IMPROVEMENT OF THE HUDSON RIVER, Mar. PRAtT, from the Committee on Commerce, report- ed oa the resolution im regard to the improvement ef the navigation of ibe Hudson river, The report is lengthy, and appended thereto are letters from Major Delafield, of the Uxited States Corps of Engineers, having the go- vernmeut work upon the river in charge, and Isaac New- ton, Fsq., in reply to interrogatory letters addressed to them by the committee, The report briefly recapitulates the difficulties ana cbstructions to the navigation of the orporate the Hudson, mainly ariving from the action of the freshets | and the tides upoa the sand bottom, the ice dams in the winter, sod the sprend of the river over a very wide sur- face at cillerent po nts. From these causes shoals and bara exist, which render the river, ia places, at low water, unravigable even with boats adapted to the en- larged canal. ‘The report reviews the former appropri- ations by the £tate for the improvement of the channel of the river, and their use. The State appropriation of $150,000 in 1797 was thrown away, for the most part, in the erection of wing dams, which only change the lo cality of bars, apd do not remove them. Yhe Congres- sional appropriations of $10,000 in 1831, and between that period and 1849, of $270,000, were more effective, and under the direction of skilful engineers, the depth of water on the shoals was increased by four to six ‘eet, and the navigation was better than ever before known. But the »pproppriaions being discontinued, the work suspendel, until ia 1852 the bars had again formed and the obstructions became serious. From 1845 to 1882, the cities of Albany and Lroy and the State had mace appropriatiovs which were of much temporary be neat. fa the latter year, Congress appropriated $50,000 to the improvement of the river, of which $31,009 has been ured in dretying an? dispersing the bara, and $19,000 remains to bo applied the coming season. Tris will afford temporary remedy, but is insufficient for ef- fectual improvement. It is supposed $400,000 to $500,- 000 will be required for substantial, lasting improve. ments, to furnish» channel not less than nine feet deep, which’ is sufficient. The report urges in favor of the work the losses which annually occur by the destruc- tion and delay of property, an estimate of which may be formed when it is remembered that property to the va- Tue of $150,000,000 annually arr ves and departs upon eur capals at the { tide water. The propriety ef appropriations by government is ar. geed from the fact that the Hndson is a tidal river, the great highway of n commerce from which the gor” erpment derives th and importance; and that at its head are plac t Mories for the st tory of munitions of war, which would alore wuthorize the expenditures re quired to insure a safe and convenient transportation. It is uryed that the river is but a linkin that great chain of internal communication of which the Erie canal—upon which the State is expending millions—forms a part; and in view of the gloomy prospect of appropriations by Coa- 58, the committee would have asked an appropriation From the Legislature cf the Stato for this work. Hut the present condition of the finances, and the constitutional barrier to State indebtedness, render it imprasticable, and they therefore recommend only the adoption of a re= solution, a6 follows:— Resolved, (if the Assembly concur,) That the Senators and Representatives from this State in Congress be re- quested to urge the passage of a law making an appro- priation for the removal of the obstructions in the Had- fon river, upon a scule which will permanent and complete improvement to its navigation. Resolved, That the Governor be requested to transmit scopy of the foregoing resolution to each of the Sena- tors and Representatives from this State at Washington. ‘To incorporafe Horatio Potter and others, trustees of the fund for the relie’ of the widows and orphans of de- ceased clergy of the Protestant Episcopal church.

WaTeRBURY, making the office of Registry of the city of New York a salaried one, pesieid Mr. Ruopes, to authorise the Supervisors of Kings to increase the salary of the County Treasurer to $1,500, MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS—TUE MILITARY—TIU: INVITATION OF THE TEN GOVRANERS. Mr. BLATCHFORD called ie the resolution providing for the election of a United States Senator, on the 6th of February, at 120’clock. The resolution was passed. Mr. Biatonvorp called up the joint resolutions relative to Mr. Ruggles’ patent for lands under water in New York harbor; and the resolution was passed. _ Mr. Warennury called up his resolution directing an inquiry whether there were any companies or regiments organized, composed of unnaturalized forvigners, and if 80, to disband them. Mr. W. said the law was clear, and he simply wished it enforced, Mr. AITKEN moved a division of the resolution—drst, whether any such companies, &c., were organized, Mr. Mexpy would decidecly vote for the first part of this resolution. Mr. WarkRBURY—The law says the Adjutant General shail disband companies, &c., not properly organized. Mr. Muxpy—Then there is no need of this resolution. Mr, Ricktesox—The inquiry was not proper; and if on inquiry, it was found that companies improperly organ- ized did exist, then they should be disbanded. Mr, Perry.—There are such crganizations, aad they should be disbanded. ‘The Adjutant General would doubtless be pleased with an expression from the House. The law is clear enough already, ‘The first part of the resolution waa adopted. ‘The second coming up, sore rad moved to lay the whole subject on the ta- le. Lovet. The resolution was then adopted, (86 to 24) so as to read:— Resolved, That the Adjutant General be requested to inform the House whether any regiment, battalion or cox panies at present organized, are organized in viola- tion of section 4, title 4, article 1, of the Militia law of this State; and if any such are organized, that he take the necessary xteps to disband them. Mr. Macvike called up the invitation of the Ten Gov- ernors to the Legislature to visit the charitable institu- tions of the city of New York. Mr. Luicn wished every member to see these institu- tions. They were noble monuments of the munificence of the city, Yet he was opposed to having this invita- tion accepted. The money placed in the hands of these ‘Ten Governors was to suppers the poor, the sick, the insane and the criminal. If this invitation is accepted, it will absorb at least $1,500, If the members do not belong to one or the other of these classes, they should not accept it. There is great suffering in New York. Alms are being raised to aid the poor, and coming up even from the slaves of Alabama. It would be 4 shame to prostitute these funds for such a purpose. Besides, these entertainments do not always result to the honor of the Legislature. There are always hangers-on who crowd thrmselves into these entertainments, and behave shamefully. They would dos® now. {He read froma New York paper the opivion of one of the Governors against the invitation.) The money expended would be taken out of the mouths of the hungry. Mr. Perry read the opinion of another of the Gover- nors, in which the propriety of these entertainments was commended. ‘Mr. WyGANT moved to indefinitely postpone the sub- ject. Mr. A. G, Wii1Ams trusted the invitation wou'd be accepted. Itwas a usual compliment, and useful, in enabling the members to understand the noble charac- ter of the charitable institutions of that city. Probably not cne in ten of the members have ever visited those institutions, They cannot, therefore, act as intelli- gently as they otherwise would, when questions relating to them come up. Mr. W. urged his views at length. Mr. Hert oppored the acceptance of the invitation, becauee the Legislature was not sent here to waste time in jaunts and junketings. Business was pressing upon the Houre, and it should be attended to. The visit might be pleasant; but duty forbade it. Mr. Ruopes thought the invitation might be accepted with propriety if it be beyond the usual day of adjoura- ment, and if no wines are furnished. Mr. Boynron concurred in the opinion that the Legis- lature had no time to waste in the manner proposed. Mr. O’Kurrz thought it would be well to accept this invitation. Nothing would be lost to the people if their repreventatives allowed themselves more recreation. He answered some of the arguments urged against accepting the invitation. Mr. MUNnox would be willing to accept this invitation, if for no other reason, to show that the people's repre- sentatives can behave themselves on @ccasions like that propored. Mr. Muypay hoped the invitation might be accepted. ‘The visit would be alike profitabie and interesting to the members. Mr. Heapiey did not care personally whether this in- vitation was accepted or not; but he thought it improper to pass obloquy upon the gentlemen who had proffered the invitation. Mr. Watrrvvry (id not think the Ten Governors hai a right to expend $1,500 for the purpose proposed. They could use that sum more appropriately. ‘Mr. A1rxey said this appropriation would not be taken from any charitable fund, but from a contingent fund. He repelled the imputation improperly cast upon the members of the Inst Legislature, Mr. MaGuiri had no fear that the members of a Maine Law House would disgrace themselves. If they thought they would, they should, by all means, vote against this resolution. Mr. Baker said the House, would, before the session closed, be called upon to make appropriations to some of the institutions members were invited to visit, It was quite proper, therefore, that the invitation should be accepted. Mr. B. also regelled the charge that the last visit of the Legislature war disreputable. Mr. Cocks moved that the expense of the visit be borne by the individual members. Mr. S. B. Cou deemed the invitation eminently pro- per, and its acceptance right. Mr, Coreman believed that the present Legislature could visit New York without disgracing themselves or the Stat Mr. PECK spoke in favor of accepting the invitation. Mr. Stxanive had heard no good argument in favor of accepting this invitation, except that it would afford members information. But from the hasty manner in which this visit must be gone through with, very little real useful intelligence could be acquired. ides, the House had no time to spare for this purpose—a purpose which, judging from the tone of the papers Inst year, was not creditable to the House. Mr. O’Kyerx moved the previous question, Carried; and the invitstion was ascepted. Adjourned to 4 P. M. City Intelligence, ; ‘Tas Mayor AND Tee Liqvor Deavers,—We understand that a numberof persons were brought before the Mayor yesterday, charged with selling liquor on Sunday, in vio- lation of the statute, Twelve licenses were revoked, and the Mayor warned all who were bronght before him that he would enforce the law in every instance. Among others, Bill Poole, keeper of » bar room corner of Broad- way and Howard street, was brought before his Honor, and on being questioned, acknowledged that he had ao license in his own pame, avd that he was doing business on behalf a friend of his, named Cunningham, who is of course the responsible party. The Mayor dismissed Poole with a severe reprimand for his being in any way connected with the violation of the Sunday liquor law. It is understood that umber of other dealers are to be brought up to-day to answer to charges of selling liquor illegally.

Interesting from Bermada. The brig Tornado, Capt. McCarthy, arrived yester- day morning from Bermuda. She brings us advices to the 10th inst, We make the following interesting extracts from the Bermudian of that date:— AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. ‘We @anced briefly, in our last, to the active opera- tions of our agriculturists at the present time. Not less than 6,000 barrels of potatoes for planting have been already imported from America; and we are satisfied we shall be within the mark when we state, that the entire aggregate of that article of importation for agricultural purposes will, before many weeks have passed awai reach at least 7,000 barrels. If the like prosperity should attend the spirited efforts of our planters in the preseat yeer, which crowned their labors in the last, it will really be impossibte to over extimate the substantial benefits that must thereby accrue to the colony at large. While on this topic, we cannot omit communicating piece of pleasing information to the cultivators of arrow- Toot Several accounts from London, by last mail, state that the price of Bermuda arrow root bad risen to Is. 4d. per Ib.; and we learn that some persons have re- ceived information that sales of the same article had been effected at 1s, bd. We congratulate the cultiva- tors of arrow root throughout these islands upon the excellent Fae toed before them. The information has come at the “nick of time,’’ when preparations are im progress for sending the new crop to the mill. CHANGE IN THE COMMAND OF THE TROOPS. We understand that the important post of commandaat of Her Majesty’s forces in these islands, to which Colonel Hemphill, of the 26th regiment, acceded on his arrival here, in consexuence of his being the senior military of- ficer in Bermuda, has passed into the hands of his Excel- lency Colonel Murray. Thi: recent promotion of t! colonial regulations, whenever the government of a colony is administered a military officer of the rank of a colonel, he shall, in virtue thereof, assure the command of the troops. Col. Hempbill is aleo a full eolonel in the army, having been promoted to that high rank some time since; but seni- ority does not affect the regulation to which we have re- ferred, Indeed, the Governor being a colonel in the army, would continue as commandant eves were there at present in the colony an officer of a higher mili = tare de bere yng oh unless such officer were specl- ally commissioned to the command of the troops by Her Majesty. ” ABOLITION OF THR CUSTOMS, ‘The branch of the imperial Custom House, coeval with the commencement of trade in this colony, 1s at length “pumbered smong the things that were,” Instructions from the Board of Customs ia London by last mail, in- formed the authorities bere that the Custems Depart- ment in Bermués would cease to exist on the dth of Janve instant. Accordingly, on Friday last the Conptrotiers at the ports of Hamilton and St. George made their last entry in the books over which they have eilettionately pondered for so many years, aod on that day laid down, with thelr “gra: quill,” the tane- ‘or \ of their time-honored and easy vocation, J. 1. "vy @e 5 be lste Coaptrotler of Customs at #1 of Pennsylvania in rt, into retirement, the ion | Beek gpases , we learn, uj pens! as head of jear—a sum barely over i 4 the Customs Department here; and G. C. Harvey, Esq., Jate Conptroller of Customs at St. George, receives the retiring pension of £50 a year—just one- fourth of the calary which that gentleman enjoyed while in office. ‘The ecowomiesl disporttion of the present age stands out conspicuously in these pecuniary arrange- ments. Instructions were also received by the last packet to trausfer the duties heretofore 2 by the Imperial officers of customs to our colovial revenue officers. Ac- cordingly his Excellency the Governor has aquciated the Hon. W. B. Smith Receiver-General, to be troller of Customs and Navigation Laws at Hamilton; and Alexan- der J. M. Gilbert, Exq., Ansistant Receiver-General, to be Controller of Customs and Navigation Laws at the Port of St. George. The home government, however, in turn- ing over the duties of the offices we bave mentioned to our local officials, has omitted to provide any pay what- ever for the work to be performed—a not very pleasant fact to the gentlemen we should say. Police Intelligence. DISTURBANCE AMONG THE 'LONGSHOREMEN, Yesterday afternoon a disturbance of rather a serious nature took place at Pier 6, North River—a party of ‘Longshoremen having assailed the hands of the canal boat Sultan and the lake boat Goy. Fish, The cause for the assault arose from the arrangements relative to the loading of these crafts entirely unsatisfactory to the ‘Lopgshoremen. William Gases of the Sultan, was. without avy provocation, knocked down and tram, upon by a party of fifteen or twentymen, who threatened by their actions to kill him The disturbance havin assumed @ serious form, information of the riot w: despatched to the Chief’s office from the First ward tion hous A porse of men was thereupon sent to the aceno of the @isturbance; but before they had arrived there the rioters had ran away. Officer Stoughton, of the reserve corps, succeeded in arresting a man, named Patrick Hearney, who was ide fied by Mr. Clapper as one of the rioters. The prisoner ‘waa conveyed before Justice Connolly at the lower police court, where a complaint was made against him for as- sault and battery and riot. Mr. Clapper states in his affidavit that ashe was coming from the ship Empire State, alongside of which his canal boat lay unloading, he was followed by a party of about fifteen mea, usii very threatening language towards him; that one ol them, the prisorer, Patrick Hearney, came up bebind him, struck him on the head and knocked him down; that ho was, thereupon, beaten and kicked by these mening eevere manner; and that the entire party conducted themselves in a very riotous manner, bout three o'clock the same conduct was repeated, he says, by th men, who assailed him as before. Mr. Stephen Ha; of the lake boat Gov. , corroborated the evidence of Mr. Clapper, in every particular, he having been his companion during the riot. Justice Connolly held the prisoner to bail in the sum of $500 to aaswer the charge of ult and battery and riot. He was committed to the Tombs in default of bail. No further arrests have yet been made, on account of the great diffienlty encoun- tered by the complainants in {dentifying the assailants, as the great body of rioters were entire strangers to them. However, i is hoped that the disturbers of the public peace in this case will be soon arrested and dealt with according to law. THE LATE FORGERY OF TFXAS BONDS—BAILING OF THE ACCUSED, Yesterday afternoon Christopher A. Keene, charged with having forged three certificates of Texas State bonds and offering the same for sale to a Wall street broker, for the sura of $1,500, was bailed out of prison by the Hon. Levi Chattielé, Attorney General of this State, and Alfred Jimmerson, of 162 Greenwich street, in the sum ‘of $2,000 each, giving security for his appearance before the court of General Ses,ions, in the sumjof $1,000 each. AN ALLEGED HOTEL THIEF. For some time past some individual has been in the habit of stealing hats and overcoats from the New York Hotel while the boarders were partaking of their meain, This person, who caused the proprietors of the hotel a great deal of trouble, managed to elude the eyes of all thore who bad been on a sharp lookout for him. How- ever, a trap was Jaid for hi n overcoat was placed in such a situation that it could not be carried off without attracting the attention of a watcher that had been sta- tioned for the purpose, if possible, of detecting the thief. ‘the coat had not been long hanging in the ball before a man named Williaa Lewis, alias Luce, made his appear- ‘ance, and going up to the article of clothing, deliberate- ly took it down, and hala Seda to put it on when he was arrested by Robert Hor e of the proprietors «fthe hotel. The prisoner was taken in custody by offi- cer Corsa, who conveyed him before Justice Davison, at the Second district police court. Here, on searching him, a pawn ticket for a gold watch was found in his pocket. ‘The watch was recovered from the pawnbroker apd placed in the hands of Mr. Murray, clerk of the court. It is a bunting case lever, and has on one of the cases an engraving of a sbip of rather ancient model un- der full sail. An owner is wanted for the valuable, who can obtain the same by inquiring for the clerk of this court. The prisoner was committed to answer the charge of it larceny, the coat not being worth more than ten dollars, A SON CHARGED WITH STEALING $500 FROM HIS FA- ‘THER. Yesterday officer Farrington arrested a man named John Cronin, on a warrant issued by Justice Brennan, of the Second district police court, wherein he stands charged with having stolen $500 from his father, Mi- | chael Cronin, of No. 262 First avenue. It appears from the complaint made by Mr. Cri with the Bowery Savings’ and upwards; t ago bus son John obtained possession of his bank book, took it along with him to the Bowery Savings’ Bank and drew the above mention- ed sum out of thin institution. ‘The father states in his affidavit that the son on being accused of the act, admit ted his guilt and declared blmeelt a penitent. All of the money Cronin procured was found in his possession when arrested, The presiding magistrate at the Jeffer- son Market police court committed the accused for trial in default of $1,000 bail. ARREST FOR FORGERY. Yesterday afternoon aman named Charles A. Cornel was arrested on a charge of having forged the endorse. ment of Hawes & McKellop, to two checks, amounting to the sum of $260, for which le obtained the money. Tz appears that the accused called at the office of John Thompson, broker, corner of Broadway and Wall street, and prevented the two checks for payment—one for sixty dollars, drawn by F. M. Sheppard, of*the Minor India Rubber Company, to the order of Hawes & McKel. lop, and the other tor two hundred dollars, drawn on the Merchants’ Exehange Bank, by Lee, Murphy & Co., also made payable to the order of Hawes & McKellop. The checks were represented by Cornell to have been duly endorsed, and the money was paid. It afterwards Sppested that the endorsements were forgeries, and s police officer was sent in quest of Cornell, who was ar- rested yesterday. He was taken before Justice Bogart, piped wer police fcourt, who committed him for exa- pation. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO KILL A POLICEMAN, On Tuesday night a disturbance occurring in an alley way running out of Water street, in the Fourth ward, officer mith, of this ward, proceeded up the dark and Rarrow pasrage for the purpose of arresting one of ‘the disorderly characters. He soon came in contact with & man named Michael Murphy, who pushed the police- man, and « struggle ensued, in which Murphy attempted to strike the officer with a hatchet. Some citizens see- ing the situation of the officer, obtained the assistance of other policemen, who arrived just in time to prevent Murpby from striking officer Smith with the deadly weapon. The prisoner was then secured and taken to the station house. Yesterday he was brought before Justice Connolly, at the lower police court, who com- m.tted i to prison for felonious assault, in default of $500 bail, CHARGE OF BURGLARY. Officer Minor, of the Tenth ward police, arrested a young man named Wm. Vetereo, charged with having burglariously entered the store of Topbar Pearsall, 409 Second avenue, snd stealing therefrom a blanket aad duffalo robe valued at $20, The prisoner was found en- deavoring to di of the property in the Bowery, where he was arrested by the officer. The prisoner was taken before Justice Welsh, who commitied him for ex- amination, ‘Williamsburg City News.
