LEGISLATIVE 
In tlio New York Legislature much activity 
lms prevailed, the interest mostly centering 
about the Metropolitan measure* under consid¬ 
eration. Tho Now York City Charter finally 
passed the Senate on the oth Inst,., only two votes 
being cast against it. Vigorous efforts to amend 
it proved futile. The bill was passed as it came 
from the Assembly, and ns soon as engrossed 
was sent to the Governor, and signed. It is, 
therefore, a law. The Election Bill, as amended, 
also passed the Senate, and went to the Assem¬ 
bly, which immediately occurred. Bot h Houses 
have passed the Excise Bill, 1 lie clause permit¬ 
ting lhe sale of liquor on Sunday having been 
stricken out. The Assembly has passed a bill

sustain the State Geological Cabinet ; and an¬ 
other appropriating $500,000, to tunnel Fine Hill 
for the Rondout and Oswego Railroad. It has 
also passed the Eight-Hour Labor Bill, and the 
bill fixing the compensation of County Treasur¬ 
ers at. one per cent, of receipts ami disburse¬ 
ments. 
The Pennsylvania Legislature has adjourned 
ef tiedie. The bill to transfer bonds front the

The Legislature and lhe Governor of Califor¬ 
nia are at loggerheads. Tho Senate threatens, 
unless the Governor signs certain bills, to refuse 
to pass the General Appropriation Bill.

The British House of Lords 1ms passed the 
rigorous bill to enforce law in Ireland, including 
the provisions for a surveillance of the press, ar¬ 
bitrary arrests without warrant, and the closing 
of inns at sunset. As the bill was previously

royal sanction to become a law. Tho Waterford
