ADJOURNMENT OF THE New YORK LEeIsLA-
TURE-Ihe Canal Bill Detsatea-Am Extra
Session Catled.-The New York Legislature, after
the resignation of the twelve democratic Senators
was unable to get constitutional quorum upon
any bill, and it has adjourned. The bill for the
enlargement of the Erie Canal and all the import
ant appropriation bills were defeated Two of the
three democratic Senators who remained in the
Senate voted against the Canal enlargement.
Mr.. Babcock offered preamble and'resoution
to the effect that the Governor be requested to cal
extra session at such time he should deem
the public interest required These were adopted
by the Senate. The resolution being read in the
House, Mr.. Burroughs rose and made a strong
speech denouncing the course Of the minority il
| the Senate, and advocating the adoption of thu
| preamble and resolution. The resolution was con
cured in by rs to "a, and the usual messages sen
| to the Governor, whereupon both Houses adjourned
| sine die.
The democratic Senators opposed the Canal En-
| argement Bill, on the ground that it was uncon
stiutional. An attempt was made in the Senate t
recommit the bill, with instructions to amend
making it the duty of the Attorney General to sub
NIT it to the Court of Appeals, if he thought
unconstitutional it failed. A great amount G
excitement prevails in Albany on account of thes
proceedings, and unless an extra session is con
vened, the wheels of Government will be blocked

The COALITION IN MASSACHUSETTS TRIUMPH
ANT.-With feelings of the deepest humiliation We
announce the election of Charles Sumner to the Sc
nate This was effected by the most shameful con-
tract between the free-soers and the democrats
The recent secession of Robert Rantoul the demo-
cratic leader, was omnibus. The election of Sum-
ner gives strength TO the secession party; it adds
an able man to the Ultra Southern men. The
secessonisls, of course, will be gra,fed by this ac
QUESTION; and they may we'll be proud both of
Sumner and Rantoul. The stood high in the
confidence of the wings; the other in that of the
democrats. Ran.oul, for ten days seat in the SEN

The only means of perpetuating slavery is in
the constitutional guarantees, The moment they
are removed, there must be great and sudden
change in the condition of the institution. Its enc
mics rejoice in the anticipation that the Union will
be destroyed, for the destruction of slavery follows
as an inevitable consequence. But we have never
been able to learn what advantage the South ex
poets to gain. With all the force of the laws and
officers of the Federal Government, it is extremely
difficult to recover fugitives; but it will certainly
become impossible, when the obligations of the
Constitution cease to operate.

came forward and testified that he and Drummond
were out together on the afternoon and night of the
murder, hunting muskrats.
Drummond, notwithstanding this testimony was
still held for further examination, and has now
fessed, declaring that Murphy, Shelton, Ford
Sills and Taylor, are the parties who committed
the bloody outrage. They have all been arrested
except Shelton, and the officers are in pursuit OF
him. This is not the same Shelton, the miller
who was among the first arrested. Ford is the
same man who testified at the examination that
Drummond did not reach his house until after
midnight.
l learn from the officer who arrested Murphy,
that Drummond declares that he lad no hand in
the matter himself, and that the only object of the
band was plunder--that his guilt only consists in
knowledge Of the conspiracy before the deed was
committed.
Webster, the uncle of Mrs. Cosden, who has so
long rested under the suspicion of having been the
nstgator of this dreadful tragedy, seems to be in
no manner implicated by the confession of Drum
mond, who intimates that if some of the Cosden
family had not escaped and given the alarm, it was
their intention to have followed up the work Of
plumber and blood, and that other families would
have been massacred the same night.
Murphy, on being arrested, appeared to be the
least concerned of all the crowd assembled Ford
and Stills have been logged in Jail at Elkton.

Relief for the Immigrants.

This subject is attracting much attention from
persons connected with the sanitary condition OF
the city. That there must be an establishment for
patients suffering from infectious diseases, is uni
versally acknowledged. Two plans are now before
the city authorities. The purchase of large tract
of land on the opposite side of the river without
any houses and the purchase of the Nuremberg
Hospital. The advantaged of the former consist in
its separation from the city The patients con-
templated to be provided for, will be chiefly mmi-
grants, just landed from ships which by law are
not allowed to come to the levee. AT this place
they will be retained until convalescent, and the
disease will not be allowed to spread into the city
The purchase of the sixty acres if made at all, will
be with view to the erection of an alms-house for
the permanent infrm or crippled.
The principal objection is the large expenditure
of money. The land we learn can be bought on
credit. The buildings will probable cost $4,000.
Or smaller body of land can be bought The
Gutenberg Hospital can at once Accommodate sew
eral hundred inmates, and can be bought for
1925, 900. 1t contains two squares of land. The
objections are that it is a mile or more from the
evee, and in the city, the edge of the swamp.
contagious disease would be more apt to spread
through the city from this point than from the
other; nor is it so convenient to the immigrant
ships. We have thus charged the jury on the
facts. The public authorities ought to decide and
act at once. The present condition of the hospital
demands instant relief.
We must not omit honorable mention OF Mr..
We're Foster, and his efforts for ameliorating the
condition of the immigrants. He is the son of the
English Minister to this country during the admin
istration of Mr.. Jefferson. He came over in the
Storage of one of the immigrant ships, and thus
witnessed the actual treatment of the poor passen-
gers This knowledge has enabled him to expose
many of the abuses which the poor suffer. He

EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND.

The latest accounts from Ireland state
that thousands of emigrants are embarking
for the United States.
A Nenagh paper states that the once
populous distric. of Thurles. and various
other parts Of Tipperary appear to be at
most totally deserted. During the last week
400 emigrants left Thurles and its vicinity,
and so great was the pressure at the railway
station that additional carriages bad to be
put in requsition for their transit to Dublin.
A magistrate and land owner in the county
Mayo, speaks in terms Of the utmost alarm
at the prospect of the country being left
without sufficient hands to till the ground.
From Westport and Castelar, shopkecp-
ers, farmers, and able bodied laborers are
flying as if from plague in many districts

neglected, and the population seems to be
limited to the inmates of the warehouses.

PRESIDENT FILLMORE, &C.

On Monday of last week, President FILL
MORE and Secretaries WEBSTER, GRAHAM.
CRIrrENDEN, and HALL, left Washington, to
participate in the ceremonies of opening the
"Erie Rail Road" which connects n York
city with Lake Erie-the most magnificent
work of the kind in the world. The Presi-
DENTAL party have been most cordially and
enthusiastically received, at every point from
Washington to the Lake. The lovers of the
Union" the determined supporters of the
Constitution, have had joyous occasion of
manifesting their hearty appreciation of the
course pursued to the President and his dis.
tinguished Cabinet--every where they have
been met with cheering welcome, every
where tie expression has been "lceH done
good and faithful Seruants."

THE ADMINISTRATION.


We are pleased to notice all over the
country, in the Wing press. the exhibition of
the most undoubted confidence in the course
and policy of the President, and the present
Administration. The support given to the
Administration. is not mere cold, party
support-but it is warm, heartfelt, and sin
cere Especially, are we pleased. that in the
South, this just tribute is rendered by the
Wings, with an earnestness and alacrity
which bespeak determination at all proper
times, to revive the good old Wing feeling,
and to stand again together, united in the
defence Of the principles which they cherish,
and the men who carry out these principles.
The President is indeed, every way worthy of
tho cordial appreciation of his countrymen
No man could have shown himself to better
advantage, than he has. since his accession
to the high office he fills. We believe the
generous and unpreiudiced of his political
opponents admit this. Had he only the
name of belonging to their party, they would
be enthusiastic in his praise Let the Wings,
then, when they have President so much
entitled to their confidence as is Mr.. Fill
more, not be backward or lukcwarm in stand
irg by him and upholding him in all his eff
orts to secure peace, harmony, and prosperi-
ty to the country.

THE NATIONAL ARmoR1Es.

The Nartional Armories at Springfield,
Mass, and Harper's- Ferry, Va, manufactu-
red during the past fiscal year 27,945 pur-
cussion muskets, 2,676 purcussion rifles, 2O0,-
900 musketoons, besides altering &C, 672 flint
lock muskets to percussion muskets The
expenditures on account of these armories
during the same period were $465,511.
These are the two main points where all of
Uncle Sans fire arms are made. There is
also an arsenal at St. Louis, but the amount
of work turned out is comparatively small to
either of the other two places The location
of Harper's Ferry is one of the best sites that
could have been procured for National Ar
mory. The waters Of the Shenandoah and
Potomac wash the village on both sides, and
form confluence where the Blue Ridge has
been broken by some mighty convulsion of
nature. Harper's Ferry contains probably
more inventive genius, and more scientific
workmen than any other town Of tie same pop
ulation in the Union.-Sucrament0 (Cal. }

General Order to the army. Soldiers
Those who fed SO cowardly from Cardenas,
before handful of you,, intend again to
tread on the soilswhich your valor defended
so effectually.
He who heads the band is traitor, those
who follow without country or any recognized

are not to be given them.
Soldiers, your valor and your discipline
assure me that their determination will only
be delayed until your meet them,
