Convupomlence of the Register and Journal.
Tuscaloosa, Djc. 4, 1841.
Gkittlkmen—1 have little of interest to commit*
cate to you, about the proceedings of the Legislature,
rive weeks of the session have passed,and the most
important matters have hardly been reached, nor has
there been any sufficient indication of the disposition
of the members. I am greatly at a loss even to on
jectnre what will he done with our Bank in Mobile.
'Five general hill ftt the Senate, for putting tl.o sus
pended debt into commission, has been laid oh the
table. The Bank Committee of the House, have in
structed their chairman to report u hill to wind up the
Branches at Mobile and Decutur. It will be reported
on Monday, but its fate is very uncertain. It will
encounter, in the outset, a project which unites a good
many local interests, adverse to a winding up of the
Decatur Branch. It is to divide the assets into four
or more parts, making so many banks. The points
spoken of, are Welumpka, Gainesville, Demopolis,
Erwinton and Selma. I do not know by what con
trivaucc they will get ovor the constitutional difficulty
w hich forbids the charter of more than one Bank or
Branch Bank, at the same session. The combination
of interests in favor of such a scheme, will be power
ful; but I think it will l>e successfully resisted. There
is a growing feeling of the great responsibility cast
upon live Legislature, by the condition of the hanking
system; and 1 am a little in hope that it will bring
about something useful. The good sense of the Legis
lator, I am confideut, will defeat the project I have
named. *
I' or myself, I am lor winding up the suspended
| debt, preventing the further discount of notes, and
confining the operations of the bank to exchange.
The reasons I cannot give to you in a hurried letter,
but the occasion will soon present itself, to give it
you in another form. A bill embodying those views
is before the Stale Bank Committee. No proposi
tion, however, meets with much encouragement, which
proposes to curtail the present circulation of the
Bank. The members lament the mischief of a depre
ciated currency, while they dread the losses to indi
viduals by curtailing it so as to raise its value. They
seem to forget that the losses by depreciation, full
most heavily on those, who Imd no hand in causing it,
—that while seventy-five thousand families suffer to
the amount of ten percent each in their expend itn res,
—not ten thousand have aided or been benefitted by
the issue. Think of u tux of seven hundred thousand
dellars on the people of Alabama, for the convenience
of bank debtors. If members would study out the
justice and honesty of this, they would say—let us
have less paper, but let it be good.
The Senate has passed a bill giving the banks the
power to employ Bank Marshals in the several coun
ties, for the collection of their debts.
The hill to alter the mode of collecting debts due
laborers on steamboats, passed the House on the 3rd,
and was on itfc third rending in the Senate on the 4th.
The bill to prevent free negroes from landing in
Mobile, has become n law.
The lcin law for the benefit of mechanics, is also
on its final reading in the senate.
The chatter for the Fire Companies, and the Hook
and Ladder Co. of our city h ive also passed.
The city charter drags alo ig too slowly. After it
was regularly referred and reported to the House, ono
oft our delegation of the whig side, offered unexpec
tedly a substitute. I thought all the while that some
thing would be got up to delay, and if possible, to
defeat it. I was sure they would not surrender their
Recorder's court, if tliev can save it. The substitute
was referred to the delegation, but they cannot agree
to it. The abolishing of that court, is required
by public opinion in Mobde, and the changes in
its character proposed in the new plan, make it no
less distasteful. The object of the Recorder’s court
originally was to take the daily criminal jurisdiction
from the Mayor, and have a regular day police oflice.
After it has failed in giving satisfaction in that, it is
pro|K>sed to make it a monthly criminal court, with
higher powers, which will give even less satisfaction.
The Penal Code is undergoing a complete revising
in the hands of a committee, who, I hear will report
in the beginning of the week. The chairman tells
me that he will propose to abolish, or modify more
lima twenty sections,' and so amend the code that
juries may be found who will enforce it, for as
it now stands, with all its severe and impracticable
pennhici, it is not to be expected that juries will
convict.
Two attempts have been made to adjourn on the
18th, and 20th iust. but without effect.
There nre some rumors in your city, of disagree
ments botween the two democratic representatives
our county. You may contradict these unreservedly.
Whatever differences of opinion there were on a point
or two never went further, and they nre in perfect
harmony with each other.
Teatrk.—At the celebrated festival given to
the far famed “Bor” in Edinburgh, one of the elo*
(|u«ut speakers made an appeal to him on behalf of
the drama, which cannot but be remembered. He
whose genius had created so many characters, replete
with all the best attributes of humanity; so natural,
too, that they seem to live and breathe with his read
ers, is, of all men, most suited for a dramatic author.
The urgeut appeal to Dickens was, that lie would
write for the stage, for what true lover of the drama
would not anticipate an intellectual treat in a play
from the author of Nicholas Ni$kleby, Oliver Twist,
and the Curiosity Shop! Byron's Werner, though the
noble poet emphatically protested against its going
on the stage, is one of the most thrilling and effective
dramas; and though we have not heard that '• Boa”
is equally fastidious regarding the productions of A»«
pen, it is quite os certain that his novels are as well
suited for dramatic purposes. His diameters are so
marked, and his iucideuts so effective, that each of
his works is already a reading drama. It is no won
der then, that iu the ubscnce of any comedy, so in
tended, by him, the existing works of “ Bor” should
have lieeu dramatized by other handJt Success was
to be looked for, and has been secured. A series of
lliese is about to be produced upon our stage, the first
A which is to bo acted to-night. What reader of
iVicholua Nickleby (and who has not read ill) but must
anticipate a treat Iroin seeing on the stage what has
imparted such delight in the closet! The touching,
quiet pathos, of poor afflicted Smike, contrasted with
the bold heartless villany of the Uncle, and the inimi
table drollery of tlie schoolmaster Sqveert, his wife and
scholars, are capital materials to build a drama with.
Mrs. Ricliardson plays poor Smike. She was the
first who acted the character in this country, and the
northern critics speak warmly of her efforts. That
she deserves tlieir praise, we feel assued. The ver
satility of her talents, lh« gentle pathos of her voice
and manner, convince us of its truth; and in her hands,
Smike is sure to be “ the feature" of the play. In
New York, Mitchell at the Olympic, and Fisher at
tlie Park, have devoted their great coinic powers to
the representation of Squecfs; each is reported great,
though both were wddely different. But the rich hu
mor, whim and fun of Chapman, lead us to believe he
will equal either, in this prince of pedagogues. Nov*
venomf The very anticipation “ opens rich," and
we expect a treat to-night.
There was a consider able row in the Tennessee
House of Rupri lentiitlvei, outlie 29tli ult. Some
words spoken in delaute, raised a personal controversy
which from words proceeded to blows. Major Row let*
the member iron) Bradley, struck Mr. Haskell, the
member from Madison, in the face with Itis fist.—
The House look cognisance of the offence; hut con
cluded upon the whole, that nobody was particularly
to blame. The combatants did not agree in this opi
nion; tor, after the adjournment, they had a shooting
match in the public square, on leaving die State
ItoHKt). They fired two pistols a piece, a id were
about exchanging a third shot, when the by-atatulers
stopped the fun. Mr. Haskell was shot through the
hand, and his opponent through his clothes.
The Senatorial election, in Tennessee is not yet
decided.
The question in dispute between the two Houser,
here, is whether they shall cleat by joint vote in con
vention, or by concurrent vote in the seperato bodies.
The Senate has nominated ou its part, Hopkins i<.
Turney for the vacancy caused by Mr. Grundy’s
death. The House has not actod upon it.
At the same time, a motion was made in the Sen
ate, to go into convention to choose the other Sena
tor One ol the Democratic Senators was pledged
not to rote on party questions during live absence of
a certain Whig member. He kept his word, but
his democratic colleagues kept him company by re
fusing to vote also—so that there was no quorum,
and the motion was not carried,—although it was de
cided so to lie—but reconsidered.

Census of 1841.—Population or the Brit
ish Empire.—From the result of tho census, which
has just been concluded, it uppuars that the popula
tion of Great Britain and Ireland in the present year
amounts to upwards of twenty sevcu millions of souls.
The return for the three kingdoms, the Channel Is
lands, and the Isle of Man, is as follows:
England and Wales.15,901,981
Scotland.2,624,586
Ireland. 8,255,382
Gucrnsy, Jersey and Man. 124,079
Total, 26,956,028
Tnis is exclusive of the army nnd navy, of mer
chant seamen afloat, and of alf persons travelling
abroad, or not under a roof on the night of the 5th of
June. Including three classes, the population may
be safely taken at twenty seven millions since 1831.
If to this be added the population of the colonies de
pendant on this country, it will be found that the sub
jects of the British crown are more numerous than
that of any other civilized monarchy or republic on
the face of the globe. After making every allowance
for possible exugeration or uncertainty in the accounts
•f the Indian or Australian population, we iuay safoSy
•ay that her Majesty Queen Victoria is the sovereign
of a hundred millions of subjects—a larger portion
of the human race than has ever obeyed any one Eu
ropean sovereign since tho downfall of the Roman
empire —[Liverpool Times.
The New York Express of Wednesday evening,
*n noticing the clearance of the pneket-ship Iicndrick
Hudson, for London, says that it took out N. Dunn,
Esq. with his mngiiiflceiit Chinese Collection, which
has for the last two years been tho subject of an in
teresting and instructive public exhibition at Phila
delphia. fie goes to London to exhibit it under tho
patronage of the Crown, and with an order from the
Lords of the Admiralty to pass it duly free. It will
he exhibited at Hyde Park earner, London, when tho

Some idea may be formed of its magnitude when it is
known that the bulk of the establishment is fourhuu
dr«d tons.
Life of a Medical Man.—There is not any
career which no rapidly wears away the powers of
life, because there is no other which requires a great
er activity of iniud and body, lie lias to bear the
changes of wheater, continued fatigue, irregularity iu
his meals, nnd broken rest; to live in tile midst of
miasina and contagion. If in the country lie has to
traverse considerable distances on horseback, ex
posed to wind and storm; to brave all dangers to go
to the relief of suffering humanity. A fearful truth
for medical men litis been established by the table of
mortality of Dr. Cnsjwr, published in the British Re
view. Of 1000 members of the medical profession,
GOO died before their sixty second year; whilst of
persons leading a quiet life, such as agriculturists or
theologians, the mortality is only 847. If we take
100 individuals of each of these classes, 43 theolo
gians, 40 agriculturists, 85 clerks, and M soldiers
will reach their seventieth year; of 100 professors of
the healing art, 24 only will reach that age, They
are the sign posts to health; they can show the road
to old age, but rarely tread it themselves.
I me Prince de Joinville in Boston.—The
Atlas of yesterday morning contains a full account of
the visit of the Prince to Boston. After being ad
dressed by tile Mayor, who tendered him the freest
and heartiest hospitalities of tile city, he was wailed
on by the committee of Arrangements, and the time
appointed at which they should attend Inin to the
Ball. He visited the Navy Yard and Bunker Hill,
driving through the principal streets to take a view
of the city. In the afternoon the French residents
called upon him, and made him an address, to which
be replied in a suitable strain. Aliout half past nine
he made his appearance at Fanouil Hull, which was
crowded to suttocalion, and, according to the Allas,
was decorated in auporb style. Tha brilliant display
of lights, mingliug with the banners of every land,
■ lie beauty of the Indies, and the magnificence of their
attire, combined to present one of the most magni
ficent sights ever witnessed. Judging from the ecstasy
of the writer the effect must have been overpowering.
He finishes as follows:
"Such a magnificent affair, or oue so completely
successful, we venture to say lias never been witness
ed on this continent. It was worthy of the dislin
gniahed stranger in whose honor it was given—it was
worthy of Boatuu. Can we say morel”
The Prince, we understand, arrived here this
morning, and visi'ed the Navy Yard, where he was
received with all due attention.—[N. ^ • Advertiser

[From the Lou Jon Corrsvpomlvut ol’tlie Boston Couriur. |
London, Nov. 3, 1841.—Three months ago 1 con
sidered that tlie distress then sweeping through^ the
land was at its height, hot I was mistaken, bora
(piirtor of a century, neither Englishmen, Scotchmen,
nor Irishmen, have endured such extreme privations
as they now endure, and it is douhtlul il the worst
has even vet come. With every mail the most heart
rending accounts arc received, ami by every succes
sive mail they appear to grow still more heart rend
ing; were I go to give you these accounts, as olitci
allv reported, tliov would not he believed, and vet
they cmne so rapidly and so well authenticated, that
they must be true. Meetings ure held all over the
' country for the purpose of devising some means for
the relief of the suffering thousands, hut their meet
ings do but little good—there is “something rotten in
Denmark,” and the whole system of the present go
vernment must be revolutionized before the great mass
of the |>oople obtain relief front their present almost
insupportuhlu sufferings. Few persons in America
can realize the present awful condition «>l the great
mass of the population in this kingdom, and therefore
it is that 1 shall attempt to place before my country
men some account of this deplorable and disgraceful
state of suffering among the people.
The Morning Post acknowledges that there is too
much truth in the repeated statements of the condi
tion of the people, for it says “it were idle to deuy
that there are ninny alarming symptoms in the social
condition of Great Britain. It is fearful to behold an
enormous mass of people whose means ol existence
are senary and precarious, and who have thrown off
all restraint of reverence for that which is placed
above them.” There are always numerous poor per
sons in the streets of London who never fail to accost
every well dressed individual, and beg fur a small
pittanco, hut never before have I seen such a large
number of this class in every part of the metropolis.
These miserable looking creatures are at every corn
er and in every street; they follow after every gentle
man, and supplicate and utter blessings for the sake
of a half-penny. They look in a truly wretched con
dition—lion tfioy subsist is n mystery. The Dispatch
has ssme excellent remarks upon the condition of the
country and the people—it says,—
“A foreigner, from a certain class of our public
proceedings and documents, might imagine that
Great Britain and 1 reland constituted the Paradise of
Paradises. They might argue that our country was
exuberantly rich, totally devoid ol wretchedness, and
that our Divines mid \v*tse men had brought all insti
tutions penal, intellectual, and benevolent, to such a
state of absolute perfection, that the whole nation was
bursting with an irresistible zeal to make all the rest
of the world as happy as itself. Great Britain does
not admit foreign corn, because the people are fed to
surfeit, and food is a drug amongst them. She sub
scribes immensely for dispensing religion all over the
civilized mid uncivilized world, and for sending mis
sionaries in every extreme of the earth to impart
truth, nnu to import mo'ikh, silencing in a plelliora ot
truth, ami saturated with books of every port. The
virtuous Great Britain never troubles. Foreign
.States, or countries in Asia or Africa, nliout prisons
or morals, and oil the ground that she is herself so
destitute of crime and so perfect in morality, that her
delicate mind is not susceptible of even a suspicion
that any other countries can need such subjects to lx*
mentioned amongst them. The foreigner, who from
public proceeding and documents, might fairly draw
such conclusions, on coining amongst us would disco
ver that, with all our immense wealth, we have inure
of squalid misery, starving wretchedness, and writh
ing distress amongst greater numbers, and in a more
extreme degree than any other nation in the world—
that our institution.* arc in a neglected and imperfect
state, producing the crimes ami miseries they were
inte,i le.l to prevent or relieve—that corn is not ad
mitted merely to sustain Arislonacy by the sufferings
of the poor—that so far frem having any religions
truth to dispense to others, wc have worse than none
lor ourselves, for the uncertainly of vvliat it is, puls
and keeps us in a perpetual state of discord and bad
feelings—that instead of having a superfluity of bonks
vv.- have a vast part of the population that would Ik*
glad of them could they only rend and write; and as
to the morals, crimes and punishments, we are in a
most deplorable state with respect to all of them.—
British benevolence is sadly erratic—a worthless va
gabond—for whilst it roves every where, it nuglects
all its objects at home."
The following observations upon this subject, from
the Atlas, will give a more correct idea of the pre
vailing distress.
Thu winter is not commenced, yet the general dis
tress throughout the country has arrived at such n
point that nothing hut a wholesale famine can carry
it further.
From Paisley the accounts are frightful—so fright
ful that even Sir Robert Peel, although lie still ad
heres to bis non-intervention as a minister, declares
bis readiness to forward a private subscription for its
amelioration as an individual.
In the potteries famine stalks abroad; thousands
are starving! ami those who would cruelly attempt
to delude the sufferers into the belief that machinery
is the cause of their distress, inay read in the general
destitution there a practical refutation of their foolish
falsehood. In the potteries there is no other machine
worked but the potter’s wheel mentioned in Scrip
ture.
In the metropolis wc have n specimen of the general
destitution in the fact that even printers, usually the
most prosperous of the classes who live by labor, are
appealing to private benevolence, with the appaling
fact that twelve hundred compositors and pressmen in
London arc unemployed, and many of them with large
families, are actually in a starving state.
In Leeds there are 19,236 individuals who are
living on eleven pence farthing per week each!—and at
a public meeting of the inhabitants of that town,
among other barrowing details of human misery, the
following account was given by one of the speakers:
‘The cases of distress,’ Bays Dr. Smiles, ‘of ex
treme distress, tliat had come under his notice that
morning, had harrowed up his very soul. There was
one case he would particularly mention. He had no
ted down the name, and he was sure, if any doubt
existed, individuals might satisfy themselves as to the
correctness of the statements. At the end of Brook
street there was a small cellar dwelling, nine feet by
twelve, into which they were introduced by the enu
merator. The dwelling was so considerably beneath
the street that only ball the window was above it. It
was a damp, disagreeable, ili-liglied, ill aired den.
In that apartment they found three families, consist
ing of sixteen individuals, nine who slept in it every
night. There were faur adults and twelve children.
Six individuals, constituting one family, slept upon a
litter of straw', huddled together not like human be
ings, not oven like animals, for their situations was
not to be compared with the comfort of our dogs and
horses in our stables. Other four or five slept on a
bed of shavings, and the remaining five slept on ano
ther miserable bed in the apartment. When they en
tered, the poor mother was weeping, her infant was
on her knee in the last stage of a fatal disease, dying
without any medical assistance. The family was en
tirely destitute, no means of subsistence, no weekly
earnings, no parish relief. This was one instance.
This is but a sample of the accounts from all parts
of the country. Manchester, Birmingham, Paisley,
Norwich, Preston—almost every town in England or
Scotland where the population is dense has the saiuc
tala to tell. 'I be middle classes cannot assist: they
are themselves falling into actuul want. Distress
such as this must affect the capitalist as well as the
laborer, and, it must spread upwards and downwards
until all the intermediate classes betweeu wealth and
labor are absorded in the calamity.’
Financiers Sentenced.—Tlie Philadelphia
financiers, Massinger and Wright, were sentenced on
Thursday—the former three years imprisonment in
tlie penitentiary, and the latter to four months in the
county prison, each to pay a nominal fine. The
Philadelphia Gazette says, that in passing sentence
upuu Massinger, Judge Barton stated that the court
had taken into consideration the fuct that every dollur
of the defendant hail been given up for the benefit of
his creditors, aud his being discharged by the court
as an insolvent debtor after a strenuous opposition by
his creditors, und would not therefore give him the
extent of punishmeut allowed by law, which was seven
years. In passing sentence upon Wright, the court
said it believed him to have been the dupe ofHassinger,
that there was a wide difference in the two cases, and
a marked difference ofght to bo made in the measure
of punishment.
The^Crocp.—We find in the New York Sun the
following notice of a case of croup: Au old subscrilier
called upon us yesterday, and informed us that by the
publication in our columns u few days since of n sim
ple and easily attainable remedy for the croup we had
been instrumental in saving the life of un infant of
his on Sunday night. The ingredients are sliced
onions, and sugar laid on the slices in layers—the
syrup being administered. He wishes to’“keep it
before tlie people” as a sovereign and almost instan
cous remedy.
All a-Ground.—The closing of tiie CnnalTrade
at Buffalo was hastened, not by ice or snow, but by
the unparalleled deficiency of water iu the Canal for
some miles east of Buffalo—the lowness of Lake Erie
preventing an adequate supply of water for the present
levtil of the Canal,
Unloaded bouts were floundering in the mud be
tween Buffalo and Black Rock; andif Lake Erie con
tinues to full os it has doue for sometime past, and
should reach the level to which it was depressed in
1809-14, and again in 1820, 4cc. the navigation of the
western section of the Erie Canul will he wholly im
peded. Even as it.lius been for several months, tin*
impediments to navigation would be most seriously
felt.
.We cannot reasonably doubt that prompt efforts
will be mado to remedy this difficulty, by employing
the winter to deeuen or enlarge the Western section
of canal sufficiently to draw a supply of water from
Lake Erie even should it continue to fall till it reach
as the lowest depression which it occasionally as
sumes. i
High Water in London.— Owing fo the long
successioa of rain*, coinciding with the spiing tides
anJ winds, forcing the* water tip the Channel, the
Thame* at Loudon, on 18th Oct., overflowed it*
Innks, and caused much loss as well as suffering.
Those conversant with the localities will have some
idea of the height of water from learning that Palace
Yard and the neighboring streets, ami the llnor «1
Westminster Hall itself, were oveiflowed.
Escaped.— The Pittsburg Chronicle says:—
“The recognizance of Win. Pinnoll was forfeited on
Wednesday last, in the U. .S. Court. He was en
gaged in the Brnddeo mail robberies, and gave bail
in bGOOO—himself in b4000, and two suritic* in
$1000 each. Pitmcii has sloped, and hi* bail ain’t
worth a copper.
A Bum. Practical and Theatrical.—The
tradgedy <»l King I.ear was recently pm formed at a
country theatre. The gentleman who personated
(Hosier, managed to say something like the author,
until the scene where his eves are pm out, and then
lie was obliged to ask permission to read tint rest of
the pait.
A Catholic College in the woods of
Maine.—We learn from tile Bangor Whig, that in
township No. 2, Dili range, in the Aroostoek territory,
a large two story wooden building has liven circled
under the direction of Bishop Fenwick, as a college
for the education of youth. Several young men have
been educated in Huron*; for the purpose of teaching
in this college;. The Catholics own half ol’the town
ship in which the college is situated, and many farm
ers have recently settled there.
