IMPORTANT FROM ALBANY. The Effect of the Warlike News from Charleston. Reselutions Adopted Endorsing President Buchanan. Fhe Republicans Taking a More Conservative and Conefliatory Course, THE DEBATE IN THE ASSEMBLY. ACTION OF THE SENATE. Resolutions Presented to Call a Mational Convention. Commissioner and Senatorial The Canal ‘ Contest. THE CITY CHAMBERLAIN, Ree Ben, Ree " Atsaxy, Jan. 11, 1961. ‘The warlike news from South Carolina in this morning’s papers has caused an intense excitement here amonget ‘all lasses. The Judges of the Court of Appeals mingled ‘with the politicians at Congress Hall and joined in the ‘wpiversal expression that ‘hme for action had come. ‘Theeo who were the strougest for conciliation yesterday now expressed their opinion that the hour was passed for presenting compromises, and that firm and positive ‘action was now demanded to enforce the laws of the federal government. The forbearance of Anderson in not at once demolishing the battery on Morris Island was especially commented upon by the democratic members, all of whom expressed the opinion that they could not Ihave remained silent under the ring from Morris Island. ‘Zhe hope that civil war would yet be averted was the wish of every one; but all freely confessed that they @ould sec no way to avert it. The fact that South Carolina had fired the first gun was a matter of rejoicing by every me; and since no life was loet or blood shed by the fret nasault, it gave to the more conservative a small hope that ‘the storm would be driven off without the loss of life. One gray-baired gentleman, who has secn nearly threeseore ‘winters, entertained the boarders at Congress Hall with hie enthusiastic remarks, and declared himself ready to shoulder his musket and march against what he termed the ‘twaitors to his country. The military step and attitude were ‘seen on ali sides, and everybody seemed to be longing for ‘an opportunity to obtain military giory, Noone could look upon the countenances of those about the hotel with. ‘out being impressed that some fearful calamity was pend- fg, Such as bore heavy upon the heart of every one, and whilst they held the deepest regrets in regard to the peril of the hour, they could not but be solemnly impreesed at the dangers which beset us as @ nation. Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Lit- {ejohn took the floor and said that the communication sent over the wires this morning looked as though the patriots would be ewallowed by the insurgents, He ‘would now beg the privilege of the House to present a series of resolutions, He read them himself, and they were frequently applauded. A perfect and almost breathless silence reigned in the House whilst the resolutions were before them. Ali were anxious for an unanimous endorsement of such patriotic measures. Only two persons could be found to yote against them. Mr. Cozans said, never perhaps in this House, since the adoption of the constitution, has a member been called Bpon to yote upon so important a question as these resolu tions. He believed that the fedcral government were the ‘trustees of the property of the country, and held it in trust for the people; they bad full powor and Yt was their uty to hold and protect that property, and until the fe- deral government had been released from that trust, he bought it impolitic for this House to endorse measarcs of this kind, which, in his opinion, would tend to inflame the already over-excited tone of the South; for that rea- von he asked to be excused from voting. The House re fused to excuse him, and ue yoted no, ‘asked to be excused from voting. of Teso- Tutions fully endorsing President Buchanan—may be con- sidered a new feature in the political affairs of our coun- try, and may be taken as @ significant evidence that, however much the Northern people may disagree as to ‘the cause of our national trouble, there is but one feoling when the property of the common country is in danger from insurrection. Without expressing any opinion as 10 the policy of regolutions of that nature, their adoption is Dut an expression of the universal fecling in Albany, at ‘the present time, upon this all absorbing question, now attracting the attention of the civilized world. The resolution of presenting Mr. Anderson with a sword was then taken up for consideration—it being a tion of the Senate aud House regolutions combined. . Kernan, taking the floor, said that this was no time to diseuss party ere time for debating tho question, who is the most to blame iu bringing the dan- ger upon us; ft was no time to charge the people of this Or that section, or one or tho other politician, with the cause of all this trouble; it was no time for criminations oF recriminations. All admitted that the evil and dark hour was upon us. It should be the study of all how shall the excited feeling be allayed. He might at some other time reply to the gentleman from Ulster (Mr. Pierce) on the position that be has taken. His only desire now. was y, to do all he could to strengthen tbe Union men throngh- ‘eut the country, and to allay, and not excite the present feverish public mind. It beon tauntingly thrown eat, “Would you offer conciliation aud compromise to men with sword in hand?” but the people of South Carolina persons to deal with in this matter. Other States throughout the Union, the class of men who they had 60 patriotically endorsed dy the adoption of the resolutions this morning. Entertaining these viows he hoped that they would uot vote eo warlike an emblem as the sword, He would therefore offer as a substitute ‘the resolution passed in the lower House of Congress, and that they would be adopted. r. Fish nexi followed in a lengthy’ speech defending the principles of the republican party. He, however, took more conservative ground thin the gentle. man from Ulster; he thought that,as the matter now stands, the entire territory is open to slavery by the Jaws of the government, and in accepting the compro- mise of free territory north of 36 deg. 30 min. they would not be backing down from their principles, but Securing atriuamph. He was unwilling totake up the old controverry, but to move in this matter in a way that would strengthen aud unite the North on exe ground. It was their duty, in his opinion, as legislators, to move ty this matter in & way that it would convines the South that the republican party were not a band of brigands Dent on pillage and plunder. ‘Mr. Corning, of Wayne, next spoke, and deprecated the partisan specch made yesterday by Mr. Pierce. He thought the resolution that passed Congress was sufll sient for this occasion, and the sword was entirely out of pince. He hoped that the resolution presented by the geutieman from Oveida would be adopted. Mr. Benedict next defended bis resolution, and sald that the rengthy debate on the quostion had taken mach @1 the intiuence that the presentation of this eword would bave. «He was opposed to offer conciliation toward those who placed themselves in a warlike attitude Mr. Rubingon said that after threo or'four days’ debate he would not be considered out of place if he said a few words upon the real question before the House. When the Tesoki were first introduced it was supposed that Major Anderson acted on his own responsibility in removing his forces from one fyrt to the other, but fects have since transpir that be acted under instructions from the government, and only done what common sense and prudence would dictate, he thought that if they passed the sword resolutions oven Anderson would think they were overdoing the matter, ‘and would place themselves in an absurd light before the country. Tho resolution offered by Mr. Kernan he thought sufficient and all that was needed, and would give it bis vote, As the question had taken so wide a he would say one word about the proposition that be had made for the sottlement of the question of slavery. ‘He had pot presented any proposition that would compro- Mise this question or cause-any person to back dow from their principles; but his proposition was simply t remove the bone of eontention—not to compromise it He cared not what effect it would have upon the party ‘and any person who considered it only in that light wa ‘unworthy the trust and coniidence that the provle had conferred upon them by their election to this House. H» (Robinson) and the gentleman from Ulster were trying to Feach the same end; but one would lead to open war, ruin and devastation; the other might, but there waa hope that \t would end in peace and good will to all men. Mr. Barber, of Tioga, favored the sword. Mr. Dwight, of Tompkins, said that he was glad to sos members rising above party feeling. The resolutions ‘that had been passed here this morning had been expres- sive. He thought whatever was done should be unani- mous, and he the resolution of Mr. Kernan . Price, of Buffalo, eaid that he had not intended to anything upon the question, but to yote for the Sword. But as go much had been eaid ho coald not re- ‘main silent longer. or more States had already se- eetied as far as thoy could by passing resolutions, and he tho suht that this House should do more than pase a sing!e Tesolution, but should adopt the sword as 0 it emblem for a present toa military oficer. Mr, Kilingwood thought that whatever was done sbould be harmonious.

He resides in the same locality of Mr. Barnes, who was elected to that oftice, and may therefore be considered as having strong claims for the position in reed to locality. Mr. Geddes, of Syracuse, is much talked of, but this looks like a game to injure A. H. Hovey’s chance. Ex-Senatoi justri made any particular headway.

RAREY’S THIRD LECTURE AND EXBIBITION—THB DESPERATE RAILROAD HORSE PEACOCK AND A VERY VICIOUS ANIMAL FROM BROOKLYN SUOCUME TO THB ‘MAGIC INFLUENCE OF RAREY. Another immense audience assembled in Niblo’s Garden. ‘Thursday evening to hear Mr. Rarey, the famous horee tamer, explain for the third time, before an American popular arsembly, the principles of hie system, and to witness their practical demonstration on some vicious subjects. He firet imtroduoed the celebrated Cruiser, which he said had bad but two rehearsals in as many years. After repeating some remarks on hia mode of teaching, and exhibiting the animal, be observed that all he had shown only proved that anything which a horse has been thoroughly taught he will always remember, and that it was just as comfortable for a horse to do right as to do wrong, if he ia only set a good example. Every vice which a horse contracts be learns from man, and in different countries be will have different vices, according to the mode of breaking him in. The great object of Mr. Rarey’s sys- tem is to teach the horse on the humane principle, so ‘that he may not learn those vices, and the only success. ful plan of breaking in is that which appeals to the intel- ligence of the animal, He never knew a horse, he said, that refused to reciprocate hia kindness. To illustrate the beneficial effects of gentle treatment, he exhibited an tame horse w! he had never seen before, be cause he could explain his system better with a quiet horee than with @ vicious animal. Mr. Rarey then went through a great variety of movements with his equine subject in e} his system of teaching, the only in- strument employs being, the simale strap, which, he faid, was a sort of book by which tang the horse many important lessons. He illustrated the best manner of mounting, and how to govern the horse when the rider is placed upon the back Every hing depended upes the tspression male upoo tne 7 upon fe uj hored's mild, sad when he beens convinced Sdetven intended no’barm and had com) wer over him hen be was docile as n iin and woul pom you to evidence of by ing mal, winding up with beati adrum upon his back. He was applauded when he retired with this subject and presently returned, followed by the fa- mous horse , which came prancing into the stage in charge of two grooms. This horse enclosure to the Hudson River Railroad Company, and waa sent to Mr. Rarey by Mr. Prate, who assured him that for twe miles, and has been known, Mr. Pratt says, ‘on some occasions to kick every step of the way from the upper to the lower depot. Intense excitement was endeavort strap on Cock, who resisted with all his might and kicked in a fu. rious and fearful manner. Soon, however, it was prac- tHeally demonstrated that ‘there! nothing like leather,’ ‘or that power strap was speedily adjusted, an Peacock took lesson. in “limping, but “not with out strongly Haag oye by his head ir stray and kicking wildly. The o yy applied, and Peacock was lees. He made desperate struggles jee rem ype his libert; Cte Tebewed at rej yy, rearing up on his hind feet, and, when Mr. Rarey touched ‘him, ki most unmercifully. There were two lessons, Mr. Raroy remarked, which should be taught the horse—first, that be cannot get away from you, and second, that the touch of your hand will not de him’ any harm.’ After tiis he was allowed to mount Peaoock and take other libertics, among which was off the collar, which had not of Pea- been removed from the horee’s neck for ten years. But the animal was not entirely yet, and the straps had to be ied a ‘and @ third time before Mr. Rare; Then the animal was released, and after alittle kindness jon, the horse trembling fearfaly under the power poslti which his teacher had over him. He then made him lie down, fondled with the horse's feet, and afterwards led bim around with astraw. It wa: not to be » said, that the vioos of twelve or thirteen years could be entirely eradicated in twenty minutes or half an hour, butit was only @ question of time, and in a few days’ in- struction ho could teach him to be harmless and quiet. ‘Loud applause followed, and after the horse had retired Mr. nner was called forward to witness an additional rr ri ‘ After exhibiting the Shetland ies, he said there was ‘8 vicious horse from Brooklyn w! be would introduce by the following letter:— Brooxtyn, Ji 1861.

But it was not 80 difficult to subdue him ag Peacock, though both etruggied hard and tong. Doth etrapo wore shortly faa tened on this Brooklyn horse, which, in his efforta to throw off all restraint, was alternately up and down. ‘There was no harm, Mr. Rarey said, in a hhorwg getting on his feet a second or third time, for when he fall again, it will only convince him the more that he is in your power. Pursuing a similar course with this as with ihe former vicious subject, the straps were soon loosed and the animal rose, having on his his new tutor, who rode him round the stage as he would rid» a circus horse. The animal, now entirely under control, was sweating greatly from the tremendous exer- tion be bad made; the was put on and removed several times, till the horse was accustomed to it, and Mr. Rarey mounted ‘and recetved loud applause for this other triumph.

Meeting of the Old Dominion Society. A special meeting of the Old Dominion Society, an or- ganization composed of the sons of Virginia resident in New York city, was beld on Thursday evening, and a large number of the members attended. An address, highly patriotic and conservative in its tone, was read, and @ resolution endorsing the address, with an amend- ment to the effect that it was not proper for the society, charitable and friendly institution, to take political action, was laid over without action. One of the princi- pal orators of the evening was Dr. Alexander Jones, who | addressed the society at considerable length upon tho state of the country. Dr. Jones spoke particularly of the course of the New York Heratp, anid of tho Policy of Mr, Bennett, the proprietor of that | paper. The represented that Mr. Bon- neu and nee were upon the most intimate terms, and that he (Dr. Jones) believed that Mr. Bennett intended to do what was right by all sections, the South especially. Mr. Bonnett was in the habit of consulting Dr. Jones on all important questions of State and na- tional policy, and the inference was that when Mr. Ben- Rett took advice of Dr. Joues he was sure to be right. But Mr. Bennett, being at the head of @ very large establishment, could mot always personally supervise (be operetions of his subordinates— (cries of ‘‘Question,”’ ‘queetion”)—and he had been 80 | unfortunate as to publish some despatches from | Washington, which despatches emanated from black republican sources. ‘The correspondent who these di was a Yankee, short, thick set bo (eb ising Senat = wang a age je jor 'B Spee while " fens sapoll vd t—(renewed eries of Question) justly characterized it as an incendiary manifesto. “+ Order,” ‘ question,” and goufusion.) He (Dr. Jones) | shown these two despatches to Mr. Bennett, who ‘was very much distressed about the matter, and, a: we understood, burst into tears. The confusion at this | i moment was 60 great that it was quite impossible to follow owt the remarks of Dr. Jones., Hoe was understood to say, however, that he had hopes that in the end Ben- nett and the Heratp would come out all right. The de- bate on the address and resolutions was continued, but the meeting adjourned without taking @ vote, Brooklyn Academy of Music. MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLPERS—THE BUILDING LIGHTED UP FOR THE ¥IRST TIME. | ‘The new lyric temple recently erected in the sister c'ty | is now completed, with the exception of @ portion of the decorations and the furnishing of the several apartments. ‘Last night the building was illuminated for the first time, with the view of ascertaining whether or not there was sufficient power of gas. At the same time a meeting of the stockholders and others interested was held, for the purpose of receiving the report required by law, and electing five directors to serve five years in room of the same number, comprising ono-tifth of the whole, whose term of office bag expired. The meeting was presided over by the Hon, Henry Sloan, and the report which was presented was highly satisfactory, showing that only $11,700 was required to complete the decorations and pay for the neceseary furnitare, and that on Tues- day next the stock would be banded over to ehareholders, with the building free from debt. . The report was adopted, and before the meeting separated the deficiency was met by assessment mong the stockholders. The following directors were elected: —Edward J. lewber, Willard M. Newell, Thoo- dore Polhemus, Jr., Arthur W. Benson and John’ W. De- grauw. After the election the gentlemen present led to ‘view the auditorinm and stage, in order to witness tho effect of the lights. The scenc then down was an Halian villa, approached by an avenue of noble.elm trees. Tho dail, a8 reflected from the numerous gas jets ranged around the auditorium, was very brilliant. The glowing tints of the ceiling, walls and other parts of the building were brought out with magical effect,and the rich ara- basque ornamentation reminded one’of Irving's life-like description of the halis of the Alhambra. The gentlemen expressed their admiration at the magnificent sight, and cheer after cheer resounded through the building for the architect, Mr. Calyo, the artist, and others, to skill or enterprise the city of \Brooklyn is debted for one of its finest ornaments; but the enthusiasm reached its height when the drop ‘acene, fel display ing to view one of the most beautiful creations of artistic skill ever scen in front of an audience.

The Academy will be opened on Tuesday with a grand concert, the procecds of which, it if calculated, will meet a cousider On Thursday Ent the sum required. there will be a ball. During the meeting of the directors it was announced that Mr. y intended to exhibit his wonderful powers over the horse in the building, and that an Opera company from England was soon expected to occupy it; besides there were #everal applications for it for various purposes. The announcement was received with great applause. Court of General Sessions, Before Judge MeCunn. THE SUSPENSION OF BENTENCES TO BE ABOLISHED BY THE NEW CITY JUDGE. Jay. 11.—A large number of prisoners were disposed of in this Court since the commencement of the term, the offences being principally larceny and burglary. The nowly elected City JIndge bas entered upon the discharge of his official duties apparently with a fixed determina- tion to expedite the administration of justice in the crimi- nal court over which he presides. He has intimated his purpose not to suspend sentence upon persons charged with crime, and intends to punish burglars and pick- pockets with severity. His sentouces eo far have been mild when the circumstances of the case have warranted him in being lenient, ani it is to be hoped that he will continue to exercise good judgment in passing upon the multifarious cases that he will be called upon to dispose of during the next four years. 4 NOTORIOUS BURGLAR SENT TO THE STATE PRISON. Among the prisoners disposed of on Friday wore the fol — John Gorden, @ notorious burglar, who was con- victed in 1862 of burglary and sent wo’ the State prison, was again indicted for burglary in the first de. gree. On the night of the 17th of December ho entered the dwelling house of W. L.. Ormsby, Jr., No. 556 ¢ street, and stole $8 worth of property, which was soon after found in his poteession by the police officer who arrested him. The prosecuting officer accepted a plea of burglary in the third degree, which left the pun- ishment discretionary with the Court. Having saved tho Court the trouble of a trial, by pleading gutlty, he saved himeelf five years imprisonment in the state prison; for had he been convicted of burglary in the firet degres—of which there could be no doubt bad the trial — the City Judge would have been compelled to send him to the State prison for not jess than ten years, and he could imprison him for life. His sentence, however, was five years at hard labor in the Sing Sing prison. CONVICTION OF A WELL KNOWN PICKPOCKET. Jobn | eecraft, an old offynder, was tried and convicted of ‘larceny from the*person,’’ havingperpetrated a sacr-c legious act, in following Mary Welsh, residing at No, 138 Lewis street, to the Second street Methodist church, and, while ‘she was st her devotions, robbing her of a pecketbook coutaining eighteen dollars in money. The offence was committed on the Zlet of De- cember, and soon after Leecraft was arrested, when it ‘was ascertained that J — adorned the celebrated collection vane the * ues’ Gallery.”’ It appears that this pickpocket has be@n frequently arrested by the detectives, but for some case or other he has never been sent to the State prison. The lovers of juaticn and good order have reason to congratulate themselves that the time for punishing Mr. Leecraft for his depredations upon our citizens bas arrived Ving been convicte! of this bold larceny, the City Judge very properly imposed the highest penalty the law allowed for grand larceny, which was five years’ imprisonment in the State prison. ‘Other minor ‘cases were acted upou, after which the court adjourned till Saturday. Coroners’ Inquestst ‘Tr Brooms Sresrt Scion —The inquest tn the eve of J. F, Hiels, proprietor of the lager bier saloon, No. 420 Broome street, who was found dead, with his throat cut, on Monday evening, under circumstances which lead to the belief that he commitied suicide, was commenced on Tuesday by Coroner Jackman.
