General Assembly.

The Assembly did not form quorum un-
til Tuesday afternoon, and then were in Sea-
sion but about an hour, doing no business OF
any consequence. Yesterday, the time was
principally occupied in the presentation of
various petitions. which were received and
referred to their appropriate committees.
In the SENATE, yesterday, Mr.. Randolph
presented petition from Sullivan Dorr, the
father of Thomas w. Dorr. asking the Leg
islalure if they did not see fit to pardon his
son, to commute his punishment by imprson-
ment in the Newport County Jail instead Of
the State Prison at Providence. Mr.. Ran
dolph did not say any thing in favor of the
petition, as he had understood the prisoner
was not desIrous that any petition should be
presented in his behalf. The petition was
thereupon laid on the table, without debate.
Mr. Ballou called up the petition IN the after
noon, for the purpose merely of stating, that
Mr.. Don knew nothing Of any petition tc
the Legislature in his fsvor, nor would he
unite in any that nigh be presented.

upon which he rose and addressed the
Cour, for about quarter Of an hour, ex-
pressing, among other things, that he
had not, in his opinion, received fair
trial by an impartial jury, and that the
trial altogether had been nothing more
than a "solemn ceremony" arising from
I"vindictive party feelings and political
rancor"
The Chief Justice replied TO him in
digniied and mild manner, that the
Court were not aware that they had al
lowed themselves to be inauepced by
any of the motives charged upon them by
the prisoner-that they had endeavored
to discharge their duty faithfully and i'm
