States which have lands for internal improve
ments according TO their representation in Congress-"
Mr.. SIMMONS had come TO the conclusion
that he ought towote for the bill; the principles OF
which he argued both on the grounds of consttu-
tionality and expedency.
Mr.. LANE Of Indiana, made personal expla-
nation, stating the reason why he yesterday with
held the name of his friend who had informed him
that a gentleman, now in this city, held claim
on six thousand acres of land, at the Lake Su-
peror terminus. Of the proposed railroad from St.
Pauls 10 Lake Superior. and that he had disposed
ofone-fourth of that claim in Washington. The rea-
son why he did not mention the name OF his inform
ant yesterday was he wished first 10 zee him on
the subject before he gave the information. He
caused note received from Captain j. Tilton, in
reply 10 the one from him. to be read 10 the fol-
lowing effect
II discover that I was mistaken in regard to
the location ofthe claim for the land. Il is situated
twenty miles from the terminus of the proposed
road also, in regard 10 the sale Of one-ourth of
the whole claim or other purchases TO be made by
gentleman now in this city. These are entirely
prospective and contingent on future events, as
the lands in the vicinity of the proposed terminus
at Lake hyperion, are now held by miner titles or
floats which will be either confirmed or annulled
when the land surveys extend over the region"
Mr.. LANE replied TO a remark OF Mr. BissELL,
made yesterday, that he suspected the time the
gentleman from Indiana desired TO give the infor-
nation uhe name of his informaDt) would be after
the bill shall have been defeated His friendship
for the gentleman (Mr. BIssELD was of no ordi-
nary character; il was cemented by encountcring
the same hardshps and sharing a common danger.
He could not now be induced to say anything of.
fensive to the gentleman. but he must be permit
ted TO say, without intending unkindness, that he
envied not the man who has the heart TO enter
tain, much less express, such suspicion Of gen.
tleman, and particularly ofa friend
Mr.. BISSELL replied that. at the time the re-
mark was made, ii produced an impression on the
House adverse TO The bill, and therefore he thought
it was but right for the friends of the measure TO
ask for the name of the gentleman's informant. II
did not appear that he (Mr b. was out of the
way; nevertheless, If the remark was hurtfn to
the gentleman, he was sorry he made it, for he
would not wound the feelings of any man. In
time of debate, every body knows how things go
in this House. He did not doubt the genteman's
intentions were honorable. and he had no DISPOSE
tion 10 say more on this subject.
After further proceedings. without acting finally
upon the BILL the committee rose,
And the House adjourned.

MAINE SHIP-BUILDING FOR THE EAR 1909.
We have been able TO procure statistics OF the
vessels built in the thirteen several districts IN
this State during the year 1858, with the ex-
ception of one district that of Kennebunk.
We publish all together, and the shipbuilders
of Maine may with pride revert to the exhibit
of their years operations. Never before has
the great industry of Maine shown such won
derful results. Leaving out the 95ths, and
calling the tonnage built in Kennebunk 5000
tons, lin 1851 it was 5000 tons,) we find the
amount built in 1853 to be I65, ,406, lone hun
dred and sirty-tiue thousand four hundred and
sir tons!) For the year ending June 30, 1852,
(the latest date to which the government statis-
tics have been published,) the State built
ll0,047 tons, which was larger than the build
of any previous year. So it will be seen that
the increase over the build Of any previous
year is $3.50 tons. The reader, though he
NAV be astonished to see the amount Of tons
built, will hardly be able to credit the estima-
ton of their value. It will be seen that most
of this tonnage is in ships A fair average for
double -decked vessels ready for sea is $50 per
ton. Much higher prices have been paid, but
it has been where the charter was to be con-
veyed with the vessel. But call the average
value of this tonnage $55, and we have as the
value of the product of this single branch Of our
industry, the sum of $9,Os7, $3.50, (nine millions
ninety-sepen thousand three hundred and thirty
dollars.)
The whole tonnage built in the United States
for the year ending June 80, 1852, was 35l ,493
tons. Of this amount there were 269 steamers,
and 267 sloops and canal.boats, not sea-going
tonnage, and comprising a large amount of the
tonnage built.
The following table will show the tonnage
built in the United States for the year indicated,
including steamers and tonnage not sea.going,
of which Maine builds comparatively none:
