The principal works on Manhattan island are rep
resented in the above cut. The line Of the Aque-
duct marked y. y. y. y. represents the work from
the north side Of Manhatanvlle TO the end Of Glen
dcnning Valley, in s5th street, being only one
ton above the receiving reservoir. The parts A
b. G ID. r. represent various sections Of the wsrk
along the line, which we have described before.
The whole Of the above Is tunnels, however, can
be completed, with the exception Of the two on
Manhattan Island, one at the Jumel estate, Of 300
feet, and the other at Asylum Ridge, of 100 feet or
les. than 1000 feet Of heavy rock tunnellng this
island; and Of this 800 feet can be completed this
season. Early, therefore, in the year lSil the en-
tire line Of the aqueduct from the Croton reservoir
to Harlem River may be finished, ready TO receive
the water, IL the commissioners do their duty and
speedily adjust the present difficulties, which they
are trying TO do by tour along the whole line.
The only point, and the most important point that
remains for the consideration Of the people Of this
city, IL the progress of the work in the county Of
New York. The work on this island includes Sc
veral heavy and important structures, which will
require more time for completion than the work in
westchester County. The principal of these are,
CIendcnning Bridge, receiving reservoir and distri-
Lutins reservoir There other works Of consi
dersble magnitude on the island, but they may be
easily completed by the time required Tor those
above mentioned. Up to the present time, the pro-
grcss on CIendenning Bridge and the two reservoirs,
has mostly been in preparing foundations and the
incipient arrangements required for their prosecn-
ton They are now advanced to a condition that
will admit very energetic prosecution the ensuing
season. II is believed they may all be completed
early in the spring Of 1872. To accomplish this,

For the ensuing year, il has been estimated that it
will be necessary to raise Sl50o,OOO, but our own
opinion is that 100000 will be necessary.
Come we nov, then, to the immediate subject mat
ter of the recent troubles There have been at
tain times engaged the work, about io0o laborers
and that number will be required for the present
season. During the past winter, there have been
only 1900 men at work, at six shillings per day
The contracts given out at high prices and The
men all used to receive dollar per day. The efforts
ola clique in this city injured the credit ofthe cor
poraton and the bonds fell to 90 So and We believe
once TO s6l-2. The contractors were compelled to
raise money on the bends, TO meet present emergcn-
cies. and then reduced the mems wages. Now that
the bonds are at par, and at slight premium,
they ought to raise the wages to 81, rather than
have the progress of the work stopped. They make
large sums and so do all the officers; but the follow
ing table will show what all actually do receive:
During The winter contractors have had to raise
ZOO ~sFs Is. at a H. per fe oc iy viii
e raise for 1000 ws. Ssn
oss % IN sisicoc or a.2 each
mb,isS 20 men receive ia the time 1000 each
And putting the number Of men TO be employed du-
ring the whole of this summer at the highest asgre-
gate viz 1900 the difference in the price oil wages
will emily amount to about $4,000 for the entire
season And is il worth while that the works shall
be stopped, and perhaps partially destroyed, for
the sake Of such sum- Certainly not. And we
sincerely trust that we shall hear Of this sad diff
Guilty being efecually adjusted before the close OF
the week, and that every man has returned to his
work After the work is completed down to the
bridge we can easily quell all riotins this island
TuE CRoroS WORKS RioT.--There was no
noise no disturbance, no riot on the Croton Water
Works Yesterday. All was still and quiet from one
end TO the other The laborers still ''stand out,
and saw they will work for less than dollar 4
dav so long ms board and rents continue as high
they now are. Very few lrshmen to be seen, and
those who are out are in small peaceable gangs,
quietly smoking their pipes.
Mayor varian rode along the line yesterday morn
ing. as FAR as Manhattanville, conversed with the
strikers, said they they were clever fellows, and
told them that six shllings was too little, and that
they ought to have dollar.
The Irishmcn say, that the contractor who spread
the report that they were demoishing the works,
and killing each other, lost S95 by so doing. His
name they said was Blaid. He sent in TO the May
or by express on Monday, that they were fighting,
and the horse rode, died after. He cost ninety
Eve dollars. "a judgment from Heaven, by st. Pat
rick" said the Irishmsn.

EXHIBITION or rHr Ac AprMy.--Thc annual ex
hibition Of the National Academy Of Design, will
be ready to be opened in week or ten days. Al
ready over one hundred original paintings have been
sent inand IL is calculated that about three hundred
original paintings will form the catalogue ofthe pre-
sent year Many Of these works are ordinary, but
there is considerable proportion Of real and un-
questionable merit. As soon the Academy opens
we shall begin pretty keen investigation Of their
merits. These criticisms do much good-they re-
press preenson and encourage real merit and genius
Last year the exhibition was well attended. We
have no doubt IL will be much better this year. The
taste for good paintings is increasing rapidly in the
country.

it is recently calculated, upon moderate computa-
ton, that for 1910, 1871 and 1872 about 81 900

2,0O0000.
