OFFICERS OF THE CoURTS.-THE BOARD CONSUMING
TINE.
A discussion arose on resolution offered by the
Recorder, empowering the Judges Of the Supreme
Court, Superior Court and Common Pleas, to nomi-
nate to this Board the officers OF the several courts
After about dozen amendments having been offered
by Alderman Tweed, and negatived by the Board,
the same Alderman (Tweed) moved that the Board
take recess for ten minutes. This was also mega
tived by large majority and it was then moved to
lay the resolution the table. This was also lost.
Alderman Tweed moved that it, consideration be
postponed until the next meeting Of the Board.
Alderman Denman opposed this conduct Of Alder.
for the purpose of delay. The motion was put and
negatived, by majority of l6 to 3.
II was then moved that the Board adjourn. This
was negatved by vote of IL to 6.
The resolution was ultimately referred to the Com.
mitee on County Offices and the Board shortly after
adjourned to the first Monday in March.

Brooklyn Post Office.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
SIR-Perhaps through your columns may be
able to rouse the citizens Of Brooklyn to take some
steps for the redress of grievance which very ser
ously affects their interest. 1t relates TO the Post
Office, and may be briefly stated thus
Suppose two letters are posted on Monday from
BostoD-the one directed to New York, the other to
Brookiyn-that for New York will be delivered early
on Tuesday morning; whereas the other, by unusual
expedition, may be delivered about noon ON We'd
ncsday. lf-as is my own casc--the person to whom
the Brooklyn letter is directed, should be engaged at
his daily occupation in New York he will not receive
his letter till after post hour Wednesday, so that
no answer can be sent till Thursdays delay equally
prejudical to the interest and temper Of the
parties writing.
Why should not the Brooklyn and New York let
tiers be delivered on the same day? II the Futon
ferry steamers are not sufficient, what forbds con-
tract with the Ericssonl So. BROOKLYN.

Annual Report Of the Commissioners OF Emil
grafton 10 the Legislature.


grafton 10 the Legislature.
The animal report of the Commissioners Of Emf
grafton has been forwarded to the Legislature, and
having had an opportunity to examine it, we present
the following anal ysis =
The report opens with the declaration that " the
year 1852 has been the most important in the history
of the, Commission for the number of diseased and
destitute emigrants thrown under ale charge of the
Commissioners, during winter of uncommon seve-
rity ami Duration" All the buildings at the Marine
Hospita and at Wards Island were filed to over
flowing and it was also for long time necessary to
provide shelter and partial support in the city for
greater number than before Of recently arrived
foreigners Typhus fever, Of the most malignant
kind prevailed extensively, and cholera and small
pox also made their appearance at the Quarantine
and Wards Island, and continued during the sum-
after the ravages Of typhus fever had ceased.
It is stated that a the at the dsposal OF the
Commissioners, as well pecuniary as in buildings
and supplies for the sick and destitute were INSULT
cent to meet these emergencies, without the aid OF
such credit az could be obtained for the time and
such buildings could be procured on lease or 9th
erwisen The approach of summer gradually lessen
ed the demands upon the Commission, and the pre-
sent year has opened under much more favorable
auspices.
The total number Of vessels employed in Conveying
passengers during the year 1852 was 2,l9e The
whole number of passengers landed was $40 ,l44
OF these 39, 152 were citizens, and 3OO,992 aliens.

And this they expect to be increased by April TO
s225 900.
Since the Commission was organized, in May, lS47,
as much 100000 is asserted to have been spent
in the purchase OF lands, erection Of buildings,
wharves, &c.
In view of the present embarrassed condition Of
the fund and the claims upon it, the Commissioners
think it evident, that without some additional in
come the actual debt must continue to augment each
year" slowly, it may be hoped, but inevitably.
They therefore petition that addition of fifty cents
head be made to the present rate of communication.
They also request certain other amendments to the
emgrant laws, which they deem of Importance, but
which it is not necessary to particularize here.
The report closes with some general remarks as to
the management of the business of the Commission,
and is signed by all the Commissioners except Mr..
Dillon, the President OF the Irish Emigrant Society.
This gentleman signs the affidavit required by law,
but further saith not
We have cndeavored to give above fair and
straightforward synopsis of their report, made by
the Commissioners themselves. The attention of the
Legislature is anXously directed to the subject and
We believe that there are several propositions before
that body for introducing important and radical
changes in the laws relating to emigrants.

The number at one time was rs great as 400. On
the LIST of July it was reduced TO about 500, and in
the last week OF the year il was only 31S. Ship fever
was the prevailing disease during the winter and the
aggregate number of cases is put down at 3,040.
The disease is stated to have been very severe and
was accompanied by an augmented mortality, 5l3
having died from it. Allusion is made to the death
Of the late Dr. Doane, Mr.. Butler, the steward, and
DIR. Kingsbury, one of the physicians. The numbers
we're so great that recourse was had to the use OF
the United States public stores for hospital purposes
The cholera visited the institution during the sum-
mer, and carried off l3l inmates At different Pc
RODS smallpox also prevailed extensively among emf
grants from the continent of Europe. There were
67S cases of varioa. The whole number of deaths
in 1852 at the Marine Hospital, was 1861
The Commissioners had required the health Of
oert to perform the duties Of physician in chief, and
also those of superintendent, up to the period of the
death of Dr. Doane, on the 9th January. Since then
they have placed the medical treatment of the sick
under the charge of chief physician and other sa-
laried physicians, with additional temporary medical
aid when required They have also established &C.
parate office of superintendent. The Commissioners
tHelr own altcSt W
the faithful manner in which they have discharged
their duties. During the year considerable repairs
and improvements have been made and having OBJ
tanned lease from the Secretary of the Treasury,
they have converted one of the public stores into
washhouse. They think they have been justified in
doing this, although the property does not belong to
the State.
The Quarantine dock has also been repaired at a
cost of about $4,000.
