We have heretofore had great deal to say in relation
the New York, Harlem and Albany Railroad, and have
eudeavored to open the eyes Of capitalists to the i'm
porance of rapid completion Of this valuable line We
glad to that the public mind is beginning to be
agtared this SUBJECT and that the people of other
cities have aroused themselves and disposed to put
their shoulders to the wheel and push forward the thing
to completion An Albany paper, in speaking of this
road remarks that there evident determination

line between New York and Albany, in the counties Of
Columbia, Putnam, and Westchester, to connect the
island of Manhattan by Of railroad, with this city
and the West The Hudson River Railroad not having
met with that anticipated, the project is about
to be aba ndoned hear and of the only road
to be depended on, is the Harlem road. In less than
thirty days, fifty two miles of the Harlem road will be
completed and in running condition. In six months
MORE is supposed will be connected with the Alba

that they will succeed
"As we remarked BEFORE the road will be completed to
Dover, the centre of Duchess county, before many

We are not of railroad in the country that has

The snallness of the vote cast both for and
against it, shows that the greater part OF our citi-
zens overlooked it entirely, probably thinking that
at twelve shllings per day for legislators, and no
roast beef, any thing they put forth would not be
worth attention.
We regret its rejection on many accounts. but
particularly because it contained a provision that
we successfully battled for, which was, that the
Common Council should not have the power Of
renting slips and ferry privileges privately, as
heretofore, but should put them up at public auc-
ton, and lease to the highest bidder. We regret
its rejection, also, because the expense of getting
up amounted to some $4,000, which is dead
loss to the city.
