This bill we go for, heart | Sad soul ; and if the Legislature of this State would pess | such a bill this session, it would have e very importent | imfluence upon’ the banking ,movement of the whole | country, and give this State one of the most perfect bank- | ing systems in existence. It,is most astonishing thet the Legislatures of this State, which have so often been de- mooratic in both branches, have suffered the banks, un- der their control and supervision, to continue so long | without any more restrictions than they are now under: Opposed to any very great expansion in banking, gene- | rally, it is « matter of much surprise that the democratic | members of our Legislature have remained so quiet so long, while the numerous banks have run riot upon any course they have been disposed to, without restraint, and without regard to the influence any expansion or con, ; ' traction may have upon the commercial classes, or busi- | ness generally. The bill introduced by Mr. Lawrence, | of the Bank Committee, will, if it should beoome a law, | place the banking institutions of thia city and State in a position where they should have been placed many years ago. The quarterly reports made by these banks are a perfect farce: they are worse than nothing, and some al teration is required—some change ; not the removal of a single restriction, but an increase inthem. The semi- monthly reports required by this new bili, with the quar- terly averagos, will do every thing that is necessary to keep them in order, and to sustaina uniform movement from year to year. It might, perhaps, be as well to com: pel montbly reports, with quarterly averages, as emi. monthly, as the confidence we Lave in the average sys- | tem is so great, that the monthly or semi-monthly reports would be but a secondary consideration. If the mem. bers of the Legislature of this State could feel «little of the restrictions the banks of this city put upon the money market, regularly, just previous to making out their quarterly reports, they would not hesitate long about making the proposed alteration in thepresent system. We annex the minority report of the Committee on Railroads, in the Assembly of this State, against grant- | ing a charter forthe construction of railroad on the east bank of the Hudson river. It is very short, but to the purpose, and many of the reasons given why @ charter should not be granted, are convincing and un- enswerable. The minority of the Committee on Railroads, to which was referred petition to incorporate the Hudson River Railroad Company, respectfally reports That he dissents from the majority of seid committee, who have reported a bill to incorporate said company, for the following among other reasons :— j 1. The principal object of the act isto construct a pal railroad between New York and Albuny ; which must necessarily interfere greatly with the road now inthe active |=}, poe of construction, by the New York and Harlem road Company, and probably retard and de- lay the completion of that road. 2 This State has never chartered two railroads between the same points, and ought not to do so, untilone was found inadequate or unwilling to accommodate the'wants of the community. 3. The Harlem road, as appears by the rt of its di- | Tectors for the present year, bas27 miles of road in ration ; 25 miles more in course of construction, to | finished next May ; and 30 miles more surveyed, staked out y tor the contractors to soon as the sesson will permit; and the } therefore, to believe that at points of ter- must necesserily com with and injure and capi will not be indacedto em- lands ia opposition railroads, where the cep. pet tion will prevent either from being productive. | °'s.

These, and similar induced this House last year to the act to + Herlem xtend the to reject the billof the present | Petitioners by a strong majority; and the ees made since that period in the couemeion of the interior road, fords ti This report must have avery important influence upon, the minds of our legislators. The interior towns are on, titled to « railroad, and the New York, Harlem an?, ar bany Railroad Company, will, in a short time, if Magy re- ceive that support from the Legislature they ay» entitled to, give these tow: repid and economicel ‘conveyance citiesfof New York and Albany, at “111 seasons and Stall times. The river towns have, for, large portion of the year, one of the most magnificent highways in the world; they are daily, and some of the principel tewns twice a day, visited by the most magnificent steamers in the world, and the people of those places enjoy facilities for getting to market, so far as regards exzedition and reater than the towns of the interior cau ex. pect from any railroad. Two railroads cannot be com | pleted to Albany. Ifthe Hudson River Railroad is char. tered, it beco | will be Gois! | road to Albany, & matter of much doubt whether either They will retard each other; and be- interests, neither will be completed. The | Harlem Railroad Company heve expended more than | two millions of dollars in the construction of | Afty-two mi of their road; thirty miles more | #re about being put under contract, involeing, an expenditurs of six hundred and ay thew | sand dollars, making a total of nearly three millions | Of dollars. The act of last winter, giving the Harlew. | Railroad Company liberty to extend their road toAlbany>’ compelled them to expend five hundred thousand dollars: | the first year; they have done 80, and are prepered to | expend as much more; and in two years will, if protect. | e¢, complete the line to Albany. There isa very large population, a very rich and productive section of the country,now shat out from the large Eastern markets, and any obstruction thrown in the way of the Harlem Rail road, would be injurious to that section of the | while the river towns would not beat all benefitted by railroad on the banks of the river, or injured by not hay- ing one. The internal route, mdependent of the neces- sity of giving the interior towns a communication with this city and Albany, would sfford facilities to the Eastern cities to communicate with this, which the river route could not give. Running slong the line of Connecticat and Massachusetts, it will give this market the control of the manufactured and agricultural products of that sea” | tion, while it will, by giving an outlet to their industry” | increase their wealth and prosperity. |* The Legislature kaveno guaranty that the Hudson RiverRailrosd would ev. r be built,ifa charter wes grant. ed. It ie est mated to cost $6 000,009, but it would have been. perhaps, nearer the actual cost to have put it down | at $10,000,000. Estimates never fall below the actual ex” penditure; but, in thie case, even if six millions were sufficient, there is no guaranty that it will or could be | raised. Besides all this, the route is not feesible, either as regards expedition, preducttveness, or economy. It Would interfere with many privileges of these living on —
