We call attention to an important letter from Albany herewith printed on the Financial posi tion and prospects of our State. It deserves careful consideration Prof. Agassiz, whose lectures on South Amenica have been of great interest, concluded his scries last eveming with a report of hig observations of the monkeys' and other ani mals of that conntry. We print a full report of the lecture. I'he House thought it worth while to have a committee to investigate sundry allegations of political bargaining between the President and Members of Congress. The result is, Mr. John Wentworth's rather uninteresting report, wherein much is hinted but nothing fully dis- l.coyered—and the whole matter ends in smoke. A paragraph of the report of the action of the House on the "Tax bill, on Mond not furnished to the press, is elsewhere printed.

The loss 1l almost exclusively on the poor, among whom this copper was the chief circulating medium. Riots ocenrved in every part of the city, but have not yet resulted in the over- throw of the brutish despotism at Co [ nople, Our 'mail advices and Cable dispatehes bring | | us additional news of the Fenian excite | On the 12th inst., the day after the Chester, nnmerous arvests were made in Dub- lin of persons who had gone over from Ln- nd in a steamer ; and the latest arvest, made yesterday, is that of Capt.

The Derby Government, it appears -from a (?nlrhe din_puu'h, have been compelled to change their tactics on the subject of Reform. Lhey have yiclded to the double pressure of popular demonktrations and Parliamentary opposition, the people outside, and John Bright and his coadjutors within, the walls of Parliamcnt, and withdrawn uu. rogolutions, promising at the same time to introduce a Reform bill in reeular shape, aud on their proper responsibility.. Tho first Cable dispateh of yesterday informing us {hat the Government plan of reform mot with the approval of «the leading papers, was con- trary to facl; the papers received by mail being all but unanimous in condemning At any rate, the hest prool of its unpopularily is t of il by its authors. e THE TARI The Hounse yesterday ed d 20 of the 275 amendments of the Committee on Ways and Means to the Senate Tarilf bill, a rate of pro- t would finish the bill in 13 days. ations, certainly most deliberate, with the indifference shown to {his important measure the abandoun e are in keeping by the Ilouse " gince it was returned by the Com- mittee oo the 1dth instant. Up to yesterday, nothing whatever was done; and if the delays of yesterday are o be continued, {he end of the session will be reached bofore the bill is half considered. We have printed the Senate Dbill; it bas Deen a subject of newspaper comment for weeks; every member of the louse has had & copy of it lard on his desk, yet a {wo-thirds vote could not be secured yesterday to dispenso with its formal reading by the Clerk, We presumo that officer read very rapidly, and having no Jisteners, possibly skipped a trifle, here and there, of the 112 printed pages of his document. Yet this reading occupied from two Lo three hours, This is a fair instance of tho treatment the measure —meets with from ita opponents, and can only be regarded as a scandalous waste of valuable time, for we do mot believe that a single member who veted for the reading of the bill paid the slightest attention to the Clerk. I'his farce ended, Mr. Morrill, whose labors for Protection will mot soon be forgotten, one moved to termiv general debato in minute, a rale which was adopted, and, having by the drearieat delay, justified its reputation as & deliberative body, the House consented to consider, one by one, the amendments proposed by its Committee. The most important of those adopted was that making the bill e effect ten days after its pagsage, necessa to prevent the excessive importation wh long impending increased dutics wonld gtimu- late. The increased duty on plain cotton goods from 4 (o 5 cents per yard, and the inerease on were rejected, and the amendment rkets cotton hosie adopting the valuation of wools in the n whence exported as a basis of duty, was adopted. These were the ouly important changes made yesterday, and we bers of the House if this kind of leg ation can upon any plea be excused or tol ated ¥ If there was any esseniial issue, there might be excise for further delay. But there is itone, Lhe !g_»p‘l#' ;‘uirlifl:‘.:w%fii and the teeehery of some of the Prolecyonisis in the Hounse, who, m atter contempt of the industey of the whole country, which depends upon this measurd, care only for wrangling abont details, We beg members of “Congreas to abandon the patron N interests, all or most of which are protected by this bill, though alw much as they should be, and o recollect the needs of all manufactures and the lateness of the seasion.

If the Assembly had yesterday passed the bill, a day would 1t was content with debnting in that debate is useless, for it Constitationsl Convention ave | it. We has been saved. Ay ertained (hat there is o majorily . Fenton's plan, and the argn U T improbable they will change another vote. We print on our second page to-day a letter from Mr. Sindair Tousey, in which everything that can be urged against this plan is ably said, ithout disproving, in our antages of adopting it. It must be remembered that the election of 42 delegates at large not @ necessity, and it adopted without qualification would be an evident act of very questionable justice, for every one of the 22 delegates would be a Republican. It would be as unwise as un- fair for the Legislature to adopt s plan which would become a precedent by which any future Legislature, intrusted with the wization of a State Convention, might e in it a party majority of amy number. Mr. Touscy’s argument against giving the Democrats 16 delegates when the Republi- cans might eleet 82, is, therefore, inadmissible in policy as well as in priuciple. The ohject of electing additional delegates is to obtain in the Convention the presence of 42 gentlemen who will divectly represens the entire people of the State, and not merely he the representatives of districts. The plan is but the means of getting a larger and better representation, and their division hetween the two at parties will seeme this o)) with- out lessening or increasing by a single vote the minority of the Domocrats in the Conven- tion. Should the local delegates be ele from the Assembly Distriets, the Bepublican majority in the Convention, taking the present complexion of the Assembly for a basis, wonld be 6. 10 the plan of clecting from both Sen- ate and Assembly Districts should be adopted ~and we trust it will, believing that a la Convention would better represent the people of ( ments against it are so well known th in favo opinion, the ad- e the Convention would probably have 101 Repablicans to 55 Democrats, By adding 52 delegates, without changing the relative vote, the Convention would number 126, and who shall say that this number would be too great for a body intrusted with work of snch great importanee ? It we choose to only a means of advancing Republic. terests, the election of 16 delegates from party i8 an evident advantage to us. Tousey does not believe that the Democrats would eleet their hest men’; ho will not trust them. Supposing he is corregl, the Democratic party will be the loser. But, on the other land, what will be the vesult of the clection of 16 Republicans, as delegates at large? As Mr. Speneer said to the General Committee, and as the friends of Mr. Little- John’s amendment rgued in the Assembly, the effect will be to have the Republicans of Nt-yx’—\‘m-k City represented in the Convention, I'his is an all-important point for us to gain, look upon the Convention Mr, ask the mem- | - | Powel are somewhat misty. In-ndffl_lol.ednlhmhcouidor how great is the interest of the 85,000 Republicans of this ‘ city in the Convention, and how just that they <hould have a voice, at least, in the revision of the Constitution, If for no other reason, the Governor's plan should be adopted, and we are surprised that all Republicans do not see how greatly the advantage outweighs any objec- tions to the election of 16 Democrats, whose | voles are sure to be neutralized by 16 of their opponents. We owe, it appears, the postponement of the bill in the Assembly yesterday to the oppo- sition of Messrs. Wood, Parker, Henry Smith, and Vandenburgh to the Littlejohn amend- ment, and the majority wishing to pass it were defeated by Parliamentary rules. The bill is a special order in both Iouses tp- day, and the majorities in both are in favor of the election of 52 delegates at large. We hope they will insist upon the Littlejohn amend- ment, and carry the bill straight through both Houses without another day's delay. THE ONE RICHT WAT. To the multitudinous Department Clerks, Army Officers, Firemen, and other salaried per- sons who write us in remonstrance against our opposition to the iuercase of pay they severally require, we respond, once for all, as follows: There is pregisely one just, equal, and benefi- cent mode of dolng what you require—by re- suming Specie Payment—and for that we are doing our very best.

Des Member of the Canadian Cabinet, and probably under genial and deipnosophistical influences, Mr. Seward said something to his guest about the sublime beauties of the Dritish Parliament, which that guest earries back to England as an argument against Parlismentary Reform. For we don’t suppose that, ill as be thinks of the present Congress, and little rcason as he has for loving it, Mr. Seward is really in favor of rotten boroughs and general popular dis- franchisement. Nor was Mr. Lincoln, who was quoted as expressing o similar opinion. The flower of this thetorical erowd to which we have alluded was undoubtedly Mr. Horsman. If the England of to-day, full of pain and anxiety, and sorely troubled about the future, can be saved by oratorical common-places, and by thread-bare phrases, Horsman is the pre- destinate savior of the empire, He is the Tan to talk about “purer and higher prineiples.” About “the maxims of the religion which is “our hope” About “our noble Constitution, “which is the bulwark of freedom.” Also “the “ type of progress.” Also “the envy and ad- “miration of the world” We wonder how long loose, and flabby, and c_o_xg\'cnt'ion:nl, u.ml traditional talk like this can make eyen a Té- spectable stand against Mr. John Bright's elo quence and common sense. When we say not long, we do not speak without experienee. We have tried that medicine for political ills upon this side, to our exceeding sorrow and expense. Neither dinners nor such speeches after them— neither beef nor sophistry, neither venison nor platitudes, neither turtle nor sneers at the United Statgs, nejther port wine nor pathetic praises of the past, can do more than Iull the England of to-day into a slumberons confidence which will be fatal to the England of to-mor- yow. Indeed, the time even for doing so much scems to have gone by. The beef at the tavern-dinners may be potent, but the want of it in the poor man's pot will prove more potent still. At any rate, the diffieulty will hardly be tided over by the exertions of men born four huundred years too late, and who spend the time and wind which belong to their own country in blowing yp the Ame! e Mr. Edwaed Cooper, the Tennessee Copper- vho forms the minority of the Committee yaised by the House to investizate the mur- der of three Union soldiers at Brown’s Ferty, South Cavolina, reports that there is no doubt of the murder, nor that it was willful and icions; but Lie is not fully satisfied that the dhels who Wi d \‘n'f the crime the military anthori- tricd, con 113 H3 8ecuted, whether upor 6 yGtily she finding Is immaterial, as of the sentence does not depend in the slighteat degres wpon the weight of testimony, but upon the Jeyality of the tribunal before which they were arraigned W try thew and to dnflict such puiishment.” n this poinf, the people who voted and | fonght against the Rebellion do not agree with Mr. Cooper.

BREAD FOR THE STARVING. The Southern Famine Reliof Commission, of which James M. Brown, No. 61 Wallst., is the Treasurer, have taken unwearied pains to ascertain what is the extent and severity of the destitution in the South. and the most equitable and safest methods of dis~ tributing supplies. The result of their inquiriea, with respect to the destitution, is that thero are at least 500,000 peoplo in Alabama, Georgia, South and North Carol so much in need of provisions that many of them must perish unless relief be givenm them from the North. But this is not all. Another class of sufferers are the planters and farmers, who, while not now wholly destitute of food, will not be able to provide the sced and labor for another barvest without Northern Lelp. So great are the necessities of the four States named in both these respeets, that 500,000 bushels of corn would not more than meet the imperative wante of the people, over and above all that they can’ provide for themselves, The Commission are anxious to do all in their power toward supplying this great lack; and after prolonged consultation with Major-Gen, Howard, and others believed to be most competent to give advice, the distributions of the Commission will be made lhrg\m_ltl (ye joint agency of the United States Dis- tilet Commanders ana 50 Governors of the difforenk States, unless it be in sonie cases where it would seem more advisable to employ special agencies of distri- bution in given localities. The Commission have re- ceived letters from all the District Commandess and Governors of the States where destitution prevails, and its plans will receive the most faithful codpera~ tion of them all. With as perfect a plan for thorough distribution as. perhaps can now be devised, and with the aid of & Government ship to carry supplies free of charge, nothing is now needed to give bread and sced to the suffering people of the South but a large-hearted benevolence on the part of the North. “The object is preéminently worthy of such benevolence, and we are glad to know that the daily receipts of the Treas- urer are rapidly increasing. s VIRGINIA, AN IN NORFOLK—NEGRO TESTIMONY EXCLUDED, BY TELKGRAPH TO THR TRIBUNE.
