A long debate was held in the Board of Council
men last evening in reference to concurng with the
Aldermen in compelling the proprietors of the

Greenpoint as often as the Tenth street company.
The motion was lost for want of a constitu.
tional vote. A motion to concur with the other
Board in appropriating $4,000 for Central Park
improvements was also tabled for want of
the requisite vote. The Finance Committee re-
ported that there was no other alternative
for the city but to pay the amount of Robert W.
Lowbers judgment, and thus prevent the proposed
seizure OF the city property. I'm nediatey after the
adjournment of the Board, Mr. Ottarson affirmed, in
the hearing of Mr.. Lowber, who was present. that
he swindled the city, which that gentleman denied,
and committed an assault upon Mr. Ottarson by
hnJI;
separated, and there the quarrel probably ended.

tions were afforded. The report of the Committee
is quite strong, and will no doubt provoke q re-
oinder from the Quarantine Commissioners. An

to the emigrant laws and their effects upon the
passenger traffic between New York and Havre.
