In the Senate, yesterday, the President announced several Standing Committees, and a memorial was presented from HENRY A. LOW, claiming the seat for the Ninth Senatorial District. A number of bills were introduced relative to the Metropolitan Police Commissioners; to legalize the acts of Supervisor's in raising and paying bounty moneys; to amend the Constitution so as to allow soldiers to vote; to incorporate a company to build a Ship Canal around Niagara Falls. A short Executive session was held, and the Senate adjourned.

In the Assembly, also, a great many bills were noticed, and resolutions introduced. Among the latter was one calling upon the Police Commissioners for information which bears upon prostitution in this City, with a view to alleviating or regulating the evil; also, tendering to Gen. GRANT the thanks of the people of the State, for his distinguished services. A resolution in acknowledgement of the services of the late Archbishop HUGHES, and honoring his memory, gave rise to debate and was tabled.
