Mr, Buarcurorp from the mbly Committee on Ways and Means yesterday reported a bill in relation to the census of the State, which, by unanimous consent, was referred back to the committee, after a second read: {ing. to report complete. bill provides that the census shall be taken du- ba oxy and every tenth year thereafter. at the Secretary of State shall, as soon as possible ater the passage of the bill, procure the blanks for the urpose of taking the census, and furnish the same be- Jue the first of May in each census year, to the various county clerks in the State, ‘That the Common Council of each city, and Supervi- sors, &c., of each town in the State, shall, on or before the first Monday in May in each census year, appoint a Marshalin each election district to perform the duties prescribed by this act. iat the Marshs! shall proceed to enumerate the in- habitants in his election district on the first day of May in each census yesr.

The Schenectady Know Nothing Convention. In the Heraxp of Jan. 11, (yesterday,) I saw an arti- Ble in relation to the Know Nothing Convention of polters then in session at Schenectady. Sir, allow me Rocorrect a statement in that article, in relation to their Mijourmment to Albany. In the first place, it was a measure of the Seward members of that convention ; in the second place, they failed in adjourning said conven- fion to Albany; and, in the third place, they have not 2he strength in that now State counsil (bolters, as they Bre called,) to carry out Seward schemes. There are members there who will look well to Seward snap games. So far as the Senatorial question is concerned in the Le- gislature, no member of that body belonging to the “ or- nization’? called ‘‘ Know Nothings,’’ can vote for Wm . Seward, after viewing carefully his past acts on that. important question. His whole political course has been in direct opposition to every principle of that “organiza- tion.”’ Look at himin connection with the division of the School Fund; again, in relation to the Catholic clergy Dill; and, lastly, to his speech before the New England Society, a few days since, in New York. Sir, no member ‘of the New York State Legislature, belonging to a subor- eivate council of the New York State Council, or of the New York Grand Council, can vote or in any way support Ww. H. Seward, without violating severally their solemn obligations to organizations to which they belong, to their God and their country. Harbor Enczoachments, to the Senate, Jauuary 12, Mr, Brooxs introduced an ‘act for the preservation of the harbor of New York from encroachments, and to prevent obstructions to tho mecessary navigation thereof, which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce and Navigation. Reported favorably from said committee and committed to the Committee of the Whole:— Whereas, It is xeprepeniad. to the Legislature that the arbor of New York has become much obstructed by the erection of piers, wharves, and bulkheads, and by other ‘causes, and that grants of ri land under its to ocow its waters bave been made, and are lable to be made, it of the in- without sufficient information of the ext jury that may be inflicted by such occupation by nar- Towing thechannel and otherwise; with Rhis view there- fore, of obtaining the proper information to enable the ture to control such erections, and prevent such jury: The peopte of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact ay follows:— Seo. 1, A Board of Commi citizens of the United State: phall, at any time hereafter, ippo'nted in their place, br in'the places of any of them, is hereby created, who shall bave power, and whose duty it shall be: 1, To cause the necessary surveys and examinations ¥{ the said harbor, and the adjacent lands, to be made ty skilful persons, and to obtain all needful information from other sources, iu order to ascertain the present con- Jition of the raid harbor, particularly whether the na- digation thereof is improperly obstructed, and whether, in reference to the present and probable future commerce bf the cities of New York and Brooklyn, any further ex- Aenrion of piers, wharves or bulkheads, into the said arbor, ought to be whether any ¢: already made by the legislature or he commussirners of the land office, or the Common Council of the city of New York, for the filling up of an Jad under water of the said harbor, will, if eee impolr ‘or obstruct the necessary navigation of the said 2, To report to the Legislature from time to time, and {5 p00n as practicable, and at least by the second Tues- of January next, the result of the information thus Obtained, and the evidence upon which the same shall $, To submit and present to the Legistature the estab- Ushment of such exterior lines, in different parts of the allowed, and to what extent; and waid harbor, opposite and along tne water fronts of the Sitien of New Yor Brooklyn, the county of Kings wad of Richmond, and beyoud which, no erection x it obstruction of any kind should be permit. to be made. 4.

The ‘Ladi Ball for the Poor of the Cty of New York’? came off according to announcement at the Academy of Music, last night. This ball, as the Hx Rap readers have previously been informed, was gotten up by some of our first citizens, #0 called, and the profits were to go to the fund for the relief of the starving poor, The financial result of the festival will be good, and a large sum will be netted for the purpose for which the ball was given. As for the ball itself, it was only a crush. The Academy put on its best clothes for the occasion. The parquette was floored over flush with the stage, and the wings were covered with drapery. The fronts of the box were decorated with flowers, and the stage was lighted with an extra chandelier. At ten o’closk there were about five thousand persons in the House, and It presented a superb coup dail. But, what a mixed company! Lawyers and gamblers, stock brokers and politicians, financiers and shoulder hitters, gentlemen and hack drivers, policemen and judges, ladies from the Fifth avenue, ladies from the Dry Dock, and ladies from quarters not to be mentioned. There wasa great deal of the second best society, a little of the first, and a great deal of no society at all. Dancing was almost out of the question. The floor of the ball room is of a most irregular shape, hardly suited for auch purpose. It resembles a lozenge with two pieces hollowed out of the circumference. This floor was closely packed with men and women, and it was with a great deal of difficulty that certain persevering people, in the pursuit of Terpsichorean ploasures under diffi- culties, could clear a space sufficient for a waltz, ora quadrille with twenty or thirty sets. Doubtless many persors who intended to dance retired from the floor in dismay; but! it ts very certain tnat the ‘fashionable people”? who condescended to appear confined themselves to their boxes, from which the Fifth avenue surveyed MEO, es its eye- lasses, in solemn state, the evolutions of the lower mil- ion, ‘there were many ladies present who adhered to their bonnets; and, notwithstanding the ukase of the manogers to the contrary, we saw many thin-legged, Jong-coated, pale faced sprigs of the codfish aristocrac on the floor, holding their hats im their hands, or, wit an air intended to be very aristocratic and irresistibly killing, carrying them under their arms, The display of female Meany was not particularly brilliant,when we come to consider the very number of people present. The ladies were not so well wed as the gentlemen. The fair sex, lately, seem to have taken an extraordinary fancy for tremendously large plaids and excessively broad stripes. That sort of thing docs not become everybody. The ball went on till three o’clock—everybody running against everybody, and nobody comfortable. Although 8 collision was expected between the codfish party aud the more liberal patrons of the ball, yet, we are happy to say, nothing occurred to mar the festivities. Every- thing was very respectable. The dances were executed with solemn grandeur, and after each of them the mili- tary band played, and the promenaders moved about in crowds, looking very stupid and very miserable. Ger- tain gentlemen, with white rosettes, supposed to be the members of the Floor Committee, rushed about in a bighly excited state of mind. They knew nothing, however, and were acquainted with nobody. At any rate several of them informed us that such was the melancholy fact. With the usual brilliancy of concep- tion which has marked the managemont of this house since its opening. the depository for hats and coats was located up four flights of stairs, and in the corner of the building furthermost from the door. Here the ople entrusted their personal property to gentlemen with tad tempers and a limited knowledge of the English language. So great was the r that the policemen were ob! to adopt the post office plan, and form lines two deep, from the door t) the place where the coats, hats, and canes were deposited, As may be supposed from what bas been said it will be imagined that the company did not include many distinguished peri. We noticed) however, John » Jol hrane, Esq., and a las above, Van Buren, force from the Custom Honae, J. W. Gerard, Esq., J. Depeys- ter Ogden, Esq., and other well known citizens, The Chevalier Wikoif was there and was a lion. It was estimated that six thousand tickets were sold for this ball, and this would give the gross receipts twelve thousand dollars. The expenses will probably reach fiiteen hundred or two thoysand dollars, ‘The Astor House Club Ball. The first annnal ball of the Astor House Club came off last evening ut Niblo’s Saloon, with great cclat. About two hundred of the employés of the Astor House were present, while the remainder of the assemblage consisted ofa very select company, und numbering about eighteen hundred persons, joined in the festivities. Among those present, we noticed Simeon Draper, Ea4., Messrs, Colman & Stetson, of the Astor House, S. C. Staggly, John Ross Esq., Col. Wells, Gen. Morris, Charles Coleman, Charles Wait, Captain Porter, James Wood, W. Colton and Ex- Alderman Sturtevant, Captains Pratt, Warner and Kear- ney, of the London packets, and Col. Bird. The room was tastefully decorated for the occasion, and the music was discoursed in fine style by Dodworth’s Band. The dancing commenced about nine o'clock, when aly the assemblage present joined in the quadrille. The object being a charitable one, the number of tick- ets were all sold two or three days before the ball came off, The affair was got up folely tor the benefit of the suffering poor, the proceeds being handed over to the authorities for the suffering poor.
