LEGISLATURE OF NEw.YoRK.


The Legislature of New. York met al
Albany on the 4th inst. In the choice OF
Speaker, in the House of Assembly
John C.. Spencer, Esq. the administration
candidate, received 81 votes, and was con-
sequently elected Peter Sharp, Esq. the
opposing candidate for Speaker, received
SO votes. From the Speech Of Governor
Clinton, at the opening of the Legislature,
we make the following extract, which will
doubtless be read with interest.
EXTRACT.
The middle section Of the Western Ca.
nal, including lateral canal to Salina, and
comprising distance of more than 90
miles, has been completed. On the 23d
day of October last, the commissioners ma
vigated il from Utica TO Rome, and found
their most sanguine expectations realized
in the CELEBRITY, economy and excellence
Of the execution; and on the Gath Novem-
Der, the Champlain Canal was also in a
navigable state. In less than two years
and five months. 100 miles of artificial ma
vigation had been finished; and thus the
physical as well as financial practicability
Of uniting the waters Of the western and
northern lakes with the Atlantic ocean,
has been established beyond the reach Of
doubt or cavl.
=" The whole length of the western Sec
ton is about one hundred and sixty-three
miles, and of the eastern about ninety-se-
ven; and notwithstanding the disparity Of
the distance, 1t is estimated that the ex-
pense of each will be about the same, ma
king, in the aggregate, four millions OF dol
lars. The object aud tendency of that
measure of the canal commissioners must
be obvious aud policy as well as justice,
concurred in recommending its adoption.
BY operating in both directions. solemn
pledge is given Of our determination to f.
nish the whole canal, sectional jealousies
are allayed; the advantages arising from
pecuniary expenditures are impartialiy
dispensed aud every advance ofthe work,
in either way, will facilitate communica-
ton. The completion Of the middle sec
tion has already opened markets for Ter
tile and extensive region. The expense
Of conveying barrel of -four by land to
Albany from the country about the Cayu
ga lake, was more than twice as much as
the expectation Of one from New York to
Liverpool; and the difference between the
former and the present cost OF conveyance
will moi only remunerate the manufacturer,
hut afford an Increased compensation to
the agriculhiraIjst, independently Of the
rise Of The commodity in value, from its
being furnished with good market.
" 1t is believed that our Atlantic conn
TRY will soon be supplied with salt from
the west, cheaper than from abroad, and
the revenue from the salt works, appropri.
ated TO the construction Of the canal, al
ready exceed the most favorable estimate,
and shows copclusiyely the importance Of
