INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT MEETING.

The object, of the meet'mjrwas ex plained by the dhairman, who was followed in some ap propriate remarks by T.'J. Lemay, Esq., who conclu ded by moving the appointment of a Committee to draft By-Laws, &,c. for the government of an Internal Im provement Association proposed to be raised in this City, for the furtherance of the object which had convened the meeting which motion was adopted. ''Mr. Lemay then offered a Preamble and Resolutions, to the effect J that th Corporation of the City of Ra leigh should subscribe liberally to this great enterprize ; requesting the Intendant and Commissioners to sub scribe for $25, 0QO worth of Stock ; that the Polls be ; opened for taking; the sense of the voters of the Cityon this proposition ; iand that application be made to the next Sefsioniof the Legislature for an amendment to our City Chirterj to enaUe the City Authoritie. to raise 1 fsnrh rvpnii. hv: tavat'on nn thp Kfal Kstate and I i II. as would enable them to pay said subscription. All of which were iuiaqimously adopted. i Some subscriptions were received at this meetings though we have iot ascertained the precise amount. ! More interest seemed to be evinced by our citizens pre- i sent, than atany previous meetinjr on this subject, which , we hope augurs that More decided action will be taken ; by all, for all classes certainly, are greatly interested .) in the success of this great work. We hope to be able J to procure the Proceedintrs of the meeting for our next paper, when we will speak more at length in reference to the matters discussed and adopted Raleigh Regis PLANK ROAD FROM CAMDEN TO I CHARLOTTE.
