10 MEWS FROM THE STATE CAPITAL Whe Prespect of am Adjourmment—The Bill te Extend the Term of Office of the City Chamberiain—Thne Quarantine Bill—The Gity Hail Removal Bill Pass- e@ the Semate—The Charter Amend- ts and the Sanitary Bill—Insolvent Debtors, &. OUB SPECIAL ALBANY DESPATOU. Aunany, April 11, 1860. The wheels of the legislative machine are still in rapid motion, grinding out the bills, with no prospect of stop- ping for a number of days. To-night closes the one hun- dred days allowed under the constitution for members to @raw pay. One would suppose that business would be soon closed up, and the members packing up their traps and leaving for home; but the list of bills now ordered to a third reading, numbering about ome bundred, and a largo number yet to be reported Dy the select committee, and placed on the list of third reading Dills, at the rate they have been ¢ ing on for the Jest three days, will take them at | st one week longer, and then they will adjourn, withow reaching a score or more bills which will be ordered to @ third reading. Many of them will Sind their way through one house, and ‘then fail in the other for want of time. The scramble ‘among the several parties tosee who shall get their bills frat on the list is really interesting. Many of them are Just now becoming convinced that they have not made Vheir election sure, and that while ‘‘many are called, but Jew are ehosen.”? ‘The lobby is growing day by day more rampant, and at ‘the rate they have been going on for the last two days, come of them will be good subjects for the Insane Asylum. ‘They are daily growing more and more thin skinned and fimister under the ventilation of their various projects: ‘They, however, continue to work upon their several jobs ‘without cessation, night and day, leaving no stone un- Sarned to accomplish their ends. ‘The railroad forces are exceedingly uneasy this morn- mg in regard to the action of the Governor upon the gridirons, ard are exceedingly fearful that the Governor ‘will place his foot upon them, after ail their trials and aaxiety in getting them through the Legislature. You may be prepared to hear any kind of news from the @apita) during the next three or four days; but let no. ‘hing startle you, for if one peal of thunder rolls upon Mew Yerk, be assured that it is only one of a dozen thas will surely follow before the storm passes over. Bmay, perhaps, be blown over by the shifting of the Wind, and visit some other locality instead of Albany; ‘Dut at present the indications are that the clouds will ‘empty their contents upon this locality. Such would seem to be the result from the signs of the times in the lobby ‘this morning. ‘The bill that passed the Senate, a few dave since, in re- @ard to the custoay and deposits of public moneys, aud @oatinuing in office the City Chamberlain, ‘the As- sembly this morning. This is the bili that continues the @eposits in the Shoe and Leather Bank. Mr. Stout, the GQhamberiain, 1 believe, is looked upon in your city 8 a democrat, but the report was circulated in the this morning, a8 coming airectly from Weed, ‘that Mr. Stout had contributed the snug sum of $8,000 to assist the republicans in carrying the Oonnecticut election. Also that another large sum was to be put up for the general election fund next Bevember. This rumor has been to-day circu- lated in the House under the statement that it @ame from Weed dirctly. Whether it came from him Or not, one thing is certain—it secured the passage of the Dili m the House, and only shows to what use this legis- Jaturve machine is put, and goes to confirm some of my former statemenis. The New York city and county tax levy was passed by the Assembly this morning, and sent to the Senate with- wt the $193,000 for Commissioners of Record in it. A large number of other bills passed the House, but all The Quarantine bill which was last evening recommitted ‘to the Select Committee, for the purpose of amending, ‘was reported by Mr. Vermilyea, in accordance with the eompromise that had been made between the contending bere. The compromise has cut off Dr. Jerome, whe has been laboring so bard to accomplish his end, times first before the Senate Committee and then belore the House Committee. Having failed 0 acoomplish what he desires to before the Senate Com- ‘mittee, he rolled into the same bed with Robert Chrystie, Jr., Dr. Thomson, the Lieutenant Governor, and the Com- ‘malssioners of Emigration, and the three have made a most alliance indeed, and after ashort travail brought te @ monstrosity which astonished every one. ‘ebild, however, came very near dying, when it was found that the trouble all Isy with Dr. Jerome and the Léeutenant Governor. It was aacertained that they were ‘the Jonahs in the boat, and they were thrown overboard, ‘aad the Governor and Health Officer placed tn their posi- tien. In'that condition the bill was this morning reported; ‘ut, it requiring unanimous consent, the report was ob- jected to and the Dill retarnea to the committee. . Conkling spoke at some length, denouncing the bill, thought that an attempt to enforce it would cause a war. » Vermilyea said that the bill as it {stands had been agreed upon by ail State officers and the parties holding claims the State for = done in burning the dings, and thought the bill just such a one as would ase all the citizens on Staten Island, and could not in. Jnre New York. ‘The report at that time being objected to, it could not ee and is laid over until that order of business ‘The Senate was also engsged all the morning on third reading of bills, a large portion of which were local. The Dill to provide for blasting the rocks at Hell Gate, East Fiver, was lost, at least for the present; there ts no telling when anything is flaally disposed of in this Legislature. The City Hall bill parsed the Senate, and will now come @own to the House for its action. This is the bill locating ‘the Hall on Madison square, and has been engineered by McLeod Murphy. Nothing was done this morning on the Almbouee bill. There is astrovg party here against it,the leaders of whick declare that it will never pass the Senate. This may be the case, but I doubt their 8 pcg tis stated today, by persons are supposed to know, that eighteen thousand dollars were sent up here from New York to defeat the charter amendments and ‘the Sanitary bill, and that the money has all been used in defeating those two measures. It 1s said also that the clerks in the City Ingpector’s and Street Departmente ‘were taxed fifty dollars per head for this funi. The money has been spent, the bills defeated, and no person ‘who has watched the movements of certain parties here ‘this winter will have to guess twice to tell where at least ® portion of it has gone. It is not a question that meeds much Sagacity to determine. Some of the parties have been so Dold that he that runs may read. ‘The Insolvent Debtors’ bill will certainly pass this Hovi It has been log ro)led into some otber schemes and combination made te put it through. All who have any debts to collect had vetter commence at once, fer unless vetoed by the Governor this bill will become a law. We are living in a fast age, in more senses than one. ‘The Brooklyn Water Dill, in which a groat interest is felt by your Brooklyn neighbors, is undergoing all sorts of revisions. It has this morning ussamed the shape of a removal of the Constructing Board with the Commigsion- era and the letting cut of the contracts without advertising. ‘Thia bas been put into favor Mr. Welles, and only shows what the rapacious lobby think of this Legislature, who think that such a bill is ag easy passed as any other. ‘The citizens of Brooklyn had better move at once, or they ‘will be turned upside down by this bill and placed under the thumbs of a set of speculators. ‘The lightning express newspaper morning train on the Hudson River Railroad is the means of laying upon our breakfast tables New York morning papers. This enter- rise is highly approved, and enables the members of the lature, as well as ali other business people generally, to read and digest the latest intelligence from ail parts of ‘the world before entering upon the active duties of the day. We unceretand that some of the other roads, run- wing west and north of this city, have, in an instance Or two, failed to connect, thereby ‘depriving the western and northern hundreds of thousands of Rreple the receipt of at early intelligence ant i js to be hoped that sugh arrangements will ily be effected whereby..tite ‘morning city papers will reach their respective destinations at the earliest practicable moment. My last despatch, containing five hundred ‘words, was sent over the te! h wires last evening a few minutes before twelve o'clock; it travelled one hun- @ved and fifty miles on the wires, was written out by the telegraph operator, set up in type, printed and back here and distributed tothe Albanians at half past seven this SS three hundred miles in about seven es. ‘Tuo Pro Rata Committes of the Assembly made a ms. Jority report against the bill recently paesed the Tegulate toe freight eaarges upon mix on the Harlem and Erie Railroads. Mr. Hayter made a minority report in favor of the bill, and sustained his report with a few remarks. ‘Mr. Odell spoke at some length in favor of the minori- ty report, stating ‘hat it was a measure demanded by the farmers in bis locality, and hoped that the majority re- pert would be disagreed with and the minority report adopted. It was a question that his constituents were more interested in than any other. Mr Varian thonght it made but little difference what the road charged, the cossumers would have to pay the Ft, { gi F ¥ same. Mr. Palmer favored the minority report After some further discussion the majority report was rejected and the mijnority report agreed to, and the bill referred to the Committee of the Whole. It provides that the Harlem Rajlroad sball not charge ‘but three fourths of a cents instead of one cent per quart for carrying milk from Millerton to New York city, and makes similar cbarge upon the Frie road. ‘The Committee of Cities and Villages reported this eve. ‘Bing the bill providing for the opening of Madison avenue, ‘siso one or two bills to confirm resolutions of the Com- mon Counci!.

There bas been considerable anxiety manifested among the gridiron forces in regard w the action of the Governor upon the city railroads. It seems to be the impression of those best posted in the mi that the Governor will sign them. ‘The only objes toat have been present- ed here against them, hi come from William Allen Butler, or at his , and the general prevailing opinion that more roads are needed, and that competition will regulate the fare, ia thought will override all objections that the Governor may have to the bal pric tnd ‘There will be no day fixed for ment until he or vetoen these bills.

The concurrent resolution authorizing and directing the Governor to transmit such laws and documents as he thivks proper to other States was adopted. The bill to widen Bushwick avenue, Brooklyn, was reported complete. ‘The Assembly bill to repeal the act of 1851, abolishing tolls on railroads, was made the special order for eight o’clock ths evening. ‘The following bills were passed:— ‘To authorize the Supervisors of Kings county to build a court house. To amend the act to facilitate the collection of debts against corporatio To compel better attendance at offices of county clerks and clerks of courts of record, To extend York street, Brooklyn. ‘Tho enacting clause was stricken out of the bill to pro- vide for the improvement of the Fast river.

The bill to authorize the publication of the revised sta- tutes was laid on the table. The bill exempting certain property of physicians and surgeous from levy and sale under execution was reported favorably. Mr. Prosser’s bill for enlarging the locks on the Erie and Oswego caanals, by the appl m of sliding gates, was taken up in the Committee of the Whole. Alter a de- Date progress was reported by a vote which indicates that the scheme is dead for the present session. ‘The bill to abolish capital punishment, exeept for trea- son and murder in the first degree, was taken up, but the committee rose without making any progress. The Senate then took up the bill repealing the act of 1851 abolishing tolls on railroads. Mr. Bioop moved to amend by repealing the seventh section of the congolidation act restricting the Central road, £0ag to put the Central on the same footing with other roads in the State, under the general railroad law. Mr. Ramsay opposed engrafting the amendment on this bill. He was prepared to vote for it as a separate propo- sition. Mr. Hammon favored the amendment. If the bill was introduced as a separate proposition, every person knows: that it would never pags the house, for those who run the machnie there are rapid in their hatred to the Cen- tral road. He argued claborately to show what inestimable benefit the Central road been to the State, and denounced the spirit which animated the lower ‘Houge as having its origin in personal interests, and bei dictated by eelfgh, and not patriotic motives. He was wil- ling to vote down the whole hing now, for he considered that it never should have been introduced at this late hour of the session, but he would support the amendment as just and proper. Messrs, Beit and Ramsay spoke in favor of the bill, and attacked Mr. mond as false to the pledges he made during the canvase. Aunayy, April 11—Midnight. After a long debate, the amendment removing ail re- striction on fare un the Central road was adopted, by a vote of 14 to 13. The bill was then reported to the Senate.

Awaxr, April 11, 1860. The New York city tax levy came up on its final reading. ‘Mr. Wsnsrgr (dem.) moved to recommit with instruc- tions to strike out the one hundred thousand dollars for old contracts.

The Quarantine bill was reported by the committee. An entire new bill is submitted, naming Geo W Patterson, Jobn P. Cummings and Robert Christie, Jr., as commis- sioners to purchase a location for the Quarantine at Sandy Hook or elsewhere, subject to the approval of the Gover- nor, Comptroiler and Attorney General. Mr. Coxx1Nc called attention to the fact that the Qua rantine bill reported by the Committee was an entirely different bill {rom that referred to them. It was a bill in which Robert Christie and Dr. Thomson were interested, and was dangerous in ite provisions. It gave them $50,0C0 for the present purposes of quarantine and em- powered them to sell property te the value of $400,000, with barely any restrictions. He stated on the authority of Mr. Weed, that Hon. Geot ‘W. Patterson would not accept an office under the bill. It was designed to plant piles tng Coney Island and would raise a rebellion ple. Mr. Dwicur raised a point of order, that as the report ‘was improperly before the House, the Speaker has no right to entertain it except by upanimous consent. ‘The report was therefore rejected for the preeent. Mr. Varian made a majority report against the Senate pane the rate of milk freight on the Erie and Harlem Toads. Messrs. FLAGLER and EMERICK presented a minority re- port in favor of the bill. Mesers Patwxr and Opg1. opposed the majority report. Mr. Patwgr argued to show the immense traffic now carried on in milk, and the wjustice of farmers and dealers being compelled to pay rates on milk four fold as high as on avy other species of freight. Mr. Ops spoke at length against the majority report. The majority report was disagreed to, and the bill was sent to the Committee of the Whole. Several bills of local interest were passed—among them one to incorporate the Gymnasiwn of Brooklyn, and the Young Men’s Aseociation. The Kings County Court House bill came down from the Senate amended; and, on motion of Mr. Callicot, it was referred to the B “ookly a delegates to report complete. 1088. 88. ‘The following bills were reported favorably :-— To alter the map of New York relative to Madison avenue.

Adjourned. ‘Phe New Quarantine Bull. Atnanr, April 11, 3860. ‘The following Quarantine bill bas been emuggled along in avery cingular manner—it may be all right—if so, it bas been injured in the hands of its friends. It seems that while Dr. Jerome has been engaged before the Senate Committee on one subject, he has been quietly at work with Dr. Thomson and others, preparing for this bill. A bill was run through the Grinding Committe ¢, and refor red to the aelect committee. The select committee struck outaliafter the enacting clause, and inserted the bill as Delow. It now is upon the third reaaing in the Assembly, withoutjever having been printed. As it now e’ands, with two members of the Commissioners of Emigration and Robert Christie as Commusioner, it looks ag though there was & private understanding in regard to George Taw’s having the firet chance at the old Quarantine grounds:— Section 1.

Literary Intelligence. ‘The London News, in its review of Hawthorne’s new novel, ‘‘Transformation; or, the Romance of Monte Beni,” expresses disappointment with the work. The writer eays:— Any one who compares this novel with “The House of the Seven Gables,” or cither of those we have mentioned (“The Scarlet Letter” and ‘Blithedale Romance”), will, we think, be strongly inclinea to suspect that Mr. Haw: thorne has abandoned the cultivation of what is for him the only remunerative ground in obedience to a mistaken idea of the romantic.

We are prepared to believe, however, that the book bas some merit. ‘An English translation of one of Balzac’s novels, ‘Tho History of the Grandeur and Downfall of Cesar Biroveau,”’ hae been lately published in London, and is announced as the first of a series of translations of Balzac’s, who is less known to English and American readers than any of the modern French novelisis. The present translation is poor, deficient in ease and grace, and errs by over accu- r acy. “The Hallow Isle Tragedy” is the title of another new English novel, ‘(A novel,” says the London Post, ‘so wholly unprecedented in the annals of incomprehensibili- ty as to defy the most scrupulous apd conscientious en- Geavors to discover its drift or Almost every e exbibits faults of construction, errors of grammar, ‘and a total inattention to the commonest rules for punctu- ation.” “Italy in the Nineteenth Century,” by Mr. Whiteside, M. P., is very favorably reviewed by the London press. “Undercurrents Overlooked,’’ by the author of ‘Flemish Interiors,” ‘‘A Roman Catholic’s Views of England” and “The Peculium,”’ a prize essay on the decline of Quaker- iem, are interesting only to who take pleasure in big oe controverty. “Travels in Peruand Mexico,” by 8. 8. Hill. The London Daily News soys:—We must do Mr. Hill the justice of say- ing, on personal testimony the most reliable, that all the main facts advanced in his two volumes are advanced with impartial exactitude and the utmost good faith. Those who bave travelled inthe independent States of South America, and who have teen brought in frequent contact with all graces of society in those States, are ‘witnesses to the accuracy of all Mr. Hill’s statements. “Corayda,”’ and other Poems, by Ernest Jones. If we are ta take the word of the London critic, these verses areas near poetry as the most artistically adorned elo- quence can reeemble it. ‘The poet who of late has met with most success ie Mr. William Stigant, whoee works are spoken of in the most flattering manner by the London press. The Coal Beds of the World—Will They Last? (From the Philadelphia Ledger, April 9.] That one hurdred miliions of tops have been taken annually out of the mines, with the certainty, judging from the pert, that the amount will be doubled and tre- bled, and stil go on to increase, aa time and the world advances, is a startling fact to contemplate. The following is a table of the areas apa solid contents of the coal fields in the principal countries of the world, as given by Prot. Rogers in his ‘Description of the Coal Fields of North America and Great Britain,” annexed to the ‘Government Survey of the Geology of Pennsylvania” :-— re miles of ‘Total United Sat anaee 3 Di jateer, Br.

It will be seen that at the present rate of consumption, 100,- €00.(00 of tons per annum, the coal fields of Pennsylvania alone would meet the demand for 8,164 years. If this consumption were doubled, viz : 200,000,000 tons, the Great apalachian field would meet the strain for 6,937 years. If it were quadrupled, viz : 400,000,000, the pro- Guctive coal fields of North America would sufiice for the worlo’s evpply for 10,000 years to come. To this we vet add the consideration that new coal fields are provgbt to light as exploration becomes more extensive and exact. Dr. Nordenskion, # learned Flemish traveller, who has just returned from & v'sit to the arctic regiops, announecs ‘that he discovered anthracite coa) as far north as Spitz. bergen. One of the most remarkable features of the coal eystem of the globe is its liberal distribution over the northern bemispbere where itis most needed.

For several weeks past the intelligence from Middle Arizona has been replete with accounts of bold outrages committed on the persons and properties of the white oiti- zens of that Territory by thieving bands of marauding Apache Indians, presenting a catalogue of crime with but rew parallels in our history. Hach hour adds « the Ust of crime, swelling the mournful account of the loss of Property, or of some daring outrage committed, upon the white inbabitants, till all sense of security vanishes. & The state of hostility now existing between the Apaches and the people of Middle Arizona, if not early suppressed by our federal government, will in time depopulate the richest and fairest portion of that Territory. ‘We aubjoin an account, copied from the Ariconiam, pub- lished at Tucgon, of the constant annoyances to which the white settlers are subject:— RECENT DEPREDATIONS. On the morning of the 16th, Messrs. Page and started for the mouth of acapon known as the Pinery, distant about thirty-five miles from this place, where they ‘were engaged in getting out lumber. ‘were accom- | eee by Page, who was in delicate , and an teresting girl of ten years of age, the dau; ot Mr. ‘Wm.

It being their intention of making a new i 4 searer their work, they bad started that morning wit yerything necessary, and the following day were to build new home. While Page was with umber, apd Runnells on @ short hunting excursion, party of Indians who were in the mountains not two undred yards distant, rushed down and made f{ the woman and child. After cutting open and de- troying everything in their reach, they started for he mountains, carrying off the clothing of one of the men, he dresses of the women, a saddle and other articles. be women were not missed til the Indians had gots tart of about two hours, when pursuit was immediately made, The report of their having been taken esching tbe valley, several parties immediately started ut. Word being sent to the fort, Capt. Ewell left with all jen he could spare. Thus far pursuit has been fruit- Tess. hep | on foot their trail is very indistinct, and is lost ip many near Most of the parties bave returned un- successful, and it is supposed ere this they are far in the Pinal country. Every effort is being made to secure their Hiberation. A large number of Apache prisoners are held ip captivity at the fort and at this place, who will be giver: up for them, Word bas been sent to the Pinals to that, effect, and’ it is hoped thelr return may be early looked for. On or about the 11th inst. the ranch of Mr. Graydon, on the Sonoita, was visited by Apaches, and robbed of eight head of fine work cattle. e Indians were followed by troops, but escaped with the stolen property. Op the 13th the Santa Rita Mining Company lost eleven bead of norses and mules. Mr. Way, who visited the fort for assistance to pursue the thieves, stated that he saw, before he left. over one hundred Indians in the moun- tains. Mr. Dodson, living at the Sopori ranch, is also = sufferer, On the 16th the Pipals made « visit to the rench, and relieved him of eeven head of vatuable horses; ‘oue cow was aleo killed. BEAVY ROBBERY OF STOCK AND ITS RECOVERY.

The following morning, ahout ten o'clock, they ‘were pureued by Mr. Rodman‘and three other A! Op the night of the 17th, after a chase of over sixty miles, the stock was overtaken, the Indians having left them ‘and escaped into the mountains. Twenty four head were recovered, the remaining six haying been anced, being unable to keep up.
