RicuNoSp, MAReu 4.
The business Of the past week was princi-
pally made up Of a vast quantity OF local
matter, OF very little interest to readers gen
orally; though n few important bills were
Pa,sed. Among these q bill allowing the
Board Of Public Works to borrow money for
the first and second instalments to the Win
chester Rail Road Company. and the Ports
mouth Rail Road Company, st . rate Of inter-
est not exceeding sir per cent. Q bill au-
thorizing revision Of The Criminal Code by
a competent board OF jurists . bill TO sup
ply the loss Of original papers In certain ca
scs; aud bill declaring the mode in which
defendants in rcplevin shall make avowriss,
&c.
The hill to provide for the opening and re-
pair Of public roads, was debated, and reject
cd, by vote Of IS 70 So. % was re-consid-
cred, on Wednesday, further debated, and
again rejected, 81 to 81. The house to-day,
ordered 500 copies Of Il to be printed, for the
examination Of the people, with view TO q
better understanding Of their wishes BY the
next session.
A bill has passed both houses, establishing
new bank at Wheeling and bills have been
rejected, for establishing a bank ut Stanton,
and q branch Of one Of the Virginia banks at
Buch anan, in Botetourt county.
The Harpers Ferry bank bill will be tested
on Monday.
A spirited debate took place on Monday,
upon q motion to ereiude from the Journal OF
the house, the replies Of six members Of Con-
gress TO the letter Of the Governor, transmit
ting the resolutions Of the Legislature. Mr..
Stevensonis letter was considered by several
members, as insulting to the Legislature
Mr.. Gilmrr moved their. exclusion. because
he thought Che Eskaiaitis hsd asssss
make request OF the members Of the n. Of r.;
but the right TO instruef our Senators was un-
doubted. He did not wish 10 establish bad
precedent
Mr.. Rosne, OF Hanover, wished the letters
upon the journal, that the people might know
where to find them In IN official shape, and
because some Of them contained as be thought,
avery just rcbuke upon the Governor, for trans
cending his Official duty, by the expression OF
any opinion or wish Of hisown. Mr.. Gregory,
Mr.. Niche, and Mr.. Jones Of Elizabeth City,
dealt in severe and pointed censure upon what
they considered n specimen Of servility to, and
vile adulation Of, the source OF power; Mr..
Gregory thinking MIR. stevcnsons letter ought
to be thrown under the table; while Mr.. Nj
chic and Mr.. Jones wished il recorded where
il might remain as an undying monument Of
the degrading spirii Of man-srOrship, which ac-
tuated its author. The letters were entered
on the Journal.
The house this day resolved, (if the Senate
concur) TO adjourn nine die on Tuesday next.
From the amount Of business on hand, the ad-
journmen, is BY no means certain butI think
the session will not, in any event, be extend
ed beyond Thursday evening.
