vorRble, and large feet Of square rugged vessels,
Hchooners and sloops, passed down the bay, and

ANo1HrR DELAY.-The investigation OF the
charges against Cryder and Mckay was to be
continued yesterday, according to the last al,
iournment but it was not One OF the counse
was absent, and to accommodate him the case
was again postponed. 1t is thought that if moth
ing happens it will be finished by the fourth Of
July" though we should be as puzzled to name
any particular anniversary Of our natal day as
was Mr.. Webster when he was asked I" what
fourth of July he alluded to.
THE FOURTH AvENUE.-The Harlem Railroad
Company having been required by the City au'
thorities to arch their track between Thirty
fourth and Thirty.eishth SITS, the owners ofprop
erty on the Fourth.svenue have petitioned the
Common Council to be allowed the privilege Of
fencing in twenty feet on each SIDE as court
yards. We presume at the time the Fourth aV'
was opened these owners received from the City
and the Railroad the full value Of their land ap-
prOpristed for the street, and II so we decidedly
object to the granting OF the privilege asked Our
avenues are not too wide now, and if the owners
Of property want courtyard in front Of their
dwellings, let them build their houses back on
their own lots.
