parted for tbe state dungeon of the capitul.
The feelings which igitatcd the b-jfoniB of the
patriotic Poles weru not unknown at the palace of
Belvedcr. Spies had been placed in the mansion
of every nnblo family, and tho royal agent of the
autocrat was awaro that some great movement
was about to take place ; but fear was not in ele

by striking a decisive blow at some of tho mot

l)Kn.Ti: ON' THE nHTi. INCORPORATING
Till: HUTI.AND HAIL UOAD BANK.
Is srHatb, Oct. 25.
-Mr lirbird tid he had ben favored with an op
portunity to etaminr tha provulons of thn bill.and
found theui lo be similar lo other acts of incorpo
ration, gtititnf banks, crcepl the last section, re
lit.ng to the stock nolders In Itutlsnd Bank, and
giving them an equal amount of slock in the con
templated (tail ltad Bank, .Mr H. said bo did not
Mibcribi to the ultra doctrines of the da v. con
demning in gross, all banking imtitutiona ; norwaa
he on the other hand, in favor of rechartering batiks
it were better that new banks b- c7irterd.whrn
so dliposcd, could avail thrmnelrc of equal privi
leges in obliining Mock j he Was willing to go in
I'svor or the Incorporation of banks, so fir as the
business snd Wants of I ho community, might re
quire. Ho concluded by moving to amend the bill
by erasing tho last section.
Mr Picrpont replied that tho stock holders In the
Bank of Rutland would have no possible objection
to the motion just mado to amend. The section
was not added at their suggestion, nor for their
benefit, but, on the contrary, bv tho friends of the
lull It-lintn nhiiti-t .p.. nnl - J...f. 1.... r 'I 11 1 i
It was tho friends of internal imprntcmenl. not the
atickler of moneyed institutions, who moved in this
measure. The great object aimed to nccomplish,
was the construction of an important rail rnau ; and
stock, to effect this desirable object, it had been
thought by oompclcnt judges and judicious friends
might tnoro readily be tubscribed for, as contem
plated in the section of the bill proposed to bo era
sed, than in any other manner.
Mr Howe spoke in favor of retaining the last
section, on tho ground, and under tho full belief,
that if tho present bill passed, tho Rutland Bank,
through its stock holdcrr; would not apply for a
renewal of its charter, if they neglected to sub
scribe for stock in the contemplated Rail Uoad
Bank, and applied for a renewal of their charter,
that application would come with an ill grace be
fore the I.egislaturc.and with no reasonable hopo of
success.
Mr Porter said Ins saw no evil tliet could arise
to the public from retaining the last bection, and
expressed a hopo that the motion to nmend would
not prevail.
Mr Ilebard, in reply to Mr Pierpont, said tl.o
project appeared to him to bo ono in favor of the
stock holders in tho Bank of Rutland ; he could
sco no object, if it was not tho ono thny were now
stockholders, enjeyinrj the privilege and pocketing
the profits of that bank pass this bill, without a.
mendment, nml they become also stockholders in
tho Rail Road Bunk, to an equal amount, if they
chose to become so if not the next application
would probably bo to a new legislatun fur a renew
a) of their charter. Ho was opposed to a rcnowaL
was nn indemnity to the new bank, to the public or
tu the Legislature. Besides, the giving every
individual in community, dosirous of doing so, an
opportunity to subscribe stock in this contemplated
Rail Road Bank, in case the project proved unsuc
cessful, the greotcr the number of stockholders, tho
Itf-V burden, and inoro equally borne ; and if kuc
cetsfua grorter number would shire it d benefit.
Iftho amendment prevailed, as a friend of internal
improvements, he might vote for the bill.
Mr Picrpont, answered, that the section, propo
sed to be stricken nut, lud been inserted without
reference to giving explosive or undue plivilegcs to
xtnckholdcrs in tho Rullmd Bank they or their
interexts hid nnl been cfiniMillcd ; it had been done
to induce tubg nptons Ic the Hall Road ; and with
that prevision, he thought the stork might be'stib
scribed, and the wo.k go on ; but il gentlemen
thought different, he wonld not urge objections to
Ihe amendment.
Mr Ranney haid ho should be gratified to hesr
a statement offsets from the committee on banks,
in relation to the bill, A Kail Road might, for
I Might he kno-, be t'i object sought to he ntlamtd
or il might be a feint to effect the restoration of a
bank abont to cease bv tho limitation of ita charter
ho would be gratified in tho receipt of definite in
formation of the real object, Us extent, expense,
prnctibillily, &c.
Mr Purler of the committee on banks, ssid tho
fscts so far as they were preentod to the commit
tee, in substance, were, that a charier for a Rail
Road from Whitehall to ltutlnnl had been procur
ed; distance U5 miies ; the route practicable; es
tirnaaed cost $250,000 ; the prer-ent bill contem
plated a bank of 200,000 capital slock, and that
Its stockholders lake an equal iuiountifltr.il Road
stock ; the bank and rail roid cotr.dan csto be sep
arate, and independent of eacii other tiio hi nit bv
foro doming any benefit from their charter, to sub
scribe the rail road stock and expend 9100,000 in
Ha construction.
Mr Bell waa In favor of sinking out the section
( but in favor ofthe genera' jmmi(.o of the bill. -
These principles tic did not regard as tsvortble lo
tbe bank of Rntlmd ; bot most favorable to the
final construction of tbe rail road, and instead of
opperating as a fsvor to tbo Rutland itiuk, would
prove a bonus to the public.
