The Ladies cannot receive too much praise on this occasion, for the readiness with which they attended the first assembly; notwithstanding a false idea of fashion , that was some time ago (but now entirely abolished) followed up in our metropolis, the ladies were uncommonly numerous, and have made amends to the managers, &c. for all the trouble and expence incurred chiefly for their amusement.

On motion of Mr. G. Livingston, it was resolved that the House every morning open business with prayer, and that the clergymen in Albany be requested to perform this duty in rotation.
SATURDAY, December 13.
Read the papers accompanying the governor's speech;—the said speech and papers were then committed to a committee of the whole. Mr. Jones handed in a certificate from the committee appointed to canvass the votes for senators, by which it appeared that there was great irregularities in the returns of the votes; the officers in many of the districts having neglected their duty. A certificate from the commissioners appointed to sign the new money was read, by which it appears that on the 12th of November last 179,000.10s. of the new money had been exchanged for the old; and that upwards of 7000. interest money had been destroyed agreeable to law. Read a second time and committed. The bill for the more speedy recovery of legacies; The bill to prevent the destruction of sheep by dogs; The bill to regulate Brooklyn ferry; and
Read a petition from Thomas Greenleaf, praying to be appointed state printer;—referred to Messrs. J. Van Renellaer, Hoffman, and Adgate. Read a petition from Mrs. Hinchman of Jamaica, on Long-Island, respecting certain monies in the hands of her late husband, the property of the church in that town;—referred to Messrs. B. Livingston, Carman, and Younglove.
Several petitions for naturalization were read; on which Messrs. P. Livingston, Hardenbergh, and Seaman were appointed a committee to prepare a naturalization bill, to whom the said petitions were committed. On motion of Mr. Jones, the House came to a resolution to appoint three delegates to represent this state in the Congress of the United States, until the new constitution should be put into operation; and that the senate and assembly would, on Tuesday the 16th, ballot for the same. This proposition was then sent to the senate for concurrence. [The senate on the same day rejected the resolution on account of the number to be chosen, insisting on five.]
Read a petition of William Craft, of Bedford in Westchester county, praying further time to bring in a claim on a forfeited estate. The propriety of committing this petition was disputed by Mr. Jones, who wished it to be laid on the table: Mr. Bay, Mr. B. Livingston, Mr. P. Livingston, Mr. Seaman, and Mr. Adgate, supported a motion for committing it, which was agreed to:—it was then referred to Messrs. Havens, Low, and Rockwell.
Mr. Jones, having previously obtained leave, brought in a FEES BILL , which being read the first time, was ordered a second reading. Mr. Jones then moved for leave and brought in a bill to put into operation, on the part of this state, the new constitution; which being read a first time, was ordered a second reading. In this bill it is proposed to choose the electors and senators in the same mode as the members of the present Congress are now chosen—and that the representatives be chosen by districts— Long-Island and Staten Island to be one district; New-York and Westchester one district; Orange and Ulster one district; Dutchess one district; and the remainder of the state to have the other two members.
Read a petition of the judges and supervisors of Albany county, respecting certain losses sustained in the loan-office;—referred to the members from Albany and Columbia counties. Read a petition from the supervisors of Albany county, praying further time to collect certain arrears of taxes;—referred to Messrs. Watts, Smith, and Frey.
Went into a committee on the governor's speech; Mr. Low in the chair. After reading a few papers, the committee rose and asked for leave to sit again. Adjourned till Monday. (To be continued.)
From the HERALD OF FREEDOM.
Mr. Joseph Simpson, of New-Castle, has, for several years past, failed in Messrs. Jacob and James Shear's employ, of Fortmout. About three years ago, Mr. Simpson bought a small dog, and taught him to sit upon his hind legs, smoke a pipe, and some other tricks. He made a small harness for him, and carried him to sea constantly, for seven or eight voyages. Last spring, Mr. Simpson, on his return from France, was washed overboard, with one of his hands, the ninth of May last, a few leagues to the eastward of the Grand Bank. After the loss of his master, the dog ran fore and aft, would look over the side, and cry in a most surprising manner. A week or two afterwards, the ship arrived, and the dog was carried home to Capt. Simpson's, his master's father, and made very much of. They never ate a meal, but he always had a piece of the best; and constantly attended at table.—Though there was a vast number of square-rigged vessels went up and down the river he took no notice of any of them. Between two or three months afterwards, the ship was sold to Mr. E. Haiker Derby, of Salem, and very much altered, having been newly painted and quarter galleries put to her; but the moment she hove in sight, coming down the river, the dog happened to be out, and knew her. He instantly ran down to the shore, howled and cried, and seemed to be in the greatest distress imaginable to get on board her; and continued so till the vessel was out of sight. Capt. Simpson afterwards called him to dinner: he would put his head inside the door, but would not come in, nor eat one mouthful of anything. In three days after, he lost his senses, and would run round in the circumference of two or three yards for an hour together; and if he struck his head against anything, he would make a most surprising noise. By forcing victuals down his throat, and pouring milk down, they saved him alive three weeks; but he would never eat or drink anything, of his own accord, after the vessel failed.
SINGULAR ANECDOTE, From the Manuscript of the late Rev. Mr. Gouge, of Shrewsbury (G. B.)
ONE Thomas Elkes, of this neighbourhood (Middle, in Shropshire) being guardian to his eldest brother's child, who was young, and flood in his way to a considerable estate, hired a poor boy, to entice him into a corn-field to gather flowers, and meeting them, sent the poor boy home, took his nephew in his arms, and carried him to a pond the other end of the field, into which he put the child, and there left him. The child being missed, and enquiry being made after him, Elkes fled, and took the road to London; the neighbours sent two horsemen in pursuit of him, who passing along the road near South-Mims in Hertfordshire, saw two ravens sitting on a cock of hay, making an unusual noise, and pulling the hay about with their beaks, on which they went to the place, and found Elkes asleep under the hay. He confessed that these two ravens had followed him from the time he did the fact. He was brought to Shrewsbury, tried, condemned, and hung in chains on Knockinheath.

COAL TAR. A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes , No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company. THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf. That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York,
For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE.
THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of their fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office prevents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general, who will do well to consider that if they neglect partaking of them till an accident happens, the barefaced impropriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility.
The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a sensible diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance. FIRST RATE.
THAT for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party-walls carried twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3/ deposit, 12/ total, 15/
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4/ deposit, 16/ total, 20/
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5/ deposit, 11/ total, 16/
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6/ deposit, 11/ total, 17/
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed house, and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7/ deposit, 11/ total, 18/
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8/ deposit, 11/ total, 19/
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10/ deposit, 21/ total, 31/
The expence therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows: Premium on £. 500 at 7/ per cent. £. 1 15 0 Deposit, at 28/ per cent. 7 0 0 Policy and badge, 0 10 0 £. 9 5 0
If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expences of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0 £. 2 5 0
Which shews the expence of insuring £. 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing said sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, still-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or businesses following are carried on, viz. chymists, ship chandlers, tallow chandlers, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or coal-men; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD , Secretary. No. 57, King-street. December 2, 1788.
