year been exceedingly large compared with previous

his efforts to do away with the vast quantity of foreign
coins which have for many years been in circulation

Meeting OF the Senate.

In accordance with the proclamation of the
Governor, the Senate Of this State will convene
at twelve o'clock to-day, in Albany, in extraor-
binary session.
The object of the session is to confirm certain
nominations of the Governor, of judges, to fill
vacancies in the supreme court, in consequence
of the present judges having been elected to the
bench of the court of appeals.
There is every probability of the session being
protracted and exciting, inasmuch as it is cons-
dered by many, that under the new constitution,
the Governor has no authority to make certain
nominations
