This is truly an auspicious result. The Recency, encouraged by the rpcent luccees of thotr followers in New York, made a j..no,m i-flnri. To havo revolutionized Albany, would have been a triumph worth toasting of, and they worked nam io ac nhsh it. But it vvasanunavailingsirug wlo.

But they "will find their way frnmj and not hatk lo thier hiding places," in the tall, wtien tne Old Fourth Ward will be good again for ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MA JORITY.

The city is stead fist in its Whig principles. We will give 400 majority in (lie lall. From the Albany Journal. THE LEGISLATURE-ITS LABORS AND RESULTS. The Legislature was in session 127 days. Three hundred and ninety Laws were enacted. A large number ol b. Is. most ot which were of or. important public nature, nassied by the House, but were strangled IB rr Senate. The session has been an eventful one. ....TbeHouso of Assembly represented the .' Jsfflnifments and were devoted to the inter iests ol a largo majority of the People. The ' "Senate reflected ihn views ol a minority ol ihe People, and were devoted to the inter oil of Mr Van Buren. This brnnch of the Government maintained on antagonist po eilion in referenco to the F.xecutive and Representative Departments. All thai there is of benign legislation, therefore, has heen extorted from o hoelilo Senate. Something has been effected for Ihe com tnon welfare; but much that was done for (he People by the Assembly, was either teiocted or smothered in thn benate. One of the first acts of tho Assembly was iha oasssgo of a bill restoring In the Banks Iha right to issue Small Bills. The Senate, after o blind, infatuaied resistance of ihe popular will for two years, was forced lo yi"!d its concurrence, and the bill became o law. That currency 'experiment' cost the People hundreds of thousands of dollars. The enormous compensation received by (he Clerks nf the Supreme Court and the Reeistersin Chniicery, has been curtailed For this, tho Whigs have labored ten yeari-: but while Ihe Recency were strong they would not allow us to dnrnnish I heir 'spoils.' The law passed la not whnt was domnnrierl, but will, it is believed, save nt least g50 000 annually to suiters in the higi;er Courts, Something has brrn done for Ihe cause ol Education. Thn law passed in reia. lion to Common School?, will in'use lift and vigor into the SvMnin. Tho course of Public Instruction, under iIip eri'igliten ed auspices nf an indefatigable Secretary of Slate, will be onward. Something, too, has been done lo guard nnd protect the Freedom anil Purity of th Elective rroneniee. in mis we rejoice most unfeignedly. The abuses, frauds and corruptions practised at the E ections were threatening to destroy this only safeguard fnr Republicanism. All is Inst when (he Ballot ceases to reflect the public senli merit. And this crisis, so fatal lo Freedom was rapidly approaching especially in our largo cities. J he Whig parly, ever mix ious to preservo the Purity of our Elec tions. has for some years urged Iho passage of a Registry Law, Tho Albany Regency. while they were profiling by fraudulent and corrupt practices, reiuseu io un any thing. But ihe evil has grown so rapidly that even they are appalled. J ho conse quence is that we havo obtained a law which will commence the work of Reform. Ita defects will be corrected by future Legislation ; and we may now look forward with grateful confidence for such whole nemo and salutary eiiordu as will EFFEC TUALLY PRESERVE THE PURITY OF OUR ELECTIONS. The great cause of Internal Improve ment stands still !

One witness said hethounht 5 per cent, was a very rcriMinable allowance; and being ashed to give his reasons, he Faid that other persons had received it; and then being called on by Ihe Court to give an instance, he said that Mr. W. M. Price received gG74 9fli, as his commission on the purchase of a sword and a lookini; glas ns a proton! for Iho kinpofSiam. The Court Ihonphl tine instance was oh good as a thousand for it would establish a precedeni. In one of the letters, read ns evidence on the part of thp government, written by Col. Reeside in 1G34. when he wos undor the examina of Ihe Commitlfe of Investigation, there was a passage that excited quite a lively movement in tho Court and audience "I hope," writes the gallant Land Admiral, "to get out of the hands nf this damned In. qnisitinn in a few daysthen I'll be in Now York, &c." Ai this the Court looked irravc Mr Southard smiled, end Mr. But- Fer turned up thn whiles of his eyes. Tho trial still proceeds, and will probably occu py severnl doys. Herald.

Il appears that the suspicions of some of Iho clerks were aroused by Ihe request nf Mr. Campbell that they would sign blank re ceipta. Copies of these vouches were pro cured from Washington, and a material discrepancy was found to exist between their exhibit and the sums actually received from I he postmaster by his subordinates, besides which each of the clcrki allege Unit Mr. Campbell lias unequivocally confessed to I hem that the facia were precisely as charged. Important and valuaule Discovery. We learn that while Mr. William Trainer, of Marcus Hook, io this county, was dig ging on the side of a hill near his dwelling, he fortunately struck upnn a body of clay of a kind entirely unknown heretofore either in this country or in Europe. Mr. Trainer has presented specimens of this clay lo several of the most eminent chem ists of Philodelpliia, among whom am Professor Hare, of the University, Mr. J. S. Warner, and Mr. Rogers, the State Geologist. Mr. Hare pronounced it Ihn purest porcelain earth ho had yet seen. Wo call Ihe attention of geologists mid monufoctnrers lo this important diccovery, and would request them to call on Mr. Trainer, who will bo pleased ol oil limes to seulhrm, and to give such information as they desire.

Most of these Societies enjoy lie undivi detl confidence ol the public, and are pro diic'.tve of unqualified good. All of them, no doubt, nun at coming up to thai chnr r.clcr, anil am ns devoutly intended as tin most unexceptionable among them ; but upon ihe practical utility and real efficacy for good of some of i hem. public opinion. even among nur most rcliginiifly devoted citizens, is greatly and irreconcilably divided. S"Vernl of ihn reports which have been made public during Iho week are highly interest ing, and would no doubt be highly acceptable lo a majority of Ihe public; but thev ore generally of considerable length, and contain much that would not be veiy interesting to those not intimately connec ted with the societies. Among Iho more generally popular of these societies, tho American Bible Society the American Sunday School Society, Ihe New York Colonization Society, and the American Tract Society havo held their meetings. From the report of the first named it appears that its rcceip'e during Ihe yea were 95.126 CC, and its expenditures $98,205 41. During the post year the issues were 134 937 oipies, and the total number 2 5110 235. These copies wcro in seventeen different languages.

The number of teachers is 1 156 males and 1 150 females total 2336. Tho number both nf scholars and teachers is somewhat less than it was last year. The Tract Society, as appears by their report, lion, during the year, issued 944 publicaiinns.

The receipts during th year were 131,295 40, of which C55 852 8I were donations. There has been paid over (or distribution in foreign countries 530 000. The operations oftho society liave been mnre extensive Ihe past year than in any former ones, nnd it is the intention lo push them still further.
