ott, of Fauquier, proposed as a substitute "That the present Constitution of this Commonwealth ought to be amended, and it is expedient that this Convention should submit amendments thereto for the ratification or the rejection of the people." Some debate ensued, in which the disposition of members to make long-winded speeches was freely commented on, when the previous question was called, and Mr. Scott's substitute adopted by a vote of 55 to 26. The Governor communicated the resignation of John Echols, the member from Monroe, now serving in the army, and called attention to the additional fact of a vacancy in the Provisional Congress, in consequence of the acceptance of a foreign mission by Mr. James M. Mason. Mr. Macfarland succeeded in introducing the memorial of the City Council of Richmond, on the subject of legalizing the issue of corporation notes, though some objection was made on the ground that such business belonged to the Legislature. The memorial was referred.

Capture of Messrs. Sildell and Masen. The extraordinary news reached the city yesterday, that Messrs. Sildell and Mason. with their Secretaries, had been brought into Hampton Roads by a Federal war vessel, and delivered to the custody of General Wool, at Fortress Monroe. The fact was communicated by Gen. Wool, under a flag of truce, to Gen. Huger, and by the latter dispatched to Secretary Benjamin. It is said that the arrested commissioners will, by permission of Gen. Wool, send a dispeceive from the British Government. The deck of a British vessel is as sacred as British soil. To board a British vessel forcibly and carry off persons, is as great an insult to British sovereignty, as to send armed men to London and to capture ambassadors assembled amid her Court. It is in this aspect of the case that the capture of Messrs.. Mason and Slidell assumes importance. The British Captain. protested against the whole proceeding, and will doubtless report it to his Government.

all be true that the Examiner charges, tries to beguile it with jolly living. In the centre of the square is the beautiful equestrian statue of Washington, looking as calm and serene and commanding as if the city which he overlooks was not the centre and hotbed of the foulest treason that ever showed itself in the light of day. The pedestal is designed for eight other statues of distinguished Virginians, but three of which have yet been put in their places. These are Jefferson, Henry, and Mason — not the arrogant, self-conceited blockhead who recently represented the State in the Senate at Washington, and has now gone seeking recognition at London, as the diplomatic representative of secessiondom, but a far purer, wiser, and more patriotic namesake of his. Here also is small statue of Henry Clay. The Union prisoners of war. Richmond has really but one business the roughfare. That is Main street. Most of the hotels, banks, newspaper offices and stores are located on it. It
