He ailuded to several pojnts in tue bill. It was necessary, m order to develop the seneme, to dig up the street, and this would be an op-trnction to trade, The experiencé of all basiuess men wad been that when trafic and ,trade had once -been direcied from a popylar highway for a length of time, it had gone never ,to return, He wonld invite the attention of the gentlemen present to the case of Peurl street, It Would be remembered that after the great fire splendid and commodious warehouses had been built for the dry goods trade; but the tjury wrought by that disastroue fire was never neu- tralized. Trade never revurned to Pearl street; And with Broadway the effect could be seen. Were this scheme carried out it would stop the great trade which is now bemg done from the Battery to itg northern terminus, avd ihe real artery of our city, abighway-bulit up with substantial stores, woud be utterly destroye |. He was not willing to stand by and see these unwise measpres triumph, nor ead he countenance amy movement calculated to do s0 litte good and so mucin evil. He was, therefore, a cordial supporter of the opposition to the Arcade bill, and woud exert him- self to secure 1ts final failure. He moved Lhat a com- mittee of five, from @ geueral committee, be ap- pointed to take charge of the business arrangements Of the gentlemen to visit Albany aud: intercede with the Governor, Mr. GEORGE GipBs said that one of the most ob- poxious features of the bill was the ciause coufiuing @ Issuance of injunctions to a single coure (the jpreme Court, First district), and possibly to a sin- yle judge. Thus would the owners of the longest Mne’of property in the ctty be trammelied, and it might be impossible for any jusitce at all lo be meted out. Judge Roosrvect said that it had now come to be a@ common occurrence for venal legislators to inter- Polate such clauses at the instance of railroad and steamboat jobbers aud other monopolisis. He con- Memned the clause. Mr. B. L.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Iwas much surprised at reading in the Sunday HERALD a report that John Foley and the Twelfth and Nineieenth Ward Citizens’ Assoclation endorsed the ruin of sroadway—the Arcade Railroad plan. I have too much interest on Broad- way to favor its ruin at the meeting of our Association on Saturday last. The Arcade plan was strongly denounced by our whole commit- te, and the undersigned was the first to condemn it. We are, however, in favor of an underground railroad, and this we must have sooner or later. Some means of rapid transit must be secured by which we can reach the Park aud the Br per part of the island from the City Hall in ten or fifteen min- utes, As the Arcade ‘plan requires three consents trom the Broadway property owners beiore it can be built, tus virtually kills the bill, but I learn another section of the same act provides for a tun- nel underground road, and {f it will result in giving us what we so sadly need—an underground rail- rowl, 1 hope his Excellency Governor Hoffman will approve the same, so that our association may be set right betore the people. I annex a copy of the re-olution passed at the meeting referred to:— Resolved, That this assootation approve so much of the act paused at the recent session of the Legislature, and now before the Governor for hin spproval, as provides. for a tan- nel underground ratiroad through Broadway, and, believing that that is tue only road thai can be bullt under the city, we Feapectfully request the Governor to approve the same.

Decision of the American Naval Court at Yoko- hama—The Whole Cause of tho Disaster Chargeable to the Guilty Careless- ness of Captain Eyre. WASHINGTON, May 2, 1870, The following 1s the opinion of the United States Naval Court, consisting of Captain Rome, Lieuten- ant Commander Mullin and Paymaster Lyons, con- vened at Yokohama to investigate the collision be+ tween the Bombay and Oneida, It was received by the Navy Department to-day and forwarded to evidence in the case being in the possession of the members, alter rasture and studious considera- sion, dnd as follows, to wit:-— ‘That on the 2ith day of January, 1870, at a quarter Mn the. United ‘Bates corvette, Oneida, ‘got from Yokohama harbor, and stood down the Bay of on her way to Hong K ud the way to the Uni About half-past five P.M. ahe passed to east ward Light Hhip, distance 320 fathoms, made sail, and under Jow steam shaped her course south by' east, one to clear Saratoga Spit and pass aronnd Kanon Saki Light. Thai she steamed this course, running at a speed of little fleas than seven knote per hour,until ahe arrived n the vicinity of Sarnot- ga Bplt, when thefolicerioiithe deck believed the vessel was Sagging to the westward from this course, and hauled her up one and three-quarter points to the east, bat only until the navigator could get on deck, who, after being informed of {k. Promptly ordero: the ship Again to be put on her course of south by eust one-quarter east, apeciaily stating that he could not go more to eastward by reason of danger of getting ashore on Saratoga Spit. ‘About this time the English Peninsular and Oriental steamn- sip Bombay, Captain Kyre, hove fn sight around Kanon Saki Point ahd to eastwird of i, distant from the Onelda about five or six miles and bearing ahead, thed rapipiv pasting on to the Onelda's sarboard Bow. Very soon, indeed, he Onelda’s lookout and navigator made out the maat- head ‘and starboard or green light of the Bombay and they saw the pass from eastward tot west- ward of Kanon Seki light, and ber course was narrowly observed by the officers on duty and by the lookout of the Oneida, and she was seen passing clear, giving » wide berth ; that after running some fifteen or twenty minutes, rapidly changing ber bearings more and more broad about four to five points or more on the starboard bow of the Oneida, and while the Onelda’s lights were brightly burning, the Bombay sud- denly ported her helm and came directly at the Oneida in the direction of her green light and struck her at starboard inizzen rigging at about an eight kuot speed, cutting away all her starboard quarter at an angle of forty-live degrees, and on a line from the main rigging to the wheel, and to the starbosrd of the combiogs of the cabin hate, thence clear to her udderheas down to the water's ed the Oneida had her whole whesl carried then rounded to Fort and stood in | toward shoal fn an east y north direction and sunk ty fathoms of Water in about twelve to fifteen minutes, after carrying down wil r some One hundred and tiftees of ber officers and men. Tt appears fully from the evidence that the Oneida at no time saw the red light, but constantly saw tie green light or the Bombay, and tuat her own lights were in full burning order, Italo appears that officers and crew acted with coolness and discipline, and at no time acted in doubt or heal- tation; bat that when Bombay Was about five points on the Oniedi ‘board how, or three oints forward of her starboard beam, the Bombay put her ein hard avort, id went directiy at the Oneida, when the Jatter vessel at once flung ber own helm hard wstarboard, nce and it was in that position andthe thip was rapidly payin) Of to port when the Bombay struck. “At this. time the Oneida headed as bigb as east by north, and the Bombay headed northeast by north to northeast.’ It ja also shown that after the collision the executive ollicer of the Oneida, Lieutenant Commander Stewart, hailed the Bombay several timer, caliing to her to lay by, as the Oneida was’ cut “down, and thin when the Bombay was within a few yarils of the Onelda’s stern; that this call was unavawered ‘nnd unheeded ; that then three or four big guns were fired from the Oneida us signals of dis- tress with a full service charge of six pounds of powder, and these signals were also unheeded. [t is also shown that at the moment of coilixion the Bombay stopped the engines for a very few moments, but at sho did not once Jose her headway, but after crushing furonyb the quarter of tue Quelda,rendinig a breach ao wide that persons in her cabin looked out {n.o the open. sea through @ space from fifteen to twenty feet or more, and yet ¢ Botubay kept on her way direct; that she passed out of t of the officers and men, who were halfling and Jooking er, in five to ten ininutes, and kohama barbor at a quarter to eigut P. M.of the same e The Bombay neither offered nor asked for nee, or communicated after the collision. The Court, therefore, totally exonerates and exculpates the Oueida and her officers from all and any blame for thia horrible disaster, and finds that they acted promptly $that the Oneida was skil: fall handied, and that the international rules of the road were carefully and tntelligently obeyed. ‘Tne Court at this point observes, however, with deep pain, that the Oneida bad lost her sig ‘by the collimon, that the dingey boat had been broken into some time before sailing, and that during a typhoon some months previous she had lost her two largest and moat serviceable boata, thus leaving her in an hour of enpreme distress with but ‘two bonte to save her people. Had the Oneida replaced ber and gone to sea with a full compiement of therm it is inoraily certain many more valuable lives would have been saved, The Bombay, on the other hand, acted elther grossly sgnor- ant or wilfully reckleas. After rounding KanomSakt Aght to the eartward of it, then passing it #0 as to ahow her mast- d and green light to the westward of li, as seen from the Oneida, she hnd no reason to wand #0 fur fo the eastward as the Oneids was shown to be; nor could she have passed to the eastward of the (neida’s position at the time of the collision at night, a® she seems to have endeavored to do without endangering her own safety by going ashore on Saratoga Spit; nor can the pica be made or sustained of a narrow channel way ; for at this place the shortest distance between two points of danger east nnd west js some thren to three and ahalf nautical tiles. Moreover, the lant on west aide 18 very ligh and steep, too, while on the ern side, where ihe Oneida was, there was a dangerow shallow, without a landmark at night to be een to guide. Hence the Bombay crossing so far over to the eastern shore with “the “green light of the “Oneida in fait view, as it must have been, is #0 extraordinary as to stagger ‘a common sense of exfety and duty, to say nothing of regtlations and seaman-ike knowledge. A line due sonth by east, quar- ter east, drawn through the Saratoga Spit Buoy, and auotber ata polat to westward of Kanon Sakttighy, tna direction north by west, half west, alter rounding the light, which {8 the pilot course, shows how impossible It was for. the Bomouy to have collided with the Oneida unless, [act 6 ne faa en oe latter’ green HAC ever witnesses e Sis ‘he canse of the col! sob, eens ‘altogether and entirely due to the Bombay, whose commanding olicer I to le be- yond excuse.

Shipping Notes. ‘The British brig Lydia H Cole, that arrived at this port 25th ult from St Jago, with portion of the crew seriously iil with yellow fever, and since detained at Quarantine for the pur- pose of fumigation, came up to the city yesterday to dis charge cargo. ‘The Hunter's Point Ferry Company have at last commenced & needed Improvement at James slip in tearing away the old bridge, preparatory to building a new one, Several stalwart mechanics were yesterday vigorously working in superin- tending the driving of piles for a new foundation, which they hope to have completed in a few days, Meanwhile their boats use one of the Bridge street ferry slips to transact business. Now that the first wedge has been driven, can’t the directors of this ferry build a new waiting house at James slip, affording decent accommodations for their patrons, and after that has been done construct two or three more com- fortable and safe boats? it would give passengors confidence and do away with the constant fear that possesses them that their lives are not safe in some of their old tubs that at present carry them up and down the river, Many of the piers on the North river presented a busy aspect yesterday, Those particularly where steamships en- gaged tu the southern trade were lying had hundreds of bales of cotton and thousands of barrels of flour piled in every con- celvable nook and corner ready to be transported to differ- ent places in the city. While the.unionding of these com- modities of itae!f would have given the stevedores plenty of busisess the freight ready to ve shipped henge to the re spective ports which there veasela viait added greatly to the pleasant animation and gave encouragement for the future. ‘The cosey steamboate, radiant in their drossea of new paint and cabin upholstery, plying from the city to the many suburban retreats on the Sound, left their piers on the East river yesterday afternoon comfortably laden with passengers in almoat every instance. As ® consequence, the “skippers’? ooked happy, forgetting the constitntional growl usually responsive to civil questions trom strangers, and many, indeed, took the old “buts” of cigars from their mouths when speaking to ladies, ‘This was pleasant to look upon, and it is to be hoped that they will be thus gentlemanly dis poned all summer. ‘All Custom House inspectors of this port are well aware that a “special agent” of the Treasury Department is now Investigating certain supposed informalities that exiat in the discharge of their respective duties, The point arrived at especially is that of rumored bribes given these gentlemen by steamship agente and merchants, While the inspectors do not find fault with the attempt to uncover any disrepute. ble act of their number, particularly that of receiving money from » forbidden source, but, on the contrary, rather like it, they are at a loss to reconcile the fact that on Saturday last, when they were paid their April salaries, the money was accompanied witn the “desire” of some parties that each should give over u certain percentage of it for electioneering purposes. This in the face of promised increase of pay, which is then just due, is rather tough and deserves more than the ordinary ventilation, Since last report there bave arrived from points on the Hudson nver the following barges and canal boats :—By tow- boat Belle—Barges Cromwell, Jos W Fuller, Coxsackie, Kate Everton, @ L Moshier, § Watson, Hottentot, J W Freeman, Robt Boyd, Ella, Gen Jackson, Milan; canal boats A H Van- derlin, Globe, WH McClure, Geo Rutger, Blue Bird, Ala- mucha, W T Seymour, Mechanic, Manhattan, (ico Day, 8 W ‘Thompson.

It is worthy of record that “Uncle David” has at last suc- ceeded tn sending down the dangerous flagstaff from the root of the Barge otfice. For the past four weeks it has been the cause of frightening many not over-courageous meu aud timnid ladies who regularly visit the docks on business, It is reported on the very best authority that # subscription is now being taken up to reward the “old man” for this meri- torious service.

A survey was held to-day and orders were given for the ship to be lightened sufticiently to get at the leak, which is aup- posed to be just above the copper, forward.
