The bill proposed to establish a pen.
SION agency at Montpelier, the seat Of
government of Vermont for the pay.
ment of pensioners residing in the coun.
tles OF Washington, Orange, Caledonia
orleans, Essex, and Lam0ille, counties
lying north of or adjacent to Montpelier.
No one looking TO the geography OF the
State, no one casting his eye upon the
map. could hesitate for moment TO say,
without regard to any other considera.
tons, that Montpelier, of all places in the
State, was the most suitable and proper
one for pension agency. 1t was cen.
trail IN its position, of easy access from all
parts of the State. and especially from
the severalcounties named in the bill.
The State was from forty to fifty miles
wide at its southern extremity, gradually
widening in extent until il became more
than a hundred miles ia width on Its north.
ern frontier. There was an agency estab.
iished on the extreme western limits, and
also one on the extreme eastern1;mits, the
latter being within sixty miles of the south
line Of the State. Many pensioners in
the counties mentioned in the bill were
obliged to go from seventy to a hundred
miles, and some a hundred aud thirty OIL
forty miles, TO get to either of these agen
cles. This was not only great incon.
yenience to the pensioners, but occasioned
an expense and charge to them to which
they ought not to be subject IF the agen
cy provided by the bill should be estab
lished. this Inconvenience would be re-
moved, and the expense now incurred in
a great measure avoided. Montpelier. as
already observed, was the seat of govern.
ment. The Legislature convened there
earl v in October, soon after one of the
semi-annual instruments TO pensioners be-
came due and as each town in the State
sent representative, pensioners might
send and get their money without expense
or Inconvenience.
It was true, as had been stated by the
Senator from New Hampshire, (Mr. Hub
bard, that the Secretary of War had, BY
law, power to establish as many agencies
as he in bis discretion might think prop.
er, and that application might be made te
him., But it was also true. as the Sena.
tor well knew, that the Secretary hac
adopted as rule of his Department, in
order to rid himself of troublesome and
vexatious opportunities, to establish but
two agencies in any, one Slate; leaving
it to the discretion of Congress to estab.
Iish more or not 1t would be in vain
therefore. to apply to the War Depart.
ment, as two agencies already existed if
Vermont. Mr.. p believed that the add
tional agency would be. great conven'
fence and benefit to the pensioners resid
ing in the northern part of the State, and
he hoped the bill would pass.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

. ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURES.
The Legislature of this State closed its
session of one hundred and seven days, al
IL o'clock on Wednesday night, The
Albany Evening Journal gives the follow.
ing summary view of the results of this
important session.--N. Y Spec.
This has been laborious and eventful
session. On no former occasion have we
witnessed, on the part of members, so
much Of diligence and industry. No
former House Of Assembly has been so
many honrs in session. Eeff6R last four
weeks, the House has 80 i,6@. Ind for

Safe. a new impulse has been given to
the cause of internal impfovement-an
impulse quickened and invigorated by the
triumphant report of MIR. RuggIes. The
speedy enlareeme Of the Erie Canal is
authorized, for which purpose 100000
is appropriated. The construction Of the
New York and Erie Railroad is ensnr.
ed--a loan of S3,0OO,OOO having been
made to the company. The State, by lib
erai loans tolhe Catsleill aud Canaioharre
the Auburn and Syracuse, and the Jthica
and Owego Railroads, has also ensured
the completion Of those works. These ap-
preparations and loans, for works of i'm
provement, amount in the aggregate to
.S7,750.000. The Legislature has also
authorized the survey of several canal and
rail road routes. -. RI
The bill authorizing associations for
Banking has become law. The law
gives freedom to banking and destroys a
monopoly which had become too onerous
to be tolerated. -. 49,
