In the Senate, yesterday, bills were reported to authorize railroad companies to appoint police agents; incorporating the Richmond City Insurance Company, and the Virginia Steam Sugar Refinery Company, at Rocketts. Among the resolutions were the following: For relieving the Orange and Alexandria Railroad from payment of taxes and interest on loans made by the State in its behalf; providing more efficient police regulations for the watering places of the Commonwealth; for establishing a branch Bank at Liberty, Bedford county, and for incorporating a Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company near Lynchburg. The joint resolution for an adjournment till February 18th was indefinitely postponed. The bill to relieve the various schemes of internal improvement from injurious competition, was referred to the Committee on Roads.
