Peeata, Jan. 39, 1855, The cause of justice and of right, waich I have pro- claimed, requt: ing i: te deprive tos a0 called gyverament of Mexico of all ihe zerources with the ald of whica it would be enabled to prolung the presvut struggle, I have given the following ord:1s:— First. The importation of foreign goods, proceeding from tho the port of Vera Cruz inso tae interior of tne repablic, shall not be permitted as long as that port does not adopt the political plan prooiata in Zacapoa ‘la. Secona. The cargoes which are already en routs for Mexio» shail be stopped in the city of Paeols, and pay at crease of our neerasities. Thero are points of expan- Giture which are forced up n the Deparimeat that cugbtto de obvisted. Every effort is belag made to p:e- vent it in future and cbtain redress for the past. Your Commi: peed not remind you that they refer to the unjust ition upon the citizens ot New York by the lage number of vagrants, prisoners and lanstics, os weil us the ontdcor poor, who are thrown upon ‘hen through the inability of the Commissioners of Rmigratdoa to support those who are tarown upon pubdiic charity during the first five years of their residence Eire. fhe sam aiceady expended has reached $60,600, wicshont inclu iing all previous time when no account was rend This evil still existe; and unles: sxme action is hed to remedy it, the burthen wiil reach far beyond the present claims made for their support. there is no good reason why the city should not be protected sgainst this unjust use of its charities, by m tonal or State interfereace {2 its beaaif, o 4a fuera: of tre fand of the Gummissioners of Emigration, by an acditi-n to the present passenger tux, Nearly one-fifth of our disbursements, at ths present time, will be found (o arise from relief extended t2 the poor of the city, outside of our institutions. This aps- cies of ex] sare has eo; the serious consideradon of your ittee, and they confe’s themselves ata loss to remedy this evil, which is one of great magait —oce which was bequeathed ta ‘the Department by their receceewors, and has bad existence from un early period in the urgapizs:iun of the Departmen. The paymant of weetly stipends fm money, and tae distribution of fael, have brought this line of expenditure to the enormous eum of $121,000, for 1855. The character of the relief is such as is requires, temporariiy, t» keep masses ot etrvggling Soharitents from actaaily makiog thsic home in tte Alzehouse, proper. Im addition to the provision mads by the Department for this class, xt would be a falr estimate, in tne opinion of your Commitee, to.adé $200,000 as}the amouat given ts this same class of dependants by the Association of the Poor acd other private charitable wssocietims. To d:ive this cinss to the Alms house ani otner icstitutions, seems to us, would be at war with a pops: philsnturs- py andajest ecouomy, involving -he fature prosperity oi the retieved parties, as we'l ssa vary largs outlay ia the ereciicn of ammense bui:dings for their pro esthon and care. The Committes. therefore, deem i: of the first importance to urge upon their fellow citizens engage dia private charities, to unite in the closest scrutiny, that this great crain upon our charities may be kept withia the bounés of true charitabe expeniituce, as gensral economy in the Department is not only desirable, bat is peritively Cemanded at the hands of the Governors of tt, and every effort should be made to accomplish this ead. In considering the past, axd providing for the fature in this er sential r, your Comaic:ee have come to tke conclusion that the sggcegste sam pald for official mecbsnicsl labor is grea‘er than is really rh instances exist where e1 increase of pay would de justifiable, and well deserved. Tae heads of the varicus institutions have furnishe! their yeariy re , which are herewith presented. Tue tabies are full, and, we trust, based upon a strict adberense t> the actual condition of their respective departments. ‘Your Committee, in conciusiop, would state with all frankness, that they ree nothing to interfere with a just and aaitretin hear eye meapel 9 of tue sffa:re of tho De- partment, except it may grow out of making use of it as the reward of politizal service, or as @ means of relief to the personal bur*bens of the Governors, and other offi- cials connected with the admin tration of its affairs.

Every encouragement should be given to faithful ser- vies, and no officer should be permitted to hoid bis or hoc —— who does not reyard the good reputation of the partment of sufficient importance ty deport tham- selves, at all times, as good and sober citizens should do. The private efforts made to improve the condition of + the inmates of our institution are worthy a respectful notice, and should have every encouragement the De- partment can properly give. Your Cor tee cannot, however, refrain from ex- pressing a nope that the same class may fiad encoarage- ment and aid, while struggiiog for empioymeat, which in = cares the want of drives them cespairingty to the The receipts of the Department begin to show that the work roto h ag be made to do much towards supportin; it, p the sentences of vagrants, prisoners an others are made with intelligence, and that labor is not too much restrained by legisintion. Your Commitiwe desire to way that the expenditure for the Lunatic Asylum and Nucsery at Randail’s Isignd are called for by objec's of pute charity, The claims they make are not such as are mide for those who fill the nor even the Alwanouse, but presen’ those of a character.
