WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10. Nearly a week of the most valuable timed both Houses of our Legislature has been spent in en lightening the world or upon banking and cur rency, by the (1 i cuss ion ot the Sub-1 reasury res olutions, of which there were at least a dozen dis tinct sets introduced. We are happy to an nounce that one branch of that body has finally acted and passed the resolutions ot Col. Howard, of Muscogee, with some amendments. It weea.i only got a full and ample report ot all the speech es delivered and utidolivend, and all the in.iqnifi. een ideas engendered in the brains ol members, too big for utterance, we shall he able to make a publication in an abridged form, ol about for ty-five volumes, which will be the text hook of all bankers, merchants, financiers, political economists and tradesmen to the end ot time ! All other works upon the subject, wib become obsolete, and such small try as Gallatin Crawford, Dallas, Calhoun, Clay, Webster, tl iit omne genus, \\W be forgotten, or if remembered f only to be laughed at for their supreme stupidity and ignorance! This vexed question of the curren cy which bothered and puzzled these men all their lives, has been settled in less than a week by the sages of the Georgia Legislature! Think of that!! Congress cun adjourn now, and go home, there is no longer any use for such a set of drones —Our legislature has done the business for them and the financial machinery of the Government will work well in future! Laus deo, what a sa ving there will ba to the country, by this final set tlement of that perplexing question! The following is from the Recorder, of yester. day.—We will give the resolutions hereafter as passed, together with the yeas and nays. Resolutions on the Sub-Treasury, introduced by Mr. Howard, of Muscogee, on Friday last, were passed on Saturday night, by a majority of 21 votes. They are very similar to those before in troduced by that gentleman, with some additions and modifications. We have not room for them I this week, we will give them to our readers in I our next.” Hamburg. Bv a statement transmitted to Mr. Shultz, Tn tendant of Hamburg, by the Cleik of the Council it appears that the value of the real estate of that flourishing place, is §286,595 00. This property was estimated by the Court of Equity of Edge field District in 1821 at only §7OOO. Thu Theatre. We learn that the Theatre in this city will bo opened for the season, on Monday evening, the 24th- inst., by Mr. Abbott. The Crops—Colton. A gentleman who has travelled through the whole of the up country, informs the Editor op the Darien Telegraph, that the corn crop, and crop of small grain is very deficient. The cotton % iS at least twenty-five per cent, less in amount than I last/ear. Planters who made 400 bags of upland 1 last year, will not make more than 100; and some Sr expect to make little more than seed. The early ’ frost has been very destructive indeed. This in- I formation, the Editor says, may be relied on. benjamin F. Butler, Esq., on the 12th inst., assumed the duties of the ollice to which he has just been appointed by the President, and took the requisite oath before Judge Betts. Abolishment of the Express Mail. The Charleston Courier states that an arrange ment is in embryo, by which the great northern mail will be received via Wilmington—the Wil mington and Halifax Company having made such arrangements as to be enabled to run a daily line ' of boats between Wilmington and Charleston, thereby anticipating and rendering unnecessary - the continuance ofthe express mail from the north. On inquiry we are led to believe that nothing bu a failure to make a contract with the Charleston and Hamburg Rail Road company, will prevent this route being adopted within a short period, and we most earnestly hope that this object may he accomplished. The Milledgcville Recorder of yesterday, says o,j Friday, the House ro-considered so much of the journals of the day before, us relates to the re. jection of the bill for the relief of the citizens o. Stewart, for losses sustained by the Indiana; also the bill to authorize the sale of State Scrip, fo r the completion of the State Railroad ; likewise i t J reconsidered its action of the day before on the I College bill, by which those sections of an act in ■ relation thereto, granting an annuity of §G000 ( V was repealed. These measures have therefore Myvt ’/o be acted.” I 'k new Patent Rule, Baxley's Water » Proof Rifle. —Wo have seen a Rific invented K by Mr. Payley of Portland, (Me.) which when f loaded admi sos 15 distinct discharges. The load k: »ng takes ph.c ■ in the breech of the gun, through B a cvlindri. al conducting tube, passing into a ro reiving chamber, and in the tube are 16 sliding ■ chambers loaded with powder and bull. In the I rp ceivlng chambers the lock acts upon the sliding ■ chambers striking through, with the greatest pre- I i issiou and perfect safety. The lock is of a very ■ simple construction ou the guard of the gun, more ■ 1 simple, and not more cumbersome than in a co i - man gun. The rifle we have seen is a beautiful one:—and though not much versed in these mat ters, yet vve feel at liberty to say that whoever wants to do killing by the platoon, or gunning by the flock, cannot find, at least as we think, any instrument so wonderfully adapted to their pur \pose.—N. V. Express. / From Camilla. The New York Herald of the 13th, contains the following additional intelligence to that pub lished in our paper a Jay or two since, in relation to the recent operations of the Patriots on the Ca nada frontier. Highly important lioin the Frontier—A Iresh outbreak—The Patriots again in motion. By last evening's mail wo received the sub joined important particulars of fresh Patriot move ments. They have, it appears, recommenced operations at a remote point. Several skirmish es between the Patriots a id the British troops have proved favorable to the former. To those who are acquainted with the locality it will be seen that by obtaining possession of the. points west of Tilbury, the Patriots can run a line from Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie, through Kent Coun ty, and thus keep the regulars at bay tor a long time, or until they push further into the heart of Canada. These fresh movements of the Patriots will have a material elfect on the sentence ofthe pris oners in .Montreal and Kingston. Patiii ot News from the West.— Tur. 8..0w Struck. —The steamboat Wisconsin, Capt. Power, arrived from Cleveland this morn in brings us the following important intelli gence. The Patriots amounting to one hundred, cross ed over the Detroit River, to Sandwich, burned that village to the ground, and the British steam boat Thames; were joined by two companies of the Royal Militia, and are now on the march through the London District ! where it is expect ed they will be joined by several thousands of Patriots 1 In a skirmish with the Queen’s troops, several of the latter were killed ; we cannot learn how many. Tbo gentleman who brings the information stood upon the wharf at Detroit, and saw Sand wich and the steamer in flames. The blow is struck and wc shall see different work from what wc have yet had in either Pro vince.— Buffalo Daily Mercury,Hilt inst. We give this rumor just as it comes to us, al the same time expressing some little doubt of its entire correctness. It may be, and very probably is true, that a hostile incursion has been made from our territory, a few houses plundered and burnt, and sonic shots been exchanged between the marauders and the inhabitants. But that any successful stand has been made, on the Brit ish territory, or any serious “rising” taken place, we can sec no reason for crediting. The outra geous exaggerations of the warlike doings of last winter, in that quarter, do not particularly incline us to be over credulous and hasty in believing the “nCWs” Which CRM. from tl.ot direction. Wince the above was in type, wc have received the Cleveland Daily Herald A Gazette, of Thurs day, which is filled witli rumors &r. which indi cate the absurdity of the prevalent report.—Buf fi to Advertiser, Dec. 8. Intelligence came this evening by (he way bill from Detroit, that the Patriots have possession of Malden. They took it with immense slaughter on both sides. The Patriots took 175 prisoners. A report was current at Sandwich yesterday that a number of Patriots were in the woods iii the London District, preparing for an attack. An express from London for Malden passed on Mon day. Ten pieces of mounted cannon, chiefly 24 pounders, with a large quantity of military stores in rived at Malden on Friday last,— Cleveland Herald Dec. 6. Military Movement.—The steamboat Con stitution arrived from Buffalo to-day, with a com pany of United States troops. We have not learned their destination—probably Detroit. Gen. Scott arrived in the Columbus stage last night and took lodgings at the American. We understand Gen. Scott will repair to De troit, when he leaves tbo city,— Sandwich H raid. Nov. '271 h. What reliance is to be placed upon this news of course we know not. There has doubtless been some movement, because Theller is in the neighborhood, but wc doubt the occur any of all the extracts given above. In addition we have the following from Lower Canada. The following is the statement of Van Shultz, the brigand leader:— The statement was read, and was in substance that the prisoner is a native of Poland, aged 31, and his father was a Major in the Polish army at the battle of Warsaw. The prisoner also rose to be major in the Polish service. In 1836 became tj the United .States and settled at Sulina, as a chymist. Was induced to join the “Hunters” or “ Patriot Masons” by Mr. Stone of Sulina who also presented him with the flag that was taken at the Mill. He was told that the people ol Canada would receive them with open arms, and that even the British regulars would join them on their landing. Trusting to these representations he embarked with others in the United States al Oswego, took the two schooners in tow laden with men, three cannon and munitions of war, was baffled in the attempt to land at Prescott, but finally landed at the Windmill with one hundred and eighty men. Ho soon discovered how he had been deceived, as no aid come to them, nor did any one join them. But as ho had no means ol returning to the States, he strengthened his position as tar as possible, and made the best de fence he could. They are all quarrelling about which ought to be hanged first. The Montreal Herald says: “We would recommend that the Scotchmen should have precedence in being hanged, us a Scotch rebel is, out and out, the greatest black guard the world can produce.” Here is the national classification of the, pris oners at Prescott. 131 Americans, 1 Scotchman, 9 Germans, Poles, 4 Upper Canadians, and French, 3 Irishmen, 9 Lower Canadians, 1 Englishman. Ix in as MODE of Lynching— Horrid Scene. We learn from the Wisconsin Democrat of Nov. 13th, that after the payment of the Menomonecs at Grand Chute, an Indian (no doubt intoxicated) entered a wigwam to murder his brother, who however escaped, leaving his squaw, who was im mediately stabbed to death by ihe infuriated sav age. Not satisfied with this, ho immediaU ly mur dered also the sister of the squaw, and then stab bed bis own wife. The whites present succeeded in binding him hand an 1 foot, but surrendered him to Ids tribe, who fell upon him with their knives in the most ferocious manner, and killed him on the spot, then threw him on a fire and burnt him to a cinder, t 1 Mu.

Anti-slavery Convention. The friends of Immediate Emancipation in Fair field county, are invited to meet in Convention on the 12th December next, at 10 o’clock, A. M. at the Baptist Meeting House in Redding, (George town) ou the Turnpike from Norwalk to Danbu ry. It is ofthe utmost importance for the cause in this County and State, that a full delegation be present from every Local Anti-Slavery Society, and Town, where no such society exists in this county. It is expected that Judge Uirney, 11. B. Stanton, Rev. Goo, Stores, from N. York, and Rev. Nathaniel Colvcr, will come from the State Convention, to be huldcu at Middletown on the sth inst. and be present to address the meeting. N. B.

The Stamford (Connecticut) Sentinel says (hut ou Wednesday evening last the Baptist Meeting House, in Redding, in this county, was blown up by a gang of “Joe King’s” men, to prevent the Rev. Mr. Colvcr from lecturing on abolition in it, A keg of powder was placed in the centre of the building, and fire communicated to it by a slow match. The pulpit was entirely destroyed, and the House shattered in such a manner as to ren der it untenantable, until it shall have been re built. This is altogether a new method of put ting down tree discussion. It is what neighbor [chabod would call a “blow-up argument.” From the Baltimore American Dec, 14. From itamsbnrg. Our accounts by the Susquehanna Rail road cars are that every thing was quiet at Harrisburg throughout Wednesday. A part of the volunteer force which had marched to Harrisburg hail been ordered home by the Governor, their presence be ing deemed no longer necessary. One account states that one half of the volun teer force had been dismissed, and that the Gov ernor had drawn on the State Treasurer for >SOOO to defray their expenses, which the Treasurer had refused to pay. The senate and two houses of representatives sat on Wednesday, but we have as yet, no account of their proceedings. OOVKHNOII’s ELECTION. The official canvass ol the votes for Governor took place at the capitol on Wednesday, and the result was declared to be as follows: Aggregate vote for Porter, 127,831 do do Kitner, 122,325 Majority for Porter, 5,500 ffjf 1 Since the above was written, wc have seen a slip from the Harrisburg Reporter, of yesterday morning’s date. In the Senate, on Wednesday, a resolution was 1 offered, proposing that the Bonnie proceed to nom inate candidates for the office of U. S. Senator, and that a teller lie appointed on tile part of the Senate. The motion to give the resolution a se cond reading was decided in the negative. A committee ofthe Van Burcn division of the House subsequently appeared in the Senate, unit announced its readiness to proceed in the election of a U. S. Senator, but the Senate had already decided, as slated above, not to go into the election. At the hour of 11 o’clock, A. M., the Speaker ol the Senate proceeded in the presence of the members of the Senate and House of Representa tives, to read the election returns from the sever al counties for Governor, the result of which is given in the paragraph above, on that subject. After the business of counting' the voles for Governor was completed, the Houses separated, and the Senate proceeded to consider the resolu tion ou the subject of the contested election in the Bth Senatorial district. An amendment was otlered by Mr. Bell, and advocated by him. Mr. Pearson spoke against the amendment and in favor ofthe original reso lution, and finally the amendment was rejected and the resolution adopted. In the Van Huron division of the House, Mr. McElwee, from the committee appointed to in quire into the cause of the presence of an armed ■force, made a report which was afterwards with drawn.

Mr. Wright, as chairman of the committee of Finance, this morning introduced the important proposition to postpone the payment of the fourth instalment of the surplus revenue. The post ponement was intended to be indefinite. Mr. Ulay, with some few remarks, moved to amend Mr. Wright’s proposition by limiting the postponement to the first of January 1840, when the money should be paid, unless a postponement was made to a day beyond. After a long debate upon the subject, the .Senate adjourned, without coming to any conclusion. house of uechesentativks. As soon as the Journal was read, Mr. Kennedy declined asking the suspension of the rules upon his resolution offered yesterday. Several members endeavored to get the floor, but were not able, Mr. Adams offered the following resolution, which the House declining to receive, he moved a suspension of the rules, and asked for the yeas and nays, which were ordered. The following is a copy of the resolution : Resolved, That the powers of the House being conferred hy the Constitution of the United States, no resolution can add to or deduct from that, power. 'l’iic motion to suspend was lost ayes, 75, noes 124. Mr. Sergeant, of Fa., (hen asked and obtained the reference of a communication from the .Secre tary ot the Treasury upon the subject of steam boilers. The whole matter was referred to a se lect Committee. Mr. Calhoun, of Kentucky, a ked leave to of fer two resolutions upon the subject of Slavery of a practical character, and not, lie said, upon the abstract propositions which had been considered. The House refused to receive his resolutions. Mr. Wise inked leave to offer several resolutions upon the subject of Slavery, which were read. He said he offered them as expressing the opinions of himself and some of his colleagues. He hoped ll c House would receive them and he pledged ; himself not to deb? e them if they were received.

Bunns. — The Louisville Journal ofthe sth instant says:— “We perceive, by the Ht. Louis Republican of I hursduy, that Col. Benton, under pretence of returning thanks to the Missouri Legislature for his re-election to the office of Senator, has writ ten a teller of instructions to that body. This letter, in nearly all its parts, is in direct opposi lion to the message of Gov. Boggs; and the evi dent intention of it is to prevent the Legislature irom adopting His Excellency’s suggestions.— The Senator says he regrets from the bottom ot his boar! that he cannot be a member of the Mis sion Legislature during the present session, in order to aid in curing the evils of the Banking system, lie advises the passage of a law, that no Bank in Missouri shall lie allowed to issue notes ol a denomination less than one hundred dollars, and that the Bank notes of all oilier states shall he excluded from Misson i, without regard to their am unit, or the place from which they come! Suck are the preposterous vagaries of the finan cial gad ol the present administration.” New Printing Press.— There is no end to American skill and science ; lor, no soanerhas one great improvement been made, than another fol lows. It was a roma.k of a man of distinguished scientific attainments at Washington, Mr. Jones, alter having observed the ninny astonishing im provements made in printing presses, and the high stale of perfection to which they had been curried, t hat ho never expo, ted “t) sec the press improved,” The same gentleman we have been told alter wit nessing the operation ofthe new press, invented by Mess s Win. and Tiios.Hehncbly of Hagerstown, Maryland, exclaimed— ‘ I will never again say that any piece of machinery is so perfect that it may not lie improved.” 'J his press is now set up at the new and extensive machine shop of Messrs, Merrick St Towns, in Southwark. It is a very simple machine perhaps we should say its most remarkable feature as its simplicity, which we should think would make it extremely easy to keep in repair. The power is applied through the medium of an endless screw and the lever. A small cog wheel unites with the screw, which is turned by a man with great case. There are two eylimlars either side of the phi tin. These, revolve at intervals adapting them selves to the movements of the press. The sheet is fed over one ofthe cylinders, and by a reverse rotatory motion produced Ly a very ingenious ®P r ing, the sheet is immediately after receiving its impression, brought back und' deposited beneath the cylinder over which it has passed under the platin. 'Flic lied is arranged entirely upon a new prin ciple, viz:—it is inserted-ou the side, and may be instantly removed with the form upon it at plea sure. This press is calculated we are told, to print twenty-live sheets, per minute : and may be af forded al §BO, a price much less than any power press of equal rapidity. We expect 0/ see more of its operations, and shall take another occasion to speak of it, us we may think. —Philadelphia Herald.
