Acs. THE EVENING POST. FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31.

DILIGENCE OF TUK CITY COUNCIL. Many of our readers are not aware, perkaps, that act as a member of the Common Coonoil of this city, is no longer to perform a gratuitous service. About a year since a change was made in this respect, and each member of each board now receives four dollars a day. The "change, although made for what has the appearance of an equitable reason, namely, that men should not be expected to give their time and labor to the publio without a fair compensation, has brought a great abuse along with it. The two boards are in session nearly all the time that is to say, every evening, and the Common Council has become a sort.of Long Parliament.

Formerly, while the services ef the members of the Common Council were gratuitous, the members at-ise inbred every Monday evening. Whoa the reform was effected, which separated the legislative functions from the executive and ministerial, and left only the first to the Common Council, devolving the two latter upon the City Departments, this was daemed altogether sufficient. Four days in a month intke forty-eight in a year, nearly two months out of the twelve, whioh, one would think, is ample time for men of business to consider all the subjects brought before the municipal legislature and to pass tho necessary ordinances. There was no temptation to hold frequent sessions and to deliberate a long time on trivial subjects before the late change, and accordingly what then was to be done, was done with tolerable despatch. Mow there is a premium of four dollars an evening for going through the empty jrms of business and debates about nothing, and it proves too strong to be rotate d.

For nearly four months past, the Common Council bu been in session almost every evening of six days in the week. Daring the whole of the present month its sessions have been as regular as the return of the night, and it is now said that the Boards do not intend to adjourn till next Wednesday. The Washington Market hat furnished one fruitful theme for these barren deliberations. It was agreed, a year since, that something must be done in the way of rebuilding the Washington Market, which is crumbling in pieces, and will soon be in ruins, livening after evening the subject of tho Washington Market is brought up one member has one plan, another member has another, which are all leisurely discussed in their turn committees are appointed, and reports are made, which ge to the printer. There is no hurry the Washington Market stands yet, and as long as it stands, we give each member a chance of making four dollars an evening.

If this cow is well managed, it will give milk all the year round. The Gas Contract, of which we have heard so much, and which was the subject of a veto of the late May or, still bangs undecided in the deliberations of the Common Council. There is a special committee appointed to report on the matter, but the two boards do not fatigue thenuelves with coming to any decision. Why should so promising a subject of deliberation be despatched out of the way 1 Then we have the extension of the Perrine pavement on Broadway, the extension of the Harlem railroad, and the late calamity in Twenty-first street, where so many laborers were ct ashed by the fall of unfinished buildings, all of them very good subjects to bring up from time to time and talk about, a purpose which they have been made to answer very fully, but in the meantime nothing is dona to dispose of these matters, either by acting npoa them or dismissing thenu An abuse has lately arisen in the form of public lotteries, which are clearly In the faoe of the law The subject has bsen brought before the Common Couneil, as a matter of course. So dear and explicit are the provisions of the law, that the simple reading of it was enough to show the Common Council what was to be done in the matter.

If it was intended that the law should be obeyed, they had only to direct their attorney to prosecute. If it was intended to disregard the law, the subject should hare boon dismissed at once. But the fathers of the oity are not the men to proceed in the plainest cases, w.thout certain grave formalities becoming the dignity of their office. A committee is, therefore, appointed to report, and the question is kept pending. It like raising a oonunUtee to report on "what's clack In the meantime, to voluminous hare the reports of the daily proceedings of the Common Couneil became, in eonseoaeneo of this dawdling manner of triosacting their business, that few read them, except those who have some memorial or petition, or othor personal application before the boards.

This is a misfortune since the ooneequonoe is, that when the Common Council are in mischief, searoe any body knows It. What the proper remedy is for the evil, we do not undertake to say but that some remedy should be applied is certain. We have received a letter from out St. Louis ecrre-tpondont, dated January 20th, a day or two before the action oi Geyer, the whig candidate, by demo cratic votes.

Mr. Atweod, the democratic candidate for Gover nor, ia Hew txaaapanlrs, wno, in nis soeoua teller, was made to declare that the fugitive slave law must not be called in question, does not seem ever, in his conscience, to have assented to this act of imbecility, and the consequence is a third letter, in which he reaffirms, ia substanoe, the views expressed in his first. As might be expected, a great commotion has been raised. Seme few of the local demoeratie ioomals stand by Mr.

The senatorial question in our Legislature suspended for the present, all farther action having been postponed Vy the House for two weeks.

Some observation has been excited by an extract from a letter said to have been written by Mr. Abbott Lawrence, which is going the rounds of the protcc-itnist journals. The person to whom it was addressed, can hardly have been a friend of the wealthy ambassador, or be would never have permitted this extract to see the light. A grosser display of igno rance, or a more bungling attempt to impose unon the public intelligence, whichever you choose, nas not recently been made, certainly aot since the same writer announced in his correspondence with Mr.

Kives, that in six months after the passage of the ind decadent treasury aet and the repeal of the tariff of 1842, there would not be a specie paying bank norm oi me rotomac In the extract referred to. Mr. Lawrence argues. or rather gives out, that our indebtedness in Europe, in the shape of national, state, city and corporation bonds, is entirely attributable to the character of oar existing tariff laws, and he cries out like a drowning man, that something must be done to arrest the flood of foreign importation. Now, Lawrence must have known that the indebtedness of whioh he speaks was, to a great extent, contracted long before tue present tans aet was paieed, and tnat tor tne re mainder, no tana, newever protective, oouia nave prevented it.

High tariff or low tariff, the general government must have borrowed money to pay for the Mexican war. Under the tariff of 142, as well aa that of 4b, the states and cities most have bor rowed the means to pay for their great works of internal improvement, and so with the innumerable raiiroaa companies tnat nave been Knocking, year in and year oat, at the doors of oar Legislature. The real cause of our indebtedness abroad, is to be found in that mania for internal improvement, which has as far outstripped the means of the coun try as it has the demands of business and the wants of the community. Had the policy, in reference to tbese works, advocated by the democratic party, and tho principle recently incorporated into several of our state constitutions, been carried out in our legisla tion, Mr. Lawrence's apprehensions would never have Deen so areaaiuuy excitea.

it is to tneae causes tnat we mast look for oar indebtedness abroad, and not to oar excessive importations. 1 hold it to bo nrettv clear, that our exports, since the passage of the tariff act oi i4o, nave been sufficient to pay lor everything we nave imported in tne same period. tours, 1QXA.

RECIPROCAL TRADE WITH CANADA, ETC. An elaborate and able report is about to be made to the Secretary of the Treasury, on the subject of trade between the United States and the British North American provinces. Mr. Corwin will, no donbt, lay it before Congress before the termination of its present session. The gentlemen employed in the preparation of this important document have en gaged the best opportunities of information, and have evinced industry and talent in making the best use ef those opportunities.

The facts whioh will be set forth shew, beyond the possibility of refutation, the advantages to oar own country and the neighboring provinces of reciprocal freedom of commerce and intercourse. The progress made in the ordinary Business ot tne session ia so uttie, tnat i eoubt whether this subject, pressed by no active, interested, intrusive agents on the attention of the national legislature, will be acted npon this winter, but the effort should be made with none the leas seal for that. TBI BRITISH IN SOUTH CAJtOLIHA. The correspondence between the British Comal at Charleston and the Governor of South Carolina, relative to the imprisonment of colored subjects ol Great Britain, has excited much surprise here. That the government and mercantile interests of Great Britain should be indignant at the arbitrary seisure and imprisonment of innocent British sailors, is what has been expected here for some time, and indeed it has been protested against before, but never before has the consul of any nation presumed to address himself in such a case to the authorities of the state in which he is permitted to reside, it is a matter belonirinff whollv to the federal irovernment.

wbiah alone any oonsul can lawfully and officially know and recognise. Some time daring Mr. Buchanan's term of service in the State Department, Mr. Packenham energetically protested, aa had been done about twenty-two years before, against the imprisonment of a British subject at Charleston, as in violation of the treaty of 1825, which stipulates that the citizens and sub jects of each country shall have equal privileges, as personal iiDeny, in tne ports oi tne oioer. Mr.

Buchanan admitted the violation of the trea ty, bat said in snbstanoe that slavery was so strong in this country, that it imprisoned whom it pleased and infringed whatever treaties it pleased, so that if the Britifcti could not quietly submit to these things, me treaty must be terminated. 1 he matter has tbus lain for three years, when on the occurrence of other eases, Mr. Mathew, the Consul, takes up the controversy where the minister and Secretary of State left it, and appeals to Governor Means, of South Caro lina, no uovernor is evidently flattered by thu unexpected mark of deference for the state government over which he has the honor to preside," but says in a civil way, that he does not see how he can do any thing for the consul. To my mind, the course which a proper sense of the dignity and rights of the federal government would dictate to the President, is the summary revocation of the acknowledgment of this consul's cow- era and character. Bat 1 expect no such exemplification of Aoman virtue from uur present ruler.

MB. BUCHANAN AND HIS PLANS. Mr. Buchanan is on the ground adjusting the terms between the protectionists and the "judicious tariff men." It is the general belief that he has floored Cass in Pennsylvania, and now holds in his hands, as so much fixed capital, her iron, eoal, and spinning jennies, tie urges the necessity of doing something tor those interests, aa he ta conscious tnat be drew a pretty heavy draft upon his own credit with the rennsyivanians, wnt-n no rauiea tnem npon rom, Dallas.

Mitford's book, which has been a standing authority in schools, is al most worthless. Thirlwali, is not so complete as it might be, so that the scholar who would go into the niceties of learning about the affairs of Greeoe, has been compelled to make use of the German. There Boeekh, Otfried Muller, Nitsch, Bottiger and others have left nothing to be desired.

Mr. Grote aeems to have followed the German in his method of treating Grecian -History. All the earlier part of what is commonly included in the his torical narratives, the expedition of the Argonauts, the wars of Thebes, and even of Troy, he regards as entirely legendary, and has therefore disposed of it very muoh as Niebuhr disposed of the early Roman ages, t. he converts it into myth and poetry. Whether he haa not carried his theory, in this re peat, too far, it is for the antiquarians, not us, to de termine.
