The following aiticlo has been prepared by a gontleman conversant with city affairs after a care ful investigation at the various city offices, and a thorough examination of tho facts. We think it may be relied on for its accuracy in the main. A writer in the Evening Star ol the 28th ol February last, who signs him.elf "A Tax Payer, has ottempted to furnish a comparative statement oltne expenses uudcr the proposed new charter and the present cue, by which he would have it appear that the expense of the city w.ll nearly, if not qui to. be doubled if the now charter be adopted. Bu Ins statement so manifestly erroneous that a critical examination of bis particulars, will show that the writer, with every incentive to retain the old system in order to keep himself in a lucrative office, has signally failed to accomplish his purpose.

Tho session lias been rather remarkable for dodging business and for trying to do little instead of trying to do much.

There is a prospect that all the im portant measures will lie over to the next cengress. This results from a desire on the part of some to avoid responsibility, on the part of others to embarrass the administration of Gen. Taylor and on tho part of others to give the new administration the credit of settling these questions. The continental Rail Road, tho Panama Rail Road, the Post Office bill, the mint for California, the mint for Now York, are all laid over. The House have passed a bill for a territorial go vcrnment in California, but it cannot pass the senate.

On the other hand the amendment of Mr. Walker authorizing the President to ostablish a government has been rejected by a vote of 1 14 to 100. This vote is not so strong as to preclude the supposition that it may be reversed. We see that a commit tee of coniereuce has been proposed and as General Taylor is known to be iu favor of Mr. Walker's amendment bb the easiest way of getting rid of the question, it is quite possible that enough whigs can be brought over to carry the amendment.

The proposition in the House to add tho Wilmont Pro viso to Mr. Walker's amendment was lost by a ma jority of 7. The senate's bill was loaded down with all sorts of amendments, altering boundary lines, prohibiting the slave trade eoast wise, continuing the laws of Mexico, and the two bodies will be troubled to get tho thing disentangled in a single day. Mr. Dallas left tho chair yesterday, (Friday,) and Senator Achison, of Missouri, was, on motion of Mr.

Benton, made Vice President, pro tempoie. The cabinet of Gen. Taylor as reported before seems to be correct and the different members are on their way to the capital. Abbott Lawrence paacd through New York yesterday. The Mincsota bill has, we believe, passed both houses, so that this new territory is created with the Wiluiot Proviso attached.

The House was in a stale of high excitement yesterday and did not not adjourn till near 12 o'clock. We may expect that the proceedings of to day will be still more exciting and that a great many bills will be rushed through which ought not to pass and a great many kept back which are of the highest importance (joxunmndcr J. It, Sands, V. S. Mil.

Editob This city of ours is generally among the first in the United States to render al the honors due those of her citizens who risked their lives in the service of the government during the recent war with Mexico, and for that reason 1 am the more astonished that no public notice has hitherto been taken of one tho honored representative of au old and distinguished family long and highly appre ciated, not only by the community of the city of Brooklyn but throughout the Island. I allude to the officer whose name heads this communica tion Capt. Sands commanded the steamer Vixen in the Gulf of Mexico, and no vessel attached to the squadrons of either Commodores Conner or Perry renderedj more valuable or important service on all occasions than did that steamer. maua tins is tne decided opi; was on the spot and heard him say when his advice was asked at the critical moment, "Go ahead and right." If his prompt decision had been acted upon they might have run up to the city without being struck by a shot, but a higher aulhriij e.o retreat and there was no appeal. In Commodore Perry's first attack upon Tobasco, the Vixen, Capt.

with the Commodore on board, led the van. In the gun boat attack upon the Castle of San Juau Ulloa, Capt. Sands, with the Hula Vixen, was so close in under the walls of the Castle that tho enemy on the ramparts could not depress their guns sufficiently to bring a shot to bear upon her hull. While running up tho Tuspan river, 10 take the city of that name, the Vixen was the only vessel halted by a shot from the enemy's fortress, and I have her Commander in my mind's eye now, as he Btood, upon the port wheel house, cap iuhand, bowing to the fort as be was about to return the Paixhan compliment. In every engagement while he, Capt.

was on the coast of the enemy, he played the most conspicuous part with his light draught steamer rushing in and out ol every bay and river from Texas down to Yucatan until the Vixen became most emphatically the scourge of tho wholesoa coast of Mexico, and, finally, he surrendered his command only after being prostrated by the eneivating effects of the pestiferous climate, aud returned home with Mexicau trophies iu his charge which he himself had contributed largely in acquiring for the honor of the governmeut which he has ever faithfully served. In the great fire which occurred in this city last summer, who was it that was most active aud energetic jn contributing and superintending the only means in all humau probability of arresting the progress of the devouring element? None other than Capta'u Sands. Now, in view of all the above enumerated circumstances, you may poBsibly think it.singular that his fellow citizens of this city or in the Legislature of the state have not put him on their list likewisa for some favor but I can tell you the reason Capt Sands possesses that quiot, amiable, unobtrusive spirit which looks out upon tho self extolling prin. ciplc as illegitimate; ho is never heard to blow his own trumpet except when tho battle, the gale or the fire rages, and then the generality of the thinking portion ollhe community cannot but join with him iu vowing it as perfectly commendable.

In 1839, he received a commission as a reward of merit, principally on the recommendation of officers with whom he had served.

He supposes the reports against him arise from throe causes: 1st, that ho rose from the ranks 2d, that he was tried by a court martial in Mexico; 3d, that he was censured by a court martial, for testimony given before it on the trial of Lioi t. Rich in the city of Mexico. It is true he was tried by a court niaitial; the principal charge against him was, sending a challenge to a marine officer who had struck him in the face. Of this ho was found guilty, aud sentenced to be cashiered, but on account of long and faithful services, fully testified to lye fore the court," he was recommended to mercy, and his sentenco commuted to suspension.

To John S. Devlin, Brooklyn, N. Y. Extract from Major Dittany's report. Cii the morning of the battle of Contreras, 19th August, 1847, when it was hourly expected the marines would be called into action, Lieutenant Devlin tendered to Lieutenant Colonel Watson a resignation of his staii' appointment, in order lo take command of a company in the field, then cain tnanded by an officer his junior, which was not accepted.

Again, ou the 7th September, a similar resignotiou was tendered, and agaiu refused by Lieutenant Colonel Watson, on the ground of not having any other officer so familiar with staff From this decision he appealed to Gen. Shields, which appeel was made in my presence, and proved unsuccessful. The General sustained the decision on the ground of military usage, but on my representing to him the anxiety of lieutenant for active service, he appointed him a volunteer aid de iu which capacity he served iu the attack on where he was, for a time. separated from the General subsequently he was engaged and wounded iu the attack while advancing on tho enemy's battery.

So sharp and constant was the enemy's fire, that many of our advance took shelter for a few moments udder cover of some dilapidated buildings. Al this time I saw you advancing along the road at a rapid pace, until you passed in front of the entire line, where I saw you waive your sword, encouraging the scattered soldiers whom you fell in with. I soon lost sight of you, aud sapposed you were killed but, after the uctiou, was pleased lo learn that, after passing the head of the line, where I saw you, you went forward and turned the uuglo in the road, which brought you directly in front of the enemy's battery, where you were severely wounded, but not bo as lo force you from the field.

You had a small command of Marines; some of them killed, and some wounded. You and your command were, at tho time I encountered you, in advanco of all other troops of Qailmaii's division operating against tho Castle and it was some minutes before any portion of tho storming party reached the advanced point where I found you wounded.

Walker was displeased with her and was to mako her his last visit ou the next day that on the day of the murder she expressed anxiety not to bo left alone iu the house duriug Walker's visit, No one was in the parlor when tho pistol was fired except Mr and Mrs Walker. Mrs Wells, tho aunt of Mrs Walker, startled at t'je explosion, rush ed to the door, and opening it, saw Mr Walker with the pistol in his hand. He said that the deceased had khot herself, and offered to go for a physician, which be did. Mrs Walker, however, steadily deniotl to the coroner, to her aunt, aud to all others that talked with her, having committed the deed herself. Tho ball passed through her body, obliquely, entering at her shoulder and coming out below the waist.

She lived for thirty hours after she received the wound, but declined to criminate Mr Walker. To her minister, however, Rev. Samuel L. fc'outhand, of the Calvry Church, she made a pretty free confession of tho circumstances, which are narrated iu his testimony as follows. His visit was made at 10 o'clock in the morcing after tho murder.

I went to tho bedside, and when her abne, I asked her if she herself committed the act: she said no 1 atked her if sho was in any way a party to it she said that sho was not. She then stated to me, as well as she could, between Ino 6pasuis ol pain, that they had met that day, sho with her feelings einbilteied by his slanders, aud he jealous ol her: that he had a pistol, and that he always went armed, and during their angry discussion, she with the pistol iu her hand, put it to her breast, aud said, to be shot with this pistol would be less than to be slandered as you slandered me." She then reproached hetsclf for seeing him while her feelings wero embittered, and said that the ought not to have seen him. She was ieu overwhelmed with paiu for about half a minute, aud on breathing again said Did you sou that 7 (meaning her agony,) that was less than I have suffered for the last three years. That shortly afterwards she gave him the pistol, and told him to take it and uo away, aud leave her alone. She also said that she ought not to havo given it to him after what had passed that it seemei like tempting her fate.

I then endeavored to take the pistol from him. aud there was a kind of skufiie. I was afraid he would shoot me. I did not get the pistol, but stepped back two or three Bteps, when 1 felt the ball. 1 screamed, bounded into tfjc air and as I fell or came down he caught me and said, After that I remember no more pf what occurred, but I will not say that he did it with the iuient to kill me.

1 would not hang him for the world perhaps ho did not mean it, perhaps it was an accident. I asked her if he was ot a jealous disposition the carriage window. I then asked her if she hud ever given him any cause for jealousy. She answered that she could say before God, that sb was pure from infidelity to him. and that if religion and principle would not havo restrained WJUt'hen asked her to say if she was in charity with all the world.

She said that she was not unforgiving, and even forgave him all he done. I asked her again if she iuduced him to shoot or dared him to shoot her. She said no, that she had been too wicked to die, that she wanted to live a godly life, andremarked, how much I havo lo do if God should spare me, to retrace my Bteps. She also said, he is an Atheist, and did not believe in tho restrainls ol Rcligiun or the principles of Virtue; he does not believe there is a virtuous woman in the city. Her mind was rational, at the same lime she was suffering excruciating pain and mental anxiety to the last.

She used do harsh expressions. Sho seemed con cious of her condition. She forgave Mr. Walker, and said she thought he wanted to get rid of her, but had not the courage. The case was thsn submitted lo the Jury, which, after a brief consultation, rendered a verdict thai the deceased came to her death by a ball shot from a pistol, by her husband Thomas A.

Walker. Whereupon, the coroner committed him to.prison for examination. Sands Street Methodist Church. The re opening of this chnrch last evening, a very full house. The seats were all filled below aud above at an early hour, notwithstanding tho air was freighted with snow flakes, the walking bad and tho evening anything else than inviting.

The opening prayer was made by the Rev. Daniel Curry, of the Washington street church, Dr. Bangs gave a brief but interesting history of the origin and advance ment of melliodism iu this city aud of the origin of the practice ol dedicating churches. Rev. John Merwin read au appropriate portion of sciipturo.and Dr.

Olin preached a sound, logical, well reasoned discourse. His voice is husky and dead, and his style not at all impassioned or moving, but ho is strong, intellectual, earnest his language accurate aud woll chosen, and he has much force aud power. Uis discourse was long, but held the audience to the last. The singing was capital. The pieces were well cliOEcn and admirably executed.

Indeed, this part of the exercises could hardly have been surpassed. The churcli is exceedingly neat, and comfortable in every part a model fur theirnitation of others. It is regretted, however, that the fresco painting should have been so badly botched. The painting is bad enough, but ihe perspective is worse If such a thing is worth doiug at all it is worth do ing well. Mrs.

The same power now exists, with the additional right of the. mayor to make as many marshals a3he pleases.

But there is this difference in the two systems. Under the old charter, as the marshals received their pay jy fees, in proportion to tho amount of service dor.e by them, it was a matter of 110 consequence how many were appointed, except that the greater the number, the greater the inducement to create business to obtain fees. Under the uew system, as the police officers are to be salaried, and not appointed by the city council, no more will be named then will be necessary to perform the services, and the officers will have no inducement to create police business for the fees. Iu conclusion, we would say to a lax that he who lives in a glass bouse, should be careful how ho throws Lieut. Devlin.

We occupy about two columns of our paper to day, with the statement o. Lieut.Devulin, whichB he is a citizen of Brooklyn we have deemed it proper to publish.
