If priority is given to.to one half the canal

half is deferred stock-then, if the canal
revenues should be just equal TO the interest
on the whole canal debt, the revenues will
pay off the preferred stock, principal and
interests, in IA is years--the deferred in.

in all, ID 3-5 years, for the discharge of the

Three important questions, connected with the internal no.
hey OF the State, were decided by that body, and now await
the action of the Senate.
First, the bill appropriating 81 ,236. 900, in sem,-,nnu,l
instalments, to The extension OF the James River and h,
nawha Canal, passed, by a vote OF CO to 81. This sum. il
is estimated. will carry the work to Buchanan.
Secondly, the bill increasing the capital stock of the
stanton and Scottsville Turnpike Company, to enable ITO
Macadamize its road between those two points, which was
rejected a few days ago, by a tie vote, passed-aye 81, noes
So.
Thirdly, the bill incorporating a company to construct a

opened, and will doubtless hereafter receive the favorable
action OF the Legislature.
