By this arrival we learn that the steamship Hermann, {rom Bremen, sailed from Southampton for New York on the 5th inst., but was compelled to put back to Cowes on the 7th, having been considerably damaged. ~ The most important annonncement by this arrival is the burning of the packet-ship St. George, bound for New York, with emigrants, upwards of fifty of whom perished. ‘ Politically, the news, though interesting, is of no great émportance. The cotton market at Liverpool was dull, but prices, except for fair Mobile, which was one-eighth of s penny Jower, show no change. Breadstuffa were less active. Maritime Disasters.

LEGISLATIVE DOINGS-—THE SENATE AND the BRoAD- WAY RAILROAD—INTERESTING SCENE IN THE A8- y — TEMPERANCE YETITION PRESENTED BY DEBATE ON THE CANAL QUESTION—POST {OBBER SENTENCED, ETC: SPPCIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THY NEW YORK HERALD. Aunanr, Jan. 21, 1853. The Senate accomplished no business of importance. The morning hour was consumed in the revision of the rules, and the motion of adjoursiment over till Monday. Several members desired to attend Judge Marvin’s fane ral, at Saratoga, to-morrow. Mr. Babcock remarked that his residence was so far from the capital that he could not visit his family by adjourning oyer till Monday, as some other senators could do, ‘The question being taken, was decided in the negative. by the casting vote of Mr. MeMurray,who occupied the Lieutenant-Governor’s chair, in the absence of Mr. Church to Concord. Mr. Beckman presented remonstrance, signed by Peter Sharp, against the rdilroad bill before the Senate, to Fr hibit the construction of the Broadway Railroad. It i very severe upon the opponents to that ay tend and de- clares that the Legislature have ho right to interfere. ‘A very interesting scene occurred in the House. During the order of presenting petitions, Mr. Burroughs said there was a delegation present within the bar of the House from the Women’s State Temperance Society, with a number of petitions on the subject of temperance. He moved that they be permitted, through one of their num- ber, to present their petition to the House. Ir. O'Keefe said—“Mr. Speaker, the permission ap. pears to me to be a foregone conclusion, and I would sug- gest that we submit to the imposition as gracefully and aa elegantly as possible. Sir, as this is a most extraor- dinary application, go let it meet with a most extraor: dipary reception. ‘Let these high-minded, high-strung, spirited women, whe discard, as worthless, the antique dress of the Elizabethan age, and pe in the modern habiliments of jackets and pants—let them walk down the middle aisle of this chamber, and, with a masculine stride, which #0 admirably becomes such feminine deli- “z, as theirs, present their petitions.” ‘the question being taken, permission was granted, when the delegation walked up the middle aisle, and Miss Clark addxessed the Speaker as follows:—‘ Mr. Speaker and Legislators of the State of New York—We come to you in behalf of 28,000 women—wives, mothers and sis- Yers—of this great commonwealth, to petition your hon- orable body for protection, We ask proicotion, that our hearthstones may not be desolated—that the little ones oround onr_firesides may not be smitten more than fatherlexs, We ask protection, that our sons may be saved fromthe drunkard’s shame and the drunkard's doom. We ask protection, our husbands may be saved from the destroy’ wer of the spirit that dwells in the intoxicating cup. We ask protection, that all that is wacred to the homes ofthe Empire State may not be considered of less moment than the $2,685,900 invested in the liquor traffic in this State, We ask you to law’entirely prohibit the sale of int rinks, and we mort respectfully, but carnostly, solicit the early attention of your honorable body to our petitions.’’ The tions were then passed up to the chair ina satchel.

Mr. Sran1y, (whig) of N. ©., asked the gentleman to give his reasons tp bow document should not be printed. Mr. Porx replied that he had stated them yesterday.

After the presentation of a large number of petitions, several of them in behalf of the temperanee cause, Mr. Burrovans, (ind. dem.) of Orleans, rose, and said there was a deputation of ladies in the House, with a petition of twenty-eight thousand ladies for the Maine law, and requesting permission that the deputation might present the petition in person, and give reasons for a com- pliance therewith. Mr. Hasuncs, (whig) of Monroe, hoped leave would not be granted. On motion of Mr. Burnovans, the rules were sus- pended. Mr. Burrovans then moved that leave be granted to the ladies to present their petition in person. Mr. 0" (dem..)of New York, said—The permission appears to me to bé a foregone conclusion, T would that wo bmit to the imposition as ce ful‘and elegantly 1s possible.” Sir, at this is a movt ox- traordinary application, so let it meet with a most extra- ordinary reception, When ladies are aolicitous of leav- ing the holy sphere in which “nature and nature’s God”’ has beneficently placed them, and when they are desirous of emulating the sterner sex in the race for fame and gpory, by mingling in the world as lawyers, statesmen, and generals, they should be gently taken by the hand’ and encouraged in their manly, and it may be, unfeminine, as- pirations. Let these high-minded, high-strung, and spirit- ‘ed women—who discard as worthless the antique dress of the Elizabethan age, and glory in the modern habiliments of jackets ‘and pants—Iet them walk down the middle aisle of the chamber, and, with a masculine stride, which so ndmirably becomes such feminine delicacy as ‘theirs, present their petitions; and while, sir, Ian explicit on this preliminary subject, like my friend from Kings, I de- sire it to be distinctly understood, that I shail reserve my opinion upon the main subject till the proper time ar- tives, Mr. Burrovons had nothing to say in reply to the gen- tlemart from NewYork, and the motion was then car- ried. ENTRANCE OF THE LADIES—THEIR ADDRESS, ETC. ‘The ladies were then received at the bar of the House, and Mrs. McKwcnt, their chairman, read the following address: ME.

He ted that the merits of the question involved by the resolutions had been brought into discussion. His remarks on a pre- ceding day had been misconstrued. At that time he re- peatedly said he was in favor of internal improvements, and of the speedy enlargement of the canals. He had never given the shadow of a reason for supposing he entertained contrary views. He had been promised en lightenment on the question yesterday, and although he sat with open ears, he had not received it. There seemed to have been a rivalry among gentlemen as to who would culogize the canals most beautifully; but nothing practi- cal on the subject had been advanced. He had not abused the time of the House by any needless pleasantry, althovgh in leisure hours he was not disinclined to a good natured jest. But the hours of legislation would not be trifled away by him. Mr. T. wished his position to be understood. The gen- tleman from Oswego has expressed his surprise that an; member from New York should oppose the canals, whic! had been the greatest benefactor of thatcity. Mr. T. did not come here to legislate for a section of the State, but for the whole of it. He would not close his eyes to the interests of the people of New York, wherever they way live, whether on the sea coast or on the lakes. claimed for himself andthe New York delegation the same honesty as representatives from other portions of the State. He thought it unfair to suspect his motives. Weare all agreed that there shall be some legislation on the suject of the canals. He believed there was an in- tentionjto draw party lines on it, He deprecated any such course, ~ In voting for a bridge acroas Lake Cham- plain at Rouse’s Point, some years ago, he had been charged with at & measure inimical to the in- terests of New York city. But he believed the bri: necessary to the welfare of the northern portion of the State, and he had yoted for it. So strong } ad been the opposition to him, that he had given uj idea of again returning to New York, and had written a farewell to that city. Mr. T. thought there was not a railroad in- flence in this House against the canals. On the contrary, there was’ ® canal influence against the railroads. We must meet the question before us with fairness. A plan for carrying on our public works is to be adopted here. But there were some who cared more for stabbing the Governor than for the public works. The Governor has laid the whole condition of the canals before us, his bem measure is inthe Senate was could not say how the in this house stands on joint committee would rom each .

Ladies’ State Temperance Convention. GREAT EXCITEMENT—THE BLOOMERS IN THE FIRLDL Arzany, Jan. 21, 1868. This body assembled at the State Street Baptist Chureh, this morning. The house was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, and the meeting was called to order by Miss Susan B. Anthony, of Rochester, and opened with prayer: by Rev. Antoinette L. Brown. Mrs. M. A. Thompson, of Albany, was chosen President; Miss E. Clark, of Le Roy, Mrs, Albro, of Rochester, and Mrs. Wetmore, of Canaje- harie, Vice Presidents; Mrs. L. N. Fowler, M. D., of New York, and Mrs. Mary Vaughn, of Oswego, Secretaries. Mrs. Tuompson, on taking the chair, remarked that the honor was one she had not anticipated, and she considered herself competent to the duties of the posi- tion. She thought that whatever might be said as tothe propriety of the movements generally for the enfranchise- ment woman, and there certainly could be valid urged woman taking an active part in the efforts now forward for the suppression of the rum traffic. question is one which comes home to wo- man ee peculiar force, and in which she is deeply in- terested. The following ladies were chosen s committee to report resolutions for the consideration of the com vit. — Miss AL. Brown, Miss M. L.

Resolved, That any statute which aims to regulate evil is as vile and lawless as the evil itself. Resolved, That we must have a law to suppress the evils of intemperance, and that we will not cease to de- mand it of our legislators until it is finally obtained. Resolved, That if we were in possession of the elective franchise, we should deem it our duty to choose, as our own representatives, advocates of the Maine law; and that we cannot approve the practice of first voting for anti-Maine law men, and then petitioning them to enaet the Maine law. Miss Brows, who, as chairman of the business commit- tee, reported’ the ‘above resolutions, advocated thele adoption in a speech of much foree and point, and con- cluded. by saying that we must havea Maine law—we de- mand it as a right, and will haye it. . ‘The resqlutions were unanimously adopted. Miss EafLy CLARK rose to say that avery stra had just taken place. A committee of wooen (Mies and Mrs. Bloomer) had waited on the Legislature, had been admitted on the floor of the Assembly, made a brief address, to the august body there convened, and ted. the petition of 28,000 of women of the Empire State, praying the passage of a law to stay the flood of intem: perance which is carrying sorrow, desolation and death 4o so many hearth stones, by stopping at once and for- ever the traffic in rum.

Miss Susaw B. ANTHONY explained, that this meeting was not a meeting of the Women’s State Temperance Society, but a State mass meeting, or mass convention of women devoted to the temperance cause. She then, for the information of those preeent, explained the nature and objects of the Women’s New York State Tem Society, by reading the constitution adopted by said society.

She defended the right of women to participate in the dia- cussion of public affairs, and siid:—Has not God given us souls—reason? Was it meant she should be silent?

Hers was to exert a good influence over him ; yet how do this, when she is less wise? Had women possessed the a te of pub- lic affairs, of which men were in possession, the election would have resulted differently, and there would now be no doubt of the passage of the Maine law.
