Aubayy, March 21, 1858, Another bill for amending the New York city charter was presented this morning by Senator Petty. Its main provisions are, abolisaing the present B ard of Council- men, and.substituting therefor a council of fifzeea, which shall be the superior board, and eiested for two years. The city to be divided into fifteen Council districts, with out dividing any ward. The Board of Aldermen to consist ot the jsame number of members, to be denominated the imferior body, and hold office fur two years. Mr. Sickles moved, ond it was agreed to, that the several bills pro- posing to amend the charter be refered to the New York Senators. Mr. Sickles wirhed this dome for the purpose of having the views of mayor Wood expressed before the comumittee,jas the exorrieuce he has had under the present charter bas given him ample opportunity to teat 1t, and to propose sach altera'ions and + ddi'ions as in his opinicn will be for the weltare of the city. As the Aldermen and Councilmen have been heard, it is proper that the Mayor shouid also be afforded an opportunity to present his opinions. Mr. Spencer presented the report of the Commissioners of Kecords for the city of New York, in the nature ofa petition. They state they have made contracis for print- ing the indices to the conveyances recorded in the Re- gister’s office and the County Clerk’s office. They also bave bad the numerous valuable docum+nta and records in the offices ot the Register, Surrogate ani Conaty Clerk assorted, arranged and properly filed. There are ia the Surregate’s office 359 volumes of records witaout aay ia- dices except cf inventories and gosrdians’ sccounta. Ia the Register’s cflice 1,85 volumes, Svme o’ the original books of indices are in a very bad ste, and need recopying. Chatiel mortgages and other papers have been scattered about the ofic> with ut order or arrange- ment, and 127 are either lost or mislaia, Numoers of bocks ef conveyances are missing, and many waver of MAps are miatilated, x the latwr are the maps of Mu Loril'ard sad Sailors’ Snvg Harbor estates. Ove rian: map bas been wholls destroyed oy mice. They resomnend the repair- ing of some and tue copying of Others, and vo reolacs the jost cnes by copies from (hs origina: sarveys. Thay alao find that. during the years 1832, 1833 and 1834, ten vo- Juices of powers of attorney, sixty-four of mortgages, aad ninety-three yolumes of Couveyances were let. unsign- ec by the then Register; aa they wk the Legisleture to greut power to complete them. They further say that the indexes im this office are not to be depended upon, from omissions, and these mis- takes run back ‘o an eariy period. The papers in the County Clerk’s office are in an equally aeplorable condi- tion, and as this officer has cuurge of the recorda of tne former Mayor's courts, the county courts, the Common Pleas, the late Supreme Court, and tne late Court of Chancery, judgments in di! the courts, recognizances, Surregaie’s deccees, and decrees in equi'y, are required to be aceketted bi in order to bec me @ lisn on real estate, There are also filed in this office notices of /is pendens, Sheriff's cartifioates, in-olvanis’ assignments, col- Jectors’ boncs, and weeharios’ lous, Sach a condition of affairs, in’ these pubic offices certainly requires overhauling.

This 1s another tnsance where the Legisiarure is callad uoon to regulate affaira whier the city and county authori ies should themselves attend to There were majority aud minority * ports on the Breadway Ratlroad made to the House this morning. The former grapts the privilegs, bat tarowa it open to competition. The minority ix deci edly against the pro- ject. So it is expected that the Peter Shur stock jobbers ere defeated in their attempt to confirm aa old ordinance of the Common Ceunei! The questi may therefore be considered ec definite'y set-ied for the eessim, and per- bars forever. The ccmmittee having the organizing the judicie! aixt i have mide no report.

That, by common convent, not, omy of the city, but of the State, has been given’ to individusl ac- tion—not to the cortrol of railroad projestors. The propriety or necessity of estadhshing a rai'roed in this principal sud mos: beautiful streei of our greatest city Pas bem auscuseed before commi:iees of our Lagisla- ture for several years past, without ever baviog pro- duced # report in favor of the proposition, giving reasons for the estab ishment of a railroad, or ths necessity for {t, or any views which would Induca the opinion chat a railroad would afford the shghtest relief to the immense travel on that great thoroughfare. We, therefore, feel called upon to give a few facts upon the subject, to enab.e a judgment to be fermeiin respect to it. The character of poner. is well known to every member of the Legis! Desuty, ite great throng, ts spleacid stores, It noisy, busy bum, are atl suojects emark, aud ouly aliuded to tor the pur- g to mind the ciution whica should b cised in enacting avy jaw which, in its consequens might be pre; judicial ‘to the streat, or tend in any degree to redues it from 1's present condition, ‘Tze carriage way of the sireet, it was conceded, before us, ranges {rom thirty-six to ferty-two feet in’ widtn; the narrowest part of the street situated between the City Hal) Park and Battery being by far the most throrged, most in neei of relist, and acrows waich the traveling vehicles of all kinds, from the North, or Had son, to che East river, isso great as to produce the grea er part o' the interruption mow prevailing in that part of the street. It is manitest that this crcss travel will not only be not benefitted by s railroad in Broadway, baton the con- trary mnat be very much impeded by it, aud the question then remaining for our cetermination‘is, whetaer @ rail- road would be apy bevefit to the publis travel upon the line of Broadway. In the grant of the Common Council, which we are re- uested to confirm, ii ia provided tha’ a double track shall be iaid in the street, the outer rails twelve fest six inches ap This, added to the usual projections of the sides of the cars beyond the weeels, would require a space of fifteen feet, at least, in width, fa the centre of the street. With the carsin motion, as they would constantly be requised, a space of bu. ten feet ax inches would only remain, in some parts of the street, between the cars and the curbstone, for ali the otaer and numerous throng of stages acc all kin¢s of vehicles to pass and re- peas, and at no place upon the streat woula suc space eo in width fourtees fee’ bus, 1 no part of the s:zest would apace de Left suf ficent to enable two vehicles to pasa each other on either side of the cars, inasmuch aa all venioles wil average trom reven to eight feet in width On the hearing before our committes the counsel for arp argued that the taecry of the grantees was to the entire passenger travel on Broadway wih sixty-one cars, exch carrying sixty passeogers and drawn by two horses, at the rate of six miles an hour, and re- move ail the omnibuses from the street, to the numoer of about €00. The difficulty with this theory is, that it is in no sense practical. 1. It was stated before us, by thore opposed to this road, that the daily travel io stug:a in Broadway was upwards of 100,000. By those in favor of the amount was 8% at from 56 000/+0 75,000, ty provirg his aseertion by figures ani # tistics, evident- Jy to their individual satisfaction Now, whichever may be correct, we are convinced that the cixty-one cars would not be sufficient to carry the travel on the street, much less could they be drawn oy two horses, upon an vidinary stzee: grade, at ths rate of six miles an hour. 2. The omuibures, so far as we can ascertain would not be removed or affected in any wey by the estabiish- ment of this reilroad. By reference to chapter 142 0f the Laws of 1854, en titled ‘An Act to operate stage rouces in toe eity of New York, and to piovida for the forma:ton o* Compa pies to regulate the samo,” passed April 4, 1854, 16 will beseen that the several sape lines and routesin that city now existing have been vested in the owners thereof, and confirmed byj's¥, so (het they cannot be deprived of their vested rights therein, nor can tuey de terminated or altered but by a vote cf two-tbicds of a!lthe m bers eltcted to the Common Council of the city, and up- on compensation by the corporation of ‘he city of New York fir all Camages the :everal propsietors of thee stage tines may sustain by &) m or altera ion. Again, the grant or :erolution of tbe Common Coun: il which we are a-ked to contirm, and the law we ure re- quested to pass for tha: in no way or manner requires the exclusion of Pang pls tines on Brosdway, upon s railroad beirg ccnstruced there. Toerefore. on consicering this sutject, we niust necessarily assame that none of the preseat stages or vehicles now using the street would be removed or interfered wita, aod ihe vaked question is presented to us—-whether we will add to the present crowced #tate of Brosdway by authoriziag indi- viduals to construct in it & railroad, vo compeie for pas- sengers with the present stags nest To our minds there can be but one arswer to this question. But when we see that nota single petition or applica- tien has been presented by the people o: propsrty owners of the city io favor of this project to this Legislature, while, on the eentrary, it meets with an earpes: and ‘ition aud remonstrance frum what is claimed to be every owner but ore on the whole line of the street, from the Battery to Twenty-third street, and mary other citizens of the city, we eaano: understand why there should be any besi'ation in recommending yeur honorable body ty rrject this bill. But in other respects tue act proposed is improper, and shoud not receive your approval, and we briefly ifer unr reasora for this reeommensation, vii First. 1t ig ax interferezce with the jusict»l power of the State, setilng aside ivjunctioms ana fical judgments of our legis'ative courts, wherein presice our muse able judger, and autborizes a thing to be ¢ nour Su preme Court bas ceclared wonla be injurious to the pr perty owners on the street.

The Cholera--Sugar on the Rise—State of the Markets, dc. ‘Since my last advices, I amt happy to be enabled to re- port that the cholera has been gradually diminishing in sever:ty, and has been officially declared to have en'irely Gisappeared from St. John and some other towns in the island. Neither this place, Ponce mor Mayagues has been visited by the epidemic, and we trust we have on- tirely escaped. Very heavy transactions have recently taken place in this and other parts of the island, in sugar. some 20,- C00 bhds. have been taken for European account, said to be headed by the Rothchilds, in connection with an English or French houee, at var; from $4 50,to $6 50 100 Ibs. ; some nateeh uke ianse talen at Bet, 9 86°75. Many entire crops have been purchased ‘at these rates, of course much to ie ‘gratification i the pianters, who for twenty years have not figures tor their sugars, Molasses is in very active in- quiry at 20s., with an upward tendency, al hough vhe steamer Tennessee’s advices to the .6th, this morni received, are anytbing but favorable. It is ana here that stropg attempts are being made by ati ties in Europe for control over the sugar markets ei continent, and that very extensive ordérs were pole ry multanecusly to this island, Cuba, Brasil and other sugar countries, for purchases. Charters for the Unied States are dull, in consequence of the present high prices of produce last rates 40s. for sugar, and $350 for moan Hes. ‘The weather is highly faverable for ag om Fxobar ges dail, and 1d deeiin United States, 6a 7 per cent; sterling, 4°90 4 95, and 6% per cent; Krance; 8.a4 percest premium.

Goon Frmay Oxsxrvances.—Tho crucifixion of Christ was commemorated yesterday with solema rites in many ot the Roman Catholic and Episcopsiian churches. Good Friday is a fast, the mos: solemn and severest known to the Roman church. It received its name, according to Archbishop Whately, “from the blessed effects of our Saviour’s sufferings, which are the ground for all our joys, and from those uusprakable g.od thingy he hath yarchased for us by hiaceath.”’ In ‘heCatholic churches the ornaments were taken away trom the altar, and the pletures draped in black. The priests also wore blask vestments, and a!l conspired to convey an impression of gloom and solemnity. Next Sunday will be Eister, when the *‘ arisen Christ”? will be baued with rejoicinga. To- day is the last ot Paesion Week, ard on next Monday the fasbionable world will be free 10 do aa it pleases.

Ina box were found kuives, forks and large tin ladles, a number of tooth brushes end about 1,000 spoons. There were no handcuffs found: indeed, so perfest is the rystam by Which slaves are governed aboard these ships, that they are pow never ured. Marshals Nevins and De Angelis conducted the exawinaticn. As no owner has cisimed thia vessel she will cf course be confiscated to her cap- tors. It 15 estimated that ahe is worth from $8,000 to $10,000.
