JOHNA. VOORHIES, A PjsST ANTON, Committee. EUSEfBKJS HOPKINS, September 9, 1845. A motion was thert made and seconded that the report of the committee, as now read, be accepted and that in the adoption thereof, tho question be taken separately on each town and which, said motion, on being put, was. carried in the affirmative.

Questions were then separately taken on.all the respective wards of the City of Brooklyn, on'the' respective; dislrics of the town of Wiiliamsburgli, and on the town of Bush wick, whether tho Board of Supervisors would agree with the Committee in their report, and were severally carried in the affirmative. A motion was then made and seconded to agree with the report of the Committee in adding eight per cent to tho valuation of, real estate in the town of Flatbush. The question being taken thereon, was decided in the affirmative.

immediately called; and the door burst open; when she was found upon the bed in the last agonies of life. A phial of laudanum, nearly emptied, was found under the bed clothes. Dr. Brown was also called in and every means were fruitlessly resorted to for the purpose of saving her life. Mrs.

Hurlbut deposed that she had engaged the deceased at an intelligence office in Grand street; that she had, at her desire, permitted tho visits of a young man, who came on the next Sabbath after her engagement, and staid.but a short time. The only relation the young woman stated she had in this country, was a cousin living in New York. She occasionally appeared very much depressed in spirits, but would never say what was tho matter with her. On Tuesday last; However, Mrs. II.

insisted upon knowing the cause of her grief, when she answered that it was a week since that young man had been to see her." And upon being pressed said that he was her husband, to whom she had been married but a short time. The last time he had sailed upen her they had had some words that she had given him all the money in her possession $11 or $12 and that she had hastily told him that she did not want him to oome again until she sent for him. She stated that she feared he had deserted her. Thedeponent said that Ann had gone out subsequently to these developmenlsin search of her alleged husband Yesterday afternoon the deceased went out and returned about 5 o'clock, stating that she had been to almost every place where he was likely to be, but had not succeeded in finding him. She added, I am sick, and don't know what to and then retired to her room.

In the evening Mrs. H. went to her, and found the door locked but called to her to come down and take her tea, which she refused. The deceased had stated to deponent that her husband was a. silver plater, or silver smith, and worked for Mr.

Bailey in this city that he was under age when he got married that his father was a collector, living in North Moore street, New York and that they got married secretly, for fear it would make difficulty in regard to some property which he would receive when of age. Dr. Brown testified that ho had no doubt that her death was produced by laudanum and that he was under the impression that she was pregnant. The jury returned a verdict that sl.e came to her death by taking laudanum." Target Excursions. The Water Witch Volunteers," or Fire Company No.

Spirited addresses were made by several gentlemen, and the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman for a meeting at some future time. Although the committee, perse, can effect nothing, yet their object is to arouse a proper feeling in tho community relative to the glaring wants of the city, and devise ways and means for their accomplishment.

If their txartions are aided by tho co operation of those among the property holders who are so greatly interested in these matters, something will be brought about in time.

Imtortant Discovery. Four hours from Troy to New York," was the heading of a parairaph we published last June from the New York Mechanic, in which the model of a steamboat invented in this citv is described, and the hope expressed that the in ventor would realize his anticipations but it seems that model was got up merely to obtain the opinion of practical men, as to the principle; that point ac complished, the inventor applied himselt to the construction of a wheel, which he terms the spiral cut wheel." This invention has many advantages over the paddle wheel, and among the most important are the great saving in the expense of machinery, its adap tation to speed with increased power, and the small portion of the boat occupied by the engine, and boilers.

The inventor estimates that the engine and boilers will not cost over one third the price paid for those used by the paddle wheel but admitting they cost one half, that alone would be a heavy item saved in the building of a boat. The power requisite lo put a thirty foot paddlo wheel in motion in the open air, would be sufficient to propel a boat with Gould's patent wheel at the rate of 12 or 14 knots per hour. it having no atmospheric resistance andjif his wheel is exposed, the current of air created by tho motion of tho boat will assist in propelling it, as the wheel is built on the best principle of those used in windmills. There is none of that spatting" on entering the water or dead weight in leaving it that is now experienced in tho paddle wheel, the flanges of Gould's patent entering and leaving tho water perpendicularly, each one having a solid body of water to cut tlnough With the peddle wheel a boat cannot bo propelled through the water at a much faster rate than at the present, as tho force, in that case, with which it would 6trike would lender that body solid. This difficulty in entirely overcome in Gould's patent; the flange being made of sheet iron the water offers but little resistance to its thin edge.

Tho recent rxperi. mcnt with the common paddle wheel and Gould's patent goes fully to establish Dr. Lardner's calc'ula rion in relation to the large amount ol power necessary to increase the speed of a boat by the present mode of propulsion, and shows the great advantage gained by the patent, which will bo.seen by the following results of experiments tried before a few scientific and practical men. Tho power which moved the paddle wheel at the rate of 200 feet in 55 seconds, when trebled, only, moved it, at the rale of 300 feet in 43 seconds the, same power in the same boat, applied to Gould's patent, propelled it at the rale of 200 feet in 45 seconds nnd when trebled at the rate of 200 feet in 28 si; conds, showing a gain over the paddle in two experiments tried, the first with the same weight, 22 1 2 dMinl iryland ElSc'tion. lid this SUtwith a rushj WehaVo the ition Advertisei aseb Last yeltitho whde del to Congress was Whig now.

A neighbor of ours talks about the efforts of tho loeofoco press to shufflo off the odium which has been brought upon the self styled Democratic party" by the publication of Mackenzie's pamphlet Why, the pumpkin Did he ever hear before of a good cause being disgraced by the errors or, if you please, tho faults of two or three of its pretended advocates? Does he imagine that the defections which take place occasionally in the ranks of the priesthood bring odium" upon the christian religion, or upon those who believe in and maintain it? He might as well," certainly.

Apart from the notes of John Van Buren, written when ho was quite young, there is very little in the pamphlet of which any body need be ashamed, or which will tend to disgrace even the writers of them let alone the party to which they belong. The principal target, of the author is Mr. Butler; but considering his youth, and the fact that had an abominable and rotten concern to manage, wc think he gets out of the business very well. As respects Mr. Van Buren the elder, whom the bonk was evidently intended to pain, the Mirror, (neutral) says Among his opponents he has long borne the charter of prince of intriguing politicians but they will have to look elsewhere for proof than to these professedly confidential communications.

They could hardly have been freer from reproach, if they had been intended for the public eye. Those Jio can think no good of the Ex Prcsidcnt, must allow that as to the letters, nothing worse con be said than that he has followed the maxim of Cardinal De Relz, Always to live with friends as if they might one day become enemies." The attempt to run a parallel between this case and the publication of tho Glcnlworth papers, is a dead failure. The latter were never seen by the public until they had formed a part of the records of the court whereas Mackenzie and his coadjutors stale their materials, arid will soon be araigned for the felony.

The Anti Rent Trials. Since the conviction of Van Steenburg, the court seems disposed to treat the other prisoners with as much lenity as circumstances will permit, which is jucicious and proper.

Others, indicted for murder, havo plead guilty to manslaughter in the fourth degree, which pleas have generally been accepted.

That this increase in the first seven wards of Brooklyn amounts lo nearly one million and a half of dollars. While lhero has been a general increase in the assessed vulue of properly in most of the towns and wards in the county, Committee have been unable lo find a satisfactory reason for the decrease in the special cases above referred to hut on a careful examination of the assessment rolls where those deficiencies appear, they have deemed the valuations too low as cumpared with other towns and wards in the county. They would therefore recommend that four per cent, be added to tho assessment of real estate in the Eighth Ward of Brooklyn, eight per cent, to that of Flatbush, and four per cent, to that of Gravcscnd. Your Committee would further stato in their ex. amination of tho Assessment Rolls, they are led to believe that many irregularities exist in the assessed value of property, even in.

the same towns and wards that while some parcels are too high others are too low in proportion to their real and intrinsic value; and they would deprecate' the practice of some assessors in assessing land at one and the same price without regard' to locationt quality, or the value of the improvements made upon thoin Your Committee dcom if also important that each town, ward, and district should possess a correct and wellauthenticated assessment map; for there is lilllo doubt that some pieces of property cseapo, taxation altogether, for the want of correct knowledge respecting them.

The latter, finding his army so much crippled, for the number of wounded is enormous, was destroying the fortifications to retire to Triffis, to reorganize his force.

The accident which occurred the day previous was in consequence of a switch being turned wrong or rather, of its not having been turned right after passing the freight cars to their station.
