A calm and well-adiusted Uoa in this Chamber, carefully dev i moderation, and efficiency, unsurpassed by any former or present ited system of ac- de vised and steam ly pursued by those who have preceded us in it. has indeed largely contributed to the undoubted success of our ereft political experiment.

And thus, gentlemen, while aiming, frankly and impartially, to exercise the functions of an unac customed station in the spirit of the Constitution, for the enlarged and lasting purposes of a revered country, and with sincere will towards all, I may cherish the encouraging hope of being able. with the assent of an indulgent Providence, at once to perforin my da!y and to attract your con fidence. y , . . v" New Voar, February 25, 131& Another remarkable report from the Commis sioners of our Almshouse was' laid before the Board of Aldermen Inst evening. It was in reply to a resolution of inquiry offered a week or twu since by one of the Loco Foco members of the Board, Air. Hasbrouck ; but . the facts contained in it appeared to be extremely unpalatable toth.it gentleman. They showed, by abundant erideuce. that on the night previous to the last spring elec tion three Locofoco officers of the prison at Black, well's Island, with seven or eight convicts under their charge, left I he Island; that the convicts were dressed in citizens' clothes, and suffered to go to a tavern and drink liquor. They slept in the city that night, and voted the next day. at the poll on the corner of Mercer and Spring streets : after which they went round to the different polls and electioneered in behalf of the Loeofocos. One of them was arrested for attempting to 'vote a second time. 'The keeper of Black well's Island went to the prison and claimed bini as a runaway convict. . . K, These disgraceful facts will of course Le de. nied by the party which has long been notorious for similar abuses, but they are supiorted by' an amount of testimony which no court of justice could reject or invalidate. In the Board of Alder, men the report was received with a erreat show of indignation by the Loeofocos. All that tbev could say in confutation of the daraninr facts ad duced, was, that toe Almshouse Uommissiouers had been tampering with the witnesses, and that the report waa an electioneering document. But the commissioners are men oCbigh standing and unimpeachable character, aWsILthcir statements can be fully substantiated. It was pointedly re. marked, in reply to the charge that the witnesses were unworthy of credit, that it was strange that gentlemen who coold receive so eagerly the oaths and votes of paupers and criminals at the pod. should now refuse to receive the testimony of me same eiaas, ana denounce them as villains and false witnesses. Strange as it mav seem, shnse tit thesa winked at, and will probably be again, by the party which manages to get the power in this city nine limes out or ten. v JV. Y. correspondent Aof. lid.
