The House Naval Committee. after q pro
trocted and thorough investigation. has decided
that the new Nayy-Yard shall be located al
New London, Conn. AS we have already init
mated we believe this judicious decision. We
are not fully convinced that it is advisable, IN
these times, to construct another Nayy-Yard;
but, if it be, NcwLondon is the place for 1t.

So it appears that, instead Of largely adding
to the taxes as fixed by the Aldermen tho Legis-
lature made a reduction to tho respectable
amount Of $I72G24. The Aldermen purposely
omitted the items for Central Park Deficiency
and for Interest, well knowing that they must
be put in at Albany; and We are not sure but
the large addition for Judgments is necessary
to satisfy claims that have passed the Courts
but Of this We cannot speak with certainty.
Taxpayers will observe with satisfaction the
crushing out Of the Aldermen's 100000 for
" National Purposes" or Japanese entertain
ments, also, of 100000 for a Fire Telegraph
a big job for somebody; also, Of $780, 600 for
fixing Russ Pavement-another job that has
been on the carpet for five years. The $40, 600
for improving He'll Gate is very properly thrown
out-such work belongs to the General Govern
ment. Another suspicious item was 1000
for yesetting Monument Stones on tho Ooruers

in tho matter:
The CITY TAX LEVY.

1t appears that the Citizens Committee had
induced tie Committee on Cities and Villages
10 cut down the Aldennen's estimates nearly
500, 900; but when the bill came into the
Legislature the lobby were too much for the
citizens, and their Winters work was quickly
neutralized. The wrath already displayed
at the City Hall is healthy sign
and proves that If the Citizens Committee did
not effect all that was hoped in the reduction OF
totals, they did what was equally important in
tying the hands of those who are TO handle the
money
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1864-05-07

of unopened streets But the btterest pill for the
City Hall Legislators is the cutting out Of nearly
100000 which they had voted to themselves
as salaries. We do not undertake to justify the
increase here and there made by the Legis-
lature, but il should be stated that in most III
stances they have taken Controller Brennans
estimates for their guide. The Aldermen have
FASTENED TO n,ore two Of the Legislatures adj
ditions--S4O, OGO for Roman Catholic Asyums;
but they could muster only five dollars Tor an
Asylum for Blind Mechanics, and five dollars
more for an Incbriate Asylum. 1t is evident,
from the ill-tempcr displayed in the City Hall,
that the careful restriction in the Tax bill about
the transfer of appropriations Is the main cause
Of trouble; there would be no hesitation in ap-
proving all the Legislative additions it, as
in years past, they could be diverted to such
channels as the Common Council might select.
And perhaps oven this Spiteful temper will work
for the good of the Taxpayers, since tho Alder
mon have stricken out almost everything not
proposed in their ordinance OF March last; and
az they arc pOwerless TO restore the items re-
jcotcd by the Legislature, the result is a reduc-
ton of their own budget by the sum of
S6I7, 2O9 To set the matter still more clearly
in Wow. we reproduce the following figures
from The Transcript, the official organ OF the
City Government. These figures represent the
City portion of taxation after deducting appro-
priations for Aims House Department and Inter

POsTPoNENEST OF LAYING THE ATLANTIC TELE-
GRAPH--Ihed determination of the Atlantic Tele-
graph company To postpone laying their cable
from 1901 TO 1865 Is not caused it is stated by
lack OF faith in the possibility of establishing 4
perfect and practicable Geographic communica-
ton between the old and new world, or by any
want OF funds to carry out contracts already
entered into, but only by a desire to make still
further scientific and thorough inquiries regard
ing the best size, structure and materials for the
cable. The science of submarine telegraphing is
comparatively so new, that every hour of intelli-
gent investigation and experiment adds something
TO 1T. The Directors of the Atlantic Telegram
Company have much at stake, and they wish to
leave no effort untried to make their enterprise a
great and profitable success. The EXTREMIST care
IL necessary with regard to the cable, because,
when once laid, it must be abided by, as it can
not be taken up and mended like a railroad track.
n recent letter, from an officer of the company
IN London. says that they are now considering
the adoption of a form of cable which is so
strong, and yet of so light a specific gravity, that
Is miles of 1t can be suspended in the water from
the stern OF 4 vessel without breaking. The COM
pany have not a shadow of doubt of the ultimate
success OF their undertaking..
