Committee (n Assessmenta, MENGAGES FROM TRE MAYOR. wm following message was received from the Mayor, ie Mayor's Orricz Nov. 28 1858. ‘To ruz Hon. Boarp or ALpknakN— Gentlemes—I return without my approval a report end resolution granting permission to the Second Avenue Railroad Company to exiend their present route, by lay ing rails in South street, from Peck slip to Wall street. ‘The petition for this grant is signed by only seventeen Owners or occupants on South street; and they ask for it on the ground ‘hat it wou'd be for the public benefit and the committee consider that it would condace “to the in- terest and convenience of the public generally.”” On the other hand, I find a remons ranee signed by 8 large num ‘Der of owners avd occupants on Soutb street, from South ferry to Peck slip, who protest earnestly t the ex tension, for the reaxns:—First that South is wholly needed for the immense and dail creasing traffic of the vicinity, and that many porticns of th day it is wholly occupied by carts and other vehicles, and any obstructions 1a the street would foree from the wharves many ‘veasels from the impossidility of being unloaded with de- Spateh; and, further, that tbe +xten-ion would, in « great measure, diminish the value of their property, and de stroy their batiners. Second—Tbat the grant is not called for by the interests of the public, and would be deemed nuisance by every citizen in any way iaterest- €d, and would be of no advactag to the parties applying for it. I sgree fully of the argu- ments advanced by the remonstrants, whose views aa to the propriety or expedien -y of appropriating any portion of South street for railroad purposes are confirintd to my mind by my own experience. My personal famili iri ty with South street, and the character of the business tranracted throughout almost its entire length, enavles me to speak with confidence as to the impossibility of maintaining avy regulsrity or punctualit, in the arrival and departure of the cars, Tae strest is at times com- Pletely blockaded, m me imes for hours, by the numerous arts and other vebicles which throng it, conveying freight to and from the vesss Is at the wharves; and in such cases, ‘which are not of rare occurrenos,) it would Le imposst- to keep the track clear fo: the cara, and the conse- uence would be encless confusion avd delay This Bireet probabl’. ore of the most important in the eity to the commercial community, and I cannot re- eognise the propriety or exp-diency #{ any measure which would add in any degree to :ts present encumbered condi- tion In my judgment, a railroad through the of Bonuth street proposed by the resolution would inflist an injury on the commercial interests of our city, which ‘would not be comprnsaied by any amount of public ac ¢ommodation which the :oad couid possibly afford. And holding these views, I cannot give to the measure my official sanction. JsCCB A, WESTERVELT.

What the offence is the prisoner and his friends are left to imagine; but they presume his having passed the summer in the United States—for business, recreation or health—has been tho exci:ing cause, and that for this alone ho will be held answerable under the grave charge of infidencia, These women are now mitted to remain at the resi dence of one of the relatives of the prisoner, who has given bonds that they shall beforthooming when required by the government to pass before the Queen’s attorney or the Military Comm saion. Another lady has been also imprisoned, placed in a loa , dark ceil, and left for two nights to rest upon ‘the stone pavement, (being some five months advanced in pregoaney.) for being the wife of a Creole gentleman named Silva. a family well and favorably known in im the country. She has since been placed ipecial custody of the administrador of the prison, igh official of the institution, who is responsible for her safety. Madame Silva is to be tried for suspicioa of having been a x embrr of the Lone Star Order of Odd Fellows; or—but I will not affeet to be wise in this matter, for I do not know for what the construction of this society, or what the object, unless associated with some great purpose of benevolence that may be entitled to the blessing of God.

At the first board to-day New York Ceptral bonds declined ‘;per cent; Michigan Central Railroad 1; Hudson River Rail- road 1; Reading Railroac Erie Railroad 14; New York Central Railroad 1;; Nicaragua 3; Morris Capa) 34; Parker Vein 1; Canton Co. 1; Gold Hill 1% All others closed at yesterday's prices, These fluctuations in the stock market show the ungettled state of financia aflai 8, and bow difflewt it is, under existing circum stancer, to predict any future movement in such uncer tain securities, Even the sound, substantial investments of the day are likely to be seriously depreciated before the «xpiraticn of the approaching winter. The fancies, those which actually come under the head, are destined to touch comparatively very low pointe, They have not within themselves the s ightest sustaining power, and we know of no outeide influence strong enough to overcome the natural tendency of such securities. I$ requires ths strongest rerver, and the most desperate propensity for gambling, to invest capital in such stocks as are wily operated in at the board; but they always have foued purchovers, and we suppose they always will. In buying them a man must be governed by an idea rimilar to that which induces one to try the chances cf roulette. The probability of making money is just about as goo! in one as the other. ‘The steamship Arabia, from this port for Liverpool to-day carried ont $621,121 in specie, There was am active Cemand for sterling exchange up to the close of the market.

Nine miles of thia Civision were originally laid on piles and cribbing, which were the means adopted for crowing the low grvunds and swamps, through which this part of the line passed; all of which, with the exception of about one thousand feet, is now filled in with earth. This track at present lies on firm embankments, fi uring tbe past year, ), Many portions of the track have been ballasted, and @ large nun ber cf the original spruce and native soft wood eross ties have been replaced with others of lgnumvitie, and other hard and durable woods, which will be continued throughout the whole road. These improvements being completed, as they shortly will te, snd your fron, which is of the bridge pattern, being of very superior quality, weighing 60 Ibs. to the yard, it cannot fail to be seen that you will seon have 23 yerfect a road as oan be found in the United States, as it is already of a fair average character. The erection of the bridge over the Chagres river has been impeded by various causes, among which may be mentioned an untimely flood in April last, which carried away the main+pan when nearly completed. This span is now securely placed, and tha whole bridge will proba bly be completed by Dec. 1. The substantial stone piers aud abutments are already finished. Fre m Chagres river to the Obispo, seven miles and four- fifths, the grading is nearly finished, and three miles of track are Jaid. By December 1, or as soon as the bridge is completed, the roa¢ will be cpen for the trains to Gorgona, five miles and a half from Barbacoas, the preeent termiaus, and by San. Int to the Obispo, seven miles and four-fifths or, 12 all, thirty-one miles from Aspinwall, the Atlansic ‘ter- minus. A bracch road is under construstion from the line of the railroad, near the Obispo, to the Cruces road, by which means, when the trains reach this point the pas- sengers and freight will be transferred directly from the cars tothe mules the river roate, which is now so tedious and disagreeable, will be avoided, and the transit will be readily made from ocean to ocean in twelve hours. Noting now that the grading of the remaiaing portion of the road is commenced along the Onispo, as well as at | Panama, the Pacific termiows, ani that eight miles of this distance is already clesred of the timber and pre- pared for working operationa, we have the true state of the work at the preeent tim Recapitulating, then, the substance of the foregoing, it appears that out of the 49 miles, which will be tie wao. length of the rosd from ocean ‘to ocean 231, miles are already in operation, and in good condition, and that by the Ist of January, 1854, seven and four fifth miles more, mrebing 3| miles, will be in opération, lesving 18 miles to te cons'ructed and that these 18 miles are already com ruenced at both ends, upon which largo forces are fast ac- cumulatirg. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the quantity and value of merchandise exported from this port during the week ending and including Saturday, November 26, distin- guishing the destination and extent of shipments to each place:— Commence OF THe Port or New York—Waekty Exvors.

There are 800 miles within Texas of the lize of the most favored route. Mr. Rusk then sug- greta that the State should grant twenty sections of land to the wile to a company contracting for the building of the read, with authority to connect with otnor routes, Lot Cesignating any particular startiog point on the east, put /Upulating that it should not regin north of a par ticular point, but night commence anywhere south of it in the State, That policy will give thore who are willing to invest cepital a chance t» examire and satisfy them selves ¢f the best starting point and roate; it wid bring thore at the end of that route, the connective points with other roads, to terms, in order to secure the advantages of the connection. He proporea that tho company should be required to deposit $200,000 in the Treasury of the State to be forfeited in csse « certain length of Is not finished within a year, anda forfeiture of the ter and the road finished, and the State might re- eletting to another company, if a certain length of the road sbould not be finished, yearly, until the whole was completed. Thee terms, he thinks, would not be onerour to bona fide contractors who have the means, and intend in good faith to build the road, and not ms a speculation by the sale of privileges. The amount of pub- lic land in Texas is 102,747,000 acres, and the appropria: tion he recommenda would require 10,240 000 acres, considers that the gain in the increased value of the re- rerved Janis would repay immediately many times over the value of the Iand granted. He thinks the aid of Con- gress be depended upon—we suppose by grants of lund in aid of those portions of the road which lie beyond the State of Texas. The United States have no land i Texas. The train of bis argument is to show that the line near the southern portion of the United States, cer- minating in San Diego, ia in every military point of view the best for natioral defence. It would, moreover, create the necesrity and the mesna for connecting San Diego with San Francisco by & coast rosd; thus creating a line of defences better than large armies and fleets, bring the available forces of the United States within ten days ‘posed point along the immense frontier.

Two hundred shares of Pennsylvania and Lehigh Zine sold at 334. We have now before us the last report of the President; a document, both im matter and form well worthy of imitation by mining companies. It is plaim, traightforward, and matter of fact. The company's mines have been enly worked for afew weeks. The ere is the calamine of zinc, remarkably pure, and readily con- verted by an ingenious scientific process, into an oxide. Of ore the mine now yields four, and sixty days hence will yield ten tons per day, at # cost of $1 60 per tom. Ton tons of ore can be converted into five tons of oside at an expense of $2 50, and the product can be sold for seven centsa pound. It is ha:dly possible to doubt the truth of these facts, vouched for as they are by men of the highest respectability and character; and any one can see what effect they will have upon the stock when they become generally known. The whole capital on paper being a million, the above returns would afford an annual dividerd of fifteem Percent.
