An ERROR CoRREcTED.-The statement that
Capt. Williams has resigned or that he is de.
faulter is q mistake. Charges have been preferred
against the Captain he has entered his plea Of not
guilty, and asked for an early day for trial. The
principal charge is that he has drawn, and appro-
| priated to his own USE money from the Depart
ment of Streets and Lamps by the presentation Of
fctirious bills or returns" in the name of per-
sons as sweepers Of streets who were not so en-
| poyed and communication has been presented
to the Mayor setting forth the particular instances
in which, and the names Of persons by means Of
which, it is alleged such money was drawn. This
I statement purports to have been made from Capt.
Williams returns" or accounts, butt so happens
that it was prepared without even sight Of his
accounts, and is therefore good for nothing. Capt.
Williams, on receiving this statement caused an
examination of his accounts, which are filed In the
Department Of Streets and Lamps, to be instituted
by the proper officers and not discrepancy evil
dence of money drawn by fictitious returns as
charged, to the amount even Of one cent has been
discovered. Capt. Williams demands an invessi-
CATION, and pledges himself to resign instantly on
the discovery of any fraud, or indeed, Of any dis
crepancy in his accounts Even if any delinquency
should be discovered, it may not appear to be that
of Capt. Williams At any rate, not one dollar
will be lost by the Corporation
Other charges Of lesser import have been pre-
ferred against Capt. Williams, among which is one
of receiving from a certain person the sum oftwen
ty.eight dollars. Capt. Williams did obtain the
written permss sion of the Mayor at the proper
time, according to law, to receive this identical
sum, and has now the permission in his pocket
PAY OF PoLIcENEs.-We hear that the Police
men, or large number Of them, will come before
the Common Council tonight with strong peti-
ton for an increase Of salary. We have not space
| to examine the matter at length but will state
briefly that the reasons alleged for this petition
are High rate OF rents increased prices of pro-
visions responsible and exacting character OF
their duties increase Of population since the Do
psrtment was organized, (is44,) and consequent
increase of labor for Policemen; liability to be
called on extra duty for week at time a. at the
