THE LEGISLATURE

- The Revenue bill has passed the Commons, and is now before the Senate. That body was engaged to a late hour on Thursday evening in considering the bill.

All the bills incorporating or rechartering Banks, which have passed the Senate, are still before the Commons. The bill to charter the Union Bank, Newborn, is yet before the Senate.

The bill appropriating $1,000,000 for completing the North Carolina Railroad, has been delayed by a disagreement between the two Houses in relation to the appropriation of $15,000 contained therein for the improvement of Tar river. The bill will, of course, become a law.

The bill providing for a railroad from Beaufort, by way of Clinton, Warsaw and Fayetteville, to the coal fields in Chatham, was rejected on its third reading in the Commons, on Wednesday last.

The bills for the western and eastern extensions of the North Carolina Railroad—the bill for a rail road from Wilmington to Charlotte, and the French Broad Railroad bill have been finally passed into laws.

See proceedings from Monday to Thursday inclusive.
