I have long contem- plated this, an mediate istinguished member of the Committee on the Fire am, at length, resolved on its im- consummation, since my long experience and extensive observation firmly convince me that ified bodies, and especially the body side over the immediate and » deeply momentous destinies of the Fire Department, over the public morals and the securi‘y of pro- . perty and human life, not only do not even consider the common welfare and common safety, but sanc- tion and, to all intents and purposes, legalize the highest crimes, through the perversion of their le- islative, judicial, and pardoamg powers, thus openly enc: ing these demoniacal clubs to de- the 4 tus, to dig the untimely graves of Rirecnea, and to outrage the Fire Department with se of the odium that has crippled it and blasted « Its reputation for so many ye: In the preceding remarks, ave said that most of the odium attached to the department, was caused by the infamous gangs of organized banditti that the city, who, without cause, attack the firemen, while passing nd from fires; but, truth and candor compel me to’ with mach fearst, that this odium is not wholly atiributable to these clubs, bad, powerful and numerous as they unqut jonably are, inasmuch as there are, and have , for years, some bad firemen in the de- parton all of oer hee Rg yptei of t ire Department, (through a committee or court chosen by them from the Exempt Fire- men, subject to impeachment by your hono- rable body,) would immediately expel, if they had the power of expulsion, for misdemeanor, as they should have, instead of the Common Council, through whem it is as absolutely impessible to have them expelled from the department, as itis to effect the puniskmeng of the club rowdies for their horri- Department. oreover, I learned from an Assistant Alder- man, that during the debate in the Board of Assistants, at the last session of your honorable body, on the adoption of the report of the Com- mittee on the Fire Department relative te Mr. Tweed, (a debate rendered somewhat animated by the minority report against Mr. Tweed, pre- sented by Assistant Alderman Ackerman,) that Assistant Alderman Sands, of the Fourteenth ward, and Assistant Alderman Florence thy, of the Fourth ward, were unusually elo- vent, especially Mr. McCarty, in advocating the adoption of the report favorable to Mr. Tweed, and that Mr. McCarthy was very indignant towards Agsistant Alderman Sturtevant, the Third ward, who left his seat, as President of the Board, to combat Messrs. 9 and McCarthy, and to brand, as infamous, the reports favorable to the non-expulsion of Mr. Tweed. And I also learned, a few evenings since, from a member of Your honorable body, that Assistant Alderman lorence McCarthy informed him that he had re- golden trinkets from his friend, Mr. Tweed, (since the debate in question,) one of which Mr. McCarthy wears about his pe: son, and of which he very complacently speaks as being a slight testimonial of Mr. Tweed’s disinte- rested friendship. 1 think that one solitary syllable of comment added to the narration of these black and most in- famous transactions, in either board of your honor- able body, would be a waste and a desecration of the few brief hours allotted to us in this life, to which I cannot conscientiously submit passing the above revolting facts over to the con: sideration of your honorable for such ae- ble misdemeanors. club rowdies and bad | tion and disposition as you may deem expedient, firemen, being thus under the special protection | 1 feel that 1 have done my whole duty in my of the Common Couneil, through their acquittal | laborious endeavors to purge the Fire Department and trifling sion of the firemen for misde- | ef its bad members, and to punish the club villains meapor, ag om} their uneonditional par- | who nightly the hose and engines, and - don of the -clab members as soon as arrested, | nearly kill our worthy firemen, of which, I am for attacking and beating the firemen, break- happy to say, the department is mostly composed. ing the apparatus, (\e. have done my | To show that! have not been inactive, I will now best to eflect the removal of some of the worst | refer to the dates of some of the reports [ have ~ firemen, through frequent communications to your | made, from time to time, from which I never heard _ honorable bod’, which had no more effect than if | after they left my hands, marily strangled I had not sen’ ly , like my communica- | by the Committee on the Fire Department. 1 made tion respecting the club outlaws, immediately refer- age reports to your honorable boay respecting red tothe Committee on the Fire Department, which murderous clubs and insubo: remer, is geverally the last that is heard of them ; or, if | on the sixteenth of May, 1850; ninete y “they ever report, it is generally in favor of their | 26th o May, two reports on July Sth, August 61 4 ittal, or suspension for a few weeks or months, | and I have several reports to make to your honor- during which they continue to perpetrate their | able body at its sent session, expecting, of aeeds of infamy with utter impunity ; and in the | course, that they will, asusual, all be referred to the face of which they resume their connection with | Committee on the Fire Department, and by them to the woartment at the expiration of the brief in- | ap eternal repose—a repose and a monstrous insult Common Ceunceil, BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Louisa Lynch and Dominick Lynch Law: rence impleaded with Frederick De Peyster and other —This case has been litigated for years, and the ublic are already familiar with the particulars. It respecting the will of the late Dominick Lynch, di in June, 1825, which, it is contended, provides that, after be thing his household furniture to his ynch, his executors should invest the sum | of $60.000, and that out of the income thereof, $3,000 should be paid each year to his wife, and that the re- sidue of the income arising out of said $60,000 should be reinvested, and form an accumulating fund durii | the life of the said wife; and at her death the $60, | tbould be divided into eight parts, and that each of | the seven children of the testator should receive an | equal eu: nd that if either of the children should die before the wife, the child or children of such de- ceased testator should receive the share of the deceased but if such deceased left no child, t his | to be divided among the survivors of the said seven children. Mr. Wood conten: m bebalf of the plaintiffs, that the decree set forth in the answer cannot affect them, as they were not parties to it; and that the admission | in the bill of complaint, of th: use in the testator’s will by which the plain! this suit were made de visees, was a fraud — court, without which such a decree could not have been made. That thi e- cutors bad power only to invest $60,000 in bonds and | mortgages, oF if the wife was willing to aceept certain parts of real estate, to make such arrangements, and to divide the residue; but the $60,000, and the accumu- lations, or the land which the widow should accep in lieu thereof during her life, at her death are to be di- vided among the children then living, or the children of a deceased child who may survive the widow, and cannot be divided before, becat devirees are not ascertained ai ixed interest, but « bare | ct which, {p addition -y. is equal to one-sixth of the whole. ‘contended, that they are entitled of the money, because the widow was will And it is the land Jony, ‘& short distance, & a fi it his nding it on @ Recorder, has ibited farms 4 ter, as a man of mild disposition ; ‘Therefore uld be, possibly, unjust to convict, Thejury, with gut leaving thelr sents, found a verdiot of mot ro The Rev der called up th rand Leng od hime at the jury cou found him had good teeson to belleve, ca well en tie toeet ) freon | the good character just given of him by Capt.

Trial for Burglary in the first degree.—& Dutchm by the name of Frederick Hisenbottle, was put on te! charged with burglariously entering the dwelli house of John Walter, No. 54 Oak street, on the 17 of May last, and stealing therefrom 01 four doilars in money. The prisoner was caught in the act, but doubt existed as to the manner the prisoner entered; there was no evidence that any force was used, ani the presumption was that the back window might have been open, and the rogue entered withou! break- ing any fartening. The jury. under the charge of the court, found the accused guilty of petit larceny, and not of the burglary, and the court sentenced him to the penitentiary for six months, Charge of Grand Larceny.—Three sailors. by the names of Henry Allen, John Smith, and John Williams, were placed at the bar for trial, on a charge of ad lar- ceny, in breaking open atrunk on the 24th of July last, and stealing therefrom clothing and some jewelry, valued at $29. The property was in the possession of Richard Carriden. sailor boarding housekeeper, at N. 96 Oliver street. r. Carriden, the witn the prisoners boarded with him, portion of the articles were found in the possesion of the accused: parties. The District Attorney stated, as the amount of the stolen property was but a trifle over $25, which made ita grand larceny, he would only claim a con- vietion for petit larceny, which the prisoners were willing to plead guilt; and a verdict was thus found. The er t) 4 judgment by giving Allen 10 days in the City P: and Smith and Wil- liams 2 months each in the Penitentiary. Ye Burglars.—Three boys, under the ages of eighteen years, by the names of Thomas Quinn, George Mason and John Nolan, were brought before the court © charge of burglary, in entering uninhabited @ ings, the owners being in the eow jun- dering them of all the valuables they ject. The Young scamps pleaded guilty to petit larceny, and the Court sentenced them to the penitentiary— Quinn for6 months; Mason, 5; and Nolan, 4 months. The Riotous Tailors.—A» application was mad counsel for the ten journcymen tailers now confined in the Tombs on a ap of riot, for a reduction of bail, some of them being held by the committing ma- gistrate in the sum of $3,000, which amount the coun- fel said they could not procure; but a lesser amount, which would equally secure their attendance for trial, they could possibly procure. Mr, MeKeon, the Dis- trict Attorney, in answer to the application, stated that be bad just learned that Mr. David Burnham one of the policemen of the Sixteenth ward, who received a stab in the side during the riot, was nearly ds from the effects of the wound, and that he hoped the ours tion of , wel the case of the injured polic 2 was turther investi. gated, The Court postponed any action until to-morror when a certificate of the doctor atteading the wound- ¢ produced.
