PosIPoNENEST OF THE FERRY SALE.-The leases
of Peck slip and Grand-stree Ferries TO Williams burgh
were to have been sold at auction for ten years yester
day afternoon, at o'clock. A large crowd Of capital
ists including George Law of the South Tenth.sreet
Ferry, and William Laytin Of the Peck-slp Company,
ex-Mayor Wall, and many other Wliamsburghers
Were attendance ready to bid for the leases but they
were all doomed to disaI pointmen. AT the hour ap-
pointed Messis Miller Ludlow, the auctioneers
nounced that the sale postponed 10 day TO be
named in the newspapers.
Much dissatisfaction was expressed that the leases
w,re not sold at once. The reason for postponng
lie in the fact that the advertisement announcing the
lettrg did not include the ferry from Grand street to
South Seventh street, commonly called Division
rue Ferry il ought to have done, and also that the
published terms Of sale not sufficiently clear
and explicit. These facts, together with the illness
Of the Controller, whom the Mayor thought should
be present al the sale to explain any matters dis
pute which night arise led the Mayor and City
Chamberlain the Controller concurring, to put off the
sale. The advert semen announ ing the sale must be
published thirty days according olaw the sale there
fore, will take place tin time in December.
There are rumors afoat that the old Peck-slp COM
papy and George Law have amicaby arranged mat
tiers, and intend TO form new Company under the
new lease. We have been unable to trace the rumoi
to any reliable source.
