CITY RAILROADS.

We have for some days endeavored, without
success, to End room for q letter from Albany,
setting forth and upholding at length the views Of
the advocates Of LIBERAL concessions to Companies
of the privilege of laying Railroads through certain
streets and avenues Of our City. We give Instead
this morriog the briefer Report Of Mr.. Reilly Of
our City to the Assembly arguing the same side Of
the question. As We h,ye published very much
on the other side, and nothing till now on this, We
commend this Report to careful cons der,toa.
In 90 far as it affrms the immense superiority
of arilcars to 0mnibuses for the conveyance Of
passengers through cities like ours, aud predicts
the general replacement of the latter by the former
we know no intelligent persons who dissent from
the p' sitions of this Report R,itracks in most
of the great thoroushfares of our City are at once
necessary and inevitable; more of them may or
msy not be authorized this year; ultimately, they
cannot fail TO be. The onl5 question is-dow shs1
the franchises be granted or controlled Shau the
right to construct such Railroads or any Of them,
be conceded, as hitherto, to certain Individuals
or shall it be sold out to the highest bdder' This
question is briefly discussed in the Report before
us, on the slu6 OF COuCcseltu WuuOul pJuus, out
with no apparent effort to make the most Of the
case. We demur to the assumption that c)mpet-
ton between rival Railroads. will necessarily reduce
the rate of fare to three cents. 1t may do So but
We cannot deem this result inevitable. But judS
ing from indications which we note on every side,
We infer that the business Of laying raitrscks ia
cites is to be run into the ground that Of
Railroads, generally hs, already BEEN so that large
portion of their projectors aud stockholders wiz
realize bankruptcy where they sanguiney expected
wealth II msy be, then, that the City will secure
the largest measure of good from pretty free dis
pepsatOn of Railroads through its streets, enabling
each resident for few cents to ride practically
from his own door to any part or boundary Of tho
City, preventing the rapid destruction Of the pave
ments by the ceaseess grinding of Omnibus
wheels, and filing the City Treasury with tho
regular tax of $25 on each car run on any City
Railroad. We ssy this may be the best solution
of the problem; but let not the Legislature %
pronounce it without the concurrence of majority
of the City Delegation. Better let the Railroads
wait year or two than have i. said with trsth
that they were imposed upon us by "Black Rspub-
licsn predomiusnce, in opposition to the City's
interests and wishes as expressed through her
chosen representatives. And as on this subject 50
Oh others.

EVPANSlON.

We are accustomed to boast q good deal Of tho
physical extent Of our country, though 8 certain
number of our orators and editors seem to think
that we are by no means large enoughyet, and hst
IS Tammany Hall resolved the other night, it wild
never DO to stop TIL the whole bOundess contseat
is ours. Yet, however it may crafty feeling Of
ignorant pride, this vast expansion Of territorial
extent has a number Of serious inconyeuiesces.
Thus, our Post.Off service actually costs moro
than that Of Great Britain, even including the coss
Of ocean routes, of which Great Britain maintains
90 many more than we do, and though the number
of letters carried il vastly less. SO, our troops
Utah aie far more inaccessible aud il costs moro
money per man to send and maintain them there,
than it cost Great Britain during the Late war, 70
send men TO tbs Crimes and support them tAsrs'
or than it doe, now TO send men TO India. Tho
money which we paid TO Mexico for the rcceas
scquitions from her territory, is but Q very
trflng part Of the cost which they stand u n.
II may, indeed, well be doubted whesaes
the possession OF this territory does not
every year cost Us moro than ~o
originally paid for it. Nor is taero
any reasonable hope OF ultimately rennos"
ing these heavy and increasing expenses Id"
greater part of this territorty--and tho ssmo
the case with the northern part Of what san TO"
mains to Mexico, from which the President lA'SV
recommended that We should take another shco-
il utterly and hopeles,ly sterile and barren, ass
never can contribute much, if anything, to"sfs
the cost of maintaining possession OF 1t. Tho
great, we may say the only real reason Why Great
Britain has not consolidated the whole Of india m
der her direct Authority is, that half or moro o.
the entire extent Of that peninsula is too poor 10
pay the expenses of governing it and keeping It n
order. Yet al this Territory has popuIss'sa
which, compared with anything ever to DO ex-
peetsd Of our great interior table land maj DO ses
down as dense, while the expenses Of goSernmees
in India, compared with what il costs IN tos

Fearful Voyage of an Excursion Party.
Disaster on Lake Huron.


From the Toronto (Canada) Leader, July T.
% Friday last, party of ladies and gentlemen,
the large majority Of them residents Of Toronto left
this city or projected excursion TO the Sault Ste.
Marie 1he intentions Of thoee comprising the COM
rany was 10 take the steamer "Poughboy" from
ColpgWOod and pToc ed thence 10 their destina
tOn, calling at any places Of interest 90 their route
But shortly before the arrival Of the vessel at Lone
ly Island, in Georgian Bay, part of he mechi-
merry (the cross heads) snapped in half, and il be-
came absoluiely necessary, in consequence, for the
SAFETY Of the ship 10 shut of the steam. The
"P!oughboy" being, like most or all Of the steam
ers On Lake Huron, unproTided with masts, she was
thus necessarily left TO the mercy Of the winds aud
waves, which drifted her at their pleasure. The
danger Of such position being apparent, some Of
the crew volunteered to proceed in open boat to
Owen Sound, distance Of some seventy Eve miles,
10 secure the aid Of the steamer canadian" to tow
thR'Ploughboy" into anchorage.
Bot long before thessssistaHce thus sent for could
be obtained the "Plougbboy' had been slowly but
inevitably and hepessly drifting to that dangerous
portion Of the coast lying west Of Chobot Point,
and, in spite Of every precauiOD, little before the
dawn Of Sunday morning found the unfortunate
vessel within fifty yards of preCpiOus rock-oound
shere with heavy swell of the sea setting toward
it, and gale blowing her directly the breakers
Immediate death stared all the passengers in the
face il being too evident that if the vessel struck
seemed inevitable, In q few minutes not soul
would be left to tell the tale. Husbands and wives
brothers and sisers and al friends therefore, took
a last farewell, commended themselves to Provi-
dence, and prepared to meet their doom, when they
miraculously saved when in the jaws of death.
At distance Of only forty-iEe yards from land on
lee shore, and in one hundred and eighty feet of
water, the anchors which had been dragging for
some twelve miles, in the simple hope Of postponing
the fate Of the ship till Daylight caught bottom and
held fast the vessel at that moment beyond all pos
sible help from human agency. She remained in
that position from half past two O'Clock on Sunday
morning until about the succeeding midnight, when
the steomer Canadian, from Owen Sound, which had
been sent to the rescue, took her in tow and landed
all her passengers in safety at Collingwood at half
past one o'clock yesterday. The excursion then
broken up, and the party returned at once to To-
Tonto.
