We have seen that the Senate Of this State has taken
position upon the question Of leasehold estates. The
Senate u divided upon the issue Joshua A. Spencer
may be regarded the lusous advocate of the claims
Of the Patroon One DIVISION headed by him, utterly
and uncompromisngly opposed to the proposition to al
low the tenanty TO set want Of title the part Of
the Van Renssalsars The other division Is anxious to
comply with the demands Of the tenants, and il has,
through Senator Wright, after express investigation,
presented three bills, mentioned yesterday for the
consideration Of the Senate smbodyng various pro-
positions, and suggesting udicous remedy for the re-
lief Of the tenantry These bills were merely
yesterday, without report from the committee they
were not permitted to be formally introduced This
ring these bills back to the committee and nstructnx
the committee to make written report the Senate
nator Wright then asked leave q Introduce The y hi
peculiar and modern discussions sn.usd
upon the proposition, ever listened to- During the de-
bate conciliatory substitute to the above resolution
offered by BY Mr. Talcott and it was lost BY ami
the bill back the committees would Be- to delay pro
ceedings and the object undoubtedly to defer and
ter very exciting debate the permission asked bv Sc.
nator Wright to introduce the bills granted alter
second reading nsy were made .ns special order Tor
tual, until they are finally passed or rejected. II the
act concerning tenures passed by the Legislature
that the PATRON has right title to this domain
will virtually recognise the validity Of the title Of the
tenants for the time being and will exempt them from
the payment Of all rents and tributes, while the great
question is pending in court Of law. Ii civil court
shall finally have this great question OF
title probably all the distinguished legal talent in the
country will be retained by the several ltigants From
careful appreciation Of the minues denotaton OF the
of Senators when vital points at ISSUE
and from strict note Of their conduct at proper times
have concluded that this most important and most judi
cous bill authorizing the tenants to set up want OF
title by Landlords prohibiting the creation of leases
In future for longer period than iteen years. Will pass
the Senate and the House also think that the bill to
abolish distress for cent will pass This will totally an
initiate the present system of leasing and conveying
upon all property qualification Indeed, as precedent
il will be clearly a revolutionary MEASURE.
Mr. TalcQt reported against the bill to appoint CON-
mssioners settle the affairs Of the Bank Of Rochester,
the committee stated in their report that the Board OF
Directors Of this Bank had jurisdiction over affairs OF
this nature; the report was tabled
The House agreed to take the question upon the APP
portonment bill tomorrow at IL M The House was
in committee nearly the whole day upon the bills TO- re
duce the fare certain railroads action was had.
Rain has been falling all days the river s swolen and
the ice disappearing very fast The various craft
making ready for the spring navigation and the age Of
energy and business 10 just opening.
AS this anti question has arrived at crisis, and
it 10 matter of tremendous importance, propose, in
future letters without reference to the opinion Of
God has endowed me- to send you running glance at
the position Of the PATRON the proceeds OF the domain
and expended-the occasion Of the opposition in the
Legislature to the claims of the tenantsthe distress
and anguish of the tenants term used by Spencer to-
day)-the investigating committee-the effect whether
for adverse to the tenanty Of the settlement of the
dculty-the probable political influence Of the tenant
