IMPORTANT BILLS REPORTED.
SrATE CONVENTION


In the House Of Delegates yesterday, Mr..
Icfiwch, from the Select Committee ON the sub.
lcct, reported bill for taking the sense of the
people on the call of Convention TO amend the
Constitutions oil the State, and for other purposes.
And Mr. l.. also presented report from the mi.
nority of the Committee.
The bill provides for organizing n Convention
on the basis of the present House of Delegates,
with l34 members, TO be chosen as the delegates
now chosen.
The Minority Report objects to this organrza.
ton, and insists upon the rhite basis As the only
tue representative principle. The Bill and MI
norily Report were ordered To be- printed.
We shall present cur readers with both, as soon
we can obtain copy.
Tho subject will no doubt produce some ex.
citemcnt in debate; yet there are many cool heads
who think all angry feelings will soon subside,
and that, if no compromise should be agreed upon
at the present session, members will part in Il
better spirit than at first exhibited. 1t is crafty.
Ing to hear from all sides. that the suggestion Of
a desire 10 divide the State under any contingent
CIV, meets with no favor whatever.
Potomac and Ohio Rail Road
Mr.. Pcndleton, from the Committee on Roads,
reported 4 hill To incorporate the Potomac and
Ohio Bail Ro8d Company. Tho argument in
committee, this subject, u very able one,
between Mr.. Ejgington of Ohio County, and Mr..
Lee of Hardy the only two gentlemen we had
the pleasure of hearing. The vote in committee
was to 5.

NOTICE TO OTIT.

II will he seen that the Committee on Foreign
Relations, in the Senate, have also reported Joint
Resolution to give notice to Great Britain that
gate the Convention Of s27, which allowed
POINT commercial use Of the disputed parts Of the
Oregon Territory.
The House is still engaged in debate on the
same subject. Mr. Cobb of Georgia, in express
ing his non.concurrence with Mr.. Calhoun on
this point took the servlle ground that Congress
should not differ with the President 10 reference
thereto, lest our claim might be prejudiced IN the
eyes of Great Britain. In this view Of represen.
tatsc duty, we should in all cases find Congress
surrenderlng its independence Of thought and ac.
ton. and becoming the mere creature Of Execu.
tive dctatOn.
! II is now generally believed that Mr.. Calhoun's
resistance Of hasty movements IN the Senate will
he unavaling and that all the hazards will be
run of a war without preparation, under the vain
and delusiye idea that Great Britain will take no
offence at the notice, and be ~ inert as we have
been during the whole bIigerent agitation.
The swnggchng manner and braggan spirit Of
the day, excite unqualified disgust, and must, at.
ter the efsryescence Of the moment shall have
passed away, # happily evil should be averted, bo
the subject Of self rcproach and modification in
the hour Of rcposc and reflection.
Mr.. CaIhoun's resignation Of his post on the
Committee Of Finance, cScitcs much speculation;
and many Of the paHizans Of the Administration
would fain give him direct rebuke If they
thought It cxpcdlcnt at the present moment

The TEA PLANT IN FRANcE.-Fhe Journal des
Debats states, that the experiments made for intro
ducng the culture of the tea plant in France had
fully succeeded. The tea plant has been found to
thrive as well in Anglers as at Hyercs, under the
warmest climate of Provence; which is considered a
fact without example in the history of this plant
since its introduction in Europe, and demonstrates
that the climate of France is favorable to the culture
Of the tea plant. The experiments made in Algeria
have not been so successfulj all the plants were
killed by the heat, notwithstanding every precauton
Between the provinces in the north of France, OF
which the climate appears too cold and humid, and
the burning plains Of Algeria there may be selected
the provinces of the south, where, by choosing good
soils and favorable Sites there could be no doubt but
the tea plant might be cultivated with success,
