The NEW BRIDGE OVER HARLEM RWER.-Ihe
Commissioners appointed by the Legislature of 1888,
for the construction Of free bridge over the Har-
lem River have advertised Tor proposals Offering to
contract for she various parts in accordance with the
object of their commission, and the opening have
taken place their last meeting, but postponed in
consequence Of the absence of several members. The
Commissioners four in number and have spent the
time since theirappointment in removing the extensive
obstruction known as hcCOmb's Dam, deepening the
channel buying up water rights held by certain par
ties, and purchasing the Land on either side of the
river necessary for roadways to the bridge. The
amount hitherto appropriated viz, $4,000, was neIry
ali expended in this way. An additional $4,000 has
been appropriated 10y the late Legislature, and the
building Of the bridge win now be expeditously pro-
eeeded with, the successful contractor shall
have been decided upon, and his operations can be go
under way. One-thrd Of the total appropriation,
which is 100000, is to be assessed on Westeheste'
County, and the remainder ON New-YOrk.
The contract for building the bridge will be
awarded at the next meeting Of the Commissioners,
which will be in 4 day or two.

A CONTEMPLATED Gas COMPANY SwIsDiE.-A few
days since, Messrs Robertson, Seibert d Shearnan,
photographers at No. SO Fulton street, received
der TO execute number Of blank certificates Of stock
for the New-York Gas Company The order came
FROM a man who gave his name as J. l.. Davis, and
raid he was stopping at the Bulls Head Hotel in
Fourth avenue. He referred TO well-kn0wn and
highly respectable merchant in Warren street, whom
he represented as being the Treasurer of the Company
The certificates were duly executed by Messrs. Rob
ertson & Co.. representing that the New-York Gas
Company had capital of 100000 the certificates be-
ing for 500 shares Davis To call for the ccrti
Gates on Thursday at which time they were ready for
delivery The photographer concludedto make certain
that the affair was al correct and called upon the re-
puted treasurer, when they were informed that he
knew nothing OF Iir. Davis any such Gas Com
pany There is q New-York Gas Light Company,
and Mr. Daviss certificates evidently intended to
represent that Company at the expense OF a swindled
public The photographers reported the affair to Capt
Walling of the Detective Police, and thus the con-
teH,plated swndle II made public before any of the
bogus certificates put into the market. Ii was the
same firm of photographers who rendered valuable as
sis,ance in the detection Of Beach the forgcr Of the
Bonner check some time since.

Canada and (ubH.

Resolutions i'll regard to the peaceable ac /.
QUESTION of Cuba, and of Canada and the
British Provinces, are before the different COM
mittees of the House of Representatives.
Such resolutions as these may furnish them
food for debate but they are not likely to pro.
duce any practical results. There are various
objections to them, either of which is fatal In
the first place, the United States is not in a
project Of annexing other countries. We are
at our wits end to hold together the compo.
nent parts of our own Republic, and the
causes which produce this weakness must op-
crate an effectual bar to all further annexa-
ton. The Nsrth will never consent to the an.
nexation Of slavehoidtng Cuba, the South will
never consent to the annexation OF abolition
Canada, and all honest men in the country
will refuse to have anything to do with either
of them except with the free consent of their
lawful proprietors. That consent is not likely
to be given in our day and generation-
The idea of their "peaceable =" acquisition is
the most complete moonshine. Cuba is the
richest Jewel of the Spanish crown, and she is
not going to part with it for anything we can
offer. All Ourattempts TO intimidate or caiole
her OUT of it have proved perfectly unayail-
ing, and will be SO for long time TO come If
we cannot take it from her peaceably, still less
can we do SO forcibly The great European
Powers are allied with Spain to prevent this
spoliation of her property by the United
States, and those who think we could take
Cuba from under the guns of such an alliance
are only fit for the mad. house. In such
war, we would be extremely lucky if we were
not taken ourselves Nor do we see why the
South should favor a policy which must bring
us in collision with the only European gov
eminent which is interested in the preserva-
ton Of slave institutions in this hemis phere,
especially when, if successful, the commercial
benefits Of the acquisition would all enure to
the North, and Cuba, even if permitted to
come Ia with slavery, would bring no such
accession OF slave States as would restore the
equilibrium in Congress As to the British
Provinces, in is hardly worth while to discuss
their acquisition, until JOHN BILL is willing
70 give them up. Unless he is Willing w. can
never get them, and, IL he ever does consent :,
Will De because they are not worth HAVING
On the whole, 1t would be wisdom in ,h.
statesmen Of the United States ~ lar, 80
energies to the preservation Of what wa h....
instead OF the acquisition Of more. They ,,,,,,
find Ia that employment enough to task D.,
their uttermost the most shining abilities in
the land. The combined energies of WxBsrrn.
CLAY, CALHOUN, HAMILTON, and JEFFERSON.
would not be too much for such an object,
Our present weakness has arisen from the
greediness for more territory. We shall not
gain strength by stimulating that dangerous
appetite
