Carpenters and others employed in building, who six months ago were paid 255. to 30s. per day, can with difficulty find work at 14e. to 184.; and u provisions of all kinds are advancing, it is leered there will be much distress amongst the operatives. The Governor-General opened the session of the Legislative Council of this colony on the sth 'He referred in his speech to the necessity of a rail way in this colony. Experience, he observed, had proved the utter inadequacy of the common rood to meet the daily increasing denisnd for transport. The iron-bark and other trees of these colonies were well adapted for the purpose of rails, and a line constructed ot such durable materials would supply the place of iron for many years. Ten or twelve mites a day is about the pace which the drays now travel ; sod if eight miles an hour could be attained for the transit of produce it would be an incalculable advantage, and a single line would avail for this purpose. In the Sydney Criminal Court, on the 3rd inst., 'the Rev. Dr. Lang, • minister of the Scotch church and a member of the Legislative Council, appeared to answer an ex officio intormation filed by the At torney-Cleneral on the part of Alexander Stuart, manager of the Bank of New South Wales. Some mouths ago the son of Dr. Lang was convicted of embersling moneys the property ot the bank in question, of owed the branches of which he was inanagiog clerk ; and it was is defence of his son that the rev, defendant published the libel. He was found guilty, and entered into recoguisances to appear when called on to receive sentence. At the police-office, on the 15th inst., two gold brokers, named Nash and Forbes, were fined in heavy penalties for using deficient weights in the purchase of gold from a digger. It is suspected they have carried on this fraudulent practice to a great extent. Nash is stated to be an "old hand," one of a clris who, "sent out of the country for their country's good," have contrived to acquire a large amount of wealth. A criminal prosecution for the fraud has been instituted against Nash and Forbes by the Crown. Yesterday mornings meeting of creditors of Month.

As far as matters had bees represented to him, he thought that all he need say was, that three Propositions had bees made by Woods of the house, which he would state as shortly as poesibta. It bad bees thought that as the house was bold in nob anivereal esteem, it might sot be di cult to find personal friends to pro cure the necessery funds to stable the house to re sume business. That was ewe proposition. That failing, the next proposition was that the business of the hoe • should be tarried on under Jeeps/dos, the inspectors taking the mansgersest of the fluids, sad dividing them as het utility came into their beads. The third proposition was, that Messrs. De Lisle wad Conway, with the amistase• ot friends, should establish a sow Gm,' in order that they might retain the valuable coastmlot they possessed. From numerous letters whist had been Naive& there teemed to be every probability that laftheatisl persons who had Meg had dealings with the house would rosins their correepoa &sae as in times past. These were the three propositions which weald be submitted for the sonsideration of the oreditors. Messrs. De Lisle and Co. were not prepared to submit any figures at the present moment.

He (the chairmas) had been requested to mention that it would be advisable to adjourn the protein meeting until Saturday next. at 12 o'eloak. at which time the propositions ha had mentioned might he advaatageotaly discussed. Is the event of that supgesten belong weeded to, he should request the friends of the hoses to forbear, and to abstain, except in cases of immediate asesesity, from making say fixed arrangement until after the discussion which would then take place. The funds of the booth were in gambit safety, and no apprehensions need therefore be felt em that acoonbt. Mr. GuLthrts concurred in the propriety of the adjoars meat. lie attended as the representative of the Bask of British North America—an 'situation which would render every assistance to Messrs. De Lisle aid assents in their at tempts to resume business. He knew that the funds of the house were in perfect safety, and he might state, for the satisfaction of the creditors, that measures had been taken to ascertain the value ot the mastitis, in Canada, sad to obtain reports upon that subject.

The mail bags were stolen, but no violence was done to the passengers. Mr. Brooke, from the London boards, has renewed his engagement at the Royal Victoria Theatre, in this city, in the hope of better houses than he has hitherto been favoured with, many of the influential citizens having pledged themselves to eupport him. The success of Miss Catherine Hayes a few months ago has induced her, it is said, to resolve on another visit to Sydney. She is stated to have caused a great sen sation in India. The reports from South Australia are very cheering as to the extent of agricultural pursuits. Although gold•digging is still remunerative, se appears by the weekly returns, the large number of persons engaged in the search for the precious metal has materially lessened individual gain ; and many persona lately diggers are now turning up the soil for Toilful; cereal crops. The cultivation of wheat is now from eight to ten times greater than that of any former year; good seed wheat fetches 255. per bushel. Intelligence has been received at Hobart Town that the Catherine Sharer, Captain Thomas, which left London for that port on the 13th of February with passengers and a general cargo, took fire at Port F./Terence, in D'Entrecasteaux channel, on the 6th lost. Being unable to subdue the fire, the pas sengers and crew took to the boats, and got safely on shore. There were about nine tons of gunpowder on board, which exploded, blowing the ship to atoms. One portion of the mast, weighing 2 cwt., was thrown into the bush, and fell half a milo from the water's edge. The mail was saved, having been picked up two miles from where the vessel dropped anchor. The passengers were brought to Hobart Town on the 9th inst. in a destitute and most de plorable condition, and were received at the Immigra tion Depot. One of the seamen is in custody on suspicion of having set fire to the vessel. The Phoenician, Amnon, 103 days from London, and the Asa Packer, Broomfield, 88 days from the Downs, arrived in the port of Sydney yesterday. The Rhonda and the Tryntje Fenno, from London, have arrived at Melbourne. tab' mats eisfilt . tto_dienkslism. 4 114.0-1, committee would be glad to see any one of these-eagge► tioas adopted, yet they beg to state that, In the present position of the colonial Seances, they think that en extension of leases would be mist advisable, MI no risk would thereby scorns to the colonial us; while, on the other hand, any new dogioveries which might h. future be made would be the property of the government, and might be disposed of, or worked to considerable acvaatage.

A little more them two loofahs ago the Prohibitory Liver La n, which had been passed by the Seward whip 1111111.1.na with the ultra temperance men, went into asesinal rft,ct. Thu fu it has proved what all namable neon knave it would, a nullity. It is not observed in the Maw, and a very limited obedience is rendered it is the deanery. Decisions under it have been set aside by the Dupresair Court, and now await their heal adjudication is the Court of Appeals. The only provision of the statute which has been observed fairhiully is that providing for the arrest and puoishrnett of public drunter& It would seem that these fate woold open the eyes of the advocates of se am* prohibition to the truth that there is somethieg radi ally wrong in the law itself, that the praciple epee which it is hosed is faulty, and that the law mat neeseendly be inoperative. It is useless to say that the combined ie fluenee of those pecuniarily interested in the liquor traffic has defe.ted the proper working of the law. All the Mousy they can ournand, all the opinion, they can pay for, all the political influeree they eta bring to bar would icareely be a feather's weight in opposition to a just law, so held by the masses of the people. On, warts are not obninioue to the charge of equality, and they bays &least universally held the law un esmatitutiosal— the popular sentiment is strongly in fe wer of t. marmite and good m Tale, and ready to sustain an measure which contributes to public peace and private virtue, and yet scarcely a man can be found who is willing to endorse this law in its present shape. It Is a question of great importance whether the act shall be re paled, or whether it shall amide a dead letter upon our "teats bake. An inoperative law is won" than no law at all, henna it tends to lessen respect for all our laws, and induces opposition to their requirements. Is the present 'audition of the natter society has not the security it en joyed ruder the old license system, and the necessity for some immediate move is daily more apparent. The 'earl- Meet of a prohibitory law has proved a failure, and the quiletiOa now is, shall we have a law that will prevent the sale of intemperance without inhingina on personal and property ;Win. This prohibitory system has been found venally inefficient in western states and in New Reglad, sibses it that went into operation. Public sonatisece in it is gradually bat certainly diminiahing. The result, sooner whiter, will be a return to sound principles in legislation ea this tolled, and we hope New York will be the first stale to set the zzareple.—Butfaio Courtier. Itis a signifi cant fact that, so tar as the retains have bees received, Dot use person who voted in favour of the present liquor law has been returned to the legislature.—Poraarid (V. S.) Argus.

Phis part of the railway is under cowries, and is to be toned by the Ist of Janney nest under a penalty. payable by the contractor, of 600 francs for every day's delay beyond that time. The line from Namur to Arlon moat be fiaished by tbe Ist of April, 1859, that is to say, dim years and a half from the present time ; the extensions he the frontiers of the Grand Duchy of Lessening and of Imes are to be completed at the same time as the rises whin am to be constructed in order to meet thew. Bia- WS maths are allowed to complete the junction line with the government stations at Brussels. We think all these periods sufficiently eatoaded The other conditions of the ilenention may be described as various elr.rers, such as the niniveyeaes of lettere, of Custom house officers in charge of goods, and the liberty claimed by the government to ores a telegraph on the line of railway. Thew cooditiose see similar to those which are now imposed on other rail way enemies in Belgians, even on those who have not the advantage of a guarantee of interest, and the company swim • partial compensation in the right accorded to them by the government to place • telegraph wire 101 the envies of the railway. The board appreciate the advantages of this lionvistioa the more because during eight months they have been in a state of uncertainty. It ninetiee the company in the whole of their rights, accords sufficient periods of time to complete the undertaking, and eetablie es • good under standing between the government and the oompany, which cannot bat be b. panel. Having thus stated the progress of the negotiations with the goverownt, and the results obtained, we now alms to speak of the works. Notwithstanding the difficult sad uncertain position of the company, these have been conti nuously carried on. At the period of our jolts's, the oar pony the portion of railway opened for trait; was limited to the 16 kilometres (9, miles) Ist twain Brussels and La Rulpe. The working of this short portion of the line was not only unprofitable, but inning as it did in • comparatively Maly populated part of the country, involved • not incon siderable loss ; it therefore became the more necessary to complete • more intended length of railway. Bme wad derable tuitions in rock oa the Brussels side of Nemar have rendered It impossible to complete the line to the latter plane, but the railway is opened to !Misses 31 mils% whin is within four miles thereof, and yields • is. Wave that is satisfactory nadir the circumstances, the working expense not sieredieg fifty per mat. of the re. mire. As has bees previovey stated, the contract for the works to Namur itself fins the time for its completion on the 14 January next, when • very large augmentation of the present receipts will most aesundly be obtained. The works between Reuses and Arloo have also been con tinued, bat as they are at the southern extremity ef the railway. the contractor beano% been pressed to elect their enespletion. The lino which is to coeneet the money's station at Brussels with the government stations is in come of cionstroetioe, two of the principal bridges and a large portion of the earthworks are resented, and there is little room for doubt that these wmks will be finished by Mid iminewr nest. Advertionneute have been lowered foe Madera for the works between the river Mews and &rine, my nearly tea miles in Saga, and it is intended to entreet her all the remaining works in such time as will allow of their being finished at the same period as those comprised in Mobs mentioned contract.

There has also ban paid for works, land, end antingeat emporium up to the present time, 1,129,714 tr. 97 eta., say 46,1901. The distaase *bah Is betimes this navigation and the railway, its locality, mad direetios, render it difficult to conceive how or why two enterprise's° distiact should have the ante proprietary her their owners, and the some directing body for their simagers. With this, homer, the meant board have had lathing to do ; their duty has bees to examine the merits of the etroesre,and this they have done very carefully, a section et their body having lately travailed the whole length of the anteesplated ia.provements. Taking up this portion of the property of the shareholders as they found it, the Drama board believe the question for them to determine M, what is likely to be the result of present and future matey num the nedertakirg. Had (bay now to determine the vodka as to whether this enterprise should be undertaken at all er not, they world have no hesitation in giving it a de als" negative; but as lies been already aid, th e quotioa he them as forth,' proprietom is, what will in all probabilite be the result of carrying on the works to completion. Costing aside, therefore, for the memeat the original sum paid to the former possessor' of this property, and locking only to the probable cost of the inprovemeats, the present state of the information which the board possess leads them to the conclusion that the improvements from Liege to Barvaux will Mt a further outlay of three millions ot francs, or 120,0001. ; to this ha to be added the sons already ex. podded, 45,1931. •, making a total of 165.1931. The moat careful elltitaSt• of the revenue to be obtsinsd, after deduct. log working sad maintaining expenses, is 22.8,680 franca, or 8,8201., bang therefore more that 6 per cent. on the total oat of the improvements, or rather non than 8 per cent. on the sum still to be expended. It rowans now to speck of the probable oat of com pleting the allay, and the available mesas at the pom pon* disposal for meeting the same. The practice heretofore on the Great Luxembourg Rail. way ha been to contract for the works on a schedule of prim ' and as regards the earthwork, which necessarily tans the largest item, to ogres to pay according to the elareeter and quality of the materiel which was excavated fon the cuttings, and with which the embankments were gamed. For 'sample. earth—Utah", it was clay or sand ...NM paid for at a certain price per cubits metre, schist at .seeker trios, and rock at a still higher price. The present beard believe this to be • vicious practice—it lads to ever. seaming disputes between the company and the eon- Waiter as to the quantities and character of the material to be remind, and it also leaves the proprietor' I. doubt as to what will be the ultimate cost of the railway. It Is for these reasons that the present board have concluded a sew arrangement with the eatracter for the remaislue works between Brussels and Nazar for a lied sum, and it is their intention to adopt the same pile- Mole of arrangement for the works necessary to oomplete the satire railway. There is a difficulty, however, in justly apposiatiou beforehand what may be the character of the alderiel es a long line of railway where the cuttings are is ilea instances of great depth, and la Axing as It were a Sea price for the ruffs ent qualities and proportions of the elm* to be excavated. The directors have, however, endea vored to obtain the beat information and opinions spa this Wm of expenditure. Upon all the other item", with the inception of the land, there can be no great discrepancy, sad eves ea to the land the eaperiance already had enders it possible to make a tolerably correct 'Westin. Wilk these reservatioes, and with a sinew* desire to place the true state of the undertaking before do shareholders, the board venture to express the opinioa Mat 964,0001 will be sufficient to finish the railway to its NOW. terminus at Arlon, and supply the rolling stock NA station". If to this is a dded the sum naessary to com tlts canalisation of the Clothe to "tram: (120 0001 a rill require for teeth the sum of 1,074.0001; add to saw 6 per eat. for contingent and watoreetwe espeinge.

To meet this exoaditure the company have still to receive 71. per share oa 78,335 sharer, being the ameba of shares Gal *hi* the calls have of late bees paid; the cospsay have also still to issue 87,800 obligations of 41. or 100 francs each, which at pie will produce 3 2001, makieg together the sum of 809,6451. In the outse t of the omens the aunt ' her of thus" wee 150.000; they have bees reduced byabse. dement and forfeiture to the above number of 78,335; and the direct o r. propos* so • furt!er remotes to re-issue rash a number as will make up 100.000 shares of 201. each. These shares it is proposed to offer ratably, in the int pleas, to the existing shareholders at 41.

The latter document was es follows : " The formation of the National Sunday League is of so recent a date that the committee, in this their first report, have to deal with indications of success rather than with positive results, although the latter are by no means petianle. Upon the recommendation of &select committee eepoiated to report upon the propriety of establishing such see a ssociation, the League s formed on September have bee 7, 1865, and its e ff orts during t wa be past month n devoted to the construction of rules, the appointment of officers, and the fusing of an &Arose. In the selection of officers the attention of the committee was naturally directed to those gentlemen who had already performed active settle, in the clues ; and in the choice of a president their unanimous decision fell upon Sir Joshua Walmsley. It is only justice to state that, when Sir Joshua Walmeley wee solicited to assume the presidentship of the league, he 'normal!' his great willingness to assist the object of its formation in every way in his power, adding, ho -ever, that be would "at ail times rather than guide," and ad vising the selection of the officers from the body of the Om. mimes themselves. The tried sincerity and knows, seal of Sir Joshua Walmaley were sufficient guarantees kw his unflinch ing support of soy cause he had once undertaken, and the committee felt no hesitation in pressing upon his acceptases the position of leader of the league. The committee anticipate being able to add considerably to the list of vies president., and in the meantime beg to call the attention a the members to the letters from Lora Stanley, Lord Goderieb, Vinous% Ebrington, Bit Benjamin Ball, and kilt.

" In framing the rules for the internal government of the League, the *minims have endeavoured to °train the utmost efficiency in the most simple . and have boa especial regard to the laws which regulate the expediter* of its finances, knowing that there is no point which se quins more strict attention than the pecuniary arrange meats of public aseesiations.

It eemelns ealy for the committee to tender a few remarks upon the address already issued.

The article which appeared under the above title ID the July number of the Westminster Review has at length called forth an answer from the London Temperance League, in the shape of a public lecture, which was deli vered last evening at Exeter Hall, by Dr. F. R. Luxe, the euthot of,seveval essays in advocacy of the total abstinence principle. The hall was well filled by an audieocie of both 'eau, conspoud, as their frequent and veciferctu cheering sufficiently proved, of persons pledged to the views of the lecturer. Dr. CanisntiTill presided, and opened the proceedings with as address, in which be took credit for his own consistent and lung tried adherence to the teetotal doctrine, referred to the great progress that that doctrine was making, and remarked upon the comments of the press for and against it. lie charged the writer in the Wesinsinskr Review with prejudice and entire ignorance of physiological science, and pledged his own scientific reutation as a physiologist, and a former editor of the le p ading medical quarterly review of this country, to that opinion. lie then proceeded to argue that animal food was unnecessary to the existence of man, inasmuch as grain, routs, and other vegetables contained all the elements of nou rishment to be feuad in the flub of animals. He altogether denied the puition of the reviewer, that alcohol was food, and gave force to the body. The enemies' element which au,- plied the waste of muscle end fosse was nitrogen, and it was well known that alcohol was nun-nitrogenous. The Limit's followed—Teetotalism, be contended, was the expression of natural law and divine science. He complained that the Westminster reviewer had not fairly treated the teetotal doctrine, and that he had resorted to abuse to make up for his lack of argument. In audeavour kg to prove that total abstinence was illogical, the reviewer urged that it rested upon two pillars, viz., that alcohol was a poison, and that it was not • food. The ad vocates of teetotalism rested their principle upon no such pillar. What they contended was that alcohol was found by experience to be injurious to the fullest development of all the animal and mental powers of man. Neither did they, as the reviewer stated, assert that the lam evil resulted from the moderate as from the excessive use of alcohol, or that the moderate use neces sarily led to excess. What they held was, that the limited use of all narcotics" tended" to their greater use. It did nut follow,' however, that if alcohol was a poison it was not a food, but it was not a natural or a wholesome food. The teetotallers did not, as wu asserted, object to the use of stimulants, but to the lase of improper stimulants. The various conclusions drawn by the reviewer were not the natural deductions from the premises he laid down, and were about as logical as it would be to say that because a positive philosopher (which the reviewer professed to be) was a man, and a fool was • ease, ergo, • natural philosopher was a fool. (This satirical allusion to the mental powers of the impugned article was reee:ved wits roars of laughter.) The whole of the article was •n this way taken point by point, gad almost sentence by sentence, and answered, occasionally with some sarcasm, and evidently with the most perfect satisfaction to the lecturer and the audience; and the chemical question be met by asserting that the operation of alcohol in the human body was to ex baud the oxygen in the blood, to deteriorate and pollute vital fluid, end gradually to destroy the organs of the lite. The position that the °mensal use of alcohol eoonomieed the tissues, and prevented their waste, he treated as ridiculous The reviewer had compared alcohol with tea as • stimulant, but tea and alcohol were opposites—the one was a narcotic, the other simply a stimutaut. Teetotallers did not object to the use of stimulants, but of nave tics, espe cially three, via., alcohol. tobacco, and • plum. He charged the reviewer, 1n quoting Liebig in sunpurt of his views,wlth suppressing passages which told against him, and concluded by asserting that the practice of entire abstinence from alco holic drinks was consonant with the principles of true seine*, and urging the absolute necessity, both for the sake of the morals and the health of the rising g ion, of in colcating the practice as a part of the system of national @demotion. Dr. OSLIT, who said he had been 60 years • teetotaller (a portion of that time serving in the Arctic upon') and was now an octogenarian, enjoyins robust health, moved a vote of thanks to the lecturer, which having been seconded by Dr. ELLIS, who claimed to be a teeto eller of 17 years' standing—and was certainly, as far as external appearances are concerned, the most favourable specimen of the sani tary effects of total abstinence in the room—was carried nuanimnusly. The Rev. Nxwwilc HALL, in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman, bore his testimony, derived from personal experience, to the benefits of total abstinence, physically, mentally, and religiously—and after one or two other addressee and an acknowlegment of the vote from Dr. .IAIPINIZA, the audience separated. MELANCHOLY DEATH or Two Boys.—Yesterday morning, as two lads named Charles and Alfred Miller, twin sons of a co. keeper and grazier residing at Ealing, were driving a cow along • road which crosses the Great Western Railway new the Baling station, the animal stopped upon the down line of rails and could not be got to move on. At this time the quarter past nine ezprem riown train appeared in sight, and one of the brothers did all he could to make the animal proceed. His brother ran to his assistance, and while they were thus engaged the train came up and attack the poor laris, throwing one of them over an adjoining hedge, and *ending the other some distanos on the up line. The train thou passed ever the cow, which wee cut to pieces. When the lads were picked up, it was found they were both dead. They were fourteen years of age, and of very preposesesing appearance.
