Amsng the numerous projects Of internal improve

r@uon OF the Legislature, there have been some

the same thing, tfor at this time OF aay. NAV re-

not large in number but tn re few az this cha
racter, and amongst the most eminent the Har-
lem extension, and the New York and Albany Rail
Road.
The bin which has passed the Legislature in aid
OF the New York and Harlem Rail Road, authorizes
the Company 10 extend their road through the eoun-
~ OF Westchester, 60 connect with the Albany road
al the north line of the county, about forty from
Harlem river. They are authorized 10 extend their
road tn Tappan Bay, opposite the depot Of the New
York and Erie Road and also with the New England
roads on the east side Of Westchestcr county.
Inc charter Of the Company is extended by this
bill thirty years beyond its original termination IL
has now nifty years TO run. The bill also increases
the capital one million of dollars. and extends the
time for completing the road Manhattan vile tive
years from the period Of its passage
Mr.. Brooks, the able and indefat,rable President
OF the Harlem road has been here and 20 his intel
hgent representations, added TO the intrinsic merit
OF the application, are the Company indebted for the
favorable action OF the Legislature. have gone
rather more into detail in regard 20 this matter than
Is customary with me, because I am persuaded that
the extension Of the Harlem, and the of
the New York and Albany Railroads OF vast con-
sequence, not only 70 the city of New York and the
counties through which they are TO pass but 10 the
country at large IL appears To that the import
ance OF communication, not liable to interruption
by the cold OF winter, between The great CONNIE rcia
mart of the State and its capitol is duly appre-
ciated The value of Rail Road between New
YORK and Albany, IN commercial point of view
can hardly be estimated.
One year, at farthest c ehteen months. from mi.
time, there will be continuous, hahn of rail
road communication between Albany and Lake Erie
by that time, the road to the Eastern metropolis
will be finished, and unless the citizens of New York
arouse themselves, and act prem pity and efficiently
they will wake up some fine morning, and fad loco
motives, with train OF cars long a. a short man.
memory running from Buffalo to Boston, carrying
Hour and every other product Of the grist West and
returning with every foreign article needed for the
consumption OF the people Let the business of the
West once get flowing in tins channel, and Satan
himself II he should make special effort against
the everlasting Yankee nation would not be able 10
divert it from Thorn. The Eastern Rail Road will be
in operation winter and summer, and the cars will
be laundering along the line while the ma visaton of
the Hudson is blocked by ice.
But independent of the immense commercial in
terest which your city has at stake in the matter
the completion of the Harlem and Albany road will
transport to the doors of your people, the agrcultu
raj products OF four of richest and most fertile
counties, besides vast quantities from Come
and Massachusetts. Every article required for do
nestle consumption among yOu will be furnished at
price greatly reduced In fact am satisfied that
the completion of those two roads, while il adds 10
the volue OF agricultural products of every de-
scripton by diminishing the of trans ortation
will do more towards cheapening provisions and
the means OF living generally, than any other SINH
lar work in the state.
As to the value of the stock, that is altogether a
minor consideration, and for which care inst
nothing at all but careful survey OF the map and
knowledge OF the country whose treasures must
be concentrated IN, and be emptied through this
great channel, leads me to the conclusion thar the
Harlem road must eventually yield an enormous re-
venue.

OF the immense advantages that must result from
