alexandria" in Saturdays Gazette, does
not seem to correctly understand the objec-
tons to changes in the proposed bill to amend
our City Charter. it is to the manner OF
making alterations that attention was direct
ed. and not to the matter, Of which the OBJ
iector has no knowledge. The action taken
by the City Council was publc-it was known
that the subject was in hand for long time
opportunity was afforded for enquiry and
sugeeston-tbc bill proposed, unanimously
approved by Council, and sent to the Legs
lature, was public act, and, surely, under
such circumstances, private alteration can
not be justified. y. y.

Money ALTERS.

The New York bank statement to be made
m on Saturday, will probably show some de-
crease in the specie line, as the week commenc'
ed with falling average, and there has been an
increase of $350OOe in the sub.'reasury bal
ance, and some drafts 10 meet from other pia-
c,s, The California instalment received on
Friday came to hand too late to have much
effect upon the average, There appears TO be
some difference Of opinion as TO the loan move
ments, but the probabilities seem to be IN Ia
yor of some little expansion.
The imports of dry goods at New YoIk las.
week amounted to 81 ,075Os3, and the amount
thrown on the market was $l,49s,l5l, an IN
crease of $292,335 as compared with same
week last year. The value OF the exports from ao
the same port during the week was 81, 20 o.

been duly completed under the auspices OF

pay for the services Of experimenting en-
gineer) was $4,000. Its total cost was
S73 Ol0, exclusive of what Congress may al
low Mr.. Coyle for his services.
