PRONUNCIAWENTO OF THE CHICF ENGINEER An Extraerdinary Mate of Affairs. To the Fire Departmentand the Public at Large, Im conteqrerce of my aanual Report of 1850, which was suta ned by acclamation in Firemen’s Hall by the reprerentatives of tho Fire Departmont, and by the Hoard of Engineers and foremen, 1 in. ourred the bitter hatred of the Common UVouncil and the wire-pullers of either political party. In my annual Report of 1951,1 proposed that there be a separation of the Fire Department from the Com- mon Council, which was referred to the Committee on the Fire Department, composed of Franklin, Bard and Griffin; Franklin and Bard reporting against the repuration, Subsequently, Aldorman Griffin proposed, by resolution, that a special com- Mittee be appointed to consider the propositions contained in the Annual leport of the Chief En- gincer, which was adopted. At this time, the en- ginecrs and foremen convened at Firemon’s Hall and sustained these propositions, and appointed a committee of five to urge their adoption by tho Common Couneil. The special committee, in the Board of Aldermen, composed of Gr fin, Chspwan and Cook, reported in favor of the separation, which was laid on the table, where it remained until the old board expired. At the inauguration of the present board, it was taken from the table, and reterred to a special com mittee, composed of Francis, Beers and Boyce, who have never reported thereon. Had these pro- positions been adopted, they would have superceded the necersity of the present commusication, and have disarmed the Commoa Council of the power of creating fire companies, chiefly composed of politi- cians, in ordor to vote me out of the department, as lj understand they are about to do. The wire-pullers of either political party have labored unceasingly during the past two years to oust me summarily from ¢fiice. ‘ There is a powerful organization throughout the city to rupertede me with a political engineer. Tho Common Council, in order to know their men, have recently assumed the power of making out the lists of the members of new companios—a power which hitherto belonged to the companies themselves. Companies are now formed in the following man- ner:— Rerolved, That the Chief Engineer of the Fire Bepart- ment be directed to organize the names on the annexed dist into an engine company, to be located in —— ward. | —The “annexed list”’ being packed by the Com- mon Council itself. In this manner several com- panies have been recently created, and the work is still progressing, in erder to obtain votes enough in the department to oust me from it. And those companies are now being formed in open defiance of remonstrances from myself; from the whole Beard of Assistant lungincers, with tho exception of one member, (Mr. Howard); from a large number of the officers of companies, and from large numbers of our most respectable citizens Asan evidence of tho determination of the Com- mon Council to hurl me from office #t all hazards, on Friday evening last, a first class engine com- pany, which is entitled to sixty members, was created against theremonstrances of myself, of the foremen and assistam foremen of two fire dis- triots, and of from between two and three hundred ofthe most respectable citizens of the Fifteonth ward. And, still furtber, to show tho determination of the Common Council to crush me, when the crea tion of the Fifteenth ward company was before the Board, the Alderman of that ward absolutely refused to present a remonstrance of the citi- vens of his own ward, against the creation of that company; and in the Fire lepartment Com- mittee, of which he is a member, he actually op- posed the reception by the committee, of the re- monatranoe of the officers of the companies of the Third and Fourth fire districts. And the Assistant Alderman of the Fifteenth ward, on Friday evening last, successfully moved to lay on the ti @ remonstrance against the croa- tion of the Fifteenth ward engine company in quos- tion, which was signed by several hundred of his immediate constisuente, composed of as respectable citizens as there are in the Fifteenth ward. From what has already transpired, it would seem that the Common Council log will not stop until it rolls from the lattery to Harlem, inasmuch ag nearly every wember seems determined to have a political fie company in his ward. The Common Council are not ovly creating packed companies to oust me from office, but they have even had the unblushing audacity toremove my friends, in ordor teenable my enemies who remained to appoint in their stead those whom they knew to be un. friendly to me. For instance; eleven members of Engine Company No. 44, who were friendly to me were removed by the present Common Council, for the purpose of enabling those who remained in tho company to have the opportunity to elect others in their stead whom they kuew to be opposed to me. Thank God, this is the first decapitation of mom- bers since I have been connected with the Fire Department, whose sole offence was their friendship for tbe Chief Engineer. Irrespective of me, per- sonally, 1 would reepectfully inquire if the Fire Do- partment at Jarge, is prepared to tamely sanction the removal by the Common Council of some o/ its ables: members for their opinions If outrages on the eacre; rights of members, sim- | ply for their opinions, are tamely submitted to, the department practically recognises the Common Council as its proud and merciless dictator. For one, | never will quietly permit any power on earth to disfrancbise my brethren for their opinion of mcn or measures. % Now, if these engine companies were actually re- quired, even if their creation (although chiefly com- posed of politicians) resulted in my removal, 1 would not personally complain. But they are not requ being a positive injury to the department, tae force in thore districts where these new com- panics aro to be located, being already too large to ensure harmony and energy in the departmont. Theee now companies are, moreovor, @ useless and enormous expense to the city, one of which, created @ few cvenings ince, when properly located and equipped, will cost the city at least twelve thousand | doliurs. And here! am forcibly reminded with what rock- leesnets the large sums appopriated for the support | ef the Fire Department are squandered for political purpeses from year to year, which is a question for the consideration of those who are robbed through | taxation by these public plunderers of the Com- | mon Council.

And my leading personal motive in this com- munication is to drag the cowardly assassins from the darkness of ambush before the public gaze, aad inquire why thoy do not remove me directly from office, as in the case of Mr. Gulick? Or why do they not create twenty-four political fire companies in one night, as their ancient predocessors did io order to remove Mr. Anderson? Is it because their dastardly motives would be too palpable, and their own exeoution, on their own scaffold, like their predecessors of old, might be the righteous consequence ? They are creating these companies by pieoe-meal, and stealthily, like sneaking assassins, in distriots where they are not required, in order to spring upon me uni res, to subserve their mercenary ends through my destruction And when they are sure they bave created companies enough, united with my preront enemies in the department, most of whom they bave allured from me through detraction and municipal patronage, they are to have a now eleo- tion, with the understanding that those who peti- tion for a new election of Chief Engineer, from the Common Council, are already pledged to vote me out of the department. And they intend that this fraudulent and wicked result shall go torth to the city, and tothe world, (and for the serrow of my wife and children all their days,) that | was hurled from office in disgrace, not by my public enemies within and without the department, but by the ao- tive firemen themselves—thoso noble and honor- ablo men who have, against the gilded seduotions of the Common Council, clung to me and the cause of public honor up to the present moment, and with a cordial fidelity that elicits my warmest gratitude. The stealthy mode of the Common Council re- sorted to for my removal, would thus convey to the Buble mind that my most steadfast friends had lone the deed, instead of the Councilmen and ‘‘Mil- ler and his men,” and those political ‘dead heads” already made, and to be made, members of the de- partment all over the city. This base deception, about perhaps to go forth to the world, seems rather hard for one who has been an active fireman in this city during the past eighteen years, and who, as he looks around, can find but few, very few active members in the depart- ment, at this day, who entered it with him eighteen yearsago. Areturn like this seems hard, I say, for one who has never been impeached for derelic- tion of duty as a publio officer. And it seems very hard that one who has passed the best portion of bis days inthe Fire Department, should with all the arduous and responsible daties of Chief En- ineer, be an especial target of either party, hav- | ing in its hands the annual disbursement of three or four millions of dollars—onough, apparently, to crueh a thousand men. Batifibad the s poysical energies of carlier years, and lees cares and responsibilities as Chief Engi peer—if] did not have to work like a slave, night and day, in common with my comrades, for tho preservation of the wealthiest and largest city of this continent, I would contend with my public enemies, (in the teeth of all their patronage and grovelling suaecen) hand to hand, and foot to foot, as long as I could stand. But after two years unceasing contention with them, I find that they have got the power, and the heartless disposition, | to iene me and mine, and I have concluded | that they can do their work of infamy as soon as they pleage.

The press, the public, the itemisers, and the tea table cote: were alltaken by surprise yesterday, on the appearance of the evening papers containing the announcement of the nuptials of the peerless Jenny Lind and the too happy Otto Goldschmidt. The news was rapitty disseminated to every quar- ter of the city. Wherever one went the announce- ment was trumpetted in his ear—‘‘Jenny Lind is | married!—the nightingale is mated—the bird is caged—there’sno Jenny Lind now—she’sa gone-er.”’ By cight o’clock in the evening there was not a beau ora belle, within fifty miles of Boston, who did not know the news, or hud not read it in the evening papers. It wag rushed into the telegraph offices, and flashed off to the cast, the west, tl north, and the south, ard it was known in Hali‘ax, in New Orleans, at Quebec, and St. Louie, and ali along the shores of the great lakes befure nightfall.

To the Senate and Howse of Representatives, in Com gress Assembied:— The memorial and petition of the proprictors of the New York ard Havre mail steamers, by their agent, Mortimer Livingston, respectfully shows :— ‘That your memorialists now perform the mi service fer the government of the United S:ate: between the poe of New York, Havre, and South- ampton,in England; and for that purpose they have constructed, and now own, two mers, the Franklin, of 2,154 tons register, and the Hum- boldt, of 2,182 tons register; the first of which, the Fravklin. was put on the line in October, 1850, and the Humboldt in May, 1851 And your memorialists further show, that these veesels have, ever since the respective periods afore- said, performed their trips with euch rapidity and regularity as to command the entire contidence of the travelling pubiic and the commercial comma- nity. They have met with neither accident nor in- terruption; they have not been withdrawn from service a single day for want of repair; and your memorialists believe themselves entitled to the merit of @ success almost withcut precedent in the history of Atlantic steam navigation. Your me- morialists have thus fully performed the contract into which they entered with the government, and they are able still to do so, if not disturbed or inter- fered with. But the facts which your memorialists are about to etate, render it neceesary for them to appeal to the people of the United States for their support, and to the government for its protection, if it is considered desirable to prevent this impor- tant branch of our foreign mail service from being crushed by the undue interference of English capi- tal, sustained by the British government. Thoso facts are not generally known; but your memorial- ists believe them calculated to arrest the attention not only of those engaged in the French trade, but of all who take an interest in the advance of this iene branch of commercial enterprise; of all who feel a just pride in the triumph of American energy and skill. American vessels going into French ports labor under a disadvantage of which the public is not generally aware. English vessels entering tho ports of France pay a duty of but one franc per ton register, whilst American vessels pay five francs. The excess of duty paidin one year by ono of our steamers over what an lioglish vessel of tho same size would pay, amounts to upwards of six thousand dollars. ‘This difference, in regard to which, though repeatedly brought to tho notice of our government, no relief has yet been obtained, becomes very serious when it is borno in mind that since the repeal of the English Navigation Laws, British bottoms are allowed to bring Frensh goods to this country free of all discriminating tty aod consequently the capitalists interested in British steamers find it profitable to transport cargoes of French goods in them hy the way of Liverpool to New York. This is a direct and positive disad- vantage under which the vessels of your memo- rialiets labor, and to remove which the govern- ment has done nothing; but others of a more seri- ous nature exist. Fair competition is the life of all business, and especially ot commercial business. Commerce in all its branches flourishes most when least inter- fered with. Of such competition it is neither the desire nor the interest of your memorialists to com- plain; but when competition is devised and em- ployed with the avowed objost of driving all rivals trom the field— when this is sought to be effected by the unsparing and unscrupulous use of cnormous capital, backed by the governmental support of our most formidable commercial rival, it is bo- lieved that a state of things ig presented to which no one of correct notions can be insensible. Such is the state of things with which your momorialists have to centend. ‘The wealthy and powerful English company owa- ing the steamers known as the Cunard lino, as has been said, find it to their interest to transport French goeds from Havre, via EC a to Now York; and to seoure this branch cf business to themselves without interruption, they have delibe- rately undertaken, by a reducticn of freight far bo- low the standard of remuneration, to broak down your memorialists’ steamers, and drive them from the trade. Your memorialists have in vain endeavored to induce the parties who control the Cunard line to agree upon a tariff of freight which should be sufli- | cient for all; they have refused all overtures of the kind, and have, on the contrary, engaged in a set- tled scheme of warfare against this company, thinking, undoubtedly, that being of recent origin, legs opulent than themselves, and nct so secure of government assistance, they could succeed in do- stroying it. > The usual rate of freight from Havre to New York, by steamers, before your memorialists’ vessels were put on the line, was $40 per toa. Tne Cunard vessels, as the annexed extracts from their advertisements show, have reduced the rate as low as ten dollars per ton, and in order to carry out their pian, one transport French goods in small steam- «18 from Havre to Liverpool. This reduction, too, is only made when one of your memorialists’ ve3- sela, the Humboldt or the franklin, is about te leave Havre.

Cunard Advertisement, Havre, 2d December, 1850. “ Bhippers are advised that for the month of Decem. ber, up to the 4th January, inclusive, the rate of freight will be ten dollars per ton,” And with little variation this course has beon pursued chroughout the year. A In the advertisement of the Cunard lino of the last date, occurs a still more striking proof of the hostile character of the opposition to this eom- any. P « Resppers are advised that goods for the Ameri- can boats, (the Collins’ line.) leaving Liverpool in De- cember, will be transported by the Cunard steamers _ from Havre to Liverpool free of all charge to the | shippers.” k thus appears that, not satisfied with the at- tempt to turn the whole couree of freight to their own boats, by taking it at a ruinous rate, that in order nothing may be left for the boats of your memorialists, they offer to transport to Liverpool whatever may remain, free of ali charge, thus also | Of Committee on Streets, in favor of regrading Thirty- creating the erroneous impression on the minds of those engaged in the French trade, that both the English and Amorican eveamers from Liverpool were united against the Havre line. If any further doubt ean be entertained as to the real nature of this competition, and its implacable hostility to this branch of our trade, it will be re- moved by the statement which your memorialists held themeclyes ready to prove—that the agents of the Cunard line have deliberately avowed their purpore to break down and destroy the business of your petitioners, and utterly drive them from the line; that they have insultingly recommended your petitioners to take their boxts off the Havre line, and send them to Bremen, engaging not to eppose them there—only, ho oa the condi- tick that they would not stop at Soathampton; in other words, being willing to allow us the tree of the Brii Channel, provided we would nos such on cither shore, but resolved that the United States government should have no direct line of mail steamers from New York to Havre. ‘This object, and the course by which it is sought __ it is hos tile to a large class of our citizens, and inimical to the policy of our government. Tho sea is broad cnough to bear all the steamers now on its bosom, and it cannot be necessary to the existence of the Cunard company, to build it up on the ruins of your memorialiste’ business. Jf this plan prove success- fol, it would at once tend to defeat a cherished ob- | ject of our government—the extension of its steam ‘warine—and at the same time lead to the ostablish- | ment of a formidabie foreign monopoly, which would necessarily and inevitably seck remuneration or the sacrifices it had made to get rid of competi- | tion, by imposing enormous rates of freight. | Against the creation of such a monopoly, your | memorialiste submit thet thoy and the eountry are | entitled to protection at the hands of the govern ment. | | | | | ‘There is another consideration conneeted with this eubject, to which your petitioners have already briefly adverted, but whish, in every point of view, | deserves fuller notice and inore serious attention. ‘Tho Cunard steamers are large recipients of the bounty of the English government, to an extent | which it is imporsible to ascertain, which probably deponds only on the necessities imposed by foreign competiton. They act under the direct supervision, ifnot under the direct orders, of that government. It is not too much, therefore, to eay, that in contending with the Cunard steamers we are contending with the Exglish government itself; and if this be the | case, it 18 epparent how serious becomes @ delibe- fiort on the part of that company to break | avd doatroy a part of our steam marino.

But your memorialists, in asking aid from the fcorennene of the United Stats, do not wish te understood ag Leaking any extravagant advance of public moneys to enable them to compete with the formidable opposition with which they are now contending. They ask only to bo placed on the same footing with other transatlantic mail steamers. They do not expect any advantages bo- yond what ether lines may enjoy; ies taltare themselves entitled to equal justice. It will be recollected that the boats of your me morialiss have never received from government an; advance whatever towards their constroction, though it was freely granted to other mail steam It is further to be borne in mind that they now re- ceive full one-third less compensation for the trans- portaticn of the mails than any othor transat- lantic line; that they perform double mail sorvico; stopping at Southampton as well as at Havro; an this at an additional expense of $15,000 per annum, for which your memorialists receive no bonefit whatever, as they take no freight from Southamp- ton. It will be recollected, also, that although quired to build boats of only 1,600 tons, they Lave, at great additional expense, built them nearly om. third larger, thus rendering them more servioor#!¢ for government use should they be so regaited; and that in fact they havo carried them fv tbe ox- treme limit of size that tho dimension: Of the port gates of Havre will allow. Your petitioners, in view of tke whole case, con- fidently appeal to the government for aid in the premiges. Their claim ade not merely with a view to their own advantage. They rest their demand on the interest of the citizen and that of tho nation; i 18 for the welfare of all that this young enterprise should not be breken up, and the tteam trade with France thrown into tho hands of a huge mor opoly, controlled and sustained by our most formidable rival. It concerns the honor of the government, that they do not permit any foreign power to dictate to them in what channels our steam marine shall be employed. The requost of our memorialists is not an unreasonable ono. ‘hey ask that the same Savaninget granted to others be extended to them; to be placed on an equal footing with other lines; with this aid, given to them at this time, they pledge themselves to defy all foreign competition, and to secure for tho country advantages, which, if now lost, wo may strive in vain to recover.

City Intelligence, | Accipent on tHe Hani Rartnoan On Sunday af- | ternoon an accident occurred on the Harlem railroad, | which almest proved fatalin its consequences, hile the two and a baif o'clock train to Croton Falls, consist- ing of three baggage end five passenger cars, was ene mile this side of Fordonm. en axle of the middle passenger car broke, throwing {t completely over, while the second was driven off the track, and the last but partially. A brakeman on the rear platform, named Vandervender, who got entangled between the platform and the car, had his urm broken, and was obliged to have it amputated. We urderstand he sustained other, but slight injuries, and we hear that he is ¢oing well. Notwithstanding the car was nearly full, there happened no further serious accident, except a woran, who was slightly injured by | ber dress taking fire from the stove. The middle and fourth cars were considerably damaged, Innuman Treatment at THE Beiivvue Hosrrrau.—On Bunday. about 4 o'clock, @ poor emigrant woman, named Ann McCabe, aged 65, fell on the sidewalk in Twenty. | tecond ssreet, near the Third avenue, and by the fall broke her leg and disiocated her hip.

We are informed by the Captain of Police, of the Eighteenth word that this unfeeling and inhuman case is not by any means the only one on record. It seems they arein the hnpit of turning away cases of this na- ture, but on what ground the police cannot imagine. Bellevue Hospital, as far as we are capable of ascertain- ing, is the property of the city, a public institution, and by what anthority they refuse to admit cases of sudden sudden emergency within its walls, is a matter, we should tuppose, for the Common Council to examine into.

Monpay, Feb, 9-6 P, M. We have no variation of importance to report in quo tations for stocks. Erie and Reading continue the most prominent fancies on the list; but the supply of stock fully equals the demand, and prices are not much affected. They were both heavy to-day, so far as quotations are concerned; and at the close the tendency was downward Stonington has become quite active again. Very little of this stock has been offered lately; but priees have been well maintained. Harlem is still drooping, notwith- standing the limited sales, and the favorable prospects of the company. It appears impossible to sustain Norwich avd Worcester. The last, report of earn- ings is not calculated to advance the market value of the stock much. The receipts for January, 1852 were $13,684, against $18,644 for the same month in 1351, showing a falling off of $5,060. A portion of this falling off was produced, doubtless, by the partial suspension of traffic on the road from the obstruction to navigation in the Sound; but that doesnot alter the fact, and we have no guaranty that the deficiency will be made up in the futare earnings of the company. Stonington has been similarly affected in its traffic operations; but we do not know how much its earnings have been reduced. Long Island is making down again to old pointe, Very few have realized at the advance, judging from the transac- tions at the board, Hudson River Railroad has declined; in fact, neatly every security in the merket,is lower now than it was last week at this time. Delaware and Hud- son is an exception; quotations for that stock are stea- dily advancing. Only a few shares are sold daily, which exhibite a firmness among holders of a most decided cha- racter, This stock may reach & much higher price than that now current; but it never can be carried up to points it has touched within the past three years Ail the small stocks are very much neglected; and it is | fish, barrels, 6 difficult to sustain prices in the absence of any demand. | At the first board to-day, Reading Railroad declined 13 per cent; Erie Railroad, 34; Harlem, };; Norwich and Worcester, 3(; Hudson River Railroad, !z; Long Island, 34; Canton Co,, 114; Zine Co., 14; Stonington, *;. Dela- ware and Hudson advanced 1/4 per cent. ‘ ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $159,120; payments $211,071 20—Dalance $3,033,384 04. ‘The deposites in the U. 8, Mint, Philadelphia, for the week ending the 7th inst., amounted to $1,883,590, of which $1,596 was silver, and $1,382,000 gold. Coinage in the same time, $1,012,072. Total coinage since Jan- vary Ist, $5,251,687. Total deposits, $5,561,740, The Petersburg Railroad Company have declared a semi-annual dividend ot 3 per cent. The Southwark aud Moyamenring Gas Company have declared a somi- annuel dividend of 4 per cent. ‘The following bill to increare the range of securities in which ravings’ banks are allowed to invest thelr funds is now before the Legislature : Seo. 1, It ehall be lawfal for any Savings’ Bank, orga- nized under or incorporated by the lews of this State, in addition to the powers heretofore granted, to invest any money they have reovived, or hereafter shall receive, as deposite, in the stock or bonds of any city in the Btate of New York, which may be irsued under the authority of | the Legislature of this Bixte, or to loan eaid money on the eecuriies of any rtcok or bonds in which said corpora. jon is authorized to invest the same; provided, that he amount loaned thereon shall not exceed ninety per cent Of the market value thereef, bee. 2 This act shall take eflect immediately. The Pittsburg Copper Company pay its semi-annual dividend of $5 per share On the 14th inst. part year an amount exceeding the, whole dividend of the year bas been expended on machinery, workshops, &e. Thishas been expended out of the current earn- ings of the line, without reducing the dividends, The income of the Portsmouth and Concord, N. H., Railroad Company, for the first eight months of 1851, was $10,381 66; for the same period of 1850, $7,897 28. For the last four months of 1261, $6,986 62; fer the same time in 1860, $4,014 67. The ret income above all the ex- penees for the year is $2,400. As the last four months of bothl years the cars were rum to Raymond, they present the only fair criterion for comparing the operations, It appears that the increase of the business for the last four months of 1861, compared with the same time in 1860, is within a fraction of fifty per cent.
