The City Court has cognizance of all civil causes where the title of land is not concerned, and has the same power and authority and proceeds in the same manner in granting executions as the County Courts of this State, provided the cause of action arise within the limits, and one or both of the parties is a resident of the city ; and an appeal from this court lies to the Superior Court.
The Mayor and Aldermen are severally possessed of the powers and authority which by law are given to a Justice of the Peace.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THERE are few subjects pertaining to municipal economy that are more universally and intensely interesting than the prevention and extinguishment of Fires. The citizens of New Haven, with abundant cause for thankfulness, have, perhaps had sufficient experience of the desolating power of this master element, to admonish them of the necessity for great vigilance and carefulness in guarding against its future ravages. A dependence upon such casual and promiscuous crowds as usually rally at the alarm of fire is always precarious. Our citizens have not been unmindful of this fact. There are now eleven regularly organized companies belonging to the fire department, (not including the Fair Haven companies,) and we believe that the affairs of each are conducted with interest sufficient to insure their prompti- tude in all cases where their services are required. The members of these companies are by law exempt from military duty, and city poll tax.

In addition to the above the by-laws of the city (by which the department is governed) provide for a "Sack Company." The object of this company is to secure and protect books, papers and other val- uables in case of fire. It does not appear however that any such company is now in existence.

LITERARY INSTITUTIONS.
1
NEW HAVEN has justly been denominated an "emporium of Litera- ture," and in naming the various institutions which dot the whole extent of our city it is perhaps useless to occupy space in speaking of the facilities here enjoyed for literary attainments. There is no place on the face of the earth where nature and art, religion and science are more beatifully harmonized or exert a more benign influ- ence than in this community-this oasis in New England-the fairest section of the most enlightened nation in the known world.
Yale College .- This is said to have been founded in 1700-and from that period to 1839 the number of graduates will not vary much from 5,000 or an average of about 37 per annum.

Kingsley, Samuel J. Hitchcock, Chauncey A. Goodrich, Roger S. Baldwin, Henry White and Wyllys Warner. Hawley Olmstead, A. M., Preceptor. Wyllys Warner, Secretary and Treasurer.
