They come f rom allseclions of tho Stnte. These have been rel'erred lo the Judicinry commitJce. An immense iiiimher lune also been rcsented praying lor lh passnge of a Bill providing í'ov n alo q( the Rail Roads. Mr. Uarbour of yfjor County piosonleJ one, nunierously sigiied, frojn Baitlo Crct'.l:, and one from Maröhallj One frprn Wnshtonaw has oiso been received asking lor "rotrèncnmept. oconomy aml judicial rcIb.iíi."
