THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.
The report Of the Commissioners appointed to
| settle the boundary between this State and Con-
pecticut was sent in to the Senate this morning. IL
| is a long document not only detailing the action OF
the Commissioners but containing history OF the
controversies and negotiations respecting the line
since the year 1850. The last survey previous u
| the present was i'll 1871; the line, being marked AT
that time only by heaps of stone or blazed' trees
has become very uncertain. The surveys made last
| Summer by Mr.. C. W. Wcntz Of this city, under
| authority Of the Commissioners Of both States
showed that instead Of following II straight line as
was designed, the old surveyors made very
crooked boundary, subsequently adopting their work
| by written agreement. The Commissioners from
Connecticut now claim the right 10 strengthen TINS
| line, which would give their State considerable
| tract now belonging to NeW-YOTk including thrly-
| ING village. The New-York Commissioners contend
| that the old line must be adhered TO. This legal
question has prevented any settlement OF the hnc so
far A correspondence has passed between two of
the New-YOrk Commissioners, Messrs. Backus
| of Brooklyn, and Tarbell of Keescvile, and the
Connecticut Commissioners, on this subject with
out inducing the latter to consent TO any steps being
| taken toward decision Of this legal question.
The report is accompanied by copies Of several old
agreements and other curious documents which
bring TO light some interesting matters Of colonial
history.
| THE METROPOLITAN POLICE BILL
| Was ordered TO third reading in the Senate last
night, but will not be put on it's final passage before
Saturday or Monday unless il is taken up out OF It's
| regular order. The Senate has reduced the number
| of Commissioners from seven to five, exclusive OF
the Mayors of New-York and Brooklyn, who are
ex-OficiO members, and believe they have advanced
the pay from SIS to So per day for actual service.
Other amendments have been made, but none, as |
understand, affecting the principle of the bill. 1t s
| now said, by those who pretend to know aud ought
to be well advised ON the subject that both the
Charter and Police bills will pass the Assembly as
they are, or in other words, that the Assembly will
concur in the Senates amendments.
RELIEF OF BROADWAY.
The act 10 provide for the relief Of Broadway
which passed the Assembly the other day, is ex-
citing some interest in and out Of the Legislature
The demand for the relief Of Broadway seems 70 be
universal, and the question is whether il shall be
relieved by railroad on that great thoroughfare or
Off This scheme is understood 20 be a comprO-
mise between the friends and opponents of Broad
way Read. The petitions for il are very numerous
and respectable. The bill does not as stated in
The TRIBUNE Of this morning, propose TO run
Railroad up one of the streets one side of Broad
| way and down another. The line Of the road is Ia
