Revival of the Scheme for Laying Ont the Northern Section of the City. A Bill Funding the New York City Dent, de, deny Our Special Albany Despatch. A1pany, March 8, 1860, The performance in the State Senate last evening is without parallel in the history of the State. I doubt if there ever was & band of Senators that so completely sold their souls to a corrupt monopoly as those seventeen who voted together evory time straight for that “Senatorial combination scheme” that was before the Senate. Their movements place in the background all the corrupt swin dling schemes of your local city government. With all the rascality, bribery and corruption about the Common Coun- cil of the city of New York, there never was an instance that equalled this. The Board of Aldermen would scorn idea of wallowing so low in filth as the sevenwen Sebi have upon this question. This movement has been foreshadowed by my former communication, in which I have stated thst the rumors of the combinations of the managers of the old roads to get the contro! of the new were of the most astonishing na- ture. On Saturday last I bad certain facts about the movements of the Senator from Kings, the Senator from Chautauqua, and the Senator from Clioton, in their efforts to get up this combination of seventeen Senators, and prepared them w send down, but floally withneld them, thinking that it was impossible that a majority of the State Sensto, of the first State of the Union, would Btoop 80 low as to enter into the scheme which those three Senators were moving in, backed by the managers of the Sixth and Eighth avenue lines; but I find that trusting in the honesty of a Senator in the Albany Senate is a different thing from thor States, where I have been in the habit of watching their movements for the last fiye years, Confidence in the honesty of those wearing Senatorial rebes in the State of New York will never again influence me fo withhold facts. Some of the Senators this morning are trying to excasa their action by Stating that they only weat for this bill to kill off Weed’s movement, and that their object was to send it at once to the House and let them fight over both of them there until they killed both. Were this true there might be some excuse for their action; but the facts in the case are too apparent the other way; in fact, ho that runs may read the whole thing. Even the surface movement shows plainty to the contrary. The Senate committee yesterday morning reported eight bills Out of that eight one only was made the order for last even- ing, and that the “Live Oak Seuatorial Combination bill.” Among those bills reported was one that the masses of New York—all but the speculators—demand the age of im preference to all others, aud that is the bill intro duced by Sepator Mannierre, providing that those va- juable franchises shall be sold at auction for the benefit of the city, and not given to speculators. If thes> honorable Senators are honest in their pretensions, why under Hea- Ton bil, and pecs that through wits smmajority tot would tion bill, an a y that wou! Show tothe House that tbe would not give these valuable franchises to a band of speculators? ,' y would then bave defeated Weed’s movements completely, and have received some credit for honesty; but to all of those Senators that bring up that exeuse, 1 bave no othor rep! to make than the prayer of the Pharisee: “God, I thank Thee that I am not as other mon aro, extortionora, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.”” For the {ast four weeks it bas been the current ramor about Albany—I have heard it talked over at the different atols, in the big a8 on the corners of the ae. rui pom seem ‘to have been in the boat of the seventeen last evening Is there apy other inference to be drawn by those who bave been here the course of events ‘this winter, than that the thirteen have got their rice in this new combination, and have gone for it? t is also said that two of that number demanded that $10,000 of the sum should be paid ia advance. These rumors I give for what they are worth; they are in every- body’s mouth, and where there is so much smoke taero must be some fire. Senator Gardiner Jast evening moved to strike ont pearly a dozen of the incorporators of that bill, for the purpose of obtaining information in regard to the incorpo rators. He wanted to know who they were; and if any Senators knew the persons namod, be would withdraw his motion by their stating the fact. Only one man rose to these motions, and that was Senator Ramsey, the mouthpiece of the’ Albany and Susquehannah Railroad, who has bad a bill passed the Senate this winter, appro pristing @ snug cum forthat project. Weshall, however, ‘now to morrew whether the bargain and sale that the friends of that measure havommade with pro rata and the lagt dotge to contro! the city’ railroads will be endorsed bya rity of the members of the House. Atthe caucim@eld in Law’s room on Monday evening, when this scheme was concocted, the following Senators were present and entered into the arrangement:—Sona- tors Bicod, Fiero, Grant, Kelly, Lapham, Ramsey, Rich- mond, Rotoh, Sessions, Spinoia’ and Warner. Each one of thove Senators bas a friend in the bttt, which, it is sup- posed, is a guarantee that their special ahare will be pro- vided for. A uuraber ot outsiders were algo preseat, but as the above furnisbes the kernel to the whole thing, I will rest Content with ibe list of Senators, giving the oatsiders atsome other time, It is sufflciont at present to state that most of the outsiders have been heretotore ventilated as being oflicors under the Delavan com. mander. ‘There was no little excitement all of the final vote . Many en the report of the had been compictely aol f they Aid een and Barkely must have discovered it when m would not trustthem, and Tay! seata and ask what right these franchises, well may of New York begin to tremble Let it be understood by all pusbed by that portion of loudest cry of any here, that tne city have the benefit of all new franchises granted, and 4 will then sce the hypocrisy of the movement.

In the early part of the session the commander-in-chief of the Delavan forces with pipguiar defeat, had full sway, receiving @ triumph in the Houee commit- tee. It oply enraged the Delavan commander, who bas reorganized his forces and his whole pian of action at a caucus on Monday evening. The guns, mortars and bat- pa a Tord Thurlow’s forces havo been unquestionably seriously damaged by the pitched battle in the Senate last evening and this py The first Gre from the Delavan forces was opened on sday by tho presentation by Senator Fiero of a mammoth bill for city railroads, stiok- ing out of which was visiblo the trunk of an clepbaat. The Committee on Cities and Villuzes, to whom {t was ro- ferred, reported this with otner bills, some for three cent fare, and one for the general sale of railroad fran: chises by the city for the consideration of the Sevate, and tho nate showed at once that the Elephant bill was the one that they were after, which, a8 ig will be seen by my reports, after a number of fruiticss efforts to amend, the reading of an offer for a large sum for the franchises, it was ordered to a third reading, and made the order for this morning by a vote that astonished every one but those that were in the secret, aud completely showing that Lord Thurlow has lost his prestige tn the Souate: and that while his forces had stopped to take on supplies at the Assembly Com- mittee on Cities and Villages, and issuiog there his pro- clamation to his subordinates—which will be found in the report of that committee—the lieutenant general of the Delavan forces took advantage of this delay, and combined bis forces with the loose material and savages about the Capitol, and Jay in amburb for bim. bator Spinola commanded the ambush band, and the Maseacre was severe; 20 saddenly did the grand army find itself involved in the tolls of their aiversaries that the rear guard, which had as late as last Tuesday held a dreas parade at the Astor House, only arrivod on the ground to cover the retreat of the broken columns of the front battalions, ‘The Lieutenant General will at once force the march of his forces into the Hovge.

J. Hayes, of tbe Polar exploring expedition; Mr. ©. F. Hall and Capt. Quayle, of the new Frauklin researeh expedi tion; Capt. Buddington, of the Resolute, and a native Ezqui maux.

Hayes, Cuptain Quayle, Captain Buddington, Captain Chapel, Professor Lieber, ex-Governor Binney, of Liberia, the Rev. Henry W. Field, and Cudlouchdchdue, the native Exquimaux. Cudlouchdchdue was the principal attraction of the evening, and ladies and gentlemen crowded around to catch @ glimpse of his smiling and cheer- ful though dak.-hued face. Ho is on tho whole a rather good looking man, of the middle stature, with straight heir, as black ag jet, alight curling whiskers ox- tending below the chin. Te was a total absence of the musteche and goatee attractions on his plain Tartar. looking face, which he ocessionally very complacently stroked with hia open palm. He stauds about five foot eight inches, and was clotbed in the ordinary Ameri can costume, in which he appeared to move some. whatawkwardly. This Fequimaux was brought to Ame rica by Captain Buddington, of the Georgians, a whaling veseel which arrived here in the month of December last year, He was brought to this country by his own parti- cular request, a8 be hada strong denire to see the land and tho peg rece of Dr. Kane and bis galiant ass9- ciates. His wish has been gratitied , much to bis satisfaction. He bas epent two months in this city, and expresees him. telf immensely pleased with ail the wonders that he has seen in the metropolis. Capt. Quayle epeake fluently with him tn the language of the jwimaux, and very kindiy interpreted for all curious ladies and gentlemen last evening. Cudiouchdue says he belongs to the tribe called Apnuit, and that be bas experienced no digsomfort whatever slbee be left his own native regions of cterna! _— visit bis fair-baired brethren on this side of the globe. A very fine piece of sculpture was exhibited in the ante- room representing Pr. Kane in his undress uniform, with & telescope in bis hand, and the ample folds of bis cloak thrown over bis shoulders, while an Ka- quimsaux dog lies crouching in a watchful position at his feet. Itis mtended to be erected to the memory of tho intrepid Arctic navigator who sank 8 nobly to his reat, amid the echoing plaudits of an admiring world. A rough but woll executed map of tne Polar Ragions was suspended at the north end of the room, showing the courses of the various explorations which have been made up to the present ime, It was pot till nearly nine o'clock that Judge Dary called the meeting to order. He eaid it bad not been intended to hold a public meeting of the members of the eociety thatevenipg. The intexiion was only to receive the gentlemen whose names had already deen mentioned, and who were now present, and if any gentlemen were desirous of obtaining any information from them they would be glad to pewe d it. hi the cpinion of Mr. Hall and his friends, there are still some of the memb: of the Frank- lin expedition alive, and residing among the Esqui maux, and the intention of the next expsitiou is to solve tbat great problem in which the whole civilized worid is 80 deeply interested, Dr. 1. 1, Haves was then introduced, and was received with loud applause. He said that he did mot anticipate that he would bave to epeak at all that evening, but as he bad to do #0, nis words would be fow. He then at once very File! Proceoded to direct attention to the map of the Polar regions, tracing out the tracks of ‘various navigators, inciuding Frank- lin and Kane. intention of the mew cxpodition was merely to proceed north, and to continue the surveys of Dr. Kane to the North Pole. He expected that all would be Heed by the month of May next, and tho expedition will sail from tbe port of New York. (Applause.) They hopea to reach the coast of Greoniand in aboat ® month from the time of sailing, and would pro- ceed on way eg oni at the Danish stations to get furs and dogs, ts thelr sndenvors to pe from the ice which bend in on Dr. Kane will te tpn on the easterD coast, and be hoped to escape many of the difli- culties which Dr. Kane had to urtergo 4 waversing Smith’s Straits to the North. By thig course he (Dr. A. hoped to reach nearly to 80 degrees nortt Jatitude, and to secure a safe polar harbor by about the month of September. He then showed the various modes of ingress jnto the Polar Sea, by Spitzbergen, Grinnell land, or the American coass. He next spoke of the exoggerated opinions formed of Arctic travelling. Out of thirty six vessels which have been Eent to those seas, from time to time, only one has been wrecked and two abandoned; and as for fears of the scurvy, the English bad sufficiently proved thet it may be overcome altogether by @ propor r men. There were, therefore, none of those difli- cules which should be allowed to stand in the way of (he proposed expedition, and be trusted that it world be carried cut to its full success. He would com- menee operations in the month of March, and no effort on bis part ehould be wanting to give success to the noble undertaking. Mr C.F Ba proceeded to r then introduced to the meeting, and the jacts connected with the expadi- Ucn of Capt. McCiintock to the North Pole. He said that aithovgh thie gailant Enplish officer bad performod almost superbumen efforts for carrying out the work he so nobly uncertook, he had not shown that out of the 105 persops who formed ths Frankln expedition, there were none still living. Ho laid the blame of the failure of the Frarkhn expedition on the English admiralty. If they bad not given strict orders to T’ranklin to keep his ‘veseels togetber, and never to allow them to saparate un- der Gy circumstances, the chances are that the ships might have taken different courses, and thore would pos eibly have been one to assist the other in case of necessity. He wes firm'y of the opinion that there are now some survivors of that great expedition living among the Ex- quimaux, and he Coon {t would be a noble work on the part of America to make a final effort to set this question entirely at rest. He argued that if the re of la Perouse’e ¢xpedition could have eurvived for a number of years on the South Sea Islands, the climate of which is 80 fatal to Europeans, he did got see any good reason for eaying tbat there should not be still eome survivors of the Franklin expedition. He expreaeed his determination to doall in his r for the succese of the enterprise, which be would accompany himsetf. ‘The Cuaramay taid that, in consequence of the advanced hour of the evening, the other gentlemen woald not be called on to speak, but a general mecting cf the associa- tion wiil shortly be called, when the whole question of the coming expedition wil) be fully dizcusrod.

City Intelligence Tue Parape on Sr. Parnicn’s Day.—The approaching celebration of St. Patrick’s Day promises to surpsas the demonstrations of previous years, both in reep2ct to the military parade and the civic procession, which is always very numerous. Amonget the civic societies, or at leaet some of their leaders, there ‘appears to exist, as usual, some animosity recpecting the honorary position to be held curing the celebration. The election of Marzhal and Assistant Marshals, ata late mecting at Hibernian Hall, has, we are informed, created m slight discontent; but it is to be hoped the aitlicuity, whatever it may ba, will be getuled in time, go that nothing may occur on the day of the celebration to mar the harmony of tue proceediogs.
