den and their share.
Every M mber of our State Senate was in stten-
dance yesterday morning. The prohlbtory liquor
bin was amended so as to go into operation on the
first of December instead of August, and the mea-
sure then passed. by twentyone yeas against eleven
NAYS. Some idea of the opposition to this measure
is afforded in the fact that remonstrance was sent
to the Senate yesterday containing the signatures Of
ten thousand citizens of New York; but despite all
circumstances it is believed that the Assembly will
pass the bill by large majority. Twothrds Of the
time allotted for the length of session has already
expired, and the Legislature and lobbymen are
working accordingly, will be seen by the letters
from our correspondent.
The lower branch of the New Jersey Legislature
yesterday ordered to third reading bill to termi-
nate the monopoly OF the Camden and Amboy Rail-
road Company in fifteen years, and to compel them
to reduce all fares to twoanda-half cents per me.
The Senate of Massachusetts, ordered the engross-
ment of the bill to aid in the construction Of the
Hoosac tunnel. The House rejected the bill to re-
peal the Maine Liquor law, by eighty yeas to one
hundred and egity-three nays 1t is thought that
the Maine act now in force will be modified by an
amendment providing for stringent license system
The bark Orline 81. John, reported yesterday ~
telegraph as abandoned, fallen in with LIST inst
lat 81 As lon. 67 80. In addition r. the deaths be-
fore mentioned the second officer name not rs port
ed went into the cabin, where h. was druprv cd in
the night. The survivors, it will be reccllected

We would direct atten ticx to the very able OPT
Mon of Judge Herman, In the Sixth End Eighth
Avenue Railroad injunction case, publEhed in an
other column 1t will be remembered that this case
came before the-court on an applicasi ion to amend
the complaint; as well as to extend the Injunction
His honor intinated at the argument which was
fully reported in the HERALD, that the question on
the amendment must be disposed OF first. Counsel
therefore confined themselves to fls point for the
present. Several amendments were sought, but the
most important was that by which it was proposed
to set forth at length in the complaint the reso-
lutions of the Common Council passed in 1851, au-
talorizing the Sixth and Eighth Avenue Railroad
companies to lay down tracks on certain streets.
The Judge has adopted the view taken by the plain
tits counsel, and has held that these resolutions
did not contradict the fact contained in the original
complaint nor did they alter the grounds on which
the injunction was allowed and that, therefore, the
amendment should be granted.
The details Of the latest European market reports
brought by the Asia, and published under the tele-
graphic head, do not vary from the synopsis fur
nished yesterday. We have no additional inte
gence relative to the war movements On reference
to our financial and commercial columns, it will be
seen that the news had considerable influence on
inanciers and dealers generally There was quite
fuctuation in stocks Breadstuffs were less active,
as merchants were disposed to await the receipt of
private letters by the ASIA Flour was again easier,
with sales of common State brands at IS, showing
decline on the Asias news Of about l2a cents per
barrel. Corn sold at decline Of cents to cents
per bushel. No transactions in wheat indicating a
market took place. The cotton market was quiet,
with moderate sales
Another large fire occurred in this city yesterday
Upwards Of sixty thousand dollars worth of pro-
perty was destroyed, as will be seen by the report
Important Movements In Tammany Hall
Nebraska Among the Democracy.
During the last few weeks there have been
some curious movements among the conflicting
democracy of Tammany Hall. They have had
some strange votes on the Nebraska question,
and some very singular and unique incidents
have turned up-some in the Democratic Gene
raj Committee, some in the Council of Sachems,
and some in the Tammany Society, each of
which is branch of the general Tammany or
ganization Arouse democrats arouse!
The (sofD democratic party of Old Tammany,
through thick and thin, in consideration of the
spoils, and the great issue at stake, are deter
mined to have grand popular meeting in Tam
many Hall on the 18th inst, in lehalf of the
Nebraska bill, the constitution, Douglas, and
the administration. And it is expected that
Douglas, the little giant" himself, large as
life, and Senator Weller Col. Richardson of the
House, and other distinguished friends of the
bill in Congress, will be present to address the
assembled democracy on that portentous occa-
sion Here is the official vote and programme
