Tur Har or Leaistation.—At 10 o'clock, we entered the Hall of the House, the lobbies and gal- lery of which were crowded to excess, and found the Rev. Mr. Huntington addressing the throne of grace for the protection and reformation of the members in particular, and the world in general No sooner had he closed, than up jumped’ come dozen members at the same time, each uttering the words, ‘Mr. Speaker, 1’—‘‘ Mr. Speaker, sir’—‘*Mr. Speaker, it”—“Mr. Speaker”—“ Mr, Speaker,”” The Speaker, Mr. Davis, here entered his seat with a large red bandanna handkerchief tied round his jaws, which, contrasting with his frosty pow, re- sembled a red cabbage in December, decorated with a border of fallen snow. He cast his eyes about and caught these of Mr. Daly, of this city, who offered a resolution in relation to an investiga- tion into the Leake and Watts estate, which was adopted, The Speaker’s mouth had hardly closed in the an- nouncement of the result, when about twenty members jumped to their feet with the ery of ‘ Mr. Speaker,” “Mr. Speaker,” from their mouths. Amid the din and noise, with rap, tap, rap of his ham- mer to preserve order, he caught the eye of Mr Mc- Murray, of this city, who asked unanimous consent to have entered on the journals a! statement pre- pared by him, relative to his recent breach of order in attacking a member of the House—(cries of “T object,” from several members.) Mr. McMurray continued amid confusion, and said that the entry ‘on tie minutes stated that he had made a “humble apology” which wasso contrary to what actually had transpired that he would sooner have been ex- pelled than submitted to such misrepresentation.— He, therefore, again asked the unanimous consent of the house to enter a statement on the journals. Here followed cries of **no, no,” “T object,” and Mr. ‘Yewer calling to order, Mr. McMurray with- drew his request, and the matter closed. The next movement was the reception of the or- der of reports from standing committees, when we perceived a’sudden movement of some dozen re- cently appointed Inspectors of Beef, Pork, Flour, Rum and Tobacco, in the lobby and on the flior, urging on the'r favorite members to object, oppose, stave or beat off the proposition, for tbe purooss of defeating action upon any report of the Senate bill abolishing the compulsory features of the eke Laws. Among the mostactive was Col. J. D. Ste- venson, Iaspector General of domestic distilled spi- nits. Every nerve appeared to be brought to bear to defeat taking up the reports, and the count running very close, the lobbies were searched and members escorted up,one by one,on both sides until the clerk closed, when amid the utmost confusion, and while some thirty members were crowded around the speaker’s chair, he announced 47 for taking up and 48 tor laying on the table. The annual Supply bill was then taken up and read a third time and passed. Anattempt was made to take up the reports of Se- leet Committees, which was rejected and laid on the table. Voice.—* A message from the Senate”—(and si- lence or partial order prevailed.) | ‘* The Senate has concurred in the act «bolishing the office of Bank Commissioners” (Loud cries of ‘good, good,” ‘ bravo,” “ well done,” “that’s something at last,” “to hell with the commissioners, they were of no More use that as many setting hens,” “‘d—d glad the’re out ” Speaker.— Order, order,” (rap, tap, rap with his mallet)—* the officers must preserve order and compel gentlemen to take theirseats ” It wasnow quarter past 11 o’clock, and the hour of adjournment was fixed at 12. vi Mr. Wnire of this city rose ‘‘ to a question of pri- vilege,” as he called it, to compel Willis Hall, a meinber from Albany, to reporta bill relative: tothe office of Register of the city of Albany, which he said the member held as one of the unworthy of the committee. Mr. Exocn Strona jumped up and said, “Mr. Speaker, I move that we take up the supply bill.”— (Order, order, rar, tap, rap, goes the Speaker ) Mr. Hatt replied that he was ready to report, but Mr. Brown asked to lay the bill on the table, which was adopted, and thus ended this move- ment. Here commenced a perfect scene of confusion. It appeared asthough every member had some hob- by bill that had been lett in the lurch, and that this was the moment to seize to pass it About forty members were on the floor at once, all crowding to- wards the centre of the hall, so as to catch the Speaker’s eye, and crying, “*Mr. Speaker, sir” —‘‘ Mr. Speaker, I rise”—‘*Mr. Speaker, it is”— Mr. Speaker, [ move”— Sreaxer—Order, order—(rap, tap)—Gentlemen must keep order, as it is next to impossible to hear aword that is said. Officers, keep order in the cilnege they must be cleared entirely. The Crerx here began to read with such a hur- ried voice that not one word in twenty could be heard. We caught the sounds of “Caughnawaga Bridge Company, passed” —‘“Village of Goshen, pas- sed”— Free Schools in Poughkeepsie, not asked for’—‘ Rensselaer and Saratoga In- surance Company, passed”—‘ Order, order.” We hete cast a glance around the House. Almost every member was on hisfeet and the lobby borers were flying from one side of the house to the other in perfect desperation, al! anxious to secure the pas- sage of some favorite scheme, and only twenty-five minutes left! Jonathan D. Stevenson stood in the right lobby biting his nails, with his eyes upon the clock, probably thinking to himself there is but a few short minutes left, and if the Inspection Bill does not come in soon all is safe—but hark— A Voice is heard—‘Message from the Senate”— (silence prevailed.) Sreaxer—The Senate has sent back the Assem- bly bill gy the compulsory Inspection Laws with an amendment that it shall go into opera- tion on the Ist of December next. Like a shot froma gun round to the left side went Col. Stevenson, to rally his forces to make a sortie on this movement of opposition and defeat to the prospects of the newly appointed Inspectors, and a dozen members were on the floor on the instant, each stretching forth his neck and elevating his voice above his neighbor, until our old friend Jem Tnomrson of this city, blew a blast that net only caught the eye of the Speaker but half the house beside, and he commence Mr. Speaker—There isnot, there cannot be any necessity for the passage of this bill—(‘order,” rap, tap, goes the Speaker’s mallet,) this bill is of vast importance to the city of New York—(order, gen- tlemen, order)—and its beneficial effects, if passed, will be made apparent—it is a bill that will open the door for the cupidity of knaves—it is a bill that will materially interfere with the business of New York for the sale of goods in foreign markets—the publ c have not asked forthe repeal of the present law and why do we force it, upon, thern—is it to oblige those who have been disappointed in obtain: ing appointments or what is the object. Let ustake up other measures of more importance and let this pass until it is called for by our constituents— (great pene a and disorder, ond forty members on their oofs ) Sreaxer —Gentlemen must be seated—the gen- tleman from New York alone has the floor. Thompson—I do not intend to be compelled to leave this floor by noise and contusion, nor will any interference close my mouth while in the perlorm- ance of my duty—(cries of “go on;” “go on,” hear it out,” O, yes”, I move, sir, therefore, to close this argument by laying the billon the table. A Dozen Memeers—I hope not, Mr. Speaker. — Let it pass—let it. slide—(iaughter}—I move to lay the last move on the table. Ctatahier ) Sreaxer—Gentlemen, (rap, tap,) must (tap, rap,) keep (rap,) order. One at a time only—(great con- fusion ) Somknopy moved the previous question. Avoritee Vorck—I callthe ayes and nays, Axornrk—O no—there ain’t time—I move to lay the last move on the table—Claughter.) Srraker—Order, order, gendemen. Shall the main qaestion be now put? The hands of the large clock in the hall here stood it 13 minutes to 12, when su idenly they were moved back by an unseen hand, in the rear of the wall, to 20 minutes past 11—(great laughter and noise among the members—great confusion and considerable crowing among the lobby borers, who calculated make something by the delay ) Mr. Tuompsox—I call the ayes and nays on that —(great contusion.) Speaxer—order ; you must keep order. Officers, keep the gentlemen quiet in the lobbies. r. CALDWELL—Let us have the vote—no more talking to buckum. The maio question was then put by a vote of 75 to 11, and the amendment concurred in by almost a unanimous voice—(applause—clapping of hands and stamping of feet ) Sreaken—Who was guilty of that disorder ? A Voice.—The member from Orange—(Great laughter and noise.) A message washere received from the Senate extending the time of adjournment from 12 o’clock to4P. M., which was concurred in by the report of the Cle: k, 62 to 53, being more than the number pre- sent. The Crerx then commenced the reading of bills atsucha pace that not one member of fifty could understand five words he said. An amendment was passed making the anti-sectarian part of the Public School Law more ons? than ever, which was sent to the Senate and there defeated. ‘The amendment abolishing the office of Inspector of Green Hides was run through with, and a bill to allow Henry Patchin and others to build piers at Brooklyn, also passed. The excitement and confusion, although mode- rated, was such that some of the borers succeeded, in the absence of members, to get upthe bill to ex empt goods sold at auction on account of foreign underwriters, from payment of commissions to port wardens of this city, and obtained its passage. Mr Guazisr, of this city, who had been absent for aninstant, came into the House and imme- diately moved its re-consideration, which was adopted by almost a unanimous vote, and then laid upon the table with but few dissenting voices.— (Here was one among the many evidences of the day, of hasty legislation.) _ Speaxer—The officers must stop the conversation in the lobbies—if not the gentlemen must be turned out of the House. Nelson R. Wheeler and Wells Brooks were here elected by ballot a committee to examine the Trea- surer’s accounts. .. The members here beganto drop off for dinner, it being about half past one o’clock, and a call of the House was made and but 83 answered to their names. At this mement we perceived our old friend Nonus and several others extremely active and busy in bringing up members, and suddenly heard the Speaker announce a bill to amend the act incorporating the Nautilus Insurance Company, giving it the same powers as the Mutual, of Life, Fire and Marine Insuance--passed ! This struck us as passing strange, when all through the session every attempt to grant Life Insurance to companies asking charters or amendments refused. Another evidence of the evils of hasty le- gislation, thought we; The next thing we iseard was the passage of the Astor Mutual Insurance Company. Srgaxer.—Officers invite the members to take their seats. 4 Mr. Daty from this city, here informed us, that the house during the session had been quite digni fied and orderly in its character, and that the scene before us was entirely novel. We said no- thing. but thought the novelty was certainly of the first order. e A law authorizing the Corporation to purchase lands sold for taxes when there were no other bid- ders, was passed. rs Somenopy offered a resolution asking for an alte- ration of the constitution, so as. to allow the Legis- lature to reduce the tolls upon the Erie Canal, when- ever the public interest required it. (Voted down at adead shot ) A resolution allowing the loan holders of money for the Unitea States Pablic Fund, a longer time to pay the amount due, was adopted. he Bill incorporating the Washington Monu- ment Society of this city, was passed and sent to the Governor for signature. Tue Poptic Lanp Moxry.—The amendment of the Senate to the annual supply bill, providing for receiving the $81,358 15, being this State’s portion deposited in the Commercial Bank ot Albany, was here announced, and about thirty members rose to get the floor. Wurnis Hart, of Albany, moved to concur. Mr. M. Brown moved that they do not. The ayes and nays were ordered, and the House refused to concur by a party vote except Church, of Jeflerson; Dickinson, of Broome; Findlay, of Westchester, and Fassett, of Oneida. The House here took a recess nntil three o’clock. Eventne Session. On re-assembling. the members were quite order- \y, and a second attempt was made to concur with the Senate in receiving the $81,000 public_monev, which was non-concurred in by a vote of 28 to 53. ‘The House at this point was crowded to excess, and nearly all the members were in their seats. Mr Brooks here offered a resolution returniag thanks to the Speaker for his impartiality, courtesy, &c., in presiding over the deliberations of the House during the session. Mr. Futter, from Munroe, a whig, refused to re- cord his vote in rendering thanks to the speaker as he thought he was not deserving of notice. The Croton Water bill passed. A message was received from the Governor in- forming the House that he had signed the bill abol- ishing the office of Bank Commissioners— (cries of “good,” * bravo,” “good,” “all right,” “ O. K ” Wiis Hatt made another movement to obtain the passage of a resolution, to credit that $85,000 to the State government—rejected, ayes 36 ; nays 72. The amended bill from the Senate, incorporating the Cayuga and “u:qnehanah Railroad Company with a capital of $18,000, was concurred in. Another attempt was here made to receive that $84,000, and Fun.er, of Monroe, made a speech in its favor, averring that the State was too poor to do without it. G6 Hotes, of Westchester—“ Never receive it— “twill be our proudest, noblest act to send it back.” The vote was again taken and resulted in ayes 36, nays 72; and the money now remains in the Commercial Bank of Albany, awaiting the action of the general government Mr. Haw try, of Cattaraugus, moved that the joint execative rules, relative to the adjournment at 4 0’clock, be now taken up, which was adopted and thus cut off all further businesa, except by unani- mous consent j < Mr. Daty asked leave to introduce a resolution instructing the Trustees of the State Library to en- wire into the propriety of purchasing the library of Mr. Warden, in Paris, the most of which relates to American affairs. Granted and adopted. Mr. Hinsarp here made several attempts to ob- tain leave to pass his hobby, the Bowery Fire Insu- rance Company bill, authorising them to hold real estate, now in their possession for five years, for five ears longer. Objections were made as often as ' e moved, and he finally gave up the attempt as use- ees. Messages having been received from, and com- municated to, the Senate and Governor, Mr. Speaker Davis rose and returned thanks to the members for the assistance they had rendered him during the session, in the preservation of order, and the House then adjourned sine die, The militia bill fell to the ground in this last rush, as_well as several other very important measures. The bill to give to the Seamen’s Fund Retreat the money loaned from the State, was not passed. Reropiation.—In the Senate on Monday night, the following resolution was offered by Mr. Dennis- ton: “Whereas,it appears from resolutions introduced in refe- rence to acommunication from the Secretary of State, da- ted March 17, 1843, and from discussions had and votes ta- Ken, shat this Senate is of opinion that the State of New York i. id good taith bound to pay every debt which she hasincurred, and oughtto redeem every dollar of stock which she hascansed to be issued ; therefore Kesolyed, That the further consideration of all reso- lutions in reference to said communication be postponed until the 4th day of June next.” After considerable debate, the resolutions were finally laid on the table by the following vote :~ Arvs—Mesars.

Tne National Domain —Mr. Harp submitted a Minority report in relation to the national domain, which was ordered printed. i Mr. Fautxyer called for the consideration of the concurrent resolution in relation to calling in certain moneys belonging to the U.

The billtoamend the usury laws was laid upon the table in the Senate. Nothing was done for the public works beyond a partial settlement with contractors for damages on suspended contracts. 3 ‘he Annual Tax bill for this city was passed, and that abolishing the office of Ward Collectors; the latter to take effect from 1st April next. The bill authorizing the Corporation to buy land sold for aasessments became a law. The lien law for New York having passed the As- sembly, was not taken up inthe ~enate. The bill of the Assembly, repealing the law as- suring to perséns claimed as fugitive slaves a trial { by jury, was passed over in the Senate. he bill to postpone the calling im of 25 per cent 1 on the United States deposit uatil October, 1844, was passed. { The billto incorporate the Bickeer Choiem, a benevolent socirty in the city of New York—passed ayes 95, noes 1, .

Metancuory Dratu or Mrs. Suetton —We take the following announcement of the death of Mrs. Shelton, wife of the late President of the Brandon Bank, who recently drowned himself, from the Vicksburg Sentinel of the 4th instant:— It is our painful duty to announce the sudden death of Mrs. Shelton. She had suffered the most acute mental torment from the moment she was informed of the melancholy end of her husband, and she was never permitted to be alone. Her physical organi- tion sunk under the moral torture, and she expired in spasme, on Sunday last. It is long before the blight of hopes and happiness, the black and bloody path of the “creditsystem”—shall have disappeared forever. Would to God that its obituary could be written; butso long as the organized money power of England has the means of purchasing the minds of such yenal orators as Volney Howard, of corrupt presses, and of proclaiming the morality of paying public debts—so long will the “trail of the ‘eer pent” be overthe flowers ot all that is pure and love- ly in humanity Apsournep.—The Pennsylvania Legislature.

[a McDaniel’s cass the mer chants were losers. Direct resumed.—The difference of Phillips was $543 69 cents; amount refunded $242; witness is not familier with accounts in auditor’s othice;the reason witness is not familiar with them is, it was intimated to witness that any ipterterence on his part, with other departments, would be considered an iatrusion; if Mr. Hoyt was charged with the whole amount of duties in account current, he ia en- titled to the surplus of cash as a matter of course, the de comprise the whole amount of cash received by t; the prot 1 was all accounted for in 1839, and paid over; deposit lists were made out daily at close of say, aftertwoo'clock; receiptof cash wasdi-continued and lists made out for deposit. Henry Ocpen, late cashier in the Custom House, exa- mined.—I preceded Mr. Walters as cashier of om House; I was there for eight years before Mr. Hoyt cume in, and tor eight months after; Walters succeeded wit- n the same course in the management of the business Was pursued by witness and Walters; the banks resum Specie payments on Ist May, 1838; from the commence- ment of Hoyt’s collectorship to last of April inclusive, the amount handed to Hoyt was $35,793 68 cents. This was netincluded in deposit. It was the balanc the Cash ier’s hands, the rest having been expended ; during the suspension, Mr. Hoyt took no money and made no dis- bursements; Mr. Moyt received and disbursed nothing until alter the Banks resumed specie payments. ‘Treasury Drafts were all paid by Collector from fund his hands. From Ist May to 2ist November, daily deposit lists were furnished to Collector, and monthly checks givin hy Collector to Cashier for clerks’ services, &c. in Walter's time. Cross-examined.—I de not mean Mr. Hoyt received no money, I mean he received none that was to be paid to the credit of errors like these of Phillips; such errors will often arive from permits being taken away. In my time, the memorandums were made, and the cash put them into atrunk with other monies. Nothing like Mc- Daniel’s eonduct occurred in my time Direct examination revumed.—Deposit lists put in evi- derca from Ist May, 1838, to2d March, 1841, inclusive. Phillips’ statement also put in evi it commenced on the 18:h July, 1839, and ended 2st mber, 1833, both days inclusive, and the balance against Phillips was $543 69.

He had been carting sod ia the morning and had left his horse and cart standing near the railroad track while he went into # porter house. Hearing the cars coming he attempted to cross the track and quiet the horse but was run over by the cars in making the attempt. He was considerably mangled and taken imme- diately to the City Hospital, but before he could be undressed he died. The jury returned a veidict in accordance with the facts.
