The war upon the administration has commenced. Mr. Clemens’s resolution, in relation to California, was Juid on the table by the easting vote of the Vice President. The South will insist on the informa- tion, as they believe the State of Californiaa fraud. Mr. Di eou’s resolution, asking the Postmase ter General to explain his proscription, raised the question whether the President or the Capinet have made the appointments. The whigs consider it an insult upon the President, and that all resolu- tions }eepecting appointments should be addressed to him; the resolution hes ever, and will, probably, ~~ AMUSEMENTS THIS ITALIAN OPERA HOUSE, apr Placo—As You Laxe Br— EB. icin D Amone, ROW SKY THEATRE, Bowsry—Txexe Mvsunrmens— Brive Bean, BROADWAY THEATA®, Broadway— GARDEN-M. aus.

On the Austrian resolution, Mr. Hale made a sar. | eastic reply to Mr. Cass, strongly mixed up with abolitionism and the slave trade in this distriot. Mr. Clay followed, in opposition to the resolution, on | the ex: et grounds fore-shadowed in one of our de- spatches last week. He made a powerful speech The resolution will probably be referred, but the discussion will do good in Europe. 1t comes up again to-morrow. Mr. Webster is supposed to be hostile to the resoluiion, netwithstanding his Bos- ton speech. The passage of Mr. Houston’s reso- | unon will, doubtless, furnish important in- formation concerning the Texas boundary. Mr. Benton proposes to pay Texas for surrendering the disputed territory—a plan suggested by Texas herself. Its adoption would settle the first diffi- culty, but would add greatly to the necessity of a loan. The second difficulty is the proviso; we expect that to go to General Taylor, and that an explosion of the cabinet will follow. The election of Forney, the democratic nomi- nee, as Clerk ef the House, 1s beeoming doubifal ; if the democrats are not sharp, the whigs will elect a clerk. THIR1IY-FIRST CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. —Kovrsrna® Exe norira New York, Tuesday, January 8, 1950. son Convelie Mayor Wood- 's Messages Our readers will find in another column a fall eecount of the proceedings attending the organi- ation of the new Common Council of this ,city yesterday, and also the message of Mayor Wood- huil to that body Mayor Woodh b giving usa full statement of the amount of the city indebted- ness, which he says, with, the present rate of re- demption, will be fully discharged im thirty-five | years, is composed of a number of suggestions— some of which are very good, and some of which are extremely uuw The former we hope to see carried out; the latter we expect to see con- demned by ull classes of the community. Among | the former is, that appheation should be made to the Legislature for authority to tax the property of non-residents. This isa subject which we have frequently referred to, and is one that demands the pmmediate attention of the Common Council. Un- der the present system of taxation, as we have re- peatedly stated, a direct and pecuniary Iuducement is held out to parties transacting business in this metropolis, to reside without its limits; for by doing so, they will avoid assessments and obtain advantages which they would not possess if residents within the city. Mr. Woodhull’s sug: Zestions in regard to the mode in which assess- ments are made, are also entitled to consideration, and we hope will be acted upon at anearly day. The present mode is defective, uncertain, and une- Wne New Com message, beside , Jan, 7, 1850.

We shall see what course wil be followed in this matter. The above are the most important and prominent of the valuable suggestions coutained in Mayor | Woodhull’s message, and submitted by him to the new Common Council yesterday. The most pro- munent of the bad ones is the recommendation to the Common Council of the prosecution and en- largement of the Battery—an avsurd and ridiculous project, which was set on foot, a year or two since, for the benefit of a few interested persons, who, in advocating it, care nothing about the immense ex- pense which it must inevitably entail on the city, but merely have in view their owa private advan- tage The arguments on which Mr, Woodhull seems to bavellis recommendation, t worthy of a moment's consideration.

We are informed, ia a few words, by the Comptroller, in this able document, tirat the financial condition of the State is 1a a high degree prosperous and encouraging. The publie credit, he says, is untarnished, and our public securities. command ap unusual preminm at home and abroad. Internal improvements yield a handsome revenue. The school fund is amply large enough for the dispensation of knowledge for all time to come, and the revenue forthe past yeat was more thaw was required for the expeaditures. Such is the present condition of the great State of New York, unrivalled for its prosperity—for the magnitude and importance of its public improve- ments—for the intelligence and energy of its peo- ple—for its prosperity—and at this particular june ture, we may add, for ita devotion to the great confederacy of which it 18 a member. Let our fanaties telk as mach as they please about the hor- rors and inhumanity of slavery—let them threaten much as they please about dissolving the Union —let them declaim until they are hoarse about the social institutions of the South—there is nota people in the republic who are more devoted to the integrity of the Union, or more ready to rise ia its defence, if unfortunately it shoald ever be assailed, than the people of this the Empire State. The State of New York, however, 13 only in its infancy. Its agricultural, mineral, and manufac- turing resources are not yet half developed. When they are made as much of as possible, New York will be a much greater State than it isnow. But independent of these resources, her greatness must grow with the rapid increase and growth ~* the Western States, and, above all, city m particular, will ex»and and become greater when the connection between the Atlantic and the Pacifie oceans, by railroads and ship canals, shall have been finished. As soon as those great werka: are finished, the whole trase of the East will be revolutionized, and New York, from its geographi- cal position, must inevitably become the seat of commerce and ot the money power of the world. As itis, such a degree of greatness as the State of New York has reached in such a comparatively short space of (me, c.unot but excite wonder and adnuration.
