We arc abend entry encouraged and strengthened by this gcner.as pntron age.' Although oer eatptrnsos hare largely exceeded, as :no-e of a new paper afforded so cheap a- " ir- mu-t ,.e-.-?ar..;. exceed, the receipts, wo yet feel that ''All's well." Oer Advertising Patronage has also been q.:it-.- equal to obi anti? cipations, and is steadily increasing. In fact, the sharaeter of our circulation, being ?aiDly amonsr the active and sab stantral Middle Class ?f our citizens?those who live by their labor or their business, and are neither above the necessity nor devoid of the ability to buy and sell to the lest advan? tage? renders r-ur sheet no excellent medium for advertisers. Its circulation is now exceeded by not more than two Other Dailies in our City; and if our friends will but continue to approve and aid nor arduous enterprise as they have tar done, our subscription will be the largest in the City betorn the close of the Season. We lose money on our circulation by itself considered ; but witn CO.000 subscribers we can com? mand euiiti Advertising and such prices for it fi' n .. rendei our enterprise a remunerating one, and enable u? to increase still farther the expenses we n?w incur in procuring the ear? liest and most authentic intelligence. But we cannot hope to accomplish this by our own single handed efforts, however arduous; we need and solicit the generous and constant cooperation of our friends, and of a.i who believe that such a paper as The Tribune i1 needed s.r:d will exert a healthful influence in our City. We are doomed to encounter a bitter and relentless opposition. Toe mana? ger of the Bestell .Vive:".?er in Nassau-street, after vainly endeavossng to get the carrying of on; nape: into tl of his tools, so that ke might kill it by missing or designedly failing t? serve tke subscriber-, as one or two rivals have Leon killed hitlicrtw. has come square rouod on the r.tle-r tack, and proclaims that no carrier or newsman vho tercet or sells TlIE Tr II! I'VE shall have a Copy of his paper. This is but an item of the various means taken to break down this paper. It may succeed in keeping a few of cur patrons out ; of tkeir papers for a day or two, hat in nothing farther if ou frionds stand by us. Whig:. of New-York and vicinity ! our appeal is to you!?our trust is in you! You know us, and will judge whether our paper deserves to be sustained. We only ask you to do for us what your own feelings and thl tercsts ot the Whig Cause shall dictate ; and if you deem the latter will be promoted by the support and dissemination of The Tribun.', sat so t<> rotjR friends. OFFICES AND SINECURES UNDER THE CORPO? RATION. It is undeniably true, that the services of a very consider? able body of men. of various professions and qualifications, arc required to control and manage skilfully the necessary departments of the government of this great City. It is pro? per, ulso, that thus* men should receive a reasonable ci m pensntion for such services, and nothing mote. The fact that a vast amount of wealth lias accumulated in this City, does not afford any sufficient ceason why the taxes should be pro portinnnldy increased, hjl quite the contrary. If it be true, as the Comptroller states, that the taxable property in the City and County of New-York is valued a: two hundred and fifty-two millions of dollar?more than five-thirteenths nf ail the taxable property in the State?it follows as a necessary consequence that the taxation on the whom amount of pro? perty in the City ought to be much less t'sian in a County in the country, of ten times greater superficial extent Rid c:' only one-tenth part of its population. It is absurd, therefore, to contend, as the Comptroller does in his report, that we ought to be satisfied because the rate of taxation upon the value ot" property is not greater in this City thau in the coun? try. The truth it, that after taking every necessary expense into the account, any candid man must admit that it on?ht Mot to be more than one-third the amount. As hrts been often said, nut only the interest of every individual :tt the City, but | its future prosperity, requires that its necessarily multifu concerns should be managed with the mo-t ri^id economy. In our last article on this subject we alluded to what may be properly called the 'civil list' of the Corporation, and j pointed out some offices that we deemed unnecessary, und ' Othct* where the salaries were too high, ;:::J disproportioncd to tho services performed. Wo shall now eali the attention ?f the Common Council, and of the public, to a great number of ofliaos. the duties of which are little known, and !cs,,ai Iv defined; a ;n ut many of winch w ould be altogether anm ? s Mary under a pr.'per organization of the City loovcrnmcnt? ami some of which are absolute sinecure*. We can rind no ? Blue Book' containing a list of all the office-holders under the Corporation; such a compilation would be voluminous. JNor have we leisure to look them oat from thu laws and ordi? nances, or ?pneo to ie.-i<rd t'u-m. We siia? merely sckcta few, to whom reference is ma Ic i:i the Comptroll? r's report. First, of Commissioners. This city abounds with officers of this denomination, some of whom receive salaries and some do not; some have duties to perform and some appa? rently none. The Alms House Commissioners !tave no sn larics. but like Schureman we presume they sometimes do <rivo a profit upon purchases. Commissioner for opening streets: We find no salary set down '.' r this officer, and pro- ! sumo that his profits also are contingent. So also with the Surveyors for opening street;. The A [ueduct Commissioner has a salary, ami so have tho three Fire Commissioners, of $1,000 each. But we think the system of transacting the publi' business, by means of Boards ef Commissioners, objec? tionable. They have always been found inefficient. Most of their duties can be better performed by an individual than by a Board : which would be n considerable reduction in the expense to the public, whether the expense came from sala? ries ?r from perquisites and plnndi r in any other way. It is necessary to look into this subject. Next we have an army of Superintendents with their ch rks, enjoying various salaries from five to fifteen hundred s!ollars oach; Superintendent of Diwks and Piers, with thirteen V -.-!. Masters, salaries ^7,959.; ditto Rcservcrirw?h Surveyor avd Engineer, salaries $2,700; <!;.:.> of Roads, salaries $l.oO-l 35, ditto ?f Buildings with Clerk, salaries $1.940 J3; ditto of Streets and Clerk, salary $17?i>: ditto of Lamps and Gas. satury $1000; ditto s.1 Markets with twelve Clerks,? ! beside many others in diSercnt departments. Of the same charaetei are ;he Keepers of tho Battery. Park. Washington j and Tompkh s Squares, salaries $2.71175. Some of these ?ffice?(are doubtless necossary, but many them are actual sinecures, and in all the salaries are extravagantly h . jnajportion to the duties required. We also find seven Collectors of Assessments; besides .-. host of deputies. It seems that the expense of the collec? tions arc unreason ably large. Alse, three C il'e< tors of the A tears ?f Taxe?, with salaries averaging over each. This is evidently s'mer manufactured patronage, an ! a gross al use. The officets efth" Board of Health receive $1,000 ? sa!; ri.-s. Has that Board any tiling to \a at the present time 'hat can justify s-^.-h salaries * These are but a portion of the miscellaneous brood of office-holders, tha t are spread ?.vor the city, and live at the expense of the People.

In the Senats, on Saturday, reports were made, among others, in favor of the Assembly bin incorporating the Allaire Works, and in favor ef the biil to incorporate the Mutual Protestion Life Ins stance Company in the City of New-York. The Assembly bill relative to the sale of sun powder in the City of New-York was likewise reported complete with am'-acl ments. The Senate then wen: into Committee of the Whole or. the bill to ansend tiie Revised Statute* relative to the powers and duties ef executors and administrators, respecting the sale of re?I estate in certain cases. The. bHl to amc-d the Oon erai Banking Law was also considered, but the Committee rose whhtut taking any order on either of them. In Assexbi v.

Mr. Johnsen wished to offer a resolution calling upon the Commissionors of the Land '.orics to report whether tho land lying under tha water- of ;he East River belongs to the pea pie of the State or tho Corporation of thr City of New-York : bit: the House refused consent.

Death of n Minister.?-We nbscrve it: the Vermont papers notices of the recent death of Rev. \-a Lyon a: North Hero in that State. Mr. Lyon he- been for many year; a minister of the Gospel, and has also held many political otEces of great trust. He was for seme time a Member of the State Legislature, and for a brief period Representative in Con press. Naturally possessed of a strong mind, be devoted himself with unceasing earnestness to classical and theolo? gical studies, n^d was considerably distinguished for fats va? ried and '.Imriugh scholarship. Although possessed of ample wealth, he lived in a sty I" of extreme and even rude simpli? city; his habits were unsocial, and he had the slighte-t nos siblc intercourse even with his nearest neighbors. ?'.< a preacher, his sermons were well written and very generally acceptable. It is said that he has left a large and probably valuable collection of manuscripts. Murder.?A horrible murder was committed near Centre viHc, Git., about the middle of April, !>v a man named B. W Murdock, who some three years since kept an oyster cellar jn Cnatham Square, ;n this city. It seems ihn: in company with his victim, whose name was Thurmond, and who assist? ed him in the enterprise, hs ran away from his creditors in Athens. Ga. Whim they arrived near Ccnmville, they en? camped for the .v.ght?and here the horrible deed was per petrated for tin sake of about .* lt/0 which Thurmond had with him. The body was found buried near a log, Murdock pcTiued, and a bloody ha: hct found i. his truck, the blade also csvered with clay similar to that where the crave was : tlug. He ha? I 'en committed to jail. Another Burglary.?The st?re of Messrs.
