LEGISLATURE OF New YoRK.-Leave of absence,
for different terms has been granted TO several mem
bers of Assembly.
The house proceeded to consider the Pilot system.
Mr.. r. w. Tucker said that since the last time the
bills had been under consideration, he had with the
aid of several of the New York delegation, and other
members Of the House prepared series Of amend
ments to the bill reported by the Select Committee
The general features Of it were that the whole system
should be thrown open to competition: il left the
power of appointment with the Governor; the board of
commissioners consist Of three of the port wardens
and two from the marine insurance companies and
chamber of commerce: every boat to have two ap-
prentlces, who TO serve five years, the years Of
service TO be consecutive. There were several other
provisions for the protection Of the pilots, &c, which
Mr.. t. offered as substitute for the whole bill.
Mr.. Bradsh said, the bill reported by the Select
Committee, did not meet his approbaton-it contain
ed the most odious feature of the present systematic
monopoly.
Mr.. Zabriskie hoped that the several bills and
amendments would be refe red to the Select Commit
tee and the New York delegation, whom he was con-
vinced would report bill which would satisfy the
wishes of all
