Once, Broad way was the great street of fashionable residences: Now, they are nearly all converted into stores, and the aristocracy are driven up town to escape contact with the million. These new buildings on Fifth avenue are all substantial, highly finished, and first houses. There is a strange inconsistensy in he architecture of the churches, which applies to other locaiitier in the city, and which, for sa public taste and the beauty of the city, ¢ be avoided. The most magnificent churches, even #hoxe consisting of marble, will terminate in a quiserable piece of a stick, tho lower part of the spire being of the same costly materials as the main building, but the upper part of pine, or other com- mop woo!. This not only destroys the uniformity and iow ensemble of the building, completely marr” jg it beauty, but suggests the idea of meanness andfalse economy. It would be laughed at in Eu- pope a¢ ridiculous, the practice there being totally weknown.

To THE HonorasLe THE Common COUNCIL OF THE | Crry or New York :— Gentlemen—The City Inspector would most re- ctfully submit the following communication to | eonsideration and action of your honorable that tho importance of | the matters embraced therein may induce prompt | t of your honorable body. ‘arch session of your honorable body, an ordinance was adopted whereby this department has been deprived of all assistance for the perform- ance of its out-door duties. By this action of your honorable body, this department being deprived of | the services of the Deputy City Inspector and nine- teen Health Wardens, the city has been left wholly without authorized officers to cause the removal or abatement of nuisances dangerous to the public health--the only aid allowed to that department the services of two clerks, whose time is ied in the granting and recording of permits, registering of deaths, and receiving the numerous complaints made by our citizens of nuisances that threaten the origin or spread of dis- ease. Additional labor in the office is now required —the granting of scavengers’ permits—and it is al- most impossible to perform the labor of the office without additional assistance. The time of the City Inspector being employed in the inyostigation of com- laints, notification, and attention to other public juties, renders it impossible for him to give any out- door attention to the numerous and startin plaints that are made to this department daily. Ia consideration of the health wardens, who continue to perform duty, notwithstanding the ordinance passed at the March session, not receiving any compensa- tion for the services they have performed for more than three months past, the City Inspector cannot demand the same vigilant, active and faithful dis- charge of duties that formerly existed, and which adue regard to the welfare of citizeos demands. Another reassn for the want of efficiency is found in the fact that these gentlemen, while in the perform- ance of their duties, being frequently insulted and abused, and even violently assailed by persons who are at all times ready to bid defiance to all law and authority, and who rejoice at the opportunity of abusing a public officer, under the sanction of the ordinance of your honorable body abo- the offices of Deputy City Inspector As the legislative branch of our city government, it is proper and be- coming that the executive heads of department should do no act that might even appear to defy or contravene the action of your honorable body; and this consideration (independent of the injury to the cause of the city, in the trial now in progress), would be sufficient reason for the City Inspector not ine and prompt attention artment, which are, never- theless, most imperatively demanded by a due re- gard to the public good. ‘ ctor cannot but regret that a like ration for the rights, duties and re- sponsibilities of the heads of departments, combined with considerations of the most vital importance — the preservation of the health and lives of our citi- zens, and the welfare and pros should not have been displayed by your honorable body before the adoption of an ordinance that has left our citizens to justly complain ofthe liability to the attack, or origin, of pestilontial disease, without the necessary assistance in the Health Department to cause the abatement of the great and dangerous nuisances that abound, and that ot all times threa- ten the lives of the residents of large cities. _ The Haalth Wardens who were, by the action of your honorable body, virtuall, abolishment of the office of Health Warden, deemed the action of your honorable body illeg: and void, have, thus fur, continued voluntary duty, in the hope that, by process of law, of by the re- scinding or repeal of the ordinance of last March, your honorable body would provide compensation for the eervice rendered. For a term of nearly four months, these gentlemen have performed duty with- out compensation ‘therefor, and:they have shown a commendable public spirit in eontinuing to this important public service, instead of leaving this department wholly without aid and our city without protection. Under these circumstances, these gentlemen can scarcely be expected to continue their services in the event of epidemic disease prevailing, or, at the pre- sent time, they cannot be blamed for not risking their lives by violence, or by the dangerous diseases with which their daily dutics compel their contact, while thus deprived of all rewerd tor their labors. In this state of affairs, our City Inspect enforce the discipline ant partment. *ithout injus' on the other hand, ¢ June 17.—U} the Britannic Thomas Kaine, a native of Cooleen, county of Westmeat Ireland, was brought before the Co! fed. from the City To Committee on Abstract of estimates received, and contract# Laid on the to be = ; FROM 2OARD on ALDERMEN. ‘eport in favor of grantin, tors Hy Jackson Fe: thereof, on the Broo! to Bridge street. oe FROM THE CITY IN: ‘dont harged with havi ‘the 5th of wi wing, on o n, attempted to murder Thomas shooting him with a pistol.

The Reeordorobserved npon the dai and at the same time. ingenious manner in which the robbery was committed, and sentenced him to the State prion for five years. Acquitted.—Johv Thompson, a respectable looking man, was indicted for stealing a trank, the property of William Wilson, who, a8 well as himse! , Was ab the time staying at Lovejoy’s Hotel. Mr. Wilson had left for England, and his evidence had not been taken. A full affidavit and crose-examination of Mr, Jobn P.

This was all the evidence. Mr. JB. Phillips, for the defence, contended thera was no evidence that the truuk was Mr. Wilson's at all; there was only the bookkeeper’s statement, that he said so. It was a common thing for a portman teau to be taken by mistake at a hotel, and the conduet of the ag in leaving it untouched till found, was not like that of one who intended to steal it. The jury, without leaving their seats, acquitted the prisoner. Burglary.—Jobn Leary, aged 18, John Ryan, 16, and Patrick Millet, 16, were charged with burglary, atthe hardware store of John Davenport, No. 10 Platt street, on the evening of the 80th of May, about seven o’clock. The District Attorney woutd only ask for a convietion for attempt, and of this they were clearly convicted by the evidence of Alexander Macett, policeman, and ‘Vm. Meeler, pri- vate watchman, who caught them in the fuct, and found somo burglars’ instruments upon them, One of them, when called up, said He was a daguere reotype casemaker, which suggested an idea of the House of Refuge, but he denied ever having been there.

Explosion on Board a Lake Steamer={Three Men Killed. [From ihe Cleveland Herald, June 15.) Last evening, the steamer Forest City, Captain Pierce, left for Dunkirk in place of the ‘Alabama, and when off Erie street, oollapeed a boiler fluc. Three firemen were instantly killed—James Farrel, and John King, of Detroit, and a man named Denny, who had been @ fireman on board the Alabama, and had yesterday been hired on the Forest City. Henry Gaylord the engineer, and his assistant, were standing beside the firemen at the time of the accident, and Mr. G. called to the firemen to ran back. Had they done so they would have escaped, but in the excitement of the moment they attempted is cones up out of the fire hold and were scalded to leath. The two engincers escaped with but slight sealding. A passenger becomiug frightened, leaped over- board, but the small boat was lowered and he was rescued. The Alabama went to the Forest City and towed herfin. An inquest was held, and the bodies of Kin, and Denny interred last night. That of Farrel wil be taken to Detroit, where he loaves a wifeand child. The cause ofthe accident has not heen ascertained, but must have been a defect in the flue. The Forest City is a new boat, with a new low Prosensmpngine, and her engineer, Mr. Gaylord, is one of most careful mon upon the lakes. The boat was éarrying but little steam at the time of the accident. To-night the Atlantic will tow her to Detroit,, where a new flue will be put in, and the boat will re« sume her regular trips in a few days. CoNVeRSIONS TO PROTESTANTISM IN GERMANY.—- ig to official reports, 643 porsons renounced Catholicism and embraced Protestantism in Silesia last year, Of those 648 person 269 were adults, and the remainder had already becn confirmed. "thie. Fst of these, 466 Roman Catholic parents had their children baptized in the Protestant church, in 1851. These figures are higher in comparison than in the previous year, 1850, for in the official list fox | that year, only 308 converts were entered, of whom | 159 were adults. In that year, aleo. oy 187 chil- dren of Roman Catholic parents were bapt zod in thiy Protestant church of Silesia. Tt appears that many persons who had joined the so-called German Catholic | churches, are now going over to the Pretestant churches, on account of the great obstacles which have been put in the way of t rman Catholics.
