Twenty-first street, North river 130 00 Those who desire the occupancy of these piers will be anxious to ascertain whether they can obtain leages for them, as early as practicable, in order to | make their arrangemeuts ior the business of the en- suing eearon. The ordinance passed in 1944, respecting the sink- ing fund and the management of it, provides two modes fer renting the piers beloging to said fand. These provisions are set forth in the two followiag sections of that ordinance, vi: £ec. 9. Whenever any property belonging to the Cor- } ocimy is unproductive, or the term for which it may we been leared or let shall have expired, or be about expiring, it +ball be the duty of the said Comptroller, with the -anction of the Finance Committees, to let the | same for s term not exceeding one year, if in his jadg. ment it will be beueficial to the public interest to do so. Sec. 10. Whenever, in the judgment of the said Comp- troller, it shall be more advisable to lease property be- longing to the Corporation for a term exceeding one ear, it hall be bis duty to communicate the same, with tis reasons therefor, to the Commissioners of the Sink- ing Fund, and if they concur wih him, they are here» authorized and empowered to lease the same in suc! manner as they may dcem most fit for the interest of the city, and upen the Jioduction of a certificate signed by & Majority of said Commissioners, of whom the Comp- troller +bali be one, it ; hall be the duty of the said Mayor snd Ckrk of the Common Conneil to execute such leases unéer ibeir hands and :eal of the city; said tease to be submitted to the Common Council for ir sonction be- fore being executed; but no lease so mate by the Com missioners of the Sinking Fund shall be for a ionger term than five years. In the present condition of the affairs of the city, I consider it an imperative duty to recommend to the Commissioners oi the Sinking Fund, under the tenth section of the oidinance above given, to fix the | amount cf aunual rent to be paid on the several iers where the leases expire on the first of May, 853, by public auction, alter full notice, and for “a term ot five years. My reasons are:— First. That this is the best metiiod of producing a fair. competition among thoce who desire the use of the piers for the accommodation of their business, and of securing to the city treasury a just equivalent for the use of its property. Second. That by giving leases for a term of years, we secure to those who de-ire accommodations for ocean vesecls or for canal boats, the advantages of ——- a fixed place of business for the period of the lease. Third. As the trustees for the Corporation and the creditors of the city, we have the custody of property estimated at from fi.teen to twenty millions of dollars, which is pledged for the payment of an annual interest of come $600,000, and a principal debt of fourteen and a kalf payment of which, not only this property and its re- ventes are pledged, but if it is not sufficient, the faith of the State is pledged to authorize the levy of taxes for the payment of the interest on the debt. Invested with such important trusts, involving great pecuniary interests of the public creditors, as well as the city, in leasing and selling some of the most de- sirable ity Within the bounds of the corporation, it is desirable that the official agents of such a trust should, in managing and disposing of this property, protect themrelves against the possibility of suspi- cien that they were influenced by a desire td grant favors to political or personal frietids, or actuated by any influence, save that which springs from an honest desire to discharge the trust with the strictest fidel- ity to the public creditors, on the one hand, and our confiding constituents on the other. Above all things, we should fortify our official acts with such a degree of openness and iair dealing as to keep ourrelves at an immeasurable distance (rom even a suspicion that we could be tempted by any earthiy consideration, through “middle men’ or brokers, to secure to ourselves an interest in this pepety. or to put a diiar into our own pockets, which faithfulness to our trasts would have secured to the city treasnry. xt in importance to an honest and faithful discharge of a pecuniary trust, is the conviction on the public mind, of the ‘% pro- duced by open and fair dealing in every transaction which concerns the trust, cr those interested in it. We should not only be hones should, 28 far as practicable we are 80; in disposing adopt the course sanctioned by the practice of intel- ligent and judicious business men. in pursuing such a course, we may hope to be sustained by a inoral force, which is essenti:] to the benefic: ful administration of the city priceless value of a good private cl. illustration. The intivence and value of character in a public agent, entrusted with the credit and property of the city, and personally pledged to faithfulness by oaths and bonds, cannot be computed by dollars and cents. It is eseential to all the great Tests con- fided to such an agent, that his character should “not only be pure, but unsuspecte he corporation owns eighty-seven p'era, wharves, and bulkheads, estimated in the Comptroller's report of 1862 to Le worth $3,254,000. On the 25th day of November last the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund passed a resolution to sell ten whole piers, with nalf of bulkhead in the case of six of them, aud the aalf of fourteen piers, with half of b.ikhead in nine sases. Some of these were among the most valua- dle and desirable of the pier aud wharf property 8 selonging to the city. The valuation pk upon the property by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fond, under rection 1, tith of the ordinance of 1844, was $565,000. The sale was to b aken place on and after the 2ist of December last, but was stopped by an injunction issued by Judge Um- met. The late Cou to the Cor ion, and a ma, of the Commissioners of the Siuking Fund, although they stopped the sale, did not concur in the opinion of the Judge, and proceedings were taken t carry up thecase. Although cur agency in re- gard to this truet fund may be regarded’ in one sense a8 a mere financial question, confined to the management of the fund, and in getting the greatest amount of revenue for the holders of the city debt, and for the relief of the tax-payers; yet in the di spor sition of that peculiar portion of thé property which consist- of wharves, piers and bulkheads, we should not love sight of the importance of controlling this rty, avd the laud under water connected with . for the purpose of accommodating the commerce, interior and exterior, of this great and growlug city. The estimates in regard to the future growth of the city, lead to the belief that it is destined to have concentrated in the bay which connects it with the ocean, and the rivers wuich surround it, a more extensive internal and external commerce than at) city of ancient or modern times. Making every al- Jowance which the most cautions would recommend, there ae unmistakable indications that the demands of trade will give a velue to the city property (rontiny on the water, eltogether beyond any price which could be obtained for it now. If, thereture, the rent- os Neegged property can be kept out of the hands of jol , uid its fair value be paid into the eity trea- eury directly, by thoxe who wich to use the piers in on their business, it would not be advisable, to litiete the question whether Ts of the Sinking Fund have power or not. The moncy is not at preseut wanted any of the purpores of the trust. The interest on outstanding stock is abundantly provided tor by water rents and the revenues on the pledged . There is at this time standing, to the the commissioners, $561,705 0, for the pay- ment of interest and principel; and there is in the of the Comptroller over three millions of , readily convertible into cash for the payment Seecpel h to cancel the large amount of three m of dollars falling due in 1855. The of 1844, which organizes the sinking fund, following pruvision respecting sales of real a millions of dollars; and for the ultimate | | | | | | | the law of 1512. ity, unless it was indixpensable for of ‘The act of 1813 pledged all the reve- until the final redemption o’ of August 9, 1813, estal asipking fund, only pacaee certain revenues, twenty-five per cent of the net proceeds of all sales of real estate belonging to the Corporation. .But no power was specially given in either case to property by the commissioners of the fund. This was varied in the ordinance of 1544, a8 before given. It is a vital pri r the public creditor is concerned, to keep the_priaci- pal of the pledged fund unbroken and productive; and hence provision was made for separating the fund for the Ww was pledved for the payment of terest; and if the latter is insufficient to meet the ac ruing interest, resort must be had, not to a sule of the piers, or of the three millions of stocks in our hands, pled sed for the principal, but it must be made up by taxation: ‘The sale of the vacant and waproductive lots is a very different mutter. It is consistent with the ordi- nance, ard ben the vacant lots and convert them into securities paying a fair interest. In the proceedings before Judge Emmet, in the care Lefore reened to, one of the points taken is, that the crdin ance of 22d February, 1844, organizing the sinking fund, and designating the property pledged, aud the commissioners to manage it, was abrogated by the amendment to the city charter in isd). in the powers given to the finance department; and this position is sustained by Judge Emmet! This is a matter of too much importance, in my judgment, to be yielded, until the question is settled by the Court of Appeals. In the meautime, it is proper to review the history of the debt from its commencemect, to satisfy ourselves that it is incum- bent on us to discharge our obligations under the inance of 1844, until released from them by the Jast resort. ir 1812, the Mayor, Aldermen, and com- of the city of New York Vs cles a was stated monalty memorial to the Legislature, in which i that they had incurred large expenses in erecting public buildings, and must incur other large ex- penses in carrying into effect the plans of the com- | missioners for opening streets and avenues ; that | a had raised money on their corporate bonds, aad had issued other bonds as security for balances against them, and that the nece-sary sum for open- ing the avenues they “despair of being able toraize, without legislative interference in their behalf.’ On this memorial the Legislature passed an act (chap. 99 of 1812) authori: ublic stock of $900,000, called ‘The New York Dity Stock,” and authorized the Comptroller to is- sue certificates of stock, and keep the transfers thereof, under the direction of the Common Coun- cil. This act pledged the faith of the Mayor, Alder- men, and Commonalty, and the Leyistature also “ pledged and appro riated’’ the revenues of the ci - until the fina following form, viz :— 9. And be it further enacted, That the faith of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of the city of New York, hall be pledged for the final redemption and payment of the steck which shuil or may be created pursuant to the provisions of this act, and that all and singular the revenues of said Mayor, Aldermen, aud Com- monaity, hall be and they are hereby pledged aud ap- propriated for the payment of the interest which shall become due on the said stock, and ~hall continue so pledged until the final redemption of the said stock; that incase the raid revenues be not sufficient to ratisty and pay the whole of the said interest, then, and in that case, the faith of the State shall be, and the same is hereby pledged to pass such act and acts as shall, from time to time, be necessary, authorizing the Mayor, Re- corder, and Aldermen of the said city. to raise by tax, on the estates real and personal of the freehoiders and in- habitants cf and situate within the said city, such sum and sums of money as shall and may be mequisite to sup- ply any and every such deficiency. This provision, reccgnizing the power of the Legis- + lature “ to pledge and appropriate " the revenues of the city for the payment of interest onits debt, was not ouly acted on and uiesced in at that time, in relation to the debt of 060, but the same act has been referred to and made a part of all the laws for | borrowing money for the construction or the Croton Aqueduct, and for all other purposes, for a period of | forty years. In i820 the Corporation had occasion for a loan of $400,000, and an act was passed authorizing it under In authorizing this additional loan, care was taken to insert a section, that “ this act should not deprive the holders of the stock issued under the former act of any lien which they are entitied to by said act, upon the revenues of the said mayor, aldermen, and commonalty.”’ In 1826 another law was passed (chap 93) for | borrowing $700,000, to reimburse the moncy bor- rowed underthe act of June 8, 1812, and to be ap- plied ‘‘to no other purpose whatever.” This act re- peated the provision, that nothing in it should be so construed as to affect the lien on the city property, of the holders of stock previcusly issued, The next law authorizing a lean was in 1834, (chap. 256,) for commencing the construction of the Croton Aqueduct. millions of dollars, at five per cent. The provisions of the act of 1812 were made applicable to this loan. In 1836, an act was passed, (chap. ) authoriz- ing a loan of $600,000 to be made, called “ Public Building Stock.” The act of 1412 was made apypli- cable to this loan; and the Sth section pledged the oe propeity at Bellevue for the payment of the debt. In 1838 an act was passed, (chap. 127,) authoriz- ing a Joan cf three millions of dellurs for the Croton Agveduct. The oth se: declares that ell the laws heietoture passed, pledging ing a sinking fond for the redemption of the de applicable to this stock. in 1840 an act was passed (chap. 175) authorizing another lean of three millions of dollars for the Cro- ton Aqueduct, and the provisions of the of 1 were made a ble to this loan. In t an act (chap. 527) was paesed for funding a floating debt ot $400, ' years, by taxation. | | | | | | | In 1¢41 another act was passed (chap. 306,) for borrowing $3,500,000 for the Croton Aq t. All laws pledging funds for tii were made applicable to thi jayment of the debt stuck, with an addition- al section authorizing the supervisors to levy by tax | such an amount as may be necessary to deiray the interes: on the water stock.

This act declares that all pre- vious enactinents, pledging the faith of the State, and roviding a sinking fund, shall apply to this toan. bn the 20th of April of the unend- ments to the charter were passed, defining the powers of the Finence Department, which, in the opinion of Judge Emmet, supersedes the ordivance of Lss4,and the Con missioners of the Sinking Pund. ‘The charter of 184) makes no allusion to the Com- mirrioners of the Sinking Fund, and it is not to be in- ferred that the Legislature designed to break up and disorganize a commission for a fuud which had ¢d for forty yeers, and on the faith of which fourt millions Ked been drawn from the public creditors, ard expended in valuable improvements for the use cf thecity.

Norrorx, Jan. 29, 1853. Vigilance Commiitees in the Navy—Lawity of Discipline Steam Frigates Powhattan and Princeton, dc. The United States frigate Raritan is here, of which you areaware. I have learned from one of her officers that since the abolition of flogging in the navy, the men who were dispo-ed to do their duty, seeing they were com- pelled todo more than their own, in consequence of a large portion of the men being confined as punishment for neglect of duty, and various other olfences, took it into their heads that something must be done to prevent the continuance of such a state of things. They therefore formed themselves into vigilance committees, and took upon themselves the punishment of all offenders, by | tucking them up and giving them half a dozen or a dozen | with the cat, as the case required, the officer of the deck being always particularly oblivious just about the time the operation was per.ormed. Ihave learned also from an officer of the Powhattan that Mr. Kimball, the Master-at-arms of the ship, was piteled into, a day or two since, by some of the men on the berth deck, and beaten badly before he could be rei- cued. Br. Kimball is a very respectable man, having been one of our city constables for a long time. [ am of opinion that the cat-o’-nine-tail is the best mode of go- yernment for the sailors and other men on board ship, if | it were possible to enuct some law to prevent its abu-e. ‘The steam frigate Powhattan, which has been fitting out for the Japan expedition for soine time, is nearly | ready for sea, and will sail in about a week or ten days, | unless the filibustering or some other excitement should | alter her destination. Iwas on board of her this morn- | ing. and to my astonishment I discovered the caryonters and other méchanies engaged in putting up the hinged bulwark around the bows. It is never too late todogood, but if the Navy department had given the order some month or six weeks ago, the job woul | havé been finished; but now the ship will in all probability have to wait for il. She will look, however, fifty per cent better, and be | twenty per cent safer than with the old canvass arrauge- ment with which she was fitted. It ix expected that she will get up steam in three or four days, and drop down to the Naval Hospital. The repairs of the steamer Princeton are progressing rapiely, all the Isherwood ttues having been taken out of the boilers, and ihe new work being put in. | , The weather here hax been very cold for the last four days, muking ice from an inch toan inch and a half thick in the gutters and other places. We have at present two broud pennants fiying in our harbor, which is something unusual.

From Qualeguayehu he followed the direction of Cala, {o op} 0% Lunsel! to the gartixon of Caseros, and to elfect fa junction with the forces which he expected from Cor- rlentca. ‘At Cena a battle occurred between the troops of Hornos and tho c of Urquivn, commanded by Cria Acording to the intelligence from Baenos Ayres, the lat- ter were defeated.
