, That the Delegates present will subscribe a sum sufficient lor the purpose of ptitcha;iiig a Silver Cup to he presented to William Bearing ol Athens, as a token of our respect for the estimable man and highly two ful and public til citizen who first propo sed the Commercial Convention and whom we claim not so much as a son of Georgia as of* the common South. Resolved, 1 hat Messrs. Her Boyce, James G. Holmes, and William Aikin of S. C. be ap pointed a special committee to receive sub scriptions and to carry into effect the forego ing resolution. Mr. I. E. HOLMES, approved of the reso lution If any good should he accomplished if any kind feelings enkindled f or if the chain of interest by \vh ch we are united is brighten ed by the action of this Convention—-we shall certainly owe it to the gentleman to whom lhi s compliment is in ended. Mr. H. then made a suggestion to vary the phraseology of the reso lution, which was accepted by the mover. Mr. BEARING, rose to express his thanks for the compliment. It was his desire that nothing of the kind should be done ; it was enough for him to see so much talent and en» etgy codected together to carrv out an enter prise, for the honor of original* which, oth ers were as much entitled as h elf. He ho ped the mover would withdraw die resolution. Mr. BELLINGER said, that the modesty of the gentleman in declining the proffered hon or, was to his mind an additional and concht. sh e argument in favor of Us adoption. After being amended on motion of Mr Boyce, so as to substitute the name of Air. 8,-|, linger for his own, the resolutions were adop ted unanimously. The Convention then adjourned till 12 o’clock tc morrow. < Far the Chronicle Sentinel. J/r. Editor: —Among some, cents (some of the fruits of the resumption of specie payments I presume) I found an old copper coin of the following description ; On the lace there is a head, wreathed with laurels, and on tho margin the inscription “Geor. gius Dei Gratia Rex,” On the reverse the device is a double rose of five leaves and five flowers do luso each, the centre seeded, and around the rose the motto ‘‘Rasa Americana * Utile Dulci j 1723.” It appears to have been gilt, as there ate several small particles of gold Qill adhering U> il an ilie i-iilcs and edg —iho oil .c- were not “mill- | od.” Ido not remember .meeting with any id- | erenco to this coinage in the early history of our I country, nor in iho corresponding part ot the j history of England or reign of (jforge 1.

For beauty and dura hility, this granite is equal to any 1 have seen used for architectural purposes ; and it is ho fat superior to the white sand slone or conglomerate, hitherto u.ed in this city, that no peisi n of any judgement can hesitate to give it a decided prefer ence. The prices lam told will he as low as possible—but I urn sure that every Southern man who wishes to patronize the mechanic arts at homo, would give this granite tire preference, even at a small advance on Northern prices. The fact of the existence of this granite for mation so near the oily, has been well known for many years, and we bavc been sometimes amused with promises to open the quarries. It rests now with Messrs. Chipman &. Head and the public spoil of this city, to render this rock available as a domestic production and triumph of Southern enterprise.

All transient advertisements to he paid lor before insertion, and all subactip tions and contracts for advertising by theyiar to be paid !ir advance This is a trades union of (he right sort, but they ought to have gone one step farther, and pledged themselves not to insert any communication by which the interests of in dividuals are sought to be pronourued, except us advertisements—payable in advance. We can speak advisably on this latter head. Scarcely u day passes in which we are not courteously invi ted to bestow a considerable portion of our read ■ ing (.■■during upon very vvtil v. ritien coi»iouin< if lions, the scope and design of which are simply to forward the personal views of the writers. Such communications are pKipe/ly advertisements —dve make our living, in part, by publishing ad verlisciiicnls—and it is unreasonable and unjust to expect that we will publish them fir nothing. We could lilt our paper, almost any day, with articles not of our own writing, and of no inter est to readers in general; most of them being laudations of various articles of merchandise, by the sale ol which the writers hope to make a large prolit, hut from the announcement of which, in our columns, they are not willing to let us make a very little one. Once for all, therefore, wo make hold to Irif’»rti ■ inr friends ill it advertisements must bo paid for, even when they come in the shape of communi cations. On matters of public interest we are always willing to give imurmatiun—and we are thankful to those who furnish us with the means. IJulsurely it is no more than fair that a gentle man who has a commodity for sale, and wishes to let the public know il, should pay ns for the service wo render him by giving the information to the public.— JV.

From the .Montreal iianscnptol inui-sday, wc copy the following account of proceedings in that city on Wednesday night. The proceedings seem to have been s> stetnalic and attended with a great deal of “the pomp and circumstances of” inglorious hanging, our neighbors are learning. Cast night the indignant citizens of Mon treal, in-ligated by their own feelings rather than emulating the example set «s at Quebec, executed the last sentence of the law upon three figures representing Lords Brougham, Melbourne and (ilcnclg. At a quarter before nine the procession mo ved olf from the Victoria Hotel—it consisted of sundry officers and executioners, mounted, and in appropriate costume. Then came the cart drawn by two asses, in which were their Lordships. Immediately behind the dart wa-. borne the coffin destined to receive the ashes. After that came a cart surmounted by a Urge frame, on which were well executed and ap propriate transparencies. Lo d Brougham was here representing as endeavoring to es cape from justice, mounted on an ass—but his Satanic. M jesty, keeping a good lookout, had caught the animal by 1 lie tin I and was ■ fragging lb'll hack for punishment.

The Death Warrants The mist of the morning still hung heavily on Iho mountain top, above lit village ot Red cliff, but the toads which led towards it were crowded with the varied population of the sur rounding country from far and near. At Ales bury the shops were closed, the hammer of the blacksmith laid upon its anvil—not a wagon ninny de-criptiou vvns to he seen in the sire 1, and even liio bar o! the tavern Was locked, and the key gone wilt its proprietor lowgid the cliff, as a loken of an important era winch wa withnut a parallel iu the an als ol the place. And save hero and there a soldary head look ing through a broken pane in some closed up house, witli an air of sad disappointment, or Lie cries of a little nursling was heard, belo king that in the general flight, it had been left in unskilful hands, or mayhap here and there a solitary, ragged and ill-natured dog, either seeming but half appeased by the privilege 01 a holid-y, granted on condition of slaying at home, the wind ■ village presented a picture ol desertion and silence, that had forever been unknown before. Butin proportion at you drew ivar the pon derous c :1s in the m.(lst of winch the liti.e town of Red dill'was situated, yon mingle ngtrn in the thick bustle and motion of the world, of men and women and boys, and horses and dogs, ami all living, moving and creeping things, that inhabit the wild districts of I’emi sylvaiiia. Tito village was crowded to ovei(lowing, long before the sun bad ga ned a sufficient al titude to throw Us rays tip m the deep valley in which it lay. There the bar of the inn was crowded, and 11.0 fumes of tobacco and wins key,the jingling of small change, and the per- j potual clamor of the throng, was sufficient to rack a brain of common flexibility. In the s' reels there was tim greeting of oid and long parted acquaintance: the harti mi,/ of horses; the settling of oid accounts ; the buflbonry of half'intoxicated men; the clatter of women; : he crying and hallowing of children and boys, and the lurking anil qmmdlmg of stranger dogs. To look upon the scene, to mingle with tho crowd, to heten to the conversation, or to survey the tonnton.m ;es of the assembled multi ude, would lend to s u I.factory solution of the cause for which this mass of heteroge nous matter was r ongreg tied, \V.

Could these ho the voice of a muidorcr, and a inur-dcrcr’s wit’s and child Die brief audio be final interview hud passed however—those unfortunate ones had loudly commended each oilier to the keeping ol then heavenly parent, and parted—lie, to face the assembled multitude on the scuffed, I amt they as they sad to re! urn by journeys lo their sorrowful homo; the convict worn out with SiCkiioss and watching now s ept. II s nain° was John Creel, his place of re sidence said to lie in \ trguiia, 110 hud been 1 t ik. nup while travelling from the northwaid to Ins home, and tried and convicted at iho county town some miles distant, for the mur der ot a leilow traveller, who had borne Ins company from the lakes, who was ascertained to have a largo sum of money with him, and who was (omul in the room in which he slept, at a country inn, near Hedcliff with his throat cut. Creel always had protested his inno cence, declaring that the deed was perpeira led hy some one while ho was asleep, hut the circumstances were against him, and though the money was not found on him he was sen fenced to be hung ami was removed to the old stone jail at iiedcliff lor security, the county prison being deemed unsafe. Tins was the day the execution was to lake place; the scaffold was already erected—tho crowd pressed uiuiid the building, and frequent ones of “bring out the in ird' ror,” were li ard. I he sun at lost told the hour of eleven, and there could be no more delay—the convict’s cell was entered by the officers in attendance who roused linn with (he information that all was ready without, and b,d him hasten to his exc eiitiou—they laid hands upon him am] pm ioned linn tight while ho looked up toward heaven m astonishment, as one new born, only sail, “the dream the dream.” “Ami wffiatpf the dream, Mr. Jason!” said the sheriff. would do me a great kindness if yon would dream yoursclfund meoutot this cursed scrape.” “1 dreamed," replied the convicl, “that while yon nml the death warrant to me on the scaffold, a man came through the crowd, mid stood before us in a giny dre.-s, with a white hat and wh skers, and ihal a bud flut tered over Inn, and sung distinctly—this is Lewis, the niurdeier ot the traveller.” 1 he offi ins and j ulor held a short consul tation, vyliidi ended in a determination lo look sharp after the man in grey, with the while lial—accompanied vviih many hints of resig nation ol tho prisoner, and the possibility of Ins innocence being asseited by u siipcrmitu- I’til agency—the prison doors were c eared, and Creel, pale and feeble, with it hymn book in Ins hand, and a mien of all meekness and liumililV'Wus seen tottering from (lie prison to tho scatlold. lie had no sooner ascended it than his eyes began to wander over the vu-l concourse of p oplo around him, vv.ili a scru tiny that seemed like faith in dreams—and while Iho sheriff read warrant, the con vic’s anxiety appeared lo increase—he looked and looked again, then raised his hands and eyes a moment towards the clear sky, ns H breathing a last, tj tculat on, when lo! us he resumed his first position, tlm very person he described, stood within six feet of Ihe luddei!
