Within the past few days an unusual excitement, coupled with various rumors and @ multiplicity of speculations in @ partially suppressed form, was gaining ground among the well-to-do residents of Yonkers, owing to the pecullar circumstances sur- rounding the recent death of an old and wealthy citizen of that Silage. On the 24th uit. Dr, Carle- ton Gates, a retii physician, owning and living upon one of the most valuable estates in the village, expired at his home after @ short iliness, but not however, before informing his spiritual adviser an personal friend of a startling theory, which the dying man said would, if investigated, explain the cause of his decease, "It may be well here to state that Dr. Gates had never married, and latterly was of rather secluded habits, not even mingling with his immediate relatives, owing to an estrangement existing In the family for some time past. He re- cently returned from an extended tour on the Conti- nent of Europe. The precise nature of the dis- closures made by the deceased to the clergyman and confidential friend before alluded to has not been made public, but a portion of it has been divulged, and tus is in substance that deceased expressed a strong bellet of his having been pois- Sioned, and in connection therewith wholly exone- rated his relatives, Having appointed an esteemed personal friend, who is a physictan in the ott, joint executor of his’ will with the reverend gentleman above iudicated, no effort is being left untried to solve the tnystery foresiadowed by the deceased in his last moments. Previous to Inverment an au Vopsy was inade and the abdominal viscera removed to New York, where a thorough chemical analysis is now being made. Should traces of poison be found the prosecution, of the suspected parties may lead to some curious Meveiopments, The will of the deceased was opened and read by counsel in the presence of the family and witnesses a day or twoago, and it has since offered for probate at the Coonty Surrogate's office, when let- ters of citation were issued, returnable on the 13th inst, No mention is made in the will of any mem- ber of deceased's family, which is accounted for by the statements that bis parents are comfortably situ- ated, and that the catrangement mentioned above recluded the possibiity of his otner relatives being nefited by his death. The estate of the late Dr. Gates 14 valued at $200,000 whichis disposed of in his testament as follows:— To the village of Yonkers is bequeathed for public purposes the family mansion and grounds, estimated ‘at not jess than $100,000; toa female friend named Darling, $10,000; to ie housekeeper, $600, and to each oi his servants, $60.

Already the greatest changes have taken place wherever these grand avenues have been opened. Along the Cen- tral avenue and in its neighborhood, especially in the vicinity of Jerome and Oloif Parks, where the ground rises to a considerable elevation, and 1s free from the objections to the lower lands further south, costly houses have been butlt and are about build- ing. This avenue affords the wealthy resi- dents of this neighborhood @ most ready 1d delightful means of access to New York, a pleasant trot of an hour taxing them to their places of busl- ness, while the Ventral Park is go near us to afford the most pleasant of pleasure drives, When the elevated and underground railroads shall have been completed, the advantages of this locality will not be confined to the wealthy, but men of moderate Means can also find homes here. Already, 1u antici- pation of such changes, property in the neighbor- ood of Central avenue has been sold in smal! plots Suitable for such residents, and the main excitement of last season's real estate sales centered here. In addition to the roads opened under the supervision of the various commissions, the owners of Oloff Park have opened Van Cortland avenue. This road asses diagonally through Olotf Park, which lies just north of Jerome vark, is sixty feet wide, and is the shortest and pleasantest drive between Yonkers and Central avenue, the fine forest trees of the park atfording pleasant shade at all hours. At present it ts open to the public. The same paper, in an article upon suburban im- provements, after referring to the article above quoted and citing the fact that Hudson county, N.

The Board itself is a ly corporate, created by the Legislature pf New Jersey, composed of the owners of real estate in the county, and bh: ing certain powers that are exercised under the su- pervisory control of the Board of Chosen Freehold- ers which holds the plenary county jurisdiction. It is within its province to out roads and avenues after a careful survey of competent en- gineers, and this duty the Essex Count Road Board seems to have pe with admirable judgment. The county of Essex is, perhaps, exceptionably Vvorable as 9 fleld for sept ian this respect, e growilig cities of Ne zal th and range, and the beautiful Llewellyn Park, lie within its mits, and the Passaic river forms its eastern boun- dary. Avenues connecting these points have, there- fore, the great advantage of beginning and ending somewhere, and the work of the engineers is ren- dered thereby the easier from its inception. The lines of communication contemplated in the report are hese:—Frelinghuysen avenue, extending from Broad street, Newark, to Broad street, Elizabeth, fourmiles, Springfield avenue to connect Newark with Milburn. Fifteenth avenue, which will be a con- Unuation of Court street, Newark, in a perfect: straight line to South Orange, and a connecting lin! of the drive to the top of the Orange mountain. Cen- trai avenue, from North Bank street, in Newark, to Valley road, in Weat Orange. Wark avenue, an extension of Park avenue, in Orange, to Br street in Newark, Bloomfeld avenue, already ex- isting as the Newark and Pompton turnpike, which it ts. proj to reconstruct. connecting Newark with the extreme northwestern part of the county. Belleville avenue, running in @ dt rection nearly parallel with the aic river to the border line of Passaic county. All these avenues the soard would make one hundred feet in width, and lay out at a distance from railroads, where these are approached, great enough to insure against frightening horses, As far as practicable they will be run in direct lines, offer- ing the easiest and most convenient means of travel from point to t While the time and attention of the Board have been mostly given to roads of utility, as manifestly of the first importance, it is yet considered that roads for Vp pant travel are legitimately within the sphere of its action; and, re- rding the whole county of Essex as @ suburb of ew York, it has naturally looked beyond the county limits to the construction’ of three grand highways across the intervening county of Hudson to Jersey City and Hoboken, These highways should be built as well for pleasure carriages as for heavy trafic, of such width that the road for light driving might be in the middie, and separated from the tramMc roads by a row of shade trees on either side, It might be constructed of different materials from the side roads, and kept always perfectly smooth, aa it would never be cut up by the passage of heavily laden wagons. With such a road the business man of New York, tke | in New sareer inight Meg to and irom the city in his own vehicle with as litle delay as now attends his coming and going, for short distances by rail; and for the enjoyment of the road these grand avenues would offer the finest drives that could be desired. .

From t} jew York Tribt ‘ust 31.) ‘The Oninese shes Aa fs ete government have not . We ventui putingene Seely. We v red to assume from or e's mission. It would, perhaps, worth while inquiring too minutély into the le imfuence which an have iD ex: in the creation of this untimely delay and anomalous lings of Mr. Ross Browne. But assuredly there would be not! to wonder at if the Chinese ernment took frig! beg cep Beyer of i ena Owe y 80 and @ zeal go astonishingly indiscreet. We have lately Lad occa- sion to | by bitter experience, how sharper than @ serpent’s tooth 1t is to have a diplomatic rep- resentative who 1s afflicted with eloquence and a of Perhaps in the thirst for the case of Mr. Roas Browne we have evidence now that @ fatal gift of letter-writing is nearly as great a calamity when it falls to the lot of an American Minister. Mr. Bi 8 nificant intimation to really had any good course of pre) lion he better trot them out quickly lest worse should come of It, was not 8 happy mode of inspiring a timid, jealous, ex- clusive aud often-decetved nauon with confidence in the objects and the good faith of the American gov- ernment, Still more unfortunate was the reply to the addresses of the English and American mer- chants at Shanghae. If there is class of evil counsellors Whom an American or an Englisn Minis. ter in China ought especially to avoid it is that cluster and colony of British traders who have squat- tea in the open of China, If there is any policy whicl representative of the a United States ought to reject alike from instinct and conviction it is the policy which these men invariably recommend. It would be impossible to exaggerate the evils which have sprung from the influence of this class of persons over the Chinese policy of England, They are easentially narrow- Tainded, selfish and grasping; for them the whole raison Wetre of China and its Yast population is limited to the advancement of the trade they desire to push. Too often and too long did English states- men give way to the audacious importunity of men of whom it would hardly be too mach to say, a8 Burke said of a class not dissimilar, that “their ledger’s their Bible, their desk their altar, their counting house their temple and their money their God.’ Of late English ministers have come into power who will not lend their arms and the money of England to force the principles and the trade of this cluss of persons down the throats of the Chinese people; and it may be out of sheer despair of any assistance or countenance from their own govern- ment that the British merchants recently sought consolation and support from an American Minister. Mr, Ross Browne unlucky threw himself quite into the spirit of the thing, He laid down a doc- trine of which charity compels us to suppose that he did not clearly understand the meaning. He pecilnee the principle that Christian States are not ound to respect the independence of pagan States, and that civilized people are justified by virtue of their civilization in insisting on any alteration they please to ask in the domestic pokcy of States less civilized. Of course this is just the sort of policy to delight the British merchants of Shanghae. It is the policy which they were able for too long a time to force on the adoption of their own govern- ment, but which there is very littie chance that English government will ever adopt Cee it is emphatically the policy which the fnited States never did and never will acknowledge in their dealings with foreign nations. ‘Ihe pro- reas we have made, such as it is, in Ohina and japan—progres Which has earned for us the special envy of England—nas been chiefly due to our si and honorable recognition of the common principles of fairness, justice and respect for the rights of others. We have always proclaimed that if we would deal with the Mongolian and the Pagan we must deal with him on the same principle as those which govern our relations with the Caucasian and the Christian, It would be surprising, indeed, if the Chinese government were not even still a little suspicious of the proffered friendsfip and com- mercial intercourse of what are called civilized nations. Thus far, save in the case of America alone, they have found that however these relation- ships begin, they invariably end by echiny their application to Chinese society inthe shape of bom- barded cities, burning palaces, and humiliating trea- ties, Who can wonder if alarming visions of simt- lar resuits, brought about this time by American friendliness, began to array themselves before the mina of Prince Kung when he received Mr. Ross Browne's polite and peremptory admonition? We. all remember the most pleasant and wcreng story of the “Arabian Nights’’—the story of the poor fellow on whom the Caliph ses so many pranks to de- lude him into*the belief that he, the quiet citizen, ka the true Commander of the Faithful. Toe jest Was merry ettough even for the victim, until, suddenly gsent back to his humble home, he severed in declaring himseif Caliph, and was imprisoned and scourged as @ madman. Thence forward, whenever, on a repetition of the Calipn’s pleasantry, the hero of the story opened his eyes and found himself in the Imperial palace again, he knew too well Inat, no matter how delightiully the Sdventure might open, it was sure to end with the bien) and the dungeon. Pince Kw may well re- gard the proffered alliances of ‘civilized’ people with the same foreboding. He has seen what they came to before. We cannot wonder if he should feel en uneasy conviction that, no matter how “ages ‘they ate just now, they wiil end in the old, familiar, odious fashion ain. Certainiv, if Prince Kung did not feel such a foreboding when he read Mr. Roas Browne's missive, it must have been because he was shrewd enough to know that the bustling diplomatist had no particular See us his rons, and. Bo. power ,,whatever to ve effect to any meaning if he Now that fur Ross, Browne w recalled the duty of our government is clear. Leta Minister be sent to China whose name will aid influence with it, and whose force of character will secure him against be- ing made the instrument of a greedy, reckless knot of European and American traders. Let him be a man of principle; one, moreover, who has brains and soul enough to understand that the only possible basis of profitable relationshi, with China is a foundation of integrity, faith and justice. Let us hi no hint of ®ay Inclination to imitate the stupid and criminal policy of arro- nt interference, which England tried to uphold so jong in China, and which at last she has had the wis- dom to abandon, A more ins idea never entered into the mind even of @ professionai diplomatest than the notion that you can coerce a foreign coun- try into a profitable trading relationship, Trade got im that way has to be bought at tenfold its cost—as England knows too well from her past experience in China. Let us send a man of sense and influence to represent in China; let him act in the true spirtt of our national policy, and all we desire to have will come im good time, without cost or shame to us, SINGULAR AND FATAL CASUALTY. At alate hour on Monday night John Leonard, a man thirty years of age, came down town to where some friends were at work on the new Post OMice building at the lower end of the Park. While there Leonard got on a cart of one of the workmen and rode down to the Battery, out before reaching there fell off and imjured his head severely.
