The proof that they do not is to be found in the enormous increase that has taken place within the last dozen years in the population of the latter. In the face of these facts, the Legislature, at the instigation ef a small knot of specula- tors, not long since issued a commission em- powering the parties named in it to lay out for building purposes the upper part of the island, including,the beautiful region known as Wash- ington Heights. In the map which this body has prepared it has projected, between the Kingsbridge road and the North river, no less than six new roads and ‘avenues running paral- lel with each other, and between the Kings- bridge road end Harlem seven or eight. The effect of these will be to cut up and destrey one of the most beautiful regions on this continent, and that without the slightest plea of necessity. The existing roads, witha little widening, and the addition of one or two avenues at the most, ‘| will be sufficient for all the traffic to the upper part of the island for half a century to come. As inducements to building, any additional number of the roads must prove failures, for the simple reason that the inclinations of our business population do not take them out in that direction. Were they to be made the result would merely be to promote the inter- ests of the promoters of this bill, and todestroy, without in any way benefiting the city, the most beautiful and enjoyable of its suburbs. We rejoice to say that the schemes of these speculators are about to meet with defeat. A movement is on foot in which not only all the property holders, but many of our leading citizens, will unite to prevent them being car- ried out. The facts once properly repre sented to the Legisiature, it cannot, wtihane outraging justice and common sense, refuse to revoke the powers which have been eo shame- filly abused by the commission.

Salling of the Iilinots Yesterday for California—The Operations of Marshal Murray and His Oficers—Vesse's Sent Back from Sandy Hook, dc. ‘Yesterday the recent order from the State and War Departments, in relation to.the issuance of passports to all American vessels leaving the port of New York, came into practical observance, under the supervision of Mar- sbal Murray. ‘The steamsbip Miinots left at twelve o'clock yesterday for California, and, consequently, was the first to come under tbe rule. About half-past eleven o'clock Marshal Murray, accom Panied by « sufficient force of detectives, visited the Iilinots, and mede a thorough and minute search of the vessel and its prssengers. The Marsbal detailed tweiveat bis men on board the vessel for this purpose. The lag. gage of the passengers was exaasined, such of the passen- Bere wane mersonnel ar conduct excited any suspicion wore also submied to a search, and every precaution . was taken to carry Out to the letter the Injunction ef the government. It is true that the subordinates of the Mar- shal ocoyjd not get at some of the luggage which wae stowed away below, and was porfectly ‘uncomeatable,” ta Consequence of the position It occupied amongst a pro tmiscuous jam of merchantable commodities. The officers of the Marsbal accompanied the vessel as far as Sandy Hook, and in the meantime secured the revolvers and bowie knives of those om board (and all the passengers, with « few exceptions, were furvished with these delicate weapons), and placed them under the tock and key of ths purser of the vessel, with the understanding that they are to be delivered to their owners on their arrival at thetr destina- tion. It was erroneously stated yosterday that exch passen- gor was required to havea pase, This is a mistake, ae tho Marshal. after a proper search, and finding everything all right, is only required to give a general passto the oaptaio or agent of the olearing vessel on ber arrival at Sandy Hook or Throg's Nock. The (ollowing is the nature of this pasa:— down in turn. Both these contests took place on British soil. Then we had several contests of another character on yachts, reapers, &c., in all of which wo were the victors. The America took the World’s cup off Cowes, and the English yachts were nowhere. Next we fought by cham- pions again—Heenan for us, and Sayers for bis country and the stakes. England was beaten that time; but she would not admit it, because, as she said, her champion was only a little fellow after all. But she took away her cham- pion’s belt, though she would not give it to the man who had convinced her that her champion was unworthy to wear it. After that a Wall street broker sent his yacht to England, and brought on another contest, in which we were beaten. Again we were beaten through one of our steam fire engines, and finally we have been beaten in this lest immense mill between King and Heenan. Here are onty four results against us im all these struggies, and that is a state of the quarre! in which woe might gracefully leave it; but we have not yet heard of any Amorican who iso recreant as to propose that. 2 Beyond all question we take, aa a people, too deep an interest in this struggle to leave it yet, especially as the result is against us. Yesterday, 80 absorbed were all classes in the expectation of this news, that no other subject had any interest. Juvenal said that the inter- ruption of the Roman races caused more sor- row in Rome than the loes of the battle of Canne. Here we had the same public condi- tion repeated, and by comparison with this fight there was no civil war for a day, and even no nigger. Immediately upon the receipt of the President’s late Message, in which the country expected a plan for the settlement of the difficulties with the South, we-published an extra, and the people absolutely would not buy it. But our extra with the account of this fight sold by thousands. One million dollars also were bet upon the fight in this city, and at least three millions altogether in England, this coun- try and Canada. Are we in this any worse than the world at large? No; all vigorous, healthy and free races, from the Jews down, have loved a fight. Moses was a bard hitter, inasmuch as by a single blow of his fist he knocked one of those tough customers, the Egyptians—that we can make nothing of—out of time and into eternity. His descendants ornament the P.R. to the present day. Ulysses fought the giant Irus for a kid’s fries, and was declared the winner on the first round, having completely demolished the gisnt’s snuffbox and potato trap by * single hot one from the auctioneer. His countrymen had already made the sport a national one, and Greece deified muscle in Hereules. In the days when Venice was free the prize fight was one of her national institutions, even more decidedly than it is in England at the present time; but now there are no prize fights in that enslaved and peace- ful city. ‘ No institution that flourished in Egypt, Greece and Italy, and that is alive yet, can easily die. So there will be more fights. But after this we must have a better representative than Heenan. No disparagement is meant to his courage in this; but he certainly lacks the proper organization for # fighter. He has bone, muscle, and al] that; but yet he is too delicate in another sense. He is, as the breed- ers would say, too “fine.” His nervous system is not the right one, and in this particular he is in decided contrast with all the men who have been his opponents, and we may doubt- leas trace his many failures to this source.

Secondly, he is protecting the rebel workmen engaged in extracting the nitre from the nitre caves of East Tennessee and South- western Virginia, and he is also protecting the salt works of that section, from which the so- called “confederacy” now procures nearly all its supplies of salt. It will thus be seen that so long as Longstreet occupies the eastern cor- ner of East Tennessee he is doing the most im- portant service to Jeff. Davis. We dare say, however, that General Grant thoroughly under- stands the case, and will attend to it without unnecessary loss of time. Movements of Stan Quan General Ulimann Un. trae.

United States Marshal Murrey had detailed bis three deputios—Mosars. Baret, James an@ Rasbeck—to perform that duty. They accomplished the work in the most thorough manver, and were rewarded by finding one bundred and sixty-five revolvers, sixteen rifles and seven fowling pieces. These were handed over to Mr. Pattison, the purser, who will take charge of them until the Iilioois arrives at Aspinwail. Receipts were Coytnanann News—Weiirs Versvs Sran- tox.—On board the blockade runner Ceres, re- cently captured off Wilmington, some interesting rebel correspondence was found, which, bein; forwarded to Secretary Welles, he doltverel over to the newspapers for publication. After the arrival of,this correspondence in New York, however, we were agvised that the Secretary of War had forbidden the publication thereof. Secretary Stanton had discovered in these rebel letters another mare’s nest, although Secretary Welles had declared that be could not see it. Some of our contemporaries, ready for way excuse for a bit of news, jumped at the authority from Secretary Welles, regardless of the demurrer of Secretary Stanton, and published the correspondence. We could not, it is true, imagine what possible benefit the rebels might derive from these aforesaid rebel letters; but Secretary Stanton’s opinion was accepted as conclusive upon the subject. We have now to submit to President Lincoln that hereafter, in such cases as this, he shall decide the question himself when such learned doctors a8 Welles and Stanton disagree. | Proresstonat, AMENITIFG.Nailed to the counter, like @ bogus coin, by our conclusive refutation of hig misstatement that the Heraty’s Presidential candidates were never elected, poor Greeley now comes out with a whine about “professional amenities,” and protests against “ editorial discourtesies.” He gave a very striking fllustration of his theory upon this matter, some time ago, by remarking to Bryant, of the Evening Post, “ You lie, you vil- Jain Yeckum ea Indiana Politics.

Now we have a word of ‘advice for honest Jack, which we hope he will not only act upon himself, but do all he can to circulate among all bands in the naval service. Jack, for instance, was a sailor serving on board the gunboat De Soto at the time she captured this or that blockade runner. Let him, then, send the facts, certified by some offiser of the De Soto, to the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury, at Washington, and the Fourth Auditor will return to the appli- cant a certificate of the amount of prize money due to him, which, apon presentation to the paymester of the De Soto, will be paid without any drawbacks. In other words, by this sim- ple proceeding Jack will steer clear of the land sharks and put all-his prize money into his own pocket.

Twe men, however, became bighly incensed and talked a lot of honsense about despotism, the certainty of the South achieving its independence, and other secession twaddie. Solitary confinement in their staterooms for a couple of hours, however, prodnced a wonderful change in their demeanor, and on Captain Babeock assuring Deputy Mar- shal Baret that he would keep his eye on them for the remainder of the voyage, that officer decided to let them proceed. On arriving at Sandy Hook they were boarded by an officer from the gunboat Vicksburg, wnen the United States Marshal's pass was handed over and the Ilinols proceeded on her voyage. ‘A quard of tw men will be placed over the arms both night and day during the voyage.
