The Rates ef Wharfage. ‘The new law regulating and raising the rates of wharf- age on vessele in New York and Brooklyn went imto suitable wharves and plers for the accommodation of the ‘vast amount of shipping which the business of the port of New York employs, and for the past five or six years attempts bave been made in the Legislature to get the rates advanced to a point which would pay a legal inter- eston the money invested in wharf property, but not until the present year bas the purpose been accomplished. ‘We learn that the merchants and all engaged in the shipping interest, having become fully satisfied thet under the old rates a proper depth of water could not be kept in the slips, and that the wharvés and piers were permitted to remain in many places unfit for use, were convinced of the justice of the present law, and presented no obstacles to its final passage. The old rates were fifty cents for the first fifty tons, and one shilling, or twelve and a half cents for each fifty tons above that; This method of estblishing the rates led to many small representations of the tonnage of vessels. As, for instance, if the actual measurement of a vessel was five hundred and fifty-five tons, her owners would register her five hundred and forty-nine tons; or, if she measured gix hundred and ten tons, she would be placed upon the books of the Custom House as being but five hundred and ninety-cight tons, by which operation twelve and a half cents a day would ‘de saved on her wharfage bill. ‘The new law places a ‘price upon every ton, to wit:— On cent @ ton up to two hundred, and one quarter of a cent for every ton in excess of that amount. The wharves and piers belonging to the corporation of this city, 28 has been frequently shown, did not yield three per cent upon their cost, but under the rates as now established, if pro- perly attended to, they wil! produce a handsome revenue to the city treasury; and even now the charges on ves- tels are considerably less than the tax that is put upon them in any other port of the least importance in the world. ‘The law algo authorizes the Board of Commissioners of Pilots to require the owners of piers and bulkheads to cause the same to be kept free from dirt, and to keep the slips. properly dredged, and for non-compliance with the orders of the Commissioners it imposes a fine of five dol- lars a day for every day such orders are disregarded, commencing one month alter the service of the order. It allows merchandise to remain upon the wharves forty-eight hours, after which the owners or leasees are authorized to charge five cents per ton for every day such merchandise is permitted to remain; but nothing is allowed to remain an encumbrance upon the wharves for a longer period than five days except merchandise and other property in- tended for transportation by canal boats, and also except- ing such merchandise as may be landed on a bulkhead for storage purpose by the owner or occupant of eaid bulk- head, which merchandise may be permitted to remain there for eight days. ‘The collection of the wharfage bills is enforced by previous Jaws, but the new bill provides that if the owner or cap- tain of a vessel neglect to pay the wharfage for twenty- four hours after it has been demanded, the amount may ‘be doubled and the bill becomes a tien upon the veseel. It is provided that outside vessels, whether made fast to another vessel or lying at anchor ina slip, shall pay one half of the established fates. ‘The law makes no alteration in the rates heretofore charged upon canal boats, lighters or barges. ZZrtal Navigation. BALLOON ASCENSION FROM THE PALACE GARDENS ON THURSDAY EVENING—PRACTICAL AND SCIEN- TIFIO HINTS IN FAVOR OF THE BALLOON AS 4 MAIL AND PASSENGER CONVEYANCE TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD, ETC. Mr. John Wise, who is at present ona professional tour in this city, states that it is possible to have the bal- Joon constructed in such # manner as to cause transat- lantic communication, and consequently «rial navigation from one continent to another, and clear round the globe. He also takes upon himself to fully understand and ex- plan the state of the systematic circulation of the atmo- sphere. After an experience of twenty-four years, ho feels convinced that there is a compound current flowing ‘between the latitudes of thirty and sixty from west to east, at s variable velocity of from fifty toone hundred miles per hour. He states that it is a well known fact that the trade winds rush the atmosphere into the equator from the northern hemisphere, caueing the current from east to west. This air, becoming raritled, rises aud rashes towards the poles. As it gets int6 the northern zone between 30 and 60 degrees, it is then deflected eastward. Portions of it moving northward, and revolving round the polar circle, make a return current from the northeast to the southeast, agd finally curves into the equatorial current again. In the temperate zone these currents | cross each other in-their locodromic curves, and produce & compound current from west to east, at the velocity be- forementioned. By rising in @ balloon at any point in the temperate zone, he sgys, we get into the current from the northwest or the southwest, or into the interme- diate or compound current resulting from the two. What, then, Mr. Wise very naturally asks, is to prevent a voyage in a balloon from New York to Spain, France, England, &c.? Nothing whatever is wanted but a substantial bal- loon, managed by akilfal hands, with barometer, chrono meter and compass, to chart the courses. Mr. Wise’s deas on this head are well worthy consideration, and only require to be practically tested in support of his acicntific ekill and abilities. His able and well digested report on the thunder storms have been published in the meteorological journals of Europe, and we need only mention that he carries with him the credentials of such scientific men as Professors Joseph Henry, J. R. Porter and Wetherall, who have borne their testimony to Mr. ‘Wise’s great capabilities on the subject above referred to. ‘Mr. Wise thinks that balloons are in no danger what- ever from lightning, they being non-electrics, and ther- fore not liable to the destructive effects of storms as ships are at ‘sea. This, he states, arises from the fact that the balloon bas only the single element to sail in,and par- takes of the same velocity with the storm. The progress of science and civilization, in the present age of the warld, {s entitled to the uses of the balloon, if not for heavy mef- chandise, at least it ought to be brought into requisition for the transmission of mails and passengers, as he fools convinced that a most profitable business could be carried on in the erection of a weekly balloon mai) from San Francisco to the Atlantic seaport cities. Practical and positive demonstration, he states, is the only thing re- quisite to convince the whole civilized world of its feasi- bility, and which is the express object of Mr. Wise’s visit to New York at the present time. One of our reporters had « personal interview with him, consequently we can the more confidently enunciate that we believe Mr. to be perfectly sincere in the statements he has made, and well acquainted with the scientific views he has put forth. We are also satisfied that if he be supported in a way that he is entitled to, so as to carry his object into effect, the present generation will happity discover that, after the locomotive, the balloon system will foliow in the train of scientific dis- covery, and enable us to have rapid rial communication with all parts of the civilized world. ‘The balloon ascent will take place on next Thursday from the Palace Gardens, which cannot fail to attract thousands of our citizens, and the lecture of Mr. Wise ‘will be celivered this evening. ‘Tam OreRd at THs Worrgr GARpEy.—‘‘Erpani’’ was given here last ight, with Madama Fabbri, Signors Stigelli and Weinlich.

Aunayy, April 16, 1860. ‘The appearance of the legislative halls this morning Dore the indication that the last sands wore running out— that the drogs have been reached. The appearance of the ‘Blouse indicated that a large number had left for home; turning their backs upon the soenes of their labors, had ‘returned to their families to seek the quiet and solitude of their homed. Both houses commenced their morning labors in the third reading of bills; whilst the L bby was in active operation upon their several plans. The city railroad forces were on hand at an carly hour. and their movements indicated a lively time before night ‘They were flying to and fro, gathering together their bat- talion in preparation for tho last finale struggle in the railroad warfare this winter. The battles that have been fought this winter have furnished no small amount of amusement to all lookers on—first, the different factions were Sighting each other, until Law, with his forces, took the Senate by storm, and was quickly driven back when he made his appearance in the Assembly. Those two ‘well managed skirmishes brought about a reconciliation ‘Detween the contending parties, and they had everything thetr own way ever since, until the Governor arrayed himself against them. Jt being generally understood that the Gcvernor would fire his gun some time to-day, the railroad manegers commenced rallying forces at an early hour to be ready for the charge. The ties fighting over the Almahouse prize were also on hand it en catty bour looking after their chances im the House. Governor Lynch and a retinuo of wire pullers were myatbeiously moving about, doing ali within their r to kill the bill and prevent its passege. It was, however, evident from their movements tnat they wore laboring under serious apprehensions of the result of the issue, Whilst,on the other band, Draper was moving about as lively as ever, evidently feeling that he bao a sure thing in the House, if they could only have time enough belore the adjournment. Other parties that had echemes in the mill were also watching the move- ments of the machine, but the gumber of assistants that each person bad was comewhat diminished from «heir re- cent force, evidently showing less interest. The arrival of the noon train, however, imtreaged the number largely. Every moye of the Governor's private secretary was watched with argus eye all the morning, in anticipation of the vetoes which were understood to be placed upon the programme to-day. At twelve o’clock the Sergeant- at Armes anpounced Private Secretary of the Gover- nor, when all eyes were turned toward him with the ex- pectation that he was the bearer of a veto; but their flut- tering hearta were soon quieted by the Clerk reading the messages, which eaid, “I hereby approve the foliowing ville.” This apnogncement caused @ genera! smile throughout the Assembly, and a general of there being a sell. The long list of bills was read tho- roughly, and closed up with the bill to confirm the Ninth avenue grant to George Law. The Governor signing this Dill and holding back alt others, created no little astonish. ment. Thus it seems that Jive Oak hasas usual played the winning cerd, and, notwithetanding all the bluster about him, was the first to draw his prize. About e half an hour later, the Private Secretary wac agein announced with a message and a number of bils tn his hands; there was, therefore, no mistake this time but that he had the veto message. was 8 stam- pede in the lobbies ahd a rush of the members to their seats, ready for any sction that might come up. The mestege was read, and it was found that he vetoed all the city railroad bills pacsed this winter but the Ninth avenue, which he had previously signed. The Governor ‘based his veto on the ground that they were unlimited grants, and although there was a great necessity for ‘more roads now, ten years from this time ts might render these roads unnecessary. As much as he considered it his duty to favor the construction of more railroads, he could not sanction these, because there had not been care enough in placing around them safeguards and Limitation of fare, &., for him to give them his ap- Mr. M fe moved that the communication be iald upon the table and printed forth with. ‘Mr. Robinson asked for the yeas and nays, and said he the motion would not be adopted. yeas and nays being ordered and called, the mo- tion was carried—ycas ¢8, nays 31—the largest vote that ‘was recorded on any subject this morning, there enovgh affirmative votes to pass the bill over the Gove- Bor’s veto.

The Kings county delegation seem determined not to die without kicking and many of them who have opposed this just measur will be annoyed more than a little in the next twenty- four hours. The enacting clause was stricken out of the bill to pro- vide for planting oysters, by a decisive vote in the Assem- Diy this evening. ‘The vetoes on the city railroads were taken up in the Assembly, at eight o’ciock, this evening.

All of the bills have thus been ruthod through the Assembly by a decisive rate. The Governor is of as much importance in the Assem- bly as a fly upon the trunk of an elephant. ‘The Senate, amongst other duties, took up the Houston strect railroad, and amended it so as to cover overy ob- section raised by the Governor against the other bills, and patsed it. It was afterwards sent to the Hotso and all the amendments concurred in, and then hurried off to the Governor. ‘The Conference Committee on the Tax Levy agreed on the bill as previously reported, including the street clean- ing clause with the restriction that the contract should not exceed arate of three hundred thousand dollars a year, and that the Mayor and Comptroller should ap- prove. Thesalary of the Aldermen and Councilmen is fixed at twelye hundred dollars. Five thousand dollars is inserted for the Seventh regiment; two thousand for Harlom river; forty thousand for the Fire Department, tea thousand !s eet apart for Kings Bridge road, and eighty thousand dollars for work done under the Commisgioners of Records. # When the same may be awarded by Judicial decision, this clause being drawn in conformity with the Governor's previous veto. ‘The dispute in regard to the famous car- riage way across the Park is eettled by a clause making an appropriation of twenty-three hundred dollars for paving, also legalizing it as a public street. The report of the Conference Committees was agrecd to by the So- nate. ‘The Senate and the House went through with the form of again insisiing upon their respective tol! bills and show- ing plainly that they did not intend to agree this year. Mr. Flagler stated that they bad tried their best to come to an agreement upon a toll bill, but had failed, and he would now recommend the adoption of the bill upon their files, providing for a direct tax of one and three. eighth mills. The bill upon his motion was taken from the Committee of the Whole and referred to the Com- Mittee of Ways and Means, with instructions to report complete forthwith. The report made the bill read tho third time and passed. This makes a tax of four mills that ig to be levied this year, besides the one-fourth of a mill provided for in the Albany and Susquebanna Rail- Toad. Senator J. M.
