VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

RICHMOND, january 4.-The House of
Delegates adjourned yesterday at an unu
snally early hour, in consequence Of having
no business before IL. We have never wit
messed a session at which there were SO few
subjects, either of public or private ma
torc, 10 be acted upon, nor at which the
members seemed more determined to act,
and less disposed 10 talk. 1t is believed
that the session will be brought to a close
between the Goth of this month and the LIST
OF February. Such result cannut he but
gratifying to the whole state. II will stop,
Tor the present, the complaint heretofore
so justly made, that the length and erptnse
of the session bore no proportion To the
rdfue or importance of the work done.
