When the Convention assembled for its eve ning session, Judge Berrien withdrew the sub stitute wnich lie had previously offered as the result of the conference. Mr. Dougherty, of of Troup, also withdrew the one which he had offered as a substitute for that of Judge Berrien, Mr. Charlton, of Chatham, then addressed the house in a short speech, and moved the inde finite postponement of all the substitutes ottered some days since, for the report of the Committee. On this (question a division was called for, in or der to take a vote on each substitute. The substitute of Mr. Haynes, of Hancock, was then ordered to lie on the table indefinitely— only ten voting in the negative. The vote was then taken, by yeas and nays, to lay that of Mr. Bi'ahk on the table—and the yeas were 172, nays 117. The substitutes being all thus disposed of, the report of the Committee of Thirty tame up fur action, on the amendment made to it in Com mittee of the whole. Mr. Scbingeu moved to strike out 6000 as the ratio for two members, and insert 5000—yeas 140 nays 148. Several amendments were discussed, in rela tion to the classification of the counties, but they were all rejected. Mr. Jenkins then offered a substitute for that portion of the report which organizes the Senate. This substitute was the same which Mr. J. hud previously mid on the table and had printed, herc- Itofore published in this paper. Tins Convention then adjourned till 8 o’clock next morning. Thursday morning, May 16. The Convention met according to adjourn ment. Mr. Springer mov d to reconsider so much of the journals of yesterday, as related to 'wo refusal of the Convention to strike out 6'.'00 as the ratio for two members—yeas 130, nays 160. Mr. Dougherty offered a substitute for the whole report of the Committee and the substitute of Mr. Jenkins, which he advocated in a lengthy speech, which we shall hereafter publish. Mr. Stephens also addressed the House in an eloquent appeal, in favor of the substitute. He dep ocated the impatience manifested by the Con vention ; denounced the report of the Committee as unjust, unequal and of marked party charac ter, and told the Convention that it had not tried to do what ought to be done. Mr. Jones, of Muscogee, also made a few re marks on the same side. Mr. Charlton, of Chatham, then moved the indefinite postponement of the substitute—yeas 186 nays 99. The substitute of Mr. Jenkins then came up and was lost, but the yeas and nays were not taken. The report of the 1 'ommitlee was then adopted as amended, —yeas 181. nays 103. A vote of thanks to the President and Secretary —an order to print the journals of the Conven t tion, «fcc., closed the labor of that body. Another Fa cal S team Boat Explosion.— The last Mt. Vernon (la.) Courier, says, “The steam boat Avalanche, on Friday morning last while descending the river, about four miles be lown this town, collapsed a fine, killing three in dividuals and scalding two others so shockingly that no hopes are entertained of their recovery. If we arc informed correctly, all the men killed or wounded were firemen or deck hands. After remaining at the landing two-thirds of the day to bury the dead, she was taken in tow by another boat and proceeded on her voyage." Mississippi. —Times in Mississippi arc report ed to be awful. No debts collecting—no writs executing—the wheels of law and of business at a perfect stand-still. From the N. O. Bee, if the 14 th. From Mexico. By the arrival of the schooner Lone, from Tam pico, which place she left on the 6th inst. wchave been put in possession of interesting intelligence in relation to the contest between the government and tile federal parly, it seems that a prohibition of all intercourse with Tampico lias been declared. The port is now closed to commerce. A copy of the decree had been sent to cat h of the different » foreign consuls in the town. What course the latter would pursue was not known. A letter in the Courier of last evening dated ’ *■' the 3d instant, stales that general Mejia was on his march to Puebla and Mexico, ami that the government army under Bustamente. had taken up its march from Victoria for Tampico. Their ar ival was looked for in lo or 15 days. The federal force at Tampico was inconsiderable, and the troops destitute of money and resources. The same ie.ter mentions likewise, that general Inclain an 1 10(!U l oops had been stationed by the government at Perole an I general Vasques with Soon men at Huachinango, lor the purpose of intercepting gene.al Mejia should lie attempt to ascend the lalde lauds ol Mexii o. A conflict between the troops of the two parties is therefore evidently at band, and the next am- ' vals may be looked for with interest, as they will ' probably bringdittpfirttfiTFinformation in relation to nisting hostilities. We shall soon ascertain the real strength of the federalists, and how Ca they will he enabled lo resist the power, influeiu e, and force of the central government. From the New Orleans Advertiser of the loth. Texas. The steam packet ship Columbia, Captain Windle, arrived last evening in 36 hours Irom Galveston; by her we have papers to the 12th in stant. President Lamar, visited Galveston, on I the 7lh—on the same day, the French lri;.a e Ne riad, 64 guns; the steamship Phaeton, and Crudfi der, an 18 gun brig arrived otl'tlie port. .-Uniii tal Baudin, landed at Velasco, and proceeded to the capitol by land. Salutes were fired from the port and navy yard, as well as the steam ship Zavalca—and returned by the fleet,—The presi dent paid a visit to the Phceton. President Lamar left Galveston on the Bth inst., lor Houston. His return, it was believed, was hastened out of courtesy to the French ad miral. Balls and parties prevailed at Galveston; the French fleet was still off the harbor on the 12th, and an interchange of good feeling is Slid to lie kept up, between the gallant strangers and tlicTexian national officers and citizens. The frigate Ncriad got slightly aground, but was got oft’ by the Zavalla. after the New York failed in the endeavor. The weather must be much warmer in Galveston than it is here, as one of the papers says “ fifty bathers were at one point on the shore lastcvoning,—a bathing house is nearly finished—omnibusses and hackney coaches are thronged with passengers for the Gulf shore.” From the New York Commercial Advertiser, \ ith Upper Canada. The Parliament was expected to adjourn on Saturday last. Among the bills passed by the House of Assembly was one authorising the re ceiver-general to issue bills of credit, to the amount of £250,000, for currying on the public works; by another bill the receiver-general was authori sed to negociate a loan of one million in England at three and a half per cent, upon the debentures of the province. The Clergy Reserve hill, passed by the Assem bly, would probably be lost in the Council. The Assembly had thrown out a bill providing for the expenses attendant on the safe keeping of the prisoners taken at Prescott and elsewhere, on the ground that those expenses ought to be defrayed by Great Britain The following is from the Kingston Chronicle: We understand there has been a letter address ed to the captain of the Telegraph steamer, that he and Ids boat would he burnt if he continues to visit this port. It is either the production of some designing rogue interested in another boat, or the same trade, or of some mischievous person for a hoax. We can assure the captain and own ers of the Telegraph that their boat is as safe in Kingston harbor, from any violence, as good laws, jirtly and promptly administered, can make her, and, moreover, that the commandant, in conjunc tion with the magistrates, has given orders con cerning that boat while she remains here. A bill has passed the Assembly, appropriating £40,000 for payment of the losses sustained by individuals, in the destruction of their property, since the rebellion. 'The banks are to resume specie payments on the Ist of August. Homicide. —The Opelousas Gazette of the 4th, states that Hardin McNcw, of the Atchafala ya, was shot a few days since, on the Courta bleau by John De Priest, and died instantly. McNcw was intoxicated, and proceeded down the bayou with the avowed intention of killing De Priest and bis brother, who were on their way home in a skiff. He overtook them at Caswell’s on the bayou, where they had landed. A con flict ensued. While McNcw was in the act of drawing, or after lie had drawn a pistol, John De Priest who stood near, fired with ids rifle, and McNcw fell dead. De Priest gave himself up. and has been committed to await his examination.

In the south, whore pasturage is scarce, especially during dry weather, plantations of mnlbcr y trees, particularly morus multicaulis would be very valuable for this purpore alone. A hundred acres of morus multicaulis trees could be planted with less expense than it could be well seeded in grass, even if grass would live there, and the pasturage from them would be fully equal, if not more than it would be from grass, besides, the foliage would not be liable to injury during the summer drouths, but would rather be improved ivy the dry atmosphere and hot climate of the south. If a planter were to plant It),Dull cuttings in the sp ing of 1839, in an acre, in the spring of 1840, he colild plant at least ten acres ;• and in the spring of 1841, he could plant one hundred by merely propagating the trees in the ordinary way, and he would then have one hundred acres of tne best pasturage for cows that can lie produced, at the cost originally of two hundred dollars for the cuttings, slid the labor of propagating them three years, which woulu not lie more tliau the labor of cultivating corn. Besides all tins the trees may be planted on his worn out lands, where they do well, and 1 111 me course of five or ten yearn they will im prove the soil and make it fit for cot ten or cotton crops. Where a large number of cows are kept, j fitly to one hundred acres might lie planted lor I the purpose; but generally, when only half a diien cows are kept, ten acres only ne.d be I planted. Whatever be the quantity of land, 1 however, it should lie divided into eight or ten fields, so that the cows might be turned into them successively five to eight days each, and by the time they return to the first field, the Ib liigc will become fully restored,and so on. The I ,r<> es ought to lie two years old before the rows I arc allowed to feed on them. lam satisfied that i thin suggestion, if carried into practice, will a‘- fird our southern friends sn abundance of the finest milk and butter—articles now they are not much acquainted with. I know from experience that mulberry leaves increase greatly the quan tity and quality of the milk and butter, and can see no possible objection to the plan. G. B. S. ’ The morus multicaulis can be multiplied fifty fold, but I have taken ten fold as a very moderate increase. New York Etelnfirmart—The surgeons of the New York Eye Infirmary, Drs. Edward Dclaficld, Kearney Rogers, James Edw. Cornell, and George Wilkes, have in compliance with the law made their annual report to the Legislature, for the year 1838, from which wc extract the fol lowing. Furingtheyear 1838, eight hundred and eighty seven patients were Dented at the infirmary. There remained under treatment on the first of January, 1838, forty five; forming an aggregate of nine hundred and thirty two patients prescri bed for by the surgeons during the year 1838. Os this number, 751 were cured; 49 relieved; 22 declined treatment; 16 were discharged us in curable; the results of 38 cases were not ascer tained, and 56 remained under treatment. From IheN. Y. Commercial Advertiser of the I '6th, It will be seen that U. States Bank Sock sold this morning at ÜBj, which was the closing price. This is an advance of lj( on the sales of Saturday; and, wc believe, arises from the ad vance of exchange on England. While ex change is selling in this market at 9J, there is very little probability of the stock of the United States Bank being lower than 118. General Bank Law. —Tire Albany Journal of last evening contains a talde prepated by the Comptroller, showing the rise and progress of banking associations, formed and forming, under the general law passed by the Legislature of 1838. The forty three banking associations which had been formed on the 3ttth April, have deposi ted $2,137,090 in state stocks and $851,316.13 in bonds and mortgages, making a total of $2,- 996,406 13 as security for the redemption of their notes. Up to the same period, the notes dclivci* ed by the bank department, to these 43 banks for circulation, amounted to $1,590,818. Os this sum there were 67,500 notes of the denomination . of one dollar—l 62 848, of the denomination o two dollars—2l,6l4, of the denomination of three dollars—l74,3oo of the denomination office del* lara—2l,6lo of the denomination of ten dollars —and 450 of the denomination of one hundred dollars. The amount of notes ordered by these 43 as sociations is $4,251,111. So far, it will he seen, only about a million and a half of dollars have been added by the associa tion to onr circulation. This moderate increase will quiet tlie apprehensions of those who appre hended an inflation of the currency. Several of the associations mentioned in the table, have since tile 30th April, deposited their securities and received their notes for circulation. Among these arc the Bank of Commerce, Now York ; the Howard Trust and Banking Company, . of Troy; the Itallston Spa Bank, the Fort Plain hank, the Bank of Vernon, &c. American D igukbroscofe.— -A discovery similar to that of M. Daguerre, of France, and Mr. Fox Tolbert, of England, has been made by a gentleman of Cincinnati. The Republican newspaper gives the following accounlof this new mode of making pictures. “Some experiments on the subject of photo genic drawing have been made by 1 rofessor Locke of tiro Medical College of Ohio, and with entire success. He prepared paperchemb ally for tlris purpose, placed it under some astronomical diagrams, which were then exposed to the sun’s rays. The now picture was in a few minutes formed and removed, and a process used by which the figures were permanently fixed. 'The speci mens ■which the Doctor has left in our hands are in every respect satisfactory. They look as though they had been most carefully engraven. The difficulty or mystery connected witli the matter is to retain the picture which the light has formed on the paper. Tlris has been overcome, and the curious may satisfy themselves with what suc cess. by examining a few small specimens which we have left at Mr. Flash’s book store.” An act has passed the Legislature of Virgin to prevent persons from carrying on business un der fictitious names. It enacts that no person shall transact business in tire co-partnership name S.of himself and any other person who is not lia ble for all the debts of the firm ; nor shall any one sign his name as agent, without specifying the name of the principal; and no one shall use the words “ and company,” without an actual .partner. It farther enacts that property in the * name of any one trading in his own name with the addition of the words “agent,” or “and com pany,” who docs not specify his partner, shall be liable for the private debts of the individual so trading. The Town Clerk in a aertain town, as the cus tom is, having published the bans of matrimony between two persons, was very aptly followed by the clergyman reading the hymn commencing, “Mistaken souls, who dream of heaven.” Discharging Clouds of the Electric Fluid. —M. A rago has proposed apian lor dis charging clouds, in case of storms, of the electric fluids which they contain, and thus preventing the frequent occurrence of hail-storms, which as is well known are generally produced hy twoeur rents of clouds, charged with positive and nega tive electricity crossing each other. It consists in an improvement upon Franklin’s experiment of the kite with which he obtained an electric spark from a cloud, and afterwards Dr. Rornus of Neras, and Messrs. Lining and < harles, of the United States, produced electric flashes three and four feet in length. Mr. Arago recommends, that a small balloon, properly secured, armed with me tallic points and communicating with a ripe co vered with metallic wire, like a harp string; should lie kept permanently floating in the air at a con siderable height over the spot which it is wished 1 to preserve from the effects of lightning or hail; \ and he expects, that, by such an apparatus as this, 1 , a cloud might have its electric contents entirely ' I drawn off without any damage being eatised, or 1 that, at least, the intensity of a hail torm would , i lie greatly diminished. The experiment is so j simple that it is well worthy of a trial.— Gali.g- I nani’s Messenger. I Stkimboats I v the West.— lt appears there >are now S7B steamboats running on the western and southwestern wafers. Os this number, ac cording to a statement in the Daily Advocate, no less than 130 were built in Pittsburg. But the statement or enrollment of I o ils is for the Ist of January last; and since that period, it appears from the Advocate's paragraph, that 21 steam boats have been built ami cleared, and 9 new boats are in progress of construction, at Pittsburg —thus making 1 GO steamboats now afloat Air soon to be, on the western waters, from the shipyards of the western Birmingham.—The whole num ber of steamboats on the western and south-wes tern waters, may then be stated at 409. And within the memory of middle-aged rnem, there was not a “solitary” steamboat on the western waters ! A Splendid Booty —Tar. Horrors of War. —One of the moat successful military ex peditions ever made, if wc consider merely the amount of plunder acquired by the conqueror, was that of Nadir Shah into about a century since. If we maybclicve the accounts of historians who have written on the subject, the amount of the booty which fell into the j hands of the Persian Shah alone, was valued at ! £87,500,000, or very near $400,000,000! It consisted principa’ly of money and jewels, and the remainder was made up of rich studs and furniture, warlike weapons Ac. The celebrated “Peacock Throne,” on which the Mogul empe rors were wont to sit in slate, and which from its immense value and gorgeous beauty—for it was literally made up of precious stones—was the wonder of the oriental world, fell into the hands of Nadir, who also carried with him, on his re turn lo Persia, near 2(1,000 elephants, camels, and horses, together with crowds of skilful arti ficers, &.c. An amount almost as great as that acquired by the Shah, is supposed to have fallen into the hands of the Persian officers and soldiers, or to have been wantonly destroyed hy them, during their military operatic ns or while engaged in plundering the unfortunatc^inhabitants. The amount of human suffering which the Persians inflicted upon the country which they invaded, was on a scale ns great as the plunder which they reaped. For upwards of seven suc cessive hours, the great city of Delhi, the capi tal of the Mogul empire, was ravished by a hun dred thousand barbarous soldiers, who had re ceived orders to full on ami spare not. They fulfilled their orders in the same spirit in which they were given. Historians differ as to the number of their victims but the I est informed of them rate it about 150,00(1! Not all of these, however, perished by the Persian sword; for many of the higli-casle Hindoos, finding their fate incvltaiile, rather than permit themselves and families to he insulted by the ravngers, first mur dered every member of their establishments, and then set fire to their residences, and finally fell by their own hands. The condition of Delhi, during this lime, in the graphic language of the eastern writers, “afforded an apf type of the day of wrath and judgment at the end ol the w >rld.” Nor were the cruelties inflirted during the march of the Persians lo the capital of a less fearful magnitude. Towns and villages disap peared before them, as if they had been destroyed by some sudden convulsion of nature. In col fe. ting the subsidy wbiDi the Mogul monarch r a '' agreed to pay the Kraian, as the price of pea r tortures of the most horrid kinds were in ti * ’e 1 upon Hindoos of etvyy rank and in great numbers. Truly, there should be much in the “pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war,” to atone for its horrors, for they arc manifold. Who would not be a Faiimer? —ln this glad season, when the earth is all around bursting into life and beauty, and nature is keeping holi day—when winter is over, and vegetation is walk ing again from its deathlike sleep—when the birds sing their matin song from every bush, and man himself wakes to new life amid the activity around him who would not be a Farmer !—For him, and almost for him alone, bloom the fair flowers in nature’s field—for him the feathered s ngster pours her sweetest note, and for him the face of creation wears a constant smile. Not so with the inhabitant of cities, or with the profes sional man or the man of business, any where. These arc shut out from the blessed influence of nature. Their business is with men restless, am bit ous, and oftentimes dishonest men—they them solves are all engaged in the eager scramble for wealth and distinction, sometimes caring little whom they thrust down with their unhallowed tread, so they mount upon the wreck, and they I *so the salutary lesson of benevolence which roiy lie learned from the ways of Providence in the outward world. They must maintain a constant struggle with temptation, or yield to its power, Accustomedto so much of evil, they are eome times almost templed to deny the existence of goad. But the fanner pursues the even tenor ol Ids way,” undisturbed hy the passion* of men. His dealings are with nature, and he may, if he will not shut his heart against it, learn true wis dom from its teachings. In the springing grass, the opening flower, and the ripening harvest—in* sunshine and in shower—he may sec a token of God’s love and goodness, and in the quiet of his own home, he may almost forget the existence of evil. Thus widely different arc the conditions ol the two classes spoken of. Yet we sometimes find farmers discontented with their lot, and eagci to join with their fellows in the feverish excite ment of trade and speculation. And very often we see young men, impatient to leave their pater nal acres, and to seek, as they vainly think, some more honorable or genteel mode of earning a liv ing.—They had rather show a lily-white baud to a lady, as they measure off a yard of tape, than exhibit a manly, muscular frame, with a band which does not shrink from contact with imple ments of husbandry. It has, indeed, beiome one of the great errors of our time, that young men are deserting the true nubility of the country, for the sake of wearing a more delicate complexion, or living, as they vainly hope, more at their ease. Hence ii is that all trades and professions are overstocked, that we have more lawyers than el,- ents, more doctors than patients and more parsons than parishes. We hear men complain of hard times, mechan ics cannot find situations, yet the country is actu ally suffering, and very seversiy too, for a want of proper attention to farming, and why is it? Be cause many a man who should have followed tlia plough, has become too proud for that, and in his aspirations to lie a gentleman has undertaken to wield a pen or administer Cataplasms and boluses. To tiiis state of things, too, is to be attributed to some extent, the presen' scarcity and high prices of provisions. The production has been allowed* to full below the consumption, and tiiis great pro j du ting oounlsy, with its sparse population, lias presented the strange anomaly of impi rtiug brs.wl slud's from tile thick settled countries of Europe. It is all wrong. Voting men should be taught to i regard the employment of their fathers as one of ! tb* most honorable in the world. Y .ur farmer is the independent man.

Beef at twenty-five cents a pound, and other edibles in propuilion, does not worry him. He takes the favors Providence so bountifully bestows upon him, and'asks few of his fellows. While want afflicts the rest of the world, he may snap his fingers in his face, as much as to say, “ Who cares for you?”— Nashua Telegraph. Important Chemical Discovery,—One of the most valuable improvements in modern times has lately been achieved in the manufacture of soda from common salt, by the use of carbonate of ammonia, instead of the pestiferous method ] | hitherto employed in the production of that alkali, j j The inhabitants residing in the vicinity of the 1 I soda i tanufactorics at Birmingham, Liverpool, j 1 Newcastle, Glasgow. «Scc., owe the inventors of j j this invaluable improvement a heavy debt of gra j titude, as by this discovery they have put an end il° dreadful nuisance which the public have so long endured. The necessity of decomposing the chloride of sodium by sulphur no longer ex ists, the newly discovered process being perfectly free from all noxious vapor. Another important advantage is also secured—namely, that the im proved method cun with little additional outlay be adapted to the manufactories at present in ope ration. an 1 the workmen, who have hitherto been frequently thrown out of employment, and subject to the loss of their wages in consequence of the j numerous indictments that have been laid against their masters for nuisance, will no longer he sub jected to this evil. This process, when submitted to an eminent chemical lawyer for his opinion, was pronounced by him. to be one of the most brilliant and ingenious discoveries’ in modern chemistry. #■ The Cleveland Herald states that within nine miles (at the nearest distance,) from Lake Erie is a Lake whose waters are elevated seven hun dred and twenty feet above those of Lake Erie and on this elevated body of water, a steamboat ol one hundred tons burthen plies.
