Observation-Disclosures l9.-The day was
mostly passed by the Senate in discussing
the Metropolitan Police bill, which was
finally passed by vote of seventeen to
eleven. The most important business in
the House was its concurrence in the Senate
bill, providing for new division of the
State into five Congressional Districts. The
House refused to concur in the Senate
amendment to the joint resolution guaran-
teeing free speech by a vote of fefty-feuf to
fourteen.
August 19.-Mr. Bacon, of the Senate,
under suspension of the rules, presented a
LIN III &c
of Congress and Presidential electors, to
take place every four years, on the first
Tuesday in November, which was read
twice and referred to the Committee on Jul
dietary. In the House the Registration bill
passed by vote of five to fifteen.
August 20.-The Senate received a COM
munication from the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen protesting against the passage of
the Metropolitan Police bill,' which was
laid on the table, subject to call. In the
House the same document was received,
but not acted on. Nothing of general in
terest was done in either branch.
THE ClrY.-During the week nothing
particularly calling for comment has tran
spired. Dullness in business has given OPP
portunity for activity in other respects
especially as it regards politics-hence pro-
cessions, meetings, speeches, and serenadcs
have been the order of the day--or rather
of the night. 1t is gratifying to observe
that although considerable excitement and
enthusiasm exists, the best feeling prevails
among all parties, which it is hoped will
continue throughout the canvass.
SWEARING IN HEBREw.-The ungentle-
manly habit of using profane language is
now so constant, that people are shocked on
every hand by hearing its utterancc almost
from the mouths of infants. The lady in
