No wonder there-are so few people in New York on ‘Sundays, when the facilities for exo ping the “noise and confusion,” dust aad heat of the city make greater in- ducements to leave town thas anything im it can possibly do to keop one there; then the cheap rate of travelling, particularly on the route from the metropolis to this ‘cbarming piace, inclines one to leave the city on the score of economy alone, to say nothing of the pleasure of the jeunt. My tip, on Saturday, was on board the now steamer Higbland Light, a perfect jewel of a boat, fitted up in a neat, comfortable and elegant style, with every- thing about her just to one’s taste, who likes to take com- fort as well as pleasure on board a steamboat, even for ‘afew hours’ sail; them too, “ she waiks the water like a hs to the Ocean Houve sooner ee aad ea was of itself @ pastime ‘elegant enjoyment and ended Q) Eb i i by the jeoner Capaayaneenleoen tote oo SHARON SPRINGS. ‘Smakon Springs, July 25, 1858.

And, moreover, your correspondent has good reason for believing that the said Toby and Hanna, of said stock or race, were originally raised within ‘the sound of Bow bells, London, constituiing them cock- Beys, the very of Indians.

Butler—Com- mencement Kwercises— Names of the Graduates, fc. A. P. Barman, LL. D., of the class of 1838, President Of the University of Mississippi, delivered the oration be- fore the Alumni in the North church. His subject was “The responsibilities devolving upom educated men to promote the cause of education.” He took a broad and comprehensive view of the subject, and treated it in a masterly manner. The annual meetings of the Linonian aad Brothers in Unity Societies (rival associations) were held in the Col- lege chapel immodiately after the delivery of the oration, whon speeches were made of a more unrestrained and social character than those made at the regular mecting of the Alumni. Long before the hour appointed for the commencement of the exercises in the evening the doors of the Centre church, ® very spacious edifice, were besieged by ladies and gentiemen anxious to obtain admittance, it having been understood that W. A. Butler, Esq., of New York, author of “Nothing to Wear,’ would deliver the poem before the Phi Beta Society. Tho body of the church was reserved ‘or the members of the society, aud as soon as the house was crammed to its utmoot capacity the doors were closed, hundreds heving failed toobtatn admittance. The Prest- deat of the society introduced Mr. Butler, who was greeted with loud applause. He gavea graphic poetical desorip- tion of a merchent prince, and succeeded in enlisting the Attention of the audience for two hours, The poem con tained many exquisite passages and abounded in humor. It ig understood that it will be published in a few days py the Messrs.

QOMMON PLEAS—SPACIAL TERM. Before Hon. Judge Hilton. JOLY 90.—New York and Harlem Railroad Company vs. the Mayor and Aldermen, dic., and the Board of Police Commissioners, &c.—Hii10" J.—The plaintiffs are a rail- read company incorporated by an act of the Logialature peased April 6, 1831 (Laws 1831 p. 823), with power to Construct a railroad or way from Twenty-third street to the Harlem rivor, and to transport property, &c. The Court cites some ef the provisions of the act, and proceeds to say that on December 22, 1831, the Mayor, &c., adopted Gn ordinance permitting # railway or track Iaid down : pursuant to this act, and in conformity with a map on file im the Register’s office. Section 2 of this ordinance is to the effect that if at any time after the construction of the railway itshould appear to the Mayor, Aldermen, &c., of New York, that the railway was, or any part thereof should constitute an obstruction or impediment to the future regulation of the city, or the ordinary uses of any street or avenue (of which the Mayor, Aldermen, &c., should be the gole judges), the plaintiffs or the direc.ors thereof shall, on the requisition of the said Mayor, &c. forthwith provides remedy for tho same, satisfactory to the Mayor, &c., or if they fail to fad sch a remedy they shall, within one month after such requisition, pro aed to it was >ofore the said railway was laid down By svction 8d, the right of regulating the description of power o be used in propelling carriages on and along the ailways, and the speed of the same, and all other power eaerved to the Mayor, Aldermen, & , by the act of in- orporation of the plaintiffs, was expressly retained and ‘was not complied wih of 1846, when the plaintiffs removed thoir &e , to Thirty-second street, ‘And assurance of the Corpora. the city that the location at Thirty-secons street be and not sudject to further inter Co aod assurances, the acted ments at toe location wee of upwards of $94,000.

Davis and Palmer, va. Sturtevant, (5 Sel- den, 268,) so fay sustains the jurisdiction, thet the point bere taken can scarcely be considerea open for discarsion. And it is proper to add toa: tae Counsel for the Corpora: pK. only declined to present it, but expressly dis- i te 2. It is objected that this Court has no jurisdiction to re- Police Commissioners; tba: they are State ofl es } sche * = de a officers; and against ‘an injunction can only be granted by the Supreme Court at a general term. r In support of this view I-am referred to cb. 488, Laws of 1851, p. 920, Bat upon reference to sec. 2 of that ao. it will be seen that the words “state officers,” é to sec. 1 Tne Polce Com “ proper }) they may o exercise of its equity powers, in the same manner, and to the same extent as other local or county officers, These Objections baving been disposed of, | now come to the ex: mination of tho principal question, whether the ordioaace to be enforced was passed in violation of pre- agreements between the Corporation of the city and the ils, Or of the rights and franchises granted to the plaintiffs by the Legislature, or without aay legal .
