ALBANY, April 15, 1870. ‘The crowds of boys from the wetropolla wuo have been here haunting the leaders during the past Week, who bave been day ailer day endeavoring to get an opportunity for BUZZING THE BOSS, have gone, and quietude and duiness again prevail upon the Albauian aills, Tae Tireless Tiger Tweed has been interviewed by peruaps seven hundred theasand—be the same more or less--since he Was a@ppoimted as chief in the city work, under @ new title, aud Cuarter Aleck, pronounced ‘for suorv’—as he proved to be such a “tough lad” — THE CHARTER OAK, bas been reduced almost to the size of Alexander H. Stevens, so much tas he been bored and botherea by the possessors of littie (?) claiins to be inserted in the tax Jevies, Those illustrious, voluminous and highly amteresting documents, as is aiready known, were reported last night by Mr. Charter Oak, and woulda have been made the speciai order tor to-day had the “Snooky Brigage” and the “Black Horse Cavalry” not been frightened into the beliel hat if THE TAX LEVIES were allowed to go through as rapidly as they should they would not be able to make their littie arrangements, or & might so happen that they would not get any “whack up’ at all, so they op- pose the passage of the levies and wake advantage of the admonition given last night by Mr. Polomus Aivord that the levies snould be passed, then there Would be a speedy adjournment and many of the LATTLE PRIVATE BILLS of members woula not be acted upon. Mr. Alvord was undoubtedly houest in the belie! which he ex- pressed, and the scailawags of the House take ad- Vantage of that to alarm those others who may be honestiy inclined to deiay the passage of the levies, Jt is safe to say now, however, that they will be passed very soon; they have been made the special order for Tuesday next at noon. THE RATE OF TAXATION IN NEW YORK will be much Jess than It was last year, and will be @ small fraction—if any—over two per ceat. Lasc year it Was 2.27 per cent, ana the diference will uo doubt be nailed as & good omen in the way oi re- trenchment and see which the jate fight has To- THE IRVING PLACE EXTENSION project was virtually killed in the Assembly, Mr. Hennessey has worked very hard to side this tarough, bub the irrepressiole Irving has been waicuing tim, and as James fas killed many heavy cattie in his time he had not mach diiculty in Knocking this critier on the head. He laid it on the tabie, and tere if wili remain, no doubt, until the session closes, To molly Ue wounded fecliugs of Mr. Hennessey, JOLLY JIM told him he had no particular objection to the bill, but he did not want it to pass, as it Would Impose a tax on Lis Const:tueuts of some $300,000, aud Would not benefs them at all; that “uf 1 should become Jaw, tue Urst bhiag you know you'll see buat beauusul GRAMERCY PASK CUT THROUGH, and—hold on vow—a rairoad rauatug up Lexington avenue. Now, my people don’t want toat, and 4 ior one Won't have it see?’ Thereupon Jim gave Jonn a ireudly nadge with ms elbow, and winking at the member from Slugo—who intended to save the Sixin ward from taxation for the project— waiked back to fis seat. So gues the Irving place extension, at least, for this session. The Assembly to-Gay passed the bill in relation to the jurisdicuion of THE MARINE COURT, by which all laws limiting its jurisdiction to c'vil gulls ior @uy @uoune less than 71,00) are repeaied, At provides ttt any court of record aay senu bo Lae Mariue Court ior trai any case Of itbel, slauder, assault, battery or false imprisonment pending in such are 10 Which issue tas been joined, it pro- vides tor THREE ADDITIONAL JUSTICES, makes the term of Judge six years, apd forbids any Judge pracusiug as aliorney or counsellor in any court or as re(eree. This Jast provision is one tbat should meet with much lavor and will Work # rerorm mach needed, Tue bill in relation to the legal powers of HUSBANDS AND WIVES, by which the husvand was to be entitled to hold or convey real estate without any regard io nis wile’s claun, or, in other words, making @ sort of business: divorce, Was to-day deteaved in the Assembly. It Was beleved to be & Tar bill, but Husted, of West- caester, made an explaaauon which suowed that itgave the hasband ail the power in regard to pro- perty, gave him a right to lis wile’s personal property but gave her none to his, A surring and earnest speech was made by MR. LITTLEJONN IN BENALY OF TEE WOMEN, and aitiough tbe rotund Fieids endeavored to ex- plain that the Lpression conveyed by the others was, wrong he could not succeed, and 80 the bill went down tothe dust. Littiejoan was ashamed that such a@ bui should ever have appeurd in the House, but he was giad to see suc a decided negative coming Out aetDst Ite Auwong the bills passed in the Assembly was one in relation to a RAILROAD WAR IN CHAUTAUQUA, m which the eugie-face Mat emus and the game mao Winans were engaged on opposite sides, ‘The bil is to Compei the towns along the rouse of we Dunkirk, Warren and Pitsourg road to liquidate the bonds issued by them.

This will be found @ great relief to the email traders along the coust, and while tt 1oterferes: with @ source of revenue Ww the pilots, cannot be re- garded as otherwise than just and fair, FIGHT OVER THE WESTCHESTER BOULEVARD BILL. ‘The road of roads into the Westchester people's Purses was most effectively commenced to-night in te Assembly. Tne Boulevard, Known as the West- caester turnpike and post road, was put upoa lis inal passage, When an attempt was made by Mr, Husted io Kil it by having it recommitied, with di rections to sirike out the enacting clause, This warmed Colonel Mooney and Captwwin Lawrence, und the debate grew quite fiery, Husted read sev ral documents irom prominent parties in Westches- ter ugainst tie toeasuse, and Mooney shook several roils of paper, Which he said contained tne signa- tures of 10,000 persons asking for the compietion of the roud. When thevote was taken several Kepublican voted in the afirmative on the ground that they toughe the bill would make repubditcan votes.

THE BOBOKEN POLICE COMMISSION. How the Police Force Is to Be Governed Henceiorth=No Removals on Account of Potitics—Eficiency and Economy=The Come mon Council in a Frettul Mood. On and after the frst Monduy in May the Hoboken Police Commission created by the late Legislature will assume the government of the police force, which has been hitherto under the control of the Common Council. ‘The commissioners shall consist of the Mayor for tne time being, August Bente, Wiliam H. Child, Wilham P. Judge and John E. McWhorter, the Mayor to be chairman of te board, The commissioners shall determine by lot at their first meeting Which one shail hold office ior oue yeur, which one for two and waicn for three, Each com- missioner appointed thereafter shail nold oflive for four years,and suail be appointedgoy tae Mayor, with the consent of the Common Council, Their services will be gratuitous. The present police force shall continue until alcered by une Board, and it 1s pro- vided that the officers stall remain in ofllce during good behavior, and no officer shall be removed for -polliteal reasons or on any grounds save incapactty, non-residence or disobedience of ruics. ‘Lhe salary will be fixed by the commissioners, who will suv- mit an anpual report aud dinaucial Blaveaent co the Common Council. ‘Tne Uity Clerk will be clerk to vhe Board, and the City Physician shail be Police Surgeon, and aeinher shall receive any extra pay therefur. Every sute- guard bas been adopted to prevent any unnecessary expenditure, and at the sume time lo increase ine eficieucy of the department. Tae Board wil mees twicea month, The Captain of the volice wili be the head of the whole force and will promulgate and enforce the regulatious of Lhe Board. With regard to the geutiemen Coustituting te commission no better selection could be made, Mr. Chid das oven for years treasurer of wie cliy; Mr. Judge ig regarded by every Class of the citizeus as & man of the " hignest integrity; Mr. MeWhotter was twive elected a chosen ireeaolder and August Bente isa respectable aad iniellizent representative of the German eement, Tue Mayor, Hazen Kimbali, 18 now entering Ou his second term of oifice, and is highly popuiar. Under suco mea there will be no sale or Jobbing of offices, aud It 13 provided in the bill that the police force shall not exceed thirty-live meuvers. Heretofore there was very little responsibility anywhere, the formanty of reporting appointments, disinissais, resignations and Vacancies Was gone through by the Police Com- mittee, salaries Were paid by the Common Council, ejections of officers touk placeat open meetings of tue Council, and where the candidates were numer- ous this method Of procedure often engendered il feeling. ‘There was no police organization in the true senée of the term. The Captain, Charies Dono- van, possessed some executive ability aud @ great dea: of energy, aba it was he wno imparted to the force much ofits cohesion and disciple. Tne Common Council 1s in high audgeon over the passage of tus police bill, It was made tne sudject of debate at a meeting of the Council, and a resolu- tion was dd condemning the measure as iuex- pedient, Hobogen 1s like Hackensack, in one respect at leas The wueeis of progress move slowly, and the man who puts his shoulder to une wheei with the view of accelerating it must brave the frowns of old sogies and ali whose barnbooks were printed in the elghteentn century.
