As we expected, bold effort was made in the
Board of Aldermen, last night, to rush through
the cut and. dried plan for new City Hall. The
contortions Of some Of the members under the
exposures of the morning Press, were quite anus
ing. One Alderman was especially alarmed at
the idea OF THE TRIBUNE, for Hall large enough
to accommodate all the public business, and VOC
iferated against such enormous extent of walls-at
the same time advocating the cut-and- dried plan
which takes over eighteen hundred feet of outer
wall to inclOse floor surface Of less than 60, 900
square feet-while our idea asks only twenty ne
hundred feet efwal to give 49, 000square feet, or
nearly double the amount of space, with oaly 10
per cent more outer wall. AS to noise, some Of
the speakers, (knOwing that Court was removed
that very day, because the Jury could not hear
what was said, studiously misconstrued the
fact that our idea was to have the Court Room on
the inner side OF the building, beyond the posi-
bility Of disturbance, and said that We took the
Courts fairly up to Broadway, where the noise
could not be endured. The evident intention is
to put the two rear buildings through, for the
benefit Of somebody's marble quarry; but if we
had q vote in the Board, We should wan: more
than six thousand dollars TO gid such an archi-
tectural pill. We trust the people will get
look at the pet plan though we hear that citi-
zens asking have been refused sight of it. Get
document No. So, Board of Aldermen, and see
what a splendid and convenient structure the
wise men of Gotham are preparing for you.
Nothing can be learned of the cost; that is either
unknown or un6isclosed. However, the plan
was, by tight squeeze, referred back last night,
and we hope it will stay referred until the peO-
pie have q chance to know what it is-for to see
il is to condemn it; the plan will neither bear
daylight, nor the structure, if erected ADM. it.

This community and section Of country is in ''ss
of great excitement and commotion, ia conseques's
of the recent election and of several gross volsios

The mos. di.reputable paper in the KINGDOM. -

The most osTePutable paper in the Kingdom"
Thus writes Major Powys respecting The Lon
don Times M. Powys is the Hon. Secretary to
the Central Association in aid Of the Wives and
Families, the Widows and Orphans Of Soldiers
ordered 10 the East. The Times had called
down upon itself this severe amin Aversion from
the Major because it had opened it's columns to
al appeal from Ann Goodwin, widow Of fallen
soldier, whose claim had been rejected BY the
Association, on the ground that her husband on
enlistiDg, had falsely sworn that he was single
man. The Tunes, taking up her cause, protested
sganst the Patriotic Fund being administered in
tie narrow spirit Of workhouse oyer.eer. This
sentiment Of the gallant Majors is doubtless
shared BY the Queen and Court, who have neither
forgotten nor forgiven the attack m.de upon
them for their absence in the HIGH ands at the
present juncture. Her Majesty has lately mani
tested the dudgeon in which she remains by pub
fishing her spprobstory address to the army in
the East in The Morning Post, a paper of mimi
tesimal circulation. instead Of in The Times.
Tbs same sentiment Is cherished by the officers
OF the British Army, who are wrathful at the rs-
