A number of cflorté have been made to open Ann street, the moat formidable of which was instituted some two years since, when extensive petitions and s good deal of pressure were brought to bear; but the thing was killed by the influence of Windust, in whose famous restaurant the politicians and members of the Common Council thon had their principal headquarters or ex- change for jobs. ‘The aim at that time, and previously, was to have Ann street widened to Gold street, and then Gold to Beekman street, and the latter to (ho East river. ‘This thoroughfare became for a time a substitute for the project of running Beekman street through the Park, when the latter had been killed off by Comptroller Haws.

MAYOR GUNTHER TAKES ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY AND GAINS ALL THE CREDIT. Under the djrection of Mayor Gunther the subject of surveying and laying-out a new avenue of the city from the City Hall Park to Fulton ferry was formally com- mitted to the regular City Surveyor employed in the Street Department and the Bureau of Street Open- ings of the Corporation Counsel's office. This gentle. man, Mr. Edward Boyle, undertook the watter in most elaborate and thorough manner, and mado a map of large size and exact measurement, showing a plan of an‘extonsion or fork branch of Broadway reach- ing Fulton ferry, as shown in the annexed sketch. Mayor Gunther being equally desirous to accomplish this great improvement and gain the credit of it for his ad- ministration, sent a communication, dated Septem- ber 4, 1865, to the Common Council, initiating this pro- jeot by such message, and by a resolution intended to be modified when the mapand survey were completed. The Common Council did not meet for many months, 6o that it does not appear upon their minutes until December 12, a8 follows-— MAPS, PROCEEDINGS, STATISTICS. &o, do. he. s s We give to-day a map of the proposed improvement Mor the relief of Broadway, by the widening and exten- ‘sion ot Ann and Fulton streets so as to form a street one ‘Bundred feet in uniform width from the Astor House to ‘Fulton ferry, This improvement has engaged not a ‘Aittle attontion already, but as the statements with regard to it have been put forth by a few lessees and property -Owners, whose views have been directed to their own immediate pecuniary interests, it may not be amiss to ‘havo something advanced on the subject from the stand- ‘point of the public interests, where this project had its ‘Origin.

The bonds are to issued fora term not Jess than twenty years, which effectually relieves all grievances grounded on the idea of assessments to be levied off the line of the improvement aud on other than property actually and acceptably benefited. To assess the cost of such a proceeding forthwith, when the great benefit will be still more greatly needed when Brooklyn has its population of a million, would not seem to bo so just, As tt certainly is not ao ‘oxpedient, as the mode proposed by the Corporation Counse! AMUSEMENTS. The Metropolitan Entertainments. The days of Easter wook are always joyous days, as they make up the concliding portion of am epoch which is enjoyable to the entire Christian world. Having lived io @ penitential spirit, and with the proper dispositions, it is to be hoped, for ‘forty days on sil-dressed dishes,» and duly dispensed with “sauces in their stows,” tho people return very naturally (rom Raster Sunday to por- terhouso steak, brown stout, and the theatres aad music halls, in order to ndjust the compensating balance of the wear and tear of humanity in tho most efficient manner. Enjoying, as tho main results of thoir Lenten abstinence, the mens sana in corpore sano, they are cloar headed and oritical, but fully open to amusement, provided the en- Con- vinced of these facts by long experience, the proprictors and managers of the leading aud well conducted housos, both in this city and Brookiya, sound a rerurgam this morning, and the annexed resumé, taken from the ad- vertising columns of the Hematp, will couvoy to our Teaders a fair idea of the excellent things to which they aregummoned. Mr. Hackott's engagement in Brooklyn, the engagement of Adah Isaacs Menken in New York, and the near advent of the Worrell Sisters to one of Manager Wood's theatres, are prominent features in the programmes for Easter week and the succeeding days of April, BROADWAY THRATRE. Mr. John E. Owens, notwithstanding the brillant series which, for nearly thirteen months, he has been playing at the Broadway, has, it scems, hold his strongest characters in close reserve. He appears this evening as Caleb Plummer in the dramatic adaptation of Dot, in the Cricket on the Hearth, and his famous repute in the part is likely to lend ® marked popularity to the production. The stage has seldom witnessed a more eloquent or delicate portrayal of simple emotion than ‘Mr. Owens’ personation of the gonile, loving, old toy- maker exhibits, and his reputation is commensurate ‘with the touching excelience of the effort. The piece, which is among the best of the school of domestic dramas, is well cast at the Broadway, and announced with all the requisite accossions of new scenery and mechanisina fhe admirers of Mr. Owons will regret to know that the necessities of his engagement—now with. in four weeks of its closxe—impose an unavoidable limit upon the run of Dot, and that it will probably not be given beyond a fortnight. A Dot matinee ts announced for Saturday afternoon next. LUCY RUSHTON’S THEATRE. Miss Rushton has made a decided and very ploasing “hit” with the new and brilliant spectacular burlesque, Valiant Valentine, at her neat and comfortable theatre in Broadway. The piece attracts crowds. It will be re peated, until further notice, with Miss Lucy Rushton as Vallant Valentine. Mile. Lina Windell, the popular danseuse, enhances the attractions of the mise en sence. A fine comedietta precedes the burlesque, and both em. ploy the full talent of Miss Rushton’s excellent company. Mise Rushton announces matinee performances, for the future, twice a week. Woop's THEATKR. At Wood's theatre on Broadway, opposite the St. Nicholas Hotel, Miss Lucite Western onters on the seventh week and last representations of her highly suc cousful engagement during the Easter bolidays on tho evenings of Monday, Tuesday, Tharaday and Friday, and at the Wednesday matinee Mins Western will repeat her grand pertonations of Lady Isabel and Madame Vine iu East Lynne, or The Elopement.
