The euit in question was commenced as early ag August, 187. When the papers were sent tothe Law Depart ment I immediately, in pursuance of a rule I bad estab- lished, and which I etiti observe, addressed a commani- Cation to Mr, Fiagg, the then Comptrotier, advising him of the suit, and asking him to furnish me with any facts which could be set up by way of deience.

Adams. This cage was commenced before my term of office, and was contested throughout by me; and $26,351 of it is for the judgment of Joun $35,000 of it is the estimated ‘amount of judgments likely to be recovered against the ae ‘suits which are pending, and which are being liti- rated. These account for more than seven-ninths of the whole sum, and I migbt, if it were deemed desirable, explain with the game particularity every dollar of it. It is per- haps enough for me to say that in the Marine and Justices Courts aloue, during the year 1858, there were four hun cred and twenty five suits against the city; in all of which \be city was represented, aud in every case in which the Gepartments did not advise me that there was no defence, he plaiwtiff was obliged to prove his case. In the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court, the Supe- rior Court, and the Court of Common Pieas there have been some two hundred cages disposed of during the year, and notwithstanding ail this litigation, and that this department addition to examine the tities to all the real estate acquired by the city, to conduct the proceed- ings 1m the opeving of streets, and to gi rite opinions toall the departments uf on ail subjects affecting the gov eroment and powers ¢f this great city, not a single suit bas gone by default, unless under the direction of the late Comptroller, or upon the written statement of the head of the appropriate depastments that there was no defence. And tbe woole number of such will not exceed twenty or thirty, In Gvery other casa judgment has been obtained only after acoutest, upon the verdict of a jury, or the decision of @ court or its judicial substitute; add Lo cage bas been referred during the past year, except such a8, upon mo- tion, the Court would bave ordered a reference in, and every case referred bas been fought, and the claimant obliged to make good his claim by legal proofs. lk may ot be improper for me here to say that no one of the gentlemen who have formerly held the office has ever bad ove third of the amount of labor to perform which bas falien «0 my jot, and while all of them, with the exception of my immediate predecessor, derived remunerative fees, my compensation is limited to a fixed salary. In View of the foregoing facts, your honorable body will see the pecessity of promptly providing means for the adjustment of the claims which have passed into judg- ment, and to wbich Comptroller Haws has heretofore di rected your attention. 1also beg your attention to the fact, that no matter how flagrant the case may be of injustice to the city, or how strongly suever its legal adviser may be of opiniou that an appeal from tbe judgment below shoul be takea, there are Lo means provided by which the appeal can be made eflectual to stay execution, No overburthened public spirited aud responsible taxpayer can be found to sign an undertaking as surety for the Corporation, aud many judgments against it which might have been re- versed upon appeal, bave, on this account, become final. The city is remediless, aud the law offlser without power ip the premises. In wy annual report for the year 1858 I made soms suggestions concerning the law allowing parties to be wit- nesses ou their own bebaif in suits against the city, and recommended ab application to the Legislature on the sub- ject. The importance of this induces me again to call your ‘attention to it. barpestly soliciting your aid and co operation in the dis- charge of tbe onerous and responsible duties of my oillce, I have the honor to be, your obedient servant, RICHARD BUSIEED, Counsel for the Corporation. The communication was ordered to be entered at length on the minutes. Another communication was received from the Corporation Counsel respecting the right of the Common Council to investigate the affairs of the Alms: house Commisgioners, and stating that they have no right, except in matters of buildings emounting to $5,000. A majority and minority report respecting the electric clocks in the City Hall, and keeping them in repair, were received and laid over. Alderman ADAMS moved to discharge the committee of five to whom the question of the City Inspector’s Depart- ment was referred, pending which the Board adjourned to the first Monday in March. —————— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Tuurspay, Feb. 24—6 P. M. By the arrival of the steamship Canada at Halifax, we have a week's later news from Europe. The news is, on the whole, favorable, though just before the steamer sailed warlike rumors were again afloat, and mach unea siness prevailed. Napoleon’s speech at the opening of the Chambers was pacific, in consequence of which the funds, the French rentes and cotton all improved. The closing quotations were 9534 a 3 for consols—an improvement of 34; 68 for the rentes—ao improvement of 2 per cent from the Jast quotations by the Africa. The advance in cotton was 3¢ per lb. Sardinia was, however, in the market for a fifty million war loan, and preparations for war continue to be made in France on an extended scale. Notwith” standing these symptoms of future trouble, the news can- rot fail to be regarded as better than was generally ex” pected. But seven working days remain to the Congress of the United States, and nothing has yet been settled in refo rence to the two leading questions of the day—the tariff and the floances of the government. It is understood that there will be a strong effort made presently to get a Dill through both houges authorizing the Secretary of tho Treasury to reissue twenty millions of Treasury notes and it is geoerally conceded that, if this measure be comes a law, the Secretary will not urge any requests for further finavctal aid in the shape of a funded joan, But whetber the effort to reisgue the treasury notes will sue. ceed, what rate of interest they will bear, whether the scheme of @ new ten million loan has been wholly aban doved by the Senators who were underswwod to be wed- ded to it, shove all, what is to be done witd the tariff—al! these questions are involved in doubt and uncer- tainty, to (he great apnoyance and injury of the tioan cial and commercial community. Merchants are gravely emburrassed in relation to the proposed changes in the tariff. Those who have goods in ware houre cannot tell whether it is for their interest to sell or to hold. Those who wold be importing at this season cannot decide whether it ie safe to send oat orders. Country dealers canuot tell whether they had better exe e their purebases at once, or wait a week. Atlatestad vicea from Washington, it was generally understood that the Senete pees o bill reviving the last tariff, or suspend. ing the present one; butthe action of the House cannot possibly be predicted. The chances appear to be—oon. sidering the few working days lefi—that nothing will be doue. The Treasury Note and Loan questions, though less interesting 40 merchants, are of great importance to the moneyed world. The outstanding Notes must in any event be provided for; and if, at the last moment, Congress, in a factions epirit, ehould refuse to pass either » bill autho- Tigipg their reiseve or a bill authoriziug a Joan to pay them off, the President would of course call an extra session. The possibility that a loan may, at the last moment, be authorized, tends to keep the money market in a feverish coudition, We showed some time since that loans will shortly be needed by several States of the Union—such as New York, Pennsylva pia and Mirsouri—to say nothing of the necessitive of the younger members of the confederacy. If, in ai § tion to this, the general government reappears in} market as a barrower, tbe conseqnences will be very bu riove, not oply to the bolders of the loan of 1658, but to the banking interest generally, And asthe Senate ts likely to pase a bill authorizing a loan of thirty millions for Cuba, whie the increasing activity in tbe money markt justifies ap apprebension that money may rise to euch a pomt that the bulk of the duties may be paid into the Custom Hovre in the shape of Treasury notes, the pro 3 pect is not distant enough to be disregarded, Money continues wo rule at 43g a5 for call loans, with fair eopply, ering a8 before from a scanty deman > The banks are uot fluding it easy to use their means with out reducing their rates of discount; but safely managed netitutions will resist the temptation to increase their oans. Ia exchange there is Uttle or nothing doing, aad rates are unchanged, - The payments toto the Sub-Treasury to-day were very light; for the present the rush of goods seoms to have stopped, and no one is inahurry to pay up the amouct due on the loan. We may take this opportunity of co « recting an error which seems to prevail in rome quarters with regard to the balance of the loan. Some persons seem to think that the successful bidders whose domicil is outside this city will necessarily pay into the Sub. Trea sury or depositary nearest their home—that Sweeney, Rittevhouse & Co., for instance, will pay their three mil lions at Washington, These persons forget that all Wash ington does not contain three millions of gold. Ati or @early all the payments on account of the iowa will be wade bere, wherever the bidders reside. The Sub-Trea- fury report for the day is as fojlows:— Tota! recaipta... —For custine ‘Total pay mente Porat balance The Stock Exchange exbidit berg, though prices are on the whole rather better. ‘There is no large bull or bear interest, and the recovery im those stocks which promise to recover is not yet suff. ciently marked to tempt the public into the market, The Parties who, a week ago, undertook to buy certain stosks for & rise bave latterly refrained from following up their Policy, wisely preferring to remain idle rather than overload themselves with stock in a stagnant market. ‘Ibe smaller operators at the Board are generally bears, as usual; but, also as usual, they sell 20 much and so blindly that they make a market against themselves and sustain stocks by the very efforts they make to depress them. It is reasonable to expect that a few weeks may make a change of some kind or other. The news from Europe especially i looked for with great anxiety, State securities were rather higher to day. Miscouria were in demand at an advance of and the government loan again sold at 102%. In bonds the business transacted was moderate in amount; all tho Erie bonds are lower. As the time approaches for tho default of this company on the bonds which mature next month, its position becomes unusually interesting. The only really promising feature in the prospect is the con- tract which has been concluded for tne construction of the long dock. It is expected that this work will be finished within ten months, When it is, the freight busi- ness of the Erie will all be conducted at Jersey City, to the great advantage of both company and shippers, Grain will then be taken from the lake vessels, aud carried without stoppage or transhipment to seagoing ships. Thus & new source of inoome will be opened to the road. Oa the other band, the Erie has been so long failing behind- band in its business and its payments that it seems quite doubtful whether the company can survive long enough to reap the advantage of new works. The interest on a arge amount of bonds is unpaid; by the time the income of the road increases the accrued interest will alone eat up more than ordinary profits of a success. ful road. These considerations are probably the cause of the decline in the bonds. New York Central cloaed higher to-day, without much activity, The Western stocks were quiet, but held their ground well. Lllinoig Central was rather lower. Michigan Southern guarauteed rose nearly ‘one per cent. Pacific Mail recovered 13g per cent of yes- ‘day's decline. The controversy with Vanderbilt re- mains in satu quo. The coal stocks were generally better.

We give, in another part of this paper, a ful! account of the defalcation in the Atlantic Baok of Brooklyn. The amount taken from the bank is now estimated at $55,000, though the bank does not think it will exceed haif this sum. The whole, or nearly go, it is presumed has been lost in gambling and stock speculations. The event again re. calls the considerations we have so frequently had occasion to lay before the public in connection with bank defalcations. We say it boldly—there has not been a defalcation in any New York bank for years which might not have been detected by a proper exercise of vigtiance on the part of the president. Not tbat that oflicer could always have discovered, at once, the fraudulent entries which were made in the bank books to conceal the thefts, though, in @ well ordered findmcial institution there should be a sys- tem of checks and other contrivances to render such frauds, if not impossible, at least very difficult; but the true secret of careful bank management lies in watchfulness of bank clerks after bank hours, It invariably happens that, after a defalcation comes to light, the first thing discovered is that the defaulter bas been living above his means, spending money in debauchery and dissipation of various kinds keeping up grand establishments, associating with extra- vagant friends, frequenting brokers’ offices, and anxious about the prices of stocks, or visiting faro tables. When the defalcation is discovered, it is ustonishing how every one seems to bave known this all along, except the very person who ought to have known of it—the president of the bank, Numbers of persons invariably come forward and declare that they had frequently been astonished at the lavish expenditure or the reckless gambling of the de- faulter, Friends, acquaintances, relatives, neighbors— even stranger s—notice the facts, and suspect. Every one is on the alert except the very man who, should have been the firet to know how bis employé lived, how he spent his money , What society be kept, whether he was likely to yield to temptation or no. These are not new views in this jour nal, Each succeesive defaication confirms them. No man ie fit for the office of bank president unless he is willing and able to keep a friendly eye over the habits of his clerks after they leave the bank. By doing #0, he will not only render it almost impossible for any of his young men to become dishonest without hig knowledge, but he will likewise ofien be the means of preserving a poor fellow from crime and ruin, Until all our bank pre sidents do #0, a8 a matter of rigid duty, defalcations will continue to recur with periodical regularity. The Railroad Convention met again to-day at the St. Nicholas, After full discussion of the communication from the Hudgon River road,made yesterday by Mr.Sloan, as well as various other complaints made against both the Central aud Erie roads through their connections, the whole ques. tion in dispute was settled by the agreement on the part of the Central and Erie road that the coutract between the four lines tliould, in ail respects, be strictly complied With, and that in case the Hudson River or the Buffalo and New York and Erie roads violated the compact, they should be cut off from all business, and local rates charged on all freiglit received from them. Vaflous other ques- tions that had arisen between the four linos were dis- cussed and settled in the moat amicable manner, and there is good reason for believing that the compact will be con- tinued. Thig is the more likely as the presidents of the roads "ered this morning that the breaking up of the agreeDrent would immediately lead to such reductions on bov% passenger and freight rates as would prove most Tuinous. The difference between the preseut rates and those that would inevitably follow the abrogation of the agreement is estimated by the parties in interest at not ess than one hundred thousand dollars per month to @ sch of the four lines, With this admitted fact it is hardly porsible that any road will dare, without good cause, to terminate the preseut arrangement, the s@le object of which Js to secure paying rates on the present small busi ness, The complications which have arisen between the Pennsy!vania and Baltimore an!
