The report of the Committee on the East and North River Steamboat Landings was called from the table. ‘Alderman Srxexs moved the adoption of the majority ‘Alderman Wrrsox hoped the minority report would bo He said the proposed removal of the landings was an outrage on the commercial community, and he Doped the measure never would be adopted. The move- ment was made by a few owners of sunken lots on the outskirts of the city, with a view to enhance the value of their own grounds. ‘He was convinced that the proposed change was illegal and that there was no necessity for it. He admitted ‘that the ferry boat managers were careless, ‘Dut the larger steamers navigated the river with safety; @ few narrow escapes had occurred, but there had been no necident resulting in loss of life. As to the removal of fhe landings being the means of relieving the streets in ‘the lower part of the city, he did not believe it; such a change would create confusion, because the freighte would have to be carted to the lower part of the sity, where the principal stores were jocated. Alderman Gontended in a long argument that there was no good reason assigned for the removal of these steamboat land- ings. He moved that the matter be laid over till the second meeting in December. “Alderman StKens urged the majority report, and con- tended that the large steamers were not so easily managed ‘on the crowded portion of the river as the ferry boats, ‘and that it would be to the advantage of the shipping ommunity to have the landings removed up town. ‘Alderman Bucxt, in opposing the report for the re- moval of the steamboat landings, said it was more than Congress could do, and he did not think that this Board should attempt any such thing. There was no law which could prevent passengers from landing at sy pier on the river, except where the Legislature had set certain wharves apart for tow boats. There was no law to pre ‘vent any steamer from landing her passengers and goods fat any pier What was unoccupied, and the Common Council ‘could not compel steamboat owners to remove from piers and slips of whieh they bad a lease, The only way the Common Council could remove the steamboat landings was to tear down the gates and piers, but according to the ordinances the piers were highways, and traffic on them could not be stopped. Large buildings were erected on the piers by men who had leases of them, Such exclu- sive rights should not be given, and if the Common Coun- did their duty there would be no necessity for the re- amoval of the steamboat landings. He would yote for the minority report ‘Alderman Baxta spoke in favor of the majority report, and thought that the city had power over these piers. He thought as far as the North river was concerned here was a necessity for remoying the steamboat land- tage; a great deal of the produce brought by these steam- ers had to be removed up town, and it would save ime end expense to have some of the landings in the upper part of the city. Alderman Haris, ene of the committee, opposed the moving of the landings, as contrary to law and as not re- quired by necessity. Whenever ihe people find it for their interest to remove the landings it will be time enough to do so. He would vote for the minority report. jerman TUCKER advocated the movement of the land- ings up own, and if this Commén Council did not pass the Feport to do so, he was satistied that the next Board would. He bad seen the crowded state of the lower part of the city, occasioned by the traffic from these steam- Boats, and the time had come when the business pecessi- ties of the city required the change in the landings which ie eugcested and advocated by the majority report. It will give all the relief to Broadway that is required, and be hoped the majority report would be adopted. Alderman W: moved that the whole matter lay over until the second mecting in December. Motion to Jay over was lost by a vote of 10 to 7. “Alderman CLANCY, who vacated the chair, eaid he sup- posed that with the rity report w Xception of one oF two-objections the have been adopted. The power iow Council had been questioned ‘and a great variety of opinions bad been given, as to the water righis of the city. He went on at great length Jo give a history of the city charters, and sontended that the Common Conneil had control over this very matter under their consideration; the city of New York had power to give these meamboate privilege Jand at these piers, and if they bad the power to grant they had the power to repeal; the Common Counci! never dies, and this body, as the successor of the Common Coun cil whieh granted the privilege, had the power to re peal it. He (Alderman Ciancy)’ than argued that the . Femoval of these landings up town, would not be disadvantageous to business of the lower section at the city. It was impossible to calculate the ndvantages that would aecrue to the whole city by the q unity that would be thus afforded to the extension 4 its commerce, insteag'of confining it now to a ‘spent ap ‘Wties”’ of @ certain portion of the metropolis; and if it be to the advantage of the city of New York that the removal of these steamboat landings should be accemplisbed, the ‘Common Council, in obedience to its laws, should not op- pose it. He contended that it would be a great public Suuvenience, and as such, he supported it; coutending at ‘the same ume that the Common Council had the un doubted right to control te steamboat owners in wis r, Alderman Bucwt again submitted his idea that the Board had neither the right to grant or take away the ex- _ elusive privilege of the use of the piers. “Alderman Wiisos moved that all the papers connected ‘with this matter, not heretofore printed, be printed in deoument form. Akierman TvckER i the matter would be acted “mpon this evening. and itshould not be delayed by waiting for the printing of the documents. Necessity de- ‘mmanded that these landings should be moved up town. motion to print was lost.

Mr. Joxes presented @ memorial of the Women’s Pro- tection Emigration Society, which stated thatthere were vast numbers of unemployed workingwomen in this city at the present time, who were in a state of extreme desti- tution and would be compelled to suffer still more before the winter season was over; that there were hundreds of honest and pure women who were anxious to leave the city but unable to do so; and that the interests of the city would be subserved by an appropriation of $3,000, to be used for the establishment and support of a temporary home for the extremely destitute and friendless and in for- ‘warding the plan of their immediate emigration westward. The petition was referred to the Committee on Finance. ‘THE FOUNTAIN IN THE FARK.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE STREET COMMISSIONER. A-communication was received from D. D. Conover in reply toa resolution of the Board requesting an imme- diate report “if any work under contract or authorized to be done has been suspended, and for what reason.” Ho submitted two schedules, the first setting forth the con- tracts and the names of the contractors who had suspend- ed work, and the second the amount of work given out by the Street Department, He said that the time for its com- pletion had expired, although the work was still progres- sing very slowly. He notitied the surveyors and inspec- tors to report immediately the condition of the work under their charge, and any additional information which they transmitted would be given to the Common Council. ‘It was laid over. The Board then resolved itself into committee of the whole on the regular calendar, and recommended the pas- sage of a number of routine papers to a third reading. THE SUFFERING POOR. The Board concurred with the Aldermen in requesting the Governors of the Almshouse to take into immediate consideration the expediency of quickly organizing an effl- cient corps of outdoor visiters for the saffering poor, so that prompt relief may be afforded im al) cases where it may be needed. ‘On motion, the Board adjourned to Monday.

Bighth District.—The adjourned American Convention for the nomination of a candidate for Alderman in this district, met at the State House in Ludlow street, near Grand, last evening—H. K. Robinson, Esq., in the chair. Some considerable diseussion arose as to the propriety of admitting certain parties as d to the Convention, whom it was claimed by their on had withdrawn from the American councils some time since, and were not | at present members of the Order. Pending the dis cussion on this subject the Convention adjourned without proceeding to ballot, to meet at 187 Bowery, on Thursday evening, the 19th inst. LOUNCILMEN NOMINATIONS.

First District. — Convention met at 110 Greenwich street, and unanimously nominated Ste Second District.—In compliance with the recommenda- tion of Tammany Hall, the delegates in the Second Judi- cial District, (consisting of the Fourth, Sixth and Four- teenth wards,) met at the Sixth Ward Hotel, in Contre street, last evening. Quite a contest for the nomination occurred between Mr. Charter Sweeney, a well known democratic lawyer of the Fourteenth ward, and Mr. Bar tholomew O'Connor, the present incumbent; and although neither of these aspiring gentlemen were present, our re- 7 was informed by some one in the crowd that Mr. Meagher, who it appears is interested in Mr. ©'Connor y aeeeen wee invited to go down stairs in a manner quite un one occupying his position. Mr. Hi. H. Howard acted oo Coairaan on the ‘thformal hal jot Mr. Sweeney received nine votes and Jadge O'Connor fix. This result ecomed to take all parties by surprise, and the Convention broke up in general row, to meet, we believe, on Thursday evening next, at the same hour and place. Lively scenes may be expected unless some compromise ie-made. Fourth District.—The members of the Convention of the above district assembled at the corner of avenue A and Fourth street, and nominated Anthony Eikoff as Civil Jus- Ae There were two other candidates, who had three and one votes respectively, the remaining eleven beit for Mr. Eikoff, whose nomination was subsequently ro clared unanimous by the Convention.

He was |, from principle, to letting the abolitionists and black republicans vote down oon ree gee if they had a chaace. What 6 wanted to do openly; he was opposed to stabbing in the dark. ua He was followed by Morizy, of Riley county, who pitched into both reports. He denounced the propostion of the majority as a base atempt to swindle the people, and the min report as a high handed outrage. He said the Douglasites wanted to elip poison into free soilers’ cup, while the Atchisonites were for blowing out their brains openly, and that was all the difference be- ‘tween them on the slavery question. He then offered a Ragen pie aig Sed the whole constitution to all the ‘voters, with a proviso iring every voter to ewear to support this constitution, if it should be rati- fied, the Nebr: bill and the Fugitive Slave law. His substitute wastabled by a large majority. Col. Jenkrys, fugleman for the ultraisis, next spoke. He took the broad Southern democratic ground, and claimed that the Convention held the sovereignty, and should decide not to submit the constitution, or any part of it, to the people, He said the public good and the pro- per equilibrium between the free and slave States required that Kansas should come into the Union as a slave State. He knew it would be received if @ slave constitution was sent up to Washington. He said that he had read a letter from President Buchanan toa prominent member of the pro-slavery party in Kansas, to the effect that ‘the con- stitution would be received in the form as semt up by tho Convention.’ Next followed Wetts, of Douglas county, who was op- posed to both reports. Gen. Cauaoun, of Springfield, I!1., made a long speech in favor of the ‘majority report, and of only submitting the slavery clause to the people. He was opposed to giving the ‘Topekaites” a chance to ‘‘vote down our de- mocratic constitution.’’ The majority report would com- pel the abolitionists to vote for the constitution while they were voting down the slave clause, no matter how repugnant it might be to them. ‘‘In this way we have got them tight,”’ said he, ‘‘and they can’t helpthem- selves.”” There are several provisions in the body of the instrument which sufficiently protect slave property, which, with the Dred Scott decision, is all that Southern gentiemen should ask. By this means Kansas will come into the Union as a democratic State, like Ilinois, ‘A dozen other speeches were made. ‘The regular majority report was voted down by 25 to 17. A vote was then taken on the minority report, which provides for sending up the constitution to Congress with its pro-slavery clause, without submitting it to the people at all, which was lost—ayes 23, nays 25. ‘The Southern members then stormed and raged, and swore they would leave the Hall, never to come back. The Douglasites became alarmed. A motion to reconsider prevailed by ayes 28, nays 20. A motion was next made to table the minority report, which was lost on a tie vote —ayes 24, nays 24. The Southern members again stormed. ‘The final vote was then taken on the adoption of the slavery minority report, and resulted, ayes 26, nays 2 Carried. The wltras then followed up their victory tempting to put the whole Constitution upon its final pas. st After a flerce contest, the Convention adjourned at 3 5 hour to meet at9 A.M. Monday morning, Novem- r 9. * As the matter stood at adjournment, the fire caters achieved a signal triumph. A clause had been adopted in the constitution making Kansas forever a slave State, and this constitution was ordered to be sent to Congress with- out submission to the le in ba eer, not even in the swindling form proposed by the Douglasites. We await our next news from that quarter with impatience. The people of Kansas are in a ferment. An explosion may take place at any moment. An extra session of the Legis- lature ig talked of, and also general convention of the free State party, to decide upon the best policy to pursue in reference to the bogus pro-slavery constitution, The affairs of Kansas are yet far from L.

To fully understand the infernal ingenuity here displayed it is necessary to make some explanations. The ballots will be printed ‘“Consti- tution with the slavearticle.” If we yote we are thus compelled to vote for theconstitution. Whether we do or do not, the constitution will be regarded as ratified and went up to Congress to be received. It makes no di rence as to the prohibition of slavery in Kansas if t slave article is ratified or not. Slavery under the Dred Scott decesion and Silliman letter is regarded as existing already in the Territory, and this constitution being silent (should the slave article be stricken out) on the subject, will only give perfect license and free trade to the traffic in fleeh and blood. It not being regulated by law it will onjy come under the ‘al rights of property. This is the position assumed by General Cathoun and the Douglas wing of the Convention. As the executive has recognized this body as the legitimate framer of the constitution, and it is generally argnod by the democracy that the Conven- tion alone has a right to decide how and in what manner it shall be submitted, there can be no doubt oo our mind that it will be received. ‘The slave article is merely a regulation prohibiting the emancipation of slaves without the consent of their owa- ers, requiring them to be treated with humanity, &c., and its being voted down will not affect in the least the ques- tion of slavery in Kansas. ‘The report provides that there shall be no change in the constitution for a term of years, nor without a eS all legal ror It proviées s Tegency for temporary purposes, and takes the Presi- dent, Calhoun, the regent of Kansas.

Below we give particulars of these affairs, and describing the condition of the United States troops. The intelligence comes from the “Army of Utah’? direct:— (Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer. f Gince et Sra Wate, O68 18,1 7. An express bas just reached us from Grand river bring- ing news to us as unexpected ag it is important; and I avail myself of a haltto give you a succinct statement for the public. The Mormon problem is solved at last. ‘They bave seized upon the very first opportunity afforded them of perpetrating an act of war. the night of the 5th inst., about ten o’clock, they seized and destroyed seventy-eight heavily laden wagons, containing govern- ment supplies for the army. The wagons and teams were the pro} of Messrs. Russell & Waddle, contract- ors. ‘The trains were some forty miles distant from each ‘This es that there were more one com- intormant says that the notorious Angel,’’ Bill Hickman, commanded one, and eet Tocksmith the other party, of about eighty’ men each. One train of twenty-six wagons was destroyed sixty-one miles west of us, and the other, of fifty-two wagons was taken near Green river, thirty miles west of Colonel Alexander’s train, There were no soldiers with these trains, and the teamster offered no resistence. their docility in this respect, the Mormons gave them oue wagon and some provisions, with which to make their way back to the States, and ‘burnt the residue. They pro- fess to have between the Devil’s Gate on this river, and the Mormon Ford on Green river, seven hundred men under arms. On hearing of the loss of the troins, Colonel Alexander, who was encamped on Ham’s Fork, sent Captain Marcy with four hundred men back to Green river, and enabled the teamsters to collect their cattle and take them on to headquarters. He also sent_on a Frenchman to us. On the nextday thay ordered a Mr. Ficklin, of Captain Mac- Graw’s party, to return and not advance, and assured him that they had two men of McGraw’s party prisoners. These were men sent by McGraw on to Salt Lake to buy flour for his paaty. Our express brought in his mocassin an order from Captain Marcy, which I have been permitted to read, or- dering the train to halt until Colonel Smith came up. We have three or four trains, of twenty-six wagons each fup with Colonel Alexander—one a few miles in advance of us and two behind us, and the road is lined with mer- chants’ and sutlers’ goods for one hundred miles in onr rear. Col, Alexander has broken up his camp on Ham’s Fork and changed his course for the Bear river route, and we are expected to collect and guard these trains to his camp near Soda Springs, There is yet plenty of provisions for us until spring, except forage. We have no corn, hay or oats for our animals, and must rely upon grass. 'This the devil saints may burn, unless the snow prevents it, and then our mules can profit little by it. Our force, rank and file, is about sixty-five men; but I am informed the teamsters will be armed to-morrow with rifles, and made to stand guard over tneir train by night. Our expressman believes we shall have to fight for our trains in aday or two more, and it may be so, If attacked, Col. Smith will fight to the last. There will be no surrender. Col. Chap- ‘man, ab old veteran in war, Lieutenant Elwood and Kinsel and Judge Eckels, and Brown and Mr. McCormick, are with us, and will all use the rifle, if necessary. We shall do our duty, Will the people of the States do theirs? 1 believe they will send us men and supplies soon. Cali- frrnia could give us soldies even in winter. I think the Mormons. will attempt to emigrate in the spring to the Sandwich Islands or Vancouver. Let aclose look out be kept for them. ‘This is no camp news. Itis reliable, I believa. I re- gret [cannot write more particularly. No civil appointee except Morel, Postmaster, and Judge Eckels of Indiana, have come on thus far, as yet. When Gen. Harney and Gov. Cummings will come, no one knows. We shall go on tomorrow, come what may; and with or without orders, if any party attacks Col. Smith, ‘ou will hear a report of him and his gallant little dand. He wil ight. A letier from Fort Laramie, Oct, 22, says Brigham Young informed Col. Alexander, by express, that he must not advance further into the Territory. Col: Jobnson is collecting the trains all together at the South Pass to escort them in, The 2nd dragoons will be here tomorrow. ‘The St. Louis Republican of the 11th has the following:— Gol, Johneon wen last hears from two hundred and thir- ty miles beyond Fort Laramie, and snow was seven inches deep one hundred miles this side of where tho express had left him. Owing to the slim supply of corn and the entire absence of grasa the teams of the entire command and the horses of the 2d dragoons were failing rapidly. News bad reached Daramie that the Mormons bad burnt three government trains (seventy-five wagons) near Great river, ninety miles behind Col. Alexander's command (the 10th infantry), which constituted the vi d of ‘the army. It was rumored that the 10th and 6th infantry and the batteries of artilery would go over and take pos. session of a Mormon village on Boar river for winter quarters. It is said that the drogoons had a month's supply of corn, at half allowance, but not « particle of grass. With snow on the ground at that, it seems like madness for them to proceed beyond Laramie—certainly such a step could only be justified in view of the prospect of actual hostilities this winter. of which no one at tnis distance can judge. ne 3 ‘There was probably never before any portion of our army subjected to such privations, and to whom the fu- ture presents such a gloomy picture as is the case at pre- sent with the army for Utah. ‘We doubt If Col. Johnston will be able, when his whole farce is concentrated, to muster over one thousand men for duty. Such an army, so far from the base line, is wo smal to cope long with a vigorous resistance. Meeting for the Relief of the Poor of Wil- Mamsburg. A meeting of the citizens of the Eastern district was held last evening, at Washington Hall, corner of Fourth and South Seventh streets, to adopt measures for relieving the unemployed poor during the present winter. Owing, probably, to the unfavorable state of the weather, there were only about two hundred persons present ; and Mr. Joseph H. Adams was appointed seeretary. After some conversation, a motion was made and adopt- ed to appoint a committee (0 prepare a plan for effectually carrying out the objects of the meeting, and to report the same for action on Wednesday even! xt. George H. Andrews, Wm. H. Bulkley, Field and George C. Hoyt were appointed such committee. ‘The resolution to adjourn was then rescinded, and a dis- cussion aroee, and suggestions were made as to the most feasible pian of affording the contemplated relief. The Cuarmas said be did not consider that the object ‘was so much to assist those who annually call Loy the ‘Superintendents of the oor, but to assist those who have been reduced to want, perhaps for the first time, in conse- quence of the depression of the times, which had come on so sudden and unexpectedly. He supposed that it was the intention to appoint ward committees, whose duty it should dejo search out this class of persons, and make nls known. He said that this fall there were about 360 less female commuters at the ferry than formerly, owing un- doubtedly to their having been thrown out of employ- ment in New York. Mr. Groner H. Axprews said that they could not well present any plan of operations until it was known whether they were to have large or small means. He in vited all who had to make, to pat them in writing, and forward to Mr. Field for action of the committee; and he also proposed that the meeting re- solves themselves into a committee of the whole and solicit subscriptions to be handed in to the meeting on Wednesday evening. Mr. Watt announced that the Fifth district police (Thir- teenth and Fourteenth wards) bad sent ina subscription amounting to $75. ‘The was then adjournéd to Wednosday eve- ning, at which time the commitiee will present their report for relieving the poor, to be acted upon by the meeting.
