The Democratic Republican Electors of the city of Brooklyn are requested to meet at the Brooklyn Garden, on TUESDAY evening, March 31 st, 1S4G, at i o'clock, for tho purpose of hearing the report of the convention to nominate Mayor and Supervisors Several eminent speakers are expected to be present.

Geo. S. Conovcr, Secretary. m24 CITV COXVEXriOS, At a meeting of the delegates to the Democratic Republican City Convention held at lho 4th Ward Hotel on the 30th for the purpose of filling the vacancies occasioned by the resignation of S. E.

Johnson and Joshua Rogers as candidates for supervisors, the following persons were unanimously appointed to fill such vacancies JOSEPH SPRAGUE, SAMUEL SMITH. tlio erection of a City Hall in said City, but said Bonds shall not be issued and disposed of until a contract is entered into to build said City Hall." Your Committee have quoted the whole of this section to enable the public to juilge of the propriety or impropriety of certain statements which have been made in tho Board, and in one of tho daily papers, as to the action of your Committee in the disposition of the avails of a portion of these Bonds. No part of the Bonds were issued before full and complete contracts were executed by the respective parties for the erection of a City Ha'l. The Spcoial committee appointed by the Board to mako contracts for the City Hall were empowered by the Common Council to settle or procure the cancellation of the then existing contract between Messrs. Masterton Smith and the City, for the erection of a City Hall, (on which said Masterton and Smith claimed as profits or damages the sum of about 73,000, in consequence as they averred, of a non compliance with its terms by the Common Council,) by entering into a new contract with them for the marble necessary to erect the Hall up on tho plan last fixed upon by the Board, or otherwise" as they (the committee) might deem most beneficial to the city.

Aa the Board had determined not to go on with the plan as commenced under the contract existing, the Special committee did conclude an agreement with Messrs. Masterton and Smith to give them a certain sum for the supply of the balanco of the marble necessary for the new construction, and the cancellation or the existing contract for the 0:10 as heretofore commenced. On advisement with the Counsel of the Board, and George Wood, it was thought best to make the new contract for the specific amount of the cost of the marble and work hereafter to be furnished, and to pay them (Masterton and Smith) the sum of 6, 591 to cancel the old contract, and as for marble not paid for under the old contract. The new contract instead of being for as agreed upon, was and the balance as above was paid them on account, and in full of the old contract. The Committee of the Legislature who reported we oilier from those views ol proper compromise (by territorial partition) tu which the meaning of that paper is directed.

The next steamer's news will bo probably decisive of what may be expected, in the way of offer from England. It must cither bringsnmc proposal, else that continued silence which will then carry with it the construction that no further proposal is to be expected. This mode of pacific settlement will then remain open to us al least to offer, and to offer in the proper manner. If it should be rejected by a minister here or a minister at home, such rejection of such an overture would never be sustained by the English People nor could that country be then dragged by its Government into a violent and aggressive war against us for the possession of the to them worthless wastes and waters of northern Oregon. Little public attention seems to have directed itself toward this yet untrodden path of negotiation, this yet untried plan of settlement but the more it is considered, the more clcariy will it lead to the conclu.

I The avails have been paid upon contracts entered jnto and existing for the erection of a City Hall, in accordance with the letter and spirit of the act, and your Committee insist thai no other legitimate means of payment existed, and that the charges made of the violation o( the law, are not founded in truth or equity. The payment was mado on acrount of and for the eancelinent of a contract existing for the marble and work necessary for the erection of a City Hall, which old contract, if carried out, would have involved the city in an amount of debt cf over 500,000 in addition to the present debt, while those now entered into call for less than $150,000.

The evidence, though circumstantial, is indeed quite connected and eon. elusive. The defence of somnambulism is a mere flam. It was too weak even for the jury to give it any consideration at all. That Maria Bickford died by her own hands is, to our mind, a most unreasonable supposition.

Drivers who act in such a heedlecs or cruel manner deserve (o be rebuked severely. Ten minutes after, crossing the Fulton ferry, we observed that the wagons and carriages, as the boat landed, were detained fifteen minutes, because the load of the foremost one, (of flour or grain, in bags,) was so large that the horses could not drag it up the floating wharf at which ihe boats land. The driver lashed them most heartily and the neighboring cart men assisted but it was only by putting on a large extra force that the difficulty was surmounted and the wagon drawn up.
