SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Aupany, June 14, 1853. This has been one of the most exciting, interesting and unusual busy and stirring days since the Legislature con- vened, on the first Tuesday of January last. At 11 o’clock the House took up the constitutional amendments, when Mr. Loomis made a speéch urging their adoption. He said the proposition agreed upon and submitted, was neither the Vanderbilt or West plan, but a part of both. The com: mittee of each branch had yielded sufficient for the sfke of harmony, to present a united report. He was followed by Mr, Burroughs, who assumed some considerable degree of eredit in having been an early advocate of am amendment of the constitution, He thought the nine millions pro- pored would be insufficient to finish the works and pay the epermous amount of land damages. Mr. Shaw moved the previous question, when, at a quarter to one o’clock, the question was taken, and every member pre- sent—one hundred and six—voted in favor of the pro- Position to amend the constituticn as agreed upon by the committee, and as published in the Hxraup of yesterday. The Senate Chambar was crowded to excess; the specta- tors were more numerous than on any previous day of the extra session. Every Senator was in his seat, except the Honorable Mr. McMurray. Even Mr. Taber, whose ill- ness has prevented his attendance for several days, was on hand; Mr. Beach was also here, though he paired off with Mr. McMurray, kept his faith, and did not take any action, At twelve o’clock, Lieutenant Governor Church announced the Senaie to be in executive session. Silence at once reigned triumphant—all talking, whispering and walking ceased. The President had before him a large budget. But what did it contain? Who are the lucky individuals who have managed, by hook and by crook, to get their names inscribed on the executive slate? All gazed, and every ear was wide open. ‘A message from the Governor,” said the President, Mr: Barnes, the very gentlemanly clerk, read as follows:— Lhereby nominate the following persons as Notaries Public of the city of New York New York City—James M, Bsldwin, Edward P.

Shultz; James W. Smith, yico Owen Breuun; Charles Livingston, vice Gideon Foun: tain; Martin L. Bryant, vice Charles Chamberlain; William Beard, vice Henry Kip. And those below for New York, to reside in Brooklyn:;— Jerome Ryerson, vice Luke C. Ry for; Gourge Remsen, vice Francis B. Spinola. ‘Alexander F. Vache, M. D., was nominated for physi- cian to the Marize Hospital on Staten I-land The Presi- dent eaid this nomination would be referred to Senators from the First Judicial district. Mr. Cooley thought it would be proper to refer it to Senators representing the First distiict, as it proposed the nominee should reside therein. The President stated that rule war plain, that the no- minations rhould be referred to Senators rapresenting Gistricts in which appoicteos reside, Mr. Covley mace no reply. Mr. Cornell then moved that the resclution adopted some two mentbs since, laying pie the table the nomi- pation of Jerome Briggs as Superintendent of salt springs, be reconsidered. ’ Mr. Upham called the ayes and nays. Tho motion was lest by Euirteen to ceventeen, Menara Cooley and Vaod bilt voting against it. The Senate then resumed legiala- tive business, and proceeded with the third reading of bills. + The Pacific Railroad bill obtained seventeen votes, just the constitutional majority. It has been fought against with more energy and perseverance by the strongest mem- bers of the Senate, than any other measure; but the i domitable perseverance of Senator Bennett was the mea of its passage. We bespeak for him the first compli- mentary ticket. ' Then the Senate took up the Maine liquor bill, This was @ very appropriate movement, with the thermo- meter at ninety, and several honorable teetotalers parting for a breath of fresh air. Although every secator Be trict temperance man, still by means of some mireculous, singular influence, the time until recess wes consumed without arriving at the question upon its pasenge. Nesrly the whole afternoon was also spent on this bill, and on arriving at a vote lt passed, as follows: — Aves—Messrs. Beach. Bristol, C!

A large number of notaries public were nominated, and the following harbor masters :— William Miner, Jamos W. Smith, Charles Livingston, Morris L. Bryant, William Baird, for Sew York.

But, sextoniely, Believed the wine of this bill would be desire to cut inet it any way. The amenders of the bill off its tail—jus ind its ears! Mr, Coorzy was a friend of the bill, but he thought it unfair to deprive Senators of the opportunity of amending or proporing to amend; and it was wrong to attribute im- pure motives to those who oppose it. It might be well to pig the Senator from the Twenty:sixth, (Mr. Cornell,) aay to retrieve a position which he seems ap- prehen: he bas lost w2:h his constituents. Mr. Pisrce (dem )—Was there not an astonishingly thia Senate a few moments after this bill was called? Mr. Brexuan (whig) believed the bill would be upset by every United States court that acts upon it. He instanced the judicial examination and decision in New Hampshire x bby Kate ued im a general review of the constitutionslity’ e bill.

The electors of the Thirty-second Senatorial district have been poisoned long enough, and they ask protection. Mr. Bristor continued in advocacy of the bill. Mr. CoxceR (dem.) advocated the election of commis- sioners of excise. A recess was taken till 4, AFTERNOON SESSION. ‘THE WILLIAMSBURG RAILROAD BILL. The Williamsburg Railroad bill was recommitted on the motion of Mr. Vasderbilt. THE MAINE LAW—ITS PASSAGE. The question pending being on a motion to send the Maine Law to a Committee of the Whole Mr. Purnce (dem ) said his object was to have the ab- surd clause, providing for an abstract opinion om the part of the people, stricken out. ‘The Senate refured to recommit, by ayes 9, nays 12. Mr Piarr, (whig) said a large ‘body of strong minded women had been, in the early part of the winter, petition- jog for this bill, and it was thonght it would be success- ful; but the bill was not in the shape that some gent men wished, who desired to use the bill at the election; eo it is to be brought up with a clause just made to be dodged at, so that men who vote for the bill now, may vote against itin November, and thus ride both hor: He urged the friends of the bill to place it, without thia unusual appendage, before the Senate, so that a fair out right vote might be given. ir. VAN ScHooNHOVEN relied om the good sense of the Asrembly—they would save the State from a iaw in this obnoxious shape. He denounced the submission clause of the bill ase shield to cover those who thought to turn the bill to political effect. The Senate refused to recommend to strike out the sub- mission clause, by ayes 8, nays 18, The bill was then read. Mr. McEnwain (whig) asked unanimous conseat to strike out the clause disqualifying certain persons frem acting as jurors. Objected to, Mr. Mckiwain then moved to recommit, to be reported forthwith, with the amendmeat he had suggested. The Senate refured. Mr. Pierce moved to amend so as to change the locse diction in which tht words ‘‘near” and ‘at’ are used, Mr. Baucock (whig) thought the Senator from the Tenth all wrong. The Senate refused. ‘Mr. CLARK (whig) desized to take the question again on the section for the submission to the people at the next election. Thpught to be understood that the bill goes into effect on the Ist day of March, 1854; but that, at the next election, in November, 1853, the ‘people are to vote *‘yes" or “no’’ on the question of approval of the Maine law. ‘The Scnate refused by ayes 9 te nays 21, to reconsider, which was equivalent to refusing to strike out the sec tion. ‘The bill was then passed, THE CANAL RESOLUTIONS Came up from the Assembly, when Mc, VaNpeRnit (dem ) moved that they be made the special order for te- morrow, Mr. Wricur, (whig).—Let the vote be taken now. ‘The Prestwent.—Under the rules they cannot lie over.

Pending a debate ox this amend ment, the bour arrived for taking up the special order, PASSAGE OF THB CANAL COMPROMISE, The question was upon the final readisg of the concur- rent resolutions reported yesterday by the Conference Committee. Mr. Loomis, (dem ) of Herkimer, took the floor, and proceeded to stow the distinctive features of the rerolu- tions as they now stood. He noticed the considerations that bad guided the committee, and examined in detail the amendments to the constitution proposed. No far- ther ehange bad been wade in the constitution than wi necessaty to accomplish their desired object. It is a leged that this is the Vanderbilt plan. He said it might, with the same propriety, be culled the plan of the House, with deviations. The amount per year was yield- ed, as the time (four years) had been insisted upon by the Senate committee. Although be thought still it was too large for scouring, yet he yielded for the auke of bar- wonious action, as the point ‘was nn unimportant one. ‘The whole committee bad concluded that there was no dif- ference between ‘may’? and shall.” The committee insisted that concessions had been made on the part of ‘both, He hoped it would now meet the unanimous ap- proval of all in the house. He alluded, in closing, to the necesity that now existed fora change in the constitu- tion, in order to enlarge the canals. He also spoke of ef forts that wera making to prevent cordial co-opération in sup, i of the resolutions, which he hoped would entire- ly fail. Mr: Burrovans (ind, dem ) of Orleans, followed. He understocd the proposition to be to raise $2,290,000 in each year forfour years, which, with # Joan of $1,690,000 to pay ¢ @ canal revenue certificates, make a dedt of $10,- 500,000, He did not regard this sufficient, nor did a reliance upon surplus revenues, render it sufficient. A lazge sum must be expended yearly to keep the canais in repair, a sum he thought that would be nearly equal to tho surplus revenues, leaving not more than enough to poy, the interest proposed. No estimate had been made for land damages, for which # large sum was needed. He ‘aw no prospect for an increase of tolls within three or four years, upon any canal unless it was the Oswego. He desired to barrow enough money to eom- plete the enlargement, and neither limit the sum nor the time. He would borrow enough fin- ish it, and make the time short enough to pilence all objections, and make the language an strong and as plain as could be found in Webster's dictionary. alluded to the bore of the gentleman from Herkimer, (Mr. Loomis.)

He bad ne hope of inserting ‘a word, of dotting an ‘‘i”’ or crossing a ‘'t’’ in the rese- lution; but he desired before the vote was taken to ex- press his opinion concerning it. He saw inthe future only hope—he saw no certainty, The friends of canals must be active and watchful for four years tocome. He wae, however, thankful for what had been done, It was the highest step that had been reached, and he should vote for it if he found it was the best he could de.

Hour now e at \vor! of tho sesion had been Sopored nity for recalling a too bi pon to the interests of the State. Mr. Ciarr, (whiz) regarded the Canal question as not et disposed of, thought it had yet to be acted upon the people, Ané not until after its completion could he sanction mozontion that would prove 80 ruinous to it. He admit it his constituents were opposed to it, but he bad other and more weighty reasons against it. Asa friend of the Erie Canal he was op toit, ye ee eg rea me (whig, awego, he gent! would not forget other portions of the for Buffalo. He thought there should priy interestin such enenterpriee. Nor did he believe it was sntagonistical to the interests of the Erie Canal. As anhonest man he did not think the project wouldin the least impair the revenues of the Erie Cs ; if he did, he would vote against it. But the great west had as yet sent but a tithe of what she had in store for us. He desired to direct from achannel upon the Queen’s agi a trade that might yield its its to this Mr. Burrovans —This was a project to construct a canal, nine miles in length, said to cost $5,000,000, by a wate company, to receive for it 2.600.000 acres of land. le thought the canal would not cost $5,000,000, It was an over estimate, for the purpose of private speculation.

SUMMARY, Jobn Allen names Silver Tail. tural Society. ‘The June exhibition of the New York Horticultural Se- ciety was opened for the inspection of the publio yester- day, at Metropolitan Hall. The doorway in front of the hallwas neatly ornamented with arches of evergreens, and as we approached the entrance to the exhibition room, numerous cedar, palm and pine trees met our view, set in large boxes, painted green. With the gaslight reflecting on them they presented a very fine appearance, One would imagine himself to be somewhere im the neighborhcod of the Elysian Fields rather than in the midst of this noisy and vast metropolis. ‘The exhibition room presented a truly beautiful sight. On first entering, our eye was attracted by a magnificent faschia, some six feet high, covered with blossoms, around which were placed several plants jof that species; but none of them were equal in beauty or size to the one first mentioned. A large table, running parallel with the wall, was com- pletely hidden from view by roses of all species and eolers, deposited in tubs full of water. In the middle ef the room was placed a largo tank of water, which contained the far famed Victoria regia, the property of Caleb Cope, E:q. The plant consisted of three large leaves about three: or four feet in diameter, two of which were « dark and the other a purple color. On the right side of the room, on a long table, were placed in pots some two or three hundred pier tom of all sizes, colors and species. These were by fur the finest specimens of that flower that has ever been produced by the society, Around the Vie- toria by as were seven octagon shaped tables, containing flowers of all description. Among them we noticed seve- ral fine specimens of geraniums, verbenas, fuschias, pam- sles, cacti, carnations, and ee aud some beautiful picoes of furniture and hot house implements, made from the branches of trees. On the lett side of the hall were ranged tables, on which were placed vegeta- bles and iruit of all ids in profusion. There might be seen fine specimens of cauliflowers, potatoes, as, beans, cucumbers, cabbages, rhubarb, lettuce, rad- hes, and beets. Some of them were very large for this on of the year, and will no doubt be looked upom with reat favor by the vegetarian portion of the visiters. The iruits consisted of strawberries ard cheries, and were far the most inviting part of the exhibition, as the fruit was of a very fine aud tempting description. .e platform or stage at the end cf the room wan the ief feature of attraction. Here were arranged with great care and neatuess fragrant hot house plants, con- tinting of the beautiful orange and lemon trees, cati, pelorgoniums, calceolarias, roses, and fuschias. The perfume from these plants was indeed delizhifal--not ail unlike the Gelicious odor of the gardens of or those of rome princely nabob of Groat, Britain. entire affair was well got up, aud conducted in a mannec highly creditable to the several committees who were ap- pointed for the purpore of exhibiting to the people the result of the Horticultural Society's labors for the past six months. The exhibition will remain open for the patronoge of the public until to-morrow, whea the prises will be awarded by the judges, to the ouccessful owners af the best productions of fruits and flowers, Personal Intelligence.
