JERSEY CRY FKRRY.--We believe the Common
Council will assemble again next Tuesday eve
ming. We hope that Assistant Alderman Smith
will not forget TO urge upon the Common Council
the Improperly of renewing the lease to the Jer-
sey City Company, except on such conditions as
will be satisfactory the public BY the old lease,
his Company was bound to boat every ten
minutes. Instead OF, however, following their
agreement, they run but one boat every quarter of
an hour during the day-every half hour during the
evening, and none from twelve o'clock at night
Qauery from A. M antil morning, aud thena
boat every half hour.
This Jerry is looked upon as a monopoly and
they think from their wealth, that they are be-
yond the reach OF public opinion.
The rent which they have heretofore paid for
the exclusive use of the slip foot of Courtlandt
street, is entirely too small, and ought to be IN
creased to the same amount that is paid by the
Fulton Ferry Company They abundantly
able to pay it, for they to own all the wa
ter rights adjacent to Jersey City, and therefore
pay no that side of the river. At all events,
the people must be better accommodated than
heretofore.
The State of New Jersey and the city Of Phila-
delphia, to great extent, are tributary to this
company, and swell its receipts much that not
share of the stock is in the market.
/ The OCEAN RAcE.-The great, the stupendous
race over the Atlantic course, always heavy, be-
cause very wet between the Cambria and Great
| Britain, has resulted in the defeat OF the latter.
The time and speed can be summed up in the
following way
GsEAr BaIrAr-Passage Is days hours detention,
shours Difference in distance so hours Zine, com
pared with Cambria's. II days and hours
10 days, shours.
This gives a difference of twenty four hours in
favor of the Cambria. But it is our honest opin-
ION that the Great Britain is the fastest steamer.
! Take the two vessels, trim them alike, have their
machinery in perfect order, and start them to.
gether from the same pier, and we believe that
the Cambria would be beaten.
But why race The Cambria, the Great Bri-
tain, the Atlantic, the Oregon, are certainly fast
enough for all useful purposes. The spirit of the
age, however, urges them on.
