Corhmer- ciel traneactiors long sestricted by groundless alarms cf various kinds, will once more resume their accustomed ectivity, Lhe eff ct of taat upon bank loans will jik+ wise “be twofold. The tote deposits, which, now ij irg idie for want of profitable employ- ment, a e€ msde to torm the basis of large discounts, aie bahar in order to be employed in regu- iar busiie s Iu adcitior to this, the merchants will require for the discount of t eir business papsr a Jarge portion of the money uow ioaved on demand by the bauks for the porposes of speculation in stocks. The countsy bax ka wil! also call bome tzeir prezeut ba- lances iu New York, in order to make toeir cus- Guee advarces to the millers and owaera of pro- iuce. We cavuot, therefore, agree with one of ‘the pria- cipal Ansncis! writers for the New York prees, taat it would be pecfectty eafe for the banks of that city etill futher to expard their present line of dis- counts, merely because they happen to have onhand four or five millions more of specie than they had at the correspouaing period of laxt year. Even at its present amoant, $16,000,000, the specie basis is absu:d}y and dangerously email with refer- ence to the enormous nitude of the traneactiona built} upon 8 narrow a foundaticn. According to the latest returns, the loans of the Baok of Eogiand upon poblic and private securities amounted toonly $120,000,0C0, while the specie in their vaults excaed- ed $90,000 000 If this ratio of specie to loans is deemed recessary by the Bank of England for {ts security, how can it be cons‘dered safe for the Naw ‘York batks to tend $100,000,000 with a specie re- serve of omy $16 000,000? A very slight turn im the rate of exehange, or in the current ct impcrte, would drain them of half of their pittance cf gold in a few weeks. It is, more- over, to be borce in mind that the real capital of the ‘banks, which pro’ess to lend a hundred miliions, is only aboatfitty mUlions, and consequently one-hair of their loars merely represents a fictitious valae or arbitrary expansion of the currency whic) has no wubstantia] «x stence, and is exposed at all times to betuddeniy withdrawn or materially reduced, to the rievous injuiy of these who are dependent upon oans.

AND yore New Yong, July 23, 1855. Hoy. F xxyaxpo Woop, MayoR:— Yours of the 20th inst. is received, and in I ‘would respectfully state the pais tapout 9 delay in corsummating the for cleaning the streets with the lowest bidders: — The Board of Aldermen and Councilmen, some- time eince, passed a resolution requitiag the Heads cf Department to send all contracts to the Common Connci} for confirmation previous to concluding the seme. dtke section 494 of the ordinance directin; that ro cor tract for the payment of which an : propristicn has not p: ly been made, spall Figs ed or executed until euch contract and all esti- matis relating thereto, shall have been laid before the Saee ‘Council, and an appropriation made therefor, ‘The appropriation called for by predecessor was {01 iantog the streeta for the fens 1855, based on the contracts then in existence. In conasquence of the neglect of the contractors, a portion of the contrecta were declared void by me, and I then, with your concurrence, proceeded to clean the _ streets until the balance cf the contracts wea'd expire. he vart smcunt of filth, ashes, garbage, &-., that wes left by the contractors in the streets, required an additioral force of men and vehicles to remove the same, exd of course added greatly to the ex- penee, in consequence of which the appropriation was reduced to a low figure, not leaving more than Maree uy carry the department thr. to tho first ot Augast I, in accordance, therefore, with what I believe to be the true meanirg and intent of the ordinance 494, eubmitted to the Buard of Councilmen all tae eati- . Dates and the pames of the lowest bidders, together with the amcunt of each estimate, for confirmation, aud o'-o eubmitted o statement of the loot six months, asking for an appropriation at the eame time. As a public officer 1 feel anxious to promote the | public good as far aa lies in my power, end at the | same time to comply strictly with what I believe to be my daty. My advertisement calls for proposals for clesni: | zt th date of the exeow. the streets for one year from the tion ot the contract. Censequently, therefore, there shoold, accorciog to the ordinance, be an appropria- tion made for tne, year named before I have the power to execal same. e sppropria- tion is made to cover the expenditure o: for in | tre estimates, it would be otha Bape department in difficulties of a sericus nature to give out con- by os ard bave no money to pay them with. ee aie My regsons for have taken. en be mistaken in om opiaion, but am willing to be corrected if wrong. ventions are to do right in this and all other matters apper- taining to the department over which I presids. I can e€e Ro reasons, nor have any been offszed to mo, to induce me to alter the course I have taken in this matter. It is cow in the hands of tie Common Council, and I am ready to faldl the'r instructions immediately on the receip$ of the eame. In the meantime I proceed to keep the city as clean es poselole, acd remit no exertion go lo: asthe balance of the app ion, for 1855 ie | last, which will be probal one week more; after that time, | do not at present see how we can OEE i without an appropria‘ion from the Comm n uncil, In regard to the communication of Smith, Ssckel & Co. to scu, and which I have seen in the moraing pepers cf to-day for the first time, I would re- eRe ctfally state that they have not represented the facte cf the case in a true and just light to you; for Bed purpose they have done so, [ am at a loea to ktow. At the opening cf the estimates on the 12th in stent, » large number of them were deolared infor mal by the Comptroller; among these were the bids ot Bmith, Seckel & Co., a!l of whioh lacked the very | important requisite called for by the ordinance, No. 498, nemely: “It (the extimate) shail be verified by the oath in writing of the party m: the estimate thet the several matters atated therein ere in all Tespects ti ue.” ‘The cmirsion of the sffidavit, I think, was fetel to their estimates, and rendered them informal; but I wily, by the advice of the Corporation Couasel and the Comptroiler. allowed them to make the affi davit within ity:four hours, under the rule that erreys of form may be 20 altered. Whe ther this omitsion of an affidavit was an error of term or of substance I leave to o*hers to dacide. To stow that I acted fairly in the matter, I notonly allowed them twenty-four hours, but extended the ee boo eight hours longer, in order to sc,0mmo late-them. They state that I notified them to produce their securities with a view of closing said cyntracta. This is false. I never did rotify them for apy such pur- pore; ard they well knew and understood at the time thas the Arye who were williog to go their security, provided the contract was awarded to them, were only required to make affidavit thet they were worth the amount that they were willi to bebcund for. This I at the time tol foe’ eat shee ee ¥ y ecting the repeatediy were only correcting mistokes they bad made {n their estimates, Immediately after they had so alterei their cati- mates and made them tebe much to my execution of for action cn their I treated witu the contempt it deserved, and informed them I shoald notify them when the contiacts were ready, it they were c7- fumed by the Common Couacil. They then de- warded blank copies of the coutracts ad bonds, for the purpose, I suppose, of making the contracts themselver. As | consider myself perfectly abie to condact the buinees of this department, I, of course, dectined to furnish the eame. In their card to you and the public, they state that their proposals are in due form of law. The do not state thas they were so when presented, leaving the public to belteve that they required no time tor alteration, and that they were, when pre- sented, correct. ‘They also state that they filed in due time, when the facts are that they not filed in due form until the third day after t! were ¢ fered; aud [ have my doubte whether they are even now legally filed. There arc other parties whose estimates are the lowest tor eight of the wards. No complaints have been made by them of the action thst has been taken by me ip regard to all the estimates received. {t eeemas singulsr that so mach interest should be manifested entirely for this rn ta and that the others, who sre equaily entitied their claims, | © sLould be overlocked. For my part, I shall endeavor parties. | to deal equal and exact justice to all All complaints that may be made to you in regard | to the streets will be attezded to instantly by send- ing to this office. Many of the complaicts are made without canse, by interested in bringing this department into éisri loping that my vi wa may meet with your ap: | prova!, I remain yours, respectfally, J. E.
