The Executive chamber is besleges by those interested 2 forcing from the Governor a prociamation for an extra seesion, and vagh be remains epparently firm in his determization not to call tho Legislature together, the geneial impression is that he wiil be overruled. Tharlow Weed has lets the city for New York and Washington, but its believed that he desires an extra cession, ia order to secure the passage of an act consolidating the Hudsen River and Central raiircaca, The Gcverncr seems, on the surface, to be frm in his resolve not to calian extra session. It will be remem. bered that numerous important bills failed 10 be reached, ‘twas evident before the nession closed that this would be the case, and a number of members persoval’y applied to the Governor to call an extra svssion. He was afraid todo so, for fear the session might last all summer, 6 the constitution gives him no power to adjourn the houses. The effect of a long ex'ra session in the present financial condition of the State would be ruizons to Governor Clark's political prospects in the rural divtric Fr, where he m+y yet have afew friends, For this reason he cociined to cail the syecial session requested, wien some twenty five members joined together in a written egreement to use their utmost endeavors to bring the special ression to a cloce in twenty days. This was shown to the Governor by Mr. Glover, one of the mem- bers of the Assembly from the city of New Yors. It was simply intended a+ guarantee ot the good faith of the members, acd to be seen by Governor Ulark alone. Mr, Glover lef. the document wi h the Governor, wao said he was too busy to read it at the time, and then by a sort of coup d'état published it with bis answer, refusing to eail the extra session, im the Evening Journal. (since published in the HERALD.] The pubilostion of this doou- ment, which was of a private nature, has made quite @ nice litte lot of thunder for the Governor in the rural districts, and he apparently adheres to his deter- mination, but is ready to turn whichever way it may be necessary, It is believed by the quid nuncs here that the Governor will wait a li:tle, untti bis previous ac'ion, in refaning to call the extra session, haw become thoroughly familiar to all the people of the State. Of course, the Governor wil getagreat deal of praise, at first, for his tron firmness, But atill they «ay there will be an extra sestion. Seve- ral billa of interest to the people in all sections of the State have been overslaughed. Tue recent decision of the Court of Appeals having knocked the Prohibitory law on the head, trade in rum i perfestiy free, the old excise and license laws having been repeated when the new Inw was enacted. Anew temperance law 1s among the things that the Assembly did not reach, and there will be a strong outside pressure from the frieads of prohibiiion all over the State for an extra session to puch this bill through. Several bills of interes, to the people in the central and western partéof the Siate ace lost, and there ix @ strong icbby from the et:y of New York trying to rumh the Police bill. There is an im- mense amount of other billa—reara thousand—all cf which interest somebody or othor, and we sball soon find all the nigger worsh\pping papers in the State insisting upon an extra sessicn. Then, it is sald, the tron firm. ness of the executive will give way beforo the desire of the peopte, and we shall bave another session, The lest was devoted chiefly to passiug the Albany Bridge bill~ the next will be for a kindred scheme, the con solidation of the railroads before mentioned. There ia really not the slightest neceselty for an extra session, The Governor appears to have entirely forgotten politics in railroad speculations. Indeed, Mr. Upham’s pill, abolishing the office of Cansl Superia‘en- dents, which was the leading political measure of the seasion, and was calculated to entirely destroy the power of the Know Nothing administration, was sacrifised to the Albany bricge. Itis now ascertained as a “fixed fact” that Mr. Prescott, K.N., who took the manage. ment of ibe Bridge bili in the Assembly, did not move in the matter until Upham’s bill had been put into his pos- session, with the understanding that it was to remain safely in his pocket during the remainder of the session. It is supposed that Mr. Upbam assented to this bargain. How the nigger worshippers will relish this sacrifice of « great political measure, calculated to overthrow the Know Notbirg party, to the personal schemes of their leaders, remains to be acen. Farly in the eevsicn a resolution was adopted by the Assembly callicg upon Dr. Thompson, Health Officer, to report the amount of his tees and the number of vessels coming under his supervison. The report was sent in after considerabic delay, and would, in the ordinary courre of business, nave been printed, placed on the files of members, and called up at some time for consideration. But ke passed, and the docvment did not make its appearance in print. Towards the close of the ression Mr. Wiliam J. Shea, of Richmond, set on fsot an inquiry as to the fate of the report, and after much trouble ruccceded in tracing it to the posses. sion of the Committee on Commerce, or rather of the ebairman of (hat committee, Mr. Wakeman, rigger wor- shipper, in whose pocket the document remains, The unusual course taken in regard to the report appears to evince an anxiety to suppress its publication and to pre- veut action being taken on it in the House, We are a great set of fellows up here, and sot having doae harm enovgh in one hundred days, we are to be called tog: cher again, when we may sit till doomsday, if we like, Atnany, April 10, 1856.

The people wonder at the cause, and the partisan press construe it to their own best advantage. Politicians, officeho'ders and lobby dictators each have their own reason. But the true causes are these, and weare in duty bound to expose them, in orer that the people—the great outside so. ple—may be somewhat enlightened as to the mode and manner in which legislative business is controlled at the capital of the State. In the first place, there never has been such « formida- ble lobby, such reckless and unprincipied mon, such battering rams against tho vaults of the pais treasury, auch @ host of organized operators, organized host, as bave been daily pressing upon the Legislature since the very first day ot the session. And in the seoond place, there never was a Legislature so {{.ually divided, as partisans, whose members #0 cheaply yielded to the pressure of a villanous lobby. There ia an organized set of brokers who have followed no other busi. ness for years than standing between honest claimants and the legislators. They know every petidoner. Al matters of this character they scent out, demend 4 cer tain per centage, and in case of rofusal, openly threaten to defeat the petitioner. To such aa extent had this prectice ran that the members of the Legislature found the business se blecked up, even two weeks previous to the day of adjournment, that» general irapression pre vailed among them that much untivished business must be left or the seasion extended. Tho olaim bills dragged heavily in both houses in consequence of the determines realstance of a fewable leaders. The lobby, fintiog thw ression drawing to # close, with nine-tenths of their claim bills undecided, suggested the bold stroke of inducing both heuses to keep back severa! Important public measures. Among thom were the bills roorganizing tho Senate and Judiciss districts, tho bill apportioning mam- bere of the Legisiature—imperative measures under the constitution—ths appropriation bills for the support of government and the anpoly bill, making provision for various itema incidental to the session. These indispen rable bills were purpossly kept back. On Wodnosday morning some thirty memSers of the House, instigated by lobby tnfinence, addressed @ ecte to Governor Hick pledging them, eives that {he would call a special aes- piow they would acjourn at the end of fifteen or tirenty cays. His hxcevency thought the conetisution had allotted plenty of time to transact a] Isgitime 9 business, and if they had cegeoted to perform their duty the reeponribility would reat apon them, and not upon him. At this reply, the lobpy became i en was scully demenstraied. The & sion another day, halt day, aix nours, but the House per- emprorily refused. Nearly the en‘ire seesion of Wedna~ ay wns wasted in an effort to exiend the ma. in atead of thas ging, the four or five public bills might have bewm passed if turbulent members of the House had refrained from procusing the excitement which occurred, and continued ul) the moment of at- jourument. Thus thel bby, io interrupting the legit:- imate business of both houses, procured. the tumultuous acjuurnment of the Legislature, escrificiog not only their own interests out chose of the State. Now, what is to be core? A pressure is being made upen the Gcverror to caile epecisl session. Ba! he continnes to refuse, adbering to the stand taken yester- cay. It may be that be wi ¥ yet yield, and surreader to the lobby. Should no xpeciai session be couvened, what will be thesia o of thiog+? The fiscal year exoires on the 20th day of September, Up to that period, provision wes made ia the Avpropriation bill of Inst year fur the payment of all tbe ordinary expenses of government, ‘The salaries are paid quareriy, and the next paymect, inerefvre, wil be due cn the dato! January. Tae nex! Legislature then astembes, anican make immediae provision; Bo that :here is no abeowute newsuity for 40 extra session on that accoun’. The failure vo con‘ripute large ametnts to certein favorite ivetitutions msy be the mesne of incucl:g them to help themselves, iautesd o! relying aitegetber upon the State. Then there ts the iim ay 2 as itis termed. [his provi for the pa; ment Of mporary ewmployés of the goverument.

Now, t. is pain to see, that if the present L-giela- ‘ure fail to reorgenwe the Senate districts, no ocher Legislature has the power to do it uniil afer another evumersiion takes p ase, tem yeara hence. The coantitu- tin of 1846 organized the districts as they no# stand. very material chepge has taken place un the score of popalation in several of them since that period.

One thing is morally certain, and that is, should a ses sion be calier, there ia no telling when it would termi- pate. The character cf @ majority of the House is no ® ty that economy of ime or expense would control ‘Trere area few men who are aa honor to the station of members, but their num ers are too iaalgni! cant to withs‘an1 the recklessness of the majori y. ¢ néuct of this majority caring the session cemonstrates the fact that they are unfit for wise, honest and impar- tial legisiation. Searcely a session passed but soce one or other was flurried withintoxica:ion. Within a stoae’s throw, genteel rum hole {s es'ablished for the envenepce of the drmking members, During the inte-val between tae seesions, this Gram rho, wes the scene of many brual fights, not only vetween outsiders, but members themselves. Their faces have been blacwened, their clothes turu, their countensnces so distigured that shame p-evented their attendance in the House for several cays. S > fre- quently inebria'ed and riotous cid they become near the close Of the eersion, that the aid of the paiice vecame necessary to preserve the pease. Acd the day previons to ibe a@journment, one of the members was ar.ested upon @ charge of swearing ine vote at one of the eiwe- tion poile, when his residence was ® bundred und fitty miler ‘awav. Not only cid fighting soenes occur outside, but the chamber of the Aseembiy was also dixgrsced with the aame conduc’. Are such men fit and proper for honest, pure and im; legislation? Are tuey quall- fied to proveet and proverre the pubtic treasury from the spoilers: Or, are they not rather tne identica! men wa0 may be easily purchaser by the lobby to pass any bill to invade the treasury? Rather toan re: them, better trust to the people to elect better men next November, Governor Ciark will not be easliy persuaded to bring them back to the capitol. * Adjournment of the New York Legisiature, [From the Aloany Jounal, Aori: 10.] The Stute Legislature adjourned at 10 o’ciock last evertng, ant to a concurrent resoution adopred four weeks aince, Jeaving nearly ail the public business, much general tegislation, and most of the natf-matur-¢ lo- cal bile, at unfin'shed business. The Canal Apprepriation bills are the oniy measures of a public nature passed into laws. The Supply vill did not reach its tnird reading in vhe House. The Appr i, having been amend- ed in the Senate. was laid on the ‘abletn the Assembly, where the Apporti:mment bill, passed by the Senate, siso Me, Searcely more tran two nundred laws were exa sted. Last year’s statute book contains over five hundred en- actments. In ro former year in our history hay the Legislature failed to discharge its more ipporiant functions. Hi.b- erto the pu rite ousiress has a etther weil or {:1 done. {he State government has, for the firs: time, come toa stard ett. ‘The responsibility for this condition of resis with and upon the House of Assempty, the Senate naving, ‘uring the whole ses:ion, kep: its calendar, whether the burinees originated there cr in the Awsembly, cte er. The House was uniortuvavely coustituied. With three political parties nearly equal in strength, three weess ‘were cccup'éd in its organ'za'ion. Another week was vat by a recess. All this time, however, would have been made up if tre cause whith delayed the organization had not delayed ard embarravsed business. Teo House cid not lack ability or industry ; but it never got into working orcer. ‘The Speaker, with a cou: tesy almost without preeetent, gave a msjority of the Commf.iee of Ways and Menvs to we Know No hing aiministra ion. There was no dispo- sion to embarrass that acminissration; and yet its mea- sures are overboard. For the last three weeks an impression prevailed that an extra seesion was unavoidabie; and thongh the Go- vernor frankly and courteously avowed his purpyse not, unless an imperative neecsrity siould exist, to call one, members sci ed upon their impreaziona to the end. That enc finds usin almost # revo ationery state. Prior ap- propriations, it is true, carry on the government until the first of uetober, after whish dy we stop payment ‘and run along til January on credit. ‘The true, practical explanation of all thie evil is found in the fact that no body was responsible for the action of the Assemby. If the republican or democratis partion had been in'a mojority, the House, like the Senate, ave finished its business. e graiified to say, whac all have seen, that th republican members of both houses have acted with a Just and enhghtevea sense of their respocsibllities, and wn & proper regard for the iaterests of the stave aud the well cf its eftizens. If the Legislature has failed ‘vo do its duty. the fault is not with the Executive Do- partment, the Senate, or the :epublican members of tae Assembly. ‘The two houces adjourned without the usnal interchange or mersages between the Executive and themasives; aor was the usual’ committee to examice the treasury, pdht department, &c , appolaed by tre Assembly. Ot the bil’s that have become Iaws the only ones of very great importance that now occur to us aro the two Canal Appropriation buls, two bil's emeadiog the sta- tutes relating to public instructimand the support ot schools, the Albany Bri ‘ge bill, and the Naw York City fax bill. Doubtless many other bills of considerable ‘m- portance have become ‘awa, but it is still true that most of them are local and ur important enactmer's. Of the important oilla that hyve failed to pass we ma: netice the tollowing:—Toe Gexeral Appropriation bill; the Supply bill; the A‘sembly Apportionment, Senate Districc, and Judivial Ms rict bills; the Cansei Superin- tendent citi; the Cemperance and License bilia; the State Lunatio Asylum bil; the Stockbridge Indian bill; the Charles Watson Cont: act bill (for Sing aa, convict Ia- ror); the Raiiroaé Commissioner Repeal bil!; the New York City Charter and Police bills; the istry bill; the State Arsenal bili; the New York vill, and City Hall bill; the Schoyler Ccurty bili—and Kent county, and all other new ccunty projects. These are but part. Many, donbtless, of the first importance, have escaped cur memory at tbis moment. It is enough to say, that of over eleven hundred bulls only about two handred have become laws. The work of this Legislature pecu- iiar to the year following the State census, has none of it been dene, and the State remains undistricted, both as to the Senate and Assembly. {From the Albany Angus, April 11.) The adjournment «f the Legisla ure Wednesday nigat was a scene. Both houres had, some cays previous, egreed to adjourn at 10 P.M. As the pressure of puste ess reemed 10 require it, the Seante proposed to prolong the session tili Friday—for tweniy-four bours—even for eix hours. The House not oy refused, but consumed the ume by wasteful debate on the subject. The Appro- priation bill pexsing icto the hands of the Assembly, they refused to relinquish it, though the Senate asked tor it, for the purpose, ic is said, of receding from their amenéments, In thet event, the bill would have gone to the Governor, ond become a lew. But the House wae determined to defeat the bili, and to force the necessi:y for an extra revsion. The Supply dill shared the same fa‘e, Among the other bil.s lost were the Assempiy Apportioument, Senate District, and Judinal District oilis, the Canal Superintencent bill, the Temperance and Licence bill, the State Lunatic Asyium Dill, the Stockbridge Indian bill, the Charles Watson Contract bill (tor Sing Sing convict labor;) the Raitroad Commissioner repeal bill; the New York City Charter and Police bills; the State Arsenal bill; the New York Park DM, and City Hall bil; the Schuyler courty bill, ard Kent ceunty, and all other new couaty pr jeots. ‘The Brosdway bill was killed before the close of the xes- sion as were some other projects; though the-e will un- doubtedly be revived if there ia an extra session; end iv was the hope of this event tha: animated ali those tn- tercated in de'onted xchemes, to bring about the crisis and its suprosed necessity. In the Seuste, when the hour arrived for adjournment, Mr. Barr was rpeaking in bebalf of his claim to a reat, His eloquence was cut off midway by the advent of the hour, So that plot has failed. ‘There were scme 90 bills on the calendar of the As- sermb}y, of which 400 kad passed to their third reading.

The main questions of government were in their own ban¢s, Who in responsible for the untimely end of the Legiala- ture?

Tre Emperor of the &rench in New York, New York, April 4, 1856. 10 THE EDITORS OF THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. Geotzwrx—My attention has been called to an article in your journal of the 28 h uit., in which my nae is in- troc uerd in connection with the sojourn, in this city, in 1827, of the prosent Emperor of the French, and state- men's ard opipicns of mine in regard to the character tustaived tere placed inantegoifem toa prevailiog im! pieesion on the subject.

Bo came immediately to New York, ua the point at which be could be put mort speedily in commanicattvn with his friends in Kurope. icoer on ihe day orthe day but ene afer bis arrival 1 was led to call ap-n hin, not 48 the bearer of an illnstzions name or the Inheritor of ‘ap imperial title, but as a st anger and an exile without & personal friend in the c untry or a letter of intro- duction. I was the more reaéily induced to this (rom representations made tome by a near relative. in whose ‘emily he bad already passed wn evening, of the ceep in terest his appersnce and vb le manner had excited in tho-e who thea met him. The call was reciprocated with ® promptners and corcislity I had not anticizated, and in @ very brief period led to an intercourse woich was most Gaily tor some two months, ani which ended only when we par ed from euch otner off Sandy Hwok, on board the packet which re:urned him to Europe. ‘The association was not that of hours ony, but of deys. and on one ocession at lerst of days in succession, and was characterized by @ fieedom of conversation on @ great variety of topics that could scarce fall, under the ipgenuouscess and frankness of his manner, to put me in pessersicn of his views, pricciples, and fee.iegy upon moat pr ints that give insight to charscier.

Bis favors e topics, when we were alone, were his un- cle, the Emperor, Lbs mother, avd others of his iin medi ate family in whem he had ‘been deeply interested; his own reiaulcns to France by birth and imperial registry; the inoucements which to the attempted revomion at Streaburgh the cases of its taliure, and his chief sup- port under the mortification of the resu t—‘-The will of God ,’’ to ure bis own words, ‘‘torough a direct interpost- tion of bis Previcence; the time bad not yet come.’” Be seemed ever to fee: that his persona! destioy was indissoluply linked with France; or, as bis motuer Sortense. exoreesed it ia her will, “to koow his pecition |? and tne entousiasm wita which at times ne gave uttersnce to bis ngpira‘ions for the prosperity, the happinees, ard the honor of bis csuntry, and to tue high purposes wich he designed to accomplish for her asa iuler, amounted, in words, voice aud manner, to ponitive tloquence.

It had neon is purpose to spend a year in making the touc of the Unired btatec, that he might have a beter knowle*g+ of our mstitutious, and observe tor himse!f the prasusal workings ot our political system. With this expeccauon he ccnsulted me and ctbers as to the arrangement of tan route of travel, so a8 to visit the differeat #sc'ions of th’ Union at the mcet desirable seasons. But his plans were eucdenly changed by intelligence of the serious iliness of Queer Hortense, or, as then styled, the Duchors of St. Yeu, at ber castle in Switzerland.
