NETWORK LEGISLATURE.

From Our Own Reporter.
SENATE. ALBANY, Jan. Is, 1853.
VERY SLIM ATTENDANCE.
Although the hour for the meeting of the Senate
was fixed at | o'clock D. M, there were but eighteen
Senators in their places at that hour and the number
was not increased up to O'Clock, when a motion to
adjourn until tomorrow morning prevailed
THE NEw-YoRK CENTRAL PARK.
Mr.. DOHERTY gave notice of his intention to in
troduce bill to repeal sections 2 3, a. IA and ID, and
TO amend act entitled An act for the regulation
and government of the Central Park of the City of
" NewYork,' and to change the boundary of said
Central Park.
The object of this bill is to reduce the number of
Commissioners appointed under that act There are
now eleven Commissioners, three Of whom constitute
quorum, and it is asserted here that Of the entire
number only one Mr.. Hogg) acts. second object
is TO dyest the Commissioners OF the absolute power
they enjoy in the government Of the affairs OF the
Park. To this end il will provide for their appoint
ment by the Mayor and Common Council, or some
other city authority, and also that the laws for its
regulation and government shall emanste from the
Common Council The third object is to authorize
the purchase of the bluff that stands just without the
boundary of the Park, near the Convent, and COM
mands view of the entire ground: 1t is claimed
that the grounds composing the bluff can be bought
cheap say $500 per acre, and that with 1t the Park
will be immeasuraly more attractive.
POLICE JUSTICES AND THEIR CLERKS.
Mr.. DOHERTY also gave notice of a bill to author
ize and empower the Police Justices of the City and
County of New.YOrk to employ necessary clerical as
sstanCe in their respective Courts The Common
Council now appoints clerks for these Courts and the
argument used in favor of the passage of such bill
the above title indicates is that under the present
law clerks frequently appointed without reference
to their fitness for the posts and that while the Justices
are held to strict accountability for the omissions and
commissions OF these clerks, they have no voice IN
theH selection. The friends of the say, either
give ire justices the appointment of the clerks who
are 10 ACT under them, else relieve them OF respon-
! sibihty for their acts.

call it redoeDt of mammaa and saw-dust, vocal with
brass music and whip snappings. Like an orderly
manager the other day he made his accustomed visit
to the stage to that all tidy that the promptor
had turned off the Gas, and that everything was
right for the day of rest. Planting his abbreviated
but substantial corpus in the midst of the stage,
he rolled his spectacles around, monarch of
all he surveyed, and was just about to pro-
nounce it all right when from the center fiat

huge rhinocerous and presented his horn for the man.

BURroNs THTArER.-Last night the comedy Of

with distribution of characters seldom equaled. We
pass by, not unworthy of special mention, but be-
cause the majority Of them lave been criticised al
length before the very excellent presentations OF
Messrs Burton Setchell and Fisher who represented
L" Sir Toby Belch - " Fabian, and Malvolio." Mr..
Charles Mathews, who acted " Sir Andrew Aguecheek"
fulfilled the expectations of his audience. There Is no
reason why Mr.. Mathews who is yersed. Ct course, in
all stage requirements, should not play any Shake
spearian part well. He is too shrewda man OF the
world TO undertake anything he cannot do well, and he
is too excellent an artist to act any character badly.
His 4" Sir Andrew is excellent personaten, judged
by the accepted traditions of the stage and time more

want of horses and mules TO transport supplies and

prints the condition of affairs in Utah; that the Nor
