OuR BASKRUPr Commemorative are H. a pretty
predicament about money matters. We are bank

sorrow-cant pay our debts-we mean the corpora

Council have got the city into snar; they sent for
the old comptrolerto help them out of it, but he re-
fused to assist them. What they intend to do is
more than we can imagine Without money or Gre
at, all the city works must stop, the great Croon
aqueduct must stop; the loss thereon will be inn
mense, the frost will get hold of and n.ure the
works; and il will take thousands upon thousands

the present deanged condition never equalled
before, and never will be again, until the great
casting up of corporation accounts at the day Of
judgment.
The FRENCH LEGATIoN.-There has been little
squabbling in certain quarters about the appoint
ment 81 the Secretary of Legation to Paris. Mrs
y suihvan, a very handsome woman, paid very great
attentions and difference to Mr.. Van Buren, and OBJ.
tanned the appointment Of her son as Secretary of
Legation under Gen. Cass, subject to his approval
Gen. Cass, hswever, did not approve of it, but Sc.
ected young Mr. Ledyard, who is about to marry his
beautiful daughter. This, Gen. Cass thought. was
the strictly democratic principle. The "Psst'
thinks otherwise; and Mr.. O'Sullivan through the
Post kicks up row, and says this is not follow
ing the democratic principle. We think he is right;
Ledyard's grandfather killed in the revolution
airy war, and Mr.. Ledyard himself is very amiable
young man. Mr.. O'Sullivan is a brawlng partizan
whom nobody heard of till recently and therefore
he ought, upon the democ ratio principle 10 have
the appointment.
POLICE REroRriSe.-The Star is in a terrible
pucker with the Police Reporters and denounces
them all in lump Tor presuming to inform the pub
lic Of complaints by individuals against Others for
real or supposed grievances. Now the Star knows
very well that all these complaints made in the
private chambers of the Magistrates and that the
press cannot, and does not get at the facts in any
case without the sanction Of these Magistrates
The whole Of the mischief arises from this very
source. II is in the power OF the Police Office to
suppress or 10 publish, at their will and pleasure
and the reporter is a tool In many cases though
possibly unconscious one. Were the reporters
admitted TO these private chambers and were there
no star chamber freceedings, there would be none
Of the mischiefs the Star complains Of Even in the
case Of Levy, the reports in the papers were none
OF them mschevous to the accused as the aifida-
Wit drawn up under the sanction Of the Police JUS
tice, and by him given out TO the reporters. Does
the Star ever hear any complaints made Of reports
that come before the United States authorized
Certainly not. Yet in that department Of criminal
justice, directly person is brought up for examina-
tion the doors thrown open, and the press and
the public are freely admitted 1t should be 50 at
all the public Offices, and then, il innocent persons
accused, the bane and the antidote would both
20 forth together.
The FULToS FEKRY.-This concern changed
masters on Wednesday, and is now ANAL amated and
incorporated with the South Ferry. Whether the
public will be gamers not by the change remains
to be seen, but the corporation have commenced
| by putting three largo and conmodous boats ON the
station, which they intend To from o'clock,
A. NJ, till o'clock, p NJ, and either one or two
boats after that hour in proportion the necessities
Of the psbc. The old boats are for the present laid
up, but 1t j. supposed that the new company will
take them at fair valuation The rates of ferriare
have not yet been lowered, but we must not expect
too sweeping reform at once. We interd 10 agitats
that matter again before long for there much vr.
tue ia that word when abuses have grown too rank
and cry aloud for reformation.
