shore down the bay for week past, having been
cut through with ice, and run ashore to prevent
sinking, was yesterday f1oated off by the aid of
Captain Taylor's submarine camels, brought to
the city, and raised on the screw dock. Her re-
pairs had so far progressed last night, that she
was expected to resume her regular trips this
morning. Two steamboats, had been endeavor-
ing TO move her, for a week, without success.
beautiful bark was launched from the ship
yard of Mr. L B. Gully, on Thursday afternoon.
She is about 220 tons burthen, and is frst-class
vessel in all respects, and will fully sustain the
high character of her builders, as well as the
reputation of our port for fast sailing vessels.
She has been built for VIM. E. Hooper, Esq, OF
this city.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. o. 1S4S
The native organ, of this city, has recently
fallen into strange hands, in consequence of the
pecunlary difficulties of its ostensible proprie-
tors, and general falling out between the men,
bers of the firm. This morning, the sheet is

head as publisher and editor. Various rumors
are aioat in relation to difficulties between the
old and new proprletors, and II is said that on
Monday, another paper will be issued by the
former, VIII CHI is to be dubbed the True Sun
while the original paper will be continued under
the former title. Philadelphia, therefore, stands
chance OF being in this respect placed
footing with New York.

ALBANY, Jan. II, 1S4S.
The Public Printing-Ertension of the Chancel-
lor's Term Of Ofice-Legislative affairs.
The printing bill has passed the lower House.
The wing party, which has professed to enter
tain wish to have the government administered
upon principles of economy, has repealed law
which gave the public printing to the lowest bid
der, without reference to his political sent-
ments, and has passed special act, entitled can
act to restore the central regency to their ancient
and peculiar privileges This act authorises
the Comptroller, the Treasurer, the Secretary of
State, and the Attorney General, to appoint a
State Printer !; and 1t may be regarded proba-

If, however, the voice and influence OF the Comp
troller can avail, this outrage will not be COM
mltted. That public indulgence by which the
senior editor Of the Journal has been enabled to
has now been Withdrawn. He no longer pos
sesses the confidence of any party. His ap-
pointment as printer to the State would be
an error and misfortune. IL humbly hope
that no such appointment will be made by the
n honorable gentlemen VINO compose the Board of
Commissioners If it is made, they will have
occasion to deplore it-better give II to polti-
cal ponent than to Mr.. Thurlew Weed.
About the passage of this bill to-day, there are
some lncldentt which are dlshonorable to the
majority in the lower House. The bill having
been read third time, Mr.. Walsh moved that
ii be recommitted to the select committee, with
instructions to insert a clause making it lmperd-
tive upon such contractor or contractors tor the
printing, to pay to the respective operatives II
ployed by them upon such State contracts, the
highest wages given by private individuals in the
respective occupations to which they be long, and
making any violation OF such provision for
fixture of the said contract or contracts
Mr.. Coe, whlg, rose to a question OF order;
he submitted that a motion to recommlt after the
bill had been read third time, was not in order.
The Speaker decided that the point of order
raised by the gentleman from Livingston, was
not well taken.
Mr.. Coe appealed from this decision, but with
drew his appeal on reflection.
The proposition Of Mr.. Walsh was then de-
feated by the following party vote Ayes, So;
motion TO recommlt the bill, with instruc-
tions to amend, to limit the contract to two
years, instead of four, was also defeated; when
the bill passed by the following vote:-Ayes, 70;
nays, 32-l2S.
Azor Taber and others have asked for the pas
sage of law extending the terms of office of the
Chancellor and Judges of the old Supreme Court.
The petitioners (among whom are John Van
Buren,, Samuel Stevens, and X. w. Peckham)
remark that the expe ctatlon entertained at the
time of the adoption of our present State constl-
tuition, and the reorganization of the judiciary
under it, that the Chancellor and Judges of the
Supreme Court would be enabled, during one
year from the first Monday of July last, to hear
and determine all, or nearly all, the causes which
had accumulated in their respective courts, will
not, IL is now ascertained, be realized 1t
