A scene In the New York House of
Assembly.

A Scene In the New York House of
Assembly.
The Albany correspondence the New
York Herald gives the following descrip-
ton of scene which occurred in that
body when Winans, Republican mem
Der from Chautauqua county, united it
by stating that he should hereafter vote
with the Democrats on party questions,
thus giving them constitutional ma
jority. We quote:
Fields moved the previous question,
and when it came Winans turn to vote,
he rose and said that his name had been
used in connection with the Republican
caucus resolution without his authority
He further said he acknowledged that
the Democracy here was entitled to a
constitutional majority, and he would
vote hereafter with them every time.
1t would be impossible to describe the
excitement that followed. The crowds
in the galleries, the lobbies and on the
floor of the House Joined with the Dem
ocratic members in round of applause
that lasted several seconds, and which
was again and again renewed after
Winans had resumed his seat. The Re-
publicans looked chapfallen and said
nothing. The motion to 60 into Com
mittee Of the Whole on the next tax levy
requiring two-third vote, it did not
reach that stage. When Goodrich's
name was called in the yeas aud nays on
the question, he rose and asked to be
excused from voting. Taking advan-
tage OF the privilege, he turned toward
Winans, and steadily looking him in the
eye, exclaimed:
"When / remember that the United
States, in their struggle for independ-
ence, found Benedict Arnold"
Here he was greeted with such per-
feet storm of Kisses he had to stop, and
the Speaker ruled him out Of order
When quiet had,been partially restored
he resumed:
was about to say that the reason
why desire to be excused from voting
is that i don't desire 70 be associated
with person
Here he was again interrupted by the
Democrats on the floor and the people in
the galleries, who hooted and Kissed so
persistently that the Speaker had as
much as he could do to quell the tumult.
Goodrich then voted no, and sat down.

ILLUMINATED BIRDS NEsr.-ThC
habits of birds often suggest the idea
that they must be in possession OF
reasoning powers in addition to their
instincts. DR.. Buchanan, in a letter
to the Rev. Mr.. Brown Of Calcutta,
in 1850, says:
write this at the bottom of the
lofty mountain called Cape Comorin,
where its rocky bead seems to over.
hang its base. Tue birds which
build the pendulous nests are very
numerous. At night each of their
little habitations are lighted up as if
TO see company. The sagacious bird
fastens a bit Of clay TO the top OF the
nest, aud then picks up FREELY and
sticks it upon the clay, to illuminate
the dwelling, which consists of two
rooms. Sometimes there are two or
three flies, and the blaze of hight in
tie little cell dazzles the bat. which
often kills the young Of these birds
