Mr. Brwrot reported adversely to the bill for the repeal Of all Moense laws. ‘The report was laid on the table and ordered to be printed. SYMPATHY FOR THE MADIAI FAMILY. Mr, Bamaaay, (whig,) called up the following resolu- ‘tions: — Resolved, (if the Assembly concur,) That the Legisla- ‘ture of the State of New York have regarded with dee Bolicitudeand regret the recent persecutions to whic! Francisco Madiai and hix wife, Rosa Madiai, have been Bubjected in the kingdom of Tuscany, for the alleged crime of reading the Holy Scriptures. Resolved, (if the Assembly conenr,) That the congra- tulations with which the State of New York formally and by publie act bailed, in 1847 the efforts of Pius to ameliorate the condition of the Italian people, and to be- stow upon them the incalculable blessings of national in- dependence and constitutional freedom, make eminently Proper at this time « formal and public nemonstrance ‘against cruel and flagrant oppression in the same land. 1 Resolved, (if the Assembly concur,) That the President ‘Of the United States be respectfully requested to exert his deat influence with the government of Tuscany to obtain, s a favor asked by a people which welcomes all strangers and protects all religions, permission for the Madiai, and their fellow prisoners for the same offence, to emigrate to this country. Resolved, (if the Assembly concur,) That a copy of these lutions be duly authenticated and forwarded Dy the Governor to the President of the United States, and to each of the Senators and Representatives in Con- Bress from this State. Mr. BkEKMAN said the transactions referred to had been known and read of by all Americans. Four years ago, ©onstitution bad been most solemnly sworn te in Taa- ecany. The sovereign fled, but soon retw fi re-action commenced, and a new state of thins commenced. A r man and his wife, ue last, read in Florenee, in is Own room, & copy of Bible, and the government for this act—a sovereign sworn by vast oaths to his con- | Stitution—sentenced this mente woman—to the gal- | lies. All Europe stood aghast; and every one in | whose bosom a drop of free blood run, remonstrated. Devoted men from France and the Netherlands, Eng- | land, Ireland, Switzerland, Russia, and other countries, went to Florence to ask mercy for these Bible read- ers. Tuscany repelled them, and told them that Tus- €any’s affairs must be guided by itself. In 1847, Pius IX. dazzled us by his prospective glory, and the State of New York spoke out, by its resolutions, nobly and eloquently. in that Italy, thus lauded, for the crime of reading the Bible, a man and a woman are doomed to the sad punish- ment of a | ty service. He (oe B.) now desired that the Pontiff should be remin that we desire that he should fulfilthe high hopes he raised. Let the vast force of public opinion, even emanating at this distance, which Grags to light the cruelties of dungeons and gloom, be brought to bear itself upon this ruler. Let the fact be poceinet that New York, as in 1847, feels interested in e cause of civil and religious liberty in Italy, This is = oe good which the passage of these resolutions rt. The resolutions were then unanimously passed. RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION. The Committee of the Whole considered the Railwa; Consolidation bill. The proposition of Mr. WARD, (wigs te confine the operations o: tween Alba: ington. and this bill to the railroad be- and Buffalo, and the Saratoga and Wash- laer roads; and of Mr. Tabor, (whig) to apply it only to roads running ina direct line, were @iscussed. The question whether the proposed consoli- dation should be eifected by a vote of the majority, or by @ vote of two-thirds of the stuck, was also discussed. No Question was taken. BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS. The committee next considered the bill to authorize the formation of corporations for building purposes. Mr. Jonms, (dem.) feared this bill was to make the rich meehanic richer, and the poor poorer. Mr. Bapooox (whig)—Not so; the very reverse. It isto allow mechanics to unite, and by their associated means gccomplish great enterprises, hitherto accessible only to @normous capital. The Legislature is besieged with spe- cial applications for corporations for building purposes. He believed the general law proposed could facilitate all the OBES ed. It was better guarded than any fag Ww now on the statute book. By it, the carpen- the printer, the material m: the mason, could wnite, and their union would be practically equal to the single millionaire. was reported, and after the transaction of wome other business of no special importance, the com- mittee rose, and the Senate adjourned.

Thomas J. Barr, Alderman of the Sixth ward, sworn, de; He was a member of the Democratic General Committee for 1852, from the Sixth ward; knew all the parties indicted exeept Mr. Wallace, and knew him by sight; none of them were members of that committee; the com- mittee’s general place of meeting was at Tammany Hall, and there was one on the first Thursday in December, (the second day of the month); witness attended, and ar- rived about twenty-five minutes past seven; the hour of meeting was half-past; went in at the front door, and passed down stairs to the lower room, saw some of them in the course of his way down—the two Austins, Mr. Schureman, Mr. Matthews, and Mr. Wilson; thought they were in the barroom in the entry; there was a large number of people there; the committee met in a room off the lower barroom, at the south, or southeast, of the building; they organized in a minute or two after he got down stairs, by calling Mr. John A Kennedy to the chair; Mr. John S. Austin was the first of the crowd who came in; he was not sure of any positive rule, but the meetings of the committee were always considered private; the book of rules prodveed was published, and he believed anybody could get a copy; it Lp like the one he had. [The book was not put in in evidence.) To the Court—He had been a member four or five years. Witness continued—When Austin came in he walked up to the table and sat down; he was requested by the Chairman two or three times to leave the room, when wit- ness went up to him. To Mr. Cochrane—Mr. Scheli was in the chair, then; Mr. Kennedy had retired before Mr. Austin came in. Examination continued—There was a very full, quite a | large, committee; he (Austin) came in quickly, and ex cited, aa if he had MO (eet a crowd; there ap- peared to be @ crowd ouiside, and a great number of peo le assemble’. witness went to him (Austin), and he said @ would go for him; he got up to leave the room, and was going away, when Shepherd touched him on the shoulder, he believed, in some way, as ho thought, but it might be on the back; they had a conversation for, it might be, halfa minute, and Mr. Schell requested him to leave the room; he said he would not leave it for him, but he would for witness—‘for Mr. Barr,’’ or ‘Tom Barr’’—something like that; he was about leaving the | room, going towards the door ugain, when this crowd rush- ed in, and a general melée commenced; saw him do no more than he had described; witness saw all the aecused in the crowd, and heard such language as ‘Give it to Schell” — “Go in—give it him;” positively heard some one sa “Give it 10 Schell; the members of the committee al scrambled up, and got out, some one way, and some another; Wilson ran towards a chair, took it up, and ran towards Schell with it; Mr. Sehell was struck; could not say how many men there were; there were some ten to twenty; a large crowd came In; I saw Mr. Schell struck; did not see whether John S. Austin came in again with the crowd or went out; could not say whether the noise was such as to be heard in the street Cross-examined by Mr. Cochrane—The committee was the one which acted for the democratic party in New | York, and was called the General Committee, and ordins rily held meetings to order the primary elections of dele- gates for the city; thought there was a notice published; the object that night was to make an arrangement for the primary election;—to make a call for them—it wasa regular meeting for the month; the business was of an interesting nature. Q—Was it not usual for such crowds of persons, who were not members of the committee, but as were there that night, to be present at Tammany Hall on occasions of interest? A.—I can’t say it is always the case ou ocea- sions of interest. Mr. Hall objected, as wasting public time. Mr. Cochrane intended to show that the assemblage there was in accordance with ordinary usage. and they had as much right there as these individuals in their committee room. He meant to say- Mr. Hall—It has nothing to do with it, and is utterly irrelevant, because there had been previous riots, which the committee had passed over. Mr. Cochrane—My learned friend mistakes the point. Judge Beebe—I think you must confine yourself to the answer already received. Mr. Cochrane then put his question agaim, thus: Was it not the case that previously as large crowds as that present ‘on that occasion assembled at Tammany Hall at the time of the meetings, or some of them, of the General Committee? Judge Beebe—Now it must be overruled because it has been answered before. [Execption taken and noted.] Q.—Had you seen either of those defendants anywhere that night before? Witness—You mean the same evening? Mr. Cochrane—Yes. A.—No, Witness continued—Had seen some of the defendants, on other occasions before that evening, at Tammany Hall: had seen some of them there on oceasions when large crowds were there—all of them except Mr. Wallace: thought he first saw him that samo evening: witness had to go through the lower barroom en entering; there were numbers of people round, as usual; did net recol- lect the subject of general conversation among them could uot say there was any great excitement about that call of the committee; it was made as to the coming elec- ion; there appeared to be a good dea! of talking: did not know that there was any great excitement as to the man. ner of calling for the election of Inspectors Question repeated—Well, I suppose there was witness “could not say from recollection that he saw John S. Aus- tin in the upper part of the hall, but he was under the | impression he was there with the rest; I thought he saw George Schureman, who appeared to be talking with the re-t; he could not locate them. Matthews was at the jamb of the staircase as he went down: his impression was he first saw John S. Austin e, but he might be mistaken; had no recollection of seeing Wallace till he en- tered the room, when his attention was attracted by his being taller than the rest; could not locate Isaac Austin any more than Jobn; is sure he «aw Isaac in the commit. tee room. Q—Can you say you saw George Schureman? A. —I think be came in’ with the crowd; 1am pretty well satisfied, and do not think there is any doubt on my mind; there was a good deal of noise, as of people arguing angrily and quarreling; there might be fifty people. more or less, in the committee room, or coal-hole, | as it is termed: could not say whether John S.

Mr. Schell took the chair ten or fifteen minutes after the orgauization ‘d Mr. Barr, almost did not, as he passed, hear the conversation: there was | nothing to attract his attention; gathered up his papers and was assisted out by some friendly members of the committee, and thought discretion. in sucha case, the better part of valor.
