Your Money or Your Life. ‘OUR TAXES AND OUR RULEKS—SIX MILLION OF 8TA- TUTE EXPENDITUKE—LESS THAN TWO MILLIONS BY ORDINANCE—GREAT BXTRAVAGANCR UNDER LEGIS- LATIVE CONTROL—SUBVERSION OF THK MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY—APPORTIONMENT AND REVIEW OF OUR CITY FINANCES. ‘The new city charter requires that the Comptroller ‘Shall publish, two months before each charter elec- tion, # statement of the receipts and expenditures of ‘the city revenues, for the year ending on the first of ‘the month in which such report is published. Nosuch zeport has appeared having relation to the approach- ing charter election, nor has the tax levy for 1858 been yet sent in to the City Council. The semi-annual report of the Comptroller, made up to the first of July dast, was presented on the 28th of September. From this and some items of the tax levy already estimated by the different State commissions, the aim may be met.of presenting to the voters for our next charter ‘ officers some of the leading fiscal facts which they should weigh on depositing their suffrages. It is specially at this election that a report, such as di- nected by the charter, would prove of the greatest , use. The peculiar exigencies of the times direct public attention towards our finances; and the semi-revolution which the encroachments 0 the State Legislature have worked in our city government requires more than on any previou: occasion, the exhibition of its practical results in th increase or decrease of our enormous taxes. Either this is the reason of the report being withheld, or the date investigation of the Comptroller's accounts has possibly reduced them ‘to such irreconcileable dis- order as to place it out of his power to make @ re- port at all. In the absence of the information which the charter directs to be provided for the people, it becomes the duty of the Herap to pro- vide the best substitute which the circumstances will permit, for the information of its readers. NEW YORK TAXES FOR KIGHT YEARS. For the past few years the Compiroie has point- ed out very diligently the rapid increase in the taxes of this city. Taking the period from 1850 to 1857, it will be seen by the following table that the expenditures which have been met by the annual fevies on real and personal property have increased more than 125 per cent. According to the Comptroller's reports, the annual tax and the increase for each year w: 1850—Whole amount of tuxes levied... ....$3,230,180 47 1851— Whole amount of taxes... 2)924,384 99 1852—Whole amount of taxes. . 3,378,835 08 Increase over 1850 148,154 61 1853—Whole amount of taxes. . 5,009,650 05 A Increase over 1850... 1,839,469 58 1854—Whole amount of taxes. . 4,841,255 54 Increase over 1850... 1,611,075 07 1855—Whole amount of taxes... 5,843,822 89 Increase over 1850... 2,613,642 42 1856—Whole amount of taxes... 7,075,425 72 Increase over 1850... 3,845,245 25 1867—Whole amount of taxes. . 8,066,566 52 Increase over 1850, Total increase over 1850. 14,898,972 Less decrease 1851 . BO5,795 48 Net increase since 1850. + 14,588,177 50 ‘Average annual increase 1s The estimates for 1858 will inevitably show a very considerable addition to this rate of expenditure. The last Legislature cut out some two millions of dollars in new jobs, and the estimates of the estab- lished Boards of State Commissioners show no let up in the pace which they have hitherto main- tained. The next year’s tax levy may therefore reach at least ten millions, under the present auspices and ey, by which it is controlled. It is conjectured that the damaging effect which such a set of budgets must have on the election now at hand has determined their being withheld until after the canvass. ‘WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?—WHO SQUANDERS THE CITY RRVENUES 7 In fact, the most vital point at stake in this elec- tion, is in regard to the responsibility for the in- creased expenditures of the above summary. It becomes a matter of individual interest to ont taxpayer to determine who it is that has doubl his taxes in peta ee ie omy # This he ma; learn at a glance by looking at the detailed appropri- ations for the year, as given in the C arene Manu- al. If he has ordinary familiarity with the workings of the city government, he will see that the bulk of the ditures are made under the direction of special State laws, or upon the requisition of State boards, beyond the control of the munici- authorities. This fact'was pointed out by the ptrolier in his report of 1856, where he elimi- nates those expenditures for which the Common Council and the Mayor can be held to no responsi- bility, as paring 20 restrictive power. Applying the game formula to a com) m of the inc! ex- nditure in 1657 over that of 1860, the most strik- resnit ix obtained. It exhibits the most glaring and intolerable of all the results of legislative en- croachment. Upward of $4,000,000 is shown to be fan increase of the outlay over and above the amounts expended for similar purposes eight years since. To lustrate this, the following details from the Comp- troler’s reports are presented in com) , show ng the increase for each appropriation. A few o the items are taken from the estimates made up for 1858:— CITY EXPENDITURES THROUGH STATE OFFICERS AND BY STATUTE REGULATIONS. 1860. 1857. Increases. City Schoo! tax, Police Commission Central Park Com. interest. Commissioners of Record . Salaries (not included abo Interest on bonds in a incr. carried out)... Proportion of arrears of Besides the above five and a half millions, pre other sums not included in this schedule, though subject to the same control. They are ments, not exhibiting any material variation amount from year to year; incidental sums, not to be Classed with the above regular annual budgets, fees, &c.; making altogether upwards of six millions of the taxes on the real aud personal property of the ity. . Y SoMoIrAL KXPENDITURE—THK CITY BUDGRT. The balance of the year’s taxes is of course charge- able to the current expense of what survives of the Tounicipal government. Out of the two millions re- maining a lon; — of petty items are met, and the Common Counc Wj nrg to squabble about them as they see fit. Street Commissioner's de- rtment and that of the City Inspector, comprisin, he opening, paving, repairing, cleani an lighting streets; the care and expense of public buildings, police stations and engine houses; cost of Fire Department, public grounds, sewers, docks and slips, markets, printing and stationery, public celebrations, &c., are all stowed away in these two millions. ‘The Mayor's salary is $3,000, and the salaries and other office contingencies $12,000. THE WHOLE IN A NUTSHELL. The whole fiscal question resolves iteelf, tl h the above classification, into this simple and signifl- at cant statement of the matter:— Whole amount of y taxes... and expende officials, « « 6,000,000 Amount ord expended by the municipal ‘authorities, less than 2 The increase of taxes now over those of 1860. Chargeable to Sate jents and State 4,020,544 824,701 OUR DUPLICATE CITY GOVERNMENT—ITS RISK, CHAR- ACTER AND RESULTS. To arrive at a division of those portions of the city revenues ordered to be expended by Legislative direction, as distinct from expenditares originating with the city ordinances and the municipal officers, it ia necessary to examine the various amendments to the city charter and the voluminous acts of the Ley ture on the subject. é The session laws of the State exhibit a large body k of enactments, all tending rapidly to undermine the ocal government of the city. Since the amended charter, which was submitted for ratification at the Dallot box in 1849, the crowth of legislative assump tions has reached a complete dictatorial disrezard for the rights of the city. Neither the new charter of 1857, nor any of the previous encroachments of epecial acta, have heen presented for ratification to the people. The vehement protests of the city, from time to time, have been merely scouted. Year by year the several departments and the bulk of our expenditures have passed out of the legitimate ex- ecutive hands of the municipality into some newly instituted office, created by the State Legislature or appointed by the State Executive. An entire new system has thus grown up, presenting a dupli- cate execptive and administrative body, perfectly distinct and independent as regards any control of itsacts by the old municipal body, Piatoons commissioners haye now superseded the Mayor a ‘Common Council in every important duty and ex- Roistetive rs io city government. It a these ve delegations that the extravagant incregse in our city taxes is solely chargable. Kach Boards in its isolated independence, drives on, pell mell, with- a to the doings of the rest, or the slightest consi on of the extruordinary aggregate which they collectively accumulate. ‘The responsibility for this is shouldered onthe Mayor and Common \. - They are permitted to provide the money, and NEW YO so are assumed to have a responsible supervision. Let us see what that amounts to. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT: The Board of Ten Governors of the Almahouse send in their annual budget increased, as above, 100 per cent. It is pronounced extravagant by the city officials, and returned. Should a tw: vote of the Governors still endorse their own extravagance there is no further recourse, and the amount must be paid. Not a voucher is shown. Promiscuous eerchaaen sot sweeping piped are comprised in , providing ample opportunity for pro- fitable participation, on the i rt ihe Board and its host of attachés ; yet thereis no revision of vouchers outside the private session and log-rollings of the members. So also with the Board of Education. In 1860 the average attendance at the public schools Was 40,055, and the cost to the city $267,968. The management of this matter has since been consoli- dated under the Board of Education as a bureau of the Pepertment of Public Instruction of the State. The last census of average attendance (1806), 47,605, shows very little increase. The current budget of the Board is $1,126,013. Under the Police Commis- sioners the number and of salaries with the cost of reconstru the department will undoubt- ody exceed the million set against it in the schedule above. And what is the responsibility of the Mayor and Common Council for tl and all the rest of the channels under statute control? What if the attempt should be made to cut down and refuse the appropri- ations? Why the Ten Governors would turn loose upon our streets ten id papers, criminals, cripples and lunatics to sack the city. There would be no power in the camper “egy provide any other confinement for them. The “Board of Education would shut up the ward schools. There is no power in the city government to pearl substitutes, the Police Commissioners? Why they have already laughed to scorn the officers and poss ets of the city. General are and his forces could now, in- deed, seize the Mayor and the City Hall, and hold them till the Governor had removed the one and the Legislature cleared the other, by abolishing all that remains of Supervisors, Aldermen and Councilmen— several times. Police In mee. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN A HOUSE OF ILL FAME. Moses Stil resident of No. 162 Orange street, New- ark, New Jersey, met with sad misfortune while taking 4 peep at the elephant on Tuesday night. Ho was enticod into a house of ill fame, in Worth street, and while there he was robbed of a pocketbook containing $1,251. Two women living at No. 141 Worth street, named Anne Smith and Mary Purcell, were arrested by policeman Albin, of the Sixth ward, yesterday, on suspicion of having stolen the property.’” Against these women the complainant makes the following affidavit:— Moses Stiles, of No. 152 Orange street, Newark, New Jersey, being duly sworn, deposes and says—That on the night of the 24th Nov., he was robbed of a pocket book, containing the following property, to wit: Bank notes of various denominations, on the Newark Bapk and Niagara River Bank, amounting to...... A check on the Newark Bank, drawn by Jas. E. $170 Bathgate, for. ae 666 A promissory note, drawn by Mr. Bond, for 275 A promissory note, drawn by James Bird, for. 88 ‘A promissory note, drawn by Mr. Corly, for... 67 ‘A promissory note, drawn by Benjamin Bower, fo 40 A promissory note, drawn by Harris Smith, for... 45 Total amonnt........ $1051 ‘That he has cause to suspect, and does suspect that the same was stolen by Mary Purcell and Anne Smith, for the reuson that deponent was met in the street by Mary Pur- cell, who took him into the house of said Anne Smith, No.'141 Worth street; that deponent went into a room up stairs where he saw Anne; that he sat upon a bed while Anne sat beside him on a chair, and began to fondie Lim; that he staid about fifteen minutes, during which time Anne went out of the room to get a bill changed; that he had the pocketbook in an inside vest pocket; that he took it out and gave said Anne # Dill to get exchanged; and that afterwards, when he got into the street, he missed the pocketbook, and found that it had been etolen. The prisoners were brought before Justice Osborn, at the Lower Police Court, where they were commiteed for trial, Mary Purcell, in her examination, says:—1 am 16 years of age, reside at 141 Worth street and am, aay pation a prostitute; I know nothing at all about had the money when he left the house; lam notguilty. The other prisoner, Anne Smith, says:—Iam 20 years of age, am a native of Ireland, reside at No. 141 Worth street andam by occupation & servant; I am not guilty of the chargo preferred against me. No t of the stolen property has been recovered, but it is likely that much of it may yet be restored to its owner. COAT FANCIERS IN CUSTODY> John Dunn was taken into custody by policoman Mur- phy, of the Twenty-second ward, on a charge of stealing a dress coat from Betsey Elsas. The prisoner, it is al- leged, went into the store of the complainant in company with three other men, and cailed for a dress coat. Mra. Elsas furnished him with one, when the prisoner put it on and then ran off, leaving his old coat behind him as an equivalent for the new one. The accused was found at his ing house with the stolen property upon his person. ‘On Wednesday night Barney Carr took a fancy to the overcoat of a gentleman named Elias Combs, and as the latter was walking up Seventh avenue with the aforesaid article of clothing dangling on his shoulders, Barney came behind him and sna the property from its ownor. Policernan Murphy, of the Twenty-second ward police, caught Mr. Carr and locked him up in the station house to answer the charge of highway robbery. CHASED BY GARROTERA. Mr. J. W. MoClure, on Wednesday evening, was visiting at a house in Thirty seventh street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, and left for home about haif- past nine, the night being, as will be remem bered, fa bright moonlight one, He had not left the house but a few moments, and before he reached Fifth avenue when a man stepped out from some new buildings, and peering into bis face said, ‘It's a pleasant evening, sir.’ He shrank back, when immediately another man jumped out of the shade and confronted him, and the first man caught hold of bis coat, Thinking discretion was the better part of valor, and having no arms, Mr. MeClure jerked away, and ran as fast as he could, and he thinks much faster than he ever did before, down to Fifth ave- nue, being closely pursued by the villains, one of whom had’ an instrument resembling «jimmy in'his hand. He was buta few paces behind when Mr. McClure reached the stage, and not a policeman was to be seen. Mr. Me- Cluro took refuge in the stage and fortunately escaped. Army Enlistment. HRADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, ‘New York, Nov. 24, 1867. Sik—The General in-Chief’s attention has been called to the paragraph in the Henan of Sunday, stating that a youth named Thomas Murphy, who pleaded guilty to au Attempt at grand larceny, bad been remanded by the Judge to givethe parent of the youth an opportunity to procure his enlistment in the army, and I am instructed by the General to direct that you give orders t the seve- ral recruiting officers in this city and neighborhood to be careful, in making recruits, not to receive the man in estion. b Should he be received by the recruiting officers through mistake, you will immediately reject him on bis arrival on the island, I bave the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, IRVIN’ MoDOWELL, Assistant Adjutant General Mason A. Capy, 6th Infantry, Superintendent General R. S., Fort Columbus, N. Y. Marine Court. Before Hon Judge Thompson. RIGHTS OF MARRIKD WOMEN. Catharine Sebring vs. Daniel L. Sturgis.—This action is brought to recover $500, the value of certain articles of household furniture sold and delivered by the plaintiif to the defendant in June last. At the time the articles were originally purchased by the plaintiff, and at the time of the sale of the same to the defendant, she was a married woman, living and cohabiting with ber husband, The original purchase was made with money earned by the jaintif® in keeping a boarding house during coverture. e plaintiff claims that such earnings became her sole and separate property, by virtue of the act of 1848, ro- lating to the separate rights of married women; that she | * possessed the legal power to purchase the property in | question and sell it as if she were a femme sole. Upon this | state of facta, the defendant moved for a dismi: of the complaint. : By the Court—From the numerous actions of this kind which have been commenced in this and other courts, | since the passage of the act of 1948, it would seem | that an opinion prevails in some quarters that by | virtue of that act, the earnings of a femme courerte, during coverture, become her separate ‘property, and conse: quently not subject to the disposal of her husband, nor liable for his debts, How such an inference can be drawn from the statute it is dificult to understand. The tan guage of the act is as follows:—sec. 65. “ The real and persotal property of any female who may hereafter marry, and which she shall own at the time of marriage, and the rents, issues and profits thereof, shall not be sub- ject to the disposal of her husband, nor be liable for his debts, and shall continue her sole and separate Fhe et as if Bhe wore a single female.” Sec. 67. “ Any married female may take, by inheritance, or by gift, grant, devise oe bequest, from any person other than her husband, and hold to her 4 separate use, and convey and de- vise real and pers property, and any interest or estate therein, and the rents, issues and profits thereof, in the same manner and with like effect as if she were unmar. ried, amd the same shall not be subject to the disposal of Her husband, nor lable for bis debts.” (2B. 8. S31.) “At common law, the husbana, upon marriage, becomes entitied to all the goods and chattels of the wite, and to all sums of money which she earns by her skill and labor; and these he bas absolutely in his own right,and not in hers.” (7 How, Pr. B. 106; 2 Kent Com. , 130,2Barb.,, 352.) It was not the intention of the Legisiature to infringe the marital rights of the husband by permitting the wife to acquire a separate estate by exercise of her Jabor or skill during coverture, and Place it beyond his control, The right of the husband to the time, the business talents, the her kill and labor, is founded on the most obvious principles of public policy. Nor would a civilized public sentiment tolerate the sligttt eat interference with right. The statute of 1848 in no way affects the matrimonial privileges of the husband se cured him by the common law, except in the few partion. lars therein named, and those exceptions are not at all in. consistent with any principle of sonnd policy. In thie case the plaintiff purchased the articles in euit with the profits of her earnings during overture, Such earnings belong to her hushand. She cannot, therefore, maintain this ac- tion, The ty should be treated as the husband's, and ‘che ne bia agent tn selling it. Judgment for tha de. fondant. RK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, (857, Country Produce and the Middlemen. ‘TO THE RDITOR OF THE HERALD. Nov. 25, 1857. Having paid much attention to the causes of the general and increasing distress among the working classes of this city, and also the various remedies propounded for alleviating it, I was pleased to ‘see in your paper of Tuesday last, that a petition had been presented to the Board of Aldermen, signed by James Gordon Bennett, J. E. Cooley and others, praying that Tompkins market be thrown open for the free use of the farmers. This is hitting the right nail on the head. Of course the plan is too practical and common-sensical to meet with the approval of the Tribune philosophers, and will be fought against tooth and nail, by the stockjobbing organs of Wall street—‘‘for by that craft do they live.” It is one of the redeeming features of the tism of the Emperor of the French, that he has vetoed the forestallers of the Parisian markets from ee of the faces of the poor.” 1 trust that the Aldermen will lose no time in putting your petition into operation, as it cannot meet with serious opposition from any class of our fellow citi- zens, ona the men who stand between the ducers and the consumers, and while depriving the former of their legitimate profits, extort from the latter such enormous gains as to make the cost of living in New York beyond that of almost any other city in the world. They are the veritable drones in our hive; men, who, the of Mayor Wood's much abused message, “get all and produce nothing.” Pray keep this subject well ventilated in the Hixaup, for the behoof of the really suffering and industrious classes. Yours, truly, Anti-Monorontst. Our Washington Correspondence. Wasuinaton, Nov. 24, 1857. A Rare Specimen of Grecian Art. Charles 8. Spence, Esq, of Baltimore, who has been travelling for several years past in the Kast, and who his recently returned, with the Persian treaty ratification, procured during his stay there a most beautiful and rare specimen of Grecian art. He presented it to-day to Gene- ral Cass, and by him tobe presonted to the Smithsonian Institution. General Cass sent it to the President to-day and it was examined by the members of the Cabinet. It con- sists of a “classical bouquet,’’ designed by Miss Elizaboth Contaxaki, a native of Crete. The work was undertaken by that lady as a contribution to the Universal Exhibition at Paris in 1855, that showed worthy of the ancient city of Minerva, and show to the lovers of art and the friends of Greece, that her children were not insensible to the glory that once attached to her name, nor incapable of appreciating those monuments of art, science and litera- ture which still survive. Miss Contaxaki, the sole origi- nator and authoress, assisted in its execution by native Greeks, received a diploma from the French Commission for its originality of design and artistic beauty of fuish; and, though frequently urged by the Queen of Greece to part with it for the Museum of Athens, preferred to pre- sent it to the Smithsonian Institution of the United States, for whose people and free institutions she has an up. bounded admiration. The case which preserves the book ig about one foot and a half square, made of the olive wood of Greece, highly polished and elaboratel; carved. The book is larger than a quarto, containing 1 pages, and bound in dark blue velvet, richly embroidered in silver. The ornamental album is a collection of illus trations of the principal places and monuments of Greece, | exquisitely painted, explained by classic quotations from ancient Greek authors in the original langugage, beautifully illustrated, whilst occasional quotations fcom the best French and English writers are inserted. Many of the page are appropriately ornamented with symbolic border de- | signs, taken from avcient coias and inspriptions,and toadd to the harmonyvof the whole, flowers culled from the very , spot have been tastefully arranged upon them, showing that nature still pours forth her blossoms in classic Greece us in the days of Socrates, Plato and Thephrastus. Miss Contrexaki, the sole originator, is a native of Crete and is a lady of rare worth and accomplishmonts and an ardent admirer ofAmerica. Theatrical and Musical Affairs.

Abbatueci, Minister of Justice, who ix the Afth minivter that has fallen a vietim sine 1861 to his sense of duty, has caused a goneral feeling of regret. The four ministers who pre ed him to the tomb were M. Bineau, Finance; M. Ducos, Marine; Marshal St. Arnaud, War; and M. Fortoul, Public Instruction. M. Abbatucci was ‘born in 1792, ai Zicavo, in Corsica, and was couse quently in his 66th year. He was nephew of Gen. Charles Abbatucei, killed at Hupingen in 1792. In June, 1830, the deceased minister was elected deputy for Corsica. After the revolution he was named President of one of the courts of law at Orleans, and afterwards formed part of the op- position in the Chamber of Deputies under the government of Louis Philippe. After the revolution of February he was elocted deputy at Orleans, and. he represented that city at the Constitnent and Legislative Assemblies. After thé 2d December M. Abbatuce! formed part of the Consul- tative Commission, and on the 22d January, 1852, was nominated Minister of Justice. He had been Senator mber, 1862, and Grand Crows of the Legion of December, 1855. The deceased leaves three sons; of whom Charles, the eldest, is Chef de Cabinet at the Ministry of Justice; Severin, the second, is member of the legistative body; and Antome, the youngest, is lieu tenant-colonel of the 52d regiment of the line.

Prosentations, to doa great injustice to those by whose efforts the engines of that ship have beon brought to their present perfection, and we trust that you will allow us to correct the erroneous impression which you have, no doubt unintentionally, made. You say that ‘‘it will be recotlected that a sanguine pa- | tontee of a cut off was allowed to tinker at the ship for a | long while, and ti sily his entire work was thrown aside and Mr, Allen substituted his own cut offand valve connec tions”? A statemont substantially similar to this, made upon the authority of the Novelty Works, was published in anothor city paper of the 22d of Uctober, and contradicted by us in that journal of tho 31st, and we supposed that no attempt to repeat so silly 4 falsehood would have been made. Thero is nota word of truth in the whole matter, as you will find if you ask the chief engineer of the Col i line to authorize you over his own name to sustain charge. ‘The facts are these: Mr. Allon, the porson alluded to inthe Hxkaw of the 16th, as’ a relation of Brown Brothers & Co., attempted to put into the Adriatic a valve » cut-off and condenser, made according to his of what those things ought to bo, Tho cut-off was an attempt to evade the Sickels’ patent, and the condenser an attempt to evade the Sewall pateat, the object being to obtain the benetit of those points by a change inform. The difliculty was Wat Mr. Alleu did not know what was the valuabie thing in those patents, and he only apprepriated what would not work. With all the intentions which any man could have to take the benciit of the ideas of the inventors without compensation, he wanted the knowledge to make a proper selection, and the consequence was, after “tinkering” at the things for several months at great cost, the valve gear, cut-off and condenser were complete failures, and wore totally con- demned, Mr. Pireson was then omployed to construct the Pirsson condensers, which he has done, and whatever merit there is in them is due to his invention, and he ought to have the credit. The engineering of the valves and cut-off, however, was retained by Mr. Allen for soveral months, during which time the ‘“sagacity ef the Novel ty Works” was exercised to invent a yalye gear which could be applied to those engines; but no inspi Tation came, and the company at list handed over the engines to us, unconditionally, to invent and apply a valve gear and ‘cut-off, having first failed in ap attempt to induce us to co-operate with Mr. Allen. That we did; and the cut off which is now impudently and falsely claimed to be Mr. Allen's, is a Siakels’ cut off, contrived by us, and built at the Allaire Works, under the superintendence of Mr. Winship, without any interfereace or participation of Mr. Allen or any other person wiaat ever; and the plans on which it was coustructed wore not known to him or to any other person except our drafts. men till they were allin progress of construction in the shops. Thatcut off and valye gear, if properly adjusted, as we said ip our letter of the 31st, will make the engines work better than any osciliators in New York, and the con- densers wiil, no doubt, do ail that is promised for them by Mr. Pirsson; but no partof those results belong to Mr, Allen Tho engines, exe these particulars, are like other oscil Jators ; but th pumps are operated by excentrics, and it is a serious question whether that plan is reliable. We are informed (although we do not know it) that upon the trial trip these excentrics were heated by the enormous friction; and we do know that Mr. Davison, one of the eminent engineers of the Novelty Works, has’ openly. de. clared that this plan will not work. It was very easy te have worked these pumps from the crank pias in the usual way, but the Novelty Works refused that or an in dependent engine, and made the present boteh. Our connection with the Adriatic was one of ex. | treme difficulty. We had just come out of a controversy | in the courts with the Novelty Works, which had resulted In the total destruction of the inflated bubble ef reputation which that concern had puffed up by newspaper pa. Tagraphs and similiar means, to enormous proportions; and of course we were cordially hated by the whole con. | cern with which we had to co-operate, ‘The engines were given to us from necessity, and not from choice, nor until the Collins company had waited in vain for four mouths, Like Mr. Macawber, for ‘something to turn up" in the hesdsof the “eminent engineers” at the Novelty Works, which would look like a practical valve ‘gear for those en gines. And we were surrounded by employés of Mr. Allen, who were forced upon us by the company to do our work on the engines against our remonstrance, and who did all they could to make us fail. But in spite of all this wo succecded, and the engines had steam on the 3d of October before they were adjusted, and worked so well that Mr. Collins expressed himself perfect. ly satisfied with them, and openly declared that their guccess was “cold comfort to Mr. Allen;’’ and no doubt it was. But whata state of things was that where success was cold comfort to the chiefengineer of the linc, whose shop was deriving the profit from the work cone, After this trial,on the 3d of October, and while we were engaged in getting ready for sea—which would have been accomplished by the 14th of October at the farthest—the company, all at once, yielded to the presenre which the Novelty Works applied, and on the 6th broke our contract and dismissed us from the ship, on the pretence that they were informed that our “link ino- tion” would not work at sea; and the engines were doli- vered to Mr. Allen tocomplete. Mr. Allen atonce decided to send the ship to sea in ten days, by substituting for our “link motion’ a “locomotive link,’’ and using all the rest of our arrangements; and the company publicly avowed this determination. One small difficulty stood in the way | of the plan they decided to adopt, which was that it could | not work unless two sides of a triangle are no longer than the third side; but to the Novelty Works this diffleulty seemed trifling, and they attacked it like heroes. For @ dead man, old Fuclid made a good defence of his princi. ples—the Novelty Works coming off second best in the fight, which listed about a week ; and we have picasure in announcing that this’ very important principle of mathematics, thus attacked, may yet be considered safe, although it seemed in great danger at the time, with Novelty works for assailants. Beaten | in this very brave attempt on Euclid, nothing was left but to restore our link motion, or to mutilate | the engines by removing the hand gear we had made and substituting oue which required five weeks to con- struct, and which has materially impaired the value of the engines and the ship. They adopted the latter course, and the ship bas at last made that trip, employing the identical cut-off and valve gear we constructed for run- ning the engines, but using their plan of hand gear for | starting and stopping; and whatever of success there is in | those engines depends upon the valve gear and cut-off we made, and which cannot be improved in that machine. Our plan of hand gear was such that a boy of ten years, of or- dinary intelligence, could work both engines, and rogulate the cut-off without’ moving out of one place. Now the Novelty Works have so improved it that it requires two men of skill and practice to start ber, and in regalating the cut-off the operator must go to each engine by itself down below. Which is the better and more efficieut way weare willing to submit to Mr. Collins bimseif, uow that he has seen both work; and as we are about to start,auother ship with the same plan of hand gear which was removed from the Adriatic to gratify Mr. A\ we will give engineers generally an opportunity to decide the same question. This is a short st ent of the cage, and you will ace how desperate and is the attempt to deprive as of the credit of saving the engines of the Adriatic from total lows, » reports as those we now notice. into print’ about this mat. ‘atrial of the quostion of pourts; but we cannot permit such state: ments, so industriously made and repeated, to pass unan. swered, lest our silence should be construed by the pub- lie into acquiescence DICKERSON & SICKELS, 56 Wall street.

Wall street and the Stock Exchange were nearly deserted to-day. Occasionally a bull or a bear wookd make his appearence, emerging from some cellar or { dark, dismal looking office, look about for a moment | to see if there was any one disposed to make an — operation, long or short, and then disappear. No | transactions were made establishing new prices or | confirming the old. The liberal extracts in our ‘columns from London papers, regarding the financia and commercial revulsion of England and the Conti- nent of Europe, have no doubt been carefully read | and digested by financiers and speculators, and we | shall probably see upon the opening of the market the result of their deliberations and conclusions. There are doubtless many whowill not only take a favorable view of our foreign advices, but will be dis posed to act accordingly. We trust their movements will be limited in extent and amount. The news is far from being good for any commercial interest in any part of the world. The finances of the two great leading nations of the earth are totally deranged, and it is utterly impossible that anything but dis- aster and distress can come out of it. The suspen- sion of specie payment by a great banking institution isanevent fraught with consequences of the most alarming character. A suspension is always the result of a long and severe financial pressure, and the change is calculated for the moment to produce re- lief, but it is only imaginary. It is more in the mind than in fact, and the relief only lasts until people be- gin to realize that, if anything, really a worse condi- tion of affairs exists. A short time generally suffices to open their eyes to the fact, and then they see in the future a long period of prostration, depression, stagnation and general depletion.

In the United States and in Great Britain we have at this moment a paper standard of value. We have a cur- rency that can be expanded at pleasure to an un- limited extent. There is now no regulator but the discretion of the public, and the course of things is, therefore, just as likely to move one way as the other. The most desperate class of speculators will undoubtedly make every effort to extend their opera- tions, regardless of the effect upon the rest of the community, while the more cautious and conserva- tive portion of the public will contract their operations, economise in their expenditures, liquidate their indebtedness, and place them- selvea in a position to stand the shock that must come when these great banking institu- tions of the world resume specie payments. We another and more terrible revulsion will pass over the financial and commercial classes when a resump- tion takes place, no matter how distant the day may | be. An expansion in credits, in business,or in | prices, during the suspension, will only make mat- ters worse upon the resumption, and this important | fact should be constantly borue in mind. ‘The Bank, | of England and the banks of this city must act in unison, and sustain each other in any new move ment made. Our position is decidedly the strongest, and is likely to increase in strength, The operations | of trade, both in this country and throughout Eu- rope, must be much restricted, and a long period of stagnation and inactivity follow. Through sucha process only can we reach again a healthy position The Order in Council suspending the Bank act sti pulates that the rate of interest shall not be re- duced below ten per cent. This shows that the government does not intend that the bank shall ex- pand in the least; and there is much wisdom in the | measure. It is the only way to avoid evils. of | this great magnitude, and to prevent the estab- | lishment of an order of things that would | put of to an indefinite period a general resumption of specie payments. The banks of this city have not expanded since their sus | pension, but on the contrary have steadily contracted, and will no doubt keep on in that course. They can- | not do otherwise. Their own safety is in so doing, and self-preservation is a pretty good regulator. The result of this policy on the part of our banks | and the Bank of England cannot easily be mistaken. Before the close of the winter we shall see @ dulness and a depression in business affairs generally such as has not been | known since 1841 and 1842. We cannot move our | crops through the old channels, and it takes time to form new ones. Our crops of wheat and corn have been shut up in the granaries of the West, in conse- quynce of the difficulty of finding safe channels | through which to move them. The cotton crop of the South is kept back from the shipping ports by | the distrust of planters and the loss of confidence in factors. The supplies of our staple exports which | have already reached ports for shipment, are arrested | at these ports’by the difficulty of finding responsi- ble parties as consignees on the other side. This is | bo the trouble, and it will bea long time before new parties will be able to take a position to command public confidence and credit, and restore the ope- | rations of commerce to the usual channels. To ex pect that we can arise at once from the present de- rangement and depression and pat forth a new and better credit system than before isted, with the banks under suspension the community generally either publicly or privately bankrupt, is to expect impossibilities and look for that which cannot be realized. The process of recovery to be healthy must be gradual, and above all things to be free from a rela The Boston Post, of the A meeting of th ing at the Clearing P secretary. postponed entered into betw the receiving of at the Clearing cent of thar present to the Clearing House ( &@ meeting at an early day pent | mio MISCRLLAN KOU. — FOR © CENTS ART SLDRST RINE a Worth, $1 ava Ne, 66 and 63 Foltom sees, $1 FOR © CENTS, m RICH VELVET VESTS, st article for dressing, beautifying, cleansing, curling, pre serving and restoring the hair, Undies, try it Sold by ail druggisis.
