The Board meek this evening according to adjournment. A speoial meeting" was called for last night, but there was not a quorum present. Passing Spuriobs Coin. Mary Clay and Mary Maillie were.aireBted last evening in making an attempt to pass a spurious quarter at the store cf Mr. Lahanki, a fruiterer, in Grand street, and two dther coins of the same description was found upon them.

They were imitations of the new silver quarter, and were calculated to deceive at firBt, but on examination ia apparent they are very indifferently cast. The prisoners, who hail from New York, were remanded, Receiving Stolen GooDS.Mary Ryan and Catherine Ferguson were this morning brought up on the charge of receiving stolen goods to answer which they gave some days ago. Mary Minnus the youngwoman who has been traversing the city, purloining wearing apparel, from making money instead of losing It. The President of the company admitted that the number of passengers carried per" day since the opening ot the roads waBirom 21,000 to 26,000, and the one cent addition in. the fare, asked for would make a difference in their i.ivor in five years of upwards ot $374,000.

The gentleman continued a lengthy argument againBt the adoption of the report of tbe committee, contending that tbe receipts ot the company in the course of ten years, at tbe present rates, taking into consideration the increase ol population would amount to an exceedingly large num. He was opposed to monopolies where they conflicted wiih the interests of the working people. The additional tax would fall upon them and they would be the sufferers. Aid. Merrill with a few remarks moved that the further consideration ff this subject be postponed until tbe second Monday of January 1855.

Aid. Day ion said the gentleman from the 31 bad made his speech and IJdrawn h's cap. His connection with railroad matters were known especially in regard to tbe Front street track. He referred to the alderman of the 4th la dragging in a statement made to the committee. Be, also bad a statement from Mr.

Charles C. Betts, aud if that was true the Railroad company wasa losing concern. The company he said had taken the posiiion of running cars over three routes for 4 cents they had five other routes on whioh they had the right to chorge 6 cents. They come forward and ask to charge 5 cents on the other threo routeB. The committee reported against this, seeing that thev were entitled to an equivalent from the I Reported for the Brooklyn DUy Eajrle.

Hinman moved to suspend the regnlar order of "business to take np the report of the Law Com. on the bill ot Robert Hunter for constructing "ornaments" at the rear of the City Hail. The bill amounts to $1,570, being for tbe oarpenter's woik, the total price being $1,820. The motion being carried. Aid.

Hinman made urgent appeal to the Board for the adoption the report of the com. being favorable to the payment of the bill. Aid. Fowler opposed the bill on the ground of Its exorbitance. The Report was finally adopted.

The Brooklyn City Railroad Co. The chairman ot the speoial com. on railroads preseaented the following report relating thereto, and moved its adoption The Speoial Committee, to whom was referred the annexed communication of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, asking to be permitted to charge five oents fare on their respective routes, report that they have had the subject under consideration, and have been attended by tbe President and some of the Direotors of said Company that it appears by the records of this Common Council that the present rates of fare were fixed ia accordance with the several bids made by the parties composing that company, therefore, the rates are too low, it is no fault of the Common Council. That the said Company claim and exercise the right to charge all persons without distinction to age the full ratio of lire on their several routes, against the custom of other lines established for public conveyance, and greatly to the inoonveaience. of families who desire to patron ise the roads.

Complaints are also made that, at certaia hours ot the day, the saw oompany do not furnish sufficient cars lor the accommodation of the pub io. Your committee are of the opinion that, children under ten years of age, and a'', children ivho are attending the schools in our city, ought not to be chargtd, or pay more than three csnts lor each ride and infants under the age of two years, should be cnargea notning. The said Company have eight routes, on five of which the rates of fare is five cents on the other three it i tour cents but your committee are of the opinion that the prayer the petitioners should be denied, unless said company consent to reduce the fare for children uader ten years of age, and for all children at tending school to three cents, on all of thesi routes allow such children aa are uuder two years of age to go free of charge, and also to run additional trips when the public convenience requires it in the afternoon. They therefore recommend for adoption the following resolution Resolved, That the terms and conditions upon which the assent of this corporation was given to the Brooklyn City Railroad Company to construct and operate their railroads upon the streets and ava. of this city, ba so modified that the said company may for five years next hereafter charge five cents oa each of their respective routes, provided, and this assent is upon the express conditions, that children going to and from school, and all others under ten years of age, except infants under two years ot age, who shall eo free, shall pay 3 cents only, for any distance ridden on any of the said roads .1 1 l.

ihv City of Brooklyn The City Railroad Company res pectfully memorialize your Honorable Body to permit them to cliarge uve ceais iara ou ineii respective routes. They are compeiiea in jus tice to their stocunoiuers, to mane mis applica tion, and therefore talrly state the condition ot their affairs, and effer thefullest examination and eorntiny of them oy your Honorable Body, or such committee inereoi as may ae uemguaieu for the purpose. is well known that 5 cur memorialists emb ace both the bidders at 5 cents and 4 cents under the proposal of the Commou Council inviiing bids for the construction ol the roads, and therefore no injustice can be done to any bidders if the prayer of your memorialists be granted. The question, therefore, is of munioipal policy only, wnieb your memorialists forbear discu sing in this application, but it is that they should Btate the grounds upon which th appli cation iB made. With very few exceptions the stockholders are resident.

of Brooklyn, and more than 9 lOtbs of the stuck in amount is owntd by Brootlyn men. The railroads have been built in the most economical manner, and no member of the compaoy or othtr person unconneotei wiih it has received or is to receive any advantage or profit, directly or indirectly, except as he has paid full value lor his stock, or received such compensation only lor any service, as he would have been entitled to receive for the same service from strangers. In other words, no largesses have been paid to any one, and no contracts have been givtD through favoritism, or to any one, except to tha lowest bidder. The amount expended for con struction and equipment of four roads is about 865 000, every dollar oi wnicn is represented fully aud honeHily In the property of ths company. Your memorialists refer to this to show thai in asking for raising the 'arc to five cints they are not seeking to reimburse themselves for improvident txpenaitures.

Their roads have now been ia operation five months, and the receipts on which, allowing a just amount for depreciation of taeir have been considerably less than their current expenses, thus affording no interest whatever to their stockholders. They therefore respectfully submit to your honorable body that alter performing, aa they believe, an unparalleled service to tbe city aud furnishing it an accommodation which must be of essential aid to its prosperity, they are uot asking an unreasonable aBsiutancs from your honorable body, to put tbem en the same footing as the railroads ia the neighboring city of New York, where tho travel is besiaes nearly double what it is on thoir roads. In giving them the means ot obtaining an interest on their capital, there will be a motive to put the railroad in the best possible condition cccoco. modate the public and extend its usefulness, All of is respectfully submitted. HCJTED.

Dated, Dec. 7th, 1854. Aid. Fowler asked how this axe would grind upon the public Aid. Dayton Baid the axe boro upon the inhabitants in about the same proportion tbe eetat lisbmeatot tbe railroads did, being decidedly advantageous to the people.

Aid. Fowler said he was illy prepared to examine this question, It was a matter which was ot tbe greatest magnitude, and should command our strictest attention. The committee, he said, met, and a communication irom tbe company was submitted, in which it was stated that tbe depreciation of property in working the road was $95,000 a year, or nearly $300 per day; that their expenditures had been $103,000 up to the 1st December their receipts were $1,000 per day expenditures, on cars alone, $800 per day at first, and now $750. The Alderman proceeded fe dissect the statement of the company and calculated lrom faots and figures before bim that the surplus ot reoeipts over expenditures thus far had been $40 000: that they had now on hand $116,760 as a sinking fund, aud that instead of the usual interest of 10 per cent on tne capital invested, they paid a dividend of nearly 16 per oent.

When any uncomfortable change in the atmosphere takes plaoe, Zro is sure to be at the bottom of it.

Yet Zero is an Italian word.which with all its sound and fury," signifies exaotly It means a cypher, or 0. It is the point from which the degrees of the weatherglass are Counted up or down. In Reaumur's and the centigrade thermometer (or thermometer a hundred degrees) Zero Is the freezing point while Fahrenheit placed it at 32 degrees below freezing point, at about ihe temperature of mixture of salt and snow, or the greatest degree of cold that oan be produced by artificial means. As Fahrenheit's is the thermometer used ia this looality, it follows taat when we hear ot the thermometer descending to around is colder than snow and we might well be imbedded in an Alpine glacier, or a barrel of ice cream, as to stand exposed to the atmosphere.

Book Notices. We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Scott, Co. of the leading magazines of Great Britain.

At the presen crisis of affairs in Europe, the elaborate expos tions of events and Iheir oauses whioh these periodicals contain will command the attention of American readers. The Edinburgh Review the exponent of the whig pirty in Great Britain contributed to by Jeffrey, Brougham, and Ma3 caclay, and the London Quarterly, which wa established to oppose it, aad whose pages sparkled in timed past with the contributions of SOUTHET, SOOTT, LOCKHART, WORDSWORTH and others, are works which no one who wishes to understand the social and political movement8 of Great Britain can do without. The West mins ter Review, the opponent of exclusive priveleges, hereditary rights, and kingly prerogatives, created an intense Bensation a few years since dy its developements of the condition Of the mining population of England.

Some of its articles, suoh as the Noctes Ambrosiac' have been republished, and have assumed the highest rank among the permanent literature of ths age.

Geobob Alices has just been tried at Buffalo, for marrying a married woman. He was convicted and fined S160, which is decidedly cheap if he was guilty, and rather dear if iDnocent of the charge against him.

The Commercial says there were many extenuating circumstances in the case. It appeared from the evidence that a marriage engagement had previously existed between the defendant and the woman he was mulcted for marrying and that at the time of her first marriage, which was only two days previous to her second, both parties had made arrangementB for consummating their esgage ment, which had not been broken on the part of the defendant. Theie was evidence given tending to show that the woman had entered Into the first marriage contrary to her wishes aud that the delendant had no knowledge of its existence at the time of his marriage. The jury found the defendant guilty, but recommended him to the favor of the Court. We lea from Galigani's Messenger, (pub lished in Paris, France,) that in consequence of the success dbtaiaed by Madamo Isabel in breaking horses tcr the army, the minister of war lately authorised her to proceed officially belore a commission composed of general and superior officers of cavalry, with Gen.

Regnault de Saint Jean at their head, to a practical demonstration of her method on a certain number of young calvary horses. After twenty days training the horses were so perfectly broken in that the minister no longer heaifcuted to enter into an arrangement with Madame Isabelle to introduce her Bjstem into the imperial schools of cavalry, beginning with that of Saumur. The advantages of this system appear to be these To train the horses without fatiguing tbem to diminish greatly the number of restivo horses to lessen the number of accidents to train any number of horses at the same time, and to lesson considerably the ezpenso.

The public have a right to expect the beBt possible Accommodation, and at the lowest remunerating rate of fare but if it be the fact that the estab IK 1 taretailB to da more than cover expenses, an addition ought to be allowed. If the com pjuy could show that they were losing money they could not be expected to keep up the same number of care or manifest the same desire to meet the necessities of the public. The discus oa the abject waa carried on between Aldermen Datto.n and Fowler mainly whioh will be found sketched in another column By the new arrangement the Company iB to ran extra cars ic the afternoon but the number of cars which they are to run is not stated. This is somewhat of an omission, as It leaves all.extra accommodation to the diecre'ion of the company.

They win, however, no doubt, do all that is re qiiBite in this respect and it a sufibient nam hjr clears are jraced oa the roads ia the afford seats all passengers, the change ra the present stand up, pillory, perpendicular arrangement, will be a compensation tor the additional cent. The increase of fare was granted to eult the I present emergencies of the Company and aa soon as a change of circumstances woald show their proSts to justiiy a reduction, the public should have the benefit of the diminution. Ia this respect it would have been well if the Common Council had coupled with the adoption of the report a condition requiring the Company to present, at regular periods, certified statements of their receipts and expenditures, in order to ascertain at what time the former will exceed the latter sufficiently to remunerate the stockholders. The arrangement is to continue for five yesrs, befor the expiration of which the soaie will nave turned in favor of the Company. 'The five cant fare, however, is as low as that of any other city in jJia oountry where a similar mole of conveyance exists and the addition ol 3 cent on the three rentes mentioned places the inhabitants of each section of the city on the Ejme looting.

In Cincinnati, last evening, the case of Arri soa, for the murder of Allison, was given to the jarv, aad after being out only three hours they rendered a verdict of murder in the Bret degree. The testimony bore hard upon the accused. The man who made the fatal torpedo box identified Arrisea as the one who employed him, azi the one presented aa the one made. Another witness identified Arrison aa tiie man who, after the box was made, called to have it altered. The witness picked out the very pince of the box in Court which Arrison himself tried to fix, but not succeeding, said, IS a the thing; I wish you would fix it and in answer to the question at the time, by the witness, as to what the box was for, Arrisen replied, 'Ask no questions, and I'll tell you no lies." An expert chlrogra'pher pronounced documents known to have been written by Arrisou, and the letter received at the Cincinnati post office, from Iowa, which led to detection, as the writing ot the same nD.

It would be decidedly favorable to the people who would be the gainers by the change in ths ratio of C4 to 74 or 10 per cent by reducing the price for children and scholars. He thought it a good trade.

He passed a merited tribute to the Railroad oompany for their promptness in building the rosid and their en ueavore to accommodate our transitory population. The discussion was continued at considerable length by Aldermen Fowler and Dayton. Aid. Wilson contended that if tour cents did not sustatn the Railroad Company, why the people would be willing have it increased. lie did not believe in grinding jtown the wages of the poor workmen in order toTnable the Co, to keep in operation.

Aid. Merrill spoke in opposition to the report, aid Aid. White becoming tired of the di60ussion, called the gentleman to order under tne live minute rule, and Mr. Merrill yielded, and sat down. Aid.

Hinman proceeded to speak oa the Bams side of the question. Ha argued that every kind of business was depres. ed, and the Railroad Co. suffered no more than any other co'poration, and was therefore, entitled, to.no consideration on this score. The vote on Aid.

Merrill's motion being taken was lost by a vote of 7 ayes to 14 nays. Aid. Holt propos an amendment to t'n ffect that when the earnings on any or either ol the lines proved fairly remunerative to the stockholders, the Common Council being the judges may reduce the fare not lees than two cents below the lare now allowed. Aid. iyton seconded the motion, and in so doing moved the previous question.

Aid. Holt thought the coursa of the gentleman of the Eleventh unfair, and made some unfavorable allusions. Aid Dayton rose to a question of privilege. The Chair decided him out of order. An appeal being taken, the Chair was sus tained The vote being then taken, the previous question was carried by 13 ayes to 10 nays.

Aid. Holt's amendment being put, was lost by a vote of 7 ayes to 14 cays. The question being open, the adoption of report resulted as follows Ayes Brainard, Morrell, Barnard, Booth, White, Qievedo, Remsen, Wilson, Mulligan, Jackson, Graham, Dayton, Wyckoff, Campball. 14. Nays Holt, Green.

Merrill, Fowler, Oliver, Hiuman, Siinonton 1. The Board then adjourned to this (Thursday) evening at seven o'clock, Wlio is to be ihe New Governor (Correspondence of the Evening Post.) Albant, Deo, 19, 1854. The long drawn canvass of votes at the State election has only been closed by the State officers to be re opened by the newspapers. The Atlas to day questions the accuracy of the re intimates that steps may be taken to itst the validity of Governor Clark's teuure ol office under tbe certificate of tbe State caovas ers. The majority decreed to Governor Claik upon the canvuBS is 309.

From this allowance the questioners ot the canvass insist that should be deducted all the scattering votes intended lor Srjmour, aud certain otes illegally awarded to Clark. The scattering votes, spellfd, but the intentof which is obvious, a.e 'livid between Clark and Sevmour thus Eor Clark 147 tor Ctymour sia Majoiltyfor Seymour ...165 Omy 11 ot ilicou ucittenu)' votes are ailuwed to Gov. Sevmour. In addition to this, it claimed that 80 votes in Madison county were illegally cast by students in Hamilton College errors ol addition, aud suppression in Broome aud Sceuben counties, when correoted, restore 25 votes to Seymour; and the majority of 215 votes for Clark in Schuyler county is unfairly allowed, the county and all its works being dtemed and decided a nullity. The vote of the towD of Burns, Allegany oounty, of 78 votes to Miram H.

Clark, was corrected by the county canvassers, so as to read for Myron H. Clark This was clearly unfair, if the votes for Seymour misspelled, were to be rejected. The resume of all this seems to be that Claik's 309 majority is subject to the tollowiug deductions The majority In Schuyler county (declared null by the court) 215 The college vote in Madison county t)0 The Alletfmy votes for iliram H. Olark 7S The difference in scattering votes 154 i'h; errors in Steuben and 13roome 25 652 Clark's certified majority 309 Balance in favor of Seymour 243 ii is bdiievcd that eitber an equitable statement of a legal account of the votes will equally, r.etult in' a inujurif for Gov. Seymour.

The affidavits, forwarded to the Central Com mittee here, tntDcace a multitude of oases besides those enumerated. Oae affidavit charges a misstatement ola hundred and seventynine votes in favor of Clerk iu Alleghany and in a multitude ot counties their are errors of addition aud suppression, which, when corrected, will enure to the beuefit of Gov. Seymour. Whether the case wilt ever come to the oourts is difficult to 6ay. It is certain, however, as any legal question cau be, that tbe counflj of Sohuy ler is a hollow fiction and nulity, a counterfeit of a county a Sohuylerizing affair.

The case hasreally.been deoided by the County Court of St ruben, as early as July last. It is believed that the Supreme Court of the Seventh district have affirmed this decision, though the announcement haa not reached here. The matter is a curious one, and wise men in this quarter think it could not have been decided mop: auspiciously for the democratic party than thus to show that it has the majority of the popular vote, while its legitimate antagonist has all the responsibility of power. Judob Johnson. The letter of Judge Johnson, leaving the Bench of the City Court vacant, is creditable to bis known manliness of ohiracter.

It i to bo hoped that the same superior sei se of public obligations.to any merely personal interests, will lead ally other parties, memberB of tbe Bar or otherwise, to leave the organization of a new and proper Court entirely unembarrassed.
