The nowinations are expected to be sent in In the course of afew days, The most noteworthy are the appointment of Major Robert Macfeely to be Commis- sary General of Subsistence, vice Shiras, deceased; Colonel William McK. Dunn to be Judge Advocate Gen- eral, vice Holt, retired, both with the rank ef brigadier | general, and William M. Maynadier to be major and paymaster. In the case of General Dunn the appoint- ment was made according to seniority in the Bureau of Military Justice, he beimg the only colonel in that bu- eau, In the case of General Macfeely two colonels, Shree lieutenant colonels and two majors were over- slaughed, and there will probably be some opposition to his confirmation, Major Maynadier’s nomination ‘will also meet with disfavor. He was nominated in March last, but not confirmed, in consequence, tt ts presumed, of bis having been mastered out ag captain of the First artillery, December 8, 1870, on the recom- Mendation of Genera) Hancock's board, before which ‘all “hard cases” were ordered ander section 11 of the vact of July 15, 1870, reorganizing the army.

It will be seom that the writer, who has ample facilities for being familiar | with General Potter’s movements ageinst the Mexican banditti om the line of the Rio Grande, covers many Points NOt touched upon by the brief despatches by telegraph. After referring to the departure of the Ninth cavalry from Fort Brown to Ringgold Barracks, where but one company of the Ninth cavalry and two companies of the Twenty-fourth infantry were left as a garrison, the writer says:— ‘The casual observer could easily see by the move- ments aud disposition of the forces that the ‘object was the capture or pursuit into Mexico of the CATTLE TIIKVES FROM. LOS CUEVAS. On Wednesday, the 17th, the matter came to an issue, Captain Randiett, with ‘his company, struck, some twenty miles north of Cuevas, on our side of the river, a trail of 250 head of cattle, He immediately started in bot pursuit and overtook the marauders at the river, tng the crossing of the cattle, who were in the mire on the Mexican bank. Randlett opened fire and gave them @ taste of his metal, About four o'clock P. M., while searching for @ crossing for his men and to gain time and co-operation from Ringgold Barracks, Randlett urrender of | the thieves and the cattle, notifying him at the same | time that if the demand was not complied with be | would cross over next morning at daybreak. The repy | was that efforts would be made to capture the thieves | and cattle, but the demand ‘was not complied with and hone were turned over. ‘On the foliowing morning Captain Clendenin arrived up, and, with one anda half companies of cavalry and two Gatling guns, formed a junction with Randlett, whom be ranked and relieved of the command By this time some 400 or 500 Mexicans, well armed, Vogether with a portion of the regular Mexican troops, reiniorced the thieves and FORMED A LINE OP BATTLE on the soil of the land of God and Liverty, Their dis- play of force clearly showed the folly of attempting to force a passage of the river under the fire of so large a body, and General Potter, commandant of the district of Rio Grande, made @ formal demand upon the com- manding oilicer at Matamoros for the surrender of the | thieves and the cattle. In the meantime Major Alex- ander, with two companies of cavalry, had beca despatched on the 18th at noon trom Fort Brown as a reinforcement, He made the forced march of eighty- four miles and arrived at the crossing on the following | day. General Potter bad received the usual equivocal | answer. While these n jations were pending Cap- TEXAS RANGERS CROSSED INTO MEXICO | and made a dash in the direction of Camargo. This bold invasion on bis part of the territory of the thiev- ing barbarians caused great consternation and resulted in the killing of several Mexicans, one of whom was | deputy collector of customs, in’ charge of troops. | McNally smote them hip and thigh, but the swarm around bim became so great that he wisely fell back to the river to prevent the enemy taking him in the rear. Here forty of our men, under command of a licuten- ant, held’ a crossing on’ American soil, the main body of the federal troops being on the Texas side and so posted as to cover McNally with their guns. Once at the river, protected by our artillery and cavalr MeNally intrenched himself and coolly awaited an at tack, confident that in such an event he could sately fall back to our side. The situation had been tele graphed to saperior authority, and Major Alexander at once withdrew his force to the north side of the Rio Grande, The factis, while pursuit of the thieves on a HOT TRAIL INTO MEXICO think, @ positive order from headquarters, a subse- quent and deliberate march into the territory of a friendly nation could not be sustained at Washingto: While think Randlett acted with much good sen: and is to be commended for his action, it is unfortunate that he arrived at such alate hour inthe day at the ford that he could not cross without getting mired. Thereby he lost the chance of a dash into the thieving hole and ging them a prompt and salutary lesson. On the 20th Major Alexander made further demands for the thieves and cattle: Compliance was promised and part of the stock has been already restored. This | application of M'NALLY FOR TERMS OP SURRENDER of bimself and his command. his impression was strengthened by the fact that for some hours before | McNally had been reported by the Mexicans as sur- rounded and certain of capture, The war feeling at once Tan high on both sides of the river, and as our tele- could be obtained, grave fears were felt for the httle | south side of the river, that. was not allayed until five | in the evening, when the wires again spoke and in- formed us tbut, finding that the national troops could not assist him further on Mexican soil, be had eately | fallen back to Texan territory, Major’ Alexander and his command are still opposite the Cuevas awaiting the | return of cattie and thieves. Everybody on the Me: can side in that region is armed, and many to escape service are crossing to this side. SPOILS FROM THE TEXANS. | LARGE NUMBERS OF CATTLE AND HIDES SOLD IN MEXICAN CITIES—A DEMAND FOR RES- | TOBATION BY CAPTAIN KING UNHONORED. Gatvsston, Dec. 9, 1875, Brownsville advices state that information has been | received that acontract has been made at Monterey | for the delivery of 18,000 beeves, One hundred and | fitty hides were recently received at Matamoros from Monterey having American brands. Infurmation from diferent points along the Rio Grande gives the num- ber of cattie crossed into Mexico during the last month. | The list numbers 1,620. Most of them were driven toward Monterey. One herd was taken to Camargo | and demanded Captain King’s agent, but the Mexi- cans refused to deliver them up. BROOKLYN PEOPLE MissING. | The general impression is now beginning to settle upon the minds of the police that John Loughery and | his brother Thomas, the convicted counterfeiters who broke out of Raymond Street Jail on last Sunday night, | | covered that the fire was stil! confined to the first floor, | eureet. So fierce had the flames now become tnat the fire- ! midable proportions, detachments from the Fourth and | without any support, the Scott-Uda aerial ladder was | where fifteen or twenty firemen laid hold of it, and a total loss. It was valued at $40,000 and was partly | insured. Nos.

The Chief of Police, Mr. Caropbell, has offered a ro- ward of $250 for information that may lead to the dis- covery of A. H.

BUE GLARY IN BROOKLYN. For several weeks past the police 6f Brooklyn have | been greatly annoyed by the frequent recurrence of a class of burglaries commonly known as “second story rouberies,”” more particularly in the Fourth and Ninth Precincts. . The plan of operations isto pry open the basement door of an unoccupied building in # row of dwellings, along the back part of which are piazzas, Making their way to the piazza they move caucous! along, the bour usually being from six to seven o'clock, whel the inmates are at tea, and, peeping in through ws readily observe whether the apartment is When they reach a room that is unoccupied ect an entrance and rangack the place, securing | anything valnable that may be at hand. Last evening | the second story of a dwelling on Second piace, South Brooklyn, was entered in this manner, and ‘a gold Watch and chain, aud a loaded pistol, valued in ali ut about $100, were stoien. ‘The thief was seen by one of the inmates of the house, but managed to effect his | oxcave, | the broken lamp containing the greater part of the oil | erroneons. Five persons eniled in the Orbit—three | Edmund and G. W, Blugt. The survey was made, DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION. 4 BIG BLAZE IN THE FIVE POINTS—LOSs ABOUT TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOL- LARS—THE HOUSE OF INDUSTRY AND THE FIVE POINTS MISSION IMPERILLED. An officer of the Sixth precinet discovered heavy vol umes of smoke fssuing from the front windows of the five story brick building Nos 3 and 4 Missiom place, tronting the square, opposite the Five Points Mission and House of industry, shortly after five o'clock yes- terday morning, Hastening to the alarm box No. 89 the officer sent out an alarm, and then retarned to the building and burst open the front door, when he dis- where it had evidently originated. This portion ef the building was occupied by Mrs, M. 4. Taylor, dealer in paper and paper stock, Owing wo the combastible nature of the material stored within the walls the fire spread with wonderful rapidity, and had gained a formidable and dangerous foothold be- fore the firemen could arrive, notwithstanding they were on the ground within three minutes after the alarm was sounded. Ere the first stream came in con- tact with the seething flames they had completely en- veloped the first tloor and had taken hold of the second, which, together with the entire upper portion of the building, was occupied by Darrow & Son, book- binders, . A second alarm was sounded, and this was quickly followed by a third, the result being the congregation of all the engines and book and ladder companies of the First, Seeond and Third battalions, Under the direc- | tion of Chief Engineer Bates a vigorous anslaught was | made upon the still rapidly increasing flames by the entire force, Stream after stream flowed into the burning building, but with little or NO APPARENT SFPECT. The gallant firemen worked as only New York firemen ‘can, but, despite their herculean efforts, the fire spread to the adjoining buildings, Nos, 1 and 2 Mission place, and to the rear of the buildings Nos. 148, 150 and 162 Worth men were several times driven away, it being utterly im- possible for them to remain near enough to make their efforts effective, Again and again did they renew the attack, taking advantage of every circumstance that would permit of their approaching the building, About six o'clock it became apparent to all that the buildings already on fire could not be saved; conse- quently the attention of the firemen was directed to the surrounding strectures, which were seriousl: threatened. The huge edifice on the nortl side of Worth street, known as the Five Points House of Industry, and the Five Points Mission House, an extensive brick building on the south side of Park street, were in imminent danger and were only saved by the heroio efforts of the firemen, who continued to pour heavy streams of Croton against the walls and on the roots. Indeed the roof of the Mission House was on fire several times, but the flames were speedily extinguished, The front of the HOUSE OF INDUSTRY 3 was badly scorched and many of the paneé of glass in the windows were broken by the intense heat Soon after the discovery of the fire Captain Lowery, of the Sixth precinct, was on band With his reserves, and as the conflagration assumed more and more for: Fifth precincts arrived and did excellent service in keeping back the crowd of lookers on which bad now grown into the thousands. Captain Lowery, with a platoon of men, entered the House of Industry and suc- | ceeded in removing the inmates, comprising 400 children and 100 adults, without causing a panic, and not one of the unfortunates who were thus hurriedly and uncere- moniously taken from the imperilled building suffered the slightest accident Indeed, the police were never | better managed at a fire than upon the occasion in | question, The fre naturally eaused the most intense | excitement among the numerous tenants of the tene- ment bonses in the vicinity, and the fear-stricken people gave the police a great deal of trouble, It was found necessary to remove these people from their residences, and'in many instances it was found neces- Sry to use absolute force in making them leave, and some of the women the policemen carried bodily out of their apartments. After the fre had been raging for nearly an hour tt was thought to be under control, but by some unex- plained reason the flames gained fresh headway, and it ‘was not before the walls of the building fell that the | firemen succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The buildings Nos 1, 2,3 and4 Mission place were entirely destroyed, with their contents, and several of | the adjoining structures were considerably damaged by | fire and water. | | brought into requisition, and a rope, carried to the top | by a fireman, was thrown over a projecting portion and then carried across to the roof of the Mission House, About nine o'clock, the fire having burned out the inside of the large building, leaving the walls standing with one anited pull brought the wall ergsh. Nearly all the engines now withdrew, leaving two or three only to play on the smouldering ruins. THE LOSSES. As is above stated, the fire originated on the first floor of Nos. 3 and 4 Mission street, in the stock of paper owned by Mrs. Mary Taylor, whose loss is esti- mated at $30,000. Darrow & Sons, occupants of the upper pertion’ of this building, lose from $25,000 to $30,000, Their insurance amounts to but $8,000. The building was owned by Jamee Cummings, and 1g lown with a ind were valued at $50,000, The building was occupied by Donaldson & Brothers, lithographers, who $55,000, mostly in foreign companies. The building Nos. 145 and 150 Worth street is oecn- Union, and the upper floors by H. 8. Archer, book- binder, and Dun, Barlow & Co., mercantile agency. $5,000. The loss of Dun, Barlow & Co. 1s estimated at | $10,000, fully insured, H. S, Archer's loss is estimated at $10,000. The building is damaged to the extent of 5,000. ‘ The damage to the Hoase of Industry will not ex- ceed $500, and it is insured for §55.000. The Mission House 1s damaged to the extent of $2,000, and is fully insured. The following are the losses on Park street:— Nos. 58 and 60, occupied by George Debevoise, iron founder, lose $4,000; fully insured, No, 54, stable of Francis McParlan, tose $1,000; no | msurance. No. 53, dwelling of Thomas Wade, loss $200; insured for $600. No. loss $600, No, 57, frame dwelling, owned and occupied by Bridget O’Connor, Joss $500; insured for $1,000, No. 59, occupied by James Clifford, as a ragshop, loss $1,000; Insured for $3,500, No. 593g, occupied as a fngshop by James Shay, loss $350; insured for $1,000. THE a frame dwelling occupied by three families, PATERSON FIRE. ‘The origin of the Paterson fire, on Wednesday morn- ing, is now ascertained to be as follows:—Noah Mott, | the night watchman at the Harmony Mills, was walking through the drying room when he ran against some obstacle that stood in his way and thus upset the lamp. When the oil took fire Mr. Mott seized the portion of | and went to the other part of the room, imagining the oil was not on fire, when in reality it was. In this manner the fire was spread and the conflagration soon | became general, as the temperature of the room is kept | at 180 degrees Fabrenheit. | Several hundred laborors are at work clearing away | the dobris, and the destroyed buildings will be immedi. | ately rebuilt in the same style and size as they were | before the fire. Scarcely hait of the buildings comprising tne Har- mony Mills were destroyed, ‘The lose of the Phoenix Manufacturing Company Is $50,000; 650 of their 900 hands were able to resume work this morning in their princtpal silk mills, which | were not injared at all, Their weaving department ts | crippled temporarily. Mr, John &, Van Winkle suffers really the most seri- ous loss? as his only building, worth $16,000 and in- sured for $5,000, was totally destroyed. i To tae Eprror ov tae Heratp:— In 1807 Edmund M. Blunt, then a resident of New- buryport, had a suryey made of the Port of Annis | Squam, which was a port of refuge in that vicinity in northeast gales for fishermen. This was the first survey made on our coast sinee the country attained its independence, In 1819, he then residing in New York, fitted out a sloop named the Orbit, to survey the “great Babama bank,” that being the highway traversed by all vessels from the Atlantic seacoast to the Gulf of Mexico, The charts then used were Spanish and very naval offiers, Messrs. Mallaby, Stout and Ward, also and i the istands on tbe chart that wer ence were ot in e} expunged and the channel across the banks accuratel: surveyed, In 1820 surveyed the old sout shoal of Nantucket and found it many miles of ijatitude out of the way. In 1621 MM Edmund 8B surveyed the shoals on George’s Bank, which had never been surveyed before. From 1822 to 1826 Mr, Edraund Blunt was engaged in survey- ing the harbor of New York and its entrance from Fire Island to Barnegat, 1 being the only survey of its en- france ap to that time In 1828-'20-'30 hie surveyed Long Island Sound, afterward joined the Coast Survey a8 list assistant, the duties of which office he per- formed with great oredit and ability and executed more miles of triangu'ation than any man that ever lived. The above I have written alter reading the report of the Secretary of the Navy, in which he says:—"‘It 18 true that afew enterprising individuals had constracted and issued the most necessary charts"—thus ignoring entirely the services of our famtly in making surveys large im extent and accurate in character which no private individuals i any country bad ever done before, GEORGE W.

THE WATER SUPPLY IN THE ANNEXED DIS- TRICTS—LIGHTING THE PIERS AND DOCKS. ‘The regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held yesterday afternoon, President Lewis in the chain ‘The minutes of the previous meeting having been con- firmed, Alderman Morris offered the following:— Whereas the in the annexed territory are asking for an additional supply of water, and it is well Known that the largest part of the district 1 in farme and unoccupied lands; and whereas this Board has no information whatever to guide them on this subject nor do they know of the Commissioner of Public Works having any on the same subject; therefore, be it ved, That the Commissioner of Public Works be authorized and directed to furnish this Board with copies of any plans he may have, and if he bas none to preparo a plan or plans of the entire annexed dis- triet, With the size of the pipes which he intends to Jay in the various ues and streets; also the num- ber of houses in said avenues and streets, and the dis- tance they are apart; also the estimated cost of this entire work, including hydrants, &c. ; also whether he intends to obtain the supply of water from the north or south side of the Harlem River, ‘The resolution, with aslight amendment by Alderman Purroy, was adopted. Alderman Morris also offered the folowing: Whereas it is a well known fact that the pipes and hydrants south of Fulton street and west of Broadway are entirely too small if there should bea large confla- gration; and plies to the district west of Whereas the same Broadway and north of Caual to Houston, the pipes in Mercer and Wooster streets being only six-inch mains and the hydrants only of the same old-fashioned make, they being unable to supply the steamers of the present and ereas it was fully demonstrated last winter and Spring that the hydrants, both large and small, are badly tected for the want of proper drainage, when it might done with very little cost at the proper time—when they are being put down; and whereas it is a well known fact that in almost on case the hydrants are put in front of some building that is connected with the sewers, and that at very little expense they could be connected by drain pipes to the house connections, and if not to the house drains they should be drained by earthen pipes the main sewer; and Whereas the hydrants now drained directly into the ground as soon as it freezes refuse to take up the water that drips from them, and in consequence they freeze solid, requiring from’ ten to twenty minutes to thaw them ont; therefore Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works be authorized and directed to lay a main down Church and Greenwich streets, from Fulton street to rapeert 4 place, the same as is now laid in Church street, wit large hydrants, as in the dry goods district, Resolved, That the Commussioner be directed to lay Worth street, from Church and Canal, through Canal to Wooster street to Houston, of the same size pipes and hydrants as below in the dry goods district, Resoived, That all the hydrants, also all the large hydrants that were put down in the aforesaid district previous to this resolution, be properly drained by pipes connecting with the sewers pursuant to provisions of section 2, chapter 477, Laws of 1875. Referred to a committee, LIGHTING THR PIERS AND DOCKS, Alderman Morris also submitted the following:— Whereas in a communication addressed to this Board, in answer toa resolution of inquiry, the Depart ment of Docks clearly demonstrates the practicability of lighting the open piers along the entire water (rout of this city at a comparatively trifling annual expense, and submits three separate plans, either of which, with bud little difference in cost, will answer, and as the desirability of lighting the ome 1s conceded on all hands, and it is easily proven that the saving of prop- erty exposed to depredation will more than compensate for the outlay alone, omitting entirely the vaiue of ad- ditional security to life it wail afford; be tt Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works be and is hereby authorized and directed to cause the piers Of this city to be hghted, adopting the second and third of the three methods mentioned in the communication above referred to, or if deemed advisable by him to use the three methods or systems as the peculiarities of each pier to be lighted may render necessary; and the Department of Docks ia hereby to co-operate with the Department of Public Works in the work of lighting the piers of the city, the expense to be charged to the appro- priaticn for lamps and gas, except such portion as may have to be borne by the Department of Docks in pro- viding wooden lamp posts or piles, which shall be charged to the proper appropriation in that depart ment ‘The resolution was laid over. THE SUPPLY OF WATER IN FIPTH AVENUE. Alderman Morris then moved a resolution to tho effect that the Commissioner of Publié Works be authorized and directed to complete the main from ‘Thirty-eighth to Fifty-ninth street, on Fifth avenue, so that the Inhabitants of that district may get the usual supply of water. Adopted. (STREET OBSTRUCTIONS, Alderman Gross offered a resolution in relation to street obstructions, old shed’ and awnings, which was followed by an amendment by Alderman Seery that ten days? notice be given to the parties complained of before they were subjected towny process of law. Batgrred, to the Committee on Arts and Sciences. HOLIDAY PRIVILEGES. Alderman Robinson moved that the Mayor be re- quested to suspend the operation of the ordinance against street stands during the holidays on the side- walks for the sale of Christmas geese, vegetables, poultry, &c, The resolution was adopted. THE BOARD OF TRADE, On the report of the Committee on County Affairs permission was given to the Board of Trade to use the old chamber of the Board of Aldermen. THE CONFINED AND DINGY QUARTERS OF THE: GENERAL SESSIONS COURT. A communication, signed by Judge Sutherland, Re- corder Hackett and Judge elect Gildersleeve, was read. It set forth that from the lst of January next another branch of the Court of General Sessions would be held, and in which two terms were to be held contin ously, and asked the Board to direct the Commis- sioner of Public Works to provide such accom- modation as might be approved of. Up to the present time but one court room was provided, and was totally inadequate for the purpose it was de- yoted to; but it was of the utmost importance that the additional court room should be located in the same building, together with the District Attorney’s offices and jury rooms, This would save considerable in- convenience, confusion andexpense, It would further prevent the necessity of having two separate gangs of prisoners coming up for trial and bemg conducted to different buildings, thereby eaving delay. Alderman Seery interrupted the reading of the eom- munication by moving that !t be referred to the Com- mittee on County Affairs. Alderman Billings insisted upon the reading being portant matter and required the careful consideration ol the Board, a sentiment which seemed to be gener- ally concurred tn. he petitioners further asked that the room occupied by the Tax Commissioners should be devoted to the purpose mentioned, as being the most suitable, and therefore that the Tax Commissioners be directed to vacate the same, | Alderman Seery made what he considered a facetious remark about the expertness of Recorder Hackett and Judge Gildersieeve (both of whom were present), as to the probability of their requiring a shooting gallery at the'rear of the court, But the observation fell flat, and seemed to be regarded as untimely as it was un- called for, After some discussion the communication was referred to the Committee on County Affairs. THR KING KALAKAUA RECEPTION. This interminable question came up again yesterday | upon the question of the majority and minority reports upon the settlement of the Windsor Hotel bill for enter- down the sum at $6,052 and the latter at $4,039 60, After debate the matter was laid over. THK AMBRICAN BRICKLAYERS, The committee appointed to confer upon the subject of the petition presented by the American Bricklayers? Union, asking the city for work during the winter months, recommended that steps should at once be taken to bring about that result, and added a resolution to the effect that the Departments of Public Works, Docks, Parks and the Bureau of Street Cleaning in the Department of Police be requested, as soon as possibie, to give employment to as many mechanics and labor: ing men in their respective departments as can be | worked to advantage during the approaching severe winter months, in order to afford the present unem- ployed workingmen in the city the means of maintaining themselves and families, Another resolution from the same committee strongly urged the immediate adoption of a special order, being a resolution to provide for an increased peo tnd of Croton water for the city by the republican members of the Board, who had heretofore opposed 1t8 passage, as the committee confidently be- lieved the measure Was one of great importance, as it The report was adopted. REDUCING WAGES. A commonication was read from Commissioner Steb- bing, {8 response to an inquiry, stating tion'had been made in the laborers’ wag Alderman Parroy insisted that in the Twenty- third and Twenty-fourth districts the rate of wages had been reduced, and, on motion, the Clerk was directed to communicate with the Commissioners on the sub- ject, ? After the transaction of some routine business the Board adjourned. THE CITY FINANCES.

Labor for the season on the New York anchorage of the East River Bridge is about closing. The recent very cold term caused the suspension of mason work, re- ducing the number of men employed from 175 to fifty, only. A visit to the corner of Cherry and Dover streets, where the massive structure raises its head in almost equal proportions to the tower near by, cam convey a correct idea of its extent and ponderousness, Six large boom derricks and two engines are kept employed, and arailroad has been laid down from pier 29 to the Water strect front for the transportation of the heavy blocks of limestone brought by vessels from Kingston, on tho Hudson, The site on which the anchorage is being erected was once a very fashionable quarter of the city. Near at hand Washington had his residence while in New York, and on the ground ttself was the home of Mr. Fox, President of the original Gas Company, and into which the invisible fluid was first introduced in this city, The celebrated Doctor Valentine Mott lived for “many years in the adjoining house, THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED, The necessary excavations, after the demolition of the buildings on the ground, were commenced last spring, and were carried several fect below high water mark. The actual construction of the anchorage began in"August last by the laying down of several courses of yellow pine, alternately crossing each other, well bolted together and thoroughly grouted with cement, which has the effect of hardening it and affording pro- tection against the seaworth, The protection is ren- dered more effective and complete by the covering given to the outside of the timber, together with a heavy layer of concrete, and this again is protected by a weighty stone filling, intermixed with gravel and sand. In this manner the whole timber foundations are hermetically enclosed by a body of concrete, fully guarding it against the wash of the sea or the river front, This was fellowed up by courses of masonry, each about two feet in height. The cast tron anchor plate, weighing twenty-three tons, ts of oval spider shape, with sixteen arms, each six feet long. The centre body from which these project is quadrangular in form, four feet six inches by three feet eight inches and two feet six inches deep. Wrought fron bars and pins are used in carrying up the chains that are to sup- port the bridge cables as the work progresses. Each chain wili have a total length of 130 feet, and forms a curve from the foundation of one quarter of a circle, gradually devoloped until the highest point is reached. The first link con- nects with the caole, and occupies a horizontal posi- tion, while the last one is placed in a vertical line at- tached to the anchor plate before mentioned, which sup- ports the superincumbent masonry, whose weight will ¢ great enough to balance the largest degree of ten- sion to which the chain can ever be exposed, NEW STREETS TO BE OPENED. The New York anchorage has now been raised to fifty feet above the street grade—the extent of work on it tor 1875, When compieted it will be eighty-nine fect high, to correspond with the grade line of the bridge. During next summer it {s expected that twenty-eight feet additional will be completed, when operations will cease until the wire cables are ready. Tho, anchorage will form one solid mass, but there will be two large open spaces, ninctcen feet high, stretching from Water street to Uherry. These arcues will constitute a re- markable feature of the structure, and it is proposed to utilize them by converting them {nto vaults for storing treasure and valuables, The approach to the aochor wall will be from Chatham street at a point 1,336 fect distant, The ground to be taken will not be | sacrificed, but on the other hand, it is intended to make decided improvements on ali the blocks to be passed over. It is also proposed to open out a new street from Chatham or William to Cliff or Franklin square, run- ning alongside the bridge on the north side of it. Tho south front of it is to be formed by the buildings un- derneath the bridge, and the plan prepared shows how the new thoroughfare iaay be made very imposing and attractive in its architectural features and how aii the ground can be turned to good account. PROPOSED NEW MARKETS. In connection with the opening of this new means of communication with Brooklyn, it bas been justly re- much beg- lected. ‘The blocks are densely crowded by the poorest class of buildings, the removal of which is de- sired by every citizen who feels an interest In the gen- | eral welfare, “Mr, Roebling, the chief engineer of what he states will be, when finished, the greatest bridge in existence, has suggested that'one or more blocks, between William and. Rose streets, or b etween Roso and Vanderwater and Cliff, might be built up to serve “as market halls. Such markets, it would scem, will be wanted, sooner or later, in that ae. of the city, either to supersede the old Fulton market or to better serve a vast and dense population all round, within a radius of haifa mile, They would also be most con- venient for all the marketing that will come over the bridge from the Brooklyn side. CRUSHING THE LABORERS. ‘The suits brought by laborers in tho new tunnel of | | the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad, at Jersey City, against the contract oe before Justice Bretzfeld. It was shown on ehalf of the defendant that several of the men owed board bills which they refused to pay, and McAndrews accordingly dedacted the amount of these debts and paid the claimants, Judgment was entered tn his favor ‘on these cases, bat for the men onthe others. Hero- aiter the men will be paid with more punctuality, ———--+-—___.. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, MARRIED. Buxker—Sscon.—At Elizabeth, N.
