The Comptroller say4:— There is » deaire on the part of the persons residing on the Island that the ferry beats should be required to make landings at particular points, and it has been suggested that two ferry slips should be made at the foot ot Whitehall street, for the accommodation of two ferries —one for the north and the other for the south end of the Island. If such a change ie to be made, another ferry franchise will be needed, ad restricting the present one to the south shore of the Fland,.” The ferry lease from the foot of Barclay street, herons the North river to Hoboken, has expired, and this ferry franchise must also be sold at auction. It was granted to Messrs, Stevens, March iid, 1843, for an an- ual rent ef $100. ‘The lease was renewed for five years, a{ $100, and expired in 1352.

NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1855. R WOOD WAKING UP THE COMMissionERs— LAWS IN RELATION TO FRAUDS ON EMIGRANTS, AND WHY THEY ARE NOT ENFORCED, A meeting of the Commissioners of Emigration was held on Wednesday afternoon—€ommissionsr Verplanck in the chair, Present, Mayor Wood, Commissioners Schwab, Kelly, Carrigan, Crabtres, Dunlap, Purdy, Ken- nedy, and Mayor Hall, of Brooklyn. A communication was received from R. A. Witthaus, tendering his thanks for the expressions of kindness passed,at the last meeting, when his resignation as com- missioner was presented. Commissioner Cairigan wished to know what action Mayor Wood intended to take in reference to the alleged Sardinian paupers and crimmals, Mayor Wood declined answering the question, as mat- tera were not as yet in a position to be made public, Ac- tion, however, was being had, and the laws would cer- tainly,be enforced, and the country protected from im- proper characters being landed on our shores, Commissioner Purpy called up a resolution he offered at a previous meeting, to appoint an officer to canvas the agricultural districts, with a view to send persons who were now a burden to the commission, to the coun- try, there to snd employment. ‘Betore the subject was acted on, Mayor Woop stated that he was desirous to address the Board. ‘lhe resolu- tion was witbdrawn, and the Mayor proceeded to say tbat he did intend to send a written communication to the board, but found that his duties were of so exact- ing a nature as to render it Jimpossible for him to do so. The subject he referred to Was in reference to the man- ner in which the poor emigrants were treated before they even were landed on our shores. H» would oiler for adoption the following: ° Resolved, That a special committee of threo be appointed to investigate and report the defects existing in she prosont mode of receiving und landing emigrant passengers at this port, nd to any method, in thels judzment, advisable to pass’ for the better protection of the interests of said per- sons. * Tum satisfied, gentlemen, continued the Mayor, that great hardship and wrong have been done these poor pev- ple, and that much of the disabilities they labor under might be remedied by proper action on the part of this Bourd. The people having to do with emigrants, who receive licenses at my ollice, the rugners, bourding house keepers, Xc., I can take charge of, but there are other matters that this Board has exclusive control over, and it should see its duty pertormed in » proper manner, | detail policemen to board these vessels as soon ag practicable, and compel the landsharks who would rob them to keep off, The difficulty is that the law compelling consignees to keep these objectionable persons away {rom their vessels, is not enforced. The men who, after all, do most to rob these poor people, are the South street merchants, who wink at the frauds committed by the runners, Gentlemen, in tais matter Tat least have endeavored to do my duty, and I regret to say that my motives have been misunderstood. 1 have tried to prevent the introdact on of paupers, and after I wrote a etter to the Hon. John Wheeler on this subject, 1 found thatI was suspected of objecting to Germans and other foreigners, a8 such. Now, this is not the case. Ihave ha ive assurances that in Switzerland and Germany expeditions were being sent out of paupers and criminals to thie country. With re- gard to the so called Belgian paupers and crimisala, who were discharged by Juoge elt, I have done any daty, and my opinion as to thejr case has been con- firmed by the fuct, that since their discharge, several of them have been found begging in the street. As long as 1 am in authority, 1 will endeavor to do my duty faithfully and honestly, and I expect the cordial co-operation ot this Board to help ms through ‘This commission was organized with two noble objzcts in view—tirst, to protect the State, and see that no im- proper perscns are allowed to land on these shores; aad second, to protect the poor and honest emigrant ‘Laws have been passed confering on you powers 1 am sorry to say you have not exercired. ‘The jaw to which I refer, entlemen, was passed July 1, 1863, and reads as fol- low See. 1, Any runner, or person acting for himsolf, or for and on behalf of, or connveted with avy steamboat, railroad, or forwarding company, or emizrant boarding house, who siall hook any’ passen, rigrating to the United and arrivi rt of New York, before such 1 in which ‘he has so MA) ae, Y any person, co poration having yyed stich person for the pu and booking such passems to their Lsay- in which they arrive, shall be severally to a penalty of one liundred dollars for each offence, in the sa mt yenalties impos and duties of th i jelating the provisions ay he for @ misdemeanor, whieh tiolation shall be held and tuken to he & misdomeator, and he shall, on conviction, be punished by fing not exceeding one hundred dollars, of imprisonment for sixty days. Now, genJemen, I ask you to do your duty, and see to it that the law is enforced. Commissioner PeRDY raid that the Commissioners had done all in their power to remedy this matter, but found insuperable obstacles preventing the proper performance of their duty. Mayor Woop—Then why don’t the Board insist on the enforcement of the Iawy It gives then ample power. ‘The matter was further discussed,and the resolution was passed unsnimously. The Mayor declined acting on tha committee, aleging that his position was antagonistic oth he representing the city aud they tho State. ‘A number of motions on local matters were then passed, atter which the Board adjourned, WEEKLY SUMMARY, Emigrants arrived March 7, 186 ‘Yo sume cate 1854...

In the monthly details of the receip's of the Reading Railroed Company it will be seen that the busineen of the year commenced in March, and as the capacity of the machinery was increased, the maximum ef 54,000 tons por week was reaczed in August, In September, Ia conseyuence of the existing monetary difficulties, the operators at the mines weie ferced te cartail their ehipments, 3nd a propos tionate decline in the receipts continued to the clo-e of the season. “hia cartailment, after recovering from the effects of the fire in the begin- ning of she seascn, actaally cut down the receipta of the company $260,566 5, which, as the capacity of the machinery is now equal to 55,000 tons per week, with a power to incresse it to any demand, we may at least, in estima ing the business, add the reduction to the receipts of 1855. Then, az the result of last year’s business in coal was 405,606 tors over the previoos year, we may, all things considered, safely put down the increase tor 1855 at 600,000 tons. This amonnt, et $1634 per ton, would give $817,500, which, added to the logs from the suspension, will give s gross receipt from this item of coal of $4 331,887 83—consequently, the estimate for 1855, without exaggeration, is :— From 2,487,854 tons coal, at $1434 per t + + -$4,073,631 29 placed a foundation — possession of the same before and ever since | , with 20 per cont increase, "326,841 34 Merchandire, 28 per cend increase 296,480 87 United States mail........... 14,218 00 Mircellaueous........ 2 10,000 00 Catawiase, Mahoning dad “Deughin ‘and Susjuehsnnah Railroads ..... 400,000 00 Grose receipts........cecese ee ceeeee vee $5,121,171 60 The operating sxponees will not be much larger thaa in 1854, potwithsterding the additional quan. tity of coals carried. The cet income will therefore be much jarger, The following decision of the Supreme Court in the care of Bank against Edwards, settles the question in regard to the ples ef usury on railroad bonds is sued in this State :-- As tothe usury, It ia well established that this is a perroval defence, cannot be eet up by & stranger to the original transaction, (Reading agt.
