A resolution was aleo passed to refer to a special com- mittee of four the question of the legality of issuing county revenue bonds to the amount of $250,000, for the purpose of providing for the wants of the families of the volunteers who have enlisted in the service of the g?- ‘vernment to defend the flag of our country.

TEMPORARY BARRACKS IN THE PARK. ‘The rapid enrolment of volunteers in the city, the con- tinually increasing strength of our eifective volunteer regiments, and the influx of military bodies from otter States, have very nearly taken up all the room that can ‘be found from time to time. So far as mere lodgings are concerned there is no want of buildings offering for the purpose. But cooking arrangements have been hitherto sadly out of joint, from the want of a regular bar- rack for the soldiery, where their meals can be served up hot and comfortable. With commendable care for health and happiness of our citizen soldiery, and cer- tainly with much credit to the commissariat department there are steps now bing | taken to erect spacious tem- porary barracks in the City Hall Park, where culinary ‘operations will be performed accundem artem, and space be afforded for the feeding of upwards of two thousand men. ee ae eens ee and are beivg run up with the speed of Aladdin’s e.

A portion of the roof and all the flooring are already far advaneed, and carpenters are being kept at work night and day to burry up things. The Quartermaster General communicated with Mr. Comptroller Haws, on Monday last, requesting permission for State to erect this building for the convenience of the military. The necessary consent was immediately given, whereupon Mr. Haws caused sufficient ground to be measured off, and the building was at once com- menced. he following letter of authority was addressed to Mr. Corlies:— “ QuaRTRRMASTER'S DarARTMENr, ‘New Yor«, April 22, 1861. “ Joun B.

They will now know all about it. ARMS FOR WILMINGTON, DELAWARE. There was quile an excitement about the office of Adams’ Exprees Company yesterday afternoon, in conse quence of the delivery of twenty cases of rites at thetr door directed to the Mayor of Wilmington, Del. Mr. Hoey, the Snperintendent, refused to receive them on any account, unless an order to take them out of the city ac companied them from the District Attorney or Superin- tendent of Police.

JAS. BOWEN, President of Board of Police. SEIZURES OF MORE ARMS. The police of the city were actively engaged yeaterday in ferreting out and seizing several lots of firearms des. tined for Southern ports, Several such seizares were made in the course of the day. The last lot discovered was found in charge of Daniel Fish, at 66 Fulton street. It consisted of 150 rifles, together with a few double bar. reled shot guns, and two long and heavy Mississippi ri- fles. ‘The rifles are of excellent workmanship, with per cussion locks, On most of them no name can be disco vered. On the locks of others, the name of L. Hoffman is stamped. They were packed in cases, all ready for ship. ment. Bills of lading, and other papers, were found with them. The bills describe them as ‘‘cases of merchan diee,’”’ and they are consigned to Lovell & Latimore, Sa- vannah, and fto sundry parties in New Orleans, Also some to L. Hoffman, Vicksburg. The seizure was made by officers Farley and Eustace, of the Metropolitan po lice, atsisted by the Captain of the Second ward, THE SEIZORE OF UNIFORMS.

OVER A THOUSAND MEN, AND A REAVY BATTERY BMBARKED ON THR ALABAMA AND JAMES ADGRR— PRESENTATION OF A BRAUTIFUL FLAG, &0. ‘The Fighth regiment, (Washington Greys), New York State Militia, over one thousand strong, and with six six poondors, sailed Jast evening with sealed ordera, t join probably, the forces at Washing!on. The marching or- dors were recoived vory unexpectedly on Saturday after. noon, and the men responded to them with the greatest alacrity. Regiments were rapidly mustered and drilled, new officers to supply vacancies, were olected, and now arme and equipments were amply provided, so that the Fighth started yesterday, one of the most efficient regi ments inthe service, and ready for almos' immediate action. THE MEN ASSEMBLED At the armory, over Centre street market, as early as six o'clock yesterday morning, and the ranks rapidly fliled Up until nine o'clock, the hour appointed for the start, The arrangements at the armory were admirable, Po- HERALD licemen were stationed at the docrs and none but mem- bers of the regiment were admitted at first. By this means the men were enabled to equip themecives undis- turbed by the crowds of friends and outsiders which have embarrassed almost every other regiment, and to which we shall have occasion to allude frequently in this article, The men went quietly to work, therefore, and were got ready with @ facility amd comfort al- most upparalieled. We have to notice in thie regiment the same instances of seif-devotion and modest heroism now happily becoming #0 common among our people. Tbe members are mostly mechanics, hardwork- ing, industrious fellows, with no money to spare and with families to provide for. They did the best they could, however, and started. Men left their families» husbands their wives, not in that reapest, but without hesitation aud doubt. Colonel Lyons himself left sick members of his household. One of the Lieutenants obeyed the orders of a dying father, and parted from Bim probably never to meet on earth. Those angels who record the good, brave, generous, patriotic acts of men have need to be shorthand writers, now-adoys. Hardly @ man joined the ranks of the Eighth regiment yesterday who pad not sanctified his cause by some great self-sac- riflce. The number of recruits offered was so large that the officers were enabled to pick their men, and those taken were fine able bodied fellows, some of them mov- ing in the first rapks of society, and all worthy of the ex- cellent corps to which thay are attached. Most of the re- cruits were in uniform and @)l were well armed and pro- vided with straps, blankets, plates, cups, &c., under the direction of the Quartermasters, whom members of Gen. Hall’s staff asaisted. No man left with the regiment who was not well provided for and ready for efficient service, THE SCENES AT THE ARMORY Were, on account of the exclusion of the crowd, vastly more business and war-like than sentimental aud a‘fect- ing. The men smoked, chatted, enjoyed themselves, or occupied the time with receiving their supplies and fitting out their comrades, Most of them were armed with re- volvers and bowie-knives, but there were no superfluities carried, at least outside the knapsacks, unless a smalt flask of brandy and a pipe can be reckoned as such, The uniformed men were dressed in caps, grey pants and jackets, trimmed with black, and with heavy blue overcoats; the officers in dark blue caps, suits and overccats, with gold trimmings. They all went to work like regulars, and at no armory was there less confusion and bettcr order. Our mon are evi- dently becoming accustomed to this sort of work, and take the thing as a matter of course. They said that they didn’t care where they were going, and had go, over wauting to go to Washington; they went to obey orders and expected to fight, so they had made up their minds to it. When asked when their pay began they replied, “Pay? Pay? 0, yes; certainly. I really don’t know. Perhaps the Captain can tell you about it”—know- ing nothing and caring less about it. It was not for that they enlieted. Testaments were at the company’s roome for distribution, but were scarcely disturbed, as the men’s wives, sisters and mothers had taken that care upon themselves, and had furnished them with Bibles beforehand. After nine o'clock the companies were mustered, armel and marched off to drill in the open air, as soon aa possible’ and thousands of people witnessed these strect drills They were all armed with new muskets and bayont from the Springtield Arsenal, which were received yes terday, and unpacked in the arsena) durigg the prepara tions, Quartermaster (Alderman) Corneil attended to this matter, and did it admirably. Under his direction also, boxes of powder, valises, bundies, and the officers luggage were sent down to the transport by ex. press; and by a system of checks, like those at the railroads, he was able to obviate all difficulties and get rid of the troubles usually attendant upon the transpertation of military baggage. After most of the companies had departed, the ladies and friends of the yolunteere were permitted to enter, moet nnwiseiy, and then the men were hustled about, “Mid scenes of confusion,’” which might bave beea very appropriate at home, sweet home, but which were very much out of piace at an ormedy. The policemen who admitted the friends and followers should be blamed, but thef riendsjand followers should take a little thought to themselves. These ever- lasting good byes do those who stay at home no good, but weary, dispirit, perplex and confuse those who go. With all due allowances for the painful circumstances of many of the cases, we still think that the celf deniel of the soldier should b assisted by the self-deniai of his friends. Our city now is a camp, and we must all begin to act as if we realize it, Bid the boys good bye as often as you please while they are civilians, but after they enter the army, unde orders, leave them to themselves, treat them as soldiers n't annoy or worry them or yourselves, and both you and they will be happier, calmer and in Wgijer trim afte the last long look is over and the ship stas@@d. THE RENDEZVOUS. By eleven o'clock the companies had ail started for the rendezyous, on Seventeenth street, Union square. The troops, acting as artillery, under command of Capt. Var rian, an old, expertenced and able officer, etarted first, in order to procure their cannon from the upper Arsenal, corner of Seventh avenue and Thirty-fifth street. Until yesterdry morning the artillery corps expected to take eight howitzers, like those of the Seventh regiment, which could be dragged and managed by hand. At toree A. M., orders came that the government wished a heavy battery, and that six 6 poynaers must be taken. Colone) Lyons acted upon his order immediately, end a committee was appointed to purchase the horsee—four to each gun—and the harness neceteary. Stalls for the horses were also fitted vp on the James Adger steamer, and the troop was or dered to go, with the guna, by the exme boat. The ex empt members of the regiment held a meeting at Lafa yette Hail, and determined to escort their comrades tc ibe veat, and the Armory thus being cleared, the crowo adjourned to Broadway and the square, Along the shady side of Broadway crow re Cpe the way be tween Bleecker and Fourth streets was blocked up by a mass of people; fire engines were being stationed along the route, to ring their bells as the procession passed more flags than ever were displayed, and bodies of men were marching through the side streets to join the throngs on the great thoroughfare, AT UNION BQUARE The stands erected for the Union meeting were crowded w.th people, the. park was filled, and the streets were lined all the way round the enclosure. There were not ag many people present, however, as has been usual here in New York, partly because the Sixty-ninth attracted the greater part of the sight-seeing people, and partly be canse the New Yorkers, with their usual adaptiven ss have become accustomed to these warlike displeys, ans take them quite as a matter of course, The engincers were first upon the nd, and Sergeant Trumbull was quietly presented with a revolver by the Masonic Arctums Lodge, of which he was a member, and whish has sent away almost all its active masons in the various regiments. The G. L. Fox Guard, also marched up to es- cort the favorite Bowery actor and member of the Fighth, whose name they bear, and whom some of them dis- graced during the day, by getting very much intoxicated, very disorderly and very anxious for a fight, One by one the companies arrived, and took up positions upon the shady eides of the surrounding streets. Crowds of band. sheking friends, and kissing, crying women, thronged around, The men stretched out upon the stones, lay singing, cheering and conversing. en the Adjutant ar rived, and after a little delay, obtained the report from the Orderly Sergeant of THE OFFICERS AND MEN. ‘The officers are as follows:—Col.

A PRESENTATION OF COLORS to the regiment by Dr. Barrow, on behalf of mesdames Mrs. Chee. ©. Crawford, Mrg, Chas, Chandier and Mre. Chas. A. Seacor. The colors consisted of a beautifu flag, worked in the finest silk. Upon one side were the Stars snd Stripes, and upon the other, on a ground of white silk, the American eagle, exquisitly worked in feathers, and with the motto, F Pluribus Unum. Dr. Barrow stated thet the flag had been made by Mrs. Seacor thirty-tMPee years and had been very highly valued by the family. @ ladies sent it. however, with the regiment with which Mrs. Seacor’s son went, and knew that it would never be disgraced. Colonel I_yons briefly replied, sy- ing that he received the flag on behalf of the regiment with th2 greatest emotion. He hid been with bis men for years and knew them well.

THE SIXTY-NINTH REGIMENT. IMMENSE TURN OUT OF OUR IRISH CITIZENS. Yesterday was a great day for our Irish citizens. The Sixty-ninth regiment, composed almost exclusively of the sons of Erin, departed on their mission South with great eclat, setting the entire population in the lower wards in a state of excitement almost bordering on madness. From ap early hour in the morning, crowds of men, women and children continued to pour into Broadway from the First, Foarth, Sixth, Fourteenth, and other warée, until the thoroughfare was 80 blocked up that the omnibuses, carriages, carts, and all manner of vehicles were obliged to abandon it to the multitade on foot. The women alone who turned out in honor of the occasion were sufficient in numbers to occupy both sidewalks from Great Jones street to the Battery, 0 gen eral was the turn out. Brooklyn, Jersey City, Williams. burg and all along the line of the Harlem Railroad, was fully represented, and even from as far off as Hartford, Connecticut, Hibernia’s sons and daughters were seized with the war feeling, and came on to witness the de parture of the sturdy Sixty ninth. At nine o'clock the members of the regiment marched from their armory in Prince street to Great Jones street, which was the appointed place of starting. The troops locked well and were in excellent spirits. They were re- ceived in the most enthusiastic manner by the crowd, and seemed much affected at the warm reception given them by the by-standers. The work of forming in line and drumming up the straggling re- cruite and supplying them with arms ozcupied several hours, but the people bore with the delay patiently, and watched every movement with an unusual degree of interest. The weather was extreme ly oppressive, and the effect of the beat upon the unpro tected soldiery, was 28 perceptible as though it was the Fourth of July. The brave fellows bore up nobly, how ever, and oply seemed too happy at the prospect of their speedy departure for the scene of the war, While form ing into line, many affecting scenes occurred between the soldiery and the friends and relatives they were leaving behind them. Women and children cried aloud, and even men weptat parting with those they loved eo dearly. Parents took loave of their sons, with feclings of the most poignant grief, while sisters clung to their brothers with tender affection, and refused to leave the ranks until the very last moment. At last all being in readiness, the order to ‘fall in,” was given and the regiment prepared to s\art. Toe friends of the Bixty-ninth were determined that the af. fair should pass off with as much cclat as poesiole, and accordingly arrangements were made by a number of fire companies and civic societies to act as an escort on the occasion. Ata quarter past three o'clock the signal for starting was given, and the procession moved down Breadway in the following order: — ORDER OF PROCESSION.

Arriving at the Astor House the regiment halted for a few moments, to listen to the remayks of a patriot on the stepe. Evgine companies Nos. 14 and 38 joined in the demonstration, and in testimony of their esteem they had their apparatus on the sidewalk. Over the entrance to the hotel was an inscription, in large letters, which read as follows:— Deere ne eeeene ne eee ne ne tOLe serene nese wesEre were rere ‘THE EYKS OF THOSE AT HOME WILL BK UPON YOU, ANDY TUR PRAYERS OF THOSE YOU LEAVE KEWIND GO WITH YOU, Qaeeneeseee seen ee NTO ONIE LEIP LE TELELEIOLELE EE On resuming the march the ed gown Broadway to Cortlandt street, where they were most heartily received by the mer. chants and clerks in the neighvorhood. All along ‘Weat street the enthusiasm of the people was the same, aud as the regiment passed on board the James Adger, at pier No. 4, the scene of excitement and confusion peg- description, Some delay was experienced in em- ‘king the mon in consequence of the jam, but by half- past five o'clock the troops were fairly stowed away, aud pre tions were made fr starting. lone] Corcoran was presented with a large bunch of shamrock by Mr. Cronly,on bebalf of Miss Teresa Ei- mond, just ag the steamer was about to haul out of her elip. The incident occasioned much cothusiasm amoug the roldiery, and seemed to please the spectators won- | drously. Col, Corcoran éxpressed himeclf extromely ‘atitied at the appropriate though simple gift, and said | 6 would strive hard to retain the good esteem of the fair donor. At last the arrangements for the departure of the steamer were completed. Amidst the firing of cannon, the dipping of flags, and the cheers of over fifty thou sand spectators, the Adger moved slowly from her pier, ‘and started on her voyage down the bay, Cheer after cheer rent the air asshe moved along, and the wa ing of hhnpnkerchiefs continued as long as the forms of the Bixty eet were visible on the deck of the fast receding veerel, The following is a list of the field, staff and line officers of the Sixty-ninth:— Colonel—Michae} Corcoran. Lieutenant Colonel—Robert Nugent. Major—Alderman James Bagley. Adjatant—Joha M-Keon, Chapiain—Rev. Thos. Mooney. Engineers—Judge UcCann and James B. Kirker. Surgeor—Dr. Kiernen.

Two thousand addtional men could have been forwarded, but the orders from headquarters prevented Colonel Corcoran from mus: tering more than 1,000 muskete, We are requested to state that the celay in the departure of the troops was occasioned by the neglect of tue authorities in not sup- plying the men with muskets until after nine o’clock— tbree hours after the hour agreed upon.

Ae the Sixty-ninth were marching down Broad way ygg- terday they halted in front of the Astor House, and wh there the heart of one of the recruite, a fne looking fel- low, was besieged by the lamentations of his wife aud children, who were on the sisewalk. fhe poor fellow could not stand it, and rushed from the ranks. His com. rades were disarming bim in the strect, when an, elderly and yery respectable looking gentleman stepped out of the crowd of spectators, seized the abandoned musket aud offered to take the Vacant gee, The offer, 9 prompt avd impulsive ‘on the part of thé old man, clicited cheers from the crowd, but it was not sccepted donbtiess on account of the age of him who mae the patristic profier. Upon inquiry, it was ascertained that the gentleman who thus volunteered was Mr. Michael Cooney, formerly of Albany, and one of the founders of the Emmet Guard, of that city,and was the first Lientenant of that Company when they volunteered their services to the general government in 1847, to go to Mexico—the tirst company 1o do ao in the Empire tate. Lioutenant Soouey went to ‘Washington in perton to urge the acceptafice of his com- mand, but the Temb regiment bill passed about that ime, and defeated his object. ¢ Albany Emmet Guard were in the city yesterday, en route to Washing- ton, mustering one hundred muskets. Lieatenant Cooaey is Dut a few months from the South, having resided seve- ral years in Montgomery, where ‘he has many warm friends. Yet, ae an adopted citizen, of Irish birth, he knows but one fisg, and, like al! his countrymen, is wil- ing to fight for it. ARRIVAL OF TROOPS IN NEW YORK. THE ALBANY SOLDIERS. The Twepty fifth regiment of Albanians (450 strong), which arrived in this city about twelve o'clock on Mon- day night, did not start yesterday moraing, as we atated in yesterday's edition. Our reporter learned at the Hua- von River Railroad depot, on Monday night, that the regiment was positively to start in the Ocean Queen fat four o'clock the following morning. But it now appears that the order to this effect, previously iesued, was countermanded, and there is no probability, according to the statement of the officer in command, of their leaving before this renom, Immediately after their arrival,on Moncay night, they proceeded to the Astor House and partook of refreshmente, About one o'clock yesterday mroing the regiment proceeded to No. 173 Broatway—a build which bas been placed at the disporal of e State by Messre. John lloyd & Co., real estate agente, for military parposes, Here they had to “rough it” during the remainder of the night, sleeping, like brave soldiers, on the bare boards, with their campaign Dlaakets thrown over them. The Albanians are fine, darhing, noble-looking fellows, weil knit, and splendidly developed. Every man of them looks evd feels himself a soldier: and should they get into the deadly breach, some big fighting may be ex pected from them. The delay of this regiment is owing to the fact that they have been waiting for knapsacks and ammunition—two very desirable adjuncts for the mission on which they are bent One hundred and seventy-five knapsack’ were forwarded to them yester- day mornivg from Boston, and tho remainder of what is required was expected by them last night. The scrow steamship Parkersburg, of Virginis, has been lying, with steam up, at pier No. 13 North River, for the last forty eight hours, ready to convey the 25th to Washington.

THER ARRIVAL AND RECEPTION—SPERUH OF SENA- TOR SUMNER TO THE SOLDIERS, ETC. Tho Third Battalion of Rides, from Worcester, Mass, , numbering 246 privates and 18 officers, left Worcester at éleven o'clock on Saturday, night and arrived at the Forty-second street railroud depot at eight o'clock on 5 Burdey morning. Although the hour of their arrival was eariy, a large number of people surrounded the depot to Greet the noble sons of New England, and encourage thems by their cheers to “fvht the good tight’? which they were on their way to engage in. Very little delay was made at the depot, and tne Worcester boys soon found Shemselves comfortably quartered ia the Fifth Aveane Hotel, under the charge of sfjor Todd, who undertook to have all the culinsry and other arrangements necemeary im readiness for them. Having partakenof breakfast, ad recruited themse!y: ‘tle, the battalion got em routs for the armory of the Seventh regimout (National Guard), where they drilled for abou" two hours and « half: re- turned to the hotel about two, aod partook of the #ab- stantials of a well spread bourd. By this time it Bed been reported abroad that the Massachuretis mec had ar- rived, and a large crowd of persons congregate) boty ja- side and outside the hotel, As s00n as any of tho wen appeared, after dinnor, they were eagerly sh cea by the hand by the gentlemen in the hotel, and even the fair denizens of that fashionable abode manifested « lively tu- terest in their regard—crowding around them and fisgh- ing these sweet encouraging smiles on them which are sufficient to make men’s hearts brave ag Hons, and fosr~ less of the rattle of tho bloody bullets or the slashing of the keen swords, Nor were these tokens of approbation thrown away on those for whom they were intended, for seldom indeed bas your reporter ever beheld a more stu- | worth, staunch, musoular, and well ordered body of men, and it is no exaggeration to say that they will earn a mark of distinction themselves in the coming conflict which will live long in the momories of thair ‘fellow country- men. Ata quarter tothree p’clock the battalion formed ig front of the hotel and started again for the armory, along Fifth avenue, Fourteenth street, Broadway, Eighth street, Fourth avenue, and thence through Sixth streets into the drill room of the Seventh regiment, where they again went through the infantry tactics {n such # manuer as to astonish those who witnessed them, Shortly after thelr arrival in the room Senator Sumner entered aad wag hailed with cheers, The battalion was forthwith throwm into line, when Mr. Sumner addressed them as follows SPEECH OF SENATOR SUMNER.

(Applause ) They have died well, for they died at the pos: of duty, and, dying as they did, they have piaged themselves on the paze of history precisely as their forefathers have been placed who died ‘y the battle field on the 19th aay of April, 1776. (Loud cheers) It was Massachusetts blood that wae firet poured out in the days of the Revolution on the felde of Lexington and Concord.
