Mr. Yancey introduced a bill to increase the pay of clerks in the several Departments. The bill provides for as immediate increase of the salary of all the clerks in the several Departments of the Executive Government in the following ratio: All salaries under $1,000, 50 per cent.; of $1,000 and under $1,200, 33 per cent; of $1,200 and upwards, 25 per cent. Mr. Yancey spoke of the measure as one of necessity, growing out of the increased expense of living in the city.

Lydia Maria Child on amalgamation. --Lydia Maria Child, who begged the favor of Gov. Wise to go to Charlestown, Va., and attend upon old John Brown, favors the Hon. Massa Greeley, of the New York Tribune, with a letter, from which we extract the following endorsement of, and encouragement for, amalgamation. Such a beastly proposition deserves no comment.
