SPROLAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. - Atpany, June 22, 1853. Mr. Cooley made a winority report on the sudject of the New York public park. in favor of the Central Park, without the adcition of Jones’ Woods. Itis a highly in- teresting and very voluminous document; and it contains elaborate descriptions of parks in London, Paris, Vienna, but not a word in relation to the Egyptian parks. This is undoubtedly an accidental omission, for the hoaorable Senator’s personal observation of those ancient grounds would have enabled him to give otuer ignorant Senators wuch valuable information. Mr. Cooley will please give the parks in Kgypt in an addenda. Mr. Beekman, who made a majority report yesterday: embracing both locations, hoped the subject would be immediately taken up avd disposed of. The original bill (the central park) hss been ordered to a third reading, and there is an amendment pending, adding them to Jones’ Woods. Mr. Cornell objected, as it required unani- Tous consent. Mr. Morgan moved the printing of 20,000 copies of both repecte, as they contain much valuable information. r. Vam Sehoonhoven oppoed, stating that it was a mere local matter, and not of general interest. Messrs. Beekman and Covley both remarked, that as authors of the several reports, they felt no anxiety for printing. ‘The Senate finally concluded to print twenty extra co- jies for the use of and distribution by each member of the Pogulature. ‘Strong memorials were received from the New York Board of Underwriters. the Chamber of Commeree, ac- companied by a statement mude by Major Dearield, Uni- ted States Engineer, protesting sgainst contracting the Channel of the East river by ex'ending piers into it. ‘The morning session of the Senate resulted in nothing worthy CA ny The Catholic bill was expected to be it was not. Inthe House, Mr. Shaw moved that the Mather reso. tution be recommitted to the Select Committee, with in structions te invert, in areparate and distinct form, the various charges alleged aguinst him, ‘A debate sprang up, and Mr. Macsh consumed the time in talking until twelve 0” . the time heretofore adopted to take the fival vete—the Speaker so announced, when Mr. D. B Taylor moved to postpone taking the vote for half an hour, which was declared out of order. The question was then tskeu, which resulted in 80 votes for impeachment, and 35 against it. ‘While the list of members were being called, several waembers arked to be excured from voting. Mr. Ashley said he was interested, being a juror in the case. Mr. Hendece hac not been allowed an ey. to make a speech. D ctor Miller believea that soveral other State Officers are involved as deeply as Mather, and should vote for the resolution for the purpose of bringing others before the Court of Impeachment. Wm. Taylor was also in hopes that other high olficers would be impeached. Mr. . Wood bad no opportunity of making a speech and givicg hisreasons; but he was desirous to press on this trial, as well as otbers. Mr. Beman thought it was a mere dog- fight, and felt no desire to take part, &c. ‘The Astembly chamber was crowded to excess, which made it somewhat disagreeable, being a very warm day— thermometer st 90. Mr. Mether was pressm* in a stat uy the floor, as was also reveral other State officers. The whig members enjoyed the tuing right merrily, and only five of them voted sgainst the resolution. The au dience in the lobbies anc galleries viewed the proceedings with silence and great spxiety. Soon after the result was sscertained, Mr. P. W. Rose, of St. Lawrence. ed to iake up the Maine law from the Senate. This was carried by 61 to 46, and Mr. Little- john was placed in the chair. There was little done with it, as no one seemed Cisposed to debate it. When the Speaker resumed the chair, Mr. Loomis called up the resolutions offered by him on’ Monday re- ferrivg the official conduct of other State officers to the same Special Committee. which brough: in the Mather Tesolutic Mr. J.

He would vote for the impeachment of any State officer, because he did vot think they could be convicted ander sny of the alleged charges; still he believed the charges against Chatield were ten times more serious than (nose ageinst Mather Mr, Kennedy offered an amendment, that the committee be instructed to preter specitic charges of impeachment against Mr. Chatfield. ‘Mr, Littlejohn suggested the propriety of appointing a different committee upon charges against eacu State offi- er, a6 balf # doven could more readily make the exami- nations tban if ove committee had charge of the whole Matter. The session was drawing wo a close, Several members sprang upon their feet and claimed the floor, but the Speaker's hammer announcing a recess, cut off all further parley on the sudject. The subject was resumed after four o'clock, wheu seve- ral orations were delivered. Quite a sharp colloquy oc- curred between Mr. Daniel B Taylor and tee.

Mr, Cootry, (dem ) asked leave to report upon the Jones’ Woods Park bill. No objection wan made, and Mr. UC. submitted an elaborate written report as the minority ‘Of the committee. The position he assumed was that the Jorge majority of the people of the city of New York Hastings, but all ‘Were in favor of the central location, instead of the Jones’ Woods.

Those who were so anxious for the Jones’ Woods Park, were those who were to be more or ess pecuniarily benefitted by it. The number of acres in the central site is seven hundred and sixt and its position is such as to better by far ventilate city, than would in the other location.

Mr. VanpEREILT, (dem.) moved to amend the bill so as to provide for paving the interest up t6 1855, instead of 1854 in order to ensure the application of this fund for tbat purpose. He would not appreoriste this particular fund for apy other than this specific purpose. Mr. Pratt. (whig) did ot regard this as good pelley.

THE IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Brnrovans, (ind. dem.) of Orleans, moved to lay all orders on the table down to the reports of select com- mittees, to take up the report of the committee im- peaching Canal Commissioner Mather. Carried. Mr. Burzxoven’s then took the floer. He had, through the discussion, thus far occupied the position of a juror. He disclaimed all expression of opinion or pre-jadgment in the care. He rbould not, in examining the charge wade against Mr. Mather, inquire whose relative he was, but sbould seek to know what was right—what would insure the rights of the people of the State. He bad been willicg to allow the accused every opportunity to vindicate himself He should not undertake to explsia the reasons for the change of the opiaion of the gentle- map from New York, (Mr. Shaw,) siuce he offered the resolution to examine into the conduct of State officers: he could not doit. It was objected toa tiial of Mr Mather that it would cost the State a large anm. In his opinion it | would bave been a step of economy had it been done years ago. He adduced a tabular view of the expense of keeping the Erie caval in repatr for the first six years after it was completed, showing the increase of expendi. ture. There were what a gentleman in Congress termed “*posy tenders” all along the line of canal—ureless azents —thove who received pay and performed no services. should be glad of an investigation of the whole subject, to have it spread before the public, for it would produce atalutery effect. We must demand that every public officer consult the interest of the State. and regard the statutes. The gentleman bad urged charity. This he thought was not a political duty, Disregard of the statutes could not be charitebly overlooked. They should be brevght toa strict account. He noticed that the gentleman from Herkimer (Mr. Loomis) passed ligat- ly over such matters as involved otber officers. The let- tings of 1851 were thus noticed. And were it not that he sbould trespass upon the House, he wonld examine this branch of the subject at length. ' One charge against Mr. Mather was, that he entered into a conspiraey upon pe cf té deo ra. An eet proc this Homan ste Seemed to briog other diselgry sowever, any personal feelings in the mat: ‘ver d¥hhad been attributed to him. There was no neces- rity of sitting here long to know who to add to this list | —sgainst whom charges are to be brought. We have it before us. He should go for the resolution, and should siand before his constituents able to give good reasons for eo doing. To bring Mr. Mather and others to trial wonld save the State in future millions, while it will cost but burdreds. Mr. SHaw (dem ). of N. Y.,eulogized the gentleman who bad just speken, (Mr. Burroughs.) He bad been said to have changed. Thix Honse would recolieet the lecture he geve upon change. He believed in changing. He introdured the resolution, becsmse the documents Jeed. He was now oppored for several reasons. As follows :—Lat. Beraure it is an application of o power to an incon- siderable udject. 2d. The power ot impeachment should be cor fiumed in its use to the Governor and the judiciary. 84, The constitution enjoins upon the Lezislature to vide by law tor the removal of State officers. 4th. Al‘hough the accused may have acted in error in the discharge of some of his dutiés, in the absence of all corruption or the to impeachment | charge of any, there isno adequate charge for the prosecu- tion. 5th. There is no reasonable ground to expect a conviction, and rothitg probably will result but a bill of costs to the State and the vindication of the accused. 6th. It may be regarded as a partisan movement, and in- yolve a train of evil infiuences After the expression on the part of the accused that had been made, he desired totake some action in the premises. and wise action. This resoiution merely impeached John C. Mather for high crimes and misdemeanors. This should be recom- mitted for specific charges, that this House might know for what it impeached him aud that the Senate might act upon it uncerstandingly. He therefore offered a re- solution authorizing the reference of the resolution back to the committee, with directions to bring in a report embodying the same specific charges with reasonable ote Ons (dem.) of ir. CHaptix, (dem.) of Allegany, desired to say tha’ by this resclution the House would not proceed in ae cordance with law. The report was made in conformity to the rule of proceeding as formed in all authorities and sanctioned by all precedents, ‘The Iw demands that the Senste and Court of Appeals organize themselves into a court, after being notified that a resolution of im- peachment has been passed. Then the House, by coun- sel or committee, in the body, must present the charges or the bill of impeachment. “We are first to decide that there is evidence enough to impeach. Then send notice tothe Senate, then the court is organized and the charges prefersed, and the accused permitted to offer his defence, Je also reviewed briefly the Troy dock specifications. Mr, Marsn, (dem ) of Tompkins, followed, alluding to the action of the committee, and Mr Mather’s communi cations. He said the committee had not time to exa- mine all the public officers, so they first fixed upon the Eastern division of the canal, and brought cha: ageinst Mr. Mather because they considered him quite as guilty, if not more so, than others. He desired that the House act directly upon the report of the ecmmit- tee, without any evasion. And he should be glad to ree the accused acquitted. The question was then taken upon the resolution to impeach John C. Mather, and it was adopted by ayes 80; noes 35, as follows :— Aves—M ker, Beckwith, Beman, Bou- ton, Burn Bushnell, Cary, Carpenter, Cham: gis.

PROPOSITION TO IMPEACH MORE STATE OFFICERS. Mr BurRovans catled the resolution of Mr. Loomis (re- ported yesterday) to instruct the committee to examine into the conduct of other State officers. Mr. J. E. Exy. (dem.) of Broowe, moved as an amend- ment. # reso ution to impeach Levi S. Chatfield, Attorney Gevernl, fer holding in his possession certaia fees. Mr. Mansu did vot justify such a proceeding. He pre- ferred a thorongh examination before a high State officer was impeached. Mr. MILLER, (dem ) of N. ¥., desired a full and careful | examination into ail these cases, that the guilty ones may be ited out. ir. Fersyru, (dem ) of Albany, hoped the amendment would not carry. He thonght the good sense of this House would reject it Mr. D. B. Tayion should vote for no such resolution. Mr. Hxxpex, (wbig) of Livingston, said Attorney Gen- eral Chatfield had reported to this House relative to the fees, but he baduot seen the report on che files. He de- sired to know whether the proof was not as strong against Mr. Chatfield as against Mr. Mather. one el (whig) of Erie, stated that the report wasto found. Mr. Looms, (dem ) of Herkimer, stated his reasons for offering his resolution, He thought justice to all of the Officers implicated required such action. He could not favor passing over all of them but one. Mr. J. E. Exy stated that he intended this afternoon to bring in resolutions concerning the other efficers. Mr. Loomis suggested that the resolution of Mr. Ely, instead of being offered as a substitute, be referred to ihe game committee as a charge again: individual. Mr. Houzy (wbig) of Niagara, id the bequest of £5 to puy the debt of Englaud had been called the best joke of the age, this was a better one still. Gentlemen had, in their +peeches, involved other officers, and now opposed this action with reference to them. because we had pot time! He urged action with reference to each individual. Unanimous action would be had in reference to Attorney-General Chatfield, for his repeated contempt of this House was well known. Our files are full of do- cuwents showing the corruption in the administration of government. We have had one trial for brivery, and if we had sent all who have resorted to it to the county jail, we should have had the jail better filled than any county in the State. He slluded to the corruption here. He had once jaid a wager that he would leave his drawer full of atetiovery—a 1onths supply. with the key in it—for two nights, and he would not find enough in it to write an | obituary of the barnburners, and it was so. He de- | nounced, in no measured terms, the corraption in this Btate and styled the impeachment of Attorney General Chatfield the best joke of the season. He desired to offer | an amendment but as it was to the original resolution, it was out of order. Mr Kennepy, (whig) of Cayuga, offered aa amendment to the amendment instructing the investigation to the charges against the attorney Geceral. He wished to have the matter foilowed clo-ely, and not stay the pro- ceedings because he belonged to another branch of the | party. He cesired to act with candor sud honesty. Mr. Livtursoux, (whig).of Oswezo. thought our time was limited, and suggested that a committee be appointed to each individual, that they might have fair and thorough investigation. Recess tu 4 P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION. THE ANTI RAILROAD ACCIDENT BI. Mr. W.

THE IMPEACHMENT CASE. ‘The question being upon the amendment of Mr. Ken- pedy, to ingtrust om exemitie nc dae di samen isn: WB The “Souduet’ of any State officer. He thought it would be fair to give Mr. Chatfield, or any other officer, an caparte investigation, the same as was given Mr. Mather. This commitiee, when appointed by ibe House, should Daveall the facts afforded them that can be produced. He read the resolution, as offered by Mr. Ely, and asked for more explicit charges. They wee too vague. He preferred that of Mr. Loomis, as covering the action of Other cflicers, end not limiting the time. While he de- sired an investigation, he was not prepared to vote upon rhe charges alleged in the preamble of Mr. Ely’s resolu- von. He thought the House would not be prepared thus toact. He preferred to refer toa committee. Mr. Prrers (whig), of Geresee, said that as a member of the committee, he had not felt him-elf justified in say- ing anything to add a feather to the weight of the charges Le bac agsisted in bringing againit Mr. Mather. Hy felt proud of the gentleman from New York, (ifr. Shay.) when he offered the resolution to institute an inquiry. But Le felt grieved when he saw him throwing obstacles in the way of it. After proceeding he waa pronounced out of order, in not discussing the question. Mr. Hipparp (dem ). of Onondags, proposed that he be permitted to proceed in his.own way. Objected to, Mr. Perers continued, confining himseif more to the question. He urged inve.tgativg the matter thorougly. The prevtous question was moved on M>. Loomis’s 1es0- lution direeting the committee to continue their investi- gation into the official conduct of other State officers, but the House would rot eustain the call. The question of reference was debated until the ad- journment. —_—______. Vexmont Whig Convention, Moytretirr, June 22, 1853.

THE TAMMANY HALL RIOTERS—POSTPONEMENT OF THE SENTENCE—LEGAL ARGUMENT RELATIVE TO THE JUDICIAL POWERS OF THE ALDERMEN. Before Judge Beebe and Ald Brisley and Francis. June 22.—The Court met this morning for the purpose of sentencing the Tammany Hall rioters, John S. Austia others, but the Aldermen, not thinking xt proper for em to sit on the bench, sent for the District Attorney, in order to hear bis opinion on the matter. Mr. Blurt, having entered the Court, said that he had received notice that morning of the intention of the Court to rentence the Tammany Hall rioters. His atten- tion was then called to a recent passage of the Legisla- ture in relation to the right of the Aldermen sitting on the bench, ard acting as Judges thereon. He gave his opinion en that subject some time ago, at the request of the Recorder. Until an official promulgation of the re- sult of the late election ia relation to the amended cha: ter by the Board of Canvassers had been made, the act did not become a Jaw. But, within the last few days, an act entitled ‘An act supplementary to an act entitled an act further to amend the chorter of the city of New York,’ has been ‘introduced and passed through both houses of the Legislature at Albany, and signe’ by the Governor. the object of which was to carry iato immedi- e effect the amencmente to the city charter, recently submitted to the people for their sanction. Taus the ob: ject of this supplementary act was to carry iato effect im- mediately the amex dments to the charter. notwithstaud- ing en official zeturn from the Board of Canvassers may be delayed for some time longer. Section 6th of the amended charter provides that " no Alderman shall here- after sit as ap Associate Judge in the Court of U,er and Terminer, or in the Court of General Sessions ? Youmsy doubt the power of the City Judge alone to hold the Court, ‘but the 4th section of the supplementary act provides as fol- lows:—"Hereafter Courts 0: Oyer and Terminer in and for said city may be held by a Justiee of the Supreme Court and the Court of General Sessions of the peace in and for the eaid city, by the vider or City Judge of the said city: and whether either of the ssid courts shall be so bela by a ringle Judge, all the powers and juriediction appertaining thereof by law to such Court shall be pos- ferred and exercired by ruch Juoge.”” Thus the great difficulty by thix section is ret oside, and the City Judge can wld tee Court legally alone, without the assistance of avy of the Aldermen. From the moment that the supplementory act has paseed both houses of the Logis- lature. aud bas been signed by the Goveruor, the Alder- men have become dispossessed of the right to sit on the bench as Assvciate Judges in the Court of General Sez- sions and the Court of Uyer and Terminer. It was his opision that the Aldermen are, by the passage of the act, no longer entitlea to act as Associate Judges in the Court eLCenaral RereinnA,. vau w vecome @ law, uatil ao official promuigation of the result of the late election had been wade by the Board of Canvassers He thought that the supplementary act should also be left for the sanction of the people as well as the anendedi charter itself. Mr. Biunt thea went on to say that, in his opiaion, the Legislature Lave the right to pass such laws, and'that the reople of this city were bound to obey them. Ho then alluded to the many encroachments that Lave been made on the paramount rights of the corporation of this city, which at times bave been yislded to through omis- sion’ on the part of the Aldermen themselves, and at other times through no resistance of that body. When the Legiclature passei the amendments to the ciiy charier, they thought proper to have them submitted to the people for taeir sanctio Tne people having signified their wish to bave the cha: ter become a law, the Legislature have just now a supplementary act for tae purpose of putting the amend ea charter into immediate effect. He hel no doubt, whatever of the power of the Legislature to pass buy laws they wey thiak proper. Be bed so doubt, however zash or éxtraordinary their measures might seem, the people were bound to abide by tho laws which were mace by their representatives at Albany. Alderaan Brisley said that he would like to hear the opivion of some more legal counsel on the question, be- fore anytbing definite should take place, Judge Loe! d that he had not studied the point verylong, nor bad be given it proper attention; but, in his the Aldermeti bad a right io siton the bench he said before, they were officially notified of the result of the election. Hecouid not aj with the District Attorney on the question. and would, therefore, have to adjourn the case until Saturday morning. r. Blunt stated that the great point in the question whether the sentence of the Court would not be a mece nullity, and whether the Court would not be com- mitting a misdemeanor by falsely imprisoning those men when they were not legaily a court of justice. The Al- dermen would make themselves liaple to be punished for @ misdemeanor if they unlawfully sentenced men over whom they had no jurisdiction. Mr. Cochrane, counsel for the defendants, said that the point in the question was, if the Court should come to the conclusion that they bad no right to sit, would the City Judge have the power to pass sentence upon the defendantat ‘That was a very nice point yet to be de- cided. Mr. Blunt bad his attention called to that part of the question, and found by the fourth section of the supple- 2 THE HOT WEATHER. errr Its Effect here and Elsewhere. NEW YORK. Yeeterday the highest rise of the thermometer was at SP. M., when it stood at 04, two degrees higher than at noon. This, however, is net in any way remarkable, for it will be generally found that the heat is greater a few hours after twelve than when the sun is at ihe meridisn, Shortly after the storm that threatened us, but which passed over, there being only partial falls of rain, the thermometer fell to 82, this was at5 P.M. Although so | little rain fell on the Maphattan side, there was a smart | shower on Long Island, and even with us, the rain in one particular locality, was observed to fall at a smart rate. | ‘The irregulorities of the weather at present are well de i serving the attention of the learned; not the leasten- | rious is the rapid fall of the thermometer previously to | those thunder storms, That of yesterday, although it | turned out to be nothing of any importance threatened at times most ominourly—one tremendous crash and ail wes over. A smart shower of rain would, however, have been xery accoptable On Tuesday, the same as yesterday, the bigtest rise of the thermometer was « few hours after 12 ML., when the the: mometer was at 97.

A mau named Patrick Boyne was sun struck in Essex atrect, between Delancey and Broome, and brought tothe Hospital. It is expected that he will recover. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the physi cian, Dr H.

We would wish to impress it upon the mindy of all, that immediate medical aid is of the utm st necas- sity in cases of this description. Let our policemen take apy such cases directly to the Hospital, for lives are often sacrificed from delay. Perhaps, if taken an hour earlier, the above deceased might have been recovered in cases of run-stroke. Wo, must repeat again, immedi- ate med’cal aid is of the utmost importance. ‘The Coroner yesterday held an inquest on the body of Louis Metzger, sged 18 years, a German by birth, who came to his death by exposure to the heat of thesrun. The deceased was a driver of one of the Third avenue line of steges. A verdict was rendered accordingly.
