Js LUDUAM, Governors, sent 8 communication to toe Assembly through the Honorable Mr. Reid, complaining of tne vesti- mony of Simeon Draper before the committe: on the New York tax bill. Draper stated that in 1849 Eels roported 2,745 inmates of the Almshouse, but the Governors, upon an examir ation at a thors period thereafter found only 929. wr, E. cenies ever having made the statement attriou ed tohim. Re wants # committee instituted. botore whom be pledges to prove that the report of the Governers for Ube first year, pur cute to be the cost for the support of the poor, exc: $75,060 of the true amount; tust tbe amount for 1855 does not show the cost to the city by $35,000; alao, he alleges he can show that tbe Board often Governors are in default to the Commissioners ot the Sinking Fund over $100,000. Ais communication further alludes to certain private affairs of Mr. Draper, wich are not relevant to the tax bill, and very im- proper for legislative interterence. Mr. Hels’ paper was quietly disposed of. The Liquor License bill was reported complote to the House, this morning. It contains » number of amend- menta ot an immaterial character. The fanatics egun ¢.ramenced operation, by every manonyre in their p>w- +r, They wished to re-commi; for fu:ther amendment, to have the bill seprinted, to reconsider, to postpone, &, Mr Foot’s mo ion to recommit, was lost, The Hoaor- able Mr. Bay, of New York, vored through and through, \d a0 did Mr. Duganne, with the Maine law fanatics— the latter gentieman also asserted bia right to spesk on the question, contrary to the decision of the chair, and persisted to such an extent that the Speaker was compelled to order the gentleman to be rested. Mr. Foot made acothe: attempt to recommit, by insert- ing the Senate biil, belng the bill introduced by Senator Brad‘cr4, st:iking out tue odjectionad e feetures of the Probibitry law.

GLOVES, Mr. Glover offered a resolution, asking for a committee to stcertain whether a republican memoer of the House proposed to have all opposition cease to the license bill, provided the sum of twenty thousesd dollars were ad- vanced.

The officer thus appointed is to serve until tre Ist of Jenuery next.

The Patk Bank commenced operations yesterday, in the buiidiog formerly kuown as the Ciinton Hotel, at the head of Beckman street, opposite the Park. Tho first day’s business was very large, over $1,100,000 of t @ bank stock having been paid in, and $610,000 taken on Geposite: a Jarger sum, the ¢irectors claim, than was ever before deposited in a banking institution in one day to this country. The total capital of this bank is $2,000,- 000, with the privilege te insrease to $12,000,000. The directors bought the building and ground mow occupied by their bank for $150,000, the area of ground it covers being fifty feet on Beekman street, and one hun- dred and five fect om Theatre alley. The buiding has been cow pletely aliered a to fit the ground floor for a Taantee Sevarteeat on the upper stories ‘or offices, the cost of wnich was $8,000, by contract. There 1s already $8,000 of « yearly renlal secured to the bank, above the expense of their room hire. Tho altera- tions were made unter the supervision of Mr, a the well known erchitect, ani were of course well tastefully done. For the benefit of cored = guntry, it be well state that the safe in whicn the treasure ia kept vy eleven tons, and the lock on it is so periest, that the constructor ia wilifog to put a $1,500 check inside; and if aay one can open it witn the key, they are welsowe te the check and a thourand collars borides.
