srI.-The preamble and resolutions offered by Aid.
Peek on Monday night, against the action OF the Su
pervisors in claiming TO have entire control over the
correction Of the tax lists and the inquiry as to whether
the Supervisors legally constructed body, s said
to be founded on the private opinion OF Mr. Busted,
that the law making the new Board of Supervisors is
uncor sttutiona. This private opinion will probably
soon be sent to the Board Of Aldermen and made pub
lie. Those who read the opinion of MIR. Busteed some
weeks ago to the Supervisors declaring that said
Board alone had the power to correct tax lists, and
that the Common Council, in exercising that authority,

prepared to make the Supervisors out illegally
sttuted body. The Supervisors have neglected to fix
the salary of Mr. Busted as Counsel to the County.
1t seems they have not appreciated his services, not
whstanding his fatteiing opinions sent to them from
time to time and they ungrateful at recent
session. as to censure him for allowing certain claims
refused payment by them to go by default against
the city. The confidence the public has reason to
place in the Board of Supervisors, in consequence of
their favorable contrast to the Common Council in
preventing further corruption in county affairs, re-
fusing to pay swindng claims, and their general aim
at economy in public expenses, have naturally ex-
cited strong desire on the part of members of
the Common Council and the horde of greedy con-
tractors around the City Hall, to the newly-con
structed Board annihiated.

Bulls HEAp.-The total number Of beef cattle
yarded in FoIty-fourth street on Tuesday footed up
> 333 and notwithstanding il expected that there
would be an addition TO the number for estay,
the market was decidedly better for dIovers than IT
was the week previous; that is, without advancing
the price per pound, they obtained more per head
because, the market being velier better estimates
Of weights obtained, ana a very much larger
proportion of the stock sold than on Tuesday Of
last week. The average quality of the stock this
week is decidedly better than it was last week; and,
should the market hold out as good throughout as il
opened the average of the sales will be about c.
pound net higher than the average of last week.
very large portion of the cattle sold on Tuesday
will range over lie. pound net, and all the best,
such as st-rate stil-fed cattle, sold at 12c pound
for the beef and some Of them at l2ie The GOODNESS
of the weather was of the causes that made the
market better; and the prospect of a north east
storm, which commenced in the afternoon, had the
effect of bringing buyers forward on Tuesday, instead
Of holding of, as they did last week, till Wednesday
afternoon, when the state OF the market was half
cent better than it was in the afternoon Of Tuesday.
Several entire droves were sold out this week on the
first day. and very few Of any sort sold less than oc
a pound and many Of only fair quality, for retail
market beef averaged lllc. pound net for the
whole drove. There is large number oil olstiiery'
fed cattle in market this week. the owners of which
feel jolly. The market closed the first day with
buoyant hopes on the part Of all owners, OF a good
time generally.
