Richmond Enquirer

Trenton October 28.-The Legislature met in this city on Tuesday last.

In Council, Jesse Upson, esq was reappointed Vice President, and James Linn, Esq. Secretary.

In the Assembly, David Thompson, Jun, esq. was re-elected Speaker, and Daniel Coleman, esq Clerk.

On Friday, the two houses went into Joint Meeting when Governor Williamson was re-elected, and other appointments made, which will be found in a preceding column.

It will be seen in the account of the Proceedings of the Legislature, which will be found on the opposite page, that the House have decided, almost unanimously, against an adjourned sitting: and an opinion prevails that the present sitting will not extend more than two weeks longer.

Mr Pennington offered the following preamble and resolution:

Whereas from causes not within our control, the agricultural, manufacturing and commercial interests of the country have undergone within these two years past a serious depression-Few have been exempt from its embarrassing effects. This branch of the government, upon whom devolves more immediately the pecuniary concerns of the state, have it in view to limit the annual state expenditures-that a due regard be had to the scarcity and value of our currency-that the existing pressure of the times be more equal in its operation.

Resolved, That a committee be appointed whose duty it shall be to examine as to the expediency or inexpediency of an adjourned sitting, the reduction of wages and diminishing of salaries, and such other measures as will tend to a retrenchment in the financial expenditures of the State-and report by bill or otherwise.

Read, agreed to, and Messrs. Pennington, Newbold and J. Kline accordingly appointed.
