Mr.. Galpin stated many important facts relating TO
the subject OF which nave TIME u give Ony IeW
The application for Banking Capital in this ci.y comes
with very strong claims. The population Of New Ha-
ven has nearly doubled in 20 years. The Banking
capital IN the town 70 years ago was SioOoOs AZ
ufaetures in the city is 81 500 OO0 and with the mpor-
tant manufactures IN the various Furnishing towns in
the couny-slerdeo, Waterbury, Wansio net &c.
the amount il probably much short Of 81 600 O0O
| Mr.. r.. Smith moved an amendment, by Inhciing
furher bonus Of 5000 TO be paid to the Hampshire
| Canal Co. @~
I a. Hov, messed IN anoeDd the amendment 80 az 10
require bonas Of 10 600 dollars instead Of 50O He
urged the fact that all the banks chartered this
sion, had paid bonus OF per cent
Mr.. Seslen thought that the people OF New Haven
had paid their iu-t snare Of bonuses. He would tnrn
the attention OF the house for moment TO the conse
qnences Of the large bonUs Of the last bank chartered
here The greatest part Of the capital had 30 be TAX
en- M in other places ;--in New Haven, there
few who could afford TO take up the stock with SO
I large bouus since they could expect that the
bank would pay any dividend for long time; that
the stock had literally gone begging through the streets
! The consequence was, that the City Bank had not
been able 10 afford facilities TO the mechanics and
manufacturers.
1 M. McCurdy rose TO reply the assertion Of the
gentleman from DanbuTy that rule has been adopt
ed respecting bonus. Last ssssiOn, seserat banks
| were chartered without bonus, though from
very large one was required.
/ Mr.. Hnngerford thought, Fixed rule could be n
d0pted the premium to be paid for banking priv
eges. Reference be hal TO the peculiar eircum-
! stances of each case. Tire city Of New-Haven had
literally burthened themselves already for the porpos
oil the Stale. No fixed rule hal ever been adopted.

gentlemen, that banking capital was not wanted.
BY the statements Of the gentleman from Lichfeld,
the circulation Of the large banks in this city, was
much less than they were entitled 10 by the charters.
He spoke at great length against granting bonnses in
any caseweat on al great length against the Farm
l ingtOn Canal, sc.
Mr.. Hoyt had not changed his views the sul,iect
of banking capital and though, that i there was re-
ally great demand for banking capital in New Ha-
sen, they probably could afford TO pay large bonus.
The greater ihe seed Of bank the more the siock
would he worth. He had lIat any rule had
ever been adopted, except this session.
Mr.. II. Smith said if would hardly be in order to
reply to many Of the remarks Of the gentleman from
Grolon, relating the merits OF the case, but
the question before He replied, however, 10 one
remark Of the gentlsman from Groton, 10 the amount
Mr. Haley replied to Me-. T. Smith and Mr.. Dutiou
at great length.

need Of more banking cap.ta in ~ Haven, and from

er, i was subject Of much Importance Trfiag as
Il might appear to some, he considered q bill of more
importance to the people than all the bills Tor new
towns, new turnpike roass and backs, which had
come before the House. He sad that petition for

would shake the walls Of the House. He wished TO
