MATTERS OVER THE RIVER.

FINAL REPoRT.-On Thursday evening,
The City Council will meet to re3eive and act
upon the hhal report Of the Committee appointed
10 negotiate for the purchase ofthe Water Works
property. MIR. Berkinbihe, the engineer ap-
pointed to assess the value of the property, will
have an accompanying report. The question is
one OF great importance TO our citizens, and has
given rise to considerable diversity OF opinion IN
regard to the purchase OF the property. Some
are opposed to paying any more than the proper
tionate value OF the stock, which has always
been below par, ranging from seventy to seventy
five cents on the dollar Others are willing to
take il at its assessed value by the Committee,
which is claimed t. be a decided advantage to
the city. All agree, however, with few excep-
tions, that the city should own the property.
CoUNTERFETTERs SENTENCED, - Two
men named Brown and Hetzler were sentenced,
Yesterday, to five years in the State Prison, for
passing counterfeit money. The Court seems
determined to visit the extreme penalty OF the
law upon all such offenders. Our CITY and the
inland villages have long been the chosen fields
of operation for those who ''shove the queer :"
and so much counterfeit money has been
passed, that suspicion often clings to genuine
notes. Poor shop keepers and counry dealers
suffer no little loss from their visits, which have
been so frequently repeated that the public
baye become incensed. No mercy will be shown
them hereafter.

PROBABLE HOMICIDE-THE CAPTAIN OF
BRITISH BRIG SUPPOSED TO BE MORTALLY
WoUNDED-ONE OF HIS CREW CHARGED WITH THE
OFFBEsE. This morning an outrage occurred
upon board the English brig 1heod0JNS lying at
the loot OF DickPrson street wharf, lust below
cumstanCes were these:-An Irish seaman,
giving his name as Morris Abrahams, or Morris
A. Hearn, one OF the crew of the The0d0ruS.
went aboard the brig at an early hour. Captain
Joseph H. Cox was on deck at the time, and
ordered Abrahams to go to work. He imme-
diately discovered that he was disposed to give
indications of insubordnation, AMI made due
preparations to enforce obedience. Abrahams
had been locked up for several days, having
been suspected of an intention to desert Angry
words and an alteration followed, when the
seaman drew a sheath knife and plunged it into
the left side of Captain Cox, and also cut him on
the cheek and forehead. Officer John Crawford,
Constable OF the Fifth Ward, who was at hand,
assisted by Officers John O'Donnell and James
Nolen, went aboard the brig, and arrested Abra-
hams, and brought him before Alderman DOUGH-
erty, who committed him and two other parties
who were present 10 prison, upon the charge OF
assault and battery with intent to kill to await
the result of Captain CoX's injuries.
The brig was preparing to Gear from this port
for Gibraltar this morning, and preparations
were being made at the time the assault was
committed. At the time the assault was made
the offender was entirely sober, and the attack
entirely uHprovoked.' He was very boisterous
in his action, and was exciting others OF the
crew to riotous conduct and mutiny. The in
iuries inflicted upon Captain Cox are of such a
character as to produce death, IN the opinion of
the surgeons, and but little hope is entertained
OF his recovery. The accused has rather vicious
countenance, Is evidently without education,
and gives evidence of having led Il disstpated
life. He was taken to the County Prison, to
await the results Of the case.

| had an offer this morning of lands for
colonization, on the north bank of Panuco
river They commence about thirty miles
west of Tampico and extend up to the table
land. The tract includes several hundred
square leagues. 1t is in what is known here
as the Huasteca country, decidedly one of
the finest regions Of the whole Empire The
owner, a Mexican, is very anxious for our
people to establish themselves upon these
lands, and has requested me to tell him~how
to get them there: "Give the alternate
sections with pre-emption right to the rest
at 81 per acre" "Pll do it" said he, "and
give the lands for roads and villages besides"
He has now gone to reduce the offer to
writing.

months ago, however, the people there gave
