ALBANY, Nov. q, 1874.
Closiwg Of Navigatiom- Political Afairs Yes or
or No." in day or too.
DEAR SlR:-
Navigation Is about closed-the Columbia and
Swallow have literally pushed their way up this
morning, and expect to leave at II M. In addition
to the cold weather, which has been severe, we
have had fall of about inches of snow, which
has already brought forth numberless seighs in
the matter Of which Albany is very justly celebra-
ted. t
In my las. neglected. amongst the names Of the
candidates for cerkship OF the-Assembly, 10 name
Freeborn G.. Jewett, ex-member Of Congress, OF
Munroe county, and Mr.. Wsles, of Troy, ex-clerk.
The contest will be between Jewett and Rose.
Chancellor Walworth has gone to Washington,
il is presumed TO see about the seat on the bench
Of the Supreme Court. In the event of his appoint
ment,the next anxious inquiry is, who will be Chan
cell0r? If Gov. Bouck makes the appointment, il
will be Chief Justice Nelson; il Gov. Wright, the
Chief will share the chances with MIR. Paige, late
Senator, and for many years Reporter Of the Court
of Chancery, and Mr.. Assistant Vice Chancellor
Sanford, OF your city. II Chief Justice Nelson
gives up, there will be two vacancies on the bench
Of the Supreme Court,as Mr.. Justice Bronson will,
it is said, soon resign on account Of his continued
| bad health. He is learned and capable Judge,
and one whose place will be with difficulty sup
Piled. Judges Grdley and Willard are on the qAi
| vipe for the succession.
| AS there are now two vacancies in the U. s.
| Senate, Gov. Wright and Gov. Tallmadge both
having resigned the party leaders, great and small,
| are IN terrible way. Mr.. Foster, President pro
tenn Of the State Senate, has gone TO w ashington,
| doubtless with an appointment from Gov Bouck
| in his pocket; and il IL rumOred that ex Governor
ex-senator Marcy will soon fellow suit These
appointments are, however, only temporary-the
Legislature electing the Senators in February
Here will be another great contest; Col. Young,
| Gen. Dix, c. G. Cambrelllng, Gov Dickinson,
Gov. Marcy, Mr.. Foster, Admiral Hoffman, and
Gen. Barker, lAt'orney General), being IN the
a prediction, that if Messrs. Hoffman and Barker
are candidates, they will beat the field by long
odds.
In my last closed in such haste, that neglect
ed to say, that we have well built and commo-
dious Amphltheatre here, and at present there lie
| said TO be an excellent company-Otto Motty is
the star, with a number Of lesser hghta The Mu-
scum Saloon, under the management Of Mr.. Rice
OF the Buffalo Theatre, is also said to have ex-
cellent stock company, with Charles Howard as o
star and what is more to the managers, both are
| doing good business, as ! am Informed, my en-
4 gagements preventing me from visiting them
ls You have doubtless seen the account OF an at
tack of the Indians, or Anti-renters, on Judge Liv-
ngston, and the subsequent attack upon the Indians
| by the Sheriff of Schoharie CO.. Two Anti's,who
.
| bail One of them, residing in the town OF Rerne,
in this county, has since died Of ipiures received
on his head, by the possee. Yours, &c.
HAMILTON.
| New AND REMARKABLE MRNAaERIE-A very
curious menagerie has been opened at lag Fulton
street and II Ann street. Ii contains some animals
never seen in this country and additions are to be
| made to it as soon as possible. There is also a
ring attached to it, in which is seen the novelspec-
| tacle Of Lapland poney ridden by Borneo ou-
rang outang, dressed and riding like veteran cir
Gus rider. camel from Mount Sinai, is also there,
on which children and ladies can ride, after the
manner ofthe Jewish ladies when travelling through
the wilderness. 1t is most pleasing and inslruc-
tive exhibition, and all parents should take their
families there. The charge is only l2i cents; the
place is well warmed, ventilated, and the separate
eyrance for ladies is a. 149 Fulton street xt door
| to Coolidge & Cutters drug store.
FooT RAcE-It will be seen by the advertise
| ment in another column, that there is to be a race
for 81 600, of twelve miles, to take place on the
| Beacon Course, Hoboken, on the 18th inst. The
principal competitors will, most probably, be Green
halgh and Gilderslseve, the latter being now
| convenient to the course, in severe train
gle, as it is well known that Gildersleeve was out
of condition at the last race The friends Of Steep
rock, the Indian, refuse to have him run again
this fall.
SERVICE OF PLATE.-The passengers ON board
| the Royal steamer Britannia, on her late voyage
from Liverpool to Boston, were so highly grati6ed
with the conduct OF Capt. Hewitt, during very
boisterous voyage, that they voted him piece Of
plate The plate was purchased in this city, and
three days since forwarded to Boston. Captain
Hewitt leaves again for England, this noon.
STILL At lT-The Aibany Argus is still work
ing away at the effort of explaining the cause Of
the extraordinary discrepancy between the vote IN
this State for Mr.. Polk and that for Mr.. Wright II
is labor lost. The matter has been finally settled
| in the public mind
