Debates In the Board of Aldermen, [Oar Special popest ] At the Board of Aldermen, last evening, a discussion ‘took place on the minority and majority reports present- ed by the Committee on the Law Department, in con- formity with a resolution carried at the previous meeting, imregard to the meanivg of the fourth section of the amecded charter of meee vine rhe ther, under this sec io any measure invol ty can noted on by the Bosrd. es ee llows: A ieee es cir —— ap riating money or g the expendi ure of money, Bot renderes im, er tive under the iaions of any State Jaw, shall originate in the Board of Councilmen; bat the Board of Aldermen may propose or concar with amend- ments, as in other cases.”” + It was contended by the majwity report of Alderman ‘Wakeman, and consented to by Al a Mott, thet the Board can act wpon any msasure involving the exprndi- tare of money, by proposiag or concurring ia amendmerts ‘thereto, s4 ia other caves. That the effect of the fourth ection of the charter of 1853 is narrowed down to a small weompass, and that the provisioha of the tenth section of ‘the charter of 1830, providing that aay law or ordinance or resolation of the Common Council may originate ta either Board, &c., still remains in foree, with a slight lifeation. ‘The minority re H fete by Alderman Lori, set forth es the interpreta of the foarth section of the amended cre ening ects connie ies wah ey measure in: expenss, £0 faras to propose or aes with amendments, but that the section er; Gtreoted that all such measures rhould origwwate Gouncilmen, unless they were rendered inoperative by It on'y remained to be determinsd,then, ‘what clarses of money ordinances were rendered impera- tive by State laws, (which classes oan originate in the Foard of Aidormen). By imperative, such measures ‘Were iniended as were not in the cissretion of Jom. mon Council whether te prss them or not, as, for in stance, if the Stat should directs certain sum to be le- vied by tax. &c., the Common Council would not thea be a ‘to refuse to pase,the act. But au ordimance to @ money to erect andia to purchase materials and to hire joes, would be mea- sures ly , and all such must originate with the Councilmen ‘The r-port further set forth that the 18th section of the smen ‘sd eharter of 1630 enacted that annual aad oc- casionsl mances of mmon Oouneil for every of the ety expenditure, &o. The sudseriber did not ve that this section was a State law, imperative oa the Cormon Oonveil, witsin the section 4th of the act of 1853, and consequently that 6 Board of Aldermen might origisate crdwwances for every branch and object ty expeaditure, admit this section to bean inperat ve State i would be virtually to repeal wection 4 ef ‘the act of 18: ‘the two gestions, with this gonstruction, were inconsistent Section 18 of the ast of 1830 woul! therefore be repealed by the act of 1853, be- enose the latter act affirme! such portions only of the former as were corsistent with it. The conclusion drawn from this was either that the section was not imperative within the meaning of section 4 of the act of 1853, or if it were that it has been repealed by the act of 1853. | ‘The subscriber could not think it imperative withia the meanicg cf the rection referred to, use, sithough ft reads that the city sbail make appropriations for oer. ‘tain objects, yet It left the creation of tnose objects op- dona! §=Where a Jaw enacts that ifone buys an article Dee rhe)! pay for it, such, pi operly, isnot a law imperative Yo pay for the article And for che same reason, the act of 1630, when it requires the Bosrd of Aldermen to make @ppropria:ions to pay certain expenses, which ene may Or may not exeate, is rota jaw ee upon the Board to meke such appropriations. The re: further con- tended that to give any other construction to these sec- tions would be to allow the very acts intendad to be for- bidden, en} would have the effect of having an old law Fepeal anew one. be foregoing is the substance of the majority and mi- | wority reports, presented by the different members of the | con mittes, aro the arguments suggested ia favor of either by the aldermen who took up oue site or ihe cther. After many moticns and amend sents had been made and dont, it wae Gosily rerclyed that the :eports should be re- tives, att epee ibe table, avd printed. KISIGNATION OF MR. ARCULARIUS.

We alluded yesterday to a complaint pending before Justice Stuart, chargirg Madame Restell, of 162 Chambers atreet, with producing an abortion on the person of a young woman whose name we had not learned. Since then, however, we have seen the affidavit, and find that the party complaining is one Ocrdelis A. Grant, a native of Portland, Maine, a very pretty young woman, of twenty- two years of age, whose parents, we understand, are still residents of that place. It now appears from the facta in this exciting o1se, that Mr, George R. Shackford, a wealthy gentleman occupying a splendid mansion at Fordham, Westchester coun. ty, became, some seven years ago, scquainted with Miss Grant, while on « visit East, and by a mutral arrangement entered into between them, she agreed to elope with him. They went direst, by pacmet, to New Orleans, where he represented her as his Jawful wife, and in the like manser they travelled to va rious parta of the country and then returned to New York, where they took up their abode. Since this time it appears by the sworn affidavit made by Miss G-ant, she has occupied towards him the ition of a kept mistress, and at h's instance has saff no less than five abo Mons. Three of them have been the work of Mi Restell, and the other two were operations done in Mas- sochusetts. Up toa few days sgo she was acting as housskeerer, at his mansion in Westchester county; some diragreement having taken place between them, oa the arsumption that he istended to abandon her, and she, fearing to de left destitute in the'world, preposed elk [leery b: Pro) was him; hence, in view of enforcing her demand, the ‘oom, plaist before the Police Justice was pref and the whole matter exposed to the public. Mr. Sbackford is @ fine, gentlemanly Joo of about thirty five years of age, phia Be is said to be worth $100,000, amd in concerned in an extensive wecl house in Pearl street His mother resides im Philadelphia, and is eatimated to be worth $400,000. Mr. Shackford 1s said to be her only child The following is the sutsteroe of Miss Grant’s affi_avit, but as yet no cor- roborative testimony appears: AFYIDAVIT OF MI8S GRANT Cordelia A. Grant, sworn, saye—I am a resident of New York and twenty two rears of ege; and further, that for the last seven years past, mostof the time, { have resid ih George R Sheekford as his wife, oohabited and lived witb him 9a bis true and lawful wi‘e, and as such sve been introduced to various persons; that duiing that perio¢ I beve been enciente him five times; and that on each and every time an abortion bas been pro duoed at the instance ard procurement of Mr. Shackfor which bas very much iajured my constitution.

The canala ware protested from c>mpati. tion by State Jaws, and the peopl at large haya mot beer benefitted by the lower rates establieh-<; for what came off the tolls went oa to the freight, so that the Siate Treasury has been depleted, nnd the people in no way helped, bat the forwarders he'ped by larger freight bills. Thus the ten milliona of dollars—the eum a>w oalled for to euJarge the canals—hava been taken from the State Treasury ty the unyike polley of recant Oa ns! Boards, end now the people are called upon to tex themeelves for the parpore of distritutieg that emount among a sxt of pylitical speculetors and Cuaccial ew nclers, The net revenue of the canal? would, even if much larger, after such enormous atdi tional expenditures, be ef less service to the treasury than (bat now realized. It might »e larger in amount, but it would kave to be appropriated to more purposes, We, however, doubt if it woulibe apy greater. Within the last threo years thers has beem great extravagance i the administration of the affeirs of the canal, wad if it continues at the rame rete, we ekall Gad that the gross | amount of tolls ovllected increases, the net revenue will decreave, With this etate of thngs, any burdeo aide! to the caral revenues will lo.ve lesa to go towards the liquidation of indebtedzees, By adding ten ruil ions of ‘8 to the present cane! debt, an annual net revenus ¢q1sl to that of 1865, would be required to pay even the nterest, leavirg the priacipal uatouched. We oanno; | close theen remarks more appropriatsly than by giviaz the following extrasta from the iast report of the Canal Department upon this subject:— The policy of the Canal Board of 1835, had it basa carcied cut, would bave enabled the State t> repeal toe vax for the Fupport ot the goverament, and to redaze the retes cf tolls \wo-thirda or three-fourths, and whils shu commerce of the canals would taus early hays bea re leved of this oppress'vs burden, and have been unfettered in ite competition with rival rentes for the weatern ‘rade, there would have been no canal de dt. Bot, uefortumately for the State and for the public works, this policy wae departed from {a 1838, and s debt tor the carain bes been created, which pow amounts to sboat $17,000 000.
