Claims to q Large Estate in New York

1t will be remembered that some thr..
years ago we gave an account Of the actidcr
cal discovery of some old title deeds, to O.
large landed property in New York ami Nrr
Jersey. which had been lost for wears. aut
which the heirs had been unable to disr,vr-
that the property covered by those title, 50,
located in the heart of New York city. an
was Of immense value: and that a numie.
of the heirs. resided III the city Of O.wcs
and that step. would be taken to recover poo.
session of the property from the occupant,
&c. This statement ofours elected cxtcu,S.
inquiry in regard to the matter and excite.
much interest.
Since that period little has been heard
the matter BY the public Bur the her,
have not in the meantime, been idle The
have been industriously engaged in huntiu:
up and ferrcting out other evidence and fac,
bearing upon the subject, and organizing
and preparingfo for an application to the court.
for possession OF the property they claim
In regard to the estate involved. we are IN
formed that the city of New York occupies -
large amount of it. embracing some twenty
FIVE lots i'll the Park on Broadway, ant
Chambers street, and there are many othn.
pieces IN different parts of the city, occupied
by private parties. The heirs have brough:
to light deeds of interest in the Teller estate
running from Chambers street up Broadway
TO about the centre of the block, between
Readc and Pearl streets, thence to Corlear-
Hook, thence back 10 Chambers. near Cha'
ham. The heirs claim ouc-thrd interest H.
this property which was sold by the Teller
to David Provost and to his widow Chri,tiann
Provost The clamof the heirs al-0 extends
over n large amount of property in Ne" JrT
sey, Newburg in lister county, 81.
Having accumulated the necessary proof
and evidence of title. and made all the nc,,..
sary arrangements, we understand the heir
will commence suits of ci"rtmcnt next mOn;l
against the city of New York and ndividua
occupants of property claimed. 1t will w.
very apt to Great" Il sensation, and the heir
and the counsel we learn, are confident -.
final success IN recovering possession.
One Of the heirs in O>wrgo, is Mr.. \ Mil,
An old, respected. and well known citizen
who has been very actv" in the inv"s'iys
ton of the subject. and ha- been in~trn.eu.
tai in discovering muchof the strong cyidrusr
Of title. He has been employed by the heir,
for this purpose, aud is one Of the trustees Of
the association. We shall await the i.,u"
of this importont matter with much interest

The Government Finances.

The wheels IF the government must be
kept in motion. The President takes the
ground that Congress, having had full ex-
position of the condition and wants of the
treasury. ought To originate and carry through
a measure cor the supply Of deficiencies in
the revenue. without waiting for distinct
application from him. But if Congress do
not take efficient measures before the lst of
February To supply the treasury, he will send
ia Il social message advising them Of the
necessity to which he may be driven Of call
ing the next Congress together, in special
session. \ special recommendation from the
President of loan, would perhaps tend To
defeat tho measure; at least no specific mea-
sure would derive strength from the Pres-
dents recommendation.
The Pacific railway and the French spoil
atiou> will serve To amusc and employ the
Senate for two weeks, while the House will
have enough 10 to in forwarding the apprO-
priation bills. The subject of supply Of
money for the treasury by loan, treasury
notes. or an increase Of the rates of duties
will not come up in Jhc House before Februa-
