The Hoard of Aldermen held a special meeting yesterdsy for the parpose of reqnesttng the Iegislature not to approve of any mpaaure that would interfere with tho provision of tfia ordinance in relation to eartmen recently pat-ed by the Common CoanciL Cpon the adoptioniof the ordinance a committee of Brooklyn Aldermen and cart-men went to Albany and seeused the passage of a bill la the Senate relieving that city froip th affect of tb measure.

After the eallj for the meeting had been read, Aldenban Sauer took the chair, and President Roberts presented a memorial praylnj the Logislatur not ko pas th bill. Th memorial rselted that for iOO years or more a Municipal law of this City prohibited those who were not residents for at least six months from receiving a Urease to drive or use a put'Jo cart. In 1 850 this ordinance was changed by sobptituting the word for City." Th result of this change was that a large number of efrtaen who made their living in Xaw-York removed with their families to Brooklyn, thereby evading (be taxation of a great City, and withdrawing a lan revenue which In justice ahould be expended among the people from whence it came. Reference is next made to the non-resident ordinance, pissed by the Brooklyn Com-aon Council many years ago, which prohibited New-Yorker from driving public csrts In that city, and to the recent repeal of that ordinance when the Xew-YorbJ Aldermen passed their measure. Th memorial also allude to the heavy hardens on real estate In this City and declnreS that It la manifestly unjust that name 4.000 eartmen" who reside In Brooklyiv but who make their monry in X-w-York, should incumber the thorougfaree with their tricks day and night and aot contribute a single dollar in taxatidn for the repair of our streets, toward the weir? and tear of which they contribute largely with helr he.vy.

trucks and drays. Like the Chinese id California they take everything wth them even jtheir bones. The memorial -then refers to the amount paid by this City for the Brooklyn Bridge, also to the fact that a large number of buildings In his City ar la want of" tenants, while tho who should occupy them fly to Brooklyn and New-Jersey to' sleep. The memorial closes by saying that every member of tbe Board ot Aldermen, irrespective of party, voted for the ordinance. At the cl'e of the reading of the memorial.

Mr. Roberts said it was necessary to use evs'rr effort to relieve the burdens ot the people of the City. The depreciation of real estate in Xew-Yof waa such that persons owning mortgaged property could not realize the amount of the mortttase at a forced sale. He waa not in favor of allowing men! who earned their livelihood and became wealthy Ire this Citv to go outside of It In spend their money. This ate of affairs affected not only the property-owners, but also th poor laoorer and the '20.

OOO eartmen who wer engaged la business in New-lWk. These classes, be thought, were entitled to pro Section. The Alderman, after remarking that, in hia (opinion, the Legislature had ruled this City long dnongh, said that he hoped the Metropolitan press wbnld uphold the Board of Aldermen ih their stand oathis matter. The Citv of Brooklyn owed all Ita prosperity to New. York, and he considered the effort of the Aldermen of that city to Influence Mayor Elv action on the ordinance as impudent." I Aldenusn Plnekney said he aptyroeed of th memorial from a Republican point of riw, aad ia-dorsed all thst Mr.

Roberts had aaid. Alderman Lewis moved to amend the memorial by stating chat the Brooklra Bridge appropriations had beea forced from New-York instead of contributed. The motioa was adopted.
