Our Observation-Disclosures.

Ncw.York was brought TO close at T. VI. on
Tuesday, having continued l26 days.
The Argus Of yesterday gives g list of32l Acts
passed. and promises more to-day. They arc o.
course nearly all whst are termed Private Bills
TO change names alter town nes grant relief.
incorporate compouies, alter Charters, &c. &c.
We give below the titles OF all those we deem
Of general interest.
This Legislature has passed two acts which
we trust will be productive Of good-that direct
ing the erection OF a new State Prison in the
Northern Mining Region of the State, with the
purpose OF employing convicts in mining and
making Iron; and the bill providing for the cleo
ton henceforth of Canal Commissioners by the
People-four this year, who are 10 draw lots for
terms of one, two, three, and four years respec.
lively, and one every year hereafter. This vii
tend TO breg our Public Works more directly
under the cognizance aud control OF the People
and ultimately 20 dispsl the gross errors in re-
gard to their cost and productivencss which have
been assiduously prop4ga;ed. The acts allowing
the Utica and Schenectady Railroad to carry
Freight in winter, appropriating $4,000 10 ex.
tend the State Lunatic Asylum at Utica and
$4,000 to establish Normal School at Albany
(for the special education of Common School
Teachers) are also of the right sort. The New
York Police Reform bill and tho act reducing
and regulating the fees of Surrogates, also de-
serve commendaton. The act granting State
aid to the three Medical Colleges, cannot SO
confidently approve, though we do rot condemn
it. The acis appropriating 100000 to Canal
Contractors in part payment OF their claims Tor
damages on account Of the Suspension Of work
on the Unfinished Canals, and imposing an ad,
ditional direct tax to pay the interest thereon,
seem to us 10 conflict with ;hc subsequent act
appropriating $3.50, GOO to continue certain parts
ofthese Works, or as the bill says TO preserve
them. However, VIC are glad TO see any move.
msnt toward the completion of the Canals.
The Legal Profession have by great persevcr-
ance succeeded i'll securing the passage Of new
Fec Bill, restoring portion of the fees cut off by
the bill Of l640. lawyer estimates the aver
age ncrces, of fees at only Is per cent, but we
are confident 1t is much higher. We cannot say
whether this Is right or not, being unfamiliar with
the subject, but we can hardly believe it will be
popular.
Attempts 70 amend tho State Constitution by
Legislative action have consumed much tins
this session, aud amendments proposing re-
striction of the power OF the Legislature TO con-
tract debts, and reorganization of the Supreme
and Chancery Courts have been elaborated for th'
decision OF the People in two successive Elections.
This is mtepded to defeat the movement IN iavot
of Constitutional Convention, but ought moi
to have that effect. The great radical evils en-
bodied in our present Constituton-the inconss-
tent, anomalous limitation OF the Right Of Sui.
frape, the formation of Senate in such manner
as to stihe instead of expressing the Popular
a Will, and the gross inequality of Representation
# In the Assembly. arising from the failure TO pre-
scribe uniform District System, SO that a part
of our electors now vote for thirteen members,
and a par; for four, three, two and one rcspcc-
tively-,hese, aud many other defects demand
early and thorough Reform. They will never be
corrected except bv u Constitutional Convention
