\per erection of a new City Rall upon this aite, authorizing the Mayor, Aldermen and Perey a rae. for teas e som not ge two millions of dollars, by the creation of @ stock to be called “New City Hall Stock of the City of New York,” and directing the Board of Supervisors to raiso b; tax a sum sufficient to meet the interest on suc stock. ‘The Common Council having failed to raise the mousy, aa wuthorized | by the not just ferred to, the Legislature in 1858 passed an act repealing the act of 1857, and authorizing tie Mayor to nominate, and the Board’ of Supervisors to confirm, not more than three Commissioners to superintend the erection of a new City Hall, and authoriaing the Supervisors to raise a sum for that purpose, not exoseding $250,000, by the creation Of m public stock. On the 27th of April, 1858, the Board Sb earremne pointed a committee to take into eon- ration the subject of anew City Hall, On the 4th of May tl yor transmitted to the Board a and on the 4th of November, 3 were, Sapervisors, who had tho subject in charge, reported that, after having given the subject great consideration, and after ‘consultations ‘with the Commissioners, they had arrived st the conclusion that the sum authorized by the act was not only inadequate to Ssspenieen beet tacistan Sede Teer raorions commended an application gislature for a modification of the act of 1858, 80 as to embrace certain essential provisions of the act of 1857. and to Ce tpegs toi such @iditional om of money as m\ required, inthe manner provided by law. “On January 11, 1859, a communication was re- ceived from the Commissioners, setting forth that they had made inquiries of the judges and other officers as to the room ee the purposes proposed by the act; ‘that it would require a building at least 375 feet long b: 181 feet wide, two stories igh, with basement and cei- lar, costing at least a million of dollars, and that of Course they could not for $250,000 erect such a building a8 was needed, On Muy 3, 1859, the Legislature having failed to supply the deficiencies’ of the act of 1853, the e of Supervisors adopted a resolution calling upon the Commissioners to proceed with the performance of their work. In reply to this resolution tho Commissioners stated that they had obtained the opinion of counsel that they had no power or right under the act to erect @ section or portion of the ‘duilding, without building it entire, 80 as to accommo- date all the courts and departments specified in the act; and that, therefore, they could not proceed to erect the Duilding, as the sum authorized was greatly inadequate for the purpose. The Board then mado further apy lica- tion to the Legislature for authority to raise a million of dollars to erect a new City Hall, but this application was. refused, In march, 1860, James Salmon, Fsq., was ap- pointed an additional commissioner upon the nomination his Honor, the present Mayor. In May, 1860, the Su- pervisors, by their committee, gommunieated with the city authorities for the purpose of obtaining leave tocrect in the Park a Court House Ra eth 3 been authorized by the Tozislature to raise $100,000 for that purpose), Dut to this communication, 1 understand, no reply was ever received. Thus it will be seen that the Board of Su- Pervisors had done ail in its power, and \sed every effort to Provide adequate accommodations for the courts, and that although unsuccessful it was not its fault. The act of NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1861, - ¥% per cent; Galena, Ilinois Central guaranteed and Toledo were % a1 per cent better. Pacific Mail rose 2 per cent. State stocks were in more active demand at an improvement, At the second board the market was all strong. Erie preferred was in demand at49—an advance of 114 per cent. Next week, the new company will enter into pos- session, and the seven per cent on this stock will be certain thereafter. Galena was also wanted at an advance over the morning's price. The general look of the market leads to the opinion that we may have an active upward movement, especially if General McClellan undertakes and is successful in military movements.

That enlightened sovereign has undertaken to foster the manufacturing indus- try of France under a free trade policy, with a view of competing with England in all classes of manufactured goods. In order to compel the French manufacturers to do their best, many classes of British goods are now admitted to the French markets free, or on payment of a small duty. The consequence is that the French manu” factarers are already producing articles fully equal, and in many cases superior, to the best products of British industry. In the present state of our foreign relations the opportunity afforded by the rivalry between France and England ought not to be neglectéd. By giving a preference to French goods we have it in our power to establish the French manufactures on a substantial basis. In ordinary years we take from Great Britain about $70,000,000 worth of manufactures of 1857 was repealed in 1858. The act of 1858 was not only | wool, iron, cotton and silk. All these Megat ia its eee, pian the piled dep eeattee goods are made in France as well. The was done in consequence of the application of the Super- visors for leave to build upon city property having met ‘with no response, and the act giving the Board no au- thority or meana to purcbase Jand. 1n 1861 the Supervi- ‘sors again presented their claim to the Legislature, and made application for authority to acquire lands in the city of New York for the purpose of aCourt House. This application was granted, and, by an act passed April 10, 1861, the Supervisors were authorized empowered to take such lands as they wight deem ni for the of a fours Howe. Immediately’ upon tho penmags of this act, the Board took the steps necessary to ac- quire the title to the lands within this inclogure. On the [th of September last the Commissioners appointed to tako the lands made their report, which was on the same day confirmed by the Supreme Court, and the title to the Jand thus vesied in the county. Having thus acquired the land, tho next step was to proceed with the building. By the act of 1861, Board was authorized to raise the sum of $50,000 in addition to the $100,000 authorized by the act of 1860 (making in all $150,000). This sum, #4 is apparent to all, is entirely inadequate to the erec- tion of such a building as ts required by the wants of the city, and such as is now in progress, The. Super- visors, after mature reflection, arrived at the con- clusion that, in order to prevent the delays and increased expense necessarily attendant upon pre- paring completed plans and providing for tho performance of the work by contract, it was bost tohave the work commenced under the direction of a vommittee of their Board, and proceeded with by day’s work during the fall and winter months. have pre- pared complete plans and specifications and tohave given the work out by contract under the present circum. stances would have almost of necessity have delayed the commencement of the work until next spring, and every day lost in the finishing of the building is an addi- tional loss to the county and the public. With only B150,000 no contract could have been made for the per- formance of the whole work, as no contractor would bo willing to make his pay dependent upon the action of fature Legislatures, and if he did it would only be upon reeciving a sum sufficiently large to indemnity him for all the losses and delays which he might incur in consequence. The Board could have made no contract for the entire work without making the payment of all sums over $150,000 dependent upon such contingencirs. Be- sides, as i¢ well known, the present season is one in which bpilding materials of all kirids and labor aro exceedingly . No contractor would have estimated for this work without making ample allowance for the probable rise of both materials and labor. To secure to the county the Denefit of this reduction in Jabor and materials was an ‘additiorial resgon for the Supervisors undertaking the work themseives. Acting upon these views, the Board, on the 30th of Augast, in anticipation of the procureracat of the land, authorized their committee to employ an chitect to prepare plans for the building, and to proceed with al! possible despatch in the ereotion of the buiiding. Accordingly, on Monday, Sepiember 16, the ground was broken and the work commenced, since wiich time it has proceeded with all possible desp: Mr. Stewart said that the-materials purchased by the + pervisors were procured on much more favorabie terms, and ataless per centage, than the like materials for uny other building, either public or‘private, in this city, and if the work. were finished at @ corresponcing price it would be the cheapest building of its size and character in New York. On October 30, and whilst the work was in rapid progress, a communication was received from the Comptroller (enclosing one to him from the Corporation Counsel) casting some doubts upon the right of the Su- pervisors to proceed with the building, and claiming that the right to suporintend the erection of the building was vested in the Commissioners appointed under the act of 1858. The Supervisors, having no ‘sonal interests to subserve, and being actuated entirely and solely by the desire to see the building finished in the most expeditious and best manner, and being anxious to avoid delay, on the 2d day of November requested the Commission- ers, under the act of 1858, to take charge of the erection of the Court House; since which time the work has been done under their superintendence. In conclusion, I would say that the building, when com- pleted, will, J think, surpass, in ite architecturo, in+ its adaptation for the purposes for which it was designed, and in the stability of sts construction, any building in possession of the city or county governments; and that, when finished, it will afford ample and sufficient accom- modation for ail the courts and the increasing legal busi- ness of the county, and that no longer will:judges be comp lled to resign on account of illy ventilated court roums; that ng more complaints would be hear: of the offluvia arising from engine houses; that no more courts will have to adjourn for want of rooms; but that, with th» increased facilities for transacting business, our courts will be able to see the end of their calendars, and a lawsuit be reached and tried within an ordinary life- time. When such a day shall have arrived it may be well said that a legal milienium shall have dawned upon ‘our city. (Applause.) ‘This terminated the ceremonies, and the assemblage dispersed. See ORR TSE CR ST FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘Taurspay, Dec. 26—6P. M. The street has been kept in a fever all day by contradictory despatches relating to the surrender of Mason and Slidell. People in Wall street have been satisfied for some time that they would be givenup if the British government demanded it; not because their arrest was illegal, but because the humiliation of their surrender seemed a lesser evil at the present time than a war with England. Henoe the rumor of their departure in the Europa seemed probable enough, and it had its effect upon business. Money is easy enough at seven percent. The principal complication in the money market arises from the uncertainties attending the position of the banks. Some of the private bankers have with- drawn their fands in gold; others are notifying their customers that they must either draw their balances in gold now, or be satisfied with ‘“cur- rent funds” when the banks suspend. The Sub- Treasurer paid the banks $215,000 this morning, and drew upon them for $3,500,000, payable to- morrow. The gold drawn from the Sub-Treasury does not find ite way back into bank, as it ‘used to do, nor will it, until the present period of uncertainty ends. There is just now, in busifiess circles, much complaint of the want of foresight to all sense of honor’ prove that Gen. Scott is the bearer of a message tending to show that France is still faithful to her old traditions, and may be relied upon as a friend in the hour of trouble, it would be legitimate and wise to take into, consideration the expediency of column whic! Payments, including re adoption of a system of differential duties, discrimi- nating in favor of French products, would secure to France the monopoly of our markets, and would save the English the afflictions consequent upon a course of dealings with ‘‘a people so incurably lost ourselves, Should it an early alteration of oumtariff, with a view tu the establishment of closer commercial relations with France. No nation can be expected to trade on as good terms with its enemies as with its friends.
