FROM ALBANY.

to-day, and Hood OF el0quenCe WItnln. lne ram
should it continue, with the warm weather which
accompanies it, will be likely to break up the ice
in the Hudson River in short time, while the
elOquence has already broken the ice which I'D
TIL low bound the tongues of several gentlemen
who came here with considerable reputation as
debaters, especially Messrs. Littlejohn and Tom
linsou We had more good speaking in the
Assembly tC day than during the entire two weeks
previous. The resolutions calliog the Sheriff
and County Clerk of New-York City to report to
the Assembly the amount of salary and fees received
during certain years past, brought out couple OF
very good speeches from Messrs. CHALLER and C..
5. SPENCER. Amendments were offered calling
for the fees of the Health Officer of the Port OF
New-YOrk, and also the fees of the Clerks and
Sheriff. of all the Counties in tbe State; and finally,
the resolutions and amendments were all tabled.
1t is not at all probable that the object sought,
(infOrmation to the enormous fees OF the Sheriff
and Clerk of New-YOrk) could have been attained
by the passa ye of the original resolutions, al the
officers receiving those fees have retired to private
life tskiDg also into retiracy the papers containing
all account of the aforesaid fees.
Mr.. OPDYKE's resolution for the appointment
of Commission to examine the banks OF the State
aud report the amount of unclained deposits and
dividends, brought out speeches from Messrs. Tom
LINsON, LITTLEJOHN, SCHoLEFIELD and CHAN
LER, which demonstrate the fact that each OF these
gentlemen possesses the stuff of which orators are
made. Messrs. Littlejohn and Scholeield favored
the resolution, and the other two gentlemen Op-
posed it. gather from Mr.. Littejohns remarks
that he estimates the amount Of unclaimed funds
in the various banks of the State at from three to
FIVE millions of dollars, and that he would favor
the appropriation of the amount, whatever II may
be- 10 the completion of the unfinished pdblic works
of the State. The Assembly adjourned without TAX
ing action on the resolution.
A memorial of the Chamber of Commerce OF tue
CITY of New YORK was presebted to the Assembly,
asking an amendment to the Port Wardens act re-
peaDg those portions of the law which give to tae
Port Wardens the exclusive right TO survey vessels
aud cargoes and which prohibit, under heavy pen
altes, the employment, by merch,nts and ship
owners Of other persons to make such surveys
MT. CONKIING gave notice OF a bill Tor amend
ing the law in compliance with the memorial.

which he gave notice few days ago, for railroad

from the First District introduced into the Senate
to-day bill for road III certain streets ana ave-

The resignation of the Commissioners of Quaran-
tine and the appointment Of new ones IN their
stead. will probably arrest the repeal OF the act
under " hch they were appointed, though II Is moi
presumed tLat the new Commissioners VIII enter
upon active duty before the Legislature shall have
had time to consider and decide upon what meas
ures are wisest and best under the circumstances.
