From lliu slate Legislature we have nothing important. The B ink question has given rise to an nnimntcl debate, said to dcvclopo some symptoms of the Anti-Bank mania, so rife in some parts d£the country. *Vo haVo no apprehension hujvovir of destructive legislation.

It appears thnt the election for members of Congroosin New Jersey is by general tickut, and that in counting the vales, those given in two precincts were excluded, on uccounl of illegality in holding the elect on*. The proper oHirers mndo their returns to the Governor, without any notice of these precincts. The Governor issued his proclamation announcing the election of the rsons who had received the greatest number of Votes according to tint returns made to hint by tho legal officers, and cave then c«t ifieotes in the usual form. Those were (he Whig cund.dates. But it is ullogcd tlu>t if tlie r> j'-cied votes luid been counted the Van Buren candidates would hare been elected, and these latter have also corns forward to claim their seutH.

To this suggestion it may beaa objected, that the drift sand will form anotherfcd shoal, and we admit, that it will either done thitf, or, bjriseuling upoo ihe present shoals,ir- elevate them into islands. Which we con.er ««five to be a matter ofwo irhpottanco, for8, thteldiift will not be deposited any where, tilly, it shall have ceased to feel the impetus whichof removed it from the bar ; ao that, whelwr

a hew altoal be formed, or an old one frhns.ir. formed into an Island, is a matter of no inops.moot, there being necessarily a deep, endle spacWvy channel between, either, and theIt. Bar. Another g'cutadvautuge ofour proraposhfoo is that tbeiyork once done, it willip never require repair; These are crudeK- ideas, but we venture nevertheless, to ask»f for them the calm consideration, which the
