Pieaseni5f.it in your Journal the fol

lowing proceedings of the House of Re

preventatives on the 10th ult, in relation to exempting preachers of the rjosptl from paying ferriage, and oblige A SUBSCRIBER. The House resolved itsell into a com mittec of the whole on the bill to cstablisn and regulate terrries; and alter some time spent therein, the speaker resumed the chair, and M Lane repcrted the same with several amendments, which were read and concurred in except the last, which was by adding to the sixth section for exempting certain persons and property from being charged with ferriage, the following, to wit: "And all preachers of the gospel, re gularly ordained preachers of any religious society, while passing to or from in discharge of the duties of their respective missions." And the question being put on concurring therein, Mr. Owen9 rose and observed, that however much he may be disposed to grant to the clergy of our country all the privileges that could or should be granted to any class of citizens, he could see no good reason why the clergy should be authorized by law, to command at pleasure the services of any cIjss of men in our country, without rendci fog a just compensation thetclor. lit had always understood that the tight ol contributing or not to the support cf the clergy of any denomination, was a matter resting entirely in the discretion of the peion, and for his part he could see no difference between taxing the ferryman in the manner proposed by the bill, or compel, ling the citizens generally to pay their contribution m money. To legi-dation of this sort be was decidedly opposed, but may be induced to change his opinion if the gentleman who moved the amendment ;a committee of the whole,

or any other member would favor the House with the reasons which influenced him in asking for the passage of so unprecedented a provision in the statute of the State, for the exclusive benefit et the preacher, and at the sole expense of the poor ferryman.

We understand, that a letter has been just received fiom London, stating that Mr. Randolph's health was improved and that he should return to St Petersburg in the spring. We also understand, a letter has been received from the county of Charlotte stating that a particular friend of Mr Randolph was

at the last court of that county, and remarked to the writer, that he had received a shot t time since a letter lrcm Mr. R. desiring him to announce him (Mr. R ) as a candidate for Congress thai it would not be in his power to attend the elections in the spiing, but that he wtuld return to the United Sates, in time to take his place in Congres, in case of his election. There can. indeed, be r.o doubt of the fact as another letter ha btcn received in this city from the friend of Mr. R who states his public annurciation at the last Charlotte Court, of Mr. R's being a candidate for Congress. the art of funning 4t Washington.
