 One would suppose, from the amount of business disposed of in ths Eyo houses to-day, that the session would be brought t9 an end at an early day, say the 20th of March Taus far there have been but few bills to excite lengthy debates, although there are in the House number of gentlemen who seem disposed to talk on almost every measure that comes up, be it important or otherwise They have no doubt the best interests of the State at heart, but if they would reserve their oratorical efforts feF more important subjects yet to come the bpsiaass would move forward even more rapidly than aE present. Later in the session, however, per- haps the five or ten minutes rule will be adopted and then business will proceed more rapidly still.
