The New York Volunteers.

--In New York city, on Monday last, some of the Third regiment of volunteers from Albany became dissatisfied at the quality and quantity of the rations, and gave vent to their feelings by pitching stools, tables, plates and other eating utensils, together with the provisions, on the floor, and using at the same time the coarsest language and the most vulgar threats against the contractor. The grossest insubordination was exhibited by these men, the whole floor being literally covered with pieces of meat, bread, &c., broken dishes and cups, the officers apparently having no control over them. The Polish company, located in the Park, are also getting rather troublesome. On the promulgation of the order, decreeing that they are to form a part of the First Regiment Union Volunteers, the men began to grumble, and one of them, whose name could not be learned, being more noisy than the rest, was ordered to the guard-house, when his comrades attempted to rescue him. The guard, however, overpowered them, and the culprit was safely locked up.
