Senate, Jan. 6.-—On motion of Mr. Mallo-
gy, it was Resolved, That the committee on
the Judiciai'y be instructed to inquire whether
any further legal or constitutional provisions
‘ ’—.1—,:t,re necessary to prohibit the sale of foreign
flattery tickets within this state ; and that the
same committee be further instructed to in-
quire into the expediency of preventing by
law the sale -of parts or shares o'f any lottery
tickets, or of any whole tickets, for less than a
specified surn—and that the said conirnittee
report to this senate by bill or otherwise.
Jun. 7.—-Mr. Spencer offered the following
resolution: Resolved, That a coriiiiiittec be
appointed to iriqtiire into the expediency of
an "amendment to the constitution, by which
the rate ofthe duty upon the salt niatiufactur-
ed in the western part of this state may be
‘- subject to such alterations by the legislature
as the interests of the state uiay froru time to
time require.
Mr. Ogden stated that he was not aware of
arty particular objection to the proposed iri-
quiry ; but he was apprehensive that it would
prove to be an entering wedge to the [oral
extinction of the duty on salt and of the tolls
upon the canals. The reventte derived froui
these sources he considered as a part of the
fund soleiiitily pledged, (under circuiiistatices
I . .;.wliich'gave to the pledgetlie proffered sauc-
lion of the citizens of the W(:Sl,) for the re-
demption ofthe debt incurred in the coiistruc-
tiotrof the canals. Mr. O. was unwilling to
disturb the constitution in this respect, until
that debtsbbtild be liquidated.
Mr. Spencer apprehended that there were
very cogent reasons for taking up the subject.
One ivas,_tlia’t the saltof the neigliboririiig
‘states corild be purchased at 925 _ cents the
bushel :'"arid another, that it was probable the
duty on foreign salt, which was now 220 cents,
would be partially if not wholly abolrsned.—-
Should this be the case, salt from abroad
could be brought to our oivri doors, by means
of our rivers and canals, and sold cheaper
than it _could be iiranufactured byourselves,
if subject to the existing rate of duty. He
conceded the inviolable appropriation of the
.--i. fund to the discharge ofthe canal debt; but
‘ ifit should be discovered that the competition
from abroad and frotn other states should be
so great as to prevenp the sale of our SlE,llt,i'r1l’l(.l
thereb de rive us 0 the revenue to e ( err-
ved lrdiri shch sale, unless the duty should be
repealed, it surely ought to be repealed. -1-,-
Mr. Livingston said that the more he re-
flected u on the sub'ect, the more he was
coiivinceri)tliati t slioujld not be nieddled with.
The faith ofthe state was pledged; and the
public faith should be always religiously pre-
‘served. Air. Colderi rose to say a wo_ru
or two in "usttfication of his vote. His opitiiori
was thattlie ditty being pledged iti I.l'1Cl..‘Ot1-
stitution, no circutristzirices would atrtlinrize
its repeal. ‘Sir, said Mr. Colderi, this §tate is
mighty and wonderful in her works; and she-
has coiripleted tliem-ivithout imposing a tax.
She has been able to perform all her great.
plans by the force ofiier credit. And how is
this credit sustained? By preserving misus-
eeted the faith of the state. Under the cir-
Er-irnstaiices, he slioutdvote for the resolution,
because he was desirous to show that they
were prepared to adhere to their moral and
legislative duty. If inforination is desired,
let it be given; and when obt_ained, whatever
it may be, and whatever tcrnptatioii it may
. hold outto violate the public faitli,lei a,deter-
mination be tnanifested fully to tiiaintain the
consititution. He should notoppose the irr-
quiry, because it afforded_ an opporttitiity to
exhibit a strong regard for the public pledges,
by afterward voting against any amendurents
ofthe constitution. ‘
H (ruse qf Assembly, Jun. 4.—M r. Root ob-

‘Co71gress‘.—-Tlie only question which ex-
cites particular ‘interest in Cougresslis the
bill toamerid tht-jndicial's‘_vst.em byiricreasing
the _nuniber ofjustices ofthe Supreme Court,
and making 3 rriore Circuits in.the'Wes!ern
states. The last 10 days have been principally
spent in discussing this question, and some
very good speeches have been delivered, but
as the Nat. Gazette says, there are.n'oue of a
tenor to interest the ptiblic in general&for it
is a subject which specially appertains to the
lawyers, of whom there are said to be two

limial Judges, instead of three as atpresent
proposed.‘ ‘ _ .
Theetlitor ofthe National Journal thinks
tliere'is no doubt that the proposed catial,(fcr
the navigation of ships) across the Peninsula
of Florida,will be grarited almost unanimous-
ly by Congress. This Canal, among its many
other almost incalculable advantages, will
exempt us from any futttre apprelietrsion irtto
whose hands Cuba may fall. ‘
The Atintial meeting of the American
Colonization Society was held at Washington
on the 9th inst. The Hon. Henry Clay pre-
sided. Delegates were present from eight
Auxiliary Societies. From the Animal Re-
port it appears that the prospects ofthe Afri-
can colony are very encouraging, and that
the influence and funds of the Society have
been greatly augmented during the year.-—
On motion of W. H. Fitzhugli, Esq. 9fVa. it
was resolved that a comuiittee be appointed
to draft rneniorials to Congress and to the
State Legislatures submitting the object to

The last .-Vrw-Yul‘/t: Spcctatnrcoritains the
following account of the singular effect pro-
duced rrpon the minds of many of the good
people ofthat city by a hoax which sortie
uiiscliievous fellow took into his head to play
off upon them. Greater consternation ap-
pears to have pervaded the city for a short
titiie than was produced sortie 10 or 1.‘) years
since b_v the famous proclamation of .N'imrod
Hughs “ to all the dwellers upon earth.”
“ It was in the Spring of 1824, we believe,
that we had occasion to speak of a silly, tho’
pa rtially successful, attempt to sport with the
popular credulity, in regard totlie yellow fe-
ver. The story was, that a new born infant
procltiiiried the desolation of New York dur-
ing the season, by the pestilence—liavirig liv-
ed just long enough to utter the fearful pre-
diction, and then yielded up its breath.v—--—
Strange as it may seetri, no small sensation
was created, and sundry people liastetied to
Greenwich to bespeak stores and houses. Yet
the Stitniner came, and passed; but no pesti-
lential vapor was borne upon its wings. This
subject has been brought to rriiiid by another
piece of wretclicd waggery, which has created
nearly as rrrucli bristle and coiistertratioti as
might be expected fin. a bombardnieiit. The
story which was circulated on Friday evening
was.tliat two watchmen, stationedin differerrt
parts of the city, simultaneously saw a vision
of angels, who kindly informed them that N.
York is to be swallowed up by the great deep
on the 19m instant. During the day follow-
ing, several persons called tiptiii the Police
Magistrates to obtain the particulars; and by
Tuesday evetiiiig, considerable excitement
was manifested, which iricreased through the
ntglit to such a degree that the magistrates
were repeatedly called up by people of re-
spectable appearance, for information and ad-
vice whether they should fly from the city.-
All the efforts of the magistrates and other
officers, however, could not allay the excite-
l11(’[ll.--llle story grew, and the panicincreas~
ed. Yesterday morning the rumor was, that
three watchriien had seen the vision, and that
before the angels came along, a man passed
by one oftlietn without any feet. It was also
reported that the watchmen were all three
confined in Bridewell for having reltacd the
vision. Hundreds of people again tlironged
the Police oflice; and the Keeper of the
Brirlewell inforrris us that frotii one to two
liuridred people have applied to him for liber-
ty to see the persecuted watclimen. In the
mean time, the officers state, that more than
one linndrr-d families moved out of the city
yesterday,to avoid the impending destruction.
One good old lady in the first ward, not wish-
irigjnst yet to join her departed other half,
deposited her plate and valuables in a batik,
and leaves the city to day. In the mean time,
the children in the soliools have been alarm-
ed —riiariy jourrieymeri mechanics in the up-
per wartls, have precipitately left their work,
and escaped frotii the city. Servant girls are
wliimpeiitig, and begging permission to leave
their places ; while the black servants trem-
ble with fear, and the wickedest oftliem turn
pale. Some flee without leave, and others
are engaged in importuiiing their friends and
relatives to disregard the wholesome advice
of enliglitetied employers, and fly from ttte
city alsn—-altho’ the retreat was last evening
rendered utitiecessary by an addition to the
tlireful tale, that the city of New York is not
to stiffer alone, but that the whole world is to
be shaken to pieces by an Eartliquake!
We need not of coprse state, that the story
of tlieiiriprisorinicrit of the watcliiiien, is e-
qiially utrtrue with the rest ofthe absurdities.
How it originated is not known ; but whoever
the malicious lioaxer was, he triust ere this
perceive that his sport has caused much anx-
iety and trouble——especially on the score of
family servants, who have lost tlieir"places
before tlieiretiiployers could procure substi-
tutes. Much distress may also be experien-
ced by weak and poor families, whose terror
has driven them out ofthe city at this season.
It is astonishing that a story, partalring so
uiucli both ofthe ridiculous and absurd,slrould
have created so much consterriatioii-—-and
oite must actually witness the fact to believe
it. The best coirirrierit uporr it, however, that
we can give, is to repeat the answer which we
tieard Hays make in the police office last eve-
nirig, to one of the anxious iiiqtiiries: “ Tell
your friend.” said he, " that we have postpo-
ned the Earthquake on the 19th, in order to
give the managers an opportunity to draw the
great Lottery!” ' We think, therefore, that
those’ who expect to be swallowed up on
Tliursday next, had better go and possess
tlieriiselves ofa Ticket. Ifthey draw blanks,
they will bejust as well off; and there is a
as
double_charice’l‘or'sonie one bf them to escape.‘ I

Plain. Dealing.-—-Mr. McLean, the_ Post-
master General, is reiriarkably prompt in cor-
recting and preventitig abuses in his Depart-
faithful men, and if others apply for ofiice, he
does not hesitate to address them in plain
language, and to tell them frankly why he
cannot comply with their requests. This trait
in his character is wellillustrated in a letter
to Mr. Isaiah Butice, editor of the Litchfield
Eagle, which we have given below. It seems
that Mr. B. had for several years been etii-
ployed as an assistant to the ‘postmaster in
Litclifir-.ld,"with the expectation of succeeding
him on his resignation or removal from office.
A few uioritlis since,the office liecame vacant,
but Mr. B. was not selected to fill it, and in
the first moments of tlisappointineut, he ad-
dressed a coriiplainiiig letter to Mr. McLean.
The following is Mr. McLcaii’s reply.
“The allegations against you are numerous
and strong, and are chiefly these:
“ That you cannot write or read well enough
—are not a safe accnuiitat~it—have been grill-
ty oftlie grossest negligence in not delivering
letters when called for, a negligeiice always
inconvenient, and often attended with injury
—deliver letters frequently to persons for
whom they were intended, and suffer them to
be taken away—fail to send letters a nd pack-
ets by niail in proper titne-—sornetiuie‘s send
off the mail without putting into it any letters
or packets that had been lodged at your office
——reverse the destination of letters, and send
them back to the places from whence they
came——have not sense to discover the error
after the letters have been repeatedly returned
-iiiake frequent and gross tnistakes in the.
bills forwarded to other oflices——-open packa-
ges addressed to other otl‘ices——when a mail
is called for by the Post Master ofa neigli-
boring office, hand otit any, right or wrorig——
disobey the regulations respecting dead news-
papers, appropriate a half a dozen of therii
for two or three years to your own use, and
resort to the miserable speculation of selling
them for wrapping paper——-fill up a circulat-
trig library with periodical works obtained in
this way—-are uticorirteous in your behaviour
——odious to the populatiou—heap error upon
error, and avail yourselfof these errors in or-
der to supplant your eiiiployer—liave been
tried by the vininage and found wanting-and
l0 sum up,they charge yoti with want ot'priri~
oiple and capacity. Respectfully, your obe
dietit, ' JOHN MCLEAN.
