THE PROPOSITION TO REMOVE THE LANDINGS UP TOWN— DISCUr BION OF THE PROPOSITION BEFORE A SPROLAL COMMITTEE OF THE ALDERMEN: ‘The special committee, Alderman Steers, Chairman, of the Board of Aldermen, to whom was referred « resolution directing the removal of the landings of the various North and East river escamboats to places further up their re- spective rivera, met yesterday at 2 P. M., im the Gity Library, City Hall. The resolution directs the landing of the North river steamboatg at or above Canal street, and the Fast river steamboats at or above Grand street. A large number of proprietors of different steamboat lines and others interested im the subject under consideration ‘were present at the meeting, ‘The Crarnman stated that the committee wore ready to hear the statements of par\ies present either for or against the removal of the landings of the North river and Sound steamboat lines from their present wharfs. Mr. R. FE. Lockwoop, of the Stonington line of steamers, submitted a remonstrance to the proposed removal, signed A over 1,500 owners of steamboats, shipowners, mor- chants, cartmen and others, whose interests would be ef- feoted by the remeval. The gronnds against the removal, as alleged by the remonstrarts, ure that the interests of every class of business would be seriously interfered with, apd merchants and freighters bei ineonve- pience thereby; tat the daily receipt and delivery of freights by merchante to and from all these lines would be upnecesearily retarded, and the expense attending the eame considerably increased; that the transit of mercban- dise for the South and Weet throogh the city would involve additional charge and delay; thet the streets ‘whieh these goods paes or cross would be inconvenieat crowded; that the accommodation aflorded by ali the dif- ferent transportation lines comtng into one neighborhood, ‘as at present, would be sacrificed, and, consequently, trade generally would be embarrassed, and in some measure di- verted the city. It was stated further that the pro- poeed change is notcalled for by any reason or interest entitled to weight. Mr. lockwood stated that other ro- monstrances are being circulated, and that any needed number of eignatares could be obtained to them. The trance being received, Mr. Ixaao Newrow, ‘ictor of the People’s Line of steamers, appoared be- the committee. He opposed the resolution. Hb iid that the removal of the AJbany boats up town, as called for by the reeolatim, would be a most serious detriment to the proprietors of steamboat lines at running on the Hudson river.

Mr, Newrom, resuming, said ho had been in the steam- boat business thirty-five years, from the ume that a wheel- barrow load ‘cargo, up to the present almont incalculable weight of merebandise taken in a steamboat. Upon his line they formerly depended groatly upon car tying passengers for their profits. Now they depended wmost entirely upon freight. The amount of freight they carried bad cighty per cent They were now obliged to compete with the Erie, the New Jersey Central and Hadeon River ’ Railroads. If the steamboats were compelled to land up town he bo. lieved the effect would be to drive trade to other cities, besides baving a deleterions effect upon the price of pro perty adjaceent to nt landings. Ex Alderman Keuy spoke at some length touching tne report referred to of the Harbor Commissioners. He thought spy one would bave to stultify himnseif to give thetr recommendations credit relative to proper steamboat landings for New York. Their seievtiic research he deemed worthy of con-ideration, but he insisted thai they had no judgmert or facts on thoir side. Capt. Jony Bsooxe, of the Bridgeport line, said that the removal of the landing place of weir boate would destroy their business entirely. A fow years ago, when it wat onder consideration to remove the landing? of the Sound boats t Pike street, they changed their landing to the foot of Market rirert, but it ved rich an injury to their business that thoy were obliged to return to their former and present place. A change bow ap town would reeult in complete ditaster to their bustnew. It would cost more to curt goods from an up town landing down town than the freight charged on the steam*oat.

The public offices of the Gty Hall, the courts and chambers of the law buildings People passing or standing under stoops or going in the conveyances, the merchant, the mechanic, every class and connection of persons seemed occupied more or less with the subject, This is a great end and the main end of jonrnalism.

If such power is takon away there is no executive left, and with the paralysis or remo. val of executive power it is equally clear that there is no government, in the sengo of a free government, left. If the Declaration of Independence had resultea in & govern- ment which would have reserved the commend of the army and navy and the preservation of the peace in the hands of King’ George IIL, it is obvious that every othor detail of national government in the United States, how- ever elaborate, would have been reduced to a more farce. These attributes, as embodied in the President of who United States, are cesential to the existence of any govern- ment at all. ‘Had such powers even been reserved to the States and more allowed to the federal government, it is clear that Congress and the national government would at once be reduced to a mere hyo | society. ‘This axiom with respect to the federal government ta true in a hke degree with respect to every internal State, county and chartered city within its domain The Presi- dent cannot usurp the executive attributes of a Governor of a State, por can Governor infringe those of the elected executive heads of the subdivisions or corporations of @ Ptate.

In ever: it of an ‘pen: deut principle of gevernment this jemaseniation of the executive reduces the validily of municipal acts to & mere declaratory tor, a it leaves them costitute of any engine of force by whieh they ean be made compulsory. If the city government has no actual executive chartered original right to enforce its acts by constraint of arms or police, then does it stand before the community ax lame in the attributes of a government aw any city debating society, or any sort of a contrivance for drafting legislative scheme without the remotest power of ix own to enforce them. It ie opon this point that the present action of the Mayor ia bared, and upon it the forthcoming decisions of the courts will turn. The assumption that a Supreme Court of the State of New York will decide that any projection of fovernment can be asserted under our laws and constitu ion, which sball be destitate of the original inherent power to execute its ordinances by its own executive offi. gers, would be to assume that thaljoourt itself could conront to transact its executive functions throagh a United Staton marsbal, aa having no rightof shoriffor constable itaeit to enforce its deci iona, Lp thie bearing of the new Police bill ts its comatitutionnlity,involved, and whatever boodless prece- dents msy be cited, tortured [n Paradox, This aseumpuon of the State to carry out ite own executive power iy independent police of ite own \« Goubtiers an wet of its sovereignty which it is - sary Ww question; bat that right it the contingency that the expense is and that it mua: be paid from od continues a Mayor.

THE METROPOLITAN POLICE IN BROOKLYN. Nothing of importance in relation tothe police transpired since Tuesday morning.
