A Rajlroad Convention was held some time since in Cali- fornia, with a view of promoting the construction of a Pacific Railroad. The Convention appointed Dr. W. an agent to visit the Legislatures of the several States, and urge them to press upon the subject upon the attention of Congress. Dr. Worencraft bas visited nearly all the States whose Legi:latures are in session, and his mission has, so far, been highly successful. He is to visit the Massa- chueetts Legislature next week, and afterwards purposes going to Albany. From thence he will proceed to Washington and Jay the results of his labors betore the committee hay- ing in charge the railroad bit! recently introduced into the Senate.

After a ehort discussion by Mr. Law against the present system, and Messrs. Van- horn, Mareson and Merritt in favor, the question was laid on the table. A large number of bills were reported by the standing committees of the House this morning, amoog which were five city railroad bills, precisely as J stated in my letter that appeared in the Henatp last Saturday. In that letter Istated what roads would be reported by the committee. They have made a report of the precise bills that I then stated they would, and John A.

So far as 1 can learn, the railroad movement this year took the same direction at its initiation that jt occupied last year—tbat ie to say, a combination of republican and Stage interests, so.as to give the measure the equitable appearance of providing for the vested rights likely to be injered by the introduction of the ratiroads, and the same political power behind.

INUNDATION AND PLOOD—DAMAGE BY THM ICL. {From the Albany Evening Journal, March ¢.} Rather unexpectedly this morning, about halt-past three o'clock, the ice in the river in front of the city com menced moving, and passed down, doing but little if any damage to property on this side. On the opposite shore the floating docks of the Boston and New York railroads were so badly dumaged and destroyed as to be unfit for ure to-day. The floating dock of tbe Boston ferry boat has suffered the most, and it will take several days to ro- pair it. Soon after the ice commenced moving the water ‘began to rise rapidly, and ina short time the docks and pier were submerged. The ice dammed up this side of Van Wie’s point, causing the river to rise very rapidly during the morning, and inundating the basemen's of the houses on South Broadway, and those on the cross ots east of it lending to the river. Passengers by the late train on the Hudeon River Rail- road last evening crossed ou the plank bridge, as atan did the baggage wazone heavily laden It was the intention to allow the bridge to remain down until morning, so that the pas by this moruiog’s train might cross, but afier twel ck Inst aight tha Water rose 80 rapidly that before any demonstration could be made the ice started, carrying the briige down the river. The barrier formed at Van Wie’? point lest night geve way abont eleven o'clock thi¢ morning, when the water feli full twenty inches in alrrost as many minutes. Since that time it bas remained alont stationary, which tends tocontirm the report brought up by the paseengers froma New York by the Hudson River Railroad, that the ic: bad damned up at the Nive Mile tree. ‘The Mobawk river broke «1p this morning, avd tho ice from it will doubtices arsist in removing the obstruction below. ‘There was a report in circulation this morning that a cartman was drowned las: night, near the Boston reilroad depot, but it needs contirmation. All the ferry boats were running this morning, although the river was covered with floating ice. The railroads have suttained no damage, except the carrying away of the floating Gocks. ‘thie, however, does not interfere with the running of the forry boats, because their hich docks are now made availabie by the high water. The track of the Hadzon River Railroad has not been molested. The trains were all in Gn time to-day, and thore was no delay tn convey!og parsegers to and from the depots across the river. Com: sioners of Emigration. The Emigration Commissioners held their weckly meet- ing on Wednesday, Guilin C. Verplanck in the chair. ‘The following resolution was offterea by Commissioner Pexvy:— Resolved, That the Treasurer report to thin Board the amount of money received trom emigrants for permis- sion to land upon the soil of the State of New York, the amount psid to the several counties for expenses alleged to have been incarred by resvox of sickness, misfortane or aceiéent to any emigrant while ii trapsitor residing in avy county of thie Site within five years afer their arr:- val in said State; the amount expended to the Commis- fioncrs of Emicration since their organization for tbe pur chase of tans and the erection of buildin, the t's of which is vested in the people also to report the indebtedners, if any, of the State to the emigrant fund, or the money collected from 's and also the amount of capital in the hands of ts arriving here during saia period, as fares the same can Le aeces tained, Commi-sioner Low was of opinion that the charges Mace on emigrants for Jandipg are as jow as they can be reasonably, and considered it would be unfair to persons who have lived here alktheir tives and who own property, to allow persors to laud from other countries without tome guaranteo that they would not become burthens on the community.
