I find that the Apportionment Committee have dually agreed upon the first nine Congressional districts, com- prising Long Island, Staten Island and the city of Now York. The First Congressional district is as 1 Jast night, with the addition of the country towns of Kings county, The district comprises the counties of Suffolk, Queens, Richinond and the county town of Kings county. The Second Congressional district is made up of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eleventh, Thir teenth, Fourteenth and Nineteeuta wards of the city of Brooklyn. The Third district comprises the Sixth , Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventecnth and Eighteeuth wards of the city of Brooklyn. The six districts of New York the same as [telegraphed last night. Several of the couatry districts are partly agreed upon; but there is such a contest over them that they may be chonged at a fusure mecting of the committee, anda prediction of the probable result can hardly be made. ‘There is, however, but little doubt that Ulster and Columbia will form one district, and Albany ‘and Schenectady another. Every aspirant for Congress has a district to suit himself, and this, as a matter of course, makes many conflicting plans and a spirited con- troversy. The first nine districts may therefore be said to be the only districts fully agseed upon by the com- mittee. The Ways and Means Committeo, st the request of Mr. | Loutrel, have agreed to send for Benj, F. Brady, of Now York, who has made himself famous in engrossing on parchment, for the purpose of making arrangements with him for engrossing on parchment the resolutions of Mr. Loatrel complimenting Mr. Ericsson and the officers and crew of the Monitor. But little was done of general interest in the Senate this morning. A majority of the Judiciary Committeo reported adversely to the bill relative to the premium notes of insolvent mutual insurance companies. The minority of the committee reported another bill as a sub- stitute, thus leaving the matter still open for future dis- cussion. That branch of the Legisiature adjourned at an. eariy hour until Monday evening. This being the last day for introducing bills, eyery member introduced all that be had on hand, to close up that class of business. Bills may , however, be lhiereafter introduced, but cannot be considered, exeept by unaui- mous consent, until after those presented on or before ‘the 15th day of March have been considered. The resolution of Mr. Raymond, introduced yesterday, for the appointment of a grinding committee, or, as come dave styled it, a sifting committee, was called up to-day. ‘Mr. Raymond called Mr. Pringle to the chair, and took the door to defend his bautling. The resolution was favored by Messrs. Raymond, Alvord and Stetson, and fwally adopted, amended only in one particular. The Teliowing is a copy of the resolution, as finally adopted, by & vote of 74’ ayes to 10 noes—those voting in the negative being Messrs. Booksiaver, Coddington, Cosy, Kenney, Lalor, Loutrel, Pierce, smith and Wells:— Resoived, That a select committee. of niue be appointed, to which sliall be referred the Generai Orders, with power 10 select therefrom such bills a8 they may deem ‘proper, and to Teport the same complete, rovided, 2.

Onc year one kind of grindiag committee is adopted; another, Gomething else; and thus they change from one plan to nother 10 facilitate business at the ciose of the scssion. It is from these machines—for such they are—arise nearly ali the evil legislation that the State is inflicted with. The passage of such bills as the West Washington ‘Market and that clasa is the direct result of theso grind- img committees, and, with all the honeyed phrases in these resolutions, there is nothing to prevent the commit- tee from grinding out bilis of that mature; and if there ‘are apy such ou the files the public may expect them to suddeoly turn up. One great fault of ail these committees fis thoy the special bills ahead, and secure their pas- Sage, to the detriment of bills of public interest and importance. The result will ve that we shail bave upon ur statute books flood of and private bills, about oue- tobe repealed next year. This mt least is the result of the past. And it is accomplished to the detriment of public bugiges:, and those bills which are newessary Public interests are allewed to go unacted upon. If the members desire to really lo justice vo the people of the State, then they should order the appointment of a eom- mittee to select from the general orders ali such bilis as ereof general public importance and interest, and refer them to the Committee of the Whoie, with a proviso that po other bill shall be consi‘tered until they are disposed of. But the trouble is, almost every member has some Jocal bill which he cares more abot the passage of than he does those of a public vature, and hence they go in for the grinding committee, and the State is always cursed with too much local legislation. have a radical change in our rules of legislation, this monster evil will be sprang upon us every y it comes regularly im some form or other, and wily continue to make its ann ai visite, disgracing every Legis Jatare and adding chapters of corruption to their proceed. éngs, until the constitution is chauged, giviug to the members decont salaries and removing the restriction of one hundred days’ session, and allowing them to re- main here to attend to the business deesntly and in order. With that change, no person could have the fa: to rise in his place and propose a grinding committee; there would be no excuse to justify suchamove. The trouble gow is, the one hundred days’ session gives mem- bera an excuse to vote for a grinding committee, and then slip through all the jobs and stealing schemes, un- der the plea that they are local bills, when, if they could be fully examined in the House, ‘they could not pass. Yes, they are local bills; the nigger is always found in fence of they are never in the bills of genera! public interest, tor everybody is watching them; but he quietly finds his way into these local bills— just such biils as this grinding commiitee of Raymon. 5 are to consider, These ‘‘big things.” to use the common here, are yet in the gronnd.

Str—I am in receipt of your report on the aj of Messrs. Swilt & Allen, from your assessment of duty at the rate of tweaty per cent, uuder the tariff act of March 2, 1861, on “old yellow metal’? imported by thom. The ninoteonth section of that act imposes a duty at the rate of ton per cent “on brass, in pigs or bars, or when old and fit only to be remauu- factured.’’ The importers claim im this case, toenter the “yellow metal’’ as “old brass,’’ because it resem- bles brass in the nature of its componevt materials, al- though they arenot combined in *‘brass’’ and ‘‘yellow metal” in the same proportions. The tariffact of 1842, which regulates the assessment of duties on unenumerat- od articles, by the resmbiance they bear ia cortain par- ticulars to enumerated articles, cannot apply in this case, because ‘yellow metal” must be. held to be em- braced either in the provision in the twenty-second sec- tion of the tariff act of Mareh 2, 1861, for ‘‘mauufactures, articles, vessels, aad wares not otharwise provided for, of brass, copper, gold, iron, tead, pewter, platina, silver, tin or other metal, or of which either of these metals, or any other metal shall be the compouent material of chief value,’’ or inthe provision of the twentieth section of that act, for ‘‘metals unmanufactured, not otherwise provided for.” It is true that there is.a specific provision for “yeliow metal’ in the free list, when prepared for sheathing purposes, and of certain dimensions and weight therein prescribed, but it is understood that the article in question does aot conform to those conditions. ‘The only point, therefore, to be determived in this case is, whether the article is manufactured or unmanufactur- od within the meaning of the law. I infer from your report that although the article has ouce been manuiac- tured, it is now old, and undit for any other purpose than as a raw material to be reworked. In that view I am of opinion that your assessment of duty at the rate of twen- ty per ceut, under the provision in the twenty-second section, for ‘metals manufactured, net otherwise provid- ed for," was correct, aud it is hereby affirmed.

Smm—I have careiully cousidered your report of the 12th ultimo, on the appeal of 3. McLean & Co. from your de Cision, assessing a duty at the rate of ‘twelve cents per pound, and, im addition thereto, twenty-five per centum: ad valore:n’’.on certain wool, worstei and silk shawis, embroidered: the appellant claiming entvy of said mer- chandise at the rate of thirty per ceut, under the pro- vision in the twenty-second section of said tariff, for “‘manufactures of cotton, linen, silk, wool or worsted, if embroidered or tamboured in the loom or otherwise by machinery, or with ‘the needle or other process, not otherwise provided for.’* These shawis, being manufac- tared in part of wool and embroiderod, tail, in my opinion, clearly within the olaasification in the secon bdivision of section 13 of the act of 24 March, 1861, “clothing ready wade aud wearing apparel of every de- scription, compoaed wholly or ia part of wool, made up or manufactufed wholly or in part by the tailor, seam- stress or mauufacturer,” or on ‘woollen cloths, woollen shawls and all manufactures of wool of every descrip- tion, made wholly or in partof wool, uot otherwise pro- vided for,” that they were properly subjected by you to the duty of twelve cents per pound and twenty-flve per cent ad valorem, a8 provided ia that section. The provision teferred to by the importers in the twenty seooud section of the Tariff act of March 2, 1861, for ‘manufactures of cotton, silk, wool, or worsted, if embroidered or tamboured in the loom or otherwise, by machinery, or with the needle or other process, not otherwise provided for,” can have no appli- cation to the merchandise in question, it being ‘ provid- ed for” in the thirteenth section of the act.

Siz—I have had under consideration your report ou the appeal of Mr. William Maclayish from your decision, subjecting to duty, at the rate of twenty jer cent, under the provision for “ skins, tanned and dressed, of all kinds,’ in the 20th section of the act of March 2, 1361, bufiaio robes, the appellant claiming enuy o said robes at aduty of ten percent. The uineteonth section of the tariff act of 2d March, 1861, imposes a duty of ‘en per cent on fars, @ressed or undressed, whea on the skin. Section twenty of said tariff act imposes a duty of twenty per ceut on ‘‘skins tanned and dress of all kinds.” It is very evident that butialo robes cannot be regarded as “‘skins tanned or dressed,” nor as ‘‘furs on the skins, not being kuowa i the trade under that classification, but being enumerated in the tariff, they are assimilated, by virtae of the twentieth section of the tariff act of 1842, to “furson the skin,’ aad will be sabjected to the some rate of duty—viz., en per ceut ad valorem. 1am, very respectfuliy, 3.

The imports for the past wi ae bt very heavy indeed, being nearly double those of the cor- responding week last year, and falling but a million and aquarter short of those of the extremely active week at the corresponding date in 1860. For the guidance of members of Congress, who will be shortly called upon to remodel the tariff, we subjoin the following list of the leading articles imported at this port since March 8:— The course of our import trade for the past three months proves that the citil war and the cessation of cotton exports have not materially checked the consumption of fofeign goods at the North. Our people are consuming nearly as much tea, coffee, sugar, metals and dry goods as they would have done had no war broken out. The fact is significant, and should have its proper weight with the Committee of Ways and Means. ‘The present duty on tea, coffee, sugar’, molasses, tip, lead, cutlery and foreign manufactures of wool, silk, cotton and flax may be doubled without reducing consumption very materially, and with a very large gain of revenue to the govern- ment. If Mr. Morrill wants revenue it can be gq here. It is presumed that the importation of foreign firearms is nearly ended; we must have re. ceived the entire $2,000,000 worth ordered by government. Nor is it likely that we shall receive much more cotton from abroad: In the course of the ensuing month we should be receiving large quantities of the staple from the rebellious States. The exports of produce, merchandise and specie last week fell short of the imports of foreign goods, and the balance of trade is steadily but slowly tarning against us. This will probably be regulated by remittances of American stocks for sale abroad.

It is understood that the hanks have not been free sellers of go- vernmont bonds during the past Wwe ff they are wise tloy will not forte Qt present. If the rebellion ho suppraased in the ool of the noxt sixty to ninety days, United States sjxes will sell at par or a premium, and there will be an active demand for them abroad. The steady accumula- tion of coin in the bank vaults is the chief cause of the dulness in the specie market. Speculatorsare afraid te buy while the banks hold, in terrorem over their heads, thirty millions of gold which cost per. It has been suggested by some bank officers that the banks ought to resume specie payment. This is merely idle talk, me@ning a trick upon the public. One hun- dred and fifty millions of irredeemable paper are about to be set afloat by government, and, being a legal tender, to be made the chief currency of the country, The bulk of this money will go into bank, as deposits. For our city banks to undertake to say that they will do that which the makers of this paper expressly decline to do—namely, redeem it in coin—is to promise that which they cannot per- form, and to generate an active speculation in gold. So long as any kind of paper is a legal ten- der, some of our leading banks can resume specie payments. The bankers who talk of resuming in- tend to trick their customers by promising to pay coin, and really meeting demands upon them in legal tender notes. Matters are very well as they are, for the present, and there is no use in attempting fresh changes. By and by,if the Union cause continues to prosper, Congress can repeal the legal tender clause of the recent act, and then our banks will be enabled to reaume without difi- culty. In the event of the suppression of the re- bellion, the public will gladly float $150,000,000 of government paper at par, without any legal ten- der clause, and the banks will then be at liberty to pursue any course which they may deem expedi- ent. We notice that the country banks are in- creasing their circulation very rapidly. The volume of country money afloat is considerably greater than usual, and, judging from the conversation and the letters of country bankers, it has not yet reached its limit. The money market closed yesterday with an abundant supply’on call at six per cent, and an ac” tive demand for first class paper. The range of first class names is, of course, much narrower than it wasa couple of years ago, and many names which were formerly classed as fair to good are now difficult of sale. None of the government cer- tificates of indebtedness have yet come into the market; they are expected early this week» and when they first appear they will probably operate as absorbents of money, and may, for # few days, have the effect of causing some little activity in the market. As, however, they will take the place of money in bank and at the bankers’, and in the country especially will serve as a currency, the ultimate eftect of their emission, like that of the legal tender notes, must be to render money more abundant and increase the expansion of credit. The present rate of interest in Europe is consider- ably lower than it is here. In London call loans are offered on consols at 134 per cent per annum; and in the event of continued successes by the Union armies it may be taken for granted that considerable amounts will come here for tempo- rary employment, notwithstanding the continued efforts of the secessionist organs in England to decry the financial condition of this country. After the passage of the Tax bill, and a few more Union successes, it will be apparent even to the most prejudiced foreigner that the finances of the Union rest on a basis of greater solidity than those of any of the monarchical governments of Europe. Foreign exchange closed yesterday at 111% a 112 for bankers’ steiling, and 5.05 a 5.10 for francs. Sales were effected yesterday morning of first class bankers’ bills at 11124, though the asking price at the leading houses continués to be 112. Both the supply of and the demand for bills are lighter than usual. Gold continues to fluctuate between 14 and 134, the bulk of the sales last week being at 1%. At the present price of gold there is a small profit on its exportation to cover bills drawn at the market rate of exchange, and cogsequently there was a considerable shipment last week. Very little money has been realized by the bankers and speculators who purchased gold when the banks suspended; the loss of interest has, in many cases, absorbed all the premium obtained on sales. A further upward movement in the precious metal may, perhaps, however, be expected still. The following table shows the course of the stock market for the past week and month:— Fe. 1a. Feb. 22.

A large business has been done in govagnment securities, especially the sixes of 1851, whith are freely taken by the pub- lic as fast as they are sold by the banks. All classes of Treasury notes are active. The 7.30 notes are at par, aud a small premium is given for the small notes. The 6 per cents are likewise in demand at a fractional premium. No orders for any government securities have yet come from Europe; but the bankers say that if our military and naval successes continue the 6 per cents will become a favorite investment on the other side, both in Germany and in England. State stocks continue ac! and buoyant. Virginias, Tennes- sees, Missouris and North Carolinas are all in re- quest at the Brokers’ Board, at prices ranging from 10 to 16 per cent higher than those which ruled six or seven weeks ago. In the event—which seems probable enough—that Mis- souri comes out of this war a free State, her State bonds will be worth at least as much as the bonds of the State of Mlinois. Much more uncertainty attaches to the bonds of ‘Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina, which seem unlikely to change their institutions for many years to come, and which must, after the war, go through a long pe- riod of severe suffering. Virginia cannot but be considered a bankrupt State. The war has de- prived her of many of the resources which used to supply the means for paying the interest on her large debt; and the conduct of her leading citizens has thoroughly dispelled the delusions so long en- tentained with regard to the honor of the Old Do- minion. It is very generally feared that the bulk of the present debt of Virginia will be repudiated, not only because the rebels are unlikely to pay any debt which they can evade, but also because, after the war, they may find themselves without the means of paying any debts. The business in railway shares has been largo during the past week. Speculators have been freely buying the stock of the Erie, Toledo, Rock Island, Galena and the Michigan roads, and all leaartig railway bonds. Of the latter there are few which remain so low 24 t be a tempting pur- chase. The sinking funda the Michigan Southern, to which we drew attention a few weeks since, have advanced 144 por cént duriug the past seek, and, as they are the only first class bond Which can be bought at 92, they are likely to rise in the favor of speculators. The large issues of paper money which are forthcoming promise to place all first class seven per cent securities above par. The Erie bonds and stock are favorites with a large class of operators, and the handsome earn- ings of the road stimulate purchases at the Present time. For February the retarn shows an increase of $210,000, and for the five morths ending March 1 of $1,200,000. We leora tliat Mr. Marsh, the late receiver, and ~ , Interest on debt, 1861.....

Com- Paratively, the preterred shares are higher than the common stock, and the shrewdest opérators on ’Ghange are giving the preference to the latter. Central seems latterly to be neglected; it advanced six to seven per cent, while Brie remained stationa- ry. Rock Island, Galena and Michigan Central and Southern have their friends; and, as all the roads are doing well, and have fair prospects for the ensuing year, the price of the stocks may ad" vance. If Toledo is replaced on the dividend pay- ing list, as seems probable, it can hardly fail to move upward, A committee has been appointed by the Stock Exchange to visit Washington in reference to the proposed tax on transactions at the Brokers’ Board. It seems probable that the Committee of Ways and Means merely intended to impose a tax of one-tenth per cent on commissions at the Board; whereas the bill reads one-tenth on the gross pro- duct of all sales and purchases. Such a tax would in every case nearly equal the entire commission of the broker, and in the case of sales of first class securities, such as Panama, New York State stocks, and by and by of government securities, it would exceed it. In other words, the tax would equal and perhaps exceed the whole income of the Stock Exchange. The committee will doubtless set this anomaly straight without delay, especially as it is impertant, at the present juncture, to throw no im- pediments in the way of the investment of capital in United States securities. We learn that the Stock Exchange committee will propose to Mr. Stevens to commute their tax for such a yearly sum as shall be satisfactory to Congress.
