NAVAL ISQUIRY-A Court Of Inquiry was re-
Gently held at the Navy Yard, to investigate Ger
tain charges preferred by Capt Luce, OF the steam
ship Arctic, against Passed Midshipman H. II.
Bier, United States Navy, aud third officer oil that
vessel The Court gave unanimous decision
frst that Passed Midshipnan Bier was not guilty
Of neglect of duty in leaving the deck while on
duty: secondly, that ne was not guilty OF genera
neglect of duty; and, thirdly, that he was not
guilty of running the ship off her course The
report, after thus specially deciding that Passed
Midshipman Bier was innocent of all the charges
preferred against him by his Commander proceeds
to make the general declaration, that the conduct
of all the officers Of the Navy connected with the
Arctic hes at all times been correct and proper
We presume that Capt Luce, being nothing but
captain in the commercial marine, will not again
venture before Board of Naval gentry to prefer
charges against one of their own kidney. If ne
does we fancy the reports will be all ike the one
we here record What can a civil Captain know
about duty, compared with Passed Midshipman
in the Navy?
DRowNED.-Don Levy formerly employed in
the Custom House in Jersey City, and recently as
a night Waterman in the Public Stores in this
City, was yesterday morning taken out OF the
river at Jersey City, dead. Heis supPOsedto have
fallen off the dock during the fog Monday night.
tY The stage drivers appear to have hard
work to please those whose duty it is to carry
out the directions of the new Mayor. David Ha-
gap, driver of one of the Broadway and Forty
second-st line of stages, was arrested on Monday
Tor driving faster than the law allows. He was
taken to the Mayors office. On the same day
the police arrested seven drivers Of various Broad
way stages, for driving too slow, in opposition to
the Mayor manifesto. They were fined 81 each
and allowed to go about their business. We
hope the police will continue their efforts until
the drivers learn to behave themselves.
MORE STAGE LICENSES REVOKED. - Mayor
KiDgsland, on Monday, revoked the licenses of
five of Cornell K Turnures line of Fifth avenue
and Broadway stages The reason assigned, is
some failure to comply with the rules laid down
for the regulation Of stage licenses
| A NEW LINE OF STAGEs-There is 70 be new
line of Stages started in few days, TO run across
the City, from the North to the East River, to &C
! commodate the mechanics and other working
classes, and all other persons who wish to avail
themselves of the cheap fare system, as the fare
is to be three cents only for riding any distance IN
said line. The Stages are to be new, and large
enough to accommodate sixteen to eighteen pas
sengers. They are to ran from the WILLIAMSBURG
Ferry, foot of Grand-st, to the Hoboken Ferry
foot Of Canalst
IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-In the case of Alfred
G. Benson, and Others against the Corporation of
the City Of New-York, Judge Barcuo has decided
in favor of the City. The plaintiffs, residents of
Brooklyn, brought an action to restrain the Corpo.
ration from leasing the Fulton, South and Hsmil-
ton Ferries, between this City and Brooklyn,
claiming that they were entitled to those Ferries
under license from the State. The Corporation
maintained that the Ferry franchise belongs ex
| clusively to them, and that they cannot be re-
strained from leasing a Ferry privilege to whom.
soever they please. The Common Council had
passed a resolution some time since, leasing the
| Ferries to the other defendants named Leroy and
Pierpont, for ten years, at rent of S35 900. The
decision is very fall, and decides every point in
favor of the City-thus giving to New-Yo.k CON-
plete control over all Ferry privileges.
