wee 8 TOE LECILATIVE POLICE COMNITTER, ‘Tustimeny of Justice Osborne, Justice Con- Disposed of at the Hirst District Police Court. The Legislative Police Committee resumed their exami aation yesterday, at the City Hall, ail the members being present, with the exception of the Chairman, Mr. Crosby Barvabas W. Osborne was the first witoessaworn. He testified aa feliows:—I »m & police magistrate of the city of New York; I have been one between elovon and twelve rears. Mr. Stuyvesant—Will you be kind enough to state whethor you know of any abuses existing in the police courtet Justice Osborne—I was a clerk six years before I be- came magistrate; there were a great many abuses existing at that tine, but I think they have been gra. dually diminished down to the present time; it is sup. posed that there are no practitioners who practice law ‘a0 the Tombs, except persons who are called “ shysters’’; in cases of false preteue-s, grand larcomies and other of- fences of that descrptin, respectanle lawyers, however, are generelly employva. Mr. Stuyverant— Mr. Beale stated thet there was a boy confined for disoraerly cuncast, in one of the prisons, whe had not even soap, water ors towl to oleaa himself —do you know apy thiug a>out the boy * Justice Osborne—} dea’t know till 1 see. bim, Mr. 8. How long have you knows s party tobe looked upin the station house ocefore being brought before a committing magistraie? Justice O.—) have known them to be locked up » week. Mr. O'Keefe—If your suggestion in relation t. trying offences were cacried vut, would it c.asume more Justice O.—No, sir. Mr. S—How often have you seen tho Mayor in your Justice O.—-Not more than once or twice; I have not an interpreter atiached to my court; all the magistrates don’t 4 the different languages; ! speak five; I was compel im self-detence to jearn German; the magis- trates -hould have in'erpreters in their courts; in regard to the liberation of p:isuners on habeas corpus, the blame in oltached unjustly to magistrates; I know of a case in which aver ope huvired vagrants were discharged, and the same parties that I hai comml:ted one day wore brought before me the next; it appeared tat the lawyers had got a new dovge; they would go to the County Clerk aud get a certificace from him that there waa no record of conviction filed in his office, which was true, because the law required us to file them with the clork of the Sessions, and tbe Judge on this plea would dis- charge them; tbe Judges are, no doubt, very fomidar with the statures, but mot the local laws, and in this way they are liable to be deceived; of the vagrants who are commit:ed, more than one half ‘are seat to the island on their own confession; the police magistrates bave no control over their clerks; J think the mogistrates ought to have the power of appointing their own clerks; in acme cases I have had to take depo- sitions in the absence of the c'erks; | have also known the clerks to take them while the magistrate away, fut the magistrate ulwnys decides upon the case after wards; thia is done by the clerk merely to save time; I don’t ‘think there are enough magistrates; there ought to be f:om ten to teelve; at presext there are ight) they ought always to be provided with suilicient clerical assistance and of the right kind; the despatch of busi- ness depends as much upon the in‘eltigence and activity of the clerk us it does upon the magistrate. Me Hopkins—What do you think of the appointment and election of megistrates? Justice O.—Well 1 waa always opp>sed to an elective judisiary; they were formerly appointed by joint ballot et the Common Council; under the old law they coald be impeached by the Coanty Court, but st presont thero is no euch oourt, they cannot be reached by any law now existing. Mr. S.—Do you know anything of Tombs rkinners? Justice 0.—I don’t know that there is any more of them at the Tombs than at any other prison, in proportion to the business done; I have known instauoes of police pro- caring cotinsél for prisoners. Kix-Lity Judge Eeebe was next examined. io testuied as follows:—I was Judge of this city for four years previ- ous to January last, avd as such | held the terms of the Speoial and General sessions; the Special Sessions are those held in the morning, about twice a week, before the City Judge or Reco: der, without the interventioa of a ju- ry; since tho expiration of my term the powers of the Special Sessions have been enlarged so as to include mis- demeanors; my attention has been directed to sumo of the abuses of criminal justice; I conceive the law very do6- clent in regard to takiog bail upon the arrest of'a party; the legal cilect of taking pail to appear to answer, is to destioy the pcwer of the magistrate, and I have ao doubt of its lxing Ulegal; as the law stands now the ristrate must commit to prison or let the prisoner be placed in custody of the officer, which is the same un to let him ‘run; great difficulties exist in regard to vagrant cass; some persons are kent up to the tielend on a charge of vagraney who are not va- boys who have been found playing in the street ere sometimes sent vp, avd 1 know of une case in which ® buy who was found playing about the city was reat up for two weeks, wud his mother never knew of his where: abouts till the end of that time; this sbuse arises from ‘the too great freedom of awearing on the part of some policemen and great amount of Wusiness the magis- trates have to perform; I granted write of habeas corpus tm cases of vagraucy to the number of 3000 during my term of four years; by Jaw all judges, but especially the criminal Judges, cught to be prevented from all con- nection with executive, adminkstrative or legisiative du 1s; the Recorder and City Judge are crowded with other duties and have not time to attend to the dusies of f’o- lice Commissioners; the great dilficulty about the office of Police Commissjuner ia 1t8 connection with the judi- eiary; a judiciary ofticor ought mever be called upon to exercise inch dniies; it places, besides, too much power in his bands if he should be a man of no integrity, and J \bivk it is wrong jor & judge to ocsupy such & position; the Reoorder more than the City Judge is connected with youuicipal business; he fs as youch of an exsoulive and logislative officer as he iy « judicial; chen the wants of the Voting Department require more time and attention; it cngh¢to to made tne duty of those who have charge of it to attend to i: alone, and to visit the station houses day and night, and see that justice 1s done the men; I be‘ieve the department suffers from this; it is as iapos- sible to gain admission to the Mayor aa to the Great Mo- gul, on sceount of the business he has to do; J don't think he ought to be deprived of his position as head of the Potice Department, but he should have co workers, Mr. Hopkine—Is the departinent made at proseat to subserve the interests of any political party? Mr. \'ecbeo—That is a question I should not Hke to an- swer; | think the etfect of appointing men for lile would be to Gill the department with old men, that ix, if they are sppotuted during good behavior; | wlso think that IC ap: a poiated for four or six years, at the ond of that term they may be whut ont from holding the office again; Jd old his cfhice for dou’t believe ihe Chief of Police sho i 4 he now stands, he is one of the Conumi ers on ules and regulations of the department; I think ent magisterial foree in this city; we have got Judges enough; the clerical force might be in- creased; [have no doubt that a magistrate could exa- mine one or two hundred cases in a day and do substantial justice; during one term I disposed of 1,230 cases; 1 cleared the calendar every Tuesday or Friday; there may have beon instances of ix justice dqne to parties in the Sessions; during the time 1 wre in Court there was not a moath in which every case brought before it cond not be dispoved of in that time; the average number sent to the Suste prison by my court was from thirty to thirty five daily; there have been instances of partics having been tried and arrested one day, and tried and sent to prison the next; in the case of the mau who picked the pocket of John M. Botts, at the Metropolitan Hotel, he was sent up the day after his arrest; I think the magis. trates yi to have more clerical help, and more con. wol over it. Mr. Stuyvesent—How often have you known the te order acd City Judge to hoid concurrent courts? Mr. Beebo—It was onr habit to hold them in Augu' in regatd to property alleged to be stolen, | found ver great difficulty when I was in Court, and wns obliged to send around for it to the different station houses; on ‘this account | was obliged to pat off trials in conse quence; | think there should be some law passed ro- quiring it to be brought to the clerk of the Court of Ses- +lons; it is important that the pores should bein the Court, if necessary for evidence, with ‘the least possible Maurice Decamp, sworn, testified as follows—I am an ex-Meuterant of police; 1] was in that oflice for four years in the Fighth ward; 1 know two prominent garfbling houses in the Fighth ward; they are well known to the police; they have been reported in the semi-annual porta to the Chief, and last winter the ocsupants were ar Tested; what became of the cases I don't know; there are several policy shops im the Eighth ward; the captain re- quire the policemen to make reports twice a year to him of houses, houses of prostitution and lottery shops, and be reporta them to the Chief of Police; there are from seventy-five lo one handrod houses of prosutntion 1 have known of policemen to take money from the keepers of brothels in that ward; the mombers of the depsrtment are in the habit of visiting such houses; I can’t state the casew I know without bringing the parties icto difficulty; they have procured it by going into these houses and sr. row who wore disorderly; for these servicos they lave been paid; if the police were to do their daty mf cases, the number of such places would be ma- terially dimini+hed; | think partiality Is shown to cer. tain houses; I have heard of those houses being assessed a for t excursions for the € ‘Are the police of the opinion thet ‘they broke up these houses iv would be the oause of ali the geatiomen leaving the city !

A. | think the citizens of New York are somewhat amorously inclined; but I don’t think they are a necessary evil. Q. If the houses in certain localities were broken up. would it not scatter them throughout the olty? A. Yes, sir, I think it has done so; it drives them inio houses with respectable people, Mr. Stuyvesant—What amen¢ments do you renee tp ‘the oap- they had @ Don’t denefit the police lawr A I think the power tains is too much restricted, and I think if wore, the department would be more efficient; they should have the power to punish tor minor offences, and to grant little indulgences; ei impression i# that politics conrrol the appointinents men now as much a4 ever; in justice to myself, 1 may atate that I wasa member ot the department nearly five years, six months of which 1 wasa private; when my term expired, 1 appited for = reappointment; I was told by Judge Beobe that 1 might possibly succeed, bat if defeat it would be solely on Tepe nds; this was while Mayor Woestervelt, iow and Beese wergcommissioners; 1 was defvated in my application for r¢-appoiatment og, Se same board; this was a year ago, in December, 5 politics have as much pow as ever to do with appointments—are still @ qualification for appointment; this T have been told by those who are now in the department, Q Does this operate against the Hindoos or democrats?

I don’t know that I can answer that; i think the tys- tem, whether controlled by whiga, cemoorats or Aindoos, will always be @ pol ical one, 40 'loay a6 it is left under the coatrol of party politicr; {have known of Commission - ers disregarding the rule, in some oases, requiring the applicant to know how to read and write; I know of one cuse Where the party was appointed, while I was Heuton- ant, who could neither nor write, and the Com: sioner: knew this also, Mr, O’Keefe— Don’t you think such osses are very rare? Witneas—! think the cases would not be very rare if there was no such rule, Mr. §.—have you ever known of any one to be appoint- edon the police wio was convicted of any crime’ A, Yee, sir; I know of porties having been appointed who were convicted of misdemeanors, and im) ed im the Venitentiary; but I know of none who had been convicted of high crimos, Judge Moore, of Brooklyn, was next sworn. Mr. Hopkins—We desire fei ge to make a state- mont in regard 1o what Mr. said of you. Judge M.—He s‘ated that a mou named Williams, and & woman named Ann Smith, who pretends to be his wife, were convicted in August, 1864, whereas they were con- victed in January, 1866; he also mated that | asked him to try to do suméthing for them to get them out, aad that he replied 1 bad done very wrong towards them; I wish to say in regard to that that no such conversation ever passed be! ween Mr. Beale and m: mor anything Nike it, either in form or substance; I did have a conver- sation with hiw, in which he asked me in rd to the persone referred to, and in which I explained the reasons why they were kept #0 long in confinement, and with which he appeared to be entirely satisfied; this is all I de- sire to ray regard to that matter. Mr. Stuyvessnt—Docs not the interference of Mr. Beale canse persons to be discharged who should not be? Judge Moore—Well, he might be mistaken aa well as anybody; I think in regard to the police system of Brook- lyn, as itis at present organized, the people would do better without it. Mr. Hopking—Well, sir, 1 guess that exhausts the subject. Judge Moore—The: are no means by which obedience cap be enforced except the Aldermen do it, and thes ap- point theic political friends to office; a policeman can only be removed by the Aldermen in’ conjunction with the Mayor. The Aldermen gencraily retain their frieuds in office; they appoint them for pelitical services, and ean remove them without cause; it is impoasible to pro- cure efficiency under these cireumstances; the force is abont 420; the system should be 40 altered that discl- pline and 'efliciency could be secured; the cren’‘on of a ard of Commissioners would effect this; 1 think the system of New York is far the best; the Judiciary sboald have vothing to do with the appointment of offi sors; Idox’t know of any evils thas exist under the present vagrant law in Brooklyn, s& we have discreet magistrates, who periorm their duties very strictly; in the city of Williamsburg they are a little negligent; in Brooklyn there are from 500 to 500 vagrants committed daring tl eur; Ihave known more than 500 indictments having yeon’ found by the Grand jury of Kings county in one month, but that included a great many violations of the Maine Liquor law. Mr. er—In the ease of the parties meationed by Mr. Beale, how long atter their committal were they kept till entenceat Judge Moore—They were nover sentenced; they were isch: in the cage of a burglary committed in Brook- lyn by three persons; they were arrestei in this city by One of Captain Norris’ men, and were convicted of burglary in the first degreo; two of these wore Benjamin Williams and his wife, Ano Smith. mentioned by Mr, Beale; one of the partios named John Williams, confessed that he was guilty, but that the other two—Henjamin and his wife—were innocent; they alro said that there were two persons in this city who knew of their innoceace; I pro- cured their names, and caused them at the next term of the court to bo brought to Brooklyn, and having put them under oath I examined them, and from the story they told I believe the jury never would have found Williams und bis wife guilty bad they known it before; T inquired, also, into their previous character, but found they had not borne ® very reputable one before; that Ann Smith had been a Water street prostitute, and that Pen}. Williams’ character had not been much better; I concluded it would be unjust to send. them to the State Prison, but that it would do thom good to lock them up, ‘and they accordingly were locked up until within a few days; thoy were artested about the full of 1854; satisfied of their innocenes in the particular crime of whieh the were accused, | discharged them on their own recogt sances, to return to receive their sentence; I had reason to suppose that they might be innosent; i€ sentenced, they would have bad ten years imprisonment. Captain Ditchett, of tac Fourth ward police, reenlles— Mr. Stuyvesant—Do you know of any abuses existing in the Volice Department Capt. Ditchott—One evil struck mo; Ihave often had parties brought in ona change of choptif ing—the owners and witnesses appearing; as this was after the courts had adjourned, I heard the complaints, and locked the partie « up. Riere Mr, Bonle interrupted. the witnent and sd that in regail to the case of Judge Moore he was incorreetl reported, end made to use Language that ke never ut- tered. Captaln Ditcheti continued—In auch cscs I notify the complainants to appear next morning at the station house; after coming to the station house all the parties are then sent to the Police Courts, where the examination takes place, the parties committed for trial, and the com painants notified thet they will receive a subpans when wanted; they then appear at the Court of Special Ses. sions, and in some mstances mere than once; Thave had a great many complain that gevting back their goods and having the parties corvicted Js more loss of time than the original loss of the goods would amount to; I speak of this ease to ahow the trouble the complainant is put to before ® conviction cin be had; in my opinion, power should be given to captains of police to dixpose of those cases: they should have power to take tho testimony and have the ease ready to be adjucieated upon by the magis- trate; I don’t beliave they can do thie, however, except the oilice is made elective. Justice Connolly sworn, testified as follows:—f lara a police magivtrate of thiv city; | have been applied to by the friends of parties to request captains w ecnd them to the magirtrate’s courtffor «i jndication. Mr. Hopkina—Doer this tnble contain the eases tha you have entertained and adjudicated upon? Justice Connolly—Yes, sir. Mr. Stuyvesent—Have you any control over your clerks} + Justice C.—No siz; and 1 have frequently been told w; I thing we ought to have tho power of appointing them; we should have at least two clerks and a scriv ener; the interpreter in my office, Mr. Fennoburg, has had to act in the capacity of clerk many times.

HOUSTON—THE GENERAL DHFINES HIS POSITION. {From the New Orleans Pioayune, Dec. 6.) The steamship Perseverance, Capt. Sheppard, from Indianola and Galveston, arrived yesterday. By this arrival we have Sun Antonio papers to the 24th ult., Galveston to the Ist inst., and a number of others ten ite. Ugo ond coast (coche ON bark Weser, fromjBremer Passengers, was off Gatveston bar on the Int inst. The vews by this arrival 1s interesting—especially that from Austin. A letter to the Galveston News, dated Aus- tin, November 24, says:— ‘wo measures of much importance to the State, have already been ixtroduced in the present Legisiature. I silude to the Loan bill, and a proposition to add one mil- lion more of the funds in the treasury to the school fund. The latter evident): intended ay @ part and parcel of the loan policy. Dill introduced proposes to loan tive thousand dollars to each mile of railroad that may bo built mm the State, by companies, after they shall have finished fifty miles, State re- taining mortgage on the to secure road, payment of principal and interest, Tho tilends of the sre sanguine i will pass, nnd that the result of is passage will be that the lang looked for roads will be built forthwith. They say thet companies wiil at once go 10 work and make the first section of fifty miles, and then, by the aid of money, they willjdraw from the trea- sury, and. the land bonus, be fully ‘sble to go on and make another section, aod noon watt! the State is ac- commodated with facilities.

AN will admit that six hundred wiles of railroad, pro- petly adjusted, will give the people of Texas valuable facilitics, Another strong argument that will be urged in favor of these two measures is, that it will secure the building of the great Pociie Mailroad through Texas, evpecially if the reservation in its favor shall be con: tinued, and the bonus of twenty sections to the mleg doth of which last named measures will be strongly in- sisted upon. The foregoing oonstitute, | believe, all or the principal measures which havo as yet beon spoken of aficcting tho great question of internal imprevemonts for the State of Texas, ‘The Galveston News, of the Tat inst, sayy :— Tho fan Antonio Tear, Huntsville Hem, and veveral other express the ‘opinion that the Legislature o Taxin Mionld’ Batrane Gee Hotision’ 1o'resiga Blabest (a Congress, on aceonnt of his anti-southern sentiments, Mectirgs have been held in weveral counties and resolu- tiops paswed strongly condemnatory of the course he has pursued, and jnstructing their represontatives in the prevent Legislature to move resolutions in that body, {n- structing bim to resign his seat as Senator. We learn from the Austin correspondence of the Neics that Gen. Houston hud arrived in Austin, and that on the 22d ult. be visied the Senate, and was invited by the Prenident to a seat within the bar. The writer says :— In the House a motion was made to invite him to» seat within the bar, and then a discussion sprung wp, which was quite amusing, After the pro ce an amendment inviting Com. Moore to a seat, also, the call for the jrevious question (which, was cartisd) "and the vote, with sundry explanations, to the effect that no en- doreement ot Gen, Houston's ‘palttical course was, in- tended, the invitation was carried, Mr. Dancy voting in the negative alone. A resolution a(terwards insroducet by Mr. Kotor, inviting Com. Moore to a seat, was carried, ‘On the 2d, ax we learn from the same correspandence, the American party had a grand celob.ation in Austin, At the barieoue, Gen. Houston made a speech, of which the writer gives the following sketch:— He alluded to his voto om the Oregon bill, and argued in justification of it, ov the ground that by the terms of annexation Texas was pledged to sustain the Missouri compromise, He made a similar argument in justification of his action on the KansasNebraska bill assumed the position that he had vir- tually instructed, im consequence of the ac- ceptanoe, Texas, ‘of annexation, to maintain the Missouri compromise. He reiterated the doctrines of the American party. He was in favor of twenty-o1 yeors? probation beiore naturalization, and was opposed to the ope, Jéesuitirm, &c. He then attackea Henry A. Wise, and ook up the President and Cabinet seriatim, and ‘abused each and all, including some of the foreign mipistere. ‘Time will not permit me to go into details, but altogether the effort of the General fell short of a jas- tilication of his position, and the only sustenauce he bad, was in his thorough endorsement of the creed of td American party, ‘The same writer, in a letter dated November 21, says:— In regard to Isgislative matters, 1 have onty to remark, that Mcnday morning will probably develope something in ‘condemnation of Gon. Houston's course: It will be perceived, from his speech, that he undertakes to justify hiswotes, in consequence of the acceptancé, by Texas, of the resolutions of annexation—that inasmuch ag Texas recognizes the?

We would take. him to be an Irishman, though we telieve he claims that the blood of Caledonin mingles in bis veins with that of Eris, and that be was born on the high seas. Ordinarily he would pase without excliing remark. James Wilacn sworn—Some time during fore part of spring, think in the month of April. I went there for the Perecoterniaie, the premises of the French family; & pick and shovel »ith me; found door locked; Mason Thomas snd Stearns Fisher were with me, and Wilson Smith met ua just there and weat with us, | befieve; M. Thomas or wyself drew the staple of the door with’ the pick and went into the house; found three or four * Taised up about the middie of the floor; the hed the appearance of being recently moved; I took the pick and rained several boards, and we laid them aside; took the shovel and commenced remo the gravel, chips and rubbish under the floor; the first thing { discovered was the hand apd arm of a child; I then pushed the piok down by the one side, and pulled up with it the head and shoulders of the child or corpse; some one present remarked tbat was enough; I took s stick aud pushed the clothes off, so that we could seo the ane Lasked if they were satisfied; they said they were; I laid down the shovel, and Mr. Fisher tock it and shovelled some dict over the child, I think, and we went out, shut the door, and came to Wabash; ’ got the Coroner; had a warrant issues for a Corcner’s jury; the jary summoned, and re. turned to the cabin about dusk or a little after; found the’ cabin, flocr, and everything as we had left them an hour or two before; the jury was sworn floor taken up, and the rubbish in the house cleaned up, by carrying some things out doors, and piling others to one side in the room; we then com- menced moving gravel and stuff as before stated; come to the first ebild and took tt up; found its skull mashed in; think the inside of the head had aliran out; kull ewpty and badly broken; thiuk it was a child about three or four years old; put it on a plank and carried it out to the Coroner's jury; it was considerably decom- pored—the skin slipping off the face in two or three Places; the gravel cver it was dry; this corpse was more decomposed than any of the rest excepting the babe; continued throwing out jhe gravel till we came to another corpse, and turnea it over with the pick; as tho head turned over it opened, and the rotten contents ran out; took it out on a plank tothe jury; another child lay along cide of this one; raised it'up; skull was broken also, and the inside ran out as the former onehed done; of these three ctildren, the head of fhe first lay South, the heads of the next two both lay one way. and North; the old folks lay in the bottom of the pit side by ride; the babe lay rather on their feet or between ‘thelr legs, fis head to their feet; next lay {wo chidren, bide by side, and. heads to pa- rents’ fect. Fourth child, John, was then taken out; he had cn the clothes he generally wore; his skull, too, was broken; afier the babe was raised, and I had looked at the old folks, I left the room feeling sick, and vaw no more of them {ill they were brought ont; | believe the boates there taken out were those ot French and hia family; I think I could recognize them; J could recognize the old woman more readily than the others; she was nct so much decayed, looked more natural, and hada lame band—the lott one, | think—that one would notice; it was crippled; Tom just as well convinced it was them, ax I would be (to Mi. Wheeler) if it was you T saw lying out with your clothes on; Mrs. French had on but her chem- ise; he had on panis, or drawers, shirt, and, { think, ort; not certain, however; I believe o1 if not both, ot French’s legs were broken; think one of Mrs, French’s legs was also broken; one side of her skull was broken in; ber neck had every appearance of being breken; Mr. Freneh’s skull had the appearance of havii been broken with an axe or some piece of iron; aftor come a? from the eubin, I rode to ree window, and asked Hubbard what had become of my old friend French and his tamily; he replied that they had lett; asked where they had’ gone; said to Niles, Michigan; aeked when and how they wont; replied his (Freuch’s) brother bad come from Cincinnati for thom, and they went off in a two horse wagon; asked if wi on wax covered; said It was. Asked what timo he loft; said late in the evening. Asked if he (Hubbard) was there when French left; said he was, and eaw them all go cif together. Asked if he had seen or heard a1 thing of them since they had lcft; said he had not. Asked what they had done with their property; said he had bought it, and gave them $60 for it. Asked if his family was present when rench’s let ; said they were. I then to Hubberd, “Are you certain they weat to Nilest’? He replied that they'started in that direction, or that was where they said they were going. Hubbard told me French’s brother had come for him, and, as 1 understood him, was going to locate him somewhere; that be was avxious to get away; and had left in the evening; after leaving the jail 1 went to Mr. Squires, the Coroner, told him the facta ‘we had discovered, and returned agtin to the jail and told Hubbard we had found French and his whoie family buried under the floor of the cabin where they bed been living. Ho said he did not know aaything about it; that if they wore there, some person else must have put therm there when he was uot at home. I ssid, “Did you not tell me a few moments ago that they had moved to Ni ex, Michigant’? He replied, no, he did not; and that if Twore to thet, I would swear to a d-—d, or a durnd, lie. 1 them left hum; thie was the sane evening the bedies were taken from the pit in the cabin. The New Steam Frigate Niagara, TO THE KPITOR OF THE HERALD. New Youk, Dec. 14, 1855. In vour paper of this morning your Washington oor- respondent “E.”’ stutes that the United States propeller Niagara, now building by contract in New York, is pro- nounced a failure by the Naval Constructor. As lam familiar with all the vessels now butlding in New York, and none of them being what is termed a propeller, Ipuppose be intends it for the screw vteamer Niagara, now building at the Navy Yard, New York, by naval constructor George Steers. I wish to be informed if he isthe naval constructor who pronounced that master piece of naval architecture a failure, or some of the old fogiee who have given so mapy burlesyues ip war steam erg to this country. Mr. Editor, give the public, if you can, the name of the sage who pulffishes to the word a fact nine months be- fore an opportunity can be had to text it. A rops is a gooa thing to pull by, but a screw not to push by. Don't the Constructor think so ? MARITIME INTELLIGENCK. Aminad OR Tey Foun—tum Bay. 717 | moon sete.
