Roads and Bridges.

The Committee on Roads and Bridges held meeting last evening to consider the exten- sion of Jackson street, which involves bridges over the Shore Line and Air Line railroads, to State street. Several parties ap- peared in favor of the proposed improve. ments. Others favored the extension and bridging of James street, while others had various opinions to offer regarding the pro- posed improvements.
 City Surveyor Fowler, who was present, stated that MT. Reed, vice president of the Consolidated road, had been consulted in re- gard to the matter, but he was not prepared to give an opinion at that time as to what his company desired or were willing to do. He thought, however, that they would be willing to submit propositions in day or two. MT. Fowler said that estimates of the cost could be made very quickly after MT. Reed was heard from.
 The committee adjourned until next Mon day evening, when it is expected that the plans will be decided upon, the cost estima- ted and they will then be in position to act.

Old Uncle John Southworth, the engineer, stop ped near Stamford, and tried to repair dam ages but was unsuccessful, and started for New Haven, head ightless. It's bad enough to drive an engine in the night, and through a storm, but add the disadvantage of no light, and the terror of flying headlong into black chaos, and it requires stout heart and plenty of nerve.

 MT. Phipps, the shipping merchant on Long Wharf, received dispatch from St. Croix announcing that the brig George, which left that island for New Haven about month ago, had foundered and gone down with all her cargo, which consisted of quantity of sugar, molasses and rum. The dispatch states that the captain, George Morgan, was drowned, but that the two mates, Martin and Mitchell, were both saved and brought back to St. Croix. The crew consisted of four men before the mast and cook, but whether they are saved or drowned is not known. The vessel is one that has sailed from this port for number of years, and the present was to have been her last trip under Captain Nor gan and for MT. Phipps, as parties had agreed to purchase her on her arrival here. A gen. tleman was in the city yesterday with $2, 800 to purchase the vessel. The news of the death of Captain Morgan causes much regret. He was esteemed by large circle of friends and acquaintances, and was genial, whole hearted man. He leaves a wife, who is in Boston, but no family. He leaves an aged mother, who resides in Canada, where he has a brother who is 8 member of the Canadian Parliament. Captain Morgan was only 32 The mate Martin is a brother of Charles Mar tin, driver of steamer ?, in this city. The brig George was about twenty years old and has been lucky vessel She was valued at $2, 800 and was not insured. The cargo was insured for &, ,000, divided equally between the Security of this city and the Providnce company
