The necessity for some safe, expeditions and
reliable conveyance across the East river, for
the immense traffic between New York and
Brooklyn, was SO forcibly brought before the
Legislature last winter that acts were passed
incorporating three companies for the purpose
Of bridging the river ut three different points.
The inconvenience and uncertainty Of the East
river ferryboats were fully shown last winter,
whom the river became blocked with Ice, and
in fog collisions we're Inevitable. Tho citi-
zens Of New York and Brooklyn may con-
graduate themselves on having the building Of
these bridges In the hands Of private con-
tractors, VINO are obliged to have them CON-
pleted In three years and who have no appro-
priation like that which generally accompa-
mics Corporation jobs All the great bridges
in this counfy-ths Niagara and the two
bridgesAcross the Ohio river ct Cincinn att and
Louisville, Is well - .the contemplated one
across the Mississippi at st. Louis-have been
either built or commenced by private corpora
TONS What contrast ID presented between
the despatch and completeness in the execu-
ton Of these great works and the endless Cor
poration jobs in this city, 50 forcibly exempli-
fed in Harlem Bridge and in the Court House
In the one case the interests Of the contractors
were identified with the speedy completion Of
their work, and In the other millions Of dollars
have been swallowed up and are still being
squandered by hungry commissions composed OF
corrupt oficisis. AT every session Of the Legis-
lature large appropriations have been asked
and given for Harlem Bridge and the Court
House, until the original estimates would
hardly pay the interest on the total sum cx-
pended. In bridges we have . sufficient ex-
ample Of what our public officials can do In
that line in the misshspen nondescript on Broad
way. A half dozen elegant and convenient
bridges could be thrown across this thorough
fare for the money which the unsightly I,oew
affair cost The people Of both cities on the East
river may, therefore, hope that the three bridge
corporations viii do their work with despatch
and satisfaction, as the terms Of their charters
leave them no alternative. They should, how
ever, lose no time in pushing the work forward
and uniting, by its completion, the people Of
New York and Brooklyn in the closest bonds
Of union. Their interests are identical with
those Of the citizens Of both cities In the early
completion or the work

The Rebellion In China.

Our cable dispatches state that the rebels
are gaining ground in China and are now
seriously threatening Pekin. This Chinese
rebellion has seen many phases Of defeat and
success since it was first opened, in 1850. Is
first great leader held his ground for few years
and then gave place to schoolmaster, who
proclaimed himself the second Son of God. His
rare talents enabled him to assume and retain
command Of the insurg nts From the f.ct
that nearly all the adventurous foreigners,
including missionaries, have joined the rebel
standard, it is some indication that that is tic
party OF progress, although it has not yet been
fully determined which side is the most inclined
to shake off the exclusiveness which has here
tofore shut out tie Chinese from the world.
It was supposed that in 1857 the present
government had completely overcome the
rebellion; but it again m .de serious front.
The treaty which celel the Chinese territory
on the left bank of the Amoor to Russia, il
was rumored, bound the Ru ;sians TO assist
China in overcoming the rebels; but up 10
this time no aid has been rendered by Russian
troops.
We have great interest in the internal con-
dltion o. the Chinese empire, for we are rapidly
increasing our trade with that country. The
shipments from Sln Francisco to the eastern
coast Of Asia indicate how important il is that
we should urge the opening Of the Flowery
Land TO American enterprise. If the retels
capture Pekin new government may decree q
new policy, and an empire whoss population
numbers one half Of the inhabitants of The
world may afford market for an immense
increase in the interchange Of products.

"Culpable negligence or wiliul design !"
these are the two horns Of the dilemma with
one or the other OF which the Coroncr's jury

fix the officers OF the c. Vanderbilt as the
causes Of the collision between that boat and
the Dean Richmond some time since. The
verdict Is strong enough, II II means anything

killed by that accident came TO their untimely

The Situation In Italy.

by cable despatch which we print in this
days HERALD we are made aware that the
Italian question is approaching solution, al
though not precisely OF the kind which for some
days past we had been led to expect. "The
situation" we are told, "is grave" The be-
lief is general that the whole nation will back
up the Garibaldi movement to restore Rome to
Italy. Victor Emanuel, il was expected, would
soon pass the Roman frontier and proclaim
Rome part of the Italian kingdom. If the
spirit Of this despatch is confirmed by subse-
qupnt news, the difficulty will be solved In the
only way which can be considered satisfactory
and final
Such was the solution which we originally
expected. The capture Of Garibaldi, how
ever, disturbed our opinion scarcely less than
il disconnected the plans of the party Of action.
An insurrectionary band without leader, all
history had told us, can scarcely fail to become
the prey Of weakness and disorder or the
party OF action Garlbaldi was the recognized
chief, the very soul and centre Of its life and
hopes. Without Garibaldi, we had yet to learn
that that party could do anything The int,lii-
gsnce which we have received Of the doings Of
the party since the Generals capture has not
been encouraging. This last despatch con-
vinces us that, though suffering from the want
OF leader, they have neither abandoned their
purpose nor been completely disorganized. On
the contrary, we now learn that they are full
Of life and hope and on the eve Of victory.
II is exceedingly difficult, If not i'm
possible, to look nj this Italian move
ment without seeing the figure Of Louis
Napoleon. Earnestly, eagerly, he looks upon
the scene. His eye, however, In compelled
ever and anon to take in wider range II he
thinks Of Italy and Rome, he also thinks Of
Germany. II he has thoughts OF the Holy
Father, he has, also, thoughts Of the French
people. The French people-that is Napoleon's
central thought. His desire TO be we'll with
them, above all other causes, determines at
the present moment bis Italian and German
policy. To involve France in war Napoleon
on success To have actively and by force Of
arms in,erfered in this Italian imbroglio would,
II is all but certain, have led TO q war, in
which, not to speak more strongly, success on
the part Of France would have been doubtful.
Hence II Is that Napoleon, refusing to interfere
otherwise than by words, has hitherto con-
tented himself with being an anxious, a
seriously thoughtful and an interested on
locker.
The situation is really delicate. Much viii
depend upon the course which Napoleon may
yet take. He is still at Barrie, and does not
return to Paris till Tuesday. Meanwhile, all
fears may be laid aside as TO tho personal

Storm signals 10 Protect Vessels mt Sea.
The faw notices we have had Of the ap-
preaching season Of storms and the accidents
that have lately occurred at sea have had the
effect OF calling attention to the necessity Of
some system Of signals along the coast to wara
vessels Of danger. We published sensible
communication on the subject in. last Fridays
HERALD, and we learn that the shipowners and
insurance agents Of New York, Philadelphia
and Boston are cont ,mplating the adopionsof
. more reliable and efic emit mode Of commu-
nicstion with those portions Of the coast most
dreaded by mariners In very stormy sea-
son-ss Last winter, for instance-the wrecks and
dam &c to vessels along our coast, particularly
from Cape Hatteras and northward, are fright
full At times the whole Of the Atlantic and
gulf coast is dangerous. 1t Is known that
storms travel ct certain rate and in certain
direction. The Flaw Of storms" - 1t is called,
d now pretty well understood, 80 that II We
had the means Of warning vessels ct distance
OF the coming danger muoh lon Of property
and life could be saved. For example, tsrri-
bio storm from tho north has just struck New
York, Is travelling southwark Ct = known
velocity, and must strike the coast of Virginia
and the Carolinas with fury within given
time Suppose there were storm signals 81
the Capes of the Delaware, Cape Hatteras
and at other important points, and . mag
netic telegraph was connected with al
Of them, we could then warn the numbers
Of vessels coming f,om the south, or about
leaving port Of approaching danger-of .
danger which they m.ght not 0 .herwi . suspect
until It came upon them. THIS, then, is just
what is proposed-to have storm signals along
the coast, connected by magnetic to egraph, 90
as to give instant warning in time for vessels
to avoid danger by running into port or BY
otherwise protecting themselves. No time
should be lost in providing this system Of
sign Is. II could be done even before the
gales Of midw inter- set in. We have no doubt
Congress would aid this project to protect

Southern Whiscs and Biacks-Law an
Order.

Southern Whites and Blacks-Iaw and
Order.
The reports Of Assistant Commissioners Of
the Freedmen's Bureau for the months Of July,
August and September have been rendered to
General Howard. We express the feelings Of
well disposed people Of every shade Of politi-
cal opinion, both in the North and the South,
when we say that we are glad to learn from
these reports that remarkable change for the
better has taken place during the past
few months in the relations between
whites and blacks in the Southern
States Formerly, as our Washington cor
respondent says, every monthly report from
the several Southern districts was filed
with accounts Of ourages on the blacks and
the poverty of the people; but now these re-
ports are tor the most part short, mentioning
but few cases of violence and testifying to the
apparently earnest desire Of the people to live
in peace and obey the laws. claw and order"
appears to be the watchword OF both whites
and blacks. These encouraging reports,
coupled With the generally favorable accounts
OF the crops Of grain and cereals in several Of
the Southern States, relieve somewhat the anxi-
ETY. which the recent incendiary appeals of
such malign ,nts as Hunnicutt Of Richmond, are
only too we'll calculated to excite. We have
unquesionable evidence that at the bi-weekly
meetings Of the negroes at many Of the county
court houses of Virginia the appeals Of the
incendiary Hunnicutt have reached too many
willing ears, and that an unusual demand fer
luciier matches was beginning to arise among
the exclable young girls and old women, who,
as Hunnicutt threatened, would be able and
eager to apply the torch to the dwellings of
their former masters But we are happy to
learn that, after all, the amicable relations
which, despite all false representations to the
contrary, used to exist between master and
servant throughout the South, have not yet lost
the force Of their influence. Even the alleged
recalcitrancy Of the freedmen to the United
States authorities, as in the case Of those who
were reported to have opposed successful
armed resistance when ordered to vacate lands
on which taey had squatted in Norfolk county,
happily proves, on investigation, to have had
no foundation in fact Moreover, the statistics
of colored education in Virginia show that ten
thousand negroes in that State have learned
how 10 read during the past year. and our
hopes are sanguine that not Q few Virginia
negroes will soon know enough to reject indig-
nantly the wicked counsels Of Hunnicutt and
his set Law and order will, we trust, be
maintained, and prosperity, In which all SOC
tions of the Union may share, will be the ulti-
mate result
