SENArE.-Mr Hoppn remarked, that
there was u petition from the town Of Bris-
tol, for liberty to subscribe to the stock Oi
The Providence aud Bristol Railroad, and
nn acf accompanying the same, already
granted OF the part OF the House, was now
in the hands Of the committee OIL the judic-
iary, and NOT reported upon and desired
that The matter might be presented To the
Senate.
Mr. Ballou, from the committee on the
judiciary, said that the committee were,
after .he first hearing, undecided upon the
proper course to pursue, hut he would
move that the committee be discharged, +,
and the subject brOugh, hafore the Senate.
Mr. Hoppin, then, in continuation, said
thar q delay IN this matter would he equiv
acnt 20 defeat, as The limitation for the
whole amount of stock expired on the lst
of July, and private enterprise having fail
ed to raise the requisite sum, the depcn-
dencc Of the friends of the road, including
the town o. Bristol through majority Of
lis legal voters, vas now upon the granting
The payer Of the petition.
Mr. Diuinn opposed at length The policy
ot The proposed procedure, as bad in pre-
eedent, and probably runous in result, and
earnestly hoped that the Senate would not
concur in the vole Of The House on the
subject. He would move that the Senate
non concur.
Mr. Ballou said, that rs the matter now
stood 2e should he compelled to vote n
gainsi it. The case Mas different as tar rs
the town of Bristol was concerned, from n
similar application from the city of Provi-
dence. Ia the latter case the city Of Prov
iience was doubly sec6red, while it did
not appear that the town Of Bristol had
any advantage over private subscriber.
He regretted that the petitioners could not
have an opportunity of being further heard,
without its being followed by asdefeat Of
;he whole project.
Mr. Collins believed tho proposition 10
he radically wrong in principle, and, in his
opinion, il had too direct II tendency to-
ward the doctrines of Socialism.
Mr. Hoppin moved that MIR Blake, who
was present, as citizen from Bristol ,have
the privilege ot presenting to the Senate
his views OF the state Of feeling in the town
on the subject.
Mr. Blake accordingly rose and addressed
the Senate in long aud earnest appeal in
favor Of the petition, aud was followed by
Mr. w. H. Potter, who reviewed the argu-
ments Of Mr. Blake, and addressed the SEN
ate in hehalf Of the remonstrants.
Mr. Ames closed for the petitioners.
The nyes and nays were called on the
vote OF concurrence. Lost, ayes 6, noes

o. The General Assembly adjourned on
Saturday To meet at Bristol on the las,
Monday Of October, according to law.
