The steamship Bultic 18 fully due, and may be expected atany moment. experienced very severe weather. week’s later news. She brings one Approaching Session of the Legtslature— ‘Things to be Done, . On the first Tuesday in January, the Legisla- ture of this State will commence busiuess at Al- bany. They will proceed, in the firet place, to elect a Spea) sof the Assembly. This will be an importan( point, and one in which the metropolis is hkely to take more than ordiaary interest. We have already urged, more than once, the fairaess which would be exhibited by the country members of the Assembly, in electing a city man to that important position. It is not perhaps of much consideration who he may be. We have advocated the choice of Mr. Henry, Ray- J. Raymond, particularly as he is not likely to ex- cite so much jealousy as an older and more de- signing pohtician. We trust that he will com- mand the vote of every rational man in the As- sembly Thurlow Weed and his associates, we believe, appreciate Mr. Raymond's qualitications; and es the Assembly is two-thirds whig, and this part almost wholly devoted to the desires ot the Weed regency, we think there is no fear but that we shall be able to congratulate the city, at last, on that success in obtaining a Speaker which has long been desired, and which, in case of a tie vote—say, for instance, on the free school law—wonld le: d to a happy result for the metro- polis. No other candidate has been named, and we feel perfectly sanguine of success. Among the measures which will come before the Legislature at the approaching session, are several, besides the free school law, to which it is not inappropriate, in reference to the election of a Speaker, to advert et this time. One of these is the consideration of the numerous suggestions and plans appertaining to internal improvements, upon which legislation s-ems to be demanded, that there may be @ completion of various State works of vast public importance. To this subject it is Tequisite that the collected wisdom of the State should be directed with becoming sagacity and promptiiade, that we may epjoy all the benefits to be derived from such enterprises. Another very interesting subject, should the new census come before the Legislature, will be the apportionment of the Congressional districts. These, in former eonsti'utional periods, has been as follows :— 'T— Six re presentatives. 0—Trn representatives. “ 1850— Forty representatives ~ 1840— Thirty-four representatives. “ 1860—Probably thirty two reprerentatives. These are to be two hundred and thirty-three representatives, to be divided among the entire population, or one to every ninety-five thousand of inhabitante—so that the State will be entitled to | thirty. two, or, poswibly, thirty-three representa- tives. The ratio, under the census of 1840, was one representative for every seventy-thousand six bundred and eighty inhabitan's, as established by law. The apportionments of the Congressional dietricts will thus be a matter of great public inte- rest, to which it is almost unnecessary to direct attention. So much political power is connected with any change of this kind, that unusual inte- rest will be excited when the subject comes before the authorities of the State. There as still another topic of deep importance, which should not be lost sight of at the present This metropolis, hitherto, has borne an undue proportion of the State taxes; and accord- ingly there hes been much dissatisfaction ex- pressed at the operation of laws which are so un- equal and oppressive An equalization of taxes is absolutely essential to the peace and prosperity of the State, and itis te be hoped that such « course will be taken as wall show a decided improvement in this particular. However, with the justice of eersion electing a Speaker from the city, we hope other | good fechogs will prevail, aod that the metropolis will have ao reason to complain of the rural die tricte. Barsanove Treatment vo Seamstaessrs. ~ Wuhin two or three months, the police records have shown comp aints sgainet two or three dif- ferent employers, which ought not to be passed over i silence. It appears that many of those poor, but honest and industrious girla, who make shirts for the meagre pittance of two or three shillings, have been obliged to deposit with their employers | one dollar en each occasion, when they have takea away the materials of the garment to be made up. After working night and day, faithfully and well, with the hope of adding a few shillings to their limuted savings, or to the only dollar they pos versed, on returning to their employera, they have been told that their work has not been well done— that the materials have been spoiled—amd that the | dollar must be retained in consideration of the damage Were this barbarous conduct an isolated in- stence, we might pars it over as the bratality of punctions ef conscience in living upon the misery d miefortane of @ feillow-creature ; but we have a number of reaso for believing that thie deposit system-—-very proper, perhaps, in iweliis thus mede the means of obisiving a speedy profit upon raw materials, by making a market at will, Han- dreds of instances of this kind, we are satisfied, can be exposed, if neceesary; but we hope that the cases which have already come betore the police will be sufficient © cure the evil Should other cases occur Of this, or of a similar, character, we advise the parties, in ev insianee, to proceed at once to the Police Office, aud thos foree the vane pires on honest labor to diegorge their ill-gotten treasure.

This letter, we have reason to know, is incorrect in all its particu- lars. In referring to the Clayton and Bulwer and the Squier. treaties, it says thet the latter **was eon- cluded after the former was signed and ratified,” which is not true. Mr. Squier’s treaty, which was negotiated in strict conformity with Gen. Tuylor’s instructions, was signed Sept. 3, 1819, and the Clayton and Bulwer treaty’ on the 19th of Agril, | 1850, and efter the former had been approved | by the government and submitted to the Senate.

We trust it will receive the immediate atten- tion of the Senate, and that our faith to Nicaragua will be preserved inviolate.
