Dvugapne, of New York, and John Handford, of Kings county. The following is the preamble and reso- lution pasred by the Legislature, on the 6th instant, upon which the committee was appointed:— Whereas, complaints have been made as to the manner im which buildings known as tenement houses in the city of New York have been made and are now being con- structed, that they are often run up toa t height and wi hout proper regard to the strength founda- tion wala; that the several buildings are cut up into apartments which bave very little ventilation; that the balls or passsge ways through said buildings are narrow and not constructed in a proper manner toinsure the safe- of the |ivesof the enants; that these houses are mostly fiteo with the poorer class of persons, hundreds of whom are often crowced into a eing'e building, and without any means 0! egress in case of fire or any sudden alarm ex- cept throng a single passage way; re tend. that 2 camels combine at 00) members of thia House, be appointed to make an examization of the manner im which teaaat houses are constructed in the city of New York, and report the same to this regres end also if any and what legisiation is requisite and necessary to tmedy the evita and afford fuil protection to the lives nd health of the occupants of such buildings. There was a fuli attendance of the committee present on Friday. The CuaimMay, in opening, stated that they had met to enter upon the duties delegated to them, and in the dis. charge of those cuties thould be glad to gather informa- tion from apy source touching the matters into the in- vestigation of which they had been commissioned. Taney would beve a large amount of labor to perform in the way of viriting tenement houses to gather facts as to thetr construction and actual condition. In addition to this they shou'd hold stated sessions to hear the volun- tary #'a' ements 6? landlords and builders as to any eug- gestions they might have to make relative to altera‘ions of the prevent tepent houses, and best plans tor buliding new «nes. Ex-Alderman Buc appeared before the committes, apd was neariy an hour occupied in explaining the con- struc'ion of tenant bouses, which he had erected himself in the lower szd upper parts of the city, with comments upon ‘be general coustruction of other tenewent houses, and br own v.c#s as to the best material and plan to be adopted for the construc ion of tenant houres. He ebarged that the present inefficient, overcrowded and upbealtby con ition of tenant houses of the city was . tibu abie alm’st entirely to speculators, who took land on jea es apc erected frail tenements, and to secure large returpy for toeir investments allowed them to be crowced to their utmost capacity.

Fach story should contain four rooms to be occupied by cne family of four per- sens, with plazzss in the rear. Ample room and ligh’ anc air, he insisted, wouid be afforced the occupants of such viding, and at rent from $10 to $8 pir month. A five story builcing on a lot 25 by 80 should have 12 inch walls and 70 feet high, each a1 could have 12 rooms and four families on a floor. e ventilation vou.d be from the sices. In such @ tenement the rent woula vary frrm $10 to $5 per month.

Here, too, they were accom pan’ by large nnmber of gentlemen, Dr. Kane was introduced to Mr. Kirk by Mr. Vansant.

Dr. Kane responded an follows:—Sir: This unexpected honor takes me completely by surprise. It is with « painful rexse of my own unwortbinoss, and only as the Tepresentative of my comrades, that I can thank you.

A favorable settlement of the peace controversy at Paris, in all probability, will be succeeded by an impor- tant movement on the part’or France in the Mediterra- mean. For several years past the French government has had its attention drawn to that quarter, to the ac- quisition of Tangier, a poct of Morocco, at the entrance of the Mediterranean, as affording counter influences to those possessed by Great Britain in her possession of Gibraltar. During the latter part of Louis Philippe’s government, that monarch was unceasing in his exer- tions to bring about a war with the Empire of Morocco, thus affording some outward exouse for a seizure 0’ Tan- gier, and for converting the same into a French garrison. In this object he finally succeeded, at least so tar aste order a bombardment of the town, and a bloccade of the port, by a squadron under the command of the Prince ce Jomville. At about the same time, the French Algerine land foree, under Marshal Bugeaud, marched upon the Moreeco army, detested it, and took pessession of their artiliery and a large in sv baggage, tents and colors.
