LUTION. 35 boat ‘The enforcement of the Sunday Mquor law has pro- duced a wonderful change in the moral condition of the city on Sunday, as exhibited by the returns made to the Chief ef Police by the Captains of the several wards. The complaints, as may be seen by the following, have been greatly reduced in number: WHAT THE PROPLE SAY. ‘That in travelling from Thirty-first street down Eighth avenue to Twenty-ninth street, and Twenty-ninth not a policeman was sven by complainant, and that clothing and segar stores were 4 Kart one on Sunday. .

WHAT THE POLIOK SAY. Captain Leonard—The pavement in Ferry street is in & bad condition and wants repairing. The gas lamp on the corner of Fulton and South streets, and one on the corner of Maiden lane and Broadway was not lit. Captain Hopkins—Greenwich street, from Cortland to Liberty, is out of repair, andthere is a dangerous hole “on the corner of Dey and West streets. Captain Carpenter—On the returns made by Captain C. there are no complaints; but the following expressive phrase is the best explanation that can be given as to the cause:—“Yes' y was Suoday in this ward.’’ ptain Ackerman—The walls of Dr. Burchard’s church in Thirteenth street, which was lately destroyed by fire, are in a tottering condition, hould be imme- diately taken care of. There is also a large hole on the of Hudson and Barrow streets, a few inches from nd another on the sid .

The lamps on the Bloomingtale road, between 110th atreet and ttanville, were not lis as usual, Captain ng totgag 3 out at Fourtesnta street, near Union Hotel; ditto at 72 Bleecker street. The mud hole in Lafayette place in, front of the Mer- cantile Library, is very dangerous after éark. Captain Harit—Lamp not lighted opposite 136 East Eleventh street for more than a week past; also opposite ‘154'same rtreet. Some of the lamps very dirty.

Talman and others, to discos- tinue the proceedings for opening Sixty-cecond street, was referred to the Committee on Roads. A motion to tuke from the table the nominations of Police Clerks made by the Mayor, was lost. PROPOSED REPEAL OF THE NEW CITY CHARTER. Alderman C. H. Tvcken offered the following preamble ond resolution :— \ Whereas, a proposition has been submitted to the Le- giulature of this State to materially alter and amend the ebartor of this city; and whereas, the Board of Council- f imenare about to appoint a committee from their Board 0 confer with the Lagislatere fa relation to amending the charter of this city—therefore be it Resolved, (if the Board of Councilmen concur,) That a “special committee of five be appointed by this Board, to act in conjunction with a similar committee from the | Board of Councilmen, to procure the passage of such an ‘act a8 will best secure to the citizens of this city a char- Aer designed to afford a safe and economical government, | Alderman Howanp seconded the resolution, and hoped | it would be adopted. It was necessary that they should | send a deputation to watch the proceedings of the Legis- lature im reference to this city, or perhaps they might legislate them (the Board) out of office. Alderman Wa. TuckER opposed the resolution. He thought the Aldermen had enough to do, and they should stay at home and miod their business. He un derstood the Couricilmen had appropriated $500 for thei expenses there, but he was oppored to delegations from these bodies going up to the Legislature to carouse and | eat and drink at the expense of the city. Alderman Voonnis thought the object could be accom- hed by the Common Council convening a meeting in thie city, and consulting with the Mayor to draw up a vaarter and submit it to the Legislature, Aléerm«n Lorn spoke against the resolution. If it was | adopted the mover would, of course, ve appointed chair maa of such committee, and he would use all his efforts such position to induce the Legislature to repeal the ‘amended charter altogether. Alderman WAKEMAK contended for the necessity of a tion to watch the interests of the city in this mat- iter—to see what rights the islature propose to take | from them, and beg le ey intend to confer. He nderst that the was prepared a month ago, and | Ihe was satisfied that it was the intention materially to | hange the charter of the city, and many of their pri- vileger might be swept he 4 without the slightest con- ultation with this board. They ought not sit quietly in ig seats and see the rights of the city of New York | npéred with. He thought the present resolution bould be mo ified, and a committee appointed. Alderman VOonsIs moved that the matter be referred | o the Committee on La: It was so referred. P RESOLUTION: The following resolution was offered by the Alderman f the Third ward, and adopted:— ‘That the trustees of Columbia College be authorized to dy and peve, and set the curb and gutter of Park c@, as extended from Church street to College piace, inde the direction of the Street Commissioaer, provided uch, work shall be done without delay.

Tax Boarp or Councinmen:— GuNTLEMEN—I am forced, by a sense of duty, to return the resolutions in relation to removiog the ruins of the old buildings known as the New City Hall, without my signature. twelfth section of the amendments to the Charter, 4 April 12, 1853, is in these words:— ‘All work to be done, and all -upplies to be furnished for the Corporation, involving an expenditure of more than $250, shall be’ by contract, founded on sealed bids security, All such bids or proposals shall be opened by the Heads of Depa resence of the Comptroller and au fog them on desire to be present.” ¢ Ianguage is clear an: casily understood. It 1s po- sitive and udequivocal, You have not the power to di rtments advertisiag for them, in the ch of the parties mak- making a contract therefor with the lowest bid. ‘The resolutions now before ine for my approval are a remptory direction to the Commissioner of Repairs and | iupplies to employ one hundred and fifty men at a cost of one hundred and Atty dollars per day, to do wart for the corporation without any limit as to’ the amount of money to be so expended, bat with the implied authori- ty for him to thus disburse many thousand dollars.

The object can be accomplished without any other action upon the part of the Common Council, than making proper provision | for the appropriation of the necessary funds which can be done without any disregard of the charter whatever. of Thave advised that officer to that effect, and have this | day officially directed him to pull down the ruins, and give labor to men at one dollar per day each, keeping within the limits, so far as such requisition may re- quired, ERNANDO WOOD, Mayor.

M. ‘The inflation in fancy stocks still continues with full force. It does not slack up as prices sdvance, but appears to be going on with as much energy as at any time since the movement commenced. At the first boatd to-day New York Central Bonds im- proved 4 per cent; Nicaragua Transit, 5; Camber- land Coal Company, Yew York Central Railroad, 1; Erie Railroad, {; Harlem, |; Reading Railroad, 4; Dlinois Centra!

The traneactions amounted to about three thousand shares. Cumberland Coal has been one of the most active fancies on the list siuce the present specula- tive excitement commenced. Prices have moved gradually up, and closed this morning at 3% per cent, s higher pcint than has been known for many months. The coal business of the company during the part year bas been profitable. At present very little is doing. Harlem has steadily advanced from 24 per cent, the lowest point. A sale was mide this morning at 34, buyer sixty daye, We under- ttand that the company's report does not show a very flattering state of things. The Schayler management has entailed upon the company difficul- ties which cannot be so easily removed. {t has been shown that the dividends paid were not earned. There ‘was 8 deficiency of about twenty thousand dollars per annum, in the dividend account, which was so much money added to the debt, without value re’ celved. The actual losses to the company directly through the fraucs of Schuyler and Kyle, were not #0 large but that the stoppage cf two or three divi- dends, bad these dividends been really earned, | would bave made up the amount, but the dividends not having been earned, cuts off that resource, and the company find an increase of debt iuevitable, ‘The fact that the stockholders can have no expecta: tion of a dividend for yeara, must again concentrate the stock in the bands of speculators, and it may agaia become as precarious a fancy as it ever ‘has been. The management of the road is in good bards, and the strictest economy is exercised ia all its departments. If the stockholders manage to herp brokers out of the board of direction, the stock may gradually improve in market value, notwith stacding the operations at the Exchange and ia Wail street.
