By the arrival of the steamship Alps at Boston, and Atlantic at Sandy Hook, we are enabled tolay before our readers a very complete synopsis of one week’s later news from Europe. Our summary would have been far more complete had not the lat- ter vessel got aground at the Hook. We are sorry to say she had not succeeded in getting off when last heard from. The news brought by the Atlantic is most impor- | tant. It was announced in the Paris Moniteur—the | official organ of the government—that the Czar’s | reply to the Napoleon letter had been received in that city on the 18th ultimo, and that the overtures for a peace arrangement which were contained in that important paper had been rejected by Nicho- Jas. It was the opinion of the Moniteur that after the decided negative of the Russian autocrat there remained no chance of a pacific solution of the East- | ern difficulty, Inthe meantime, the war prepara- tions which were in such active progress in | England and France when the Alps sailed, | were perfected by the embarkation of Bri- tish troops at Dublin, Southampton, and Liver- | pool, the voting of the army and navy supplies | in the House of Commons, and the shipping of | French soldiers from Africa for Turkey. Qaeon | Victoria had issued a proclamation agtiust the ex- | | portation of munitions of war or marine machinery to hostile Powers. Machinery may be sent to friendly mations, Joseph Sturge, with the English peace deputation, were at St. Petersburg, but had failed to see the Czar, So far as relates to the details of the war | movements, the news by the Alps not materi- ally altered from that previously received. The ex. tensive preparations for hostilities in Eagland and | France continued with unabated activity. No fur- | ther fighting had occurred in the Principalities, but H it was daily expected that the Russians would make | ‘another attack on Kalefut. The Russians had ren- | dered themselves so obnoxious to the peasantry that it had been found necessary to confine the sol- diers to the camp, in order to preserve | them from assassination. From Asia we learn that the Russians had again been repulsed from fort Chefkatal, with a loss of two thousand men. Loui Napoleon’s™ letter in reply to the Czar ‘s reported to have produced great indignation at the palace of St. Petersburg. Military preparations were st forward upon a most magnificent scale thro: Russia, but the unmistakeable signs of a rev ary spirit in Poland had rendered it prudent to sus- | pend the withdrawal of troops from that qnarter. Omer Pacha’s camp gt Shumla had been brole up; he was strengthening his position at Kalefat, | and additional fortifications were being made at Consta:tinople. An escort of eleven British war steamers took six thousand men from the Turkish capital on the 7th inst., but their destination is not stated. According to the very latest news by the Atlantic, the Russians were bombarding Rustchuk, and mor was current that they had captured seven ish ships. Owing to the equivocal position of tria, Napoleon was said to be on the point of pla one hundred thousand troops on the Italian frontier, Three thousand troops left Liverpool for Tar key on the day the Atlantic sailed, and the war | feeling in England had reached a pitch of excitenient that scarcely knew any bounds. By the Alps we bave the brief announcement of | ra- { discussion was the Senate bill granting between five | hibitory liquor bill to a third reading, by a vote of | slavery in Cuba. The subject of slavery generally ; subject with General Lafayette | ten o'clock the Colonel had not appeared. | tic. The British funds became depressed; cotton | fell off in price and activity, and brea !stuffs rose to figures corresponding with those reported by the , Europa. ‘The News. On the opening of the United States Senate yes- terday, Mr. Everett explained that he was prevented by illness from remaining throughout the long sitting on Friday, and was consequently unuble to record his vote on the Nebraska bill. He now wished his name to be placed on record aga'nst that measure, Mr. Clayton made a similar request; but objection | was made, on the ground that the various other gen- tlemen who were absent would probably also desire | the same privilege. ‘This would establish a bad pre- | cedent—one that might in some caves change the | original tenor of the votes on passing or defeating | bills. On reference to the despatches, it will be seen | that Mr. Everett was furnished with a certificate of illness by Drs. Seward, Wade ana others, Quite an interesting debate took place on the re- ceptior of the Free Farm bill by the Senate. Gen. Cass fhought the time had ceme when the govern- men# should cease to derive revenue from the sale of the public lands. He was iv favor of the bill. Mr. Mason intimated that if thismaeasure should become a law there would certainlybe a change With regard te the purchase of territory in future. ‘This is the point, exactly. The people of the old and nearly all ef the new States, upon sober second Enought, will not be likely to quietly sebmit to have money paid out of the public treasury for land in-«rder to pro- vide farms-free of cost te all those wko may desire them. Further, accordiug to the decds by which several of “he old States ceded their-eaperfiuous do- mains tothe general government, it»vas expressly stipulated ‘that the land should be soli! for the bene- fit of all tke States; therefore, if these contracts are to be set-aside on the part of the government, the land shonid revert to and be distributed among the States. The bill will probably be: ssported by the Land Committee to-day, and we shai! consequently soon have an opportuntiy of assertaining the senti- ments of the Senate concerning this important sub- ject. It bas always been hinted that this measure, in connection with’ the Nebraska-Kensas bill, will effectually put a check vpon the extension of slavery. We shall se ‘The House of Representatives was principally en- gaged on business .connected with the orga- nized territories yesterday. The chief topic of and six hundred thousand acres of land to aid Min- nesota in the construction ofa railroad from St. Paul’s to Lake Superior, the distance being two hundred miles. Mr. Lane, of Indiana, stated that he had been informed throvgh a reliable source that Many persons now in Washington, including Con- gressmen, were deeply interested inthe passage of his bill, in consequence of having lately become the ewners of immense tracts of Jand near the terminus of the road. This statement tends to confirm what we have hitherto said concerning these extraordi- nary railroad land speculating schemes. In the course of the day several gentlemen made known their opposition to these projects, and declared that they would conflict with and materially detract from the benevolent objects of the Free Farm bill. Thisix an indication that Congress is about to pur- sue the eld road with regard to the fand question-— the House will repudiate the Senate’s railroad bills, and, by way of retaliation, the Senate will kill the Homestead bill. A large number of bills of considerable importance to the inhabitants of this city are slowly undergoing consideration in the Legislature. Among these is one proposing to create a Board of Commissioners to inquire into the causes of fires. After another long debate, the Senate yesterday ordered the pro- seventeen to ten. It provides that the law shall go into operation on the Ist of August, without being | submitted to the people. The Universal Republican Democratic Society held a regular meeting last evening, in the Stay- | vesant Institute, at which a variety of business was transacted. A petition relative to the case of Frederick Weichel was approved of, engrossed, and directed to be forwarded to Washington for presen- | tation to the Senate and House of Representatives. Members were very indignant at the amendment made in the Nebraska-Kansas bill, on motion of Senator Clayton, by which aliens who had declared | their intentions to become citizens were excluded | from the exercise of the franchig in the Territorial elections. It was ordered that a strong protest— | not a petition—against the clause be forwarded to | | | the House of Representatives. Colonel Forbes read an interesting proposition from the Cuban Junta, | inviting members and others to send in a writ- ten prize treatise as to the best means of abolishing was then considered, and M. Rosset. (in Freach,) stated that he bad many conversations on the in 1830, and that the General was decidedly of opinion that the existence of slavery was dangerous to + the stability of the Union and very pernicious to the South itself. The German Military Commis- sion reported that they had determined not to send | ont any men to aid the Saltan so long as he was allied with Fratce and England. The Germans did not repuaiate the principles of liberty, but objected | Knowing Dr. Gardner to be an honest man, the condition of a full discharge. At the same tim>, we r commend to the Dis- trict Attorney at Washington, th» Marshal of the District, and all others having authority in the premises, the policy of indicting and arrest- ing for trial every individual, great or small, who has shared in the spoils of the Gardner claim. Let the grand {ury indict every man of them. No doubt, from some of thm, even without the evidence of John Charles Gardner, the clue to the whole of the mysteries of th: Gardner case may be obtained. Havisg been somewhat in ~ strumental in the first disclozure of this Garda: yr fraud to the world, we are desirous to have t he whole thing, in all its ramifications, made as clear as the light of day. The letter of George A. Garduer, from Lom don, isa curious and interesting paper. He speaks with the indignation of an honest man, of the “ base origin” of the original ‘charges made against him is the Heraty. His first im- pulse was to retuen by the first ste:amer, ito “ vindioate his character,” and to ‘“ preceed against bis calumniators.” Very likely, too, but for the honesty of President Fillmore, who was neither tobe bought off nor scared off, there ‘would have been a:prosecution against us for libel by Dr..Gardner. -And who knows what might -have féilowed? Having secured -his claim of $423,000, deducting lawyers’ and agents fees, say $200,000, Pr. Gardner could have comeon to New York, instituted a libel suit againt James‘Gorpon Bernerr, making copious extracts from the Heraup upon which te dase it—he couldziave excited with his $228,000 the .sympathies of some incorruptible lawyer, merely for the love .of justice, injured in- nocence, .2.good fee, and a little spite— a lwvyer :who, for five hundred dollars, will prove to-day that white is black, and, for the same fee,will prove to-morrow that black is white ; a.lawyer who, like the talented Jeremy Diddler, is.ready to do anything in the way of charity by which he can turn an honest penny. Next, having procured such a lawyer, the in- jured Dr. Gardner could have raised the hue and cry among our envious and malignant co- temporaries, of the abominations of the Satanic press, of the rascality, the villany, and the hor- rible crimes of Bennett against the codfish aris- tocracy and all other good people; and, with these appliances, and interested witnesses, and @ prejudiced and ignorant jury, what would there be to hinder the innocent and calumniated Dr. Gardner from obtaining a verdict of at least ten thousand dollars damages? Nothing. We have had a narrow escape. In this view of the subject, we are free to ex- press our hearty thanks to honest Millard Fill- more. By bringing at least one of the real criminals to justice, he hassaved us from a ver- dict of ten, and, perhaps, fifteen or twenty thousand dollars damages for defamation of character in the case of Dr. Gardner. But for President Fillmore, he would have got off with his money, and would doubtless have made u: smoke for suspecting the honesty of his claim and for injuring his business prospects. But the fearful and melancholy fate of poor Gardner should not suspend the work of jus- tice in ferreting out his accomplices. Gen. Waddy Thompson, of South Carolina, enjoys a high reputation. He knew Dr. Gardner asa dentist in the city of Mexico. He gave Dr. Gardner a good character at Washington; he | was, we understand, the first and principal counsel of the deceased in behalf of- his claim. Gen. Thompson believed, no doubt, that his | the British Cabinet, to the rescne. The game is ‘8 tremendous one—it the dissola- tion of this Union, # ad its reconstruction into two or three, or ha! ¢ dozen, separate confede- racies. The stake» are immense: the balance of power upon t! sis Continent—the trade of the South—t'e nav a} and commercial supremacy of England upon ’ the high seas. In this work, the alliance betw’ sen American abolitionists and the anti-slavery headquarters at Stafford House is as close f 48 the “accord and harmony” be- tween Eng’ sand and France upon the regulation of all the affairs of the Old World and the New. What, then, tecomes the paramount duty of all Unic m-loving men, North and South? It is to rise at once, and meet face to face, and put down this unholy alliance between our Northern anti~ slavery factionsand the British aristocracy —t} jis unholy alliance of sedition, disunion, and civ fl war. In this view, we call upon the people of N¢ sw Hampshire, the Union-loving men of all par- ti es—without attempting to follow the dodgings (if the Administration at Washington—we call @pon them to meet this Nebraska billas a ques- tion between the Constitution and the Unionon the one hand, and the Anglo-American anti- slavery concpiracy of disunion on the other. We see that the teachings of Kossuth, Kinkel and Mazzini have sown broadcast among our German population the seeds of abolitionism; but let the people of New Hampshire open the ball on the other side on Tuesday next. It is said that the triumph of the democrats will be a triumph not-only of the administration in New Hamp- rhire, but of the Nebraska bill in the House. And what if it is? What if the administration has tackled itself to Douglas and his bill? The measure is constitutional. Let the people, then, of New Hampshire, meet the question upon this direct issue—“Shall the Nebraska bill be passed by the House, or defeated?” The whigs oppose it, the democrats are for it. The case is clear. ‘The bill hangs fire in the House, awaiting the voice-of New Hampshire. Let that voice be for the Constitution, slavery or no slavery. We-can only stand upon the Constitution. Tue Srreers—Tue Prorie’s Movement.— It will be seen, from the proceedings of the mass meeting in the Park yesterday afternoon, that the movement of the people on behalf of clean streets is assuming a definite and tangible shape. The course of action adopted at this meeting cannot fail, if followed up with spirit, in pro- ducing the most beneficent results to our city. The precedent thus established indicates the only alternative of reform in the administration of our municipal affairs. Limited asit has been to the condition of the streets, our fellow-citi- zens will perceive in this movement the key to the solution of all the existing abuses in the corporation. It is simply this: that when the patience of the people is exhansted they shall fall back upon the sovereign authority, dismiss their unworthy servants, and appoint others, and when this fails to take their own business into their own hands, demanding such amend- ments in the fundamental law as will render it practically useful, instead of being a stalking horse for corrupt speilsmen. We trust that the general committee from the several wards which is to meet at the Astor House to-morrow will draw up a petition to the Legislature, calling upon that body to make such amendments in our city charter as will remedy the grievances complained of. It is necessary that some one of our city authorities should be made responsible for the cleaning of the streets, that the people may hereafter know who is acgountable for the neglect of this im- portant duty. From the report of the Board of Health, published in another column, it will be seen that that body have taken measures for the immediate cleaning of the streets; but this does not at all interfere with the radical move- ment of the people, which contemplates a per- manent reform. Let it be followed up: Tue Eprrortat Investigation BY THE SENATE. —We have heard nothing further of the project to send the Sergeant-at-arms to arrest several of the editors in this city and elsewhere, who pub- lished sundry treaties and other secret docu- ments belonging to the Senate. Should the Se- nate pass the resolution and require our pre- sence at Washington, we shall certainly give claim was honest; and perhaps both were de- | | ceived by other parties. If, therefore, John | Charlagpsfner is not permitted to turn State's | eviden€, we should think it is due to Gen. | Thompson that he should be allowed, before a | court of justice, to explain how he was deceived ! in this Gardner fraud; and we also think the | government should permit him to return his | fee as counsel—$40,000—if he desires to do so. | And so of Hon. George Evans, President of the Board; Major Lally, Thomas Corwin, Moses B. Corwin, George Law, Mr. Marsh, and others. Let them all be heard, and let them all refund their money, if they desire it. Why should the government refuse them this simple act of justice? THe Nepraska AGrratton—DEsPERATION OF | vax Nonmnern Ayti-Stavery Fanatios,—It_ there were any doubt of the desperation with which our anti-slavery factions of the North have entered upon the work of disunion, in con- nection with this Nebraska agitation, that doubt would be dispelled by reading the North- vo Such aid for such a cause. It was announced that Colonel Doheny would be present to explain to what | point of Europe or Asia the twenty thousand Ivish- men lately organized were to goj but at half-past The annual Commencement of Dr. Aylett’s medi- cal lectures was held last evening at the New York | University. | ‘The feeling in the ‘flour market was somewhat | better yesterday, and holders demanded and ob- tained an advance of fully six cents per barrel. The purchases for export were light, and shippers were waiting the receipt of letters by the Alps, or further news by the Atlantic. The chief transactions were made by buyers to meet contracts falling due the present month. Corn was two or three cents per bushel higher, while wheat was held at firmer rates. Cotton also closed with a very firm market. We elsewhere publish the continuation of the Coroner's inquest upon the body of the man who was found murdered under very mysterious cir- cumstances, in Williamsburg. The body has been recognized as that of an Italian patriot refugee, | named Giovanni Ferdinandi, who was employed as a barber in Broadway. This ‘s the second Italian patriot who has been murdered in this vicinity with- afew months, and under circumstances which give rise to the suspicion that a cons piracy exists to destroy the lives of all who rendered themselves conspicuous in the struggles of the Italians for free- dom. We have neith room nor time to refer to much of the matter poss: € more than usual interest in this morning's paper. ‘The annexed are simply the headings of a portion of the articles on the inside pages Continuation of the Coroner's Inquest’ in the Gardner tragedy, including a history of the ease ; Late News from Mexico and Texas ; Decision in the upréhe Court on the Musical Controversy respect- ig Catherine Hayes ; Proceedings in the Court of Sessions, &e, { a handbill from Texas:— ern abolition and free soil journals of the pre- sent time.

Could further evidence be required that the Nebraska question is firing up the anti-slavery agitation to white heat? Next we may look out for an arrival of a few George Thompsons and extra Fred Douglasses from England, under the patronage of Stafford House and the Bri- tish aristocracy. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s proclamation will be very apt to bring the them all the information we can on the matter in question, and possibly ona few others, If we know but little about the treaties, we know © good deal about the Scarlet letter, which is quite as interesting as the other subjects of in- quiry; and we are ready to disclose it to the Senate. ‘Tne Lave GerMAN NesraskA Megrinc—Tae Heard Re- TORTER.—The Tribune yesterday published a communica- tion, signed “A German,” which, alluding to our previous remarks that the Germans were somewhat ina fog as to the objects of their late meeting in Washington Hall, states : “Now, it is of course unnecessary to say one word about what the Heratp suspects, as a person representing him- self as a reporter of that paper was so drunk and noisy that he could not be ‘suspected’ of seeing anything in the right light.” We deny that any drunken or noisy person represented himself asa reporter for this paper at the meeting in question. Our reporters, at any rate, are all steady, temperate, capable men. But what does it signify if 4 ‘noisy, drunken person,” did repre- sent himself as from the Heratp? Are there not impos- tors everywhere? Does not the Zribune attempt to palm itself upon the public asa moral, religious paper, while it is led with infidelity, Hot Corn literature, and oppo- sition to the marriage relation ?

The form of entry, or manifost, used for reporting her arrival, was prescribed by one of the offi. cials attached to the Havana Custom House, who visited the ship in the government boat, (Captain of the Port,) on the first visit of the steamer, in August, 1852, and has been used and accepted by them ever since. No other form was ever required, and no notification given that any other would be necessary. The ship was enter- ed as in ballast for Havana, (as she did not carry freight to or from that port.) It was never supposed that the Spanish Custom House had anything to do with freight in transit for Mobile or Néw York, and not intended to be landed there. The uscal manifests, with the ship's clearance from Mobile and New York, were always on board with the ship’s papers, but were never asked for by the Spanish authorities. - Naval Inte! nee. ‘The sloop of war Dale sailed from Bathurst river, Gam. bia, on the 84 of February for Port Grande. ‘The sloop-of-war ang aan at Kingston, Ja., Feb- ruary 16 from San Juan, Nicaragua, and sailed 21st on a | cruise; all well. | _ The frigate St. Lawrence remained at Callao January 26, She would proceed to Valparaiso in February.

Thank God, the voice of the people has not yet lost its power—it must—it shall, sooner or later, be the rights and interests of the masses be disrogar trodden under foot by men their career of venality—but, happily for us, we are not without a remedy, and I trust the time in cur history as a people when we shall lose the con- scicusness that we have in our own hands this remedy— a remedy adequate to the removal of every evil that may be brought upon our social and_political interests by the depravity of our rulers or by imbecility in the adminis- tration ‘of our government. Such an evil has been brought upon us in this city; it exists in the form of neglected streets—streets recking with accumulations of filth unparalleled, I venture to say, in any city within the limits of Christendom; not only destroying our per- sonal comfort, prejudicing our business interests, degrad- America, but threatenit us with a pestilence, from whose deadly ravliges—things remaining as they are— nothing but a miracle from Heaven can save us. Upon whom the guilt rests in this matter itis not for me to say; but that it fastens itself much among those who have been clothed with official responsibikties on this subject, there can be no doubt. Wherever it exista there let the reprobation of the people follow it, and on such forms as to furnish » salutary warning to ithers in power, that the people will hereafter hold them to a rict accountability in the ad- ministration of their offices. Fellow-citixons, we are entitled to have one of the cleanest cities on the face of the globe. Benificently located as we are between these two arms of the sea, with their ever flowing and purify- ing tides, with innumerable facilities for conveying away into the surrounding country all the refuse substances of the city, there to become invaluable fertilizers of the soil, and with the noble Croton flowing everywhere under onr feet, and ready at any moment to leap forth in ten thousand joyous streams and lave every foot of our pavement, with ite pellucid waters, why, I ask, should we not have a city clean and pure —a city whose impure and foetid atmosphere shall not make us ever sigh for the air of those hills and valleys from which #0 many of us have come. Fellow-citizens, we may have such a city. Speak dnd act as you onght’ in the exercise of your just sovereignty, and the work is accomplixhed. At the conclusion of the President’s address Mr. Mip- DIEBROOK proceeded to read the report of the committee of five appointed at the meeting of Monday to nominate another committee, consisting of two apa from ‘each Xard, whose duty it should be to take into consideration the present condition of the streets, and who should be invested with power to devise means for their thorough cleansing hereafter. The following is the report of the ggmmittee, which, with a few alterations, wus adopted byhe mecting:— First Ward.—Wim. Ryder, P. T. Milligan. Second Ward.—Jas. C. il, Robt. B. Coleman. Third Ward.—Ransom Steinburgh, Aug. Snow. Fourth Ward.—Dennis Mullins, George Butts. Fifth Ward.—John Y. Savoge, Jr., J. E. Fountain. Sixth Ward.—George N. lebrooks, Noah Warrell, Seventh Ward.—Geo.

Twelfth Ward—Abrm. 'T. Williams, Thos. Lennon. Thirteenth Ward—John Dimon, Marcus D. Bonner. Fourteenth Ward—Thos. Whelan, 8. Brower. ifteenth Ward—Richard Schell, Douglas Loffingwell. th Ward—Zadoe Pratt, Edwin Croswell. Secentecnth Ward—Geo. Cauliield, Richard P. Dunn. Eighteenth Werd—Ward B. Burnett, Benj. Galbraith. Nineeenth Ward—Anson Herrick, John Quinn. Twentieth Ward—Geo. RB. Jacques, John Coughlan. Twenty-first Ward—Kaw. B. Fellows, Chas. Tracy. - se second Ward—Chas. G. Griftin, James C. Burn- m. When these names were adopted, Mr. Middlebrooks read the following preamble and resolution, which were also unanimously adopted :— ‘Whereas, The condition of the streets of our city, from the culpable neglect of the constituted authoritics, has reached that point of dis ‘flthiness Tonger forbearance on the 7 ter rej e Femonstra neglect of an faportant duty, it hocom the part of the people to take’ its disch own hands; and whereas, under our presont city charter there 8 neither relief nor the prospect of relief—therefore, Resolved, That this meeting invest the committee, con- sisting of two persons from each ward, with the necessar authority to petition the Legislature of’ this State on behalf of the people, to so am city charter as to secure hereatter the thorough ele of our streets. After the adoption of the foregoing resolutions, Mr. Wi the meeting, it in compliance with the unanimous call ‘* came forward and oo substant 's follows:— Gentlemen—This looks like revolution ;but it is pleasing to me that we are not in a city like ancient Rome, where one of the logislators could not speak without ‘placing himself in danger of being stoned. . This is an opportu. nity I did not seek, but as you have called upon me I will not shrink from the responsibility which you, who are the rulers, have pl upon me. Ihope that the reso- lutions will be carried into immediate effect, that we may havea plaiform upon which we can stand. We have been laboring under a great difficulty heretofore. Decause we have not had anything definite to act upon. The Common Council are not invested with any power to clean the streets in the new charter. They might let out contracts, but when we went to the Comp- troller he would refuse to pay, and point us to the char- ter. Now, gentlemen, we have always been law and charter abiding citizens; and no matter what inay have been said about the inactivity of the Common neil, they have exhibited an honest determination to do their duty without violating the city charter: A Voice.—Oh, you come here to defend the Common Council! Mr. Wirpr.—I am here to defend myself and those who act with me; and it isa poor time indeed when a man cannot do either without being called to necount for it (Cheers and applause.) In this building there is now aesembled the Board of Health, who are taking the re- sponsibility of having the streets cleaned, and d—n the expense. (Cheers and laughter.) Though a reformer, and elected on the reform ticket, I am not a sixpenny- squeezing reformer. I believe this is not a village, but a wealthy metropolis, too great to stoop toa mean and miserable economy; there is no people more ready and more willing to pay for it, provided they can get an equi- valent. We bave been laboring a long’ time for this re- form, and I sincerely hope the resolution will be carried into effect, and that the city charter will be amendek as the people want. Three cheers were given at the close of Mr. Wilde’s iemarks ; after which the following letter from Hon. ) eter Dawson, Member of Assembly from this city, to James Gordon Bennett, Esq., was read by Mr. Middle- rooks:— Asseuany Cuamper, Aupaxy, March 4, 1354. J.G. Bexnerr, = Dyan Sin—I'seo hy your paper of this mornin, the citizens of New York to devise some mea: r call for the streets of enid city. Now, sir, you know ai that nothing can he done hy the Board of Al under the present amended charter. Sir, I would suggest & plan assemble in their might in the Park, and cali a committee to draft a new Lot the peo for amended charter as it now stands, wi judgment, is rninons to the city’s comfor charter of 1690, or let us begin out of the new, and frame one ion; and, sir, WMWA this is done, amt cted to office, New York city will be robbed, neglected. A delegation from your Board of Aldermen and from your Councilmen had a heating before us in the Capitol this morning—I mean before the New York delegation—and each one had told a different story. ‘There seemed to be no unanimity of action amongst thein. Imust confess that I know not what they want; but, sir, send here a good delegation to seek a new charter, and be- lieve me, that their petition will be heard. They shall have my humble assistance. Without this is done, I see no other ‘way to redress the city’s wrongs. Respected sir, if this note is wort Anyenieg, you may ai! hat disposition you | lease of it."
