Office to-day, delivering long message. On
the retirement Of Mayor Opdykc he was es-
corted by q committee of prominent citizens,
with band Of music, to neighboring hotel,
where an address was delivered and festi-
val INDUCED in.

that the city debt is SEQ, 100000, probably
arising from the fact, as stated in his ad-
dress, that the system Of local government is
lacking in that simplicity so necessary to
economy and efficiency, ard that the sub di-
vision Of functions, ard the want Of respons.
ib:lity, has led US TO extravaganza aud NULL
fcation.
II is stated that the Stonington steamers
have been purchased by merchants in New
York and Boston.
