TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New Yor, June 6, 1867, In the Fenaty of to-day occurs the following :— It appears by the annual report of the Police Commis ners that durmng the past twelve months there have been arly twenty-nine thousand complaints preferred against the city railroads, not one of which was prosecatedvy the Corporation Attorney. ‘The statement contained in the police report that none of these cases have been prosecuted is not only untrue, but was known to be so by the officer making the report at the time be made it. The facts {n relation to this subject were fully stated in the report of the Corporation Attorney for the year 1866, and are briefly as follows:—The railroad companies deny their lability under the ordinance imposing the li¢ense fee, and two of them have been declared exempt from the payment thereof by the final decision of the Court of Appeals, Suits have been brought, and have been pending for several months, against all the other delinquent companies to test their liabil- ity. The officer who the twenty-nine thousand cases has been repeatedly notified of Vhis fact and requested to have his evidence com- plete in the particular cases to be tried. This \was done because {t has been of common occurrence in the trial of other cases reported by this officer that prosecution failed on acoount of the insufliciency of the evidence furnished by the police. For instance, in some of the cases against railroad companies the police oficer reporting the offence was unable to state, when upon ‘Stand, whether the cars be- to the Sixth Avonue or to the Seventh Avenue Railroad, and added that he could not toll the difference between the cars of the two companies. An editorial article in one of daily Ba! pubkshed some time since, informed blic that th cit, had lost ‘the eomfortadle sum of gieaisoo"" tbe failure of the Corporation Attorney to prosecute # twenty-gino thousand caves. But the ter failed to jpclude in his computation the amount of costs which the City would be called apon to pay should the decision of the Court of Appeais be in favor of the defendaats in the twenty-nine thousand cases in uestion, ' When the next Police report there will doubt thousand less be twenty-nil por i isaiherry exeek and that ‘s Tanthtat vie duty is impossible to any one not with their immaculate beadqu: Be this as it T am de. arvers. termined that the city shall not, through any error of judgment in this Buresa, incur the risk of having to pay ‘the costs in twenty-nine thousand cares Cay when be just as efiicl bo awaiting the dever- and mination of the test cases now m the courts, M.

She has beon longer in practice, Ithink, than one-half of the members of the American Institute of Homeopathy. She is a very suc- cessful medical practitioner, a relined and elegant lady of high character, and successful in her practice, and is patronized by some of the highest families—the wealthiest families of Boston, (Applause. ) Dr. McMayos moved,to lay the report on the table, Aftor considerable dfscuasion the motion was with- drawn, Dr, MonGaw moved that the motion made at tho last meeting to lay on the table the application of Mrs, Jack~ #on to become @ member be taken wp and considered, Seconded and earried. Dr. Taver—I will now proceed to say that Mrs, Mercy B. Jackson has been longer in homeopathic prac- tice than the majerily of the members of this Institute, She is well educated, and a rogular graduate of a legality authorized medical college. in Massachusetts. ‘There are physicians present who. know her to be a lady of good education, high moral character and patronized by some of the best families in Boston. She last year petitioned to become a member of the American Institute; her petition was laid on tho table. She requested mo to. present her application this year, which I most willingly do, She has been under my care for the last several weeks und not able to be out of doors or do anythin for herself, That is cone consideration why am happy to make this application, Now, the question Whether or not fomaies shail be adritted to membersixp of 0.1r medical soctauies as physicians, 18 to be met by the allopaths as well as the hom@mopaths, We shall al! be reminded before tong, if we are not to-day, that the world moves—(great appiause)—and that while the world is physically revolving along its orbit other things are moving also.

In my opinion, Mr. President, it is uscless for us to contend against the manifest destiny— agains,what {3 obviousty a law of nature, Let me, as au iliustration of what is to come, ask you, Mr, Presi- dent, and gentlemen present, how long it-will be before Jaaic3, women, will have the right of suffrage in the Empire State, and in the metropotis of New York?

I ain in favor of all that is good, I am very well satisied, Mr, President, ‘that the female mind is naturatty well organized for the practice of medicine, and particularly for that minute and careful investigation of symptoms which we recog. nize as appertaming peculiarly to the profession and practice of homeopathic moadicfue; and though I am not ticularly the champion of Mra.

Dr. Hoxteald he haa been introduced to the lady some years ago, and was favorably impressed with her, but the qnestion was not so much in relation to Mrs. Jack~ son in particular as whether lady members should be ad- mitted to the society. He thought they alt had to meet tion in regard to arsoclating with females. ) He would vote in the affirmative, first, be. thought preity well of the female sex; se- conaly, of men, and third'y, the soclety would have to come to it. “B.

Dr, Doxnaupeonewas in favor of the resolution, There were wany times when a female physictan was prefera- bie toa male, especially in the treatment of diseases of their own sex.

A motion being made fora recess till two o'clock, it ‘was carried without opposition. APTRRNOON RESSION, At two o’ciock the members reassembled, and the Secretary commenced to call the roll. For upwards of an hour the greatest excitement prevailed as the mem- bers recorded their votes for or against the admission of women as members of tho society. sipaily the poll was declared closed, and the President announced that nixty-cight had voted in the nogative and fifty-six in the affirmative. The announcement was received with the grealest amount of erthugiusm, and fully dve minutes elapsed before the applause subsided, ‘Rue next business in order was the reading of the report on climecal medicine, by Dr H.

This design is after the. Roman Ionic echool of architecture, with the introduction of the French wausard roof, The front towards the City Hall presents a very clasical appearance, It consists of three princi- pal features, The centre one ig a large recess portico, with a drive way underoeath it, and having on either side of it equare and slightly projecting masses of masoury, These 1 features have the mansard roof carried a little higher than tue remainder of the bulld- ing, and aro finished off with dormer-windows, gtving them tho appearance of towers, ‘the drive way scems particolarly ted to the site, and while 1 does not take up a great deal of space it allows apparently ample room for the business of the Post Office. The corridor runs round the whole of the building, aud the stairways to the courts are extremely convenient. No. 12 This is a design in the Roman Corinthian style, and consists of four stories, The firatis of the rustic Asuler*pattern; the sécoud and third the same, finished with three-quarter Corintbian columns, while the fourth is finished with the Roman attic, decorated with ornamental scrolis, The general character of the building is similar to that of the Indostrial Exhi- ditions which have been receniiy erected in Europe. ‘The fagade fronting the HeRaxn ollce is squared off at each corner. are two.lurge stairways of a circular form, one on either side, at tho Ann street end of the build AS they appear upon the plan, these stair. ways seem likely to obstruct somewhat the trafic slong the corridor, No. 13. The design of this building, which is termed of acol fth— by the exhibitor a “project,’’ and not a plan, is of the Romane: order, aud is provably the most peculiar design sted, differing very widely from all others on exbibition. From the appearance of the drawing it seems ag though the buliding were tw be construcied chiefly of tron and glass. It resembles the old Exbil tion building in Montreal more nearly than anything else. Its most prominent feature ts an immense circular Beivedere tower, with a spiral staircase wiuding round the outside of it 'up to the lantern. .

The Interior of the building boars marks of careful arrangement.
