Broadway Raiircad, charter and police bills, wilt meet ‘whb determined oppositicn both in tbe lebby end ta the Boure. One of the first questions which the Sena'e wil! coxsider fe the claim of Thomas J Barr, comteading for tne seat oooupied by Daniel K. Siobles, Whe he momeot arrived on the ®b of April lest for the adjournment of the Legisiasare, Mr. Barr bad possession of the floor, en- geged tn an argumost endeavoring to convince ihe Sena © Of bis undoubted right to the seat The hammer of the Promdemt ailing at tbe advent of the hour of tea, a joura- ing the Senate, out off farther discussion. The presexce Of Senator Halsted will be pecesrary to eject Mr. Sickles, There were some nine hundred bills om the calead r of the House, of which over four hund-ed had passed to a teird reacirg. Ouly cue balf of the latter number were pasted into laws—to the good fortune of the psople for the time being. Two thirde of the above large number ware matters of mere'y private characier, genera!ly em ras ing claims upon jhe State Treasury for caas! damages, The shrewd, cunning loobyttes, claim brokers wil mate their re-eppearance early, and prosecute these and other matters with energy and earnestness, without trusting to the latier part of the regui/ar session, or the calling of an extra one, to be again disappointed as they wore in Avril last The Rochester lobby sre not content with the award made by the capa! appraisers. Their claim in the agere gete—being fifty-two olsiman's for injury by the civersdon of the Geretee river waters into the canal-—was over a qvarter of a million of do lars, but the appraisers, afer ‘eb impartial and leogtby inveeiiga ion of the entire case, warded them only twenty tive thousand five bupcred and twenty dollars. Arre is @ discount of over two hundred and twenty four thousend dollars from their claim. The appraisers reported their decision to the Canal Board, which body has re- viewed the awa ds, and will report the proceedings of its own board, over those of the app sisers, to the Logisla- ture for final action. Out of filty two claimants, only six. teen sre awarded anything. The consequence is that the rejeciea ones will endeavor to prevall upon the Legis lature to disapprove ths award mase by the appraisers, and endorsed by the Cana! Boerd, in order that « more favorable adjudgment may be made by some subsequent action. It ts now fully copceded in every quarter that the nine millions borrowed, by ripping open the bowels of the Constitution, for the completion of the canal works, is on tirely inadequate. Months ago the avthorities were com- pelled to discharge several engineers, and ethers em ployed on the work, on account of a deficiency of fands to pay their monthly salaries. Over and over again the people were told, when they were voting to unbutten the Constitution, tbat nine millions was amply sufficient, as engineer after engineer bad made the most careful exam! mations, and safely based their estimates thereon, The People had confidence in those operations, and let out the nive millions. Eigbt millions are expended im some manner or other, and the Canal Board have just issued the credit of the ‘State for the last million. This may carry the contractors sbrough the winter, but when this sum is expended, there must be a stoppage of the work, om account of a deficteney of funds, and the State wili be compelled to pay br avy forfeitures op scoount of a suspension of the work, as it bas been compelled to do ov two or three previou Occasions. It now appears that five millions more ‘wanting to finish up the work, and where tt is to co from ro one cap te|l. The people ti! not consent to ope. the copetitotion again. The coutrol of the nine millions during the first two years was io the hance of Cook, Spaulding and Fiizbogh, whig State officers, and during the last year in the bands of the Know Nothing State officers; and before anothcr six months expires the fuads will beentirely exhausted, iraving the canels unfinished with oply “scratched bottoms and tickled sides,” as General Burroughs would ray [t bas been a great mor tifca'ion to the democratic »potla hunters that the not been permitted to shar. in this punder of the nine millions. Noftauit of thetre however, for if ever any creatures labored hard to obtaim power in the Siate they bave Cone a0 during the iast two years. Toe invoming Legislature will rather embarrass the present Caoal Board than pass apy aot which may be calsulated to re Meve the necessities of the canal fund for the ensuing year. There is no expecta'ion that the next I .sgislature wii take a single step, or adopt any measure, relasive to the unfinished canals. They are a source of too mush polid eal advantage to be legisiated upon honestly aad impar ally Ever since the rystem of enlargement commencet twenty one years ogo, the canals have been used as mere instruments in the bands of mer enary demagog ies Toey w bave no real eubetantial friends There is no inten thon even to complete their enlargement. This is por fectly well understood by the ieading dignitaries of every party. The railroac interests control every |. gislatore. Everything is done to foster them, to te detriment of 1! canals. Look at the weneportation of « single article of produce during the present year. The Ceotral road bas carried from Bufla'o to the Hadeum river five hundred thousand berreis of foar more than the Erie Csaal, Aud while the canal tolls are annually decreasing the rai road freight are enormously augmeaiog. Ia view of the great expenditure of money upon tre canals, and the prospect abead that they wili long remain unfinished, and that their revenues are annually de creasing, notwithstanding the amazing increase of Wapeportation between the seaboard aad the Great West, and in comerqnence, also, of the astonishing iporease ef freight on the Cent ad Erie roais, a State officer, ihe Eoginoer and Surveyor, two years sins thus is oMelal opinion to toe Legisiature aod the poo in my judgment there is 08 traly efor remedy, which i, the sale of the public works in w: in part ’’ Public opinion is fast ripening on this 1 The prove begin to reflect upon the priest ansur- <1y Of Opening the constitution permitting polttios!

The great masse of the people expected, ia ther borerty, to see the canala fluleted with the vine millions im three years, as was promised, in 1864 A propor! ion may be mitted tothe Legislature to sur it the qoration to the people, whether they wilt orpeen| 10 unlock the doors of the coastitetion, so tha: the cenals may de roid The receipts for freight on ths Central rod during Part year amount to $4598 04 96; thore on the Brie $4,048 751, making together the enormous san of $4,878 822 2.

This assemblage denounced the Court of Appeals im the broadest terms, for having dissolved the Maine law—determined to press another probibitory law on the Legvlature, claiming the Senate sure and the House un der obiigations to adopt one. They flattered themselves with this ides, and carried it with them on separation. But (be dilapidated condition of the ultra temporance or ganization, and the dispirit of its leading and most wealthy men. is Dearly a certain indination of their utter hopeless pess of ever procuring the passage of another probibitory Maive by a New York Legislature, Had they eub- mitted to @ reasonab.e, cons'stent and popular enactment im the first instance, many of the deleterious effects pro duced from the excessive indulgence of intoxicating liquors, would, by this time, have been eradicated, and the petty rum shops on every band effectually closed.

By a comparison of the deaths whi2h occurred tn the Inst twelve months with the mortality of 1856, is will be seen sbat there is a decrease of 1,779 in favor of 1666, The moet fatal diteases were consump- tion, convulsions, dropry, fever, tpflamma‘ion, marasmus apd cholera infantum. The number of deatus by yellow fever, or apy of the various forms of fever, is not given by the City Inepeotor, probably from motives of pru- denoe, but there iecertainly no reason why the amount of the mortelity from that cause should not be made spown iow, That there were meny cans of that fatal diverse tp New York curing the summer months of 1856 thers ts no doubt. The report of the City Inspector for 1866 represents the number of deaths from fever of ail kinds durirg that year at 763, while the deaths from fever in 1866 numbered 2,026. As the mortality from the different desoription s of fever seldom exceeds 1,000 in aby year, it te fair to presume that 0 1,000 persoos died of yellow fever in New York during the prevalence Of that disease last summer. Judging from the tables which we publish to-day, tho general bealth of New York is constantly improving, whether we regard the number of deaths ‘rom old age, or the diminution in the aggregate mortality compared ‘with former years. For this we are indebted to the introduction of the Cro- top water and our system of sewerage, but there is much to be done in the removal of nuisances and towards the general cleanliness of the city before it shall be as healthy a5 it ahould bo from its location. Tne Ci'y Inspector’s Report speaking of the various causes of mortality, says:— It is true that « large number of deaths are attributed to causes bearing names rendering the direct cause some- what questiorable, but even those of unscientific charac ter, as atrophy, debility. or ™m:rasmus, show s constant relation every year, proving something detinite is meant, and enabling us to olassify them for most scientific pur. poses. The winter months, January, February, March, tem, cise apd juces to make in lds. pelo’ ‘mber of deaths in 1847 was 15,783, of ‘whom 8 630 were children (little more than one haif,) and 7,168 adultes, making ‘he excess of children over adult ly 1,472; while in 1855 the whole num- ber of di ipg 23.042, the deaths of children ware 16,753, ogains inet 7,289 adults; the excess of children 01 Dodoeaalyir ge 8,464. It is interesting to inquire as to the causes of this great increase of the pro) Lage vn ing and population every year, demonstrate an it. in the general healthfviness among the adult population. Dorieg the year 1856 the deaths of 8,397 boys and 7,366 iris were reported ; excess of boyr 1, 041, or about one- seventh, or fourteen sada ‘one quarter per cent. The cor. ponding Hy yd the last nine years were:—Boys, on, Wea: girls, 62,582, ae 9,874; portion nimeteen per cent excces of boys; proposed to be accounted for by the facts hat, © proportion of excess of male births, as shown by ye returns im this office tor 1856, war over seven per cent; for 1854, eight per cent; for 187, nine aud one-half per cent; aggregate prope.sion of excess eight and a quarter per cent Secondiy, more stillborn meles than females are i—tor the part year, stili- borm males, 964; females, 610— premature births, nod 401; females, 173. These accidents of parturition usuall: uy cecur on account of the grester size of the male chil Thircly, the greater exposure of male children to acci- cents, and perhaps to the general causes of disease!
