In com nee with this ordinance, the Comptrolier respectiully invites the attention of the Common Council to the following presentation ef encroachments on thy property of the city: — ss L—THE CASE OF JOUN J. HICKS. Mr. Hicks obtained a lease in December last, for ® ferry to Williamsburg, from his property, consist- ing of one half of pier No. 35 East river, and a balk- | head of about one hudred feet on the line of Front { Btreet. In the grant he was anthorized “to sink & block on the southea-terly side of pier No. 35 East river, for the purpo e of erecting bridges and other | fixtures; and further, to provide good and sufficient bridges, ferry ac ions, &e., at each landing” ent tle Same may be required , Mr. Hicks made a contract to sink a bulkhead from pier 35 | a@-roas the slip, 113 (eet, and from the latter point to South street, 160 feet. ziving him an area of about 18,600 square feet, equal to a little more than seven lots, which are wortil, i the estimation of pgrsons in tha’ viein'ty, 28.000 each, or $56,000. is is Mr. Hicks’ interpretation «f that clause iu his grant which aut him to sink « block. The Comptrolier contends that inasmuch as the of the river, at that point, is notembraced inthe grant ander which Mr. Hicks holds his bulkhead, and is covered by the grant tothe corporation, under the Montgomery charter, Mr. Hicks has ne right to fill in the slip and muke land for himself, without first —— & grant ‘rom the Commissioners of the Sinking F and paying the city for the land, and 2hen obtaining an order trom the Common Council, authorizing him to fill tp the slip and make land for jAimeelf, and that the indefinite provision for sinking @ block on the southeasterly ets of a pier of 300 im length, does uot authorize him to fill up half the length of the slip and make seven lots of Jand for himselt, without compensating the city for Bhe same. It is contended by the Comptroller, in the wontroversy with Mr. Hicks, that the late Comptroller and the Common Council could not have intended in ahe grant of a block to use seven lots belonging to city, where in the same grant it is stated that he torun the ferry from his own property, and there- bas the privilege for ten years, at $3,000 a Counsel to the tion has obtained an Seren case will be decided by 0 the commencement of this suit, and on z asf. # | : i She 23d of May, a letter was written to Ms. Hicks, a i i sti ‘of whict fe tanned ‘and marked No.1.

The following resolution was adopted by the Com- mon Council in May last :— | Resolved, That permission be and the same is her given to C.

There is outside of this line, in the water-grant from the Stute under the Jaw of 1821, an area of more than irteen acres. The area, including the Battery and water grant of the State, to an extent of 600 feet, is | equal to 57 acres, 3 roods and 31 poles,a fraction | | less than 38 acres.

Whatever can be done legally by the finance department, under the ordinance of 1544, in defendiag the real estate of the corporation, will be done to prevent this encroachment on the Battery.

We learn from the San Antonio Ledger that the Santa Fé mail arrived there on the 9th inst., bat brought no news from Santa Fe. The Ledger says: We learn from Rife, the mail conductor, that ‘Trias bas taken possession of Mesilla territor; i which commences about thirty-five miles above El Paso, on the Rio Grande. He swears he will not give it up without a fight, Lrg i he affirms that the Ame- ricans will flagellate him in the event of a col lision. The bad feeling which lately existed bhe- tween the Americans and Mexicans on this’ side, and the Mexicans on the other, has entirely sub- sided, 80 much so that on the Ist or 2d alt. a fan- dango was given in El Paso, and a general invitation was extended to the citizens of McGoffinsville aud Franklin, and the country adjacent.

On his upward trip, while encamped at Live Oak Creek, seven miles this side the Pecas, he was visited by a body of tgs * three Lipan warriors, with their chief Guapo. They constituted but a relay of a con siderable Boay encamped some miles distant. They were very friendly, Both on the upward and dowa- wordtrip the train met innumerable Indian signs, including smoke.

In the meantime, his influence at the Colonial Office is with- ding the royal assent from the act of incorpora- ti ernment, as was originally contemplated, at once enter upon the work. Mr. Jackson and hia friends are therefore playing “the dog in the manger.’ They cannot form the company themselves, and by their eXertions they | are preventing the government of Nova Scotia from acting in the alternative which is presented. The account of the wreck of the Amazon, at Sable | Island, bas already appeared in the HeraLp—from | the columns of which we freqnently obtain informa- by | tion that can be used officially, knowing it to be | correct—together with the subsequent plundering of the wreck by two American fishermen; the master | of one of which surrendered his portion of the pro- perty taker to the captain of the ship, who had manned a boat from the island’; but the person who | commanded the other refused to deliver up his ill- n gains, and continued his vo; le Roe a a that he had taken the property from the ship, but contended that he had a righe to retain it or to a salvage on the value thereof.

Emigration, the disappearance of capital, the extiac- tion of commerce, the total ruin of the public wealth, an absolute stagnation, depredations, incendiarism, assassinations, a relaxation of all law, insecurity, and a general panic, would be the immediate result. This state of things and British propagandism would soon carry matters upon the arena of politics. Please answer me again—Will the United States tatervene, and will an army start, after a lapse of two or four months? It would be too tate. War with the blacks would then be inevitable, and worse than the"ox waged by Napoleon in Hayti. Aud how much blood, how much treasure and time would be sacri- ficed, not in their conquest, but their extermination. Cuba would necessarily become the victiin of a catastrophe. She might enter into the confederacy, it is trae, but her annexation would receive the bap- tism of blood of over balf a million blacks, and of the tears and desolation of half a million whites, misera- ble and ruined. Is this the victory in abeyance for “manifest destiny ?” If those rumours are unfounded, if English policy will be coxtent to introduce Africans iuto Cuba, that they mney become free after a certain period, the question becomes one of time, but otherwise still re- mains the same. The freedom of the African trade, Spanish cupidity, and the actual spirit of the agri- | cultural industry in Cuba, would take annually, to that island, from fifty to sixty thousand negroes. If the period of spnrensowshlp is the same as the mean duration of the life of the slave is computed to be, the freedom sought by such means is a delusion, and the increase of slavery, to a prodigious extent, an incontrovertible truth. You have justly made the | remark. But the English government knows it. | Why, then, does it conform with a system diam cally opposed to its object? It is because, in reality, itleads to the same results. It knows it to bea truth established by history, that when liberty is erected into a principle, no barriers can circumvent it. It strides, tears down, and proceeds, and the idea is, by its own force, and despite all human com- bivations, turned into a fact. The apprentices, with | the consciousness of their situation, and the aid of | the British, would free themselves, and if the term of life of the African be longer than that of his ap- of free men and of free negroes who, outnumbering by far the whites, would control events, and arrive bent upon impelling them. The Union has omitted no opinion upon this system. Supposing that the initiative in regard to it be taken by Spain and pagiand, do you believe that, setting aside the pro- claimed doctrine of Monroe, and the right of self- | pers, the administration would allow Eng- | : a vi undertake the speedy abolition of slavery ‘al You will oblige me by publishing this letter, and by giving to my interrogatories an answer, which ill, undoubtedly, send a thrill to the most sensitive | chord of the heart of the Cuban le. 1 am, sir, very respectfully, ‘your obedient servant, P.

Sim—You have noticed in two late issues of your valuable paper the current rumors of designs enter- tained by the British government forthe Africani- ration of Cuba, and the introduction therein, under- standingly with Spain, of the system of apprentice- ship as applied to those Africans hereafter to be im- ported. In the anticipation of such a contingency, light of American interests. Will you permit a native of Cuba, perhaps now menaced with her death-bloq, to call your attention to that same question, and to present it under an as- pect which places in close communion the interests of Cuba and the United States, as well as those of humanity and civilization? Yon are cognizant of the treaty existing between Spain and England for the suppression of the slave trade. It isa bilateral contract, in virtue of which trade in her domiuions, and the latter to give her in consideration therefor £400,000 sterling. England has scrupulously fulfilled hergart of the engagement, Not so Spain, who has broken it to the scandal of the world during the lapse of one-third of a century. All the moral stimuli, and the repressive moans of cruisers against the refractory party, being exhausted, a minister of the Engiish crown has recently declared in Parliement that the government is resolved to act by itself and solely to rely upon its own effurts for the eradication of the slave trade, The treaty, as I regard it, no longer exists as | favoring Spain, and thoee rights only aecrue there- from for the redress of the injured party, which re- sult from the infraction of a compact. Great Britain doubtless intends to enforce them. But how? That is her secret. Shall it be by any tried expedients? The experience of thirty-three years stands against | of time. The contrivance will be novel, effications and irresistible. Al! probabilities justify the fear that Great Britain will, in the course of a month, dis- charge upon Cuba, a stranger to her sympathies, and as an act of self-interest under the garb of justice, the parricidal blow which she dealt on her own West India islands, postponing their social existence and her own good to the sanction of a principle. In her ample power, to effect it. You say that “ with our | knowledge of British diplomacy and the spirit of ag- | gresesion which has marked the career of that | government, we may be excused for listening to rumors which are in consonance with her past con- | duct.” | that the official or the obvious proofs of her designs will be seen through thoir execution. Assuming Uhat contingency, you add, “that the adoption of a policy, either by Great Britain or Spain, designed to renew in Onba, upon a larger soale, and in an aggravated form, the horrors and sufferings of Hayti, nvust rouse and unite against it, as a single man, the masses of the population of all sections of the United States. In such crisis, if it shall ever ar- rive, there is as little*doubt that our government will fully respond to the spirit of the people.” May [ ask of you, is this all that an think proper to do’ Is notbing to be done until the day when the horrors and the snfferings of Hayti shall be renewed? Will yon anticipate with impassibility, the St. Bartholemy of balf amillon of white civilized men? Will it not | Le too late when yon do go to their relief? How long would it take the English to consmiamate their roia, a ded by legions numbering 700,000 Africans? What tine would be required for yon to carry thither an imposing army? What will that army do! il it superintend the funerals of 600,000 corpses?

We have received another interesting letter from our correspondent at Elmira in relaticn to the affairs of the New York and Erie Railroad Company. It contains wavy impor'ant fects, which the stockholders will do weil to consider. There is no donbt but that the mana- gement of the Erie Railroad Company are rapidly sinking that concern into the lowest depths of bankruptcy. Tho nex: financial movement of the company, may be an eflert fo repudiate some of the bends, The qndstion of legality im the tasue of the first mortgage bonds bas wready been broached in the directors room, and éouneel bave already been consulted relative to the matter. It will be recollected, that about five years ago holders of bonds then due were compelled to extend the period of payment, under the threat of repudiation. We do not meen to say that the company can or will repudiate auy of their bonds, but the movement in the board of manage- ment shows what they are capable of doing if they had the power. 10 THR KDITOR OF THE HERALD.
