De partment whose ter os closed on the Ist of January, 1853, presented to the Comptrolier an account Bix thousand and one doliars and fiz; of the three commissioners. Tae scrount consisted fifty-nine items, anc ins ead of giving tue total amoust of the assessment in each cave, or the rate per centof the made out after the following form, viz :— th avenus, from Forty fifth to Fi ty firet street, Tho Comptroller declined to pay the acsount, for chapter 430, of the laws of 1851, 3408. ‘the reason that ibe Ac’ contained « provision “Taat the assessors of the S.reat Department shall here receive ® componsation to be fixed by the Common Conacil, which hall be in place of all fees now received by thea; bat such compensation for ail such offices shall in no ease exceed the sum of ons per eent on ths whole amount of moneys collected by assessment, to be diviled equally among them.” Although the act had been ia fali force one year and seven months, at that time the Com "aon Council bad not fixed the fees, and the assessors had fontinued to levy on ths property holders at tae rato of three per cent for their fees. The ground taken by the Domptroller was, tha; al:hough the Common Coaecil had heglected to ast, still the Legislature had fixed the maxi ‘uate compensation owners of piors in the olty of Nee York meron The sloop Tecumseh, of Raode [land, 70 tone register, and earries 700 barrels, dis- charged her esrg0 08 ler No, 11,N R, and paid 623; gente for ovecey’s Whartage, the legal’ rate. For this vivilege of ciscbarging # similar cargo on one vf the plera fo itncce Island she paid the regalar wharf tax of two conta per bareel, or $14 for the cargo. The ship Vicks- burg, of New York, 468 toma rogister, and carries 700 bales of cotton, discha: ber whole cargo on pier No. 4,N.R, in two ands balfdays, using horse power for e purpose To remove this cotton ahorse and cart were required to come on the pier four hundred times, four large or five small bales constitutinr a load. For entire use of the pier she paid three days wharfage, at $1 6234 per or $4 87 all, being the legal rate. In Baltim: 4 to pay about $50; in Boston $68; in Charleston, Mobile, and Dew Orleans, about the same as in Bostoa, The coal barge Anthracite, of Philadelphia, forty-nine tens, dis- charges her whele carge of seventy tous of coal on pier No. 4 North river, in tem hours by horse power. For the whole use of this pier she paid one day’s wharfage, filty cents being the legal rate. In Boston she would have to pay twenty-five cents per tom, or $17 25 in all, for the rivilege of discharging « similar cargo. The Harbor Master received from the captain ef this barge, for his own use and benefit, ths legal fee of $2 for simply direct- ing him to take his barge into her berth. The owners of steamboat liner and towboats new rent « latge number of piers in the elty of New York for their exclusive use, for which they pay nearly twice as much as these plers would produce if thrown open to all vessels, and the legal rates of wharfage oaly exacted. All vessels pay wharfago acsording to their registered tonnage at the Custors House, which from some erroneous syste used in the measurement, does not give their true burthea. Most vessels will carry from one-third to one-half more er measurement or heavy goods than they register at the Custom House. The law now ia being de- eigued that they should psy according to their actual burthen, but {i was found iopracticable to carry it out. ‘The following table, referred to above, embraces the entire expenditures, &3:— Aprroprianions, Exrenpirvrnes, aNp Rxorrpm or (irr Govuarmxnt, rxoM JAN. 1 To Dao 81, 1853. ‘App'priations.

This they deolined to receive, and commenced a suit on one of the items, to ‘test the question. Tne Court of Common Pleas has receat- ly decided that the act limita their fees to one per cant. Mesers. De Mott, Nicbolson & Smith also claimed in twenty two other casos the total sum of $9,784 69, which includes $7,266 for the assessment on section O of ths Becond avenue, which embraced a sam of $221,897 66 assecued on the city. They have proposed to setile on revel ving the $2,0C0 on the claim of $6,000, and ons per cent on the subsequent claims of $9 751,ths total paymsat belag @qnal te $6 252. Although this is $10,524 less than tre original claim,the Oo ptroller has declined to rec xamond to the Common Council any allowance for the asseasmont of $221,000 on the city, and has off+red to pay to the as Bessors $2,000 60 on the original claim, ard to recommend Yo the Common Council to authorize a further payment of one per cent on all the asseasments rubsequently mate by them, equa’ to $2,174 80. This is a large and liberal lowance, aithough it is $11,606 70 leea than tne a: fora’ claim. They had previously been paid $16,90 ear 1862; and if oll theese claims bad been paid it would have smounted to a total of $31,692 76, principally for the year 1562.

This is less than three pez cent on the estisistod value o! the pi and slips belonging to the city. Tuere are considera! amounts in arrears, but in many cases notning will be re- alized from them, owing to the fact that the lessees pestially or wholiy deprived of the use of the piers in (ing, rebuilding, or repairing them. Thi eavy rebate demanced aud allowed every year in consequenca of these interruptious. Why isit tha: the piers aad slips which farnith sccommodstions, such as they are, to an smount of commercs from whica the goveroment ef the United States collected fer tue year ending Dec. 31, 1853, & revenue of $12 ;579 840 90, on & part only of the imports, 48 8 Cepreseed tn valuo, that there is no encouragement for constructing such docks as the extext of tor ousiness would seem to warraal? I+ it not owlog in @ degrea to the fact that the rates of wharfage are 80 low that the investment cf capita! in this species of property fiads no adequate return? Whilst our wharves are in s state of dilapidation, and the repairs on then gradgingly made, cepital is readily iuvested ia stores for the accommodation cf the growing trace which commeroe ®oncentrates here. It is freely bestowed in conatruciiag public houses for the accommodation of those who visit this Sity, as the distribution of the fruits of this commerce to all of the country; and it is not sparingly devoted %o the construction of ‘steam and sailiog vessels waich ‘gre unequalled and fully up to the wants of comm . When the demands of commerce are so argent that one of these fine ships, with a valuable cargo, must wai: five Dr tom days to get s berth ata suitable dock, why is it tbat an owner cf this whar! property will fill'up @ slip with forty feet of water for the purpose of making ® few Duilding lots? With euch @ demacd for berths, why is it that the slip where the Great Republic was barred, in consequence of being aground at low tide was ot dredged out, and its capa sity adapted to the reception and secure accommodation of the cea monster which wis brought into our waters by the great cemand of merce? Can any other cause bo assigned than the fact that for forty yrare we heve bad an iron ru's in ragard to tho Fates of wharfage, which will not permit wharf and slip Property to expand ana keep pace with the wants of com- mnerce! It te stated by those who are paying thecity fou: or pix thousand dollars annually {ors picr anslip,that at the Jogal rates cf wharfage they coaid not collect half, or wertainly not two thirds, of the sum which they are pay- They are forced to do this, in many cases, from the mecessity of having s fixed place, and even after sn>mi: ing to there eovere exactions, in many iaatance) those whooclaim to have svthority will embarrass thea by keeping them out of the very berths for which they a:e paying these rates. The regulations of the State aad city government, it is believed, require revision and amendment ia order to secure the rights of ship masters aa well as lessees from voxstious exactions, owicg to the Getects in the regulations or abuses in their execution. By the general act in relation to the city of York, pas a et 0 exactions are allowabie on the piers, But resolu’ have been passed allowing persons to make grections over the waters of aslip extending out thirty- Sve feet from West street, and son etimes interfering witn ‘the rights of adjoining ow 0 4d. ‘This seems more ob jectiona! 184 covering on & portion of a pier, to ene!

This court was convened by order of the President of the United States to inquire into the facts connested with the Icas of the United States transport steamer Saa Fran- cisco, as alse into such matters as may relate to the em- barkation of the troops and the conduct of the officers and men of the command. ‘The Court met at 12 o'clock, at the office of the Com. mander-in Chief, (General Soott,) No. 114 West Eleventh strect, all the members being present. The court having been previously in sesret session then opened its doors, and upon entering the room with a city reporter we were informed by General Scott, with the concurrence of the Court, that ‘if there were any report ers in the room he desired to say that they neither in yited nor declined their presence, but wished it to be un- derstood that they would be admitted just as any other citizens who might desire to hear the pudlic proceedings of the court.” The Goneral very kindly added that he de- sired us to have all the facilities which the room afforded for writing. A table was furnished us accordingly, for which, as well as for the general courtesy extended to us by the Judge Advocate and other members of the court of inquiry, we take this opportunity for returning our most gincere thanks. General Scott them observed to the Court that it would be improper to proceed with the taking of testimony until the arrival of the officer into whose conduct they were more particularly directed to inquire, (referring to Col. Gates.) This officer was accordingly notified that the court was in session, General Winfield Scott, the president of the court, whore glorious achievements have made his name a household word throughout cur land, was seatedat the head of the table. Before him lay the splendid sword presented to the old hero by the State of Louisiana, It bears the following inserlption:— Prerented by the People of the State of Louisiana to General Winfield Scott, for his lees at generalship 5 ‘Mo! exhibited in the siege of Vers Cruz, the battles of Cerro Gordo, Contrieras, Churubusco, Molino del Rey, Cha- pultepec, and to his final entry into the.clty of Mexico, We are happy to say that the General is lookiag well, though still enflering from the effects of his fall. Oa the right of the President of the Court was seated Brigadier General Stanton, of the Quartermaster’s Department; aud on bis left, ColoneY Sumner, of the Ist Dragoons—the foot of thg table being oceupied by Major John F. Les, the learned and able Judge Advocate of the army, who conducted this investigation on the part of the goveru- ment. Coknel Wm Gates, of the 3d Artillery, who also commanded the troopson board the San Francisco and whose conduct has besn so bitterly attacked by some of the country press, without giving himan opportunity to defend bimself—was then informed that the Court was in seesion and desired his presence, The Colonel was dress- ed in the undrese uniform of his grade, and upon entering the 100m took a seat upon the right of the Judge Adyvo- cate. A reference to the order concerning this investi- gation will show that the investigation of the conduct of this officer is one of the principal objects contemplated in the institution of the present inquiry. ‘The Court then rose and took the oath prescribed in such cares by the regulations, the Judge Advocate ad- ministering it. The Jadge Advocate was in his tura then sworn by the President of the Court. Upen the conclusion of this ceremony the following or. der, concerning the court, was read by Major Lee:—= COPY OF THE ORDER CONVEXING THE COURT.

As the steamship could not be got ly by the date designated {n the orders the 20th October, General Wool, who was then in this city, and to whom the matter was referred, would not make his decision, but referred me agaia to General Soott; by General Scott’s diection, I immedi- ately telegraphed to the Quartermaster General, giving the offers made by the twe vessels, Io answer, T received this:— Gxvanat’s Orrice, -ARTERMASTER a Wasuinoron Orry, Oot. 11, 1853.

R-port in Beta io regard to Mr. Aspinwall’s offer. Will hissteamer be able to take the supplies, say for nive or twelve months, for the command, and does he offer the whole ship for $76,000? Tam under rome apprehension that troops would be subjected to great inconvenience if put on board of » clip per ship. Tney would be either smothered by the close- ness of the vessel, if it be close, as I undestand those ves- fels necessarily are, or be constantly wet, if it be not kept with closed hatches, Inquire into this matter par- tieularly and minately. 1 understand that the insurance offices demand higher insurance on the cargoes of clipper ships to the Pacific, than on those of ordinary ohn because they are so much more liable to damage in consequence of the closeness of the vessel, Lot this mat- ter be investigated. Time 1s an import ant matter in all military movements, but the health and comfort of the troops are more s0. Has only ship been offered? I had supposcd that public notice would bave produced a wide competition, and that we would have had ‘vessels to selegt from. What is the time estimated for the voyage to San Fran- cisco by the steamer, and what by the clipper? Also, what would be the time required by the best packets, and what the cost?

Wool, I chartered the San Fransisco, After the charter was mate and she was ready for the service, she wa: turned over t> the commanding officer of the troops, Colene! Gates, and the Regimental Qurtermaster, Lieut. Samuel L. Fremom® to receive the troops and their freight, and I considered her entirely at their disposal. Question by the Court--Did you superintend the load. ing in of the freight or its et in the vessel, of io that regard? take ry, cires 1 did not; I was occasionally on board of her, but I gave no orders; I left that business to the commander of the troops the Quartermaster of the regiment; I will Sevouteie Stier msate eae en a got the stores on board aud perhaps the main part of her own stores—some Officers bey Dale still to go on her—to see if she had room left for ba fg was said that the nine months provisions which ahe on board bad rot left room enough. After I had done se, and reportei to Gen. Wi he directed three months’ supplies to be taken out o! her, which was dene. Queetion by Court. Why was this? Answer, Forwartof convenient room in the vessel; not cm account of the sinking of the veese| in the water; her 6 al was not then all aboard of her, as I think, Question by Court. Did you examine her again when her full load was ia? Answer. Yes; I was on board of her again a day or two before abe went to sea; I made an effort to visit her the day she sailed, but che had dropped down the bay. Question by Court, Was she then loated deoper than ‘was thought safe? Answer, I never heard any suspicion as to her safety, but I thought she was loaded too deep for speed, on ac — of her having # large quantity of coal to las: her to Question by Court. Was care taken to prevent apy un- necessary supply of coal? Anewer. Yer, and of anything elss not required for the Voyage, except the ix months’ sabsistence for the moa, which perhaps jwas rather mors than was absolately meeted; I 1eccived special instructions in that matter fiom the Quartermaster General. Quanrer Master Gewerat’s Orrice, ‘Wasuinctoy Crry, 5 1883, } Coresti—A. has reached me unofiicially that the owners of the F.ancisoo mean to take three years’ supply of stores, and subsistence for the captain and crew, smounting to 180 in all. I do not credit the story, for such an attempt would bes fraud ; yet the rumor having reached me, it tv my duty to ioquice into it, No vessel g: toa port on the Pacifio takes usually more than a twelvemonth’s supply ; the troops take only that supply, and the ship must be limited to the same, the deoks of the ship should not be encumbered with any but there shouki be a room for the men to exer- cise. If the wajons cannot be taken in the hold they will bave to be ehipped in some other vessel. There should not be more coal shipped than the quan- tity required to reach the frst point at which the vessel is to coal, and by all means scflicient room should be re- nerved for the stores of the offisers and men. Look closely to all these matters, and have the pro- — of the sontract so specific as not to admit of dis- putes, Very respectfully, your obedient servant THOS 8.

B Abstract of the Report of the Committee of Counciimen on Harbor Encroachments., ‘The Committee of three appointed by this Board to pro- cred to Albany to be prevent at the meeting of the Com- mittee of Commerce and Navigation of the Senate, to at- tend to the protection of the corporation rights of the city as to ‘‘Encroachments upom the Harbor,” reported that they found at Albany a Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, anxious to have some Legislative measure enacted by which the East river should be protected from further encreachments on either sbore; they ably laid before the Committee of the Senate the injury that had already been done by the narrowing of the stream, and the Cangers that our commercial prosperity was threat- ened with, ebould certain encroachments now in progress be allowed to be consummated, The interview resulted in the two Houses sending their respective Committees on Commerce and Navigation, to examine in person the patare of the contemplated excroachment, The Cor mittee of Councilmen attended all the mect- ings of there Committees during their stay in the city, supplying them the means of giving both shores of the Esst 1iver a thorongh examination, and aided in bring- ing before them such information as would enable them more readily to perceive the iniquity of the enoroach- ments in a merely commercial point of view. The Chamber of Commerce advocated the of an act for the ap tment ~f a commission of ifferent an¢ high minded citizens, to establish a deflzite nad De manent line for bulkheads and pierhea¢s on each side of the East river, Although the committee did not approve of this measure, they were satisfied it had been suggested in good faitn and ocntemplated the preservation of the harbor from de predation by ourselves and neigh! con- sequentiy they offered no objection to it, concei it better that the Common Council should deliberate oa and determine the course necessary to be taken upon the sub- fn The erik and prudence of this respectable ly of citizens bo felt when the time come: that the city of New York will have to maintain her commercial privileges by falling back upoc her ancient charters, and Bhould now be treated with conside:ation and respect, After going on toray, that a very broad river, oa ine ‘bosom of w. the major portion of our extensive com merce rested, has been’turned at one poiat into a sanal, the committee report that these encroachments on tits important arm of the sea were not recent, but were of long continuarce, and apparently peren: Wherever private cupidity could sufi siently influence the corporate authorities, piers wore run farther into the dim aish- ing stream under the pretence of accommodating com merce, that bulkheads lots might follow in their tura. It was in this manzer that the bed of the river has been gradusily encroached upon from a point or nearly up toPearl street in “its entire leogth from ths Battery to its intersection with Che strest, and this iatter street in its whole extent to Corlears Hook. The report then west on to say that the slips had been filled with coal ashes by steamboats,condemuning the pras- tice cf stesmboat owners throwing their ashos overboard while at their berths. It also recommended the construs- tion of the sewers to the bulkheads where the offal could be carried off into the stream, instead of which the sewers in almost all cases discharged their contents at the head of the slips where ths water wan slack, The particular encroachment uow in progress is of a kind sufficiently important to command the serious atten- tion of the Common Council. It appeared that in 1936 an act (chap. 484), was passed, wilh the uised title of “an act to authorise Henry Patchin and others to oon- struct cocks, wharvee, bulkheacs, and piers inthe East river, in front of their lands in the city of Brooklyn, and for other purposes.”? Section lst of this act author sed Patohin and of to erect ome or more wharves on the land under water in front of their lands between Atlantic «treet aud Red Hook, Brooklyn. ‘The report containe } # series of resolutions directing the council of the Corporation to report to the Board what measures, if any, could be adopted to prevent the owners of property in mfrom ex! g_ their wharves, piers, and slips. The then stated that the com- mittee were in favor of preventirg any farther encroach- ments upon the harbor of New York, and no matter how unpleasant it might be to come in contact with their neighbors {across the waters still it was their duty as members of the Common Council, and as representatives of the people they wore bourd on the laws o! self pre- servation to make ® vigorous effort to save our navigable waters from destruction, and our Cheer} city from the fate of the most prosperous seaports of antiquity, Jersey City Intell \CCe Huneox County Court.—The Cirsutt Court is yet ossu- fed with the trial of the suit, entitled ‘Lovejoy vs, baiawin * with the probability of its continuance during this weel ‘Tax Sunraxck oF Janes Marm,.—In the Court of and ‘Terminer, Joatarday, James tried for murder, and convicted of manslaughter last week, was sentenced by Judge Haines to as imprisonment for a term of four years in the New Jersey State prison. ‘The Ellsworth (Me ) Herald, states that Belfast Bay, at Belfast and eoyes was frozan over co that the steamer oy re opal gp icp isi amie RITINE TELLIGENC Movements of Ocean Steamers, RAVES OR eum - Liverpool... ara og aes ‘Havre [New York....-Hav. & N. 0.
