ALBANY, April 23, 1873, The great question now with everybody here- abouts in any way connected with the Legislature is—When will the adjournment take place? There is no settled opinien about the matter as yet, but it is generally conceded that everything depends upon the report of the Special Jomt Committee ap- pointed some time ago to decide when, how and how long the two houses should occupy themselves with the work of the late lamented Constitutional Commission. The Committee have been at work— atleast they say they have—for the past three ‘weeks, and as yet they have not been able to come to any definite conclusion, They are of one mind on one thing, however, and that is that the legisla- tive business must be got through with before the constitutional work is touched upon. understand WHAT A MUDDLE THERE WOULD BE if tne Legislature made this particular work a part and parce! of the ordinary routine business right in that very stage of the session when every mem- ber is struggling, or if not struggling, at least heavily log-rolling with every other member to se- cure the passage of all his little local bills. There isarumor afloat two-day that, although the Com- mittee have not been able to settle the mooted question among themselves satisfactorily, the general feeling of the two houses is in iavor of a special session, and that this teeling has been dis- covered by the soundings taken by the Committee. On the other hand there is the dead certainty that ‘THE GOVERNOR WILL NOT CALL A SPECIAL SESSION, mo matter what pressure may be brought to bear upon him. Now, then, what will be the upshot of she whole thing? The members say they can’t afford to stay here over a month without pay from the State, although it is rumored in the lobby that there are many men of skilled talent in town who Believe they can, and without pecuniary loss of any kind. Re that as it may, the cry is “I want to go home,” and judging from the present aspect of affairs it will require all the ingenuity of the Jobby on the one side and the determin- ation of the Committee and its friends on the other to make the virtuously inclined Senators and Assemblymen remain here long enough to consider the amendments of the Com- mission, One of the strongest arguments used by those members who want to get away at THE CLOSE OF THE REGULAR LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS is that the consideration of the amendments is not absolutely necessary this session, and that if the people will not countenance a special session for an extraordinary work, they don’t see why they should sacrifice their precious time in benall of the dear pubic for nothing. It is probable that the whole dimMculty will finaily be settled by the two houses Oximg a certain day, say the 10th of May, when the censideration of the ordinary legistative business Will be regarded as at an end, ‘his day will be a Friday or saturday, and then an adjournment will be taken io the following Monday, when operatious will be begun upen the constitutional amend: ments. There are many who claim that an adjoura- ment of ten days ought to be taken alter the closing up of the ordina legisiative business, but their arguinents are met by the very strong preb- ability that it would require A CORPS D'ARMER as large as that now commanded by Major General Husted to secure a yuorum after the ten days would expire. Itisto be hoped that no matier what dificulties may lie in the way, that the Legis- Jature will not adjourn without disposing of the constitutional amendments in some way. If they do adjourn without considering them and no spe- cial session 1s called the amendments cannot be voted on bs Aa people before the general election in 1877. they consider and pass them in some shape and the Legisiature of 1874 passes favorably upon them the hago od will be able to act in the matter in 1875. will thus be ween that the present Legislature has it in its power indirectly to give the State a half-new con- stitution two years from now; and that they have also the power to save two years’ time by simply considering and passing the amendments this ses- sion. It is not reasonable to suppose that a mere p moaphon of dollars and cents will have weight in settling Of this question, THE EMIGRANT PEK CAPITA BIEN. ‘The bill amending the several acts relating to isthe powers of the Commissioners of Emigration, and \ foo increases the emigrant per capita to ‘as passed in the Assembly to-day by a vote of 70 to 730. ‘This bill was introduced last March by Mr. Pierson and was backed up, it is said, by ail powers and influences that the Commission- It ts understood that the Commissioners, or rather the {reuds the bill which puts out of oflice the present Commissioners, are also in favor of this increase on the ground that the Commission is already in debt, and all that sort Of thing. The shipping interests in New York are arrayed “against the bill, and there are those who claim that if it becomes # law it will revive the efforts some made te induce the United States gov- ernment to take charge of the emigration business entirely, and, even if the United States should not interfere, compel emigrant ship owners to iand their engers ut other ports than New York. How the will fare in the Senate it would be hard even to conjecture. It 18 @ bill which, if it ever becomes Slaw, will seriousiy affect a large interest in New ‘York, and it behooves those who are most con- .oerned to aqueich it in the Senate, if thut be a pos- ability.

HURRYING UP. ‘The Assembly has done a rushing business to-day, and eet it was by no means sie ee To-day over sixt; is were passed, ie day before over ernie The clerks ro working like beavers, and it is likely that in a few days the busi- ness will be even all round, THE USURY BILL. In the Senate this morning Senator Wi:slow asked that his bill to regulate the rate of interest, defeated some weeks ago, and laid aside for re- consideration at the time, be taken again from the table, which was agreed to by a vote of 19 to Mr. D. b. Wood then said if the bitl was amen postpoaing the time of its taking effect until Janu- ary 15, next, he could vote for it, and he asked unanimous consent that it be so amended. tor Murphy objected, and Wood thereupon moved to recomimit the bill to the committee reporting it, with instructions to amend it accordin; Senator Benediet said that the bill had been dis- astrously defeated when it came up here before, but now there is A FLURRY OVER THE USURY TANS in Wall street, and a committee has been here, by means of which the friends or try bat hoped to galvanize it into life. They ho 1 ish usury by making it legal, just as they might hope to abolish pocket-picking b by legalizing the tiade of the pickpocket. Senator Lewis said it was an casy thing to get around the Usury law. As it stood now the banks may loan money at seven percent, and if they charge more they are simply hable to lose the in- terest, while private individuals charging these usurious rates are liable te lose both interest and Prmcival Money men of this State, instead of loaning money at home, go to adjoining States, where the Usury laws do not prevail, and there obtain higher rates of interest, This will be the case wherever THIS FOOLISH USURY LAW prevails and as long as money is considered as not acommodity. We ought to have no law at all. Mr. Dickinson favored the additional time, be- cause the bill was likely to create a financial revo- lution, and the people of his district, avd indeed of every district Aynere they are content to get rich slowly and loan their oereg A to sure payers at seven per cent, instead, as iu New York, Se rapidly and recklessly into speculation, satistied, il one venture at heavy interest carries, with the 108s of several others; the honest people of all districts will require time to fortify themselves against this revolution, Senator Madden thought that the amendment Ought not to prevail, as the bill etherwise would be A DEAD COCK IN THE PIT, Senator D. P.Wood ecautionedthe Senator against over-confidence. The baggage train has arrived and the Commissary has opened his provision bags. All Wall street has arranged to secure the passage of this bill, The Senator from the Eight- eenth (Mr, Winslow) proclaims that this bill will pass new. The men are in their places; he has counted them and he knows his strength. Mr. Winslow—It is false, sir! . Wood—You asserted that the bill would 5 you have net counted an a Ikte eany to | PReD AOGE zee Sere a arranged your men { Know not how you cau make that asser- tion. Mr. Winsiow—My judgment. Mr. D. P. Wood—Then your premises are weak. (Laughter.) But I again warn gentlemen against over-confidence in the deleat of thus bill. lhave heard matters that I do not care torepeat. THE BANKS OF WALL STREET have been calied upon to contribute for its pas- sage, and money has been freely tendered for that purpose. Senator James Wood inquired where was this baggage train’ Senator D. P. Wood said that he must inquire elsewhere of some one who knew bette Senator Lewis declared that there was no better place to go for the injormatien than to the gentie- Iman who makes the assertion. If any baggage train has arrived, it is for the purpose of lobbying against this bill, Tor its provisions are all against the banks. Senater Benedict said no; the deputations here were for the banks. Senator Lewis—If the Senator from the Fifth has ee approached by the baggage train probably he nows. Senator Benedict--I will not call them by the name of baggage train, but I have been approached bya gentleman from the money centre of New York city, Who argued with me in favor of the pass- age oj this bill, Senator Lewis thought we had no more right to put a legal price on money than on manufactures and labor, These men who iorm combinations fn Wail street to lock up money should simply be put in jail for conspiracy. Senator D. P. Wood said as far as the bill repre- sented the interests of banks, he had a petition now, signed by every banking jpany in his city (Syracuse), asking him to vote for this bill, And the presidents of some of these banks had been waited upon by the “REGULAR LEGISLATIVE MIDWIVES,” and given to understand that substantial reasons must be forthcoming to secure the passage of the bill, “Skilled talent” had been brought to bear in its interes “ Legal services” of men who are not legal adepts had been put in prac Senator Tiemann asked if tne Senator could tell him where he would find a check tor his baggage in that baggaue train. (Laughter,) Senator Murphy said tiiat the Senator from the Twenty-second was given to insinuating that mem- bers were induenced by IMPROPER MOTIVES in their legisiation, aud now he hints that the members ure to be influenced to the Eease of this bili by the passengers on this coming baggage train. Yet he admits that itis a good bill and he will vote for it, provided itis amended to postpone the day of its taking eflect to January next instead of next Summer. Now, if it is a good bill, I can see no reason why it should not take effect at once, A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR, accompanying tue report of the committee of the Grand Jary inveslgating relative to the usury sys- tem, Was announced at this Reins, but it was not in order to read the report. The question was on the motion to recommit with instructions, and it was lost by the following voie (democrats marked in Italics) :— ON RKCONMITTING.

James Wood held back, equally reluctant to commit himself, and a general disposition to awatt further returns irom “that baggage wagon’? was visible on all sides throughout the voting. If that baggage wagon Was a mere joke of the humorous Senator from Syracuse, it proved a very cruel one. Senator Perry was absent when the vote was taken, and on ag was, at his request, recorded in the neg- atiy: The act supplementary, THE GILBERT ELEVATED RAULROAD ACT, introduced this morning by Senator Weismann, provides that persons me, have reason te object to the route as located by the Commissioners may have the right, within thirty days, to apply to the Supreme Court for an examination into their ob- Jections with a view to granting ap order changing the route, The Appropriation Bill the Special Order for To-Day—The Canal Repair Bill Without a Quorum—Van Nort’s Salary—Report of the Erie Inwestiga- Committee=—The Usury Bill and the Grand Jury. ALBANY, April 23—Hvening. The Assermbly bill making APPROPR&ATIONS FOR THE SUPPORT OF THR Gov- ERNMENT, and for other purposes, was the special order to- night in the Senate, and took up the whole of tle evening session. It appropriates about ten mil- lion dollars for the various general uses of the gov- ernment. Tie bill, engrossed with the Senate Committee’s amendments, was read, requiring at least an hour in the reading, when it was discovered that it was very different from the printed bill on the files, and an attempt was made to progress itin order that it mignt be printed, a number of Senators declaring that they could net conscten- Uously or intelligently legistate for the appropria- tion of $0 many million dollars without having the printed bill before them. The proposition was yoted down, however, and the Senate had to con- tent iteelf with tbe ragher doubtful substitute of memory for print. One of the Senate amend- ments provides for the compensation of quar- antine commissioners at $2,500 each, and that the present Board of Quarantine Com- missioners be abolished, their duties and functions devolving upon the Comptroller of the State and the Health OMcer of New York city. The discussion proceeded, and Senator Lowery made a strong argument against a section whtch, he claimed, substantially appropriated $125,000 to sectarian schools. Senator Benedict, in "reply, shewed that the institutions referred to were not sectarian schools, but the academies attached to union scheols, and that while the principal in some instances might be of one sect, a mae of the assistants were of other se sibly the greater number of scholars of still ober o sects, the utmost harmony exists in mest of them, and theological doctriaes are in nowise taught. The bill was finally aan and made a special oraer jor Thursday A bill was intoduoed to-night by Senator Bene- dict which provides that THE SALARY OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS in New York city shall, after December 81, 1872, be fixed at $10,000, and the Comptroller 1s directed to pay Mr. Van Nort all arrears on that basis. REPORT OF THE ERIE INVESTIGATING COMMITTER. Mr. Babcock, from the Erie Investigating Com- mittee, submitted a purtial report, as iullows :— The soloct committee appointed by the Assembly to in: vestigate and report as to the alleged misconduct and Miomanagement’on the part of the iEFle Rallway Com- pany, respectiully report that they have diligent ‘su uiry during the time allotted by the House; that the terdimgny taken has been conclusive upon some points: but that they Rave been unable to secure, the, at. lendanee or arrest tor contempt under the resolution of the House, of Mr. William M. Tweed or John B. Dutch witnesses” ‘whove testimony, it. is pelleved, would be important to one branch of this investixation. The commitiee believe that If @ further extension of me was allowen the attendance of the ve-named might be secured, but they have dec cd not to as selves for any flirther extension for the takin ot test: mony, but if the House so orders they will abide by its directions. A considerable amount of the testimony tiken is not yet Asem and by reason of this fact, and the fur- ther fact that the committee have been almost constantly engaged !rom day to day in the taking of testimony, the are not able to make thelr Anal report at this time, ani respecttully ask the House to allow time. Mor the testi- mony to be printed and a final report to be made there- from, and therefore offer the following resolution -— Resolved, That the Select Committee appointed by th House to inivestigaie the affairs and alleged misco ofthe Erie Railway hereby allowed an extension ve printed the Westimony taken by them ‘and tor sBgeranin their final report. T. H. BABOOCK, Chairman, in behalf of the Committee. Mr. Opdyke moved to add ten days longer for the purpose of taking testimony, as he understood the committee to say they have been unable to secure the attendance of certain witnesses. Mr. big stated the purport of the resolution. Mr. Ray thought Tile extension of time should be allowed. Mr, Roche said that men talked of usitg ten days now as if they were at the com- mencement of the session, while the fact was they were over the hundred days, and it was time they went home and afforded reliei to the people of the State. Mr. Husted said, as he understood it, the committee had asked for no further time. He therefore moved the previous question, and it was ordered. The question was then taken on Mr. Opdyke’s motion and it was negatived almost unanimousiy. The report was then meet sg and the resolution of the committee was adopted. THE CANAL EXTRAORDINARY REPAIR BILL was discussed this evening as a special order in the Assembly. The bill was ably cham isaee by the Chairman of the Canal Committee, Mr. Batch- eller, which committee, by the way, has, by care- fully scrutinizing the estimates sent in by the Canal Commissioner, reduced the appropriations from $1,400,000 last ‘year to $800,000, Last. year, beside the former amount, $400,000 was appro- priated as a deficiency, The total revenue from the canals last year was a little over three millions, and Mr. Batcheller believes that not only will the $800,000 appropriated for extraordinary repairs be saved, but that there will be @ surpius, Mr. Al- berger also spoke in favor of the bill,as did Mr. Rose, who, however, claimed that we were being taxed too much every year for completing canals that had already been completed, When Mr. Al- berger had concluded his speech a motion was made by Mr. Lewis to report progress on the vill. A count was called for on this motion, and it was discovered that there was not @ quorum present. A _ call of the House was then moved by Mr. Brewer, and, after the Committee had risen, he renewed the motion in the House, Charley Cornell, however, ares into the breach with a motion to adjourn, which, on being put, was evidently lost, but the Speaker, seeing that the members present were up to mischief, de- elared the motion carried despite cries upon all sides fora count. ‘Ihe absentees, who have just come irom the theatfe and ascertamed how the Speaker saved them in the nick ef time, feel con- siderably elated and promise to be good Little boys in the future, THE USURY BILL which passed the Senate this morning was, after a little squabble to-night, made a special order tor next Tuesday evening. The Committee of the New York Grand Jury, who are expected here to-mor- row, it is said, will do thetr utmost to have the bill go through the House all right. The clamor over the money lock-ups in the city of late and the representations of the Grand Jury last week, ought certainly to have some weight with the country members. Ii they do not want to go “the whole hog” in the usury repeal question, they ought, the New Yorkers claim, give New York at least what 1s so mperatively demanded by the merchants and commercial classes generally. THE WASHINGTON MARKET BILL passed in the Assembly to-night by a vote of 83 to 12, ST. GEORGE AND SHAKSPEARE, SET Banquet of the St. George Society at Delmonico’s Last Evening—The Cele- bration of Shakspeare’s Birthday— Speech by Consul Archibald—What the Washington Treaty Has Accom- plished—Great Enthusiasm and Loy- alty to England’s Queen. The eighty-seventh anniversary of St. George's Society was celebrated last night by a banquet at Delmonico’s, Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street. About two hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner, including the President of the Society, Mr. John G. Date, the Vice President, Mr. F, W. J. Hurst, Consul Archibald, the Presidents of St, Andrews and St. Patrick's societies: Colonel L, Morten Mont- gomery (London, England); Mr. Isaac H. | Bailey, of the New England Society; the Secretary of St. Andrews Society, Mr. Alexander Rhind and Peter Williams (Bank of England). The room was decorated with the fags of England, Ireland and America, and immediately im the centre of the room was a full length portrait of the Queen in her coronation robes. The proceed- ings were extremely enthusiastic, and the evening ‘was spent in reminiscences of “the sea-girt isle” and congratulations on the good time obtainable in the land the Englishmen had adopted as their home, Mr. DALE, in proposing the principal toast, “The Day, and All who Honor It,” referred to the con- dition of the society, and said that it wasits eighty- seventh anniversary, that it was in a flourishing condition, and that the permanent fund amounted to $30,500, which was safely invested. The charita- ble fund had enabled 117 persons to be assisted. The contingent fund had also been largely drawn upon to assist their distressed countrymen, not only English, but Irish. He urge all Englishmen in the city to jom the soctety, and if this was largely done, the injunction of the untry, that every KEnglistman should do his duty would be fulfilled. ‘The death of Dr. Vinton, Bishep of Indiana; James 'l. Tupiscott, a. R. Cater, Thomas Burley, Charles Best and Henry E. Sharpe wor referred to, and Mr. Dale concluded by quot- the lines on England by Bishop Cox. e toast was drank with all the honors, includ- the three English cheers. fe CHAIRMAN, in proposing “The Queen, God Bless Her,” said ‘that the personal characteristics of her Majesty shed a halo of virtues around the throne. The toast was drank with inusical honors ; the company, singing Ml Save the Queen,”’ were led by the Arion Glee Club, who during the evening greatly, promoted the harmony of the proceedings. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing “The President of the United States,” said that General Grant, though @ man of War, Was unquestionably a man ef peace, and was the originator of the Geneva irbitration, and with this toast he wished to add, “Success to the country of our adoption.’ This, with the toast, was drunk with loud applause, ‘The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the following toast, “Her Majesty’s Ministers and Representa- tives In the United States," read a letter from Sir Edward Thornton, regretting his inability te be present at the banquet; and in introducing Consul Archibald paid an eloquent testimony to the merits of that gentieman, Mr. ARCHIBALD, after expressing great regret at the absence of Sir Edward Thernton, on behalf of the hard Worked and ill paid public officers, of which he Was @ member, said that great harmony existe§ between Her Majesty’s Ministers and the representatives of tue United States as to the addendum of the toast—“Cement their divisions anc bind up the petty diterences’'— that those differences only existed asx to outside parties. Those lines were Shakspeare’s, and, tf Shakspeare Was not an American, born at Strat- ford, in Connectient, he certainly been an- nexed, (Langhter.) When ‘Shakspeare statue Was unveiled in (Central Park there was not & word said about Shakspeare being an Englishman, and he (the speaker) took a mourntul look at the statue, believing that Shakspeare was hencefo: an Atpertcan. In the course of his observations he said that, = although it was inconsistent with the rules of the Society would be — irregular in one _ filling official position to enter inte poiitical discussions, there was one subject on which he begged to say a few wor because itsvas cognate to the toast, and relate: to the Betneia ersonage whom the toast specially hovored, juded to the final settiement by eS Geneva ny under the Treaty of Washing- ag @jcontroversy more critical, more fraught with iinaed' nofalone to the peace of two great Buatard but to the best interests of ‘nv Jnlernational soptroversy of treaties have been more modern snes bapoae Few ‘thé ‘Treat of Washington.
