It appears by reference to tax roll of the Second ward for the year 1858, that the total amount assessed on the site occupied by the Brick Church and the buildings there- on, is hundred and ninety-three thousand dollars, wluch yields to the city in taxes, at the rate fixed in 1858, about $8,000, VAVEMENT OF CIATHAM STREET, THE BOWERY AND FOURTH AVENUE, ETC. Jn document No. 70 it was computed that the saving in putting down the 91,076 superficial yards of Belgian pave- ment, in leu of the Russ pavement, would be equal to $318,766; and if the several railroads paid their proportion Of the expense, according to the number of square yards embraced in their grants, the saving’to the city would be ‘$881 ,b62. In that estimate the Belgian pavement was computed at three dollars per superficial yard. The work was contracted for on the 224 day of July, 1856, and bas been completed by John Pettigrew at two dollars and nineteen cents per superficial yard. This will produce 4 saving to the taxpayers of the city oa the whole work of $402,400 52. The saving of $402,400 52 to the taxpayers on this con- tract is not the only gain which may fairly come in to the present comparison. The contract with Russ & Reid gave to them the old materjals—that is, the cobbie stone and the bridge stone—covering an area of 98,364 7-18 yards. The total value of the paving stone is equal to $6,825 3€—producing a total saving to the city, in the comparison between the Russ pavement and the Belgian pavement, of $425,401 88. COMMISSIONERS FOR COPYING AND INDEXING THR RECORDS OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. A controversy, however, has arisen between the Com- missioners and the Supervisors, which threatens serious embarrassment to the operations of the treasury, and which justifies, if it does not require, the Comptroiler to n that the | | 290,180 47 in 1960, to $8,621,001 31 in 1868, and that | frome unpaid at the end of exhibit the peeuliar position of the Finance Department in regurd to the tax levy of 1868. There has already been borrowed by the Comptroller, from the Ist of Jandary to the Ist of September, 1858, the sum of $6,628,550, in “an- ticipation of the taxes of 1858. Of this large amount the sum of $2,400,000 bas been made payable in the four months from September to January. The law requires that the tax books should be placed jin the hands of the Receiver of Taxes on the Ist of mber, and the ope- rations in the Finance Departnent have been based on the reasonable expectation that the tax rolls would be confirmed and ready for collection, accord- ing to the requirements of the law. After the tax rolls were confirmed by the Supervisors, the taxes extended by them, the warrants prepared, and most of the books returned to the Finance Depart- ment, the Commissioners of Records taade application to the Supreme Court for a mandamus against the Board of Supervisors, using the names of McSpedon & Baker as con- tractors in the complaint, for the put of compelling the Supervisors to add $260,000 w the sum of $60,000 ‘b Wey bac put in the tax levy. If this application of mmissioners should be successful it will be neces- y tw re-copy the entire rolls of the twenty-two wards, and re-adjust the taxes against the name of each indivi: dual. The me thing must also be done in relation to the tax Lis ust nou-residents; and as the Tax Commis. sioners have made a separate book for the present year, containing an alphabetical list of all persous on the rolls charged with personal taxes, it will be necessary to re- copy and re-ndjust the taxes on that list also, The delay oceasioned by Uhis litigation, and the time necessary to readjust with proper accuracy the several tax rolls re ferred to, must be attended with very serious inconveni. he operations of the treasury, and may rave ox ly detrimental to the interest aud credit poration.

This is necessary to prevent losses to the city. ARKRARS OF TAXIS, In each year large sums are assessed on individnals on account of personal taxes, which are not paid and cannot be collected. The accumulation of arrearages of this character, as shown by a statement of the Receiver of Taxes, which is annexed, marked No. 19, to the Ist of July, 1867, amounts to the large 545 269 93, The balance un of the personal tax jn the levy of 217 38. npaid personal taxes Years previous to 1867 exceed one million of dollars, cipal portion of which will never be collected. amount returned on the Ist of June last as unpaid 061 09. This amount, added to the arrearages on the personal tax, makes a total deficiency on the levy for the year 1867 equal to $1,146,278 47. sent No. 20, annexed to this report, shows the arrears returned to Augustus Purdy, Clerk of from 1843 to 1867, inclusive. The aggregate arrears contained in his statement is equal to Arrears amount $2,209 870 17. The collections made by Augustus Purdy, Clerk of Ar rears, on th going sum returned to him, amount to $822,068 93, leaving a balance uncollected of $1,436,891 84 add to this the balance outstanding on account of arrears of persopal tax, $1,545,260 09, and it makes a total amount | of arrears on taxes on the ist of July, 1868, equal t) $3,092,161 77 ‘The same statement{ehows the amount of arrears re turned for each year from 1841 to 1857, and the amoun | collected by Augustus Purdy for each of those years.

The statement of the Receiver 0 ‘Taxes shows that the total amount of arrearages of per sonal taxes, including those of non-residents, amounts t the large sum of $1,545,260 93, of this sum, the Receive of Taxes considers it probable that not more than one third will ever be collected, showing that a sum exceed ing $1,000,000 is probably a dead loss to the city. Statement No. 21 shows the total amount of the tax levy in each year from 1860 to 189, both inclusive, and also the total amount of arrears tax on real and per. sonal estate uneollceted on the Ist of June subsequent to the year in which the levy was made. It will be seen by th atement, that the tax levy bas increased from # hout twelve months after the levy have increased from $204,914 77 in 1851, to $1,041, 67 66 in 1868 RECHIPTS RY THR COLLECTOR OF CITY REVENTR.

In answer, Mr. Rector said that he bad only replied toa similar attack made upon him by Mr. Rust, and that he would not retract. The ex-member then gets a little warm and says he does not know any: thing abont the etiquette governing such as that in which he is engaged, aud cares lems; aod as he never mentioued Mr. Rector’s ‘name in connection with any abusive language, be sees no impropriety in his say- ing #0. He reiterates his demand for immediate retrac- ion, Mr Rector retracts, and thus ends Mr. Rust’s first exson on the “ code.” The Surveying Schooner Firefly.

ENGLISH OPINION OF OUR SANITARY LAWS AND STATE JURISDICTION. London While we tient discussing cians ce le we are | ut S 0} Quarantine on this side’ of the Atlantic, the Americans havo subjected the system to an ordeal of no common character, About er miles from the city of New York lies an insular piece of the State territory known as Sta- pode Leo oe ot nanan — which, near the situate the establishment, Cin eee ec tak tote ceciicaes, on a considerable scale. Time was mie this island was almost uninhabited, and when the pest houses erected on its shores, if they did harm, sinco tho place was little better than a wilderness. But in tho extraordinary oxtension which has been given oe, OEE Be, PPR ee ‘ork oa, S certain portion ita inhabitants has been ten Iarip hoch i own metro) }, it has been the aa Glass which has decided upon removal to the mearbe This Migration had the effect of Poopling Staton Island with settlers of influence and means, iL at length tho residents number some 20,000, compri many fami- lies of high provincial position. In the meantime the Quarantine establishment continued in full activity; for, though the Ad gr States are not visited by plague, they are cxposed to the ravages of yollow fever, and it was against the importation of this pestilence from its more ordinary sphere in the Southern provinces that the Staten Island lazaretto was principally maintained. ‘Tho result, therefore, was the concentration of malignant disease in a favorite and well-frequented locality—much as if we wore to build somo great pesthouse at Kensington or Richmond. appears that, whatever the Staten Island lazaretto might be presumed to accomplish, it did not, at any rato, prevent fever from making its appearance outside the walls of the establishment; and tho islanders, instead of reflecting to what extent. thoy might be preserved by tho quarantine system, perversely concluded that it brought em into positive anger. Disquietude and indignation, . fact, prevailed for some timo, until at length one set of Sanitary authorities proceeded ‘to sit in {udgment upon another; and the Castleton Board of Health actually declared by formal resolution, that the Quarantino ostab- lishment was fraught with peril to the lives of the citizens, and that, as a plain and positive nuisance, it might be justly “‘abated.’? ‘This settled the matter. ‘On Wednes- day, the Ist of September, a mob assembled in the evening, and destroyed a considerable portion of the Quarantine buildings by open violence, and on the succeeding night they completed the 'work by demolishing what remained, including the physician's resi- dence, and reducing all the ada and pa ime or of the establishment to ashes. ‘The wretched patients were removed from their beds in all stages of disease, fire was applied in every direction, and a single stone build- ing, which happened to prove incombustible, was the only structure which escaped the flames. We shall not enlarge at present upon the light thrown: by this extraordinary proceeding on tho political institu- tions of the United States. The act itself, though aggra- vated in character by the miseries inflicted on the unhappy sick, has had many natural precedents, not only in the Vigilance Committees of San Francisco and New Orleans, but in the municipal poiitics of New York itself. It seems to be considered that some organic or ele- mentary rights of imdependent action are reserved to American citizens notwithstanding their adhesion to a general form of government, and that these rights may be exercised and the sovereignty of the peo- ple practically resumed whenever the executive power is regarded as seriously \n default. The principle, in short, is that of the right of mmsurrection applied to the reek: tions of every-day life by every town and cit tion; and we on Monday extracted from the ay journals the reflections to which the example in an naturally gave rise. The Staten Island people did not like the great pesthonse established in the midst of their dwellings; they thought it endangered their lives; and when the ‘local authority, in the shape of the Castleton Board of Health, had given expression to this opinion, they proceeded to carry out their will without regard to the law, the general interests of the State, or the decisions of the supreme government. On the spot, as is not surprising, public feeling was entirely in favor of the rioters. Not the “least attempt was made to keop the peace, though so universally were tho Proceodings anticipated, especially on the second night of the riot, that the reporters of the local journals attended in the exercise of their profession to observe and chronicle events. ‘On this point, however, we will say no more, as it is to the general system of quarantine rather than toa par- ticular incident of its operation that we have addressed our remarks. Whatever may be the virus of certain dis- eases, it is clear that the poison must necessarily be in- tensified by such an institution as that of the lazaretto. When a number of human beings are packed together, some possibly sickening, others suspected, and all sub- jected to the destructive influences of depression, confinement and terror, it is obvious that the conditions for the propagation of disease have been exactly fulfilled. If fever did not exist al ready, such proceedings would be calculated to pro- duce ‘it. At one time all maladies of whatever. description which were observed to be e believed to be contagious were treated in a si - ner. It was not only against the pine jague that peathouses were erected in former years. Smallpox patients were collected and isolated in exactly the same manner, and, indeed, We learn from the reports before us that small- pox, a8 well as yellow fever, was taken under the super- intendence of the Quarantine authorities at Staten Island. In this country we have learned, even apart from the ie of vaceination, that the t pro — are leanliness and care. Our doctors can lay ir fingers on the very spots in a town where disease will be found, and es from Which it might spread; but, instead of po ing a cordon around the place and concentrating the infection, they disperse it by the effectual purification of the neighborhood. Five years ago the towns of Newcastle and Gateshead were visited pi so dreadful an outbreak of cholera that ina few weeks the pestilence carried off 2,000 souls. Within a distance of -_ or nine miles lay the town of Tynemouth, connected with the plague-stricken boroughs both by railway and river. The intercourse be- tween the two districts was incessant, and yet but four cases of cholera during the whole period of sickness were in Tynemouth, though that town in the previous epidemic of 1849 could reckon up its 463 deaths. Wheao we ask for an explanation of 80 remarkable a case we are told that in the interval the authorities of Tynemouth had subjected the place toa rigorous purification, and had thus repulsed an enemy whom no barriers could have excluded, It deserves to be noticed on the present occasion that the plague bas not been propagated from Bengazi, — the ordinances of the Quarantine authorities Lave been more than once disregarded, and whole bodies of men “compro mised” by violations of there most absurd and preposter ous iaws. Taking a broader view of facts, too, we may re mark, that althoogh the intercourse between Europe and the East is now maintained far more consta tly ‘and inti- mately than in former times we never hear of any re appearance of the plague, That we cannot be by latitude or climate ts plain from the terrible sufferings of past generations, and it follows, therefore, that we must have earned our immunities by improved sanitary economy. The plague was in Bulgaria in 1828, im 1844, and now at Bengazi in 1868; in Western Europe, nor even at Gibraltar or Tt is not that the disease has become extinct, but that civiliaed States have outlived their liabilities, and this exemption they have attained not by the severity of their quarantine laws, but by ae oe of whole. rome naages. true way to keep out pestilence is to banish these elements of fank and filth which it requires for its developement, and thus leave it no place to stand on, Intelligence. Capt. Barton, U.S A.; Hon. % Kidwell, of Virginia, and Collector Schell, of New York, were in Washington on Wednesday. Their Majesties, Emperor and Empress of Russia, with ie Prince and Hrincess Royal of Wurtemburg, arrived Nijni Novgorod on the 30th ult., and were received by a large crowd. On that and the ‘bllowlng day they vi- ited the church and public edifices, and recoived the no bles and functionaries, also a deputation of traders, who, according to custom, presented and salt, with specimens ‘of the manufactures of the place. On the 3let the Emperor and Empress gave a dinner, and attended a ball, and the next day his Y passer a review of the garrison. His Majesty also visited the house of correction and charitable establishments. On ‘the 2d the Emperor and Empress were still in the piace. The Emperor Alexander II. intends to invest his bro- thers, the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael, with more important functions than those which they have hitherto had entrusted to them.
