Dies of the latest styles for jewelry ggostantir cu baod. AU orders punctually attended to The Yesterday we paid a visit to to this time-honored apart- ment in the City Hall, andas it contains a valuable gal- Jery of portraits of some of the most distinguished men this country has produced, together with many interest- ing relies of by-gone days, a brief description will not be without interest to our readers. ‘The Governor's room is reached by the main stair case in the veatibule of the City Hall, and extends the dis- tance of the entire front between the wings. It is com- prised of three distinct apartments, the central one of which opens upon a broad portico, and furnishes m fine view of the Park and the great thoroughfares laying each side of it. ‘The furniture of these three rooms is of mas- tive mahogany, richly carved, and of the fashion of the lastcentury. Indeed, it was used by the first Common Council which organized, immediately after the Revolu- tionary war. It has, nevertheless, undergone many re- novations from time to time, and, except the multiplicity of national emblems.carved upon its pieces, would hard- Ay be recogiized nx a vestige of an almost forgotten epoch. Gne of the moxt interesting objects here is the writing table of the immortal Washington, upon which his entice corresponderice wax written during his two terms as Pre- sident of the United States, It isa plain old fashioned Plecespf workmanship, ornamented with brass han- dles aad knobs, but still so comfortable and cony nient to.write at, that the cabinetmakers of the present day might ; take pattern from it with profit and advan- tage. <4 ‘The'walls of the three rooms are covered with por- traits of the various great men who have figured either in the history of the republic or of the city. Passing into the west room, the first thing which arrests the eye of the visiter is the large allegoricai painting recently pre- sented to theCorporation by Monsieur Ftex, a French ar- tist, This picture, which is designed to represent the “Glories of the United States,’’ contains the portraits of Washington, Lafayette, Jefferson, Franklin, Red Jacket, Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Fulton, Marshall, Cooper, Mor- gan, Hamilton, Cass, Greene, Gates, Irving, West, Teum- bull, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Fillmor Monroe, Madison, Count Rochambeau, the varios Gov- ernors of the State, Senators, &c.; and among other no- tabilities of past and present days, » likeness of Mayor Wood, looking over the shoulders of Senator Seward, as if watching the course of that dangerous demagogue. Tunis was introduced by the artist before making the gift, to commamorate the time and circumstance of its presenta- tion to the city. All the figures are variously grouped, and the foreground is filled with children, occupied with the implements and emblems of agriculture, the mechanic arts, &c. The Goddess of Liberty occupies the centre of the painting, holding in one hand the national standard, and in the other a crown of laurels. The picture is en- closed by a heavy gilt frame, upon which is carved in medallions the arms of thirty-two States. In getting this number Monsieur Etex has probably had his eye on Kansas, The artist was engaged upon this puinting @ period of more than twenty years, during which most of his time was spent in collecting the ‘sea of heads” he has so successfully grouped together. The room is hardly large enough, however, to contain it, and {nits present position it is made to conceal the full length portraits of Monroe, Taylor, and Governor Troup. In point of size it is not unlike the picture of the Vicar of Wakefield. The next objects of attraction are the likenesses of Gov. Petrus Stuyvesant and Hendrick Hudson, painted more than two eenturies ago The former, it will be recollected, was the fourth Dutch Governor of the colony, and arrived here in 1647, He had previously been director of the colony of Curacoa, where, becoming involved in disputes with » Portuguese settlement on the Island of St. Martin, he laid alege to the place, and lost his leg. He wasa man of great force of charucter, and perhaps tho best suited to administer the affairs of such a remote colony as New York then was. Uniler him the city was first surveyed, and the streets regulated and named. He died in 1671, and his remains now lay in St. Mark’s churchyard. A small full length portrait of the celebrated Admiral Monekton is also in this room. It is beautifully executed, and ‘ald to be @ perfect representation of that aaval magnate, The right hand wall is covered with the likenesses of President Fillmore, Hamilton Fish, and Governor Marcy. John Young occupies the space between the doors, andin other parts of the room are the portraits of Mayors Law- rence, Woodhull, Brady, Kingsland and Micklé, Here is also a plaster cast of the celebrated bronze statue of Jefferson which was presented many years ago to Gen, Jackson, by Captain Levy, of the navy, together with a marble bust of Henry Clay, aud a bronze one of the “Great Expounder.”” Passing again into the central room, we find the fol- lowing full length portraits, viz.: Gov. Lewis, DeWitt Qinton, Washington, Lafayette, Governors Yates, Martin Van Buren, Wm. H. Seward, W. C. Bouck, Silas Wright and Daniel D, Tompkins. Above these are the Itkenesses of Mayors Duane, Varick, Livingston, Clinton, Willet, Radcliffe, Colden, Stephen Allen, Wm. Paulding, Philip Hone, Walter Bowne, Gideon Lee, Aaron Clark, Iraac L. Varian, Robert H. Morris, James Harper, Wm. F. Havemeyer, and Jacob A. Westervelt. Of inost of these there are many ancedotes now told. The most eccentric man is caid to have been old Mayor Willet, who cultivated with industrious care a wild cherry tree in his yard, which he felled many years before his death, and had manofacture? into a coffin, This he kept con stantly in his bedchamber, and eventually was buried in it, with hia hat, wig and high heeled shoes ‘The central room has been reserved exclusively for the reception of the city’s guests «ince the completion of the Hail in 1812, The number of great men who have hal- lowed it by their presence, from that time to the present, may be imagined. The east room, which connects with the central room by a double eatrance, t& similar in all respects to the west room, but has been appro. priated for the reception of the porteaits of our dis tinguished military and nayal men. It is, therefore, called the “Hero's Gallery.’ Here will be found the full length pictures of Generals Brown, McComb, Swift, Sentt, and Commodores Perry, Decatur and Bainbridge, together with half lengths of Baron Stenben, General Witiams, General Paez, President Holivar, Commodore Chauncey, D. T. Valentine, and Chancellor Kent. is also a fine painting of the great Columbus, and a hand- some lithograph of the Hungarian Generals, prevented by the celebrated Alexander Smith Kossuth. Thix, we believe, completes the catalogue of the Municipal Portrait Gallery. ‘We must not omit to mention, however, 4 glass exe on the left hand side as you enter, which contains the torn, tattered and blood-stained colors of the New York Volunteers. This alone is sufficient to attract a host of eager spectators. The only remaining matter we have to refer to now is a table containing the standard weighta and measures, To those who are in the habit of being chiselled by their butchers and grocers, we would advise a visit to the Governor’s Room, where they can be grati- fied with ocular proof of the requirements of the law. The place is kept in excellent order by Mr. James Taylor, the keeper of the City Hall, to whose gentlemanly atten- tions and courteous conduct we are indebted for the de- tails of our visit.

He would, however, wait some time longer, and if the Board could not be formed, he would adjourn, Supervisor Ety said, as there was some important busi- ness to be disposed of—the payment of the billa of the census marshala—he hoped the Chairman would wait till the last moment, in order to see if a quorum could be found, Supervisor Brown shortly after entered the Chamber. A quorum being then present, the minutes were read and approved. Some small bills were ordered to be paid. ‘THE CENSUS MARSHALS’ BILLS, The Committee on County Offices, to whom was re- ferred the bills of the census marshgls, would report and recommend the adoption of the following resolution:— Resolved, That the billa for services of the follow! named Marshals be audited and allowed for the several sums hereinafter mentioned, District.

Alderman Hrxnick moved that the report be adopted and the bills paid. Supervisor Varian asked what was the reason of the disparity between the charges t Supervisor Hskkick, chairman of the Committoe, said that some of the marshals bad performed 60 days’ work, and some only 30 days. A man who has taken the popu- lation of 2,000 has sworn that he was actually employed more time in taking the census than others where the population was three times the number. ‘The law com- relied them to pay aecoring to the days they wore em- ployed. Supervisor Exy, a member of the Committee, explained that the extra charge for one of the districts, where it is stated that there were 3,336 Germans, was occasioned by the necessity of employing an interpreter. Mr. KE. made & somewhat long speech dsfeading himself from accuna- tions that had been made outside, that he was opposed to the proper payment of the census marshals, Ho would gladly pay them $3 aday if the law allowed them. He would actin accordacce with hin oath of office, though he had stretched it much in favor of the marshals, but notwithstanding the influence of that body he would do no more, Supervisor Varian said that in all that had fallen from Supervisor ELy, his question had not ben answered as to what was the cause of the difference of the amounts in the bills. Supervisor DRAKE, who just entered the room, wished to know why it was that there appeared seven bills from the Seventeenth ward (Ely’s) reported on, whilst some of the other wards were not reported on. Supervisor Buown asked why it was that there was not one bill from the First ward reported? Supervisor Heauuck—There is not one from the First or Nineteenth wards. A LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF @TATE OF THR STATE OF NEW YORK. Suy or Take handed in a letter from E. W. Leaven- worth, Secretary of State, to several of the census mar- shalls, in which he way«:— “© 1 know of no just ground of objeation which can be made to the paynient of the fair billy of the marshals, I donot think any will be urged. You do not state the Bature of the objections nrged, which leads me to imagine them. In King’s county, T understand, that the board were resolved not to pay for services of the Ist of July; should auch an objection be made, it ix sufficient to say: first, that the ceneus act, section 6, requires each marshal, truly and accurately to enumerate the people in his dia- trict, and obtain the required statistics; second, by sec. 9 cath manshal is required when he makes his retarn to swear that it is trueand accurate, Now the law requires the returns to be made by July 1. Suppose then, the provisions cannot all be ied with, Does any one say the marshals shall stop on the 30th of June? If tney do, the following eunsequences result:—First, they violate the 6th section of the act; second, they eannot comply with, and therefore violate the 9th section; third, they defeat entirely every object. the law was intended to ae: complish; fourth, © * ® Ax the law cannot be technically complied with, why omit « complaint with tenth section which involves no such conseqaenone— which attains still every object proposed-—which involves no needless expenditure of money, and which would be in comformity to every man’s common sense. Why vio- late two sections to defeat the vbject of the law, instead of one to carry it ont. Any number of analagous cases might be cited to show that it was the daty of the mar- shals to proceed in each case till the district was com pleted, and, of course, that it ix the duty of the board to pay them, and they should be paid liberally. The duties are arduous, perplexing and responsible. compen tion per day is meagre and unworthy of the State. This, the board should, in my judgment, correct as far as pos- sible, Should they Six upon a certain number of names as a days work, they might fix that number at such « point as to do jastice to the gentlemen & din this business. And this I think they should do. Were there any other points upon which my opinion was desired, [should ex- ress. it with pleasure, as | feela warm interest In your ving justice done to you for your services in the premises. Thave the pleasure of the acquaintance of several gentie- men in the Board, and feel the strongest confidence that all the members will not only raise no technical objec: tions to your bills, but will be ready and willing to do you ample and speedy justice. FW. LEAVENWORTH. To Mesers. D. C. Henderson, ©. Missing and J. H. Burl man, Committee of the Board of Cennus Marahals.'* Supervisor Mosmn was in favor of the bill being paid. Supervisor DRane said there was great fayoritiun by the committee in their report. Sapervisor Howaxn entered the room, and having apologised tor hix absence, which was unavoidable, asked for the reading of the report again. This was complied with, and a long debate took place, but nothing was ¢li- chied worth noticing, — & litttle episode between Aldermen Howard and Kelly. After the previous ques- tion (the adoption of the report) being maved by Su pervisor Brown and carried, Sn pervisor Howard held pos- seesion of the floor, when he was called to order by Mr Kelly. Mr. Howard refused to ait down. Mr. kelly re- newed his point of order. Mr. Howard sid that if he wns to sit down it would take Mr. Kelly to put him in his sent, Mr. Kelly said he was able to do that, and would do 50. The Mayon threw oil on the troubled waters, and ap- pealed to the sense of the Supervisor of the Sixth, and thus the matter on that point ended, ‘The report was then adopted. Another report from from the Committee asked that the remaining bills be taken up separately and audited for «uch sums an the collective wistom of the Supervi- sons shull direct. Supervisor Wakeman moved to discharge the Commit- tee from further consideration of the subject Supervisor Vakian moved that the report be recom mitted to the same committee. On this motion another long debate are. Supervisor Brides moved the previous questionNthe daption of the report. ‘The Cam explained why he would vote against the question, There were 149 marshals in the city; the ‘ommittee had reported on about one half of them, and the discussion that would ariso on the remainder of the bile would occupy the Board « month. He thought that the Committee had already reported 7, there were 78 yet remaining, they were folly aequainted with the subject, and that it should be eft with them. The motion was pat for the adoption of the report, and was lost. The subject therefore remains with the committee to report on the remainder of the Census Marshals’ bills, Supervisor WakeMas moved that when this Board ad Journ, itsdjourn to meet on Monday next. Supervisor Exy eaid if the object was to farilitate the payment of the marshals’ bills, it would be entirely use as the committee, from the business eu ents of the Alderman of the Nineteenth ward, woul not be able to rey ‘The Mayor wished it to be understood that he could not meet this Board again before the first of Aeptember He thought it waa useless to put the city to the expense of $48 a day by meeting here; it wae abeurd to meet at that expense to the city tor the parpose of receiving & fow billy of the Consus Marshals.

If the committee, said hit Honor, will be ready to report, J will attend at my place in this Roard to receive communication; but why should we meet, when they tell us in advance that they will not be ready? If one Marshal should be paid, they are all en- titled to payment, and it is our duty to coerce the com- mittee to finish their report these bills; but ax long a8 we consent tomect here day after day to receive 1 fow bills at time, there will be some of the Marshals left unpaid until wiater, 1 think they should be all paid, and I am ready now to vote for them. Ido not see why, with my onerous duties in my office, 1 should vit here, gentlemen, without having had a mouthful of victuals since six o'clock this morning, to accommodate you, and I will not do it, After some further remarkn from Supervisors Wake- man and Ely, the motion was put to adjourn to the firat Monday in Feptember, which was lost. The Board then agreed to meet on Wednesday next, at 4 o'clock, .
