_ Wediresclay, .May11.—A great number of
Petitions, on b'eing‘called for, were presented
and referred to select couiniittees, or ‘other-
wise disposed ‘of. Among them were several
for a revision ofthe laws regulating the Shad
Fisheries of Connecticut River; for Banks;

for different purposes.

This is the last day for receiving petitions,
which have thus far taken up most ofthe time
since the se'ssion ‘commenced. An unusual

since the session commenced.

The comuiittee on the rneinorial for a Batik
'at Norwiclr,have reported in favour of grant-
ing the prayer of the petition, but the report
was negatived in the House,only about a doz-
an or twenty voting for iti an attempt howev-
er is to be made to get the vote reconsidered.

Bills passed appointing ‘sundry persons
judges of Probate. In this County no chatt-
ges are made--in Newflaven Wm.W.Board~
man has been appointed, vice Judge Mills.

Chas. H. Pond was appointed Sheriff of N.
Haven co. $1. Siuieon Siirith ofN. London co.

A petition ofthe South Hollow District was
rearl,praying for their proportion ofthe school
money, which was lost througlr the neglect of

scholars."

Mr. Leavitt said that the provis-

this negligence was increasing, and an exam-
ple ought to be made, and he thought it might
as tvell be made in this district as-any other.

Mr. Ingcrsoll said he was surprised at the
geiitletriatfls opposition to this petition. The
children benefitted by the School Fund are
many of them children ofthe poor, who have
no voice in the appointment of the Cornmit-
tees, and hard inuced would it,,be_to punish
the innocent child forthe negligence ofa pub-
lic officer, whom the child did not know. But
even suppose the strongest case that can be
stated, let the‘ comtrrittee-meri be wilfully in
the wrong, the children ought not to suffer.
The gentleman may not feel very tender on
this subject——t|rose of us who have children to
educate have urtich concern for them and
their wcllare ; this may account for the apa-
thy ofthe gentleuizrn, for it is understood that

of the act concerning critnesand pnnislinients
was read the second time: Mr. T.S.Williams
remarked, that the section to be repealpd was
for the punishment of the crime-of breaking
and enteringa dwelling house or otlie_l' build-
ing in the day time, and stealing therefrom to
the value of one dollar. The general law on
this subject, punished this cririie, by fines and
-vliipping ; Justices of the Peace, and the
County Courts had cognizance ofthe offence;
such was the law, when the act proposed‘ to
be repealed was passed. The offence was
now punishable by imprisonment in NewGate
not exceeding two years. He said there was
now but little difference betweenthe punish-
ment of this crime and tharof burglary in the
night‘ season; the only difference indeed was
in" the extentofthe punishment. In this case
the punishment was too great for the offence,
it was not proportioned to the enormity ofthe
crime. He said the offence of breaking‘ the
house was frequently merely nominal; the
prisoner often lifted the latch and entered the
dwelling without a felonious intent, perhaps
for air honest or justifiable purpose ; but after-
wards yielded to the temptation to which he
was exposed, and conrmitted the theft. Mr.
W. said that one great object of punishment
was to prevent the commission of crimes, but
that an trndue severity ofthe punishment,did
not have that eft'ect,an'cl that no man had been
deterred from the commission ofthe crime by
the additional severity ofthe present. He said
it was two years since tbevpresent law went
into operation, and in that time," no less than
IE’. persons had been convicted in a single
county. Iforrly half that ntitirber were con-
victed in other counties, at least 20 would be
sent to New Gate Prison each year,under this
act. The consequence was, tlratprosecutions
were nrirltiplied, and the expences of prose-
cution were tiruch increased; and it would
soon be necessary to increase thelimits ofthe
prison, unless sortie check were put upon this
nrultiplication of crimes. -

Mr. Jtrdson said he should support the bill
for the reasons given by Mr.Williams and for
additional reasons. He thought the penalty
too heavy ; it should be proportioned to the
crime. He knew a man who had been guilty
ofthe most gross and deliberate perjury, for
which he had been sentenced to oiily6 months’
imprisonmerit, while in this case, the criminal
was punished by two years confinement in
New Gate. He moved to refer the subject to
a select coiririiittee ofthree, which was done.
The comuiittee on the petition ofE. Fitch.
a convict in Newgate for the crime of forgery,
tnade report, that he be released.

Mr. Judson said he regretted that his duty
demanded of him to state to the House. that
the report ought not to be accepted: the pris-
oner had been a titan of high standing, with
a family dependant on birir for support,_and
had lived the life ofa C'Iu'islian as his neigh-
bors supposed, until it was tirade public that

. his practice had been for thirteen years, to pay

one note by forged-signatures to another. A
long time before his trial, Fitch had been de-
tected_,in uttering a‘ forged note to the Nor-
wich Bank, and then was made acquainted
with the enormity ofthe crime, and on condi-
tion of secresy, promised to desist ; but not
so—he pursued this cotirse of forgery, note
fillet‘ BN3. ‘0 many Banks, until he is overta-
ken in Newgate. There is a large amount
ofpaper now out-standing that he «never can
redeem. Having taken apart in the trial,
the House will excuse me front giving a vote;
but before a convict ofthis character is liber-
filed. it is highly proper that tbehouse should
know allthe facts.

Mr. Huntington said Mr. Fitch was a very
respectable man, and every person in commu-
iiity commiserated his condition, he had paid
the debt due to the law, which was honoured
by his repentance, and no tnore ought to be
required of him. ‘
Mr. Robinson said that the church to which
Mr. Fitch belonged,'had forgiven him, and
he was now restored unariimously to commun-
ion. The petition ought to be granted. The
subject was on motion postponed.

The Senate assigned Tuesday next for the
appointment ofa U. S. Senator.

Thursday, May 12.——Mr. Raymond intro-
duced a proposed amendment of _tlie Consti-
tution of this state, to elect the Senators by
Districts, 8:. increase the number of Senators.
This ameudiirent proposes that the counties
of Hartford, New Haven, New London,Fair-
field, Windham and Litchfield, elect three
Senators each, and the counties of Middlesex
and Tolland two each.

The hotise proceeded this afternoon to elect
a Commissioner of the School Fund, in the
place ofMr. Hillhouse, resigned. The whole
number of votes was 168, of which Seth P.
Beers,Esq. had l64,and was declared_elected.
A bill in form, pn the petition fr. Norwalk,
Danbtiry, 8:0. for a Marine and Fire Insur-
ance Co. was read. Mr. Iugersoll remarked
that it: the flourishing County of Fairfield
there was no Insurance Co. and that the in-
habitahts generally resorted to N. York for
insurance. This might be done here and the
profits retained in the state. There wasa
principle in the bill which was new here, al-
tho’ common in other states, viz. that ofin-
corpc-rrating the members of the co. at once
instead ofleaviug Comm’rs. to receive sub-
scriptions and divide the stock. Thib he tlio’r
unobjectionable, 830.-——-Mr. Sterling object-
ed to this last clause, tho’ in favor ofthe rest.
A’ few individuals had ‘applied for an act for
their own benefit, and the public would be
deprived ofan opportunity of sharing itwith
them. He tlio’t the usual mode preferable.
Mr. Raymond did not think the objection
great ; if there was monopoly others might
petition; the case was the same as with man-
ufacturing companies. The bill passed.
The bill for a new organizatioii of our Ju-
diciary system was read a second time, and
supported by Mr. Sherman atsorne length.--_

:-Mr. lngersoll objected to it as an innovation

which might produce mischief, and as accom-
p ishing no more than might be done ina
moregsimple mode. His plan was to give the
Superior Court original or concurrent juris-
diction in all cases over 870, preventing ap-
peals, and prohibiting the judge ofthe Supe-
rior Court, who tried the case in the court be-
low, fr. sitting upon it in the Carirt of Errors.
Friday was spent in debating upon a peti-
tion of the Mechanics Bank of N. Haven for
leave to commence Banking operations im.
mediately, provided tb_e bank shall deposite
$50,000 in tbestate Treasury, to be forfeited
to the state in case that suui shall not be‘ex-

not ye; assumed a charactei of ‘very high in-
terest, the time having thus, far bee_n'princi-
pally spent" in hearing petitions, and attend-
ing to matters of._local. rather than of general
iniportance.',- It will be perceived by a refer-
ence to otir legislative journal, that a bill has
been introduced by the Judiciary coninrittee
for abolishing the County Courts, and making
other alterations in ourjudiciary sy_stern ; and
also that another much debated subject,that of
Districting tbeState, has been laid before the
House. As these are the two most important
questions to which the attention ofthe legis-
lature will be call'ed'at this session, it may be
presumed that considerable discussion will
take place before a decision_oftli‘ern is made.
The house has nominated Calvin"W.illey,Esq
to the office of U. S. Senator. -

The Reporters of thebusiness of the Legis-
lature make such short work of it that we are
able to learn but very little from them respect-

cal matters in which this part ofthe county

Sunday flmusements.—Last Sabbath our

streets were disgraced with throngs of the

members of a party of pleasure who visited
us in the steam boat Legislator, Capt. Fisher,
from New York. It consisted of upwards of
150 persons, principally young m_eclranics and

clerks, but intermixed with many “boys ofa

larger growth,” who, ifthey had no reverence
for the laws of their Creator, ought certainly
to have known "better titan to have violated
the‘larvs of this State. After disturbing the
repose of ourinhabitairts by the noise of the
vehicles of conveyance which they ptrt in re-
quisition, and by the scenes of mirth and rev-
elry which they exhibited, they left us as they
came, unmolested by those whose duty it is to
see that the laws are honored. It is ,_uuder-
stood that the experiment is to be repeated,
and that we are every" Sabbath to be disturbed
by these Sunday visitants; but we do hope
that there is virtue enough in this community
to take me'asures ‘that shall put an’ effectual
stop to a recurrence of the scenes which we
have here alluded to.

As the boat was leaving an accident liap-
pened through the criuiinal carelessness of
the captain which had nearly proved fatal to
the lives of two or three small boys. One
of the boys was very seriously injured, and
another considerably. "

fl pirate caught.—On Friday a sea-faring
man by the name of John L. Skeese, was
brought up to the Police, under the following
circumstances. He had shipped on board
the brig Harriet, at Campeachy, bound to
Baltimore, being a stranger to ' the concern,
and a considerable qtiantity of cochineal was
brought on board and the owner fearing the
irates, entreated the captain to put to sea
before the people on shore knew what he had
on board. This Skeese asked permission to
go on shore for his bedding, and would take
no refusal. He obtained an hour’: perurission
to be absent, and came on board, and just at
dark the captain got under way. In going
out of the harbor, it being dark and rainy,tbe
captain ordered Skeese to keep a ldok out for
a sunken wreck; and Skeese, instead ofgiiid-
ing~lririi correctly, led him to within 20 yards
o_f the sunken wreck, with the evident inten-
tiou ofdestroying the vessel. - The captain
discovered his danger just in time to avoid it,
and he threatened the mate seriously for his
conduct. Just at that moment, the supercar-
,go told the captain that through the haze of
the night, he discovered a piratical boat mak-
ing for the vessel—the captain ordered the
guns to be cleared for action, and the mate
assisted with alacrity. The supercargc bro’:
up the Captain's pistols, and laid them on the
hen coop, when Skeese seized them, and
threatened to shoot the cap".ain ; he ran for-
ward, and hailed -the boat in Spanish, telling
them to come on board, swearing he would
have the cochineal. At this time the boat was
witbiii 20 yds.ofthe shlp',wher'r a fresh breeze
sprung up, and she escaped. Skeese was se
cured by the crew, bro"t back to Cauipeachy,
and was sent in irons on board the" Susanna.

Canals by SterIm.—The Cinliinnati Empo-
rium informs us that at awoollen rnatiufacto-
ry in that city there is a model of a machine
for excavating the earth for the formation of
canals, the invention ofMr. French, practical
Engineer. It excavates, elevates, and places
the earth on the side of the canal, at any giv-
en distance from its margin at one operation.
The great simplicity of its construction and
movements, the altnost certainty ofits great
practical utility, will render its invention at
this particular period a matter of congratula-
tion to the citizens of this country ; and we
trust of profit to its ingenious inventor. We
understand a machine of sufiicient magnitude
is now building and expect this season to see
steam successfully applied to digging canals.

Jlfelanclioly Slu'pwrecI:.—-The scbr. Chris-
tiana, Duling, which left the Delaware April

P. M. on the suth. in lat. 87, long 73, and im-
itiediately filled. The crew succeeded in sav-
islg the ‘boat ‘and the square sail, by dropping
the‘ former under the lee ofthe sclrr.and haul-
ing tlielatter on her bottoui,and lashed them-
selves to the satire. Duriugthe night the wind
blew fresli, with ahigh sea, and they were all
washed off the vessel’s bottom a number of
tirnes,the squaresail on top which caused them
to reject it; and lay exposed to the mercy of
the wind and waves, without a shelter of any
description whatsoever. "Two meir, John R.
Roberts, and John Pickett,were placed in the
boat to keep it frotii bilging. From the eve-
ning ofthe 215: until the morning ofthe 2"2d
the gale was most violent, the wreck St. crew
were frequently under water, and an [taliari
passenger, Don , was drowned. During
this time the men in the boat; cut the painter,
and abandoned the wreck. Soon after the
masts were carried away, the bull righted, 8:
the crew got on deck—-same, night the cook,
Joseph Green, aged 75, died of fatigue. On
the Qfld, the gale being more riioderate, ob-
tained a keg ofvinegar, of which they drank;
on the 23d, by diving down the cabin, 9 or 10
feet under water, they succeeded in gettinga
jug ofpeacli brandy, a few bottles of ale and
porter, aulteg of wine, three hams be a cheese;
the porter and ale lasted 3 days, the liams 6
days, and the cheese 7 days. 24th-, to 28th,
the wreck was passed by a ship which took no
notice of it.—Oii the 9Z9th,when the survivors
were nearly exhausted, the wreck was fallen
in with by the brig Susan 8:. Elizabeth, Capt.
Gray, who took them off and carried them to
Pliilaclelphia. The survivors are Capt. Dul-
ing, Moses Lyons, mate,= Wm. Godfrey, and
James Tomlin, seanren. , They were exposed
on the wrje,ck for 8 days and 21 hours,withotrt
any thing to eat or drink than before men-
iioned, and almost constant gales accompan-
