These laws have become so.nu mouas.eaered andcomplicated,tbat although they may ber diligently sought, they are harder to be found, and less-understood than any other part of our Statutes, and have thus beome a grievous burthen to public ollicers, whether le. gislative. judicial, executive or military, and an intolerable inconvenience to the people, so that there is no reasonable man who has examined, or refected upon the subject, but will dcrlare that a Digested Act, containing all the Militia Laws of the State, is a desideratum no longer to be delayed, but ought promptly to be adopted. Wha it is remembered that they contain pro. bably more pains and penaties Than all the other Acts, why should they be pernitted tore main intolved in sach inexplicable intricacies? Shall we permit the laws themselves to set a mare to the unwary, so unworthy of the State, and so unjust to its citizens? ILetit not be said as a ground for fUrther postponement-that -1ome competent person may undertak. gest these aets, and we are Ihr rotak print less,biu any population on earth-give trstl board, and she can drafn will take the whole world, ages to execute t itis time that she should cotne down from her eastle building to the cotmo: place concerns or life; if obedience be due to the laws, it is bust a reasonable requisition that they should be wade e as to be understood : it is titr~o that the useful ore should be extracted from the useless drroas, that has been collecting from the lava of legis lation for nearly half a century. Nor isthe proposal to revise the M ilitia Iaws without precedent-in I825 the Road Laws were reduced into one act-itn 1839 the duties ofOrdinary, Sheri', Clerk, Magistrate, Coro ner and Constable, were condensed into suita ble as-the Patrol act was passed at the same session; and in 1940 anodser specimen of simi lar legislation occurred in the set to ascertain and define the powers, duties and liabilities or Masters, Commissioners and Registers in Equi ty. These examples can be safely imitated, and public expectation will be disappointed, uf the Legislature does not adopt some course to collect, arrange, reform and publish the Militia Laws of this State. Such an act will be of in calculable value; it will dissipate doubt, pre. veht litigation, establish the law, disseminate information, strengthen the State, and while producsing unanimnity and harmony at home, it will reflect respectability ir not renown upon us, frmarod Let the work he begun with a ainere desire to its completion, and it will ever find friend,. ready so help in so useful an undertaking: to efiet this, a Military Bill; ough;t to he broughti before the Legislature at the beginning or the ssion, upon which the minds of the members can be concentrated; and there is no doubt but such an act can be framed and adopted, thatr will reduce the Militia Law to simplicity and i system. instead of permitting is to remain in a condition in which it will soon become a mock ery to its enemies, and a mortification to its friends.

Our city was throwr: into great excite neat last night. It originated from a quar- 0 ,el that took place Thursday night, on Co- ( ombia street, between a few negroes and t1 whites, in which one of the latter, was e itabbed and cut awfully, so that it is - thought he cannot live. In consequence of :f this..two or three thousaedn persous col lected around the houses of the negroes on Sixth street. Eas: of Broadway. The , negroes, apprehensive of an affray, had i armed themselves with muskets, and fired ii upon the crowd. The Mayor informs us, g he thinks two whites and two negroes are f killed, and about 15 to 20 wouuded, most- f ly whites. During the afrray, a cannon was brought I up, loaded with- slug-g, and fired down r Sixth Street two or three times, raking a the streets, but with what effect is not yet c known. The Mayor. who was on the r ground all night, called out two military companies. the Gravs and Guardia, and I both squares from Pifth to Seventh, are guarded by. and undercontrolof the mili ary and a large body ofarmed volunteers, he negroes being all confined to their houses. No destruction of property ofconsequence has taken place. The city is still in great excitemont ; and a special neeting of the Council is to be held at 10 o'clock this morning. when srong measures uill undouhtedly be take to preserve the peace of the city.

During is few irst days of the meeting, there r rre no prospe,:ts peculiarly flattering. ly the middle of the ensuing week, how ier, the congregation was characterised t y deep solemnity, and it very marked at mion to the exercises of the occasion. videnecs were afforded ou every hand of eep and pungent conviction of min, and iany were anxiously enquiring, "what ball I do to be saved?" Persons of all t ges and classes, evinced a desire to parti- j ipate in the offered blessings of the gospel, g nd very many were enabled to throw I iemselves cofidentlyon the promises of io blessed Saviour, and yield obedience to is haly commandments. There were dded to the Church, as the fruits of the teeting, about 64 or 65 souls, such as we ope will be saved. Four of this number -ere baptised at an early stage of the t teetinzt but last Sabbath was truly the i great day of the feast."

This institution is now inder protest for nearly Il4,000.,baving refused o redeem her notes in specie. The Bank has een notiied by the Comptroller of the State to say the debt or suffer the consequence of the aw; but it is faid that the President and Direc ors are endeavoring to procure a Bill of In unction against the Compti oller, on the ground bat the bolder of the pIrtested notes is a Bro er. We are of opinion, however, tlIst when rought before the pruper tribunal, it will be onsidered a matter of very little consequence y the Judge, whether those notes are in the ands of a Broker or a Preacher. We would, herefore, advise the Bank to pay up the protest. n specie, or its equivalent. which it will un loubtedly do, should the refusal to grant an In unction be given. If on the other hand they hould refuse to meet the debt, and fail to get a lill of Injunction, their bonds and mortgages vill, after an allowance of sixty days grace, be old at pubJe auction, and the Company wound up. We have. however, no idea that they will mnit to such a proceedure, and entertain no louht but that a satisfactory adjustment will be nade,and that the Institution will again assume ier former position nmong the list of other spe ie paying Banks.
