VIRGINIA LATURE-JANUARY
HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

| HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
On Saturday, a communication was received
| from the Senate thar they had passed the bills,
entitled can act 10 incorporate the Agricultu-
| raj Societies of the Valley in Virginia and of
the county CT Albemarle; and San act autho-
| rizing the Stockholders Of the Farmers Bank
of Virginia to locate an Agency or Branch Of
said Bank at the town Of Danville in the coun-
" of Pittsyl.ania F"
| The House according to the order of the day,
resolved itself into Committee of the whole
House, to take under consideration, Report
of the Committee of Finance, Mr. Patteson Of
Augusta in the chair; and after some time
spent therein, the Speaker resumed the chair,
and Mr. Patteson of Augusta reported, that
the said Committee had, according to order,
| taken the same under consideration, and agreed
to sundry amendments thereto, which, together
with the said report they had instructed him to
report 10 the House.
On motion OF Mr. Blackburn, the said report
and amendments, were ordered to be laid upon
the table.
(Among the amendments adopted by the
Committee was one to subject .Auctioneers TO a
tax of a per centage on all goods, sc. sold by
them: and one, to tax the Keepers Of C0nfecti0na-
ries, and the Keepers of Oyster Houses.-An un-
successful motion was made TO require the
Keepers Of Private Boarding Houses to take
OUT license)
The following Resolutions from the Commit
tee Of Roads and Internal Navigation were read:
Resolved, AS the opinion Of this Committee,
that the petition Of James Wheatley Of Eau
quier county, stating that the petitioner owns
and now occupies landed property, with mills,
SC. on the North side of the Ra2pahannock
river in said county, as well as large manufac-
turing establishment of -four, SC. Immediately
on the opposite side Of the river, in the county
of Culpeper, called the new mlll-Thal from
high water he is frequently prevented from
passing and repassing The said river without
great difficulty, risk and personal danger-That
great public as well as private convenience will
result from the accomplishment of the petit
toners object, and praying that he may be
permitted by an act Of the Legislature to erect
toll-bridge from his land, SC in Fauquier,
across the said river to some convenient point
near the new mill, in Culpepper, with such tolls,
and under such rules and regulations, as the
Legislature may deem proper, is reasonable.
Resoiued, As the opinion of this Committee,
that the petition of sundry persons, resident
upon Deep Creek, in the county of Norfolk,
praying the passage Of law repeating or so
amending the existing laws, regulating the du-
ties and fees Of the Harbor Masters of Norfolk

CANADIAN WINTER.

The annexed fanciful, though doubtless accu-
rate description, OF the scene which followed
departed stors,, is from Quebec paper Of the
18th ultimo:
On Tuesday morning every twig Of the trees
was covered with ice upwards Of an inch in dia-
meter, and the whole surface Of snow on the
ground, coated with ice above an inch thick, re-
sembling in appearance an immense plate OF
pure unburnisbed silver. Every substance ex-
posed to the rain was also coated with pure
trans parent undulated ice.
Such phenomena are Of frequent recurrence
in this climate, in lesser degree; but so thick
a coat Of ice formed on every substance expos
ed to the wind and rain has seldom occurred,
certainly not during the last twenty years. II
produced effects which could hardly be imagir-
ed. The roaring Of single sleigh on the road,
where the snow had not been hard beaten down..
was louder than the rafting Of coach going
full speed on a pavement. II were impossible
for any animal 10 travel, who was not armed
with points 10 penetrate the crust, or heavy e.
nough to break it; in which case, his legs were
wounded and in constant danger Of being bro
ken.
No person could have gone half mile into
the loTeStS, "iluout 'ectih5 SSIlaih oS"'" iiO".
the falling of branches loaded with ice. The
surface under the trees was strewed with their
wrecks; the sharp sound oflhe breaking branch.
es was frequent, and the noise OF the falling ice
on the frozen surface was like an incessant roar
Of musquetry at the distance. Young trees be-
ing supple rested their heads on the ground,
forming beautiful arches Of ice. The stoutest
and most branchy trees suffered the most, ex-
cepting the furs and spruce, whose branches
rested on the ground, or collapsed against the
trunk, forming lofty pyramids and obelisks OF
colored ice. When the Ueyglas was heaviest the
wind had fallen, but on every gust that arose,
the creaking of the ice, occasioned by the slow
and heavy motion Of the trees, was as loud as
the sound ola storm in ships rigging during
a gale.
Before the conclusion Of the rain it no lon
ger froze as it fell on the surface, and then it
formed streams and pools in the ho!lows Of the
plate of ice which encrusted the snow. These
pools gave the color of water in new situa-
ton; il was nearly sea green.
The injury to the fruit and forest trees must
be great. Many wild ANIMALS must have been
killed in the woods; the timidity Of the hare
may have caused its destruction, and the poor
partridge who nestles every night in the snow
and feeds on buds, must have suffered severely.
All the smaller winter birds must have also
suffered, although the delences Of nature and
instinct which preserve SO many Of them, SO
small and apparently helpless, throughout our
long and most severe winters, has ways incom-
DrehensibIe to the proud intellect of man.

FLORIDA NAVIGATION,

Since Yesterday We have heard it stated in
conversation, that the injury sustained by dis
as,ers at sea in the Gulf Stream, and that d.
rection; ale even too near a million of dollars,
instead Of 100000. A great part Of this i'm.
mense sum may be a total loss--probably one
half If the projected Florida Canal were cut
through that territory, 10 the Gulf of Mexico,
it is generally believed that those numerous dis
asters would be in great measure prevented
1t is very singular that the losses OF the present
navigation of that par. OF our new coast, for
the space Of one year only, would perhaps do
more than pay for the erection OF such canal
The importance Of that inland navigation is
not by any means confined to Florida. Every
sea port from Maine to that territory, that
trades to the Gulf Of Mexico, would be I'M
mensely benefited by the construction Of such
ship canal Indeed, We, do not know any
work of so great importance to trade and COM
merce, since the completion Of The Erie canal,
as the one through the territory OF Florida
would be. 1t is to be hoped that Congress will
give more than talking attention to this sub
]ect.

and Portsmouth, as to permit vessels from
New-York or any port, bound to Deep Creek,
to pass up the river, and consequently through
the harbor Of Norfolk and Portsmouth, without
being compelled 10 pay the Harbor Masters
the fees usually paid BY vessels bound TO that
port, be rejected.
These Resolutions were agreed to by the
House.
On motion of Mr. Harvie of Richmond City,
RESOLVED, That the Committee of Finance be
instructed to enquire into the expediency Of
repeating the laws prohibiting the sale Of tick
cts in Lotteries, not authorized by the laws Of
this state, and Of authorizing vendors Of such
Lottery tickets to obtain licenses, and Of laying
an annual tax on such licenses.
