The News.
By reference to our dispatches from Albany, II
viii be seen that the Canal Conference Committee
are reported to have finally adjusted their difficulties,
and upon such terms as WILL doubt, meet the ap-
prova Of not only both branches Of the Legislature
but the great majority Of the people. The basis Of
this agreement is understood to be simply that the
canals shall enlarged from their own resources
and not from taxation, ard that the odicus con-
tracts of 1851 shall be repudiated The
means are to be furnished by borrowing nine
millions ut dollars upon the strength Of the
revenues: also an additional loan of million and
half to pay OFF the revenue certificates. The work is
70 be given to the lowest bidders, and TO be COM
pleted IA four years. This arrangements appears to
be the most judicous that could have been effected
under the circumstances. The three prominent fea-
tures for which we have all along contended have
been recognized, and shall watch its progress in
the two houses with considerable anxiety The COM
mtees report viii doubtless be presented to morrow
morning.
No business of importance was transacted in either
branch of our State Legislature yesterday. The
two houses were in session but short time, and
at halfpast one in the afternoon there was
general scattering of the members, some going
home, and others upon pleasure excursions, with
the intention of enjoying themselves to the utmost
till tomorrow morning. Truly, our law makers this
year determined to take things easily, let their
constituents say what they may. Well, having given
us very fair city charter and defined the functiuns
q our aldermen to be of purely legislative and not
judicial character, they are probably entitled to
some recreation Now let us see what influence the
Sabbath will to-day have upon their feelings 80 tar
as relates to the canal question and the enacton Of
law for the better preservation of life on railroads
Dates from Havana to the Sth inst, state that

Not word is said about the progress Of the slave
trade in our despatch. Heavy rains had occurred,
and the yellow fever was still raging. The small
pox was prevalent at Matanzas.
Our special Washington correspondent writes that
the gentleman who was delegated to ascertain the
best location for the Assay Office, in this city has
made his report, from which it appears that neither
the Custom House, Exchange or Bonded Warehouse
viii do as it is doubtful whether any Of those build
ings can furnish the necessary room. However, no.
thing has yet been decided upon respecting the mat
ter. Collector Bronson it is asserted, has rot, up
to this time, cent single nomination OF any kind to
the Treasury Department, notwithstanding that near
" every other collection district has made clean
sweep of the old clerks and installed new men in
their places. The Judge has probably found much
difficulty in settling the strong claims Of rival con-
testants for the spos to be parcelled out by him
did the administration in deciding the question to
who should be our Corector-hence the delay.
Gen. villamil, the new Charge des Ahaires from
Ecuador presented his credentials to the President
on Friday last.
It appears that much larger number Of persons
was killed and wounded during the terrible Gavazzi
not at Montreal last Thursday night, than was at
hrt reported. According to the latest despatch ten
Y twelve either slain outright or MORALLY hurt
nd about fifty others were more or less injured.
n0ng the names of the victims, we observe that
Ne inoensve people were assassinated, both'before
\, after the conflict at the church, while peacefully

we raj attempts at outrage upon solitary way

erso, l was killed, although the streets were
atrou ed by flying artillery until daylight yes
,rdox morning. These repeated outrages have
ronsed the citizens 10 the necessity Of exer
sino he utmost vigilance and, if possible
