CITY AFFAIRS.



Tomorrow "wednesday is the day set apart for the
people of this city to the amendments proposed
TO the charter OF the city by the boards Of Aldermen and
Common Council when the voters are to decide whether
application shall be made Congress for their
ment into law
The amendments will be found large in paper Of
this evening.
We do not profess TO be sufficiently acquainted with
the affairs OF this city TO authorize to give an opinion
as TO the merits of the proposed amendments; but we
learn from those who well acquainted with the sub
ect that although there differences of opinion in re-
gard TO of their PROVISIONS YET in the main, the
amendments such ought to command the approval
OF the citizens generally We understand that they have
been framed IN spirit of compromise and concession
with an endeayor to reconcile conflicting opinions on the
subject as far practicable and that they have been
recommended to the citizens by the unanimous (or nearly
so) vote OF the members of the two boards of city
councils, composed of gentlemen representing the
interests and opinions of the people of this city.
1t Is certainly an occasion which all who have a
vote should exercise the privilege OF voting and hope
to see general turnout of citizens the occasion
Every free white male citizen of the age of 81 years and
upwards, who has been resident for l2 months, is en-
titled to vote on this occasion. H.

The two houses of Congress remained only few min
utes in session to-day AS soon as the journal was read
in the Senate Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts, referred TO
the condition OF Mr. Adams, and moved an adjournment,
which was carried In the House, Mr. Speaker Win
throp referred to the OF Mr. Adams who was then
lingering his he Speakers) room. He stated that he
was rapidly sinking in the opinion of his physicians, and
that he should submit to the House what action they
would adopt On which, Mr.. Burt, of South Carolina,
rose to move the adjournment which carried, and the
House accordingly adjourned.
The private secretary OF the President was charged
with very important message OF the President to be
laid before the Senate to-day; but that body had ad
journed "a few moments before Mr. Walker could reach
the Capitol 1t is understood that this message contained
the treaty with Mexico which received by special
messenger from Mexico Saturday evening. We take
for granted that the Senate will act with much
promptitude possible.

We perceive that bill has been introduced into the
House. upon whose memorial is not so generally known)
to authorize the sale of reservation No 49, in this city
There in this proposition than meets the eye and
affords striking illustration of the necessity of in
creased vigilance to guard the rights Of the public from
insidous invasion.
General Washington and the elder Adams, at the time
the plan OF this city received their sagacious sanction
well aware that the greatest source of disease in the
great cities of the Old World was the want of vacant
spaces for the free circulation of air. and the Father of
his County, alive to the necessity of public
walks for the general accommodation of the people at all
times, and in every section of city Such spaces they
deemed the lungs of the respective neghborhoods
Major EEnfant, to carry out such benevolent pur.
poses made the peculiar plan OF this city of magnificent
distances; and not satisfied with giving to bear
the of existing States made reservations OF squares,
Quadrangles, equlateral anges and,
circles which to be planted with trees and adorned
with statues, &c.
The then original propretors of the SOIL approving of
the location and plan of the city, agreed TO give up por
tons of the soil for streets, &c. upon certain conditions
and subsequent purchasers have made their purchases
with all the advantages of position, proximity to open
spaces &C. If, therefore, those spaces could be Sold
(Which they cannot under the obligations of contracts
guaranteed by the consttution) the proceeds of sale
would have to be held for the heirs of the original pro-
pretors of the so-the Carrolls the Youngs and the
Burnses.

profound sympathy Of the public, in the melancholy af

some future occasion. The ball has, consequently, not
