OLD PAINTINGS We see il stated in some of
the papers, that some originals by Rubens, and
other old masters, came over in the Caledonia,
along with a collection of paintings tits fur
Their said that the value of the whole lot origi-
ginals and all, amounts to SlS 00). The very
statement refutes itself, and gives the lie to its
boast. There are connoisseurs in Europe, who
would give twice, aye, three times, $4,000 for
single original of Rubens. The statement az
fords an example, either Of gross ignorance or
of equally gross imposture. Those who wish
to patronize the arts, should do so either by or
dering paintings from some of our own excel
lent artists, or by joining the Art Union. These
Wanted originate, imported into this country, are
the works of young men ct Rome or Paris, who
earn a decent living by copying from the old
masters, and sending their copies here as origi-
nails; and the more the daub, the nearer to the
original. We say again, if you want good
paintings, you may get better originals at home,
from our own artists, than you could by throw
ing away money on these pseudo-originai Ru-
bcns and Raphaels

JERSEY City FERRY.-We hope the Common
Council will take some action, this evening, on
the application of the Jersey City Ferry Compa-
ny for renewal of its lease OF the slip foot of
Cour,landt street. On Monday evening last, a
very appropriate resolution was introduced into
the Board of Aldermen, and by them referred to
a suitable committee. This resolution covers
all the ground; and we hope to hear of the COM
mittee reporting ON it this evening, at early
day. The Board of Assistants ought likewise
to take some action in this matter, and we hope
to see some movement made in that body this
evening, and recommend to them the resolution
introduced into the other board.
The bad management of this company is so
notorious, the complaints against it are so nu-
merous, and have been 80 frequently pointed out
in thisjournal, that consider it unnecessary to
refer to them more particularly, at this time
But even if its affairs were we'll managed, there
is no reason why that company should make
money out of our city, by getting the use of a
slip for any amount less than its value Heaven
knows we ought to avail ourselves of every pos
sbe method of increasing the revenues of the
city, so as to make our taxes light as possible
The value of this slip, and of all public property,
can be ascertained in one way, and that is by
putting it up at auction, and renting it to the
highest bidder
We would recommend to our Common Coun-
Gil, before they act on this subject, to appoint
committee to consult with similar committee
of the Jersey City Common Council, and also
with the citizens of that place; and they will be
furnished with abundant proof that the conduct
of this monopoly, as far as the convenience of
the public is concerned, has been any thing but
what il ought to have been, and calls loudly for
reform.
We repeat, we hope our Common Council will
do their duty in this matter. We are under no
compliments to New Jersey, in any shape or
FORM She levies black mail on all our citizens
who travel on her railroads, whilst her ferry
company has been enjoying. for number of
years, one Of our best slips, for a rent merely
nominal, and shaving us at our very doors.

DIFPIcuLTIEs AMONG OUR GKNERALs.-The last
accounts from Washington state that General
Pillow end Colonel Duncan have to submit to
be tried by court martial, or court of inqui-
ry. The charges against General Worth have
been dismissed, and instead of his being tried,
it appears that General Scott himself is to be
brought before court of inquiry-all those trials
to be had at Perote, or somewhere else.
These things will produce a great sensation
throughout the country, and create great deal of
bad blood in the army, and among the friends Of
the various distinguished leaders. We are very
much afraid that the difficulties giving rise to all
these courts martial, have been contributed to
in equal quantities by all the various distinguish
ed individuals concerned. General Scott is
great as military man; he is an admirable
fighter, a distinguished tactiuan; but with these
exceptions, he is in every other respect as meek
as child, and understands little beyond mere
fighting General Worth is like him in this
respect. 1t is well known that he comport-
ed himself with similar indlscretion In
like circumstances. He picked a quarrel
with General Twiggs at the commencement OF
the war, threw up his commission, abandoned
his post and the army, and hurried on to Wash
ington Then, on second thoughts, he changed
his mind and returned to the army again. AS to
General Pillow, he, too, seems to be avain,
giddy man, though capital fighter. His mill
tary reports are written in bad taste, and are
the worst ofall those which have been published.
Colonel Duncan, on the other hand, is man of
great good sense; and how he came to be involv-
ed in these difficulties, remains to be SEEN
But while we lament all these untoward move.
ments, we have reason to be thankful that Gen.
Taylor never got himself into any difficulties
with his officers; and when he was at the head
of the army all was quiet, orderly and sober un-
der his management. H. must be man OF won
derfu tact, great discretion, and remarkable pru-
dence, to have passed through long military ca.
reer, as he has done, without creating jealousies
or heart-burnings among his brethren In arms
In tact, they all appear to respect, and seem to
idolise, him more and more.
In these difficulties and courts martial, we
much fear that MIR Polk and the administration
have committed some great mistakes; but We will
wait and become acquainted with the facts be-
fore we con denim them.
