From our Special Correspondent.
ALBANY, Feb. Esquire Sweonv has at last
very kindly consented to end the curiosity Of the
public with respect to the New Charter, drafted by
Ollall. The Squire has made up his mind to pre-
sent the little joker to the Legislature this week, on
Thursday morning at the very latest. As previously
that ingenious political Jack Crow, Abraham
stated the "Jokcr has undergone many alterations
II having been deemed unwise and impracticable to
offer it in its original shape. The Charter will np-
pear to the unihitatod a very plausible and liberal
document But there Is an understanding between
Mr. Swesny and his janisaries In both Houses that
IL shall not pass MS introduced. The Ring have re-
served
ONE or ruEiR suARPEsr TRICKS
for the occasion Of the Charters appearance. and the
dettc'o and exposure OF tie proposed trick will
cause them hire surprise and chagrin. The prin-
cipa features OF the Charter have been explained 10
me by person who has obtained bis Information
from credible sources. The Ring proposes to abol-
ish the Commissions, but how BY substituting
NINE BUREAUS,
such MS the Bureau OF Health OF Excise OF Police,
of Fire Department, OF Wharves and Piers, Of
Health of Charities and Correction, Of Finance, &C.
The executive heads Of these bureaus, the Charter
declares, shall b. appointed by the Mayor and Com
mon Council The powers, duties, and mipuiiW are
defined ut great lngth. This mode Of supcrseding
the Commissions is calculated to overjoy the hosts
Of ambitious politicians who, one and oil. so anx.
iou.y covet the places now filled by the present
Commi-s oncrs and their fronls. The Ring Jour.
nails are likewise to be instructed To set up halle
