LAW Reform.

The paragraphs in the Queens Speech
commencing " important changes" in "the
administration of Justice in the several de-
partments of Law and Equity" will ma
turally attract attention. 1t is not often
that so direct and reformatory suggestion
is found among the ambiguous platitudes of
a Royal Speech. The fact proves that the
subject of Law Reform has taken deep
hold on the public mind of Great Britain,
and that vital Reforms are there demanded
with unanimity and emphasis which will
not bear to be triAed with.
We commend the circumstance to the
attention of our legislators at Albany
The movement thus chronicled is a direct
product of the efforts for Legal Reform in
our own State. The Constitutional Con-
vention, in its impulse and its results, gave
the first authentic expression to this inn
pulse. The Commission of Pleadings and
Practice was its legitimate result. We
have now proceeded half way with the
Reform of our Code of Practice. Shall
we turn back? Shall we stop! Shall we
go through
Members of the Legislature if you
would deserve and secure the gratitude OF
your constituents, stop your idle debates
on matters pertaining to Congress, take up
the last Report of the Practice Commits
sioners, and go through with it Don't
think of an Extra Session-the People re-
volt at it. But improve the time allotted
you, and give us the balance of the Code /!
You cannot do it too soon.

Notes. With this he can buy Fuel, Gro
ceries, Provisions, and most articles he re-
quires. But if he owes note, he finds 1t
in Bank and must pay it in 'Bankable;' II
he buys furniture OF other goods at auc-
ton, he is notified that No uncurrent mo-
ney is received; : and he must have cur
rent to pay his rent with at all events. 1t
is not the loss by discount of six or eight
cents per week that he feels, bat the an
noyance of having his money refused; the
bother of being sent over town in quest OF
shaving-shop when he pressingly needs
his time for other business. Uncurrent
Money is a nuisance; and, since most
other cities contrive to avoid it, we see no
good reason why New York may not do
likewise. Let our ordinary Currency be
made 'Bankable,' so that the labOrer's
wages will pay his rent. and we will not
ask whether it is convertible into specie or
not.
The Jobbing Merchants of our City
have undertaken the task of making all
the notes of our State and its neighborhood
Bankable in our City, and are now getting
up Bank designed to be to this City and
State what the Suffolk is to Boston and to
New England. OF course, time will be
required to effect this object, and some phi
vate interests will be injuriously affected
by the change proposed. 1t is possible
that temporary contraction of our State
Currency will be experienced, though we
think it cannot approach in extent the cal
culations of the Country Bank interest.
But no lasting good is ever effected without
temporary inconvenience, and we feel very
sure that in the end City and Country will
agree in rejoicing over the success of the
movement for a Uniform Currency.

BILLS.
A Bill was introduced for the more etfectual
prevention Of the sale of lottery tickets.
A debate took place on the question whether
the decision made by the Lieutenant Governor
mir. Church. is correct in deciding that the bill
for selling Saratoga and Sacketts Harbor hall'
road required a vote of two thirds OF the 5ena-
tors as approprating public property to private
purposes.
After long debate the Senate, by tie vote, re-
versed the decision, the Lieut.. Governor declar.
ing that the bill required two third vote. Ad'

sciency of the Navy. Referred.
The House resumed the consideration OF the
bill reported yesterday from the Naval Commit
tee for mail steamers from Philadelphia and Nor
folk to Antwerp and from California to China,
the question being on the motion TO refer to toe
Committee OF the whole on the STATE VI '"o
Union. .,,-
Mr. BococK favored the bill, claiming that this
was the plan of an efficient navy to be used when
wanted for war; and in peace for the useful pur-
pose of carrying mails, and costing Government
nothing The proposition now before the House
was the cheapest ever submitted TO the American
Congress and he claimed that the right to estao'
lish the line was under the navy power in the
Contribution.
Mr. MILLER opposed the bill as unconstitutional,
and said that as in the case of the River and
Harbor bill. combination was formed, having
regard TO sections to press through this measure.
He protested against its being urged at this late
period of the session.
NJ STANTON of Tenn. withdrew bis motion to
refer and moved the bill be put on its passage.
NJ MILLER moved to reterit b the Committee
If the Whole on the State of the Union,-and
this was agreed 10 Yeas l56. Nays 81.
The bills for the support Of the Military Acade'
nv and for payment of Revolutionary and other
Pensions were passed.
Mr. BAYLr made an earnest appeal to gentle
men 10 remain here and not fall into the condition
of Yesterday, when they were compelled to rise
and adjourn for want Of quorum If they will
NOT stay and keep up quorum it would be utterly
impossible to get through with the business OF
Congress, and he gave notice that every time the
House shall be found without quorum he would
have the roll called, that if Congress adjourns
without passing the Appropriation DIS ana an
extra session shall be necessary, the country may
know whose fault it is in seeing the names OF the
absentees. =,
The House went again into Committee, and
took up the bill making appropriations for the sup
pors OF the Indian Department.
After being amended the Committee rose
when the bills for support of Indian Department
ard for the payment of Navy Pensions, were
passed. Provision is made for a reorganization OF
the Indian Department in all its ramifcations, to
take place on the first q July next.

The Two Curreusies.

We are no idolaters of specie-not even
as basis of currency-that is to say, we
do not deem the convertibility of currency
into specie on demand, the infallible test
of its utility nor even of its solvency. We
could be content with an inconvertible cur
rency, provided it possessed the essential
qualities of uniformity of value, as mea-
sured by the products generally of labor,
and equality, as measured by itself. We
could imagine very good and very useful
currency whereof ten dollar bill would
not always command an eagle nor ten sill
yer dollars: but we are not so easily re-
conciled to tho idea of Currency whereof
one ten dollar bill is not the equivalent OF
another. We do not insist that New
York bill in Missouri shall be equal to and
exchangeable for a bill of like denomination
issued in that State but we do think two
New York tens, issued within five hours
ride. and intended to circulate in the same
community, ought to be Of equal value
throughout their proper radius OF circula-
ton.
We lived in New-England while the
effort was proceeding to establish the all
but universal equality and exchangeabihty
of the Bank notes of that section by what
is known as the Suffolk system of requir-
ing all the Country Banks to keep an ac-
count in Boston and keep their paper good
there. Almost the whole Country, and
especially the Country Banks, opposed
denounced and execrated it, as tyranny
oppression, running the Country Banks
destroying their circulation, &c. They
have lived to become wiser, and to recog-
nize the Suffolk system as advantageous
to sound and prudently conducted Country
Banks, while operating as a curb on the
unsound and prodigal. We trust that
little change of opinion mayyet be%rought
elsewhere.
Our partiality to a Paper Currency is
justified by experience, by study by re-
Election. Such a currency is a great con-
venience to our business, though we do
not borrow from Banks and are compelled
to pay discount on large portion OF our
receipts. Even as it is, our Paper Cur
rency is far more benehcent than one
composed entirely of Specie would be-
But if our Paper Money had uniform
par value, its influences would be still
more beneicent.
The maintenance Of Two Curencies is
calculated to array the poor and the ignO-
rant sgainst Paper Money and all who up
hold it. Amechanic or day-labOrer is paid
his hard Learned weekly stipend in the less
valuable Currency, which ranges from one
| half to one per cent. below Specie or City

Senator were had Stockton receiving on each
ballot 30 votes. Dayton 34 six scattering, 40
necessary for choice Mr.. Mayhem one OF the
Two Wings who voted for Stockton at the first
Joint Meeting, has retraced his steps, and voted
regularly with the Wings for Dayton; and will,
think, continue to do so. The opinion here is'
that there is no possible chance for Stockton and
it is generally believed the Opposition do not
really desire his election. They only wish to
make show of carrying out the bargain made
with the Monopoes last Fall.
The two Houses go into joint meeting again TO-
morrow morning.
The Opposition will hold Caucus to night and
may agree upon Stacy G. Potts or Martin hyer'
son, for Senator but they can't elect either.
