The Board met at five o’clock last evening, President Brown in the chair. Alarge number of members were present, and Fernando Wood, Esq., Mayor elect of New | York, was present for some time in the Council.cham- ber, where he was received with marked attention, The minutes of the last meeting were read and ap- | proved. Acommunication from the Board of Education was | offered for reading out of order, in reply to a letter from the Board of Councilmen, in which an extra appropria- tion for 1854 was refused. Councilmen Matusr and Rep said they did not under stand why a letter from the Board of Education should be read out of order, except perhaps that an additional $100,000 were wanted by the Board of Education. After afew remarks, the President again offered the paper for a reading, when the members decided on re- ceiving it. The Chairman then said that the reader would read the paper. The following COMMUNICATION FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, was then read :— The Board of Education respectfully represent TO THE BOARD oY COUNCILMEN: That the Board of Education Reawacsinet as returned from your honorable board, the certi ‘the Board of Education that there is a deficiency in the sums apportio to the necessary and legal ex; blic educatior .091 96, oertifyin was unavoidable. That the same though it was addressed to the Com: any communication from your honorable had been done therewith in the Board of Councilmen or the Board of Aldermen, but accompanied by what. see inal ro) f the Fi Committee of your bo tioned in the 16th section of the amended charter of 1858, the further consideration of t! The third section of the “Act in the city of New York," passed April 15th, 1854, provides that the said 16th and I7th sections of the amendod chartor shall apply only to auch appropriations ay are required by the law to be asted on by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Edueation respectfully invites the attention of tbe Board of Councilmen to this change of the law, and to the phraseology ofthe 19th seotion of theachool lawbefro referred o,in which, without any reference to theBoard of Supervisors board of commissioners, it is provided, that any such doliciency “shall supplied by the, Common’ Council,” And they are not only authorized but directed to raise by loan, in anticipation of the annual tax, the necossary sum to supply ‘such deficiency. he Board of Education further reprosonts that the t rsof the schools number shout twelve hundred; tha’ ‘ity of them are at salarics | than the usual yment of their aalarics necessary to the supply of those daily wants which cannot fail to press upon them painfully on the opening of winter in the present state of prices of the necoasaries of fire The Board of Education wil! have Performa their duty as h led all the requirements of the law; but it would ‘give them pain to knew thi without their fault, a class of persons so import: worthy as the teachers, cannot receive their dues; saying nothing of that large class of workmen whose to a great extent, upon the prompt receipt by ers of the amount due to them on their contract. of Education therefore, with all proy of Councilmen and Common Council, beg to return said cer- tificate tothe Board of Councilmon; and have caused this communication to be signed by their president and clerk, this 22d day of November, 1854. E. C. BENEDICT, President of Board of Education. Aunerr Giserr, Clerk. After the reading of this paper, Mr. Krxxepy made some remarks on the juggle, as he called it, by which the reformers of New York induced the Legislature to give an unlimited power of demand for money to the Board of Education. He offered the following preamble and resolution:— Whereas, the Board of Education have returned to this Board their certificate for an appropriation to meet a det ey in the school Ce eet | for the year 184, without compli- ance with the provisions of the charter; and whereas, shoul. appropriations for deficiencies be acted on without subject ing them to the scrutiny required when annual appropria tions are submitted, the wholesome advantazes of such ex amivation would be entirely circumvented—therefore, be i Resolved, That the certificate of the Board of Educatioy of the 2d of November instant be re!erred to the Comptroller, in order that he may lay the same before the commissioners ing to be discharged from ubject. elative to Common Schools ay depends, heir employ: The Board provided for by the sixteenth section of the amendments of the charter, adopted April 12, 18 Mr, Marner said that the gentleman of the Ninth dis- trict had only assumed the facts to be on his side. Oz November 21st, the Finance Committee had asked to be discharged from ® further consideration of the sudje and he (Mr. Mather) had offered a resolution then hav for its object to refer the whole matter, original pap and all, to the Counsel of the Corporation. If the gon- tleman’ of the Ninth district would now allow all the papers to be referred to counsel, he would consent to it, but he would not allow any motion to override his, and thus carry the matter. Mr. Kesey would consent, but must condemn the rinciple of the subordinate outside organizations of New York to overrule the corporation of the city. Mr. MATHER strongly supported his proposition of ref- erence to the Corporation Counsel. Mr. W. H. Sarr would like to have an opinion on the subject, as many of the teachers now wanted their money. Mr. Pinckney, Mr. Matuxr, Mr. Keysevy and other Councilmen, took part in the debate; after which Mr. Kennedy's lesalashen was edagted:by kepte cf 48 6, a motion for the previous question having been nega- tived by a yote of 29 to 11. Different reports from the committees on the salaries and offices, the fire department, and other committees, were presented, and either acted on or referred for a third reading. Various other reports for the grading, paving, laying curb and gutter, and otherwise improving several streets and avenues, were adopted unanimously, and the proper order made thereon. After some other routine business had been transacted, it was resolved, that, “when the board adjourn, it ad- journ to the first Monday in December next.”? The board accepted an invitation to visit Randall's Island to-morrow, (Fridey,) and leave the city at ten o'clock in the morning. The board then adjourned, amidst some excellent imi tations of cock-crowing and other demonstrations of joy at the approach of municipal vacation. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

Jersey City Common Connell Mecting. There was a spirited meeting of the Common Council on Monday evening at the Lyceum, and it being uoderstood that the subject of granting licenses for inns and taverns to a number of applicants would be acted upon, the room was densely crowded during the evening with the friends and foes of liquor Keenses. Alderman Tyrretl presided, Among.thé petitions presented was one from T. Deegan, who keeps under the American Hotel, asking that all or a portion of his fine imposed for the sale of liquor without a license be refunded, and that the pending complainits against him be dismiss d, as he had discontinued the sale of liquor by the glass when he ascertained that it was in violation of the ordinances. Patrick Corrigan, corner of Newark avenue and Barrow street, petitioned for a tavern license, ‘A communication was received from the Mayor, accom- panying the preamble and resolutions which were adopted at the temperance meeting at the Reformed Dutch Church on the previous evening, sustaining the action of the Carson League, and asking for appropriations to continue the prosecution of those engaged in the illegal sale of liquor.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. In the New York Courier and Enquirer of the 4th of | November instant, appended to an article assailing the | character and fitness of Fernando Wood for the Meyor- | alty of the city of New York, the writer states that Mr. | Wood was indicted by the Grand Jury in November, | 1851, “for the alleged offence of obtaining money from | E,D. Marvine, under false pretences;” that he plead | the statute of limitations, and that the Recorder sus- tained the plea. | The writer further states, “that about the time the | check on the Citizens’ Bank, for seven handred dollars, | and that the person to whom the broker paid this large | amount of money was the very one who granted the motion to quash the indictment.”” The writer gurther says that names will be given when required. On the same morning, as if acting in concert, and under the same dictation, the Zribune, commenting on the character of Mr. Wood, alluded to the indictment preferred t him in the General Sessions, in No- vember, 1851, and concludes its comments by saying: ‘We are assured that a cheek of $700, oan eM ‘Wood in favor of the Recorder who made the decision, oa seer ® broker’s hands, and was cashed in nk about same time.’’ ‘As soon as I saw these articles on the following day, I addressed notes to the editors of those respective ra, | declaring the utter falsity of their respective state: ments, and demanded of them the name of the inform. ant, or of th Deda who was responsible for this gross libel. On the following morning the Courier and Enquirer says:—'We e received Mr. Tallmadge a denial of certain statements in regard to him in our Satur- day’s paper. He calla for legal proof. He shall haveit.’” A ‘he tees — same meenee jr reply to = lemand, says:— ‘The reques: roper, ant shail be eoxmplied with.” toe Now, air, I have waited patiently until this day for a at | compliance with their assurances; but neither of those | papers have thought proper to give me that information tobe 80 eminently due to me. I therefore shall hold them re- | sponsible for this calumny. As those papers have regarded it proper and right to promulgate this falsehood to the world, I deem it due to myself to state that I am informed and perfectly pre- | pared toprove that this falschood originated with s common pimp and auxiliary to lottery and policy ven- Gers; that he is well known to our police and criminal courts, and over whose head is now impending an in- dictment for burglary; and that the writer of the article is known as a common libeller, and is also soon to be Yraught to justice on an indictment for gross violation of law. Tam also apprised of further facts in relation to its pu lication and the pecuniary consideration paid there- for, which at a future time shall be fully exposed. Thold the affidavit of Mr. Wood, declaring the entire falsity of the publication in all its ticulars, 80 far a8 it relates to myself; as also the certificates of a clerk in the Citizens’ Bank, ‘as well as that of Jay Jarvis, Esq. the president of that institution, that Mr. Wood kept his account with that bank during the yoara 1851 and 1852, and that no check for $700, or any like sam, drawn by Mr. Wood, was presented to, or paid by, that bank during these years. The charge is, that the check for $700 was cashed for me about the time of the disposi- tion of the indictment, which was in November or De- cember, 1851. With this brief statement of facts, I take occasion to remark, that in relation to the chatge imputed to me by those presses, I will, under no circumstances, submit to them with impunity. The legitimate exercise of the liberty of the presa can, under no aspect, justify the wholesale slander upon pri- vate individuals, or even public men, which has of late characterized ‘portion of the city press; and for one who has been thus assailed, I have directed that the steps be taken necessary to vindicate myself from those ealumnious aspersions, and to call upon a court of jus- tice to pronounce what I now declare the authors of those communications to be, malicious and unmitigated libellers. F. A. TALLMADGE. Nov. 22, 1854. United States District Court. DECISION IN ADMIRALTY. Before Judge Ingersoll. Nov, 23.—Jsaac C. Phillips et al. vs. The Ship United States.—This libel ia filed to recover a salvage compensa- tion tor services rendered to the ship United States by the steamtugs Hercules and Underwriter. The ship, worth from $10,000 to $15,000, and having on board a cargo of abouta thousand tons of railroad iron, worth alout $45,000, while bound into the port of New York, about two or three o'clock P. M. on the 11th of March, 1852, ran on the outer middle shoal, about three miles from Sandy Hook, There was seventeen or eighteen feet of water on the shoal, and the ship, drawing about nine- teen feet, was carried over the shoal by force of the sea and the wind, which was blowing a gale from the north- east. Soon after she hada signal for a pilot, and was spoken by one, but the sea was so rough that he could not then board her. He therefore directed the captain of the ship to follow his boat, and he would lead him into deep water. The direction was followed till the ship arrived near the point of the — when th Sor proceed no farther up the harbor, as ahead. When the pilot went on beard, the shi; an old one, from thumping over the outer middle, was leak- ing badly. The necessary hands being at the pumps, and after her arrival at the Southwest Spit, the captain and pilot consulted for her safety, and thereupon the pi- lot ordered a signal set for the steamtug Hassel, which, having that day towed down a schooner from New York, to lighten the ship Atalanta which was ashore outside of the Hook, was about two miles from the ship in the lower bay, looking for business in her ordinary occupation of towing vesscls up and down the harbor. The evidence was contradictory as to whether the signal was an ordinary one for a tow, or a signal of distress. The Hercules came, in obedience to the signal, and took hold of the ship between 4 ana 4 P. M., and the captain of the ship told the bd pad of the Hercules that the ship was leaking badly and that the water was gaining on them. The Hercules not being able to tow her with so Mauch despatch as was desired, a signal was set from the ship for the Underwriter, which had also gone down in search of business. The Underwriter imme- diately obeyed the signal, and the two tugs brought the ship in safety up the harbor, (although from the leak she settled one or two feet while coming up,) and ran her upon a mud bottom in the Atlantic dock, be- tween 9 and 10 o’clock at night. This was on Friday, and by the following Wednesday she filled with water. The usual price paid toa steam tug for towing a ves- sel up from the lower bay varies from $25 to $100, ac- cording to the state of the weather, and the difficulties of the case. Held by the Court, that the weight of evidence is that tha signal set was not a signal of distress, but a signal for a tow. In obeying this signal, the tugs went to her aid, expecting and agreeing to engage in the business which the signal indicated. But, although the tngs started for the ship with the view to render a towage service merely, yet if the ship, when the tugs eame to ler assistance, was, in point of fact, in a condition | where loss or serious damage was reasonably to be ap- | prehended from ber leaky condition, in connection with | the boisterons state of the weather—if she was encoun- tering a threatened or impending peril, from which she was rescued by the tugs—then, although the signal set by the ship was only one for a tow, and although when the tuga started for the ship, in obedience to to the sig- | nal, they understood that they were wanted only for a towage service, they would be entitled to be compensated for a salvage service, For where a ship or its lading is saved from impending peril by the service of any per- sons, upon whom there is no obligation to render the service, then such service is to be compensated as a ser- vice. A mere towage service is confined to vessels which have received no damage which puts them in peril of loss. A mere towage compensation is payablo in those cases only where the yessel receiving the service is in the same condition she would ordinarily be without | having encountered any damage or accident. And i towage engagement merely led to the rescue al from an imminent OL it should be remunerated as salvage. (3 Harg., 428.) That the Court does not find as a fact that the ship and cargo would have been lost, or greatly damaged, if she had not been rescued by the tags; but does find that there was danger of such loss, or great lpr and that the ship was rescued from that peril by the tugs, and the compensation which the libellants are entitled to receive for their services must he a salvage compensation, That there was but little, if any, more labor and peril incurred by the tugs than would have been incurred in such weather in peforming a towage service; that they manifested promptitude in obeying the |, but were not diverted from: their which was proper and usual employment, but were engaged in it; that the libellants have experienced but trifling injury or loss by the service which they have rendered, no more than probably would have been sustained if the ship had not, by her leaky condition, been exposed to impentiog peril, and that under all the circumstanses the case demands only a moderate compensation. De- cree, therefore, that the libelants recover the sum of | 81,000, to be divided equally between the two tugs. { Scarcrry oF Coat tw THe West.—Coal is soxrce and high at the West, and the supply is nearly exhaust- ed. @ Louisville Courter says:—Lack fael now threatens to wate our manifol’l troubles. We have neither rail nor river just yet that will bring us coal, and the consumption of that article is becoming every day greater. Owing tos want of a sufficient supply the rolling mill has been enpetiet to suspend operations, aud, as a consequence, a large number of laborers havs been thrown out of employment upon the verge of a | winter season that to be of unusual severity. Yesterday dealers in coal announced, with a cool sort of assurance, an advance to twenty-five cents per bushel. | To what height f will elevate the atandat tice for | this of we have no means of Enowing.

NEW BUILDINGS—THE NASSAU BANK. ‘The new building recently erected for the Nassau Bank, occupies a portion of the site of the old Clin- ton Hall, at the corner of Nassau and Beekman streets, and has its principal front on Beekman atreet, 50 feet 4 inches wide, by 47 feet 6 inches deep on Naseau street, and hasa cellar and base ment, and five stories above the basement. The baeement piers are faced with light colored granite, forming a pleasing contrast with the color of the superstructure, and having a very substantial ap- pearance. The material used for the superstructure is a light cream colored stone, brought from the pro- vince of Normandy, in the northern part » | and introduced for the first time in this co , in this building, as a building material for external work, although long employed in France and the adjacent countries, where it has been found to be very durable, resisting the action of climste, seem- ingly growing harder by exposure. Many buildings of this material, dating far back into the middle ages, are now to be found in a good state of preser- | vation. There are two kinds of this stone, one called the Caén, the other the Aubigné stone, and the lat- ter being much the hardest, is used for sills, lintels, cornices, &c., and those parts most exposed or re- qui most strength.

Both are alike, having rustic arches, and piers with moulded bases, imy , &c.

Conger and others against the Hudson River Railroad Company.—This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, cattle dealers, against the defendants, for damages alleged to have been sustained by the former in the non-delivery of about sixty-five Read of cattle, shipped by them on board the defendant's cats at Albany, on the 30th day of March last, for New York, which the plaintiffs’ counsel alleged were to start at 6 o'clock that day, thereby enabling them to arrive in New York the next day, in timo for the regular mar- ket on that day. The cattle were regularly shipped at 4 o'clock, but owing to the al jligence and dela; of the defendant's, the train did not start until 8 o’cloc in the evening, and being thue out of time, a collision oc- curred near Schodack, between the Hudson and Berkshire railroad and the defendants train, by means of which the Intter was detained all night on the track, and thus pre- vented the delivery of the plaintiffs’ cattle in New York until Thursday evening, and that the csttle thereby missed the market for tbat day, and the plaintif_s were obliged to keep them over, at a great expense, until the next regular market day, the ensuing yy; and also that the cattle, 4 ha. | it so long star and had. dled her, without or water, became log-weary, ‘and felldown upon each ot! ther, and were — aged and injured by being confined for so atime on the care. . ef were laid at $828.

Pauapaurata, July 4, 1854. My Drag Sre—I am in receipt of your letter of the 1st. While I appreciate the reasons which influence Mr. roceedings against Simpson, I very much regret the decision, for I am perfectly sa’ t such an example would have a most salutary effect. I do not believe that the Com- monwealth would lose a dollar of the money, and I am sure that the influenge of so decisive a measure would be very t. It isa case clearly within the act of 1845, expecially if it can be demonstrated, as I think it can, that nearly all of one item of arrears, ($33,000 for tay: ern licenses,) has been more than a year in his hands, and withheld from the treasury. Still’ I can do nothing, unless the accounting officers attend and furnish the evidence. The period of appeal will expire, fel given early in August, when a new term of our court begins, anda new Grand cies meets. Still I cannot help hoping that you will reconsider your decision, and enable me to act week, The Grand Jury will continue in session all this week. I most respectfully urge it. Truly, yours W. B. REED. To the above Mr. Baily replied, stating that he agreed fully with the District Attorney as to the moral effect which would result from the prosecution of Simpson. After four other letters, of an officially, technical and tween the par- ties, Mr, Baily writes:— TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. [ARRISBURG, Aug. 23, 1254. Dear Sm—Yours of the 22d is at hand. I thank you for the interest you take in the matter referred to. We have more trouble in securing the payment of the re- venues of the Commonwealth from the counties of Phila- delphiv and Allegheny than all the rest of the State. Those two counties stand similarly related to the Trea- sury at this time in their financial matters. When in the city on the 1st, I made an arrangement with Simp- son and his’bail, Seiser and Harris, by which they agreed to pay $20,000 at that time, and the balance, being about ,000, in three months. They have, by various ex- ’ cuses and evasions, delayed paying the $20,000 until mued ‘by wr Boker, the yesterday. I am infori ker, this morning, that it-was paid yesterday. This makes the sum of $40,000 paid by them since the settlement of the account on the Sist of May. As they have now complied with the hel oe hd faa arran; femeat of t i lat of August, I would prefer no ing against Simpson at present, as it would have the a: ance of a breach of faith on my part. I think the great error, in your city, lies in the Court.of Quarter Sessions not requiring “sufficient security” of the Treasurer. The penalty is not sufficient, either. The amount of Commonwealth's funds handled by your treasurer exceeds $600,000, and yet the penalty in his bond is only $60,000. *' #' * Very respectfully, your frien sileissaai Oe BAILY, State Treasurer. « Bubsequent to this, six or seven letters relating to the exertions of both gentlemen to preserve the purity of the ~— bodies, and take care of the city funds, passed between the gentlemet:.

Mrs. Susan Cairns, an Irish woman from New York, while standing on the bridge at that place, unconscious of danger, was run over wy the car, a horribly crushed and almost instantly killed her. Mrs. Cairns (whose maiden name was Connelly) had formerly been a resident of this city, and camo out from New York yesterday afternoon, on a visit to her brother. A singular fatality seems to have brought about the ca- tastrophe of lastevening. She started from her home in company with another woman, and, being delayed, missed the ferry boat in whieh she had intended to cross over. Her associate then tried to persuade her to retarn and wait until to-day, but she refused and persisted in coming. On reachi: is oity the other woman went to visit her friends if the Fifth ward, while Mrs. Cairns procured a fellow countryman to guide her to the reslience of her brother in the western part of the city. The man took her by the nearest route, which was directly up Bank street; but on reaching High street she remonstrated against going any further in that direction, insisting that Warren street was a moro direct route. Through her urgent solicitations he re- luctantly changed their course, and while crossing the Plane, on their way to Warren street, the fatal accident occurred. She uttered a piercing scream is the car struck her, but breathed only a few times after it ed over her body, The man clung to the car, was ragged along with it, thus escaped. Mrs. Cairns was not over forty-five years of age, and was the mother of five children,.— Newark Advertiser, Nov. 21.
