attached for debt, but should the law be
changed in this respect the bank which to-day
purchased these valuable patents for mere
nominal sum will be a large gamer by the

Questions Affecting Commerce.

AT a meeting of the pilot commissioners yes.
terday letter was read from J. E. Hilgard
superintendent of the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey, which stated that a re-survey
of the lower bay of New York was made last
summer, the chart of which will soon be pub
lished. The letter was called out by the dis
cussion over the grounding of the steamship
Labrador on June 18th. The French consul
reported that she had grounded on a new shoal
near the bay, and he asked for re-survey, but
the testimony of the pilot and the examination
made by Mr.. Hilgard showed that the Labra-
dor had gone on the bar.
The commissioners held consultation with
the executive committee of the pilots with
reference to the demand of the committee of
the Chamber of Commerce for reduction OF
the rates of pilotage. The question of what
reply to make was discussed at length, but the
committee declined to give an answer in set
terms until they could consult with the pilots.
The Chamber of Commerce committee desire
to reduce the rates about 33 per cent, or to the
charges which prevailed prior to 1866. The
question has been agitated nearly every year,
but thus far the pilots and shippers have failed
to come to an agreement.
