T the North Carolina, reader, w&o baa never seen the Legislature of hit nati State in session, ?a few desultory suggestions as to its tnanner.of procedure, &C, may not be altogether uninteresting. In the House of Commons, of course, from tbe na ture of its constitution, and tbe comparatively large number of its members, tbere Is, during its sittings, more confusion, and, at the! tame, time, s greater ap pearance of business. For tbe same reasons and from other considerations, which reflect but too pften, lit tle, credit either upon representative or constituent, the tsleot of the lower House is not, as a general thing, so uniform. On ordinary occasion however, no deliberative assemblage, we venture to assert, con ducts itself with stricter decorum or more perfect or der. The frequent confusion, amounting almost to disorganization, of our National House of Represen tatives, and the boisterous tumults that prevail in the English House of Commons, might welf be put to sBame in contrast with the quiet, sober, and, upon the whole, dignified order of things that marks a North Carolina Legislature. We have said that such is tbe wont of our Law makers, as a general thing. We have seen the oc casion, bowever, when no sucb epithet as orderly, could be applied to their proceedings. They have never descended so low in the scale of Legislative vulgarity and rowdyism, as to present any spectacle similar to those late disgraceful Occurrences in Ohio they have never, in occasional, and, perbaps, una voidable deviations from Parliamentary regimen, at tained anything like the perfection of one of our re mote Western Legislatures, ia making " confusion worse confounded" having never crossed the At lantic, they are unlearned in those strange devices that British Peers resort to, whereby to give their excitement vent but tbey are sometimes, neverthe less, carried away by impulse and feeling, from their stridt propriety. There are two kinds of scenes whiqh occasionally take place in the House of Com mons. The one chiefly consists in personal alterca tions and mutual political criminations. Tbe other description (when onetccurs) is of a more general nature the performers being probably a large pro portion of the members present These latter have their origin in the indisposition of the Body to hear any further speeches ou a particular question, or any speech at all, sometimes, from a particular member. However unparliamentary and rude such conduct may be, it is not always altogether unprovoked. There are even among " the assembled wisdom" not a few, of whom it can with truth be said, that their last words, (because tbe last) like the notes of dying swans, are much the sweetest. But there is again another description, which can be embraced under neither the above categories of a higher and more patriotic character. We select one or two of sucb, as occurring at the recent ses sion of our Legislature.

These official papers, as your Excellency will perceive, were transmitted to the British Government in June, 1775, by the Colonial Governors of Georgia and North Carolina, (Wright and Martin,) and confirm and establish beyond all question, (if indeed there could before have been any doubt,) the fact, that the people of the County of Mecklenburg, formally and solemnly renounced all allegiance to the British Crowm and established a Provisional Government for themselves in tbe month of May, 1775. These papers establish the further fact, that the same patriotic spirit and love of liberty which promp ted the proceedings in Mecklenburg, shortly after-, wards animated the people of New HunoTer, Bladen and other parts of the Colony.

MANLY. We hope to be able, at aa early day, to lay before our readers the Documentary History above refer red to. " When the miserable drivellers in control of the Whig presses at Raleigh, would next sneer at the spirited resolutions and action of our democratic neighbors of Virginia and South Carolina, upon the slavery question, let them point to the timid action volved, and political chicane displayed, because, in a I or ! higjarty Jn oujo w.u lslaiprtvand blrt ch general isonrratulation w feel no diL Ior "reives, n wey yet retain ma xacuuy. Season of such general congratulation, we feel no dis position to indulge in party animadversions. We will take at random, the occasion of the passage of the Bill making appropriation for an Asylum for the Insane The galleries of the splendid Hall were decked with the beauty of the Capital the amiable and philantropic being herself, who has devoted time, talents and fortune to the cause of suffering human ity, was there, an anxiously interested watcher of its deliberations ; the lobbies were crowded to over flowing, with an assemblage carried thither by the We copy the foregoing from the last " Mecklen burg J enersoman." Its Editor proper, is, at pre sent, we understand, in Wilmington, attending to matters involved in the estate of his late lamented brother, the Editor of the u Journal," and we do not know into whose hands be bas committed temporari ly the management of his Paper. Now, we never like to shoot at a man in a mask, for one cannot tell in such cases, whether to charge with grape, cannis- ter, pigeon or mustard seed shot ; but when a person, impulses not of listening to oratorical display or by extreme intellectual penance, bas cudgelled bis brain for a little squib, which manifestly pleases him so well, that he disports in the idea like an un ruly child, it is well enough, perhaps, to humor his vanity, by a notice. In what does the " timid action" of the Whig par ty of the late Legislature consist? In declaring that North Carolina venerates the Union of these thunder of anrjlanse. echoin? from roof to haapment.

Its people were not set wild on account of their, Gold ; as is the case of the Pennsylvanians now (aad not only that part of the Northern People) at the accounts from the California El Dorado. There Is no telling when this gold fever will sub side, as every new account from that region adds to the general epidemic. States that do not wish to be depopulated had better go to work to hunt up some gold mines within their borderi Gen. Taylor Is to be here, as 1 before said, on tbe 22d of this month. Mr. Fillmore is expected in a few days. It is generally believed here on all sides, from present indications, and from previous obser vation, that the new administration will be wise, moderate and popular. The city is beginning to be already thronged with strangers. Whether they are office-seekers or transient visitors is bard to de termine. As a piece of advice to those who may comfnereto Obtain office, I would say, as emanating from a gentleman irom . uaton Kouge, who knows Gen. Taylor well, that bis disposition is sucb as to regard least the claims of those who may iinportune him most; and that toe nest method for those to pursue whose object is office, is to approach him mod estly. I would add, for the consolation of those who may be cw-appointed, that they need not suffer, when a trip to California is now so expeditious and inviting. No one knows yet where our chief officers elect have chosen their headquarter. The Foreign news, within a few days received, still leaves it doubtful whether the Republic of France, under Napoleon, can stand. The people of that devoted country seem to be destined to suf f r much yet. While tbe seat of Government is Paris, nothing but violence, instability, revolution and bloodshed may be looked for. Unless that peo ple can be speedily possessed of some of our stamina, they must continue W endure Monarchy. If they resembled our countrymen more in disposition, they might be safe in having their Capitol in a large Ci ty ; not otherwise. The Washington Union begins to fear that the British Tariff of '46 wil, not be altogether safe un der the Administration. It talks much about Mhs imm Vjmt nr ti watiw-m-thwinatter. rt Opens its oolumas to an attack upon Mr. Skinner's most excellent publication, u The Plough, the Loom, and the A nviT' because it ably shows up, in many of its articles, but unavoidably and incidentally, the free trade dogmas and the untenable theories of that school. This uneasiness and special pleading on the part of the Union, is not hard to account for. It cannot forget that the act of '46 was but a faction measure a measure beyond the people's wish in opposition to such that the Executive branch of the Government used its influence with Congress in its favor prowling through both Houses, while it was being discussed to bully men into voting a gainst their convictions. Every thing pertaining to the Red Man, is inter esting. Many efforts have been made in Congress and by individuals to meliorate their condition. There is a proposition now before Congress, (weU intended, no doubt) to unite them all under one Go vernment. West of the Mississippi.

Congress has done nothing of importance since I last wrote, and it is likely to be a very unimportant session. We are happy to perceive that North Carolina has now determined to shake of off the sloth that has too much bound her for some time, as evinced in the passage by her Legislature of that great measure so important to her interests the Central Rail Road Bill. Her resources cannot fail to be mere ftreatly developed thereby and the interests of the State greatly promoted.

Tbe Mail says: " Driesbach ran to quell the fight, with spears and pieces of joist and at last entered the cage. But his power over the beast was at an end. The lion seiz ed him and threw him down, tore his scalp off his head, and bit hhn severely on his right arm, which bled profusely. He made his escape from the cage, with his clothes completely torn from his back Medical aid was ,called, and from the last accounts we learn his wounds, though extremely painful, are noi serious, n was xar more than three hours Rf. terwards that the lion was subdued, and rendered i ? i a- t. . i t oDeuiem 10 tne Keepers."
