Tlae Convention-Pro and Con.
We have at several times through the last two
years set before our readers some [.oition of the
reasons which- have implied as to advocate the
calling of a Convention to reform oar Stet? Consti?
tution. A? we have not published much on the
other side, we propose now to subtly The omission
in part by giving place to the lead'-r in yesterday's
Courier Enquirer, which paper is, aft>-r the
Albany Argus, the leading journal in hostility to
a Constitutional Convention. The Argus is the
more adroit, the Courier the more manly, in its
opposition.
From Ott Courier ami Enquirer of ye*U rJnu.
State CosvaSTlOir?The passage of a Mil through the
Assembly, calling a Convention of:.'.- : ? , I I thl - Stale
not to ajtcr ihe existing Constitution, hut to rc-mod-l oor
governmctt?Is otie of thos- revolutionary mca-ures which
mark tne age in which we live. Its history is briefly a?
follows:
Early In the seaslon, the ultra radical members of the
Wills Party, foresaw that if Iber would unite with the
Anil- Basale? and Barn-burners, Fourierites and Abolition?
ists, they wonld be enabled to command a majority Iu the
Assembly; and through that m jority, call a convention
and trample under foot otir present wnservatlve Constitu?
tion. The mttter was brottght be/on ?M Whig party of the
Assembly, and In an evil hour determined upon as a Wlilg
measure. Since that time the conservative portion of "-:r
frienda have discovered their erior: but having :
themselves to the minority of the Loco-Foco party to vote
for a Convention, they have redeemed that pi dge. and now
wonld be well pleased to see the hill defeated i.-i tfo- tv-; .-.to.
or if passed into a law, the Convention rejected by the ; ??<
pie. That It will be so rejected, and that many ? I the verj
men who voted fir thy hill in the Assembly will oppose a
Convention nt the Polls, we do not entertalu a doubt. The
truth is, and hus been apparent to the reflecting men ol
both parties, that this Is a revolutionary measure. The ra?
dical Wh gs, tht! AboUUonlsts, Barn-burnei sand Antl-Rent
erg, who alone dashe a Convention, now that the bill has
pa'sed the HOOSe, openly avow their Intention to prove thai
they are far moreMtmocratic th in the Loco-Foco party 1
To demonstrate this, they Intend to muke the Chan* all ir,
Judges of the Supreme Court, and Indeed every |utl la]
officer In the State,elective by the people! Can any rea?
sonable man Imagine a greater evil th u such a provision in
our Constitution would email upon the State? or can any
man caning himself a wing vote in favor of a Convention,
the avowd object of which i* to destroy evi ry vestige til
republl'-.tnlsin which stii! pertain* to our Institutions?
What say the Whigs of this clt) to this proceeding?
We ask not svhat the antl-renu rs, abolitionists an 1 Fourl
erlies think, becauite it Is their measure, advocated by their
organ, und intended to carry out their infamous doctrines ;
but what say the Whigs to the proceeding? what do they
think of making the Vice Chancellor and .In Ige* . i tlil? i uy
elective? Can radicalism go farther than tills ? Isit;>?
tlble for demagogues to I mag! on any thing more destructive
to the administration of the civil or criminal law than
would bo the election of .i Jarltetary by su<:li a population
aa inhabit this city ? Tit-- Tribune thinks there Is no doubt
that tho people will vote In favor of n Convention. By the
people, It dutlbtie** mentis the aboliMotti-te, anii-rentrrs.
Fourierites. and radical Whig] who aim to be more tfcm -
rratic than the r.oco-i'ooos, und wh . con-tntitly harp iij-ui
the advantages which that party enjoy !>.v bearing the
name of Oerrvx-raU. IkMblleai all these factions, led ? n b)
the demagogues who ever profess their love for tho dew
peoplo and who are desirous of Improving their breed bj
the Importation of foreigner* to cross the blood ;?beyond
all doubt auch men will >-ote for the revolutionary Conven?
tion for which ihu Whig party has made Itself responsible;
but not no with the Conservative Whigs and Democrats ol
the City and Country: They will rails us one mau against
this iii-timed. uncaUed-for, and revolutionary tnovemeni;
and ws now predict that It will fall even in this city, where
of aU other places, it siinni.i Und most favor, because here,
thousands of voters who have every thing t" gala and no
thlnn to lose by the destrnctlOTI of that stabUI y an I Ind -
pendenee on the part of the Ju llclary, which i-i calculated
and Intended to give safely to life und security to property.
Bnt wo still entertain the hope that the Senate trill not
yield to the objectionable bill widen bas passi I the House
of Assembly by the union of nil the elements ol rad caUsm
In that body, and if so. all will be well, if on the contrary,
the Senate should not dare to resisi this radical procee ling,
than must we look to the goo.'. >etts<: of the people them?
selves, to crush it as one which Is Intended to destroy eve?
ry remaining vestige of our Republicanism, and hurl us .it
one plunge Into the depths of tho most Irresponsible recklt -s
Denwrruejy. Tho Representatives of the Whig Party In the
Assembly, will booh learn that they have acted without the
authority, und against the wishes, the feelings, and the prin?
ciples of their constituent*.
?There : our readers have a fair specimen of the
appeals?arguments, if you can eay it?by which a
Convention is opposed. We hope they will be
widely read und allowed their legitimate influence
on the public mind.
True, we do not see what ' Fourierism' (ili.it
ever-haunting spectre of the Courier) can have to
do with a Constitutional Convention, nor do we
know how 'Abolition,' if the reference be to
Slavery in other States, can mtxldle iu this mailer:
though if there be any vestiges ol Slav ery remaining
in our State we trust they will be extirpated. As to
* Democracy,'so far ns the name is regarded, we
care nothing for it nnd have never taken any pains
to acquire it. Whatever is right, just und equal, we
desire to uphold ; iT tlint is culled Democratic, very
well; if Federal or ' British Whig,' just <is well.
The name is nothing to us. As to the i lection of
all Judicial officers by a popular vote, the charge
of the Courier is utterly groundless. Whal a Con?
vention mny do in the premises, we have of course
no means of knowing ; but the charge against the
friends of n Convention that "they intend" any
such thing is false. And as to u Convention being
" Revolutionary," we do not know how a moditi
cation of the existing form of Government can Il?
legal nnd peuceful if that be not which, originating
in peaceful popular agitation, receives the sanction
of the Legislature and Governor, and then that ol
a direct vote of the People. The revision is then
to be made by Delegates, chosen expressly t"r iln.
purpose by the People, and is finally to be ratified
by a popular majority of the legal voters. If this ii
Dorrism set us down Dorrites,
It may possibly be, as the Courier intimates, that
the People will vole dow n the Cull of a Conven?
tion. If so, we shall patiently submit. i?ti! we do
earnestly desire certain vital eh tnges in our Org mic
Law, which may bo granted without prejudice to
any right or danger lo any institution of the State.
Among these we may instance,
1. The abolition of the Property Qualification
for Suffrage now exacted of a portion of the citi?
zens of our State.
2. A division of the State into thiity-two Sena?
torial and One Hundred and twenty-eight Assem?
bly Districts, each electing one Member.
3. A State Election on alternate years only, or
biennially, when Members of ConsjrevD, Governor;
Assembly are to be chosen; Senators and Electors
of President at every second Election;
4. Such a Reform of our judicial System as will
secure more prompt decision of luw-suits and at
less cost than now.?On this point we are ready to
be guided, to a great extent, by able and experienci d
Jurists; but we believe there will be a very general
concurrence in the abolition of our present anoma?
lous Csnrt of Errors and the creation of a High
Court of Appeals composed of three or five ol the
ablest veteran Jurists of the State. The existence
and constitution of the Court of Chancery will also
be earnestly considered.
5. The Diminution ot Executive Patronage and
the selection ol County Officers (Judicial, peihiai .-,
excepted) by the People of the sevei I Qounlies,
either directly or by their Boards ol Supervisor*.
?These are some of the grounds ott which we
have staadily advocated the call of aConstituttonal
Convention. We cannot hope that aJJ the amend
ments we desire and no others will be made, but
we have p. most undstubling conviction that th--''o:i
stitution will be improved by the action u-on it of
a Convention, originating with and rauriedl'v the
People. Why should we doubt it ?
fjr>- The Select Committee on the Co.xvexti ?%
Bim. consists of the following Senator?, Messrs
BoCKKE, LoTT, BaKKMV.x, VAXXSY, SBXaUf.VN,
Bi'rnha.m, Lester, PtrrxAM?-the last only Wb g
Common decency would have required of ti.r
Lieut. Governor the selection of Mr. Folsom from
this District. As it is, a party which was a dec.it d
minority of the votes cast at the last State Election
was seven-eighths ol the Committee on this most
important subject. We count Messrs. 13ock.ee,
* Varney, Sherman, Lester and Putnam friends of
Constitutional Reform, though we have doubts of
the chairman.

the State will soon recall him t? her Councils.?
Col. Young repliesm a letter of considerable length,
decided ability and characteristic plainness of

that he accepted his late post soieiy with a view to
the stoppage of the debt-contracting policy of Inter?

that was secured, he -tares that he had been

by some two yt irs a^o. to have obstructed the plundering
propensities of legislation. But If Ii was morally and coti
itnudonaliy tight, as I believe It to have been, to prote t
tbe public property comm tted to my keeping, I do not
(eel the need of any other apology. I was threatened with
removal;.: the time; but the execution of the threat vs

I ought not to censure the leaders of this b:c!hc-::o'.d for
exercising their power: for if I had the ability I would rt

as much as f detest theirs, there can never be, as there
never has been, any political communion between as.?
Through their agency the Republican i arty has heretofore
been several times overthrown j and the symptoms of
another like catastriiphe seem to ine to be now visible ?
They are afral-t to trust the people with a Convention, and

longer trust them. * *

The Zoll Verein Treaty
The " Deutsche Schnellpost" of th" 23d inst. has
the following letter from a correspondent in Ger
many, giving some new views of the Treaty ques
sion. We need hardly Bay that we do not endorse
the writer*.- recommendations, but we thank him
for his additional demonstrations of the utter im?
policy of whit ?'<? called Reciprocity Treaties.
Here, it seems, we have been bargaining (through
jur Embassador) to let in the products of tho Zoll
Verein States at half the duty which we continue
to charge on the products of other German States
which do not charge and have not charged hall so
much duty on our products ns the Zoll \"?-r?-? :i
Stater! Is n>d this beautiful Reciprocity 1 The
Treaty was most Junlair and unequal at any rate,
but the fundamental wrong lies in making Com?
mercial Treaties at all. Let us trade with all no?
tion-alike, charging whai we see (it on Imports
and leaving others at liberty to do the same. We
can make nothing by dickering for ".-p'-cial pri?
vileges'*

To day I will furnish you with a new proof lhal
my views ! so often expressed on ihe pohev of
Prussia are correct. 1 have discovered a species of
treachery against Mr. If'heotun, (the American
Enibassad?r in Prussia) the particulars of winch
will no doubt interest you and your readers Mr.
Wheaton demanded an extension of the time stipu?
lated lor the treaty with the "Zollverein," to
which lie received, as the President's Message
state--, a negative answer. But ui the same time
the Prussian government instructed Mr. snimiih?
its Consul in New-York and acting Charge
d'Allatres?to await the then expected message of
the President^ and in case it should speak favora?
bly on the Treaty, to deliver 10 the Secretary of
Slab- a diplomatic note that he was provided with,
md whose tenor was, that Prussia not only ace; ti?
ed to the prolongation, but also thai the Prussian
government would undertake to obtain ihe const nl
of the different ?'e-;nan States forming ihe Zollve?
rein Tins manoeuvre, however, was Iben conceal?
ed from Mr. Wheaton, as it is stilL Thus the Ame?
rican Embassndor continued reporting that he c> :'..l
not succeed in obtaining an extension of time, whilst
in fact it was granted long before. What el.-r can
such dealing be termed than a " Prussian trick V
li m ottrvoe. d h.?m dm. P.veilh ,.t T, lor oo.l ?'.
relary Calhoun intimated to Baron con Gerolt thai
the Senate would take up 'he treaii and ratify the
same before the 4th of .March ; but I tni-t the Sen?
ate will have done no such thing. Ii is certain
that by this trick it was thought to secure those
States which do noi yet belong to the Zollverein?
not less certain is the fact, thai Prussia tries haul to
force the Hanseatic Cities fand Hanover into the
Zollverein. To compass this end, Piussiawill iir-e
every means, and intends using the Americunswith
this Treaty as themoukej used thereat in ihe fa?
ble. Accordingly, the Treaty contains the condi?
tion thai the advantages derived from u arc ex< lu
ttpe/yto be accorded to Ihe Zollverein.
Now, without taking hers iiito consideration that
the treaties already concluded iviih other Govern?
ments would not allow tins concession, 1 would
?*k.iiii right that the U. S. Government should
do it !
i ue duty on American produce.- in the Hansc
stic cities amounts to i no? in Hanover about
lull, and in Mecklenburg but ,j ol the Zollven in
duty, whilst their, products, according to the Zoll?
verein Treaty, would pay in the United Slates
30 0-0 mure tuanAhose ol the Zollverein, which
latter, even with the stipulated reduction, levies
>iill a duty 2^0-0 higher than Mecklenburg,
1 am of opinion, that the German citizens in the
United Stuies ought lb use all their influence th it
no Treaty be ratified by ihe Senate with the Zoll?
verein unless it provides?That ull German States
nut hdonging.jto the ZoUvericn may participate in
the advantages granted to the Zollverein an tongas
their Tariff apes not exceed that of the Zollverein.,
and that moreover, ihe Hanscatic Cities remain
frtt'portiy with free access to American ships us
heretofore.
The Germans in the United States may be as.
sured that such a course would comport with their
interest?because if Prussia succeeds in bullying
the Hansealic Cities int? Z?llverein, tlu ir moral
independence would cease?and in a short nine we
would si e restriction? in the freedom of emigration
emanating from Berlin in order to embarrass u ?
intellectual communication between Germany and
the United Sin e?.
As n a h as ! Jo wish to see the Unity of Gyr
many, this would still be in the spirit of Russian
principles; shoul I Prussia unite alt Germany (with
the exception of Austria*) under the cloak of irie
Zollverein?and to the German Citizens in the
United States such a thought cannot be tolerable.
As for myself, I would shua no sacrifice could I
call into existence a Treaty between the United
States and Germany; bui it must be c:u- lhal
unites aad not divides Germany. The German
Press m America might do a great deal in this
matter, by trying; to render unpopular any Treaty
that does not embrace all Germany-?all the ^t.ii-'s
thai wished to participate. I have already shown
before how easily this could be done.
This Treaty should farther t-upHUte, that the
duty on American Goods shall no; be subject ?
different.>?l charges (dutv) iu the different Germ in
potts?and that all parts from Holland to Russia
come under this denomination? which would
equalize the duty on American Goods throughout
the S'ates. By this method alcne we Americans
would a: once" attain our proper position toward
Germany. Any Slate of Germany could share iu
it, if desirable ; k would be oj lional. A high Prus
?anofficer. With whom 1 conferred on the subject;
told me y?4'You are quite right; bnt in this way
we should fu! to induce the Flanseattc Cities tis
loin us." To this 1 relied, that in my estimation
this would be the worst tluug for the Amet can
trade with Germany. His answer was a diplo?

Tremendous Fire t-Boxvery Theatre burnt
for the Fourth Time:
j A few minutes after six o'clock, lost evening, a
fire broke cut in the carpenter's room attached to |
the Bowery The-tr-, which instantly communi !
: cited to the Theatre itself, and ;r. three quarters of ;
! an hour that fine edific was a complete ruin, !
with nothing bat th* hign. walls and the massive |
; columns standing. The inside of the building? j
i scenery, furniture, wardrobe, machinery, ice. ice. >
' was ea'ireiy destroyed, and seven! ui the perform
en, we understand, lost private druses and proper- |
ties to considerable amounts. TtV rve rung's per?
formances were to have b-en for the benefit of Mr.
Davenport, and the actors and actresses were all .
in the building, jus: commencing ;?> dress for th- ;
duties of th** night. We are happy to s'.ate that, so
far as could be ascertained by th?* .-tnetest enquiry ?
possible under the circumstances, every person ;n '
the Theatre escaped in safety, although several of j
them with narrow ri-ksol life and limb.
The scene in front, a: the bight of the conflagra- !
don, was magnifiirra?y fearful and sublime. The
Bowery, which is the broadest thoroughfare in the
city, w.is densely packed with a crowd extending on
either side of the Theatre for a great distance, and
numbering from fiffen to twenty thousand, while
the ro.;fs of the arijoininz buildings, ilinminated
with an intense glare of n-d li?h:, were literally
covered down to the very eaves, with spectf.t"rs.
C'n the roofs adjoining and in the immediate vicini?
ty of the Theatre hundred.- of firemen were busy
performing their dauntless and heroic deed; and I
seeming to be absolutely insensible as well as im- i
pervious to the scorching he.t of the flames or the j
: danger of their position. As the 'limes burst out at j
' the front windows and wreathed around the entabla- i
lure resting on the lofty columns, the Siloon, with
its rows of d-canters, pictures, sofas, ice. was
splendily illaminated, and presented a magnificent
appearance. The tky glowed iike a red-hot dome
of iron, and efut broad reflection? of iurid ?zht all
ovr the city, while the air sparkled like a st.ir
ghower with the burning cinders, which flew in
every direction, and were many of them carried by
the tire-bree/H, which immediately sprung up, flying i
ouer the ri.oi's as far as Broadway.
In the .-treet below an indescribable tumult
roared an 1 raged on every side. At first ihe peo?
ple rushed lo the doors, burst them in and corn
pli lely jammed up the lobbies?why, no one
thought or could tell. The firemen shouted to them
to com? back, and endeavored to introduce their
hose over the heads of th^ crowd, to see what could
be done within?but they here effected little. The j
crowd obstinately maintained their places until the
heavy entablature and tympanum?now all in bright
Harm?f< I! to the ground, breaking into fiery ir.ig
mentg and enclosing the-m with a wall of lire iu
front while the burning theatre itself was at their
backs! Thi, state of things immediately wanned
op their imaginations, und a general nish (happily
successful) through the feilen and burning mass to
the street ensued, amid the deafening shouts of the
multitude.
Th" roof now g ive way, and the tall flag-starTs
on tlie building .-truck to th" red fl.ig < f the < '"tiila
gr:tion, and all (ell in with a stunning crash. The
fire ti.i ii sought the neighboring buildings,on either
?ide, and the following were more or less injured,
before the progress of the fUmea was arrested ;

the particulars a'soui svhlch could not be learned.
In the Theatre nothing w?s saved, and we learn
that there was no insurance on any part of the pro?
perty or building, h is believed that Mr. Hainbliu
had no interest in the Theatre, it having passed, by
a recent decree in Chancery, into the hands of
James II. Whiting, Esq.? but the particular nature
ol the trust is unknown to us. VVe are informed,
also, that the ground cannot, according to the
terms of the |e...-e, again he occupied for the pur
pnse of erecting a Theatre.
This is the fourth time the Bowery Theatre has
been burnt. Fir:-', in IS2S, when it t.iok lire al ool
the same time in the eveuing, (<5 o'clock) and was
owned by Mr. l lamblia, who was partially insured.
So vigorous were that gentleman's-measures that
in 00 days the Theatie was n 1 ml; and in full ope?
ration. It again burnt down, we beheve, in ]?<{?;>?
was rebuilt, and again destroyed in the winter of
1837-8?the last two tunes without insurance.
We understand thai Mr. Ham1 hn has just com?
pleted his arrangements for building a new Theatre
on an extensive and costly >cule, on Broadway,
adjoining the Tabernacle?the lot purchased and
paid for, the plan agreed upon, and all othi r
preliminaries settled. To avoid the delay und dif?
ficulty in getting the stock taken, Mr II means to
issue'tickets to purchasers, in sums of $100 t?$50O,
until he lias in this way raised sufficient to'gu uu
with the enterprize.
We hope, now that the Bowery Theatre is again
burned down without the slightest possibility of
being rebuilt, that Canal-street will be imme?
diately extended to the Ka?t River, or ;-.t least
to the Bowery or East Broadway. The exten?
sion id" this street has long been contemplated, and
wilhi ut it the Kasiern section of the City can
never have easy access to Broadway or tlie North
River. Measures ought to be taken to carry out
this desirable improvement forthwith.

The Albany Brldffe ftueitlon.
Tiot. April 2*. 1845.
To : he &lit r 0/ Tribu < .
Seme time ago ycc jus: ir.draated th*: ? "ridge icro<j
the Hudson at Albany wrai;d not be a seroci ! Jury -o ;
Troy, a: which some of tie Tro;?ns were In bigh dudgeon. |
and the '? Waif" abuse" yon after tie fasbion of th? Cour?
ier arid Enquirer.
I hop* you are not so anrry as to f.'rget j our accustomc!
:x?sr.iality and deny tne UM use of year columns or; th.s ;
vexed .uestlon of a Br?st. The Troiass are very eens>
tive on this subject, because they consider it a matter of
life an 2 c:ea:h. ?r.d canr.o: unierjtand bow yea should
treat it so iichily. You spoke of it as a merely local .-,3ts- ;
?on. affeciing only Troy and Albany.
The Albanians do r.o: apply for a Bridge on this ground. ,
They ask for one on the croor.d of public utility. Taey
sis; that the claims of the traveling puM!c demand one?
that one !s nee-led :o accommodate the commercial public.
?that one is now i-idisrensabie to the increasing bnsmess
of the West with Boston and N*w-York. The Albanians
are we;: aware :hat 1; Is by irgrestatg the subjec: with
s-rr.e public importance tha: it is en-tied to the slightest
consideration of the Legislature.
Does the public i'iterest rejui.-e a Br: !ge a: Albany ?
And first, is one ni eded for the safety and ecarvenl ,ii
of travelers - The Albanians assert it. Tr.ey say it is
dangerous crowing the K>er in ferry b^a:.- at all t!me?,
and particularly so a* ?ome ssasoa? of tie year. Bat they
cannot collect :oge:'ier accidents enough ia the last Bfty 1
years to msie a chapter of four verses. Were not more
livos : -.?: by :'ie falling of f.eir ?r.Jge icr s.- baslu than
ha?e been lost on all the ferries between Troy and Jersey
City since Hendrlck Hud-on saiied np the River? Tbe
truth !s. that 1: Is as sv'e to cress on a fer-y-boa: a* a
bridge. Tbere Isabrilge at Troy and a ferry a: Trey,
an.! I am sail in stiting that r.!nc-:en:hs of a'.! the stages
an! carrhges of all men on foot or on horseback, cross on
the ferry-b ists in preftrenrc to the bridge. Do nota!:..o?t
a!! persons passing to and from New-York and llobokcn.
.Terser City. State:: Is'ar.d. Brooklyn and Wllliam-burgh.
cross ferries? i'o no; all persons crossing the Hudson at
any point below Troy cross on fsirry-boats Do net all
;ravc!ers f.-em Boston to New-York by Providence cross a
ferry - And who eve.-heard of an accident at the Provj.
dence ferry? Dj not ai! travelers over the Lo:>g Island
routs cross In bo.tt? from Brooklyn to New-York ? Has
any ar-cldent happened to them on that ferry ? Do no; all
travelers from New-York to Washington ore?, two ferries
on their way ? Who ever hear! of accidents a; the fer?
ries ? The danger is on land, from running oil the track or
from the contact of meeting train;. Ferry-boats arc much
safer than railroads cars.
But two or three days in tiie spring, when the ice s
breaking up. the river at Albany is impassable. Granted.
Hut at the same Kason of the j car there is but !lt;> travel
an.l few persons arc thereby delayed orir.fared in their bu?
siness. At this season of the year, too, highways an ! rail?
roads are frequently obstructed, and bridges are sssept
away by storms and floods! A bridge wonld not provide
against ail contingency of Interruption. And then, in the
lieft of season*, a schooner mit.'..: get e itaagled in a draw
an>! cause more delay and io-s of time than the breaking
up of the River In the spring. Only two or three accident
ever happened at Albany from cro-sin,; the ire, and these
happened to those wh . were foo! hardy enough to attempt
to cross in the nigh: upon b ose masses of ice. Cea. ral
Scott or.ee slipped up and broke the hri.ige of his n?se lo?
calise be could not content himself fur a few bouts with
democratic ouarters In Greenbush, but mu?t needs peril
life and limb in the night in search ol the Insurious faro and
downy beds of Congress Hall.
Is a bridge ncrc?ury to accommodate the businc s com
inanity in the transmission of freight?
Nearly h!! the produce of the great West Is bronght to
tbe !lHo?on through the Cam". Thed i .t of the Western
Rail R. at! Is on the K.ist side of the River. Caaal boats
can loud and unload as well at the depot as in Albany, on
or.e ?:.!c of the ltivtr as wil! as the other. I"reicht coming
down the Canal Intended fur the Eastern marke:, whether
it enters the River at Troy or Albany, is most conveniently
taken to the depot and unladen there. Merchandize from
the East; too. Is taken on hoard tho Canal boats with less
trouble and expense at the depot. What 'teed of a hri ;gc
then ?
If it '..c the Intention of the Western Rail Road Compa?
ny, in ca?c a bridge be built, to remove their depot to Al?
bany, I gram that the Pier Company and dock owners of
tint city wonld he great gainer.-, put I deny tin*, the public
would beat all benefited. It would be levying i tax upon
the ; eople of the North an.l Wi -t for the siodu! advantage
of Albany capitalists. The tolls of one mile of '.he Canal
aitxmly ?.. Iron th? Vook-l.. ..( lh? aitmoiu of W'.-ny. Tt
will be quite too liberal in the Legislature to authorize a
bridge in order to make their monopoly itill more profit?
able.
ft Is a habit of the Albanians to talk of the eiremUoul
route by Troy to SchCDCCtady, as If It really took more
time snd was uiortf expensive going through Troy than
Albany. The public may rest assured that at whatever
hcur a Kail RoaJ train shall leave Schenectady for the
North or West, no time or money will be Ion by go.ng
throtiih Troy. What more can the public Rsk ?
Having so fur spoken of the arguments la favor of a
bridge, iu my next, with your Icavv, t will give some rea?
sons why one should rot tic built. Yours, b.c. .I.
Another Steumhonl Accident,
At twenty minutes past I yesterday morning, ihe
?teamer Umpire, on her way down, ran Intotbelong ;r -:
19th street, about two rods from the end. A heavy tog
came off from the city, as she ttetirei! the pier, rer.deriug
it, fot the moment; excessively dark : and !t Is said that tbe
pilot thought he lud pissed the Nineteenth strc. t pier.
Finding his error, too late, he only succeeded in giving the
wheels two backward revolutions before the boat struck
with a tremendous crash?breaking the wharf-timbers
(eighteen inch.s ?o,uarc, and perfectly souuti) short off, and
plowing her nose into the solid gravel ;oer about twenty
feet. No one was hurt, although the -cct.e of confusion on
board was, for a moment, mo.: dlsirc ?ing. The Knicker?
bocker, which was pass'ng at the time the Empire struck,
came to her aj.sl-ta.tiec and took o:T tho?e of the passengers
who chose. About eight o'c'oek the A!tnny, on her way
up. stopped and towed the Emnlre off, when she procees'.cd
to her berth, foot of Barclay-street wlih s..me severe ia
iiuies, of coarse, about her b.?w, but has-itig escaped, all

supply the Farmer's table with lighter nnd mci?

Agriculture, embracing those which, by their rost
or the language in which they are written, would
otherwise seem beyond the reach of nearly iB
American Farmers. In this way we shall gin;
tor two or three dollars the choicest Europtai
treatises and researches in Agriculture, cost traten
?mies as much in the original editions, not etsLV
obtained at any price, and virtually out of the reich
of men who live by following the plow. In the
Fanner's Library they will be accompanied ir
notes from the F.ditor. explaining what may be els
-cute to American renders, or calculated to mi*,
'e.ul the beginner in Farming, owing to diflmacts
of Soil, Climate, Arc. The works published in
the Library will torm a complete series, explor?
ing nnd exhibiting the whole lield of Natural
Science, an 1 developing the rich treasures which
Chemistry, (leology, and Mechanics have yielded
and nny yield to lighten the. labors and swell tat
h trvests of the intelligent husbandman. The work
will be so arrange, that the Fanners' Library nay
lie bound up by itself, forming a mammoth voImk

not prove the best as well as the amplest and mot

want of industry or devotion m the Editor. The %
low and definite rate of Postage chargeable on *
such a periodical .liier the 1st oi July?say six I?
