PUBLIC LANDS.
Our readers will recollect that the Bill which originated in the Senate of the United States, reducing the price of public lands to 1 50 cts. per acre, and stopping credits to purchasers after February 1820, was mentioned in the last Gazerre as having been sent down to the House of Representatives for concurrence. Our anticipations and wishes on that subject were realized at the heel of the session by the refusal of the House to concur with the Senate. Consequently lands will continue to be disposed of on the same terms as heretofore.
