Movements ON the Death OF General Jackson
The DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC YOUNG MEMS Com
MrrrEE, met last evening at Tammany Hall to con-
slder the necessary arrangements tor the celebration
| OF the obsequies Of General Jackson, on Tuesday
next full attendance of all the representatives OF
the various wards Of the city, showed the deep feel
ing ofthe members of this Association on the SUBJ
Iject. A committee of five was appointed, and sci
OF resolutions prepared by them to act IN concert
with any action the Common Council may take IN
commemorating his decease also, that the men,
bers Of the Association should wear Grape on the
| arm for thirty days.
The Polk WRIGHT ASSOCIATION are also to hold
a meeting this evening at Wrghts House, 81
Nassau street, to prepare to join the procession.
TRAVELLING THIS SEASON The fact is not little
surprising that the number of arrivals at the hotels is
smaller than for years past And yet this is the ira
yelling season-the railroads and steamboats, are
crowded-and nobody complains Of "hard times. "
This refers to the Astor House and the other first
class hotels 1t also appears that this class Of hotels
is not SO prosperous as formerly. We perceive that
the St. Georges Hotel was sold out the other day,
and the Park Place House-a very fine residence
sold yesterday. What is the cause of this
revolution! Where do the crowds Of travellers
go The only explanation find is that afford
ed in the great increase of quiet, genteel boarding
houses, where travellers can enjoy and amuse them
selves much better than at the large hotels, where
great annoyance is often experienced from the con-
tinual hustle and tumut, and the crowds of black
legs roues, and impudent scamps Of all descriptions,
that congregate about their entrance, throng their
obbies and sit beside you at the dinner table, This
probably explains the strange fact Of the few arrivals
at the large hotels
BOARD OF EDUCATION Board met last eve-
ming, and, after dcsultory debate on the subject Of
the qualification of Mr.. Engs, of the l4th Ward,
(who, it was contended, was nonresident of his
Ward and therefore was disqualified from serving,)
they disposed of the question, and decided that Mr.
Engs was not entitled to his seat in the Board
protest was entered on the minutes. The Board
then proceeded to elect President, when after TAX
ing seven ballots, they elected Mr.. Johnson, (natve)
President. This has been the result Of a coalition
between the whigs'' and "natives.''
Work FOR THE New PoLicE.-lt is to be hoped
that the new police will begin its operations with the
omnibus drivers in Broadway. That street has be-
come complete race course, where hundred trials
of speed, between the omnibuses, daily take place
Females are frightened, and many have given up
riding in these vehicles because If the fear of losing
their lives 1t lis wonder that so few children have
been killed; we are in daily expectation, however,
Of hearing Of some frightfu accident, such us, we
suppose, will draw the attention of the proper autho
rites to the subject.
LATER FROM VENEzUELA.-We are in receipt Of
Caracas and Laguayra papers up to the 18th ult.
The treaty between the Republic of Venezuela and
Spain, by which the independence of thesformer is
recognised, is published at length. Thus Spain is
consenting to lose her nominal possessions.
Coffee from 81 $40 per quintal Hides $6 so a
So IS per dozen.
BEAUTIFUL RosE.-Yesterday we saw fine spe-
cimen of the moss rose, gathered from the garden
of Mr.. Smith, Adams street, Brooklyn. Its perfume
was sufficient to scent a large room.
