VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

The most Interesting subjects which
have recently engaged the deliberations of
the Virginia Legislature, have been a
question on the charters Of the Banks of
Virginia of the Valley, and the North
Western Bank, arising on petition of
OF these Institutions praying for renew
al OF their Charters; and on proposition
to relieve the securities Of John Preston
from the payment Of the last instalment of
the debt, amounting, says the Enquirer.
to some where about $4,000. When the
report on the former of these subjects was
brought forward, an indefinite postpone
ment OF 1t was moved by Mr.. Gilmer. one
oil the representatives from this County:
winch motion "was supported" SAYS the
Constitutional Wing, "by Mr.. GiImer In
a very handsome speech" Without. in
any respect, deciding on the merits Of the
application, we should have been gratifed
Ut the motion had prevailed. This is the
last Legislature which will meet under tho
present Constitution. That which is to.
succeed ii will certainly represent more
adequately and equally, the sentiments Of
The people and the members being Sc.
lected by them with view to the ardu-
Gus duties os organizing the government
under the new Constitution, may be fairly
presumed TO bring greater quantum oftal-
ent to Whatever service maybe before them.
There VIII be moreover, ample time for a.
renewal Of these charters, if in the opinion
Of the next Legislature the public good
should require it, In addition to these con-
siderations it is on every account desira-
bic. that the present session should he
made as short as possible. But, under
present circumstances, there seems to be
little hope Of short Session,
The relief o! tie securities Of Preston
prevailed by vote of five majority, and
