ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGISLATURE two branches of the Legislature ol this Commonwealth convened in their respective Chambers in the State House in this city, Wednesday January 4th at eleven o'clock.
 In the Senate, as was anticipated, the Loco Focos had ulsway. Mir Leland, from Bristol County, who avowed that he had never been member of any Legislative body, and who clearly showed the facH by his ignorance and incontempence to perform the duties of the ofce was elected President of the Sen ate. The former excellent Wing Clerk Charles Cal ties of that office, was passed overland Lewis Jos selyn, late conductor Of minor Loco Foco paper in this city and person who had not single quolifica ton for the office, was chosen Clerk.
 In the House, the Whg candidate, Luther s. Cush-
 ing, Esq was elected Clerk, on the first ballot, by majority of three votes. There were three several baltotngs for Speaker without resulting in an cleo ton. On examining the result of the ballotng, it will be found that 35l votes were each of the two first ballotings. This is the whole number of members elected to the House. Every member was present. except MT Bancroft, of Auburn, in Worces- ter county, a Whig member, who is known to be in the city, but was not present. Notwithstanding his absence the whole number is made up, by a person named Nash, Locotoco from What'ey in Franklin he has no certificate of eectlon nor any other dOcu- ment showing the least shadow of evidence to sustain his claim. MT White, the Whie candidate for Rep. resenta,ive from Whatley, and who, if the ballots cas, in that town could be properly purged and cor rected, would be found to have been eleced-was present in the House, yesterday, but had too much delcacy to offer himself to vote, under the Crcun- stances On the first baotng, there were 35l votes; l73 Whies, l73 Loco. scattering, Second. 35l votes; l74 Whg, l75 Loco, scat. Third, $50 votes -l75 Whig, l75 Loco. 1member not voting. The House ndi. at 5 P. M. pending the discussion of the right of Whaely interoping Locofoco vote, till 10 o'clock tomorrow.
 On Thursday morning disposal was made of the claimants from Whaely, and the House was ready to ballot for Speaker, and complete their organization This is the latest information received.
 Ps-On Friday morning ttesWhigs succeeded 1 in electing DANIEL P. KING, Speaker-a good Whig by majority over Lewis Williams (Locofoco Apo. lition,, and maj over all scattering.
 There is little doubt of Morton's election.
