S. D. LEWLGE-
Dear sir, " A Corps ofl Engipeers
are prosecuting a Survey , of; the . Leggett's Dap
Railroad," from a point on the Lackawanna near
the•mouth of Roaring Brook, to the Great 'Bend, a
distance not exceeding, 40 miles. The New York
papers have made somestatements about the road
which are not plain, and render the locality of the
road rather obscure. The following 'facts you are
welcome to use for the benefit of the readers of
your paper.
An Act grantingNa charter to a Company to con
struct a Railroad was , assed, on the ith of April,
1832, "From a point in Cobb's Gap, where nu in
tersection or connection can be conveniently form
"ed with the Susqu • and-Delaftre canal, or
" Railroad in Luz d k county, to a - `point on the
"New York State L e in "Susquehanna. county,
"passing through the oal Region on the Lacka
" wanna and Leggett's Gar with the privilege 'to
connect with the North Branch Canal at Pittston.
This subject has been revived from time to time,
by some enterprizing citizens of this County, and
on the 7th of - March last, the Commissioners 'had
encouragement to open the Books for subscription
in Providence township, when $251,300 was sub
scribed and $25,130, paid into the hands of Henry
W. Drinker, Jeremiah Clark, and Nathaniel Cot
authorized Commissioners, mostly by citizens,
and men engaged in bUsiness in this county.
A Survey has been commenced hy,llaj. Worrell,
with an active corps of En e , , rineers, with a view of
ascertaining the cost and best route for location.—
Mr. James Seymour, Civil Engineer, made a survey
in 1832, when it was ascertained that a Locomotive
mate could be obtained which is the plan at pres
ent. The Summit between the, - waters of Lacka
wanna and Titnkhannock, near Jeremiah Clark's in
AbinF,ton; is the only serious obstacle in the way,
as it is situate only about 7 miles from the crossing
of the Lackawanna, but this is overcome by a grade
under the maximum - grade of a Loconietive. The
grade beyond this point will be:comparatively easy
and fitvorable to the trade going north, - The line
will descend the South Branch of the Tunkbannock
and cross the, main Branch, and ascend' Martin's
Creek, and descend Salt Lick to the Susquehanna,
whole distance about 40 - miles."
Gonm's.L.snr's Boox for June made its appear-

its date. The enterprise of its publishe t . is well
kept up, in the number, variety, and unexcelled
beauty of its embeflishments, and the interest of
its pages, enriched by the, contributions of some of
the most eminent literary writers of these times.—
A new volume for the 2d lutlf ,year is to commence

Mr. Mad:ready - 4* the City in the uniform of a

He seemed greatly shocked by the account of the
scenes which were transpiring as he left -
Mr. Melanin, the• proprietor of the New-York Ho

barricade the doors oftii house, to prevent the en

occupied rooms at his house.
On Monday night, the neighborlioed of Astor

An Appeal fur Mr. Macready
i
publs hed in the Boston papers of Tuesday
slignedhy William H. Prescott, the Inst
ow ing,o
-1
ri Rob Rantoul, Jr.; G. S, Hilliard, and' three
oth r gen ernes of like distinction. It is a..idres - zed
rl
to e pr* lic; and commences -with the following
sta ementlef• :the reasoes - which induced ii:
qi••• du ,•to the feelings of Mr Macready, who
cannot in its own•pernonaeldress the public, after
thelmouniful occurrence:4 at New York, that an au
thentie statement should he Mad , from which eve
ry rightminded man 'slit be - able !to judge how far
rie
he s resn.ible for what has been done. It4cruld
lutbeen preferable that such actatemerit should
err. i
ate from persons iniNew Y rk, well acquaint
ed With most of the facts, and who, we doubt not,
at 'the proper time, s would hive been ready to make
a jest representation of them t' the public ; but
Mr.lMacready has been compe ll ed : to leave that
city, and he is necessarily herefor a short time,
befere keying the country, the undersigned have
thotight that juk:ice to him, as well as the duty of
hoiliitslity, and a due-regard to public opinion, re-''
quire that some citizens - ,-.of Boston should obtain
11-clei Mr.Macready some particulars with a view - to
their publication. '" , ' I
The card then proceeds to recapitulate the cir
cuestanceli occurring in New York previously to
the kite fearful riot. It says that when the letter
of Waceington Irving arid ofhers,requesting•him to
plaY .:gain, was handed to laim, he was of the opin
ion that the second performance ought to be post
paled to Friday everung,ito give: time for all ex
eiM ent to subside. nod to allow the eke/elation of
doc vents, which the press, with great unanimity, ,
haS eclared disproved every charge that has been
bran ght against him. . .• -
In this he was overnded -by the judgment of
thoee who represented to him, that the state of pub
lic opinions was so entirely on the side of order, that
is delay so long as Friday- might c,ause•arehutation,
anallgive opportunity to turbulent spirits again to
attempt breaches of the peace. • Under these vietis-
Ml 4. X:nready prepared his answer to 'Mr. Irving.
andhis associates. i i
The statement concludes as follows—
Mr. Macready did not, either I directly_ or inch=
reedy, take any steps whatever to cause his friends
to be present at the theatre, or to encounter in any
way the opposition of those hostile to him, except -
by, using the document referred to to be
published.'
He simply eubmitted himself to the
i
wishes of tis friends, as expressed in their letter,.
andlto his own sense of the_duty, ho owed to the,
citizens of NeW York; and in doin g so, the public
with judge whether he ought tct-earty away with
himfrom his country any other feeling than that'
whi ev ry 'humane Man must have, when he
find his e many way connected - with so dread- - '
ful °cc oce;howeyer • hrimaint he may have,
