 The separation and independence ot the legislative and executive branches of our gov eminent were once deemed the pillars of pub lie safety. but are now to be broken down by the base sycophants of power and patronage F Distressinr Event.-We learn from the Courier and Enquirer, that the painful appre- hensions that had been entertained Ot some unfortunate persons having been buried under the ruins of the late fire in Gold street. are hnhappily realized. On digging into the rub bish. the workmen perceived an unusually disagreeable odour, and shortly after, the mutilated flesh and burnt bones of two hu- man bodies! The most extraordinary part oft is. that there has been no public advertise

 The opinion of the Evening Post of the l Albany Argus :-
 They are a set of creeping. designing. l dissembling creatures, who have grown fat on l the drippings of unclean bank legislation--a 1 knot of cat-paced, sly faced, cringing. artful, the legislature, smiling and lowing and sba- king hands with all they meet. and disclosing their schemes in broken whispers, eked out with Knowing shrugs and n0ds-they are men who strive to turn all political questions into lever to raise up and set in motion their own nasty selfish projects. or this cabal we be- lieve the state printer to be the soul and cen- ire, and we leave to him the enviabe task of naming his associates"
 4 Ride. Gratis.-We learn that few days sincc, while a young lady was crossing one of our streets in the vicinity of the State House, which affords the boys an opportunity to prac- lice their favorite, but exceedingly annoying amusements of c0asting, she was struck with a sled. which came with prodigious force. tripped up her heels. and laid her fairly on her back, as sailor would say, " fore and aft," across the sled. The poor boy instead ofbe- ing overjoyed, was sadly frightened at such an unexpected accession of fright-but the | impetus which the vehicle had already acqui. red was so great. that he found it impossible to check its speed :; he therefore wisely judg- ed it best to make the most of his bargain. and with admirable presence of mind, steered the sled with great care, avoiding all obstacles. at the same time bawlng out with the lungs of Stentor, "Hold on Ma'am, hold on keep your feet we'll up, and there is no dan ger." The double-loa sled sped with the velocity of an arrow-and the astonished damsel. who never travelled at such a rate before. and probably never will again. even on aSail road. or in an air balloon, found her self before she had hardly tineto take breath. or scream for assistance. sAfely landed at che bottom Of the hill Mercantile Journal.
