The discrepancy between the amount of manure | and rubbish contrasted with the previous years, is | accounted for by the uuprecedented amount of sewering, laying Croton and gas pipes, rail tracks, patching and paving streets, in conjunction with the extraordinary improvements made by our citizens this year on their property, with the constant vio- lation of the city ordinances by builders and con- tractors, who leave behind them large quantities of dirt and rubbish, which this department is compelled | to remove. There is not only attached to this a great mse for individual benelit, but the city loses the le of manure by the admixture of sand, rendering it worthless to the farmer; and we are compelled to pay for that which we otherwise would get pay for. eston 2 of an ordinance, passed 1849, reads us :— All pavements hereafter to be laid in any of the streets or lanes of this city by the Superintendent of Pavements, | » or eontractors for the construction of sewers or the lay ing of water, gas, or other pipes, shall, after the pave ment is laid, and driven down, have covered over them one inch in thickness of pure sand, and no more. ot of “one inch of pure sand, and no more it is almost invariably the case that three inches of fine stuff is spread upon the streets, which the first rain makes mud ankle deep; then the never ceasing wheeling of vehicles of our restless city drag for blocks, and soon converts this dirt into powder, which the first gust of wind blows into the faces of our citizens, or into their dwellings and stores, rendering the complaints to this depart- ment of a numerous and most vexatious character— vexatious, becaure it is not in my power to render | any redress forthe grievances thus justly complained of, the streets being broken up and rendered impas- sable for the pedestrian or vehicles, without any au- | thority but the will of the parties committing the act. If this course of conduct is goiug to be followed up Py those citizens who are contractors and builders, and it is tobe permitted by the authorities, taxa- ‘tion must necessarily increase, from which no cor- | zeeponding benefit can arise. There is no city in the ‘Union where such an assumption as breaking up and | encumbering the sidewalks at will, for individual benefit, would be tolerated for a day to the sacrifice | of pane convenience aud mutual right. rdinances of the city, when passed, are supposed 0 be for the protection of all, ioet, binding on the citizen, and which every aa de officer, by his oath, is bound to see executed. There should be a | fmt with the heads of departments, in- | cluding the Mayor, or our ordinances, as a general | thing, would amount to nothing, and stand as a | letter for any safe or practical purpose. As much has been said upon encumbering streete, | side walks, docks, &c., and to whom the duty pre- | perly belongs of removing the same, the following | sections from the ordinances regulating the execu- | = pas ment shows: - . 318. The Superintendent of Streets is hereby au Mhorized, and it is made his duty, to order any artiale or whateoever which may enenmber or obstruct a atreet, wharf, or pier, to be reimoved, and if it be mot re within twenty-four hours thereafter, to order the to be removed to the yard occupied by the Super. intendent of Repairs to Pablic Buildings, or other auita ble piace. See. 319, For the Parton of defraying any expense which may be inourred in pursuance of the last seetion, the Superintendent of Streets may, by a requisition + be countersigned by the Commissionor of Stroets and | Lamps draw ug) the Comptroller far a sum not exceeding ene kundsed dellors, He may in itke manner renew the draft as often asmay be necessary, but 20 reuewal shall be made uatil the money paid upon the previous drafts shall be accouated for to the Comptroller by satisfactory vouchers for the expenditure of the money paid thereon, The money so drawn it will be understood, is taken from the appropsiation for cleaning streets.

Your honorable body will be called upon to defend yourselves in a suit about to be commenced against you for daring to remove many thousands of tons of railroad iron, found laying on one of the piers of the North river, and removed to the corporation yard. The parties seek to have restored to them the redemp- tion money. We shall see. Ordinances in reference to this subject are something or nothing. | Another prolific source of complaint is, that por- tions of the streets of the city are rendered almost impassable from building materials occupying two- thirds of the street. These complaints are just,.and the facts are notorious; but the remedy is beyond my control. From usage, the builder, or the persons in- terested, claims as much of the street as they please, and become very indignant if requested not to allow the dirt to be spread over the entire street. The law requires that they shall have the permission of the Street Commissioner, and they are generally granted one-third of the street. How they avail themselves of the permit to use one-third of the street, can be ascertained by those of the press, or any who are ca- rious in such matters. This is not all. In years gone by, when a building was to be put up, the sand dug from the cellar, to lay the foundation, was carted away by the parties when not required for building purposes. Now they pile it up two stories high. screen it in the street, and then expose it for sale, leaving the refuse of it on the ground for this de- partment to take away. This course of conduct, for those claiming to be good citizens, has been excess- | ively expensive to the bureau of cleaning streets last year, and without the assistance of your body bids here _respe>t- hat, at your earliest convenience an ordinance may be reported, that permission be grant- ed by this department alone for permission to occu- py the streets for building purposes, constructing sewers, &c., as the whole burden of non-conformity with the ordinances in such cases made and provided upon this department. Some set granted me by keeping a registry of all building, sewering, &c., 80 the Ward Inspectors may be kept advised of the same, and the streets would then be left in as good condition as they found them, or the parties be hand- ed over to the Attorney of the Corporation for his ac- tion. I have the assurance of his honor, the Mayor, and the Chief of Police, that every assistance that can be rendered by them for the better enforcement of our city ordinances will be cheerfully given. In making contracts with pe for sewering, if the department possessiag the power would only stipulate that those to whom such contracts were awarded should be compelled to lay timbers over the crossings, and open but one block of the street at a time, many of the complaints made to this depart- | ment would be obviated, and the public convenience better regarded. Notwithstanding the ad es the vente health, from proper drainage, yet the manner of construeting sewers makes it both annoying to the citizens and ex pensive to this department. In commencing a sewer, the parem and thrown along the line of the se street. Then the trench is dug to the taken u | and sidewalks, sometimes for two or ‘ree blocks, shutting off all crossing, either for pedestrianism or vehicles. By inserting such a clause as above ex- pressed, and having it strictly complied with, it would materially lessen complaints of this character. The next step, after the sewer is built, is to fill up, ram down, and then re-pave. This re-paving is gene- rally done in the most flimsy and unworkmanlike menner, and covered over with large quan- tities of dirt, instead of “one inch of pure sand, and no more.” No sooner is this large amount of dirt removed by the Street Ins; rs—the' being compelled to do it, because it gets mixed witl all kinds of rubbish thrown out and becomes an in- tolerable nuisance, at a large cost to the department which should belong to individuale—when the occu- pants or owners of buildings commence the opera- tion to connect with the sewers. Again the pavement is broken up, and when the connection is completed | the same disgraceful paving takes place; but a few weeks elapse when the rolling of carts and omni- buses turns up the cobble stones, and more patching takes place, and months elapse before the Streets are in the same condition as when the sewer- ing commenced; besides, no manure is collected for blocks in the vicinity where this work has been done. Tn reference to casting rubbish, &c., in the streets, the laws are wholly disregarded. The following or- | dinance was passed | 5 y ue Legislature, and by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty, April, 1849 :— Ste. 1 No person or persons sball throw, east, or lay any ashes, offal, vegetables, garbage, dross, cinders, shella, straw, shavings, dirt, filth or rubbish, of any kind what: i street, lane or alley, or public place, in the city The violation of any of the provisions of the preceding section shail be, and is hereby, declared a mis- demeanor, and shall be punishable by a fine not less than one dollar or more than ten dollars, or by imprisonment in the city prison for a term of not less than one or more than five days.

PENNACOOK. Our Albany Correspondence. Apny, March 16, 1853. Great Flare Up in the Senate on the Rival Canal Measures— M Murray for the First Time Taig the Lead—Strong Op- position by Vanderbilt, dc. The two great rival measuresbefore the Legislature are one submitted by Senator Vanerbilt,‘to submit the ques- tion of an alteration of the costitution to raise funds by anticipating the surplus cans revenues; the other, the bill brought forward in the Asembly, by which a tax of seven-tenths of a mi] will be lid directly upon the peo- ple, and an imposition of tos upon railroad freight. These are the two antagonisti propositions which are now engaging the serious attntion of the Legislature. Which of the two will ultimatly be adopted it is now ab- olutely impossible to anticipte. On the one hand it is contended, that by an alteraton of the constitution, so as llow the anticipation ofthe remainder of the canal r ues, some two millia five hundred thousand | dollars are to be expended annually towards the com- pletion of the State works. the friends of this measure are certain that in the curse of six years, and by an expenditure of ten millions.nd # half, the whole of the canals of this State will ther be finally completed, in ac: | cordance with the wishes ofthe people of this State, and | sufficiently ample through al time for the transportation of the immense quantities f produce which will seek a market at the Atlantic seal |. Those whe are in favor of taxing the people generaly, and the railroads particu- larly, allege that their propo:tion is the most economical, most democratic, and more aceptable to the wishes of a large majority of the people. This plan anticipates an expenditure of some eight hunired thousand dollartan- nually towards improving the undition of the canals. The bill which embraces tle latter principles, as adopted by the House, came up in he Senate this morning. from the Committee on Finances. Messrs. M’Murray and Conger were in favor, and Mr. Morran againgt it. A mo- tion was wade to make it a specialorder previous to the time (to-morrow) of taking up Mr. Vanderbilt's consti- tutitional resolutions. Upon this notion a long, irre- gular debate oceured, in which a dozen #erators largely par- ticipated. The whole canal tax, and the geaeral policy of the State, and also the policy of the whig, dimocrate and all other parties was discussed. Mr. M’Murray took stron; und in favor of the Assembly bill and advocate: frect taxation, to the surprise of maiy Senators, and a large listening auditory. Committee, his remarks were listend to with great attention. The debate continued until me o’clock, when, | after various unsuccesful amendments being offered, the bill was made a special order immediatdy ‘after the Van- derbilt resolutions are disposed of.

Sec. 17. Whenever any water shall be cast or thrown, as provided in the 15th rection of this title, the person or persons s0 casting or suffering the same to run from their premises, shall clean a passage for the same to run along the pre to the river or public sewer, so that the same shall not overflow the curbstone or sidewalks, under the penalty of twenty-five dollars for each neglect. These ordinances have all been published in hand- bills, and distributed among the citizens, and no good citizen should plead ignorance of their existence, or | attempt to avoid their enforcement. The increase of coal ashes is very great, and in the lower part of the city and as high as Fourteenth street, in the winter they have averaged from seven to eight hundred loads per week, and in the sum- mer months there will be from four to five hundred loads per week. It is estimated that over thirteen | | thousand houses were ‘ i up, fronts altered, addi- tional stories added, cellars dug, and various altera- tions made last year. upon the public, besides destroying the grade of the streets. There is an ordinance that requires the cer- tificate of the Superintendent of Str before the partios com get their pay. These vertifcates are rarely sought for, and the presumption is, that they get their money without one. Two railroads were laid, last year, the entire length of the west side of the city, destroying all the manure along the line and adjacent thereto. 5 ‘here were cleared two additional wards last year, ‘aloo the North rivers, the whole embracing a distance of about twe hundred and thirty miles. Strict enforce- ment of the ordinances which make it a misdemeanor to throw ashes, garbage, &c., &c., into the streets, | would tend materially to promote the cleanliness of | the city. It should be eonsidered sufficient cause for the suspension of a policeman for allowing these sub- stances to be continually thrown in the streets on hia heat; the streets would soon be clean; and I here en- | join all good citizens to aid in an object so devoutly w be wished. Respectfully submitted, Henry ArcvLaniws, Jr, Commissioner of Streets and Lamps. Got Fouxp ix Tux Curnokee Natioy.—The following extract of a letter from an intelligent citizen of the United States, says the Van Buren (Arkansas) Intelligencer of the 2d in- stant, at Tal , Cherokee Nation, to a mer- chant in our city, corroborates the verbal re- ports which have reached here a few days since. That a rich gold mine has been diseovered in the Cherokee Nation may be true, and we expect in a few weeks to sce a gencral rush to it. But we must admonish our citizens of one fact—this country be- longa to the Cherokees, and is solely ander the laws of these people.

The Covington and Ohio Railroad bill passed the Senate of Virginia on the 11th inst., with an addi- tional appropriation of $4,000,000. 3 FINANCIAL AND COMMER: MONEY MARKET. Taurspay, March 17—6 P. M. There were large sales of Nicaragua, Cumberland, and Erie, this morning, at prices a fraction below those current at the close yesterday. Most of the operations were on time, showing no let up in the tightness of the money market. At the first board New Jersey Zinc declined 3 per cent; Nicaragua, 4; Harlenf 4; Reading Railroad, 4; Hudson River Railroad, §. Florence and Keyport advanced 2 per cent; Buffalo and Rochester Railroad, 4; St. Law- rence Mining Company, 4. At the second board, there were more evidences of weakness, and but very. little business was transacted. Nicaragua fell off } per cent; Erie Railroad, {; Hudson River Railroad, 1. There was a very active demand for money throughout the day, and the pressure is likely to be more severe than ever. A large failure in Baltimore was reported this morning, which caused a great deal of excitement in cerfain circles. Many are ap- prehensive that more will follow. During the past week the mercantile classes have been more embar- rassed than for many years before, and a contraction has commenced that will ultimately place things upon a healthier basis. The ordeal through which they must pass may prove fatal to many; bat it is better that such a purging should be made now than the disease become more deeply seated, when the treatment would be more serious, and the result less favorable. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer | of this port to-day amounted to $228,265; payments, $119,749 89—balance, $6,819,369 23. Capitalists must bear in mind that Simeon Draper wilt sell at auction to-morrow—Friday, March 19—at | the Merchants’ Exchange, at twelve o'clock, eighty | thousand dollars of the bonds of the Wellsville Coal and Land Company. These bonds bear interest at the rate of seven per cent per annum, with coupons | attached, payable January and July, in this city, principal payable in 1862. This company owns a | yaluable tract of bituminous coal land at Wellsville, | onthe Ohio river. There are two wide extended beds on the company’s property, both of good quali- | ty, but of varied excellence. The veins are of a con- | venient working thickness, and all crop out at the | hill side, draining themselves, and affording every advantage that could be wished for in convenience for working and for running the coal down to the railroad depots and to the steamboat wharves, which are nowhere more than half a mile distant from the | pit mouth. The superficial vein, of four and a half tosix feet thick, is acknowledged to be the best coal | available for the market of Cleveland and the lakes. | It is got out in bright. bituminous, hard lumps, very free from iron and sulphur, and its quality makes it sought after with avidity by the Ohio steamers. The company can deliver their coal at Cleveland for | less than two dollars per ton. The prices it com- | mands there range from three dollars to four dollars; | and there is as ample a margin for profit on What they furnish at the pit mouth for steamboat, manu- facturing and domestic consumption. To enable them to open out the coal veins more thoroughly, to lay down their tracks from the wharves and railroad depots tofthe mines, andt o work more extensively this Cleveland coal traffic, and, also, to improve the wharves and landing, the Wellsville Gompany now eome into the market for a loan.

We published yesterday an extract from a letter received from a correspondent in the Cumberland coal region, which was calculated to injure the char- acter of the coal from that section. The annexed letters, one from the President of the New Creek Coal Company—A. Ashfield—and one from the President of the Llangollan Coal Company—James Wynne—shows that our correspondent was entirely wrong in his statements, and we hasten to make the correction :— 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Orvice or THE New Creek Coat Co., 47 Wall street. New York, March 17, 1853. Observing by a paragraph copled into the money article of your valuable paper this morning, that an attempt is made to disparage the coal of our nix feet vein, as well as that of others in the Westernport region, we would state for the satisfaction of the stockholders, that whatever may be the character of that vein belong: ing to companies on the Maryland side of the Potomac, there is no better coal in the world than that from the New Creek Coal Company vein which is on the opponite or Virginia side, In fact, one of the principal induce- ments for opening upon this vein, (the company having all the others found in the Cumberland region,) was on account of its remarkable superiority, and which has been amply shown tothe satisfaction of numerous per- son who have seen it burning at the office of the com- pany. The six feet vein is free from sulphur and other impurities, leaving a clear white ash, and being one of the lowest veins, has the whole weight of the mountain resting upon it, which is supposed to account for ity re- markable compactness and solidity. In the course of a few weeks, we have no doubt these dixparaging assertions will be further and satisfactorily disproved by regular supplies from the six feet vein cf the New Creek Com- pany, whieh will then be put upon the market, Orrice oF 718 LLANGOLLAN MixixG Company, £m—The mone; y cot New York, March 17, 1853, article in the Hkratp of to- n- tains a statement, from an unknown correspondent, in relation to the character of the coal of the Westernport district of the Cumberland coal field, which #0 nearly affects the interests of the Llangollan’ Mining Company that I feel myself called upon to make an explanation, so far, at least, as that company ix Le arg The Liangollan Mining Company is ® landed property of about thirteen hundred acres, traversed. ‘the various coal seams found in that region. part of this land is located in the Eo one near the railroad now being made by heey gd ‘Company, and contains as pinky tab eg what is known as the fourteen feet reom as is to be found in the eoal feld, 35 | | ders and hams realized 6%. pondent possibly gn The as Openings on account of its convenience railroad, one py its surface indications of several slides, which have been met with within in driving driftin the six feet seam, in the shape of oecasional knolls, pecbilenesnemees by the upheaval ef the whole range ef mount in the Sond sasies These knolls require cones Eis and = es produce a rusty appearance do not injure ita quality na a fuel.

The works necessary to develo at Llangollan wHil be completed by the first day of next, when the company will be in a eondition to to market more than two hundred tons of coal daily. It may be proper to add that as soon as the Creek Railroad is completed, which it is anticipated will be done by the first day of June next, it is the intention. of the company to develope their property upon this trib- utary, and thus greatly increase their capacity te sup- ply coal. ‘The purpose of this letter is not to reply to an unknown correspondent, who is certainly in fault in be- lieving that the Llangolian Company feel aggrieved at the statements made In the Cumber! nd Coal mpany’s re- port, but to correct any mitapprebension which might arise from its remaining unanswered, Stock Exchan; $5000 US 6's, 62. .bS 115 3000 Erie RRM Bs 63 1073¢ 1000 Erie Conv Bds’71 9534 5000 Hud 2d Mtg Bds 073¢ 1000 Mich SRR Bds. 1013¢ 8000 Ind Can p’d 8’s 86 50 shs Bank America 108 5 Bank N America 10434 z 200 hs Cum Coal Co 03 150 do. 83. 50 Morris Canal.epg 2034 50 di ‘ops 2035 200 re spke 2033 | 200 do..bIbp&e 205, | 100 do.....pke 20 20 Cont’l In 100 Canton Co, 100 do. | 600 N J Zine .. 800 de ge do. 8556 800 Montg’y Min'g (00 Harlem Railroad. 63: 100 St Lawrence Co.. 234 400 do Saturday 63: 226 Port’th DDock.s3 514 700 do... +. 63. 120 Flor & Keyport., 13 53 Roch & Syr RR.b3 126 200 Fdgew'th tana Co 6% 100 Reading Railroad. 883¢ 260 Nic Trans Co ..83 303¢ 100 do 88i¢ 800 do. 83 88 300 88 | 100 28 | 500 6236 | 1400 100 do... 625¢ 100 16N Y &N Hay RE 108 100 65 do... .b3 10836 | 400 60 Erie & NE RE.b3 106 200 SECOND BOARD. $2000 Hud Ist Mg Bds 105 100 shy Nic Trans Co. 9034 S Hank N Amerles, 105, 200 Montgiry Mining, 2% 5 Hanover Bank... 953 200 do..,...860 2% 10 do 300 Portsm'th D Dock 534 2936 120 85% 8536 200 Flor & Keyport.. 85: mK -b15 ae 100 ParkerCoalCob60 20 68 —_— do. 200 Nie Transit Co... 30 5 NY &NHavenRR 108%, 200° dow... .b90 50Norw&WorRR. 61 ‘100 100 Harlem R R,.b80 6436 200 50 Hud Riv RR..s45 613¢ 150 50 do......810 6136 100 100 do.......88 6136 CITY TRADE REPORT. ‘TuRspay, Mareh 17—6 P.
