Mr Smilie introduced a bill authorizing the State Treasurer to credit the town of Belvidere the amount of their State taxes referred to the committee of Ways and Moans. mr Collamer said as there were a number of petitions before the House for an act abolishing imprisonment for debt, a part of which had been referred to the committee on insolvency and some to the General committee for the purpose of bringing them together, as he did not doubt every member would acknowledge the propriety, he would move that the committee of Insolvency be discharged from any further consideration of the subject, and the same be referred to the General committee. The Follet in the chair) said he was opposed 'to the motion just made by the gentleman from Royalton, he believed the committee of insolvency were fully competent, and it was his o-pinion they are the proper committee to take this important subject into consideration.

He agreed with the gentleman in the propriety of having the subject referred to one committee, and if the motion of the gentleman from Royalton should not prevail, he would move that the petition just referred to the General committee be referred to the committee of Insolvency. mr Collamer, as one of the committee of Insolvency would not wish to be considered as shrinking from the burden of the task, but his object was to have the subject brought before one committee. He said he was not at all tenacious to which committee the question should be referred, but it was his impression that it would better accord with the wishes of the people that it be referred to the General committee. mr Sprague of ML Holly hoped the motion of the gentleman from Royalton would prevail, as the committee of Insolvency consisted of but five members, and most of them professional men, he Relieved with the gentleman from R.

i Monday, Oct. lb. House met pur-nnt tn iirliiun-ninfnt on motion of mr. -j Ej Kellogg, a cdmnniHc of five from each Congressional District, was appointed to receivo, sort and count the votes for Members of CongrSSb. the House to be attended to, he thought there was but little prospect of reaching it before that time, there was much important business now on hand but if the subject could be taken up before next Saturday, he should not object Mr Tucker saw no reason why the gentleman should bo strenuous as to the time, whether next Saturday, or next week.

He saw no good purpose that would be answered by laying the bill upon the table, and hoped the resolution would pass. Ihe motion to lay the bill upon the table was put and lost. Mr Smith of Monkton, called for the reading ofthe resolution. Mr. Sprague of Mount Holler, hoped the resolution would not pass.

It might be considered as forestalling the minds of members and he thought it would be inexpedient to pass the resolution at this time. He did not say but he might be in favor of a bill of this kind, but was opposed to the passage ofthe resolution. Mr. rollett said tho only object he had in presenting this subject at this time was, that it might not bo deferred so long that it could not receive the attention its importance demands. Several attempts had been made, at former sessions, to introduce bills of the kind, but they in general embraced so many details, that the grand object was defeated and lost Whether thellouse will pass the resolution, he could not say; but for his part, he conceived it a subject that required the interposition of the Legislature.

I Ie said the people where ho resided were opposed to the practice so destructive to moral principles de priving the unfortunate debtor ot liberty, and incarcerating his body in prison- he really hoped tho resolution would pass. I lie question was put and the resolu tion passed.

Mr. Sinilce introduced a bill repealing an act relating to the apaointment of Road commis sioners referred to committee on roads and canals. Mr.

Buck introduced a resolution di recting the engrossing clerk to prepare the Grand List, and that for his services he be paid from the contingent fund. Mr. B. remarked the duty of making out the Grand List, which had usually been assigned to the committee, was not only onerous but extremely burdensome, and inconsistent with more important duties duo their constituents. The task of mak ing out the GrandList could be perform- eti oy any penman no great talent was requeue, was as simple as any opera tion ot arithmetic and to compel the members of this committee to spend their tune during this session upon this busi ness, would be depriving them ot an op portunity of acquiring much valuable information upon important subjects.

air. smith ot bt A. could soe no rca- oui mo urand List, should be excused; other committees had laborious duties to perform, and he did not think it expedient that this committee should be: excused at the expense ofthe contingent fund. mr. Dewey moved the resolution be referred to a committee of four to join from council.

mr. Smith of St. A. hoped the resolution would not be referred the question mr. Indiam called for the reading of resolution.

The resolution was read, and on the question of i's adoption, the vote was yeas 69, nays 101, so the resolution did not pass. mr. Shaw, secretary o. uie uovornor and Council, appeared and informed the House that the Governor and Council had concurred in the resolution directing both Houses to meet in joint committee at 2 o'clock P.M. onTh' suay, to choose a Senator.

The committee on the petition of Norman Cleveland made the following report, which on motion was made the order ofthe day for to-morrow. REPORT Of the Committee on thepctition of Norman Cleavland. To the Hon. General Assembly, now sitting whom was referred the petition of Norman Cleavland, now confined in the common jail, at Irasburgh, report the following statement of facts, so far as the committee deem material The said Cleavland was tried at an adjourned term of Orleans county Court, in April, A. D.

1830, on an indictment for the murder of llannnah Rose, and was convicted. At the empanneling ofthe Grand Ju ry lor said court, the counsel lor saici Cleavland challenged one of said Grand Jury, and for cause offered to prove by witnesses that he had formed and expressed an opinion against said Cleav land in this behalf; but the court refused to admit said testimony, but confined the inquiry to the Juror's answers on his own oath, and said Juror remained and acted on said pannel. At the empanneling ofthe Petit Jury, for the trial ofthe cause, the court refused to call over all the Jurors empannelled for the term, before taking the challenges, but first ordered twelve drawn, and no more, un til challenges were taken. The counsel for said Cleavland challenged some of said Petit Jury for favor, and offered to prove by witnesses other than the Ju rors, that they had formed and expressed opinions in the case against said Cleav land but the court rejected said testi mony, and confinel the inquiry to the Juror himself; and though the peremto- ry challenges, "by law given to the pris oner, were exhausted, yet two ot the Jurors who sat in the case, as is now pro- ved, had actually formed and expressed opinions against the case before trial. It appears, one Juror was challenged on the part ofthe State, who, on inquiry, said he had that day been told by a man with whom he rode to court, that he (the Juror) had previous ly expressed an opinion, yet ne aid not recollect of ever having so done, nor was he now conscious of ever having formed an opinion, yet it was possible he might fcaid challenge was allowed.

It appeared said Hannah Rose was from 30 to 35 years old, of bad character, in Minehead, where she had resided lor many years. She had resided in Iras burgh, about one year previods" to this transaction. She resided with her mother, a Mrs. Frasicr, a material witness on the trial, who was ofa bad reputation in every respect. Said Cleavland is a physician, about 30 years of age, of a fair and unquestioned reputation until this transaction.

There was testimony tending to show he had illicit connection with said Hannah, as early as June, previous to the transaction. She was afterwards in a state of pregnancy, and it appears said Cleavland was applied to, to procure an abortion. That she took medicines for that purpose. That she went and procurod herbs, and made and took r'ecoctions, of her own preparing, for the purpose, with the mother's consriiL That wi'h ihe mother's advice, the said Clea. land made unsuccessful experiments with a wire for that purpose.

That, on the night ofthe 13th of November last, the said Cleavland, in attempting to procure an abortion, with a sharp-pointed instrument, unintentionally caused her immediate death; which result was unpremeditated by said Cleavland. The court charged the Jury among other things, "That if the respondeiit did that which caused the immediate death of the said Hannah Rose, as stated by the witnesses, and did it with the deliberate intent to destroy the child, and operated with such an instrument, and in such a manner as was attended with danger to the woman, and her death ensuedthe crime was murder that any uniig snori oi mat would be man slaughter only." To which several decisions ofthe court in relation to challenges of Jurors, together with a number of other important questions ofLaw, as decided by court and to said charge, the said Cleavland, by his counsel, tilled exceptions which were signed by the Judges, and which in the opinion ofthe committee, ought to have passed to the Supreme court for final decision. And said Cleavland.by his counsel requested thnt judgement should be respited until the next session of the Supreme court in said county; but the court refused so to do, but did proceed to sentence him to he executed on the last Friday in October, A. 1). 1800.

Said Cleavland has undergone a rigorous confinement, from November last until this time.and endured much in the dnngeon of said Jail, in irons. And' your committee find with the papers referred to them, petitions from various parts of the State, urgently raying his pardon, relief, signed by many hundreds of our citizens. All of which is respectfully submitted. By JOHN C. THOMPSON, for Committee, so apparent and conclusive, that he for one, could see no reason it should not pass.

Mr. Dewey said he was not prepared to come to any definite conclusion as to the merits ofthe resolution, at any rate he could see no evils that would result from its reference for the present it certainly would expedite the business ofthe House, which gentlemen would all acknowledge was a subject of much importancehe therefore hoped it would be referred. Mr. Perry moved the resolution be laid upon the table. Mr.

Buck said as it respected the immediate disposal of the resolution he was totally indifferent, but differed with the gentleman from St. Albans as to the view which that gentleman seemed disposed to take of the subject This resolution was not made without a full knowledge of the complaints that were frequently made on which other members are as well acquainted with as himself. Mr. Bacon moved the resolution be dismissed. Mr.Dewey hoped the resolution would not be dismissed he considered the remarks ofthe gentleman from Chelsea, just made, entitled to consideration from the known character of the gentleman, f.d his experience in matters of legislation, together with the assurance he had just given the House of the complaints upon the subject, a sufficient reason why the resolution should not be dismissed for the present After some further discussion in which Mr.

Smith, Dewey, Buck and Brown of VY. took the question was put oh Mr. Bacon's motion, and lost. Mr. Buck then moved the further con sideration of the resolution be postponed until to-morrow morning.
