M*f phy'n Hill lor n Hrldire, Over- the Kant Bhrrr - Nocirr ol a Bill for n Tunnel Between Now York and llrooklr?-Increased I'ny for (be New York Klrr llrparlmrut? Proposed Auiuniluicil lu I lie Urglnri l.uw-.Uoro I'tty Hailrnuda, Ar. AtBAPY, Jan. 26, .587 Roth bouses held prolonged sigsu'tis this morning. in lbs Senate the ntoaii important matters consuls rod aero Ike esse of Ju<U? Suntn ind tee bill for a bride* ovw the Ka.-l river, the particulars respecting which were pub Bshi-d exclusively in the Hi.ium some woks ago. The ease of Judge -uiith has occasioned scarcely any interest hero, and, them ore, very little concern is eitiibited rem live to the result. Among the interesting subjects Ibst tamed up in th* Aanombly was Mr. PeuOold's notice of a bill for the con struction of a submarine tunnel between New York and Brooklyn. The plan proposed by Mr Penfield is not y*$ developed, but be iutends to have the tunnel much on the same principle as thai in thn rtvsr Thames, and of sufficient width to enable railroad cars to pass through it readily. Tbe termini of the tunnel are to fee located about the Toot of Catharine street. New York, and some** here between Fulton and Brand streets, Brooklyn. The lager beer question, it appears, ia not yet Bottled, tor Mr O. Murphy gave notice this morning of so amendment to tbo Excise law exempting lager beer from Me operations A powerful effort ia to be made by the Merman element to carry this bill through during tbo present session. A stroug effort is also being made to lacrosse the pay ?T the New York F ire Department. Mr. John V. Grid doy, of New York, introduced a bill tbis morning wblcb provides that, immediately after tu passage and until the resumption of specie payments, tbe salaries of tbe officers end men of the department be as follows ? Chief Engineer, $4,500; Assistant Engineer, $3,000; Bmtrtct Engineer, $2,000; secretary of Board of Com ?tkwloaere, $3,500; Bookkeeper, $2,500 ; First Clerk of Cemmistrtoeera, $2,600; Superintendent of Fire Alarm Holograph, $2,600; Superintendent of Horses, 12.000; MDerk <ff Chief Engtne-r, $1,H00; Assistant Clerk of Chief Engineer. $1,200, Foremen, 21,300; Assistant $1,100; Engineers of steamers, $1,200; gars of Commissioners, $1,200; Supply Keeper, $1,200 Telegraph Operators, $1,500, I.ine Men, $1,200; Battery Men, $N00; Bell Ringers, $1,000; three addi Mawal Clerks and Copyists (nut to exited for ench), $1,500; Privates, $1,000; Drivers, $1,000; Stokers, $1,000, Tillermeo, $1,000. Ibis is an increase at about ffiw ntte of twenty per cent on tbe pre-ent salaries of tbe wAeers aivl men of the department. Tbe privates now pst f SdO.per annum. Tbe difficulties and botberalion occasioned by tbe new registry law, requiring naturalized citizens to produce their oertiHrates before having their names registered, Base become the sub|ect of legislative interposition. The registry law seems to be a favorite object of tinker dag, and in some measure necessarily -hi, for its sections wee generally drawn up ao loosely and ambiguously as to toave even sharp lawyers in doubt as to tiieir true in tent and meaning. Mr. Creamer proposed a new aincnd sneul ibis ruorning by tbe provisions o'' which iu-peciors of election will be obliged to place on (he register of ?oten the names of naturalized citizens who have lost their certificates and are unable after proper search to Mad them Affidavits made in tbe presence of tbe in wgtectors, sotting forth these facts, will have to be made by -applicants, and on tbis provision being complied with the -Inepeciors are peremptorily required to p uc e the naruo s -of Uie applicants on tbe register of votes. At present She right of a naturalized citizen depend- very much on 'Mm caprice of tbo inspectors, who rqject or reooc e eaiMi of parties without certificates iu?t as the wmw ?r Interest of tbe occasion inclines. The result of this -absence of unilormity in tbe system adopted by diiterrnt inspectors was seen last fall, when tbe Snpertor and 'Oooimon Pleas Courts were overrun with people in quest ? of copies of their naturalization papers. For days ' be regular business of those courts w as entirely suspended and the judges Obliged to sit day and night to accum mo tele tbe immense army ef applicants. Mr Cregsn. of New York, introduced a bill to abolish ->gfe? office or Inspector of Weights and Measures, aad to ?master all thair powers and duties to (be l'ottcb Com rekwionare. wbo are authorized to assign any number of yolmomen they may consider necessary to perform all Sb? dunes now to tbe hands of tbe above mentioned tmtpecior*. One of lite provisions of tbe bill is that tbe Rail e Commissioners must cause a thorough inspection 40 be mule at least once a month ol all weights and measures in nil the stores of tbe city. Tbia moasure is Intended to abolisb the evil of light weights anu mea wwins. which hai been much complained ol. Mr. (Jregan, wbo introduced a bill for a new railroad, ffh run through Tenth avenue from Seventieth to Twen ty- third street, through the latter to Filth avenue, through the latter to Sevenieenlh street to avnme '' through Pitt, Deluncey, Broome, East, Cherry, Market and t-outh streets to Oatbartne street lorry, returning along Catharine to Water, East. Cherry, Broome. Delan wsy and Pitt streets to tbe place of beginning. The cor porators mentioned in tbe bill are Charles Sterling, Bebert Barclay, Kzeklel Shatter, liforge W. Morton, W. ? Freeman, C.

Pari*, Jan. 11, 1867. On tbe 31st of December. 1866?and that was only ten day* ago?I sat near midnight at my writing table sort ing old letterx. I wan re sol red to greet the new year with proper ceremony, hoping to create a farorable im pression by tb* neatness of my bondoir. I bad but one drawer more to turn out?full of papor patterns?and I knew it would not take long, for the epnng, autumn and winter styles were all rolled np together; and, as I spread them out, I remembered the fate of the dilforent dresses that had been cut after them. Such memories are ever harrowing in the extreme. The evening bells that are " heard no more" are not half so poetical as this or that ore of a body which Miss So-and-so envied and talked ?f till jealousy gave her the jaundice. I particular ly felt for the., _ muslins that bad been caught in bushes, for the gauze* that ravelled out and ahrunlc up, for the silks that had got alained with French sugar and water refreshments, and as I communed with the departed, 1 gazed at the coal burning brightly, while thoughts of picnios, halls and Jitet rose out of the em bere. In the very midst of it all approaching steps startled me; not a light, elastic tread, but a trotting, shambling shuffle, like that of a very old woman who cannot Ret along with high heels. I arose, lamp in hand, bnt before I had reached the door a stranger stood before me, and that she was really old did not admit of a doubt. She nodded familiarly, aDd sat down tn an arm chair like miue in the opposite fire corner. "I am rorry to call in so idle." *atd;the unceremonious old lady, "but I have had a good deal to do. I am the Fashions ol 1*<K>. and I have oome to wish you good-by.*' A moment before I had been struck by my visitor's haggard look. Sow I felt sorry for her infirmities. Her cheeks-were wrinkled, but what wait worse her skin bore tracue of rouge, blue and white paste; a peplum jacket, bordered with lagged fur, hung without grace in long points down her sides. Sho wore a crinoline very much out oi shape, or rather all shapes, and nothing but a leaf was tied with strings on her head. A* absurd streamed nnder her chignon, which was made of untidy looking curia, on a rural excursion. Grecian bandelets kept a front of upraised bandeau r on her forehead. She was evidently a wreck, though still sporting b er colors. ??Yes, I have come to sav goad-by and to thank you," she went on, "for you have done your duty by me from the day 1 came tripping in the world, just a year ago, in all the delight ot twenty rows of steel round my petticoats. You approved of my first abort walking cos tume; and top boots, and when I took to long robe* you applauded also, 1 have not forgotten that yon con tented yourself with a mischievous joke when I got into rourrcaux. All my oilier biographers fell to preaching when I adopted the chignon, but yo i kept, your moral* for more suitable occasions. I ant much obliged to you for having lei me have my own w?v with bright colored underskirts, butler cup salin empire*, amber wide trains, and thoMi sets of flower* which 1 used to wtud round mv arms, throat and head Altogether, I must say you have endured my fickle ways with patience and forti tude, and ! trust you will apeak well ef me when I am no more." I should hare said something complimentary after this long epoe. h if I had net been alarmed by s sudden change in old Fashion'a countenance. Her checks be came hollow, one or two of her front gneth fell out, hut she took a fan from her pocket, and, a*. If nothing bad happened, actually agitated It, as if she were sluing n her box at the opera. Nothing and nobody can bo so collected as Fashion under trying ??lrrum.'<Uncen "Yob will <-ay that I am not to blame for tho cholera," continued the ugly old wltcb. "nor the war, nor the needle gun*, neither did I meddle with the Pope and Mexico. Tho aquariums nnd fishing 1 have bad a great deal to do with, but Colons! Stodare'a drmpiii wa? no Invention fit mine. The fuss people are milking about the odors of Paris is another thin;: 1 disclaim, my nose has ever been above such degradation, it is no fault of m'ue if Tli? r'-?a should be one of the smells Mr. Veuillot mentions. You will not forgot to describe file. Duval as the cuttlefish or pirurr* in the vie Parisienne: the cut tlefish. ye*, the cuttlefish was all my pride.'' Hero the stranger's voice was very hoarse and her words came with considerable short. " Besides that, I ca n to th* Egyptian plaits and ?kl? chalking, and?" fhls was Fashion s last s|ieecb In 1*W; she fell hack tn her rhair, fan. curls aud all, but when 1 advanced and bent over ber tbe chair stood vacant as before. I should have begun to believe in ghost* if my attention had not lieen called to a fair delicate looking girl, whose white jewel ed hand was suddenly held out from be hind me. I turned quite round. She was actually sit ting with lier feet crossed on mv foot stool. "1 am the New Fashions of 1MI7/' she said In a clear, sweet voh-e. " how do y?i do7" It seemed untrue to answer "very well, tbaak you," frith my heart lieating double knocks in my bosom, so 1 Otirtsled and remaiued silent. ? And what do yea think of my attire'" she asked. Her attire' Yes there It hung all round my room, on the very pegs that had been driven in fur my aketcbea and chalks. "I am g.dng to wear everything yeu are her*, between this and March,'' volunteered th* youthful beauty jumping up Mi* wa* dreaeeri In a brown velvet travelling costume, embroidered down the seam* with black, and under thai a plaited satin petticoat of tbe same shsde. Her brown bonnet, with a flat crow* on the top and a cock's comb and rose* i* front, was tied on behind with loug stream ing end*, while a fall of ia< e rounded under tbe chin from ear to e*r. Another ptak rose clung on th* left aide of tho fscei She had on v#ry long erittsl earrings, called Fisim Is 1. style, on which her Initial* stood out in gold.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH. Istrrestisi Facta About the t'bolera at the .Military Posts I.aet Hammer-The Dlaea*e In Brooklyn. The last instalment of the Registrar'* report on the cholera *pid?mic of last summer was handed Into the Secretary of the Board of Health yesterday. It treats of the working* of cholera and diarrhcr* disease* at th* military posts aud quarters for meruit* on Governor's I Island. Hart's Island, David's Island and other posts in tho harbor of New York. The records furnished to the health officials by Major General J. K. Barnes. Burgeon General United Stales Army, have been so tabulated as to compare with *11 the records of th* Health Board touching upon diarrheal diseases during the epidemic. It appears by these records that there were 181 de cide,! cases of Asiatic cholera In these military quarters; that 78 ol them proved iatal; that there were 1,109 cases or acute diarrhea. 50 of cholora morbus, and 48 of dvsenierv and chrome dinrrhwa; that only seven of the last named disease* proved Iatal. and that the sum total of diarrheal diseases, Including cholera, among all the soldiers and their officer* was 1 44# onlv #5 of whom dN. Thou It appeart that at these posts, where 1.721 men In comfortable military quarters were exposed to the full forre of the epidemic tor the cholera among them waa particularly virulent? le*s than 300 out ?r the whole number escaped diarrheal diseases. This record aUords new and con vincing evidence of the value of that eeaielew vigilance bv medical ?Ulcers which is seldom perfect excepting under mill'ary nutbonty. The reports firom Kurt* Ham i|ion and Lafayette, Fort "Wadswortb, th* new fort at Bandy llook, Madison barracks and Willett'n Point, show that no cholera cases occurred at these posts. Moreover, out of uhoet 32# officers and ui?* on detached duty in Sew York, Wllllamsbnrg and Jersey <ltv. no cases of cholera occurred, though there was much diarrhoea.

The excessive mortality from cholera snd diarrheal dl?e*?e? during the epidemic occurred in thoee loc*litlc* where wretched dwellings, tenanted by tho moil desti tute and degraded of our foreign population, oocupy tracts of land hardly rescued from the tide, or forming, for the greater part of tbe year, continuous swamps. There were 573 deaths from cholera during the months of July, August and September last in Kings county. In the" Twelfth ward alone there were 222 fatal cases. The Deputy Registrar, Dr. Conkllng, says that Die ex cess of mortality among the foreign population Is not due merely to the fact that It abounds In thoee localities where tbe"germs of cholera floortsh most luxuriantly, but also to s susceptibility which constitution* unarc.lt. mat*d and Intolerant of our extrames of temperature, sffar to th* Inroads of pestilence.

Thb Poweer or the ExgrpTrvK Department of tee Government op the United States. By Alfred Conkling. Weare C. Little. Albany. Notwithstanding the startling motto from Burke which Mr. Conkling has placed on the title page of this treatise???Better to be awakened by the alarm bell than to perish In the flames"?his examination of the Im portant problem of the scope and limits of executive power Is in tho main calm and dispassionate. He com presses within one hundred and thirty-nine pages the results of his study of this problem which has now un fortunately bocome complicated with party politics, and consequently obscured in the popular mind by the blind passions of party seal. After briefly discussing Presi dent Johnson's "policy" and the dissent of Congres-, particularly as shown oy the proposed constitutional amendment, the author presents a clear and definite state, ment of the constitutional powers and duties of the Prowl dent of the United States. He shows the perils of "usurpation," and concludes with the indisputable assertion thatlt is high time for a strenuous effort to restore the government, at onee and forever, to its con stitutional equilibrium. ^?.?OOKO* American Pastimes, containing a ? History or the Principal Base Ball, Crickot, Bowing gnd Yachting Clubs of the United States. By Charles A. Peverelly. Published by the Author. New York. Mr. Peverelly, tdho has been engnged in the reporting of Outdoor Sports for several New York journals for more than twenty years, is peculiarly well qualified to wrtte such a book as this comprehensive manual of American pastime*. It is the first of any size ever pub lished devoted to its subject. A work of patient labor, and full of "zeal according to knowledge," it croups together, for the first tlms In tholr history, all of the principal clubs at present organized in the United States. The triumphant result of ths great ooean yacht raee lends especial interest and value to ths pages which the author consecrates to yachting.

By Henry Cleveland. National Publishing Company: Philadelphia, Richmond. Atlanta, St. Louis and ChicAgo. The letters and speeches which fill the larger part of this handsome and bulky volume of eight hundred and thirty-three pages form a contribution of permanent his torical value to American political literature. The bio graphics! account of Mr. Storhens which Is prefixed to them, although full of interesting details, is little more thau what the author himself quite properly calls It, a "long talk on paper." An experienced book maker might have said as much in fewer words. Mr. Cleveland, however, has supplied excellent material for some future and more philosophical Olo graph er of one of the most remarkable men, physically, intellectually aud morally, who have figured oonsptcu oosly in'American history.
