a I THE LONG- -ISLAND STAR. For the Long Island Star, a recent communication on the subMe. of the Long-Island Rail-Road," I intimated my tion to discuss the topic more at large; and I now purpose to chain of Rail-Road communication, in in a state of forredeem the pledge. The subject is one of consequence. A wardness, from Boston to the city which of is to be Washington, supplied with by the proposed exception measure; and which chain will, likely, the single of one link, soon from our eastern to our southern and western borders.

York and Boston by this route, including twenty miles of water conveyance, will be two-hundred three miles; and can be safely and between New- York and Stonington by this route, will be compassed in twelve hours. And the distance easily 'ope-hundred and twenty miles, or the same as that between New- York and Say-Brook, (at the mouth of the Connecticut river) by the present water passage! By these statements it will appear, that the wanting link the grand chain of Atlantic frontier Rail- Road, is to cost in less than half to the mile, of what the others are to cost, on average. On this fact the friends of the Long-Island Rail-Road do rely, and may confidently rely, unless it is to be supposed that the land owner, the capitalist, and the public, will not see or cannot New- York appreciate it.

Boston, Supposing a passenger is to start from for or Greenport vice versa, and to take the Long-Island route, via and Stonington; that he is to pay three cents per mile for as the large transit; to the would work not which the profit cost of but his $15,000 conveyance per enlie, it would the work which cost $30,000 per mile? A merto chant of the dullest intellect would at once perceive that it would be so; and would be governed, in his investment cordingly. It is thought by some intelligent and highly respectable men, that the passengers who will be transported on the Long-Island Rail-Road will be so great in number as to pay ten per-cent a year to the stock- holders, barring any communication with Stonington, and barring the carriage of any produce whatever. The idea, as I have heard it stated, is simply this; that five per-cent will travel the Island when the enterprise is Anished, where there now travels but one which at three cents per mile for each, would amount to 200 to $230,000 gross, per annum. Without admitting or contradicting this point, I beg to say, that if the half of it should be realized, then would the gross revenue of the work, from the produce which would inevitably carry, and the passengers who would make their transit by it as between Stonington and Nerothe cost, if the entire outlays should exceed $1,750,000.

Mr. SPOONER: The inhabitants of eastern side of are much annoved for the want of OmniFulton-street, busses, to convey them to their homes while the residents of the western side can at any time, when an omnibus is on the stand, get accommodated. We Orientals, if the drivers. Now, when a man pays his money, and conveyed at all, are favored with manifest unwillingness by gives value received, it is not at all pleasant to be made to feel an obligation; and I wish to suggest through you to some person in that line of business, to run a paper, carriage exclusively for the eastern side.

I think that it will be patronised as much as the one that runs exclusively on the other side. At any event, it shall receive all the support of your friend LIMP. Brooklyn, Sept. 30, 1834. In the year oft the city, 1.

SIXTH WARD. At a mecting of the Whigs of the Sixth Ward, held at Quevedo's, on Tuesday evening, 30th S. B. M. SANDS was called to the Chair, and ROBERT TOLFORD, appointed Secretary -the following resolutions were unanimously adopted Resolved, That the late assumptions of Executive powunconstitutional and derogatory to our national er, are prosperity and honor; Post that the corruption and such, prodigal expenditure of the Office Department, are as to call for unmeasured reprobation from all who have at heart the liberty and welfare of our country; and that the retaining of men in office, publicly convicted of corrupt and infamous practices, is a violation of law, and an encouragement to the perpetration of crime subversive of the laws and institutions of this country.

Resolved, That the patriotic efforts of the Senate in resisting, the despotic measures of the President, meet our approbation; and that they stimulate tiberties us of to the renewed exertions, adapted to establish the country upon a permanent basis; and to deter future aspirants from a similar course of tyranny and usurpation.

STILWELL; that their exalted virtues and noble patriotism, call for confidence and support and that all lawful means in our to power be put in requisition, in order to secure their election the honorable offices for which they are so eminently qualified.

Resolved, That the time has arrived, when every man who values liberty, loves his country, and feels pride in her free insti utions, should stand forth and use his best endeavors to arrest the progress of these at the head of our public affairs, whose only object appears to be, to secure to themselves the "spoils," which, through intrigue and the abuse of the public confidence, they are now enjoving. On motion, it was resolved, that a Ward Executive Committee be appointed, and that the following persons compose the committee S. B. M. Sands, Willam B.

Any commendatory remarks relative to these celebrated stoves, where they are well known, would be useless but as they are little known in this market, it may be well to remark, that we have certificates from many of the most respectable citizens of Troy, Albany, Schenectady, Baltimore, and many other places where they have been introduced, testifying to their great superiority over any other stove they have seen used-" that roasting and baking, heretofore so difficult to accomplish with stoves, are done to their entire satisfaction--and that for boiling and all the other operations of cooking, they consume but about half the quantity of fuel of any other stove of the same capacity." By the revolving top, rotated by means of a crank, any boiler may be brought directly over the fire, or removed from it at pleasure, saving the labor and inconvenience of frequently lifting them off and on. The public are invited to call and examine them at No. 244 Water-street, New- York.
