By reference to the despatch from our special Al- ‘bany correspondent, it will be seen that the Senate “Committee on Commerce yesterday reported in favor of the bill relative to wharves and piers, and recom- ‘mended the selection of Messrs. Millard Fillmore, R. ‘A. Watworth and Wm. C. Beuck, as Commissioners, ata salary of five dollars per diem each, with travel- Bing expenses, to establish the water jine of the East “river in this city and Kings county. The bill for the eonsolidation of Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Bush- wick, was favorably reported, and will pass. Quite ‘an.animated though brief debate took place between Mcasrs. Babcock, Cooley and others, with regard to the Niagara Ship Canal bill. The objectiens of the “first named gentleman to the schemes alleged by him to have been resorted toby the projectors of this ~work it is hoped will be speedily eradicated, for the interests of not only our own but various of the ‘Western States demand tHe early construction of the The Senate spent most of the day in the con- canal. sideration of the Appropriation bills. Little was.done in the Assembly besides reading and passing bills. The Judiciary Committee re- ported that the Legislature had no right to under- take the impeachment of officers whose terms have expired, or of present incumbents whose alleged abuses occurred prior to their present term. The specifications of the Champlin Committee against Mr. Mather itis expected will come up for discus- sion to-day. The debate upon the subject will pro- bably last till after the Fourth of July. Notwithstanding the various impeachment move- ments of the Assembly, hopes are entertained that the Legislature will actually adjourn in the course of ‘week or two. A resolution was last Tuesday adopted by the Senate-to adjourn on Friday, thus proving that gome degree of thought for the interests of the peo- ple-exists in that body at least. Now, although théy are aware thatthere is a reported deficit in the State treasury of about one million of dollars, and that, gach being the case, their per diem allowance must be drawn by taxing the blymen will be willing to retire to the shades of private life so soon es fixed upoa by the Senate—never- theless, it is gratifying to observe that the New York delegates have moved for an early adjourn- ment, to-morrow week, and it is sincerely hoped that they may succeed in thus carrying out the desires of those whoelected them. The extra session has al- ready been elongated to treble the length for which there was any neeessity. The principal object for which it was called, the settlement of the Canal question, has been accomplished. All has now been done that is probably intended with regard to the Mather and other impeachment cases, except so far as talk is concerned; -and the Appropria- tion, New York Park, and Railroad Accident bills, the only matters of real and immediate impor- tance, can be disposed of in two days if our le- gislators are so inclined. No substantial reason ean be adduced why an adjournment should not take place on to-morrow, as proposed by the Senate. Then why procrastinate—why will any member lend him- self to keep up the do-nothing system of legislation for the paltry sum of three dollars a day? In order that our readers may fally understand the various propositions now pending in the Legislatare for a new park in this city, we to-day publish the bills intggduced by Mr. Morgan in the Senate and Mr. Noble in the Assembly. The formeris approved by Mr. Cooley. We learn from Washington that Secretary McClel land will leave for Michigan to-morrow, and that Postmaster General Campbell will attend to the affairs of the Interior Department during his ab- sence. Decapitations are reported to be going on by the wholesale in the departments. Our despatch gives the names of a large number of clerks who have been removed, aud remarks that more are ex- pected to be made to day. The onts contemplate get- ting up a procession by way of celebrating their discomfiture. The steamship Georgia, from Aspinwall, via Ha- vana, arrived yesterday morning, with over two mil- lions one hundred and forty-one thousand doll frs from California. The letters from our Panama and Havana correspondents, together with the South American news brought by this steamer, will be found very interesting. Our Buenos Ayrean intelligence, brought by the ship Margaret Eliza, Captain Adams, and published in this paper, is of a very late date. It will be found of avery interesting character, both as regards the social position and political prospects of that portion of South Anu The bi was still continued, the sittings of the peace negoti- ating commissioners had been interrupted, and pro- visions were enormougly dear. The report of a na_ yal engagement in the neighborhood of Martin Gar. cia is covfirmed. Commander Peteluga, of the ship Chacubuea, had been killed in it. From Montevideo we are informed of a revolt in the province of Entre Rios, and it was reported that General Don Crispin Valasquez had been defeated by the insurgents. Some of the journals contain most bitter articles upon the personal character and intentions of General Ur quiza. Mr. King, a passenger by the Margaret Eliza, has furnished us with a letter containing a clear synopsis of the proceedings at Buenos Ayres, which we also publish. Late accounts from British Guiana state that a battle was recently fought between two tribes of In- dians at Berbice; the slaughter, however, was not very great, only eight having been killed, and nine wounded. Measures had been taken by the authori- ties to prevent further hostilities. Strenuons efforts are being made at Georgetown to induce immigra- tion. The bounty to emigrants has been advanced to thirty dollars; and, as a farther inducement, » company has been formed with the intention of building a line of steamers to ply between that place, Demerara, the Canory Isles, de.

It is certain that this is a city: of extraordi- nary advantages and prosperity—now increas- ing in wealth, in trade, in population, in luxury and the means of human enjoynient with a rapidity unsurpassed, perhaps une- qualled. The power, energy, activity, intelli- gence, as well as variety of its people, make up a mighty picture of human association, and present a demonstration of the effect of institu- tions really free which removes all doubt of their excellence. But wisdom, forethought and public spirit as well as enterprise and industry, are neces. sary to secure and render most good for the whole the advantages which we enjoy. Selfish- ness and sordid feeling must in some degree nitude, and that a narrow. Ur wise, or selfish policy must cause extensive ° .nd perpetual in- jury of magnitude. It may besaid that now, * ¢hen taxes have in- creased at so fearful rate. the city cannot afford te incus a heavier; burden. To this it may be-answered: let csompetent and prudent as we as honest men fe elected to office; let the -systems of cleaning streets, of lighting streets, of paving strecis, of repairing them, of erscting and repairing public buildings, and docks, and piers, be those of economy as well as honesty; let the idea of public agents sympa- ‘thising beyond their duty with public money be discarded; let wisdom, and care, and civic virtue reign in our public councils. and soon will the taxes diminish, and means will be at hand for improvements even of magnitude. Extravagance and meanness are close allies; economy and justice are intimate; prosperity cannot flow from prodigality; fidelity and truth can and will avail against fearful odds. There cannot be a doubt that wise and good agents can raise this city to be the first in comfort and the first in public virtue, as well as the first in prosperity, in the world. Tue Leanper’s Reception at New Yorr— tHE Norra Srar’s Reception at Sovraamp- Ton.—A good deal of virtuous indignation is being expressed in certain circles at the recep- tion of the British frigate Leander by the city of New York. It is said—and we are bound to admit the truth of the assertion—that when the United States frigate St. Lawrence went to Southampton, -with our contributions to the London Crystal Palace, she was received with the highest honors the municipality could be- stow. Her officers were /éted. the vessel was visited, and evéry soul on board was the object of a frank and large hospitality. Again, when the yacht North Star anchored in the same port the authorities tendered the same civilities to her owner. He was invited to dinners, compli- mented in the newspapers, and flattered by every attention which kindness and policy could suggest. On the other hand, when the Leander arrives here, with the Royal Com- missioners to our Crystal Palace, the event is barely noticed in the papers; no civic reception is extended to her officers or passengers ; and to crown the contrast. the captain loses several of his best hands by desertion, and is compelled to pay one dollar per ton for water. On the one side, we see an open-bearted generous welcome offered to American ships in a British port; on the other, a reception, in which indifference and sulkiness seem equally mingled, bestowed on a give way to public virtue, and private mono- | Britich vessel in the port of New York. If we poly to general good, or general happiness and general comfort will not flow from the best of mmnicipal blessings. The city now presents a sad spectacle in the general want of confidence in many of its present administrators. In the estimate formed of these officers and their conduct and motives, and inthe causes of the evils now existing, assigned in the public mind, there may in some degree. though not wholly, be much error. The commerce and financial and mechanical business of the city are immense—employment for all classes, from the lowest to the highest, and at high prices, in demand—a ready market for every production, wealth is flowing in from every quarter, and improvements, from private enterprise, are developing in every direction. Yet, in public matters, though expenses be- yond all precedent, in every department, are incurred, corresponding benefits do not follow. The amount drawn from the city treasury for street cleaning is immense—yet the streets are extremely filthy. The amount expended for gas and oil to light the streets is immense—yet they are not well lighted. The amount paid for street repairing and pav- ing is beyond all precedent—yet where is the city more wretched in its pavements? The amount paid for market accommodations is vast —and what markets more miserable in their ap- pearance and deficient in accommodations than the Washington Fulton and Catharine Markets? The universal cry is relief for Broadway and to and from the lower wards of the city—yet what measures are taken, what bold and large measures, adequate to the exigency, have been adopted? Examine the position and superfice of this island. It is surrounded by water, and with natural re’ on each river to accom- modate shipping of every class quite up to Harlem on one side and Spuytenduyvil on the other. Including its daily inflax of strangers full 700.900 persons every day are accommo- dated and are abiding within its limits. It is increasing in permanent population at the rate of 20.000 per annum; in superfice, northwards between ten and twenty blocks or streets ecross the island per year. Where, then, will be the city in fifty years more, and what the conveniences of its people, unless due measures be now taken to secure them comfort in their business? The present City Hall is now fifty years old; when it was built it was deemed by many too far up town for needful convenience. The dense portion of the city then was as far as purces Leonard street. On the like ratio of increase where will be its boundary fifty years hence? Let a new municipal hall be erected at c? near Madison square, or above it; let a judi- cial hall be erected at an appropriate place in the n port of the island; let the present City E be er a custom honse, and the post office ame vicinity ; let Canal street and Chambers street be cut through, each on a straight line, to the Bast river; let the Third avenue extended on a straight line to Clatham strect 1 Hadsor street to Broadway; let West street b sd to from five hundred to six hundred feet from the avenue.to the Battery, and the r cars, with their freight. run on that stre ilar to the London docks, be stablished, as far as requisite from the Battery northwardly, and the city would well be relieved of ita want of street ac- commodations. A struggle shout railroads or no railroads to relieve the pressure would be found unnecessary, the upper wards would not have to pay tribute im expense and inconve- nience to keep property 'n the First ward at an a line of docks succersively i} | | add that one or two obscure prints have not scrupled to suggest that the latter was deliber- ate and intentional, and that the bulk of the American people have looked upon the Leander and her passengers with positive feelings of dislike, we shall have done full justice to those who now complain that the city has been guilty of gross rudeness and inhospitality. We have no intention of playing Sbrigani to the Leander’s Pourceaugnac, and “apologizing on behalf of the city.” Respectable men can entertain but one opinion in regard to the re- ception of the Leander ; whatever the British captain may say or think on the subject. every one of us must regret that it did not partake of a character more honorable to us and gratifying to him. We are. however, fortunately enabled to give such an explanation of the occurrence as will at once convince the most thin-skinned “Brit- isher” that it can in no degree be ascribed to national prejudice or ill-will. For several years past the municipal authorities of this city have been in the habit of extending a large and noble hospitality to the distinguished foreigners who have visited us. Considerable sums of money have been spent to do them honor, and none of those who have accepted our proffered civilities can assert that our purse was stinted or our welcome meagre. On the strength of such re- ceptions the city of New York earned a proud name for the magnificence of its civic festivals and its lavish hospitality. It was the boast of this community that no king or potentate could pay more distinguished honors to a deceased patriot or an illustrious stranger than ourselves. All this. however. was one day discovered to be prodigal extravagance, serving no salutary purpose, and arising solely from the innate de- pravity of the men who filled the highest muni- cipal stations. Hospitality was declared to be another term for peculation. and civic ceremo- nies were pronounced a wanton waste of money. A law was passed in the State Legislature en- acting that the city should not be suifered to appropriate the public money for such pageants save only on three national anniversaries, This law was formally ratified by an immense major- ity of the people of New York. It was, in short, their deliberate sentiment, as expressed at the polls, that we have had enough of ¢! recep- tions and publie /étes. and that it was inexpe- dient to repeat them hereafter. It was with this law and this vote before them that the Common Council of the city saw the frigate Leander, with Lord Ellesmere on board, enter the port of New York. They well remembered the reception of the St. Lawrence at Southampton under similar circumstances. The very papers which announced the arrival of the Britieh vessel contained the accounts of the generous welcome offered to Commodore Vanderbilt, To say that the first impulse of the Common Council was to imitate so worthy an example is mercly to give them credit for the ordinary feelings of mon. But the law—there it was, in plain, uneqaivo- cal language, ferbidding anything of the kind, Around them, on all sides, they heard them selves branded as thieves and robbers on the very ground of previous receptions of a similar nature. Whole vocabularies of expletives had been exhausted in consigning them to infamy for having expended the public money for civic celebrations, Under the circume es, what could they do but suffer the Leander) arrival to pass unnoticed? . They did #0; and, as might have been ex- pected, the very men who were the loudest in reprobating their previous out!ays for public re- ceptions now burst into fury at their neglect of our British visiters. When they gave a civic unnatural value, nor the streets torn to picecs | festival they were called thievos; when they @id not ‘they were upbraided for their mean- Tuose “Unrortunats CeLEst1a1s.—Cannot ness and want of courtesy.

We ask for port of several vessels of war for .Vera Craz or for glavers, This confirms a previous letter to the same import; and the same question which then suggested itself again recurs : what possible business can a Spanish fleet have at Vera Cruz at this pestilential season of the year, unless it is connected with some great and comprehensive project of a coup d’état by Santa Anna? In proof of this general rumor of a compact, offensive and defensive, between the Captain General of Cuba, in behalf of Spain, and Santa Anna, El Cabano, the organ of the Cuban Junta of this city, adduces the following poin' of evidence :— * 1.—The interview of Santa Anna and Canedo, du- ring his stay in Havana, which lasted about four pears sd the Molino, the residence of the Captain eneral. 2.—The incorporation of avout forty Spanish offi- cers in the ranks of the Mexican see 3.—-Part of the Spanish fleet are cruising near Vera Cruz, subject to the orders of Santa Anna. 4.—A contract between the government of Cuba and Mexico, to provide the latter with arms and mu- nitions of war. 4; 5.—The grand decoration of Carlos III. to Santa Arma from the Queen of Spain. 6.---The allusions of Arista to aunexation, instead of the restoration of the monarchy, believed to be propagated by Santa Anna. Wonder what Secretary Marcy is doing at Washington. It is alleged that he is at logger- heads with Mr. Buchanan upon the subject of the instructions of the Jatter regarding his fu- ture negotiations in London on the fishery question. Can it be that our Premier regards the fishery question as more pressing in its de- mands for action than the affairs of Cuba, Mexi- co, and Spain? Or is he awaiting the arrival of Gen. Almonte at Washington? Porhaps he is; but let him prepare for a coup d’état from Santa Anna which will make Mexico an em- pire, or a dependency again of the Spanish crown, under the vice royalty of the present Dictator. Is our Premier wide awake. Pactric Rattroap.—Our State Assembly have been amusing themselves, to fillup their time, with another learned debate on the bill to in- corporate the New York Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company. One member is afraid that this company will turn out to be & monster cor- poration, like Biddle’s National Bank, corrupt- ing the political elections, and controlling the price of cotton and flour, with their hundred mil- lions of capital stock. In fact, the bill looked to him very much like a cat in the meal tub, and he preferred to keep his distance. Mr. Taylor, who seems better to understand what he is talking about, considered this project a great and glorious enterprise, as itis, But he was neutralized by a whig member from the ru- ral districts. who flatly pronounced the concern a Wall street speculation of the South Sea bub” ble order. Mr. Wood, however, extinguished the argument of the rural gentleman ina few palpable hits for the road; and he was seconded in splendid style by Mr. Littlejohn, who is anything but a little John on this mighty question. Mr. Shaw pronounced the idea that the tre- mendous commerce of Asia could be brought over our continent on a railroad, or on any- thing of the kind short of four or five hundred parallel tracks, a preposterous absurdity, or something of the sort. Still he is of the opinion that arailroad to the Pacific may be useful to the country in a pecuniary point of view—so are we. And, accordingly. we agree with Mr. Shaw, that the bill ought to be perfected so as to be as acceptable to Congress as possible. Sut if Mr. Shaw means by this that it would be. good policy to kill the bill by ‘delay we cannot coincide with Mr. Shaw. We consider it the duty of New York, from her paramount interest in the work, to break ground upon this Pacific railroad. Let us get the thing started at all hazards. There is no danger that a cor- poration to build this road will employ its hun- dred millions of capital to overturn the liber- ties of the country. Pshaw! TWREDLE-pUM AND TwEEDLE-per.—A quarrel, considerably fiercer than that between Russia and Turkey, remains unseitled between the True National Democrat, “the Original Ja- cobs,” and the Mational Democrat, the “real genuine Original Jacobs,” upon the subject of the Tammany Hall rioters, It will be remem- hered that shortly after the Presidential elec- tion last fall, the Democratic General Commit- tee was attacked in Old Tammany by a posse of outsiders, and that Augustus Schell, chairman, received some ugly knocks and cuts about the cranium. Had he not been ahard shell the consequences might have wound up his politi- eal career. He has survived to see the as: ing party brought to trial; but the technical difficulties to their condemnation induced the organ of the hard shells—the ‘real genuine Original Jacobs”—to suspect that there was foul play somewhere. and so he came out with a charge the other day of ‘disgusting raseality” in the management of the trial. The soft shell Silibustero organ—*the Original Jacobs” —flings back the accusation of “disgusting rascality” upon his neighbor, the hard shell, with interest. Meantime, the sentence of the rioters has been postponed to the July term. Therefore let us hope that there will be a compromise between the two warlike brethren of the Jacobs family. Why should there be arow between tweed! dum and tweedle-dec ? information. Something should be done for these unfortunate Celestials. TiweLy Warnivc.—The season of the year is at hand when the watering places and fashion- able resorts of the seaboard and the interior are infésted with all sorts of adventurers and Jilibusteros on a small scale. Among them there is occasionally to be found some presum- ing genius in the unauthorized character of a correspondent or attaché of the New York Heravp. Against all such impostors we recom- mend to hotel keepers and others an applica- tion for their certificate frem the HeraLp office, where there is any ground of reasonable doubt of the real character of the individual. And be it further remembered, that all our cor- respondents are instructed to “ pay as they go.” Talk on ’Change, Cotton was again active, with sales of 4,000 bales, with- out change in prices. Tobacco again sold to the extent of about 500 hogsheads, at full prices. Breadatuffs were without change. Groceries and provisions were inactive, without alteration of moment in prices, There was some disposition manifested to hold back in some grticles until the arrival of the Africa, which was about due, ‘The want of dock room for shipping was seriously com- plained of. Vessels were compelled to lay at the ends of the piers, often several tier deep, and wait for days to- gether before getting a suitable berth to discharge. It was contended that it might be unsafe to fill out piers in the East river, but that no fear was to be appreheaded from a similar operation on the North river side. It was suggested that ample deoks on thst side of the town should be built for the accommodation of shipping. These might be formed into a large basin, by driving piles around three sides, with an entrance for vessels oa the outer line or wall. In such docks vessels could, in large numbers, be safely accommodated. A succes- sion of these might line the North river shor from near the Battery to Fortieth or Fiftieth atreet, if necessary. Moderate dock fees might be im- posed, which might be applied to their repairs, &., and to sink their original cost A great convenience would arise from assorting the shipping. One large basin might be known as the Liverpool dock, and others as the Lon- don, Havre, or Continental dock, the West India avd California docks, &c. Much time was lost and confusion experienced from the scatterei and irregular berths which vessels occupied at present. ‘Tt was suggested that as the business wharves would necessarily extend up the island, that truck railroads, with turn outs at the piers, would greatly ‘acilitate the ‘transportation of goods from one extremity to the other, The Pilot law just passed by the Legislature, though not as good in all its provisions as desirable, yet in tne main it was considered satisfactory. The blockade of Buezos Ayres by Urquiza was thought to be unfavorable to American trade, and the exercise of energetic measures fur its protection was considered ne essary. Buenos Ayres was one of the most extensive markets for bides, the value of which was likely to be materially enttanced by any long continued interruption to commercial intercourse. The Crystal Palace, ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE ITALIAN DE- PARTMENT. Among the rarest and most valuable contributions from abroad to the New York Exhibition will be those em braced in the Italian department. Thexe contributions are row rapidly coming in, aud we will venture to say that very few persons have yet fully anticipated tha variety, the extent, and the vaiue of this unique aod choice col lection, It is especially rich in works of art—paintings pnd sculpture—works of the old masters, originals as well as imitations, and some of the finest creations of modern genius, ‘We have glanced over an advance sheet of the Italizn catalogue, containing the Piedmonte:e. Milanese, and Mo- denese contributions. This catalogue does not coataia any of the rare and choice contributions from Flerence ani Rome, and yet it could furnieh, in works of art alone, a most interesting and curious exhibition of itself. As a specimen of this department the reader may be gratified by an enumeration of some of the principal works ot merit entered for exhibition belonging to one branch of the arts alone, namely, sculpture, and for this purpose we will take so much of the catalogue as relates to ex- hibitors from the Duchy of Modena, Among these articles will be found a sismi-colosal statue of Pio Nono, the present Pope of Rome, in mar Ble, by Tensrani, a sculptor of Carrara, A mewber of the Academy of Fine Arts in Carcara will exhibit some beautiful specitoens and groups, namely, a Hebe; in statuary marble, by Cavova ; the Shepherd and a Mer- eury, by Thorwaldven ; the celebrated Saiver, mouated ona small pedestal, by Benvenuto Cellini, and statuary marble ; and an origioal group, the figures of the sizé of ife, representing two lovers going to the altar. Ia addi tion to these beautiful creations of genius, we are to have, ainong other fivished works of the chisel, the Venus, called ‘‘ The Paris Venus; a group of Capid and Payche, from the origtval in the capitol at Rome; « group of Ganymede, by Thorwaldsen ; a Bacchante, copy from the original of Lvigi Bienaime ; » copy from the original of Bartolino, Faith in God; the Dying Gladiator ; the Flora of the Capitol ; Saint John, by Prof Kumene Baratta ; and 71 Nozarreno, « bust from the original, by the same Professor in the Academy of Fine Arta in Car- tara, Besides these, we observe a variety of bacchantes cupids, nymphs, madonuas, and a beautiful collection of ' original statues, and groups in statuary marbls, togethor { with acollection of busts, antique and modern, such as the bust of Copernicus, being a copy from Tenerant ; another of the same, modelled by the author, with pedestal; bust of Dante; a bust of Jove, from the antique; a bustof Diana and a bust of Acollo, both from the watique, with pe- destals, &e. Some beautiful original specimens of groups or figures in statuary marble are also included ia this eol- lection:—A shepherdess seated, watching a sheep which is browsing near her; two Cupids disputing the posseasion of eheart; a Cupid feeding a bird; chiidran representing the Genius of Spring and the G vmmer; anemph crowning herself with flowers; Krmuntad writiog hor lover’s name ona tree, Ke. We have mentioned thus far the contribations of seulp ture from the Duchy of Mode Those from other parts of Italy are also rare, curions and valuable. With- out weary ing the patience of the reader by anything like a detail, wo shail merely enumerate, very briefly, a few alone, the more remarkable speeimeny from Venice and Milan:~A colosenal heed of Christ; a ovloa- sal bust of the poet Vicenzo Monti; bast of the size of life, in Carrara marble, representing \“Re- signation;”’ another representing “Religious Meditation,’ 4 beantifal statuein Carrara marble, of the size of lite, sepresenting “ The Soldier's Child,” a bust of » vetted Woes, lile nine, wed @ very elegant work of art repie- senting “Eye aftor the Fall,” of the size of life, alao Carrara warble. In this will be found some | exquisitely chiselled{ groups and figures smaller than life, fuch as the “ Boy Fisherman;’ the group of ‘ Atalaand Chactas;” the “Fishing” group;” the “ First Step,’ &e., &@.; also some very chaste and charming fancy pleces, such as ‘‘ A Child on » Weve,” in Carrara marble; “A Young GirDiseovered by Cupid Among Reses;”? “ 4 Cage Bull of Cupids,” in Carrara marble; and mmny others, of equal merit and genius. ‘ The contributions from Rome and Flerence will materi> ally increase this splendid list of the works of Malla ‘ genius, which, altogether, will furnish one of the fimes¢ exbibitions ever witnessed in this country. The onta<" | logues referred to contain also a general list of the paint- ings contained in the Italian eontribution, and works somnected with that department of the arts; but the length to which this article has extended will render 1@ necessary to defer any notice of these to a future coef 4 casion.

Chambers & Heiser, for whom she was built, had in consequence refused to take Lor, is altogether untrue. | Toe damage she received upon «xamination was found * to be o' a very trifling character, and was made good in a very few hours, and she is now as stiff and etaunch ag before she left the stocks.
