In the foregoing statement, made by Mr. Bates,
ne tlus speaks IL note
Il have not atten pied to give the cost or the prs-
sent value OF the buildings, the extensive nes of
plpes reservoirs, ga5ometers etc., connected with
to the cost and value Of the landed
property occupied by those works. with this excep-
dad in the purchase from Gen. Harvie.

have not embraced in this report the lots on Hem
y rendieton and Wythe squares, for the that
tn 70 was an existing contract convey them TO the
Richmond and York River Railroad Company a nor
ton OF the purchase money having been paid.
IN ADDITION to the property enumerated in the
foregoing table, the city has, in my opinion valid
right under the original act establish the town of
Richmond in l742 TO the land the north bank of
James River and south of the property now owned NV
the James River and Kanawhs COMPANY which was
condemned for the purpose and use of the Richmond
Dock, and extending from point about half way be-
tween 2ls and I'D streets the eastern line of th
street. having unequal widths and length of from
$50 to goo feet upon the river This property has not
think been heretofore listed, bat is evidently por
ton OF the commons as described by the act of 1742
and which the city subsequently, authorised to
sell by special act of Assembly.
The Quay on the Dock, for which no deed has yet
been made by the James River and Kanawha Com
pany, consider worth S20, Goo.
do not feel at liberty to permit this opportunity
to pass without again asking the attention of the
Council to the valuable water power which the city
possesses IN her pump house dam and pond, and the
eligible water sites she owns below the pump house,
And, II to these, add the extensive range for
ufactorles extending from the line of the pump house
lot to the Iredes ar property with the ability of the
city to supply the water power there Is presented
wide field for manufacturing purposes, and source

| Running ofa Mave-Richard, slave to Mr.. P.

committed to the cage, on the charge of aiding

free State. Capt. w. is prepared to prove that

well and that 7. was now in free State. Rich
ard is the uncle of the fugitive, and being man of
bad character there seems to be little no doubt
that he is guilty of the charge alleged against him.
1t is also stated that the prisoner said TazeweN left
here in one Of the steamers running from this port
| to Northern one.
The City Debt-to the 1st of March, 1s56--amount.
ed to s2,O60 LOO &c. According to the estimate of
the chamberlain, the disbursements for the pre-.
sen. year, ending the lst of March, 1857 including
the interest falling due the city debt viii amount
| to S427,355 IS. The estimated receipts for the
same period of time, from all sources other than
taxes, $l54 54S 20 leaving deficit to be made nm
by taxes of $272 s07 As Our readers will readily
perceive by the above, to what extent they are to
be taxed to preserve untarnshed the credit of our
city, and we know that they will bear the burden
without complaining.
Quick York the fact that the
books in the Chamberlans office were two wears
in arrears, the annual statements have been pre-
pared and made ready for the printers, at least
two months earlier this year, than they were in
1854.
Disorderly-John w. Howle was fined 81 for

market was fined IS by the Mayor yesterday

city. Smith proved that he had engaged the fish
some time before they were brought to market, but
as no price was fixed on them, and they were paid
for in the city. the Mayor very properly decided
| that the ordinance against huekstering had been
violated, and therefore the fine was imposed.
Mammoth EgS-Mrs. Heckler, near Fairfield,
sent US hen egg yesterday, that measured seven
