At the-test'meeting of City Council, Alderman RAVENEL, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means presented tho following Report and Resolu? tions, which were adopted : ,'.: . i . Taro C?iUinitvt?e O? V? ?3 a mill MrjaBS, iii subiuit ting to Council a-bill- amending the Ordinance for raising supplies for tho year 1867, respectfully ask to state their reasons for so doing. It is now eighteen.months..since the present Council was inaugurated. Tho task of reconstruc tion-?t municipal, affairs was commenced with an empty..Treosnry,.and with a population dishearten? ed SJM-impoverished. Tho lirst effort was to re? store -confidence and the city credit. The public buddings wore dilapidr.ted, and rapidly Jailing into decay for wont ol' immediate and necessary rc ?airs-the. streets imperfectly and but - partially ghted, and in had order, as well- as the sidewalks and S gutters-tidal aud . other - drains , requiring cleansing, and the Hearth Department, impera? tively, demanding energetic measures, without re? gard to cost-the lire 'Department in want of much, to render it as officient as it had boen, and a golice to be established for the protection of fifty ve miles of streets in Charleston proper-tho maintaining of the charitable institutions of tho city, which were filled, with persons impoverished and unable to support themselves. These things, and many others, all required immediate action, and much money. The first important act of your administration was topase the Tax Bill to raise supplies for thc year 1866. A largo - amount of these taxes was paid in city hills, which, although - reducing the in? debtedness of the city, were unavailing to the Treasury, as by law those bills could not be re? issued, although b und to receive them for all dues of taxes, ic, to thc city. This, of courso, ?zurtailed the' receipt of - available money: and although much pressed your Committee could not suggest to .Council au increase of taxes to a bill already .considered by many as, onerous, and perhaps with reason, but nevertheless impera? tively i necessary. - Vader - circumstances of em? barrassment, your Committee asked and ob? tained your, consent to the borrowing of money, which they accomplished' at a high rate, of .interest; .hut it could' not be avoided, as.it was deemed expodient to do this rather than disappoint tho creditors of tho city, and to violate its good faith. Large accumulations ' of arreara? ges of interest doe to the holders of city stocks and-bonds, pressed heavily on Council,' and public opinion called loudly that this just claim should have its earnest consideration. Conned therefore passed a bill directing that the said interest should be fonded, and we are glad to say that most of these creditors accoeded. On the first of April, 1866, just five months after ihe reestablishment of tho city government, we had. the satisfaction of paying the quarter's inter? est dut?-on that day,, on the city debt. Tins, as we had hoped, at once created' confidence, reassured our citizens, and imparted an availabity and value to city securities .which no other corporation in . the- State enjoyed. .. -, Our city-was proud, and justly so, of haring sot BO good an example It was' a strong and impor? tant.' rnardfestation that we were- determined at once to begin th? work of reconstruction, and that in - good earnest. It lias been alleged thal:'Councilwas prematuro iu paying, its inter esti-if this was a fault, it is certainly pardonable, as it enabled many persons to meet pressing ob? ligations and to provide for their immediate wants. It conseil the circulation of money, and -its whole? some influence was felt throughout the city. It is but justice to our taxpayers that we should here state that to their sense of propriety and justice is Council indebted foi'thc'means with which they achieved this desirable end. They responded :to the ?sali on them for taxes, when they had but slender means,' -shoving thus a strong evidence thai they supported Council in its efforts to' . fulfil ita obligations. We are happy to state that the in? terest was all paid promptly each succeeding quar? ter., amounting in all to about three hundred thousand dollars. But, ' unfortunately, ve hare had a pressure on us, which, for the moment is dis? couraging ;. bot we must nervo ourselves . and renew our energies ia this our hour cf difficulty, ?lying on.our honesty of purpose and tho support of our citizens. It was a matter of deep regret arid of much reflection,'and only after tho exhausting of "every - expedient ' that . y OUT Committee asked \Council to authorize his Honor;' tho "Mayor,;' and the City Treasurer, to issue certificates of indebtedness to meet the last quar? ter's interest But it was either to do this or to deprive the holders of city securities of any way ofrrtali?ring their:interegts;- :' : . ::.': - ' . ' '?: -: With a floating'debt of fifty-five; thousand dol? lars, at arl interest of one and a half per cent', .a month, we felt as-if it was not right or prudent to borrow more money on terms.now current even'if it had bean possible to obtain it. " "We 'deem it best to state frankly the financial condition of the city, being satisfied that the good sense of our community would sustain ns. In passing the lal Bill it must he confessed that Council was actuated by lenity, and a desire to make the burthen of taxation as .light as possible, and . extended the time of final payments to 29th June next,, and should any be delinquent then, that na interest, at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum, was to be charged. Good feeling hero ignored our necessities, -which required that the last day of payment. should - have -been 1st April on all subjects of taxation, except those provided by law to- he '. paid;..monthly; moreover the inter? est, if the tax waa not paid then, should bo made commensurate with that" current. The bill we are about to submit purports putting it on this footing. Council must not, forget that the financial: changes in our State" have been very great since our Tax Bill was passed. The repeal of the Usury Laws has mode money virtually.a. commodity, aid its value enhanced o'r depressed according to the demands 1er it. There? fore, our citizens must expect to meet the change and conform to the result effected by it. -. It may be said that a rate of interest higher than seven per cent, ia hard and ruinous to those citi? zens who are unable to pay their taxes,'hut we .'.must examine the subject fearlessly, with a do terrnination to do justice alike to .au. . The tax Sy er, who responds promptly, .demands at our ads, as his right, that alljwho enjoy the advanta? ges and protection of the city should he made alike with Mraself to bear a portion of the public burthen. It has been, alleged that- Council had' been too indulgent. to delinquents, lt is true Council always leans on the side of mercy, and has extend? ed at times, under circumstances of peculiar dis? tress, an extension of time, which the esses seemed imperatively to-demand. It is due to the public to say that the arrearages of taxes dering the war, and the taxes of the last year, have been, paid almost beyond our expectation, especially when yrs oensider the pcrcrty of our pcoplo. ,. It ia almost unnecessary that we should urge on Council the necessity of groat economy in the ad Tnimstration of its affairs. Our actual wants are more than we can manage with comfort. In conclusion we have only to say that all of our efforts to manage with success tho finance of the city will bo unavailing-, unless sustained by the countenanco and support of our citizens. rtWTT,T,T ?M "ft AVF.NF.Ti.

NEW ORLEANS, April 6.-COTTON-The market open? ed quiet this morning, and has continued dull and inan? imate throughout the day. The receipt of the ll A M dispatches, reporting increased depreciation at New York, materially contributed to the general inaction. The supply was sufficient to meet ordinary requirements, and factors who Offered were generally induced to sou. and evidently disposed to make additional concessions; but the principal portion of tho buyers showed no de? sire -vhatover to operate, preferring ta await the receipt or later intelligence. Tho downward movement in Gold and Exchance also exercised an adverse influence. Un? der- theso circumstances the sales were extremely light, tho aggregate business at thc cl oso ' sum ming up barely 1600 bales, nine brokers participating in the business. Prices indicated further irregularity, and, on tho whole, an easier feeling, the market closing unsettled at our quotations. < '?

April 2.-CLAYED STJOAIU-Tlior? has prevailed considerable dullness in our market for this staple since our previous report of the 19th ultimo tho operations having been limited to the small cypher of U0O0 boxes, which have been necessarily wanted for the complement of cargoes of thc several vessels loading for Europe. These sales have been goncndlv closed at very Irregular rates, varying at 7>? to 7 rs, basis No 12 ID ?), and tn very few instances trifling lots wore obtained at OX rs, which, howovor. carmotforrn any criterion, inas? much os they were realized under special monetary con? ditions. . Purchasers aro much disheartened to .touch the article at these figures in the presence of the unfavorable situa? tion of foreign markets and the gloomy character of our moitotary^matters terciughout^tho^ Island, whUe the 1 t are offered, but planters, seem determined not togivo way at less than 7?o7? rs. No 12. Their chief reason for Arm rates is thc deficiency in the crop now becoming apparent MUSCOVADOES-No material change has. taken place in regard to this article since our previous report, owing to the good demand and the certainty that thc production of these descriptions will fall considerably short; sellers have been unwilling to yield to any reduction, and buy? ers have been .compelled to give the rates asked.. MOUSSES.-The good demand noticed in our previous report has kept unaltered up to the end of lost week, when the most urgent wants of shippers being satisfied, the market has commenced to exhibit less activity. - The sales have reached about 3500 hhds, mostly 0 rials por keg for clayed, although Borne parcels for immediate de? livery, in new' casks, and pure prime quality, obtained 5 ?j rials keg. .400 hhds CuntrilUgal, in old casks, .ot 4 rials. ' Muscovado at CaG.y rials' keg. CROPS-Although receipts thus lar show an excess over la t'year. they ore estimated at more than half the pre? sent crop, and accordingly no doubt eau bo entertained in regard to its shortness, compared with the previous one. - Some estates have already finished grinding, and their crops result iii a deficiency of about one-fourth from lost year, the cause of which being mainly attributed to tho severe drought experienced, and which prevails still in many districts. FREIGHTS_The demand for Europe has been kept rather slack, but rates have not undergone any material change.- . For the United States tho inquiry continues good under firm prices, but the arrivals of late being large wo anticipate some decline.
