Our correspondent A. B. upon whose

is not the fact. True, the company il
disposed TO progress with the work TO

ted; but 1t is equally disposed TO at
tend TO its existing engagements and
liabilities. IL proposes, We under
stand, to make q satisfactory arrange
ment with the late proprietors Of con
demned land, and one or two banks 10
which it Is indebted, and to use its
available means in meeting engage
ments already made and TO be made
with contractors and laborers. To
this arrangement, we apprehend, nc

Gold Coins.-we learn from the
Journal Of Commerce. that the Table
OF the Value Of Gold Coin. which We
and others have copied from Biek-
neli's Reporter. contains some errors
concerning the value Of the different
species Of Gold Coin after the SIst Of
this month. The errors were ocea-
sioned, Il appears, by the industrious
compiler having been misled BY follow
ing \ copy Of the bill in the form in
which IL passed the House Of Repre-
sentatives, before 1t had passed the Sc
nate. Errors Of this sort. caused by a
reliance on information through irregu-
lar channels, are not uncmomon. They
are indeed frequent. As We have
published the iai1 on Domestic Gold
Coin, and also that relating to Foreign
Gold Coin, and thus put exact informa
ton on the subject an possession Of our

TENNESSEE CoNXENTIoS

The Tennessee Committee has not
yet finally settled the basis Of represen
tation, on which SO much time has been
spent in debate. The propositions
heretofore agreed to. separately. were
at last, when presented n . whole. re-
jeefed by the committee Of the whole.
A single resolution was then adopsed
in committee, June 3Oth) agreeing to
the free bdsis," declaring that every
man Of the age Of 81 years. a citizen Of
the United States and inhabitant Of the
county in which he resides for six
months before the election, shall be
entitled Ito vote for goyernor.members
OF Congress, and members Of the Lee
gislature." This will probably be a.
greed to IN Convention. The rule Of
voting rirG roee al all elections was Al !.
so established in committee.
The Convention we're in session
when the intelligence Of the death Of
LAFAYETTE was received. They in
stantiy adopted resolutions expressive
OF profound regret at this affecting
event requested the civil and military
officers Of the State TO wear the eusto-
