II will be seen that New. York has third through
line of railway to Buffalo, and two roads to Utica
Syracuse Rochester, and Auburn. BY the Midland
road Buffalo will be 75 miles nearer NewYOTk Syra-
tcuse 50 miles nearer and Utica 40 miles Beside
these connections the geographical position OF the
road will give it the advantage in competing for the
trade of the Dominion Of Canada. The region
through which the principal line of this road runs
has been very much neglected and received but little
from the State. The people have transportation
except that by wagon, and they are almost wholly
without the advantages possessed by other portions of
The State The first five years of the existence of this
road would add at least 900 to the taxable prop
erty of the State A State tax of mills would in
hbe same time yield TO the State $1,5OO,OOO. Over

The Assembly, to-day, again under the lead OF
Democratic dictation, ordered to a third reading
bill which will prevent any person residing in Jersey
from leasing stalls in any of your markets. The
measure was introduced in the early part Of the ses
sion by Mr.. Nachtman. and ever since 1t has been
reported the Democratic members OF NeW-loIK
have made united pressure for its passage. They
secured enough Republican votes, this morning
TO succeed The bill was principally urged
by Messrs. Hitchman. Murphy Plunkett, and
Hartman. and the frstnamed gentleman stated
that the bill had the approval of the Controller. 1t
was urged on the ground that it would benefit the
poor men of New-York but the arguments were an
swerod by Messrs. La Bau and Hegerman' who
claimed that the bill unconstitutional. as it in
terfered with the commerce between the States. Mr.
IIegerman remarked that the Legislature would
have as much right to prevent Wall-st broker who
lived in ew.Jersey from doing business IN New
York and that. instead of benehting the poor men,
A. did the very reverse 1t shut out the competition
~ New-Jersey. and built up a New-York monopoly

Repnbcans voted TO order the bill to third
