! ALBANT, REP - lcto
The Ambient question was again reached IN the
Assembly on Monday and Mr.. TILDEs completed
his speech. 1t was carefully prepared, but ire
mendously labored production II was intended as
foil TO the home thrusts OF HARRIS, but proved
most Intellectual shield At lis close-and may
here say was delivered 10 mere handful OF mem
bers and fewer speciaiors-not soul tell disposed
say word in reply and the question vas al once
taken. The SPEAKER has rot yet announced the
! Select Committee OF esh. which has been ordered
TO be raised. l understand. however. that IILDks
is TO be Chairman.
The Militia business was talked over in the As
senby today. WINFIELD ScoTT SHERWOOD,
who, Ike the grea. man who bears wo-thirds OF his
name, has felt the burdens OF an epauletied coat,
made set speech OF over hours length on the
/ following string Of resolutions
Whereas, Constitution of the United States repose
the power 20 organize and discipline the militia OF
the United States in Congress alone And whereas the
laws passed By TIA, body than rfly years since 70
accomplish and carry the design OF the trainers Of
the Constitution IN this respect are not suited 70 me
present wants or condition OF the country and are ex-
tremely defective Therefore
ResoiUsd if the Senate concur That our Senators IN
Congress be instructed Representatives request
ed TO farther the immediate passage OF law proviang
for reorganizng aning and discipining the militia the
Cped States n such shall De Most lkey 10

RGsolved, Gfthe Senate concuT) That in the opinion
OF this Legislature such law should provide for CLASH
flying the militia according TO age for decreasing ma
terelly the number who shall be compelled 10 perform
military service, and for arming the militia
ResOlued Of the Senate concur That the citizen soldier
should receive fair pepsation for his time and eN
penses in attending the drills and inspections OF the
! militia
Resolced Of the Senate concur That the Governor be
requested to forward copy OF these resolutions 20 the
President of the United States Secretary OF War and TO
each Of our Senators and Representatives in Congress-
Many OF his ideas were very good especially
those relating 10 the miserable contempuoeness tlf
may coin word OF the present system. But he
echoes the opinion OF the Governor and AoJutan'
! General that provide for al enrolment merely,
would be unconstitutional. Bah As IT the present
system OF corn-stalks, hoe handles ard umbrellas
compliance with law which requires
well disciplined Militia. ready for service And
il we have thus for years evaded that law, why not
do it in a manner tina, will afford actual relief? l

Colones and Generals. in the Legislature for much

ever until the Convention meets
The bill in relation 10 Auctions in your City,
which has been under discussion for the past three
days, was perfected to-day and will most probably
become law. AS near as | can comprehend its
provisions-not being very familiar with the sub
iect-it reduces considerable amount The duties
now paid by Auctioneers 10 the State. II Is sup
posed that the result will be permanent detrl-
ment 10 the State Revenue, bat that the increased
business in consequence of the law Will make up
all deficiency. Provisions have also been eDgraited
! in the bill TO meet the of the abominable mock
auction shops; and if the law passes, and is enorc-
ed, | think the swindling vagabonds Will be COM

voutly 10 be wished
The Senates bill in relation 10 the Public Print
ing, has at length been hatched by the Assembly g
Committee after most aborious incubation OF three
weeks or more. And oh how changed The orig.
iDal mother would not know her own offspring. VI
SO doubtful species is il that the Committee have nc

as one OF Gov Wrights Messages, TO explain which

two Old Hunkers in the House, who very much
afraid their counties will be cut up and apprehend
the Barnburners will hold this rod an terr0rem over
their heads, make them go straight on the Print
ing bill. But we shall see.
Speaking of new counties-lhree of the projects
which skeiched the other day have succeeded IN
breaking the shell in which they were enclosed,
and have come to daylight. In the Senate, bills
have been reported TO erect the new counties OF
| SCHUYLER and CoSEwANGo. Both of them are TO
be carved out of Erie, Chautauque and Cettaraugus
The former is for the especial and exclusive 0eneh

has found favor is the County OF USADILLA, which
will be compelled to hoe row against the rival
projects of WRIGHT OeUAGo and DEPOSIT Coun-
ties, and the No Divisionsts. 1t will scarcely go
through M'S yer.
The bill to divide the Sixteenth Ward of your

The Senate had another lick to-day al the ever
lasting State Printing, and certain Senators talked
