RICHMOND, APRIL 12.
Yesterday 1t will be seen wa. a day
81 business IN the House of Delegates.
which sat from 10 A. NJ. tn 6 r. NJ
" vas also a day Of excitement, the
debate on the proposition made by MIR.
Leigh, TOR conference with the Sen
ate on the Circuit and Chancery Co,r,
Dill, being stormy for that body. The
proposition was carried by n majority
oil 20, showing nearly. but not Exactly.
the relative strength Of the parties Tor
the single, aud double Judge system.
ihere was a sort Of clearing up to-
wards the close Of the debate, a mar.
tiaI restoration 1T good humor, and the
indication Of an increasing snir;t of
concession, which considering the great
interests az stake, and the fact tina,
the two Houses are this day 10 be
brought into actual contact, we hail
With much satisfac ton, as q favorable
angury OF the results Of the conference.
Wo hope the eOnferees will nut on
the whole armor Of patience and for.
bearance. and GO into the consultations
resolved TO fulfil the JUST expectations.
and provide for the indispensable wants
OF the country.
The Judges OF the Court Of A ppeals.

 A maa just keginning life marries a

Frieaads.-Every thing that Cicero has said in his treaties De .4,nicltia is very fine, and very good, and very true j; but he does not seem to have been alto gether aware of the fullness of meaning contained in the word friends. A man invitesa a few friends to dine with him. They come; they eat; they drink; they talk; they criticise; they depart. They have praise and blame for the cook, and they speak learnedly of the wine, and in nine cases out of ten, somewhat cen seriously of the host. For, either he has been too ostentatious in his liberali- ty, or too niggardly in his hospitality and he seems almost required to ask pardon of those he has fed for the man. her in which he has fed them. Then 1 the entertainer becomes in his turn the entertained, and takes his turn also in the delights of culinary criticism, and friendly consciousness. These are 1 friends by the table, cemented by the various combinations of fish, flesh and fowl, closely adhering so long as that lasts which holds them together; but that failing, they fail, and depart and separate.
 A man grows rich and rises in the world. Thereupon all his neighbor, and acquaintance congratulate him up on his good fortune; and are ready, 1T the plenitude of their wisdom, to teacf him how to spend his newly acquired wealth. And he that, before his pros Iperity, scarcely knew that he had { friend in the world, is now informed how
 delighted his countless friends are t hear of his success.
 A man grows poor and sinks in tll' I world. Forthwith he hears, or may hear if we have patience to listen to them lsagc lecture upon prudence, and man. ediifying dissertations on discretiol'.- .f And he receives many liumiliatnlg les [ son and observes many an altered look : and fe has . great deaIof pity and V ! " little help, and lie is recommends
