On yesterday evening, Mr.. Tyson submitted an
order to give the bill for the promotion of Internal
Improvement priority over all other business Of to
/ day. To-day at an early hour, on motion Of MIR.
stricker, the bill was called up Several amend.
ments were offered with a view Of defeating, or
calculated to defeat, the bill but they siren
uousIy and successfully resisted by Messrs. Tyson,
|Suicker and Duval. At length the question was
taken on the passage of the bill, and decided in
1.-THE affirmative by vote of 40 to S5. In one hour
|ths bill passed the Senate and became taW. The
passage Of this bill is a great triumph for the
state Of Mary land and particularly the city Of
Baltimore. 1t gives S50O.00o to the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, on condition Of Congress, subscri-
bins for 10000 shares. 1t gives the ike sum of
100000 TO rHE SUSQUEH ANNA CANAL,
provided 5000 shares should be first subscribed by
bona fde subscribers. Now is the time for the city
of Baltimore to take the start in the field of great
ness. Let her people put forth all their strength
let the City Councils unlock your resources-you
will have your Rail Road to the West-your sus.
quehanna Canal to the North and West-the trca-
sures of three mions of enterplisng people will
flow into your lap, and Baltimore will yet become
The first city Of this Union.
