The Co! jon CouvelHl. ALPBRMAN WM. M. TWEED, OF THE SEVENTH WARD, ‘AND THE NEW FERRY BETWEEN NEW YORK AND WILLIAMBBURG. In the Board of Aldermen, on T ue-day evening, this new ferry bill — maninly through the exer- tions of Aldefman Tweed, who was not only a mem- ber of ie committee that reported in its favor, bat advocated its go with all his powerfal enorgies, | amid one of the most exciting debates ever known im the Common Council. Alderman Tween, during the protraeted debate, in substance, said: — Mr. President, whence comes this powerfal op- ma to the establishment of @ ferry that has | 40 long desired, as an accommodation to that numerous and usefal class of mechanics and mer- chants who are compelled so often to pass betwee New York and the most southerly section of Wil- | Mameburg? Sir, do the members of this Board ro- member the long list of petitions, during the present and past years, most carnestly praying for os. tablishmcnt of this ferry? And that these poti- tions wero from as respectable, honorable and indus- | trious classes of malay ascan be found in any So ef the civilized world? Instead of the deadly hos- | tility hitherto manifested to this bill, and on the i occasion, the ferry should have been es blished years since. Those who so earnestly desire thia ferry, live on and near the bound: Mine that divides Brooklyn and Williamsburg, a have no immediate conveyance to New York, without going a long distance north or south to the nearest ferry. To the humble me- ebanio, (who depends on his daily labor for his daily bread,) diving in the locality in question, it must bo apparent to every member here that it is extremely hard, especially in bad weather, te plod through sleet, and mud, and snow, to the far distant ferry, in order to reach his place of labor in New York, often arriving late, and receiving the denunciation of his “ boss” because he did not arrive earlier in the morning. The poor mechanic, and laboring man, and clerk, are thus often denounced, and their pride and maniy Pealings bo bruised, because they did not do what it ly impossible for them to do, in consequence of our remissnecs and injustice in not affording them tho means more direct communication from their homes to their workshops and places of business in New York. Iheara member sey that ‘the mechanics of Williamsburg should come: over to New York and live. Let me tell the member that it is not an easy thing for a man who has a warm heart in his bosom, and who loves his home, to sud- denly leave his old homestead, with which is asso- ciated the fervor and exhilirations of boyhood. Be- sides, the habitations in this city are sufliciently erowded, without the removal of the inhabitants of Williamsburg to New York. No, it would be far better for New York and Williamsburg if thousands of our mechanics and working men, with their be- Teved wives and children, should go to the pure stmosphese of Williamsburg. Why, sir, in_ this eonnection, I will inform this body that I was ast week solicited to visit a poor sick family, resid- ing in a large, cheaply constructed four story brick house, in the rear of oneofour prominent thorough- fares, and on entering, was informed that there wore Aifty families in the building. How, you may ask, they be thus densely packed? I will tell you in detail, asthe story rather puzzled me, until I was es- eorted into an apartment, where I found four fami- ies, charcoaled off into four small squares, and, to my utter amazement, I learned that one of the fami- lies thus charcoaled off had two That is the sacred truth, end will afford some idea of the packed and wretched condition ef thousands on thousands of human beings in this great metropolis, that boasts of so much happiness and prosperity. Hany member of the Board desire it, or any philan- ‘thropic citizens, who have a fow paooee to spare, I will cheerfully accompany them to this abode of misery and direaco; and within a few minutes from the time we leave the City Hall, I can introduce you tosuch pitiful spectacles as few can centem- fe or realize who are more highly favored by the . Bo, talk no more to ms, as gentlemen have ted, in this protracted debate, about the hay contented people of Williamsburg removing from their pure, iteig ceaniog ocean air, to New its outrageously high rents to earth. Sir, I do hope that members will dispagsionately and disinterestedly eonsider these grave matters, and it the in question, without further delay. The bill proposes that the ferry terminus shall be in the | extreme section of South Williamsburg, near the | pomeer line that separates North Brooklyn from | Bouth Williamsburg. The other terminus of the ferry shall be at Catherine street, in New York, be- tween the Grand street and Peck slip ferries, being | @ most central and convenient location to all classes ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. “ARRIVA or THE WASHINGTON AND “gacana.

STATE OF THE MARKETS, e., de, dice The United States mail steamship Washington, E. M. Fitch, commander, arrived at this port at ten o'clock yesterday morning, after a passage of thirteon days and eigh'een hours, from Southampton. The Washington left Bremon on the 8th inst., and after encountering a terrific gale of wind in the North after receiving the British and French mails, pas- sengers, &c., she finally departed at 4P. M., on the 13th inst. The Washington brings upwards of 140 passengers» and a very large and valuable freight, comprising 200 tons measurement of manufactured goods from Germany; 200 tons measurement of continental mer- chandise, transhipped at Southampton from the French steamer Nord, from Havre; aleo, 30 tons weight of tin; 239 bales of India rubber, and a quantity of other goods, furs, &c., shipped at Southampton. The London papers publish the official despatches brought by the Prince Albert, but they contain no news of Sir John Franklin. The whole Russian army has been ordered to go into mourning for the Duke of Wellington. The clipper ship Bella had arrived at Liverpool, with dates from Pernambueo to 9th September. There was no political intelligence. Tho Niagara, from Boston and Halifax, arrived at Liverpool at 6 A. M., on the Ith inst. The corn market at Mark Lane, on the 11th inst., had an upward tendency, with prices in some des. criptions 1s. per quarter higher, owing to the supplies from Essex and Kent being moderate, andthedemand having increased. Foreign wheat of the best sorts, also sold at 1s. per quarter advance. Malt, oats and beans, sold freely at full prices. English flour was in improved demand, and American flour was sold at fully previous rates. Floating eargoes of wheat and Indian corn were in request, at rather more money. In Ireland, the markets for breadstuffs are generally on the advance. The official returns of the quarter’s revenue ter- minating on the 10th inst. were very satisfactory, and showed an increase on the previous quarter of £28,929. The returns for the year onding Oct. 10 ex- hibits a decrease of only £437,397, notwithstanding & large deficiency, under the head of taxes, to the extent of £1,157,201, which may be attributed ina great degree to the remission of taxation by the budget voted in 1851. The money market was easy. Consols firmer, Spanish stock higher, foreign bonds firm, rail- way shares inactive.

And here it | may be proper to state, that the proprietors of the Brooklyn and Catherine street ferry, are expendin; some twenty thousand dollars in the jmprovement o} | ‘their ferry, and that the proprietors of the new ferry | ease now before us also propose to expend twenty | thousand dollars, (if they aro permitted by us to es- | tablish it,) in order to have a ferry that will be cre- | ditable to South Williamsburg, and convenient and | es to those passing between New York and Wi dgmabare. I am authorized to aay, more- | over, that they have as fast ferry boats as can be found in the East or North rivers. In view of all | this, I do sinsercly trust that all the members of this body who would promote the convenience and | common welfare of our citziens, on the New York | and Long Island shores, will seriously consider these propositions in the light of justice, and ty public utility, and accommodation'to a large body of our fellow-citizens, who are constant passing be- tween New York and South Williamsburg. AndI do hope that we shall vote unanimously for this im- portant ferry lease, and without the utterance of another ryllable against establishing this desirable eonvenience.

Before Chief Justice Oakley. ACTION FOR MALICIOUS PROSECUTION—TROUBLE AMOKG LAWYERS. Ocr. 26 —Lwius EL. Bulkeley vs. Eugene Ketel tas, C. Bainbridge Smith, and Jas. H. Brush.— ‘This was an action for damages for malicious pro- secution. The parties are alt members of the legal " asegeige and the cause, it will be recollected, was ried on a former occasion, when the jury rendered ® verdict for $3,750 in favor of the plaintiff. The verdict was rs pre from, on exceptions taken to the charge of the Judge (Vanderpoel), before whom it was tried; it went uliimately to the Court of Appeals, where the majority’ of that. tribunal directed 2 new trial on the exceptions taken. It therefore comes again before this court. Mr. Jas. T.

If ho ad been advised by any lawyer not connected with him, instead of consulting Mr. C. Bainbridge Smith, (his son-in jaw, and one of the defendants in this fuit,) he would have been advised to pay it. Mr. Edward Sanford who tried the cause for Bradley, called Mr. Bulkeley to the stand to testify to a cer- tain fact ; an objection was made to the admissibil- ity of his evidence, but it was overruled. Mr. Bulk- eley wes questioned as to his interest in the suit, and what was stated by him in that cxamination will be testified to by Mr. Edward Sandford on this trial as it was on the lart. Mr. Bulkeley stated on that ex- amination that he had no interest in the result of that trial, and the jury would sec by the evidence whother in his statement he had committed wilful and de- liberate perjury. On the 21st of Juno, 1819, Mr Bulk: eley sent notice to Mr. Koteltas that he had received an astignmncnt of the judgment from Bradley, and that the payment to him (Bulkeley) alone would be sa- po On a day or two after that notice was served, Mr Brush, one of tho defendants, called at the office of Bulkeley and said that he camo on be- half ef Mr. Smith. Mr. Bulkeley complained of Smith, and said he would have nothing to do with him. Brurh said he rlso come in behalf of Mr. Keteltas, and offered Bulkeley $150 in fail settle- ment for the verdict and costs. Bulkeley resisted ‘the proposition to settle; and sooing afvorwards that there wes an effort on the part of the defendants to pay Bradley, and to prevent him from handling the money, thwarted them in their design, and avon afterwards the crimine! prosecution against him wag ret on foot Mr. Butkele offered, on the 9th of June, 1848, to take $250 in satisfac- tion of the jadgwent, and it not being prid ho issued an execution, which greatly ofiended o man of the position and great wealth of Mr. | Koteltas. On the 23d of Jane, 1843, Me. Bugono | Koteltay, the deiendant, procured the aflidavive of his brother, Williaa A. Keteltas, and Bradley, to the effect that Bulkeley had sworn on the trial that Be bad no pecuniary interest in the result of th triel, and that he had promised Bradley that ia would not rge him anything for hie profossional | servicer in ihe suit.

Taccept with eagerness the opportunity afforded me, Ld ¢ Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, for thanking your great city for ite cordial reception and its magnificent hospitality, and I am happy, at the end of my journey, to communicate the impres- sions I have received. The object of my tour, as you aro well aware, was to make myself acquainted, by personal obser- vation, with the beautiful provinces of the south, and to ascertain their reel wants. It has, however, led to a far more important result. I may say, indeed, with a candor as far removed from pride as from false modesty, that never did a le more directly, more spontaneously, more unanimously, testify s determination to free itself from all uneasiness respecting the future, by placing in the same hands as heretofo! power which sym- pathizes with its feelings. (Applause.) The people has now at last learned to value at their price the false hopes with which it has been eajoled, and the dangers with which it was threat- ened. It seems, then, that in 1852 society proached its dissolution, because each party co! soled itself with the belief that amid the gener: wreck it might still plant its standard on the ficat- ing fragments.

To promote the wel- fare of the country it is not necessary to apply new stems; but the chief point, above all, is wo pro- luce confidence in the present, and security for the future.

A dreadfal hurricane was experienced on the lst inst. at Corunna, which caused considerable damage. Shortly after four o’clock on Saturday afternoon, the 9h inst., an occurrence took place which created considerable excitement among the mer- chants on ’ohange at Liverpool. Two gontlemen, both eminent metal brokers of the town, Mr Senior end Mr. Daunt, while talking upon matters of busi- ness, happened to disagree upon same points, when a few warm expressions were interchanged which resulted in one of the disputants applying to tho ether an epithet which no Moglish gentleman can paticatly rest under. The insulted party instantly retorted with a blow, and both gentlemen were soon in a fighting position Tkey were immediately separated by several gontlemon who had witnessed the fracas, and hurried off in different directions. The accounts of the progress of trade throughout England during the week, present no new feature. From Nottingham, the home demand is descrided os being exceedingly satisfactory, while the orders from the United States, where the existing supplica are small, promise to be very extensive. In tho Trish linen market there has been much buoyancy, at improving prices. The old American firm of Timothy Wiggin & Co. has just been reconstructed in London, Mr. Augus- tus Wiggin and Mr I. Boykett, formerly in the Paris house of Welles & Oo., having associated themselves as partners. The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotterdam produce markets allude to a greater feel- ing of confidence among operators. The demand for coffee, although not extensive, was sufficient to support prices, and in some cases a slight improve- ment had been established. Several large transac- tions had taken place in sugar at an advanco. Rice had not been 80 freely purchased, but for indigo there was an active inquiry, and quotations were rising. The account from Antwerp aod Hamburg represcnt a similar state of trade. The letters from Rouen state that the market for manufactures was less active, and that prices had in consequence experienced a slight decline.

Of the vineyards in the Gironde it appears that Medoo is the most favored; and in this instance there is reason to hope that neither in quality nor quantity will the deficiency be considerable. In the neigh- borhood of Chablis the wines of 1851 have risen considerably in price. Wine which two months since might have been bought at 50. the hogshead of 272 litres, is now worth from 65f. to 70f. It is expected in the Maconnais that the produce will bo equal to that of last year, and that in some vine- yards the quality will be superior. At Saumur, old wine, which was quoted seme time sinco at 30f. the cask, cannot be had now under 50f. Advices from Champagne are to the effect that the produce there will be remarkably deficient. The wine growers in the neighborhood of Sezanne do not expect moro than one-fifth of an ordinary crop; and St. Aube is the only vineyard in Champagne in which the orep is expected to be equal to that of an ordinary year. Austria. THE AMERICANS IN| VIENNA—-THE DISTINGUISHED MEN OF AUSTRIA. Advices from Vienna are to the 6th inst. A let- ter from there says :— It is to be presumed that the government of the United States is just now so much occupied with | home matters, that it can find no leisure to eare for the interests of Americans travelling or sojourning in this eountry, for I am informed that Mr. jardy, the present Chargé d’Affaires, returns home in a fow weeks, although there is not even a consul here just now, Mr. Schwartz, a very prominent and influ- ential member of the ultramontane St. Severin’ Union, having recently been dismissed. Americans have been remarkably bad odor in Austria | the last few years, and as they are still re- garded with extreme jealousy by the authorities, it is, to say the least of it, hardly prudent to leave them without any protection here. The Russian Chancellor of State, Count Nosselrode, who arrived here two days since, has already vieited the Foreign Minister, Count Buol, the English and French Mi- | nisters, and his ancient friend and ally, Prineo Met- | ternich. I yesterday had an Sppeenny, of seeing Count Neeselrode and Baron Mayerndorf, the Rus- sian Minister at this court, together. The former, @ lively little man of 72, appears destined to be an octogenarian, while the latter, a man of 48 or 50, who is said to be the proposed successor of Nossel- rode, seems terribly care-worn, melancholy, and sickly.

Very considerable efforts appear to have been made by Mr. enced yee gentleman under whose direo- tions the search was conducted—and his poople to discover any traces of Franklin’s expedition that meh yet be forthcoming, but without effect. Late in June the Prinoe Albert searched the ice, and Feoesaded by Pond’s Bay up Lancaster Sound. ‘hen she reached Barrow’s Straits, in the begin- ning of September, the ice had already barred the pageage. It was dotermined to proceed to Port Leo- pold. At this point, Mr. Kennedy and a boat’s crow well nigh met with a death as dreadful as the Polar region could inflict. He had landed to make in- ‘ies, but before he could return on board a bar- rier of ice was interposed between the shore and the ship; to crown the misfortune, the Prince Albert was Fortunately for the bold adventurers, Sir John Ross had left a store of provisions near the point at which they had landed, and so they were enabled to Be six dreary weeks without undergoin, intolerable privation.

We find among the correspondence | which has been received, a letter from Captain Pul- the 25d August.
