Mr. Gilmer introduced a Bill entitled a Bill sup plemental' to cju Act entitled an Act to secure the State against any and every liability incurred for the Raleigh & Gaston Rail Road Company, and for the relief of the same; which passed first reading, and ou his motion,' was referred to the Committee on J Internal Improvements. On motion of Mr- Halsy, tjxe .Senate rescinded the order of reference heretofore made, on the bonds of indemnity given to secure the State for liabilities for the Raleigh &. Gaston Rail Road, &c-"to a Se lect Committee. :V ' Mr. Halsey then introduced the following Reso tlon, which was read and adopted,. -viz : ' r Resolved, That so much of the Governor's Mes sage as relates to the Bonds' of indemnity given to secure ,the State for liabilities for the Raloigh and Gaston Rail Road the several Acts relating to said Road, together, with the disposition of said Road, be referred to a Joint Select Committee of five on the part of each House, and that a' proposition io that effect be sent to the House of Commons, r The Resolution in favor of James Page being put on its second reading Mr. Francis called for the Yeas and Nays . . ' "-".'. Mr. Wilson, of Edgeeomb, desired to know what objections the Senator from Haywood had to the pas sage of.the Resolution.,. .He .(Mr., W-) had under stood it to be the universal custom to pay Doorkeep ers their mileage, and per diem for the time they were in attendance upon either House before its or ganization, although they should not be successful in being re-elected; and as such, he was prepared to vote for the Resolution,' although the Doorkeeper should haye eonie from Haywood, or cvt the most re mote County it tin Stute! He was of the opinion that -all. the officers of .the preceding Legislature were bound to attend at any subsequent Session, and Notwithstanding . they may . not be re-elected, they were certainly entitled to mileage, as well as the per dienx for the time they .did attend.; , -' Some remarks, of the same purport, were made by other Senators, when the vote was taken and the Resolution passed unanimously. Whereupon, Mr. Francis moved a suspension of the Rules requiring Resolutions of this nature to be read on three several days, and moved that the Re solution be read a third time; which motion being adopted, die then offered the following amendment : 6 And. that the Public Treasurer be authorised to pay Samuel J. Finch for one . d.iy's. attendance and mileage at the Session of 1842", . -V--.-?, . Mr. Francis said that he bad called for the names of Senators to be recorded solely on the grounds that he was anxious to ascertain whether the members of the Democratic party had changaJ their notions' up on this .matter since. 1842. ' At that Sesaion he offer ed in the other House a similar. Resolution -embracing the substance cf the amendment now offered in faror of S. J. Finch, i He was then -denounced by the Democratic party as being -too desirous of put ting his hands into the. public crib,' in favor, of men from-his section of the State. In fact,' said Mr. F, the matter was considered of such grare importance, as to elicit a labored article in the organ of the De mocratic party in this. City, to show his (Mr. F.'s) want of economy of the Public Funds. He said he was, however, happy to find, by the unanimous vote of the Senate on the Resolution now before them, a disposition to do justice and to pay to. Mr. Page a quantum meruit for services rendered to this House at the opening of the Session; and as the debt to Mr. Finch was still unpaid, although it was contracted some four years ago,. he was satisfied no Senator would think for a moment of bringing any statute of limitation to bear upon the claim of Mr. Finch. If, aa he BureW believed, the claim of Mr. Pago was a just one and ought to be paid, surely that of Mr. Finch was of a similar, character, jmd would, .he hoped, without a dissenting Toice, bes voted for by every member of the Senate." - ' Air. Wilson said as the geutlcman from Haywood had no w accomplished his purpose of committing the Senate by their recorded ' Tote although he (Mr. W.) teas Already committed hy his remarks heretofore made, yet lie was desirous' pf looking int6 the law and voting understandingly .on the subject ; for If it was right to pay the one, it certainly was also right to pay the other, and he was pr pared to do both, if he should find the law as he believed it to be.. He would, however, move that the Resolution . and the amendment lie on the table for -the present ; which was agreed to. 1 7 !,. '--.. .

" Mr. Gilliam, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported unfavorably on the Homestead Bfll ; which was, on motion, laid on the table. Mr. Gilliam, from the same Committee, reported, with an amendment; the Bill to amend the 30th sec tion of the lC5th Chapter of the Revised Statutes, entitled u Salaries - and Fees f which was adopted and the Bill passed secoud reading. - Mr. Hawkins, from the Coramittee on Claims, re ported, without aminent, the Resolutions in favor of Benj. Ivey, of Stanly County,' Robert B. Davis, late S hcriff of Washington County, and E. A. Moore Sheriff of Caldwell County ; which were severally read the second time and passed. 1 'Mr. Dancy, from the Committee on Education, rc reported, with sundry amendments, the bill to reduce the Tax on Billiard Tables when Mr. Flcmmins, of Yaney, said as a majority of the Committee on Edu cation, had determined upon a reduction of the tax on Billiard Tables, and had alto reported an amend ment to the Bill before the House, "by which it. is proposed, that the Revenue arising from that source shall be applied to the general expenditures of Gov ernment instead of the School Fund ; he thought it proper that the Bill should be referred to the Com mittee on the J udiciary, and moved its reference ac cordingly." Mr. Washington said, that as a member of the Judiciary Committee as well as the Committee ou Education, he concurred in the news cf the gentle man from Yaney, (Mr. Flemming.) It did seem somewhat outre for the Committee on Education to be reporting "a bill for the reduction of the tax on Billiard Tables."; It was certainly difficult on the fi rst blush, to soe the exact connexion between the two subjects ! But it would be recollected by the House, that the original, bill introduced by the gentleman from New Hanover, (Mr. Williams,) was entitled "a bill to increase the School fund,", and such being the title as well as the aim and object of the bill, it was very naturally and properly- referred to the Com mittee on Education, t -. In the consideration, of the. bill, that Committee thought two questions presented themselves; first, ought the tax on Billiard Tables to be reduced at all? " And secondly, if the tax was reduced, should any Revenue arising therefrom,'-be added to the School Fond of the particular Counties in which such Tables were established, or go into the Public Treasury to meet the current expenses of the Gov ernment?'' ' - -: ' - On the first point, the Committee were unanimous ly of opinion, that while the present tax of five hun dred dollars was never intended by the Legislature as a prohibition, it had nevertheless t fact operated as such i and as a Revenue measure, it was both neces sary and proper, that there should be s reduction of the tax imposed. - . To this proposition, Mr.. W. him self, the more readily assented, because a very ..large and respectable portion of his constituents, had by a memorial which he had the honor to present a 'few days ago, expressed a wish that such reduction should be made, 00 far at least as the County of Craven was concerned. V On the question of .the appropriation of any Re venue which might be raised from the tax on Billiard Tables, there was "naturally much' more difficulty and division among the members of the Committee. It was contended on the one hand, that as there would be of course but few Billiard Tables' in the State, and aa .those Counties where they were situated would necessarily not only pay the principal part of the tax imposed, but mainly suffer the injury and in convenience arising "from the establishment of such Tables those Coonties ought in - justice ana equity, to receive' the whole Revenue arising therefrom. ' Of this opinion; was Mr. W. himself. - It certainly was a strong inducement with him to rote for' the pro posed alteration in the law, to reflect that if we en couraged a necessary evil,- good might at least come of it; and that .while -gentlemen-were apparently wasting their time and their money, they were in directly contributing to the education of the inno cent youth of the Country. But it was contended on the other hand, that in the present condition of the finances of the State, it was not only proper, but absolutely necessary that all Revenue arising from - new or. extraordinary sources, should go into the Public Treasury ; aad a majority of the.Committce being of that opinion.' ithe amendment now before the House, was adopted sod reported.' The aim and object of the bill being thus defeated, and its nature and. effect bung thus dis connected from the subjects Of Common Schools and education, a change of title was "made necessary . The Bill, therefore, appears before the H6use now simply as "a Bill to reduce the tax on Billiard -Tables," and hating nothing on earth to do with the subject of education, ; Mr. W: concurred 'with'the gentleman from Yaney, (Mr. Flemming,) that a re ference to" the Committee on the Judiciary, or the Committed on Finance, would be decidedly proper, and he hoped thcreforethat the motion would prevail. -Mr. Fag$! from the Select Committee to iwhom was' referred the Bill to change the location of the Court House of the County of Lincoln, reported the same. Without amendment, which "was, on motion of Mc Flemmingordered to lie on the table. r' Mr: Rayner, from' Hertford, introduced a TJill to repeal an Act, entitled u an Act to amend an Act en titled an Act concerning the mode of choosing Seua tors and Representatives in the Congress of the Uxri ted Sutea, and for the purpose of securing a just and proper division of the State into .Congressional Districts i which passed first reading, and was refer red to the Select Joint Coamittto raised on that sub ject, -: -J - -: " , : Mr. Waddell, from tfceSelect Comnittea, tdwhoa was referred the Bill to establish a new County, to be called Gusto, made a report with sundry amendments ; the first of Which 'Was rejected and . the ethers concurred in, and on motion of Mr. J, H.

On Friday last the two Regiments of this Coun ty assembled in this City for Inspection and Review. Gen. D. S. Crenshaw was the OScer in command, but, at his solicitation, Gov. Graham, Captain Gen eral and Commander-in-Chief reviewed the Troops, accompanied by his Aides. : TM whole Staff made a fine display ; and we have" heard the General's Aid, Col. Clarke, particularly complimented for his efficient and prompt services on the occasion. C We observe that several of the Papers of the State announce that . I.

To avoid mistakes, as there are other persons of the same name, it is, perhaps, well to state, that the name of the Door-keeper elect, u S, J. and not J. J. Finch. CONGRESS. This body meets next Monday. We will keep our readers advised of the proceedings. ' We hope to employ a'speckl Correspondent, but the arrange ments are not yet completed. CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.; We have forgotten, if we ever knew, who has the credit of having first given currency to this sage aph orism. We believe it is not found in totidem vertis, in Solomon's Proverbs, but it was known, probably, before his day. It is certainly known as a truth in ours ; and is properly appreciated, by this time, in our own Senate. An exemplification of its force oc curred -in that body, last Saturday. A Resolution was on its second reading, allowing to James Page, the Democratic Doorkeeper, of the Senate last Session regular pay for one day's ser vice at the beginning of this Session, and also his mileage in coming from home to Raleigh, to wait at the door, until the Senate was duly organized. True, he was a candidate for re-election, and came for that purpose; but it was maintained by his friends, that that made no difference. He was an officer of the Senate until another was appointed, and as such, was entitled to his pay for services performed until his successor was chosen. It was getting on swim mingly, when Mr. Fraxcis called for the Yeas and Nays. This meant something nobody knew what The Democratic Senators rubbed their. eyes and looked at Mr. Francis, and then they looked at each other, as much as to say what does all this mean? Mr." Wilson at last rose, and evidently expecting to catch something, begged to' know of the Senator from Haywood what was in the wind, now ? Was not this a proper Resolution ? Was not Mr. Page entitled to his pay ? Vas he not Doorkeeper of the Senate, and obliged to perform his duties until his successor regularly took the keys? , Had he not come from home, and performed his 8uty as Door keeper at least for one day, and ought he not, there fore, to be paid ? ; He frankly confessed that he was committed in this matter. "Mr. Page had counselled with him, and had been advised of the justice of his claim. He would say the same thing, if he hod come from Haywood. He desired to vote understanding ly. If it was not right, and according to law. and custom, he would not vote for it. He appealed to the Senator, to declare his object in asking for the Yeas and Nays ' Mr. Francis smiled, looked steadfastly at the stuc co work brer the Speaker's Chair, but said nothing. Mr. Speight said that he had just been informed, by the Principal Doorkeeper that he had received such pay heretofore, and he knew nb reason why' it should not 'be granted in this case. Mr. F. was a gain interrogated as to his intention. . - '. - The Senator from' over the Mountains still did not choose to answer, but he looked things unutter able. The Democrats were still more distressingly bewildered. v The Yeas and Nays were taken Mr. Albright (Whig) led the danco by voting Yea the next on the list did the same, and all, both Whigs and Democrats, recorded their votes in favor of the Resolution, until the name of Mr. Francis was call ed, and he voted a sonorous "Aye?1. A smile played over the faces of both sties. There was some joke in it. ', It was sure to burst out .somehow and some where, but no one know where or when at least, we so judged, from the queer and doubting looks' of Senators. The Senate voted unanimously for the Resolution. When the vote was announced. Mr. F. moved a suspension of the Rules ofthe Senate, and that it bo put upon its third readisg which' was done.

" ' The election of this gentleman to the UiSSenatej' is hailed With universal joy by tne W higs of the na tion. Mr. Badger, as a lawyer and a statesman, has long ago acquired ' an elevated fame. Daring his brief term in office as Secretary of tie .Navy, under the Harrison Administration, he proved himself an able Cabinet office, and an honest and independent public iflan. Ijis accession to the Senate will be a valuable addition even ta the nun)"y . of eminent Whig statesmen who now adorn -jcouneils,; and sustain the principles in which tlforoeperity of our country is involvcdJ"icAW7id Republican. i We are much gratified in being enabled to state, that on Friday, the Hon. GeorgeE. Badger was e-: lected to, the Senate of the. United States, to fill the vacancy occasioned bf the resignation of Wm. H. Haywood. The superior ability of Mr. Badger, his 6uavity of manners, and ' his xealous advocacy of Whig principles, will enable him at once to take a high stand in the Senate. We do not know that a more judicious selection could have been made All our readers will be glad to learn that the Hon. Willie P. Mangum has been' elected . for aix years , from the 4th of March next, when his present term of service will expire. Hfflsboro Recorder. V '- " The election of a TJ. S. Senator, vice W. H. Hay wood, J r. took place yesterday, which resulted in the choice of the Hon. Gsorge E. Badges, of Raleigh. It had 'theretofore been feared by the- Whiga, and confidently -expected "by the Locofocos, that arupture would be occasioned in the.Jdominjant party, iir the selection of their candidate fur this elevated-post, so conflicting were the sectional and personal preferences-J entertained by tne members trom tne dmerent: por tions of the State. ' But it will be gratifying intelli gence to every Whig, the State over," to learu, that no such predilections were allowed to map the har-. mony and unity, bf thsWhig ranks :-but after mu tually consulting together, and canvassing the claims of the several eminent men who had been -spoken' of for this distinguished ofiice with a hearty good will, and with a determination to show an unbroken front, they settled upon thedLstinguished gentleman whose name"! have above, announced, and elected, him, with an unanimity most cheering to the heart of the Patriot .for in this we read, that no minor considerations will be allowed ta swerve them - from the duty they owe the State, andthat fidelity expected of them by, the' Whig party. However much it may have been de sired by the W hies of the iast, that our cusunguished and able fellow-citizen should be sent to the Seriate of the U. S, and however well satisfied we may eel that be would tnere, in tnat more elevated gpner,Traye gained new laurels as a powerful debater as Well as a ripe Statesman, and have shed a lustre on his name of which the most exalted talent might be proud of, yet, it is tho part of wisdom submissively to bow to the combined and mature deliberations of our friends each of whom were equally xealous in upholding the character of our good old State ; knowing, as we do, that nothing like neglect, distrust or lack of appre-' ciation entered into the causes of a selection over osr peculiar fevorite. But. there is a most gratifying and pleasing reflection in this choice ; Laying aside ourpersonal and sectional faroritisms, there is. no man within our borders whom we would more glad have seen in the National Senate Chamber than George E. Badger. . Learned and , eloquent, second, to no' manln the T7nion-fHS&gacious and experienced well versed in our national History and. usages--4n short, s profound scholar and polished gentleman cf un doubted probity, and Whig to the core) Jie is just the man t6 be relied on ; add whenever occasion re quires that his vowe shall be heard, we "faff that it will be in the support of the Lai; and for tie good bf our country, manfully 'wshrting .anyeiMioach ments or usurpations Upon thtC sacred charter of our liberties and the contitution, whether attempted by Congress or by tho Executive of the United States.
