COMMITTEES OF THE COUNCILMEN.


The Committee on Wharves, Piers and Slips, of the
Board of C0uncilmen, advertised meeting for three
O'Clock last evening" order to hear evidence relative
to the landing Fall River and Stoningon steamboats,
above Grand street in the East River the
new piers and other matters. No meeting was held,
however.
The Committee Ferries, same branch Of the Oorpo-
ration met also last evening" and heard parties interest
ed in the running OF ferry the North river from
New York TO Pavonia in New Jersey ferry from
Thirty street East river New York to Hun
ters Point on Long Island and with regard to more
frequent running Of boats Catherine ferry Brook
ln between the hours of midnight and four O'Clock in
the morning.
The Terry to Hunters Point was recommended by many
citizens at the other side of the river and the running
the night boats from Catherine ferry was opposed in
behalf CT the ferry company, the grounds that the
passengers taken would not pay by for gas
lights and that only thieves and burglars would be
conmodated The cost would be 81 SOC year and the
receipts not $780, Also that but few Brooklyn people
had applied for the extra boats, and that the New
Workers did not really want them after twelve O'Clock at
night.
The matter Of the frequent running Of bosts on
the Green Point and Tenth street ferry heard
No definite decision TO in any case but reports
promised.
The Committee Police, same Board, met also, and

Slate EinaNcsn.

! Fer sorno weeks past the Richmond Examiner
and other Democratic papers have been sounding
an alarm in reference to the condition of cur State
/ finances. We ara told that the Treasury is ex-
hausted, and that the State cannot meet any Of
the drafts now made upon her. The Enquirer,
on the other hand, says there will be handsome
surplus in tho Treasury after paying the January
interest upon the State bonds. This statement is
quito unintelli.ible. The taxes coming into the
Treasury between this time and the Isl of Janu.
airy. certainly cannot make up the deficiency. 1t
is asceriaiued, we have heard, that the ndsbted-
ness of the State exceeds the amount raised by
taxation By nearly six hundred thousand dollars.
To relieve this embarrassment, Mr. Holiday, of
the Board of Public Works, has gone to England
with view of selling our State bonds; but the
pressure in the money market there will prevent
his accomplishing anything
What is to be done, is a question which the
wisdom Of our Legislators, soon to assemble. must
decide. To carry on the internal Improvements
now undot way and pay off the existing demands
win squire amount of taxation which
the people will be very unwilling to bear; but at
present we can see no other alternative. The
Examiner and Enquirer, the two leading Demo.
cratic papers Of the State, and therefore very in.
auential with the Legislature, concnr in recon
mending the entire substitution of Independent
Banks, based upon State stocks, for the old sys.
ten. This plan would undoubtedly create a de-
maud for State stocks in our midst, and insure a
large sale As the charters Of the old Banks are
about to expire, the question will DO one of the
first and most important TO come before tn. Legls-
lature. From our present limited acquaintance
with the subject, we are unwilling to become the
parlizan of either system; but we believe the pre-
vailing sentiment in the State is, that if the old
Banks are re chartered, their privileges should be
considerably restricted.

We alluded las, week to the TACT that the Bril-.
ish papers were all agog about iilibuster inva
sion of Ireland from this country, which they
said was under way. The Lordon Times, par
ticuarly, threatened terrible things against Broth
er Jonathan on account of these piralical eXFed
lions. How such an unfounded aud absurd repor
ob.ned belief in England is mystery, but pos
.ibly the bankers had something 10 do with origi
mating it, The New York Post publishes let
ter from Mr.. Mckinney, banker, Strand. Lon
don, 20 a Mr. Mcclure, banker, Wall street, New
York, which looks like an attempt to get up 9
psnic in the stock market. Mr.. Mckinney says
"In conversation had the honor to hold with
Lord PaImerston last nght. he informed me that
he had received authentic information from his
arents in the United States that no less than Hr-
tn vessels had left the port of New York. fnll}
manned and equipped for a flibusiering descent
upon lreland-and that as many more had already
departed from Boston, Charleston, and New Or
leans, for the same prrposel His lordship assured
me that the British government were already on
the alert, and had despatched all the available ma
val force at its disposal to intercept them in their
piratical designs. The island Of Ireland is now
surrounded, and win be defended by sufficient
force to prevent any successful aggression Of that
portion OF her Majesty's dominions."
Was ever anything more ridiculous! The
writer proceeds to say that a war with the Uni
States would be very popular with all classes in
England. II the whole letter be not a hoax, we
can explain i! in no other way than by surprising
that Mr.. Mckinney wishes to buy Americas
bonds.
The Washington Star suggests that the war
furry is designed by Great Britain to check Eng
fish capitalists from investing thei funds in Amer
lean securities, and to increase the bullion in the
Bank of England by the sale of such American
stocks as are now held in this country.
