In Committee of the Whole, Mr. Pararr in the chair, «onsidered the fellowing billa:— Providing for an enumeration of the inhabitants of the { tate. The question pending was on an amendment offered by Mr. Dickinson, providing fer the appointment of the marshals to take the censns by the Secretary of State. Mr, Harsey opposed the amendment, regarding it a miserabiesham to confer patronage upon one man, un - der the cry of saving four or five dollars to each town in the State. Mr. BRooxs moved to site ont she wos “or more,’’ giving the Secretary power to appoint ‘‘one or more’ mas. Be regarded it as giving the Secretary power to appoint one, or five or fifty, as he might determine. Mr. DIOKINSON regarded the clause necessary. Some towns were larcer than others, and it was necessary to have an additional marshal Mr. Busnor cared little about the proposed amend- ment and the bill—regarding, however, the general su- pervision of the Secretary of State better than to have so many different heads in counties and districts.

(La Mr, C. subsequently withdrew his amendment, Dill was ordered reported to the Senate. On the bill being reported to the Senate, and the question being on agreeing to the report— Mr. Brooks moved to strike out the 4th section.

Mr. Lampert—rather ungallantly, as was remarked— moved that the select committee be taken from the bachelors in the House. A resolution was offered that the use of the Assembly chamber be granted an evening to the Women’s Rights Convention, now in session in this city, in order that . Susan B. Anthony, Rev. Antoinette Brown, Klizabeth Cady Stanton, and others, may deliver addresses before the select committee, on women’s rights.

Tuomas J.

I have the ure to state, that » petition has been prepared in this city, en- dorsing your bill in all its details, and that it will re- ecive signatures of the whole trade here, employers aswell a» employed. This tion will soon for- warded to you, for presen’ yn tothe Legislature, and, I trust, will bave a favorable effect upon both houses. There is no valid reason why those who wish to avail themselves of the services of a hairdresser should not do so on a week day,or why the operators in this branch of business should be com toil while others are at church or at home with their families. That I, as well as many others in the trade, must suffer con- siderable pecuniary loss by the operation of tnis posed law, is quite certain; but we are perfectly to surrender Sun Profits for the sake of enjoy: Sundays with our families. Should the bill pass, think it will enforce itself, by which 1 mean that ha‘r- dressers will universally acquiesce in it without com- ulsion.

Reports from the Secretary and Treasurer were read. At the last annual meeting a proposition was submitted to alter the constitution so that some nent lo- cality may be provided for holding State fairs. This pro position was called up for consideration. The ‘farm: Gebated it with parliamentary decorum. One go: tleman got the floor, and spoke in opposition at some length, declaring that the executive com- mittee should not be entrusted with such power, &ec., because it had always been the practice of the'“‘order.”” Here s tamultuous shout arose, clapping of hands, stamping of feet, ejaculations, hurrahs, and al manner of yelling, which was continued for along period of time, the ‘“farmer’’ caer § all the while wofully disconcerted, with five hundred eyes upon him. He is evidently a disciple of “our Sam,” and for the instant imag.ned himself, no doubt, chastising some of the “‘bretbren”’ for violating their obligations in having voted for Seward. Gen, Burroughs was opposed to altering the constitu- tion as proposed. He stated that sesret circulars had been distributed in order to affect this very question. He had received one from Syracuse himself. Mr. Baldwin peremptorily denied that any secret cireu- lars had been sent from Syracuse, and demanded to know who sent them, and whose names were attached to them. He called upon the gentleman from Orleans (Mr. Bur- penis produce one of them, or give such other in- formation as might enabie the society to trace out the persons thus operating. ‘Then quite a rustling took place, and members and byatand ‘8 were inquiring of each other whether “Sam”? had cap been beeper | with the concerns of the State Agricuitaral Society. But ‘Sam’ remained silent, as usual, and jurrou communication’to him was undoubtedly intended as secret; he, therefore, declined to give any information as to who sent it to him, or whose name was attached to it. ‘The vote was finally taken, and the proposed ment was lost by a strong vote. So the anouel i will remain s travelling “institution,” as here- tofore. The next fair will be held at Elmira, on the Erie Rail road, to accommodate the sonthern tier of coun’ Binghamton does not Vt. I really imagined tl ing @ month and a quarter of the peopl tens of thousands of ars of the public money, the honorable digni- taries of the Legislature, after the election of Mr. Sew- ard, would have proceeded to business, But I was mis- taken, for yesterday morning several gentlemen in the House cepeecutively alluded to an article in the Banat of Tuesday. "Mr, Stebbins, Mr. Littlejohn, and others, took occasion to deny that they voted againss their plighted faith in voting for Wm. H. Seward. Among others was Mr. Rickerson, who acknowledged himself a Know Nothing, but denied that he ever gave a pledge to vote against Seward, or that he ever solicited & nomination to the Assembly by the Know Nothings, The members of the Legislature, his constituents, of Greene county, and the public generally, can best judge his statement’ by a perusal of the following letter, which is genuine :— Catro, Ost, 28, 1854. Es Dar Srr—I wish you would inform me, on receipt of this, when the next meeting of No. 15718, as 1 would like to attend it. I find, by report of delegates to No. 544, that no nomination was made for Assembly in dis- trict No. 1, because both nominees are members of the 4107910, Granting each equally entitled to adoption, e8 of conflicting claims and vi majority should decide, and the unsu should patriotically submit. We ha: now a complete State and local ticket, with one excep- tion, and I think that defect should have been sup, ied. Iwill not, however, find fault with the action of the convention, believing them actuated by considerations which seemed to them best for the 4107910. As you are aware, Iam the nominee of the whigs in this dis- trict for member ef Assembly, and of course hope to succeed in the canvass; and having become attached to the order long before my name was mentioned in con- nection with that nomination, and before I had any 1 tention of becoming # candidate, I did, after my nomina- fiom, hope I might prove acceptable to the members of the 4107910. But as the matter stands, I have no other course but to ask an adoption by the Councils in the district favorable to my election, so that our ticket may befall. * © * * Should you see Gt to inform me of the time of your next meeting, I should like to attend it, and, by consent, lay the matter before our Council in — Should, however, any considera- ions render it impracticable for me to attend, I would like to have you lay the matter before your Council, and inform me the result, Fraternal; i, He MAR L.

If so, they will be again egregiously mistaken. There are two bills now before the Senate and Assembly to which I wish to direct your atten- tion:—First, the bill in relation to hack drivers, introducea into the upper House by Mr. Wait- ney, You made some editorial remarks yesterday, in relation to this measure, which make me believe you do not exactly understand the character of the proposed bill, It is intended, not so much to interfere with the existing arrangements in the city, as to bring all drivers of public conveyances under a general law, and to check | the imposition at present practised by these men in such Places as Albany, Troy, Buffalo, &c. At these points ellers are shamefully imposed upon, and the bill is specially designed, as I am informed, to meet those cases. ‘The other matter to which I allude is @ bill introduced into the Assembly to authorize the incorporation of ice companies in Brooklyn and New York. There is some. ‘thing 6 icious about this matter. A bill to incorpo. rate the New York and Brooklyn Ice Company was some time since brought in, and certain reporters were asked asa favor not to notice its introduction. Of course the request was disregarded; information of the fact of its having been made was given to one or two mem! 4 and the bill was for a time killed.

Mr. Gates has introduced in the Assembly a bill to amend the “act to abolish distress for rent,” passed May 13, 1846, which amends the third section of said act, so as to make it road as follows:— Whenever any half year’s rent, or more, shall be in arrears from tenant to his landlord, if the landlord has apy subsintiog: right by law to re-enter for the non- perma of such rent, or would have such right but for aciause in the grant or lease limiting the right to re- enter to cases where there is not a sufficient distress, or sufficient goods and chattels on the premises to satisfy the rent, he may bring an action for the recovery of the possession of the demised premises, or any part thereof, whether demand of said rent has been made or not, ‘8 previous noti-e of such intention in writing, by the grantor or lessor, his heirs, devisees or 8, to the grantee or lessee, his heirs, executor ministrators or assigns, notwith- standing there may be a sufficiency of i@ and chat- tels on the lands granted or demised, for the sa’ tion thereof, and notwithstanding any clanse or provision in the grant er lease limiting the right to re-enter, to cases where there shall not be a sufficient dis- tress, or a sufficiency of goods and chattels on the premises to satisfy the rent. ‘he said notice may be served personally on the grantee or lessee, his heirs, executors, administrators or assigns: or by leaving a copy thereof at the dwelling-house on the bape ech a es, with some person of proper age, being or resi ing thereon; or if there be no such person then at sai: then by posting the sam: Important to Lawyers.

DESPERAGE FIGHT BETWEEN aN ALLEGED BURGLAR AND A POLICE OFFICER. Yesterday morning, about 6 o’clock, officer,Kinaer, of the reserved corps, seeing three men in company toge- ther in Broadway, under somewhat suspicious circum- stances, watched them closely, and followed them to the corner of John and Broadway, where the trio stopped for afew moments, and after being satisfied that no one was watching them, commenced, as is alleged by the officer, to break into the boot and shoe store im the basement at this place. Before they had finished their work, officer Kinner bravely rushed forward from, his hiding place, and endeavored to arrest one of the party, whereopon he was set upon by this man, who was armed with @ heavy mm , &e. A brief but sharp strug- gle ensued between officer and the alleged purglar, which resulted in the policeman being severely cut acrosa the cheek and jawbone with the j in the hands of the burgiar, which inflicted adeep gash, from which the blood flowed freely. ‘The fellow then made his escape, and run down way pura by Kinner, who, although weak from loszot blood, keptup the chase witb vigor, but was unable to overtake his man. The bur- glar run’ down Thames street into Trinity place. whero he was secured, after some ineffectual strugg) to escape, by one of the Firat ward police. ‘The priso was taken to the Third ward police station house for the remainder of the night, and yesterday forenoon was con- veyed to the Chiefs Office for examination. Here, on being examined, he stated that his name was John Wil- son, that he was eighteen years of age.and was by occu- tion a waiter, He was locked up to anawer acharge of arglary, made against him by the officer. Kianer is badly injured, and {t will be many days before he can resume bis occupation. Had the jinmey struck him an inch lower it would have severed the principal of ‘the neck, and would in all probability have resul his death. The other two men in company with Wilson escaped when the latter was sought to have been ar- rested by the officers. CHARGE OF STABBING—JUVANILE SPORTS.
