Disturbances on the Midland "Railroad. Arraignments Before a United States Com- missioner—The Parties Held to Bail. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. In the matter of the Leland Brothers bank- ruptcy Judge Blatchford rendered a decision yes- terday refusing to allow A. T. Stewart, Paulding, Campbell & Co. and Monteith & Co, to prove debts against the bankrupts which are secured by cer- tain bonds, which bonds, im <urn, are secured by mortgages on the Grand Union Hotel of Sara- toga. The Juage retuses to allow them to prove these debts because he holds that the mortgages were made ‘‘in fraud of the Bankruptcy act,” and flo not constitute a prior valid lien on the prop- erty in question. George S. Wright, instead or Francis T. Wright, Was the principal witness examined in the suit brought by the alleged surviving widow and chil- dren of Captain John T. Wright to recover the por- tions they claim due them from tho Captain’s ea tate, All the testimony has been submitted in the case and the counsel are to pass up their points, Which Judge Van Brunt will examine preliminary to his final decision. BOWLING GREEN SAVINGS BANK, Whe Suit Aagainst Walter Roche to Re- cover Alleged Misappropriated Moneys of the Bank—Verdict for Over $94,000 Against Him. At length, after a week of closely rigid exami- Bation of witnesses and the long drawn out | speeches of the oppusing counsel in summing up, and an unusually prolonged and elaborate charge, the suit brought by Shepherd F. Knapp, receiver of the, Bowling Green Savings Bank, againat Waiter Roche has ended. The suit was to re- cover $66,200 alleged to have been appropriated by Mr. Roche from the deposits and converted to his own use. Alter the commencement of the Wial leave was given to amend the complaint by adding $11,408 30 to the original claim, The trial began @ week ago yesterduy in the Superior Court, | before Judge Spier, Messrs. Jonn E. Deveiin, Charles E. Miller and W. C. ‘Trull being counsel or the plain, and Mr. Jonn ©. Carter and John F, McUowan representing the defeuce. A leye number Ol Withesses were examined during the trial, and in examining the books of the detunct bank. On the part oi the defendant it was contended tuat the amounts alleged to have been taken by him were a.terwards returned. On Tues- day the case was summed up by Mr. Oarter for the @eiendant, and by Mr. Develin for the receiver. While the former . insisted and endeavored to show that the evidence proved that Mr. Roche’s transactions in connection with the bank were of @ periectly Jegitimate and honest character, Mr. Devel claimed that the evidence revealed the most gross aiid culpavie | conversion of the money of depositors, aud sucn betrayal of trusts, and, as he characterized it, rub- Dery 01 the poor who had here placed ail their hard earnings, supposing them in safe hands, he de- nounced in terms of most eloquent and scathing Febuke, Judge Spier yesterday gave his charge to the jury. In tne course ot iris charge he commented Upon, us he designated it, the ‘‘extraordinary neg- ligence and inattention” which the evidence dis- Closed in the management and transactions of the collapsed bank. ‘The plainest provisions of the charter had been, he said, disregarded, gud the safeguards whicn the Legislature intended to provide for the depositors seemed to have been systematically set at naught by every officer and trustee and servant of the institution. He. how- ever, cautioned the jury against veing influencea by any other consideration than that of doing exact justice to the hort time, when they retuined with a verdict for $94,673 90, being the full amount ciaumed with interest, As might be supposed, the verdict gave rise to varied and some- what conflicting comments. Most pronounced \t@ great victory for the prosecutors; but some feclared that of Hank Smith, wuom it was iatended, \t was said, to call as a witness for the defence, had lived, that the result would have been different. Ajlarge number expressed pleasure at the tact that through this result nearly $95,000 would be added to the tunds in the hands of the receiver for the benefit of the de- ffauded depositors, and a hope that this is one Ol the cases where the “law's delays” are ended for the needy depositors, who, by these very delays have so long been kept out o1 their money, Which this verdict declares the defendant appro- Tiated to hisown use. As usual, however, there followed the customary effort to effect a stuy of judgment, and the Judge granted until to-morrow Morning jor argument of a motion to send the case to the General term for reversal on the ex- ceptions taken during the trial, THE MIDLAND RAILROAD DISTUR- BANCES, Parties Charged with Interrupting the Mails Brought Before a United States Commissioner=The Proceedings Against Them. Deputy Marshals Barnard and Hackett came on to this city yesterday with Ira Luddington, A. Goo- ney, J. Cunningham and S. R. Rogers, wno are charged with having stopped a mail train on the New York, Oswego and Midland Railroad. The accused appear to be very intelligent men, and are represented to have hitherto conducted themselves in @ very well behaved manne! The railway company, when they found out that they could not pay thelr laborers in money, issued road scrip to them. This scrip, it appears, turned out to be worthless. The company then called im this scrip, and in its place issued certificates of indebtedness, which Mr, John D. Stevens, one of the receivers of the road, informed the laborers Would sell 1ox ninety-five cents on the dollar, On this representation the men took those certifi. cates, but they soon ascertdined that they were of No More value than the a ip. ‘The men, there- fore, having uo money to provide supplies for their lamilies, iniormed the compauy that they must have money for that purpose. The reply of the com- pany was tuat they had no money, and that the men must do the best they could with the certificates, Then commenced the alleged interierence with the trains of which the company complain. The cer- tificates do not specily auy time ior payment, but merely say that they represent the amount of money stated on their face. Luddington says that certificates to an exceedingly large amount have been issued, and the others declare that they knew it was an offence to interfere with the pas- page Oi A mali train. They merely detached irom the train the carriages that were not in use in the transportation of the mails. * The delendants were taken before Commissioner Shields yesterday and charged with the interrup- tion of the maiis, as above stated. The Commis- sioner, while stating that the iniormation, go far gs it had come to his knowledge, would seem to lead to the conclusion that the men had not been fairly dealt with, observed that in the discharge of his duty a8 a magistrate he must hoid them to bail in the sum of $260 each for examination. Some time since Judge Blatchiord issued an or- der forbidding all persons from interiering with the road. Yesterday Mr. Green, counsel for the receiver, obtained an order requiring Rogers and Cooney to show cause why an attachment should not be isi them, Yesterdaythey went ‘nto Court and made no objection, The attach- Ment is returnabie to-day.

It was a closely contested tial, and the summing up by the opposing coun- sel, Mr. Albert Stickney pepearing, for the plaintit, and ——- Pierrepont and A. J.

The jary gave a verdict for the plaintiff tor $13,650. An ‘Appeal was immediately taken from the verdict, toirty days allowed in which to make a case. The main point soe which the appeai was based ‘was that the verdict was contrary both to the evi- dence and the law.

Willam Hawley, alias William Henry Hamilton, convicted of bigamy on Tuesday, was on the open- ing of the Court yesterday morning brought up for sentence. His counsel urged that the Court should deal lentently with the prisoner on account of his great affection for his mother. In passing sentence, Judge Brady said that he did mother. The prisoner should have thought of ns mother and desisted from his course of crime, If he had really had the affection jor his mother claimed he would not now be betore this Court to poy, the penalty of @ life of infamy. You have been Down (addressing the prisoner) as “‘shanghae Morris.’” ‘The Prisoner—Never, sir. Judge Brady—Did you never give the name of David Marun? The Prisoner—No, sir. Judge Brady—I am sorry to say that you tell that which is untrue. I lave taken pains since the adjournment of the Court to investigate your character. There 18 no doubt.but that you are a noted panel thief Iam sorry to be compelled to way this of you, but sucn is tne jact. Your Marriages were consummated in order to enable you to practise the panel game, There is Dot a single mitigating circumstance in your case. You have only escaped punishment thus far be- cause your victims were men of apparent respect- ability, who would sacrifice everyihing rather than the iniquities of the panel game and the character of the prisoner a3 of the meanest and most despi- cable sort, the Judge imposed upon him five years at hard labor tn the State Prison. A Young Man’s Narrow Escape. Patrick Clark, a youth of nineteen, was to have been tried on an indictment for munslaughter in the first degree for the alleged killing of Mrs. Mary Smith, in November last, at the tenement house ton street, Through the efforts of his counsel, Mr. John 0. Mott, a plea of guilty of Mansiaughter in the fourth degree was accepted. In moving for sentence Mr. Lyons, Assistant District Attorney, insisted that the full penalty of the law—two years in State Prison—should be meted out to the prisoner, dn reply Mr. Mott made a most fervent appeal for leniency. He said that Clark struck the deceased but one blow, or slap rather, on tne face; that on the night in question he had gone to bed in the room Where Mrs. Smith and others were drinking and playing carcs; that she insisted on his geiioe, up when he struck her; that aiter her leath her body was found covered with other bruises and that the post-mortem examination showed most of her organs in a very diseased con- dition, He alluded to the prisoner's youth and urged that he be sparea the ignominy ol going to State Prison. Judge Brady was evidently influenced by the entreaties of counsel, and, alter dwelling upon the lesson he hoped this would be to the young man, he septenne nim to the Penitentiary for nine mon’ The Tompkins Square Riot. Apphcation was made through a writ of habeas corpus to secure the release of Christian Meyer, committed for alleged assault and batiery on the lice while suppressing the riot on tne 13th of january in Tompkins square, On the statement of Mr. Lyon that toe case was under investigation in the Court of General Sessions Judge Brady de- cided that the See must be made before the latter Court, and dismissed the writ, COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. “Long Mary,” a Professional Thief, Pleads Guilty to Grand Larceny, Before Recorder Hackett. ‘The only case disposed of in this Court yester- day, the other cases on the calendar having been postponed in consequence of the absence o a@has “Long Mary.” She was charged with steal- valued at & Uo., 68 Walker street. Mr. Orlando Stewart stated to the Court that big client had served @ term in the State Prison and was undoubtedly a thief; that sue was guilty Of this specific charge, but was led into its com- mission by other parties, who wished to revenge themselves upon her, she having furnished inior- mation that ied to the capture ofa man who escaped from the state Prison, He nad advised her to plead guilty to an attempt at larceny, wuich would put the punisnment in the aiscretion of the Court. He had important injormation relative to the collusion of officials with prisoners who, from tume to time, escaped from the State Prison, which, when imparted to the Recorder and the Dis- trict Attorney, Would, he believed, lead the Court to impose a lenient sentence. Mr. Rollins accepted a plea of guilty to the in. dictment, and she was remanded til this morning for sentence. TOMBS POLICE COURT. Before Juuge Bixby. The premises of Robert McGill, No. 37 Vande- water street, wooden box manufacturer, were broken open onthe 20tn of February and some $54 Worth Of tools were carried away.

It is statea that Mr, Mills, a short time previous to his death, mortgaged thia Post Office property for $15,000 to John P.

Existing and Increasing Evils of the Hog Siaughtering Business—The Gar- bage Nuisance. At a meeting of the Board of Health held yester | day afternoon the following report was read and Tesolutions passed :— Huauru Duranracene ov tux City o” Naw Yous, } New Youx, Feb. 25, 1874. The Sanitary Committee respectfully call the attention of the Board to the form of an ordinance regulating the | Business of hog slaughtering, submitted by the coum mit- | tee on the 22d day of July, 13:3, and which was laid on the table. ‘the object of that ordinance was to relieve | the city oftne nuisance growing out of this branch of | | slaughvering. | | "During the past season the attention of the committee | has been frequently cailed not only to the nuisance cre- | | ated by hog slaughtering, but to the syowing evils of the | business of slaughtering in yeneral. ‘Instead of concen- | trating ina small and suitable area and in large estab- | lishinents, Where the work can be done in a cleanly and | economical manner, the constant tendency 13 to multi- plication of smalland separaie establishinents and to | their diffusion over larger and larger terri- tory. There are now upwards of fifty of these separate Dulidings, and the Board is frequently receiving | applications trom other parties to occupy new premises, slaughter houses are erect ithout the knowledge of the Board, aad when a permit Is asked the owner has | already expended large sums of money, and under our | Present regulations is entitled toa permit. If the pres ent policy of the Board is coutinued the business of | slaughterin; i y one of the most serious evils with health administration of this clty will have to | contend. ihe interests of the of the ‘public convenience demand the contraction Father than the expansion of the territory devoted to | this business, as welt portation of butchers’ retuse in the streets, under the most rigid sanitary control. Instead ot an ex- pansion of territory and increase of buildings there | should be the usmost concentration possible, or entire Sbandonment of the business on the isiand. ‘The comimittee are of the opinion that the conclusions to which they were inevitably led in the examination of the subject of hog slaughtering apply with equal, if not | greater, force to the business of slaushtering cattle and gmail stock as at present conducted. We desire to call | the attention of the Board to some of the main features report: committee have maturely considered the follow- | ing propositions :— | i} de fhe suppression of the business within the | city’ Lim: ho dyhhe FeRulation of the business in existing slaughter uses. “3, The concentration of the business in an abattoir.’’ “L The most ¢fectual method of relieving the city trom the “nuisance Which bog slaughtering creates is, of | course, its entire suppression within the city limits, And such action on the part of the Board as would sup- | press the Business would, in our opinion,» be | | fustited, if it were mot possible otherwise to remedy | | existing’ evils "the alleged inconveniences and uift- | culties attending conducting the business outside the city, | | such us the perishable nature of meas, difficulties of | transportation, the deprivations of the poor who pur- | chase of the packing houses, &., &c., have no real existence. The hog slaughterers at Communipaw, who | | largely supply our markets, do not attach any-import- ance to this objection, And we are convinced, after | | much inquiry, that it this business were concentrated at | some accessible point on the river, beyoad the city limits, | HEcouid pe carried on not only much more economically than at present, but the facilities for the distribution ot the mea\ & city, the disposition of retuse, &., would be greatly facilitated, The transportation of meats in Proverly prepared barges would greatly tend to their preservation, and the reiuse could all be utilized by proper apparatus on the premises. “2 The regulation of the business in existing slaughter | houses—a measure strongly advocated by the butchers— caunot, ip the opinion of the committee, be so ordered as | to obviute some of the most objectionable features of the | trade, The same territory now occupied would be re- quired, the herding of hogs would be distributed over the | same grea: the care of refuse would be very lmpertect, | and that negligent and imperiect management whic | always characterizes small dealers and tradesmen woul | rendér the business, under the most rigid supervision, | oujectionable, especially during the suiumer months. | "3. The concentration of the business in a single build- ing or abattoir within the city limits is the last method | considered by the committee. ‘This method contemplates the concentration of the ent.re business—varding, slaughtering, rendering, &¢.—in a single building. such & structure, ‘to meet sanitary requirements, must be located on the river front, must be of such dimensions | to accommodate the entire business in ail its details, and | of such material and construction to 'pre- yent all nuisances. hat such construction in New York is practicable is evident from the success of the abattoir system in other cilles, and irom the testimony of those familiar With gil the details of the businéss. We are, therefore, of the opinion that the Board should adopt the rst or third method. Ot these the first would un- doubtediy most efiectually remove tor all time the {| offence which the business creates, Nor do the objec- tons which the butchers allege appear to have any just | Weight. Ample facilities tor the business can be-ob- | tamed near the city on the river front. and tr ns porta. tion of meats by water to various points would be a great improveinent upon the present carriage by trucas, Yet we do not believe that any business should be driven trom the city which can, by proper regulation, be rendered ractically inoffensive; and We are of the opinion that his business can, by the adopton of the third plan, be rendered inoiteuisive. Lf the parties in this business would unite and in good faith provide a suitable bulid ing, with ail (ue appliances and appointuments of @ mo ert abattoir, this trade, in ail its deiails, now go often. sive, could Le rendered ‘an ornament to the city.” AN extended examination of existing slaughter houses for cattle and sheep, «nd the increasing evils and nul sances attendant thereon, have convinced the cominitiee that the above conclusions apply with equal foree to (he entire business. the configuration o! the isiand and the Pressure of the popuiation upon all the available space Jor dwellings fender it imperauye (hat an offensve | trude like this shail either remove beyond the city Limits k @ location in the city where ican be carried on time without detriment to great Racue pacers, 3 $00 18 agwin abproaching with tts ate tendant dangers ot a high sickness aud death rate irom pestlences which are so aggravated by Sources of animal putrefaction which this. b creates, the committee are of the opinion that this Board should take such action will remove this | business entirely irom the island or concentrate | 1 An Single | properly located. | appointed and managed — abattoir. recommend the adoption of the folio nF ordinance, but we deem it advisable to giv | parties inverested an opportunity to be heard beiore it is Hnally adopted.

The following communication was yesterday transmitted to the State Senate by Mayor Have- meyer and Comptroller Green in relation to the city tax estimates, previously submitted to the Legigature by the City Board of Apportionment:— Crry or New Yous, || Executive Derantaxnt, Feb. 25, 18/4, ‘Pq twe Hononanie tus Senate ov Tuk brute oF New ‘ORK : : ‘The undersigned have received trom your honorable body the rollowing preamble and resolution adopted on the [6th inst., to wit:— “Whereas the Board of Estimate and Apportionment made an estimate of the sums required for carrying on the local government ot the city of New York ‘sor the year 1574, which estimate was made in December, 1873, as required by law, aud was submitted to the Board of Aldermen, who considered \he same and recommended, the said estimate to the amount of nearly $1,00),000; and Whereas the said Board of bstimate and Apportionment, notwithstanding the recommendations and reasons ot | the said Board of Aldermen, insisted upon and gave | effect to the original estimate ‘made by them and appro- priated the suuis therein contained tor the various de- aruinents and purposes of said government for the year | 4; and whereas in the communication of the Comp- | troller, endorsed by the Mayor and transinitted by hiin to the Legislature, it is thought the amount may be ma- terially reduced ; therefore | “iegolved, ‘ihai the Mayor and Comptroller be and | are hereby required to transmit to the senate a state- | ment showing in detail the particulars waercin the esti- mate and appordonment can be reductd, with an ex- planation as to each item of such proposed reduction, of thelr reasons for the same, and, if such reasons ex- isted When the origival estimate ‘and apportionment | Was miue, why effect was not then given to the same, | such statement to Le transmitied within ten days.” Betore presenting the statement required by your hon- orabie body it will perhaps be proper to allude to certain statements embodied in the preamble which appear to De the basis of the resolution. | The preamble sets forth that the Board of Aldermen “recommended w reduction of said estimate to the | amount of nearly $1,000,000." and “that the Board of | Esuimate and Apportionment, notwithstanding the rec- ommendations abd reasons of the said Bourd of Alder- men, insisted upon and gave effect to the original estim- ale made by them.” ! dhe tacts are, hat instead of a “reduction of the orig: | imal estimate to the amount of nearly $1,000,000" being “recommended” by the Bourd of Aldermen, the actual reduction proposed by the Board of Aldyrmen on varivus {veins 0: appropriation ainounss to exactly $343,000, while the actual net “increase” recommended by the Board of | Aldermen over the original estimate, amounts to the sum Of $4,211,790 50, Actoulpanying this communteation we submit a sched- ule, marked A, containing :he original estimate as wans- mitted to the Lourd of Aldermen tor revision, and suow- ing the action of the Bourd of aldermen thereon, with the “increase” and “decroase” of the various items of Appropriation made and recommended oy the Board of | Aldermen, and wiso the aggregate amounts of the origi- | pal and the rectitied esumates, together with the tinal estimate. By this it will be seen that the Board of Aldermen did Dot recommend @ reduction of the estimate, as recited in the preamble to the resolution adopted by your hon- | orabie body, but did propose a very large increase | thereof, as above stated. + This action of the board of Aldermen would have im- | posed so heavy au addition to the burden of taxes, al- ready excessive in this ciiy, that the /oard of Appor- tionment did not consider it judicious to approve the | proposed increase. the reasons of tne Bourd ot Appor- | Yonment tor not concurring in and adopung che sugees- | tions of the Board of Aldermen relative to the original estimate are contained in schedule B, herewith also submitted, by which it will appear to’ your honorable | body that’ these proposed “recuucwuona” by the Board of Aldermen were not only injudicious and in disregard of the actual requirements and imteresis of the city, but | were in some instances directly in coutraventon of then and now existing. It became, theretore, the duty of the Bourd ot Appor. | tonment, 11 tie imtercst of the taxpayers of the city, to | overrule inost of the sugzestions of the Board ot Aider- men. At the time the vriginal provisional estimate was made the voie of the people had not been taken, which | Was te decide whether the annexation of a portion of was, in | the then existing uncertainty on this question, thought improper wo make provision for au event which might hile the estimates were pending in the Board of Aidermen the vote was announced on the | uestion of annexation In {ts favor, and the Board of | Zpporuiomment, on. the return of the provmional esti- Mate from the Board of Aldermen, made in their final | estimate the best provision they could for the annexed | territory, considering the very imperfect condition of ‘the laws. o lilustrate the action of the Board of piportonment | and the Board of Aldermen on this subject, the following ingiances are given. to wit:— oard of Apportionment appropriated $1,000,000 for “street cleaning.” which amount the Board ot’ Alder- | men proposed to increase by adding $131 704 50. The | Board ot Apportionment dechned to approve of thls sug- | gestion, as the large orlginal appropriation was | ‘on sidered an ample provision tor the purpose. The Board | of Aldermen also proposed to further imcreaye the appro- | Priation tor street cleuning by adding $70.00, to be ap- | plied in the annexed portion of Westchester county. “| The Board of Apportionment considered this amount more than was necessary, and reduced it to $30,000, | which was thougnt to be suificient for that object, ‘the Board of Apportionment appropiiated $3,752,500 | Board ot Aldermen propo to ineFeuse this appropriation by adding $345,586 tor | mal College’ Building fund, taken theretrom ‘or oth by the School Commissioners at that | The Bosrd of Appor- | oper manner to provide | ‘his was, und therefore re. | Purposes in 1870 think this a’ occasioned Bourd of Education, tor the public schools in the an- | nexed portion ot Westchester county. ‘The bourd of Aldermen proposed to add $500,000 to the appropriation of the Department of Public Works tor | repairing streets, &c..” which the Board of Apportion- | ment declined {o ay prove as unnecessary and wholly 1m excess of the departnental estimate tor that purpose. | ‘The Board ot Aldermen proposed to add the iurther sum. of $1,000,000 to the appropriation for the Deparunent of | Public Works and the saine amount to the appropriation for the Department of Puullc Parks, to be applied to nod by the Board-ot Apperson, the estimate were rejected by the Board of Apportion- ment as in contravention to existing provisions of law for conducting these works. ‘the Hoard of Aldermen proposed other additions to the estimate, which were. disapproved. by the Huard of Ap- portionment for reasons contained in schedule B, wherein also the action of the Board or Apportionment is iully expisined reladve to ail the additious by tne Board of Auermen which were considered unnecessary and in- judicious. Judiaving thus stated generally the action of the Board | of Apportionment and the Board of Aldermen, the | undersigned proceed to answer the resolution of the | Honorabie the Senate. The estiinate and apportionment can be reduced under | the iollowing heads :— | 1, By omitung the amount provided therein for the Fourth avenue improvement on By weieads the amount required to be raised by the ‘rlgon ac ¥ By omitting the amount provided for the first instal- ment of bonds to be issued to pay the deficit in the State sinking funds. 4, Itis oped that by conference with the departments some reductions can be secured in the estiinates for con- | ducting these departments for the present year. 8, Ingome of the courts and ofhces of the city and county ot New York there are subordinates who receive extravagant salaries. By a proper curtailment in this respect some reduction of the annual money now required to. Ue raised by tax may be made, Tnis subject ls now under consideration by the Board of Apportionment, and, to secure the best results In this regard, the prompt and decisive action of the Legislature will De needed. it iy not impossible that, if the legislation respecting the newly added wards of this city 8 made more definite, the item of $500.00) tor speciai contingencies tor {he city and $200,W0 lor the county might be reduced. 1t was scarcely gute to do it at the tine the estunates were made, imasiuuch as it was quite impossible ts uscertain the amount of obligations, indebtedness and interest that might mature dur.ng the year that would be |hrown on the city to pay. In the then existing uncertainty on this matter 1 was neces sary to provide, in thetorm of contingeticies, tor the neéds of the newly annexed district, and, under the same head, for unforseen circumstances that might arise in the city ‘at larg The explanation as to each item of the proposed ro- duetion and of the reasons for the same are that t sums inserted ia the estimate tor toe frst three o: the ‘above named purposes are unnecessary to be raised this year, and that ir itis ascertained that in any of the de- parcineiits aiter the expiration of tour months from the making of the provisional estimate the departmental estimates can be reduced on a review ot the whole sub- Ject, it le very desirable in the interests of the taxpayers that it suould be done. In answer to that part of the resolution which is in these words, to wil, “Ani if such reasons exisied when the original eaiimaie and apportionment was made, why efiect Was Not given tothe same?” the undersigned most respectfully state thaias to the said three items the reasons | did exist When the original esumate and appordonment Was made. and the reasous way effect was not ten given to the sae are that these items were inserted in the estimate because the Legis.ature, vy express enact- mento law, required them to be so Inseried. And it is chiefly because uf these enactments of law, then and Now existing, requiring the tnserion of amounts which the undersigned deemed unnecessary to raise this year, that applicacion ty wade to the Legisiature jor authority to relieve the taxpayers by leaving out liems of large amount wiuch the Board Was required by law to insert in the estiinate. The undersigned regret thatthe honorable the Senate shoul! have been misiniormed ag to the facts in this matter, Masmuch ag it lus aiready tended to delay the passage of the acts submitted, the speedy enactinent of which Is essential to the reliet of the taxpayers of the city of New York, ‘The burden of taxation, as the estimate pow stands, wiil be at the rate of about 840 per cent, which can, as 19 stated in the communication of (he Compiroier trans mitted (0 th be considerably reduced if autho- rity be promptly viven by the Legislature in aid of such reduction.

Colonial Commercial Rivairy—Discrim- imating Tariffs Against General Trade— Field and Ocean Sports Defended by a High Authority—Racing, Yachting and the Scottish Games. SYDNEY, Jan, 17, 1874. When writing by last mail! ventured to hazard an opinion that the inauguration of rival mail routes would tend to destroy apy remaining unity of interests existing between New South Wales and Victoria. The thin end of the wedge had then been introduced, and it required no violent effort to widen the breach, if not to entirely sever the connection, but no one could anticipate that the severance would have occurred so early or 80 sharply. When the border treaty was formed pro- vision was made for terminating or amending it in the event of either colony altering its tariff in such a way as would prove injurious tothe revenue of the other contracting party. The notice to terminate was to be given on the Legislature making any fiscal alterations, and the abolition of the treaty was to take place thirty days afterwards. If merely a readjusnmuent of the monetary considerations was required it could only be effected on an equitabie basis when it could be shown that injury was inflicted and to what extent. For years past the government of Victoria had tenaciously adhered to protective duties, while New South Wales just as persistently endeavored to remove the trammels of commerce, and approach, us nearly as possible, to afree trade policy. ‘rhe existence of differential duties was ignored by the younger colony paying a lump sum | for the right of seading goods across the border of her neighbor duty Iree, and thus Melbourne mer- | qbants secured a large share of the trade of that portion of New South Wales bounded by the Mur- ray River, The new tariff promised to change the current of trade, and imposed upon the government of Victoria the necessity of reducing their duties also, if it was not intended to aunui the treat The period when they vould have demanded the latter passed by without any sign of dissent or dissatis- jaction, It was expected that areduction of the annual payments would have been demanded by Mr. Francis and acceded to by Mr. Parkes as soon as they had sufficient data to guide them. There were | No indications o1 a casus vellé prior to the receipt ofa press telegram from Melbourne stating that the ‘Ministry had dectued to abolish the border customs treaty at the end of this month, Tue Sydney authorities might bave reiused to accept the notice, as baving been given too late, well knowing that the reasou for its delay was that during the wool season terminating in January supplies jor the ensuing year Were invariably sent | from Melbourne to the towns aud stations of Rive- rina, These suppiles represent au aggregate Value Of not less than $1,000,000, the duty on Whieh is diverted juto the Victoria Treasury to the injury of the New South Wales government, Who are expected to make suitable provision tor public works, &¢., required by colonigis wo have | contributed to the revenue of anotner colony rather than to their own.
