Stoklcy In the chair. The Prident stated that the mectlnf had been ccltert for the purpose of considering a communica tion of the City Controller, asking lor estimates ol the expenses, the amount of revenne, and the amount that may he duo on the 1st of January next, over and above the appropriations of the Depart- ""jrtrTppprlng, after making a few remarks, offered that the following reply be sent : (leoree Oetr., Fn., City Controller Dear Bir; In com tibamoe with jour nolo of rnquont, clatid Ootobnr IS, lSiM, I would Ktate that tlis amount required to carry on the hnnineao of the Commiuion for tho year 1870 will be as "lt'H'lThe Hint annnnl Instalment towards the erect ion of public buildings t;W j,(XHI, as per ordinance approved Decptnl'T HI, 1HM.

Robbing suggested that, ns tho ordinance pro vided for the amount, Mr. Sperlng strike out tils amount of :ion,(i(H) ami Insert one-tenth of ono per cent, of the taxable property In the city 400,m0). Mr. "Walter considered tlmt the first year's ex penses wonld be the least that would bo incurred, and he believed that the smallest limit fixed by tho ordinance ($300,0110) would be sufficient for all pur- eneral Wagner thought as this was a special tax, and that as the unexpended amount at the termina tion of the year would not be merged for any ether purpose, tho maximum amount, one-tenth of oue per cent (?4G0,000), Bhould be usked for. After further discussion, the amendment of Mr. Robbins was agreed to. Mr. Walter said that tho Committee on Plans and Architecture considered that It Is necessary to have a model made, and they agreed to employ a person at an expense not greater than JTM). They found a person who was willing to do tho work for too. They think they have no right to make any such arrangements without authority from the commis sion. Tho plans are being drawn as rapidly as iKHBib!e. The horizontal sections have been decided upon ibt:o Vniira. vni v rAMneil LI U 1 1 V. liy the committee, and the architect Is engaged upon the elevations. Now is the time to Deem toe con. Btruetlon ofa model. Such a representation of the lniilcllnua would convey a far better idea of what It in intruded to construct, than anv drawings could. The Committee therefore ask that a resolution fdionld be passed as follows : u-i.nl, l Thnt !m r!nmmii.t.nn on Plans and Archltec tnre be authorized to bave a model made of tho plane for the new public liuildiuim, provided that the expense snail not exceea tne sum 01 tune. , After smnn oliieclien beln Interposed by Mr. Bll lington, who conceived that the commission should have the Dlnns first completed and agreed upon, Mr. Walter Bald that the committee believed that tho model should be made, so that the commission could form an Idea of what not only tho buildings would be. but also what tne mans were, Mr. Stokley asked whether it would be possible for the plans to be completed prior to the time when Councils would nx the rate of taxation ior into. Mr. Kobblns also inquired whether that was ac tually necessary. Mr. Stoklcy did not think It essentially necessary, but he considered that the model would help the TiasBRire of the appropriation through Common Council. Mr. Walter snggesled that the plans would be ready by the middle of December. The resolution of Mr. Walter was then agreed to. Mr. Uperlng, chairman of the Auditing Committee, presented bills, which wer ordered to be paid. Adjourned.

Penrose Feury Bridge. We have noticed in the columns of tho daily papers that an effort is being made to have the Penrose Ferry linage torn away and a new ono erected a short distance further up the river.

We desire to correct this impression ivy stating that, wun tne exception oi one pier unn u single span, tins bridge is as strong ns any m rue city,-undue a (Mist not exceeding l.'),om) a new pier ccnld be nul HtaiitUlly built and the bridge repaired.

The region around tho coal wharves is usually In total darkness. The gas for the light is to be furnished by a kcw York company, lately formed, who intend to manufacture oxygen by a new process and pump it into reservoirs for the small cost or five cents per cubic foot. Tho great decrease of expense will bring the oxy-hydrogeu light Into much more general use. It cun be era ployed for lighting store windows, for parades, and the like. An agency is about being established iu this city. Attempted Incendiarism. About 11 o'clock last night an attempt was made to lire the row of new dwellings on Sansom street, above Thirty-fourth.

Tivies of this morning. A report became current in Jersey Citv yesterday afternoon that tho entire body of bra'kemen em ploYod on the rrelght trains or the Eastern Division or the Krle Railway struck on Saturday night The cause of the strike is said to have been in conse quence of the dlscharjro or three or the brakemen on Friday, and substituting in their places three men not belonging to that organization. The brake men held a meeting in Port Jervis and de manded the immediate restoration of tho three dis charged men to their situations. . The company de clined to accede to the demand, and the consequence was that on Saturday evening the men held another meeting, when a strike was resolved upon, to take effect at once. As the trains came Into Port Jervis thebrnkemen ei gaged In running them were noti lled of the action taken, and at once left oil' work, In consequence of which nearly the entire amount of freight that was being moved over tho road is now standing u on the tracks at Port Jervis. No freight trains anived at or departed from Jersey City yesterday. Admiral Flsk declares that ho will not submit to dictation, nnd fuithcriuore that he will lilt' the places of the strikers with a set of new men. With this view he, yesterday afternoon nnd evening,, had scouts out in Jersey City, Hudson Citv. Hobokon, nnd New Y'ork, gathering up an armed body guard of looo to lfiiio nu n to proceed with him to Port Jer vis. His intention is to pay oil' the strikers and em ploy these green men to move the rreight trains, and, in case of interlerence, to light their way through. Admiral Flsk's scouts were authorized to offer JB a day and "expenses. Iu Jersey City over 150 men, mostly "lire ladies," were obtained In tho lower part or the city. A large number or recruits were also obtained in New York, and they were generally pretty rough characters. Shortly nf ter 0 o'clock some sixty runners came over In a body from New Y'ork, but when they learned that they would receive only live dollars per day re fused to go. They wanted twenty-live dollars apiece, and thought that was reasonable enough to run the risk of getting their "heads broken." Shortly after 10 o'clock a special train was sent out loaded with men, and others were to follow as fast as the meH could be brought in. The passenger trains will run as usual. TIIE NILE. The Annual Inundation. The yearly inundation or the Nllo has been greater than usual this year. The London even News biivs: "The Nile mud has fertilized the Desert sands and drawn a belt or garden-ground all down the long course or the river, and the Desert air has made the al Unisphere the brightest and most salubrious In the world. But the struggle between Nile nnd Desert, sand and mud, drought and flood, has gone on with varied fortunes. Y ear by year the one anxiety of the Egyptian people, whether under a Pharaoh or a Khedive, has been the rise or the Nile. When It falls short the Desert gains upon them, and famine stares them In the face; when it rises above its normal flood, it sweeps away their villages and drowns the fields It Bhould fertilize. This year has been a year of excess. The river has risen to an un usual height and flooded the cotton-fields. Hitherto an excess of water has been a smaller calamity than a deficiency ; now, the new cotton culture has made an excess probably us much dreaded as a failure. By the last advices, however, we hear that tho waters are subsiding, and that the cotton crop, which has not yet sustained any fatal damage, will probably be saved." The Russian SUoptzl. The C'nloK of St, Petersburg states that the princi pal meeting place of the Skoptzi (sect of the muti lated) has just been discovered at Moscow in the house of four brothers named Koudrin. These men had a photographic studio lusar tho theatre, where the Idols adored by the Skop.l were inanuractured. M. Tlkhomlroil", the Crown prosecutor, has discov ered some or the persons employed in this inuauufao ture, who have confessed that the Skoptzl hold their religious meetings in the house at night, anil that there is a convent attached to the building. An in quiry has since taken place, from which it appears that the brothers Koudrin have been in the habit of kidnapping children bet ween the ages of 8 and 12, aud then forcing them to become members of the sect. The district of Serpoukhov, in which the house is situated, is said to be full or Skopt.i, and forty-eight women belonging to the sect have been arrested. THE NEW YOKK. MONEY JHAUKET. The following extracts show the state of the New York money market on Saturday : From the Herald. The week iu Wall street has been fnH of inci dents, and the various departments of business have shown Interesting phases. Perhaps the most striking feature was the decline in gold to V-'iMi the lowest point touched since March, 180. The downward movement in the precious metal caused considerable alarm among those who have been holders ever since the days or the panic, and was employed by the speculative fraternity for u rather successful raid upon the Government bond market. The do clino was assisted by the curious position In which the culmination of the gold corner left tho street. On tho dav that the price tumbled rrom 105, specula tors who hail capital enough to keep from bank ruptcy found themselves all possessed of gold ut prices ranging from I8.'i upwards. The Inability of the 'bulls' to take gold at the high ligures of tho eventful Friday placed the 'bears' on the other side of the market; for thev had bought gold to deliver which the 'bulls' were unable to buy from them. The lowest point touched on the last day of trie corner was 132V, which is therefore tho starting point or the present decline. A few shrewd opera tors, foreseeing the effect of such a condition of ailttirs, sold for a further decline, und have there fore rallied the market by stages as it went down. Tho short interest at tho present time is not large ; for among merchunts and business men who have conducted transactions on a basis of gold at 130, and above, It lsdltllcult to dissipate the Impression that gold is cheap at the prices of the week, and hence there was a great deal of buying, under which the price reached tol JTj ;, und then fell to VH?,; at tho close. The rates pai l for carrying gold have been the best index of the fact that the outside purchase were very large. "Foreign exchange was steady and firm at iiiq close, on the basis oi 1b?a for prime baukers sixty dav, and 10914 for sight sterling bills, the dlllcrctice of ilve-eightlis per cent. In the two cla-ses beliiff duo to the advance iu the Bauk of linglaud laloul dis count. .
