City latelllgence.
NJ. DE- LAroREsr, LATE Consul GENERAL TRANcs,
years has been residing In city in the capacity Of
French Consul General He has left behind him many
He left New York on Friday last on his way to Paris
and thence to Florence which he intends make his
future residence. On the morning OF his departure
the packet ship New York. and there NJ De Courcy In
the name OF his countrymen read to M De Lafoes an
and their wshe: for his FUTURE welfare This ad
dress signed by than four hundred Mr. De La
forest till then unconscious Of this high compliment
was much moved, and replied In very cloqusns man
saying, that he could have In other times, consid
cred this step as Influenced by his position but nov
1t was for him only proof of personal Affection for
which be was douhly proud and happy" lie added,
also that he never would forget this last adeu."
Everybody then shook hands With him and the whole
affair less gratifying TO his counrymen present,
than to him to whom 1t was addressed.
New BUILDING IN BRoADwAY.-The new store Of Bow
en- McNamee. IA Broadway, Of which the basement
and principal story sbuilt Is attracting great at
tentiOn little too much indeed for the pedestrian In
oSstruct free passage on the sidewalk We fear they
will day pay for their curiosity for the pile OF
bricks in front looks ominous for crash The entire
front Of this building Is OF white marble and the pill
lars the old Ezabethan style which appears to be
coming into favor again in this city.
The South FrRRrxs-The inhabitants of South
Brooklyn, will be glad to learn that suggestion Of the
Herald made some two months ago, has been adopted
by the propretors of the South ferries The ferry to
Atlantic street, instead of stopping az hitherto at IA
O'Clock, will all night, every half hour Last night
was the first night Of the change The Herald was the
only paper in New York to make this suggestion and
though like the Hudson RAILWAY Company coming
further down town to obge the public the Ferry Com
psny FAY that il is In compliance with the wishes Of
large number Of the residents Of South Brooklyn We
would bet dollar that the interest OF the company,
than the convenience Of passengers is the motive
OF this concession There Is another concession which
We have advised. and which would equally combine
their interest with indulgence to the public. 1t Is to
extend the time Of tha Hamilton ferry till IL
O'Clock. To stop the boat every night at O'Clock Is
not only inconvenient to passengers but highly nur.
GUS to the ferry Every one says IT ought to run at
least for another hour but we think 1t would be to the
advantage Of the company, rs IL certainly would be
able to their customers to extend the time till
~ o'clock We trust this reform will be soon conceded
We that the ferry was constructed for the
convenience OF the Atlantic Dock Company, that they
erected the slip ut the Brooklyn side 1T their own ex
pense, and that they bound to make good any loss
resulting to the ferry company should this branch not
pay. 1t is however, paying we'll and u little more
iberslity to the public would make 1t pay better.
There many commuters who complain that, though
their tickets for the Fulton street ferry and the
South ferries, and though vt first they permitted
TO pass this ticket tho Hamilton avenue ferry,
they have been Tor time past denied this right
though no portion Of their money has been returned
We have heard that Of the commuters intend TO
institute legal proceedings to recover it.
