c.on Of Judge Daily which ordered them sgao into the

tarily brought here with perfect kn0~eige Of our
laws bu, proceeded simply upon the claim that they

We believe which a. themselves would warrant this
second attemytto vindics,e their freedom under our
laws We understand that upon their delivery TO the
Captain on Saturday the Brazilian Consul directed that
they should bo put in rOns and the Captain accordingly
had irons produced and ordered Of ORR CITY Po

DEAF AND DOME ISsrrUTIoN.-On the 9TH ult.
the Managers Of the Annual Grant by the state Legss
ture and general affairs Of New York Institution for
the Instruction Of the Deaf aud Dumb petitoned the
City for grant 10 them and their successors of the
grounds which the Seminary Is built Tho Memorial
in the Board of Aldermen was referred 10 the Finance
man Lawrence, against and another by Alderman May
nsrd for the grant requested. Ala Purser the third
member Of the Committee signed neither report.
ltsppesrs that has been conveyed the mana
gers OF the Institution other I've leased to them
nominal rent and that they are allowed the use OF an
adjoining block during pleasure Not satisfied with this
they ask free deed of both blocks forever for the
to which they are appropriated say eleven #
kr 1 he Inst
tuition is well conducted and of highly benevolent
ohsracer-but that the City is deeply indebted and its
public property pledged for the payment thereof and
that he doubts the legality OF such eran-thst the
City has been already sufficiently liberal furnishing the
grounds and paying $1,000 year Tor 10 pupils while
the State pays the other SIS $40 for the education Of 6
more. out Of POS.
Mr. Msynards view Of the matter H. that the location
Of the Institution causes the expenditure Of large sum
OF money the City that the buildings erected have
$4,000 that the managers desire TO erect
and that the blocks should be granted TO Messrs
Prosper NJ Wetmore, George j. Cornell II. + David,
shepherd knapp Moses Taylor and the other Trustees
or Managers, aud their successors.
Is this Institution school tor the Dumb aud Deaf
and does not lie chief income from the state and
City Finances Why should ali public check by the
Civic authorities be Withdrawn from H. more than any
other School and Academy Messrs Weimore, Knspp.
and other respectable gentlemen, have the control Of
$4,000 or $4,000 year, for the lnstitauOn No
doubt they lay it out well. But may time come
when check may be required the action Of
future Board How are the Trustees appointed Are
they safer depository OF the lands which us useful
School Is built than the Mayor Aldermen and Corpora.
ton OF New.Yorki Would the confidence Of the state
be greater in H. after the whole OF the lands had passed
into the hands OF private Corporation than il Is now
We hope that the prayer OF the memorial will not be-
granted.
