Friday, .March S.--In the Senate apctition
was presented from D-, Po Canlbells lV'“'
Howard and others for the incorporation of a
For Company.
Mr, Vje1e,. from the Bank and Insurance
; Coinmittee, reported bills to incorporate the
“Grand Canal Batik, (capital $l,000,000;) the
’National Bank, (capital $Q,000,000;) and the
Me.~ch;mts’ Exchange Batik, $51,000,000 ;) all
in New York. The committee conceive that
these bills will increase the banking capital of
the city, as far as prtideuce will justify or the
wants of trade require. They tlterefore re-
port against the applications for the Security
Bank—-the Man. and Mechanics’ Bank-—aiid
the Exchange Company in said city.
On motion of Mr. Wright, the following
resolution was adopted.
Resolved, That the attorney general be and
he is hereby directed to present to the grand
jury of the city and county of Albany, any or
either ofthe witnesses, lately sworn before the
committee of the Senate appointed to inqtiire
into the conduct of Jasper lVard, who may,
in the opinion of the said attorney general,
appear, from the examination ofthe testimo-
ny reported by the said committee, to have
committed perjury.
Mr. V‘Vright observed that it would be evi-
dent to any one who examined the testimony
reported, that there had been much contradic-
‘tory swearing, and such as would, ifit had
been given in a cotirt of jristice, subject the
persons swearing to be itiditced for perjury.-—
The person most deeply interested in the in-
vestigation had complained that his cause had
been injured by false swearing. From the
several similar iiivestigatious heretofore had
it would be also seen that in every instance
there ltad been contradictory testiuiony given.
He tlioitght that it was high time that the per-
sons who were called iipoti to tcstily before
committees would be held amenable to the
law for false swearing, as much as they would
before a court of justice. He had introduced
the resolution bccatise he presuincd that the
attorney general would not suppose (fsz. prob-
ably it did n'd_t,) that the presentation came
tvithin the ditties ofhis office ; nor did he stip-
pose the district attorney or the county would
feel it incumbent to proceed against the per-
sons implicuted. This course was due to the
people ofthe state, as well as to the person
who complained that his character had been
injured. It was apparent that perjury had
been committed, an‘d he wished the guilty to
be punished, as an example to others in sinii-
lar cases.
In the House, petitions were presented, for
a laiv to exempt mechanics’ tools to the a-
mou_ut or 550 from sale on execution ; for the
incorporation ofscliools atHarlcmlSLYorkvi|lt-.
Mr. Wartlwell, fr. the committee appointed
to make inquiries in relation to the lllt'0l'p0-
ration of the Dutchess and Orange Steam-
Boat Company, made a report, contaiiiiiig a
detailed statement of facts, and concluding
that ttie evidence obtained by the committee
would not authorize the Legislature to exert
the power reserved in the Clldl'lCl‘ to repeal
the act of incorporation, inasmuch as the
stock of the company is owned and held by
persons who were strarigers to the application
at the time the charter was obtained.
Salztrday, ./lIarch4.—Iii the Senate, bills
Wt3l't? introduced to incorporate the Genriessec
County Bank; the Madison County Batik,
and the Onondaga County Bank.
In the House, on Saturday, Mr. Root, from
the military cornmittee, reported that it was
not expedient to reduce the equivalent to be-
paid for military services, by religious socie-
ties who had scruples of conscience against
bcaiiiig arms.; The committee said they
woufid rather increase than reduce it. The
report was agreed to.
Mr. Woodward, frorii the Bank committee.
reported a bill to give the New York and Sha-
ron Canal Co. banking privileges.
Mr. W. Smith, from the committee on lu-
tiian affairs, on the petition ofsuiidry persons
ofthe Eld Christian party of Oneida Indians,
com..lai:ii:ig that a late treaty between their
Dali-.‘\i and the state, was effected by fraud,
and contrary to the. wish of a uiajority ofsaid
nation. and praying that it m‘ay be annulled ;
rep-zirtt--rl against the prayer thereof, and in-
trurlucerl a bill to ratify said treaty, and to sell
the lanrls obtaiiied thereby.
Mi. Broughton offered a resolution, wliich
was laid on the table,requiring Benjamin R0
XI]'dlll:’ to refund ilte$l0'00 placed in his liantls
for the purpose oft.-renting a rnonriinent to the
Ariicrican citizens who perished on boa rd the
Jersey prison ship, within 30 days, with inter-
est.ano in default thereof authorizing legal
pro'ceedings to be instituted for the recovery
ofthe same.
A resolution from the Senate providing for
an-amendment ofthe constitution in regard
to the elective franchise, was agreed (to in

one years who shall have been an inhabitant
of this state one year neijt preceding an elec-

he actually resides, and not elsewhere, for all
officers that now are or hereafter may be e-
lective by the people.”
The resoltitioii from the Senate for an :1-
meudmcnt of the Coristitutioti, as relates to
the choice ofjiistices ofthe peace, was agreed

porate the Livingston county and Waterford
banks were passed in committee.
In the House the Schenectady and Albany
Rail Road bill was under consideration. It
was opposed on the ground that it would iti-
jiire the canal tolls.
Ward’s C'ase.—In our last we gave the pro
ceedings ofthe Senate in relation to this hon-
orable member ofthat body, assigning for cori-
sideration on Triesdtiy, it resolution for his ex-
pulsion. On that day, however, Mr. Ward
with :i view to postpone the destiny which a-
waited hitn, or to break the blow in its fall,pe
titioned to be heard by counsel at the end of
the week ; to this the Senate agreed, though
with evident reluctance, but refusing the
weelt’s delay,and substituting the ensuing day
(Wednesday) for the hearing. But on further
consideration it seems Mr. W. entertained
so fearful a dread of coming into the pres-
ence of his indignant companions, with the
vain hope of averting their just sentence upon
his misdeeds, yet witlial desirous of keeping
from the jotirnals the disgraceful record of
an e2:ptt.lsion——that be determined to try the
etfecti ofa letter ofresigiiation.
Hon James Tcrfmritlgc, Pre3’t ofthe Senate.
Sin—Unwilling to retard the business of
the hon. the Senate by any thing that cori-
cernsnie individually, I have upoti mature
reflection concluded to waive the indulgence
granted me to appear before the Senate by
counsel. Ido this from the conviction that
the honorable body over which you preside, is
fully competent to decide on the merits ofiny
case, as justice may require,without the agen-
cy of counsel. At the same time, permit me
to request you to inform the Senate, that I
hereby resign my seat as a member of that
body. I have the honor to he very respect.
fully, your ob’t. serv’t. J. WARD.
In this dexterous tnanmuvre, ll0“'eVFrf, the
horiorablc man ofscrtp only partially succeed-
ed, as the Senate resolved one and all, that at
least the first resolution sribuiitted by the coni-
inittce (inserted in our last) should be taken
up and acted upon, before the wily resigna-
tion should bc looked at. This was accord-
ingly done. and the said resolution ofcensure
passed unai1i7nously.—./Jlbaiiy Patriot.

Gen. Ja.c7tson.—-—Tlie Convention which
lately sat at Harrisburg in Pennsylvania, for
the purpose of nominating a caiidirlato for
Governor, unanimously recorntrieiided Mr.
Scliulze,the present incumbent, for re-eleo
tioii. They with equal unanimity, or at least
by a vote oflO5 to 1'9 refused to adopt the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That our rzorifirlcnce in the pat-
riotism. talents and inflexible integrity of
General Andrew Jackson, IS unimpaired :-
aiitl that his condtict during the pendency of,
and after, the late election ofPrr-siden: ot the
United States is deserving the utiqiialifted up»
probation of the Ariierican people.
This is a iriost ominous refusal, when it is
considered that Penrisylvaiii.-.i was looked to
as the back-hone ofthe Jackson party; and
when a mere expression relative to the past,
and not even a hint as to the future, was all
that was asked. This is an indication con-
firming many others,th:it however ftir a time,
the glare ofinilitary renown may hewilder, it
cannot long mislead, a sober and discreet pop-
rilatiou. The Vice President will doubtless
appear to be much disappointed at this result.
tliougu perhaps if it were given to read the
hearts of men, there might be found lurking
in his, certain glad btit secret hopes, that the
military chit-ltain being put aside by the peo-
ple, he, the Vice President may become the
rallying candidate ofthe discontented. We
cannot wish him a more uncomfortable or
hopeless part, nor to the aduiiiiistrsition a
‘more profitable opponent.—.N’. Y. ./Imerican

PARIS, January 10.
Very unfavourable intelligence arrived at
Paris yesterday from St. Petersburg. On
the Qdtli tilt. the nianife:~to of .'V'it.‘-110108 1- W215
published. It explains clearly. H|Nl_'"_d*3lé“l.
the account ofConstantiiie’s t‘emI|tC|il'|0I1 3"
and the acts, which set it furtlt, are annexed
at full length. On the saiue day the regi-
ments of the Guards were to have taken the
oath. At 11 o’clock iii the morning some
kept backward, although most of them were
ready. It was soon asceflilllltiil the Moscow
regiment made difficulties. Two eompaiiies
of-Grenadicrs of that regiment went. out of
their barracks with the color, and proclaimed
Coiistantinel. This troop proceeded to the
place Isaac, where it was soon auflmented by
a party of the dregs of the populace. 501118
soldiers and inarines ofthe gtlat"l3- NO other
corps took part in the sedition, anti it appears
that the number of rebels did not exceed 2000
men. Gen. Milaradovitch went to the Place
to liararigoe the rebels; but at that ‘instant a
man fired a pistol at him, and he died a few
hours alter.
The Emperor liiinselfappeared unarmed,
and endeavored in vain to quell the mutiny.
At length, finding all iriild means fruitless. $1.
afterliaviiig uselessly explained the circum-
stances of Constantine’s renunciation, he was
forced to cause troops and‘ caunonto comr-
up. The rebels formed themselves into a
square battalion, and hat] the audacity to fire
first, but were soon dispersed and pursued in
all dtrecti0ttS- The nitiiiber of killed is coin-
piitetl at 9200. Al six o’cloclt order was re-
stored ; nevertheless the troops which remain
ed faithful, (and they formed the greater part)
liivoiiacked all night rottnd the Palace. The
Grand Dtike Micliacl who had arrived at St.
Petersburg at the moment oftht-. tuiiitilt, suc-
ceeded iii bringing toduty the six companies
of the .\'loscow regiment who did not take
part in the revolt, but had refused to take the
oath ; and conducted them to the aid of his
brother. Gen Fridericks and Gen. Scbens-
chiii, were wounded. The Emperor, who
tiirougliout the day displayed the rnnst noble
character, reviewed the troops on the follow
ing day, (l)ec.27.) Tlicniariries of the Guards
iiizinifested the greatest repeiiteucc 8% obtain
ed their pardon ; but several «‘~fiicers were ar-
rested. During four hours which were pas-
scd in par-lying before it was determined to
employ force, the riuriibcr of the rebels aug-
mented very little; and it is most probable
that the greater part were rather misled than
purpose of protecting and encouraging do- (culpable.
Cuf)a.—l3very thing scents to indicate a
speedy descent tipon Cuba from the Spanish
Main, and should the invasion take place, the
soil ofthat Island will switti with blood. The
Spaniards are pretty iveli prepared for the
onset ; and this last refuge of Spanish power
in the new VVorld, will not be surrendered
without a struggle. The time was, when the
island might have been ours. Five years ago
(though the fact is not generally known,) the.
Spanish government offered to extend to the
citizeiis ofthe United States, all the rights,
privileges and imuiunities of Spanish citizens
in Cuba, in consideration ofa guarantee fin.
us ofthe island to her for the space of twenty-
one years. It would have been of vast im-
portaiir-.e to us during that period, at the end
of which it would have in fact become an A-
merican island, and fallen into our hands of
course. But it is now too late. It will be
wrestcd from Spain by otliers.-—.vV. Y. Spec
From the .N'ational Gazette.
VVe have received papers of the Mexican
capital rlowri to the 229th of J:'llll.I€l|’_y, {ind the
Alvarado Mcrcurio to the 9th tilt. It is sug-
gested in them that the Colombian govern-
ment could not have invited the British cabi-
net to send an agent to the Congress ofPana-
ma; a circumstance wliich liad been stated
in the Paris niinisterial journals. The tone
of the Mexican writers on the siilijr-ct is
strong. They assert that Great Britain has
nothing-I-.to with the objects of the Congress;
and deny that Colombia has any right to take
the lead, or act without the concurrence of
the other‘st-ates.
But the article most worthy of notice isthe
following contained in the Agtiila Mexicano,
“ It is said, very generally, that the Senate
has agreed to authorise the Executive govern-
ment of the Union to join with the Republic
of Colombia, in assisting the inhabitants of
Cuba to achieve their iridepeiideuce. This
measure does honor to the Senate, and is stif-
ficicnt. ofitself, to stir the fire ofliberty which
is clierished in the bosotiis of the inhabitants
ofCuba, and to strike their oppressors with
te.ml-. It appeared to be full time for the
Congress of Mexico to give such authority to
the Executive, as would enable it to frtisirate
in the most prudent bx. sensible manner, those
«cherries of aggression, which may be formed
-,.ga‘msr America by her odious enemies, and
of which the island of Cuba will be the fol-
crum. Four l.ll0US‘.ill(l men have just arrived
at the island, and more troops‘ may success
ively arrive to the point of exciting disquie-
tiide in our continent. This alfair of Cuba is
one of the most delicate which we have to
handle in the present state ofthe political re-
generation of America. It is of such a nature
in our opinion, that it atluiits ofno co'uiprom-
is-c. The Spaniards must either evacuate the
island, or war must be intermiiiable. The

Black liuc/c Harbour.-—This “ splendid
work,” sustairied some injury on Saturday
night last. The ice at that time, by means of
a high wind, was driven against the tittlside
ofthe pier, in passing down the river, with
such force as to shatter and injure upwards of
50 rods of the work. The strong dove-tail
work which secured the timbers, at the cor-
tiers of each crib, yielded to the pressure,and
while the bottom remained firm, the upper
part of ea_ch block was lifted from the parts
below. There are upwards of 30 ofthe cribs
which have been thus horizontally parted,
upon the outside ; and in some instances tim-
bers a foot in thickness and 910 feet in length,
were split from end to end, and the fragments
thrown upon the top ofthe remaining works.
The cribs are parted at distances varying fr.
one to four feet from the top of the work.-
Iii some insiaiices sticks ofthe timber corri-
posing the work were driven out ofthe fis-
sures below the raised parts, 8:. floated away ;
and riiiicli ofthe stone, which filled the pier,
escaped at the openings thus made. The
whole harbour is now full ofice, but we pro-
sume the repairs will be commenced as soon
as the elements will permit.
NORFOLK, March 6.
flnolfler “ Bloody Bzt~.s‘iness.”-—Lieut. VVm.
T 150111410. Of the Marine Corps, attached to
.Vlajor Auderson’s command, at the Gospcrt
Navy Yard, was killed by a pistol shot, on
‘(Saturday morning last, near the. footbridge
between the Maritie Barracks and the Hospi-
tal. From the evidence given in at the Iii-
qiiest held over the body, &.frotii other sources
we are enabled to state the following par-ticu
lars t‘«'Sl)CCllllg this shocking occurrence. Be-
tween the deceased and Lieut. Smith, of the
same corps, a fetid had for sortie time existed,
originating in some bickeririgs uponvpoiuts of
duty, which would have resulted in a duel in
the e:1.l_v stage Of ll but for the prompt inter-
tereiice oftheir conirnaiiding officer. Their
ariimosity, however, appears to have heen so
deep rooted that neither this check, nor the
renioiistrauces of their friends could incline
tlieiri to a f8C0llClllilll()ll. Orders were there
fore given to the guards to report to the oflicer
in comtuaiid every suspiciotis moveineiit of
these misguided young men, from which the
intention of a reiicoiitre might be inferred.-—
Act:oi'dirigly onSaturday morning last,shortly
after day break, the Sergeant of the guard re-
ported to Captain Linton. the officer on duty,
that Lietits. Smith and Botiriic were seen a
tow rninutes_ before to leave the. barracks to-
gotll“r, upon which Capt. L. ordered him to
take a file of men and go in quest oftheiu, a-
cross the loot bridge, and at the same time do-
spatchctl scouts in other directions, with his
utders for the absentees to return immediate-
ly 9.0 their quarters. The party sent in the
direction ofthe foot bridge, proceeded as far
as the hospital, distant about a quarter of a
mile, witliotit seeing the object or their search,
an-.l were on their return uhen they were
startled by the reports oftwo pistols, as near
together as possible, within torty paces o.
[lt(:’ll]. They rushed to the spot, and betield
Lieut. Bourne lying on his back and the blood
flowing frotii a wound in his side, and near
him stood Lieutenant Smith, with a pistol, in
his hand, a similar one lying on the ground by
Lieut. Botiriie. On the appearance of the
sergeant and his men, Lieutenant Smith took
up the other pistol, and handtn_g both to the
sergeant desired him to carry them to the bar-
racks. He then turned away and proceeded
in the direction ofthe barracks himself, while
the tnen slowly followed, bearing Lieiitenarit
Botirne, who still survived, though unable to
speak. As they entered the barraclts. they
iuet Smith coming out, who inquired where
Lieut. Bouriie was shot ? and learning that
the ball had entered about tivo inches below
the left breast he hurried away. \\'e under.
stand he cauic directly to Norlolk, and is re
ported to have taken passage iti one ofthe N.
York packets, which sailed on Saturday after-
noon ; httt we have coiiversed with a gentle-
man, who assured us that he crossed over to
Hampton, where he hired a horse and gig and
proceeded on to York. Bourne survived only
an hour after he was carried to the barracks.
On account of the absence of the Coroner the
inquest was not convened until yesterday.——
Their verdict was, that the deceased came to
his death by a pistol shot fired by Constantine
Smith. It is the general belief that they
tought without seconds ; but the sergeant in
his testimony before the Inquest, stated that
he saw two men, as he came up, hurrying a’
way through the bushes, and soon after heard
the rattling ofcarriage wheels, which renders
it probable that they were dtily provided in
this particular. We understand that Lieut.
Bouriie was the challenger.
Physical Phenomena.--The Peoples’ Friend
printed at Little Falls,states that a young man
of the name ofDavenport, rt resident of West
Brunswick in Herkitner County, who was a
lion! 19 years of age, was returning from his
days work apparently in usual health on the
evening of'I‘liursday the 9th ult. but was deatl
(or foiiud with all the sigiis ofdeatli,) the next
morning, in the road, about 100 rods from his
father’s llottse. On the nth, a Coroner’s in
quest was called, who pronounced the cause
of his death riiiknowii. From this time, the
body was observed to discover various signs
of gradually returning life, and after the full-
eral ceremonies on the lflth, the coffin being
opened for the view of the spectators, tiie
corpse presented :1 most unusual appearance;
the colour had returned to the cheeks-—-tlie
countenance like tihatofa person in it quiet
sleep—and large drops ofsweat tvere stand
ing on the forehead !» The young man’s fat-
thcr refused to have him buried——pliysit-.ians
were called and several cxpcriinerits were tri-
ed, in the hope of restoring the vital spark-
all however proved unavailiug, SI. after keep-
ing him till Ttiesdziy the l-Lth ult. the body
was committed to the grave.
The editor of the New York Advocate adds
to the notice of this case, that the Rev. Mr.
Tenant, ofNew Jersey, many years ago. Put
on a similar appearance, and his friends kept
him nine days, delaying, from d ay to day» ill“
funeral, and making experiments to recusitatr:
him. One of the physicians pet‘S6V8-'8(l in
his efforts, and entreated the family to permit
himto proceed ; and finally he begged tlierii
to allow bnt15 iuiiiutes longer, audio that
time Mr. '1‘. revived, after which he lived
many years.

Frzdoy, March 3.—Tlie Senate went into
coiisideratioti ofExecutive business within 10
minutes from the time of meeting. When‘
the motion was made, the Vice President
sttggested to the mover the propriety of de-
laying it until the ordinary business of the
day was coinpletetl ; upon which Mr. Bell re-
marked, that there were questions of great
public iuiportarice, of an Executive charac-
ter, pending before them-——more iuiportant
than the common subjects which are usually
acted on in their Legislative capacity; and

a work would be. In the rvliole route, the
