The Board of COuncilmen last night voted pc.
ttion to the Legislature for their pays also, to give
the Mayor elect the use of the Governors room on
New-Yesr's day. Several bills of expenses were
ordered to be paid. The bill to sell the lower end
Of the Park for Post Office site was received from
the other Board, and laid over under the rule. The
event of the evening, however, was the report Of
the Committee on Salaries and Offices, on the ap
pointment of Commissioners Of Deeds. Sixty
seveu names were reported for appointment and re-
appointment. A good deal of feeling was manifested
by some of the members, who thought they had
been badly treated, but the report was finally
adopted and sent to the other Board.

A certain gentleman of the times when men
wore slashed doublets, and said MARRY come
up." and Sirrah," and so forth, in English, and
i'll Spanish dressed likewise and read Cervantes as
cotemporary, having perverse notion in his
head, refused to confess and 20 to mass, and so
accordingly was taken hold of by his fellow-coun-
tymen Of the Holy Inquisition to be tourniquetted
into orthodoxy. At first the muscular recusant
roared like the bull of Bashan but, as the revolver
proceeded with the temperate majesty and GER
tanty Of the spheres on duty, his cries moderated
and by degrees he became calm. 80 How do you
feel now 7" said the Spanish Turner to him, on
stopping the physical revolutons-whch formerly
were considered to carry religious revolutions with
them. "Quite comfortable, thank YOU" said the
Spanish turned; nerves are all gone.' This anec-
dote--which we assure tho reader is au-
thentie-we cite to illustrate, BY comparison.
the situation Of the taxpayers of this city.
They were laid upon the rack by the financial in
quisit@S AT FIRST all their nerves having the
bloom OF the rose and all the exquisite sensbilites
of youth and beauty, responsive to every electrical
influence, and, above all, to every abnormal shock
they cried aloud. They execrated the tax-lsyers
and the tax-gatherers. They sought BY every
means to avoid payment. Instead of the proud
ftaty to the laws which induces men in steady
times, and particularly in unsteady times when
war, pestilence or famine appears, to pay with
alacrty their dues to the municipality, as an evil
dence that they are grateful for good government,
or are ready to protect their neighbors as them
selves against extraordinary dissster-instead Of
this, the effort to avoid taxes became 80 common
as to cease to excite remark. The name Of the
"Forty Thieves" became municipal instead Of an
Oriental term, and the distinction Of alderman was

Commodore Paulding's official account Of the
arrest of Walker is given in our telegraphic dis.
patches. 1t was laid before the Cabinet yesterday
and led to protracted discussion. 1t is not yet
determined whether the Commodore will be sus.
tanned or condemned. The Southern members Of
the Cabinet are advocating leniency toward Walker
but the President insists upon bis trial. Captain
Chatard is to be court.martiaed for not srresting
Walker, and Commodore Pauding is to be court
msrtailed for doing so. Gen. Walker arrived at
Washington last night, and offered himself to Secre
tary Cass. He was informed that he was not q
prisoner, and went on his way rejoicing.

Last night the Aldermen, by vote of l3 to 6,
Endorsed the report OF the Special Committee to
sell TO the United States Government that portion
of the Park lying south and west of the line drawn
from the lower corner of Beekman street to the
lower corner Of Park place. This is the line orig
inally proposed by the Special Committee and con-
templates the opening Of Beekman street into Park
place, thus making the Post-Ofice accessible on all
sides, and giving a much-needed thOroughfare be-
tween the East and North Rivers. The paper was
cent to the other Board where it will be called up
on Thursday. 1t is said that Mayor Wood will
veto If under any circumstances but as the Corpo-
ration Counsel has shown that the city has full au
thority to make the SALE his veto cannot be based
upon sny doubt Of power, but will simply show
that lie opposes the almost universal demand of the
people upon grounds purely personal, either in his
own bahslf OF that of other parties. The Court

considerable debate, the legality, proprety and
honesty of this very nice bargai' was affirmed by
VOTE Of Is to 4. Some additions we're made to the
tax-levy; but the budget was laid over under the
rule. The Board will meet again today.

Advces from Leavenworth of the 18th inst. give
the vote of that city 238 for Slavery and against
it. There was much excitement on account of
Missourians being present and voting. Several Of
them had been arrested and their friend Judge Le-
compte had Immediately issued writs of habeas cor
pus for their release. The form of oath admins.
tered to challenge voters was transparent fraud.
They were simply required to swear that they were
.. the very instant inhabitants of the Territory. It
was rumored that Gov. Denver had issued an order
for the arrest of Gen. Lane.

which the Board Of Education elaim to have
added 10 the eshu ate.
II does not follow, however because it is lawful
to raise the amount thus called for BY the Board Of
Education that il muAt necessarily be raised. The
limit fixed is the maxim um; although the reasons
given by the Resisory Boa for cutting down the
claims of the Board Of Education may prove par
italy unfounded, there ma, yet remain abundant
reasons for keeping the school expenditure within
the limit sought to be imposed upon it. One very
strong reason, not to mention any others, is the
great danger lest the taxpayers become FESTIVE
under so heavy burden, and lest in their struggles
against it, the whole city school system may come to
the ground.

The tax levy as voted on Monday evening BY the
Common Council includes for schools the sum OF
S1,OI6,O5O 49, This was the amount admitted by
the Revisory Board as within the power of the
Board of Education to call for, thus striking out
from the estimate of that Board, beside the Sl25,
900 for defcencies of the year 1854, which has
been subject of litigation between the Board OF
Education and the Controller, aid as to which the
Supreme Court decided against their claim, the
additional sum of SlO9,96? required for the SER
vice of the present year. The Board Of Education
deny. however, that the refusal Of this last men-
TONED sum can be sustained on the ground taken
BY the ReyisOry Board. Their estimate OF the
amount v hich the Board of Education has night
TO call for omts the sum Of s2l2 $50, equal to the
amount apportioned TO the county from the State
funds. the addition Of which will bring the $1O9,'
962 within legal limits, and leave an excess Of
SlO2 600 besides. Upon this question the facts
seem 10 be with the Board of Education, the Re
yisory Board having apparently fallen into an error
of calculation.
A. TO the other sum Of 1925, 900 to supply the
deficiency of 1854, the Board of Education main
tain that the only way of relieving them from EN-
barrs.sment of that debt is H. raise that extr;
sum By way of addition to current expenses; bu
TO avoid any question about exceeding the limit
of the law they are willing to reduce their call FOL
the present year to 800, 900. 1t would thus ap
