This bill !. designed especial! TO relieve tie City
Of New-lork from sOne OF the serious financial
Glfcultie. under which Il at present hbor, tro n
an abuse now rapidly on the increase. No less
than - suits have been commenced against the
Corporation of New York since the lst ot Janu-
sry all cases OF yslld aud undoubted claims y IN
rot one of which had request of payment been
made on the Controller previous to the coumenc-
ing of suit. OF these 10 suits, three are Tor the
salary Of an officer who had sold out bis claim IN
three portions TO a. many men, each oi whom en-
tered suit duplicating costs on a claim which had
never been demanded, aud the payment OF which
of course CanDot under the present law be
successfully contested. Another clause ot the bill
!. Intended to relieve the city in such crisis as
low exists. Tie tax levy not being passed the
Controller is precluded from paying anything,
although there i, abundance of funds IN the
Treasury Without doing injustice 10 anybody,
the Legislature can, by the passage Of this bill,
relieve the city from the nhiction of unnecessary
costs. Why should Il net.

II seems 10 BE- almost universally conceded that,
for tie protection Of the public health, 1t Is de'r-
able 10 have all vessels infected with yellow lever
come 70 anchor and remain for GischarginS and
purifcstion al an anchorage below The NarrO"s;
and the staten Island interest contend that no
cases OF yellow fever should De sent LcIeaitci W
! the Marine Hospital.
Those representing the Chamber Of Commerce
object to the anchorage in the Lower Bay, on the
| assumption that vessels cannot be hghtered ana
clesn.ed there, on account of what Is termed the
