hing, we should be tempted to lessen the
quantity of Naval Stores deposited here, by
at least enough to furnish him with close
fitting coat.
We are glad to find that our people are be-
ginning to come to their senses. The Stock
of the city has recently advanced from SOS to
$50, at which latter price sales have been
made; but there is no good reason why it
should not command par, or premium
Our Councils are not extravaganza; the mem
bers of the Finance Committee are all intel
legent business men, identified with the in
terest of the City-most Of them large hol-
ders OF Real Estate, and also of her Stock,
and, although the City has been temporarily
embarrassed by small but troublesome
floating debt which has been accommodating
for some years past, means have been adop-
ted to fund that debt, and she can then go on
easily, and promptly meet all her demands.
We omitted to state in the proper place,
that sinking fund of one per cent on the
whole stock debt is required to be set aside
every year, for the payment of scrip falling
due during that year, thus aHording en- ad-
ditional security to the Stockholder-We
may refer to this matter again.

the paramount interest of the State, entitled
to its earliest and most earnest consideration.
That such means should be taken as shall IN
SHre its earliest possible completion-that in
this view the State should either take it up
as State work or give her interest 20 co1n-
pany, and such only as can deposit with the
Comptroller such sum, to be forfeited in case
Of failure, as would insure its completion at
the earliest possible moment.
Resolved, That we earnestly request the

and House Of Delegates, to press resolution
similar to the foregoing on the attention of
the Assembly Of the State, and to use their
utmost exertions to effect its passage.

Rsszs We find, in the Ri chmond I

Beg" We find, in the Ri chmond Dis
pa@ch Of Thursday, an account Of the
meeting Of the members of the Bristol
Convention of last year, holden at Me-
tropolitan Hall in Richmond, on We'd
neslay night. The Convention was
opened by Hon. F. Mallory Of Norfolk
who was followed by Hon. VIM. Ballard
Preston Mr.. Preston narrated The va
rious difficulties he had encountered in
the prosecution Of his mission, and the
fortunate circumstances which contribu-
ted to final and complete success in the
execution Of his trust. The Dispatch
says:
The contract made by Mr.. Preston with
the Orleans Railroad Company is as follows:
Number of ships not less than four, the ton
mage not to be less than the Arago; the num-
Der Of trips not less than "a per annum. The
capital stock to be So, 000, coo. The iirec-
tors are to be the first year four French and
three American, and the next year rice cersa.
The subvention is to SIPS per trip Two
ships to be built in Virginia and two other
in France-to bear the flags of the land ON
which they are built
I'VE observe a considerable disparity
in reference to the amount of capital
stock decided upon. In the extract we
make from the article Of the Dispatch,
the capital is stated to be three million
dollars, while in another place, Mr. Pres
ton is represented as having proposed to
the Orleans Railroad Company that they
should advance half the capital, and we
the other half and it is said, "They rea-
Oily said they would furnish the $780,
900 francs How is it?
Resolutions of thanks to Mr.. Preston,
and to Governor Wise, Hon. John Y.
Mason and President Buchanan for their
aid to that gentleman, were adopted; al
so a resolution appointing a committee
of five to memoralize the Legislature of
Virginia for charter for line of stea-
ners from Norfolk to St. Nazaire, in
France, and one appointing a committee
to memorabilia Congress for mail con-
tracts.
