We give the following extracts from the report :— ‘THE KEW COURT HOUSE FRAUDS. ‘The association has been busily engaged, through its Bureau of Engineers, in in‘ wong the amount of brick, marble and iron used tn the erection of the new County Court House. Accurate measurements have been made of all'the details of the work, from the foundation to the roof, and exact calculations made of the amount of the various kinds of materials used. These results, wrought out upon the severest thematical basis, are to be compared with tHe amounts of the different mate- rials charged to the county and paid; and the associa- tion hopes thus to be able to- detect whatever fraud arises from the alleged furnishing of the vast amounts of the various materials that have apparently disappear- ed tn the County Court House job. The association has also been engaged in investigating the matter of the giving out of the iron, marble and other contracta in re- lation to the erestion of the building at the e¥orbitant rates at which thie county is now paying for the mate- vials used. PLUNDER FY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. The association has also been engaged ia investigating the overcharges of the special committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors to investigate the accusations of fraud or gross negligence made by Supervisor Smith Ely, Jr., against the Court House Committee. It can scarcely be credited, but, startling as it may soem, itis a fact that the special committee appointed to investigate these charges obtained from the county treasury for their expenses in thie investigation, lasting but for parts of twelve days, the enormous sum of $12,062 25. The association, startled at the gross enormity and fraud of this bN), sent a communication to the Comptrolier asking for the details of the above amount, to which communi- cation the following reply was received:— Crry or New Yorx, Departurnt or Fixawcn, } ComprroLier’s Orrice, Nov. 13, 1866. | 5 ion of New ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 15, 1866, The Council of Ministers under the presidency of the ‘Viceroy, have determined the bases and the organization of the new Ezyptian Council of Representatives, the cro- ation of which had béen for some time decided upon by his Highness, Tne members of the Council for Upper and Lower | “ith Sheersand aprtause, 3 Tho orchestr: began the National 5 Egypt, CairoyAlexandria and Damietia have already been | tain lifting revealed upon the neene.

The little trade there, is cannot well on without some facilities being afforded by bankers; but we understand that £610 £8 per bale isthe utmost rate that is now being advanced on document bilis—a rate which, so far as we can judge, is a very liberal one to set against the chan of the cotton market at the possibfe time of realization fonr months kence, ‘The banks having ceased from their race to see which pf them could tn the shortest period spread abroad theif capital and deposits, are now desirous of leaying themselves an ample margin on document cot. ton bills for the contingency of low prices, This being the attitude of the commyasion houses and the banks, the native deaters m Bombay must be left to ship om their own account, If they have confidence In the ab- surd prices they are now asking, No one can object to titis; and even if some of the up-country dealers were to betake. themselves to exporting cotton on their own account, it would probably be the commencement of a far more healthy state of things, The extrava- gunt prices that Have been current im Bombay have boen due in great measure to the reckless com- petition between commission houses themsolves and the high sealo of advance on document bills by some of the exchange banks, though this policy has been backed up immany instances by seriously mis- taken advice from home. All European houses and bankers are, however, now so thorouchly convinced of the seriows risk involved in committing themselves to encagements based on the high prices ruling in Bombay, that theg are not likely to be enticed from their resolu- tion by tHe few tempting telegrams which may come, 80 Jong as thers is any uncertainty respecting the American crop.

Rt, 4. The electors will be chosen among the inhabl- to the dealers and the ryots, and it would only be fair for those cl; 3 to have their share of loss. Although we think that the prices jus¢ now asked for cotton on Bombay Green are purely speculative, all but certain to bring “grief” to those who buy, we would not by any means be understood to support the notion that the cotton trade of Western India is in itself un- sound. It is merelv that the shares in its profit and loss have been unequally distributed, If Bombay cotton fetches 6d. per Ib. in Liverpool, that price wiil leave a good margin of profit to the cultivator over a very larce part of the presidency and central the provinces; but the ryot must be content to take such a price as willleave the necessary margin for the risks of exportation. No doubt the ryot himself would be content with a price equal to 120rs, to 150rs. in Bombay ; but it is the intermediate deal- ers who are not content with the reasonable profits of middlemen. These are the men who strive to get a larger share than any one else: through whose bands the cotton passes. It is this class who, just now when the season of business should qpen again, are render- ing sound trade imposa‘ble. European merchants are very little nearer to the cultivator now than when the American war began; but, seeing that speculative profits have gone, they must contrive to open up more direct C. B.

Yet we find the committee appointed to investigate fraud itself making the claim and pretence that $1,250 was honestly incurred for clerk hiro, $1,688 for a stenographer, and $7,718 7 for printing 6,000 copies of their report, and $900 for counsel feo.

HOW AND BY WHOM THE CITY 1s GOVERNED. e How and by whom ts this great city governed? It is not pleasant to apeak evil of persons holding official po- ons if wecan avoid it. But if we speak at all, and ak truthfully, we must say that no community of which history gives any account ever bad the misfortane to fall under the control of men so utterly destitute of every a principle, so grossly incompetent, and so thoroughly selfish, corrupt and wicked as are most of the rulers of this city. The mode of government devised by these men seems to have been expressly intended for the largest nutnber of offices and the most lavish use of money. They havo a- double government, each with ite long list of off- cials and salaries, one government being for the city, the other for the county, covering the same ground ex: actly. They divided these governments into sixteen de- partments, and in five of these ae are cightoen distinct burcaus, each with @ chief with large salary to negotiate a new loan with the houses of Barings Bros., of London, and Hope & Co., of Amsterdam.
