J, McAlpine, State Emrineer and or, whether he has been in the employ of railroad compa: nies, and into the conduct of Frederick Follett with refer. ence to the lettings. Mr. W. Taytor, (whig,) of N. ¥., moved te refer to the Judiciary Committee, for them to report as to the legali- ty [laa & public officer whose term of office has 6x) 5 fir. D. B. Tavtor, (dem.) of N. Y., suggested that it would be well to authorize the same committee to inquire whether there was honesty enough in the State to carry out the government, and whether it would not be well to return to the supervision of the general government, Mr. Kexepy, (whig,) of Cayuga, moved to amend by inserting every ‘individual who had belonged to the Canal card. Mr. Hapiey, (dem.) of Seneca, thought that a oom- mittee had already been appointed to make these inqui- pcs and it would be sufficient to refer to that commit- Mr. Mauzurn, (dem) of Albany, moved to further amend to authorize the committee to | if possible, the probable candidates of the two parties for the next term, and whether they cannot be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, Mr. W.

Exy, (dem.) of Broome, presented ® resolu: tion relative to the conduct of John C. Wright, specify- ing charges against him as Comptroller and member of the Canal Board, and that a select committee be appoint- ed to report relative to his official conduct. Mr. INEDY moved to refer to the Select Committee already appointed to investigate charges against hin. - ae ing “dan ot Ning ir. Horsxy, (dem.) o} ra, was surprised at the revolution. He thought oe rt of the Comptroller sbowed him, in all respects, an honest man. Mr. Extsworti favored sending to the same committee. eek it might be well to send to the Art Union com- mittee Mr. Lirrrxsoux, (whig) of Oswego, had before anid that too meny references were overburdening the committee. tite committee should be appointed for each in- vidual. Mr. Loman, (whig) of Livingston, moved the previeus question. ne ate ae The question was then taken upon the resolution of Mr. Hly, to refer the charges against J. C. Wright to a select committes to report at an early day. Carried by ayes 44; nays, 39, Mr, BurrovGus, (ind. dem.) of Orleans, moved to re- con sider; then withdrew, and _Mr, Lawreck, (dem.}, of Franklin, renewed the me- tien. Mr. Hapury favored the motion. So far asthe refer- exce to the committee was concerned, he had no objeo- tion; but the preamble specifically charged upoa Mr. J. C. Wright, such and such things, founded in rumor, and to this he could not subscribe. These were too direct charges without any proof. He hoped the good sense of the House would reconsider. Mr. Henpre, (whig), Livingston, heard only the last portion of the resolution, and voted for it, thinking it similar to the others, only am inquiry, He urged a re- consideration for the reasons stated. He could not justi- fy charges without sufficient proof. Mr. Nosix, (dem.), of New York, thought there had been a misapprehension. To adopt ted anpse iad and re- solution as they now stood would be undue actions on the part of legislators. Mr. Lirmmsomn did not intend by his vote, by any means, to endorse the charges. In all these cases he had no personal feeling. Perfect fairness should characterize all our action upon these questions. He only desired a reference to expedite business. A division of question might be well. He should atill vote to refer to weperate committee, that an sant eect might be secured. wo motion to reconsider was earried by ayes, 55; nays, Mr. Loomis then moved to refer the resolution to the select committee already appointed. He thought a just inference from all these motions was not that an honest attempt was made to correct abuses, but that there was Oe bur felt called to .

I left New York on Monday morning, the 20th inst., at six o’clock, for Utica, intending to divide our trip hither into two parts—remembering the fatigue of the old régime on the Western reads; but, on reaching Albany, we found the “Lightoing Express” was ruo- ning or the straight road from Rochester to Syracuse, 80'we dined deliciously at Bagg’s Hotel, at Utica, at twelve o’clock, (one of the cleanest, coolest, and best regulated houses in the State, under the care of our old friend Churchill,) and feeling “up to time,” de- termined to push on. At precisely thirty minutes past seven in the even- ing we entered the Buffulo station, making 134 heurs from New York, a distance of nearly 500 miles. Of this time we lost about three hours in stopping for meals and changing engines, so that our average speed was but little, if any less, than fifty miles an hour bet toe The day was hot, but the excite- ment of high , With the comfort of easy cars and good » rendered it anythi but tedious. ie new combination certainly deserve great credit for the arrangements, and their selection of conductors, engineers and agents. Brorstsng along the road was so managed as to correspond with each other, and avoid unne detention. At Buffalo we stopped at the American with our old friend Hodges—a most worthy, esti- mable man. He reminds me a good deal of Coz- zens, of West Point. The next day we went to the Falls, and very sen- sibly and fortunately to the Canada side, where we have charming front rooms at the Clifton, most ad- mirably managed by that little pair of Shears (George and his brother). Here ever is quiet and clean. The rooms are like boudoirs. The fur- niture is all what is termed “ cottage farniture,” the walls thoroughly painted, and the carpets as clean as silk; the table delicious in every respect, and well served. The waiters are all black, and a more civil, re- spectful, and obliging set of servants I never saw. ‘here is no racing, tearing, sweating, or tumbling over each others heels. Everything is done quietly and in order. Not a bell or gong is heard in the house. You get up when you please, or are called, by a quiet rap at the door, if you prefer it. Breakfast, dinner, and tea, are announced by a waiter quietly, at your door, and on the piazzas, and in the grounds, Not @ word is heard between master and servant throughout the establishment. On the American side, the porter of the house takes your lu; gage checks, and it is delivered at your room at the Clifton a few moments after you enter it, both crossing the ferry below the Falls. Ihave travelled throughout this country and Europe, and I affirm that Shears’ Clifton House is one of the best hotels on this continent, and I never saw one in Europe that I preferred to it. George Shears is married, and has a pair of little scissors. May they be as true as the old steel ! The Falls, the Falls! who can describe them? The view from this side, everbody knows, is the only view. Those who stop on the American side must eome over here to see. We have a delicious breeze; the roar of the cataract cools the heated air and re- news its healthful vigor. We have rainbows by day and lunar bows by night, from Table Rock, or rather from what is left of it. We enjoyed a lunar bow from eleven to twelve o'clock last night, when I was obliged to wear my heavy ene it was so es ee arias eee A large gang of men are busy laying the hu; blocks of stone for the new suspension pede te lace of the frail thing now yielding to every breeze. liver Buchanan, Esq., son of the late honored British Consul of your city, is the engineer. The bridge is to be a double-decker, the upper story for the railway, and underneath for carriages. The work is progressing rapidly, and will be a noble specimen when completed. A telegraph wire communicates from the office of this house with every part of the United States and Canada. Shears has clipped off space in every pos- sible manner to keep his guests near at home w! under his most agreeable roof. But L must have done. Everything is full all about here; still there is lots of room. The Cataract, Inter- national, &c., on the other side, are admirable houses, and there is more Indian work for sale than was ever seen by aboriginal man or woman; still it is bought up by those who like the fanciful, without asking any questions. So BE iv. Our West Point Correspondence. West Pornt, June 24, 1853. The Hotels at West Point—Conveyances from New Yo The Plebss—A Member of the Board of Visiters in a Fiz— Fanny Elssler, de. ‘There are two hotels at West Point, one of which, ax Pat would cay, is about two miles this side. That re- minds me of an advertisement which was once posted in the hotel in a country village where I passed a summer, (May the flowers bloom in its quiet church yard!) Anold farmer had lost some of his live stock, and applied to the village lawyer to write a notice announcing his misfor- tune, The advertisement ran in this wise:—“ Lost, twe sheep with hobbles on, one of which is a lamb.”” But to return to Cozzens’s Hotel—as who would sot, after having once been there? This establishment was commenced in 1849, by Mr. William B, Cozzens, who kept the American Hotel in New York for ten years, and was an Alderman of the city at @ time when it was considered no disgrace to fill that office. He bought some six hun- dred ncres of mountain land here for the small sum of fifteen hundred dollars; but he soon found that though the first cost was trifling, the fifteen hundred dollars laid at the bottom of his purse, and it was no sooner taken out than more began to follow it. He built a pier out inte the river, to make a convenient landing for the steam- boats, and then dug into the side hill, and blast- ed out the rocks, and made smooth, hard, gra- velled road up to the site of the house. He built « large mansion, three stories above the basement, the whole of the main part of it surrounded by a wide, pleasant piazza; he graded the grounds and set out shade and fruit trees, and shrubbery; he built a beautiful little cottage, which to-day stands literally embedded in roses, for his own occupancy; and he found that from the small commencement of fifteen hundred dollars his investment haé swollen to seventy or eighty thousard. The old gentleman has kept the house until this year, when he resigned it to his two sons, John B. and Sylvanus T. The physiological law which has passed into a proverb, that ‘Those who marry cousins may expect fools for children,” does not seem to apply to this case, for the stock shows no signs of deterioration. ‘My son John’ has ‘been to the wars,’ and it is hinted that when hewa flourishing in Moxico, several black-eyed signoritas thought they should as “lief marry Cozzens as not,” The young gentlemen have commenced in a way to establish a first rate reputation as landlords. Their table is sup plied with the “best that the market affords,” and the choicest wines may be had in “ bacchanal profusion” by those who eschow the Maine Iaw and cold water. The gas works for the house, with the fixtures for burning, cost nearly two thousand dollars, The gas is made from oil, at an expense of about four dollars a day, These works are very complete in every respect. While looking about the premises, and observing the ice house, the ice pond, the handsome stone walls, &c., a few days ago, a fact in natural history which was new to me, and may be interesting to some of your readers, was mentioned by Mr. John Cozzens. He said that all the walls were filled with the little striped or chirping aquirrels, but that they had never been in the least a noyed by rats. He had been at a loss to account for the absence of these ugly and disagreeable eustomors, until, a day or two previous, he saw one of the little squirrels pursuing a large rat, and driving him off. At the south of the hotel is a pleasant open grove, reaching to the brow of the hill which overlooks the beau- tiful babbling brook which dashes down the mountain, and rejoices in the elegant title of “Buttermilk Falls.” Its clear waters serve not only to feast the eye, but the stomach, also being converted, as they fall, to the useful purpose of turning wheat into flour. ‘The West Point Hotel, strictly so called, is situated near the Military Academy, about two miles north of Cozzens's, There is a pier pear it, at which steamboats formerly stopped; but owing to the difficulty of making the landing there, they now touch only at Cozzens’s.
