EXTENSION OF CITY RAMwAY.-The Street Rail
way Company have gracefully acquiesced In the
decision of Council and renouncing East Bay have
commenced operations on Meeting street. At an
| early hour yesterday the workmen were on the
| ground, and under the supervision OF the g:ntle-
manly contractor, Mr.. OWENS the heavy stones
were speedily removed and an opening made fo1
the continuation of the track. This railroad mas
an advantage enjoyed by few, for all additions ano
improvements are effcted without delaying the
travel, and the junction Was formed yesterday with
the greatest ease the warkmen calculating the
time of the passage Of the cars with great exact
ness.
From the known character of both the contractor
and the company the public will not be kept In
suspense long, and in two weeks time the traVel
from the Battery to Line street will DO unnter-
rupted. The President Of the company is now at
the North, and we understand designs making ar
raneements for increased accommodations, antlcl-
Mating heavy travel this spring and summer. AS
the season advances the visits to Magnolia will be
resumed and excursions projected to gather jessa-
mines: in order to accommodate this class Of travel
it will be necessary either to extend the road to
Magnolia OF to establish line Of omnibuses, which
will communicate with the terminus. But in what
ever way the question is decided by the company
it will be acceptable to the public for few corpora
tions have such deserved popularity, although
these bodies are usually supposed to be destitute
Of souls.
