Important Railroad Matter.


 Union ofInterests Between the Consolf-
 dated and Canal Railroads.
 We learn from prominent sources that a union of interests which has been specially desired for few weeks past between the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road and the New Haven and Northampton railroad. and arrangements for which have been quietly going on for number of days past, has been consummated, prominent stockholders and friends of the Consolidated road having secured enough of the stock of the Canal road to give them a controlling in terest in the latter road. The causes which have led to this consum- nation are familiar to railroad and financial men. The movement was given force by part of the New York Central road interest, which Mir. Vanderbilt controls, over the out let to New England of 50 large quantity of western freight over the New York road (by transfer from the Pennsylvania road to liar lem river) instead of it's coming by the Central road and it's feeders from the West. The move ment also arose from the attitude of the Bos ton and Albany railroad with regard to the through travel via the Consolidated road and the rumors of consolidation of interests with the Vanderbilt interests for new Par allel railroad scheme, as part of new ar rangement for through travel The union of stockholding interests between the New York and Canal railroads has, we learn, progressed SO far as to be an accomplished fact.

 Yeass...- ...-...-..--.'.-.......-.1
 The motion for indefinite postponement was carried
 At 12:4O the special order, being on the bill for the establishment of State commits sion for the designation of oyster grounds, was called for by MT. Mitchell of New Britain The measure was discussed by Mir. Chap man. of Manchester. who advocated its pass age. He thought the oyster lands should be used for the benefit of the State, instead of the forfeit and benefit exclusively of the twenty three coast towns.
 Mir. Merriman, of Milford, introduced an amendment, validating and confirming pres ent designations of oyster, clam and mussel grounds; adopted
 MT. Harrison submitted an amendment, in- cooperating in the majority bill the sections of the minority bill relating to the town of Orange and preserving the present special act in reference to that town adopted.
 Mr. Reagan, of Branford, was opposed to validating grounds taken up by parties along the coast
 Mr. Gum, of Milford, explained that all grounds taken within town jurisdictions have been validated. But he thought that grounds which have been taken up in good faith out in the deep waters. the towns having re- ceived compensation for them, should also be validated.
 MT. Mitchell held that the various amend nlents leave the principle of the bill intact, which is that the State shall have control of the oyster domain.
 At this point of the discussion the majority bill as amended was, on motion of MT. De- Forest, laid upon the table for the purpose of considering the minority bill, the vote standing S1 to 46.
 MT. Northrop, of Middletown considered the minority bill with it's amendments tinker ing with the law.
 MT. Hall, of Windham took the floor against the minority bill. He held that the State was not ready to surrender it's jurisdiction over the oyster domain to the towns along the coast All that the State is to receive is one-haf of the slight tax which may be laid on the designated grounds. The members of the House were not sent here to do thing of this kind. The majority bill commanded his support. He did not want to see the State surrender it's jurisdiction. If it was important enough to have a commissioner appointed for determining the boundary lines it is important enough to hold and ex- ercise jurisdiction.
 The discussion was continued without in termission until 3:30 o'clock, when vote was taken and the bill passed.
 A recess was then taken for 8 half hour, when business was again proceeded with.
 The bill providing for an official survey of the State was discussed at length, and a mo- ton to continue it to the next General As sembly was passed.
