Rest of proceedings in C. Our Navy in" the An interesting letter fiom tho American Consul at Genoa (C. Edwards Lester,) to a friend in New ork, an-1 contributed to the Tiibune, give a gratifying account of the condition, conduct, nud reception of the American Squadion at that place last summer. He says: Com. Smith vou may possibly know; he is from Boston, and is a true New Englander; he gnehes, ar.d is generally right.

Eveiy ship in his squadron is in perfect ruder, and as neut as a Shaker kitchen. livery officer and every man knows his place. Count Admiral de Very told me, after examining the vessels, that lie had never seen a squadron in such perfect order; nor such beautiful vessels. Our naval vessels always exci'e universal admiration, but this squadron is hat the Italians call vcrameule un and the Columbia is without doubt one of the most beautiful frigates in the world. Y' on may judge of the perfect discipline of the fleet when 1 tell you that 00 men came on shore, and not one broke his liberty and only one got drunk.

But the Temperance Reformation must take its share of the ciedit for this, for the flag-ship is a teetotal ihip, and very little isdiunk in the other vessels. The impression crpnted in the Mediterranean by Com. squadron, ill be infinitely more lo our credit than any other that has recently entered it; for generally the Italians nt least, hnvo supposed I hat our seamen were "a lighting and di inking set of fellow." The ruadron remained twelve days, and it was a season of festivity. Everyday at dinner, or every even-in? at a soiree, or the opera, we met. Nearly all the officers spoke either French or Italian, and many both, which made their society courted universally.

When this squadron came, the Marquis di Negro was at his country villa. He CF-mo in the town as soon a3 he could make arrangements to give a succession of fetes at his vilefia, with illuminations in the garden. But the Commodore had been detained at Mali on by adverse winds four week, and he could no longer delay his summer cruise: and day before yesterday we all went on board to say good bye. and in lour hours the main top-gallant-yards of the ftigates were hid behind the blue waters. The Fairfield sails for Ma-lion, and then joins the squadron at Naples, here the Plymouth had been ordered, and then they all sail round to the Atlantic and the coast of Greece.

They Hie also gratified lo stale lhat no serious debt is now outstanding against the Works, that all just claims have been promptly met, and that any further appropriations requited by their successors will be applied to the oxiensi of the mains, and thereby become immediately both advantageous to the citizens and productive to the city. Your committee also report lhat they have counted and destroyed thirty thousand dollars of torn and defaced Ciiy Scrip, hich has been rsplaced by tbe issue of the same amount of new scrp, as authorized by Resolution of Councils, passed May 29th, 1843.

Thev would also remark that the scrip continues to circulate Ireely, both in the city and the neighboring counties of ourown and the adjoining Slates.

The Committee beg leave to express their satisfaction with the industry, fidelity, and attention manifested by the Superintendent and other officers in their employ, and hope they may becoiitinued in their present situation by the next Councils. In conclusion, your Committee cannot refrain from offering their congratulations to your honorable bodies, and to their fellow-citizens in general, at tbe successful issue of the arduous work in which they, in connection with their predecessors have been so long en-aed, and by which the inhabitants will be furnished ith a coiibtiiiitBupplyuf pure and wholesome water, ubun- 30 jan 16 43 Wood street.
