At the request of the President. the dele Pates who had arrived since the last ad Journmeut, came forward and registered their names. The Secretary the", read ithe minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. James G. Holmes, Esq. of Charieston, then rose and stated to the Conventio'n that the committee appointed yesterday to re eeive subscriptions from the membmers for the purpose of procuring a Silver Cup, to be presented to Wmn. Dearing, Esq. of Ath ens. had discharged that duty, and he hoped the Chairman of that committee woul be allowed to present the same; which was granted. This ceremony produced quite a sensasion in the Convention-E. Bellinger, Esq. the Chairman of the committe, came forward, in behalf of the Covention, and after one of the most feeling addresses we have heard for some time, presented the Cup to Mr. Dearing-concluding his ad dress with the hope that he might long live to enjoy the reputation of being the "first one who proposed the Commercial Convention, and ono whom we claim. not so --much the son of Georgia as of the South'" that this Convention might he the means of adding the happiest results to the prosperi ty of the Southmand that he would esteem the gift, not so much for its value,iut asthe best legacy he could leave his children, to emulate them to follow his worthy example in behalf of the commerce of the South. Mr. Dearing rose, mch excited, and returned his thanks to the Convention and the Committee, for the honor done him-it was more than lie merited-hut if what little lie had been instrumental in doing, should result to the benefit of the South and Southern commerce, so long as his life was spared. exertion on his part should not be wanting to place it on a sure and perma nent foundation. On motion of Ker Boyce, it was then Resolved, That the Pr'esident and Vice Presidents of this Convention he permitted to take part in the discussions. Judge Longstreet, chairman of the com mittee of 21, then rose and read the Re port and Resolutions of the Commtittee. The report we' will give as soon as we can obtaim a copy of it-the resolutions follow. 1. Resolved, That the members of this Convention will use their best exertions in their respective States, to form trading as sociatins, in order to carry into effect the purposes of this Convention. 2.!Resolved, That increasing the facili ties of intercommunication by Rail Roads and Canals, between the interior Western undjSouthm.Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico States,are among tie most important meas utsof restoring to the Commercial Ports of the latter, the direct trade which has so recently departed from them. 3. Resolved, therefore, That while it is strongly recommended by this Convention, to the dilferent States to afford every possi ble aid to approved works of internal im provement, having the above objects in view it is equally obligatory on the companies or corporations chartered for said objects, to consider their works as but parts of one great design, and so harmonize and co-ope rate in their operations as to produce through those great arteries and eeins of the com mercial body, a circulation, as pet-feet as that which tnourishes and animates the hu man system. 4. Resolved, That the Banking institi tions of the respective States in which they are located, catinnot moree surely advnmce their own imnterests. in connectioni with time public prosperity, than by alToring sumccor in thmeir hegmmngs, to tihose geatt worksa. wvhtch, intendedi to developie time hidde-n me sources of iterior coumntries, tmust in returnm reciprocate to those instittutionts time benefits of an increasimg andi extemnded commmerce. 5. Resolved, therefore, Thaxt while time beneficial eifeets of batnking privileges so ju. diciously granted by the States of Tennmes ee, North and Sothi Catrolina amid Geor gia, to the Central and Athens, andi tihe Chmarleston and Cimncinnati Ramil Roads, have been most clearly deimnstrated in the successful progress of those great works to completion-it mocst respect fully suggests to time consideraiom oif time othe.r South Western States, (requmirinig atm extension of banking capital) thazt aid, thmroumgh similar institutions, be granted onm Rail Rtoads anmd other works of imnprovemnent, wvithin their own humis. havinig in view time importanut designs of more intimnate comimercial andI social relations amrong themselves, ins well as with the more remote Stattes of time in terior. 6.

At this stage of the proceeditngs, in order to conciliate all parties, Mr. C. .1 Jenkins of Augusta, rose and ofl'ered the follo wing reso lution, which was'unaninously adapted as a substitute to the fifth resolution reported by the committee Resolved.

We have d welt on the necessary agency of the Btanks in the prlmotuotiin of a direct intercourse with Eurole--lat, in enabling our icrebantst.I. to purchase in Europe, by metans of letters of credit, and 2nd, to sell on extended credit in tle U. States by the discounn of lon, paper. The Bank of Charleston has holdly led the way in eff'eet inc the first object. That institution grants lets. rs of credit lir the moderate charge of I percent, which is not above as reasonnhle gusarautce furenIdorsing 'he credit of liries. It now remains for the other istitutions of le city. in couLnexion with the Rail Roid Bank, to perform their part, hv discount ing- the paper receiving by our wholesale mnerchants hom their country eustoners. Withaut the due combination of the-e two elentents of credit, it is unnvailiug so enter into competition with the New York im porters. Next in importance to these means is the establishment of linres or Packets whether by Steam or Satilin Veels, so as to in sure regularity of cottimunication Thi, is a necessary ingredient in tiny scheme for the recovery of the )iret't Trade. The object of profit should toit lie sought, and. if necessary, it should he sacrificed, at the outset, to establish a regularity of commu tication by a line of sailing or steam pack ets. Let th ie mierelhants of Charleston and Sayannah commtuenee tla work, by showing a disposition to subscribe liberally towards it thetmselves, and inviting co-operation frot public spirited smiivid uals, in the in terior towns, so as to acquire fonds for a pur pose which is intinaely blended with any well cosidered plan of Direct Trade.

INTmcays-rtNu NantarivE.-Aimong the ves-els lost on the Florid.a riee dursng the memorable gale of the 7 th and 0th Sept. lust. our readers may remember the brig Olney. Cap.. homas. This vessel,whictm hai left St. Jago de Cuba .r few days pore vious with a cargo composed ol a uillhou of eigams, a quantity of tobacco, and a large number ofecedar logs, was wrecked on Fe I duy, the 7th Sept. about l miiles to tihe north of cape Florida. She had attempted to an. hor, but the tempiest was so viole t that both her anchors sn.apped like puck thread, and she wasdraven high and dry on the Florida shore. The 'persoas on boart, c.mpamrisiug the crew 0l sesen len. and a single passenger, remained in the' brig in thie contaml expectation that the wreekess in the ,neighborhood would come to their re lief- iwo days after the Oluey had gone ashore, while the captain and crew were at breakimst, the report of rifles was heard. Every one rejoiced in the belief that asist 'alce was at hand. On ascending the deck what were the sum prise and horror of these poor fellows, at beholding the brig in posses sion of some twenty ferocious and well -an ed Indians, who had collected on the star hoard quarters, and who menaced them wimh immmaediale death in case of the slight est rsisance. The crew were totally us armed. and implicit obedience to mime mer ciless savages constituted their sole chance of ultimate safety. 'hey were ordered by signe to remove the eigars from the hold and throw them on the beach. About one hundred im .if boxes had been removed, when captain Thomnas, a hoIild ami irritable man. refused unecoudi tionally to throw away any mcv' of his cargo. One of the savages, enraged at his disobedience, knocked him down with the butt end of his rifle. This was the signal of attack, a volley of imilets was immaedi aely dis'harged at the unfortunate com manudr, and having been pierced by two rifle halls, he was hurled yet l.reahiing on the beach. One of the wretches lerceiv ing that he still lived, seized the hatch bar mand plunged it into his breast, extinguish Snig every remnant of life. The crew were then comnanded to go ashore. Seacely had they touched the land, whea a second dise;m'ge of rifles was made, by which five were killed. Of the remaining two, one who had escaped unwounded, fled so fast that the Indians were unable to overtake hin,. 'I'ihe otiher, Johnson by name, sprang towards some low bushes which grew at a short distance. and having heard that green branches were considered by the savage as a miken, of peace, lortunately bethought him sell of maksng an eftort to have his life spared. lie plucked one of the bushes from the ground, fell on his knees, and held it up with signs of sulpplication.
