state asyums were, of course overcrowded. but the
bill provided for enlarging the State asylums.

Albany, March co-Mr. McCarren's bill for new
bridge across the East River, between Grand-st and

this morning from the Committee on Commerce and
Navigation. Mr.. McCarren moved to disagree with
the report and refer it TO the Committee of the
Whole.

holds that the development of Brooklyn means any
thing else than the commercial and financial success
of New-York The bill is opposed because 1t re-
quires the expense of the bridge be borne equally
by the two cities. But do not believe that the
New-York Senators who oppose ii on that ground
represent the wishes Of their constituents. think
the people at large are decidedly in favor
of it. few property holders regard 1t
askance but what public Improvement Is
not so regarded by property holders When the
present Bridge begun, there were croakers IN

Mr.. O'Connor spoke to the same effect. Mr. Ahcarn
