Such las been the effect of our foreign trado of late that, contrary to expectation, the specie in the banks and Sub-Treasury in this city in- creased noarly four millions and a half between the Ist of January and tho Ist of March—the amount having been $30,054,450 at the former dale, and $24,522,541 at tho latter, and this difference has been since widened by the receipt of $1,237,811 by the California steamer, against which we have only an export last week of $146,353. sudden cessation of the ex- port demand has indeed taken the speculative com munity by surprise—that is, the portion of it which looks b.yond the bulletin bonrd and weighs cause aud eflect.

There iano concealing the fact that our trade is lan- guishing, aud that if our iinports were larger our exports would be correspondingly stimulated and the internal commerce of the country promoted. We have been | drifting since the war began towards commercial | exclusivoness and the dangerous and mistaken doctrine of protection; and in so far our movement iA retrogade one, which, sooner or later, will have to be retraced. Our tariff is too high for the welfare of our foreign trade or the production of a large revenue; for dimishod consumption immediately follows upon execs- sive imposts, and duties that were intended to be pro- ductive prove to be prohibitive. The moncy market has been moderately active and mewhat unsettled by t calli in of loans, The resources of the national banks 1 e been reduced toa Sg low point by and they are, to a great Skfent, oat of the field as lenders. ‘The rate is pon miscellaneous collaterals ya governments have taken paper is closely scrutinized, strictly seven por cent but oxcrptional trans ix.

Thirty-seven vébsels of the Savannah fleet have ar- rived at this port, bringing twenty-turee thousand five hundred bales of cotton, and (hirteca mor: are expected to arrive with eleven thousand five hundred bales addi- tional, This will make an aggregate of thirty-five thoa. gand bales, and it is possible that a further quantity may be afterwards shepped from the same port. Nearly if not alk the cotton in quostion has been seized by the government without any acknowledgement of the rights of private ownership, and it is alleged that no account of the separate lots seized has been kept by which the clares of individuals may be hereafter settled, should the government show a disposition to recognize, Ii is represented by those professing to represent the views of the administration, that the city of Sa nah was captured and not surrendered, that, therefore, all the property found Docame prize of war, This distinction, however, is not entitled to mach consideration in studying the effect of wholesale confiscation upon the Southern mind. Hence! forward, unlesy the government professes Itself ready to respect the private property of individuals who have taken no active part in the rebellion, the cotton, tobacco and othor produce of the South in immediate danger of capture from the rebels will in all probabitity be destroyed, where opportunity permita, and, at the same time, @ blow will be dealt at thy dev ment of Union sentiment from (ho Ri nde to Virginia. The government is {ncontestibly in great need of money, and there is no doubt whatever that the proce ds of the captured cotton will be useful to it; but against temporary benefit it | must not forget to weigh ultimate consequences, and it {s soriously to be questioned whether the policy of | ignoring tho rights of private property owners is preforable to @ prompt acknowledgement of their claims, This would not necessarily involve the immediate payment of such, as @ special form of non- intorest bearmg bonds, convertible after the termination of the war into Interest bearing accurities, might bo fasued to moot the necessities of the case; and, although and therein this plan would not be likely to fully satisfy tho Southern ownors, {t would be sufficient to prevent the doatruction which i# now vhreatened, and at the same time remove that bitterness of feeling which the Savan- nah cotton seizure has undoubtedly prodaced in minds that would have otherwise inclined towards the national government, ‘We observe that a Committee on Mines and Mining hag been added to tho standing committees of the Senate.

To remc- dy some of the acknowledged evils which unavoidably anxious for their fair fame, and at the same time do- sirous for tho succession of their ordor unimpaired to other times, adopted an ordinance ‘‘For the Better Regu- lation of the Firemen of the City of Now York,’ which ordinance the ‘Mayor, Aldermen and Commonal- ty of the ‘city, in Common Council convened,” ratified on tho ist ‘of December last, This ordinance has been since then the fundamental law of the department, though not legalized, and it is bolieved that it will remody all the evils which the op- ponents of the department can charge to tho inefficiency of the working of the present syet¢m. With this conviction Usey have submitted it to the Legislature, and pray that it may recsive the sanction of and be transformed into an act, to be entitled an act for the better regulation of the firomen of the city of Now York, and thus to render nugutory and unnecoasary the bill which has passed the Sonate, “To croato a Metropolitan Fire Department and establish a fire department therein.’”’ The advocates of the old and of the new system have assembled here in great force. A committee, represonting bankers and insurance companies and other citizens, are here op- posing the “ordinance’’ and supporting the Sonate bill. While, on the other hand, the department is ropresented by Chief Exineer Decker and other heads of the organ- ization. On Tuesday last tho committee to whom the whole subject had been referred met in the Court of Appeals P, M., to hear argument of counsel. After some preliminary talk a3 to the manner of pro. should first be heard. ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF TAB FIREMEN'S ORDI- NANOR, Mr, John Sedgwick, in support of the Ordinanoo bill, procseded to addros tho committee. The present sys- tem of a voluntary fire organization should continue till at loast some schome of improvement was settled upon, Tho plea in favor of & measure which proaontod greater economy was unsupported by facts or figures, sofar as the Senate bill wont. The whole desiro of the opponents of the present system scemed to centre in the scheme of a paid organization, and yet in the bili that had passed the Senate there was no provision fer a paid de- partment. The Senate committee had testified to the personal good charactor, as a body, of the firemen of the city of New York, though it was charged that the lustre of the earlior days of tho dopartmont had becn somewhat tarnished of late. Certainly that was not a circumstance peculiar or confined to the Firo Department. It wascon- tended, on tho other side, that undor another syetem better order and less frequent scenes of tumult would prevail. It was also contondod that, because the pre: authorities of the Fire Department had fraraed an ord nance to render ita more porfici system, it was to bo conceded in consequence that in the past they had neg- lected their duties, This was a vory untenable and in- consequential course of reasoning. But, as ho baid be- while their opponents advocated a paid departmont, had mado no provision for establishing such in their bill. The billonly provided for the payment of four commissioners an annual salary of $5,300 each, and this body, he would show, was entirely’ unnecessary to the officiency of a fire department. The general statement + the elties of New York and met had outgrown tho present sysiom was very inconclusive and unmeaning. The complain! ‘too, mado of noise and uproar on the stroets on the soul of the uiarm bel! amounted to very little. But still, if it has been made a matter of importance to discontinue the fire boll, it might naturally be supposed that some pro- vision would be made for it in the bill, which is not the case, The substitution of horses fur hand traction was also designed as a reform, and yet no provision is made for such roform in tho bill. Tho city of Sees vy had beon cited as an example of the success of a paid depart- mont at a very small cost, the annual expenses of the fire department of that city being fixed at £3,000, or $15,000. It proposed emulate the example of Liverpool in this respect of economy; but the salaries of the four commissoners alone was fixed by this economy br at = $14,000—within $1,000 tho stated expenses of Livi |. Tho ‘report of the Senate committees (which be fe quoted at length, in- dulging in criticixm upon the report and su; ons of the Enginecr of the Fire Department of Cincinnati), closed by saying that thero were parties who feared that difficwitics night be cncountered if xo radical and fan damental @ change was now made, and that if these fears were well founded they alone offered a strong argument in favor of auch achange; that notwitstanding the com- mittee believe that while tho flromen were devoted to tho department, it, as a whole body, would ylold to their devotion to the law, He contended and submitted that no higher compliment could be paid, or one more deserved, to the firemen of New York, as brave In peri! and in danger, as they have ever been’ found pliant and obedient to the laws. "But there was one measure in the Proposed béll which the firemen could not or ought not to be asked to overlook. It was that no provision was made for the widows or orphans; that their rights and claims upon the department, and pon the community at large, were neglected and unthought of. This one fact pcrliaps more than any other prompted the action of the flromon in th's matter to respectfully op- the tnnovation proposed and to submit to ordinance under which the department was at present controlied and directed was all that was needed or could bo desired by the great mass off heir follow citizens. Besides the proposed act was most crude in conception and meagre and imperfect in its details; that no vitality could ever be given to it, It was #0 worded in one of its sections that tho whole four commissioners could be either alt appointed from New York or all frem Brooklyn—commissioners who shall form a Metropolitan Fire Department, and who shail have control and management of all oflicers, men, prop- erty, measures and action for tho prevention and extin- goishment of fires within the raid district. Mr, Sedg- wick contended that in certain contingencies the com- missioners might all be appointed from Brooklyn, in which case they wowd completely control expenditure to be levied on the city of New York. ‘They would thus have the unlimited power over the appropriations, and they coull spend as much monsy os they pleased. The idea of economy was absurt from the Feading of the bill; for under it they might give the foremen $1,600 » year cach, and the enginecrs $10,000, and soon. He contended that tho ordinance of the cor- poration, of the firemen's bill, would secure ail the im- provements required, id make the department both eminently usetul and creditable to the city of New York, It was a practical bill, coming from men who had daily experience of the subject matter of the bill, Thoy knew the requirements of such a department, and their exporience taught thom sall that was necessary, and this they now asked the Legislature appointment of officers and their wore defined, a provision whi away with the practice of the past, vi Chiet Engineer and other offi gw votes of the department for their continuance in office, There was besides practical economy in the bill; it pee vided for the prompt repair of all apparatus,’ white It litnits the Chief Engineer to disbursements for such to $75 for any particular repair, Instead of the assistant ongineors being elected from « goneral ticket they must be elected from the district in which they reside, and for duty within that district. If it was the desire of the Legisiatare to pass ‘stablishing economy’ wnd one which will secure ebiciency uo the department, he elaimmed that this bill did all this, as its provisions were all specially drawn to secure that object, There was also « gechon to secure good order and behavior among the mombers, It shall be deemed a misdemeanor for @ member to apply to the Common Council Wo avert from them the puntshment of neglect or other violations of their dui Rio contended that, taken all in all, the bill et ald requirements of an efficient department, ~*~ he citizens of Now York could desire in the wiy jency to moet the growing need of the city at times of fire, He would roreryo {an or remarks tll it he had Lourd the arguments of (he opponenta of the bill, ADDKESS OF MR.

In 1798 the pen St” ag ser AER among 1c wirchase and hold certain real estate to a Sit cate ut which has been from time to time increased by va- rious successive statutes, making an imp-rium in Le goed acorporation within tho ration of the city of New York. The statutes provide that every company consisting of more than eighteen members shall select two of their number to constitute component parts of the of representatives of the Fire Dopartmont; that other companies which shonld consist of less than eighteen members should have tho right to elect one representative, and that the board of representatives thus elected the firemen should oloct a prosident, vice president, treasurer, secretary and a collector of the Fire Department, and that they should annually olect three trustecs—being nine at first, three going out on rotation and three boing elected annually, to b> known as the board of truste:s of the Fire Department, This is the corporation known as the Fire Department, and which possesses corporate power and priveliges, and which has hitherto had control of the Fire Department fund. So fur as these officers are concerned, and tho menagement of the fund, there was no intention to med- die with them or it, Under the statutes 0° 1798 and 1813 the Fire Departinent of the city of New York went along, the evils of the system developing them- selves as tho city incroated in size and population. And it was at last discovercd that the Common Council, who had tho right to pass upon tho question whether tho members elected to the various companies should be admitted or rejected, wero not acting properly in this matter, and a board of commiesioncrs wore appointed us a panacea for these evils. This board wasto hear und to try a complaints against firemen, Tt was vested with the powor to con- firm or reject the election of firemen, and it was eup- pd, as these fire commissioners were to be respecta- hergotic men, that they would cure the ovils that grown up in the system. But the difficulty was just ne diffloulty that stili exists. ‘These very commission ora were thomeclves the croation of the dépariment—tho ge. How could an ener. getic and just administration be expected from men who wore depending for their continuanc: ia office upon tho influence of the very men upon whom they were to #it in judgment? It could not be expected, and the fire commissioners were found not to serve the purpose de- signed, and they got up another honrd tn 1861 or 1862— the board of commissioners of appeal—who were to con- firm or modify or reverse the dec.sion of the board of -firo commissioners, F how were they to be ol cted? By adificront constituency? Oh, no. The old board of Tepresontatives, erestod i 1798, must alvo elect tho board of commissioner of appeal—tive coming back t the evil again, The election of olfivors designed as censors, and as a check to the cvils of the system, being the creatures of those upon whose offences they wero to pass jude mont. Did ever sane men draw up a statute, meant to supply a check upon a body of men in such language and with such provisions as this? ‘That is one branch of the dopartment. The practical working ead of the department is an officer called the Chief En- gineer. How is he elected? Is there any chock upon him? No. He is eleeted by tho popular vote of the firemen. In 1867, following out tho provisions which had been contained in other charters, tho Clof Engineer was made, not ouly the head of the deps ment, but the head of the burean of the doparti the office of the “treot Commissioner, wh'ch Is the de- pariment having by law the power to furn'sh all the sup: Ee noceseary for the department. So wo have got thio ‘notty complication. Board after board, commissioners piled on commissionors, and bureau after bureau; und yet the same evils oxist, with # ruther increasing and growing virul nee, ‘The body is composed of near gand members, having onc hundred and twenty-five machines in all, exclusive of~tenders and hose carte, with one’ hundred amd twenty-five engine houses, which lowers to the eity of New York. This isa large and powerful organization, and we feel tho re- sponsidilitios wo incur when we come here to speak agaiust it, But we believe the circumstances justify our action in the matter. We know we are right, and be- lieving #0, we have come here hi to get some relict for the admitted evils which exit. is apparent that #0 cumbersome @ Machine as this, with all ite various boards of representatives, of commissioners, and burcaus and officers must work badly—and. tbe facts ull show that it does work badly, And yet, with all this pose ble, four thou- | complicated human machinery, there is:no responsibility. anywhere, The oflicers, by Jaw, are all fir meu, und hence the question is not whether a man charged with malpractices or misdomeanor Is guilty or innocent, but whether he is a prominent member, whose influouce with his fellows may affect their future election and con- tinuance in office. A greater check than is thus afforded is required for the prevention of evils, We want a little more of the two or three man power, and not a dictator of boards and bureaus toshuffle off the re bilities that should attach to them as good citizens. fo want a board who, knowing its duty, will perform it. Nota board de- ig for its existenoe on the constitueney over which in is called to exercise its functions. We have not got that in the city of New York, and we shallnot have it so Jone as this system ix continued of elyting.all these men and otlicers by a body, the members ‘of which they arc to try, to supers is and to govern. ‘Me.

Chiof Engineer (ristngy—t understand the gentleman to have said that the department was not conducted to the satisfaction of the Citizens’ —- ‘The Chairman's call to order interrapted Mr. Decker from proceeding. Mr. Lawrence, resuming—One great ovil of the aystem is that the present force is excessiv9; that there is a ‘at crow? of firemen at every fire, and that they inter. fore with and obstruct cach other, greatly to the injury and detriment of the citizens and to the destruction of prop- erty in varions ways; with the evil arising from the rushing of a crowd of men and boys atfoll apond Seve the streets at the first ringing of an alarm bell, and of the noiae and racket and disturbance intho strects on such occasions every citizen is conversant. Then, again, there is the principal claim put forth by tke advocates of the present system—that it is a voluntary department. =_ und-r this garb and guise of a voluntary organization, {i fea paid and an excessively paid department, a8 will’ be seen from the apy ations for last year alone, which amounted to $616,976 28. It was absurd and ridiculous to talk of itas an unpaid body of men.

Mr. Lawrence—Was not reflecting on individuals, but on the system. He continued to read from Chief Decker's report, partionlarizing the companies in whose houses bunkers most did congregato, and commentiny upon the bad habits and evil practices engendered an: encouraged theroby.
