ALDERMASIC COMMITTEE on RAILROADS

ALDERMANIC COMMITTEE on RAILROADS
Aldermen Boole, Owens and Reed Of the Con nttes
on Railroads of the Board of Aldermen, yesterday
afternoon paid visit of inspection TO the tunnel Of
the Harlem Railroad, extending from Thirty fourth 10
Fory.tiIst streets, with view Of determining the
rractibty or lmpractibity of running the city cars
to Forty second street. Toe Committee were accom-
panied by the President, Superintendent and several
of the Directors Of the Harlem Ralrosd. Also,
number of property owners, who had petitioned the
Common Council TO compel the Harlem Railroad 20.
to run their city cars TO Forty second street.
On entering the tunnel at the lower terminus the
Precedent OF the road called the attention Of the Com
mtte first TO the fact that outside of the tracks there
was BOT sufficient space for passen yers TO stand or pass
and even were such the passenger would ever
think of entering so dark, dismal and damp hole 70
get into car; therefore, instead OF sfordng ACCOM-
modstion to tie public the would pass through
the entire length of the tunnel without taking 10 or
setting down single passenger. While the darkness
which prevailed in the tunnel rendered It unsafe bf
the employment of so large q number of horses -
would be necessary for drawing the train and city
cars had been argued by the residents Of the Bos
cry that train cars and city cars could no. with public
safety be employed in that wide thoroughfare IN the
transportation Of passengers. He would, then, ak,
how could the same traffic be carried on 10 the tunnel
without dapgerl
On reaching the upper terminus, Mr.. Campbell
stated that contracts had been made for the compile
ton Of the parapet walls, which would be surmounted
with handsome iron ratings, and that the work would
be CONNIE need on Mendsy next. On returning over
the tunnel he stated to the Committee that the Cor
pary proposed TO cover the six large ventstors With
iron grating, which would allow the escape o. smoke
from the locomotive. and the twelve smaller ventls-
tors could be closed, or rather covered with ysat
light covers so that the proposed park weud no. DO
maIred in appearance. Ore of the property owners
remarked that the Company ought to be compelled TO
erect chimpeys to carry of the smoke from the tun.
pel'which Mr. Campbell, in behslf Of the RailrosS
Company, consented - do should that meet the vleu
Of the Committee aud property owners.
With regard ~ the smoke complained o. the Pres.
dent observed that coal will be shortly used los cad Of
wood, for fuel for the locomotives when the sanoy-
arce from smoke will no longer be felt; and while to
Committee were there, 9 coal-burning locomotive
passed through the tunnel, which fully demon strsed
this fact.
After some further discussion the Committee agreed
to meet again on Saturday afternoon next 10 maze
their final report on the subject.

Tie reports Of the Inspectors of Factories, ex-
tending only to the end of October 1857, are de-
p,iyed Of their usual interest because, as the
inspectors unanimously state, the closing of mile,
the working Of short time, the numerous bankrupt
ces among mill.owners, and the general depression
of trade, which set in at the very time when they
drew up their returns, prevented them from col
lectDg that reliable information which on former
occasions allowed them to prepare stateme ~ Of

TIE increase in the British exports to India may
for some items, wCOens for instance, be accounted
for by the war demand. Generally however, the
ationale of that ascending movement is not TO be
pcsght in that direction. The case is simply this,
n at the insurrecton for some months had shut up
the Indian market altogether, thus causing the
commodities floating in the market to be absorbed
and creating vacuum now again filled up. WITH
respect to Australia, the returns show also consd-
cradle increase in some articles of British export,
but the letters received from Sidney and Mel
bourne leave no doubt as to the merely speculative
character of those shipments which, instead OF
selling at their declared value will have TO be dis
posed of at heavy discount.
The comparative statement Of PauPers IN En-
Gland and Wales, who received official relief
in the fifth week of January, 1857 and 1853,
shows their number, from 920,6o8, to which
II amounted in the former period, to have in-
creased to 976,773 in the latter one, thus ex-
hibiting an aggregate increase of Go per cent.
For the North Midland, Northwestern and York
divisions, however, that u.s. for the industrial dis
ticts, the increase in the percentage OF paupers
rose respectively by 20.52, 44.o7, and %. l3 per
cent Besides, it must be kept in view that very
considerable portion Of the working classes stub
borDly prefer starvation to enrolment 10 the work
houses. The following extract from the Official
returns is curious, because il proves how small
percentage even in England the strictly msnutac-
turing population bears TO the aggregate people;

puE17 oS 1HE TAPS IN DCBueuE.-The monotony
of life which hes 20 long existed in our city i likely
soon 10 be invaded by events Of the most artng and
bloody interest One if not two dues, between gen.
tlemen high IN Office and occupying respectable posi-
tions in society, are already upon the taps and cir
cumstances have occurred which render very PROB
able that third couple will soon seek the arbltrs-
ment of the field of honor. The first and most mml-
nent Of there approaching contests Is between Fed
eral Administration offceholder and editor and dis.
tinguished eH sficehoder and exedltor, formerly of
thi: city, lately OF Fort Dodge, and, still more recent
y again resident of Dubuque. The quarrel be-
tween these gentlemen has for some time psst been
carried in the newspapers, but it has now reached
point where it may be nothing but pistols and coffee
can satisfy the requirements OF the code OF honor.
Excitement upon tae subject runs high and bes upon
the probable result are freely offered the odds being
largely in favor of the ex.edtor and otceheder. The
second case is growing out OF the first, and has
Rot yet advanced 20 such stae as to warrant any
remarks upon the probable Issue thereof. Thus far
IN the newspaper controversy which usually preeedes
dues the oceholder and editor has got the worst Of
H. il this case as well IN the other. The third case
s one in which the result s yet in doubt but hat it
will end in blood scarcely be questioned particu
lsrly VIXEN the chivsrc character OF the party at
tackled is remembered. Sincerely, however, for the
honor Of our city and of the men concerned we hope
peace may be restored among these parties without
resort to murderous weapons. Dubuque Times
