NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

The House organized last week by the election of Orville Robinson Speaker.-- He is Soft Democrat. but is represented as being in favor of the Canal Enlarge men,, and was elected by the union of the Republican and Soft forces.
 Immediately after the organization, Gov. Clark delivered his Message to both Houses. His fscial statement is no, very favorable, there being deficiency du- ring the past financial year of upwards of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars = The surplus canal receipts over expendi- lures is one million six hundred thousand dollars. After discussion on the various local topics. the Governor closes by an al- fusion to the Kanzas question, denoaneing in strong terms the overthrow of the Mis- souri Compromise, and expressing the hope that the voice of New York, will again, as heretofore, be unanimous in as- ser.ing the Jeffersonian policy of restricting slavery and extending freedom.

Another RaAroad Accident.

Another accident occurred on the 10th inst, on the Hudson River Railroad at Spuy ,endayvel Creek. The bridge at this point gave way and locomotive. two bag gage cars and one passenger car went into the river. One engineer, one fireman and a little boy were killed, and several passen- gers injured. The accident was caused by the ice knocking the piles from under the bridge. The passengers in the car that went down were all thrown in heap al the front end. As the remaining cars caught upon one of the iron bars, itprevented them from going over, and also the first passen- ger car from going entirely into the water. Had ii not been for this, there would have been many lives lost.

LIFE OF NATHAN HALE, The Martyr Spy, hy w Stn,rt Es,

LIFE OF NATHAN HALE. The Martyr Spy,
 by l. w. Stuart, Esq.
 This book is published by F. A. Brown of Hartford, in very elegant style, and is illustrated with engravings by Hartley, Ropes and others, exhibiting familiar scenes and objects associated with the life of Captain Hale.
 The difficulties to be surmounted by the author were manifold and discouraging. The materials were so scanty and in fact had become so interwoven with fiction, that nothing but the most untiring industry associated with the keenest powers of analysis, could elaborate narrative worthy to be called biography.
 The preface, which is written in Mir. Stuarrs best style. refers the reader to most of the sources from which he has drawn his information. There is loving tenderness in the whole story which must interest al! readers alike. One may read it again and again, with new emotions and sympathetic tears. The reader is intro. duced into the family circle of Richard and Elizabeth Hale and their twelve children, of whom Nathan was the sixth. He learns to love them for their simple virtues, he Is made to share in their evening sports around the morris .board, while the good old Deacon sleeps with the candle in his hand. The old farmhouse with its outbuildings, and it's trees sheltering the bright-eyed boy when the fu,ureis just open- ing before him visions of usefulness and hope; his sports with the fshing-rod; in the wrestling ring, or urging the flying ball;" the still manlier exercise of scholar ship and serene thought; the academicsl course at Yale; the humble office of school teaching at Moodus and afterwards at New London the noble emulation of the scholar as evinced in his correspondence with Roger Alden and Benjamin Tallmadse; the tenderer emotions that hal!owed tho home of Rose Adams; the wit and frank ness which made him fovorite with re- fined ladies; the patriotism which blended with his pie,y light, mild, yet unquench- ble-fnaIly, his daring enterprise in tho British Camp; his last glorious words; the triumphant glance with which he looked upon his cxecutioners-are all so beauti- fully grouped, and with such delicate colorng, that the hand of the artist can be traced in every line. The spirit in which the work is conceive. is elevated and pure as its style. It ought to be put into the hands of every child in the State. for the lessons of industry, patriotism, courage, maniness, truth and piety which It breaihes.

For the Enquire, .


 We feel. Mir. Editor, that your article of !" Now and Then''i in your last, has by no means done justice to our Village. Of course wedo not dispute the facts that many houses which it would bemost desir- able to see open, are here closed in the win- ter-but in the villages throughout our land, for at least throughout New England) whsrs are families of wealth, and where large cities are so accessible, this is believe more or less the case but that those that remain are not content so to do, we of Litch6eld at least deny-and moreover we believe few villages will compare with ours in intellect. ual privileges. This winter we have public lecturesof the highest order, and always moro or less of gatherings for profitable social reading, and access everywhere to respect able private Libraries, and in many instance es to choice collections, through the liberal ity of the owners-but this we trust will by no means prevent vigorous and generous efforts for our forthcoming Public Library.
 Ofbusiness hazard but few remarks, but our Merchants and Mechanics although not among those who haste to get rich and thereby fall into snare, areyet prosperous, and men of character and influence-our farmers such as we are proud to claim.-- Where, all included, can be found better order of society than here in dear old Li,ch- 6eld-moral, religious and intellectuali ' and here, Mr Editor, may you long abide and be blest in all your influence and efforts to ennoble, elevate, refine.

A Fearful Lean.

A miraculous escape from death, was witnessed few days ago at Falls Village. An elderly man, Osman Green, accompa- nied by his daughter, was driving a pair ofhorses on the highway running close by the railroad, when they were frightened by the locomotive. and becoming unmanage- able, dashed off bank nearly perpendic. ular, and over twenty feet in height The young lady escaped with slight scratch on the face, but Mir. Green sustained injuries in his side which will probably confne him for some time.

 D Within the past two years, says the Albany Journal. no less than seven expe- ditions have been set afoot in tine United States, against countries with whom we are at peace-one to make Sonora against her will, an independent Republic; one to rescue Tamaulipas from the control of her own inhabitants; one to imaginary revolu- iioaists in Cuba one to give undesired " "succor" to Ireland; one to occupy grant of land in Costa Rica, which Costa Rica deaies ever having made one to help for eiyners to overthrow the native Govern msnt of Nicaragua; and one to perform the same office for Lower California.

THE ALCOHOLIC CONTROVERSY: A Review
 of the Westminster Review on The
 Physiological Errors of Tetotalism."-
 By R. T. Trall, NJ. D., New York, Fow-
 lers & Wells, Publishers.
 This is work of IA pages in which the author clearly points out the errors con- tained in recent article in "The Vest minister Review" which was substantially an attempt and to prove that the war now waging against intoxicating beverages, by the friends of humanity, is unjust that alcohol is not essentially poisonous to the human constitution; and that it is actually food and as such is capable of supporting life, &c. Each of these points are care- fully reviewed, and candidy treated.
