A movement ‘will be made to restore those immense tracts to the jo ple of the State, or compel the taxes to be paid. Jn our private opinion, a greater swindle was never perpetrated ‘wpon te State than the taking possession ef that immense @omain ‘by that bankrupt and miserable concern. ‘The Senate spent nearly the entire seas:on upon the Dill extending the charter of the Harlem Railroad ‘ ompany * for thirty years, and allowing steam to be used dows :8 far as Forty-second street during the same period of ime. Several Senators objected to this long steam term; Dut an amendment proposed by Senator Ely, that the Legistature should reserve the right to modify the law at i By subsequent period, the thirty years was retained, * epator Spinola opposed the bill very strenuously through Nits stagee; but he stood almost alone, ‘This morning Mr. Hutchinson, Chairman of the Canal Committe in the House of Assembly, reported the bills or raising revenue to expend on the canals the ensuing year.

This morning, the members of the Assembly, the visi- fers in the lobbies and galleries, aud even the officers and reporters, were thrown into a high state of fearful excite- ment by the announcement of General Duryea, a member from Brooklyn, that the plaster and ceiling overhead in the Chamber, and, indeed, the entire upper structure of the Capito!, was {n danger of falling with a tremendous crash every moment. It seems that the roof and the work that Sustaine the ceiling are both in a very weak and dilapi- dated condition. The heavy ceiling, it appears from an examination, is on|y sustained by ap inverted truss, se- ‘ured by iron bolts, liable to fall any moment. Architects, having made an examination, s’ate that the building is un- safe, and is liable to crumble, with the least jarring @n the upper flooring. The Hon. Marcus D. Moore, ® builder aad architect, member of the House, from Brooklyn, also made an examination. He stated that ‘the floor of the committee rooms above had settled more ‘than a foot, and tbat he was fearful that the ceiling might fall upon the heads of members with the least jarring above. He pronounced the support of the ceiling dispro- Portioned in strength to sopport the immense weight of ring hanging upon the lathing. From these facts the adopted a resolution authorizing the trustees of the ‘Capitol to proceed, with all possible despatch, in strength- ening the dilapidatea structure called the Capitol of the State of New York. It is proper to gtate that the Assem- bly chamber was enlarged some three or four years since, which rendered it necesgary to demolish the main wall in the rear, and romove it Some ten or twelve feet to the year. The support of the ceiling of the Assembly chamber $8 of an architectural display, similar to that of the Sey- enth avenue arsenal roof in the city of New York. The State Agricultural Society holds its annual meeting ‘fm the Assembly chamber on Wednesday next. ‘The usual ‘snoual address will be delivered, the election of officers take place, and the location of the next State fair be set- fied. There seems ro opposition to holding it in the yi- tivity of the city of Albany. Tunis Van Vechtin, a venerable and highly respocted €itizen, of the real Knickerbocker ancestry, died in this eity this morning. He was formerly Mayor of this city, and held other disting stations during various pe- riods of his life. He suffered some five years from a gevere stroke of paralysis, ‘THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH. Atnany, Feb. 4, 1859. Hon, Charlee H.

To supply this deficiency it will be necessary to divert the Waters of Fish crock. Jt is estimated that from this Pource a supply of 10,000 cubic feet of water per minute “ean be obtained, at a cost not exceeding $59,000. A depth of seven fect can be obtained on this portion of the Eric canal the coming season, at a cost of $125,000. At Present, not more than five fect can be relied on.

It is recommended to rec ‘the three eastern Jocks of the canal, and to enlarge them and the fissure of the canal—a distance of three miles—ao that Yhe largest class of boats navigating the Erie canal may Teach Waterford. It is also necessary to reconstruct ten ‘Het locks north of Waterford. To consiruct them of stone would cost 350,000; of wood, $112,000.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Pripar, Feb. 4—6 P. M. The following returns from the Custom House, of the trade of this port for January, will show how sudden and how extensive the revival of commercial speculation bas Ddeen:— COMMERCE OF THE Port FOR JANUARY.

The receipts from the customs for January amounts to $3,478,471. The non-arrival of the steamer tends to check opera- tions as well in the stock as in the money markets. The Jeading feature of both to-day was dulness. Bank officers report a rather less active demand for money, but like- wise a tendency toward a diminution of the supply. Very few Danks have now any loans out under six per cent; and should a steamer from Liverpool bring advices of fur- ther political complications, or—what is quite likely—an increase in the Bank rate of discount, some of the more conservative managers are prepared to adopt still more active defensive measures. Private capitalists lend at various rates, according to their private views of the ten- dency of the money market; but six must be quoted as the general rule for call loans, and six or seven the mini-"| mum for the best short paper. There was very little business done at the Stock Ex- change this morping. Since the retirement of the great ‘bull the only buyers of stocks have been the bears, who have, within the past day or two, gathered in their profits with such a good will that there can be but few, if any, shorts left. Unless some new speculative movement for the rise be now inaugurated, there isa chance that rail- ‘way stocks will fall to their natural level, Ina few days the dividend on New York Central will be declared. This is likely to be a turning point in stock movements. Many persous, when money was cheap, bought Central to hold for the dividend; when that is declared they will proba- bly sell it out. Very few will run the risk of other six months of peril and anxiety; and, as Central generally gives a certain cue tothe market, it is quite likely that the ‘most important movement will date from the declaration of this dividend. Pacific Mail, which yesterday was extrmely active and mercurial, was quieter to-day, and did not flactaate mate. rially from the opening price. Some of the share- holders appear to think that if the whole of their property were sold at auction to-morrow they would be able to give over $100 a share to the owners; and that whether Mr. Vandorbilt’s line goes into effect or not, the buriness will still justify the company in paying at Jeast twenty per cent in dividends this year. But it is un- deniable that, whether from design or accident, the com- pany’s officers bave not contrived to win much public good will either on this side or on the Pacific; and on occa” sions like these, popularity is of some consequence. If an arrangement couid be made for a weekly service to Cali- fornia, to be alternately performed by Vanderbilt's boats and by the Pacific Mail, in conjunction either with the pre. sent United States Mail Company or some other steamboat owner on the Atlantic, the interests of the public would be promoted; and, if what we hear of the amount of freight waiting transportation at Panama and Aspinwall be true, there is ample business for two lines. The busipess in State and government: securities was moderate this morning. The new United States loan sold as low as 102%, at which rate very few of the successful bidders can cover their expenses. None of the foreign houses appear to be buying this loan. Missoaris were rather higher than yesterday, though considerably lower than the price current afew days ago. The business in bonds and bank stocks was very small. The Western railroad stocks wore fairly active at prices not materially varying from yesterday's quotations. Tilinols Central stock has become much more plentifal than formerly, and can now be sold, soller’s option, within a fraction of the cash price, Michigan Southern guaran was aabade higher; very few stocks on the list prosant a better prospect of recovering than this. Galena con- tinues depressed below the point at which the dividend was declared. Rock Island is pretty steady. Harlem preferred and common stock were both a ehade higher this morning. New York Central was 1 lower, with leas activity than usual. In the afternoon the business done was vory light, and mostly confined to Pacific Mail and one or two of the Western stocks. Many excellent bonds are being preseed for tale by parties who bought them for a rise, and do not care to carry them any longer at the enhanced rate of interest. The closing prices to-day; were Missouris, 84a 26; Pacific Mail, 774 a 3g; Hudson River, 314 a 32; Reading, 48% a %; Michigan Central, 49% a 60; South- ern guaranteed 453¢ « 1¢; Panama, 114% a %; Illinois Cen tral 06% © 7%; Galena, 68% a 69; Rock Island, 5914 0 5934, &o, The market cloeed steady. The business of the Sub-Treasury continues to be large.

The offi cial estimate of the receipts from duties at this port for the current month is $4,000,000, Thus far'the receipts are iv excess of the proportion required to make up this sum at the end of the month, ‘The exchanges at the Bank Clearing House to-day wore $18 215/678 18, and the balances $793,608 38.

The importations of foreign dry goods, including the cargo which came by the Arago onthe 29th ult., were quite large the past week, and the assortments of both staple and fancy articles are extensive and complete. Do. mestic cotton goods have been active and prices well sus- tained, and many articles have been sold in advance of production. The manufacturers continued to be well em- ployed, and to realise steady profits, The producers of cotton and woollen goods are, to a great extent, contented with the tariff of 1857, and, asa general thing, neither seek nor desire any change, The producers of heavy woollens gained all they desired, under the present reve- nue laws, when they succeeded in having cheap wool al- lowed to come in duty free; and the producers of cotton goods obtained advantages by having the'free list greatly extended, £0 as to embrace chemicals, dye woods, &., largely consumed in print works. The chief discontents are found in other interests, embracing those of iron, coal, &c. The only plausible excuse that can be alleged for raising the duties is that based upon the amonot for in creased revenue to carry on the government, Should the imports for the remainder of the year correspond with those for the month of January, it is likely that the amount of duties will equalany which could bave been derived under the former tariff of 1846, The bare agita- tion of change in our revenue lawa py Congress hus not been without its effects upon commer movements. Ia anticipation of the possibility of spices being taken from ihe free list and put among dutiabie articles, sent up prices from 25 to 50 per cent. Iron also became’ active, with a speculative movement, with an advance in prices, based upon @ similar contingency. Dry goods have escaped any influence of the kind, from the belief that, should aitera- tions be made, cotions and woollens would be undisturbed. In former years spinners of wool aud cotion have exer- cised a powerful jattaence in changing tari!f3, and ail pre- vious high tariffs and important changes in’ our revenua Jaws were mainly brought about by their exertions, di- rectiy or indirectly. We imagine it will be difficult for other interests to effect important changes wituout toeir co-operation. The estimated domestic consumption of raw cotton this year ravges from 720,000 a 740,000 bales, which, if realized, will be the largest amount ever before consumed in the United Siates. And should trade, foreign and domestic, continue good, there ig no reason to doubt the probable correctuess of the estimite. Before ehip- ments of cotton piece goods can be made with confidence to China, it will be necessary to learn, if possible, the na- ture of the new tariif whicl hus been established between the two countries, Merchants are anxiously waiting its receipt by every steamer which arrives from Europe. It was said that our Minister had atiowed a portion of it to be published in a paper at Macao. The hope is expressed that cotton piece goods may be allowe to enter China free of duty, or, atall events, at low nominal rates, which tend to largely increase our shipments to that country. We continue to export a fair amount of domestic gorda io Brazil and other portions of South America. With Mexi- co our trade has been interrupted by the civil commotions prevailing there. An active trade, however, is carried on acroes the Rio Grande, at Matamoras, and heavy coaduc- tas of specie, which formerly sought an outlet at other points, have recentiy come to that town for exit. Tue reported dictation of France and England over Mexico, 80 as to demand that she should lacrease her tariff, with the view of mecting their pecuniary demands, it is be- lieved, if carried Out, may injuridusly affect’ American trade in that country. ‘The past week's trade, though not displaying the ful tide of the spring seagon, bas in the mai been satixfa tory, and considerably in alvance of the same period in the former year. While the distant Southern trade coa- tinues favorable, there has been a move eucoaraging pros pect from the West, where fupplies of goods have for some time been reduced. There is also a respectable sprinkling of merchants from the Middle and old Western States. Western produce of nearly ail Kinds is now selling at remuneratiy This is especially the . The recent advance noticed in cotton domestics has deen sustained. Heavy stout brown shirtings were firm at 83gc, Fine browa goods were also held at firm rates. Fine bieashed goods were scarce, and Draly held at an wlvance of ie. a 340. T yard wide. Other kinds were gold short of produs- nm. Drills were eteady and in fair domaad, inclading China at 73 c., over 27 jaches wide, Standard makes were at 83¢c., and blue at 10c. Dyed cottons were in fair demand at full prices. Cotton duck was dull. Printing clothe were firm. Prints were in good request, and Prime madders wore seiling at 93<c. a luc., and good do, at 82¢0. upwards, Lawns were selling al svealy prices. Musiin de laiues wore in better request, and good makes ranged from 1c, to 20c, We have no important change to notice in the market for clothe and cassimeres, Mixed sik fabrics were in good demand and gelling ab prices ranging from $1 26 to $1 623, dt foreign goods the aesortinents wore ample, and prices for most descriptions of desirable styles exhibited much steadiness, and many kinds affurded margins for fair to good profits. Staple French goods were firmly held. British pripted goods were meeting with ready sales and prices well maintained, owing to figher rates being de- manded on the other side. Linen goods were alo in demand and held at an advauce, Fancy silk and Marsesiler vestivgs, with medium and low priced clotha, were gelling to a fair extent and at favorable torms for importars CITY COMMERCIAL REPORE.

WASHINGTON MARKET—RETAIL PRICES CURRENT, CAREFULLY REVISED EVERY WEEK FOR THE NEW YORK HERALD. The market men complain exceedingly of the extreme dulness of business. This, no doubt, has been owing to the very unpleasant state of the weather, the muddy con- dition of the streets, and last, though not least, to the ‘most digagreeable condition of the streets contiguous to and around the market, and also to the filthy and crowded cyndition of the interior of the market building. On Fri- day business was very dull. Povurrry.—The receipts of the week, as reported by the American and the United States Express Companies, are about 180 tons, It will be observed that prices range from 1c. to 2c. per pound higher than last quotations. The de- mand has been fair even at the advanced prices, and it is believed that there is lees poultry in first hands than at any time during the last two monthe. From present indica- tions the market has an upward tendency. Western poul- try, of the “half starved” species, is plenty, but is not entitled to any consideration in the list of current prices; it can be bought for a song. Gams.—Prairie Chickens and quail are a little scarcer than iaat week; prices have consequently raised. Venison is plenty, and is selling from 1c. a 2c. per 1b. less than last week, Rabbits are scarce. BExr anD Mutron.—Beef is higher than last quotations. The butchers say this is caused by the scarcity of good stock and an increased price demanded of first hands, Uniess cattie should come to market in better condition ‘than they have Mae: ‘the last few weeks, the prices will go up still higher. Mutton of prime quality and extremo- ly peatiy dressed is in abundance at the upper market, and at prices as last quoted. The supply for this Veal —Good veal is scarce. q@arket comes from Philadelphia, and has a very clear white appearance. Bad veal, or what is termed by marketmen, + bob veal,” is plenty. It has a very soft, blueish rance, with scarcely pees ona carcass, and is totally unwholesome for human food. On Friday one of the Health Wardens seized twelve carcasses of this “ bob veal,’’ and sent them to Barren Island. That clal might have found a few more carcasses of the ame gort,” if he had made a little closer scrutiny in the lower market. Fist.—Shad has suddenly disappeared from the market. ‘There has been none on the stands for five days. Other kinds of fish remain ag last quoted. Berrer,—Prime butter is worth from 1c. a 2c, per pound more this week than last. The retai) prices for in: ferror qualities remain about the same, although a few wholesale dealers control the market. They are holding on under the stimuius of a fair demand from Boston and Philadelphia, Wholesale prices, therefore, have advanced from te, a 2c. per pound. There is no probability, how: ever, that retail prices will advance for the*present. Cress is_a fraction higher, with an upward tendency. Honry.—Thbis article is out of season, and is scarce at present prices Rees are rather poor. The warm weather has almost puta quietvs upon this commodity. The prices have jajlen, and unless the cold weather gets in soon, the egg market will oe 0. Salted fleh, pickles and dricd fruit remain at prices as last quoted Vegetables are plenty. Canliflowers are ont of the market.
