Alderman Waramax moved the adoption of the report ol the Committee on Finance, published in Thursday's proceedings. Alderman Ceacncey moved to strike out tie omeud- ment made the previous night, that the markets be used for the purposes for which they are now occ «pie ‘This, after some debate, was lost by a tie vora, and the whole matter was, on motion, laid oa the table. VOTY OF THANKS TO THE PRESIDENT OF TH) BOARD, THK CLERK AND THE REPORTERS ‘The Alderman of the Seventh ward moved the follow and the other oa the fulton market ing:— Rcaived, That the thanks of this Board be given to | the President, for the able and impartial performeace of the duties ot his place; to tho Clerk, for the faithfal and | punctual performance of the duties of hia office; aud, also, to the assistant clerks, for their readiness in the discharge of the business committed to them: and, also, to the reporters who have reported ear procesiings, Unanimously adoptea. ‘The Presipeyt, having vacated the chair, to whish Alderman Williamson was called, said that be certainly did not expect that this would be the tast meeting of the Board; and ‘not expecting a resolution reapecting their chairzoan, he was not prepared to respond to the vote of thanks 60 unanimously accorded to him. They came together entire strangers, for, with one exception, he did uot then know the face of any member, heir inter- course, with a slight variation, bad been pleasant. It had becu his object to perform the duties of President of the Hoard impartully, and he thanked them for their approval of his conduct. He admitted that they bad | aot performed as much duty aa this great | community expected, but this community were not aware that this Board wae so trammelied and restricted by the reform charter that they could not do one single act that incurs the expenditure of ove single cent. Bat | it has been said by the reporters who have been alluded | to in complimentary terms in the resolution we have done a great deal of talking and very little business. Notwithstanding this, the number of papers that have originated in this Board exceed four thousand; there were one thousand passed both Boards and approved by the Mayor, and two thousand papers have been received from the Couacilmen. The President then referred to the duties that bad been performed by the Board. In his judgment, if this body were to meet sixteen days in- stead of eight daye month, the interests of their con- stituents would be greatly promoted. He havarded uo thing in saying that the people have been disappointed by the uew chisvter; he was satisfied tha’ the interests of the people unter the present organization is uot as safe t che old, and he was satisfied that their | cannot be maintained by numerical numbers— their representatives must be men of integrity, inteili- gence, and honesty. The pay that has been awarded the members bus often been alluded to by the public press, and it wa» said that for the sake of two dollars a day (hes asted the business of the Board of Coun- ty Ganvarsers $ was not so. He was under many compliments to she merabers of the press now present for the courtesy which they bad extended to lim; they bad passed lightly over many scenes which had occurred there, aad for that he tendered them his thanks. He asseriea that this Board of Aldermen stands more rea- peotable in the community than apy that has preceded them, and he hoped that tause who were to come after them will improve by their example, and that when they meet aa the Board of next year, they will come in det mined to forget al) that has passed between them in the present Board. Tho majority of them would reassemble in the new Board, but there are some who meet as mem- | bers (or the last time this evening. In their retirement the community wil) suffer great loss. Aa presiding officer, he (Alderman Ely) had always contended that | the minority should have as fair a slow as the majority. | ‘Tho President then passed a high eulogium on the re- | | tiring members, and alluded to the fact that, during his | term of office, but one decision of his only had been reversed. In concluding, he would say that it was not necessary to eulogize fhe worthy Clerk; his acts speak | for themselves. To bim and his associates they owed a great aeal. Alderman WAKEMAN mored that a committee be ap+ pointed to confer with the Councilmen, and inform them that this Board was about to adjourn sine die. Aldermen Morr and Vooius were appointed such com- mittee, who, after visiting the Councilmen, reported that & committee from that Board would attend. Shortiy after, the committee, consisting of Council. mev Mather, Conover and Jac , entered the Board | Sixth and Elevent | wetting curb and gutter in Seventh avenue, from Forty- | way and University place |.

Otherwise they had no | communication to make. The committee then retired. A motion was then made to adjourn. Alderman WaxeMan consitered that it would be in- decent haste to adjourn now and stave oif matters that | P! | of our city government. should be acted upon without delay. Atter a discussion of the motion to adjourn, the mi- nutes of the present meeting were read and approved, and the Board adjourned sine die. BOARD OF COUNCILMEN. Deo. 29.—The Board met at 4 o'clock P.

Councilman Kxvxepy, with a few appropriate remarks, moved the following :— Resolved. That the thanks of the Board are due and are hereby tendered to Kdwin J. Brown, Esq., tor the prompt, able, eficient, and impartial manner in which | he has discharged the dutios of presiding officer of this | board during the present year. The resolution being adopted, (Clancey alone in the negative,) the President took his seat aud replied as fol- lows :— GxxtiemEn—I thank you for the kind and generous | feelings conveyed in the resolution just adopted with such unanimity, To,receive the approbation of those who, a year since, placed me in this nonarable position, will be one of the most pleasing reminiscences of my life; 1 feel amply repaid for the arduous duties which have devolved upon me. The year is drawing to a close, and our official relations are about to be dissolved. The ment of this branch of our city government, A vast amount of business has been fransacted by the Board— more than five thousand pages of printed matter been acted upon—subjects of great interest have been passed upon. The various committees have performed their onerous duties with marked ability, giving a careful examination to all the business intrusted to them, pre- senting to the Board lucid reports for our consideration, ‘clerks of the Board have performed their daties promptly and efficiently. When this Board came into power clamor was loud, and justly so, against the filthy condition of our streets. The Corporation was bound up by contracts for cleaning the streets, which many of the contractors admitted they never intended to fulfil; these contracts had to be annulled, and new ones made, in. volving much labor on the part of the Board and the Committee on Cleaning Streets, the result of which has enabled us to present to our constituents a comparative- ly clean city. I'am bappy to be able to testify that all subjects which have come before this Board have had a careful consideration, an’ upon no measure has party affinities been the test, but every act has been consum- mated upon the individual opinion of each member, al though all may not have been accomplished that the sanguine expectations of those who originated our pre, sent organization hoped for, owing, in part, to the fact that this Board was an entire new feature in our muni- cipal government, and it requires time to develope its practical operations; more especially has the Common Council been prevented from carrying out any great measures of reform by various legislative enactments, which has had the effect in many eases to make our acts of a negative character, impowering the various depart- ments with most of the business which formerly and properly belonged to the Common Council. ‘The heads of the departments are quite independent, claiming to have equal er superior powers, having been elected by the same | constituents. Those who are familiar with the operations of some of the departments know that there is a possi- awards are made by them and sent into this Board for confirmation, with the resolution already drawn for our | adoption. Tax payers shoul’ consider that some of the departments who disburse large amounts of the public money, can, by a two-third vote, demand any amount of appropriation, and we are by law obliged to grant it. isto be sure, relieves the Board. from reapousibility: but the community are accustomed to cast all the blame of large expenditures, and, as a consequence, an in- crease of taxes, upon the Common Council. Icanuot re- frain from expressing to you my heart-felt gratitude for the kindness and uniform conrteay which has been ex- tended to me, consclous as 1 am of many imperfections. My prevailing desire has been to dischas,# the duties you imposed upon me, as your presiding officer, fmpar- | tially. To those beer = to bee yo ablic lit eI } would say, may health and prosperity at you; an to those ¥ 0 are to form the next Hoard, allow me to say that a weighty responsibility will rest upon you.

The Clerk then read the minutes of the present meet- ing, which were approved, and the Board thereupon ad- journed sine die. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

The petition was ultimately laid on | the table. A resolution of the Committee on County Offices, to in- crease the salory of Leonard Hoffman, Crier of the Su- perior Court, from $700 to $800 a year, was lost by a vote of nine to eight. % CORONER'S BILL.

THE HARD TIMES, The Unemployed Workmen itn Hope Cha- pel—Stormy Debate between the Land Re- formers and the Officers of the Meeting— ‘Trtumph of the Former. A meeting was held last might at Hope Chapel, pur- suant toa call in the morzing papers, emanating from the officers appointed at the last meeting of working wen inthe Park, The hall was tolerably filled, and the most intense excitement prevailed throughout the eve- ning. It finally resulted in the complete defeat of those who called the meeting; the plan they proposed being rejected unanimously, and s substitute adopted. Mr, Dante. B, Writs calied the meeting to order, as chairman, and introduced the Hl Hon. 1'somas M. Wooprvrr, who said that he sym- pathized with the objects of the meeting, as he was a workman himself, and knew what it was to be _ poor. If any well laid plan was projected, he was willing to give it oid and countenance. Aa | effort of this kind wanted a tone, and if he could contribute anything to give it character he would do so. (Applause.) He had no fear of the result if | the workingmen did their duty. Intwo years their con- dition might be so improved that they would never | egain suffer want. (Applause.) Mr. Woodraff then read a long document, from which we extraet the fol- lowing :-— This society shall be known by the name and title of the “ Workingmen’s Aid Society of the City of New annual operations to be supported by the monthiy con- tributions of twenty-five cents from each workingman on becoming a member. Ita objects to be— 1, To afford present and immediate relief to the desti- | tute poor of our city, now auflering under the peculiar 2. To allow and provide for a weekly stipend tode- serving workingmen who are out of employment, in food, fuelor cash, as the case may require, at all sea- sons of the year, and to aid him iu procuring employ- ment 5.

The plan, of which the above {s but a portion, was ob- jected to by Mr. ARBUTUNOT, as not being what the meet- ing came there to hear. It contained provisions repug- nant ta every workingman. (Loud applause.) Mr. Tuomas FRAZER was opposed to the plan. He was bitterly disappoioted, as he supposed that something wouli be proposed that would strike at the root of the. evil. (Great applause.) This plan is a new edition of the old benefit societies, and had all the objections that could be urged against them. The great difficulty is, the land is not distributed among the poor. (Aprinnss.) ‘The CuarMax interposing—Mr. Frazer, you don’t— Loud cries of ‘‘ait down,’? “let him speak,”? and con- fusion. Mr. FRAzsR continued—I protest against the prin- ciple laid down in this plan to continue this relief for years to come. I trust to God that before that before two years are over there will be noempty stomachs to fill." (Applause.) This plan suggests the appointment of tract.distributers to collect money. This 1am opposed to, for it is well known that when they go into a poor man’s family they give him a tract ins laughter and excitement.) The speaker concluded by proposing the condemnation of the plan by the meeting, and took seat amid applause. Mr. Wa. Wrst made a long speech, amid great excite- ment, and concluded by offering a series of resolutions, from which we extract the following:— Resolved, That a committee of five persons be appoint- ed by this’ meeting, whose duty it shall be to draw up three memorials, to be addressed as follows;— One to the Mayor, Aldermen and Common Council of New York, praying that the public lands and lots be- longing to the Corporation be immediately improved, by the erection of buildings thereupon, for the use and oc- cupancy of the tenantry of New York, at a just and equal rent; and that five hundred thousand dollars be appr opriated from the ity treasury for this purpose. ne to the Legislature of the State of New York, pray- ing that the public lands of the State be given to actual settlers, in limited quantities—that the further sale of them, except to the actual settler, be prohibited, and that the quantity of land thst any person may ac- quire hereafter, in any way whatever, be limited; and One to the Senators and representatives in Congress assembled, praying that the further sale of, and trafic in, the public lands of the United States be forthwith prohibited—that they be hereafter given in limited uantities to actual settlers only, and that Coi LETTER FROM PAUL JULIEN. New Yous, Dec. 29, 1864. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. ‘The sufferings now experienced by the working classes deeply affect my heart.

Mr. Jon S, Gt appeared in behalf of a meeting hela the night previous at the Westchester House for the same object, with a view to recommend a consolidati a of the two associations, so that their operations might be of & more effective character; whiel proposition was accepted. Me Peter MonaGuay presented a resolution approving of the mode of relief adopted by the New York Associa- tion for Ameliorating the Condition of the Poor, and pledging the meeting assembled to co-operate with that society in raising funds to assist it in carrying out its laudable object; which was carried. The meeting then adjourned to meet this Saturday evening, at 7 o'clock, in conjunction with the associa- tion formed on Thursday night. RELIEF FOR THE POOR OF BROOKLYN. A meeting of citizens was held in the office of the Nassau Fire Insurance Company last evening, to per- fect measures previously adopted for the relief of the poor.

THE TEN GOVERNORS. MEASURES TAKEN FOR THE RELIEF OF THE POOR. Aspecial meeting of the Board of Ten Governors was held yesterday, at,42{ P. M., Governor Simeon Draper in the chair. Present, Governors Draper, Duke, Townsend, Dugro, West, Conover and Pinckney. After the reading of the minutes, which were approved, Governor West offered the following, which was adopted :~ The committee to whom has been referred the various applications for increase of salaries, report that any in- crease at the present time should not be made, and that the consideration of the subject should be postponed to the Ist of July next. Governor Towxsks? moved the agoption of the reso- lutions offered by him at the last meeting of the Board, in reference to measures being taken for the relief of the poor. Governor Drape was opposed to the adoption of the resolutions. He did not believe so much misery existed as had been stated in the papers. It was easy at any time to get up a panic; aud no doubt but that much of the present excitement was withont any real founda- tion; besides, the Board had not as yet experienced any severe pressure; and why should they take this action, unless circumstances imperatively demanied it? Gov. Prvoxnry was also oP to the resolutions. He was in favor of affording relief, but it should be with the machinery they had already in en a Let the Board hire more visiters, but they should not go out- side their present arrangements, which were sufficient for all practical pu j Gov. West was in favor of the resolutions, with one ex- ception; that was the one which kept a record of the names of those p.or mechanics and others who wogld apply for relief. These people are not like ordi paupers. They have an honest pride in not desiring to have their names published, Let them apply by let- ter if they so desire; but they should not be compelled to solicit alms in so public amanner as to wound their natural delicacy. Gor. Townsexn stated that the number of those apply- ing this year for money to the Almshouse Department was double what it war last year. He thought the mo- ney was reqvired, Gov. DRAPER was not convinced. What {« the necessity been no great or unusual pressure on the present de- partment’ It {fs not proper or right for the Board to ssure of ex- traordinary emergencies. Let it be nnderstood, how- pall that the Board would be om hand should it be re- uired. - Gov. Duke thought that it would be no harm to pass the resolutions. If the money {s not required, why, let it not be used. He believed that the peed would be great, and if the Common Council would not give the ap- Propriation, the Board could say that they, atleast, had done their duty. After some further debate, various amendments were offered, and the resolutions at length passed unanimous- ly in the following shape -— Whereas, There a 's to be a probable necessity for extra provision for the emporary support of persons thrown out of employ in the city by the general depres- sion of business and,labor, which jises to exist full: following Sasisiloe Almshouse respectfully submit the fo Tesolution for the consideration of the Common Council :-— Resolved, That the Common Council be requested to oat such Kp ke 6S may - pas for the purpose of organizing a temporary departmon’ under the control and management of the Board, for the purpose of furnishing nutritious food and rolieving the poor, if in their judgment the necessity exists. Resolved, That the department be on the 10th of Marclr, and that a statement of tho quantity and kind of food and cost of the same be accurately made ont and filed in the “Alter the transaction of some tes waimportent bu- the poor, and suggested the sources through which relie! should be afforded to the needy. He detailed some ~ases: of great distress, including families who have been living comfortably = their own industry, but are now com- yelled through lack of employment to seex aid. He suggested that while paupers should be aided only through the Superintendent ‘of the Poor, it is the best jolicy to furnieh temporary aid to others who need it ibro some other medium. A respect for the feelings cf such recipients, as well as a desire not toencourage a spirit of pauperism, were mentioned as considerations in avor of this policy. Remarks were made by Hon. A. 0. ?abriskie, ex-Mayor Gilchrist, Peter Bentley, E. B. Wake- man, Wm. R. Janeway, ex- Betts, A. H. Wallis, ond the City Missionary, discussing the best plan of ope- vations. Mr, Wakeman moved that a ittee of ten citizens of each ward be aj ited to solicit funds for the relief of the penis rerolution was adopted. ‘The chair was authorized by the meeting, to ‘appoint the committees. It was also ordered by three wit im, in an advisory capacityy in the dis- charge of that duty. The object of the ceratties will be to search out cases of distress among those more par- ticularly who would hesitate to make known their wants, although suffering. The ward committees were an- nounced by the chair, as followa:— First Ward—F 4B. Betts, Robert Gilchrist, Wm. R. Janeway, P. Gordon, E. B. Wakeman, Samuel Anness, W. T. Rodgers, A. O. Zabriskie, M.

LO! le r means to assist the suffering poor of the city. ® Fravps vox Tam Cuaritanux.—We see it stated that & woman in Hartford, who represented herself as being destitute, was assisted to some coal, at her most carnest solicitation, and it was afterwards ascertained that she bad eight hundred dollars on deposit in a savings bank. Similar cases are of almost daily occurrence in this city. We recollect some time since of a lady in this city, whose husband held a captain’s commission in the war of 1812, became very much reduced in circumstances in consequence of the illness of some of her children, on whom she depended mainly for support, and applied to the authorities for assistance. She was visited by au officer,} who found her place clean, and a seeming de- gree of comfort pervading it, although the last cinders were in the stove, and the closet contained not a crust © sate their s! appetites. The officer reported hat they needed nothing; ‘and but for the interposition of a friend they might have starved. On the other case recently came to our knowledge where an rish family, residing in Tenth avenue, had been given coal, and orders on groceries for food, which had been taken up in coffee and sugar, while at the same time they hadin the house one hundred and forty-five dol- lars in gold. Great caution should be exercised by those who visit poor families not to be too easily led away by appearances. ‘Williamsburg City News.

Crtminal Statistics of the City and Coumy of New York, Compiled for the Year 1854. ‘The criminal history of New York for the year 1854 is a very remarkable and interesting one. The gigantic frauds that have from time to time startled the commu- nity and shaken the credit of banking institutions, rail- road companies, and other large corporations—the fre- quency of murderous assaults, and the bold and inglo- rious manner in which other minor crimes have been committed, forms theme that volumes might be writ- tenon. Schuylerism seema to have been reigning para- mount during 1854. It is hardly possible for a correet statement of all the frauds by which innocent parties have been swindled out of money and property to be pre- sented to the public: their extent is almost beyond com- putation. The frauds in which complaints have been made before ‘magistrates, and for which arrests have been made, will not fall short, we think, of four million dollars. Two-thirds of this amount of course can be readily accounted for when the recollections of the New Haven and Harlem | Railroad defalcations are brought to mind. These frauds, swelled by the recent robberies and embezzle- ments perpetrated on the Bank of the State of New York, the Ocean Bank, the Market Bank, the Magnetic Sewing Machine Company, the Ohio Life and Trust Compa- ny, and the various frauds committed on private parties | by financiers and defaulters, cannot fall short of the | amount just mentioned. Some idea may be formed of the amount of cheating, defrauding and swindling going on in our midst, as complaints have been made before the magistrates during the months of October, Novem- ber, and December, implicating parties in the commis- sion of frauds amounting to over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Very few of those arrested are held by the magistrates, nearly all of these cases proving to be breaches of trust, and, therefore, not criminal in the eyes of the law. ‘The criminal records of this year show a gratifying de crease in the number of persons convicted of various felonies and misdemeanors, which arises, no doubt, from the fact of baving among us a well drille¢and uniformed body of police, ‘hrough the efforts of the Police Com. missioners the police force of this city has so far ad vanced in effectiveness within the past year that there is no longer that difficulty in suppressing or preventing riot that years ago was encountered. Every species of crime committed during the past year, punishable in the State prison, has, however, been on the decrease. Mur- ders, burglaries, robberies, larcenies, forgeries and riots have decreased in a very gratifying manner, al- though the number of minor offences, such as as- saults and batteries and petit larcenies, have somewhat increased. But this latter increase may be well ac- counted for when we take into consideration the excite- ment attending a general election, and the great diatreas of the poor of the community, caused by-the present commercial crisis. We have been furnished with a complete and correct statement of the entire business transacted in the Courts of Oyer and Terminer, General Sessions and Special Sessions, by the efficient and gen- tlemanly clerk, Mr. Henry Vandervoort, who, slong witl. his deputy, Mr. John Sparks, has ever been attentive to the members of the pregs in furnishing them informa- tion for the benefit of the public. It will be seen, from the annexed statistics, that the amount of fines col- lected by Mr. Vandervoort during the past year exceeds that of former years by nearly thirty per cent. The number of vagrants recorded shows an increase over that of last year:— Statement of convictions and fess pe had in the Courts Se we ee a and Special Sessions of the Peace in and for the City and County of New Yorle, the year 1854.
