After the minutes of the preceding Ieceting were read and approved, a number of resolutions were presented, among which were the following:— YROPOSAL TO PURCHASE THE FIVE POINTS FOR PUBLIC BUILD- INGS. Mr. Lent offered the subjoined preamble and resolu- tion:— Whereas, that portion of the city commonly known as the Five Pointe has been for yearsa disgrace and reproach to the Empire City, and whereas, all efforts to regenerate * the same have thus far been unsuccessful; therefore, Resolved, That the Committee on Lands and Places re- port to this Board the expediency of taking measures to Secure that portion of the city bounded by Centre, Pearl, Chatham, Mott and Walker streets (or any portion of the wame), and laying it out as a public park and erecting on a portion of the same suitable buildings for the accommo- dation of the Croton, Street and City Inspector's Depart- ments.

Adopted. SHOULD BOILER INSPECTORS RE APPOINTED? Mr. Lamwer presented the following preamble and resolution:— Whereas, the late accident at the Girard House, and others of a similar character in the city, has shown that accidents are likely to occur from the unsafe condition of the boilers of buildings in which steam is used; and whereas, the lives of the citizens should be shielded from this danger as much as possible by ordinances of the Common Council, therefore, Resolved, That a special committee be appointed to re- Port an ordinance to provide for the appointment of suit- able persons to inspect the condition of the boilers in Dulldings where steam is used.

PAPERS. YROM THE. ALDERMEN, Among the reports presented. by the chairmen of the different committees was a report of the Committee on Fi- nance appropriating $11,400 to the Street Commissioner for the expenses of the Fire Department, which was laid over. ‘A large number of reports and papers from the Alder- men wore laid over for future action, among which were the subjoined, which the Board concurred in:— ‘A resolution to repair a shed in Jefferson market at an expense of $800. x ‘A communication of the Street Commissioner with award of contract for repairing and altering house No. 84 Attor- ney street for use of Hose Company No. 4, at an expense of $1,400, was concurred in; also for building a house be- tween Second and Third avenues for the use of Engine Company No, 36, at an expense of $3,068; also for buitding a pier at the foot of Seventy-ninth street, East river, at au expense of $11,921. VETO OF THE MAYOR ON THE RESOLUTIONS DECLARING THE LEASE OF THE WILLIAMSBURG FERRIES NULL AND VorD. The following communication was received from the Mayor:— Mayor's Orrice, New York, Oct. 3, 1859. ‘To Tie Honoranie THE ComMoN CouNciL :— GxytieMeN—I herewith return to you without my ap- proval the resolutions adopted by the Common Council on the 19th of September last, declaring null and void the uuthorized leases granted to Meserole and others, of the ferries: from Grand street in this city to Grand street, Brooklyn, and from Peck slip to South Seventh street, Brooklyn, or adjacent thereto; and directing the Counsel to the Corporation to take proceedings immediately to pre- vent the unauthorized use of and interference with such ferries, and also that the Comptroller proceed forthwith to advertise and sell at public auction the leases of the said Grand street ferry, and the one from the northerly basin at Peck slip to the foot of South Seventh street, Brooklyn, for the term of ten years from the first of January next. and that sch leases be submitted to the Common Council for their approval. In arriving at this conclusion I re- gret that Tam again compelled to put myself in opposition to the Common Council on a question connected with the ferry rights of this city. In my judgment, to sanction this resolution would be to establish a precedent well'cal culated to disturb that confidence which should always be placed in the city of New York. ‘The Common Council, on examination of the public re- cords, will find that leases have already been executed by the public agents of the city, to J. V. Meserole and others, of ferries between the points referred to in the above re- solution. The right to run these ferries was sold at public auction, after advertisements appeared in the newspapers, (in pursuance of the provisions of the charter,) of the proposed sale of the ferry franchises between the points suggested. At the sale a sharp competition took place. ‘The purchaser at the sale agreed to pay $21,000 per an- num for the Peck slip ferry, and $15,000 per aunum for the Grand street ferry. These sales were made under the direction of the Comptroller of the city. ‘The purchasers having furnished adequate security, required their leases, which were executed to them in the month of May last! Immediately on the execution of the leases, the parties to whom they were made entered into arrangemonts for running boats on these ferries. They have made large ex- penditures in the purchase of boats And preparing proper Tanding places on each side of the river. They have paid their rent on the ferries into the public treasury, and so far as was in their power they have complied with the terms of their contract with the city. The resolution sub- mitted to me proposes to annul that contract, to repudiate ‘our own covenants made with parties who have honestly paid their rents and faithfully performed — their share of the agreement. To sanction such a re- solution would be to undermine — the confi dence now placed in the contracts of the public authorities of this city. For one I am no! concur in any act which will disturb that con inviolability of contracts which lies not only at the very foundation of commercial prosperity but of social exist- ence. That faith shall not be impaired by any acto mine, ‘The resolution against which I offer my objections as sumes that the Montgomery charter has been violated in the execution of the leases in question. It also insists that the leases should have been submitted to the Com- mon Council for ratification. ‘The provision in the Montgomery charter authorized the city of New York to establish ferries; that is, to declare that an exclusive right should exist to carry’ passengers and freight between points on the island to certain designa- ted points an the opposite shores. It gave the power to the city to create a franchise of a particular nature. In pursuance of this authority many years since the Common Council directed a ferry to be authorized from the foot of Grand street to (then) Williamsburg, now Brooklyn, D. In November, 1836, the Common Council directed ferry to be established from Peck slip to Williamsburg. ‘Thus under the charter the ferry franchises were establish: ed by the Common Council. Leases have from time to time been granted of these ferry franchises so establish ed, Last May the term for which the leases had been granted having expired, new leases wero granted to Mese role and others, us [have before stated. ¢ Comptroller of the city was the agent of the public authorities in the execution of these leases. His aithority is found in the 4st section of the amended charter of the city of New York, passed by the Legislature of this State in 1857, The sec. tion is as follows:—Sec, 41. All ferries, docks, piers and slips shall be leased, and all leases and sales of public I property and franchises (other than grants of land under water to which the owners of the upland sball have a pre. emptive right) shall bo made by public auction, and to tho highest bidder, who will give adequate security. No Joase berealter given (except as pho BAP BAY be so: NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, uired by covenants of the Corporation already ex'sting) shalt be lor @ longer period than ten years, reyhy ferry. Jeases shall be revocable by the Common Council for mis- management or neglect to provide adequate accommoda- tions. All persons acquiring any ferry lease or other franchise of grant under the provisions “ofthis act, be required to purchase, at a fair appraised valuation, the boats, buildings and other property of the former lessocs or grantees actually necessary for the pury of such ferry grant or franchise, Previous notice of all sales re- ferred to in this section shall be given, under the direction of the Comptroller, in the newspapers: peplozed by the Corporation, and for thirty days in each of the daily newspapers so employed. (Laws of New York, Eigh- teenth Session, page 169, section 41, Public Acts of 1857.) ‘This provision is but a repetition of the section of the charter of 1858, The charter of 1853 was ratified by a vote of a large majority of the people of this city, and was afterwards ratified by the Legislature. The city of Now York has, 80 far as ferries are concerned, ratified it by granting loases to parties through the Comptroller of the city after sale at public auction, and without submission to the Common Council. Another’ ferry lease is now in ex istence, and must be aflected by the operation o! the re- solution adopted by you. ‘The charter of 1853 modified the operation of the Mont. gomery charter so as to direct the letting of all the fran- chises of the Corporation by the Comptroller. It also re- pealed all acts inconsistent therewith. ‘The charter of 1867 remined all the Montgomery charter then in force It fol- lows, therefore, that the section which relates to ferries of | the Montgomery charter is only in force as modified in 1853, as Unis was the form in which it was in force, This modification ig reiterated in the forty-first section of the charter of 1857, ‘The Common Council cannot direct the Comptroller to do an act ip violation of the express duty required of him by Jaw. In the view taken by me, that ferry leases nevd not be submitted to the Common Council for approval, I am sustained by the judgment the counsel of the Board (who is, by the resolution under consideration, di rected to tuke measures to annul the Meserole lease), who gave an opinion in January last to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. A copy of that opinion is he transmitted. Tt is true that the counsel's « docs not relate to a ferry, but to another property or franchise of the city. Ho rests his decision, however, on the forty-first section of the charter which refers to “all ferries, docks, piers, slips, and all leases or sales of public property.”? The same rea. soning will cover the present case and put at rest the doc trine that ne’ ‘8 must be submitted to the Common Council for ratitic: If the pr on be adopted and its directions carried into ity will undoubtedly be prosecuted in a suit for damages by the parties who have obtained the leases for the Grand street and Peck slip ferries. They will claim a large amount of money for the losses incurred ‘by them in consequence of the repudiation of the Common Council, aud the taxpayers of this city will be compelled to reimburse the lessees the amount of their losses. While these claims must be satistied the city will not derive, as rent for the proposed ferries, anything but a nominal rent, The resolution is so drawn that there can be no real competition for the purchase of the ferry franchise from Peck slip ferry under the resolution. It proposes to di- rect the Comptroller to sell a ferry franchise from the northerly basin at Peck slip to the foot of South Seventh street, Brooklyn. ‘The proposition in the resolution is of such a character as to establish a ferry between two points, one of which on the New York side belongs t@ the city, while the point on the Brooklyn side is in the hands of parties who can alone bid for the franchise with any advantage, No party who does not own the point at the foot of South Seventh street, Brooklyn, can afford to purchase. ‘The rates of rent will be neceszarily determined by the owner of the property at the foot of South Seventh street. It was with a to avoid such a contingency that the Comptroller sold the right. He advertised and sold the ferry us it had been heretotore fixed by the Common Council, ‘to run a ferry from Peck slip to South Seventh street, Brook- lyn, or to Some point adjacent thereto.” It was the power to select a point adjacent to South Seventh street which induced the purchasers to bid $21,000 per annum for the ferry. If the present resolution be carried into effect the price ef the Peck slip ferry will be regulated (and natu- rally) at a low rate by the owners of the property at the foot of South Seventh street, Brooklyn. The Common Conncil have acquiesced in the charters of 1858 and 1857. They have induced the public to believe that they were acting under the provisions of the charter of 1857. The Comptroller has also assumed, as he had a right #0 to do, that the Common Couucil assented to the provi. sions of the charter of 1857. He had a right to suppose that a provision in the charter intended to prevent any body of men conferring the valuable franchises of the city on favorites at a nominal rent would be sustained by the representatives of the taxpayers. The great object of the forty-first section of the charter was to obtain the great est amount of revenae from the public franchises. That ‘section did not impair in the least the right of the Common Council to establish ferries, but it enacted that the ferries so established should be disposed of at public anction to the highest bidder who could give adequate security. ‘The resolution herewith returned takes the ground that the lease must be submitted to the Common Council for their approval. There is nothing in the law which re- quires such submission; on the contrary, the direction to the Comptroller is mandatory. If the purchaser at the auction sale gives adequate security he has a right to his lease, and could compel the Corporation to execute such lease) and put him in possession of the ferry franchise he may have purchased. I endeavored to place before the Board such con- siderations as will, I trust, induce them to reconsider their action on the resolution. The rapidity with which it was passed (having been adopted by both Boards on the sama evening) could not have permitted that deliberation which such a subject should demand. Further deliberation w show the impropriety of the measure. I cannot but be- lieve that a preference of justice and of fair dealing, of regard for the sanctity of contracts as well as for the character of the city of New York, will prompt the n bers of the Board to reconsider a resolution whic carried into execution, may lead to results to be depl by every honest man in the community. DANIEL F. TIEMA FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Moxpay, Oct. 8—6 P. M. Tho bank statement made up to-day compares as follows with the statement of last week:— Week end’g. Loans. Specie. Sept. 24..$119,387,826 20,660,436 Oet. T,... 118,008,752 19,250;126 Circul’n. 8,857,206 72,730,599 8,837,702 70,812,105 Decrease..$1,378,674 1,401,310 19,504 1,918,494 ‘The loss of specie is larger than was expected, but the reduction in loans is likewise very considerable. Had the banks always pursued the policy of reducing their loans in proportion to the withdrawal of their gold, their repu- tation for wisdom would have stood higher than it does. ‘The bank reserve now stands at a lower point than has ‘been touched since November, 1857, when the banks were not paying specie. As trade revives and becomes active it can hardly be expected that the reserve will stand much above $15,000,000, as a general rule. This is quite ag much as is necessary for all wholesome purposes of trade. Areserve of $15,000,000 might not permit the banks to expand to an extent of $125,000,000, as they so foolishly did this spring; but money would rule higher, and fair traders would run less risk of being injured by the speculative operations of merchants trading beyond their means on the strength of facilities offered them at bank. Much of the reduction both of loans and of specie this week is traceable to the Merchants’ Bank, which has lost the unusual sum of $640,692, and, with a sagacity which we commend to the notice of some other institu- tions, at once reduced its discounts $593,127. There is considerable inquiry for money to-day among the discount brokers, and long paper is not popular among lenders or at bank. The brokers obtain money freely at 6 per cent, with occasional exceptions at 53¢ and at 7. We presume that the above bank statement will have a ten] dency to render the market this week less easy for bor- rowers. If the banks are wise they will protect their gold. Exchange is not very active for the Boston steamer. Sterling is held at 11034 a 14, at which rates there isa moderate business; in francs there is nothing doing. No specie, from present appearances, will go to Boston to- morrow for shipment in the Wednesday’s steamer; on Saturday the usual shipment will probably be made from here, The supply of cottorbills is increasing, and we may shortly look for some produce bills seeking a market at this point. The stock market opened this morning with some ani- mation, which was checked by free sales of Ceatral by a broker who has been identified with the bull interest in that stock. The fact led to the surmise that some heavy holders were realizing, and caused the price to decline and the whole market to recede. Between the boards stocks were inactive, and prices a shade lower. In the afternoon a further decline took place, and the market closed heavy. The fluctuations of the leading speculative stocks were considerable, New York Central advanced to 8154 a %, and closed at 80% a 7%. Rock Island sold as high as 673g, but closed at 66, Galena sold up to 7434, closing at 7376 bid. So far as the business of the Western roads is concerned there seems to be no particular cause for a decline in prices. The reports from the West show that business there is steadily reviving, and that the crop is coming to market at prices which reward the farmer handsomely. It needs no argument to show that with this state of things existing the Western roads must do better this full and winter than they did last, when there was no business in the West and no Western crop worth mentioning to move. The true cause of the late fluctua. tions in stocks must be sought in Wall street, and not on the lines of road, New York Central, for instance, has advanced 12 a 18 per cent within a short period, and is now as high as it was when the principal Western stocks were 3a4per cent higher than they are. It is quite likely that many of the parties who bought this stock on the rise may fecl that a reaction is now fatrly due, and may sell out in consequence, in which event it would be safe to look for a decline in the price until the stock thus thrown on the market found a new home. Central, too, has been injured by exaggerated re- ports of the September earnings, With regard to the other railroad stocks, there is no party or clique moving in any of them. The bull parties, which some time since operated in Galena, Rock Island and one or two other Western stocks, seem to have realized their profits, and to be watching for a good opportunity to renew the game. Pacific Mail js wainly sugtained by something very like a Deposits. “corner’’ among the bulls, and by the demand from the shorts. It closed to-day at 795%. The demand for State ‘stocks and good railway bonds continues fair, and prices are well maintained, Missouris fell off 34 to-day, but the general market for State stocks was steady, At the close of official business the following were ‘the last quotatons:—Virginia 6's, 951, 4 34; Missouri 6's, 8874 a #4; Canton Company, 173g @ 3¢; Cumberland Coal, 12 a 24 Pacitle Mail, 1974 a80; New York Central, 8034 a % Ere, 434 a5; Hudson River, 95 a 9514; Harlem, 944 @944; do. preferred, 3534 a 8574; Reading, 44 a 4424; Michigan Central, 43 a 4834; Michigan Southern and Northern In- diana, 54 a6; do. guaranteed, 2234 a 22); Panama, 117 4117; Illinois Central, 66 4 6634; Galena and Chicago, 7876 a 74; Cleveland and Toledo, 21% a 22; Chicago and Rock Island, 663, & 663¢; Illinois Central 7’s, 84 a 64)4- Considerable pment exists on the subject of the California mail rout On Wednesday next three steam- ere will leave this port for Central America, with passen- gers for California. ‘These are the Baltic, of the North AUlantic Company, which runs to Aspinwall and connects with the Pacitic Mail Company's steamships on the other side; the Northern Light, of the Vanderbilt Company, which also runs to Aspinwall, and connects with Vander bilt’s vessels from Panama; and the St. Louis, of the new “AUantic and Central American Transit Co. ,)” which runs to San Juan, and proposes to connect, via Nicaragua, with either the Oregon or the Pacific on the other side. This latter vessel carries the mail, under the Jobnson eontract, and touches at Key West. The St. Louis belongs to the Pacific Mail Company, and has been chartered by that company to the “Atlantic and Central Amerizan Transit Company,” of which Mr. Joseph White appears to be the active manager. ‘The Atlantic and Central American Transit Company state that they have made every arrangement for reopen ing the Nicaragua route under the Van Dyck grant; that they have boats in abundance on the river and lake, and mules and carts for the land travel; that the Nicaraguan government will give them every facility, and that they will carry the mail through from the Atlantic to the Pacific in about thirty hours. On the Pacitic, they say that they have the steamer Pacific ready to connect with them at San Juan del Sur. There appearing, however, to be some doubt whether the Pacific can or will do so, arrangements have been made by which, on the arrival of the Baltic at A pinwall, a message is to be despatched to the Pacific Mail Company's agent at Panama, directing him to send one of their steamers—apparently the Oregon—to wait for the St. Louis at San Juan del Sur. Such, as understand, are the present prospects for Wednesday. The new company appears to be san- guine of getting the mail, We presume it is prepared to offer suitable guarantees to the Department for its safe and speedy transit across the Isthmns of Nicaragua, Un- der the cireumstances, we feel bound to recommend mer- chants who write by this opportunity to duplicate their letters by the other ships, in some way or other. The Western exchanges are declining again. At Chica- go Eastern exchange is selling at 134 a 34; at St. Louis it is held at }¢ a 34 premium. These rates are still too high for the season, and can hardly be maintained. The annual election at the Clearing House takes place to- morrow, and there is a rumor that certain changes, which experience seems to have rendered desirable, will be quietly made. The business of the Sub-Treasury to-day was as fol- lows :— Total receipts we $207,304 72 —For customs 80,000 00 Total payments 419,219 07 Balance *4,918;142 96 ‘The exchanges at the Bank Clearing House this morning were $25,473,955 24, and the balances $1,381,587 78. ‘The Arizona, at New Orleans, brings $14,220, and the In- dianola $80,416 50 in specie—both from the Rio Grande. ‘The Paterson and Hudson River Railroad Company has declared a dividend of fear por cent, payable on the 5th inst., by Stebbins & Bloodgood, 22 William street; after that date by the Treasurer at Paterson.
