The Clerk was about to read the minutes, when Super- visor Clancy submitted that the Board was not properly constituted without either the Mayor or the Recorder, and that the meeting could not endorse the minates, refer papers, or transact any other business in theic ce. i esa ruled that the meeting was properly con- stituted. re mapeerioce Ciancy appealed from the decision of the air. Superviror Barker spoke in favor of sustaining the de- cision of the chair, cont that tne presence of the Mayor and Recorder, or either of them, was mot ne- omer, exoept for the tax levy on the second Tuesday in nly. Supervisor Tucker thought that all the difficulties which bad impeded the business of the Board had teen removed, but it appears they have got on avother rock now. He hoped the chair would be and that the business should be with, The question being put, the chair was sustained by a vote of 12 to4. \ The minutes were then read and a) ‘The bills of the Assessors, and several of to the respective committees.

Alderman FULMER also opposed the measure as a reok- lees expenditure of public money, which would cost the city between thirty and forty thousand dollars. Alderman Voorus opposed the project, becanse he be- Meved that such jobs were to lead his young friend, Joe Teylor, into difficuries. Alderman Varian said, the proposition made to renum- ber the streets wen a base swindle, to give a dangerous ee lege to the Street Commissioner and provi ie {at jobs for his friends. Alderman TucKER slro opposed the project. Alderman Fox was im favor of it. On the vote being taken, the ma'ter was referred back to the committee, Reports —The report of the Finance Committee con- curring with the Councilmea, to remit tax sgainst the New York Society Library, was lost, reconsidered and Isid on the table. The report o: the Committee on Streets, concurring to have buildings on the line of Canal atreet extension removed, was concurred in. ‘HE CENTRAL PARK—=THE MAYOR AND MR, TAYLOR APPOINTED COMMIBSIONERA. Alderman Heerick moved to take from the table the ordinance making the Mayor and Street Commissioner a Beard of Commissioners for the control of laying out, re- gulating, &c., the Centrat Park. Carried. The ordinance, which comes from the Councilmen, gives the Commissioners entire control ia the maaage- ment of ones and the employment of all persons ne- for that project. Alcermap TuckER moved to amend by subs‘ituting five C-mmiesionerr, and named ex-Mayor Ha er, Orison Blunt and others as men qualified for the porition. * The Meyor and Street Commissioner had enough of publio busines to attend to, and he did not see way the city could not get a beard of honorable men to manage the Central Park free of expense. The motion to name three additional Commissioners was lost, by a vote of 12 to 7:— Nays.—Messra, Corwiu, Healy, Clancy, Fox, Griffiths, Steers. Jackson, Moneghan, Valentine, Herrick, ,McCon- key. Varian—12. Ayrs —Messrs. Brown, Tucker, Voorhis, Briggs, the President, Fulmer, Ely—7. Alderman Voortis moved to strike out the second sec- tion, which gave the Commissioners such unlimited wer. Pome moticn was lost by a similar vote. It was then moved to refer the matter to the Commit. tee on Orcinances, Aldermen Former spoke sgainst the ordinance, as a rascally jcb to rob the city. It would tnvolve an ex. penditare of $500,000, and there was rascality at the bottom of it. Aldermen Tucker and Voorhis also opposed the ordi- nance, The previous question was moved by Alderman JAck- SON, The question en the adoption of the ordinance was then put and carried, by the same vote—12 to 7. EX-PRESIDENT FILLMORE, A resojution from the Councilmen, appropriating $1,000 to entertain ex-President Fillmore on his return to this city from Europe, was read, but having only parsed the other Board this evening it was objected to by Alderman Voorhis, and ruled out of order by the Chair. It was deferred. THE CITY CHAMBERLAIN. A communication was received from the Mayor, nomi- nating A. V, Stout, President of the Shoe and Leather Bank, as City Chamberlain, in the room of the late Robert Kelly. Alderman Voornis moved its reference, which was lost. ga | then, on motion, laid on the Rata then adjourned to Wednesday next, at 5 o’cleck. BOARD OF COUNCILMEN. The Board met last evening at the usual hour; Presi. dent Pinckney in the chair. Councilman Barney called up the resolutton tendering the hospitalities of the city to Millard Fillmore on his arrival from Europe, and moved that $1,000 be appro- priated for that purpose, Councilman Swan opposed the appropriation of money for such @ purpore, first, because he considered Mr. Fill- more above anythirg of the kind, and secondly, because his friends would give him a spontaneous tion far more imposing and gratifying to his feelings than any which money could purchase. Councilman Baryry said he was oppased to the appro- priation in the case of Mr. Buchanan, put it was uader- stood, st the time that passed, that the same sum should be appropriated for the reception of Mr. Fillmore. Councilman BRowN moved to amend, by appropriating $1,600 instead of $1,000. Lost. e motion of Councilman Barxsy was then put and carried, by a vote of 45to2. Adjourned. Fire Department, MEETING OF THE BOARD OF FOREMEN AND ENGI- NEERS. A special meeting of the members comprising this board was held last evening at the new Firemen’s Hall, Mercer street, Mr. A. Carson, the President, in the chair, The special object of the meeting was announced by the Chairman to be to nominate candidates engineers to be elected in the Firt and Second fire districts, in compliance with recent ordinance of the Common Council. The Board proceeded to ballot for candidates, when tne follow- ivg received the highest number of votes, and were de- cared the nominees: — First District—G. J. Rush, Evgine Co, No. 7; Thomas Maxwell, Engine Co. No. 37. Second DistrictmJohn Brice, Hose Oo. No. 42; David S, Baker, Engine Co. No. 15. Som cosen other Ltr bb tehd resented alto- gether. Subsequent to the nom! ions, it was arranged fo bave the olection take place at, tho Houses of the Ye. tious companies, on Friday, the 23d instanr, bet ween 5 und 7 P. M., and the inspectors to meet the next evening, at the office of the Chief Engineer, to canvass the re- turns. Messrs, 8. Burnham, Je., of Hore Co. No, 24; She. pard F. Knapp, of Engine Co, No. 27; Chester Mitehel, of Hook and Lacder Co. No. 2, and J, Smith, of Engine Co, No. 87, were choren inspectors. Some miscel!ancous business preceded the above. The only matter, however, of special interest to the Fire Department was the adoption of a resolution protesting against the new form of avnus! return of the different fire companies, submitted by the Chiet Engineer to the Common Couneil for adoption.

At the Acapumy or Music we had last night Le Grange as Lucia, one of her finest efforts; and, of course, fully eppreciated by a large audience. On Wednesday we are to have Verdi’s ‘Louise Miller,” with a strong cast. Of course there wil bea full house. As we shall have no operaat all afier the next two weeks, it behooves all lovers of one of the highest forms of art to look after their seats early. At Bourron’s Tuxatre Miss Agnes Robertson, a apright- Jy and sparkling actress in soudrefes, commenced aa engagement for six nights, playing two parts, (which we bave already noticed,) to a full house, proving New York will not forget one of its prettiest pets. At WALLAck’s THEaTER the veteram manager, who does nat by any means lag superfluous om the stage, played Martin Heywood, in the ‘Rent Day,” toa crowded house. The performance, as we said last yeer, was one of the most perfect in every respect ever given in this city, Mr. Wallack is without a rival in Martin, and Mrs, Hoey’s performance of Rachel 1s capital. As the sporting wen ray, it just suits her book. This Mr. Wal- lack takes bis benefit, and bows farewell to-his friends for this season. This series of performances deserves a re- cord: — Mr. Wallatk commenced, on 2th March, with Benedict, im *‘duch Ado About No’ »” which he played 4 times, tollowed by Shylocg, ia “Mershant of Venice,”. 6 Jaques, in ‘As You Like It’ fs Dazzle, ip “Iondon Assurance’ + Era:mus Bookworm, in ‘The Sobv lar”? ‘The Stranger... seesetens Duke Aranza, in the ‘Honey Moon’ Jolisn St, Pierre, in “The Wi'e’’..

His benefit to-night completes the series of fifty, when he will play Erasmus Bockworm, in “The Scholar,” and Martiv Heywood, in “Tne Rent Day.’’ At Lavra Keew’s Variemes “The Marble Heart’? was played for the twenly-third time, and ‘‘My Wite’a Mir- ror,” for the ninth time. The house was full, At the Broapway Tuxarre, the first performance of the ‘Female Forty Thieves” drew a large and appreci- a ive audience. The piece, as may be inferred from the title, is burlesque upon the Arabian Nights’ story of the Forty Thieves, and it is exceedingly well done ia every respect; wel! got up and well mounted. Mra, Barney Wilhamns is a most gallant Hasserac, and her lieutenant, Miss Manners, brought down the admiration of the house. Barney Williams’ Irish version of Musta- pha was very clever. The piece will be repeated this evening. if you desire to epend a pleasant hour, go and see it. At the Bowgry TaxkAtre, @ romantic spectacle, entitles the “Devil's Elixir, or the Shadowless Man,” was pre- sented, for the frat time, Inst night, The piese is founded upon a legend common to the superstitious districts of Germany, where the evil one is made to pisy all sorts of pranks upon a Capuchin (Mr, Prior), in revenge for punishment inflicted upon him by St. Anthony. The De- mon of the Elixir transforme the holy friar into a lover, and makes him pay the most delicate attentions toa lady, who is already betrothed to his brother, Hermo- gen. The conclusion of the play is by far the best part of it. The demon is de’eated by the interference of holy spirits, the Capuchin {a restored to the order of priest- hood, his brother, Hermogen (Mr. Dunn), is married to his affianced, the Lady Amelia (Mrs, Prior), and ae the curtain falls the penitent monk pronounces his bene- diction upon the happy pair. The acting throughout the piece was quite tolerable, but the machinery and scenery did not seem to please tue audience much, However, on the first representation of spectacie like the above, many drawbacks in the movement of the machinery and ecenery might be expected. The house was well filled, and all preaent seemed particularly delighted with the “ Devil's Evixir,” or, at least, the representation of it @e produced under the manegement of Mr. Waldron. This evening Mrs. Griffiths takes her benefit. Three pieces are announced for the occasion, namely, “Th Devil's Elixir,” “Paul Pry,” and the “Jew and the Doc tor.’”’ It is expected that Mrs. Griffiths’ friends will give her a bumper in real earnest. tomer wdr ama 5 Personal Intelligence, Among the passengers for California today, by the George Law, will be Dr, Hsyne, Miss Julia Dean Heyne and Mr. Charles Pope.

In reference to the above arrivals, the New Orleans Picayune says :—The departure of so many of the Ministers from the republic at the same time—the Sardinian Minister, it will be recollected, came over on the last trip of the ‘Texas—may seem to give color to the report that some mis bet ween the diplomatic corps aod the iment, but we find nothing to corroborate such on fabenens.

The latter trade bes been of recent origin, and has been brought sbvut by ocean steamers and telegraphs, Samples of car- goes shipped to Liverpool, or rather foreign ports, are sent to this olty from Southera towns by steamers, and are sold in some cases two and three times over before the vessel with the cotton reaches Liverpool, thus giving increared activity to trade, By naving a wide range of s.mp'es ia New York, foreign gents oan as readily select parcels to fill oréers bere, aw though they were in New Urleans or Mobile, and that ata timeof the year, perhaps, when the existenoe of rellow fever might e it bazardous for them to go South. ‘fhe chief business in cotton operations is cone by brokers, of whom there are seventeen in this city. They all act ‘as both buying and selling brokers, at well understood rates of eommission. Hitherto they have beea chiefly Jooated in and abvut Wall street, but since the dry goods jobbers have left Pear! street tor the west side of the town many of them have concentrated in this street, and just south of Wall, Several firms bave quit Wall street Yor Pearl the present spring. ‘The whole of the seren- teen are now concentrated within a block or two of each other, viz.:—in Pearl, Hanover and Wall.

Smaturox on THe New1y ARRIVED SurPs.—The ship ‘Webster, Captain Lawvence, consigned to Spoff »rd, Tiles. ton & Co., arrived at Quarantine on the 18th inst, from Liverpool, making the passage in thirty-six da; had on board 767 steerage paseengers. Buring the last days of the passage smallpox broke out on board. One person having the disease died, and was buried at sea, and six were sent to the Marine Ete after their arrival, Tne Health Officer has ordered the whole num- ber of paesengers to be thoroughly vaccinated and sent on shore at Quarantine for the purpose of cleansing and ventilation.

For the honor of justice, the coriection of error, and for the promulgation of truth, I hope you will give the following communication a piace in your columns. Since my late arrival in the United States my atten- tion has repeatedly been called to « letter published in the New York Trilune, purporting to be trom a special correspondent of that paper, and dated Castillo Rapids, April 10, and printed im the issue of the 30th of the same month, But I was unable until yesterday to see the ar- ticle containing the libellous letter, and I hasten at the carliest moment to give an unqualified denial to every as- sertion or insinuation contained in or implied by it. It is an anceniabie fact that Mr. Horace Greeiey sets himself up as a paragon of moral excellence and political purity, with an air of conceited immacuisteness unsurpassed in the let eighteen centuries, and abuses the power that cbance has (brown in his way to assail or oruah those he dislikes,,and x0 feed bia ridiculous but insatiable vanity. ‘The letter alluced to, for which the evlitors of the Yribunz are responsible, after indulging in the most slanderous and infamous personal gossip against me, says:— He was in the habit, when here, of getti d mince Soma Temas oes maser aad sons curious in these maiters can buy his signature here cheap.

For some time past the daily journals have teemed with complimentary notices of Dr. Kane's exertions in behalf of Arctic exploration. This is undoubtedly de. served, and is no more than a just reward of the fortitude and perseverance displayed by the doctor in his arduous enterprise. ButI would ask, where are the officers and crew who sbared his toils and underwent an equal risk in the service of science and humanity? It is most certain that the assistance of subordinates was necessary to the accomplishment cf this bold undertaking; but many of the public prints seem to ignore this, and suffer them to remain in that obscurity which is usually the lot of un- pretending merit. From the short official account of this voyage which hasbeen slready published, I gather that several of these officers and men not only risked, but Jost, their lives; while others suffered the amputation of various members, and all of them were more or less in- jured in their general health; and for all these iejuries, and all there belt is this band tft ne to eae recompenre? So far as mere praise is concerned, probably maxes little difference; to the truiy noble mi: the applause of the crowd is not At to be meas against the honest price of accomplished duty. Several days since it was announced that an appropria- tion had parsed the House of Reprerentatives for the pur- chase of itteen thousand copies of Dr. Kane’s new work, and at the same time it was stated that his profits on this appropriation would scarcely Lion tony ‘the doc- tor’s toiln end Purge This appropriation is right enough; but isit right that they who suffered equal toils end hardships should be almost overlooked in the reward such a liberal and art-cherishing government as our own, usualy bestows upon her enterprising sons? These re- marke are elicited by the cifferent treatment received from Congress by the expe: ition under Lieut. De Haven, and that headed by Dr. Kane. ‘The first of these, upon their return from a voyage which was not so prot: were voted double pay— while nothing of the kind has yet been mentioned as re- gards the latier.

I have now to occupy seins of your plona momenta over law. Every wees brisgs forth something new. The object seems tobe to keep the people busy in wonder as to what next will happee, until even & revolution will no longer be exciting enowgis for this population. The changes are so sudden, so start- ling, and a0 radical, that it seems to me, im order to let you understand them, I ought to write you a history im- stead of a letter. I will try, however, to deseride things in as few words as possible. The great difficulty which the present reform adminis- tration has to contend with, comsists in the habits of the People, created by the old Spanish organic laws of Memi- 0, Among these the principal obstacle they have to bat- Ne egainet is the old corporate system, whieh is diffused through all classes of society, and which very sensibly weakens or destroys the naticnal spirit, Whether it was by design, or from acccidental causes, the civil state of cld Spain bad a marked tendency to create corporations, to heap upon them privileges and exemptions from the common law, and to enrich them by donations and lega- cies; to confer upon them whatever was essential te the forming of perfect bodies in their spirit, complete in their organization, {adependent by their peculiar laws (fueres privilejiades). Some of these bodies possessed more pm- vileges than others, but still they all had sufficient for the purposes of each. Not only had the clergy and the waiitary their general fweros, but they wore ‘sub divided into those of the friars and nuns among the first, and thove of the artillery, engineers and marines among the second, Toe Inquisition alse, the University, the Mint, the Marquisat of the valley or entate of Cortes, the primegenitures, the fraternities, ans even down to private firms, had their privileges and ex clusive property: having in fact a separaie existevce from the rest of the people. You may well imag °« how things were in consequence complicated—alike ts .at to the national spirit, to community of interest, to ini vidual independence or personal liberty, to order in the judistary G soacotiv anata teatioe, to the | nativaal wealth and prosperity, and to public tranquillity, We writer, thirty years since, declared that it tbe tavate tions im Spain eae had not taken place, in a ahort time no one would have oalled himself « Mexican, aa be would have been isolated by that title, but would have claimed to be a lswyer, or canon; even a lay brothe- would bave been «wre respectable, since that desigca- tion conveyed an idea of nomething more positive; fur him to have discoursed upon nations! interesta would have been to Greek. Hence al- most every person of any etanding was ® member of some body claiming some peculiar privilegss. To ua- ravel these laws—to urderstand them, and to one with another—was an imposibility for the judges. ‘The claim of privilege was constantly made. both in civil and criminal cases, until nearly all jurisdiction was takem away from the publio tribunals. Consequently, the ordi- nary juria¢iction, which {s that of the nation at large, lost ali consideration and respect, ‘ince all cogaizanoe was taken from 1t of causes of litigation that were of the least importance, Thus a'l judicial order was diverted, and even the names of the institutions; ordinary jaris- diction became the exception, and the exceptions became the ordinary. In Jegislation other difficulties arose, ax it was impcenible to make any new laws without infringing on some fuero of ome corporation, wetchful, wealthy and able to de’eat apy innovation on prit 4 The Spanish government at last became sensible of thie vicious policy, and many fueros wereaboliabed. But un- til the constitution of 1812 enough remained to create im- terminable ocnfusion in business. That constitution abol- ished all privileces except those of the clergy and military, which tock effect in Mexisn in 1820, when it was pi for the second time. From that time the corporate spirit romewhat Ceciined, but fucros were still proserved, and habits crested under the old dispensation of absolute pane left still subsisting two powerful classes separated diasppesced, ns vel en the Indian ommend (be bio), |, as well as communi the lawyers’ associations, the merchants, &., rine: gevitures, the ionumeradle others of profeesions, per- fons, Corporations and offices. But the clergy and milf- tary remained with their fueros. The universities, the cosleges of the brotherhoods and other bodies, which, although without privileges, retained thelr oid organiaa- ions to make war on the new order of things, The clergy stili had their tribunals in all the vigor of the middle ages, taking ccguizance of all subjecta im which the property of the church was concerned, or the members or persons of the clergy were parties; criminal and civil jurisdiction over all people in manner in holy ordevs, or monks or nups fees wary they had all that jurisdiction over civil causes which belongs to courts eonatituted to dispose of litigation growing out of marriages, births, deaths, inheritance, ‘wills, intestacies, divorces, &.

The rae of the military were no less extensive for evil than those of the clergy. They had their owm courts, and at all times were exempt from the jurisdic- tion of the ordinary tribunals. No matter what wrong or outrage they might es no redress was to be had unless a superior might punish, where, per- haps, he had ordered the act to be done.

This decree or law was dra: up by Senor Juarez, the Minister of Justice, and isknown as the law of Juarez, As this measure was one of those acts which, by the plan of Ayutla, must be submitted te Congress for approbation, it was accordingly laid before that body, which is ‘now in session.
