ar, msn - whence il follows, Of course, that the
greater part of the profits OF the trade must 90 into
Sor+hern nocket,. These vessels are estimated to
ship COO nesroe, each from the AIR can coast OF
whom 500 are landed ct the port of destination. A.
lowing $1,000 for each vessel for brokerage and
commission from the port whence she 'ai., $1,000
on e,ch vessel for wsges for officers aud men Slo
, head for the purchase of negroes on the African
coast and S42 to secure the landing OF each negro
at the port of delivery, the whole cost would come
up to $1,476,O0O. Twenty thousand negroes a.
$500 head would produce SlO,0oO,OOO, or clear
profit of 3, 900, or upon two voyages year
upward of ST., 900 OOO Of which according TO this
calculation, the greater part must go into Norhern
pockets.
Now, there are only two countries In which
slaves from Africa can be landed at all viz, Cubs
and Brazil, and ii is well known that for three or
four years past the importation into Brazil has
almost entirely ceased. The great bulk Of the I'M
pOrtation, then, must 60 to Cuba. But here ARISES
difficulty which, before it can expect to have its
statement believed The Herald will do well TO solve.
II i, stated in another column Of the same paper
which contains this calculation, that the balance OF
trade with Cubs is so much against US, that 81
Havana exchange on New-York ranges ct dis
count Of from CT to per cent But il, in addition
to the other things that send thither, Northern
men accumulate an annual debt against Cuba for
slaves imported, to the amount of $lO,OOo,ooo or
SO, OOO. OOO would not that bring the trade be-
tween the countries to pretty even balance,
or rather turn the scale quite to our side
1t is undoubtedly true that the larger part Of the
vessels by which the African slave-trade is stu
carried on are fitted out in American ports-the
greater part of them, we suspect from this port Of
New.York. But il is also, we doubt not, equally
true that nearly all of these vessels-the number
and capacity of which, as well as the rate of profits
on the operation, are, we suspect god deal
oyerestimated by The Herald-are owned and
fitted out by foreigners, principally Portuguese
and that Of the profits realized by the operation
only very small part go into American pockets
and as to those who do share the profits, they be-
long, we suspect, not to the class whe have any
thing to say against Southern Slavery, but rather to
that class which, on that subject sympattze en-
tirely with TAc HeralE.

The new bills affecting the City of New-iork
were PRESENTED in the Assembly on Saturday. These
acts are five in number, viz: An Amended Charter;
a Police Bill; Central Park Bill; City Hall Bill;
a bill Amending the Law ia regard to Supervisors
They are the result of long deliberation and free
conference among many Of the most respectable
and intelligent citizens representing all parties and
al interests Their preparation was undertaken
with the design of efec;iDg immediate and per-
JUDGED opponent will acknowledge, upon careful
perusa that no attempt has been made to asgran-
die the party now in power in the State, nor to
oppIess that in the majority in the city. The bug
bear Of putting the city under ruers from the
country, and the cry against viudctiye legislation
alike fall to the ground As we are unable to ind
room for the bills in full this morning, we make
brief summary of their provisions.
Tie Amended Charter is substantially the same
d. that Ci 1850, adding the better portions of the
amendments Of 1895. Ii vests the Legislative
power in a Board Of Aldermen and Board Of As
sistsnts; enc Alderman from each Assembly Dis.
triCt, and one Assistant from each Ward-.he
former elected for two years and the latter for one
These Boards are regulated as now, but the mem
btIs are debaIIed from receiving any salary, fees or
ray whatever for services as legislators. TGe Ex-
ecu.iye power is in the Mayor and heads OF Depart
mcnts The Mayor is elected for. two years;
tie Controller also ia elected. for three
years. All other heads Of Departments
axe appointed BY Tire Aldermen on the Mayors
nomination. The heads &C burtaux VIII be nom
rated by the heads Of The Departments aud confirm

received tbese communications con6aentially; aud
secondly, thu. having so received them, he conn.,
dentiAlly communicated the fact TO the Con-
gressional Committee.
Ii is said, however, that the real intent OF tue
new law compelling witnesses to testify before
Congressional Committees, is not TO give authority
and efficiency 10 Congressional investigations, but
in fact to gag the press. We are gravey told that
tie main function Of the press is to place before the
public information privately communicated to ed
tors BY men enjoying from their petition particular
opportunities for Information, but the publication
Of which they are unwilling to have made on their
responsibility or to have in any way connected with
their names-which function, so it is represented,
will be efectually impeded, if editors are liable 10
be called before Congressional Committees and re-
CURED to state all they know on the subject Of
charges contained in their papers against official
persons or bodies.
But neither do We consider the utility Of the
pres. to depend so essentially on the publication Of
that peculiar sort of information the communications
of which are unwilling TO be known, nor yet do we
perceive bow the law objected to can stand the
least in the way Of the full, legitimate use to which
apy such information can be put. No wise man,
editor or other will ever make positive charge Of
nature to require or to justify Congressional in
vestgatiOn upon the strength of information COM
muricated TO HIM Of which he is not at liberty to
make use TO sustain his charges. This kind of in
formation, to be of any value, must have
as it frequently does have, basis
wholly independent of the mere personal testimony
of the communication. The value Of such informa'
ton principally consists in putting into ones hand
clue which, being duly followed up, leads to facts
which may be established by entirely independent
testimony. In this view such communications may
be put to valuable use; but so long a. they remain
mere tttletattle, and tittetatte too Of which one
is not at liberty to give up the author, they must
form very poor staple out of which to construct
Newspaper.
