CLAIMS POR CANAL DAMAGES, Mr. Witutams, by bill, for the relief of certain citizens of Rochester, who claim damages by reason of the di- wersion of the waters o! the Genesee river. TRINITY CHURCH PROPERTY, Mr. SrnxoeR moved % resolution that in the sense of this Senate no procesdings against Trinity Church, by the Attorney General, on the part of the people of this State, except such as were authorized by the law of 1853, mro necessary, Mr. W. CLARK opposed the resolution. Mr. SrExcer remarked that his resolution only pointed out that the law already provides for the proper investi- gation of the whole subject. Mr. Crospy thought that resolution, if passed by this ody, would be justly considered a very high-handel net by the whole community. Mr. Yost considered the resolution a very proper ono, He demied that the grant to Trinity Church was a fraud, us claimed by the Senator from the Twenty fourth (Mr. W, Clark Mr, W. Crark—It wae eo pronounced by the English courts. Mr. Yort—That is not vo, and the Senator would fiad take by reference to the reports of the Com- fthe Lani Office in 1836. He had viewed this subject more as Jecislator than asa lawyer. We had cothing to do with the question whether Lord Corn- bury acted wisely or otherwise in making the grant of Jand to Trinity. ureh, but rbat Jease having been made, there waa nothing in it, or hes anything with regard to it occurred since then, to invalidate the church’s title to theland. More than ‘his, all that hae been asserted during the long controversy with regard to this proper- ty and its immense accuma’ations, &e., was all moon- ine, The surplus revenues of ‘the church were an- nualiy expended in good works. Tnere was not an Epis- copal church in the city of New York but it had assist ed, and scarcely on Episcopal church in th State but had been relieved by the outstretched liberal hand of Trinity church. Mz. Yost then quoted from several law books to sustain his position that that church's title t» the lease was criginally legal, and that nothing has since occurred to invalidate it Mr. W. Craxk contended that the Provincial Goveraor never had a right to make the . The lease was given without the consent of the home government, and still more, that government annulled the law granting the Tease, yet was it still held; but how could it be, other then by fraud’ The only right thet the church has to the property, in his judgment, arose from the delay of the State ot New York to act in the premises. Mr Bxooxs contended that the title of Trinity Church to this property was good and valid, and had been re cognives as such by various acts of the Legislatur-. He slo maintained that he provinc‘al law granting the samo was legal and valid in every point of view, and that whenever it came before our State officers or tiv Courts of this State, it was always so recog- nived. He thought it strange that this Legislature was found to-cay discussirg a matter which had been im controversy for upwards of 140 years, without apy other end being attained than to det- ter the church's title, if that were possible. The ctaitman of the Judiciary had said during this debate, thatif it were possivle for the State to get pos fession of its property. Le was in favor of seoutlag \t—- that tt would be weil applied in the payment of her debts. Now, with all cue deference to that Senator (Mr. W. Clark), he fels compelled to characterize that entiment as utterly agrarian—a sentiment that was becoming too prevalent in this country, aad which Will lead us eventnally to adopt the views of Faany right, that all property should be divided equally eve ty three years, We ought ce:tainly to expect this ond whef¥ we bear euch a strict conservative as thy Seaator fromthe Twenty-fourth uttering so agrarian a senti- ment. Mr. Caosny remarked that he was surprised that no- thing had been raid on this question to-day, by certain Senators around the circle; he alluded chiefly to the Senators from the Fourth avd Thirty-first.

I perceive by the report of proceedings in the Senate of New York, in your paper of last evening, Mr. Dickin- son is reported to have said tuat Gov. Seward withdrew the nomination of Hiram Ketchum from the office of Judge of Supreme Court, to which be had been nominat- ed, from representations made to him by Gov. Root, Mr. Dickinson and myself. My friend, Mr. Dickinson, must be in error in regard to myself, as the nomination was made to the Senate in April, 1841, and my term of office as Senator expired on the first of January, 1841. At the time of presenting the nomination of Mr. Ketchum I was not a member of the Senate, and could not, therefore, have advised the withdrawal of hia name.

Among the visiters at the Meyor’s office were the Grand Jury of New York, who called upon Mr. Wood to testify to him in person their appreciation of the course he Lad pursued gince he entered upon the duties of his office, and to express their willingness to co-operate with him in the enforcement of the laws, and of those in particular that relate to the observance of the Sabbath. Aresolution was read by the foreman, Mc. James W. Harper, of a complimentary character to the Mayor, to which he responded substantially as follows:— Mr. FOREMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THEGRAND JuRY—For the honor which you have conferred on me, both by your visit and the resolution just read, I sincerely thank you, it is cause of much pleasure to me to know that my exertions so far have received the approbation of so im portant a body as the Grand Jury of New York It is ty determination to enforce the laws to their fullest ex- tent, and to render our city as distinguished for its observance of law and order as it hitherto has been for their abuse. Should I, however prove negligeat in the fultillment of my dattes, it is my earnest wish that you should notify me thereof. THE MAYOR AND PAUPER INMIGRANTS. ‘The Mayor has certainly no sinecure, He is daily in- undated with parties seeking for iaterviews on all ques- tions relating to the city government. Yesterday Mr. Schmidt, a gentleman extensively engaged in the ship- ping interest, called on the Mayor respecting his late action with regard to the Belglan paupera, when @ con- versation ensued in which the chief magiatrate ex- essed bis determination to use all the power vested in f m to prevent the landing of immigrant paupers :— Mr. Scumupr asked his Honor what was this definition of a pauper? fhe Mayor said he thought Mr. Schmidt could as well define what a pauper was as he. Mr. Scumipr wished to know if at adle bodied man, landing with $20 in his pocket, would be considered a auper? Zi ‘The Mayor said that it depended altogether on the circumstances under which he arrived here. If moans were provided him by any government, merely to come here, he should be considered as a pauper and sent back to the place from whence he came. Too, many paupers arivell here, particularly the Dutch, and, said the May- on, “I tell you, Mr. Schmidt, if it be necessary to call out the forces within the power of the city government to fire on and sink every emigrant vessel —t into this harbor with pauper and crimioal emigrants, I shall do 80.” Judge Meech, of Jeilerson market, also called on the Mayor yesterday, and stated that he had been obliged to dismiss several complaints made by the authorities against parties for the violation of city ordinances,in con- wequence of the want ofidentification, These dismissals of complaints (nearly oné hundred in two weeks) entail an expense to the government of about $300 in costs, THE SWINE NUISANCE. The police captain of the Twenty second ward, in a re- port to the Mayor upon this subject, states that the number of begs in his district alone is 3,471; but he also gives the gratifying intelligence that the bon boiling establishments, or, a hecalls them, “the boilers,’’ have been removed. As the law all three or Spor pies to the owner ot occupant the Bayer is determined to keep them atriotly wi' imaits. THR MAYOR AND THE GAS COMPANY. The President and some cf the Directors of the Man- hattan Gas Company called upon the Mayor yesterday, im reference to the complaints which had been mide against them for the neglect of their employés in light- ing the Lampe. They alleged, aga reason for that the severe frost had affected the pipes ao that it im- posnible he the lamps in many of the streets. To thie the Mayor replied that they were obliged by the terms of. their contract to have the whole city lit at night, ani that as they must have been aware of this difficulty they should Lave taken moaeures to provide against It ARREST FOR SELLING OBSCENE BOOKS. John Atcheron a bookseller, doing business at No, 76 Nassau street, was arrested yesterday, ona charge of relling obscene books. Officer Jackson, of the Second ward, by whom the arrest made, took him before the Meyor, who transferred tee case over to Juatice Os- borne, The officer on etavching the store, foand number of books of the mort immoral character. As the carried on ia this we trust that the commendable exertions of the Mey or (or its suppression will be attended with complete success. The venders of these publications beset people going cn board of steamboats, ra'lroad cars, and even at the entrance to the toeatres, and until Mr. Wood took them in hand, they have carried om their business with perfect impunity ‘The following affidavit in the case of Atcheson was taken by Justice 0: tos Jemes Tivner, of » C8 Centre street, being duly sworn, said—Th ¢ purthared the book now here, called “The Mysteries of Venus, or the Arontory Life and Ad- ventures of Miss Kitty Pry,’ of Joun Atcheson, at his place of business, in the basement of house No. 74 Nas- enn street, ond believes that the sale and circulation of such books have a demoralzing tendency, as they are of a highly immodest character THR MAYOR'S BOOK.

Yesterday morning, shortly before five o'clock, a fire was discovered in the four story store 78 Pearl street, occupied by William H. Newman & Co., commission mer- chants. The building was principally @lled with four andcottoa, When the doors were broken open, Lieut. Dalton rushed in and saved all the books and papers he could find in the office, but in so doing he became al- most suffocated by amoke. The firemen soon cams, and the foreman of Engine Company No, 42, Mr. John J. Bloomfield, with two or three of his men, entered the building, but so dense was the smoke that soon after they were taken out, insensible from suffocation, and conveyed to the'police station. They were ultimately par- tially restored and sent home to their residences, The fire continued to burn furiously, notwithstanding the exertions of the firemen, until it extended tothe store of Jobn P. Kellogg & Co, importers, 44 Water street. ‘The contents of this store were co damaged ‘The total loas will probably amount to $60,000, covered by insurance. During the firea member of Hook and Ladder Co. No, 11, named Frederick Nodine, came very near losing bis life. It seems he was on the reof of a five story building with axe in hand, passing from one build- ing to another—the smoke was very thick at the time and Assistant Engineer Cregier had just passed over— and in the hurry Mr, Nodine did not motice the opening between the buildings, stepped off, and down he went four stories, falling on a skylight; but luckily the sky- light was covered with snow, which saved his life. He was soon exiricated from his position, with no bones broken, but he received a very severe shock. ‘When he came to the station house he said he had a full recollection of his position duriag the instant he was falling, and wondered what he was to fall upon, He retained of the axe until he found himeelf on the snow.

ARREST OF A SAILOR CHARGED WITH HOMICIDE. Yesterday morning Lieut. Snodgrass, of the Second ward police, arrested the sailor, who, it is alleged, threw overboard an unknown seaman in the harbor, some months drowning him. The prisoner was taken to the Unit ates Marshal’s office for examinati He formerly sailed in ship Yorkshire, and he is also charge! with having committed mutiny while on board this vessel. The body of the seaman that was drowned has never been recovered, although search was made for it. The manner in which it is alleged the prisoner caused the death of the gleceased was precipit sting him from a platform, hanging outeide the bulwarks of the ship, and on which the deceased was seraping the sides of the vessel. The prisoner, it is said, had quarrelled with the unfortunate man, and withont any provocation unloosed the tackle that suspedned the platform, and threw the deceased into the water, into which he in a few seconds sank to rise no more.

The horses suffered severely, and dragged their slow length along over the miry and obstructed pavement, slipping and floundering at every step. Bleighs bave totally disappeared, and the streets that were wont to be resonant with the ring of merry sleigh- bells are now still, there not being one now heard in the city.

The latte! juite uncomfortable; for, though the sidewalks were cleared of their accumulations of ice and snow, the crossings were ina deplorable condition, and were “death” on anything like clean boots or un- soiled apparel. Buta ride yesterday in any kind of a vehicle was « formidable undertaking, and not to be at- tempted without a stout heart and strong nerves. The streets being cut up into uneven ridges of hard ice with lakes of miry, muddy slush and water between, the horses kept flounering on their way, while the omnibuses jolt- ed, plunged, heaved, rolled, and did everything that was uncomfortable to their inmates. Nervous old ladies were thrown headlong into the arms of yourg gentlemen on the opposite seats, who did not look at all delighted with their involuntary armefall; while sundry old fogies went through a series of gymnastic performances, in the way of balancing on their centre of gravity, not at all amusing to themselves, whatever it might be to others. Much was done during the day to keep the gutters clear and unobstructed, A small army of laborers was employed, who, with pickaxe and shovel, were working away until a late hour in the afternoon, alearing away the obstructions. Those who have never been in Cali- fornia, and are therefore unacquainted with the appear- ance of the “diggings” in the rainy season, had an ox- cellent opportunity of seeing a miniature representation of one of them yesterday in the scene Broadway pre- sented. be By order of the Commissioners of Streets and Lamps large quantities of snow avd ice were thrown back on the tracksof many of the railroads running through the city, from which they had just been removed. This was done on account of the railroad companies not having taken away the snow and ice as they should have done. Mayor Wood’s recommendation that all the city railroads should be compelled to keep the streats through which they run cleared of all obstructions, should certainly be adopted. The habit they now have of packing the ice, snow and dirt along the edge of the track and in the gutters, cannot be too severely repro- bated; for, wherever this is done, it causes no little trou- ble both to pedestrians and to carriages, and seriously incommodes all kinds of travel. Perhaps the very worst crossing in the city is at the confluence of Chambers street, Hudson street and West Broadway, where any number of tracks concentrate. This place is one mass of almost impassable filth, and reflects anything but cr edi on the companies that leave it in such an outrageous condition. The storm of Wednesday caused no little difficulty to the trains leaving and coming into the city. The warm rain beating impetuously on the ice and snow along the roads soon flooded the tracks, and in many place: wheels of the cars were two-thirds of their depth in water. On the Hudson River Railroad track, just below Manbattanville, the water was report ed to be four feet deep. The 6 o’clock express train from Albany, which was due here at 1 o’clock yesterday morning, did not arrive until 5, an accident having oscurred to the engine. This was near Sing Sing. The Harlem trains were also de- tained, and arrived behind time. On the New Haren road an accident happened, a few miles below New Ha- ven, at a place named Whitehaven, which threatened at ove time to result most seriously. The rain storm, which wos raging violently, bes the sand from beneath the track, and left it without any support. Fortunately the train was running slowly, and the dangerous condi- tion of the road ascertained before arriving at the spot. ‘The engine was immediately backed, and measures taken to repair theftrack. The train was detained three hours, and did not arrive at the depot before 12 0’clock yeater. day. There was no stoppage on the Krie railroad, though the track was flooded in many plac The extraordinary weather we have had lately has set the philosophers speculating as to ils cause. Among the hypotheses advanced, is one to the effect that 1t is due to the presence of two spots of immense size on the sun’sturface. These spots are surrounded by a penum- bra of great distinctness and regularity of figure, being very nearly circular. To those who believe there is a connection between the state of the sun’s disc.and the ! temperature of our planet, the speculation is an inter esting one, and meritsinvestigation. Where's Merriam ? Yesterday was a dismal, dreary day throughout. It was damp, wet and sloppy. Towards evening a fine rain set it, which continued up to a late hour in the night. The air way filled with sharp watery particles which penetrated every article of clothing, and almost cut the face on touching it as with acid. itreets are covered with a thin paste of mud. A good heavy rain is now all we want to wash the strects properly, and make them what they should be in point of cleanliness, FRESHETS IN PENNSYLVANIA. [From the Bulletin, Feb. 15 Yesterday great apprehensions were felt for the result of the impending freshet on the Schuylkill. Tho im mense quantities of ice upon the river, the great depth of snow on the mountains, the mild atmosphere and the prevailing raia, conspired to render nacing than it has been for many years. Mayor Conrad yesterday consulted with Mr. Graeff, chief ongincer at ‘the Fairmouat Water Works, and visited many of the threatened points on the river, but {t was deemed im- pousible to do any thing to prevent the mischief likely to result from the coming down of the great masses of ice above Fairmount. ‘Ihe owners of factories at Manayunk, and otber poinrs along the river, were under great apprehensions, and it was even feared that serious gases would be done the works at Fairmount.

Howe, which arrived 14th from Cardenas, while lying in the river yesterday, was struck about one o’clock by a large field of ice on her bow, cutting it through, and causing her to sink immediately. The captain, firs$ and second - mates, and steward, succeeded in getting into the boat, without clothing, except their shirt and drawers—the first mate being compelied to jamp from the mainboom into the boat. Two others of the crew were seen by those in the boat on the topmasts, but there being so much ice, and the tide so strong, and being without oars, they were unable to reach the vessel. It is sup- posed they were subsequently taken off. Two others of the crew (foreigners) who were below, were lost. The boat containing the four above mentioned then made for Robbin’s Reef lighthouse, and after tearing up the seats, which t! used as paddles, succeeded in getting there in ah exhausted state, whore they were treated with the utmost hospitality by Capt. Clark, the lightkeeper and his assistant, who supplied them with clotazing, &c., and brought them to the city yesterday morning. The Rush was laden with molasses, consigned to Spofford, Tileston & Co., which will be a total loss. The vessel w to Russell & Vining.
