The Examiner has some apposite remarks relative to the very striking effect produced upoQithe Legiblature by that clause in the constitution which requires that no bill shall be passed for purposes of Internal Improve menq without a provision for raising the means to prosecute them. It has, indeed, proved a clog of a most serious nature. Before, there was no difficulty whatever in the way.— The largest appropriations were made with out the smallest scruple ; but now, our inde pendent legislators dare uot go home and tell their constituents that they have raised the taxes, though for a purpose of the last neces sity. It is a matter, with them, of small mo ment, that the whole system of Internal Im provements, in which the Slate is interested to the amount of $12,000,000, should be stopped short. It is a matter of very great public con cern, on the other hand, that Mr. A. or Mr. B. should keep hie place in the House or in the Senate. Do these gentlemen reflect upon the im mense loss to which they are subjecting the State, and the necessity they are creating of an enormously increased taxa'ion at a future day to pay off this loss ? The interest on the debt for purposes of this character, is already enormous- It amounts, in round numbers, to at least $1.300,000 per annum. The recess of three months, which they propose, will cost the State a sum of $325,000, over and above what it would cost should they make the proper appropriations at once. Do they not see that they will have to make up this dead loss by taxation ? After all, the taxation for raising the sum to complete the works, will be fully as great if levied in the fall, as it ■would be if laid now. Is it possible that con stituents will not be able to understand bo plain a matter ? Every day that the public works are delayed adds so much to the public burthens. Is it not the part of wisdom, then, to make the necessary appropriations as soon as possible ? What can be gained by delay ? The people know, that, until the works begin lo pay, they must be taxed to carry them on. What moie can they learn during the pro posed recess of three months? We believe that the Legislature is playing a very foolish gp.me. They cannot abandon the public for the public voice will not per mit tbem to do so. They cannot conceal from their constituents the fact that their temporary abandonment imposes a great additional bur then. Is it not better, then, to take the re sponsibility of an inevitable step at once, and to depend upon its absolute necessity, as an apology belore the constituency 1 HON. JOHN BARNEY AND M. DE SAR TIGES. The papers have been making themselves quite merry at the expense of these two gen tlemen. We greatlv admire the gallantry of Mr. B-, for a man who lakes upon himself the cause, not of one ugly woman, but of all tde Ugly'"women, must be a knight, the very lutch et of whose shoe Baynrd himself would not be worthy to loosen. We have read a good many bookfi that treat of chivalry, and we are well aware of the fantastic vows which many of the heroes took upon themselves, for the honor and glory of their " ladie loves but they were all of them as beautiful as the very morning itself. Not one of them is described as being ugl v, not even the "loathly ladie," whose assumed homeliness was but a temporary disguise.— There is no such thing in all chivalry as a knight's putting lance in rest for an ugly wo man. Even Don Quixote was obliged by the force of his imagination to transform the ill favored couutry wench, Aldonza Lorenza, into Jhe peerless Dulcineadel Toboso. Now we admire spirit, and we adore gallan try almost as much as the ladies themselves.— But we confess to a little natural weakness.— If we were to see two ladies drowning, one of them very pretty, and another very homely, and we had it in our power to save only one, we very "much fear we should be tempted to single out pretty one. We cannot therefore feel ao bitterly towards M. de Sartiges for admitting none'but pretty ladies to his balls ; for we are fearful we should do the same. But then his passion for shooting rats, unless he be some- I thing of a Mandarin, and mean to eat them, is very reprehensible. If any aggravation of the ©ffcnce were wauling, it could be found in his violation of the Sabbath in the prosecution of his unlawful sport. We must positively turn him over to the Richmond Typographical So. ciety, and if they can do nothing, why then he must be passed to the editor of the Baptist j Herald. He will "tickle his catastrophe" for him, as Shakspeare hath it. We do not know that we could find it in our heirt to blame him much for shooting the cats. If there is any thing in the world which could, bv any possibility, justify Sabbath-breaking, it is this. "We extend to M de Sartiges thereupon the righ ( hand of fellowship, and we invite him to come down this way. But ihere is yet one short coming of the Am bassador, for which he deserved to be reported to his ex-Majesty of Westphalia, Prince Ad miral, Field Marshal and President of the Se- Bftte. We allude to his declaration that he would not marry an American woman! We hope the grapes are not sour! We hope this fox of a Frenchman has not been jumping at * luscious bunch, and finding himself unable to Teach it, has now said that it was too sour for him' Eveu though it be so, let none of our fair countrywomen go beside themselves, and terminate their existence in the same tragical tray in which tbe lady, whose fate is so patheti cally described in that veracious old song 44 A Captain bold of Halifax," contrived to "•huffle off this mortal coil." Let them con tent themselves with answering as Beroadotte did to a certain culprit. We will relate the an ecdote, for it is more creditable to the old French Sergeant iban any thing w« erer heard of him. By a law of Sweden, long obsolete, any person who »poke alighily of the Kingi aubjictedtoiirißetf to capital punishment.. Un der this law, a time-aerving judge had tried a man who wss proved to have aaid that he did not care a d-n for B-rn.doite, and had sentenced him to be hung. Bernadotte heanng of it, ordered the man to be instantly set at liberty. "But," said his courtiers, "do you not intend to punish such an oatrage?" "Yes!" replied the king; " since the fellow says that he don't care a d—n for| Bernadotte, do you go and tell him thai Bernadotte don't care a d—n for him!'' Do our countrywomen tuke the hint? P. S. A friend suggests that what we have said about ugly women, may give offence to that unfortunate class of the female world.— Not the least danger in the world of it! We never saw or heaid of a woman who believed that any thing said about ugly ijomen, could, by any possibility, be tortured into a reflection uponher. Oh! no. Catch a woman believing any such thing as that! Place of Voting.— As the eleciion comes off to-morrow, we take this opportunity to call attention to a fact, not, we Relieve, generally understood. The Constitution and the law passed by the Legislature in accordance there with, requires voters TO VOTE IN THE WARD IN WHICH THEY RESIDE! If you wish your vote to stand good, do not for get this. Vote in your own ward; you have no right to vote any where els£ Extensive Sale of Real Estate.—We learn from the Fredericksburg News that the large estate in the lower part of Charles City county, 45 miles below Richmond, on James River, and lately owned by Robert Boiling of Petersburg, known as Sandy Point, was sold on Saturday last, to Richard Baylor, Esq., of Essex, at $130,000. This is one of the finest landed estates in Virginia. It contains nearly five thousand acres of highly productive river low grounds, which produce from 18 to 22,000 bushels of wheat per year, and from 8 to 10 000 barrels of Corn. HOUSE OF DELEGATES—Iast night. The House met at 8 o'clock, and a few min utes thereafter a vote on a motion to adjourn showed that there was the exact number (77) of members present necessary to forma quorum. The House then proceeded to business, and passed a number of bills without opposition— amongst them, a bill prescribing the powers and duties of the Sergeant of the city of Rich mond. This act makes it his duty to attend as Sheriff upon the Circuit Couri; collect the taxes of the city; keep, and confine the criminals to be tried in the Circuit Court in, the city jail, &c. Also, a bill from the Senate, concerning books aud furniture of Odd Fellows, Free-Masons, Sons of and other benevolent so cieties, with amendments. The remainder of the bills passed will be noticed hereafter. A little after 9 o'clock, when yawns were neither few nor fur between, and eye-lids were yielding to the gentle influence of ilorpheus, a fortunate circumstance occutred to keep the congregation awake. Mr. Sirnith, of Brooke and Hancock, a gentleman whom all were anx- to hear, rose to make his maiden speech of the session, on a proposition for a rail-road across the "pan handle." He proceeded at length, and by his original style, happy illus trations and amusing anecdotes, kept the eyes of the House open until the time of adjourn ment about 10 o'clock. fy Important to our City, our Coun try and our Home*.—To rite to eminence in the Art and Science of Architecture genius is in dispensable By study atd piacticea man of or dinary talents may become a good Builder; he may understand his art, eo lar as it relates to the neces saries and conveniences of life, but something more is requisite to raise him to the rank of an Artist—on the same level with the poet, painter, sculutor and musician. A man v-'ho iutecds to bo an Architect, shopld p usess ingenuity* nd mathematical talent, and should receive an education with direct refer ence to the practice of his art. An Architect must be practical He cannot live in a world of fancy, like the poet; he cant ot cooy nature in her liveliest aspects, like the painter; nor perfect nature in forms of surpassing beauty and grace, like the sculptor; he must render tnsteful and beautiful tnat which is essential. In doing this he must not spec ulate and theorise till he has lust sight of the main objeet in a'l his works—utility. Practical knowl edge must make liim acquainted with all that is best adapted to insure convenience, strength, and durability; and a constant .regard to the end in view prevent him from sacrificing the substance to the shadow—fitness to factitious ornament. An Ar chitect should be educated with special reference to his art, and must be practical, too, unless, he will not be an ecou -rnical artist. In following out a favorite theory .little regard wi'l be paid to expense, and nine times out of tea, he will not be able to make an exact estimate, as he never knows when irsplan is tixed. An Architect should learn draw j ing with almost as much eagerness as if he were to be a painter; perspective and projection he should understand so as to know how the design will appear when completed The science and art ot Architecture brings into play all the sciences and tine arts there are to be studied and committed to memory The most eminent Architects have often been the best painters and sculptors in the age in which they lived. An Architect who cannot draw or commit to paper his ideas, is like a man of knowledge who caanot speak or write—his art is useless to him and to a I—he is not an Architect to be wanting in drawing; it is his appui There are many errors made by persons pretending to be Ar chitects who have a email smattering of drawing, but not the first rudiments of Architecture as a fine art and a science. They design, build >.nd pull down, without knowing why they do it or why i: is done. A man educ.ted for it, practical and ex perienced, is capable of saving a vast deal of mo ney for those who employ him to design and su perintend the design and building to completion. Suebaman isMr. Wm. A.Powell, who we would kindly recommend to the public generally. (See his advertisement to-day ) His designs and all he has done in our midst speak of knowledge acquir ed by a classical course of instruction and many years experience in his profession. Mr Powell is a young man, so to speak, who has made this city his permanent residence to practice his profession. I An Architect possessed of his ability has long been wanted here to assist us to keep pace wiin the present age in Architecture and Sciences, and as he is r.ow in our city his services should be engHced and appreciated, and have designs prepared here and stop sending for them to other cities By so doing, time, trouble and an unnecessary outlay of money will be saved to those building. One great and important feature in favor of Mr. Powell is that he makes accurate specifications, contracts, and agreements, and charges nothing lor the de sign and drawings when he superintends the de sign or building, and pledges himself that the de sign on completion will cost no more than it is es timated at previous to bui'diu 6 the same. This is an opportunity that is seldom ofle'ed and should not be neglected. More we cannot say at present, but leave his skill and perseverance to speak the 10 my ati—lt" npTo the Voters of tke City oi Rich. monti. Having seen in the Whig of morning an advertisement stating that twenty-three only ol the member, ot the bar who practice in the Circuit Court deaire the election of Rohfbt c STANARD, aa the Judge of that Court, the under signed deem it an set ot justice to Mr Stanard aa well to tb? community, to atate that the article in the Whig ii inaccurate, and tnat we feel warranted in saying that aeven-tenths of the Bar concur iu the recommendation of Mr Stanard, and will cupport him. We deem it proper to say, alio, that there i* not tbe slightest foundation in tact for the cry which baa been rained about tbe "dictation of the Bar."— There bas been certainly no attempt, on tbe part of Ihoae members of tbe bar who aupport MrStanard, to dictate to any one, and certainly not to the great body of tbe people, of whom, in tbii respect, we are hut tbe agents and representatives ; for to us is con fided tbe duty of representing and protecting, in the Courts, the iateresu of our clients as well as oar own, and constituting the larger number we iii ■■■■!» ih« kracr number and sreatMt ioterMt. cJn wTby possibility, have any purpote or tfnire to injure those upon whom we depend for our *up port t Ii it not palpable to the *itnple*t under standing. that our intereat ii identical with the in terest* of our clients, and that therefore we can hare but one motive in selecting a Judge, to wit, a desire to get the ablest man and ripest lawyer who is wil ling to serve, being an upright man, as both the gen tlemen now before the people are We know of no attempt of any one to "dictate," but we submit whether, if it be proper to characterize either party as attempting to dictate, it woul i not be more can did and proper thus to characterize the small minority of the Bar who dissent from the majority, and press their nominee against the nominee of the majority? , . ~ it is a matter ot great pain to us that there should be any controversy in this ritv about the election of the first Judfff* uuaer thfi Now Constitution, and if we could have foreseen it, we would not have be n parties to it. We hoped that our Judge, whoever he might be, would have taken his seat upon the bench unconscious of any of the excitement which attends a contested election: and although convinced of the supeiior qualifications of Mr Stanard, we would have mit<le no opposition to Mr Meredith, it he had announced himself before our selection was maoe, instetd of coining out in opposition to it, after it was made and known to him. Still more certainly, if possible, would we have made 110 op po.it ion tu Mr Meredi'.h, if he had been nominated by the meeting which nominated Mr Stanard, and as certainly we presume, would Meredith have ac cepted the nomination, and no cry of "dictation" would then cave been heard from his friends. The article in the Whig also represents that Mr. Stanard was announced alter Mr. Meredith had an nounced himself. Now we submit that this state ment is in substance ani intent, erroneous. The intent is to impress the public with the belief that Mr. Stanard's nomination was made after Mr Meredith was announced, which was not the fact, a a every one knows who has turned his attention at all to the subject, or read the history of this matter which we gave in a former statement, and whicfi remains uncontradicted It is true that the announcement of Mr. Meredith appeared first in the newspapers, but that announcement was made the day after Mr. Stanard had been no minated by the meeting at the Court House,and af ter that nomination whs known to Mr. Meredilh and bis friends. With what justice or fairness then, could ' A Voter" in the Whig make the state ment which he has made! Was it done to excite the prejudices of the people, and under their in fluence mislead them to elect the least competent Judge ? Who is the patriot that would render this service to his country 1 MANY MEMBERS OF THE MEETING, my 26—It John A. Meredith for Judge.—ln the Whig of yesterday appeared an article irom "Ma ny M<*nbers of the Meeting,"'professing, in justice to Mr. Stanard and to the ccmmunity, to correct the inaccuracy of an article which was published in the same paper the day before, the principal object of which was to erase the impression that had been made that Mr. Canard had been unani mously called upon by the Richmond bar to de clare himself a candidate for the office of Judge.— He was called upon by 23 members (about one tourth) of the bar—but that was not the whole bar; and we repeat again that we still have reason to be lieve that "Mr. Meredith will receive as large a vote from the Richmond bar as Mr Stanard " —We know that Mr Stanard will not receive the support of several of the oldest and most distinguished lawyers of this city. Their names could be given if necessary, but 'tis unnecessary; if the peculiar friends of Mr Stanard have not found them out 'tie because they have not enquired, and if they desire to know their names, they can get that knowledge much easier than they arrived at the (act that seven tenths of the bar concur in the nomination of Mr. Stanard and will support him. And we feel war ranted in saving that some even of the twenty three gentlemen who recommended Mr. Stanard would more cheerfully have recommended Mr. Meredith had his name been pieced before the meeting of the bar- But his name was not placed before the meeting at the time the recomrr.enda tion was made, because no one had authority so to do. At the former meeting, when his name was placed before the meeting it was done by a friend without his knowledge or consent. And as soon as the fact was made known to him (.Mr. Meredith be ing outof the city when his name was thus used; he expressed his d- termination to be a candidate in any event. He was even unwilling that his name should go before a meeting of the bar for such a nomination or recommendation. Complaint seems to be made that Mr. Meredith did not communicate his purpose to be candidate in any event to the adjourned meeting Well, was it the outy of Mr. Meredith to inform a meeting, to the holding of which he was opposed, that he meant to be a candidate ? Had he done this might it not have been said, with great force;— Who is this mighty man that informs us he means to be a candidate? And would that announce mentto the meeting have prevented the recom mendation of another. If so, then Mr. Meredith must be qualitied for the office in the opinion of these very gentlemen who now talk so triumph antly about the "ablest man and ripest lawyer"— or they would not have discharged their duty as good citizens, in permitting Mr Meredith, an un qualified man, to go into cftlce without opposition. Mr. Meredith had itiiormed at leait two gentlemen that he meant to be a candidate, one of whom was absent from and one present at the adjourned meeting; tha one present did not feel himself au thorized, on the part of Mr. Meredith, to say to the meeting what his purpose was, yet he retrained from putting Mr. Meredith's name in opposition to Mr. Stanard, because he knew that Mr. Mered th would be a candidate in any event We are told lli»t it is a matter of great pain to many members of the meeting, there shouid be any controversy in this city about the election of the first Judge under the new constitution. These gentlemen, or some of them, have inflicted this pain on themselves. Who is responsible for this contest? They are. Mr Meredith was publicly announced one day before Mr Stanard, and it Mr Meredith express-a a determination to be a candi date, would have prevented the recommendation of Mr Manard at the adjourned meeting, and Mr Meredith would have had no opposition Irom these gentlemen, if he had announced himself before the selection ot Mr Stanat d. why might not the contest have been avoided by dropping Mr Stanard as soon as they ascertained Mr Meredith's purpose, especi ally as it could have been done Mr Stanard publicaly declared himself a candidate i From the article in the Whig of yesterday, one would conclude that the articleto which it purport ed to b? an answer, was lull of elans about the '•dictation of tue bar," whereas there i 9 not one word, not one sentiment in it, trom which any fair mind would draw the inference that even an insinuation the most remote, was made upon that sunject. A castle was built to be demolished. We do not object to Mr Stanard because lawyers recommend him—so fir from it. we claim support for Mr Meredith, because he too is supported by lawyers, and lawjers as many and as eminent as those composing the adjourned meeting, by which Mr S. was brought forward—who support him uot from any personal preference, but because th< y think him (Mr Meredith) bitter qualified for the office than Mr Stanard. A VOTER my 26—It* J3P Col. John A. Meredith.—lnformati n from all parts oi the city atforas the most s-airfac tory assurance of the triumphant election of this gentleman as Judge of the Circuit Court of Rich mond. The enlightened citizens of Richmond, be lievlng themselves entirely competent to select their own Judge, have determined to take tne matter in to into their own hands, regardless of the efforts of a very SMALL minokitv of the -Richmond bar" to confer upon another that important office.

Let them all, therefore come to the polls, aud give him an overwhelming majority. ° It', in iiddition to their own convictions ot'the em inent qualifications ofCol.
