departure, the number had been reduced
TO 800! Six or seven deaths were occurring
daily. The Colony itself was considered
unusually healthy, for Sierra Leone.
Sickness al Fernando Po.-By late ar
rival from Fernando Pc, says the Editor,
we learn that the mortality here during
the past season, has been sncommonly
great. So much so, at one time. that the

disease was 30 desolsiing that the Com
mander in Chief gave orders that fifteen

Such a fact seems almost incredible; but

VIRGINIA. LEGISLATURE.

The Session is evidently approaching ii. Termination
Probably about Tuesday or Wedne sday next it will
wind up II. labours.
The Virginia Bank Blu Is at last decided. The two
Houses were at variance about the degree Of inf ence
which shall be exercised by the Comnonw eah in a.
meetings Of the Stockhoiders.-The question be fore
the House OF Delegates yesterday, was, whether the
should adhere to their Engagements to the amanj.
ment Of the Senate, or whether they should so amend
the BILL as to give the Legislature the right whenso-
ever they thought p'oper any extraordinary occa-
sion. 10 control the decision of the Sockh oders by
Commissioner selected Tor that purpose, leaving the
Treasurer on other occasions to have only about 30
vo'e'i the meetings Finally, they Determined TO al
here aud not TO anend-and a messag. 10 that effect
wHsent to the Senate. We understand that the Senate
hareceded from lis amendment, To which the III OF
~ had disagreed-and the bill is now Of course a law.
The House are engaged in bill to proven, the cir.
cuiaon Of sedi ions writings calculated to operate on
particular part OF our popuation-And upon this point,
alster wa' yesterday laid before them from the Gov
srnor, covering commune alton from II. G. OTIS E.q.
