UNFORTUNATE RESULT.

|
The bill for Matchmaking the S,ann-
ton and James river turnpike was IN
der discussion into the house OF Dele
! gates, on Saturday. The bill author
ized The company to Increase their cap.
itaI stock by the additional sum of
IT'S 600 dolinis. to be raised by sub
scripiion, in shaIesof 25 dollars each;
and provided that when ,hs,e fiiihs Of
the Whole number, OF shares shall ha, E
been subscribed by individuals, the
board of public works shall subscribe
on behalf ofthe State for The remaining
two fl,hs; and authorizing the board
10 borrow, on the credit of the State,
not exceeding IS, GOO dollars per an :
nun, and not exceeding in all $40,
COO, for the purpose of paying the
States subscription. On the passage
of the bill, most animated debate
sprung up. The bill was opposed by
Mr.. Daniel, of Prince George, Mr..
Yeroy, and Mr.. Shepard, and WAS
warmly sustained by Mrssrs. BroaIus.
Southall, Bocock, and Cooke. The
bill was advocated upon the ground
that already the road yielded dividend
in its present condition Of a mere mud
turnpike, totally impossible for at least
four months in the year; aad that il
would be a profitable investment, il
McAdamized, and made so as TO ac-
commoda'e the great amount of trade
ard travel that pass over it; and upon
the additional ground that it would be
a feeder of great importance to the
James river and Kanawha canal, and
would bring much of the trade now
diverted 10 Baltimore TO Richmond. =
The bill was rejected by ayes and noes
81 to So. as.@ ~
The southwesternroadw was next I'M
der consideraiion;and the question was
taken on its passage, without further
debate; and the bill was rejected BY
ayes and noes--59 TO Ga.
We cannot conceal our surprise and
regret al the failure of these two highly
beneficial measures. The first was re-
commended on mos! important grounds
some few of which are explained n
bove. The completion of the Scots.
vile road would have essentially in
creased the business Of the James river
canal, in which The State has so deep
an interest.
The defeat Of the Southwest road as
tonislied It's opponents and mortified
It's friends. 'Ibe latter fought mos,
manfully, and when on tie eve Of Vie
tory, were destined to cruel deieat.-I
The bill had been so modified, as, in
The opinion Of lis friends, 10 suit all
the advocates Of internal improvements;
but, strange 10 say, the delegates from
Campbell :nd Bedford opposed and
defeated the bill. because The Salem
turnpike was not embraced Though
the Southwest road would eminent,
benefit their section Of county, and
greatly improve The business of The
canal. The bill did no, propose any in
crease Of taxation, or pledge the faith
ofthe State for a single dollar. II only
appropriated The sum Of seventy FIVE
thousand dollars, the ne; surplus Of The
treasury. The people the SOU Invest
impera,ivcly require this road, Isl
necessary 10 ,lniie and harlnonize the
East and West; and We deeply regret
that It should have been lost, when suc-
cess was almost in sight.

DEAR Ri attended the examination o

Iea right, not only as an act If justice to III,

high appreciation Of the merits Of the pupils
that some public notice should lie given, Of III,
peculiar qualification manifested by those VIII,
witnessed the examination.
The pupils, without distinction, acquitted
themselves with great credit, exhibiting a pro
fciency IN their studies rarely attained at thei
ages.
Those engaged in the study Of the classics
read, analysed and translated with great facil
lty and accuracy, the languages in The study Of
which they are engaged, and their self conera,
ulating csuntenances seemed to say with Cicere
Of old, ''Jucundi act labores."
ss9 The Mathematical class performed upon the
black board many interesting solutions and de-
mons'raiinns ofdiflicut and abstruse problems,
and their rapid calculations by Algebra, gave
evidence Of their familiarity with the science
and Of its great utility.

The exercises of the evening were concluded

may be applied; and take this opportunity to
express the gratitude ofthe citizens and pupils
for the generosity Of Messrs. Foihush and al
len, In uniting their curious instructions and
astonishing experiments with the exercises Of
the evening.
The New Market Academy is still under
the care Of Mr.. Joseph Salyards-a gentleman
whose crudition, and successful experience in
teaching, has gotten for him fame which
needs no eulogy from my humble pen.-assisted

Of considerable promise, and well qualified to
