for an act of incorporation for a college, re-
spectfully report, that in their opinion, the iii-
corporation and establishment of another col-
lege in this state, under the restrictions and
modifications prayed for, will, in no way, be
prejudicial to the great and important interests
of literature, in this state; but will, on the
contrary, have a manifest and powerful ten-
dency to promote them ; they therefore sub-
mit the accompanying bill, to carry into ef-
fect the object of the petitioners.
Per order, N. JOHNSON, Chair1iza.n.

fects in the present penitentiary system in this

the present situation of our State Prison, the

ations may be made with a view to improve

./Hay l6.—The bill to establish the ‘ Wash-
ington College,’ was read the second time.
On motion of Mr. J. P. Hall, the bill was a-
mended, so as to make it a resolve ofthe As-
sembly, with a View to avoid placing it on the
statute book. It was then laid on the table,
and the report of the committee was taken up.
Messrs. Ingersoll, Fairchild, J. P. Hall; Stan-
ton, N. Johnson, Faxon and Bolles, delivered
their sentiments in favor of the acceptance of
the report. They urged a variety ofconside'r-
atious, illustrating the advantages ofthe estab-
Jishtnent of another literary institution, foiind-
ed on just and liberal principles, from which
they apprehended no mischiefwhatever,either
to the great and important principles of sci-
ence aiid literattire, or to the true interests of
the State. Messrs. Pettibone, Griswold and
Welch, stated their objections to the report.
They entered into a brief exhibition of the
.impolicy of the measure it recommends, ex-
pressed fears that it might have an unfavora-
ble aud unfriendly influence on the present
eminently respectable seminary of the state,
that it would furnish precedents for like ap-
plications to a troublesome extent, and that it
might create demands for legislative aid, Sec
Report a'cccpted.—---"I‘he bill in form was
then called tip. A motion was made, to pre-
vent the location ofthe college in the town of
N. Haven, which was debated and negatived.
The bill was then passed by a large majority.
The bill regulating Courts, was read a sec-
ond time. Mr. N. Johnson explained the
views of the projectors ofthe bill; that it was
~ thought by many that the presentorganization
of the County Courts was objectionable, &z.c.
The principal object, however, was to prevent
the accumulation of the annual judicial ex-
pences,moi'e especially those accruing in crim-
inal cases &Lc. Mr. Faircliild moved to lay it
on the table.‘ He wished to offer one, embra-
cing many ofthe provisions ofthatjust read,
before a discussion took place. Mr. F. then
introduced a bill for an Act, constituting
Courts, and regulating the same. It proposes
to abolish the County Court, and to give the
Superior Court jurisdiction, in all cases. It
has several other important provisions. On
motion of Mr. F. this bill, together with that
before read, was referred to a select commit-
tee ofoue from a county. The bill respecting
imprisonment of females for debt, $z.c. was
read a third time. Mr. Miner urged, at con-
sitlerahle length, his objections to the princi-
ples contained in it, which he rnaintained to
be utterly repugnant to sound policy, &Lc.:
On motion of Mr. Tracy, who approved the
principle, but thought the bill imperfectly fra-
med, it was laid on the table.

the ensuing year,wlicn,onballot,Jame3 Thom,-
us, Esq.,was re-elected, be having 150 votes
out of 155. A bill regulating civil actions, was
laid in by Mr. Hill,whicli had been once read,
and was now read a set-mid time. Mr. H.
stated, that the object ofthe bill was to pro-
vide a remedy for an existing evil in the stat-
utes respecting the serving of writs of error.
' ‘hc bill concerning proniisory notes and bills
ofexcliange, enacting that protests shall be
considered prima facie evidence of the facts
tliereiu contained, was read the third time ;
and after some observations, postponed.
.‘l]ona’r/.y, .May 19,-A bill for a public act,
‘in {,1(lLlll.l0ll to an act, for forming and con-
ducting the military force,’ proposing to ex-
empt Friends aiid Shakers from military du-
ty, was introduced by Mr. Sharpe, and read
the first time. The bill regulating civil actions
was read the third time, and passed. Au a-
mendment, proposing to incorporate a provis-
iou,tlie object of which was to lessen expen-
ces on causes in error, was discussed and re-
jected. An aiuendinent was niatle, propos-
ing to allow costs to be taxed in all cases of
writs of error, at the d-iscretion ofthe court :
upon re-consideration, it was rejected.-
flIay 20.——Thc Speaker appointed Messrs.
Raymond and Hendce, to be the Committee
on the returns of the severalBank.s. ' Mr. Pet-
tibone, from the select Committee on the pe-
tition of Cyrus Swan and others, for an act of
incorporation, to co ustruct a Canal from Shar-
on to the city ofNew-York, made a favorable
report; and a bill in form, was introduced in
conformity therewith. A provision was on
motioninserted,wliicli goes to preserve a right
to the waters, for the purpose ofextendiug the
Canal ‘to the Massacliusetts line, if, and when-
ever it should berequested. Mr. ‘Welch, from
the committee on the petition of Seth An-
drews, and others, for an act to incorporate
the ‘Canaan Cotton M-.inufacturing Compa-
ny,’ reported a bill in form, conferring then-
sual corporate powers. Tlie report was ac-
cepted. The bill came next under consider-
ation, when a motion was made by Mr. Fair-
cltild, to strike out a clause, giving the Com-
pany a lien on the stocltliolders’ interest for
debts due from them, which caused some de-
hate; and the bill wasfinally laid on the table,
The report ofthe Directors of the Asylum for
the Deaf andDumb, with specimens ofthe
improvement ofthe beneficiaries ofthe. State
subjoined thereto, and an account of the dis-
bursement ofan appropriation of five thous-
and dollars made by the state in 1817, was
read and laid on the table. It appears by this
report, that the State has had seven pupils ed-
ucated, under the appropriation mentioned;
and that 239 dollars and 70 cents rcniaiu un-
expended. Mr.Pitkiu,from the Coiuniiitce
on the memorial ofJosepli Williams and oth-
crs, praying an actofincorporaiion fora steam
Boat Company, with liberty to ply up and
down Connecticut river and e!.s‘cw/(ere, made
a favorable report, which was accepted. Tlie
bill in form, reported conformably thei'eto,was
taken up; and, upon being amended, was pas-
sed. T'ne resolve as ainiended, confers the u-
sual corporate powers to build Steam Boats,
&z.c. and to navigate with them, in the most
advantageous manner, under a proviso that
the Company shall not infringe the act oflast
Session. called the Steam Boat Law. Mr.
P. Smith laid in a bill for a public act, limit-
ing the time to exhibit claims against Towns
in certain cases; which was read the 1st time.
The bill in form for the Sharon Canal Coin-
pany was called up. Mr Lord proposed to
amend it by erasing 14 per cent. and insert-
ing 10 per cent. as the maximum of profits to
be allowed; the question was taken on strik-
ing out 14, and was carried. A mOtl0nW=1S
tnade to insert 151 per cent. which was also
carried. On inotiou of Mr. Lord, who wish-
ed for further time to examine the bill, itwas
again laid on the table. The bill to incorpo-
rate the Canaan Cotton Manufacturing com-
party, was taken up.-——The consideration of
the amendment offered in the morning, was
resumed. The principle embraced in the pro-
vision, proposed to be stricken out, was warm-
ly contested by Messrs. Faircliild and Smith,
principally on the ground that it would be giv-
ing the Company an undue advantage over
other creditors: that it would subvert the es-
tablished principle of common law, and, tho’
it had been admitted into the charters of cor-
porate bodies for some time past, it was con-
trary to sound policy, and ought not longer to
be tolerated. Messrs. Hall, Backus, Foot and
Tracy, replied to the arguments urged on the
other side, and tnaintained, that it in no way
introduced a principle, either novel or repug-
nant to Common Law; and that it was a ne-
cessary and all important provision for the
prosperity and stability of the company, as
well as for the security ofcommunity at large.
The amendment was negatived, and the bill
then passed.
Mag/2l.—Mr.Ingersoll,from the Committee
on the resolution for distrieting the State for
Senators,&.c.reported the following resolution:
Resolved, by the House ofRepresentatives,
that the following be proposed as amendments
to the Constitution of this State:
1. TlieSenate shall consist ofmembers from
the different counties, to be chosen annually
by the ‘electors’; they shall be, from time to
titne, apportioned among the several counties,
by the General Assembly, in the following —
manner: Each county shall be entitled to elect
one Senator to every eleven thousand persons
of its population; but every county shall be
entitled to elect, at least, one Senator,whetlicr
its population amounts to eleven thousand or
not. The apportionment shall be made, ac-
cording to the census which shall have been
last taken and completed before the appor-
tionment in this State, under the authority of
the United States, unless otherwise directed
by the General Assembly.
2. The Treasurer, Secretary and Comptrol-
ler, for the time being, shall canvass the votes
for Senators, publicly. The number ofpcrsons
which each county shall be entitled to elect
to the Senate, who shall have the greatest
number of votes for Senator in any county
that may be entitled to but one Senator, shall
be declared to be elected. But in cases where
no choice is made by the electors in any coun-
ty in consequence ofan equality of votes, the
House,_of Representatives shall designate by
ballot, which of the candidates having such e-
qual number of votes, shall be declared to be
elected. The returns ofvotes, and the result,
of the cauvasses, shall be submitted to the '
House ofRepresentatives, and also to the Sc-
nate, on the first day of the Session of the
General Assembly ; and each House shall be
the final -———-——of the election returns, and
qualifications ofits own members.
The question being on the adoption of the
Resolve, Mr. lugersoll spoke at considerable
length in favor ofthe same. This bill increas-
es the number of Senators to 9.1, viz. Hart-
ford County 4——New-Haven, New-L,md0,,,
Fairfield and Litchfield, 3 each—VViiidham
and Middlesex 2 each-—-and ',[‘olland ]_
Mr. Foot, from the Committee on that part
of the Governor’s Message, which i-e];ue;, to
Excise and Ardent Spirits, reported—-‘ that
in their opinion, an Excise on Ardent Spirits
by the Legislature of Connecticut, must not
only be partial, but injurious to our own citi-
zcns, unless a similar law should be passed
by the Legislatures of the adjoining States.
Viewing the subject in that light, your Cutti-
vmittee arc of opinion, that if an Excise duty
is to" be laid, it should be by a general law, e-
qually affcctiug the citizens of all the States.
Your Committee cannot be insensible ofthe
alarming and increasing evils arising from the
free use and abuse of Ardent Spirits ;’ they
are therefore induced to offer a bill for a pub-
lic act, ‘ as the best remedy they have been
able to devise.’ The bill allows licenses to be
granted in the mode at present prescribed ;—
retailers, ‘&c. to pay not less than 20 nor more
than 100 dollars, in addition to the sum al-
ready required ; penalty for a violation ofthe
act, one hundred dollars on conviction for the
first oii'ence, and sixty days imprisonment
with a fine oftwo hundred dollars, for the se-
cond. The money so collected to be applied
to defray expenses of Town poor where the
offence is coniinitted. Other retailers ofspir-
ituotis liquors to pay the same as they now do.
It was read the first time: A bill respect-
ing Courts, iiitroduccd by Mr. Miner, had a
second reading when Mr. M. explained the
provisions ofit, and stated that the object pro-
posed was u very considerable diuiinutioii of
expense, protection of the riglits of the ad-
verse party and the avoidance of dclay.——
The bill limiting tlietitne forexliibitiug claims
against Towns, was read a secotitl time. Mr.
Tracy, said he slionld be gratified to hear
some one offer reasons for the passage oftlic
bill; he saw none why all honest debts should
not be paid, and it appeared to him that the
bill would confer special privileges, against
which he felt bound to reinonstrate. Mr.Fair-
child thought it very proper that Towns as
well as individuals should pay their honest
debts: btit it was well kuowii that demands
against towns are exhibited, and often reject-
ed; these saine claims, after a considerable
lapse oftime, and when it is impossible to de-
terrniue whether they are just and proper, or
not, are again presented. This was an incon-
venience often complained of, and ought to be
remedied, the limitation extending only to
claims of persons within the towns, no injury
can be sustained. It was tlicti postponed to
a third reading.
Ma] 21'2"-—-Mr. \Villiams, iii the select
Committee, to whom was yer,-,-i-red the act for
the assessment of Taxes, made a report, ac-
companied by a bill, making further provis-
ions arid alterations in the law, for the assess-
ment, abatemcnt and collection of Taxes;
which was read the first time.—-—Mr. Mitch-
ell laid in " bill for an act,to repealthe Steam
Boat Law , read the first time.———The bill
exempting Friends, 8Lc. had a third reading,
and underwent an animated and able discus-
sion : on a division, there were in the affirma-
Live, 53, negative, 113.———The bill in form,
on the memorial of Gilbert Brewster,and oth-
ers, to incorporate the Sanseer Manufactur-
ing Company, was again brought tip. On
motion of Mr. Foot, a provision was inserted,
that the amount of capital stock certified in
form, shall not be withdrawn so as to reduce
the sum below that thus certified, and the bill
passed.———The bill limiting the time for ex-
hibiting claims against towns was read the
third time and ordered to lie on the table.——-
The bill respecting civil actions, relative to
writs of error, &.c. was read "the third time,
and after some observations byMr.Hill,passed.
The Legislature have amended the bill in
form ofthe petition for IVashington College,
by inserting additional names, so that the fol-
lowing gentlemen constitute the Board of
Trustees : viz : Thomas C. Brownell, Harry
Croswell, Birdseye G. Noble, Samuel Mer-
win, Nathaniel S. \Vheaton,Elisha Cushman,

Mc Douough, C. Sigourney, Sain’l W. John-
son, Richard Adams, Ebenezer Young, Jon-
athan Starr, Nathan Smith, John T. Peters,
Asa Chapman and Elias Perkins.-—JlIz'rror.
It was proposed in the House on Friday,
(says theMirror)that certain restrictions-should
be laid on the Alewive fishery in Connecticut
river, and its branches, dttring particular sea-
sous, on the supposition, that these Fish
were young Shad, and that a Committee
should be appointed to investigate tliesubject.
It is well known that Mice are young Rats,
and the reply ofthe Irishman, when charged
with stealing a Gun, ‘that he had. owned it
ever since it was a Pistol,’ was acknowledged
to be conclusive. This suggestion is placed
beyond tloubt, by the discovery of gentlemen
who eat Alewives at liome,and Shad in Hart-
ford,that,thc anatomical structure is the same,
and that both have ‘ the same number of ribs.’
