There was not a sylla- ble of complaint uttered against the regime of the last year. We think it has been customary in the asso- ciation for the nominating committee to make outa ticket for the next year, with the names of thoee who have faithfully served the institution in the past, as a reward for their services, and as a mark of confidence in their integrity. The nomi- nating committee, this year, for some special reason of their own, have deviated from this course, though the annual meeting passed & unanimous vote of confidence in the offi- cers who served for the year 1850. The only reason that can be divined for this proceeding is one, we regret to say, that is founded in bigotry— a feeling that ought never to find its way intoa popular association in a country where liber- ality is the presiding genius of every institution. A strong opposition has been organized against the ticket ef the nominating committee, and a | ticket has been made out, composed chiefly of the members of the former board and the officers of the last year. This ticket 1s called “ The Uaion Ticket,” and the committee of gentlemea who Mover eta. MUSBUM—Amusine Penvonmancus Asran- woon ap EVENING. NSW YORK AMPHITHRATRE, 37 Bewory—Byvesraiss Pu. voumances.

New York, Tuesday, January <1, 1851, Telegraphic Summary. lf the proceedings of Congress yesterday are a criterion of what that august body of legislators datend to do dumng the present session, we should say that there is not much prospect of the important bueiness uow awaiting levislation being disposed of before the adjournment. It is to be hoped, how- ever, that this hide and go seek amusement will not be indulged in much longer. There are some thirty-six working days yet left, and if members will only devote their attemtion to the business before them, they will be able to get through with | the whole of it easily. They cannot expect to do #0, however, if they waste their time as they did yesterday. The most important business in the Senate yes terday was the reference of the Postage Reform bill, reeently passed by the House, to the appropri- ate committee. The eternal French Spoliation bill occupied a great portion of the day. Mr. Clay in- troduced a reselution instructing the Committee oa Commerce to inquire into the expediency of further legislation, so as to preveut the employment of Amencan vessels and American seamen in the African slave irade relerring to was done. We perceive that the Legislature of Pennsyiva- nia wish Cengress to adopt the money order sys- ‘em of the Englich post office. That system works well in Engand, according to all accounts; and, from what we have heard of it, we have no dof: that it could be very advantageously incorporated imto the postege bill which recently passed the House of Representatives. I: is no more nor less than this—that by depositing any sum of money in any post office, the depositer will receive a certiti- cate of deposit, payable by any deputy postmaster throughout the country. It might very properly pe introduced into the United States, and would, no doubt, be a great convenience to the community ——— Mayor Kixoszaxp anp Tux Cuzer or Porscr.— it is now nearly (wo weeks since the inauguration of Mr. Kingsland to the chief magistracy of thir city, and as yet no nomination has been made by “oa Of a Chucf of Police. By law, and vire~ -**" a. uae she office, wat SS YCT as empowered to nom... a man to 8eTv® as Chief of Police during his own term of oRice, which appointment extends to thirty days thereafter, thereby giving the choice of a chief to the newly elected Mayor. In @ large city like New York, with such a mixed population, much depends— may we not say all de- pends —on a well regulated end efficient police, that rogues may be made to feel the authority of the law, and at the same time good order be pre- served, and the lives and property of the well mean- ing portion of the community protected. Several per- sons have been mentioned as candidates for this office, of whom the most prominent are Mr. Mat- sell, the present incumbent, Mr. Stewart, the Clerk of the Police, and ex-Justice Merritt—any one of whom, we should think, would make a good chief. it is of the utmost importance, that if Mr. Kings- jend should determine upon any change, he should appoint a man to fill \he office of Chief of Police, not on political grounds, but on the ba-is of compe- tency, knowledge and experience. It is aot enough that the incumbent should b» a man of honor and imtegrity. He must be familiar with rogues, know them by sight, and be acquainted with the haunts and practices of the great criminals of the country A man of experience among criminals can, at a glance, give 2 good guess as to who committed a burglary by the manner in which it \s done. If it is done in a bungling way, such an accomplished workman as Bri-tol Bill, for instance, would never be thoug If at wae not done in a “workman- like manner,” a negro or some green hand would be set down. The haunts of such characters would then be visited, and any of them who ap- peared to have more funds than usual, would be immediately arrested. If it were done scientifical- ly, Brie:o! Bill, were be at large, would be imme- diately suepected. In many cases crime 1s disco- vered in this manner and by these means. We mention this to show how unpertant it is that the Chief of Police should bee man of great expe. rience, and #' ould be acquainted with all the bar- 4 other crimimals in the country, keep wack of them, and know where to pounce upon them. Under the present police system, burglary has sensibly diminished in New York. But it would rapidly increaee again, if the office of the Chief of Police were to be filled by a person with- out the necessary qualifications and experience ‘We trust, therefore, that if Mr. Kingsland mace upon @ change, he will not make one for t worse Taxatmryt or Seamey wy run Cartan We frequenily receive letters from seamen, cow planing o: She manner in whieh they are treated by their captains, with a request that we will pul lich them. Weeannot publish 1/226 eomtt nica sca jlone—firet, because many of the statements con- veined in them are libellous; and secondly, that, were they not libellous, we would require the best rroof of their truth. We received one of these com- munications, yesterday, ia which the writer ac ewees the captain under whom he sailed, of no; giving hic crew sufficient food, and of attacking them, on several occasions, uanecessarily, with pretele, bi spikes and ewords. All we ean soy im reference to this cnee i, that if the crew have been treated in thie meoner, a court of justice is he proper tribunal to look to for redress, and mot the newepapere While the law provides for discipline op b P, end ly punishes the erew for any vrolation of it, iC at the seme time does not overiock the rights of ce men Am; le pretestion is given to them, end our courts are al ways open to them. Jf there were a little work written on the respective rights and duties of sea men end coptaine, we have no dont it would meet with a re ale. A ch work oaght to © inthe hande of every seaman and expaia “There were 146 deaths jn Philedeldbia during the week ending the 18th just In the House, nothing worth | were appointed to make it out, submit, ia their cir- cular, that their nominations are substantially, and in point of fact, ‘* the regular nominations.” ‘The following handbil! has been circulated by , the opponents of this ticket :— canTiLe Linkal Association.-—Memp cheD will employ Jesuits to lecture at the annual course of lectures, by which means promulgating sad counte- nancing Jesuitism, Those who are opposed to the course Of the present directors wili do well to look to it, and not elect another board ajmilar to the present The meaaing of the foregoMg is, that the head of the union ticket applied to Rev. Dr. Ryder to lecture vpon Jesuitism at Clinton Hall. Who could lecture so well upon the society of Jesuits as one of its members! In fact, this interesting lec- ture twas almost the only good one im the course. It gave an admirable historical exposé of the socie ty, and set the public mind right upon many points relating to that order. There is no subject upon which so muck ignorance prevails. If the objec- tion raised to a candidate oa this ground be really sincere, Which we doubt, it is the most frivolous and absurd that was ever made against an officer , in any aszociation ; and we trust that the result of | the poll will prove that there is enough of good | sense and enlightered liberal feeling in the Asso- ciation to discountenance any and every attempt to introduce sectarian animosity ina body where only charity end kindly feelings ougut to prevail. If such a@ course is not struck om the head at the out- set, it requires no prophet to predict the speedy downfall of the Agsocietion Caro. Pree Necro Laws.—We give, in anotber column, a copy of some very interesting eorrespondence that has recently passed between | the British Consui at Colambia, South Carolina, and the Governor of that te, in reference to the law direeting that free negroes arriving in that | Stete in commercial vessels, shall be kept in con- finement until the ship’s departure. The corres- | pondence has been referred to the Legislature; but we have not heard .hat eny action has yet been taken upon it. The laws of South Carolion are very strict im reference to free negroes arriving there. {[t was found necestary to ake them so, in consequence of free negroes having tampered with the slaves oa | many oecasions, end having induced them to eseape lo the North. They were not intended, we | | presume, to apply to any but free negroes of the | North arriving in the porte of South Caroling in | | Norihera veswels; and tne ‘aw would not have been } paceeds if the" was no necessity for it. The com- | plaints of the British Consul are couched in such | language, and conceived in such a spirit, that we are | eure they will be respectfully listened to, and some | arrangement nade by which the representative of Great Britain will be satisfied. It will be recol- | lected, however, that during the excitement in Ire- land, a year or two since, the British goverament directed its agents to arrest every American in that country, !est they should tamper with the malcon- tent partion of the people, or assist them in accom- | plishing ther projected revolution. [tis the same spirit of self-preservation which dictated the pas- | sage of the laws of South Carolina in reference to — free negroes. We suppose, however, that some satisfactory arrangement will be entered into. 1 Sern Tue Henan Revorts axn tus Common Covn- ci —It will be seen by reference to our report of the proceedings of the Common Council, that they aie coming to their senses in reference to the pro- per place for the publication of their proceedings. | ‘They are paying several papers of emall circulation | for printing their proceedings, and they find that, | notwithstanding this encouragement, the official papers do not give them as full reports of their pro- ceedings as does the Herald, which gets no pay, and asks no favors. | tells well for the Board of | Assistants’ good sense, that they appreciate this | fact. Assistant Alderman Webb declared, last evening, that the Jerald was to be found every- where; and Assistant Alderman Smith stated, that even every man who objected to the Herald, car- ried one in his hat with him, as he went to hii business in the morni They have got the right end of the story now, and we have no doubt they will pursue it to @ proper termination. Tur Truxorarn Covrnoversy.—We learn that | the proprietors of the Morse line, between this city and Buflalo, intend, in order to test the right of the Bain line to flash news through the atmosphere, to apply for an injunction against that line. Two | suits of the same nature, and involving the same | juestion, are now pending ia the United States } District Court in Pennsylvania and Massachusetta, which the patenteee of the Morse line are pressing toaclose. The decision mace by Judge Wood- bury, in Boeton, was in a suit inveving the House patent, which is a diflerent system of telegraphing from Bain’s. That case was decided in favor of House, but has gone by appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Cherokee Jeft Chagres on the 8th inst., and Kings- ton on the 13th. The Prometheus left Chagres on the 10th at midnight. By these arrivals we have dates from Sa Fran- cisco to the 16th December, and from Sacramento City to the 14th. The Cherokee brings ebout a million and a quar- ter of gold dust, and all the New York passengers from the Isthmus, except a few who held tickets for the steamer Faicon.

By our advices from Kingston, Jamaica, we are gratified to learn that the cholera had eatirely dis- appeared from tha: place. Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the steamers arrived, we are unable to give the news | in detail this morning, We shall give it complete in our one o'clock edition.

The injured man called out for Mr. Bohner, who came ; but on his arrival, the wounded man could not speak. Medical aid was procured, but to ae effect, as he died in less than two hears apiar. ‘t seems that five men.entered the store the one who inflicted blow wal counter and said, “ What ht I te give > and inan instant the Which took effect as id all e rowdies ran out of the Mr. Keuben residing at No. 80 Willett happened to be in the store at the time of the and witneseed the murderous asseult.

Coroner Geer was called to hold an ing on the deceased. Tue Commissioners OF Emicration —At a meeting of the Beard of Commissioners of Emigration held meariy a fortnight ago, a matter came up which created some excitement but which has been carefully kept from the public. We have obtained the following partieu- lars trom areliablesource. When it was known thatan emigrant ee firm had failed, one of the Commis- sioners caruslly asked the first officer or agent, whether the said firm owed the Commissioners any commuta- tien woney for the emigrants who had arrived at this port im the ships for which that firm were agents. The general agent said they owed $1,300. An examination of the books. however, was made, and it was ascertained that over $3000 were di It lain from the tore- going, that the account was allowed torun for up of tive mopiths though the la ratively requires the poy mente to be made in three di or the arri- ach ship, and though the agent is paid $2,500 per annum for looking after all such matters and things It is worthy of remark that one ship was actu- aily allowed to make two passages, without a cunt being obtained forthe passengers Yet all this time. many sta) ving men and women were refured temporary assist- ance. tor want of funds. On Wednesday week ¢ ne of the Commissioners moved that the agent be required to make good the money thus lost by his neglect. The case was referred to the president to report upon. He made no report at the meeting on Wednesday last, but to-worrow, we learn, the matter is to come again on the topica. Common Council. BOAKD oF ALDERMEN.

The room was well filled, aleo the gallery. and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. ‘The following officers were appointed :— A H. Postley, Fiishe J. Jenkins, do. Ethan Allen, Geo. L. Taylor, Secretaries. Mr. Nicnios.as Cannot was the first speaker. He pointed out, in glowing terms, the benefiteand ad. vantages of the association. He said its members erred less frequently than other men. It wasa nursery do. of minds that produced such men as Stebbins and Coffin, and the otber worthies who, in turn, built it up, and mad it what it is at the presen’ They foun the library inthe hands of men who enough to arsemble snd hear subscriptions, and dreamed of « single the association might it was receive y , but who never be ject by wi the interests of je advanced.

'f he understood this Asseciation aright, the ynien ticket presented there to-night contained names of men who had no other object than te advance its best interests He was vot there as a partizan, but he be- lieved that the union ticket would carry out ae eee principles on which the Association was fou oad (cheers)— men who will be proud to leave the Associa- in abetter condition than they for (Re- newed cheers) Vituperation amd malice were bad ‘weapons to employ in that Assoclation. They had, generally. failed; and if he was not mistaken, they would fail agein. At the head of the union ticket he found the name of Mr. Peckham; of that gentleman tne segue Nominating Commitee of last year, spoRe follows As Corresponding Secretary, we present to you a gentleman, long a member of the library, who joins to his experience in its affairs, energy and ability of ao common order. In his election, you wouid seoure the services of an active and efficient officer, upon whose zeal and activity you could rely.” (Great cheering) If that be true, then what is contained in the circular of the Nominating Commit! the present year can- not be true, That circular ” he head of this fo called Union ticket, stands the ni person who ia notoriously unfit for the office. ks both the He tulents, mawners. and capacity fit for the office.” Fer bis part be believed that Mr, Peckham possessed hon- eety of purpose. talent and every qualification neges- sary for the office.

If they wished to prerer ssociation from ship- eck, they would rally around the union standard, and place George Peckham at the helm. (Enthusiastic cheering) The opponents of the union ticket would place a man at the head of the association who knew nothing of tho wants of the members, who did not sympatbize with them, and who was ignorant of their cratt; but if they expected to elect him, they would find it more diffeult than they imagined. (Cheers ) If merit met its reward, to morrow George Peckham would be triumphant. His claims had been already presented to them. The opposite party had no claims to present on behalf of their candidate, and therefore they were silent. of ‘There were no seorets to cone They had, in- eokam, Lat his like the rurge repelling roe meeting they lately held, they betrayed ir than hope of ‘heir reasons were like en.
