OPENING OF THE SESSION.

The two Houses of the State Legislature as
sembled yesterday. The Senate elected new
Clerk in the person of Mr.. Pennybacker; after
which, the majority being apparently not yet OF
mind as to the choice of apresiding officer,
adjournment was effected without perectlng the
business of organization.
In the House of Delegates most of the day was
occupied with the election of two of the subordi-
nate officers. The members of the dominant par
ty manifested fixed determination, with only four
or five dissentients, to eject every Wing officer, no
matter how unimportant his office or how faithful
his services. Unfortunately, q few Wing men,
bers were persuaded to play into their hands,
Col. Ward, an excellent officer, who had served the
HOUSE unexceptionably for at least ten years, was
ruthlessly superseded as Sergeant-at-Arms, and
Mr.. Chambers, the late I'd Door-keeper, was voted
Some palation was given to this last little piece of
prescription by the election of a very worthy
young man, in whose behalf nearly all the Wing
members finally united
The Governors message was received by the
House at a very late hour. The reader will find
it in our columns. We have no space for farther
comment than this, that we find in it much to APP
PROVE and less to condemn than in any of its pre-
decessors during the last five years.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The leading points of interest to the American
reader, in the Canada intelligence, are the friend
ly reception of Mr. Rves by the President of
France, the remarkable quie1ness with which the
proposed annexation of Canada to the United
States is regarded by the English press, and the
new resolution of Plus TX. to delay his return to
Rome.
1t will be seen that the reply of Louis Napoleon
to Mr. Rives address, instead of being couched in
equivocal language as the Geographic report might
have led us to suppose, in fact conveys very de-
licate and felicitous compliment to our country
and to President Taylor. 1t is impossible to APP
prehend that, when such sentiments are expressed
on one side, and, we may readily presume, fully
recprocated on the other there will be any serious
misunderstanding between the two republics.
The New York Express remarks:
Our relations with France not definitely settled by
the reception Of the American Minister by the Presi
dent of the French Republic. The French Government
before receiving Mr. Rives asked apology from the
United States for OF the last letersthe very last
we believe-written by Mr. Clayton, Diminishing M.
Poussin That demand has been very respectfully de-
cined by the Secretary OF State, and with this refusal to
apologize, the correspondence stands Since the demand
for apology was made, however, Mr.. RiyeS has been
courteously received by Louis Napoleon and cannot,
therefore, suppose that anything serious will grow ont OF
such refusal The more the French Government weighs
the conduct OF their late minister, the convinced
they be OF the wholly inexcusable language used
by him towards the Secretary OF State, and through
him towards the Government OF the United States.

"Monseur lie President-ln presenting to you the let

intentions otmy Government as well as to my own most
earnest desires
The President Of the Republic declared to the Minis
ter of the United States that Notwithstanding the faults
which it right to admit both sides he willingly
took the first step towards the establishment OF good
harmony between the countries and that suscepti
bhty which would be, perhaps natural with respect to

rious motive regarded elder republic. lie added,
