The great falling off of the revenues of the canals during the last three years, (9 mainly attributable to Allowing the railroads to transport freight of all kinds free of paying the State tribute. The tolls were taken off the roads in 1861, when the party then, as now im power, desired the influence of the railroad directors and stook- holders to secure the election of senators, in order that the nine million bill might be passed, Though the bill to re- impose tolls will be introduced by « woolly whig of the House, of considerable influence, and though it may be supported by the few silver grays, and all the democrats of every section, still the influence against it which the Central and Erie roads can bring into the lobby, will prevent the parsage of any such bill, The Present Comptroller, Auditor, and, we think, Secre- tary of State, wei all in tho Legislature, and voted to discontinie railroad tolls; they are not yet Prepared to wheel about and allow them to be so soon re" stored. When the interest of the constituents of mem- bers residing in the routhern tier of counties, along the Erie road, and those iu the centre of the State, enjoying the conveniences of the central route between’ the Hud- son and the lakes, » ith those also in the northern region of the State, accommodated with the Ogdensburg road, are taken into consideration, it will be found a resistance se strong wil! be made that the members from other por- tions of the State will present ® feeble force in favor of umposing these tolls. ‘Toa new State officers, together with a few active whigs of the Legislature, are pursuing investigations with a view to sorutinize the conduct of their predecessors. They are reruticining matters witha keen eye, and should anything of importance be cisecvered which will justify an exami nation, ® resolntion will be adopted in the House in-titut- ing ® committes of inquiry, with power to send for per- sons and papers. But before this is done, Chatfield will be in Texas, Wright in Havana, Newell in » snug berth in Washiogton, anc Randall in Montreal, searching for ma- terials to be inserted in his life of Jefferson The committee appointed by the last Legislature to ex- amine the accounts and transactions of the financial de partmerts of the State have been engaged two or three Months; still, their Inbors are incomplete. There is a fa vorable prospect that they will, by diligent application to an examination, bs able to present to this Legislature the result of their labora previous to the adjournment in April, A lawshould be adoptad limiting the time con. sumed by these annual committees, and they ehould be to make their report at the commenvement of ion of the Legislature. tone choice made by the majority of the whig Senators for their Clerk, created quite an excityment at first, and ts not yet allayed, The silver grays and barnburners are those who feel mightily offeaded, Tho New York Express, whose editor is in the Senate, and the Albany Register, are particularly irritated at the result, and both shower all manner of abnse upon the majority of the Senate for making the selection, Mr. Hastings, it may traly be said, isa progressive young man. Our first knowledge of him was as @ city reporter for one of the Albany daily Papers. He established the first penny psper in this ci!y, and the first ore in the State, out of the city of New York, the ciroulaticn of waich’ soon outnumbered either of the others in the city, By perseverance he has ma: r somewhat lucrative. Be was appointed by one of the Custom House officers here, and when Mr. Fillmore assumed the Presidentia! robes, Hastings was removed from office, as were two thirds of the whigs in the State who had been appoirted by the old General, ‘ally induced him to speak through the oolumus Faper, in frequent tones of disrespect of the silver y#, and called down upon his head their bitterest exe erations. Upon bsing restored to power in this State, the friends of Hastiogs brevght him forward asa candidate for office, with a determination to elect him, ass rebake to Mr. Fillmore for removing bim, ¥ Ithout appar cause, from the customs, and of showing the weakm a and impotency of the silver grays in and out of the Logis lature. This, in my opinion, had the controlling elect of wore g him in the responsible position whi sh he oseupies. ith a little experience, there is no doust but Mr. Hast- will become a capable and efficient Clerk, and facili the business of the cenate equal to any of his prede- cearors, or either of his late competitors, had one been chosen in his stead.

Aunany, Jan, 10, 1854, It was a prudent measure of the lobby that the an- nouncement of the committeta of both houses of the Legislatuye should be made at the same moment, A whole week has been consumed in arranging them, The whigs of the Senate had daily come up, which finally re- sulted in an argument last night. Mr. Speaker Pruyn, of the House, was ready to report his committee on Friday last, but was induced to await the action of the whig Senators, in order thatas much harmonious action as possible might be produced. As they stand they seem to give very good satisfaction thus far, the silver grays of both heuses being placed in moze prominent positions than they anticipated. In the Senate Mr. Field, Chair- man of the Canal Committee; Mr. Williams, on Finance; Mr, Dickinson, on Railrowép; Mr, W. Olark, on the Judi- ciary; and Mr. Brooks, on Commerce, are probably the best selections which could be made, though there is some disappointment that Mr. Bishop was not placed at the head of the Judiciary. 1: is doubted whether there is as much ability in the present Senate out of which to construct such ® committee as the last, composed of Messrs. Babcock, Taber and Vanderbilt. In the House dr. Seesions, of Chautauqus, is Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Meaps, the most important; Mr. Jermain, on Commerce; Mr. Littlejohn, on Canale; Mr. Peters, on Railroads; Mr. Benedict, on Banks; and Mr. Burnet, on the Judiciary, are exoellent selections as chairmen of thore respestive committees. And now that these ar- rapgements are perfected, @ is w probability that the business of legitimate legislation will commence. The report of the Inspector of the State prisons was re- ceived this morning, and will be putin type with des. patch. It is quite voluminous, and the great portion of the report proper is from Mr. Angel, the retired inspector. Ite contents contain nothing new, with the exception of the action of the Inspector in having succeeded in hiring cut the prisoners in the Clinton prisom, at twenty-five cents per day, and the leasing of the iron works of the State to a company of individuals, who are proceeding to manviacture iron, which it has been imposible for the State to do, though many years of expsrience have been enjoyed, and vast sums espana in the experiment. This shows that no public body can compete with private epterprire. The ovly matter of the least interest iu either house, to-cay, was a debate which sprung upon the motion of Se- nator Brooks to consider the resolut on of the House asking Congrees to purchase Mount Vernon. It was adopted ia the House on the second day of the sescion, after a writ- ten speech from Mr. Savage, a silver gray, without a dis renting voice. That speech was specially sent to the New York Express, and published, the original having been rent to the Avgister, of this city. Mr. Books addressed the Sepate in awhor! speech in favor, and when he sat down, Senator Dickiason rose, and sald he felt ae hign regard for the memory of Washington as any other maa; Hf he was not prepared to encourage Congress to pay three hundred thousand dollars for a tract of land not worth more than thirty dollars an acre, which he be- lieved was asked for by a combination of speculators. This aroused the patriot.c ire of Messrs. Crosby, Patnam and Brooks, and each in his turn felt quite indignant that any opposition to the | Seeee of Mount Vernon should be found in the Senate. The subject gave those gentlemen a fine opportunity to display their feelings of patriotiem, and Mesers. Putnam and Brooks, silver grays, avatiod themselves of the opportunity. It was theme u| which they could elaborate to almost any extent. ill Senator Dickinsen was not disheartened, but continued bis opposition to the resolution in his usual elear and ar- gumentative style tabio for a day or two, but he was supported by only five Senators. Mr. Monrce then pflrred an ameaciment, pro- viding that in case the general governmert shouli make the purchase, there should be no slaves employed upon the prea izes’ im the cullivation of the soil, nor in any other cayacity. This drew Mr. Brooks to his feet inan instant, Here was the Wilmot proviso revemped— here was the compromise of 1858 re-opensd, and the whele slayery question pnexpectedly broaght before the Senate, After a few words from Me. B., tending to show that go- yerument hed no right to slave property and could not hold say, which he was convinced the mover of the amerdmest was well aware of, a motion was made to lay both the resolution and mendment on the tal which was carried by a vote of 19 toll. Thirteen Sous: tors who bad previously voted against laying on the table, pow, since the antitlavery clause waa introdaced, voted in favor of a farther consideration, There ia no coubt that when the question agaia comes up Messrs. Dickinron, Monroe, W. Clark, and other anti slavery Se- vatcrs will be heardon the subject. Senator Monroe is proved the pioneer in the present Legislature, on anti sla very, a6 he is of anti-rum. A Mr, Isaac Brower, of South Brooklyn, is here in favor of amending the laws relating to escheats, so that per- sons givirg infermation to the State may be more libe- rally rewarced than at present. A bill to this effect was noticed this morning by Mr. Morris, a member from Kings, (national democrat,) which provides that the State shail grant twenty-five per cent to all perscns #ho shall give information by which t! tate becomes possessed of property through escheat. Mr, Brower declares in his petition that he knows of » very large quantity of real estate, lying in the most improved part of the west side of the sity of New York, whieb is in » condition that title most revert to the Srate, in case the proper steps are taken. The mover appears perfectly sure of success, and only wants twenty-five per cent of the value of property thas reclaimed, and a law enacted to that effect, when he will proaeed forthwith tointcrm the Attorney Gieetarl og the whereabouta of this immense amount of proj Holders of real estate on the west side of New Yor fae not be too prompt in examining their title deeds for the lant fifty years, The funeral of Col. John Oaborn was attended to-day by the largest military display ever seen in this city on any like occasion, Though the day was piercing cold, thé men under arins underwent the fetigue without the least Cesize at faltering, and accompsnted the remains of | their late respected brother soldier to his last resting place with a readiness highly creditable to them.

Mr. Dicxivson claimed as much reverence for the name ‘and fame of Washington as any member of the Senate, but im the (repel eae were dealing with othe: people’s money. He did not feel himself at liberty to vote for the expenditure of five times as much as pro- perty,was worth, merely because Washington’s name was connected witn it.
