OUN APECIAL RaronT REMOVAL OF DANGEROUS BUILDINGS The Board of Aldermen met on Tuesday evontng, Bttive o’clock. pursuant to adjournment, but did pot @rganize till a quarter of an bour after the sppointed , ‘time, when tho l’resident took his seat. i Among the resolutions presented waa one diroet- ing tho appointment of thrvo inspoctors of buildings, ri whose duty it should be to report such houses oy May be considered unsafe, or in any woy dangosous } to fife, and empowering the Mayor and two Alder- men to have them removed. Alterman Wand movod shat it be referred to tho Committeo on Law. Alderman SrunTUV AN? said it wos hard to doter- mize who had power in this matter. The City In- ctor was supposed to possess the power; yet, when applied to, 1t wag found to be otherwise. The Mayor says bo has no power, avd the oration Attorney tedla us tho sume story. Now, in this state of things, it appears to nc, continued Alderman 8., tbat como clear understanding should be bat on the . Subject, for the bencfit of the public. 1 havo asked the propor sutboritics if there was any law iu rela- tion to the matter under consideration, but could got no satisfactory information about it. I hope the wesolution will be sent to the Committco on (r- cea, that we may obtain some clear and de particulars upon the subject Alderman Warp—If what tue gentleman has sid ie really tho case, why is the Commissioner of Re- pairs and ot Ning directed to take down a chimney twe bandred feet high, by the pussage of a reso! tion? Wo had bet:er pass the ordinapes tir eause if we do not, we virtually say ono which is directdy contradicted by our ac quire an ordinance before wo can act upon this mat. ter I feel satistiod that the magistrares of th cit havo the power to order all daogerous buiidiags 6 be tahon down, whonover tho satoty of moy ra quire it. The fact is, moet of the Ald do not now the powor thay pos 3 the pudlie bive ol- weys regarded them with fear aod sppr-honsion, while they wore perfactly uncons 3 of their an thority, and walked along the stra, i raat of their baing suc objects of tain eorrsetly if rity. For my part, I All that ia necesss we have the req have no doubt: of it. Alderman Boycn—I went to the Mayor in rela 10 this matter, and be sad oe bud no power. Now, this satisies mo that I have no power either T hope. under thera circumstanses, this resolu- ties with be adopted. Is can do no harm, aad [ think if will obviate the difficu'ty with which we have to contend. Alderman SrortEvixt—Tho resolution of tho » Gentleman from the Fifth is made for the purpose of removing dangerous buildiogs and nuisaneos; but We are told by Alderman Ward we cannot do so by @ resolution—tbat we must have 2n ordinanwe. We derire to know something certainabout thia, and to Patertascingly. Pos this purpove, it is neces ry that tho course I have recommended should be taken. The gentlemen has said that aldermen are generally regarded as objects of fear by the people; , and ifhe refers to himesir he is certainly at liberty to think so. But, tobe serious, the question before the Beordis one cf avery important character. Forthe Jest three or four years the Common Council have Deon frequently callad upon to take some action upon this matter. J recollecs in one instanca the Mayor wudertook to remove » building in tho Sixteenth ward, for which he afterwards became involved ia Titigotion. It ia true the Corporasion was successful; but the Mayor was oxceedingly caroful, ever after, Dew bw interfered in such mactors. Ifthe adoption et this revolution ig net important, then I don’t mow what is, The diecussion concluded here, and the resolution ‘Was referred to the Committee on Ordinances. REMOVAL Ol STREET OBSTRUCTIONS Alderman Barr presented a resolution directing tho removal, within twenty four hours, of certain tions in Murray street, in the form of build- ing materials, which extend over two-thirds of the aghfare. Alderman Stcrtevanr said the building materi- ale in Murray street wero great nuisance to those who had to pass through it. The owners of the lots, he continued, are building from Broadway as far as Church street, and have blocked up two-thirds of « the carriage way, although they are only entitled te one-third of it. Although the mode of procsed- ing directed in the resolution iz alittle too fast, et I think the owners should be made to suffer for Phe blocking up tho etreet. Alderman Barn.—Thero is no room for a carriago to get through that portion of the street, and the ineonvenience to those going that way in vehicles must be very eee Alderman Buistey—Those owners of property think because they can gets permit to have one- third of the street fortheir building materials that they may take two thirds. Now, shail the public be incommoded in this way for the benefit of a fow individuals ! Alderman WARD opposed the resolution because he thought it was impossible to carry it into effect in the brief time stated. Alderman Barr—The Superintendent of Streets — it in that time ; he is smarter than you think 8. Alderman Wanp—Tkero is no living man can do it in that time; it is utterly impossible. lerman Bristex—The fact is that the builders are perfectly indifferent with regard to the conve- nience of the public. Some two months since I eonld hardly get through Murray street with my wagon, and I know they bid defiance to every one to vent them from acting just asthoy like. Let the rintendent of Streets clear them away, and Icave tho thoroughfaro open for the use of the pub- Tie. I do not wish to oppress the mechanic, but when he takes privileges which do not belong to him, and which injure others, I think he should be made to go back to where he belongs. And in say- ing this I do not wish to be misunderstood, for I am « not one that would put the mechanic below the mer- - ehant, or the merchant above the mechanic. Alderman Boycr—If these parties have done wrong, we should not endeavor to remedy it by acting unjustly to them. We should content our- selves with clearing the street 80 a3 to make it pas- gable and not take up all their materials. The: whould no doubt be mado to sotmpty with the ordi- nance; but I think this process would be too hasty. Alderman TirmManx—Has the amendment | of- fered been lost? The Prestpent—What amendment? Alderman TrexAnn—J mado an amendment that all the materials should be takon up, with the excep- tion of what they may have # permit for. Tho amendment was put afd adopted, and, after a brief delay, the resolution was also disposed of in same way. DRIVING CATTLE THROUGH THE CITY. Alderman Warp oitered a resolution to prohibit the driving of cattle through the eity, below Four- teerth street. Only last week, said he, five or persors were killed by cattle which were dri through the city at un able hours. The Com- mon Council have had attention called to this watter already, but no definite action has over been taken upon it In my ward the cattle are driven through the streets on the Sabbath, and that juat ata time when the people of the fifteen churches I pave the honor to represent, are coming from prayers. fi Alderman Corn; Where were these peopl> killed that you speak of! ‘ - Alderman Waxv--] obtained my information from the papers, end must refer you to the same source There may be a difference of opinion upon this ordinance, but { believe it is a matter of great ablic importance, one which concerns the lives of our follow citizens, and which should therefore mect with prompt action. A resolution was pre- ‘sented, a long time ago, to this Board, and it was referred to a committoe, who reported upon it, but 1 have never heard anything of it since. Alderman Shaw, ond another momber of the Board, made a very able report, appended to which was an ordi- nance and 9 communication from the Mayor, but it ‘was not acted upon. Alderman S7crrevant—I move that the docu- ment to which the [ah ta alluded be roferred to the Committee on Ordinances. Alderman Wann—I think they will bear me out in what I eay, that the safoty of our citizons impe- tatively demands the adoption of an ordinance for the ibition of this nuisance. It doos not sg further investigation. We can got no moro light Ungineer was in the abit of indulging in reflec tions sgainel the charsctery of the membore in docu- ments of this dereription The repert was reterred to the Committe on the Vire Department COMPTBOLLER’S BrroRT. ‘The report of tho Committes on Ascossmonts in favor of granting farther appropriations to the Comptralier to meot the expenses of the city zo- vert ment, between thiaon3 sho first of January next, was discussed at considerable length. Alderman Sruxrevant suid that a great portion of the expenditures wos caused by local improve- ments, and that thero were about $450,000 for as- Secsments which were dwo to the corporation there- ie If, bo continued, stepa can bo takon to recover this money, wo rbould lore no time about the | } matter. It has already been acted upon by the other- Board, and the Committee on tho Law Department of that Board recommend tbat immediate measures be taken to com the payment of the amount of assessments. Tho | reason | desizo this course should be taken is, that almost every month the assessments expire by tho statute of limitations. {t ia, therefore, necessary that immediate action be taken. The CxERk here commenced vosding the Report of the Comptroller, giving an account of the expendi- tures for the yoar up to the present time, and stat- ing tho amount of syproreaslons roquired for tho remaining portion. Tho following is an abstrast of the report, from which it will be seen that | $264,000 aro required to mect the oxpenses of tho | city government betwoen this and the first of Janu- ary next:— Annual expenditure for cleaning streets for | 1852 ie + $130,000 00 ++ 177,003 87 | $2,306 13 | Required to end the year, $59 000 00 Appropriation for lamps and gas in 185: $200,000 00 | ‘Amonnt already expended. ‘160.902 32 BRIAR O0 o0e's 5 4's vena nie neces weeens dae $32,097 38 Apprepriation required to end of year $50,000 00 Annual appropristion for Fire Department ip 1852 is,.... eee .

Alderman Bank—There are some gontlemen (ooking at Aldermen Denman) who were very par- ticular about the expenditure of money from the public treasury on & former oceasion, who shouid not bo s erent upon a subject of such great importance, ina pecuniary point of view, to the city. The Alderman of the Sixteenth (Denman) once spokeef the long arms which some members had for reaching into the city treasury, and it sur- prised him that that geatleman shouid make such enormous appropriations witbout investigation. Alderman Denman—I honestly believe, if my ad- vice had been followed, there would be no necessity for these appropriations. I suppose this will be a sufficient answer to tho imputation of the gentle- man. ae the reading of the document was resumed, when Alderman Tiemann said he did not think any of the members were paying attention to it. Alderman Boyce stated, for the information of the gentleman, that, asthe document was so very long, and as the weather was so very warm, he thought the Alderman from the Sixth (Barr) was doing pertectly right in taking seme fresh air atthe window. Alderman StcrtEvant—I move the further read- ing. be dispensed with. he motion was snd carried, and the Clerk, evidently much to his own relief and the satisfaction SEAnOY if not all, the members, laid the document aside. Alderman Bristey—It seems to me, that we ought to inquire a little into the deficiency in tho | until the next meeting. Ho would then call it up to | | please his “‘savagerous” friend from the Fitteonth. present time to tho Ist of January, 1853. ‘The an | nexed table gives the number of cart hoada of dirt | taken from the streets, from the commencement of | the year to the Bist of Jnly:— | Levis of Leads of | Me Dirt. | fansr $057 4809 5998 SAL 6425 7.0x8 | 4426 are | Wybas 5.371 4108 4794 | BiG 2360 10.225 5.579 11 084 7576 6o24 1.907 | 9.054 7.468 | This, the Compvroller says, is 20,000 loads more than was ever taken up in apy ene your since the organization of the vity government THE NINETEENTH WARD ELECTION. Alderman Sturrrvanr said he had intended to call up the Nineteenth ward election case, but in the absence of Alderman Tiewann, be would defer it | Alderman DoneEnty desired to know if the gen- tleman intended calling it up that he might have ap opportunity, of making speeches. Alderman Sturtevant —I will call it up when- ever it is manifest, that theo mombers of the Board will give it a fuir and full consideration. The meeting adjourned tili Friday afternoon, at | five o’clock. BOARD OF ASSISTANT ALDERMEN. Tho Board met Dutesey evening, the Presidont in the chair. There was little business of import- ance transacted until nearly the closo of the ceedings, when Aasistant Alderman RopmANn moved tho suspension of the standing rule, toenable him | to present a report. This was carried A roport of ‘| the Commissioners of Ferries, concurring to altor the Janding place of the Jackvon Ferry, upon tho Brooklyn side of the river, from Hudson avenue to Bridgo street, waa then prevented. Assistant Alderman Bxown moved the adoption of tho report. Assistant. Alderman Riya — I cannot aee, Mr. President, the absolute neesssity of such haste in this matter. The subject is very important, and I | sbould wish to have moro leisure to consider the matter than what I have Iately enjoyed. As far as I can hear, the people of the eity of Brooklyn are not anxious for this change; and a motion, made in the Common Covneil there, by Mr Smith—a man of acknowledged influence—met with very slight sup- port. At present Iam not prepared to vote, but if compelled to do 80, it must be adverse te this pro- position If I had time to consider the subject, perhaps I may change wy mind» . Assistant Alderman RovmMan—I wish, sir, to | address you individually, a3 well as in your eapacity of President of the Board, upon the subject of ferrisge. No man in this room, pornaps no man in New York, knows ag much about the very forry we are speaking of as you do. I know it also for twenty years; and both of us are wellaware that the difficulty of navigating tho East river to Hudson avenue is so great, owing to the state of the tide, that it cannot be improved, nor ean any boat, except the ecyesores now ruoning there, owing to the shelving rocks at the Hudson avenue landing. We aro not legislating fur Brook- lyn, and consequently we must exercise our discra- tion in the matter, and go with the progressive spirit ofthe age. I move, sir. the report be adopted. Assistant Alderman Rinc—lIf wo are not legisla- ting for Brooklyn, still we are bound to do justicote it, and its inhabitants. As:istant Alderman Banker—Sir, I bave spoken to many persona, well informed upon this subject, not easily misled, and not likely to mislead others, and they have supplied to me much necessary infor- mation. Acting. sir, upon my own conviction, and what I have lately heard, I will vote against this scheme as one of monopoly. It is a speculative movement to make money. This petition, what is it, sir? It is the petition, in reality, of Smith, the owner of this ferry, and in my opin ion many of the names appended to it are not of eople interested, even as tenants, in the move. ‘he ferry has accommodated tho public for from fifty to seventy years; but now it must bo altered to enable monopoly to lay hold upon the Catharineaad Jackson both. I vote against it, sir, as being a pro- ject not intended for the publis good, but for the purposes of monopoly. Assistant Alderman Ropman replicd—It argued a forgone conclusion, in the mind of the genticman who just sat down, to speak of how long the ferry had endured. Who would like to sce the Iulton and South Ferries go back to what they were twenty yearsago ? No one whorosollectsthem This is a speculation—all, sir, is speculation in our great cities. It is.only required to chenee this ferry to 2 point on the East river which will secure a good janding, increase our trade with that of Brooklyn I tate Now I will just state, that of $200,000 appropriated Jast your, the Board which was whig, gave out $135,000 by contract, before we came inte office. Now may we not find, if we in- uire, that the old Board had something to do in these expenditures. We should place this matter in its Peeper light before the people. I don’t think that we ehould take the censure of all this ; we pro- bably have done late erts hastily, but I am fully satistied that the great bulk of the money was sopandenad by the whigs, and not by the democrats. We find im this document, that $65,060 were oxpend- ed for streets, and Iaskevery member in this if they havo ever seen the pavements of Now York in such a filthy condition. The Street Commissionor allows the streets to become s0 dilapidated that large holes are found in some parts, out of which three or four cart loads of dirt could be taken. The whig party have been the cause of all this. Alderman Stcurtevsxt—I did suppose that the question before the Bowed. was the adoption of an ordinance for appropriations, but it appears to have degenerated into a political discussion, waked up by our sleepy friend of the Ninth ward. There has not been one solitary word said upon this subject, either in praize of the whigs or against the demo- crats, until he commenced it. I had always supposed that.the members of the last Common Council were as honest as the membors of the present body, although I have heard that some of them had arms long enough to streteh into the city treasury. I can very easily perceive the cause of this increased expenditure; the city has extended to twice its size jn twenty years, and a large annual appropria- tion is requisite to defray the expense of the gov- erpment. Alderman Bristzy—I don’t charge the Alder- men of tae last Board with being corrupt. I only charged them with giving out contracts which the puble might suppose were made by us. And wich to say here that Mr Adams, ‘the Commis- sioner of Repairs and Supplies, wasa whig. While they were thundering away at the @ommuesioner of Streets and Lamps, who is a democrat, they could see nothing amiss in what their own officers did. It is very true that I have been asleep upon thia soley but I am wide awake now, and intend to Hep 80, The document was laid on the table tobe printed. Alderman SrverEvan? presented a resolution, to the effect that the Committee on Streets be directed to inquire into the expedioncy of adopting a more economical method of cleaning tae streets, and re- port. A result of their investigations ag svon as possible. The rezolntion was carried. He then gave notica that he would call up the document on the election in tho Nivoteenth ward to morrow evening. He considered it but an act of justice to the gentlemen interested that it should be taken up. Alderman Bristey thought the gentleman had stated bis intention to call it up every evening until it was disposed of. The Board urned, to mect at five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. Wrowxrspay, Sept. 8, 1852, The Board assembled at the usnal hour yesterday afternoon, the President in the chair. THE HEALTH WARDENS. 1 iceman OaKLEY presented the following reso- utieni— Rerolved, That the Comptroller be, and he is hereb; directed, to draw bis warrant in favor of all the Health Turpectors, appointed by the Bonrd of Health on the 21st of July, 1852, for the amount of their respective bills, at the rate ot two dollars per day, upon the sume being veri- fied under oath by the said inspectors, Alderman SruRTEVANT opposed the immediate adoption of the resolution. He thought there was @ very great ig ok in hasty action upon it, and he would, therefore, move that it be referred to the ccmmittce that has charge of the application of the Health Wardens, tor payment of services joard upon the subject by ers it to the committee. e gentleman from tho Twelfth (Aldorman Tio- mann) ig on bs Searmoaaed and I would like to hear is views upon it. his Jdorman Bover—L would like to know how this resolution is to be carried into effect in the event of its adoption. A large number of tho cattle aro brought into tho city at the foot of Duano-street by bonts, and it would be next to impossible to pre- yont them from being driven th the streets. ‘They would have te be taken to Hoboken, and con- veyed thence by bonts to the upper part of tho “Tie rerolution was referred to sho Committee on Ordinances.

Alderman Oakury—As far. as the Health Warden of tho Fourth ward is concerned, I am vei certain that he rendered very little services, an that his claims to any salary aro very slight. ‘The motion to refer was lost, and the resolution amended so a3 to read “ at the rate of $2 per day, Pageble me , &o.,” was adopted. ion of Alderman BrvntRVANT was eamrton tay te odes — he had eee to » event ¢ ROW intended to Vote against it. “ STREET ad coerce premanted fom the Commissioner TOTS Re err epetntion 6% S20 Pn fe yar also, and give a comfortable mode of travel to the eople. 7 The report was alopted upon a division, by a vote of eleven to six.

About one thousand persons wore present, mostly very young wen, wod the enthusiagm exhib- ited was very slight, a1.0 the observations of the speskers, especially the earnest oratorial interroga- tories of Mr. Culver, met with no response. A fow cheers wego given now and thon for tho whig Presi- dential candidates, but they were 1l¢d off by some gentlemen on the platform, snd then wore but par- tial. Tho most sanguine whig could searcely say that the meeting was u successful demonstration of feeling, 80 faras outward appearance went. A ban- ner was suspended acroes tie street, and a band of music enlivened the platform. Mr. J. D. Honrook wus nominated president of the meeting, which having been called to ordor, wae first addressed by Mr. Joseru FLoxey—Ho said he had beon through many of the States, and was able to speak of the feeling which prevailed in them.

Gen. Cass said that the whigs wanted a system of internal improve- ments worked ont, that might mako the profit; but be did not say wheiher bis party was for or against it. He (Cass) said that the great bias wanted to get up a great monopoly for the agrieul- tural interest; the grent head of the party told us all that. and then talked about the alien laws—a sorry subject just now Lewis Cass, when @ boy, wore the black cockade in proof of his father’s fode- ralism; now be could make a groat demoeratic epeech. But where wes evidence that his sins-had been forgiven? We reqnired the benefits of inter- nal improvements, ard labor to do them. should we send bushels of wheat threo thousand miles to obtain those manufactures which we should have at home? We raised seventy-two mil- lion of dolJare of raw cotton Mr. Walker said that when it was ready to be put on the back, the value increased to 604 million of dollars. Now the democratic policy wus fur the cheap Jabor of Eng- land to work up this raw material, the whig poliey was to encourage home manufactures, and keep tho moneyatbome. All interests were interwoven with each other. Only fifteen per cent went into the ca- pitalists’ pocket, but the men who worked picked up cighty-fivo ecnts on the dollar. Now, which party went for this policy? (Three voices—the whigs.) At one of President Polk’s levees that lit- tle man was eclipsed by the handsome LY eowigers, of General Scott, who found the favor of the ladios. He (Mr. Culver) went for General Scott because he was the tallest man and had the warmest heart. The speaker next referred to his military achieve- ments, in the usual strain, and satirised (fen. Pierce, who was tho son of Benjamin Pierce, who intro- dueed into New Bampsbire the odious Catholic test.

To settle the ae ful Mexican war oie ye gentcely, and quickly, we were obliged to send down Gen, Scott whose splen- ad victories and achievements had immort: um. Some cheers were thon got up for the’speakor, and for Scott and Graham, but they were fairly drawa, out, and then but faintly given. Mr. J. W MonGan, of the Sevonth ward, was the next and last speaker. He asked, had not General Scott voted every thiae for the benefit of his coum try? (Lor several cries of “no, no!’ and one or two of “tyes!”) Had he not voted for harbor and river ree eaena (No, no!) He (the er) said ho had. Had Piers ever voted in favor of the working man?

By the ized Meeting of the Whig “Unionists,” at the Breadway House. GREAT EXERTIONS TO GET UP THR STRAM. Tho “Unionists” held a meeting last evening at the Broadway House, to respond to the whig nomi- nations for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. The principal meeting was hold in the large roont, anda minor meeting was held in the street. A band of music was in attendance, and the room was crowded, and the “demonstration” was certainly more enthusiastic than we have lately witnessed at whig gatherings. Mr. Joun RopMan was appointed President of the mectirg, and presented resolutions of the usuad character, promising support to the whig nomina tions, as tending to protect the interosts of the Union, which were unenimeusly carried. The Cnainmay, in opeving the meeting, hehad been a whig since the day ho was said that mm, for | bis father and mother were both whigs. He coun- cilled union smong them, aud victory wascer Mr. Fry, of Western New York, aaid thoir Scott and Mr. ham to the offices of President and Vice President of the UnitedStates. Providence had led them into a high position before the nationg of the carth, ani therefore let them exercise their deliberate judg- ment. He was in favor of the world renowned Captain of Mexico; be was in favor of the Ameri- can and not of the English candidate. But a fow years fo their’ party were deuominated ‘British whigs,” but let them ask the workmen of Py L vania and the British Parliament and press wh» were the “British party’ Who depressed hom> industry and favored fcreign industry?
