One of the journals published vear the metropolis re- cently contained an article suggesting the disbanding of ‘Utah by the repeal of the act organizing that Territory, and the dividing it out in several parts, and ennexing thom to the adjoining Torritories. Tho paper seems to Yegard this as an original suggostion, That matter has ‘been under consideration and discusston"tmong members of Congress, and particularly those of the Committee on ‘Territories, for two or thre yeara past. Several formida- ble, perbaps insurmountable, objections present them- Belvos to this course:—First, their great distance from the Settloments in any other Territory would render it im- practicable for such ‘Territory to enforce its laws upon ‘them, Second, their number is such that they would out vote the people of any other Territory, and would, if an- nexed, Mormonize such Territory, instoud of being curod by it.’ Third, if Utah were divided and a part only at- tached to each of the other Territories, still, whenever noceesary they would all remove into one of’ tho parts, and s0 command power by their united numbers to con. stitute a arb, in the Territory to which that purt was annexed. This is regarded as @ course dangerous and un- just to those adjoining Territorios. AFFAIRS AT THE STATE CAPITAL. Our Special Albany Despatch. FRW MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE-—NO DEVELOPEMENT ‘OF S{ATE POLIOY AS YET—PHE REGISTRY LAW— AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION—THE COMMIS- BARY GENERAL, CANAL AUDITOR, QUARANTINE, ‘EBTC., ETC. ArBany, Jan. 17, 1859. ‘This bas been a regular ‘blue Monday”? in the Legisia- ture. There was scarcely a quorum in either house. A umber of members obtained Jeave of absence over Sun- day, but a still larger number took the liberty of absent- ing themselves without agking the consent of either house. ‘This may be all well cnough at present, but when busi- ness begins to crowd upon them, if any members absent themselves without cougent, they will be ‘hauled over the coals” with an iron toothed rake. As yet no programme of the dominant party has been presented. It is not divulged what they in. tend to do in relation to the canals—whethor they will make an attempt to borrow moncy directly, or pass a law imposing an increased tax, and ihep borrow for a year in advance of thai tax. Neithor have they showed their hands with regard to re-imposing tolls on railroads. This measure has many strong friends in both branches of the Legislature, but it is ordained that no movement shall be made until a decision of the ruling powers is bad. One or two democrats of the House are prepared to introduce such a bill, bat are withholding to Gscertain whother tolling railroads is among the projects of tho republican party, as promised the canal mon pre- vious to the election. Great expectations aro anticipated . from the influence of Mr. Senator Prosser, a practical canal man, in restoring tolls upon railroads. It begins to looks suspicious with regard to a registry fot a single republican of infloence has introduced ‘the subject. Nearly every Know Nothing in the House has presented a bill differing in the details, The ropubli- cans have not yet given any intimation of their deter- mination. The demdcrats are roundly basting the repub- licans for their cowardice in the matter, and defying them to pass a registry law either for the city of New York or the entire State. The rural mombers will not consent that their constituencies shall be implicated with having Deen engaged in perpetrating “frauds at clections,”” Noy they. Amendments to the constitution will be submitted by dozens. We have haifa dozon propositions alrcady, The ‘election laws want altering—the canal revenues and the restriction for borrowing must be relaxed—the courts, {som Common Pleas up to the Appeals, appear to be all ‘wrong—the expense of appcaling deqisions to the higher courts is too small to keep from the more exalted tribunals very frivolous election of judicial officers, in the estimation of many, is all wrong; and the bolief is quite current that if his Excellency Govornor Morgan was invested with authority, he would place upon the judicial Dench, from country justices to the Appeal bench, a much more competent and exalted array of talent than the ‘people themselves could possibly select. Of course, no Governor would think of appointing partisan judges ! On Wet in executive session, the nomination of Benjamin Welch, of Buitaio, as Commitsary General, will ‘be taken up It has leaked out that two of the republican Senators are not prepared to dismiss General Ward, merely on account of his anti-Seward preferences. On two or three occasions already, in open Senate, an inde- , pendence of party has been exhibited not very consoling or satisfactory to the ruling dynasty. Noither the emocratic nor American Senators will vote for Welch, and if one or two republicans ajso refuse, the nomination may lay over for confirmation, ‘0 nomination for Canal Auditor, in place of Benton, has ‘deen sent in, Although Mr. Leayenworth’s name was Jast year selected by Governor King, and the confirmation os. until the 4th of July on motion of senator ther, we hear nothing of it now.

The gentieman will undou! edly inforu the Legislature what he is driviog at whon discussion is had upon tho subject. The object of the ro- peal act is to prevent tho present commissioners from making any contract on the Orchard Shoals, Mr. Wilson introduced a bill allowing a majority of any city Common Council to order a convention to revise a city ecbarter. If such a law can be adopted, ft may be a ‘matter of inquiry how long would any city charter stay “revised?”’? No, no; Common Councils are too flactuat ing. No charter ought to be amended or revised unless ‘the most imperious necessity exists therefor.

Subsequently he constructed an instrument which he called a mechanical harpsichord, and which completed the foundation of his reputation. He then came to the determination of manufacturing on hig own account. The Duchess de Villeroi having offered him an apart- ment in her hotel, Erard made there his first piano, which brought him numerous orders. A few yours afterwards, Gnding himself compelled to enlarge his workshops, be quitted the hotel of bis kind protectress, and hig brother, Jean Baptiste Erard, joining him, they established to- getber a manufactory of pianos, which soon obtained the vogee, not merely in France, but throughout Europe. the meanwhile the approach of the revolutionary troubles in France brought stagnation upon industrial pur- suits of every kind, and induced Sebastian Erard to cross over to London, where he established a factory similar to that of Paris. Ho returned to France in 1796, and it was then that ho made his first grand pianos, ia which he in- troduced the English mechanism, but with improvements of bis own invention, ‘The harp bad also long occupied his attention. This instrument, s0 admirable in regard to sonorousness, had boen, up to thig time, defective in regard to its mechanism, which did not permit it to modulate freely. Nurnberiess efforts bad been made to remedy this defect, but it still existed in spite of all he improvements introduced. Se- bastian Erard applied himscif to the task, and his genins triumphed where his predecessors had failed, Abvandon- ing the syetem previously pursued, ho invented what is called the mechanism d la fourchette. These new harps, the first of which were made in Paris towards the year 1789, and which, ia 1794, received modifications in the London factory, circulated’ rapidiy throughout France and England. On the expiration of Erard’s patent, his im- provements were adopted by other manufacturers, and the harp seemesl to have arrived at the highest degree of fection which it could attain; when Sebasti imself, abandoning his first system, substitu for it another, which was much superior. Ho in- vented what is called the double action. Returning to Loncon about the year 1808, he put his ide: into execution, and the first harp witha doubie action waa} completed in 1810. Frard, it 1s said, sold in London in the course of the first is harps wanufactured on thi system to the amount of $125,000. He returned to Fraue towards the year 1912, imported his discovery there, and since that time ali the harps made in iis factories in Lon- den and Paris have been similarly coustructed. Sebastian, notwithstanding these successes, could not abandon himself to repose. Always pre-occupied with fresh ideas for the ds i bag as of the two instruments to which he bad dey his life, he again turned his atten- tion to the piano. After numberless experiments he at last presented, at the Exposition of 1823, the model of his grand piano with the double action—a chef d’auvre of me- chanical combination. He had proposed to himself a most difficult problem—that of giving to the pianist the means of making the key speak at whatever degree it was press- ed. In other pianos as soon as the —o touched the es- capement operates and the hammer falls, and in order to make the uote sound again the dager must be raised and pressed anew. In ’s mechanism, the hammer only falling in proportion to the depression of the key, the latter founds at almost imper- ceptible degrees of compression, and one does not require to raise the finger entirely to make it repeat. Sebastian Erard also effected important improvenients in tho organ. The idea of giving expression to this in- strument by finger pressure alone had occurred to him before the year 1799: he had even demonstrated his dis. covery in pregence of Gretry, who desoribes it enthusias- tically in his memois, ag “the philosopher's stone in music,’ but notwithstamding this, the execution of the instrument had been interrapted and abandoned. Thirty years later Erard again took np the idea and coustrypted ‘an orgau, which he exhibited m 1827, and which became an object of generat admiration, The instrament lind two finger bourds; the upper one was that of expression, the lower one was used when it was desired merely to produce ‘Thie instrament was to have Deen placed in the King's ebapel, but as it was found that its volume of sound was’ too great for it, Sebastian constructed another ou smaller dimensions, which was still more porfest. It had three finger boards: one, the upper, ‘gave expression by the pressure of the fingers—that is'to say, each touch coald separately swell the sound; the two other key boards had only an expres. gion common to all the notes, and that was obtained by | means of a pedal which, according to the greater or lessor preseure of the foot, swelled or diminished thesound of the whole mass of ‘tho instrument. ‘The organ of the King’s chapel was damaged during the revolution in July, 1830; the other was placed in the chapel of La Muctte’ This was the Inst invention of Sebastian Erard. His end was now approaching; ho had been operated successfully for the stone in the year 1824, but six years later the dis. | ease reappeared, and all the resources of art proved ia. effectual to prolong his valuable life. He died on the 5th of August, 1831, at the chateau of La Muette, near Paris, which he bad inhabited several years, and where he had assembled a splendid collection of oil paintings. His brother, Jean Baptiste, having preceded bim to the tomb about four years, the syceession to the immense es- tablishments which had been created by his genius, devolved on his nephew, M. Pierre Erard. ‘The Jattor displayed in his career not only admtnistrative capacity but mventive skill.

You say doubts are entertaincd as to my vote upon the propésition to displace Judge Douglas from the chairmanship of tho Seuate Territorial Committee. I voted against the proposition, Ideemed a change un- called for and unwise. Perhaps in this connection it will not be improper for me to say that I haye thus far sup. ported Mr. Buchanan, and shall contiaue 30 to do, believ- ing that the time will’soon come when the Ameri¢an poo- ple, without distinction of party, will look back upon his administration with admiration and pride, i. M. RICE. Sevator Doveias’ Manirasro.—The Chicago Jerald says of the remarkable manifesto of Senator Douglas ageinst tho democracy aud uational administration:— That manifesto of the Zimes, as we are credibly in- formed, had been decided upon aud duly prepared vefore Douglas started on Lis journey to the South, and, in obedience to his instructions, was published the moment it was ascertained that his re-election was secured, ALive ANp KicsixG.—the old whig perty of New Hamp- shire have had a sort of resurrection in the late republi can nominations.

Hor Hit.—The Jackson Mississippian almost brings back the dog days by the following “drive”? at the Little Giant:— Covered with tha adinm ofmuch CewstuDld heresies— stained with the dishonor of a treachery without a paral- Jel in the political history of the country—fresh from the warm cmbraces of Seward and Greeley and Giddings— this man has dared to preseut himself in the South, to look her bonest sors and danghters im the face, and to ask their hospitality. We would not arouse the violent ous of men. We would stay the avenging rod of justice rather than the chivalry of the South should be tarniehed by asingle rash or imseemly act; but yet, if smarting under the keen scnse of cruel wrong—if goaded by the conviction of outrageous injustice, she were to welcome her betrayer ‘with bloody hands to tho hospita- Die grave’’—the gibbet or the fuggot—there would be a atrong array of irresistible facts in tho cage to extenuate the act. Brooklyn City News. Tus Gas Contract Aporrsn.—At a meeting of the Com- mon Council last night, Alderman Kalbfleisch presiding, Alderman Van Brunt presented the majority report of the Gas Committee, signed by himself and Alderman McDonald. It direets the officers of the city to contract with the Brooklyn Gas Company for supplying the Wes- tern distract with gas, on the following terms:—lIst, that the mains shall be put down under direction of the city officers; 2d, that a bond of indemnity shall be given by the be Bed damages arising from taking up the streets; 3d, whenever a street shall be taken up, the compaby shall restore it to its former condition; 4th, that they shall supply the city with gus equal to that used in New York for public streets, and light, extinguish and clean the public lamps at $2 per 1,000 cubic feet; fth, that there shall bo no ebarge to the city for metres: 6th, that there shall be no charge for metres to private con sumers receiving $15 worth of gas a year, and that the ice to private consumers shall not exceed $: 7 ,000 cubic feet; 8th, that the appointment of lam ers shall be made in accordance with the charter; 9th, that the contract shall last from the Ist January, 1859) to 81st December, 1864; 10th, that the privileges shiall not be exclusive—the city shall have power to authorize other companies to lay down mains for private consumers; 11th, that the agreement may be declared void by the Common Council, if the company violate their share of it. Alderman DovG.ass presented a minority report antho- rizing the compaay to charge $2 50 per 1,000 cubic feet to the city and private consumers. After some discussion Alderman Karertxiscs offered an amendment fixing the term of the contract at three years instead of five, which was lost by a vote of nine ayos to ten nays. « ‘An amendment to the effect that the Common Council shall bave the right to purchase the stock and fixtures of the gas company at a fair valuation at the expiration of the contract, was adopted by a vote of seventecn to two. ‘Alderman BackHovse moved to amend that the con tract #hould be (or four years instead of five, which was ost by a vote of nine ayes to ten nays. ‘The vote upon the contract, a8 reported by the inajority of the cominittec, was then’ taken, and resulted as fol- lows :— Ave— Whitt Van Brunt, alg—i2. ‘ Taylor, Douglass, Backhouse, Wilson, Maujer, ole, Kalblicigch—-7.
