We are having the raost lovely Spring Weather, #
honey au? klea, almond, peach and cherry trees
arc coming into blossem, and the leaf buds are
swelling visibly in elms and Imrae cbeeuata.?
Thia unusual clemency of the season has call'" 1
fcrth various commer,t*ries, and the neis/spapers
?ie with one another in their histories of mud
Winters, and the Springs -which hare followed
|?.?sn-some citing the years when Winter, having
pat off his visit until the end of January, made up
for his tardiness, by staying with his cort-geo
snow and frost, until J-ue, blighting ail the fruit,
raining the harvests, sod produ-ing terrible fam
incs, from aJI of which they infer, that 'one a wal?
low does not make a summer, and that we may
probably pay dearly for the blue skies and bright
sunshine so unexpectedly enjoyed, others are
counting up the years, "few, and far between,
however, whet, the gruff, old Norseman has for
gotten to honor the south of Kurupe with oven s
passing nod, leaving flower, fruit and grain to bud
and ripen at pleasure?a favor which they eeem
to have acknowledged, in every caae, by harvests
of unuaual abundance ; and, aa it appears that the
skins of oniona have been this year exceedingly
tender, (sure prophecy of an open winter !) these
consoling optimists invite us to enjoy M the goods
the gods do send us," without fear of what the
next three months may briDg us.
Meantime the debatea on the Report of the
CommittumoJ' Parliamentary Safely have called
forth exceedingly eloquent discourses from the
chiefs of the various fractions of the AaseuiMy,
M M Thiers, Bern er, Cbangarnier, and Cavaig
nac , and also from Lamartine, who stands alone,
takes his own view of things through his poet
statesman-spectacles, agreea partly with every?
body, vhedly with noborly, and votes sometimes
with one party, sometimes with another, some?
times not at all, according to the inspirations of
bis individual conscience.
At the close of these debates, in the course of
Which each faction of the reactionary party has
been compelled, in turn, to lay aside its mask,
and avow its plotting* against the Republic, the
resolution of M. Samte Heuve, which declared
that the Assembly "blamed" the Ministry, and
that the (Joverument " had not ita confidence,"
was passed by a large majority, but this majority,
aa well as the minority of Ml votes which reject?
ed the amendment, is merely a momentary coali?
tion of irreconcileable coteries; Legitimists,
Orlcanists, and Imperialists, have spoken out
openly at last, and the soi-dtsanl " party of order,"
?elf convicted of conspiracies against the Constitu?
tion, and of revolutionary intentiona which only
their impotence, and the jealousy of their rivals,
have prevented from being earned out into act,
is now broken up into fractions, each of which has
confessed its relative weakness ss compared with
the Republican party, the real friends of Order
and of Progress, by appealing to the Constitution
against the aggressions of its rivals.
The attitude of the Left has been admirable
throughout this struggle; the dispute being simp?
ly a quarrel of rival factions, all of whom are equal?
ly in the wrong?these having sinned against cer?
tain provisions of tbo Constitution, those against
certain others, and all against the Nation?it is
evident that the Republicans had no motive for
taking aides with either party; and as any move?
ment on their part would nave immediately united
all the others against them, their wisest course
was evidently to keep perfectly still, afford their
adversaries no chance of changing their ground,
and of thus giving a new turn to the affair?a mode
of getting out of the ditticulty which* they ho.v..
tried their utmost to compass, but in vain.
The Left has therefore taken no part in the
discussion, but the resolution of M. Sainte Heuve,
making no mention of Changaruier's dismissal, a
?ilence which was equivalent to the abandonment,
on the part of the Assembly, of its projects in fa
Tor of a functionary exceedingly odioua t the
?hades of the Republican party, the Left i >t.'.l
for the reaolution, thus mateing all its opponents
at once; and proving to the three reaeti'jnary
fractions of the Aaaembly that the weight akf ts
vote will suffice, in future, to tarn the acale.*l The
journals of the ancient majority all acknowjedzi-!
that the Hepublican party has thus, throuLfn the
divisions ot its opponents, regained the mastery
within the walls of the Assembly; and groat is
their anger and vexation at finding that tin* II'
publicans, who have taken no part m the -lifarrel,
are the aole gainers thereby.
The To. ice are makim; descents in every direc
tiou. and have already arrested sixty individuals
supposed to be implicated in a Socialist plot,
which was to have embraced all France in its ter?
rible meshea. A written i'reamble and Constitu?
tion found in one of the innumerable Pr.risian

peeping, is said to have revealed, or rather fore?
shadowed, the existence of a terrible BociallSTOon

Tbe completion of the ct/s ouvn, re, locat jd iu
the upper part of the r?t Rochechuart, so long de?
layed for want of funds, is now proceeding rapid
a. One of the live buildings, w hich will compose
e establishment, is nearly completed , the rout?
ing of the rooms commenced a few days ago, and
the tenants aro to enter on the l.'th of May. This
portion of the edilird'consists of tour stories, on
?ach of which are double rows of rooms, each row
looking out both on the street and on the corri?
dors, which are wide, and lighted and ventilatod
Thy means of the skylight, which forma tho roof.
The staircases also are wide and very easy of as?
cent. The three lower tloora are divided into ooiu
partiuenU of two ami three rooms, each haviua it*
own cooking stove and its own entry. The upper
floor consists of single rooms only, and has no
chimneys, and being intended for " unmarried
seen," those unfortunate social pariahs whoso
manifold grievances are so feelingly act forth by
Putuh, and who are supposed to be able to sub
aiat on the very smallest modicum of air, dec. and
never on any occasion to need a tire in their room
This portion of the building will accommodate
about io families, (beside the pariahs,) and the
apartments will rent st prices varying with tlierr
sue and advantages, but all much cheaper thau
the rents usually psue bj the poor.
The whole establishment, when completed, will
sscooiumodate MM families, and will contain nur
aeries, schools, a library, baths, wash honse, dry?
ing copboarda and irouing roosna . to all of which
tbe tenants will have access gratis. There will be
?garden between the various buildings which com
pose the establishment. it will be planted with
trees, and form the pleasant promenades of which
tbe French are ao load. A auperinteudant, and a
body of subordinate functionaries will have charge
of the pi a -e and keep things in order
Several of the journals have lately given an ac
eoaatof the enormous population 0: ruts, black,
white and gray, that are said to till the cellars of
the Tuiieries, the gray onea beiug the result of
the nonierous intermarriages that have auc ceded,
of late, to the tierce hostility formerly existing be?
tween the oriktii.a. rival 1 *< <?*, and these animals
are stated to have grown bj bold, and to have late?
ly made such formidable erupt'ons into the neigh?
boring houses of the ras de Ricoh, that the inha?
bitants were obliged to send for the Cnief ot ti e
City Ratcatchers, who forthwith mustered his
forces, set his traps, and carried off the same
night -;.o tails to the Hotel de Ville. alt of which
were duly paid for, in accordance with the civic
regulations of the good City of Paria.
But the inhabitants of tbe rue de Rn-oli, iudig
nant at the aspersions thus cast on their cellars,
bare aolemnly contradicted this statement, assure
their fellow-citueus that their houses were never
jahtsttted by any kind of vermin, declare the whole
story to be a grsceless political squib, and warn

There is now a proportion before the Legisla?
ture to appropriate IS ",c0o fur the erection of a
building, which shall be tire proof, to contain the
Btste Library, which has been rapidly increasing
in aize and value for the past few years, bat more
especially since it has been placed under the care
of the Regents ofthe ' niversity. The necessity
for a new building waa never more plainly made
manifest then during last Saturday. By the rules
ofthe Library, the magnifient illustrated works,
which from time to time, have been presented
to tbe State, are only allowed to be examined on
Saturday of each week between the hours of ten
and two , there is, as a matter of coarse, a very
large crowd of both ladies ani gentlemen, many
of them strangers, anxious to have a glance at
the only copies of works ofthe kind within reach
' Four hours being too short a time for so mauy to
be gratified, there is much disappointment felt at
what, under other circumstances, would really be
intolerable. Bat the Librarians coraplain'so jast
ly of the want of spa' e, that a due regard for the
preservation of the books, and their safe keeping,
prevent them from being thrown open to the public
more generally. Indeed, when I saw the table
covered with engravings and books containing il?
lustrations on many diiierent subjects in so many
hands, all mixed up without much regard to
where they might be laid when once looked at,
I did not wonder at the stringency of the rule.
Sometimes finding a beautiful colored specimen of
an Orchid from Now Zealand in contact wich

Magdalen of Murili", misfit be found a fight be
tween a gri/./.ly bear and a couple of S.oux Indi?
ans, while the Cameian Sybil of iJomeniebino
would be found concealing a group of flowers
gathered is the antipodal meadows of Aastrala
sia. When to the following are added the tweUe
volumes of platea of the Description of Egypt,
ancient and modern, published by order of the
Emperor Napoleon, and which are only, to be
seen within a precious few hours, it will be found
that no examination is possible, and many have
to be satisfied with but a tantalizing glance.
And when all the inconvenience has to be added
likewise, the risk of destruction from lire?the
boildicg having been on lire, as stated by the li?
brarian, three times within the last year?tho ab?
solute necessity of the erection of a fire proof
building, large enough to admit the increase of
the library, and to display either for instruction
or pleasure, the various works of art of which it
may become the depository, is incontestible.
^ esterdsy the bill providing for State Agent to
attend the Great Fair at London, was passed. It
gives the person appointed a salary of Al.?OO. The
appointment is placed in the hands ofthe Governor.
On Saturday Mr. Burroughs made an attempt
in the Assembly to have the bill providing for the
apppointment of B. P. Johnson, the Secretary of
the Agricultural Society, by joint resolution; but
did not succeed. It is generally thought, however,
that Mr. Johnson will be appointed, any way, pub?
lic opinion pointing to him as the best qualified
man in the State lor the Agency.
Senator Carroll yesterday introduced a bill for
the purchase of a State Printing Ollice and for the
election of a 8tate Printer. Many persons have
long been of opinion that this was the most econo?
mical mode of doing the large amount of wash
which is annually ordered by the State and which
tbe growth ot the State has rendered necessary.
I shall have a few words more to say on this sub
, ect by and bye.
The subject of Resolutions to the Compromise
measures has been most interesting for the last
two days. Mr. Varm m, tho Si eakkk and tho
?'.juvenile Cicero of Richmond Co,'* as the Knick?
erbocker calls bim, occupying Monday, and the
leader of the right wing of the < Ipposition coming
yesterday to the aid of the Whigs with a liber?
ality that miuht have opened their hearts, if
they could have believed tiiero was sincerity in
lUmburjer professions; but the wreck of the
ButJalo platform is too recent for the majority of
this State to put much faith in tho professions of
the pilots wlio steered that ship out of port
Throughout bis speech ol yesterday Mr. Bor it -
Koi BBS seemed to say
" Vet lor Decessity of present life,
I muri show out a sinn of lova
Which ta indeed I ul sign."
He appears far better litre 1 so make mischief
than to be a safe guide for legislator*.
To day Mr. J- Bknedh t of Oneida County, in a
speech ol two hours length at least, answered that
of Mr. Burroughs Mr Benedict is what might be
called an elderly person in appearance, but he
went into tbe merit- of the question, which wa>
the uselessnesa of agitation on the Compromise
measures, and where that responsibility of agita?
tion should rest, with all the vigor of a young man.
Silver 111 ays, Hunkers, Barnburners, every thing
that WaM dough face, were shown up and criticised
with unsparing hands. He was listened to with
extreme attention by the House and the galleries,
which were full. Among his bearers was Hou.
Francis Granger, who laughed, apparently very
good uaturedly at some of tho happy hits with
which Mr. B. favored him while reviewing the
course of the Syracuse and L ticaConventions last
Fall. Some ol the Senators were also on the door
of the House as listeners.
Mr. B. said that be was ready at any time to
aid in electing a L . S. Senator, whether a reso
lations were passed or not- It should not be his
fault, nor that of those with whom he acted, if it
was not done at this session of the Legislature.
But if it was thought best to stave it otF, he was
equally content. neither he nor bis party was
afraid to try the question on its merits before the
People. The People of tho State had already
spokeu out their sentiments in an unmistakeable
mauaer, aa the majority tn tho House testified.
If it were necessary for tbem to speak again, he
had not the least doubt but this condemnation of
the course of D. S. Dickinson in I". 8-Senator,
would be still more emphatic. For that was the
issue last fall, and it was one which he would
again like to see tried. Yours,

1 hare just heard that the Falls of Niagara have
again receded, through another break down ofthe
ledge of rock over which the stream runs, on Fri?
day last. This is the second tumble down of rock
there this winter, and if it is considerable in ex?
tent, and shall be followed by a few more such
launches, people now alive may see those cele?
brated Fails converted into a rapid, or a succes
aion of rapids, and Lake Erie lowered thereby
several feet.
The ledge of n ck at tbe Fails, extend about a
..uarter of a mile back from the cataract?beyond
that, the Niagara ia said to be a hundred lee1
deep, or et en deeper. when, therefore, the creat
fall retches that deep water, there wiil only be a
rapid. At Black Rock, to the best of my recollec?
tion, the river is usually about twelve feet deep,
lowuv over a ledge of rocks. Were the Falls
to be succeeded by a rapid below Chip?ewva,
tbe waters oi Lake Erie would Mow perhaps five
times as swift as they do now at Black Hock, and
thua lower the lake, mo h to the astonishment of
the dwellers at !>:e, Cleveland, Buffalo, and

The government have put off their movejto
Cluebec to the Fall, and their last sesaion of this
Legislature is adjourned to next Summer, I sup
pose As the elections are likely to take place
before January next, wo have the usual .juantity
ml the msgnificent Railway meetings, speeches
and projects, while the whole of the Railways in
Upper Canada measure nine miles, all t >ld. I
hear that seven or eight sections of the Western
Hallway from Hamilton to London inear Lake
Erie, upon the plain where the battle of the
Thames waa fought in 1-11,) have actually been
given out to contractors, and that excavation pro
: presses near Burlington Hights Could tbe
Western Railway be built?that is, could capa?
ble workmeD, fai'hfvl directors, and plenty of
cash be obtained" the journey from the head of
t Lake Ontario, say Dundee or Hamilton, to De?
troit, could be performed in eight or nine hou-s.
Economy in tbe management of public affairs
here is not even dreamt of: colonial politics
means, as elsewhere, a scramble for the spoils,
which are here abundant, and the strongest tie of
party is public plunder. I wish it were other?
wise. Vet, to old inhabitanta like me, the pro?
gress Upper Canada, has made daring the last
thirty years is nearly marvelous. The Superin?
tendent of Education', Ryeraon, is urging the peo?
ple to follow y our example, and adopt the Free
School system I think it will be done, Shrewd

May their names and memories be forever held in
honor!
During 1-1!', there were 2:,9P>,i children in
Canada West, between the ages of 9 and 16 i of
these h7,5J7 boys and ?. l.UsW girls were at the
Common Schools, and 5,399 at private establish?
ments, leaving more than 100.000 uneducated, or
without scholastic lore. The Free School system
would bring under the teacher's eye another
50,000 children at the least. A substantial draw?
back here is the want ot \our school or village
libraries. We had la 1849, but M of them in
Western Canada, containing but 5,310 volumes.
There is no legislative provision for establishing
them Of Sunday School Librariea we have now
nearly 500, with some 60,000 volumes of books.
Our school houses are, generally apeaking, ill
ventilated, temporary buildings, consisting of one

furniture?nevertheless I am glad to aee what has
been done aince 1014, when our first school act

This exhibit furnishes an argument decidedly in
! favor of the line to China, even were that to Aut
> wcrp not established.
Independent of the China line, however, there
is great inducement lor the United States to enter
'? upon some terms ot arrangement for carrying the
J mails and perhaps lending its credit. Antwerp
is in direct communication with the very heart Of
Iurope, being connected by railway aud steam
I navigation with Brussels, Ghent, Liege. Yiroren,
Cologne, Yerviers, Frankfort ontfw Maine Basic,

Berlin, Prat t, Vauna, Trieste, Stettin, Ri^a,
Stoekhvlm, Cracow, Waesair. It is in very few
hours connection with Rotterda . AmaterJam,
and London.
The Belgian Government offers its own mail
contract to such a line, aud I have been oredibly
informed has offered |o guarantee that its citizens
shall furnish half the capital.
A new proposition haa appeared upon thedesks
of members this mornini', which sets forth that
the Government advance of stock which is to be
paid off in annual instalments often percent, can
l>e sold to individuals, and thus the whole become
private stock. It also proposes on the part of the
contractor, to furnish ? 1.OOO.ifoo of the capital
It should not,be forgotten that Mr. JAlfBl B
Moore of Ohio also proposes to contract for a line
of steamers to China, in consideration of the pos?
tage receipts between the two countries, and
other advantages connected with purchase of
Government lands in Oregon.
The disposition of the House is evidently rath?
er favorable to the China line, but the want of
time prevent* them from giving it due considers
' tion. The sub ect is a vast one and ahould be
warmly discussed.

the prosecution of unlicensed rum sellers, and the
Rum party got up a riot at it- Some mmirri of
the I nion and Safety Committee are implicated ta

Law when it drags an innocent man into Slavery
and compels him to work for nothing but an occa?
sional flogging, but when Law requires them not
to steal the husband and father away from the
support of his wife and children, nor to steal the

A PROCLAMATION
Wkfrfn- it has long been * matter of doubt, and
much diversity of opinion haaexiate I. aa to whom
was the lawless offender who dsred to strike
"Billy Patteraon,"?a deed without a name, and
committed in derogat "n ef constitutional law and
in contempt of our sathority. And whereas, after
due and diligent search, oar trusty an 1 well
beloved ot?cer did make discovery of the culprit,
and him did have before our tribunal in the far
lamed City of Notions Aud whereas, sundry
lawless persons, principally persons of color, con?
spired and confederated together for the purpose
of opposing, by torce, the execution of the laws,
did overcome the sai'i officer, and rescue from his
custody the ssid culprit so charged with the as?
sault upon the said " Hilly Patterson:"
Now therefore, to the end that the authority of
tl lawa may be maintained, and those concerned
in violating them brought to immediate and con?
dign punishment. I have issued this my Proclama?
tion, calling on al! well dis]k>aed citizens (and par?
ticularly upon the petticoated portion of the lsnd)
to rally to the support of the laws of the country,
and requiring and commanding all officers, civil
and uncivil, to be aiding and assisting in quelling
/ this sx-1 all other combinations?to the end that
the laws may be executed, and the author of the
said daring outrage upon Billy Patterson may be
> \ i< i ted also and further, to the end that all
the great measures of compromise may be pre?
served inviolate.

which being interpreted is,
?? I take no step backward,"
or as our trusty Counsellor, lien. Fojte, would
translate :

I rre t*rboot State Convention.
A State Convention of the friends of Free
Schools will be held at 1 tica, on Wedneaday, Mtk
'nst. at which it eis hoped there will be a full at?
tendance. A Call has been issued by the State
Central Committee urging the importance of the
Free School principle, and embodying the follow?
ing resolutions i
Kf BS***, That we deem it both Just and necessary tbat
our laws i;eso larked as lo make it obligatory on iiss'-esors
to rix their estimate of property, real and personal, at tls
culi value ani that such penalties as would be reasonabls
should be In posed by law on all persons concealing their
property from asseue?rs. snd thereby defrauding tbe Slate
of us ;.ourres of revenue.
h . i.That for school purposes, there should be raised
by statute an amount of money ecual to the sum annually
apportioned from the income of the State School Fund?
that a county lax should be levied In each county, equal lo
twice the amount which the cotitty receives trom the State
School Kurd, (the town tax being no longer obligatory)
and that an annual poll lax of IInj cents should be levied
on esrh adult male person tn the Slate, eieept that aliens
shall not be so taxed till they shall have been six months in
the S ate.
Rt-olttd, Tbat we believe It to be equitable and expedi?
ent that one-half of all the public money re reive! by each
town, should be divided etiually among the several school
districts, and the oilier half as now. according to the num?
ber of children of school-age, residing In the several dis
tries of the town, due regard being had lo thu Joint districts,
to called, ss well aa to those which are entire.
Kctotted. That we deem It esseniral lo tbe proper working
of the Krte School system, that every district should sup?
port a school, by a competent teacher, al least eight mouths
in each year.
Retelt ed, Thst we are opposed to abolishing the office of
town superintendent; but we believe that great benefit
would result from having an assembly district, or county
superintendent, not for ? xa; . i.ii g teachers and schools,
but for receivirg snd conversing tewn and district reports,
snd forwarding them to the. Department of S ate, and for
bearing and deciding appeals from local hoards, and (or
calling and visiting county normal schools or teachers' in?
stitutes.
Knotted. Finally. That we recommend to the Town 8u
periatendeni* and friends of Free Education, In each of the
"iher Counties of tbe State, that, as early as practicable, Uiey
assemble in convention, to lake into consideration the pres?
ent condition of our Schools, and to embody. In resolves
the views of their fellow ettl/ens in relstion to the subject

Delaware Legislation.?The Delaware Le?
gislature has passed the -tied BUI, audit is now
a law. It exempts #100 from execution or dis?
tress for rent, and goes into operation on the Uh
of July next, but does not street any existing cou
tracts. The Free Negro Bill, providing for the
sale of negroes out of the State who cannot pay
hues for offences of which they are convicted has
been introduced into the House. The amendment
to tbe Constitution, consolidating the Preaidenttal
and State elections, has been voted down.
Fishing Vessels.?There are now on the stock
at Essex no less than seventeen fishing vessels, of
from sixty to eighty tuns burden, and of very beau?
tiful models. Fourteen of them are for Glouces?
ter, ami their average value will exceed 83,0ou
each. Several of them are nearly finished, and
we believe the keel of not one was laid until after
the tirst of November last. About as many more
are contracted for, and will be finished the coming
