BPECLAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Ausayy, Juae 3, 1853. ‘The Reverend Doctor Wyckoff, who opened the session of the Senate this morning with prayer, fully appre- ciating the importance of harmony ia the secular world, congratulated bis hearers upon the final dis- position of the great question whieh has recently agitated the country, believing that all were har- monized upon the matter. [There is some doubt of ¥t.] He also alluded to the great question of the ression, and prayed that the prospeet of an amicable ad- justment may not fail. The ex:ursion to Niagara algo received his notice, and he hoped the members of the Legislature would be instructed by a view of the greatest wonder in nature, and their health improved by the excursion. [No more appropriate prayer has ever been delivered in the presence of sinful men.] Mr. Babcock rose and stated that he had received a telegraphic despatch from Butffulo, which he sent up to the clerk to be read. It is as follows:— To Tux Honore Meamers or Tux LeaiscaTune AND THE State OFFICERS OY THR SvATE oF New Youx: Will you sive the officers of the New York and Erie aud Buffalo and Now York City Railroad Companies permission to pass you upon an cxeursion from Now York, to buffalo, and upon splendid steamers to Cleveland, and return at fuch time us you may choose to designate, giving you an op- portunity to view the beautiful scenery and inagniticont pteucturcs along the route?

Mr. Babcock moved to Jay the invitation upon the table. Mr. Upham said that, as the invitation yesterday for the canal excursion was appropriately referred to the Canal Committee, «o this one should be referred to the Railroad Committee. Mr. Cornell preferred tho Committee ou Commerce, as th» invitation extended to a sail on the waters of Lake Erie. Messrs. Cooley and Bria- tol wanted to accept the invitation, and to fix the day for tehicg the excursion sometime after the close of tho ses- sion. This motion was unanimously agreed to; but no- body believes the excursion will ever take place. Then came up the resolution appointing a committee of conference, which was left undispo-ed of yesterday. Me. Cooley, who was very willing to allow the President of the Senate to select the committee. now rather seemed to back down, and offered resolutions of instructions to the joint committee, eo that in case the cominittes should be appointed by the Piesident thelr hands would be tied. ‘This proposition was vot received with mach favor, and was not passed. Mr. Cooley declared htmsetf strongly im favor of the Hadley amendment, as offere? in the Hovse. Mr. Cornell moved to amend the motion made by Mc. Bristol by inserting that the President of the Senate shall appoint the committee, This was debated for full two hours, when, the questionbeing taken, {t was lost— Messrs. Bartlet, Conger, Cornell, Dayenpo:t, Jones, Pierce, Rogers, and smith, eight. ia the affirmative; and Mesers. Heach, Bennett, Bristol, Clak, Huntington, Kir- by, Meklwain, Morgan,’ Newcomb, Piatt, Snow, Taber, Upham, Venderbilt, Van Schoonhoven, and Williams, sixteen, ip the negative. The hour for‘tatiug the recess arrived before farther action, NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. EXTRA SESSION. Senate. Auwany, June 3, 1853. ANOTIRR RATLROAD INVITATION An Invitation from the Buffalo City aud New York and Frie Railroad Company, to pass over thelr roads and visi Cleveland, was accepted for some convenient time sfter the adjournment. THM CANAL QUESTION. The question coming up on the appointment of a Com- mitice of Conference, Bir. ComEy (dem.) suggested a set of instructions to the committee that shoulc be appointed. Seid inatructions are as follows :— Whereas the inczeasing demands of c»mmorca require the completion of tho krio ai monty and the lateral canals, at the earliest moment practicable ; and whereas the stupendous efforts put teeth by the Canadian pro- virces. and in several of our sister States of the Union, to divert the trade of the West from its natural and accns- tomed current through Jur canals and tho [iudsoxt river, down to the great ¢M@mercial emporium of this continent, thereby threstentad to diminish the revenues of the canals, and to-arrest ‘20 growing prosperity of tho State ; tuere: That the Senate insist upon retaining in the resolvins that clause inviolate which provides for the completion of the works in four years from the time when the proposed amendment shall be ratified by the people. and to consent to no modification extending the timo beyond the plan of the Senate. And Whereas, It was neyor contemplated in any mannor to sanction the lettings of the canal contracts of the law of 1861, declared unconstitutional; and therefore the committce are instructed to agree to the incorporation into the Senate plan of that portion of the Assembly provision which guards agaist any construction which might lead to the possible revival of the contracts, Also, thut the committee be in- structed against agreeing to the permission clauso of tho ‘A‘sembly’s amendment, and to adhero.to the mandatory and imperative language, a8 the people distinetly desire, ir, COOLEY considered it eminently proper that the repudiated contracts should not be revived, or any ac tion token that would seem to look like it. Is was poper that he should move the instruction, as he had falsely been charged with the desice to bring the-e up again. With these instruc;ions it matters but Intde who is on the committee, Mr. Bristot (dem.) doubied whether the instructions wore in oder Dow. Mr. Coo.xy would not press the instructions until the proper time has arrived. He did not wish to embarrass the Senate. Mr. Briston thought it would emberrass the Senate and the committee. He did not hold himselt bound to draw & line beyond which he would not pass. Mr. B. was for givirg the committee liberty to compromise. Mr. Coorzy—However much the Senator from tho Twenty third way be willing to compromise, I have de- clared I am not in favor of compromising anything which will lengthen the period beyond four years, oc which shall take away the mandatory clause of tho Senator's plan. From first to last he had opposed tuo contracts as fraudulent, and he wos willing to take the proper provision, incorporated by the House, in respect to that subject. The people want the work done, und wiil adopt the meesures which seem most likely to carry that into effect. Dir. Concen (dem.) called for the reading of the reso- lutions eg ain ‘After the CLERK bad proceeded. Mr. Prarr (whiz) said the resolutions had onee been read, and the very Senator calling for their perusal is not attending to then, Mr Van cho snoveN (whig)—Verhsps he is taking an abstiact of them rs Mr. Conon hoped the Serste did not belioW him inat- tentiye. Rebuke came with a grace, indeed, from the Senator from the Iwelfth, whO was in a do-e whon he (Mr. C.) was arguing yesterday. Mr. Van Scuooxnoven-—Under such an argument a dose is clearly admicsible. Mr, Conness (dem.) moved to select the committee of conference by the Chair. Mr. TaneR (whig) explained the views which led him to epprove of the naming of the committee by the Seuate. ‘The members proper for the committee have beon desig- nated, and the question of courtesy between them and the Chair is embarrassing. Courtesy to those most respectat/e geatlemen outeeighs the other considera- tion, In the Senate of the United States, where the ut- mort courtesy wan akown to each other, the appointinent of a the committees was vested in the vote of the Senate itself. Mr. Concer did not understand that courtesy which overlooked the substance and seized the shadow. It was bat casuists who could understand that. The yote of the Senate had been to conclusive that it was not to be pra- sumed that the presidicg oficer would construct » com- wittee adverse to the opinion expressed by the majorit; He pointed to the course of the Senator from the Twent; third (Mr. Bristol ) He had been a friend of the coi tractors, and he was the author of this resolution for the taking the me from the Chair. The Senstor from the Twenty-eight, (Mr. Upham,) is of the committee named. Why, that Senntor has fully endorsed those contracts in bis report. He (Mr. C.) could not vote for him. Mr. Tasen—There was a mysterious sort of State rap- pings to call up the deceased contracts. The Senator from the Seventh is troubled about this The contracts were thrice dead. The very Senate plan contains a clause, moyed by himself, which secured that. Mr. Cornett alwoys looked curiously at the assumed coolness and ‘aires of the Senator from the K'eventh He thought something was coming when that Senator suggested last evening time for reflection. It was evident caucus was to be held somewhere, The contracwrs were to be heard. The Senator’s rule of courtesy seemed to be ove which only sprung into action when it lighted on the right individual, the Lieut, Governor, removed from the heat of discussion, and all partialities and pre judicen, and whose appointments have given such univer- fol sati faction. Mr. Van Scrioonnoven said the fairness of the I Governor did not enter into this quostion. It was enough | for him to know where his duty was. That duty was to keep this subject in the hands of the Senate, where ita views might be reflected. Mr. Prance (dem. ) said the Senator disclosed the motive yower.

The psssengers might all haye been gnfely landed, and much, if notéll of the cargo might bave been saved, though perhaps in a damaged state, The statement of Capt. Stiuson, thatthe went down, was false. She was found 1 afterwards, at leas’ twenty miles from the place she struck; and if'the passengers had not beem taken off, they doubtless, by working the pumgs, couid Lave kept her afloat longer. ‘The agents of the British Government at Nassau have taken charge of the passengers saved from the William and Mary, ave they wil: be forwarded to New Orleans, the point of their destivation. dir. Bacon ioforms us that a considerable fund had been raised by private subscription, among the good citizens of Nassau, to purebase supplios for the more needy of these unfortunate su“erers. Mr. B. also informs us that the British passenger act of 1852, makes full provisson for disasters of this kind, and the entize cos: of maintaining theso passengers, althougl borne, in the first instance, by the British geverament, becomes, by a section of that act, a ccowa debt, and is recoverable from the owners, master, agents, and char- terers of the ship—a bond being given at the port from whence the ship snils to cover any such contingencies. cost of maintaining the passengers at Nassau, and traas- portiog them to New Orleans, will be about $1,000, We ecd the following particulars, which we fiad in the Bahama (at Nasrau) Herald of thie 14th ‘The American ehip William and Mary, of Bath, Maine, Stinson, master, from Liverpool for New Or! 3, with @ cargo of railroad iron, pig iron, dry gcods, and crockery, aud cne hundred and eigh'y emigrant passengers, struck ‘on & #mall rock, _ eine feet under wator,) near the Great Isaacs, on Tuesday evening, May 2, at twenty minutes past 8 o’clock.

Diseerning the land about eight miles ahead, they slipped the chain and tried to the ship under way. in order if possible, to reach ¢ land snd run the ship ashore; but the parsengers could rend¢r but little assistance in workizg the ship. and they were therefore unable to do so. \d_ not the captain and crew deserted the ship. it is the conviction of the feamen referred to, thatthe ship might have been rua ushere.
