ANrI-RENT PROCEEDINGS IN ALHANY.-The At
toney General has authorized John Van Buren,,
Esq, TO commence suite in behalf OF the State
eject the Livingstons from the Manor of Living
ston, III Columbia county. We would advise the
tenants of the patents Of Iardenburg and George
Clark to procure the same authority, and fee
lawer lawyers to proceed once with the nves-
tigation. The question of manoral titles should
now be settled satisfactorily and forever. A
thorough legal investigation Is demanded, and no.
thing but that can bring tins unhappy controversy
10 an end. The Attorney General Is commenc-
ing two other suits, one IN Albany, and the
other in Ransselaer county. The numerous eject
ment suits commenced by the Van Ransse-
laers against the tenants are legally dead and
they cannot get them restored 10 life again.
