At last, after anxious and vexatious delays, the bridge over Broadway at the corner of Fulton street was yee- terday thrown open to public travel, and the opportu- nity was taken advantage of by hundreds of people of Doth sexes to make the transit ovér it, The majority of these serial travellers wade it point to stop for a while om the upper platform, and from there view the ever- changing scene that presented itself below. Young and old, grave and gay, male and female, lined the balus- on either side during the whoie day, intent ob- servers of the busy whirl in Broadway aad Ful- ton street; and many were their comments as tothe moving throng that passed and repassed un- derneath them. As fast as one file of spectators turned from the railings and wended their steps down- ward, another crowd in waiting took their places, and leaning listiessly over the sides of ‘the new structure, took observations of the living panorama that is ever in ‘this locality moving in 9] ‘ite directions up and down Our most prominent thoroughfare. As evening proached the crowd op the bridge became more augmented. The spruce clerk, the catcu. " bookkeeper, and the sedate, slow-moving ant, all wending their way up town after the business bours of the day, took occasion to mount and pass over the architectural crossing, and doubtless the feat was duly mentioned at thousands of tea tables last evening.

TO THE BDITOR OF THE HERALD, Since the Ist day of August last there has been ac- here doing business coastwise, and which are sought to be taxed by sections 108 and 1090f the Interna! Revenue ‘act of July 13, 1866, These sections call for the tax of ds half per cent om the gross amount of receipts for passengers and mails transported by these shippers. ‘The receipte for freight are not taxable, because payment of the tonnage duty at the custom house is deemed wafficient tax in that behalf. “In the act of July 13, 1906, section 103 is @ few section. It will be observed ‘that that section repeals the portion of sestion 109 which called for a return to the assessor of the gross amount Of receipts tor transportation of “‘property’’ or freight, intending that payment of tonnage daty shall exempt only the freight list, not the passenger list. A ‘This interpreter of the law, a person in the employ of the government; and whose duty it was to act im reference to ‘‘a proper enforcement of the internal revenue laws,” in the month of January last made & thorough examination and ascertained that not one of ‘those coastwise shippers had paid a single dime to the government, nor beem assessed, during the five months Viability to taxation, though the Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue had expressty, by his elrcular No. 170, Agent information against jnquent sh) ‘whose fn the Fourth aod’ Tu addressed to the C following :-— dated August 1, 1866, simultaneously with the taking effect of the law, decided their liabilities, In enume- rating exemptions from payment of the tax he. makes exception of the transportation of aod maile tn this plain languae:— ‘Boon pts From transportation, ox of or jor to wi exe!
