TIE Camninces.--The Committees detailed by the
Convention, now sit from 10 to o'clock, and are
besieged by numerous crowds, attructedby tie impor
lance of their deliberations, and the celebrity of many
who JOIN in the discussions. The Convention itself,
merely meets to adjourn, presenting the unheard of
spectacle, of dcliberative body whose entire num-
bers absorbed by its Committees, and which I'm
I'll those Committees shall report, has thing
do.
Interesting decisions were yesterday made in Sew
rral of the Committees In that ON the Legislature
(EIr. Madison, chairman) the two following PROPOSE
ions submitted by Mr. Joynes, were agreed to by
large najorities. l. Requiring member of the Sen
ate to be 80 years of age. ?. A member of the
House of Delegates, to bees years of age. Mr.
Joynes' advocacy Of these two propositions, was, ex-
ceedingly clear and satisfactory.
Flle Committee next took UP a resolution offered
by Mr.. Doddridgc, declaring that white population
only ought be the basis of representation in the
House If Delegates. EThe resolution originally en-
braced the Senate also, but was divided sugges-
ton This, the reader is appraised, is the great qt.cs
ton and its discussion before the Committee was ex
pected with intense interest, by crowded lobby and
gallery. The Debate was commenced by Mr.. Leigh
Of Chesterfield, oppositon, and closed for the day.
by briefrcpy from Mr.. Doddridgc 1t will proba-
by, be resumed to-day.
The Executive Committee, (Mr. Giles Chairman)
went to work yesterday, con datore, aud radieatiy
They have ad5ptoi tic following resolutions:

Commonwealth, ought 10 be vestedin Governor.

inability to discharge the duties and powers Of his
