If we go on this way, we shall have to grant all the pe- titions that are addressed to us. Alderman Baxv—I hope the resolution will be carried. There is no officer of the city government who is in greater need of a horse and wagon, for there is none who has more cut-door work to perform. He has more tra- yelling to do than any other member of the Corporation, and I consider that he is entitied to tis as a right. Alderman Francis moved that it be laid upon the table. which was carried, but the resolution was subse- quently adopted, . A report was presented from the Committee on Police in favor of paying the bills of John McKeon and A. A Phillips. for their services as counsel to the Twentieth | ward police officers, Savage, and Creamer, against Mr, Gage, The report stated that the policemen were arrest- «da and held to bail, onthe complaint of Mr. John H, Gage upona charge of assault and battery with intent torob. Upon this charge they were indicted, and the in- dictment was tried at the May term of the Court of Sessions, On the trial it was shown that the policemen were aredulted and beaten by Mr. Gage, who, according to the report, acted in a very Creed manner, biting Captain Hennigan’s finger, and injuring him severely. No evidence was offered on his part to prove his charge of robbery against the policeman. and the jury accordingly sequitted them, after a short absence. Alderman Boyce opposed the adoption of the report. If the policemen, eatd ho, had gone to the Corporation At- torney. as they should have done, the city would have been rayed the additional expense of engaging new counsel Alderman Bann moved that it be laid upon the table. He thought that by delaying it for some time, the Board would be better prepared to act upon it when it should come upaguin. The motion prevailed, and the whole matter was disposed of for the present by laying it on the table. i BOARD OF ASSISTANTS. THE KIGHTH AVENUE RAILROAD. In the Board of Assistant Aldermen, last evening, Asst. Ald. Manatt moved that the preamble and resolutions concerning the Eighth Avenue Railroad. be taken up and passed, notwithstanding the objections of his Honor the Mayor. Mr. Mabbatt stated that he made this motion for the purpose of getting this subject before the Board, He should voto against the motion himself, ‘Aset. Ald. Barker seconded the motion. Asst. Ald. Writs moved to lay Asst, Ald, Mabbatt's motion on the table. Asst, Ald. J. W. Brows said, he did not consider the paper properly before the Board. ‘The question. said he, has arisen as to, whether Ald. Compton had the right toact. as Mayor, at the time he signed the Kighth Ave- nue ordinance, and pending the decision of that ques- he did not deem it competent for this Board to take ction on the question now before the Board. e motion to lay upon the table prevailed, but was subsequently reconsidered und lost. The motion was then renewed to take up and pass the preamble and reso- lutions. notwithstanding the veto of the Mayor. ‘This mo- tion prevailed A motion to reconsider the last vose was then put and lost Sapreme Court—Special Term.

M. ‘There is nothing new in the stock market to-day. Holders continue firm at quotations ourrent on Saturdsy, and very little stook is offered at the board, or im the atrect. This is a very favorable feature, particularly for the searon, and is indicative of an upward movement when the market is more active, We shall look for a fa- vorable change in prices as soon as the season is sufll ciently advanced, and operators return from the coun- try. Money is plenty enough, and cheap enough, and we cee ne reasom why stocks should not move up with everything else. Real estate is too high to touch, and we see no margin for speculation in houses or lots, Our staple articles of produce are so abundant that it would be very difficult to get up an artificial movement in any one of them. It therefore appears to us that stocks of all kinds stand @ better chance than they have for some time past. The rapid accumulation of money must be employed in someway, Our people are not apt to let their means remain idle in their own hands, or om de- posit in banks; and if no other way of using them pro- fitably turns up, they will temporarily. if not permanent- ly, place them in some stock. Another reason why the great supply of capital seeking employment will be most likely to affect the stock market, is the low price ruling for a majority of those on the list. Notwithstanding the periods of speculation which we have experienced within the past two years, aud the active movement which has, from time to time, been realized in several’ of the leading railroad stocks, there is a margin in a number of first rate, good, sound, safe securities, for a most profitable speoulation, At the first board te day, Hudson Railroad advanced ‘4 per ceut; Reading Railroad, 14; Florence and Key- port, ‘s; Montgomery Mining, 34; Pennsylvania Coal Company, Virginia Sixes, 1. At the second vourd, Nicaragua went up 14 per cent; Erie Railroad, 45; all others closed at prices current in the morning. The reeeiptsat the office of the Assistant Treasurer of js port to-day, amounted to $102,517 11; payments, 0.59—balance, $4,352,123 98, teamship Ohio, from Aspinwall, brought $219,299 in gold dust on freight, and it is estimated $100,000 in the hands of passengers. The earnings of the Erie Railroad Company for the monih of Jely, 1852, smounted to $301,825 38, against $228.400 88 for the corresponding month in 1851, showing an increase in the month this year, of $73,365 05; of the receipts in July, 1852. $152,781 13 was for passengers and the mail, and $149,044 25 for freight. We notice that books for subscription were opened at the office of Messrs. De Launay, Iselin & Clark, No. 63 Wail street, on the 19th inst , for the purpose of obtaining subscribers to build a line of subterranean telegraph from Aspinwall to Panama, New Granada, and along the grade ot the Panama railroad, Reading rooms for the accom- modation of passengers are to be connected with the tele- graph offices at Aspinwall and Panama, and from the es- timates of revenue to be derived from both sources, it must prove a very profitable investment for capitalists. It is estimated that it will pay upwards of 24 per cent per annum upon the amount of subscription. A prospectus, giving all the desired information, can be obtained at the office of De Launay, Iselin & Clark, where capitalists have been invited to call. It is contemplated to lay the line underground, the wires being covered with gutta por- cha and buried in the earth, similar to the system intro- duced'in Prussia, Germany, and other European coun- tries, and which have been found far superior, and kept in order at a trifling expense, compared with the present defective system of poles and wires, and which are distin- guished as air lines.

In July, 1852, the value of exports was $9,478,905, of which $6,004,170 was spoole. During tho month, this year, the ehipments of specie amoupted to only $2,971,499, showing a falling off in that item of $8,082,671. ‘The exports of merchandise im July, 1851, amounted to $3,474,585, and in July, 1852, about $4,000,000, This is altogether a more favorable exhibit, placing our export trade upon a much better basis. The movements during the past month in breadstuffs have been unusually large, but for which the aggregate value of exports would have boen most limited. Cotton has not gone forward very rapidly. This is usually a dull time for shipping cotton, it being about the close of the old crop, and the commencement of the new. In small articles, about the usual variety and quantity has boon exported. principally to South America, Central Amorioa and the West Indies, The movement in the grest staple products of the country affect the value of exports, one way or the other, more than all others put together, Since writing the above we have received the aunexed official statement of exports from this port during the month of July, 1852.
