HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

THURSDAY, JAN. lS.-On Mr.. Pey.
tons motion tho following resolution
was adopted.
Resolred, That mbers OF the
Editorial Convention, now in session
in this City, be assigned seats within
this Hall.
Mr.. Edmunds submitted the follow.
ing resolutions:
Resolced By the General Assembly Of
Virginia, /. That no connexion be.
tween the Federal Government and
Banking Corporations is established by
the Federal Constitution, and that, in
the opinion of this Assembly, no such
connexion for the purpose of collecting
the Federal revenue is necessary.
Resolved, 2. That the revenue of
the Federal Government, when coIlec.
ted, should be so kept and dsbursed
as never to be mingled with the funds
of the Banks, or used in any manner
as a means Of banking operations.
ResSlred, 3. That the revenue of
the Federal Government, should be
collected in the noles of such specie
paying Banks, as will, at short inter.
walls, pay up the balance against them
in specie.
Resolred, 4. That the establishment
OF U. s. Bank is unconstitutional and
and inexpedent, and is to be resisted
as no, less dangerous to the liberties Of
the people, than the creation of Trea.
sury or Government Bank.
Resolved, 5. That we cordially sup.

HENRIco CONTESTED ELECTION
The House yesterday disposed of all
the votes in the contested election from
lIenrico. Alter struggle for week,
considering and considering votes,
it was determined that there was TIE.
A question then arose, whether the
casting vote of the Sheriff should be re-.
ceiyed. A certificate of the Sheriff
who conducted the election at the
Court House was read, stating that he
should have voted for Mr.. Bolts. In
opposition to the reception of this vote,
it was stated that the Sheriff was not a
ffeebolder, and it was commended that,
though he was authorized by the stat
ute to vote er.o0zcio, yet the statute
was unconstitutional, and his vote ought
TO be- rejected.
We never heard an objection so plau-
slble, and at the same time so entirely
destitute of any foundation. The Sher.
i'll in giving the casting vote acts not
in the capacity of voter, but in that
ofa judge, to declare who is elected
A decision to this effect was made
some thirty years since under the old
constitution. But even if this position
were erroneous, it is rendered correct
by the new constitution, which declares
that all shall exercise the right of suif.
rage who were entitled to it by the old
constitution and the laws. The Sherltis
did vote under laws existing before the
new constitution, and their right to vote
now, is, therefore, placed beyond dis
pute.
But the question did not properly a
rise in the case before the House yes
terday--the Sherifis right TO vote not
having been contested by the sitting
member, and no testimony having been
adduced 10 prove that he was not a
freeholder.
After much debate on the question,
the House adjourned before taking a
vote. We cannot bat hope that this
vexatous case to the comfort Of all
parties, and the advancement of the
public bus ness, will be finally dispo.
sed Of to-day.

EDITORIAL CONvryrIoN

The convention Of Editors which assembled
in Richmond Gu the 18th inst, closed lis sessions
on the 10Th. The number Of Editors in attend
ance though not comprising more than half The

anticipated in view Of the season Of The wear.
and of the distance of mary Of them from the
seat OF Government II was, however, sufi.
ciently large TO embody the views and sentl.
ments of the craft throughout the state.
The greatest evils perhaps which such an as
semblage might have a tendency 10 redress,
were the bad tone and manner which have of.

ton which has just adjourned, the Just relations
of Editors TO each other and TO the community
were fully and amply discussed, aud report,
drawn by the able and accomplished Editor Of
the Alexandria Gazette. was adopted which
distinctly marks the true style Of conducting
public journal, and which cannot fail to impart
dignity, responsibility and influence to every
press that shall guide itself by its precepts
As TO the unjust appreciation of our services
and inadequate compensation for our labors-the
convention after full discussion, declined adop
ting any tariff of charges, or minute regulations,
but submitted the matter TO a committee 10 re.
port hereafter, and adopted a report commend.
ing our cause TO the justice and liberality Of the
public.
The members Of the convention from dis.
lance cannot soon forget the distinguished cour.
tesy und hospitality which was extended 10
them by their brethren Of Richmond. They
were invited 10 and partook of two splendid en-.
tertainments, one given by the Richmond Edi
tors, the other by the Typographical society
and when we surveyed the munifcent array of
hams, turkeys, fish, oysters, canvass backs
pheasants and the like, we heartily wished for
the presence Of more Of our mountain brethren to
aid us in rendering appropriate honors 10 the
feasts which were set before US.
Our limits will not allow the publication Of
the proceedings entire, this week and not wish
ing to divide them, we will defer them until

The New York Express Of the III

The New York Express Of the 18th
inst. says -" We see the Secretary
of the Treasury is putting out notes
at 8 per cent. interest instead OF the
low rates heretofore, so that the Go
vernment was dishonered by finding
its own notes in the market two per
cent. below Safety Fund paper. The
five per cent, notes will probably CON-
mand the par of Bank notes for invest.
ment, but not 10 any great extent
There are so many State loans having
a much longer period to run, and bear.
ing the same rate Of interest, that they
will be purchased in preference. AS
the amount o" duties paid and lands
sold will be very limited for some time
to come, the amount Of Treasury Notes
issued 10 meet the expenditures Of the
Government must necessarily be very
large"

EXHIBITION OF THE DEAFAND DUMB.
Having been unable to attend the ex-
hibition in the Capitol, OF which we
gave hasty no'lce yesterday, we
have obtained from a friend who was
present, some account Of it.
The. number OF deaf-mute pupils who
appeared, was six, all of whom mani
tested IN their countenance and their
uncommonly interesting personal ap.
pearance, enlisted in advance the SYM.
pathies of the spectators in high de-
gree. Their performances also, which
consisted in translating into words facts
narratives communicated by their tea
cher by signs, and in answering mis-
cellaneous questions suggested by gen
tlemer present, We're prompt, accurate,
and well executed. Their mode Of ex-
pressing themselves was often highly
amusing and one particular instance
of this, which proved however to be an
error of inadvertence on the part of
the pupil, was the occasion Of some
IN nth. A young man being asked,
" lIdb 10 lOfC COtlliIituCtQ Ills ItIilN
on the black board thus "L Love is an
cNic'ion, which leads men to seek bea-
utluI ladies'" &c. &c. His attention
being called to the word affection, he
exhibited some modification, and chan.
ged it to affection.
One part of the performances con-
sisted in display Of some Of the pan
tomlmlc expressions, which constitute
the natural language of the deaf and
dumb. The young man who exhibi.
ted them, displayed certainly great
talent IN the visible delineation of the
passions and emotions in the express.
ions Of the cOuntenance.
We trust that there will be a ropet.
ton of this exhibition, in some place
capable of accommodating greater
number ofspectators than could find
room in the Hall Of the House.

The United States Bank last sum.
mer through two southern institutions
purchased upwards Of $50, 900 bales of
cotton. The price thereupon rose one
cent per pound ; thereby making a
difference in the actual means ofthe
South in their favor, of at least five
millions of dollars. By the control the
Bank thus acquired over so large an
amount of cotton, sales have not been
forced to that degree as to affect the
market and the consequence is rise
of a penny per pound thus increasing
tho value Of one article of southern
produce twelve or fourteen millions Of
dollars.

would not be, on board these vessels,

EARTHQUAKE Mexico -Mexicar

EARrHoUAKE IN MEXICO Mexican
papers to the 22d Dec, received by
the New Orleans Bee, contain partlc-
ulars OF the late severe earthquakes
with which that country has been Wis.
tied. The Bee says:
"Successive shocks Of an earthquake
have almost totally destroyed the town
Of Acapulco, while the gorgeous city
Of Mexico itself was subjected to vi.
olsnt and prolonged shock happily,
however, in the latter instance no ln-
Jury resulted. The details ofthe earth.
quake at Acapulco are frighllui. Re
peated shocks OF extreme violence and
devastation have nearly reduced the
city to a mass OF ruin. The houses
overturned, and dashed TO fragments,
the churches irreparbly injured, the
walls Of the Campo Santo destroyed,
the whole city thrown into state OF
deplorabe CONSERVATION, ard the in
habitants compelled to pass the night
in the fields and roads adjacent to the
town. When the morning dawned,
hundreds beheld themselves houseless
and reduced to utter indulgence. For
tunately for the safety of the citizens,
the destruction occasioned by the shock
was SO gradual as to afford them time
to save themselves hePce the loss OF
was life inconsiderable. There is icon.
tinues the Bec,) certain coincidence
to be observed between earthquakes at
Acapulco and those at Mexico. The
shocks at the latter city are invariably
fel! within II day or two after the first
has suffered, although usually with less
violence. The volcanic chain appears
TO extend from one city to the other in
nearly direct line, and the effect is
thus gradually bu, certainly propoga
ted. The spot where Mexico now stands
was formed Y great volcanic centre,
and in the Immediate neighbohood is
large number Of cxtngulshed craters.
The famous Papocapeti is nevertheless
open, ard smoking, and there is little
doubt that this mountain is tho embou.
chure of The products of those subter-
raneous connections. which may one
day or another utterly PROSTATE the
magnificent capital ofthe Mexican Re-
public"

ANOTHER GOVERNMENT PET GONE
The Commonwealth Bank at Boston,
one Of the principal Government pets,
or late deposite banks, has closed its

This is done without any runs being
made upon it, as specie payments are
suspended, and must be tho deliberate
act Of the Board of Directors, or OF the
officers of the institution, who have
knowingly plunged ii into inextricable
ruin, and sacrificed the property ofin-

playing into their hands. The public
