He allud ed to the capacities of Currituck Bound, and he said, in answer to the objection as to an insufficiency of water, that there was enough there to fill all the canals i" the world; and it would remain there till the ocean itself ran dry. lie then entered up gen eral remarks on the work. He was glad he had the works, for it had enabled him to meet and rwiel every objection he had heard against them. He then replied to certain objections urged against all schemes shown to be unexceptional that if this was so why did not its' friends build it He appeal ed to the "Senate on behalf of the section of the tate interested in this work.

The bill then passed by a vote of 19 to 17 Quite a number of unimportant bills were then read a second lime and the Senate adjourned at about 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House assembled at the usual hour. NEW BILLS. The following new bills were read the first time. Mr. Jones of Orange, to incorporate KittrelTs Springs Company, of Granville county. jlr.c Taylor, to prohibit the sale of liquors in the town of ilay wood. Mr. Fries, to authorize the public treasurer to is sue; coupon bonds to meet the demands upon the puWic treasury for the next two years. The amount required is thirteen hundred and sixty thou guid dollars. CHESAPEAKE AND ALBEXARI.E CANAL. The vote rejecting the bill to aid the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal Company was reconsidered, and On motion of Mr. Badham, it was made the special order for Fridaj next WESTERN N. C. RAILROAft. The debate was resumed on this bilL Mr. T. IL Caldwell was opposed to the substitute, ami offered some amendments to meet the wishes of the opponents to the bill. Mr. Fagg would have voted for the bill of Mr. Caldwell with reluctance. It had many objection able features. He complained of the manner in which the great interests of the West had been treated The burden of taxation, without any ben efit, was too heavy to be borne much longer. But if the substitute of Mr. Hall was accepted, every man in the West would go spiritedly to work, and the road would be built. Mr. Love spoke in favor of the bill as amended by Mr. Caldwell. If this bill passed the stock would be taken in less than sixty days. The amendments of Mr. Caldwell were adopted. Messrs. Fries, Ward and Outlaw offered amend ments, which being, some of them, very lengthy, we were unable to form any idea what effect they had on the bill, so many sections were struck out and so many new: provisions inserted. Mr. Kansom was not entirely in favor of this bill, hut would vote for its second reading in order to have an opportunity to amend it on its third reading. The State was pledged to build a road from Salis bury to the Tennessee line; this could not be re pealed. The State, faith was aho pledged to an ap propriation of four millions of dollars, which was likewise out of the power of this legislature to re peal. The question then was how to advance this money with the least burden to the State. This bill proposes a different mode from the original charter, but it would appear in a manner more advantageous to the State. Mr. R. then examined the proposition in detail, and the probable amount the State would be called upon to pay this year and the next na" was of opinion that the Stats would have many years in which to pay the balance of three millions, lie considered the last Legislature had a patriotic motive in inserting the sectional restriction in the charter. It could not be expected that the railroad could be built in a moment therefore the sectional feature was insisted on. All the State required was to be properly secured by this bilL A floating idea was prevalent that if this bill was defeated the West ern Extension would die out This was a mistake. The men engaged in it will carry it out but at a slower rate. And he thought it was worth consid ering, if there would not be a great saving in the item of interest alone, upon the money advanced by the State, if the work was finished at once to the foot of the mountain, where the tunnel begins. He considered the State would save $800,000. Mr. R. make some further remarks upon the best n.anner of progressing with the work, and thus putting the road into operation and saving the payment of inter est to the State. Mr. Norwood could not vote intelligently upon the bill in its present state. Sc many changes were made he could not tell what the bill was. He moved to postpone further consideration until half past one o'clock. Mr. Williams was against the motion. ' If the bill was to be killed let it be done at once, and not be putting it off from time to time. After some remarks from Messrs. Norwood, Cald well and Baird, Mr. Outlaw supported Mr. Norwood's motion. The bill ought to be carefully examined. He stated in reference to this road that a certificate had been given that the county of Burke had made her sub scription and paid the required advance of 5 per cent, which certificate afterwards turned out to be untrue. Mr. O.- alluded also to the President of the X. C. Piailroad, who had subscribed for $170,000, and then took a contract for $500,000 or $600,000 ; and another instance was that of a gentleman who had subscribed $1,900,000 to the Chcraw Railroad. Be made mention of these instances to show the Bouse the necessity of carefully looking into the provisions of the bilL Mr. Outlaw alluded to the refusal to his constituents of a small appropriation, hut such matters would not affect his action on oth er measures before the House. The bill then passed its second reading. Mr. Norwood moved the, bill and amendments be printed and made the special order for Thursday evening. FREE NEGROES. A bill concerning free negroes was read. It pro vides for removing them from the State after two years notice. Mr. Byrd moved to lay it on the table. Rejected-yeas 43, nays 51. A very warm discussion took place, the bill was denounced as cruel and unjust Messrs.. Byrd, McKoy, Smith, Kerr, Morehead and Drake opposed the bill Messrs. Beeves and Jones, of Craven, sup ported it On motion of Mr. Byrd, it was indefinitely post poned yeas 73, nays 25. BANK Or NORTH-CAROLINA. The bill to establish the Bank of North-Carolina as read the second time. Mr. Ransom was not willing to trespass upon the Bouse, but it was necessary to make a simple state ment of the provisions of the bilL : The bill propos- r10 cnarter the bank with a capital of two and a half millions nf dollars nf trbirb antn tiin State ma to Blibscrihe inOO AMI fmm th Ulmre Timd and 1200,000 from the University Fund ; the baUanc. by individuals.

' If the Legislature should think proper to refund the loan of $200,000, it would have the power to tax the bank indirectly; but if it accepted it, it could not tax the bank shares. No bill lower than 5 could be issued, and a future Legislature mav nrohibit all under $10. These were the principal features of ww urn; me machinery is like all similar-institutions.- He had made enquiry, and had no doubt the block wouia oe taken. He also stated T the bank suspended'specie payments it would have to nav 18 per cent interest end if the suspension continued longer than 90 days without the consent or the Governor and Council, it would forfeit its charter. Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford, thought this a most in geniously constructed bilL He bad no Drciudice against any man or corporation, but he bad no hesi tation in saying this was the State Bank in disguise. He had no doubt but the friends of that bank would snap up the stock. Mr. . Caldwell alluded to the Secretary of State lobby intr for this bank bilL Ha commented at some length on the several clauses of tnc mil, ana expressed strong opposition to it Mr. Norwood bad no connection with banks, but he was a bank man, and a paper currency lean. It could not be abolished without iniurv to the neonle. jui. ii uh was a scneme to nansier tne old share. holders of the State Bank into this one, he was op posed to it To prevent this transfer, he would offer an amendment that no person should subscribe tor more tnan $ 100 shares, or 1 10,000 worth. Mr. Ransom read from the bill to show that this amendment was unnecessary, and declared he had no interest whatever in banks. He challenged the closest investigation to prove the fairness of the bilL and warmly repelled all insinuation against the gen- ucman mat naci araneu tiio bill (Air. it t. Moore,) who was a gentleman of unimpeachable integrity and patriotism. Mr. M. had drawn up the bill at his (Mr. It's) particular rcmicst After some debating between Messrs. Ransom and Caldwell, Mr. Hill, of Halifax, as chairman of the Finance Committee, wished to correct a report that he in tended to vote for this bill He thought it was an improvement upon former bills ; but in oint of . . : l i . f . . i .i uiAauuii ii wa (in i, unhi a uvuer looting inan uic Cape Fear Bank, he could not support it Mr. Williams objected to the last clause of the bill, which allowed seven and a half millions of pro perty belonging to the bank to be exempt from tax ation.

Mr. Williams was objecting to this amendment when the House adjourned ti'l 7 p. in. SIGHT SESSION. The House met a 7 o'clock. The debate was resumed upon the bill to charter me ranK 01 .onn varoi;na. Mr. Williams read the last clause of the bill and contended that it not only exempted the Bank prop erty, but that of every individual stockholder. As for the loan of $200,U.0 without interest ho looked upon that as nothing, the money deposited by the state in the liank would more than repay them. Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford, moved to strike out 8 and insert 7, limiting the profits of the Bank to that amount Reiectcd veas 3:1. navs fid. Mr. Hill, of Halifax, offered a new section which taxes each share 30 cents, and expressly provvks that any future Legislature may tax the Bank equal to the tax laid on the interest of mony loaned.

Mr. Smith offered an amendment relative to the State's subscription. Adopted.

Some objection being made by Mr. Smith to the proviso allowing double damages for the bind used, Mr. Ransom stated this bill was offered by the company, and he thought there ought to he no ob jection; if they were satisfied, for himself, he was, and had been in favor of a free charter in the usual way. An amendment by Mr. Smith to strike out the clause allowing "double damages" was adopted. Mr. Ransom offered a substitute for the bill giv ing them a free charter to take the most convenient route.
