The administration holds quite as favorable The fact is, there is ao use in the democratic party rising until they can know what is to be done when they do rise. They had better sleep a little longer. Free farms, free soil, and the ac- quisition of Cuba, (to cay nothing of Canada,) free trade, secession, and nullification, are all to be considered as elements in the campaiga of * vot of the prevailing confusion and dislocation of all the old party materials, we have but a year in which to re organize. Dut it is ridiculows to rise without a platform to stand on. As after the com- promise of 1520, pertics are undergoing a change-- wansition--revolution.

Their deficiency then, has not arisen from the causes that have com- pelled other Liverpool or European steamers, io western passages, to put into Halifax, viz. un con- sumption and insufficient capacity—Dbut it has erisen from an undue estimate of the severity and difficulties of wester iz ference being given to freight; added to which, there was an error in the manner of working the furnaces of the “Baltic,” which was not discovered until the consumption of coal hed beem such as to compel her to putin fora supply. Probably, the same error has been fallen into with the management of the boilers of the “Arctic,” There is another difficulty that these steamers, ia common with all American steamers, are subjected to, and that is, the inexperience of their firemen. The importance of this point is one that canpot be ap; ciated by the public; but it is one pregnant with more loss of time, and waste of fuel, than I dare venture to assert with any confidence of its general cregit. It bas been said, and with truth, too, by those connected with the Cunard line, “ Give us your veewels, and we will beat you # day; and they might have added, and cave ten toms of coal per cay.

Jay. 24.--This Board met at the asual hour; M Mor- gens, President, in the chair. PETITIONS REFERRED, Of Isaue Randall aud others. to have the sidewalkoin ‘Tweltth street, between Broadway and Fourth avenue, Raliways to New York City. The increasing traflie of the New York rail- rods hes suggested to us the propriety of giv @ brief sketch of the three lines that rum ‘ato this city, namely, the Harlem, New Ha- ven, and Hudson River lines. As @ general remark we may observe, that the directors of two of thase railroads (the Hudson River company, as yet, have not hadtime,) donot kept pace with the tplit of the age, the relative position of New York, or the progress ef traflic, in the erection of suitable termini, or depots, Until lately, the termini were adisgrece to the Empire City. They are a litde better now, but by no means to be regarded as among the ernanients of the city, as they ought to be. When we compare them with the magnificent structures in Boston, a city whose wealth ia far in- ferior, aud whose population is only @ little more than one-fourth of that of Gotham, we feel ashamed for the taste and public spirit of our railroad direc- tors. In “the City of Notions” these buildings are pointed out to strangers as something to be proud of. Here we feel rather disposed to hide theny from visiters. In Ungfand, too, the extent, accom- modation and magnificence of the termini cas: our buildings into the shade. The new station house of the Harlem Railroad, at the junction of Chatham and Centre streets, is a vast improvement on the wretched old building which formerly stood en ite- site; butitis far from whet it ougktto de. The depot of the Hudson River Railroad, ia Thirty-riret street, is an exception to the general rule. As fer as solidity, capacity and utility go, it is e noble struciure, and does great credit to the directors ; butit wants elegance and ornament. We have every hope, however, that both these companies will advance in afew yeara, and will not permit our reilroud termini to be any longer & repy the city As forthe New Havea Railroad d tors, their progress is 60 slow and snail-like, and | they are now go far behind the age, that we have but liaie expectation of iivivog long enough to see anythiog emanate from them deserving the name of improvement. We chall now proceed to give a separate siretch. of each road :— THE HARLEM ‘Was the firs: established, ihe charter of the com- pany having been obtained iu 1829, and a portion of the track opened for the conveyance of erg in 1882. The portion first opened extended fr the Bowery, just above the Bowery Thea’ through the Fourth avenue, to Thirty-second sree whither the cers were, drawn by horse: A Thirty-cecond street, it enters the first cutting to the solid rock at Morris Hill, and then pro- ceeda to the tunnel under Prospect Hill, York~ ville, which is 595 feet long, 24 wide; and 21 high, and being cutin the solid rock, required no masonry” in its construction. Jt cost $9,000. Thence »t pro: ceeds to Harlem, crossing the river © a sud» stantial bridge to Westchester county. To meet the increased amount of busivess caused by the connexion of the New Haven with the il live, the company have erected, at Thirty street, @ handsome engine house. It is of brick, with sixteen sides, and three entrances, its diame- ter being 126 fect, and that cf the turn table 3+ A the Atlantic Hose Company, No. 14, fora new en- me. * Ot Robert Davis, to be reinstated Im the Fire Depart- ment.

Harlem, from which the road iakes its name, was founded by the Dutch in 1638, and is still principally inhabited by them. At Twenty-seventh street, the company crected 4 large oui 4 for the freightege business, and shede for the horses; of which, at the preseal time, they employ a stud of 200. The line remained unextended for some time, no addition or impreve- ment being made toit. Atlength, the great advan- tage which would be felt by business men if the lime were extended more into the heart of the city, ceused a number of persons to take it oP and fually the wreck was brought through Broome strreet and Ceatre atreet, to toe janction of Chat- ham street, with the later. The block of buildings at the corner of these screets was bought, end a portion used for the purposes of a station. About the same time, the small four-wheeled cars were ut on the line, for the passenger traffic in the city ‘rom seven o'clock in the ming, until cight ia ing. one of these cars starts from the Cit; Hall every five minutes, after which, unti) mid- aight, they continue running every fifteen minutes This arrangement has been fouad to be of the greatest convenience to persons living up town, and the emount of traflic has been correspondingly large. The distance from the City Hall to Twenty- seventh street, is about 2) miles, and the jare charged is only six cents. These cars stop et any poiut on the route desired, to take up and set down essengers, though it would be moct desirable if they Were perinilted to stop only at the crosswalks of etrects. To give some idea of the amount of einess done, we may mention that the receipts for enger traflic up to Twenty-seventh street, on. one Sunday, some time ego, were $14,000, and each car averaged atout $55. urther im- provements ere pow proposed by the company. ‘hty wish to extend the track round to the poini ofthe Park, and in place of the former iacommo~- aious and shabby etation, a large handsome four- storied building is nearly completed. The city treck has been also laid ‘with the improved rail, and there is now @ turn out into Grand street to the Bowery, the route for all ears going up, while these coming down proceed by Broome street us- formerly hus the former delay. and colusions | caused by the meeting of the cars at so sharp en angle will be avoided in fature.
