WARD, J Ordinances Alserman Bax proposed to send the report and resolutions back to the Committee ou Urdinancea. Alderman Densian hoped the matter would be referred back. Alderman Tremann snid the subject belonged more apppopnately to the Committeo on the Fire Depart- ment, tban to the Committee on Ordinances: Alderman Bano, of the Committee on the Firo Department, disclaimed the paternity of the resotu- tions, but said the chairman of the committeo might know comething about it. Alderman Satria said he was willing to assume the responsibility ; he undorstood the waats of the fire department, and would undertake to report an ordinanoe which would meet the case. Alderman Denman said he was glad that this op- portunity was afforded for him to submit a minority 1eport on the subject under discussion. 1 ask that this report may be laid on the table and printed. Alderman RD thought the prosecution of the minority report at this time, and in tho manner in which it was introduced, was indecorous and out of lace. y Alderman Denman said ho did not offer the mi- nority report until information seemed to be cailed for. A motion was made to lay the report of the Com- mittee on Ordinances oa the table, which motion wos lost. A motion to adopt the report of the Committes on Ordinances, and to refer the matter to the Com- mittee on the Fire Department, wus adopted by s yote of 13 to 1. ‘The following is the minority report submitted by Alderman Denman.

Sketches of Railroad Improvements — The a“, 7 en Capacity for Business—Incidente bend Montreal and Quebec—Necesstig Yankee Emer prise, §c. - The opening of various lines of railroads runsing from the States to the St. Lawrence river, has ere- ated routes of trade and travel in a diroetion whieh must ultimately prove highly advantageous te the northern portien of our own country, as well as awe, ken our Canadian neighbors to a spirit of entorprise. Of these avenues, the Ogdensburg road stand pre-ona~ inent. Tho business now done, both in p and freight, oxceeds the higiost anticipation of ite projectors and owners. For the period of a twelve month, its conection with the Vermont Conteal, im orossing tho outlet of Lake Champlain, was a matter of much ombarrassmont. The construction of a drawbridge at Rouse’s Point, se as to accommodate tho railroad transportation, and, at the same time, not obstruct the passage of veasels dosiring te ge down to St. Johns, was a matter which engaged the attention of the Legislature of the Stato of New Youle during the term of two or three sessions. The oppe- nents ofythe bridge being noarly all Trojans, whee ing a bridge of their own across the Hudsom’ have striven for many yoars against the cree tion of bridges acress any water uorth or south | of them, imagining « detriment thecoby to the business facilities of their village. The Og- dousburg and Vermont Contral roads ace now oem- nected by a floating bridge of three hundred feet long, which ia moved by machinery propelled by aa engive on bourd, the ingenious inveniioa ot Capseda Proctor, an old lake gator. He is about pro. uring a patent, and his plau will be considoratly used by roilroad companies, in passing all oavigatts ctrenas, A floating bridge ot this description oan opened and closed in the short apace of five mi- tea. ‘Lhe opemivg of the Ogdensburg road ta converting the lute obscure villege of Ogd into a martof wade avd commerce; aud your ortwo, ita apirited citizens will ask the Logistavare for @ city incorporation.

She Champlain Kailroad, leading from Kouse’a Point to Montroal, loads through a portion of Canada which is fertile and abundant in agrioultural resources. This is the direct route by which sengers are conveyed between tho city of New York and Montreal in twelve hours. Another road ia nearly completed between Plattsburg and Montreal, which will ehorten the distance somo forty miles; and when completed, will take the largest share of the Now York travel. All these avonuos, togesher with the magniticont St. Lawrence river, afford facilities for visiting our Canadian neighbors, which aro becoming appreciated. The influx of visiters to Montreal ana Quebee, from the Atlantic cities and the States, during the presont season, is unsurpassed. The aocommodations have been entirely inadequate. Tho descent of the St, Lawrence, especially tha passage ovor andthrough Long Sou, the Cedar and Lachino Rapids, heretofore considered so extremely havardous, and highly dangerous for steamers, is pow complished daily without accidemt Before passing the Lachine Rapids, some tom miles sbove Montreal, an Indian pilot, namod Baptiste Guyome, came on board aad took the heim. Ho is the first man who over attempted t run ® steamer through those rapids, and is omploy- ed by the insurance companies. No insurance upom stesmers will bo taken unless this man takes o of the wheel.

They were built by the British government, and are far superior to amy of te kind on the American continont, amd, perlaps, in the world, with the exception of Livoe- pool. Tho harbor and docks are capabie of moorimg a thousend vesselz, but there was filty te bo seen, and thote epgeged in mere potty trade.

Many appear weil ccntented, snd scarcely think of the calamity which unhoused them three months since. It ia ex- pected that either the colonial or home government { will advance a sufficient fund upon joan, to rebuild that portion of the city which the fire destroyed.
