SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Aunany, Mareh 27, 1867. TRA THREE TIER RAILROAD BILL, ‘The Senate record of this morntng contains the obitu- ary of the Three Tier Railroad echeme, which is simply mmnouneed in the adoption by a vote of 20 to 7 of the adverse report of the Railroad Committee. It would be but repeating what is now quite a stale joke in the precincts of the Capitol were I to make the comment atc transit, &c. There are jokers on every serious sub- ject, and even the haplese Swain, with his road of many tears, now so gadly come to grief, is not exempt from their humor, The “heavy!? men of your city, who have been here ‘ opposition to the bill since Monday last, wor woth and nail, for its defeat, are charged with the an happy fate of the defun »me. No measure went eo swimmingly through the various stages of legisiation In the unusually large vote of one hundred and six (it $s seldom that Cver ninety out of the ono hundred and twenty-eight members are in attendance), it received ‘Dut one in the negative. With this prestige it went to ‘the Senate, where a speeay paskage was prophesied, es- cially a& the more objectionable Underground and ew Surface bills had been adopted there. You Know the rest of its history. Tam inclined to disagree with the report that the money bage of Jobo J. Astor, Jr., ef id genus omne, have had altogether to do with its defeat. One prime motive ‘will be found in the feeling of animosity which exists Yetween the Governor and the Senate, “I have alread: told you how Mr. Fenton has thrown off the rale whic! she republicans in that body bay ught to Ox upon bis adm.nistration. His veto of tl oas-town bill was a pretty certain index that he woyld veto the Tpree ier @r Transit bill, and hence out of piqi® they have voted it down that he might not have the chauce of the ‘victory of a veto, Fortunate for the community is all this. Legisli en the subject of New York city railroads needs recon- Struction, just like the Southern States. The matter aust all be commenced de now. Our legislators are all Defogged, and, like the man who had advanced on the wrong road, they must take a fresh start, It is too late to the present session to remedy their faults, Although ‘Abe city would be compelled to wait another year for the ‘waveilling facilities so much needed, it would be better te throw overboard all the present crcde, visionary and Yajurious plans than to give away without any to the city or State the most arising from imperfect and improper plans. Legislature consign all the railroads to the table and permit a new Logisiature, with the experience, sugges- tions, improvements and discoveries of a year’s interval, afresh. The public may chafe {meongruous, 1 i at schemes now before the Legislature. nents of the bill held their —e. in New York Joud for the name of the solit: individual i The committee on their arrival man—Mr. Hinson, of Buffalo—who of their warmest attentions ever ned and wined, and lias hed a Creesuses time” generally with tbe of the i CHRISTOPHER STREBT RAILROAD REDIVIVTS, In the Senate this morning Mr. Low, who is chairman @f the Railroad Committee, introduced, with uoanimous “an act to incorporate the Crose-Town Raiiroad ‘yetood by the Governor, modified so as to obviate his technical and legal objections. The title is also put in 108 present form with this view. This action would indi- ale ap incention on the part of the Senate not to pass the old bill over the Governor's veto, but to pass the ‘mew one in euch a shape tbat h i least on the same grounds as before, spference, however. The feeling between the republican factions is go strong that an attempt may be made to pass the original bill over the veto in order to vent a Little factional spite against the Governor, WLIS PASSED, A great many bilis were passed in both houses to-day. Among those in the Senate were the one to extend the term of office of the Croton Aqueduct Board, already no- iced, and to increase the powers of the Central Park Beard, so ag to permit their supervision of the extension of Fifth avenue, via Laurens street and West Broadway, to the Battery, The bill for the protection of persons travelling in Fourth avenue, otherwise to = the arching of the Harlem Railroad cut at Yorkville, was warmly dis- cuseed in the Senate to-day, and progressed. In the Ascembly the bill to amend the Militia law so ‘ae to render more stringent and still more odious its pro- visions for the enrolling and fining of all citizens not members of the National Guard was negatived this morning; bat @ reconsideration vote bronght it up and placed it on the table again. Those who, last summer, euddenly found themsetves invested with military Ronors will remember the law which this bill proposes to maake even more undesirable. HONORS TO CAPTAIN SAMUELS, OF THE HENRIETTA. Captain Samuels, of the Henrietta, who is in the city ov a visit, disputed with the Three fier bill the interost ‘of the morning session, and has been quite a lion at the capital, where, in his modest sailor's uniform, he has Deen a spectator of the day’s proceedings, and has had to undergo innumerable introductions and hand-shak- ings. Mr. Wagstal, of Leg od Jearning of his presen: announced the fact to the House, and moved that privileges of the floor be extended to Captain Samuels, of the yacht Henrietta, who had done more to roflect eredit upon American seamen than any other sailor of our State, ft was due to his skill and yess that thie should be accorded him.’” courtesy: ihe motion wi edoped avanimously.

The republicans responded in very bitter terms, and the report was adopted by an almost strictly pariy vote of 73 to 47. It then went to the menate, where it was concurred in. Thus the election of a con- vention to revise the constitution is fixed to take place on the 284 of April by Senatorial districia, aod with the present svstem of suffrage, provided, of coruse, the Gov-~ ervor signs the bill, about which there is little or no doubt, PROTECTION TO TRAVELLERS IN FOURTH AVENUE, The bill for the protection of traveilers in Fourth avenue at Yorkville was ordered toa third reading, but ina form which will not meet the expectations of its authors, Originally the Senate seemed to favor the provision requiring the Harlem Company to arch over the cut, but the bill as it now standa only requires the company to erect a perpendicular wall on side of the track extending four feet above the grade of the avenue, Lo be surmounted with ap iron railing three feet high, the intermediate filling to be done at the expense of the city. It 1s a noteworthy fact that during the past week in the interval since the first bill was introduced Chauncey M. Depew, the counsel, dud J, B. Dutcher, a director, of the Harlem road, have been in very close consultation with the members of the Senate. It was a hard fight between the property owners and the com- pany, but the latter came off victorious. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. Senate. Atnaxy, March 27, 1807. BULLS ADVANCED TO A THIRD READING.

Loxpom, March 4, 1867. Daak Seams Evrron—I last week paid a visit to the office of the Ocean Telegraph, in the Strand, and being an intimate friend of the head clerk I put myself en rapport with him, in order that I might get some stun- ning private information to write to you from this side of the water. Iam, therefore, able to furaish you with ‘some important news that hag never before been pub- Mshed, The clerk said it was the most interesting and expensive telegram that ever parsed over tho wires, €x- cepting a few by Mr. Seward, Ibis no less than a message from the eminent Ameri- can, Mr, A. H, Leeshore, the winner of the Crosby Opera House, to Queen Victoria’s sailor son Alfred: and I think it will do more than anything else to preserve the good feeling and harmony that exists, or ought to exist, ba- tween the two countries, These dear words (costing $5 each) are from said Leeshore, tendering to Prince Alfred, asa captain in the royal navy, the identical “might shirt” in which he was sitting when he received the shivermg, though joyful, news that he bad drawn the Opera House. As I before stated, such little mementoes will do more to cement the friendship between the two countries (which just now needs so much cement) than all the Motley letters and papers that ever before found their way to Seaward. Before giving the telegram I will give the historical incident on which @ is founded, An extract from the records of the period reads thus:— Tn the meantime Joe and ma had got hold of the mat- ter, and, to my unbounded astonishm nt, they bad received it at once as afact, 1 had andressed myse.f, for it was growing late, and was sitting in my long-tailed nightsbirt discussing the events of the ev thundering knock av the door announced not over yet, Ma went to the door and with the intelligence that “a man’? wanred to see me, ‘and that be said I bad drawn Crosby’s Opera House. [Despateh.] Pram pv Rocerr, Ti, Feb. 14. Your Roya Hwsaxess—At Lord Lennox’s dinner last December, in the excitement of the moment, you were pleased wo accept Mr, Bonvett’s challenge, and o‘Tered to sail yowr yacht, the Viking, against the Henrietta around ohe Isle of Wight. Mr. Bennett, in order to get out of eailng that race, and at the same time get your establiahment and himself well advertised, con- ceived the happy idea of presenting you with his victo- rious yacht, Ihave further learned that you have de- clined to receive the Henrietta, as you say you could not accept so costly @ present. The correspondence was of such an international character that I felt it my duty to further tho friendly feeling that now exists between the two countries, © sulfite és I bog, therefore, that you will accept, ss a valentine from a lucky American to a lucky Englishman, the long tail nightsbirt (in which I sat when I recoived the news tbat I bad drawn the immense “Crosby Opera House,” valued at $600,000) as it now swings on the clothes. line, in perfect order, on the prairie in front of my houge in Illinois, I have instructed my wife to hold it subject to your order, although @ Chicago Barnum has offered me $500 for it to exhibit along with the ticket, but without me in it I do not con- corve it would give a proper idea of affaire ¢ on the night that made it so famous. Knowing that yoa are a great sailor, I would add that this very garment (unlike the Henrietta) has ‘‘crossed the line” a hundred times, and ty wife says no navigator has ever done more travelling from pole to pole than she has to preserve this bit of canvass from being carried away by the high winds during the late stormy season, “The unbounded hos- pitality with which the American yachtmen have been received by all classes in England will alweys be remem- bered in the United States with the warmest gratitude,” and I sincerely hope that you will not deptive me of the opportunity of acknowledging this mostwordta) recep- tion by presenting you thia three and yards of New York Mills muslin im a form befitting » true sailor. Your obedient servant, A. H, LEESHORE. SPARRING EXHIBITION. Benefit of Sam Collyer—A “Nice’’ Crowd and Plenty ef Fan—-The Coming Fight Between Collyer and Aaron. ‘Last evening Sam Collyer took « beary benefit at Gothic Hall, Brooklyn, and the announcement that the “wind up” would be ‘‘fixed” by Sam and Mike Nunan attraced a goodly and, to uge the word in its literal sense, a “nice” party, consisting of sparts of every shade and color from New York and the City of Churches, Old Bill Tovee opened the amusement by a characteristic speech, and then intoduced one or two gentlemen who ‘obliged’? the cempany with songs of a peculiar musical nature, which seemed to immensely gratify the audience, who replid with witti- cisms and sarcasms forcibly appropriate te the occasion. Soon after there was an intermission of ten minutes, during which period some young gentlemen in the body of the hall amosed themselves by picking every pocket that was worth more thar five cepts, Then those who had coats buttomd them to the chin, and those only who tladn’t didn’t, The amateur sports next had a few frendly “knock downs,” and a rash was made for the platform to obtain ‘a nearer view. The gentlemen of the committee of management interfered, and the velerat Tovee wag- gishly invited ‘the audience to take theit seats (there were such for about one-fifth of those presgnt), bat they couldn’t see them, Fox and Edwards punmelled each other in a highly gratifying manner, and wrre rewarded with rounds of applause for the science they exhibited and the fraternal manoer in which they roled over and over on the floor and tried the strength of their heads againstJt. McCullough and Kelly were wel) received, and commenced very promising, but claret being drawn from the latter he apologized for his ‘‘csld,” and the two, with Dundreary bows, retired—McCullough refusing agentieman present to oblige a “friend,” 9 others: next and in a most pleasing manner pitched right in, drew claret, blacked eyes, beat and finally went over tho res achievement —_bavin, crowned heir aud pleasure and celight company to the highest, those master spirits were cheered again and agaiv, and then retired overpowered with applanse. To add to the enjoyment several of the participants bad their faces and heads dressed it oat ecientific and entertaining manner, and the ‘‘wi ‘ollyer and Nunan conciuded a deligitful evening’s rtainment, This was a very lively afair, the com- Ddatants being pretty well matched, th Collyer wan evidently the most active of the two axi the quickest fighter, Heavy blows were exchat on both sides, Collyer domg well in getting in on wiry antagonist, who was unable to parry his swift and flerce blows. The “finish” was intensely from its rattling cbarac- ter, aod brought the exhibition to an ed with s hurri- from the fraterni cane of applause ity pres- ent, who retired from the hall in a peacedble manner, gently throwing each other down stirs. The audience was unusually good natured, pe a ‘‘leetle” noisy, and, although they went through a few sete and re- moved the from one ead of the room tcjthe ether, they were btedly as well behaved ag reasonably expected. The third instalment of $700 each for the for the championship of the bx weights, between Collyer and Barney 1, for $3,000, to come off early in July next, was put up in the hands of the stakehower yester- day. They will both shertty go into training.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE WERALD, Falee Rumors—No Engagement at Quere- tare—Strength of Maximilian’s Army—Santa Anao’s Relations with Max—Captured Im- perial Cerrespondence—Persesal Bravery of the Emperer, Matamoros, March 16, 1867. Since my last we have had « variety of rumors and Statements of more or jess authenticity in reference to the campaign going on in the vicinity of Querétaro, On the 10th and 11th a rumor, based upon statements contained ip private letters, was rife that the liberals had met with an utter defeat, and that Escobedo had Jost his trains and had fled before the imperialiats to Guanajuato, There was another statement purporting to give later news, to the effect that Escobedo witt bie army had fallen back to San Luis, and that Juarez was expected in Monterey, fleeing before the advancing columns of the enemy. There wero not wanting plenty of details and incidents confirmative of these rumors. The officers engaged, the number of killed and wounded and other things calculated to give the story a coloring of truth, were reported and published by the local papers, and the imperialists were exultant and the liberals correspondingly depressed. However time, which unravels and exposes the best concocted tales, into the elements of which truth does not enter; performed its duty very effectually in the present instance, and: through the arrival of the Monterey stage, on the night of the 12th, put a quietus to the whole story. ” ‘There was pote particle of truth in the various ru- mors, which would seem to have been concocted in Monterey and Matamoror, as nothing was generally known of them in the former piace. Up to the present writing we have received no news Sa general engagement. The Periodico Official, of Monterey, publishes a letter dated San Luis, February 28. in which it 1s stated that Maximilian, Marquez Mira- mon, Mejia and Castillo are at Querétaro, with 10,000 men, one-third of whom are raw recruits, one-third regular troops and the balance foreigners. Foor days previous Maximilian and Miramon, with 4,000 men bad made a move against Corona, but had returned to Querdé- taro. From letters received at headqnarters here, mostly of an official character, Iam permitted to collate the follow- ing, The dates are up to the 28th ult. :— fhe liberals had advanced their forces to within seven leagues of Querétaro. Porfirio Diaz was to march upon Querstaro through the plains of Apam. The authenticity of the manifesto or protest of the Foreign Ministers at the capital is doubted, General Paz had an inlerview with Juarez at San Luis, which was followed by an order to send several heavy pieces of artillery to the front. Trevino had asked for a rein- forcement, promising to capture ‘‘the Austrian.”’ Esco- ‘bedo had been to Guanajuato on official business, This would seem to covfirm a statement made in my last despatch, on the base of official papers, that the troeps of Escobedo and Corona were within supporting dis- tance. ‘The imperialists are circulating the story that Maxi- milian ig desiring to avoid the spilling of Mexican blood, and tbat ho will make some arrangements with the republicans. This is impossible, as the Juarez govern- ment will make no arrangement of any character, The Monterey Periodico Oficial has the following (no authority is given for the statements) :— Tbe liberal chief attacked the traitor Quiroga at Celaya, ‘The Jatter, surrounded, demanded to capitulate, Some say that in accordance with tho articles of sur render the arms and ammunition were turned over to the yietor, whit tg that Quiroga escaped dur- fag tee oben Pheeditige em xe sources we learn that Maximilian, ared Velez in the Mante de las Nine Frenchmen, of tle of San Jacinto, surrendered to Gen. not receive the same treatment as’ their Corin’ beer] were not taken with arms in their them and they are now Tee all | di E Haat eFad : i F 5g Hy 1 +E four Upon cupy (San Luts de la Paz) ‘with two thousand men and a baitery; the other divi- sions have each three batteries. occupied received tl taro, ‘The manifesto of the diplomatic corps has, it is said, caused a bad impression among the imperialists, and . = E s z ‘ & discouraged them much. I omitted to mention that there wo thousand foreigners in the imperial army, butl blind faith that we shall defeat them. At the last hour I received news of Colonel José Casio Pantones and of G. Lista. These two chiefs, with five hundred meo, have whipped Marquez and the Em- peror near Ca!pulaipam, causing them great trouble with the ambuscades established by our forces on dif- ferent points. Maximilian in person must have taken part in the en- gagement.

After completiny bis studies Tone entered upon the noble career ia which he sacrificed his life. His great aim and object was the redemption of bis native land from the galing yoke of serfdom imposed upon it by England.

When identified by Sir George Hull he was in the uniform of a French officer; but when ordered to be fettered he divested himself of the uniform, indignantly exclaiming, + These fetters shall never degrade the insignia of the free nation which I have served.”” (appt Resuming his calmness, he offered his limbs for the irons, and when fettered he said:—‘‘For the cause which I have embraced I feel prouder to wear thess chains than if I were decorated ‘with the Star and Garter of England.’’ (Great applause.) Tone, immediately after his capture, was conveyed on horseback to Dublin, thrown into the Proyost’s prison, under the notorious Major Sandys, tried by court mar- tial and sentenced to death, a tate which he antic! and was prepared for. And so closed the wonderful career of a wonderful man, one who, falling a sacrifice at thé carly of tpiny-tve, struck out the only means by which Ireland or any nation can hope to win its freedom or sustain it—unity and mutual trust, which breeds universal courage.

D. The comference was not largely attended, but those pre- sent took a deop interest in the oxercises, which were opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Blanchard, After some remarks by the Vice President, Mr. C. B. Gerrisb, the Rev. W. T. Clarke was introduced, and delivered a Jengthy and interesting address on the subect of “Amusement.”’ He said—One thing we want in our re- ligion is to do complete justice to human nature. While we provide for the spiritual we must have gymnasiui for the temporal. We want more religion 1n our amuse- ments; not the hard, dyspeptic religion, with constant singing, but religion with playin it. Yoa may ty to crush human nature, but the hand will leave its im ion. We want more amusement for health, more amusement for bappiness, and we need {t for the pleasure it will give. I don’t be- lieve in the man who cannot laugh, who cannot send up his voice in beautiful song. Ido not want to see the man who is always sour day to day. We want amusement at home, It is natural for man to play. The church does not provide nor even tolerate amuse- ments, and allows the devil to provide them in the bar- Toom and other vile consequence is that our society fs filed with the huiks of ruined humanity. ‘We must provide amusements at home. We vide amusement for our youth, and not tet the devil provide it, We must make these home amusements at- ‘tractive and alluring. What we want is to have under very structure of this church the pleasures that men require, and keep them from taking what world offers. ir.
