TIE STATEN ISLAND FERRY-Mr. Sluyter, from
the Comm ittee on Commerce and Navigation, reports
in favor Of the Staten Island Railroad Ferry bill. The
Con ee offer the following reasons for urging speedy
passage of the bill:
Staten IsIsnd can only be regarded az one Of the
suburbs Of New Yorka sort of outer wsrd, a. were,
which, like Brooklyn, jersey City, Hoboken, &o, Is
inhabited by merchants and others doing business in
Ne~.York, who peed and are Justly entitled to every
facility of transit between the two places. The rapid
y increasing trade and travel will be immeasurao,y
enhanced by the building of the Staten Island railroad
and the present. ferry Accommodations will then De
wholly inadequate to the wants of the public The
completion OF this road will shorten the time OF commu-
ncaion between Nes-York and Philadelphia by
LesIy an hour aid will develOpe the resources of the
interior of the land TO such an extent that increased
ferry facilities w inevitably be required for the large
population that will be speedily located along the lne
Of ~ road.
Public utility and necessity call for the granting OF
tire privileges ccntsined in the BILL and the Committee
are Convinced that these privileges are only calculated
to confer great and lasting benefit upon the travelling
public without iurioufly affecting the rights oil any
indv dual corporation. AT present. there Is but
cir ge company running ferry boats between Staten
islard and New-York, and the Committee IRE sasfed
from The testimony OF respectable and Influential clti
zets who have appeared before them, that the
language Of the rial relating 10 this bill expresses
the views Of very large majority OF The lnhaoitants OF
the issnd These nemorialss, Messrs. Edward Bank
&c Lloyd Aspingal William Il. Townsend, William
Emerson Levi Cook, y. Dane Enugwood John a Y;
Gray, W. G Pickergill Haynes Lord, Andrew Hood
and many other sines of equal character and Influence
believing az they lin the language OF the memorial
that the convenience, security, happiness ana oest
"rer.sts of the commercial and ol o:her classes OF
"ctizens impera,ively demand the Immediate estao'
"lshnent of an additional and direct ferry between
the eassrly side OF Staten Isaua and the souths'y
point Of New-York City, with commodlous, last ana
staunch boats well adepte3 70 overcome every I'M
"pedimert of ice &C., ss well IS 70 save time IN tran
"st earnestly pray for the passage of the bill"
Parties have appeared before the Committee repre-
seniiDg the interests of the present Ferry Company
but they have altogether failed to show any good
cause sgainst the passage OF the bill. Ihe C1mmee
do OF oaareo that this Ferry Company 20, but hey
csnbot esis tthe conviction ibst having ell the power
It may become an 'dious monopoly, which Is wholly
OBJ TO the genius snd spin. Of our iositutons
The Committee of opinion that the prayer Of the
peftOLeS should De gr6Dfel, bDu tJe au-
duced, recommend the paseage Of the bill.
The report is signed by l. Wskon1D, James D.
