SPH {AL CORRESPONDENCE OF THK NEW YORK HERALD, LEGISLATIVE DOINGS ON MONDAY—THE TEMPERANCE ART UNION INVASTIGATION—THE SUPPLY BILL, i! Aupany, Monday, June 20, 1853. Attempts were made to organize both houses of the Legislature to-day, at 12 0’clock, pursuant to adjourn- ment on Friday last. It was unsuccessful in the upper ranch, only sixteen Senators appearing, and that honor. able and dignified body adjourned until to-morrow morning. A bare quorum attended in the House. No business worthy of note was transacted. Mr. Stanford offered a joint resolution proposing an adjournment, sin die, on Friday, the 24th instant. It was manife-tly received with considerable disfavor, and several members rose to oppose it. The speaker ruled that, beiug concurrent, it mast lie vera day. The symptoms exhibited upon its introduc- tion indicate apything but an adjournment much earlier than the first proximo. Mr. Chatfield desired to make the temperance bill a spe cial order for Wednesday, immediately atter the Mather vase is disposed of, The ayes and nays were takea, anda majority of six or eight was opposed to it The same gentleman called up a resolution, heretofore offered, de: claring ageinst paying members three do'lars a day dur- ing the recess, from the 15th of April to the 2ith of May. Mr. Burroughs and Mr. Loomis both agreed that Fuch a resolution was useless, as the constitution and laws made ample provision in the premises. But there is a manifest difference between serving the State during » regular session of the hundred days, and sitting during fan extra session. In the former case members shall not receive more than three hundred dollars during a regular legislative session, should it continue for » twelvem nth; whereas, during a special or extra session, the constitu- tion expressly provides for paying members not leas than three dollars per day, bat does not restrict them from vot- ing themselves larger sum. It says, * When convened in extra ression by the governor, they shall receive three dollars per day.” This is the smallest sum allowed them. But there is no clause that prohibits them from passing alaw adding as much more asa majorty may please. Mr. Russell Smith moved to lay che motion on the tabie, ‘which was carried ‘ A communication was read from Mr. Cozzens, who claims to be President of the Art Union, complainivg quite biitesly of certain portions of the reporc recently submitted by the committee of investigation It states that the insiitution, though at present somewhat crip led and embarrassed, is no: defunct, and hopes are ea- tained ofits revival.

Thecurrect is now strongly pet ia this direction, and if its friends move actively and harmoniously, it can be secured before the speculators of Jones’ woods can prepare for opposition At four o'clock, some thirty or forty members of th House appeared. ‘Mr Russeli Smith moved a call of the House, which was not sustsined. After # lite conver- sation as to what was to be dove, Mr. durroughs again moved a call of the House, und it was sustained. The Speaker directed the Clerk to call the roll, when only for- ty eight members responded. A Mr. Searizg moved a suspension of the call, which was 7 ‘ The names of the absent members were placed in the hands of the Sergeant-at-arms. He broughtin Mr. Car- penter, who rencered an excare which was satisfactory, Several other members were vow let in by the door. er. which being observed, they were all ordered back without the bar. Mr. Loomis then moved to suspend the call, which was carried The outside members then took their seats, A soene of coufusion, rejoicing, and private reprimandiog. Mr. Ciaop inquired whether a motion toadjourn sine die would be in o.der? The Speaker ruled that it required a concurrent vote of both Houses. Mr. Clapp then I would move that the House ad- journ for two days, in order thar members might have time to return from their homes No motion to this eifect ‘wan beara by the Soesker.

To-morrow ia executive day. Will the Harbor Masters be confirmed? Ww. EXECUTIVE SESSION DAY—QGREAT EXCITEMENT BUT ONLY A FEW NOMINATIONS, NOTARIES, CONFIRM- ED—THE MATHER CASE, ETO. ALwaxy, June 21, 1853, The Senate proceeded in regular order with the third reading of bills and other matters of ordinary conse- quence, until the hour of 12, when Licutemant Governor Church rapped with his presiding mallet, and declared the Senate in executive session, As every body knew that it would be held with cyen doors, the lobbies, en- ‘trances and anti-gooms were filled with anxious listeners. ‘Tae Governor sent up the names of John a. Kennedy and J. 8. Donnelly as Commissioners of Emigration, in place ‘of two others, whove terms had expired. Several Loan Nearly an hour was spentin thiy species | 4 Commissioners were also nominated, and 4 number of notaries, The President then called for reports of committees. The First Judicial district was called, but the Senators did not present any report upon the Harbor Masters, Burgeon to the Marine Hospital, &. Mr. Vanderbilt, from the Second district, reported in favor of confirming the two Harbor Masters for Brooklyn. Mr. Upham moved to lay on the table. Mr. Cooley seconded the mo- tion. Avote being taken, it was decided in the affirma- tive, 16 to 14, Mr. Cooley voting with the whigs. Mr. Pierce then moved that the Senators from the First Judicial district, M Beekman, Morgan, and New comb, be discharged from the further consideration of th os in their bands, and that the Harbor Masters be confirmed He thought it very doubtful whether those Senators would ever report. Mr Morgan gave asa reason why the committee was unable to agree upon a report that in relation to the harbor masters the committee had about balf an hour since received a large number of papers and com munications from the Governor. which being xo volumt: nour that it was utterly impossible to give them an ex- amination and consideration upon such short notice. Mr. Beekman bad alao received a large number of simiar ents just previous to going into executive session papers are the petitions sent to the Governor, or presented personally by the several applicants whose names are on the slate Mr. Cornel thought it a duty for the Senate to dis- er trouble in examining charge the committee from fur tbe character and qualifications of democratic nominees Mr. Cooley remarked that although he waa extremely desirour to dispose of these nominations still he was not prepared io do.xo today. His excellency has had g: difficulty; he has been occupied some six months in making the selections, and Mr C thought it wax hurry: ing the Senate rather too fast to compel them to make a decision the Brst executive session after being announced. The Senators from the city of New York have as much knosledge of tke necessary qualifications as either the gentiewen from the Tenth (Mr. Pierce) or the Twenty- sixth (Mr. Cornell ) Mr. Pierce said the committee had been favored with awple time, during the last seven days. to make an ex- amination. They could do so in five minutes. It is only a want of inclination which prevents them from report ing Mr. Babcock thought the democracy themselves were not altoge her pleased with the names which his Excel- lency bad selected for Harbor Masters; and, in con- firmation, be read extracts from the New York True Na- tional Democrat and Sunday Atlas, both of whose columus eonteined articles denouncing thore names, Mr. B said that in conseque: ce cf those articles in the democratic bewspapers, the committee ought to pur-ue their inqui- ries with due caution. The debate was continued by other Senators, when the question was taken on Mr. Pierce's motion, and lost, ayes 11, rays 18. Mr. Conger reported in favor of two nominess for nota- ries of the Second Judicial district. Mr. Cooley had not been cousulted, apd manifested considerable iodigoation thereat. A debate sprang up between those two honora- ble Senators. of a stirring character, during which the famous O'Sullivan paper, which caused some ill feeling during the regular session, was alluded to, and the actioa ‘ef Mr. Conger, in preserting it. remarked upon. That Fentlemsn stands ready to vindicate himself whenever ine may please to call up his resolution on the subject. Several notaries were confirmed, and the Exesutive sersion adjcurned, without teking up either the harbor masters or Dr. Vache. Mr Cooley intimated his wi ling: nest to vote for the latter, if the committee would report. So Alexander H Shultz & Co. will likely be permitted to hold over six er eight months longer. The House took up the Mather resolutions, and Messrs. Loomis, Hastings, D. B. Taylor, and others, consumed the session in speaking The subject hax become thread- bare, and the members are anxious fora vote, which will be taken at twelve o’clock to morrow. The Senate spent an hour and a balf in the afternoon in endeavoring te proceed to business. Mr. Vanderbilt wanted to toke up the bill making the Auditer of the Canal Department elected by the people Mr. Beekman wanted to pars the Pennsylvania Coal Company bill Mr, Pierce wanted the Supuly bill. Mr. Davenport. wanted the Moose river bill. and #0 cn, and to forth. The heat was intolerable—Senators sweating and puffing—whea Mr. Otis happily came to the relief of all. by moving an adjournment, which was promptly crrried. In two mi- nutes the chamber and lobbies were empty. Ww. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE, EXTRA SESSION. Senate. Aupany, June 21, 1853.

(dem ) desired to know the reasons, The vote was taken, and the motion of Mr, Upham pre- vaile Mr. Prence (dem.) moved to discharge the Senator from the First Judicial District, in relation to the New York harbor master, and that the same be confirmed. Mr. Wricht (whig)—This is . very singular course. The Senator bas not arked to be discharged. He may have been too busy to attend to it. Mr. MonGaN—There are several nominations before us, feventy or eighty motions, and the whole, including those referred to to-day, would be brought up. Commu: nications from the Executive, in relation to, the other pemipations, have been within the last half honr re ceived, which the committee have not yet had time to examine He is and had been taking information mn re- Jation to the nominees. Mr. Conners, was apprehensive that unless the Senate relieved these Senators from the embarrassment of ascer. taining whether democratic nominees are fit to hold office, those Senators would find the duty a perpetual one. Mr. BeRKMAN, (whig)—It would be very disrespectful to consider these nominations, while these communica- tions were unexemired. Mr. Coozy--The valuable documents presented by the Executive certainly ought to be examined It is well known that the Executive has for six months been occu- pied in endeavoring to ascertain the proper nomination. kven yet the entire number of the offices are not filled. ‘These uominees live in New York, and he believed the Senators from the city as competent to decide as the ho: norable Senators from Chemung and Ulster, There is no hot haste in this hot weather. Mr. Prence could not think that there nominees were incompetent or unfit; no such iden existed in the mind of any Senator. This committee has had ample time. It is the inclination, not the time, that is wanting, It seems to be the pursuit of knowledge under difficulties, Mr. Coorry—Yes, the Executive has taken six montha, Mr. Prenck—It is a want of inclination, The further they go the difficulties increase. Mr. Bancocx (whig) thought the course designed by the Senator from the Tenth (Mr. Pierce) a very unusual ene. Even the politicul friends of the nominees seem to Goubt it. And. Mr. B. quoted the True Democrat which saya the nominees are utterly repugnant to the demo- crocy.”” Surely this ix cautionary to the cemmittes Nor in this opinion confined to ove paper. He quoted the New York Atias as confirming the views taken by the Democrat. Mr. Connxut thought some Senators wete very slow fm obtaining the information.

A motion to refer the bill to the Judiciary Committes, to report complete, was lost. ‘THE IMPFACIMENT CASE, The special order being the resolution to impeach John ©. Mather, was then announced. Mr. Loomis, (dem.) of Herkimer, had consent to offer the following preamble and resolution, which lie over un- der the rule: Whereas, resolutions have been presented to this House, instructing the Select Committee, who reported the resolu: tion to impeach Jehn C.

It was said that the tablea would turp, and our friends be asrailed. He asked them to come en and bring charges, if they bad any, against them, and denounced the idea that such motives bad actuated the movement. Mr L reviewed the posi tion ef the gentleman from New York,@(Mr. Sha#,) that of opposition to impeschment in apy case, claiming that it was a duty clearly incumbent upon us, as pointed out by the constitution, He desired to say, before going farther. that he considered the report of the committee sppointed to examine into the Treasurer's accounts a bold and clear statement, showing that a thorough ex emivation bad been made, ard implicating more or lesa every officer concerned. Not, perhaps, ho wished to be understood sufficiently to render them all worthy of such a vote of public censure. as it was aw proposed to in stitute against one of them, but implicating in a slight or greater degree. The committee did their duty, and we have pow a duty on our part to perform. Hi if this was not a case for the interference of thia when such a care would occur. He could conceive ot no care more loudly calling for such action om the part of this House then the one before ua. Mr. Hastings (whig), of Monroe, desired to shoulder bis part of the responsibility of the House, and direc faras he could a correct decision. He was sure no one would charge him with being influenced by party. or by pertonsl consideration, for he had no hopes in that quar ter. He only desired to act without prejudice, aud in such # manner as to satisfy the people of the State. There ws+ a stern necessity for coming to the consideration with feelings unbiased, judgment unwarped. He apiealed to those who had unwittingly been led to av expression of opivioa, to jay avide all prejudice, and corsider the case fairly. Outside intluences to preju: dice members of thie House during the consideration of a question. deverved severe criticiam.

He thought with the gentleman from Herkimer, (Mr. Loomis), that this hue and cry had been ‘gotten up to secure the accused part; from censure The committee bad, so far as he could see done its duty they bad done more; they were under no obligations to give the accused a hearing. Their duty was but to ox: emine documents, and see if the charges should be made. It was an examination only. And it was a recent enact ment to allow an accusing body to receive any excnl patory evidence. ‘The committee was simply an accusin; party, not this House We have nothing to do wit the decision; we are only to decide whether a srocee*ing chall be instituted. He was not Magid to ray that they did pot act wisely in not notifying the commission er. But farther; the accused knew what war to come be the committes; it was no surprise. For these and other reasons he did not consider it right to vet in judgment ané pronounce a harsh decision upon the action ot the em mittee. Who, he asked, introduced the resolution? Who made such eloquent remarks, urging action in thezcase? He bad limeeif felt to-trueted—enpobled by the sugges tions of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Shaw), An impeachment he regarded simply as an expression of a dereliction of duty on the part of a public officer.

The question was’ did he violate law? Not, was the plan the best one, or the work sueh as the people of Troy and of the State approve. The Isw was not complied with.

Chureh, Judge Van Wysk, and others, ‘The Secretary read @ paper relative to Califorais three hundred and twenty years ago—it was originally pub- lished in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal So- ciety of London in 1731. The paper tates that the population of California at the time above specified, was great, and inhabited by a ively, witty people; the climate described as it is now, remarkable for its health, and the soil for its astonishing vegetable productions, its valleys affording food the whole year through for both “largeand smailcattle ” The Jesuit missionaries earried cows, horses, sheep, and hogs there. ‘The natives did not like the hogs on account of the dam- age they oceasione’,and were consequently destroy ed. The aborigines lived in perfect abuudavco, without care and without the slightest interest in workiag the mines, although they were known to exist. It also speaks of the pearl fishery on the coast, and the abuadance of vegetables, fruit and grain, of which there were fuurteen kinds, The vegetables that tbe missionaries carried there, grew to an immense size and great perfection. With respect to Long Island lands, which had been so wuch talked of at the two previons meetings, when discussing the subject of “sandy soils,” the followiag fact was 1ecoréed:—Edwin Johnson bas from cue to two thousand acres on the south side of: Long Island, about 47 miles from New York, where the land {s no better, if as good, as about Lakeland station, He has this year grown carrots twenty two acres, beets eight aeres, He ertimates the carrot crop at eight hundred bushels per a orth from thirty to forty conis per bushel, or from six to seven thousand dollare for the crop. Mr. Ireland, who has a farm in the vicinity, thinks the Lake- land station soils better than his. Judge Muics. the secretary, then read a paper on the disease in vines. being a translation from a report on the subject prevented to the French Minister of the Iate- rior by Victor Rendu, Inspector Geveral of Agriculture. This disease had its birth in England, where it was first noticed by Messrs. Tucker & Berkley It was concentra ted in 1845, in some bothouses at Margate, popular place of summer resort for sea. bathing, on the seacoast of Kevt, and from where it soon spread In 1848 the conservatories of Baron Kothschild were invaded oy it, and in the following year the vineyards of Puteaux and Surenne, in France were attacked, Io 1850 all the vicivity of Paris suffered from it, In 1861 it Grst fell upon Italy aud the South +f Fra:ce. In the mighborhood of Vasis it destroyed alwo-t the whole crop. [i that year the malady was avgravated by an uousual temperature, avd Piedmont, in Italy, was forced to come to France to reek a portion of her wine. In the spring of 1852 a cry of alarm from Montpelier aud Marseilles, two lurge cities in the South of Franee, was beard, which was re echoed from vhe Eastern Pyrenees, and cther departments of France, It raged no Jess in Italy. and destroyed the grape vines of penily every country in Europe.

ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT. FOUR DAYS LATER INTELLIGENCE. The Position of the Russo-Turkish Question. Rennie Com. Vanderbilt's Visit to Europe, and the English Opinion of the Enterprise. STATE OF THE MARKETS, ke, &e., ke. The United States mail steamship Humboldt, Capt. J. D. Lines, arrived at this port at three o’clock yesterday afternoon, She left Havre at noon on the Sth instant, and” touched off Cowes the eame night for the London mails sent via Southampton. She passed the Needles 8 A. M., June 9, having deen detained bya thick fog. The Humboldt brings the usual mails, 125 pas- sengers, 550 tons merchandise, fifteen fine merino sheep, a valuable Norman stud-horse, and five brood mares. Amongst the passengers are Mrs. Col. Fremont and family ; R. Schleiden, spacial envoy from’ Bre- men to the United States; R. Bingham, Esq., Con- su! General and Charge from the English govern ment to Caracas; N. Brown, late United States Consul at Rome; R. W. Sykes, Esq., bearer of despatches trom the United States Legation at Paris, and the Rey. E. E. Adams, of the American Chapa at Havre. The news by the Humboldt is fully four days later than received by the Asia, and we have, in fact, London journals of five days later date than brought by that steamer, in consequence of the early hour at which the Asia left the Mersey on the 4th inst. The Cambria arrived at Liverpool on the 6th inst. The U.S: mail‘steamer Baltic arrived in the Mer- sey on the evening of the 7th inst. The subjoined important intelligence was publish- ed ina third edition of the London Z'imes, of the ‘7th instant :— We have received a telegraphic message from Berlin, stating that intelligence had reachea ‘hat capital from St. Petersburg, in which it is announced that the Eqipe- ror of Russia had despatched a courier to Coustantine- ple, & aemand that Prinee Meoschikofl’e last pre- oral should be accepted by the rurte within eight ny a. The accounts from Lyons regarding the silk mar- ket state that great activity had been shown during the past month, and that prices were firm. The state of the approaching crop was satisfactory. Brandies had risen in France geverally. A rise had taken place, both in Paris and the pro- vinces, in the price of flour and grain. The supplies arriving in Paris were diminishing. In the British House of Lords, June 6, the Mar- quis of Clanricarde gave notice that he would, on Friday, call their lordships’ attention to the state of the east of Europe. In the House of Commons, upon the same night, Mr. Layard gave notice that on Friday, June 10, he- would call the attention of the House to the mena- cing attitude assumed by Russia towards Turkey—a: country, the independence of which was guaranteed’ by treaty, and the integrity and stability of which, was necessary to the peace of Europe. The Times steamer exploded her boiler in the river Liffey, when steaming from Dublin to-Liverpool with emigrants, upon the 2d of this month, by which acoi~ dent several persons ,were killed, and many more scalded. At the Mark lane corn market, on the 6vb: inst., there was a very small show of Eng! wheat, and considerable competition among the millers to secure: the little on sale. A considerable proportion of re- cent arrivals of foreign wheat having gone to the millers direct, and the reports that the wheat crop looked poor, with a much shorter breadth than usu- ully sown, the yield being expected to be below the nverage, English wheat was freely cleared off at 23. per quarter advance, and foreign from 1s. to2s. No thing but the fear of greatly increased supplies from the Baltic, Mediterranean, France, and America, pre- vented a rapid rise in prices. Floating cargoes were held for materially enhanced rates. American floar was in good demand at 1s. to 6d. per barrel advance. Under the combined influence of a nivre easy money market, and the prospect of a settlement of all political differences between Russia and Turkey, without recourse to hostilities, the panic in the Lon- don stock exchange had completely passed off, and a reaction in the price of consols, railway and mining shares, and stocks, had set in, and the market ap- peared susceptible of further improvement. In the manufacturing districts trade had been ia- fluenced by foreign politics. At Manchester pur- chasers were indisposed to act, but the market wag extremely steady from the lowness of stocks and large orders on hand. At Birmingham the fron trade was dull, but pig iron was firmer. General trade was active. Nottingham had been unfavor- ably influenced by the Eastern dispute. In the woollen districts business was quiet. In the Irish linen market there was a good demand at advancing rates. Fears were entertained of a short supply of flax. In the Liverpool cotton market a fair business had been dono. Sales on the 6th, 6,000 bales; prices without change. Sales on the 7th, 5,000 bales.

Commodore Vanderbilt's Visit to Europe. [¥rom the London Express, June 4.) An American haat has just arrived in London om a pleasure trip. come by train from Southamp- ton, and leaves his private yacht behind him indeck at that port. Thia yaeht is a moneter steamer. Her saloon is dercribed as larger and more magnificent than that of any ocean steamer afloat, and is said to surpass in splen dor that of the Qneen’s yacht. The walls of the dining room are clethed with a new material, resembling po- lished marble and malachite. The building of the vossel alone cont £100,000. The expenses of keeoing it up are, £300 a week.
