The proceedings wero opened by Aldermam Sturtevant asking Mr. Lockwood if he was ready to eommence his argument. Mr. tookwood replied that he wasafraid not, and would like to have a few days to prepare himself. Mr SrorMs then rose and spoke at the committee on the subject of adjournmont till after the election, and remarked that be wished to retract 19 oxpres- sion he had made use of on the previous day, regard to having confidence in tho committee, for the continued determination of tho committee te go on every day with the caso looked very suspi- cious. Alderman SturTEVANT called Mr. Storms to order, and expressed his determination not to allow soy ste to apply such insulting language to the eom- mittee. Mr Locxwoop wade a few remarks as to the question of adjournment, but having insinuated that a member of the committee had written am article in the public press in fevorof tho railway, Alderman SturTEvanT called him to order. Mr Lockwoop asked pardon. Mr. Cuester Drigas. a storekeeper and proport; owner in Broadway, stepped torward and obser that tho proposed railway would in maoy ways in- jure Broadway, and hoped that the comaaitiee wouln give tho cage every fair consideration. No other person coming forward in opposition te the railway, Aldorman Sturtevant made several severe strictures on the unmethodisal way in which the whole case had been conducted by the opp wition- ists, and announced that the determination of the committee was to hold a meeting aguin to-morrow, at 12 o’clock, and every duy efter that, to hear the counael,or those who appeared independent of ceua- sel, but not to hear any one who employed counsel. Mr Covonran meade a few objections, which the ebairwan overruled. Mr. Sunuivan expressed his concurrence in the srrapgement Mr PuusE observed thet justice demanded that the committee should hear him and others, although they employed counsel, for whatever tho oot might gay be could say more, Alderman STuRTEVANT overruled the objection. Mr. Davis remarked that ag it was desirable te thoroughly sift tho matter, the commitive ought te be glad to hear every little point discussed, whiol the counsel alone could vot do, and thorefore every one who wished to speuk ought to be heard. Alderman SrurTevant again overruled the eb jection, and observed that if the committee were te ear every one,the discussion would be interminable. After rome further disoussion to the 10 offvoty, Alderman Srurtkvant declared tha’ he had re- ceived a letter from a property-owner in Broadway, stating that the omnibus proprietors and others ep- posed to the railway were detormined to trifle away ime, and so stave off the final result till the winter. veral gentlemen repudiated the idea, and de manded the name, and Alderman Sturtevant de- clared his willingness to show the lettor in his oflice this mornin; The committ then rore and doparted.
