and is confident that war is at hand
The intimate friends of the ministers do
not conceal that the assistance of France
is reckoned upon. The Government
has assumed such position that if war
does not occur, its term of office must be
exceedingly short; and the confidence is
so great in Count Cavour's strong sense
that the Italians cannot believe he will
stultify himself in the eyes of the coun-
try. They, therefore, fully believe that
war is at hand.

How CORPORATION WORK Is CHARGED FORA.
the meeting Of the Board of Aldermen on Monday
evening the Msyor had occasion TO veto one of the
mspy reckless resolutions that have originated in that
branch Ct the Common Council. This was directing
the Coptroer TO draw his warrant in favor of James
Reed for 81 l5 g. for work executed for the Corpora
ton. II appears that Mr.. Reed was employed by
Charles Devlin, or biz Supsrnterdents Of Repairs and
Supplies TO do sndry req airs to the City Hal base
ment engEe-houses, station-houses, parks, &C., and
resolution passed last Summer requiring the
Street Commissioner to pay the bills, found to be
correct. Mr. Reed recently came before the Common
Council with statement that tie bills had been lost
bat their amount was g. 5i g. and he was desrous Of
having III, sum psid. 4 resolution was then pushed
through in the oosest manner requiring the Controller
TO pay without the bills. The Mayor, on ihvest-
eating could not find that the bills for 81 l5i Ga hsd
ever been presented at the Street Department. but he
found other bills for similar work aud these bills salts
fed him that enoher imposition sought to be per-
petrated upon the city. The Mayor thinks the
81 l5i Ga part and parcel Of the bills recently found
amounting to - 379 %, awaiting payment. These
bills are objected to on account of their inconsistency
the days labor amounting to nearly double the eX-
p.nse Of the materil used when the reverse might bs

in repairs to tie City Hall Park, and to werk up that
material 81 days work are charged at s2 each, amount

their apparent inconsistency and some of them have
