If the people of this State at large do not fnlly appre
ciate the benefits provided for them by the Legislature of
I8fi4, the organized band of conspirators upon the trea
sury. In the lobby, assuredly will. If the |>eople wonder
why members of both houses so willingly remain at the
capitol, confine themselves fourteen or sixteen hours a
day, voting upon bills, without any remuneration from
the State treasury, the artful schemer* in the lobby do
no such thing. They perfectly understand why the Le
gislature is kept here against the individual desire of
every member. Bills are rushed through upon the ex
piring moments of the session, which will allow certain
favorites to accumulate thousands upon millions of dol
isi*. and yet many of them are passed without scarcely
any investigation. There have been several of this
character carried through within the present week, and
there are yet many others to follow.
The Senate continued its yesterday session until half
past one o'clock this morning. The last thing done was
the passage of the Brooklyn Consolidation bill. It being
extremely lengthy. Senators did cot feel disposed to re
main two hours at that time of night, to hear it read by
the Clerk. Tl.e reading wa< coinin"nced. but the Clerk
had not proceeded far before some of the Senators
thought that all the sections had not been read through
in their order. The Clerk read uud re read, when finally
the nuestion catnc up on the final vote. Nut a quorum
was found to be present, and the officer* were despatched
to the hotels and other places of known resort, who
finally succeededbringing in a sufficient number to
finally succeededMh brinsrii..
compose a quorum, and Vie bill passed. The consolida
rion bill was sent to the Hoeue this morning, and the
amendment added to it by the Senate was concurred in.
An attempt was made to reconsider the vote, but failed,
and now Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and Bushwick may
fairly be considered under one charter forsvermore.
The last executive session was held to-day, but no
nominations were confirmed except a number of notaries
in various parts of the State.
Mr. Brooke believes that there is something wrong in
the management of Columbia College. No doubt of it :
but how to remedy the evils, and lay its errors before the
people. It has been tried for a series of years with the
management of Union College at Schenectady, and strong
men hare been engaged in the investigation; but as yet
everything is reported as being all correet, proper and
honorable. Mr. Brooks introduced the following resolu
tion, vlx.
Resolved, That a solect committee of three be appointed,
whose duty it shall he, during the recess of the Legislature,
and at as early a day as practicable, to inquire whether Co
lumbia College, or any of its trustees, have violated auy
provision of law Mr of its obarter, and particularly whether
,aid Collage, or any of its trustees, have, in any way, and if
aay, what, made religions qualification a test for any can
-filiate as a condition of sppointmentto any professorship in
.aid College. and further, to inquire into the means ana re
source* of said Co'lege, and tbe administration of its affairs
at largo; and that suoh committee have power to send for
jersons and papers.
Mr. Bpenoo moved to amend as follows.?
And tbnt the committee also fcavo power to examine into
all obarges, now made or may bo against any other college,
or -luring the time they shall ie engaged in their duty, and
to inquire whether any creed i* taught. or test required:
whether any of the colleges or institutions of learning have
more of ono persuasion among their teachers than another,
and whether they teach any improper or sectarian doctrine
This amendment was rejected, and Mr. Brooks' rssolu
ticn adopted, syes 17, nays 0.
It is understood here that the case of the professor
ship alluded to is simply this: a certain Doctor Gibbs
made application for the vacant chair of Professor of
Chemistry in Columbia college, and the authorities eject?
il him because his religious opinions inclined to Units
risnism Instead of Episcopacy. Is Columbia a branch of
Trinity!
Senator Barr is upon the heels of the Commissioners
i f Emigration. It will be recollected that the Legisla
ture has heretofore sunt committees to investigate into
the transactions of th-ec gi-ntb-men. The Senator now
wishes to make another effort, and it is hoped that if he
succeeds something of more consequence will be brought
before tbe Legislature than has yet appeared from ail
the former investigations. This is the Senator's resolu
'ion of inquiry:?
Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed, with
rower to send for persons and papers, to investigate the
affairs and management of the Commissioners of Emigre
tion, and tbe charges made against them, and that they
report to the next Legislature the result of their inveatiga
tion, and wbnt means, if any, can or may be necessary to
be adopted fb remedy tbe evils complained of, and that
said committee have leave to sit during tbe recess.
This was adopted, ayes 17, noes 6. Mr. Verplanck
will pleaae set his hooks m order with all possible speed.
His Excellency, since he vetoed the prohibitory liquor
I ill. has exercised his prerogative in that respect on sev
eral recent occasions. He yesterday tent in his reasons
for refusing to sign a bill relative to matters of bank
issues, as follows:?
State or New Yore, Ex. Department. (
Albany. April IS, 1864. S
Saniord E. Church, Presidhnt or the Se
SATS :? ...
I herewith return, with my objections toils becoming a
law. " An aot to amend an act entitled, an act to amend
tbe fourth title of tbe thirteenth char ter of the first part of
motions
tka Revised Statutes, entitled, regulations concerning the
aesossmoat of taxes on Incorporated companies, and the
commutation or collection thereof," passed July 26, 1863.
Tbe first and only seotlon of this bill is as fellows:?
" Section 1. There shall be added to the 10th section of the
set mentioned In this title as follows, vii.:?And in all eases
of banking corporations, where the amount of loans and dis
- nnts are limited bylaw, snob corporations shall be al
" eir 1
lowed to increase their loans and discount* to an amount
equal to tbe amount of surplus profits on hand."
It will be seon that there is no connection whatever be
'tween the subject of this bill and the object indioated in the
title. It snbetantially allows all banking corporations, for
tbe purpose of making loans and discounts, to increase their
capital to an amount equal to their enrplns profits, under
ofor of amending tho laws conec.?n1ng the assessment of
uses on incorporated companies. 1 am not prepared to say
that this great change in onr banking system is. or Is not,
vitsitable. Bnt I cannot consent to sign a bill, the objects
ofwbiehare not in some degree expressed in its title. Tbe
Legislature should give full and fair netice of the subjects
of its legislation. No practices should be allowed which are
-calculated to mislead or blind the public as to the effects of
proposed laws. It is apparent that the refereaces of this
i.ill, either upon the journals of the Senate or in the colnmns
of the daily press, would in no decree lead any one to sus
Set its noture. Tbe publications of the proceedings of tho
w branches of the Legislature arc designed to rive to the
people of tills State an opportunity to express their ohloe
tiuns to all measures which they may deem 'hurtful to the
g< ncral interests or destructive of private rights. I cannot
spprovc any Mil the title of which is calculated to mislead
the pnblic as to its trne oharaoter an-I purpose. I therefore
return tho bill to the Senate, where it originated, without
my sirnaturs or approval.

THE SENATE PHINTKK VS. THK HOUSE V.
WKATIIKR, ETC. 1864
Washington, April 16, - th
gome time ago the Senate ordered to bo printed '
mechanical portion of the Patent Office report. This fe?
to Beverly Tucker, the 8ennte printer. Subsequently
the agricultural portion of that report was sent to the
House, who ordered one hundred thousand copies to be
printed by the printer to the House?lfr. Nicholson. Ac
cording to law, the printer to either House that orders
eitra numbers of documents supplies the other, thus
saving the expense of typesetting. Tucker claims tka
the agricultural part belongs to liim, that and the me
chanical constituting one documcut. The Committee on
Printing could not decide the matter. Tucker, therefore
resorted to the Circuit Court, praying it to issue a nun
damus oil the Superintendent of Public Printing to give
him the work. The case came up this morning, lteverdy
Johnson and Mr. Carlisle appearing for Mr. Tucker, and
Phillip B. Key for Mr. Nicholson. The argument was
not finished, and the last uaraed was allowed until next
Saturday to reply. There is much interest felt in the
case.

Baltimore, April 10, 1854.
New Orleaus papers of Sunday last are received. They
contain news from El Paao to tho 30th ultimo.
A fight had occurred between a party from HI Paso
and a party of mon from Dona Ana. The El Paso party
was composed of seventeen Americans and Englishmen,
and a number of Mexicans. They were well armod, and
had two aix pounders. The fight lasted twenty-six min
utes, when the Dona Ana party fled, lea ring threo dead on
the field. The victors captured a large number of cattle.
The American Consul had been arraigned before the
Alcalde of El Paso, on a charge of having said Santa Anna
hsd sold a part of Mexico, and would pocket 920,000,000
thereby. The Consul refused to say anything to the
charge, but held himself responsible only to our govern
ment. He was sufi'ered to leave th? court.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA AT BOSTON ? THE SUS
PENSION OP THE COCHITUATE BANK.
Bohton, April 15, 1854.
The America is bolow, but it is so dark that wo do not
expect her up before morning. The mails will not leave
for New York till Sunday afternoon by the regular train.
The reported failure of the Cochituato Bank to day,
led to a great run upon it. Specie and current bills were
paid out up to 1 o'clock, when the officers declined
making further payments. The securities are considered
good, ami it i thought that bill holders will be paid in
full. The sus| ension of tho bank Is attributed to the
failure of one of iu officers, who is largely interested in
Iron manufacturing. He is said to owe the bank
9100,000. Report says the bank will resume business on
Monday.
An injnnotion was laid on the Cochituate Bank thig
afternoon, and business will not be resumed until the
commissioners report, about tho middle of next week.

A unanimous complaint. What in the matter up
there? Will the winter never end? Will the children <>
the hundred* and thousand* of the suffering poor of this
eity never have the privilege again of going barefooted,
without being frostbitten? What a horrid time they
must have had of i-i this last season at the North 1'ule
and all nround that section of the* country ! Ah, me !
What has become of Dr. Kane and his Arctic expedition
in search of Sir John Franklin, missing since 1846 ? We
have been thinking of that. It must have been a tre'
mendou* winter above the Arctic circle?a winter of per
petual night?with the mercury at the averago of 45 de. J
grcea below zero all the time. Look at the icebergs, by
the Ave hundred miles square, in extent, that have been j
drifting down into our own latitudes, arresting tho right
of way of our Liverpool steamers. Those things satisfy
us that our friends and fellow citizens of Kamschatka
must have had a rough time of it?a winter which has
made seal oil a cash Article among them, and raised the
price of board prodigiously.
We have no doubt that the vast frozen regions of tho
North, and the fields of icebergs, drifting down towards
us from
" Tbc pitiless const, nf Labrador,"
havo had a great deal toslo with our wintry visitations
of this month of April, especially with the fierce snow
storm of Friday night last. The wind had been blowing
in uponth for nearly two days from th" icebergs, till
the sky was overflowing with snow?and it had to
come down. And it "did come down. It was the
February snow slorni over again. with a litflo extra
hail in it. Beginning in the afternoon at four
o'clock, it continued falling at a moderate ra'o till
dark, thence till fen o'clock it thickened, and from ten
o'clock till daylight it raged and storm" 1 as if the ex
piring ngonies. wrath and vengeance of old Winter were
concentrated in the merciless elements. But fur the
melting as it fell, there would probably have been eigh
teen inches upon a level of snow and hall In the Bark on

Tlie thunder atorm on Thursday afternoon disarranged
the north aectfon of tlie l'olice telegraph, and iioinewimt
surprised tlie police officers on duty in the Twenty second
ward station house. by tlie electricity from the cloud*
striking the wire, which "shattered tlie Apparatus into
pieces. Tlie following account is given by the Captain of
{'Mice, on the return to the Chief :?" At liitff-.uast three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the time of the liearjr
shower, the lightning attracted by the telegraph win*
ran into the station house, knocking the telegraph appa
ratus into fragments, making a report tike the dischan<i>
of a heavily loaded musket, fortunately without Injuring
any person." This difficulty could hare been avoided
we' are informed, if the operator in the station houac- kid
detached the wire from the apparatus prior to the ap
proach of the storm. It ia presumed they will know
better next time on the approach of a storm, especially
if one or two of the captains lose their heads by a flawi
of lightning; it may then tend to invoke more cauliou
and attention to those who are left untouched.
