New CODE OF VIRGINIA. - The following
changes were made in the existing laws of Vr
ginia, by the late Legislature. twill be seen that
all these measures tend to a curtailment of the
credit system:
/. The 9Th section of chapter 1877 provides lin
substance) that any person entitled to recover
money by action on any contract, may, after go
days notice, obtain judgment for the same by
motion in any court of the county in which the
debtor resides.
The provision dispenses with the writ, (if the
plaintiff prefer to proceed by motion rather than
by an ordinary suit) and Of course saves the cost
of the writ tax and fee to the sheriff for executing
the writ If no defence be made, judgment will
be obtained on the day to which the notice is
given; but if there be defence it may be heard
and decided in a summary way by the court, or if
either party desires il, jury may be impanneled
to try the issue joined.
3. The new code dispenses with bail in civil
cases. If the plaintiff, either upon the institution
Of his suit, or at any time before Judgment will
make affidavit that he has coed cause to believe
that his debtor will remove his effects beyond the
Jurisdiction of the Court before Judgment can be
obtained-hes may sue out an attachment against
the debtors property, commanding the Sheriff 10
seize and secure the same until needed to satisfy
the Judgment, or replevied by bond with security
to have it forthcoming to answer that end.
The abolition of bail, has of course rendered
necessary change in the form of the writ. 1t is
no longer a cdpids commanding the officer to take
the b0dyi but simple Summons to answer the
plaintiffs cause Of action.
s. Imprisonment for debt is abolished by the new
codes and in lieu Of the ca. Sl various provisions
have been adopted, designed to, obtain from the
debtor discovery Of all his property, and the de-
livery and conveyance thereof to the sheriff. To
this end the debtor may be summoned TO appear be-
fore the Commissioner in Chancery, and required
10 answer on OATH the interrOgatories of the credi
tor. IL he fails TO appear or refuses to answer, the
Commissioner is to report him TO court, and if lie
still fails to appear and answer, he may be pro-
ceeded against as for a contempt. And having
made known his estate, if he refuses to convey or
deliver it up, he may be committed to Jail by order
Of court.
A. A judgment lien under the new law, will ex-
tend to the lDhoe of the debtors land instead Of to
half only at present The creditor may ertend
the land upon writ Of elegit, or he may file his
bill in court of equity, and have the land sold if
the rents and profits will not pay the debt in fus
years.
s. The new code will not 60 into effect until the
LIST of July next. 1t will be published about the
lst Of January next,

THE U. S. STEAMER ALLEGHANY.- letter from
Norfolk says: {" The Q. S. steamer Allegheny left
the Navy Yard yesterday afternoon (2Oth) on her
secret mission to the Gulf of Mexico. She was
fitted for with great dispatch, and seemingly
with reference to active service somewhere. Her
magazines and shot rooms were thoroughly repen-
ished, and additional officers attached to her
Passed Midshipmen Truxton and NIagan, and Sd
Assistant Engineer Wheeler, all of whom were
attached to the Vixen, stsamer preparing for sea,
have been added to her list of officers. Gen. Cal
vert Taylor, who accompanied the Allegheny as
far as Cape Henry, informs me that she made fine
progress to sea, and though her officers and crew
were somewhat disappointed at this last addenda
to their cruise, each felt that the government re-
qured their services and that it was their duty to
obey cheerfulIV"

TAG CUsA EEPEDtTIoN.--The New York Globe
is denouncing the Express notice of the Lafayette
Hall and other meetings, as " most INSCRIPTIONS
attempt to create an impression that an organiza-
cation existed to invade foreign territory" The
Express replies The facts we gave we were wit
nesses to, and would not be denied by hundreds
who have pledged themselves to this secret expe-
ditOn."
A letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer confirms
the statement lately of nightly meetings at La
fayette Hall, and the enrolment of many yolun-
teers, and says:
81 understand that the U. S. Marshal and Dis
trict Attorney have received instructions from
Washington to keep sharpeye on this movement,
but the leaders are acting in such way as not to
infringe on any law, or do anything in the premi-
ses that would justify the Government agents in
interfering. The long and short Of the matter is,
that every step is taken under the advice of able
counsel--of menlearned in the law, who are hand
somely compensated for their advice and sugges-
tons. What fine budget of news the Spanish
spies here will have for the edCatiOn of the Gov.
ernOr-GeneTal of Cuba, by the next vessel which
leaves here for that Island. 1t is said that the
Spaniard whom Rey released while he was keeper
of the Havana prison, has arrived here from New
Orleans, to superintend the organization of the
expedition. Some Of our citizens who formerly
held offices of trust in this State, are connected
with the movement"
The New York letter of the 22d ult. to the Phila
delphia Ledger speaks of long, low, black
schooner" fitting out near the foot of Wall street
for a Gulf port, and says
Muskets have actually been seen on board
and last evening, near midnight, men were seen OF
deck, parading in the clear moonlight, fully armed
and equipped, for what purpose the fates have no
disclosed. Meanwhile, there is a gaping crowd o
busy-bodies assembled in the vicinity Of what il
supposed be the variable skinner destined IN tow
the Island of Cuba right up into the delta of thu
Mississippi. Seriously, Ibelieve the whole affai
to be an unmitgated humbug, which will live it
nine days, and then be forgotten"

NEWLY INVENTED TINTING TABLETs.-The
facility of giving the effect of light and shade to
drawings is enhanced, a late English journal says
by the introduction of this newly prepared tinted
paper. With no other labor than merely scraping
the surface, where required, by penknife, gradu
ated light is obtained, up to a brilliant white.
Sketches made from nature, and but slightly tinted
with color to the forms, are by this new and facile
means readily imbued with the atmospheric effects
of sky and cloud the vvacity of daylight, and the
rapid induction of chiaroscuro.

in order to show them where buried treasure was,
and who tumblsd them both into the pit they had
dug and then escaped, has been retaken. Hestates
that he commenced operations to make his escape
soon after entering the prison. His story of buried
treasure was at first disbeleved, but by continued
repetition he at length won sufficient belief from
his keepers as to cause them to allow him to 20 to
the alleged spot and test his story. This was all
he wanted, and his plans were soon formed His
account of leaving the prison and proceeding TO

coal, wool, and woollen and cotton goods, was
thought advisable. Several committees were an
