STATE LEGISLATURE.

In the House Representatives, on the G:1 inst. Mr.
Lumpkin, from tr e Select Committee to Who was
refer red so much of are communication of the Governor
es relates to the improper interference of the United
States' Government with our domestic aWa;i a, presented
the follosing Report and Resolution:
" The Comnii.tee to whom was referred so much of
the Governor's ;message as relates to the disposition
which has so often latterly unhappily evinced itself in
the different ibranches of. the General Governaient to '1
coatroul the dome.,tic affairs, and to intermeddle with,
and
.10 endanger the peace, the repose, and union of the
Southern State', after deliberating on this subject with
the deepeA Icings of sor row anA regret, have to pro-
claim, that the hour is come, or is rapidly approaching,
v. hen the States from Virginia to Georgia, from Mis-
souri to L must confederate, and as one man
say to the Unipn—. We spill no longer submit our re-
straiw,(l rights to the snivell ng insinuations of bad men
on the flour ( f Congress_i.ur coosiitutional rights to
the dark and strained constructions of designing men
upou judicial lit:inches; that we protest the doctrine,
and disciaim the winds le, of unlimited Submission to
the General Government.'
Lie gleatest objects of the American Union were
as si.nple in practice as beautiful in theory; they were
Its easily understood as they were important; the rela-
tiona with foreign nations were confided to the United
tiovernment. The powers necessary to the protection
of the Confederates' Sts;es front er,etuies without, and
from enemies within, alone were given. All others
were retained to the several States as separate and sove-
reign, and must not be u%urped by construction—legis-
lative, eseentive, or judiciary..
$ When from 1770 to 1776, the. Government rf Bri-
t.in was levying a war of restriction upon Wagon and
tl e North, no narrow feeling, no unworthy suspicions,
no sectional jealousies, were harboured in the bosoms
sit tt e Inert of the South, but with one voice, and with
simultanty-us impulse, from Virginia to Georgi 1, they
united their fats with their colonial brelhren. When,

fi.ten 1801 to 1811, the m'glity powers of France
auJ L iglarei, in all things else hostile to each other,
cent iced to drive from ihe seas of the world the ships
and tl e commerce o the Northern States, the men of
the Sou:11 did not meanly stoop to calcelate the cost,
bet resolving that the wrorgs of a part were the wrongs
of the. whole American family, proclaimed defiance to
both, and conquered and won on the mountain wave,
and in the marshes of the West, the freedom of the
trade of the world.
41 Muse we the feelings we brought into the confe-
cielacy wi.h these we shall leave it, if unprincipled
men prosper in the unholy work of demolishing the
noble, the august, the splendid fabric of our union.
"The States of the South will convey the products of
a fertile soil and genial climes to the markets of the
world. The world will open wide its arms to receive
them. Let our northern brethren, then, it there is no
peace in union, it the coinpact has become too heavy
to be longer b rr.e, in the name or all the mercies find
peace *along themselves. Let them continue to rejoice
in their seli-rigliteousness ; let them bask in their own
Elysium, while they depict all Louth of the Potomac as
a liii!eous reverse. As Athens, as Sparta, as Rome was,
we will be; they held slaves, we hold them. Let the
North, then, form national roads for themselves, let them
guard with Tariffs their own interests, let them deepen
their public debt until a high-minded aristocracy shall
rise out of it. We want none of these blessings. But
in the simplicity of the patriarchal Government, we
would still remain master and servant under our own
vine and our own fi-tree, and confide for safety upon
Hut, who cf old time looked down upon this state of
things without wrath.
"Be it therefore resolved, by tke Senate and House
of Representatives of .the State of Georgia, in General
Assembly met—That we concur most heartily in the
sentiments on this subject, communicated by his Ex-
cellency the Governor, that ' having exhausted the
argument, we will stand by our arms,' g and for the
support of this determination we mutually pledge to each
ether our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour.'
" Be it further reiulved—That his Excellency the Governor be
requested to forward a copy of these resolutions to the Executive
of each Sate in the Union respectively, with a request that they
lay the same before the several Legislatures, and that his liacellency
do also forward a like copy to each of our Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress, instructing the former, and requesting the
latter, to co-operate in all national measures having a tendency to
thwart the object herein deprecated."
The above report and resolutions were read and laid GO the table.
It was ui.derstood that when they we re called up, a substitute
v old be offered for thew.

EXTRAORDINARY INmsFIGATION.
RESUMED INQUEST ON THE CHILD SENT ET

SOUTHAMPTON COACH.

Last night, at eight o'clock, this investigation was
resumed, for the fourth time, by Mr. Htuos, the Co-
roner, and the usual number of Jurymen, at the house
of Mr. Sambrook, the Regent's Arms, in Regent-street,
Vaaxhall-roa.l. It will be recollected, that on the last
evening on which the inquiry was held, it was resolved
that a second summons should be forwarded to Ar.

Lyford, the surgeon and accouchenr, 'requiring his
attendance in London to explain, ifisossible, the mystery
the affair was attended with ; aueyesterday that Gen-
tleman arrived, and was in attendance before the Jury.,
As the particulars of this extraordinary transaction have been
before published. we will now only give the following additional
testimony touching the subject in question.
Mr. Henry Lyford was then.called in, and said, that
he did not receive the first summons till two days after
it was returnable which was the reasoa he did not
attend the last inquiry. Ile then stated, that about
two or three month, ago, a Mrs. &urges., living in the
Church•yard, at Wincir ster, engaged him to attend her
daughter Janc (who was pregnant) in her confinement.'
He, according to his engagement, attend .d I:cr on
Mon:!ay, the 4th instant, and she was safely delivered
of a child,—it was a large healthy infant, but he could
not now state on Oath the sex of it, although lie noticed it
at the time. When the child was born, he gave it t
old Mrs. Sturgess, and she gave it to a girl n tined Sapp,
who is about 19. The child was in excellent health,
and cried very much; and on his giving the infant to
its grandmother, she said, " I was in hopes it would
have been born dead." About two hours after, lie was
called to Miss Stu/gess, who, he was given t under-
•tand, Was very ill; he attended directly, and found
nothing alieg I er ; .and on gi.ing out of the r: •m, the
old L •dy followed him, an.l sa d tie child was dead.'
At his ,equest Ie saw it, And ain his es res.itilr his sur-
prise, .11- c-tid it ded snort after its bit th. Wirne-s did
I) • -
not think the child had been wa,hed. (The ail.] sent
in a basket had no; been washed). 11.: susvects at was
a male child, but cannot say po,itivt.iy.
The Coitosuit lyre informed the din y, that since the'
last investigation, Mr. White, the Magistrate, had laid
the affair before the Secretary of State, who had written
to Winchester, desiring an immediate investigation there,
into the affair, and in consequence he had rec. ivied a
packet fr.ma Mr. Newbold, the Magistrate, enclosing
the depositions of several persons examined b. fare him,'
which he would read, and they would then act upon''
them a, they thought plover. The depositions a eie
then read: they went to prove that in several conversa-
tions the deponents had had with, the mother of Miss
S urgess, she described her infant as a fine b y. Tut
fa her of the child, whose name is Hubert Brown, was',
also told that Jane's child was a boy.
The CORON lift remarked, that after all, they could
not trace the child stnt to London to the woman Sturi.!
gess. Although the presumption might be strung
against her, yet he considered that if they returned a
vet dict of murder against Jane Sturgess, she would
never be convicted.

Mr. Holt, the surgeon, sail, that he was with Mr.
White, the Magistra:e, when he waited upon the Se
cretary of State, why, expressed his opinion that he
feared they would never be able to trace out anything
here, whatever mizbt be done at Winchester.
'rile CORONER said, that no proof could be obta7ned
of any female child having been illezaly obtai ed as a
substitute for the one sent to London. This the Jury
would weigh in their minds befute they found a verdict
against the young Lidy.
Juror.—There are two circumstances that act very strongly
against Jane Sturgess—which are, that .he partly owned the apron
that the child was wrapped in; and again, Mr. Lyford titchros
the child that be delivered her of was very large, and tl:c one
owned by Jane Sturgess, and which had been eahuntated, wa. a
small one.

Mr. Lyferd said, he saw the child that had been dibinterred,
and did not consider it to be very small; but whether it was a.,
large as the one he delivered the woman of, he could not take upon
himself to say.
The C011024E11 said, that whatever the verdict of the Jury might
be, the business umiakd not be dropped, as the Magistracy at Win-
chester had received orders from the Secretary of State to prose-
cute every inqatry possible.
The Jury then deliberated, and after some consultation, returned
the following verdict : " Wilful Murder against some person or
persons unknown."

Thursday evening. between six and seven o'clock, a
dreadful act of homicid.: was perpetrated in Cio)don-
street, Mary-la-b)nne. .1 man named Alexander Dale,
living in the street, was seen to go towards No. 11, the
house of an old soldier, named John Dillon, horn he
called out. On Dillon asking what he wanted ? he
commenced a volley of abuse, and swearing a dreadful
imprecation, flew at him. Dill retreateJ across the
street a few paces, but was followed up by the other,
who struck him once or twice on the back of the head.
Dillon turned round, and holding up his hand., endea-
voured to parry the blows of the ruffian, who struck
him two tremendous blows on the temples, and then
letting go his bold, the unfortunate Dillon fell insen-
sible. Several of the neighbours rushesi from th,ir
,houses, amazed at so sudden an outrage, and endea-
voured to secure Dobie, who one person said held an
iron clock weight in his hand, but he fought his way
through them with great desperation, and sacceeded in
making his escape. Dillon was raised up, and on being
taken into his house, expired. Mr. N rth, a Medical
Gentleman, instantly attended, ancj from the extensive
injury on the temples and bead, judged that the blows
were given with a very hard substance. Information
of this was instantly sent to the Mary-la-bonne Office,
but although the constables of that establisl•ment were
directly on the alert, they could not discover the re-
treat of Dobie.

GUILDHALL, TAUNTON.-•-.A JOK Good-
man was lately summoned to answer the complaint of
Abraham Whitham. The defendant was charged with
fraudulently obtaining a hat from the complainant who
is a hatter in this town, by pretending that he had been
authorised by one Wilcox, a pu.blican, to apply to
Whitham for it, and that Wilcox would pay him. It
appeared, however, that Wilcox had said to Goodman
(after remarking on the badness of his hat)," Go to Mr.
Whitham, and get yourself a hat, and say I'll pay for
it." Goodman accordingly procured from complainant
a cheap hat, which he chewed to Wilcox, who objected
to it as not sufficiently good, and ordered Goodman to
pet himself a better bat and say,' I'll pay for it." The
defendant then went for a better hat, and obta'ned it on
Wilcox's cied.t. Wilcox, who was present, explained
to the Bench, that he did not mean to promise to pay
for Goodman's hat ; he meant only that the latter should
on procuring the hat, say, "I'll pay it." The Magistrates
dismissed the charge against Goodman, and recom-
mended Wilcox to pay for the hit, which his joke had
rendered him undoubtedly liable to do, both in law and
in jU3tiCe.

SPANISH BULL-FIGHTS.

31/atnirk, .Tuct 1...1-n the bull-fights there are Nee
sorts of actors : the first, those that combat with
the animal on horseback ; the second, succeeding
them, stick darts, surmounted by little banners in his
back, and the last kill him by driving a sword down
between his shoulders. Of the latter there are but two
persons ; and, on the present occasion one of them was
a Liberal and the other a Royilist. The Liberal took his
turn first, and as he was very expert, he killed his bull
with the first blow; the Royalist, less successful, dealt
five blows against his poor victim without succeeding,
in depriving it of life ; on the contrary, the fat ions crra-,
titre caught him after his last attempt, and tosted him
high, in air. He fell, however, without receiving
any injury, and returned to the charge again. Now
the bull happened to be of a black colour ; and when
his assailant was renewing his attack, o:,e of tl.e spec-
tators vied with a Stentorian voice, " Take good
Sombrero, (this was a nick-name of t'te bull tighter), for
there it some difficulty in killinz the Negros (i name
give:v to the Constitutionalists), and peolle cant do it
As they wish." Theze was nothing mo:e wanting to
excite disorder among all present at the exhibition,
which terminated only alter several st tbs had been
given by both parties present.
