SPRGIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, ! Aupany, May 31, 1853, ‘The lobby was in greater force this morning than dur- ing any day since the commencement of the extra ses- sion. It was at first a matter of some wonderment, as there was cot any question upom tbe carpet in either house of so interesting a character as to attract such un- usual numbers. Finally, it was remarked that it being executive day, the wonder was decreased, and the fact ‘Secame apperent that the unusual number of spectators were mostly applicants for harbor masters aid other places. €welve o’clock arrived, the Lieut. Governor an- mounced tho special order, being the hour for taking into consideration the nominations sentin by his Excel- leacy, the Gevernor. With unanimity the Senate went into executive session. The audience anxiously awaited the opening of the budget ; all expected the names kept back during the regular session would be presented for consideration, and the anxiety was the greater because . no one kmew whose names were on the “slate.”’ The seal was finally broken, when lo! only four solitary notaries were announced. The hungry expectants stared at each other—wondered why Governor Seymour with- held any longer—what reason for hesitancy, as Mr. Cooley wasin good tamper? The four notaries were at omeo confirmed, and the Senate resumed legislative business. Aas very appropriate afterpiece, the Senate then teok up the Maine liquor law, which had slept for a couple of months, and almost been forgotten. It was ready for a third reading, but as some of its features were not suita- ble to several Senators, an effort was made to refor it back to the Committee of the Whole. A sharp debate Meet? by which it appeared that every Senator who en- tered the debate, was a tona fide temperance man, but | eet ret tee buch around ‘the Maine law. No quoe- tion waa taken. During the afternoon session the Senate was still en- onthe Maine law. At7 o'clock the struggle ended vote taken referring the bi ck to the Br etigees of toe Whole for amendient, The ‘vote stood irteen irteen, and the Lieutenant Governor gave the becrled note in favor of committing, This senda the affair to the ‘tomb of the Capulets.”” Mr. Morgan introduced s bill amending the banking ing alarger portion of United Staes go- eet is to be depesited as Atal bans. There being no opposition, ‘the bill will be into law. empting any premises occupied as a United ante eae office in a city of New York, from assess ‘ stent and taxation, is oppored in the Senate by Mr. Van Schoonheven. He contends that it is wrong, unless the ament possess the fee in the soil, as in the Custom fouse Ja the Post Office or any of the Bonded Warehouses exempt from taxation? Will the_ai sors inform the Legislature forthwith? If they are, then the Assay office also, should be exempted, and not without. Several of the rural Senators think that the city of New York ought not to quibble about paying a few hundred dollars mid tax, when there is such a amount of benefit fh anticipation from the Assay office, asa stepping stong toa Mat: =~ louse tntered upon a discussion relative to att journment, for the Buffalo and Ni excisions There was a mighty deal of economi bi be a pended upon the subject. sneer Mr. Shaw, always honest and undisguised, gave his reasons freely why the membors should remain at the capital ; the principal one was, that he feared the strong water of Niagara might prove too powerful for those who professed, and mainly practised, total abstination while on duty here, The hour for taking up the special order arrived before any vote w Mr. Loomis took the floor in discussing th tions. He was listened to with great attention. the idea of texation for the support of government, but said very little upon the mannor of finishing the canals by means Of railroad tolls, and direct taxation, as proposed in hia bill, which has lain dormant in the Senate ever since It passed the House. He spoke at length in favor of the West proposition, and urged the friends of that Measure not to engraft the section of those re- solutions schemt moved by Mr. Hadley, into the Vander- bilt The debate was Continued ‘by \D. B. Taylor, Mr. Sessions, and others, until the hour for taking & recess, ‘The House continned the consideration of the constitu- amendments during the afternoon. After some «debate, Mr. Littlejohn accepted the amendment of Mr. Hadley. This incorporated the Vanderbilt plan, with a certain repudiation of the contracts of 1851. A vote owas thea taken, which resulted—41 in favor of and 56 against it. Then came up the West proposition. ‘Mr. Burroughs moved to amend by striking out the word ‘may’? wherever it occurs, and substituting the word “vba,” a0 that future Legislatures shall be com. polled te carry out the provisions of this amendment, Mr. Loomis objected to this proposed change of words, ashe wanted future Legislatures to be allowed their own discretion as to whether they would goon with the en- largeoment. This remark startled many of the true friends of the enlargement, ‘Mr. Burroughs also moved to strike out four years in the West proposition, and insert six years, and inerease the amount from one million five hundred, to two million five hundred thousand dollars, as the amount which may annually be borrowed, if the Tegislature may think pro Per, as proposed by Mr. Vanderbelt, ing these motions, the House adjourned. By a resolution adopted a few days since, the quostion must be taken at twelve o'clock to-morrow.

The law provide: the Nevember election the people vote aye or nay bill. But the law itself, whichever way the bird tiom is decided, goes into effect on the Ist of March (854, paless fed torte the Legislature of 1854. Mr. Brusrou {aem,) pegs it wisest to frame the bill #0 as to refer it to the action ef the people at the next election. This takes it out of politics. As to this law ret being practicable, the statute book was filled with enactments against the doing of wronz. Does the Senator from the Fifth (Mr. Beekman) desire to repeal all these? An interest growing in intensity and determination was ares up in respect to this law. Legislation ought to iscor Let them return officers that at urage thove . Two great parties will always exist, and it is wisest they shoul in all integrity. Every man must have seen the great evila growing out of these parties. A et third party has pt seg which is taxing energetic hold of this subject, believing, as it does, that intemperance works more injury than all other 988. ‘The party cannot be thrown off by flimsy oxcuses. Before an iota of injury is done under {t, the people will have all the means necessary to secure its repeal. Mr. BexxMan thought it the duty of a statesman to stand fast, even when the people demand s wrong. His constitueats had sent him to yote untramelled aod uain- stracted. Mr. B. said he had voted for a law giving the supervisors of each county, the power to have the Maine law in such counties as desire it. He was not willing to adopt a law which would o™ke a riot in overy city. It was the error of socialism to forget ~ individaal and look only to the mass. He looked to the individual. ‘Teach every person self-restraint. Intemperance in drink is Li Gra of those evils which more than deciminate our population. That other horrid iniquity walks almost un- rebuked. The call for a Maine law is a call for impracti- cable action. He should not vote for the law, aud would run the risk of being considered an advocate for vice or an apolegist for drunkards. Mr. Cootry (dem.) considered this as the most important subject which had come before tho Legislature, and no place did it concern more than the great Babylon—the commercialemporium Ifthe Senator from the Fifth sup- noses that the worth, intelligence, and character of New York are opposed to this law—opposed to the destruction of the drinking shops—he has much to learn of the opinion of New York. Those drinking shops fill poor- houses, criminal courts, and raise the taxes. Every locality in the city teaches the truth of this. And why cannot a wholesome law be administered in New York ? It is because the great mass of the best citizens of New Yerk have shrunk from the administration of the laws. It is because pot-house brawlers and the inmates of sinks of vice who deal death aroun drive from the polls, bludgeon in hand, the goo and honest citizens of New York. ‘The good citizen needs but little governing. He never resists the law. The drunkards and the trading politician oppose the administration of the law. All vice is the creation of rum. This bill passedinto a law would be of immense value to thecommunity. It would prevent vice of every conceivable character. It would work the greatest good to the greatest number. Ifthe sale was confined alone to pure liquors the evil would be vastly less: but it is al- most impossible to finda drop of pure liquor in New York, or Albany, or Troy. Adulterating establishments abroad—German Jews mix up the adulterated poison, and it is jworking the greatest mischief to the community. This is almost the only reason my we capnot have a de- cent government in New York. He considered the offect of the Maine law in Maine as excellent, though he had at first thought it et piece of legislative tyranny. Igo in favor of the bil Mx. Conaxr (dem.) denied tho existence of any consti- tutional power to submit a law to the people, or to sub- mit a question of law or merals to the people. Mr. Van Scuoonnovey (whig) denied that this had any- thing to do with the question of the bill. Pending Mr. CoyGsk’s remarks, Mr. Munroz moved it fer a special order. Mx. Wiis (whig) urged its early, very early con- sideration. ‘THE ALBANY MEDICAL COLLEGE, An imyitation from the Albany Medical College to their examination, was received, und on motion of Mx, CooLey, accepted. Recess till 4 o’clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. The consideration of the Maine law was resumed. Mr. Wi11ams commenced by alluding to the difficulties that surrounded the question. He proceeded to urge up- on the Sonate the great duty of immediately examining the subject, so that a careful judgment might be made. Why is it that the people can get every other law changed? Obsolete laws eoncerning the nale of liquor, that give mes a special charter to kill their fellow-crea- tures, {hey cannot? Let us have immediate action. ‘ar’ Puatt, (whig,) was willing to take a yote right str. Pri wanied 10 voto direct, and to strike out * arey, sore, ua it to the people.

As for the submission to the , °°: ple, it was absurd to submit that long law—so long thas the Senate itself could not find time to read it. Mr. Wricnt, (whig,) warned the friends of the bill that every amendment was proposod to defeat it. Hs acted in obedience to ten thousand petitioners, who, from his district, had expressed their views, Mr. Urnam thought the section providing for the popu- lar vote was mischievous and absurd. The law is in full force and effect, whether the people vote against it or not. Suppose the popular vote is for the law, and the next Legislature against it, men will vote for the repre- tentative they want politically. An expression of the people will be had at the general election. He would Fete for she Dill—a fair, open vote for the bill—because his constituents bad voted en masse for it, and none had remonstrated; but he wanted those sbsurd sections taken o ut. The debate took a wide range, embracing, on the ono side, an utter disbelief cf the expediency of law, or that it could be enforced; and, on the other side, that the bill was right—was the remedy for the great evil.

As the eyes of the civilized world are the more earn- estly fixed upon this part of the globe, so do events be- gin gradually te unfold the ‘ manifest destiny’ of the Aviatic empires, The pressure of the progress of civiliza- tion continues to be felt. The rebellion in China, which for a long time attracted no attention, is approaching to 8 culmination which bids fair to add another astounding item to the history of this wonderful age. The rebel army, by the last advices, was thundering at the gatex of Nankin—the Celestial troops were fled and panio- stricken—the ‘“ Manchoo-throne’’ tottering, and soon, it is to be hoped, China will be under a new dynasty, whieh Promises everything to “outside barbarians.’’ The wonderful success of this rebellion, which first com- menced a pelty revolt of » few brigand peasants, and which has swelled into s mighty expression of the voice of the people, is to be attributed to the peculiar character of its chief, Tlen-Teh, (pronounced Tine Tuk-Mgha, Celestial Brave,) @ pupil of Dr, Roberts, of Canton, un- der whom he studied the English language, and European tanner, Customs and politics. He is described as a man of great sagacity, courage and liberal principles, His Policy has been to teach the people, hitherto submitting tamely from force of habit, the abuses of the manda- rin, and the weakness and uselessness of their imperial system, Tien-Teh promises most solemly to reform these abuses and establish a more enlightened form of government at home, and the adoption of a new foreign policy, and gus- rantees the security of more equal rights and benefits to & crowded and starving population. In other words— scattering democratic principles in his country, he is un- knowingly hastening the improvement which California has, in no ordinary way, exerted in this part ef Asia. Fach Chinaman returning from Calidornia brings with him much that is valuable besides gold: he has acquired a knowledge of our institutions, maaners, and eastoms— he has reaped the benefits of our lberties—has seen tie wisdom and magnanimity of our government. Wit), ali’ these he combats old prejudices, and does kis shy ire to elevate the condition of his countrymen and ex’ ightem their understanding. Tho freedom from taxw , ra‘es, extortions, licenses, police surviellance, which * chey expe- rienos in the United States, but with which tbe” , are heavily Durthened in the English colonies and 2’ stlements, has tended to raise the Americap people ’.o their ostima- tion.

Civilization instructs her, nations weloome her, and in her turi sho finally, by the increasing pressure from the West, ytelds te des. tiny, enters the family of nations, and contributes her shere tothe sublimation of the human race. Here let the philosopher pause and reflect, that this has been caused, not by the sword mercilessly used—not by the imperious voice of » throne—not by the scheming of tricking diplomats—but by the moral tone, example, and onward march of a great and free people; who, throwing abroad their banners, thelr principles, and their privi- leges, to the Been eye of eriticism, advance into the future undismayed. confides of the purity of humar right and their ow2 doctrines.
