Mr. DICKINSON offered resolution calling upon
the Comptroller for report concerning the cost,
&c. of two pieces of ornamental rubble wall be-
tween Albany and Troy. The resolution was laid
on the table by party vote.
The Committee of the Whole then resumed the
consideration of the bill to aid the construction of
the New-Yorll and Erie Railroad. This was de-
bated by Messrs. PORTER and FAULKNER the lat
ter gentleman proving that while the Southern
tier of Counties had been forced bear their share
of the burd ems of the State improvements, they
had received none of its advantages, aud that if
the whole three millions were given to them 1t
would not repay them the amount which they had
contributed for the benefit of the other portions of
the St ate. The Senate soon went into Executive
Session, and then adjourned.
In the ASSEMBLY, petitions were presented for
aid to the N. Y. and Erie Railroad, for and against
a repeal of the Exemption law, of citizens Of New
interest of the assessment for single year exceed
ing the value Of the land on which it is made,) a
remonstrance from Peter Esquirol against the bill
to reduce tie fees upon the inspection of tobacco
and against the bill to abolish compulsory nspec-
ton, and for other objects.
Mr.. RICHARDS reported in favor Of authorizing
and compelling the Utica and Schenectady Rail-
road to carry freight. 1t was sent to Committee
of the Whole.
The bill to provide for the payment of Contract
or, came up for its third reading. Mr.. STRONG
demonstrated earnestly against this act as the COM
mencement of the destruction Of the Common
School Fund, step most unjust and uncalled for,
and one which he implored the friends Of Educa-
ton not to take. Mr.. FULLER said he was as de-
sirous of paying contractors as any one; but he
would as soon think of robbing church to pay d
debt as to plumber the School Fund for that pur-
pose Mr.. HA1eHr said that if necessary for the
payment of the debts Of the State he would go for
robbing churches and graveyards; those debts
must be paid at all events Mr.. Brooks asked Of
the majority what was the meaning of their loud
boastngs and bravadoes about the improved credit
and Frightened resources of the State, it, as by this
bill they do, they confess that the Treasury of the
State was not responsible for draft of $4,000 TO
pay interest? Was all their triumph so baseless,
he asked that rather than test its sincerity they
are to resort to- the School Fund THE bill was
passed, Ga to 81.
Mr.. WHEELER called up his resolution directing
our Senator'S and Representatives to do all they
can for the relief of Amos Kendall, and proceeded
in speech to explain the circumstances which
had brought him into difficulty Mr.. STRONG said
he hoped the Wings would not oppose the resolu-
ton. as it might seem ungenerous to do any thing
which should deprive the Loco-Foco party of the
invaluable aid of Mr.. Kendall in the electioneer-
ing campaign which was near at hand. The reso-
,on was then adopted.
Mr.. FLINT introduced bill to provide for the
construction of the N. Y and Erie Railroad by the
State. 1t was ordered printed.
Mr.. N1cHoLL called for the question on the print
ing of the report OF the Receiver of the CONNER
cial Bank of New-York Mr.. THOMPSON said the
report should be made public as it would disclose
a series Of vllauies record of crimes and shame
of men connected with that institution. Mr. AL
LEN thought Committee of investigation should
be appointed if this was the case, to which the
report might be referred. Considerable debate
ensued and the report was referred to the Com
mittee on printing.
Mr.. NlcHoLL gave notice of bill TO prohibit
Vice Chancellors and Circuit Judges and Judges
of Superior Courts from taking fees. The bill to
reform the Court of Common Pleas then came up
and was discussed. The House soon adjourned
until Thursday morning.
20 Lecture will be delivered this evening at
the Washington street Church, Brooklyn, by the
Rev. Mr.. SMILEY, of kentucky, on the Great
Mammoth Cave in that State. From the reputa-
ton of the Lecturer Us an attractive public speak
er well as from the subject matter Of the lecture
itself, we doubt not the house will be full, and the
audience amusipgly entertained as we'll as instruct
ed.
% There will be ell interesting exhibition of
100 Orphan Children from the Long Island Farms
at the Broadway Tabernacle on Thursday evening,
March 3, at o'clock, for the BENEFIT of the Neu-
York Clothing Society. We presume nothing
more need be said to enlist The cooperation of the
friends ofthe poor.
