MONDAY MORNING, DKCKMHF.It 24. We understand that the hill creating a General Banking Law passed the Senate of this state on Saturday last, at 9 o’clock, P. hi., by a vote of 42 to 38. The following gentlemen, were on Tuesday ast, elected by the legislature, of this State, Com missioners of the Western and Atlantic Kail Road. Joseph Crawford, Samuel Farris, and Thomas Hamilton. Messrs. Troup, Mitchell, Palmer, Holmes, Snow, Rockenhaugh, and Hopkins, wore at the same, time elected Directors ot the Bank ol Da rien, on the part of the State. On the following day, Messrs. Bulloch, McAl lister, Lamar, and Milieu, were elected Directors of the Bank of the State, of Georgia, on the part of the State. Messrs. Styles and Myers, were also on that day, elected Directors of the Planters Bank of the State of Georgia, on the part ot the State. and Atlantic Uailroad. The following is an extract of a letter received in this city, from a contractor on this road, dated Cobb County, Dec. 13th, 1838. <• Perhaps it would not be uninteresting to in. form you of our progress since our commence ment. The 3d section, in DeKalb, (if we are. fa vored with good weather and our present force.) can be completed in from four to six weeks. The sth section, in Do Kalb, will take from eight to ten weeks. We have been retarded in our ope rations here, by many of the hands taking the measles, but fortunately it has not proved fatal in no instance. The Ist section, m Cobb, will re quire some considerable time, as it. is the largest and was the last commenced; but to make up for these defects, we will put on an increased force. We h ve completed three Piers of the Chattahoochee Bridge—a fourth one is nearly done, and the abutment in Cobb is in prosperous advancement. The whole line of th» ™.,1 far as commenced, (and very little of itisotherw.se,) generally speaking, i« in a prosperous way, there being two or three sections finished.” The Liverpool steamship was spoken on the Bth inst.

Mb, Enirou —Much interest having been ex cited on both sides of the Savannah river, by the recent proceedings of the legislature of South Car- Carolina, in relation to the application of the pro prietors of the new bridge, at Augusta, to that hon orable body for a charter, to relieve them from the y'mbarrasment which they have experienced from In exclusive privilege attempted to be conferred on the old bridge, by an act of South Carolina alone, in opposition to an act of the State of Georgia ; the following statement is submitted for the purpose of diffusing correct information on the subject, and preventing the circulation of erroneous reports. It may be necessary to premise that the new bridge was built under a charter from Georgia, and that during the progress of the work, it was first decided by .Chancellor Dcsaussurc, then by Chancellor Johnston, and aftewards by the Equity Court of Appeals, that the parties to the enter prize had a right to proceed, and the repeated ap plications for an injunction by the Bank of the Slate of Georgia, were thus three times rejected. But the Equity Court of Appeals, having been equally divided in opinion on this question, the ease was carried by the. Bank to the Court of Errors, of that State, which after having been also for a time equally divided in opinion, in Dec. 1837, after one of the Chancellors who was op posed to the injunction had resigned his office, and before his successor was appointed, decided by a majority of one, that for want of a charter from South Carolina, an injunction should issue, restraining the defendants from keeping or em. ploying their bridge for public use. The five Judges of the Court of Errors, who were op posed to this decision, were Chancellor Desaus surc, Judge Job Johnston, Judge Richardson, Judge Gantt, and Judge O’Neall, and the five in favor of it, were Chancellor Harper, Judge David Johnson, Judge Ear!, Judge Evans, and Judge Butler. Yet with such weight of authority in favor of the rights of citizens of Georgia, with a charter from their own State, and without one from South Carolina, to the use of the Savannah river, the Hon. Edmund Bellinger, jr., of Barnwell, stated in his place in the House of Representatives of South Carolina, on the 15th of Dec. 1838, that he for one would not grant a charter to the new bridge, if in consequence of ins refusal, the Sa vannah river should run with blood, or words to that effect. The honorable gentleman, no doubt, i is of opinion, that there are a great many submis- j sionists in Georgia. Before this decision was ; pronounced, the proprietors of the new bridge, i fearing that the vexatious litigation which the j i bank had instituted would continue long, that the i scries of decisions in their favor might be reversed, applied to the Legislature of South Carolina, for i a charter, which they had learned, for the first I time, in the summer of 1837, that State had re served to itself the right of granting at any time by a general law passed in 1827, three years be fore the act, renewing the monopoly in favor of file old bridge was enacted. The application however, was refused, and soon afterwards the decision of the Court of Errors, was pronounced by which the injunction was ordered to issue. That process was served on the principal proprie tors in Georgia, in March last, and was strictly obeyed at much inconvenience to the propirctors and public. Tbc owners were permitted to use it, but they were so few in number, and had so little occasion to pass it, that the benefit they de rived from this permission was not equal to the salary of the bridge keeper whose employment was necessary to prevent the public from passing. The refusal of the charter by South Carolina, in 1837, appeared so extraordinary, that the pro prietors of the new bridge were easily induced to believe what they were told by several distinguish ed citizens of that State, that in 1837, their up" plication was not sufficiently understood, and that on a second application in 1838, the Legislature of South Carolina, would probably avail them selves with pleasure, of the opportunity of re moving all cause of collision with the State op Georgia and her citizens, by respecting their riglq of way over the Savannah river, when assorted by the authority of their own State. According ly after all the necessary steps had been taken which the law of South Carolina requires to be observed in such cases, u petition for a charter for the new bridge was presented to both houses du ring the last week it. November, 1838, which was referred by each to its Committees of Roads, Bridges ami Ferries. A printed statement of nil the facts, with copies of all the material documents relating to the subject was placed within the reach of every member. After much delay and the hearing of counsel for and against the appli cation, the committee of the House reported fa vorably, and that of the Senate unfavorably The Committee of the House reported a bill which was read a first lime, and made the order of the day, for Saturday, the 15th December. It was taken up, at the appointed time, and ably supported, by the Hon. John A. Calhoun of Ab beville, Col. B. F. Perry, of Greenville, Col. C. G. Memminger,of Charleston, and the Hon. W- V'. ° r Columbia, and opposed..!)} the Hon. John Philips, of Charleston, the lion, A. Burt, of Abbeville, the Hon. F. H. Ward law, of Edgefield, the Hon. F. N. Dawkins of Unioi;> the Hon. Edmund Bellinger, Jnn., of Barnwell, and the Hon. Edward Frost, of Charleston. The Hon. F. H. Wardlaw, who had been counsel for the bank, and the Hon. N. 1,. Griffin, who had been counsel for the owners of the new bridge, were excused by the House, from voting. The question was taken after nearly three hours debate, by yeas and nays, when the hill was re jected, by avote of 78, to 31. Thus proving conclusively, that the Stale of South Carolina, notwithstanding her professions of attachment, for the principles of free trade, persists in con tinuing a monopoly, over the Savannah river, in direct opposition to a law of the. State of Georgia and furnishing pretty good evidence, that she will renew the monopoly, in favor of the old bridge, at its termination, if not sooner. If this assumption of power is quietly submit ted to, by those whose rights it invades, the State of South Carolina will have the entire control of the Savannah river, and no bridge will be permit ted to span it, without her leave. It is worthy of remark, that the exclusive privilege from South Carolina, in favor of the old bridge, extends only over the Savannah river, and has no reference to any bridge, or part of a bridge, which may not be over that stream, and that no part of the new bridge extends beyond the Savannah river, when ft is full. In fact in high river, the water of the river passes the northern end of it, in a strong current. -No law has yet been made by South Carolina, to prohibit the building of any number of bridges in that state, by any proprietor on bis own land, except over Savannah river, and here t he citizens of Georgia, has the right of way, by the Convention of Beaufort, and his property on either side of that stream, whether it consists of boats, bridges, or other possessions, cannot be lawfully assailed or interrupted, merely because it is found there. According to the doctrine maintained by the legislature of South Carolina, and by an accidental majority, of the judges of her Court of Errors, neither state can authorize the building of a bridge over the Savannah river, but each may build a structure half way across, which in point of fact, would bui d no bridge at all, but merely a wharf. Whereas the doctrine hereto fore maintained for fifty years has been that either state could charter a ferry ora bridge, but neither could give without the consent of the other an exclusive privilege, and in the grant to one of the Steamboat Companies it lias been decided, that even botli States, could not lawfully give a mo nopoly. But it has been said that the faith of the state was pledged to the owners of the old bridge, and their charter to the new bridge could not be grant ed without the breach of it. Few persons who examine attentively the general Act of South Carolina, of 1827, respecting bridges ferries and turnpike roads, will he sincerely of that opinion. Col. Memininircr, and the Hon. W. F. Desaas sure whose legal acquirements are equal to those of any other members. of the present legislature. as well as many other distinguished me in Ivors are of a different opinion. But if tier faith were truly so pledged, it was long before pledged to Gcorgja, and her citizens, and her course would l>e to buy from her own grantees the exclusive privilege, and leave the rights of the citizens of Georgia’ uninvaded. But the supposed pledge of the faith of the state to monopolists, which was no doubt, sin cerely believed by some, was by others only used as plausible excuse for encouraging the trade of Hamburg, at the expense of the citizens of the upper districts, whereas, those citizens have as good a right to trade to Augusta, if they prefer to do so, as the citizens of Hamburg, have to trade to Savannah, or the citizens of Charleston, have to trade to New York. The prosperity of the whole state, is hut promoted, Ivy leaving each sec tion of it free to trade, where its interest requires. But admitting for the sake of argument, that this position was union ible, still it, would be improper for South Carolina to interrupt the citizen tS Tennessee, North Carolina, or Virginia, in his passage through th it state to Georgia, or any state beyond her limits. But 1 leave farther comment to others only ex pressing the hope that the result of these startling proceedings miy be to discourage monopoly and to strengthen and support the imperishable priu . iplcs of FREE TRADE AND EQUAL RIGHTS, Mu. Junks: I am pleased to see by the circular of the Faculty of Franklin College that they have made arrangements for a course of study exclud ing the ancient languages. In the period of three years a student may pass through all the branches of Mathematics that arc taught in the University ; he may attend the lectures and ex periments on Natural Philosophy and Chemis try, Mental and Moral Philosophy, Natural His tory and French, and in fact all the studies of college which relate to the moral or natural scien ces may be pursued, without drudging one’s way through the languages of nations and people who have long since ceased to be. I confess 1 am re joiced at this plan. Tho’ I may lie singular in my opinions, Latin and'Greck seem to me unne cessary and barbarous appendages to our system of education. Oar age demands the useful at.d the practical. To our people it is not sufficient to say that, the literature of Greece and Rome al ways have been parts of the system of liberal education; wo think for ourselves and ask, why are they now 1 The spirit of our time is ulilita r.au, and justly so: Why shall we not then se* *eet those subjects of study, which, while they devclope the understanding and all the powers of the mind, have at the same time a hearing on the every day business of life. But perhaps it is use less to reason on this matter in order to show which is best; it is enough to say that the pro posed course of study, by concentrating the mo.J important of the college studies so as to be pur sued in a short time and without previous prepa ration, deserves the approbation and favor of the public. Through the medium of your paper. Mr. Editor, I would express my hearty approval, and recommend it to the friends of education generally. BENTHAM. Affairs in Canada. A letter to the editor of the N. York Commer cial Advertiser, dated at Montreal, Dec. 10, says that the Court Martial sitting there had adjourned, at the wish of Sir John Colbornc. There ap pears to lie but little doubt that its creation and proceedings are illegal, extraordinary tribunals of this character, for the trial of civil offences, hav ing been expressly prohibited by a late Act of Parliament. The news of the Detroit invasion had reached Montreal, as early as Tuesday, the 11th, at To ronto on the 7th. On receipt of the intelligence at Toronto, the right wing of the 73J regiment was despatched to Brantford, and the left wing marched from Kingston on the 9th for same destination. These movements are said to have been caused by a ru mor that two thousand Kentuckians were march ing to the frontier, for the invasion of Upper Canada. The Detroit Advertiser, of the 10th, mentions the detention of Governor Mason, at Huron, by severe illness, which makes it doubtful whether lie will be aide to reach Detroit for some time to come. General Scott, arrived at Detroit, on the morn ing of the 9th. The following is the only notice we find, con nected with Canada or the enemies thereof. Patriot Movements. —We learn that the lead ers of the Patriot forces have resolved to abandon their enterprise for the present, and a good por tion of their men have gone to their homes. The result we arc informed has been brought about by quiet influence ; judging from the character ’ of the men who have been instrumental in effec ting it, wc are inclined to believe that reliance may he placed on the present determination. It is pretty certain that whatever may he their de termination, the authorities on this side will keep a sharp eye upon any movements that may here after cause disturbance. Later from England.

Cotton— -Little worth particular notice has oc curred in the t otton Market since our preceding eircu ar, transactions having been, as is usually the case afteran extensive business, on a very confined scale; the extraordinary bad weather has also con tributed in a great measure to the present inactivity, occasioning at intervals a total suspension.
