FROM ALBANY.

From Our Own Correspondent

The Senate reported progress to-day on the bill
introduced by Mr. Sloan, authorizing the Harlem
Railroad Company to lay double track from their
track in the Fourth Avenue at Forty second street

the northern extremity Of Manhattan or New York
Island 10 Forty. second street and permit the use
thereof by the New-lOrk and New-Hayen Railroad
Company to sud from the same points Tor twenty
Years from Dec 81, ISIS. This is just what Is
now Permitted q. e. the use of steam above Forty
second street, by ordinance of the Common C0un-
ell Of New York; but, lest that rather eccentric
body the Common Council, should, at some future
day strike the Company for further move up
town, with their steam they have wisely concluded
TO put such contingency beyond question by leglsa-
tive action, which shall secure the Company IN the
possession of It's present privileges Tor the next ~
years at least.
Another section of the bill extends the charter
of the Company and the several acts amending the
same for a term of thirty years. Pending an

SpH1Ne TRADE IN TUB EAsr.-A New York
paper says the Spring mercantile trade is
progressing with briskness +; "merchants
from ell parts Of tho country crowd our
hotels to oYerhowing. Our large wholesale
houses have all the business they con attend
to, and, in many instances, extra labor is
required from the clerks and porters, assist
ed by additional help engaged for the busy
season, to facilitate and dispatch the de-
mands of trade"
The Philadelphia North american inform,
US that a similar encouraging state in mer-
camille trade is witnessed in that city. Ev-
cry vestige of the cloud SO long settled down
on trade Is rapidly dissipatlng before the
quickening gales Of Spring, and prospects
are Frightening on every side. Prosperity
is contagious and will be felt the country
over ere long.
