THE COMPTROLLER AND THE BOARD, Arnir 13.—At the meeting of the Board on Monday last @ resolution was moved py Alderman Sturtevant and adopted. calling on the C@fnptroller to state by what au. thority he had appropriated part of pier 21 Washington Market for a dumping ground, ‘The answer was received this evening, to tho gffect that he had advertised nearly all she piers not tenet for sale, and both the Oty Inapector and Superintendent of Streets had applied to him, stating they would require some to be reverved; and he gave them the printed lists and re- quested them to derignate, in writing, such as they want- ed reserved. and that they accordingly did so, and this was one of them. He disclaimed all intention of assuming any of the prerogatives of the Common Counsell, he Reader baving read the communicati Alderman STURTEVANT rove and said—This was by no means an answer to the resolution. «much at a lows ar ever to understand what right or suthority the i * mptroller, or any other officer, had to appropriate a pier. Alderman Denman thought the communication was en- tiely in accordance with the resolation, and he could not s@ what further answer could be had. Alderman OaKiry—He does not etate he had any aw thority, Alerman He does emote one how he was induoed.to do i a ry “ of the Sixteenth tl was an answer, He did not my right oraatherity he ted the Superin- ‘of Streets to erect t! er ‘He says he did reserve it, and that he sup) he Bad a right to do so ; but was the “ry olga) gel tive of the Common Council The revolution upon him for the authority, and he did not give any. Alderman Denmax—He says he did it at instance of the Department, and denie? assuming or wishing to as tume any authority of the Council. Alderman ena are did would be much ba to the ter. an illegal act use he of those assumptions very ready to apsume. and for munication to be sent back. Alderman [An—It was the first time they had rained false issues in that Board. He did not stand up now to vindicate the Comptroller, and if the gentleman said be was making an ass of him, or vindieating bis ille- gul acts, it was not the fact. Alderman Sturtevant— He does not answer the resolu- tion at all. Alderman Barr—The Sn} itendent of Streets calls-on him, and he only says he did it at his request. There is no authority set out any where in that communication. Aldeyman Brisiey presumed ba had got all they could get from the Comptroller. He had advertised all, or very pearly all, the prers that were not leased, for ra'e be auc- tion. And not being aware of what piers were required, and the parties calimg on him, he requests them to point out, and they want two piers eres which he certainly had a right to do; but w! J or not the right to erect a dumping board was another thing; and he did not suppore the Comptroller would s0 cont . He thought it read that he did not wish to on any of their reccaniizas, He would move that the eemmunica- tion be laid on the table and be printed. Alderman Donzery thought the Board, or any member of it, had no right to presume ‘as to the Comp- troller’s motives or cause of his acta. It was his duty t> answer that rerolution as much as it would be of the most subordinate officer, and the Board never ought to ield its right. And the peper should be sent back —— not satisfactory to the majority of the mem! Alderman Barr hoped it would not be printed, as that would look like an acceptance of it; and it would be print- ing a useless and insufficient document. ‘Alderman Atvorp—he has told the Board in effect that he had no authority, and then he went on toexplain what he had done. Alderman Barp thought it was no answer, and would vote for its back. nenes ase laa it to go back, and nee if he bad exceed authority, Alderman Dongrty would ask what right they had to be satisfied with a mere technical answer of the Com - ler? Was it possible that they were afraid of the Comp troller? Was it possible thats majority of that board would Fa; patra that they were satisfied? In this nineteenth century, would rest satisfied with an answer that was no answer? if any one ina more subordinate capacity was to send such a one, the whole city would ring with denunciations against him. It was a mere evasion of an im it guestion—a question involving his power and . at did the gentleman of the Twentieth ray? We were to presume he did not mean that; and that though it was not an answer, we might through with it. He hoped that it would go back, for they had as much right to exact one from as from any other officer. Durmax—After such a very eloquent and pera Bae ee who could resist the conclusion that the roller had not answered the question, He eee D.) had no objection to its back, though e still thought it was all they could get. Perhapshe might say he had exceeded his authority, but he did not suppose he would, iderman Bristzy.—Though they did live in the nine teenth century, they thought now that they had got the Comptroller under their thumb, and on a poiat where ho had overstepped his authority. He (Alderman B ) though he might be persecuted by a man and have his character tradueed, would be the first, if that man was in any dim- culty, to take him by the hand. He certainly had exceed- ed the strict boundary of his power, but he did not thiak the conversttion this evening enhanced their reputation for wisdom and digpity asa ener body. To send back that report to him was only asking him to say ina few words, “1 had no right.’ . Alderman Barr did not see it in that light. They did not want to persecute the Comptroller. They only want- ed to know where he got his authority to designate a ap and if it did come back, as it ought todo, no mem- r of that board would wish to persecate him. ‘Alderman ALvorp referred to the language pointed out, that it did not say he had “appropriated” the pier; and he thought the better way would be tolet it take its course, and proposed another revolution, asking direct- ¥ whether he appropriated it, and by what au- thority. Aidecman SrorTevant.—It is because it does not answer that I wish it togo back. If he had ssid so, and that it ‘was anerror, there might be an end of jt. There was other view. They wanted to know whether Mr. Flagg hed read the law more carefully than the board, an whether he conceived that there was any that gave him the power. That gentleman was very fond of telling the beard that they exceeded their panes: and his language was that they did not observe the ordinances they made themselves; and they wanted now to have his opinion. Alderman Bristry withdrew bis motion to print, and Alderman StukrEvant then moved that the communica- iy be referred back for insufficiency ; which was car- ried. THE SECOND AVENUE RAILROAD, Alderman OakieY moved @ preamble and resolution, that an injunction on the grantees of the Second Averue Raib oad baving been issued, the Street Commissioner be directed to relay the part of Pearl street whien had been torn up for the purpose and which was now im- ssable. Alderman FRancis would move a reference, for, as they were under the spirit of the Court, they could ‘not tell whether they might have to lay the rails again if {the in- junction was dissolved. Alderman Dxnmax did not think they were under the ree of the Court. His ‘ voice was still for war.’ (Lougbter.) Alderman Oaxtey urged the urgency of the case. The inconvenience to his eowntituents was very great. Alderman BrirLey thought the expense ought to fall on the grantee ut the contrary opinion seemed to prevail Alderman Drwaay supposed the committee could get advice, and ar it might be some question would arise, it had better be referred. an made on reference to the Committee on Streets, carried. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET. Wepnespay, April 13—6 P. M. The stock market presents a very gloomy ap- pearance, and the prospect is by no means flattering to holders of fancy stocks generally. At the first board to-day there was a very decided movement made to get rid of Cumberland. The sales were quite large, at a decline, and but for the shorts stepping in, prices would have touched much lower points. Advices recently received from the Cumber- land coal district give very unfavorable accounts re- lative to the trade. This is the principal cause of the desire tosell. Phoenix fell off to-day, for the same reason. Cumberland declined 4 per cent; Phenix, 13; Erie Railroad, 4; Hudson River Railroad, 3; Harlem, j; Reading Railroad, 3. Parker Vein ad- vanced } per cent; Nicaragua, }. The money mar- ket, within the past day or two, has slightly stiffen- ed, and there are indications of a much greater stringency. Sterling exchange was, by the last steamer, firm at 9} per cent premium, and the weekly shipments of specie have iargely in- creased. The remittances thus far this year have been only toa moderate extent, and we must look for quite an active movement of the precious metals: All this must tend toa depression of the stock mar- ket, and purchasers for a rise must have great faith and confidence to take hold of the fancies under ex. isting circumstances. We do not see the slightest basis for such a hope to rest upon. So far as the intrinsic value of the fancies now in the market is concerned, very little can be expected. This, how- ever, is usually of secondary importance; but there are no operators in the street but those who are al- ready filled with all sorts of stocks, and are com- pelled to add to their supply from time to time, to sustain the current rates. Most of the strongest, largest houses in Wall street are sellers of the fan- cies throughout the list, and holders are therefore Principally second and third rate concerns. Their ability to hold depends entirely upon the condition of the money market from day to day, and it is quite clear that any moment may witness a regular break down. The bears have decidedly the advantage, and they appear to be pretty well satisfied with the position of things. At the second board the market was more de- pressed than at the opening. Prices do not show much change, but the transactions were exceedingly limited, and no disposition is exhibited on the part of any one to purchase, even at the depreciation in market value reported at the first board. The retarns of thirty-two banks of the city of New York, for the mon th of February, 1853, compared with those for the December previons, exhibit an in- crease in loans and discounts of $5,563,076, and a decrease in the deposits of $1,162,107; specie, $1,151,064; circulation, $988,848. Silver is accumulating in the Philadelphia mint very rapidly. About two millions of dollars in value have already been received. Nearly the entire force of the mint is engaged in manufacturing the new silver coin. ‘The receipts of the Harlem Railroad Company for the first two months of the past two years were as follows :— New York axp Hartem Rarnoan, 1852, 1863, Inevense. January... $28,048 February... 26,563 Total, ‘$53,600 Harlem Railroad, being about. per cent over the same months last year; and if the same rate of in- crease continue throughout the. year, of which we have no doubt, (as the first two months in the year being winter months are the worst.for railroad trav- elling,) the receipts for the year 1853 will be $1,225,496, against $765,935; and for the whole year there will be $459,561 increase over 1852. The earnings for. March this year have not yet been made up. ‘The earnings of the Worcester and Nashua Rail- roed Company in Marci 1853, show a gain over the same month last year, of $1,700. The whole gain in the four months of the present fiscal year, is $6,200. Last year this company paida @ividend of four and-a-half per cent on the par value of shares. The directors of the New Bedford Commercial Insurance Company have voted to discontinue taking risks after the 12th inst.,and close up busi- ness as soon as possible. A new Mutual company will be organized to take ita place. ‘The total receipts of the Madison, (Ohio) Railroad Company in the year 1852, amounted to $516,414 52; in 1861, $386,068 80—increase in 1852, $130,345 72, ‘The increase of passengers in 1852 was 98,329. The majority of the committee of the Legislature of Massachusetts on the Hoosic Tunnel question have resolved to report a bill favorable to the prayer of the petitioners. There will be a minority report against the proposed loan, The committee is com- posed of sixteen, and the majority in favor of the grant will be very large. In relation to the movement in Lake Superior copper stocks, the Boston Journal of the 12th inst. says :— ‘The Minnesota and Pittsburg companies are indisputa- bly good, and promise to be exceedingly profitable on a mu er valuation than the respective stocks have attained in the market. Copper Falls also seems destined to come into the same rank, and, indeed, holds out very great expec’ations, though not as yet far enough advanc- ed to pay dividends. Leaving these, we come to more doubtful classes. In the second yet pee from such information as can be derived from good sources, we place Phenix and Toltec, both of which mines are far advanced enough to justify fair expectations Forest also has many friends, and is by sowe placed higher, though our infor- mation is somewhat limited in regard to it. Among tho jounger mines, Dana stands very well; Winthrop also, thous not yet worked to any extent, is said to be well loeated. the others occasionally quoted, we have not yet received information enough to give any opinion what, ever. One thing is likely to grow out of this copper ex- eitement, vis : se developement of our extensive mineral resources on Lake Superior—e result which will perhaps be obtained at the expense of many, severe losses, but to the advantage of the country at large. The President of the City of Branswick Company has issued a full and comprehensive report to the stockholders, by order of the Board of Directors. | Its length prevents us from giving it in full, but the annexed extract will be read with interest:— Br@xswick, Gzo.—Its Porr anp Crry. The of Brunswick lies about midway on the coast of pares in latitude thirty-one degrees nerth, longi- tude eighty one degress thirty minutes. The waters by which it is formed are commonly knowa as ‘fv river.” Correctly speaking, this river is a great inlet or arm of tho sea, the waters of which are as salt as the ocean itself. It passes between two islands, known by the names of Jekyll and St. Simon, forming a wide, deep and swift column, aud flowing into the interior upwards of twenty miles, ' It is the only salt water harbor on our southern Atlantic coast. Safe, eary and uninterrupted communication with the sea is secured at all times. crews had never before seen the port, caa enter in per- fect safety without a pilot. This is frequently done in stress of weather, by coasting vessels of heavy burthen, by night as well as'by day. Once in port they find the | Dest ancherage, completely land locked, and certain shelter from the storm. So capacious is the roadstead, that the largest navy in the world may find a secure haven at every season of the year and in any state of the elements. The harbor alxo presents positions for defence strong enough to render it impregnable, thus affording protection alike from the violence of the sea and the bat: teries of an enemy. Some years ago, the government of the United States, acting under a resolution of the Senate, appointed a Board of Commissioners to examine the harbors south of the Cherapeake Bay, in order to determine their comparative advantages for the establishment of a naval depot. Three distiguished officers of the navy, Commodores Woolsey, Claxton and Shubrick, were assigned to this duty. Afver personal inspection of the several ports whose natural fa- cilities gave them a claim on the public attention, the Commissioners, in their report to the Navy Department designated Brunswick as uniting the greatest number o1 requisite qualifications, asd as holding a position near the eat outlet of the commerce of the West Indies and the julf of Mexico, which would be invaluable in a state of mesritime warfare. The report is now on the files of the department, and constitutes the basis upon which the statement in this paragraph is made. ‘The site of By unswick is a beautiful bluff of close sand, perfectly dry, and very eligible for a city of the largest di- mensions. ‘The land rises on a regular grade. Commenc- ing at Brandy Point, on a level with high water, it ascends gradually until it reaches an elevation on the north line of the old Oglethorpe town, more particularly referred to hereafter, of fifieen feet. From thence the ascendi grade contin’ es, with the same regularity, to the point the Canai Lock on O street, at an elevation of thirty feet above high-water mark. And this is about its summit level. e best anchorage may be found near the bluff, ranging along the whole extent of the town, in from twen- ty to forty feet water at the lowest time of tide. The neck of land on which Brunswick is situated has a width, at its centre of one and a hulf miles, the front being on Ogletiiorpe bay, or Inner Harbor, as it is called. Its extreme Jength, from south east to north-west, along Oglethorpe bay, is about three and aquarter miles. It is bound ed on the by St. Simon’s Sound; on the west by Oglethorpe bay and Turtle river; on the south by St. Simon’s sound, and on the north by a high pine land (49 called.) This high pine land runs gradually back about twenty-five miles, until it reaches the sand hills in Wayne county, at an elevation of ninety-two feet above tide water at Brunswick. And this is the highest point of Jand on the line of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad. ‘The distance of Brunswick from the ocean is about six miles. Its highest temperature is vinety-four degree— its lowest twenty two degrees—with a mean temperature of sixty-reven. The summer heats are tempered by cool breezes regularly setting in from the sea; and the diseases ascribed to rome parts of the low country of Georgisgpre unknown there. Pure water and a salu- brious climate at all reasons of the year, offer securities for health and gomfort to an extent not’to be found in in any other port on the Southern coast. The superior position of Brunswick, and the natural vantages sed by its harbor for a great commer- cial and maritime settlement, have been long known and understood. About a century ago, General Oglethorpe, when Commander-in Chief of Geo-gia and South Carolina, designated this harbor as the only one on the southern seaboard adapted fore naval depot, and.ae being, also, the best, in all respects, for a commercial emporium. Under instructions from the then reigning monarch of England, George II., the Governor 4uid out the town of Brunswick. Subsequent to that event, a British severfty- four gun entered the barbor, and lay at anchor there fo: ole year. In the year 1790, when nearly all the Lipetgh territory was in the undisturbed pos- sersion of the Indians, and when no juce could reach the port, pr along the coast, a sale of the town lots took place. Such was the estimate of their value, even at that early day, that some lota were sold at prices va- rying from £500 to £800 sterling, or from $2,400 to up- wards of $4,000 each. pS TE During the last session of her Legislature, a charter was granted to the proprietors oi the city of Brunswick, under which a complete tacoma of the company has been effected. The capital stock has been fixed at three millions of dollars (3,000,000), in thirty thousand shares of one hundred dollars (100) each. ‘The property of the company consirts of three thousand and fifty-seven city lots, including the old town of Brans wick, as laid out by Governor lhorpe—embracing, as already stated, an area of about three miles and a quar- ter—directly upon the water front. In addition to thé city lots already surveyed and located, the company own several tracts of adj and in the immodiate vicinity, comprising fourteen fundred. and sixty-five acres. In the purchase of these lands, and in the im. rovements upon them, the sum of six hundred thousand lollars has already been expended. A spacious hotel, with outbuildings, wharves, store houes, dwelling houres, and land oulverts, for the city, have also been constructed. * * * @ 8% @ @ $800 US 6's, "67 1000 Ohio 6's, '79, 2000 Penn State 5's 4000 Ill Interes' 63 2000 E ist Mt Bds. 03 119 4000 ERR 2d Mt Bd.+3 107 $000 Erie Inc Bds, 28 97% 6000 E RR Cy Bas, "71 9634 1000 do 62 97% 2000 Nor Ind RR Bds. 100% 1000 Ga& C7 pct Bds 9f3¢ 7 she Del & H Canal 122 30 State Bank. 3 100 11 Am Ex Bal 86 Metropolitan Bk, 12 Continental Bank 90 40 4 9914 20 Ocean 103 20 Central Bank. 100 700 Morris Canal,.03 224 500 223% 200 bss 2286 100 30 29% do, 4 10 Manhattan Ins Co 124 20 Mereantile Ins Co 100 160 Manh Gas Script. 120 200 Montg Ming Coed 13, 0 seeee8lO 136 ‘ ri 25 Sixth Avenue RR 117 Ships, whose masters or | 32 400 Phoenix MCo.30 203, 200 Florence & Keyp. 100 Nica Transit Co, 200 te dining’ 65 1 2 lon! in! 19 SixthAvenue RR 1% 60 Harlem 64 5 Harlem RR Pref. 109 100 Syrac & Utica RR 15d CITY TRADE REPORT.
