Fl. Watworth and VIM. c. Beock, as Commissioners,
at salary Of five dollars per diem each with travel
hing expenses to establish the water dine of the East
river in this city and Kings county. The bill for the
consolidation Of Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Bush
wick, was favorably reported and will pass. Quite
an animated though brief debate took place between
Mcssrs Babcock, Cooley and Others, with regard to
the Niagara Ship Canal bill. The objections of the
first named gentleman to the schemes alleged by
him to have been resored to by the projectors of this
work it is hoped will be speedily eradicsted for the
interests of not only our own but various of the
Western States demand the early construction of the
canal The Senate spent most of the day in the con-
sideration Of the Appropriation bills.
Little was done in the Assembly besides reading
and passing bills. The Judiciary Committee re-
ported that the Legislature had right to under
take the impeachment Of officers whose terms have
expired or of present incumbents whose alleged
abuses occurred prior to their present term. The
specifications of the Champlin Committee against
Mr.. Mather it is expected will come up for discus
sion to-day. The debate upon the subject will pro-
baby last till after the Fourth of July.
Notwithstanding the various impeachment move
ments of the Assembly hopes are entertained that
the Legislature will actually adjourn in the course of
aweek or two resolution was last Tuesday adopted
by the Senateto adjourn Friday thus proving that
degree of thought for the interests of the peo
pie exists in that body at least Now although they
are that there is reported deficit in the State
treasury of about one million of dollars, and that
such being the case, their per diem allowance
must be drawn by taxing the pockets of
their constituents it is doubtful whether the Assem-
bymen will be willing to retire to the shades of private
life SO soon es fixed upon by the Senate-never
theless, it is gratifying to observe that the New
York delegates have moved for an early adjourn
ment tomorrow week and it is sincerely hoped that
they may succeed in thus carrying out the desires of
those who elected them. The extra session has al
ready been elongated to treble the length for which
there was any necessity. The principal object for
which it was called, the settlement Of the Canal
question, has been accomplished. All has now been
done that is probably intended with regard to the
Nather and other impeachment cases, except SO
far as talk is concerned and the Appropria-
ton, New York Park, and Railroad Accident
bills, the only matters of real and immediate impor-
lance, can be disposed of in two days if our le-
gislators are so inclined. No substantial reason
can be adduced why an adjournment should no. take
place on tomorrow, proposed by the Senate. Then
why procrastinate-why viii any member lend him
self to keep up the do-nohng system of legislation
for the paltry sum of three dollars day?
In order that readers may fully understand the
various propositions now pending in the Legislature
for new park in this city, We to-day publish the
bills introduced by Mr. Morgan in the Senate and
Mr.. Noble in the Assembly The former is approved
by Mr. Cooley.

The steamship Georgia, from Aspinwall, via Ha-
vana, arrived yesterday morning, with two mil
lions one hundred and forty-one thousand dolr9rs
from California. The letters from our Panama and
Havana correspondents, together with the South
American news brought by this steamer, will be
found very interesting.
Our Buenos Ayrean intelligence brought by the
ship Margaret Eliza, Captain Adams, and published
in this paper is Of very late date 1t will be found
of very interesting character both regards the
social position and political prospects of that portion
of South America The blockade of Buenos Ayres
was still continued the sittings of the peace negoti
ating commissioners had been interrupted and pro-
visions were enormously dear. The report Of a IA.
val engagement in the neighborhood Of Martin Gar
cia il affirmed. Commander Peteuga, of the ship
Chacubuca, had been killed in it. From Montevideo
we are informed of revolt in the province of Entire
Rios and it was reported that General Don Crispin
valasquez had been defeated by the insurgents.
Some Of the journals contain most bitter articles upon
the personal character and Intentions Of General Ur
quiza. Mr.. King, a passenger by the Margaret
Eliza has furnished us with letter containing a
clear synopsis Of the proceedings at Buenos Ayres,
which we also publish.
Late accounts from British Guiana state that
battle was recently fought between two tribes Of IN

are being made at Georgetown to induce immigra-
ton. The bounty to emigrants has been advanced
to thirty dollars; and as further inducement, a
company has been formed with the intention q
building line Of steamers TO ply between that place.
