The Councilmen Committee on Streets, Mr. Van Riper, chairman, met yesterday at 2 P. M., at the Library Room, City Hall, to hear statement of parties relative to the proposition to widen Reade street tweaty- five feet from Broadway west to Hudson street. The chairman stated t.at a petitionand remonstrance in favor and against the proposal were before the committes, signed by property owners in the street. Mr. R. L, Stewart, the sugar refiner, first appeared be. fore the committee, and opposed the widening of the sireet, The recent widening of Duane street, he urged, a8 affording every facility needed tor convement carti wey? frum Broaaway Hudson river. The puol waats did not require itin a commercial point of view. Mr. MeCuréy suggested that the proposition was only to widen the street 10 Hudson street, Mr, Stewart said he was aware of this, but he was aware further that if the street was widened to the point named, the next thing demanded woula be the widening of the remainder of the street through tothe river. Were ‘this to be done, he would (rag esd Joss from the posi- tion and magnitude ot his buildings on the corner of Greenwich street. Aside trom this, ne insisted that the proporition im question had its origin among speculators, who supposed by the street being widened they would enhance the value of their property. Mr, Howell Hoppock agreed with Mr. Stewart. He ad- ded that the parties asking L widening were mainly occupants of stores on Duane“Street, who were anxious to ges more light into their warehouses and more space for their carts to back up to load and unload. Mr. McCurdy argued in favor of the petition at conside- rable lergth. The requirements of businers, he insisted, called for the widening of the street. The street should be widened to preserve harmony with Chambers street below and Duane street above. As to farther widening west, this would never be done without consent of the ite whore property waa to be affected. He added owners of property between Broadway and Had- ¢on street, with the exseption of two, desired the widen- irg of the street. The remonstrants owned property west of Hudson street, Wiaich waa not to be affeccec by the widening of the street. Mr. Biss, of the firm of Bliss, Douglas: & Blits, paid’ they were about to enect rilk warehouse, fifty 1eet front and fire stories high. ex- tending from Reade to Duare street, and it was impor- tant to know whether the street was to be widened or not.

BRADLEY, Commities OTIS D. SWAN, Board JOHN VANTINE, Conacltmen. At the hour indicaved there was a large number of per- fon# ascembled in and around the City Hall awaiting the arrival of Mr. Everett, and for the preservation of order there was @ considerable force of police also in attend- ance, Punctual to the appointed time, Mr, Everett made his appearance, io company with Alderman Ely, and pro- ceeded to the Governor’s Room, where the ceremony of introduction took place. He first preseated to the Mayor, who in a few appropriate remarks welcomed him to the city. He said. Mr, Evenvrt—In behalf of the Common Council of New York, I weleome you. As the representatives of the people we are happy in having this opportunity to thus publicly testity our respect for your character as a dis- Urguithed cizen, We feel that {tis to the services of men hike yourself, whose lie has been devoted with signal ability and disintereatedness to the interests of the waole country, that this city is indebted for much of {ts present wealth and power. It gives me pleasure to offer the hos- pitality «x: New York, and to assure you tha: there 1s but ove opinion here as to Kdward Everett, that how- ever differing as to ali other men, or upon public and political questions, we are unanimous in the belief that your public and private career has been governed by the Gictates of a patriotic heart and a brilliant inteliect— alike devoted to the prosperity and to the preservation of the union of our common country. To this Mr. Evgrerr replied in substance as follow: Mz, Mavon—I am greatly indebted to you for this, I may say, unexpected honor—this signal and precious monifestation to me of the favorable opinion entertained of me by the consiituted authorities of this great city, and by my follow-citizens. I have come hefe, as you are ‘snare, 08 @ private citizen, to perform a private daty, by the invitation of s great and respectable association, und not for the purpose of attracting public attention or no- tice. ‘This exhibition of your friendship and kind re- gards is therefore peculiarly gratifying to me. I con- rider this act of attention on the part of the constitured authorities of the city ot New York aa one of the great- est honors of my life, and I shail ever bear it in my best recollection, me express to you my ardent wishes for the welfare of this great metropolis, and my desire that its growth, as the commercial emporium of the whole country, may continue without interruption, and all ita enterprises be attended with that prosperity which bas hitherto blessed them, At the conclusion of Mr. Everett's reply, the crowd waa introduced individually, and a pretty fair representation it formed of the varied population of the Empire City. If he remembers all the faces and namea which he saw and heard yesterday he basa greater memory than even that of Napoleon himself. He will not, however, s20n forget the handshaking he received, a torture to which every distinguished man who visits our city Is always subjected at these public recep‘imns, However, wo sup- pose it is all right, andif Mr. Everett himself has n0 com- Pisints te make on that score, we suppose we ought to be satisfied, Obituary. CHARLES G. HUNTER. Charles G. Hunter, late a lieutenant in the navy of the United States, died in this city on Tuesday, aged about forty-five years. Mr. Hunter was a native of New Jersey, and entered the service Nov. 11, 1824, and was advanced to the rank of licutenant on the 24th of June, 1834. He wase@capable and experienced officer, and was brought before the public by the capture of Alvarado during the Mexican war, Lieutenant Hunter commanded the United States steamer Scourge, a vessel of light draught, buil’ expressly for service in the shallow waters of the smal harbors on the Mexican coast. The squadron, under the command of Commodore Perry, had twice retired from Alvarado. On the 80th of March, 1847, the day after the rurrender of Vera Cruz, a combined movement was made by a brigade, under the command of General Quitman, ‘and a powerfv] fleet, under Commodore Perry, who did not get much giory from Vera Cruz, and derived » small barvest of laurels from Alvarado. Previous to this tim Commodore Perry had sent Lieutenant Hunter to watch the mouth of the river. Instead of remaining inactive, Lieut. Hunter made an advance upon the town, which fortunately for him, waa neither fortified nor garrisoned. ‘He demanded its surrender, and before Perry and Quit. man arrived all the usual forms had been gone through with. Geveral Quitman took the matter very philosophically ; but Commodore Perry was exceedingly indignant, and Hunter was tried bys court martial at Annapolis, Taere ia nothing that appeals so forcibly to the popular heart «a daring act like that of Hunter. Every one was on his side, and the court martial acquitted him. We next find him at cea commanding the United States brig Bainbridge, attached to the Brazil aquadron, then under the command of Commodore Salter. In the early part of last year Lieutenant Hunter became disgusted with the action of the Commodore, and brought the Bainbridge back to New York. The Articles of War inflict the pun- ishment of death for the act of deserting a squadron, but the President was content with dismissing Lieutenant Hunier from the service. Lieutenant Hunter was, as we have said before, an ex- cellent officer, though exceedingly rash, and somewhat eccentric, Ot late years he has resided at Newport, R. I. Died, cm Wednesday, Jan. 30, 1856, near Powhatan Court Mouse, Va.,an old and much respested colored woman, familiarly known as Ory Aunt Nannie. She died atthe advanzed’ age of 127 years. Such a case of lon- gevity is scarcely on record. She was much reapected tor piety by add who knew ber, She was the mother of eighteen children, all of whom died at an old age. Meeting of the Clearing tiouse Association, A meeting of the New York Clearing House Association was held on Friday last, Feb. 29, at the Merchants’ Bank. This was the first meeting of the Association since the death of George Curtis, Esq., la‘e President of the Conti- nental Bank, and chairman of the committee on the ad- mission of banks to the Clearing House. We have been furnisbed with a report of the remarks made on the occa- sion by the President of the Association, Thomas Tlleston, Eeq , who upon the organization of the meeting address- 00 it as follows:— Gentl+men of the New York Clearing House Association and Friends—I am perfectly aware that this Association was establithed exclusively fur businers purposes. At the same time there may be occasions when it may not be improper to step aside for a moment fiom our usual routine, and refisct on life as connected with death and eternity. The last time that we were assembled in this room, 1 placed betore you a letter that I had just received trom Mr. George Curtis, ia which he, in consequence of dectining health, tendered his Pa mtn As a member of an smportart committee of which he was chair- and after some discussion the letter was laid on the table, with the hope that he would again be able to resome his position. A few Gays subsequent I was at the pier from which the Southern buats depart, and 1 there saw him on the ¢ve of seaving, with the hope that relaxation from busi- ness, and the benefit of a more genial climate would sgain restore nim to health and usefulness. But, alas! ou reaching his destination be gradually declined in health, and, as you are aware, exmred. Yes, on the dis- tant banks ot the St. John’s, he breatned his last, By strangers honored, And by strangers mourned. Not many days since, as is my daily babit, I was again at the pier; and observing that a heavy case was being lanced, Iwas tod that it contained ali the earthly re- alps of Mr. Curtis, The sensation it produced on my wird I can ‘cely describe; and I more forcibly re- minded that ‘in the midst of Mfe we are in death,’’ In ‘the ceath of Mr. Curtis this association has sur tained a {oss which it will be difficult to fill, and ror one I deeply regret that we should so coon be deprived of his sound yudgment, hie profound krowledge and eloquent and persuasive lan- eveze. He took « deep and abiding interest in this aseo- ciacion, and labored hard to bring it to {ts present atate of perfection, He once remarkea to me ‘that asa labor taving machine alone, it was of the greatest importance. It was not only uoportant in that particular, but it woald tend to place the banking institutions of our city on a ‘firm and solid foandetion, against which the echemes of wild and reckless banking would diseppear.’’ ‘Cand,” said he, “our example will be followed by all the large cities ot the Union Gentiemen, I will not detain you longer. In the death of Mr. Curtis we have sustained a great loss, and | am versuaded that this association sympathizes most sia- cerely with his afflicted wife aud fatherless children, who mourn the lors ofa most talented and farthful pro- tector The following resolutions were then adopted unant- meualy -— Resolved, That this} association kas heard with extreme ra- ret of the Cecease of their fellow memner the late George Curtis, Keq . and while they lament the charm created in thetr is vy bia death, they also deeply deplore the loss to the of alngh minded acd talented citizes, aud ty his an affectionate father and friend. ed, Thos & copy ef the foremtc *.

Skene reom THe Parent Orvice.—We have received sevo- ral packages of foreign grain and seeds from the Patent Office, at Washington, and have distribute! them in the Proper quarter. One of the packages contained a sample of Syrian spring wheat, which was obtained by the United States dragoman directly from the farm of Abraham, at the foot of Mount Carmel, in the Holy land. The chief merit of this grain is presumed to be its eariy maturity, it ripening in sixty days after sowing, which is nuch ear- lier than any spring wheat grown io this latitude. No- thirg is said on the accompanying label as to ita produc- tiveness, which can only be ascertained by trial, Toe Derry is of medium size, light or cream colored, and o moderate weight, and no doubt will produce very good flour, It may prove # valuable acquisition to our ce- reals, We also received a px of Spanish spring wheat, (7rigo Candcal,) raid to pos in ninety days— being thirty days longer in reaching maturity than the Syrian. Ite quality is about the same as the Syrian. Both kinds aze inferior in size and plumpness of berry to our winter wheat. The remaining contain samples of Chinese sugar cane, Valencia melons, emperor peas, white flint corn, lentils, &c., &e. We have n0 means of ase whether this variety of the sugar cone will grow in tois latitude. Were it to do so, it might enable us to grow our own 51 to nome exient. The directions state that it should be cultivated in a man- rer similar to that pursued in the culture of broom corn. Proper directions ehould accompany every package of fo- reign seeds, giving the source trom whence derived, the latitude, topography, climate, &c. This course would save the agricuiturist much trouble, and ensure beuef- cial results. Much valaable time and much seed are now Icst from want of accurate directions as to cultu: &e. Itis hoped the Patent Office will not neglect to f nish the requisi‘e information in future.

Captain ANDERSON was heart!ly cheered, and responded as follows :— Sin—Injaccepting this tokenjof respect, thro OU, om behalf of many vaiued hepa nl present, an filled with emotions which it is my misfortune vo be unable to utter. I thank you for the compliment thus bestowed, and for the kind and flattering terms in which you have conveyed to we this testimonial of your regard and good will for the success of the cause of humanity, in which I have been so recently engaged. and to which I am still devoted. You will doubticsa yt me, gentlemen, to Say something avout Central America, and especially of the republic of Nicaragua, which General Walker aad his troops, aided by the native popular party of that and country, now cecupy. You are aware that of Nicarsgua bas for seve-al years been disturbed ‘aud broken by internal {etrifes and revolutions, by which the commerce and industry of the country were para- lyzed, people murdered and towns destroyed. It was conflict letween the native democretic party on the oue side, and the native aristocratic party om the other. The Gemosratic party of the country 7 to General Walker to aid them in puiting down the tyrant apirit of oppression which was then exerted over tnem by the aristecratis party, and to come to the rescus of liberal principles, and eitablish a free. independent, liberal gow ernment. That appeal was not made in vain. General Walker, with his fifty-six brave followers, came to the rescue, They entered the country in face of the combined forces of oppression, and bave succeeded in establishing peace in that once troubled land. It were idle for me to attempt to portray to you the many inel- dents which occurred during that brief but memorable campaign. I will leave that for others more competent for the task. History and truth will vindicate the merits and the honor of that achievement. Suffice it to vay that Gen. Walker and his party are now fully and safely established in the country—peace and democracy reign triumphant, and the people at large ate once mare at rest from tatertine beotla. A new President and Cabingt are now in power, and are raped go and paler as such by the public at large. [cannot omit, sir, to recommend young and enterprising men to visit that beautiful country, and make for themselves and their fut families homes such as, perhaps, no other part of the earth can bear a comparison. the cli- mate is balmy and co as a May morning—the pro- ducts rich, various andjebundant—nothing, in fact, seems to be wanting to conduce to the and prosperity cmon. I again thank you, alt, and the gentlemen pee tent, for the honor you have conferred upon me, Captain Anderson took his seat amid prolonged cheer- ing. The sword is one of Ames’ best pieces of work, of the United States infantry pattern.

Smith, the principal witness on the part of the prosecu! was recalled to the stand, and subjected to a rigid crs examination by Mr. Brady. The facts eH- cited did not differ materially from the published report of the former trial. At the conclusion of Mr. Smith’s testimony the prosecution rested, and Mr. Busteed opened the care for the defence. His apeech was lengthy, able, eloquent, sarcastic and severe. He pitched iato the Fourierite organ on the corner of Spruce street con amore. He said it bad done more to dedauch the public mind, corrupt the public morals, and spread error, delusion, infidelity and irreligion broadcast over the land than ald other powers comained.
