ALBANY, Saturday, April Il. 1857.
The Legislature which has adjourned to-day has
been remarkable one-remarkabe for the number
and character of the laws enacted, and some think
remarkable also on account Of the laws it has failed
TO enact. The number of acts passed at this
session is unprecedented in the legislation of this
State, reaching in all, about 500, very many of
course being OF personal or local character. In
the main, / apprehend, the laws enacted at this
session will be found useful and calculated to
develop the resources and advance the material
interests Of the State; and WILL therefore,
meet the hearty approval of the great mass
of the people The most important acts of
the session are those relating to the City
and port Of New-YOrk (many Of which have al
ready appeared in THE TRIBUNE), the act to Pro.
vide Means for the Completion of the Canals, and
the Excise law. Among the acts which the 265, 600
voters who brought this Administration into power
expected and had a right to expect, from this Leg
islature, were Personal Liberty law, law for the
Registration of the Names Of Legal Voters of the
State, and an Appropriation for Kansas, to be used
only in case of necessity. sort of Personal Lib
erty bill, which was introduced at tho heel OF the
session, did pass the Assembly, but was not acted
upon in the Senate. Whether it would have passed
that body had it come to vote there Judging from
the mutiated form in which the AssembH's Dred
Scott resolutions passed the Senate, is somewhat
doubtful.
The Trinity Church bill, which occupied 80 much
of the time of the Senate and which ultimately
passed that body never reached final action in the
Assembly; but the general impression here If that
had it come to vote it would have passed that
branch; and the impression is nearly strong that
in that event Gov. King would have vetoed it. The
act for the relief Of Broadway, which passed the
Assembly, would have passed the Senatc also II 1t
could have been brought t. a vote, which was pre-
vented by flbussrng on the part of opponents to
the measure
Mr. Speaker Litejohn delivered beautiful vale
dictory which deeply affected the members of the
Assembly, particularly several members who are
opposed to Mr.. l.. in politics. 1t is remarkable
fact that no decision of Mr.. LttlejOhn as presiding
officer has been appealed from by any member
during this session. / presume it would be difficult
to find similar case on record, though there have
been presiding officers of legislative bodies-Mr
Banks among the number-whO have never had
Among the eight hundred acts passed by this
Legislature at least six hundred were enacted
during the last three weeks of the session, and more
than four hundred during the last week of the ses-
sion. On the 18th inst. Gov. King signed 62 acts;
ON the l4th, So; the l5th 173; ON the 10th, o9i
and on the 18th, "a.
The Police Commissioners, who are required by
the terms of the act creating the Metropolitan Police
District 10 draw for terms of office before the Sec
retary of State, have not yet qualified one OF the
members (Mr Stranahan of BrOoklyn) being alb
sent. 1t is understood that they will be sworn IN
early next week. Mr.. Stranahan declined the ap-
pointment, and Edward w. Fiske of Brooklyn was
nominated by the Governor to fill the vacancy, but
the Senate did not take action on the nomination.
1t is now understood that Mr.. Strahahsn will qualify
and then resign, SO that Gov. King can appoint
Commissioner in his plsce. The Commission now
stands as follows: Simeon Draper, James w. Nye
and Jacob ChOwel of NcwYOrk; james >. L.
