CITY CONVENTION AND THE FERRY SLIps-While
the public mind IS agitated about the impropriety
OF renewing the leases held by certain ferry COM
panes, giving them the exclusive privileges of
slips owned by the corporation, at small rent
without enforcing the conditions on which such
leases are granted, we think il would be advisa-
bic for the city convention to give the matter
some consideration, and insert provis sion in the
new charter that will remedy the evils that we
suffer under. Slips have been bartered away for
a number ofyears to prop erty owners and COM
panies of another State, with the exclusive right
10 run ferries between that State and the city of
New York at a mere nominal rent, varying from
four thousand dollars down to one cent, the lat
ter being the paid by one ferry for the exclu-
sive use of slip.
We have nothing to say in regard to the means
used to get these privileges for mere nothng but
wethnk IT is due TO the people who are taxed to
support the city government, and who are the own
eis ol 'nese rights, to be made acquainted with
lhe manner in which their property has been
leased away from them for nothing.
IL the City Convention will insert a provision
IN the new Charter, forbidding the Common
Council rom leasing ferry Sins. or grant.
ing ferry privileges foT longer term than Ave
years and at the end of that term to mn, ,ha,, -,
at auction, and grant them to the highest bddsr
who Will comply with such reasonable terms a.
the city fathers may dictate, we think the evil
wonld be reached, and the ferries deprived OF
iheir monopoly ieatures. These terms should be
such as would secure TO the people the greatest
amount oil accommodation possible. For this

There's balm for the wounded heart.
Oh! watch thou, then, ,ha, Thy lips ne'er breathe

For thai which is lightly and idly said,
Is often too deeply heard;
And tho for the moment, il leave no trace,
For pride will lis woes conceal,

Twelve friends, much about the same age,
and fixed, by their pursuits, their family con-
nexions, and other local interests, as permanent
inhabitants of the metropolis, agreed one day,
when they were drinking their wine al the Star
and Garter al Richmond, TO institute an annual
dinner among themselves, under the following
regulations: That they should dine alternately
al each others houses on the first and last days
OF the year; that the first bo,tle of wine uncork-
ed al the first dinner, should be recorked and
put away, to be drank by him who should be
The last Of their number; that they should nev-
er admit new member; that when one died
eleven were TO meet. and so on; and that when
days dine by himself, and sit the usual hours al
has solitary table |; but The first time he so dned
alone les, it should be the only one, he should
then uncork the first bottle, and in The first glass,
drink 10 the memory of all who were gone.
There was something original and whimsical
IN the idea, and it was eagerly embraced They
were all in the prime of life, closely attached
by reciprocal friendship. fond of social enjoy
ments, and looked forward 10 their future meet.
