The Assembly to-day had up the bill to in
crease the legal rates Of Advertising 1t debated
at considerable length and recommitted to the Judi
ciary Committee The bill to amend the Excise law

SENATE DoINGs.
In the Senate the bill 10 secure the navigation Of the
Oneida Lake Canal. now filed up and not used, was
passed Provides for opening the navigation of this
canal by rebuilding and charging the locks and prism,
or the CO missioners may remove the location Of the
canal and build new one under the act
bill 10 amend an act entitled An Act 10 Create in
the City Of New York the Department Of Public Chair
ties &C.. also passed. Ii increases the pay OF the
Commissioners of Charities from $1,000 TO S5OOO.
Though it voted for by all the Senators from New
Ork and Brooklyn II is my Impression that the House
ought 10 defeat II.
The bill recurring two.third vote of Supervisors TO
eQu8ize taxation also went through the Senate. Its
provisions apply TO the counties OF Suffolk Queens,
Richmond. Clinton Jefferson, Lewis, Sullivan and
Steubcn.
The bl.l 10 amesd an Act entitled AN Act in rela.
ton TO frauds IN the assessments for local improve
ments IN the city OF New York passed Aprll ~ ls3s
went through the Committee of the Whole. The gist
Of n is IN this section;
SIC 2 The commissioner. originally appointed for open
ing the street or avenue or Of the death absence
incoupeency of either them. then such other persons
the court may apo nj their place shall have power
auds sud premises TO which such assessment

chargeabe and laying reporting and confirming such ress
the ike proceedings be taken a. required Tor

ton and such sls be len the lands Tess
until paid or otherwise discharged
The Senate did another good thing today in voting
down proposition TO PRINT large number OF copies
Of the Flag Presentation book. whereby some $1,000
OF eiJ, 900 are saved.
THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY.
The people of Newly ORR will probably yet be enabled
TO get M and down town in comfortable and rapid
manner Tho Legislature, think. Is inclined 10 adopt
some feasible plan an Underground airohd rem the
Battery 10 the upper end OF the Island
The report OF Engineer Crave of the Croton Depart
ment was averse 10 the project which before the
Legislature lest winter and would have become law
but for the objections Of Gov fenton. The principal
parties in that bill having given 10 be understood that
thew had abandoned their project Coils Nandenburgn
end Van Buren, prepared plan embracing many new
and valuable features and which Is decided by man!
competent engineers to be entirely feasible. Indced
Mr.. Craven himself $50 am informed), has frequently
admitted that such road could be built without caus-
ing the great disturbances be refers TO IN his report
The old bill however Is here and repiesenied
hv John Thompson esq. Of Poughkeepsie which con
fains the names OF several good men, The probability
IT, either that the bill Of NGndenburgh and Van Buren,
will be reported OF o bill made up Of compromise
Of the three containing the best names and the best
features OF al
UNION CAUCUS.
The Union Caucus last night voted 20 adopt the reso-
luions reported by the Senate Select Committee on
Federal Relations which submitted yesterday IN
stead OF those offered by Judge Tremain some days
since The difference between the two sets Is not very
material and yet | cannot help thinking preference
has been given TO the best resolutions.
