This is application for injunction from the Supreme Court, by certain citizens of New York, to = ‘and stop the Hudson Railroad Company from ae Save its rails in certain streets of the city of ork. On Saturday, E. Sandford, Esq . pursued and conti- nued his argument in behalf of the applicants. The sieving is a synopsis of his able and powerful argu- ment:— Ast point—The Legislature, in enacting the charter of the defendants, conferred franchise upon a mere | private corporation, and they had no constitutional power to authorise private property to be taken, with. out the consent of the owne: corporation, tution, to delega' pI corporation—any part of the sovereign power of | the people of this State, to be exercised by the defen- dants, at their own discretic id for their own benefit. | The Legislature have not d: appropriated to the use of the defendants, nor appointed apy public officers, or political agents, or organs of the sovereign power, to exercise the sovereign discretion; | but have let the appropriation to be made by &p corporation, acting upon.the irresponsible judgment of its own agents, as to what lands are necessary for the uses of their road. 1 No power to authorise them to take lands in fee. 2, No pewer to authorise them to take materials. 8d point—If the defendants have, by their charter, conferred upon them the right to take private property for tho uses of their railroad, such property can only be taken by them upon paying just compensation. 4th point- Such compensation must be made by the defendants before the land can be taken by them for u of their road, and before any work can be done the ards the construction thereof. bth point—By the charter of the defendants they are required to make compensation for all land, real ese tate, and property taken possession of and used for the construction and maintenance of their railroad, or which may bo affected by apy operation connected with such construction and maiatenance 7th point—The plaintiffs have an interest in the lands taken by the defendants in laying down their railroad track upon portions of Hudson street aad Canal street, and are, respectively, the owners of other lands, fronting upon suid streets, which are injuriousiy | afiected by the construction and maintenance of said road upon said streets. 7th point—It is not necessary to establish the claim of the plaintiffs to damages in this case, to show that the plaintiffs, or either of them, are tenants of the fev- hold, or legal owners of the land upon which the de- | Tendants were about to lay their iron rails. If others be the owners of the lond facing the parts of Hudson streetand Canal street, the plaiatiits own lots frout- — ing thereon, and have an interest in and right of pas- sage over there lands, for the purpases of their busi- ness, convenience, or pleasure. his right is an in | corporeal hereditament, and for the particular injury ‘te thie right and the lots of land owned by them re | spectively, the plaintiffs were entitled to have compen. | sation made to them before the defendants procesded to lay down their rails, [tis sufleient that they ha ce pterest, which will be impaired by the defen. | dants’ work, to give them a right to compensation, bth point—The use whieh the defendants design to make ot the streets in question is wholly inconsistent with the purposes and objects of their original deca. _ ration, ‘The plaintiffs have paid a full consideration for the right to the enjoyment of these streets, to the full extent of their dimensions, respectively, as origi- nally laid out, and in the aceurtomed manaer- Th have a right to the injunction of this Court to restrain any use of said streets for purposes other than those orginally intended. and which will impatr the use aud enjoyment thereof by the plaintiffs 9th point.—In considertug the questions of the rights of the plainti aud the damages they w! affer from the acts of the defendants, the Court cannot eater apon the question whether any public benefits may arise from the defendants’ work, which might tend to coua- terbalavee the inconvenience and injury it will pro- duce, ‘i be violation of the rights of the plaintiffs, and the injury to their property, enonot be compenrated nor vindiested by any benedt which another portion of ‘the public may derive from the extension of the ratl- ‘way of the defendants, 10th point —The encloeing of portions ef Canal etreet and Hudson etreet within the rails to be laid by the defenden d the permanent cocupation thereof by the rails fo laid, will cousticute a puryrestre; aod the injury. inconvenience and annoy: and from the use which is lntended to be male ts ty tke defeadants, will coustitate a nuisances, Fre t th h will be custained by the piatecids from, they | llth. polnt —Uni entitled to an injunction r the charter of the defendents, they alone can apply for appointment of commis-touers to anes the damages Tria power, givam th the com. pany.dove not affect or impatr auy of the plaiatils Temedies by acti 12th point.—The denfendants had no power under their charter to locate theis roads upon the stroets im question, without first obtaining the assent of the cor- poration of (he city of New York to such location; such arent bas not been obtained, iff’ righta ili be invaded aud their property injured by the iile- uthorixed proceedings of the defendants, and they are therefore entitled to am injunction When Mr. Sandford had ony ¥eq.. followed in reply. on pan avd hed net concluded his remarks at thre» o'eloc when the court adjourned : Nov, 19 —Mr, O'Conon resumed his argument in op- porition to the motion, aud contended that he had shown that the motion is rendered tnapplicadte, by the View which defendants had prerented to the court, and that the objection to the proceedings of this railway company must find support somew!

Under these circumstances, he contended, it was too late to apply for an injunction; they let them goon with @ large expenditure; it is too late to come for an injunction against laying the rails that are already laid; and he would ask the gentleman for an authority for a preliminary injunction, for compelling them to take up the rails that are laid down, He con- cluded by subsoitting, that after the Corporation had the authority of the Legislature for the construction of this railroad, the court could not interfere; it is in vain for complainant to come into « court of justice, and ask them to ride over a law passed by the Legisia- ture. He should be ashamed to trespass on the court, by travelling over the ground so ably argued by his learned friend, Mr O'Conor Mr. Currin rose to reply. in conslusion, for piatntiff, and would contine himself to the argument on the other side, ‘The first proposition is, would this com- any have had this right without getting authority rom the city of New York? and if they had not, have the Corporation conferred it? if not, have plaintifts @ right as property owners to restrain the breaking up of the street? and, also, as to the authority of de- fendants being first limited to Fifty-secoud street. Was the legislative grant of itself sufficient to give the company the right! Counsel read from article 4, of the act of 46, and further read from the bill, that the company shill not bave the right to lay the track, without the coufent of the Corporation of New York, and continued to argue that such had not legally beea complied with, ‘The court adjourned,and Mr. Cutting will reeume this morning Court of General Sesslons.

J. Wallack) and the beautiful acting of Lester, Stevens, Jordan, Wallaok, and the other actors. The piece throughout is a master piece of rcenie and dramatic skill, histrionle talent, and is perfectly absorbing in the interest it creates in the mind in every scene. The house is nightly crowded to see this beautiful drama, Broanway Tratae—The “ Child of the Regiment” was repeated al the Broadway last evening, to a good house, notwithstanding the inclemency of the night. Miss Roa Jacques, one of the most promising singers of her age that we bave ever had the pleasure to hear, waintains most fully the enthusiasm with which she is received in this particular piece. The joyous, unre- strained, and military loving Marie, seems to be eape- cially adapted to the spirited and animated style of Miss Jacques. If she bas faults, they are from t berance of an enthusiastic mind Her voice is full, emphatic, clear, and svemingly inexhaustible. She never tires—she mever gets tired; but she sings like the birds. as if from an ecstney of delight that will mot be suppressed, She possesses the elements for dis- tinguished career, and she deserves encouragement. Her Marie, especially in the trio in the second act, exhibits the blended tenderness of the young girl, and the dashing nonchalance and glory of the eamp, with a never failing effect upon the house, The Sergeamt Cartouche of Mr. Seguin, 1s eminently appropriate as the protector of Marie.
