Pricw then read the following memorial to the Legislature:—. BO THE HON. LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OY NEW TORK. Gxyrizuen : Most of you are probably aware that at ‘the preseat time the business operations of this city are curtailed to an extent that has reduced the working elssecs to a state of dest tution and misery, such as has ‘never been witnrsxed in this country. A meeting was he!d in Hope Chapel on the evening of mber 20, 1854, to iuquire into the cause of the pro: it disastrous collapse of the business operations of our city, snd to deviso means to prevent tho recurrence of a eatastropbe in future. After a full ani free of different plans proposed for the relief of the sos, & preamble and resolutioas were ily ad from which we wow mal extracts, and to whicli we invite your sorious attention. “Whereas the condition of the working classes is pro- eminentiy attributable to unwise leg'slstion, favoring the traffic in the monopoly of the lands and other enpi- tal belonging to the people, and its accumulation in the ‘hands of afow fortunste apeculators, therefore, “Resolved, That a cow mittee of five persona be »ppoint- ed, whose duty it shall be to draw up three memorials to be addressed as follows;—One to the Legislature of tho Btate of New York, praying that the public lands of this Btate be to the actual setiler, in limited quanti- ties; that the further sa’e or them, except to actual set- il Hers, be prohibited, and that the quantity of land that 2 nero ey hereafter soquire ta ny manger, shall In sccordance with said resolution, the undersigned ‘Were appointed a committees t» draw up and present to Br Regen body # memoriaion tae subject matter ‘The public lands held in trust by the Legislature, are thecommon property of the people composing the State, and it is your ony ‘aud province to make such disposi- as will most con/uce to the prosperity and of the people, whose tepresentatives you have to be at the present time. believe that to reserve these lands for the free and exclusive use of the actual settler, tu limited quantities, is tho best disposition that can be made of them, with of the prosperity, E y tures; and would tend draw off from our large cities an immense number of a @ cultivation soul, am Sthsede to mustttalo themselves and families, aad leave @ large surplus to be added to the general weaith of the fe. ‘We hold that, in a country like ours, ssossing such Gieebaa teat cf ctivect, Goce ceed att of netionity ‘any largo clase of persons suffering for the necessaries and comforts of life; an’ the fact that there are such, i« conclusive evidence that our legis! n has beea im some particulag, aud as your particularly ia the disposition of the public domain, which we viow & common in- e@, to be dispose:t of in such a manner as will b> most bereficial to the great mass of the people. oecag “(that all men are entitled ‘Ye certain ee le lor eal among Lge he life, Nberty, anc toe pursuit o! iness."’ Ia the view o!

Now partics owning these dwellings are not obliged torent them, if they do not choose to do, but have a legally, to close their buildings, and refuse rent m to any person on any term: wha’ Suppose that all the pro erty owners of this cit such a course on tho ensuing first of y, and out of house and home a tgnantry of six hundred none of wi have # piece of land ve & right, ly, to claim as their owa— to obtain fhe tneans of lifo—and con- , Bo right to lifo itself.

In answer to these 8, it may be said that such » state of things ur, inasmuch as the owners of property be inflicting aninjury upon themselves as to preclude the idea of their pur- course.

John L. Daw- son, of aah abe « true and energetic friend of the Homestead b ll, and that we have full confitence in his abidty aud determination to bring this measure again before Congreas in such a shape as to seoure its passage at the present «sion. Resolved. that we hereby return our most heartfelt thanks to the friends of the Homestead bill in the Senate and House of Representatives, Believing as we do that these men are infucnced Me the highest and best motives of philantrophy and patriotism, we shall continue to hope that a kind providence may ensure to thom that reward which such services merit. In asking this bless: ing for them snd their families, we feel that auch offer- ing will be accepted, the more especially as the prayer springs from the hearts of those who have nothiag to bestow but that which can be invoked from Him wao is the great dispenser of ail true happiness. The foregoing resolutions were also unsnimourly adopted, The Committee on Organization prosoated the following report through their chairman, Mr. Ira B. Davis:— SYSTEM OF ORGANIZATION OF THE FRIENDS OF NA~ TIONAL INDUSTRY. Pico alae secure the wholo rights of the indi- vidual. Theory of Causes and Effects.—Whereas, in tho early history of men and nations, certain systems of govern- ment and finance, adapted to the wants of the inhabi- tants, were instituted, which in the further exisience of the people were periodically required to be changed, in contormity wita the physical and intellectual progress of mankind; so we see, in the nt central:zation of the land and the currency of the United States in the hands of a few capitalists, evidences of an inherent de fect in our land and monetary syetems, developsd to an imposing evil, which has already corrcod aad pluadered the active industry of our country to a degree of un- paralleled degradation and misery; and which bids fair, if unchecked, to tyrannize with more than monarchial power over the future dektinies of our aation. We, therefore, pro) the foliowing means for romedying these great and growing evils. Proposals for Remedy.—1st. By the enactment of laws by Congress, Prohibiting all further traffic in the public domain, and buting the same in limited quant.ties for the use of actual settlers only. 2d. nactment of laws by tho several States, limi- ting the quantity of land that any person shall here- after acquire, To accomplish the adoption of these fundamental prin- ciples, we Propose the following system of organization and concert of actign :— System of Organization.—1st. This association shall be represented by @ central committeo, primarily located in New York, having collateral committees, which will be instituted 'in cach city, town and village, throughout the United Stater—these committees being original, clected by public meetiogs and subsequently by ball’, beri @ majority of the enrolled members of each asso- ciation. 2d. The central commiitee in New York shall bs the executive committee of the whole organization, subject to confirmation or removal every three months, by a aia- jority of the voter of the members of the loeal ellstera association in New York, or untila majority of the votes of the whole association decide otherwise. The central committee eball consist of the different associa- tions of New York, now instituted, who shall continue in office until the organization is complete. 8d. The collateral committees (or associations) shall make big to the central committees every three months, the number of members, and euch other infor- }s mation of interest to the organization. To every member a copy of the rules of the associa- tion shall be delivered, with a card of membership, for which the sum of five cents must be paid. 4th. Every local association shall appoint a captain and lieutenant, whose duty it be to appoint ser- fraxs over every ten membe: When a general mect- ing is desired, it sball be the duty of the secretary of the arsociaticn to notify tho captain and geut A there shall ‘the sergeante, fen si notify members of his section. the Association. It in the intention of this association to agitate the land and pine reform, by local lectures, distributing pamphlets, chollenges to cou- troversy, perambulating lectures, &c’; and the election to office of only such persons aa ‘endorse this platiorm, and subscribe to this organization. In furtherance of this view, it shall also be the duty of the central com- mittee in New York to have a practical condensed work on political economy printed for general distribation at cost, together with such other generally important trea- tises on the Iand, currency, and other questions as may be deemed advieable. Each association mg nl ped to the central committes the sum of one and a half cents per week foreach member, which shall be transmitted by each collateral asrociation to the central committee as often as once in three months. At the termination of every quarter the Secretary of the Central Committee shall hkewise transm't a printed monograph of the entire «tate of the organigxtion, both financial and practical, to each collateral bfanch there- of. Should it be dermed expedient to alter or amend the rules of this organization the Ceatral Committes shall digest such plans as may be proposed, and notify the collateral assvciation of that deemed most efficient if the majority return an assent. The Central Committee shall then notify the entire o:ganization that the impro ved rules are adopted. Such local committee may de- vise such subsidiary rules as they shall deem lient; and apy local reform measure which any association re, runoing parallel with the general move- all be eur) io overy available manner by the entire association. ‘The report was read in German, for the information of that portion of the audience who did not understand the English language. Mr. Evia spoke in favor of the report. He anid that a large number of persons throughout the eountry had expressed themselves strongly in favor of the projected organization of an sesociaticn like that ia it. A8s, however, there would necessarily be tome differen :e in the societies in various localities, there must be a dif- ference in the organization so as to cover the pscu- liar grievances in those localities. This report was merely prel minary, and the plan proposed in it would have to undergo some modifications before it would be advisable to ad it. Tho organization, however, shonld be completed before the next election, so that those officials, and particularly the Common €ouncil, who bad treated their petitions with contempt or indif- ference, would be wade to feel that the wor! cleanses: ‘were not to be trifled with when they demanded that their interests should be consulted. Toeffect this desirable ob- without distinction of creed,country , should unite, should fraternize in one .

An immense concourse of people were collected yester- day morning in the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, to witness the launch of the United States frigate Sabino, The people began to assemble about nine o'clock A. M, and at hailf- past ten o'clock (high water) there were probably from ten to fifteen thousand persons prerent, The moraing was cold, but clear and invigorating, and every avaliable spot, where a sight of the launch could be obtained, thronged with spectators. A large number of ladios were present, collected principally on the quarter deck of the receiving ship North Carolina, where a band was execut ing some lively airs, to the performers discomfort, no doubt, on such a cold morning During the leagthoned time thoy were waiting for the sight, the poople dis- played a remarkable patience. Shivering forms might be seen buttoning their coats and turning up their collars with a settled determination on their faces to ree itout, Others, who had clambered up the dagstaffs to obtain better view, held on, though the wind was plercing, by the skin of thelr teeth for a mor- tal hour, and would not give in. About ten o'clock the steam tug made her appearance, and this inei- dent, in the opinion of some, wasa signal that the launch was about to take place, But the steamtug quietly lay to off the wharf, and the popular excitement fell at least thirty degrees, Presently @ trementous hemmering was beard. ‘Knocking away the props,’? suggerted a wiseacre with chattering teeth. “she'll go now,’’ hinted another, lootivg perfectly blue But go she didn’t, though it was unanimously voted that she ought, And ko another half hour elapsed, when the re- port of a gun from the starbourd side of the Norta Caro- lina warmed up once more the expectations of the people. One man, more collected than his neighbors, and a wag in his way, svouted immediately ‘She's off.”” A rush was made to the edge of the qunys—boys dashed in between the legs of tall men, and scrambled on all fours to get a s'ght of the ship. But she didn’t go of for full ten minutes even thea, and when that critical event did take place, there was a general exclamation of relief—like that of @ patient after hiy tooth bas been extracted. ‘(There she goes at last.’’ ‘Hooray!’ (Cheers from the Sabino, vigorously responded te by the excited multitude on every side.) Well, the ship was offat Inst. It was no fa arm now. Inthe poetical phraseology used on such occa. sions, she was at length ‘in her vative clement,’ after baving been thirty-one years trying to get there. It was really a succesful and highly satisfactory launch. Rushing down the slide, as though delighted to eacape from the old stocks, she plunged deep into the water, and rose with a buoyancy that brought another cheer from the spectators and a grand salute from the North Carolina. The Sabine had the American fing floating from her bow, and the vessels in the vicinity wore gaily decorated in ber honor. The impetus she received in her descent from the stocks, impelled her @ aistance of many hundred yards into the stream, and the steamtug being in readiness, she was qubsequently towed to the naval dock, where she now lies, Some historical notice of the Sabine will not be unin- teresting at the present time. She was commenced on the 12th of February, 1823, put in frame, and about t#o- thirds completed, when all work was suspended until the anticipated difficulty with France—arising out of claims on that government for injuries cone to our commerce. This was during the second term of Jack- son’s administration, The work was then recom. menced, but only lasted during three weeks, and nothing further was done until the 16th of May» 1864, when ordera were recrived from the Navy de- partment to complete and lauach the vessel. Owing to the length of time she bad remained on the stocks, she was of course found defective in many particulars. She bad, in fact, to be almost entirely remodelled. Hor ‘Keel was removed suds pew one ‘substituted. ” Twenty feet were added to her length, by cutting off twenty-fivo, and adding forty-five feet. Her bow was also altered and modernized, and other improvements made under the direction and euperintendence of FB. Delano, Esq., the naval constructor, Her frame is altogetber of live oak. ‘The dimensions of the Sabine are now as follows: — Length in all, 206 feet; length of keel, 180 feet; breadth of beam, 47 feet; depth of hold, 20 feet, and tonnage 2,046, government measure. Her srmament qill consist of ten S-inch shell guns of GBcwt., and twenty 32- pounders of 6Tewt., on her main deck, ani of two f-inch shot pivot guns of 12,000 Ibs. each, and sixteen 2-pounders of 33 cwt. on her spar deck—making alto- gether batteries containing forty-eight guns. The crew of the Sabine, when in commission, including officers, seamen, Iandemen, boys and marines, will number 475 all told, From the improvement in the model and from the weight of the metal wh: the department has de cided she sha’l carry, the Sabine will ¢oubtless prove one of the most efficient vessels of her size and class. The Fmptire City Affair. STATEMENT OF YOUNG HERNANDEZ. On Thursday last the Spanish Consul aad Mr. Carno- eli catled at the Claverack Institute, Mr. Carnobeli banded me a letter from my fatber, desiring me to come toCuba. I read the letter, and then told him I dil not with to go bome. The parish Consul then said that I must go to Cuba, and if I did not ¢o immediately I would Le thrown into prison if lever went there afterwards, I then told them that I would give them no answer until | aw my uncle, Joseph Elias Hernandez, who resides at No, 01 President street, Brooklyn, They said that [could not see my uncle, and I then told them that I would not go to Cuba without Orst baving an interview with him. ‘The Spanish Consul then said if I would come to New York with them they would let me see my uncle. I theo agreed to come to New York, and arrived here about ten o'clock on therame night When I got bere they refused, on my aeking them, to let me go to my uncle alone or with them. I then went with Mr. Carnobell to the boarding house No. 164 Chambers street, where I slept that night. ‘The next morning (Friday), when I arose from bed, I again begged them to let me ree my uncle, but | was re- fused. That afternoon Mr. Carnobeli took me on board the steamship Empire City, for the purpose of taking me to Cubs, When I got there I met my uncle, who asked me if | wanted to go to Cuba. I anewered in the nega- tive, and eaid that Mr. Carnobeli and the Consul had My uncle said if I wanted to go home low me to do so; when | again replied that I did not want togo. There were sbout ten Cubans with us at the time, and they all were witnesses to the con- versation, The statement made by Mr. Carnobeli that my uncle had forced me to stay in the United States, is not true. Iwas not prompted by bim to stay here; it was solely my own wish to remain. Refusing to go to Cubs, I left the ship, and went home with my uacle to Brooklyn, where Iam now stopping. My uncle was in- formed of Mr. Carnobeli’s actions by & telegraphic des- patch sent to bim by one of my friends at Claveract, etating that I bed been talen away from school against my will and wish.
