Barker, the'defeated Know Nothiag candidate “for the New York Mayoralty. It tock place at the Collamore Hotel, Broadway, and its a:compani- ments were a recherché supper, good wines, and ‘some rather indifferent speeches. Ore fact came out Jast evening which will somewhat astonish the weak minds of the commanity, namely, that the Order has been in existence prior to the year 1750, for it is thas date which the inscription on the pieces of plate bears. In tha absence of Mr. Uilmsn the chair was taken by the Hon. Thos. R. Whitney, member of Congress elect from the Wil- Mamsburg district. The presentation was made by Mr. Selah Squires, ot Chenango county, and speeches were made by Mr. Barker; Judge Campbell, of the Superior Crurt; Mr. Thos. J. Lyon, of Orange coun- ty; Messrs. Dasnahover Rhodes, and James Brooks, of the Express. The latter gentleman declared that, in a given case, he was ready to vote for Frad Douglass. Th: meeting broke up at 11 o’slosk, at. ter which Mr. Barker was treated t>)a serenade at his house in Monroe street. For full report see to morro#’s Herap. A melancholy case of infatuation and self murder ig detailed in our colamns this mornisg. The vic tim is Thomas Bailey Rossum, formerly of San Fran. co, who blew out his own brains wita a pistol yesterday, In a house of bad repute in Leonard street. The steamship B'ack Warrior arrived yesterday from New Or'eans and Havana. Oar dates from Havana are to the 27th May. No event of any im- portance bad o.carred in the island from the date of our previous advices. The charter of the Spaaish Bank to be established in Havana had received the sanction of the home government, and the decree authorizing the scheme was published on the 26th. The Diario devotes an article to Know Nothingism from which we make an extract.’ The letter of our correspondent contains the current news. Additional news from Bermuda to the 27th of May has been received. Governor Murray opened the segsion of the Colonial Parliament on 22d ult. The Bermudian of the 22d ult. has the following news items:—‘ The American steamer Osprey will not, it is eaid, return to these islands and tho Wes: Indies—the company owning her having been dis- solved. The annual meeting ia behalf of Wesleyan missions, which was held yesterday, was very nomercusly attended. The report was read by the Rev. R. Dancan. Messrs A. M. McKinnew, and R. Leeder, ceaf-mutes, who hal arrived fram New York, gave an exhibition, condacted after the mode of instruction pursued in the institutions for the deaf and dumt in the United S:ates. Mr, Daniel Vaughn, a native of Rkode Isiand, but for the last 40 years a resident of Bermuda, and aged 71 yeara, died at Bermuda on 16th of May.” The ship Leopold I., Captain Gebsrding, arrived yesterday from Antwerp, haviog on board 367 passengers, the majority of whom are reported to be paupers by the American Consul at Antwerp, The vessel, by orders of the Commissioners of Emi- gration, has been stopped at Qaarantine until the proper authorities investigate the truth of the charges sgainst the passengers, which, If found true, will probably cause their immediate return to the port from whence they cane at the expease of the consignees. The Leopold I. hasa cargo of bricks op board, and is bound tor Havana. The vessels of the Hartateia Arctic ssarcaing ex- pedition are still at anchor at tre Qaarantine ground, waiting for favorable weather. Not vi hstanding the inclement weather yesterday a large number of psrsons, including many eminent physicians, attended the formal opening of the Women’s Hospital, a new institation daaigned for the treatment of diseases wholiy pecaliar to females. A full report of the ceremonies on the occasion is given in today’s paper. ‘The number of interments at Philadelphia for tho week ending noon yesterdsy, was 149. The mivimum of democratic rejoicing over a par- ty victory is one hundred guns. The maximum is yet to be ascertained. One huudred guns in Jersey City, 100 guns in Rochester, 100 guns in Schenecta éy, 100 guns in Cleveland—the air reverberates with 100 guns of triumph over the election of Wise in Virginia. Louis Bamberger, ot New York, has been appoint” ed Consul of the United States for the port of Asun- cion, in the republis of Paragua. The names of the members of the board for re- tiring naval offizers are given under the telegraph- ic head. They are familiar to the public, and give promise that the delicate duty of passing upon the qualifications of their associates will be faithfally performed. ‘The investigation of the Coroner into the ciroum- stances attending the recent homicide inthe Twen- ty first ward wasconcluied yesterday, and the jary rendered a verdict to the effect that the deceased, John Conner, came to bis death at the hands of John Wall. The accased was committed to the ‘Tcmbs to await the action of the Grand Jary. The frigate Conatitution, from the coast of Africa, arrived at Portsmouth, N. H., yesterday. Ste ha been absent from the United States three years, and will now be put out of commission, and her crew paid off and discharged. Cotten was less active yesterday, but prices were firm, with sales of atout 4,000 bags, the market losis g in favor of sellers. Common grades ot State flour were 6jc. & 12c. per barrel lower. Wheat was firm, but nominal. Indian corn was inactive, and sales limited, without material change in prisos; ‘Western mixed inclined to droop, while prime wh and yellow Scuthern were firm. Pork was easier, end the turn of the market favored purchasers. Freights were dull for Eogtish ports, as well as for most places on the Continent. A cargo of 2,300 bar- rele of pork was engaged for Toulon, probably on account of the French government, at $1 per barrel. Tre city continues remarkably healthy and free of epidemic diseazes. We learnfrom the official report of the City Inspector that there were but 2399 deatha daring the past week, viz: 77 men, 70 women, 146 beys, ani 106 girls. Of the whole number 60 were inmates of the public institations, exhibiting # very satisfactory sanstory condition, when it is considered that the various hospitais, asylame and penal establishments contain bet veen of the br acrofule ‘vuisio’ di , congestion ef the brain,'5; inflammation aia, 9; other inflammatory complaints, 15; » 5; smallpox, 2; cholera infantum, 4; con- 48 (infantil.), 29; croup, 14; debility (iofan- ’ , 4; hooping cough, 6; marasmus (infantile), and measles, 16, Toere*were 9 prematare Abs and 21 cases of stillborn reported, also 14 4eaths fiom violent causes, The following is the claesification of dizeases:—Bones, joints, &c., 3; brain and nerves, 77; generative organs, 11; heart and blood vessels, 12; lungs, throat, &c., 114; skin, &«., and ruptive fevera, 35; stillborn and prematare births, 30; stomach, bowela and other digestive organs, 81; uncertain seat and general fevers, 30; urinary organs, 2; old age, 2; unkaown, 2. The nativity table gives 290 natives of the United States, 65 of Ireland, 25 of Germacy, and 7 of England. The New American Journals on the Virgluta Election and the Philadelphia National Council—Good Advice, We transfer to our columns this morning a cbapter of editorial commentaries from the leading journals of the new American party, touching the late defeat of the Know Nothings in Virginia, and the duty and the policy of the Order at their forthcoming grand National Council at Philadelphia. These extracts em- body much good advice, the natural conse- quence of the invaluable lesson administered in the Old Dominion, and we therefore submit these admonitions to all the delegates to Phita- pbia for a careful and thoughtful reading, to- gether with a word or two of our own, The Richmond Whig with a great deal of good vense, urges the necessity of a practical programme, upon great principles, and their public preclamation to the world, consideriag the machinery of signs, grips and passwords as a matter of trifling moment. The Baffalo ddver- tiscr, following in the same line of thought, pleads the importance of good candidates, to the exclusion of worthless drones and intriguing spoilsmen, with great effect. The Albany Regis- ter, in its new position still betrays the weak- ness of an incurable party hack, and calls for the extension of its circulation as a matter of the very highest consequence. Its whole pro- gremme appears to be the ruling idea among the Albany organs from time immemorial, of making as much money out of the party as pos- sible, at all hazards, leaving them to take care of their principles after their own fashion. But the volunteer paper styling itself the American Organ, at Washington, is an exceed- ingly flimsy and silly concern. While its more active Know Nothing cotemporaries are casting about them for the means and measures by which their late terrible defeat is to be re- trieved, and from which a great national or- ganization is to be made, this bewildered and incompetent Washington Organ is cyphering up the Irish vote in Virginia, parading its limited circulation before the public, and ut- tering its foolish inuendoes against the editor of this journal.. We must tell this Organ that it is behind the times. Instead of consulting the policy of its party, “ black mail” seems to be its predominant idea. We are sorry that we can make no promises of the “black mail” of the next Congress; but if this Organ really can and does support itself, it ought to showa little more pluck and independence upon the great issues of the day, and in reference to the daties of this new party through whose support it is looking for the public plunder. We very much fear, however, that this Organ is a fishy Know Nothing concern, and will ultimately prove to be as taituless as it is puerile, insipid and ridiculous. The immediate question in hand is this na tionat American Council or convention at Pni- Jadelpbia, It must do something to repair the damages of the Praise God-Barebones Parlia- ment of Massachusetts and the disasters of the Virginia election, or the Order may ag well be disbanded. Itis proved that all this mystery and hard swearing against the Pope of Rome, Irish Catholics and adopted citizens, is all rub- bish and moonshice. A raid against the “poor divils” of Irish and the “bloody Catholics,” may be successful for Buncombe ia a towa elec- tion here and there, but is hardly worth the candle in any case. For the great Presidential campaign nothing will avail except an organi- zation and a party platform broad enough and strong enough to support the Union, the con- stitution, and the substantial practical interests of the American people in the management of the government. Before a new dynasty can be established at Washington, the existing dy- nasty must be supplanted. And what, thea, is the true plan for the consolidation of a new and overwhelming national party ? The history of our political parties and their mutations tor the last fifty-five years furnishes the answer. The administration of the elder Adams was superseded by a republican combi- nation upon a platform of hostility to his rigid anti-republican policy. The adminis- tration of the younger Adams was over. thrown jn the same way by a democratic national reunion against the weak and salient points of his policy and his Cabinet, and upon a general demand for “retrenchment and re- form.’’ Upon the same plan, the mighty com- bination and fusion of factions and parties of 1840 swept away the administration of Van Buren, in a deadly war upon his financial ex- cesses, his defaulters, peculators, and his whole catalogue of bad luck, bad management and insatiable spoilsmen. The same policy of oppo- sition carried James K. Polk and Gen. Taylor into power, and Mr. Pierce owes much of his triumph in 1852 to the negative milk and water qualities of the feeble administration of Mr. Fillmore. What an inviting field, then, is opened to the opponents of this most faithless, corrupt, imbe- cile and condemned Picrce admieletration, for national party, upon the common platform of superseding this rotten concern and all connect: d with it, with something stronger, sounder end better. The democratic jubilee the other night at Tammany Hall betrays the alarm of that party upon this vulnerable point. They perceive that they cannot carry the dead car- caes of this administration through the cam- paign of 1856; and, therefure, they proposé to cut it edrift. But it should be the fixed pur. pose of the opposition, ia a united movement, to hold the democracy responsible for Mr. Pierce, his Cabinet, his acts end his shortcomings, and to demerd upon this plea a complete revolution in the government. In this view, the cry of “retrenchment and reform” would have a defi- nite meaning; for the most besotted partizan spoileman cannot suppose there is any excuse for au existing peaee expenditure of eighty mil- lions a year. Let the National Council, then, at Philadel- NEW YORK HERALD, tion of a great natienel American party, ma pructioal way, according to the teachings ef experience and the principles of common sense, and they may achieve great and positive re- sults. They can if they will. Let them abandon this scarecrow of the Pope of Rome, this raw-head-and-bloody-bones of Jesuitism, this perilous folly of Catholic proscription, this tom-foolery of persecution against the poor Trish; this mummery and flummery of the amendment of rituals and third degrees, this clap trap and blasphemy of dark lanteras and horrid swearing of blind obedience to hungry epoilsmen, aud go to work like Americans, with @ great purpose in hand, and declare it in the light of day. Let them open their doors, and discuss the great issues of the crisis, not like base conspirators in @ cavern, but like honest men before the world, and make an open er- genization for a dashing forward movement in behalf of a new American party, a new dynas- ty, and a new administration, “fresh from the people,” upon the common battle cry of “re- trenchment and reform,” and the result must be a revolution as sweeping as that of 1840. ‘The Virginia election, the Tammany jubilee, the extracts which we give today from leading Know Nothing journals, all go to show that this new party, before it can assume a national position, has yet to build up a national charac- ter, national principles, and national purposes, commensurate with the demands of the crisis, We think we have pointed out the road to suc- cess. We submit the case to the Council at Philadelphia. If they fail to meet the necessi- ties of the time, they have only to stand aside and let the democractic party come forward and walk over the course. A Few Worps wit Mr. Taomas McEtrata. —It is wholly impossible that people can go on from day to day propagating infamous doc- trines, undermining religion, and stirring up discord between the various sections of the country, without some notice being taken of the course they pursue. Every man of us here has a tangible appreciable interest in the con- tinuance of good government, in the mainte- nance of religion, in the stability of the Union. To attack any of these is to attack each citizen individually; their injury is his injury; when they are brought into contempt, he cannot be respected; if they fall, he falls with them. H2 who attacks them, in fact, is nothing less than @ common enemy. Such an enemy is Mr. Thomas McEirath, the only resident proprietor and publisher of the Tribune newspaper; likewise, President of the Nassau Bank, and bright light of the Methodist Church North. One is wholly at a loss to perceive what pur- pore Mr. McElrath intends to serve in direct- ing the course of the Tribune in a channel so plainly detrimental to the interests of the coua- try; or how he canreconcile it to his conscience as a Methodist, as a citizen, or as a banker. The fomenting of civil discord is surely nota doctrine of the Methodist Church North. The staid and respectavle members of that church are, we are convinced, as solici- tous as the rest of us for the continued peace and proeperity of the country. They have read their Bible too faithfully to be un- aware that he who endeavors to set his neigh- bors by the ears, and light the torch of civil war in his country is as grave an offender against religion as against society. How can Mr. Thomas McElrath take his seat among there men and join them in their common devotions when the whole energies of the newspaper he controls are directed to a work which their be:ief stamps as siofal and reprehensible in the highest degree? How can he mix with his fellow citizens, when all his apparent labor is devoted to the destruction of their national peace, and the overthrow of that association on which their prosperity depends? Nine-tenths of the lead- ing men of New York are connected in some way or other with the Southwest and South. Some are themselves owners of property in these sections of the country. Others have friends and relatives who are. Others do busi- ness with Southern men. The well being of ali depends in some measure on that of the whole eguntry, including the South. How can Mr. Thomas McElrath look these men in the face, when, if the aims of his journal were accom- plished, or if it had sufficient influence to carry them even partly into practical action, the South and Southwest would be irreparably in jured, and all connected with it would suffer in proportion? Butif so singular a course as that of the leading proprietor of the Zridune is singular in a citizen and a Christian, it is a far move puzzling riddle ina banker. Of all the insti- tutions of civilized society, banks are the most sensitive to political disasters or narrow legis- lation. If any legislative measure injures a country it is the banks who feel it first. For their welfare is founded on the public credit, confidence, and general good will among the people. Yet here is a banker, the president of a bank, who devotes the whole force of the newspaper he owns to the enactment of a law which is calculated to ruin one of the most im- portant branches of trade in the State, and to effect a depreciation of from ten to fifteen per cent on all city property. The same man de- votes the same power to severing the bond ot fraternal union between the North and the Souths to the consummation of a political re- volution which would inevitably annihilate the trade and business of New York. Do the share- holders of the Nassau Bank ever reflect on these things? Do they never think that the very power they entrust to Mr. Thomas Me- Elrath tor their common benefit may be actual- Jy employed in endeavouring to promote mea- sures which are sure to invoke their injury and the ruin of the bank ? Tolerance is good; it is excellent; Mr. Mc- Elrath has a right to his opinions. But when aman frankly tells us it is his convictioa that we ought to be ruined instead of prosperous, fighting instead of working, the least we can do is not to help him to carry such evavictions into, effect. All the New York hotels, the Astor House, Metropolitan, &, &¢., have been great friends of McElrath and his corps of de. structives, giving them champagne and oysters in any abundance. How do the hotels like the socialists now? Examivation at West Potnt.—The examina- tion at West Point has begun, and we may expect to hear shortly of the performance of the youths who are to be the hope of the United States in case of war. There will be, no doubt, the usual camping out, marching, target prac- tice with heavy artillery, and so forth; and the neighbourhood of West Point will doubtless be thronged with visiters for the next fortnight five and six tLousant perssme, acted witualiare » phla proved ia be bulacss of the orguiza } of su. The aight will be well worth seeing. SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 1855. Law rok THE Liquor Mey.—Hitherto the temperance fanatics have boasted that they have had all the law on their side; but itseems that the liquor dealers’ turn has come. Io Friday’s Tribune appears an appeal trom the Carson League to the people of the city and county of New York, to raise “not only $40,000, but s larger sum,” for the purpose of prosecut- ing those whom the managers of the League may choose to consider offenders against the Probibitory statute. The appeal alleges that the liquor dealers have raised $40,000; and bases on this statement its demand for a larger sum, in order to employ counsel and bring all the machinery of the law to bear to prosecute, Considering the motley ingredients of which the population of this city is composed, this appeal might be formidable. Forty thousand dollars and “a stili larger sum” can achieve mucb. Few men would care to have the blood: hounds of the Carson League on their heels, with forty thousand dollars to back them. Indeed, almost all of us, in our private experience, have been witnesses to the persecution and ruin of some unfortunate wight who had the ill luck to involve himself in a lawsuit with an adver- sary whose means—though less, perhaps, than forty thousand dollars—were quite sufficient to enable him to crush a poor man. Forty thou- sand dollars judiciously invested in lawyers’ fees and spies’ fees, could inflict intolerable inconvenience upon, if they did not procure the ruin, of any man of moderate fortune in the city. We say, therefore, that the appeal of the Carson League, addressed to a community containing many men with more money than brains, as well as many hardened fanatics, might have been formidable. Happily for the city, the common law has wisely provided for such cases, All the com- mentators, from Blackstone downward, concur in affirming the principle of law, that he who excites a malicious prosecution against his neighbor is guilty of the misdemeanor called barratry, and must be punished accordingly by fine and imprisonment. We find that the offence was epecially noticed, and a penalty provided therefor, in consequence of the trouble ex- perienced from the knavish wiles of certain English attorneys, who set their neighbors by the ears in order to get fees tor conducting the suits, These attorneys appear to have been the lineal progenitors of the Carson League. They strove to get up prosecutions against their neighbors for breaches of this or that law, just as the Car- son League does for imagined breaches of the Prohibitory act. But we do not hear that the attorneys of Westminster ever appealed to their fellow countrymen for “$40,000 or a larger sum’ for the purpose of fomenting litigation. This difference, however, is not material, and if any thing, aggravates the offence of the New York lawbreakers. We therefore expect that the liquor dealers will lose no time in meting out to others the measure that will be meted out to them: that they will instantly take steps for the institation of criminal proceedings against Thomas L. Carson, S. A. Beers, H. Roys, J. C. Burdick and as many other mem- bers of the League as can be discovered, on a charge of barratry. There can be no question of the result ; and it canno’ but be beneficial to teach these gentlemen that the law, which they desire to use as an instrument of tyranny, is a two-edged weapon which can be turned against themselves. A Fusyy Boox —Foster—Gaslight ‘Foster as he has been called—has been beguiling the hours in one of the prisons in Philadelphia by writing a very curious book, which he calls “New York Naked.” He waiks into the edi- tors in great style, stripping off their disguises, shaving off their whiskers, cutting off their moustaches, pulling off their coats, and show- ing them precisely as they appear tobe. Itisa regular cut and thrust concern. Nor Rieut.—The Ruffalo Courier says that the New York Heratp is deserting the Kaow Nothings. This is a mistake. We never be- longed to the Know Nothings. We have taken the Know Nothings in‘o our training school for afew months, to teach them their paces. But if they do not show a little more docility and attention to our instructions we shall turn them out, let them shift for themselves. We will have nothing to do with any political animals who are not sensible, docile, useful, practical and full of grit. Garrison a Propner.--Old Garrison, of Boston, the great chief of nigger worship and nigger worshippers, says that Kansas will never be afree State; and he gives four sub- stantial reasons why it it will, as long as this Union lasts, be inevitably a slave State. The great nigger worshipper is right in his predic- tion; and the smailer nigger worshippers all over the country may rant and rave as much as they please, but they cannot change tne destiny of Kansas, A Hint For Barnum.—The Louisville Demo- crat thinks that Barnum belongs to the Know Nothings. We do not know how that may be, but we rather think that the democracy will before long belong to Barnum. Barnum is fa- mous for picking up all broken down animals, strange curiosities, old vertebra, or anything that has seen its best days. We sometimes think, therefore, that Barnum will exhibit the democracy in his Museum one of these days, before the inauguration of 1857, when George Law is called to the White House. Tue Crists Has Come.—Thus sayeth a Seward paper in Buffalo, the Express. We rather think the erisis has come for Seward and his clique, for beween the democrats and the Kaow Nothings in the last election of this State, they will be ground into powder and scattered to the four winds of heaven. Marine Affairs. Lavxcu.—Messrs. Crowell & Colon launched, from their yard at Elizabethport, N. J., on Saturday, at 11 o’clock A. M , « three masted schooner, of superior baild and model, of 450 tons burthen, owned by Captain Wm- Cathcart, who is to command her, andothers, She is de. signed for the general freighting business. A VapE Mors vor Sartons.—Mr. F, Frady, of 12 Amn street, has published, in small book form, the ‘Maritime Flogs of all Nations,” The flags, pilot signals, &., are handsomely colored, and under each is printed a geo- graphical sketch of the countries and places to which they belong. It is avery useful book for sailors, ina convenient size, end contains much interesting infor. mation. Sure Borepixe 1s Maryn —There are ten large ships now being built at Belfast.

La Grange has $2,500 yer month—more eulary than is given to the President of the United States, and four times as much as that of a Cabinet Minister.) During the next week ‘‘Ernani’’ was given twice and the “Barber of Seville’? once, The ‘Ernani’? audi- ences were rather thin, bui the “Barber” on Friday last drew a better house, although not # fall one. On Monday evening we are to have the “ Puritani” of Bel- Uni, the gracaful melodies of which have always mate it a favorite with the majority of American opera- goers, Mirate is the Arturo, La Grange the Elvira. On dit, that this company will soon commence # concert tour, visiting Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other cities. While the La Grange troupe has been delighting the connoisseurs at the Academy, Steffenone, Vestvali, Brignoli, Badiali, Bolcioni and others, under the ¢ires- tion of Messrs. Phalen and Coit, with the Chevalier Wikoff as commander in-chief, have been giving the “Trovatore,’’ ‘ William Tell,”’ “‘ Lucrezia Borgia’? and ‘Maria di Rohan,”’ to full houses at the Boston theatre. This troupe had a prosperous season of nine weeks at the Academy, to which establishment the artists will return after the expiration of their Boston season, which closes with this week, We have thus seen @ continuous season of nearly three months at the Academy, made successful by effi. cient management and the production of new operas. With more novelties the season may be continued far into midsummer, : The Exauish Opera Trovre at Niblo’s intend to give six different operas during this week, beginning with “Fra Diavolo”’ to-morrow evening.

Clark, were arrested on Katurday by officer Sweeny, of the Lower Police Court, charged with having conspired together to defraud James Neilson, of 224 Esat Four teenth street, out of $200. The complainant states that on the Slat ult, he advertised his stock of groceries and fixtures for sale, and in answer to the advertisement re. ceived a letter of negotiation from the accused; that af- ter having an interview complainant agreed to let them have the property for $2u0, for which he got a note filled up in the following novel manner:— ecccccccccceccoceccssocecoscece $200, Naw Yorx, May 31, 1856.

THE BLOCKADE STILL CONTINUED—A DABK IMPUM- ‘TION D&NIED. The blockade of the steamship United States by the government vessels is still kept up, nor is there appa- rently any abatement of the vigilance of the besieging force. The revenue cutter has crept nearer the steam~- ship, and her battery of guns, shotted to the muzzle, bristle angrily under her stern, while all on deck gives evidence of the utmost watchfulness, Below, the little Vixen looks spiteful as ever, and chafes her oable as if impatient of the delay; while above the steamer the propeller frowns down grimly, and shows a row of ugly teeth, that seem to be as capable of biting as of bark- ing, should the eccasion offer. Meanwhile the besieged force (now reduced toa man and a boy) betray a most: profound indifference to the presence of the besiegers, 8 time in washin; 18 ree eset nore tempt to cut off their retreat to the mainland, and their therafore safe while the supply of grog and rations is grocery stores continue open, ‘There 1s » rumor afloat that the bloc! force have: run short in their whiskey rations, which no doabt necessitate their removal to the Navy Yard soon, as a tupply of Dutch courage is indispensable to the proper riormance of their arduous duties. nite have received the followisg, which speaks for iteelt :— TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

City Intelligence. Tue Census Marswais.—A meeting of the Consug Marshals was held last night at the Broadway House, Mr. C. F. Oakley in the chair, and D, C, Henderson act- ing as secretary. The subject of the small compensa- tion they are to receive (two dollars per day) was again the cause of complaint. It appears they have petitioned the Common Council, apd they have reason to believe their request will be favorably considered, as many of ‘the Alcermen agree with them that the pay is insuffi- cient. A letter was received from the Secretary of State, in reply to a communication of the Chairman, stating that the law would not permit an extension of time specified—twenty-five dsys. A motion was made to take advantage of the obscurity of the third question in their instructions, and not assess other reas estate than dwelling houses; but this, after some discussion, was voted down, with the understanding that all the marshals would puraue such course as they deemed most expedient individually, They adjourned at a late hour, without naming a time or plece of meeting.
