The first question touches the construction of the con- vention act of 1846; and the point to be considered is, whether the number of delegates Ca chosen under the act, in the s¢veral counties, is to lated by the apportionment of members of phot, ahs which was made in 1686, or by the popertiqnsmont which has been made atthe session of the fe constitution, t panmaelal mailers a By Asse: A mae was made in the spring of 1836, took effect for the purpose of: ting the raonbe: bers, in the fall of that cat pat it did not take effect, for any other purpose. until the first day of January, 1837 ; and it was to remain unaltered for ten'years. In other words, the representation of each county in the Assembly, from the commencement of t he political and calendaryear 1837, to the commencement litical and calendar year 1847. was to remain th . the fall election n,” at the fall elect Of 1845. “If they decided for ka conventoa, the delegates were to be chosen in ae 1846 5 y were to asse: ble in June follow: the aihendrecnte to the con- stitution, on which ) convention might agree, were to be submitted to the poses for adoption er rejection, at the fall election of the same year. ee in rele- tion to the convention, was to be bot cluded while the apportionment of My made in 1836, remained in foi entation from the vention, Assembi; from the respect cities and counties State.” fe are of opinion that this means the num! of mem from respective counties, under the ep- portionment which was in force wheo the act of 1845 ‘was passed, and which will bein force until after the Intelligence. out lest night, about half past 9 | o'clock, in the amall office attached to the Norwich and {all ‘Worcester Transportation Steamboat Line for Boston, at ier No. 1 North River, which conenmet the long shed Belonging to thet line; — the shed on the opposite side | of the pier occupied by the Providence Line.

The fire originated fro uated in the office of the Norwich and ine, and the wind blowing very fresh at tl d through both sheds before the firemen | inguish it. The sheds cost the companies $600 | fortu: cor | each, and the freight, probably, that was stowed in them was worth some $600 more.

But, between the two, op- urch, no water touched for the dust was blowing ali about, ren- above and below it, almost use- rin hand, ly to keep the city cool whole season, avd dering the work done, leas. The corporation ought to take thit and keep all tho streets well watered, not down the dust, but as a means of keeping and health; ‘We notice that the proprietors of s lines, is putting several new have no objection to the ses being new, ut do think Broadway is ough filled up with them now, and that the infernal clatter of their wheels needs no addition.

If an election for members of Assembly, in any count for the resent re now to be ordered, and it should be held ime time that the ee to the convention are to be chosen, the i int of 1836, and not that of the Eines session, would govern. bay ‘Legislature would have no power to make a differ- ent rule. \t would have been highl: ene: ae asa just and equi- table distribution of the del é the several counties, and the Legislature ures 1948 ht have so provided, that the new cansusand epportienment, which were then in prospect, should regulate the representa- tion in the convention. But we think that has not been done. Tt will be seen, on referring to the Assembly had ments of 1845, No. 211, that the select committee, which the convention bili was referred, gave a bretex, ‘ex. position of its provisions, in which they said, that “ each county is entitled to the same representation it now has in the Assembly.” And so far as this question is con- cerved, the bill was passed in the same werd in which it was reported to the House 4 the committee. It is Lagenaamgh Theretors, to su; , that the Legislature, i P bill, intended any other rule of representa. tion A. tbat which had been suggested by the commit- tee. As their attention was plainly called rf the subject, itcan hardly be doubted that they would have changed the language of the seventh section, if the bill was pase soo any cents ae new Senn which bio about to aken, or @ apportionment which it be made under that census. * This goes to confirm the construction which we think must 4 given to the act, waen looking at nothing but the statute book.
