From the additional returns expected from the county
OF Boctourt, there is good ground estimate that the
residue would be reduced below 500 shares; which, with
any probable amount of Withdrawals by individual sub
sctbers IN the city, under the provisions of tie proposed
m must be made up by supplemental subscription,
IN order TO consummae the object of securing the char

Nr johnson OF r. said, in order that there might be
no necessity for curailng the debate on the bin lust
id on the table, he rose to for leave bring in
bill further to extend the time for keeping omen the
DOCKS OF subscription OF the James River and Kanawha
company 1t was evident, from the course which the
debate on the bill to authorize the corporation of Rich
nond TO subscribe TO the stock had taken that the con-
sidcration of that bill could be completed within the
time TO which the charter was now limited He there
fore hoped the time would be further extended TO the Ist
OF feoruary. which he presumed would give ample time
for delberation.
Mr. Gregory doomed necessary for him to saw that he
should oppose the leave asked At former period
he had opposed the extension Of the time the 18th inst
because he had confidence in the stock being made
up II the time granted and the longer this subject
was delayed the longer debate would be protraccd so
that 1T would be impossible for the Legislature TO adjourn
at moderately early period. Ii the bill now before the
House whould fail and the charter be forfeited some
other scheme could be devised the Legislature would
be involved in debate upon it an indefinite point of
time The present scheme is about to fail BE had no

bate upon this question seemed to him idle for he had
no doubt the bill 10 extend the corporation sui,scrntio
Woua De lost although newspaper in this city had ex-
pressed decided opinion that the bill would pass in this
House lie saw no utility in this constant delay after
