In the Assembly to-day, after the reception of pe- titions, of which there wasa great number, had been got through with, Mr. Cuvier moved for the con- sideration of the resolution introduced by him on Saturday, in relation to the redemption of the notes of broken banks, and the House refused. Mr. Grovr, pursuant to previous notice, brought in a bill further to amend the acts of 1830 and 1832, for the better security of mechanics and others erecting buildinsg in the city of New York, and which is, by the bill preposed, to be extended to the city of Brooklyn. Mr. G. remarked that this bill would carry out the suggestion made by the Chancellor in the case of Donaldson vs. Wood, in the Court for the Correction of Errors,held in Dee. °39 (See 22, Wendell, p. 399,) which was that the workmen of the sub-contractor should have the same fien upon the original contractor which the workmen ef the original contractor now have upon the owner of the building. This, in the opinion of the Chancellor “ would be strictly in accordance with the principle of equitable lien, or privileged claim, against the fund belonging to the debtor, which has been adopted by the present statutes.” Mr. G. desired to call attention to the provisions of this bill, and believed that the equity of its pro- visions would secure safe an?@ spe ssage through the House. peedy passag: Mr. Loomis ¢alled for tke cor resolution for holding efternoon after Monday the 28:h, and it w: Mr. SwackHAaMER submitte: quiring the ious incorporated rai canal companies, to whom the credit of the state had been loaned, to make to the legislature a report of their affairs. Mr. Hatuaway gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill in relation to the Chemung Canal and feeder. Mr. Seysour gave notice of his intention to in- troduce x b,jl restricting the liabilities of the banks contributing to the eafety fund. ‘The House, in committee of the whole, then re- sumed the consideration of the one day election law. After several amendments, Mr. ph leaps objected to the power being vested in the board of inspectors to commit a person to jail for thirty days, who shall in their sight or heaping disturb the publ ¢ peace. He said it was now well known that inspectors fof election were generall: politieians, and their jadgment might be perverted by their po- litical predilections, and he did not, therefore, think it right that they should be entrusted with this power. He oftered an amendment tothe effect that they might only be allowed to commit a man for trial, which, as modified by the Speaker, was adopted. Vari endments were then pro- esed. were adopted, and others rejected ; at they mainly related to the phra: r of the bill, or to making the provisions of the sections in consonance with previous amendments. After a long discussion the committee rose and reported rogress. A meee was received from the ate, informing the House that they had concur- red in certain bills. By unanimous consent Mr, Buanaam reported a bill in relation to collection of taxes in the city of Albany, and the House ad- journed. . ‘ Mr. Horrmax has not been in his seat during the last three or four days, at least during this debate on the election law. It is understood that he is busily en, d as Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, in preparing a report and bill on the Comptroller’s report, whic. will express and fully develope the views of the majority, iu relation to public imprevements, and the policy of the state on that subject. x 4 Mr, Weir has introduced a bill to relieve the theatres from the onerous tax which they are now yearly obliged to pay to the Society for the pun- ishment, &c. of juvenile delinquents. T! tainly a just propositice ; and 1 am dis think the House will treat it favorably. been referred to the State Prison Commitiee, af which Mr. W. is chairman. In answer toa communication fromthe House, the following report was reeeived from the Compt- roller to-day: Comrrrour: To tHe Assempty The Comptroller on a reference from the Assembly of the petitien and an act to loan money to the trustees of the Groton Acacemy, respectfully reports :—That there is no money which can be applied to the object referred to, without incr ge tho embarrassment of the ‘reasury. There nominally in the Treasury $14918 “14, of Scheel Fund capital; there is also nominally in the Treasury belon; ng to the Canal fund $239,495 16, and nearly os much belonging to other funds, but there is no money in the Treasury to repre- sent these largesums, and they ere only evidences of debts against the Treasury or General Fund. The true conditio1 the Treasury and of those funds, is shown in a statement a tothe communication from this office on the 151! . Instead of having money to lend for any object, the Treasury must increase its rowings in erder to meet the es, expenses of the Government. Respectfully submitt A. C. FLAGG. By the annual report relative to the Institution for the instruction of the ff and Dumb, it ap- re that during the year thircy-six pupils have bed received, and twenty-six left; leaving in the institation on the 3ist day of December, 1841, one hundred and sixty-two pupile, being an increase of ten onthe bers returned last year, anda greater number, with a single exception, than has been em- braced.in any previouscatalogue. During the past ear, the receipts of the socie'y, from every source including the balance of $6,050 64, in the treasu- rer’s hands at the close ofthe year 184), amount to $83,451 91; and the disbursements, during the same period, to 70; leaving on the 3ist day of December, 1841, in the hands of the treasurcr, a balance of $1,090 21. Inthe Sénate, several petitions were received in relation to assessments in the city of New Yorn. After some little attention to business, the talking in relation to the repudiation resolutions was re- Mr. Paige addressed the Senate on the If for no other reason than to effect a ‘ ving of time, this question should now be repu- jiated. It is understood, that the loan authorized for the completion of the {Chemung canal and feeder, has been negotiated. The bill, it will be remembered, authorizes $150,000 to be raised on q six per cent stock. The City Bank of Albany, is reported to have taken it atthis rate. This certainly indicates a returning of confidence. The Albany Batgesses Corps, a spirited inde- pendent corps, give a grand bail to-morrow even- ing, in honer of the anniversary of the birth of George Washington. From the indications, it will be a great affair, as their previovs ones has always been. The cheek apronites, too, are determined to celebrate the occasion with a “grand fanc; ball,” at the Law Buildings. In order to enable it off with greatereciat, the celebrated “ North boatmen,” has been engaged. Cave Utcisean. Orrice, Albany, Feb. 21, 1842. Baltimore, [Correspondence of the Herald.)

Dear Gonvon :— ‘The advantages presumed upon and incident to the late enactment of the General Bankrupt Laws eagerly embraced by a large class of delinquents in our city; some of whom “pair,” and live in stately columned edifices, faring sumptuously every day. Now there i le objection to this wholesale, ready r of discharging one’s obligations, pro- vided the bneficiare will thereafter regard himself as only equal to his companions ia absolule poverty. But this they do not nor will not do. The same kind of style to which they have been accustomed in their habite of living must be supported, no mat- ter at whose cost or at what sacrifice. Upon this ground, it is at least debateable, and falls short of the intent and meaning of the act. Our city affaire remain quite passive. The Rev. Mr. Pinney is here, kicking up a dust among the Christians. He is indi ed to defile himself by the least association with the impenitent. His elequence finds cufficient sea-room among profe: ing ehristiens—whom he charges with inconsis- tency and want of devotion. His labors meet with but poor encouragement in our churches. Their congregations number too many unsteady ones, financiers and apeculators, heir respective list: They turn a deaf ear to arrangues and posi ipjunetions. i Our theatre is nightly crammed, to witness the n of “ Aladdin,” which has been got in a superior style, and at meuch oost.

Janes Gorpon Bennett, Dear Siz,— 1am a constant reader of your valuable and truly independent paper, which, for variety of matter, able, high-minded, and spirited, far surpatses any inthe Union. The moral and political influence which it wields over the people of this great nation is destined to herald your memory to “ genesa tions yet unborn,” whose cities are tostud Sof he wide rolling Pacific ; and cause your |ife, cha- racter and course, to be held up, in your own da as one who has done more towards the reformation of public morals, religion, politics and the press, than a thousand other men who have spoken from ‘high places.” I invoke you to persevere in your straight forward course,and a name awaits you, and a chaplet, which even Charles Dickeas may envy. Although your correspondents are numerous, and hail from all parts of the country, I have never known one to write from this most highly favored place, and it has occurred to me that it would not be amiss te let you know, that even in this part of the Old Dominion, your merits are appreciated, and the Herald sought after and read with avidity. Winchester is like most other inland towns of the same population [viz. 4 or 5,000] We have our banks, financiers, lawyers, doctors, politicians, di- vines, phrenologists, lecturers, and’ great men of all sorta, with plenty of pretty women ; besides an as- eortment of literary and tee-total societies, and the usual quantity of gossip, ders, dandies and flirts—both whig, democratic, and conservative. In fine, we have all the necessary material of a town in the state of abstractionists. Allow me, this time, to say a few words in rela- tion to a regular course of lectures now being deli- vered here, at the rate of one per fortnight. me twelve months since a literary society was formed here, bya gentlemen of your city, the agent for the National and Parent Society, under the name and title of the Winchester Lyceum. The society does not, at present, boast of many members ; but it is in & progressive state, and its prospects are somewhat flattering, wupported as it is, by nearly a'l the litera- tiofthe place. The first lecture, called the “ intro- ductory” one, came off in January last, and was de- livered by the President, the Rev. Mr. A. It gave @ general history of all the periodicals of note, and as far as my capability will allow me to judge, was an able, correct, and interesting document, giving entire satisfaction to the Rev Cua audience. The second lecturer was Mr. T., a young lawyer of no mean talent, who promises, at some future day, to be a gentleman of note. His subject was “ The Abuses and Corruptions of Learning,” which he handled beautifuliy, displaying a depth of research and refinement of taste, that captivated his heare: and won praises for himself. The only ohjection! have heard to this lecture was its breviiy, a most ob- jectionable objection to lecturers tn general, and I should think, to certafa ones in particular.— The ext one in order was P. W. W., Jun. Esq, a lawyer, too, and one of note, with e large and lucrative practice. His subject was “The life and times of OliverCromwell.” It was quite an inter- esting thread of incidetts; ora very pretty compi- ion of events, just, maybe, alittie too long for those who were not fond of history. But lastnight we had “one grand” lecture, and the fourth one. The subject was “Poetry, Painti Th turer, Dr. T. is principal of a female nary, and in connection with his beautiful and ac- complished lady, is celebrated for “teaching the oung idea how to shoot.” But in the capacity of Tectaree, I fear the Doctor has ; I know not bi rou conduc mething very solemn in all this, and I havea ity to knew if such is the fashion witb the present society in your city.

Sr. Aw Accovyt or Tat Inp1ans.—Few of our c zens know that we live nearer to civilized Indians than almost avy other section of the United States. Thecuntry owned by the Choctaws extends trom the Arkansas to Red River commencing at Fort Smith,and running up the Arkansas to the Ca dian, to the limits of the United States, and with said limits to Red River, down Red River to, where a due south line with Fort Smith from the Stateline of Arkansas strikes Red River. The Choctaws number about fifteen thousand, and are unquestion- ably highiy advanced in crvilization. The consti- tution upon which their laws are based has been printed in Engtish and Choctaw, and circulated through the nation. Their government is systema tic and regularly organized in the Democratic form. It consists ofa council of forty members Theter- ritory being divided into four distriets, each dis trict elects representatives as we do in proportion to the amount of their population. Each of the four districts havea chi ly om the generally day in October, andis about two weeks.

Jt is curious how beauti fully Republican this one fact makes the govern- ment he people are left with the largest limit of power, and it is their loss if ower 1s not hon: estly exercised. For the arbitration of civil mat- ters, and the trial of criminals, there exists in forma judicial system; judges are appointed by the legislature, and they held their courts at stated pe- riods. The judicial system is, with some excep- tions, very similar to the codes of muny of our States. ‘The cotton produeed by the Choctaw planters on Red River will amount this year to o one thou- sand bales. There are seven cotton gi the na- tion with a prespect of a rapid increase ; and on Red River, there are several grist and saw mille. On Bagy about fifteen miles from Red River, very intelligent Choctaw of the name ef Col. David Folsom has very excellent salt works, which sup- plyeven Texas planters with a large quantity of salt. There are eight er ten blacksmith shops, four of whieh have blacksmiths furnished under treaty stipulat the rest, open principally in the ploughing s , are worked by uatives. The schools of the Choctaws are well attended and an ambitious rivalry exists among their pupils By our treaty stipulations, the United Siates have expended, from the date of the first treaty with them, (January 20th, 1825,) to that of the two last, (September 27th, 1830,) the sum of $20,500 ; $2 500 is sum was appropriated to the general schools tion; ani the $18,000 dedicated to the mbly meets erected by y jient rooms for committees, at every step. The rude wigwam is gone, b seen neat and comfortab! the matrons sewing, spi around them lar, plan ‘atio yum p , potatoes, and great varieties of veg les. There have been lately erected several splen- did mansions entirely by native mechanics, and they are now filled and adorned with all fashiona- ble furniture. It must be pleasing to all our citizens to behold this advanced state of society among the Indians of their border country. To every one indeed under the American flag, it will be highly interesting.
