The compromise agreed upon by the Joint Canal
Committee of the Legislature, was yesterday pre-
,ented to the Assembly, and, on reference to the |
regular report of the proceedings elsewhere, it will
be found substantially the same as the outline
which exclusively published in our columns two
days ago. This is matter of SO much Importance,
and appears to be so universally approved BY all
parties, that recaptulation Of the gist Of the re.
port will not be out Of place here to wit the bor-
rowing of two and quarter Millions of dollars annu
ally if that amount can be judicously and economi-
cally expended, and the completion of the entire |
work in four years if possible together with the in
sertien of Mr. Hadley's amendment, declaring the |
contracts of 1851 void and illegal. From the friend
" feeling exhibited on every side there Is no |
doubt but the platform erected by the joint
committee will be unanimously adopted by both
houses. and in November next, endorsed and
confirmed by the people at large. Now that TINS
great bone Of contention between the two factions OF
the democratic party is 50 nearly arranged u IS ne
cessary to glance abou. and ascertain whether there
are any more issues on which legislators can man
age to excuse themselves for continuing in their Seats
The onlyremaining reason adduced by his Exceaency
Gov Seymour in calling the special session, Is the
case Of Commissioner Mather. This affair, however,
appears destined to remain untouched The impeach-
uent resolution of Mr.. Champln, introduced during
the expiring moments Of the regular session, hes uor
ant while he defence Of the Commissioner Is being
circulated throughout the entire Stats. The pros
pect now1s, that not only Mr.. Mather. but all the
whig hars or masters, &C., may rest quite contented
after TODAY for resolutions were yesterday offered in
the Serste to adjourn sine die on Tuesday, and IN
the Assembly on Friday next. Shesld either OF
these propositions be accepted this vail be the last
day On which the Senate can attend to Executive
business; and as the Governor seems determined
not g. hazard the nominations he may desire 20
maSz by sending them in before the canal question
is disposed of it is hardly probable that anything
will he done in that line to-day.
There seems to have been considerable dlhculty IN
procuring sufficient number of members to transact
bust, ess in both branches Of the Legislature yester
day: consequently all sorts of eypedients were re-
sorte 4 to to kill time. The Assemblymen got up a
runiing debate upon the bill to provide maps of the
Stak for school children and the Senators revived
thex ID controversy respecting the Maine law. The
latter subject after much debate, in the course Of
which every member present warmly eulogzed the
policy of temperance, was referred to a select COM
mitsce, to report complete The unenacted code was
urvIing Commissioner together with three judges

The Gayazzi excitement still continues at Mont
real. On Sunday night mob demolished all the
windowssof ST. Stephens Church. situated in the
suburbs. 1t is pleasing to observe that the liberal
minded and well informed Roman Catholics of that
CITY, deepy deprecating the recent outrages yester
day held a meeting, at which they resolved not
only to repsr the damages, but to use every exer-
ton to ferret out and bring to Justice those who par
ticipated in she riots. Three more of those who
we're wounded at the time of the attack on Father
Gavazzi in the church, have died. The Padre it is
reported, will return there tomorrow evening and
conclnde his lectures.
4 fresh impetus yesterday given to the intense
excitement which has Of late been prevalent in the
Wes, concerning extensive forgeries and conspra-
ciesipy the arrest of person named Craig in whose
pcssersion was found all the apparatus necessary for
issuni spurious notes checks, Deeds &C., of every
description. The Blass Of documents brought to igh
by ths2rrest, are said to have exposed one Of the
most widespread real estate swindling operations
ever knsrn and one that appears to have been
ried on To- years. The opening OF letter at Union
town, Pa. which supposed to have been misdi-
rected, led to this important discovery.
