giving the Judge 10 dollars DAY, and 3
dollars mile age iCr every 20 males
Mr.. Nay moved TO strike out the $40
day, and leave the mileage.
hlr. Briggs doubted II the Judges
would consent 10 act without compensa-
ton enough at least to pay their daily
expenses. lie did not think it reasona
bic ia the Legislature to ask 1t. lie mo-
we'd TO allow them tive dollars day.
NJ. Mcilhaney would be glad to ac-
cept the bill III any shape-but he tho't
that some compensation ought TO be q.

Mr.. BlackoTsn supported the propo-
silion to allow $40 day
Mr. Carter, oil Pr. " iliiam, supported
the ball, and a reasonable compensation.
lie hoped the House would think no con
stitutionai objection involved IN this bnl,
as 1t proposed no permanent judicial APP
polntment
Mr. Finks was opposed to the coni-
pensation per diem, and TO the bill itself,
which he thought unconstitutional.
Mr. Gholson was favorable TO this bill
provided the mileage only was retained.
The great objection to the other bills
which had been rejected, vas, that they
constituted sinecures IN these Offices
Seeing no such objection to this bili be
was disposed to vote for it on the condi-
tons mentioned.
The House negatived Mr.. Briggs
mendmeRt
MIR. Watkins. of P. +. felt it his duty
10 vote for the bill, whether the per
diem pay was allowed or not. He no.
ped. however, that pay would be allowed.
Mr., Witcher supported the motion to
strike out the per diem allowance.
he motion to strike out the per diem
allowance, was carried in the affirm t''Ue.
he question recurring ON the passage
of the bill, Mr. Kiger said thatthe bill, as
il was without any compensation to the
Judge, was mere mockery to Judge
Whites district That district had ask
ed relief in various ways and been de-
MED. He considered this bill tantamount
to no relief. But bad as it was, ineHi-
Client as he thoug,t it, he was disposed to
take it rather than none.

TARIFF Of TOLLS.

The bill modifying the Tariff of Tolls,
on James River, being on it's passage,
Mr.. Harvie of Richmond moved to re-
consider the vote on engrosslng the bill
with a view TO reduce the tolls ON Co"Is.
Mr.. H. explained the reasons which
induced the motion A decided MAORI
ty of the communities, who had consi-
deied the subject. thought the toll on
Goals unjust oppressive and impolitic.---
II persisted in, the Golfers would be
driven to desert the canal and resort to
wagons. Ifreduced to a reasonable COM
pass. other Golfers would resort to the
river, who now use the road such too
vas the situation of things in the north
ern market. that without this facility al
lowed our Golfers in getting to market,
they must be finally driven fro all the
northern markets, Mr. II. moved there
fore to reconsider the vote with view
to reduce the toll from one cent five
mills, to one cent.
The motion was opposed by Messrs.
Witcher. White. and Anderson of She
nandoah, on the grounds that the prac-
tice Of suspending the rules was impoi-
tic--that there had been contrariety
of statements before the committee
that the Golfers on the river got to mar
ket cheaper than those who used the
road and that this canal being made
for the special benefit of the coal trade,
they should not complain of the toll il
had been found necessary to impose on
them. Before the canal was construct
ted, an average load of coal was 400
bushels--now it was 1000 bushels This
advantage more than counterbalanced
the increased toll
Mr.. Harvie replied extensively to the
gentlemen who opposed his motion
The House refused to suspend the bill
The question recurring on the passage
OF the bill, il was supported by Dir. Pat
terson OF Nelson and passed.

FATAL EFFECTS OF MATERNAL AMBITION
Maria Theresa believed that her daughters
beauty would have proved more powerful over
France than her own armies. Like Catharine
III. her envled contemporary, she consulted no
ties Of nature in the disposal of her children.
When they grew up, they became the mere in
struments of her ambition. The fate of one Of
them will show how their mothers wordiness
was rewarded. A leading object Of Maria The
resa's policy was the attainment of influence
over Italy: for this purpose she married one Of
the Archduchesses to the imbecie Duke OF Par
ma. Her second naneuvre was to conrrive
that Charles III. should seek the Archduchess
Josepha for his younger son.. the King Of Ma
piles. When every thing had been settled, and
the ceremony, by proxy, had taken place, it was
thought proper to sound the Princess as TO how
far she felt inclined to aid her mothers designs
in the Court of Naples. "Scripture says," was
her reply, "that when a woman IS married, she
belongs 10 the country Of her husband "But
the policy of the state.' exclaimed Maria The
resa. as that above religlon?" cried the prin-
cess. This unexpected answer of the Arch
duchess was so totally opposite to the views Of
the Empress, that she was for considerable
time undecided whether she would allow her
daughter to depart, till, worn out by perplexi-
ties, she at last consented, but babe the Arch
duchess, previous to setting OH for this much
desired country of her new husband to go down

MUSIC
Music, ike the morning light,
Breaks upon the opening day,
Chasing far the gloom ofnight,
With her soft efulgent ray.
Music, like the tender sigh
From maiden's virtuous breast,
Or the tear from beauty's eye,
Falls upon the heart DISTRESSED.
Music, like the oceans moan.
Spreads afar her solemn notes;
Or the breeze at early morn,
AS on the ambient airit floats.
Music, like the promise given
From the skies to man below
Music, like the voice of heaven,
soOthes the heart Oppressed with woe,
Music, like the still small voice
o. conscience, free from every pain,
Music, bids the soul rejoice,
In her sweet harmonic strain

the door Of that in which the Empress stood
was thrown open. She was magniicently dress
ed, and standing with her hand placed on CO.
lumn; her majestic air, the dignity Of her ap-
pearance, her naughty glance, and somewhat
theatrical attitude, striking me with surprise,
tended still more to confuse my memory. For
tunately, instead OF making useless efforts to
recall ii, | suddenly adopted the resolution of
making an ertempore speech, in which there
were not perhaps two words of that which had
been communicated to the Empress. and for
which she had prepared her reply. A slight
cegree oil surprise was expressed on her fea-
lures; but this did not prevent her from answer
