We have selected the members of this Board from both political parties, and also from the several deno minations of Christians, to avoid any thing like giving-a political or , sectarian bias or character to it. It is made' obligatory upon the Board of Directors to make to the Kpffiilatiire a full reoort of the receipts and disbursements and general condition of the Institution, at each successive ses sion. It is only by this course that the Legislature and through it the people could be Informed of its operations. I must say, therefore, in behalf of the Committee, that this bill is the result of their most anxious deliberatious, and we believe if passed will further the great benevolent purposes of the Institution.

Williams reported a bill to establish a Board of Directors for the Deaf and Dumb Institution of this State. Mr Williams said, that the object of the bill, which the committee had directed him to report, was to carry out the views and accomplish the purposes of the original founders of the Institution. The act of '44-5 established this institution to afford the unfortunate deaf and dumb of our State the facility of acquiring an education to elevate them to the condition of rational and thinking beings, capable of enjoying social intercourse, and to enable them to perform understanding, the high duties of citizens and patriots. The School has succeeded admirably since its commence ment bringing together a goodly number of pupils horn different parts of the State ; and, from the assiduity and ability of its Teachers, has more than fulfilled the hopes of its most sanguine friends. The act of '44-5 place this'' School under the super vision of the Literary Board of the State, and the object of the present bill is to re peaL that part of the act, and establish a board of Directors. This Board shall be charged with the general interest and wel fare of the institution to appoint and re move Professors regulate tuition fees, and to draw from the Literary Fund or Trea sury such monies as are necessary for its successful operation, &c Your Committee thought this course advisable, from the fact that the Literary Board has constantly upon its hands an immense quantity cf business, disconnect ed entirely with the affairs of that Institu tion, and was unable to devote that atten tion its importance demanded. . The mem bers of that Board are entitled to receive three dollars per day each for their services, and, upon the ground of economy, the Com mittee thought that the Literary Fund should not be burthened with this ex pense. We have therefore constituted this Board of Directors, composed of per sons who have hitherto manifested 4eat interest for its success, and whose time Saturday, Jan. 6. :t '' -v' SENATE.

(The ob jections to the bill were understood to be that it was novel in principle in this State; that there was no liability clause binding the stockholders, and that the amount of capital was not limited, aiI thedealing in atiicks defined by tWtKoyinbrtof the bill.1 Oh motion of S J Person the House pro- ceeded to consider tne diu lor the more rain and speedy administration of ius ticej the question "being upon the amend ment proposed by Mr Hayes exempting tne vuuuijr ui vuciuitcc Hum me operation of the law; which amendment Mr Haves a .1 . t subsequently withdrew. (T. he main feature of the bill provided for the abolition of all jury trials in the County Courts the addition of two new Judicial Circuits, and for three terms in stead of two in the Superior Courts.) -The bill was advocated by Mebane, Bar ringer, Person, Stanly and Steele; and op- msed by Hayes, V alser, Leach and Mose y. After a Ions debate, Mr Mosel v moved the indefinite postponement of the" hill. In making this motion Mr Mosely said he did not rise tor the purpose ot discuss ingthe merits of the bill particularly, but simply to remind the House that it was a matter of grave moment a "bill of vast importance, and consequently we hou!d not act upon.it hurriedly and indiscreetly. It is true, sir, that we are clad with some little authority, it is true that we bear the title of-legislators, of representative's ot the free people ot the Ohl INorth State; it is also true that they have confided' a great trust in us, and therefore expect that we will advocate every measure, adopt ev ery plan, and in fine, use our utmost ex ertions, feeblethough they may be, tor the success of every thing which we may think will redound in the least degree imagin able to their interests, good being, and wel fare. : ' Sir, from the course which has been pur sued, it is manifest that the bill in its pre sent shape does not- suit every one, for amendment after amendment has been of fered, and if suffered to live longer, the bill will be a perfect rudis indigisia que molas. With all due deference to some of the gen tlemen who argued this question, I would here remark that I was tempted to rise in my stat this morning and exclaim, in the language of the western lawyer,, that ' it would be as easy to follow a cat fish throu'gh the muscle shoals, to pursue ah eel side lined through the suck, to sail up the Mis sissippi on a straw, and to set tne universe on fire with the tail of a lightning bug, as to follow them in their speeches,-composed as they were ol such a heterogeneous mass of mental incongruities-" For these, and many other considerations, I move that the bill be indefinitely postponed, and upon this question I call the yeas and nays.

He attended, and dur ing prayer, the Lord Almijrhty preached I a sermon more awfully solemn, than any mortal can preach. Miss Ann Higher, a young woman about 20 years of age, was struck dead, almost instantly : She only breathed about two or three times and her immortal spit it took its everlasting ffligjit to God who gave it. It is believed that she was certainly prepared to go.' She has been a member of the Protestant Metho dist church some time. " In the midst of life we are in death." Mr Gries was to have preached from the text It is appointed unto all men once to die, and after death the judgment cometh.1 He did not preachy but deliver ed an exhortation on the shortness of hu man life, and certainty of 5 death."

How ever, the Captain's daughter, Miss Arnold, a young woman of the age of 20, was on board, and, having received some intima tion of the piratical intentions of the men, she armed herself with a pair of pistols, secured all the fire-arms, and getting the mate and another man to join her, bravely forced the mutineers to work the shin to Aden, wnere tney were in confinement. The vessel above referred to, is the Rainbow, which left Southampton, com manded by Capt. Arnold, who was well known in Quebec.

Fellows of this city, formerly clerk of the steamer Belle, which plied between New York and Albany, has invented a new method of constructing vessels, which promises to be of great im portance. The principle is to construct vessels of all kinds, without the use of heavy cumbrous timbers, placing in their stead small round iron or copper ribs, which pass from the keel through the cen tre of every plank and deck beam, where they are secured by large screw riuts which bind the vessel together five times as strong as by the common method. The advantages of this method are, much grea ter strengtlv, buoyancy, durability and economy. We have been shown several other inventions by Mr Fellows, which ex hibit great ingenuity. AVic York Sun.

States, who have reason to suspect the existence of any kind of mineral riches upon their lands, should avail themselves ot this ooportunity to test that fact, by the surest of all kno'vn tests, before the abundance of discoveries in till part of the country shall have lessened this source of wealth in their estate. ADVENTURERS TO CALIFORNIA. Persons going to California cannot make a bet ter investment than by purchasing one of these instruments, which will not onlv be worth fifty times its value there, to sell again, but will be of inestimable worth to those who go in search of gold, as has been proved by the most abun dant experiment both in California and the U. S. TESTIMONIALS. Signor D'Alvear docs not deem it necessary to encumber this notice with a long list of testimo nials, in proof of the value of the goldometer, and gold seeker's guide. The brilliant results ofhis labors in California, and the discovery, this very week, of fresh viensof Gold in Virginia, and beds of Coal in Rhode Island, by its use', are alone suf ficent to stamp it as the greatest discoverv of the age. Nothing but the extreme cheapness of the instrument, and his desire to see it used for the benefit of mankind induces him to dispose of it at the low price for which he offers it. Besides this, his own desire for wealth is nearly satisfied. Astor House, New York, Dec. 21, 1848. The undersigned, having this day witnessed the practical operation of Signor Jose De Alvrar's newly invented magnetic instrument, the goldo meter. feel entirely satisfied that it. extraordinary power of detecting Mineral ore hidden beneath the surface of the earth, and have no doubt that it will prove an invaluable aid in the discovery of the Mineral resources of the United States and the world.
