GENERAL LAssEMBLY.-The two Hou-
ses were occupied yesterday morning
with business Of minor importance, en-
bracing the usual reports from commit
tees, Oh applications for sale Of real es-
tate, SC. SC. which were variously dis
posed of. In the afternoon, however, q
discussion arose in the House which
brought out most Of the principal speak
ers and attracted a very full and atten-
tive audience. Mr.. Dorr, from the COM
mittes to which were referred at tho
May session the memorials OF the citi-
zens Of this State protesting ABOLITION
principles, who prayed to be heard in
opposition to the resolutions and bill pre-
sented by MIR. Hazard in January last,
OIL the subject Of incendiary publications
tending to excite insurrection among the
slaves-reported lcsolution, which Mr..
ID. stated had the assent Of IA majority Of
the committee, but from which he MIR.
d. and Mr.. Gavitt dissented. The re-
solution provided-that the Committee
should be continued to the next session
of the Assembly, with authority to re-
cei,e any statements which the memori-
alists might think proper to offer, III ,rrit.
ing, and to report to the House on the
third day Of that session. 1t will be re-
collected, that notice had been given by
the committee in the newspapers for
some weeks past, that the memoriaists
would he heard before them on Wednes-
day (last) evening, and that many per-
sons from this State and elsewhere were
in attendance to avail themselves Of the
opportunity. Mr. Hazard moved the re-
solution be adopted. MIR. Dorr having
moved its indefinite postponement, n de-
bate ensued on the last motion, in which
the merits Of the resolution and bill OF the
January session were discussed with
much warmth and ability. MIR. DORIS
motion was supported by the mover, MIR.
Tillinghast Of Providence, Mr.. Simmons
Of Johnston, and by MIR. Curtis Of Prov.
1t was opposed single handed by Mr..
Hazard, Of Newport, with his usual pow
er and causticity. The discussion was
finally arrested by a motion Of Mr.. At
well Of GIocester, to lay the resolution
on the table, with the avowod intention
Of moving to discharge the committee
from any further consideration of the
subject, and to postpone indefinitely the
bill and resolutions presented in Janua-
ry. Mr.. Atwelps motion prevailed by u
great majority-we believe almost unnn-
imously. The committee were then dis
charged OH motion of Mr.. A., when Mr..
Hazard moved the indefinite post
ment of the bill and resolutions, assign
ing as the reason which operated on his
mind, that no further occasion existed
for these measures Mr.. Simmons re-
marked that has reason for voting for the
postponement was because he consider
ed both bill and resolutions radically
wrong. Mr.. Hazards motion was car
ried with about the same unanimity as
that by which the committee was dis
charged.

TROUBLE IN THE -WIGwAM. Mr..
Webster's bill, providing the necessary
checks upon the pet banks, and distribu-
ting the surplus revenue among the sew
eral States, lin proportion to their fede-
raj representation as loan without in
terest, was passed, in the Senate, on
Friday, June l7-yeas 40, nays e'!!-
Mr.. Rives, of Vir. made strong speech
in its favor-and strange TO say, even
Tallmadge Of N. Y, and Niles OF Con.
were found among its advocates. The
correspondent of the N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser mentions, ,as favorable symp-
tom, the strong disposition manifested to
get rid Of the lead Of that terrible Mum
chausen orator and would be leader, Col.
Thos. II. Benton. Tallmadge openly
denounced his gold currency as most
ridiculous humbug. Various specula-
tions are INDUCED as to the fate of the
bill--supposing it to pass the House by
a majority as decisive as it received in
the Senate. Should the President veto
it, which is scarcely possible, if he have
any respect for his earlier recommends
tions,--ths majority in both Houses may
still be sufficient 10 pass it into law in
spite Of him. We shall soon see.

disease, the small pox. The censure
we believe is misapplied in this instance

might be devised to prevent its spread

1t is mentioned as fact highly cred
liable to the West Point Academy, by
the Army Chronicle, that no duel has
ever taken place between two of the
graduates; and rarely, if ever, has a
challenge passed between a graduate
and another person. What better argu-
ment than this could be adduced to
prove the love Of order, the existence of
the kindest feelings, and the habits of
discipline inculcated among the cadets
il should weigh much with the public in
favor Of the institution, and counterbal-
ance any trifing defects that may be
supposed TO, or that actually do, exist.
