The plers of the city are the private property of the Corporation, an distinguished from their publie property in the streets and highways, In regard to the latter, owning shares a= trustees for the public use, they could not lease or dls- pose of them, and are bound to keep them in repair. In regard to the piers, they hold them not only as their pri- vate property, from which they derive income and profit, but are bound by the amended charter of 1853, to lease them at public auction to the highest bidder. ‘Their obligation to keep them in repair, therefore, is no other than the obligation of CN owners in regard to their private property, which is simply that during the time it remains in their possession and under their control br are’ liable to renee for injuries arising from want of repair. The liability to damages depends not upon the ownership, but upon the posnes- sion of the property, and hence the tenant, and not the landlord of the property under lease is the person who is liable in such cases.’ “This was ordered to be printed. ‘The report on the Mayor in reference to his refusal to report particulars respecting police appofutinents, boing culled up by Alderman Wakeman— Alderman Kxtty hoped that the report would lie on the table, as the opposition was not present now.

Fomonta, Bsq., New York, MORE RESPECTING TRE FOREIGN EMIGRATION. Some curiowy notions are evidently entertained con- cerning the «teps taken by the Mayor nad Commiasioncra of Emigration to prevent the shipping to thix couatry of persous who might become a charge upoa the city, and nd oT mn par eens whe low ~ and vagabgads with which tht goodly metropolitan city hewel, For euch as tinagine that all emigrants who are n show a certain amount of money or property ate ex- cluded by the emigration iwa from tle country, the annexed letter of Hon. V. Grabon, Prussian Change dAffiires in this city, and the explanation of Mayor Wood, will be read with intareat:— PResean Lecattoy, New Yore, | New York Hore, July 21, 1865, | SmI beg leave, in reference to our conversation of (this morning, to state the question about which you would be kind evough to inform me as fullows:— Is the admission of emigrants arriving from foreign countries at the port of New York subject to legal re- strictions, and to which? And more particularly— ‘Will it be required that such emigrants, on their arri- val, have to show a certain umount of money or proper- ty, of which they are possessed, not to iucur the risk to return back? The friendly relations existing between the United States and the kingdom of Prussia make it the more desira- ble to me be fully informed about the above questions, and to be enabled to prevent as fay as in my power difficulty which might arise through unacquaintance witl the laws rules and regulations concerning immigration in your State and city. TI have the honor to be, most respectfully, your obedient servant, V. GRAHON, Charge d’AMnires. Hon, Fen:tanno Woon, Mayor of the city of New York, Maron's Orncnr, Ang. 7, 1855. Tear Siz—Your communication of the 21st instant would have received an earlier reply but for absence from the city, aad more immediately pressing engage- nents, ‘There are no recent euactments governing the intro- dvetion of emigrants into thiy port. The same lawa re- gulate emigiation now as did betore the commencement cf my term of office in Januery last, and which ofcourse are familiar to your goverument. The more faithful en forcement of existing lows has been mistaken fur the adoption ofpew and more stringent legislation. It is true that some recent legis ons on the part of the Eml- gront Cou ers in their departracnt, and by myself in mine, have materially obstructed the facility with which @ certain class of emigrants deemed highly objec- tlonable have found ingress into thix port, bat there have been no laws passed by Congress or by the Legislature of this State throwing any difficulty in Uio way of propor emigration to thia country. In reply to your interrogatory it ix sarcely necessary for me to add that emigrants, on their arrival at this port, will not be “required to exbiblt a cexvtain amount of money, or properly of which they are possessed, not to incur the risk of being rent back.” There is no such condition lu the laws or in the regulation of the Commissicnere. As a further understanding of this subject and as show- ing how much interest the authorities and people of th country take in the promotion of gration, 1 beg to enclose a reply ma y last to a communication on the same subject, from the Hon, seodore 4.
