ne Legislative cpartmtnf.-The report on organ
Ling the Legislative Department Of the City Govern
hat was called up by Aid. STEERS, who urged that
L the duties in the office of the Clerk of Common
ioupc we're about TO increase largely, il was neces-
ay to adopt the report. The report is the same as
ss:ed in the COuLcimen, except that two additional
esis are provided for, and the salaries raised OF
ace whose duties will increase. The report was
lstCpted.
Zoe Special Committee the subject OF removing the
steamboat lar dss, made long report on the SUBJECT
The report saws the Committee have taken broad
view OF the matter aud conclude that the effort to
lcOrfpe ali the trade and commerce OF New-fork
Into one small Triangular section Is futile ana visionary
The substance Of the objections TO removing the places
N landing before the Committee was that the inter-
Il. transportation through the city would be increased,
witch resscIiDg the Committee disappfove OF, and
Wrtend that the expense vi the removal OF freight
Shtm landings further up the Ilvef would be no evil
l0 loss. The remOnstrarts bel lie the COmmttee
wed that they had subjected themselves to large ex-
| DaHures in building structures for the sccommoda-
1 tmM passengers and the landing OF freight These
| Ortsys, the Committee however think must be very
signhc ant, compared with the benefits to the pub
kind Of structure erected the whaves aud piers is
Unlawful and monopoly of the public highway for
exclusive and private uses. The Committee say they
are unable 10 appreciate the equitable OF legal pre-
sunptve nights claimed TO be possessed oy some OF
the Hnes by virtue of their leases and that the pri-
yate interests Of the liner canbOt prevail against the
paramount right and duty OF the cry 70 regulate the
use of the public waters Gn0 slips Ia manner the
best for The pubic benefit. The Committee,
therefore bold that the lsnciug Of this steam
boats at their presers beItAs, crowded with
miscellaneous shipping, is serious inconveniece
Robustness generally, aOd dangerous 70 lie aud prop
giy, ard that their removal 20 points higher up
