HOUSE OF LORDS. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS £'A 1.) (Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham Lord Cranworth, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Wensley. dale, and other peers.) SECOND APPEAL-SCOTS MINES COMPANY AND ANOTHER V. LEADIIILLS MINING COMPANY, ET. AL. The further hearing of this part-heard appeal was re• sumed this morning. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., resumed, and concluded his argu ment for the appellants. Mr. Forsyth, barrister, followed on tho same side. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The present appeal has been taken against various inter locutors pronounced by the Court of Session in Scotland, in a process of suspension and interdict, at the instance of the appellants against the respondents. The mining liber ties at Leadhills, belonging to the Earl of Hopetoun, are partly occupied by the suspender Borrow as assignee to the lessees of the Scots Mining Company, and partly by the respondents as assignees to the leases granted to the original Leadhill Company. The subject of the former leases lie to the north of and lower than the sub jects of the later lease, the ground generally inclining from south to north, and the two neighbouring burns, called the' Glengonnar Burn and the Shortcleugh Burn, running nearly from south to north in Lanarkshire. The 'suspender's liberties are contained in two leases—one granted by the Earl of Hopetoun in 1772, and the other, which was an extension of the former lease, under the same conditions to an additional portion of ground in 1805. The contest is as to the right to the leases of these old mines and water courses thereto belonging. The decision of the judges of the second division of the Court of Session was in favour of the respondent, and hence this appeal. This is the second, and ther9 is also a third appeal relative to the same subjects. The case was proceeding when we went to press. ASSAULT ON AN OLD MAN.—Frank Williams, described as a third mate, of 17, Royal-crescent, Notting-)hill, and Louis Willoughby, grocer, of Princes-street, Dr' try-lane, were charged, the former with assaulting Jeremilah Har rington, and the latter with attempting to rescue title former from custody. From the evidence of the prosecutor, a watchman em ployed in guarding an open sewer near St. Jam es's-market, it appeared that about three o'clock , that mor fling the pri soner Williams made a rush at him, causing b.im to stagger, at the same time holding him tightly and then suddenly let go, causing him to fall on his head and inflicting a ter rible blow on the eye. (The complainant's eye was en veloped in a bandage, and the poor old man appeared to have suffered a good deal from the effects of it.) Williams said it was accidental, and 'he was willing to make pecuniary compensation. Mr. Beadon said he thought that course, under the circumstances, would be the best ; and the case was settled by a sovereignbeing given to the complainant by Williams, and Willoughby being fined 10s. for the attempt at rescue. John Jennings, a little boy of 10, was charged with stealing the ornamental tops of some iron railings in Queen street, Golden-square—the constable stating that the rail ings were in front of a house which had been burnt down, and no owner could be found. Committed for a month. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. MARSHALL AND OTHERS.-THE ILLEGAL SALE OF COAIMISS4ONS IN THE ARMY. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., who appeared for Mr. Marshall, said that, before addressing the jury for his client, he had to contend that there was ne legal evidence against the latter. The learned counsel proceeded to argue that " the taking, having, and receiving money" for an illegal pur pose, as set forth in the 23 counts of the indictment, was not proved according to the provisions of the 49th of George 111., a statute under which the present proceedings were instituted. He then addressed himself to the evidence, and said that according to the statement of Pugh, Mr. Marshall was not to receive any por tion of the £4OO paid for Mr. Cunningham's commission, and that he retained the £lOO out of the £2OO that was to be paid to Pugh in consideration of certain transactions between them previously. And how was the commission obtained ? According to the Clear and explicit statement of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and Sir Chas. Yorke, his commission was granted solely in consequence of the meritorious testimonials that accompanied the last applieation made on behalf of Mr. Cunningham. They also had on record the statement of Sir Charles Yorke, that it was impossible that any undue influence could have been exercised in reference to the commission. In fact, all that Mr. Marshall had to do with the transaction was merely placing Mr. Britson in communication with the firm of Armstrong and Co., and endeavouring, as an army tailor, to obtain an order for the outfit of Mr. Cunningham when he received his commission. He might as well attempt to implicate Mr: Edwards in the affair, as he was the originator of the whole transaction, having advised Mr. Britson to apply to Mr. Marshall, as being a person likely to carry out his object relative to the commission. He contended that the jury had nothing to do with anything 4 that occurred subsequent to the gazetting of Mr. Cunning ham, as the indictment referred to what had previously oc curred respecting the obtaining of the commission. It could not be shown that Mr. Marshall pretended that he had any influence whatever in facilitating the procuring of commissions; and the only scrap of evidence against him was a suggestion which he made in a letter to Mr. Britson that £2O might be given in addition to the £4OO with ad vantage. With respect to the counts charging Mr. Mar shall with conspiring, if the act imputed to him was not illegal, these counts fell to the ground. What induced the other defendants to plead guilty he could not say. Per haps they believed that their conduct was such as brought them within the operation of the law, but it was most unjust to implicate Mr. Marshall with the transaction. He would contend still further that an army agent might be justified, not in receiving an exorbitant amount, but a reasonable sum, for any services he might render to aspirants for commissions, which, from his knowledge and experience, he was in a position to afford. There might be very considerable doubt on the evidence brought forward whether the other defendants, Mortimer and Eicke, had committe4 any offence or impropriety throughout the whole of what had taken place respecting the commission in question. However, as regarded Marshall there was no evidence to show that he had entered into a contract to obtain this commission, for he merely pointed out a course that would probably enable Mr. Britson to effect his object. With respect to Mr. Cunningham, the fact was that the public service had sustained no injury from his appoindment, as he had passed a most creditable examination, and the time- had gone by when any but a qualified person could obtain a commission in the English army. The learned counsel concluded by mite- $ rating the arguments he had previously used and calling on the jury to find a verdict for his client. Mr. Edwin James replied en the whole case, and main tained that Marshall was the most culpable of the parties engaged in the transaction which led to the present indict meat. By the Bth section of the act the commission of Mr. Cunningham was violable as soon as the facts of the case were proved, and the act was passed purposely to protect the public from beingdefrauded by persons like Marshall, and the parties trading under the fictitious title of Arm strong and Co. the defendants had no influence whatever at the Horse Guards, or elsewhere, to enable them to pro mote the obtaining of commissions, and they did not know to what extent they had succeeded in defrauding ignorant pirsons of their money. The only service rendered to Mr. Britson was drawing up a letter for him and telling him to enclose certain testimonials, and yet for that he was called on to pay £4OO. Would not Mr. Cox or any other respectable army agent give this advice if asked without demanding money for it ? Mr. Marshall, in a very excited state addressed the court and said, that he could have proved a case in which Mr. Cox accepted money for obtaining a commission. His Lordship said that he could make any statement he desired through the medium of his counsel. Mr. Marshall said that Mr. Chambers refused to enter into that matter. Mr. M. Chambers explained that he did not feel justified in doing so. His Lordship considered that the learned counsel had exercised a wise discretion. Mr. James resumed and denounced the conduct of the defendants, which, he contended, was calculated to induce a belief that They had the power to corrupt officials in high quarters, and to rob young men of their money under false pretences. His lordship having read the section of the act which constituted the sale of commissions a legal offence, , and ex plained the law relating to conspiracy, charged against Marshall in some counts of the indictment, went through the evidence in detail. The jury, after a brief deliberation, found a verdict of guilty against the defendant. Mr. E. James applied to the court to pronounce judg ment. His lordship said the case was one of much public im portance that he thought it better that judgment should be de3lared by'the full court. Judgment was accordingly deferred.

AUDACIOUS STREET ROBBERY.—An active and well • known thief, who gave the name of James Byrne, but whose real name is Smith, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with the commission of the following impudent robbery. Mrs. Charlotte Cooke, the wife of Mr. Stephen Edward Cooke, of the Dining-rooms, No. 6, Little Argyll-street, Oxford-street, stated that she went to the surgery of Mr. Arnold, in Brook-street, Ratcliff, last night, to have an operation performed upon one of her fingers. She was on her return home, along the Commercial-road, a feW minutes before ten, carrying in her hand a blask bag, containing 15s. in money, some books, and other property, when the prisoner came up to her, snatched her bag and ran away. She pursued him, and screamed aloud, and also called out "stop thief." The prisoner was stopped by a young man, and her bag, money, and property were recovered. The prisoner, a sullen and impudent fellow, here said, "The woman don't know what the bag contained. She said there was only 14s. 6d. in it last night when she was at the station." Mr. Selfe—You can make the most of that when you are before a jury. She now says there was 15s. in the bag. Two young men, named Story and Bissett, said they saw the prisoner running with a black bag in his hand. They seized him by the collar, and took the bag from him. Inspector Dendy, of the H division, said he believed the prisoner had just come out of the Wandsworth House of Correction, where he had been imprisoned for 12 months. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that convictions of the prisoner in that court could be proved without diffi culty. • Mr. Selfe said he had seen some remarks in the news papers attributed to his intelligent and experienced col league, Mr. Yardley, in which he entirely concurred, that it was most important for the proper administration of justice that wherever there had been a previous conviction against a prisoner charged with felony, the police ought to be in a condition to prove the former conviction. In the first place, he could not, under the summary power en trusted to him, sufficiently punish offenders for such auda cious robberies as these; and in the next place, ' where a person had been previously convicted he had no right to convict summarily. After some further discussion, the :prisoner was com mitted for trial, Inspector Dendy undertaking to prove former convictions when the prisoner was tried. THE AFFAIRS OF MESSRS. CALVERT AND COMPANY. The inspectors of the affairs of Messrs. Calvert having issued a proposal for the reconstruction of the brewery on the joint stock principle, with limited liability, accompanied by a form recom mending the unsecured creditors to take over the balance of assets, after paying secured creditors, and accept stock at par, in the proposed company, or debentures payable in 1867, at the rate of £75 for every £lOO of present claim, bearing interest at 5 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly, in satisfaction of their ,claims, a meeting was held yesterday at the London Tavern, in pursuance of the following resolution, unanimously agreed to at a meeting of the deposit creditors on the 11th of May, 1858, to take into consideration such pro posal :—" That this meeting strongly recommends that the proposed three inspectors do allow Mr. Smalley, the chairmim of this meeting, to act on the part of the depositors, and to be allowed to in spect -the - books of the firm that now eitist and which may be in future used ; and that the three inspectors be requested to supply Mr. Smalley with every information that he may require on the part of the depositors, and that Mr. Smalley do report to a future meeting of the depositors, to be con vened when and for such purposes as he may see fit." Mr. SMALLEY addressed the meeting at consider able length, entering into a variety of statistics to prove the soundness of the scheme. He stated that the brewery produced a profit of £45,000 dur ing the last year, and there was no reason to sup pose that, in the event of the formation of a company, its profits would diminish, so that by adopting the step suggested there would be a fair chance of the creditors getting their money, whilst if such a course were not adopted very considerable loss would ensue in the altered circumstances arising out of the deficiency on the sale of the private estates. It was believed that debentures to the extent of about £lOO,OOO would be taken ; but even if they extended to £200,000, there would still remain a considerable dividend from the profits of the brewery after paying the interest on the deben tures, while the debentures being available in the market could be immediately realised. Not a shilling would be required to be invested beyond the amount of the debt, nor would any shareholder be liable to the holders of debentures. Mr. FUNNELL moved a resolution to the effect, " That this meeting having considered the circular of the inspectors of the 14th inst., distributed among the creditors, and also the circular of Mr. Smalley of the 13th inst., convening the present meeting, and having heard the explanation given by lir. Smalley of the altered position of the affairs of Messrs. Calvert and Co., which works to the detriment of the joint estate, are of opinion that it is highly desirable, and in the interest of the credi tors generally, to avoid the fearful consequences of winding-up the estate by a sale of the property, to adopt the suggestion made by the inspectors in their circular of the 14th inst., and that this meet ing resolve to refer the suggestion made to the inspectors, with the request that they will endea vour without delay to carry out the suggestion made by the letter of the 14th inst., and to report to a further meeting of the creditors." The motion was seconded by Mr. VOUSLEY, and, after a lengthened discussion, was carried, there not being more than about half a dozen dissentients. A resolution was then passed, authorising the issue of circulars, and requesting the unsecured creditors to return them signed within a month, expressing their approval or otherwise of the scheme. Another resolution was also passed, re questing Mr. Smalley to continue his supervision of the affairs of the estate, and the proceedings then terminated. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

DWELLINGS OP THE LABOURING CLASSES. MEETING AT HERTFORD. A meeting of noblemen, gentlemen, clergy, and other persons connected witlrthe town and county . of Hertford, was held at the Town-hall, on Satur day last, for the purpose of taking into considera tion the propriety of forming a Building Company with a view to improve and erect dwellings for the working classes. On the motion of the Right Hon. W. COWPER, M.P., seconded by the Hon. and Rev. GODOLPHIN HASTINGS, Lord Raynham, M.P., was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said he felt it a great honour to be called upon to preside over sO influential a meet ing assembled for the important purpose of taking such measures as were in their power to improve the dwellings of the working classes. Mr./ABEL SMITH, M.P., said he had great plea sure in proposing the resolution which had been placed in his hands—" That it is advisable to estab lish a Company in Hertford, to be called the Hert ford Building Company (Limited), for the purpose of improving and erecting dwellings for the labour ing classes, in the county and town of Hertford, with a capital of £5,000 in 1,000 shares of £5 each." Mr. R. DIMSDALE, in seconding the resolution, said he had received several letters in answer to in quiries made by him, furnishing information rela tive to the manner in which the plan proposed to be adopted here, was carried out in other places. At Ramsgate they had a company in connection with the Metropolitan Association, in which 21 per cent. had been paid on allthe shares. At first the profits were only 7s. per share, but now they were 14s. The Liverpool Society had been attended with a similar result. This society expended £4,200 in building, and let their houses at rents varying from 4s. to ss. per week, clearing £2lO or 5 per cent. on each share. He had written to the chairman of the Metropolita* Association, calling attention to what was proposed to be done in Hertford, and was re ferred by him to what had been done at Liverpool. This gentleman recommended that the Local Society or Company should be independent, as there would be some expenses incurred in connect ing it with the Metropolitan Association. What was proposed to be done • here was to obtain a sub scribed capital of £5,000 in shares of £5 each, only £2 10s. being called for on each share. The work ing capital of the company would thus be £2,500. It would cost £BO or £B5 to build a cottage according to plans they had, and supposing they built 20 to begin with, the outlay would be £1,700, leaving £3OO for the purchase of land. This was perhaps more than they would have to give for it, but at Ramsgate they paid £322. £2,000 would thus be expended, leaving £5OO to pay preliminary expenses and form a sinking fund. Then, as to returns, 20 houses let at rents of £6 a-year would produce £l2O. This plan had been tried in other places besides those mentioned by him. A society had been formed at Hastings, and answered well. At first there was only one set of cottages, then two, and now there were four sets, and dividends were paid to the shareholders at the rate of 6 per cent. ; and the Hastings people said they did not see why they might not get rid of all the filthy places in course of time, either directly or by inducing the owners to improve them. Now this was just what they wanted to do in Hertford and other towns in this county—to convert the bad houses into good. A society at Brighton had paid 41 per cent. to the shareholders ; and if they co!ild do this in Brighton, Hastings, and other towns, why should they not do it here. (Hear, hear.) There was a great want of decent houses for the poor in Hertford, and at St. Alban's they were getting quite as bad. What they wanted to do was to make a beginning, to provide model houses, and to show landlords, who would not be unwilling to follow in their wake, that these im proved houses would pay. He could not agree with the remark that it was useless to do anything, un less they pulled down the old houses ; for by build ing cottages they would be drawing poor people away from the miserable places in which they now lived, and by inducing landlords to reconstruct and improve their cottages, they would be constantly diminishing the number of the inferior houses. (Cheers.) He thought they might at all events Make the experiment here, by starting with an acre of land, which they would probably get without difficulty for £2OO. They might then expend £1,700 or £l,BOO in building, leaving £5OO for a sinking fund, an dto launch the scheme. Suppose they failed, the shareholders would not be injured ; for the pro perty would certainly be saleable at an improved value, and the shareholders would get their money hack. They must combine the commercial with the charitable in a movement of this kind, for un til they saw that the thing would pay they would never convince the smaller holders of property, and induce them to improve their cottage property, which was what they wanted todo. The subject was one of the utmost'social importance. In a work of Dr. Southwood Smith's, he read that the annual mortality in London was twenty-three in every 1,000 of persons living, while in the model lodging houses of London the deaths were only 8 in the 1,006 ; showing that there might be an actual sav ing of many thousands of lives a year by the im provement of the dwellings of the poor, and the consequent removal of the preventible causes of disease and death. He had taken a great interest in this matter, and he did not despair of persuading the people of Hertfordshire to adopt the plan now suggested, and which had been successfully carried out in other places. He believed there were more tramps passed through Hatfield than through any other town in the county ; and, if they could build a model lodging-house there, he believed it would answer well. The London Association had amodel lodging-house which paid 17'per cent., and taking all their lodging-houses together, they paid 41-- per cent. These were facts encouraging in a commer cial point of view ; and he was sure they would agree that there few other ways in which they could do so large an amount of good by so small an outlay of money. (Hear.) He had much pleasure in seconding the resolution. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put to the vote, and de clared to be unanimously agreed to. The HIGH SHERIFF (M. H. Gosselin, Esq.), moved the next resolution !—" That those gentlemen who subscribe their names to the memorandum of association for 10 shares and upwards be appointed directors of the company, with power to add to their number." Mr. W. R. BAKER seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. The proceedings then terminated. SOPRTING INTELLIGENCE. THE STATE OF THE SERPENTINE. ...low, if ever, we want Hercules to 'come down to our help. We want him, with his bulky strength and willing arm, to do for us such work as he did in the olden days of Greece, when men were not yet reclaimed from simple savagery, and still stumbled about in swamps and morasses, to escape from the fangs of dragons and the claws of wild beasts. Hercules was the first President of the first Board of Works, and_his presence is now instantly required in London. In the middle of the 19th century, in the very centre of the luxurious capital of the British empire, there exists just such a nuisance as the. Grecian hero would have loved to abate. There is a foul and reeking lake in this London of ours, spreading about its filthy vapours in the polluted air—not in the remote quarters of the town, not in smoky Spitalfielda or watery Wandsworth, where persons of low estate must breathe that plebian atmosphere which is in harmony with their fortunes, but close tothe Rialto of fashion and decorative life. In Hyde Park, we say, under the delusive name of the Serpentine there is a broad lake which has nothing of the sinuous serpent about it but the name and the unpleasant smell. Yet no serpent stinks so foully as the Serpentine even now while these lines are passing from the pen. The sultry heat of the last few days has appealed, not unsuccessfally, to its hidd en virtues. It is not with this filthy pool as with the reeking Thames. There is here no ebb and flow of abomination —no churning up of a polluted stream—but a calm, dig nified monotony of evil smell. It is in itself enough to breed a pestilence, and yet the " Upper Ten Thousand" of London have selected its banks for purposes of health and recreation. On the northern bank rows of carriages three deep pass on daily at a foot's pace, filled with the wives, and sisters, and daughters of the noblest and wealthiest in the land. On the southern shore you may see every after noon for six days of the week hundreds of fair young girls on horseback, undermining their con stitutions and listening to regimental music. Why should all these noble and wealthy and beautiful people congregate so sedulously round such a sheet of filth P We English are certainly a strange people. We are pre-eminently seekers after country air, and lovers of breezy uplands, and bubbling streams, where the trout with its bright spots may be seen far down in quiet pools, and yet our senators legislate for the empire in chambers where chloride of lime is a necessary of life. If the minds of our great ones are set upon a banquet of unusual delicacy,_ they go down to Greenwich, and hold their noses even while they hold the feast. During the height of the season our most fashionable people take their habitual exercise and pastime by riding, driving, or walking round a most abominable pond which is enough to breed the cholera, had it not given the preference to the Indus and the brighter beams of the Asiatic sun. The Serpentine is a most positive nuisance. We entreat any one who may doubt the truth of our assertion to satisfy himself by personal investiga tion of the real state of the case. Within the last few days the miasmata which it emits had become so offensive that speedy aetion must be taken in the matter, or evil will surely follow, which we shall all deplore when it is too late. In the earlier part of the season some feeble attempts were made to abate the virulence of the stench by casting into' this metropolitan lake certain modicums of lime. There are traces of the presence of this palliative ea the banks, as though to mark how the nymph Serpentine had spurned the purifying agent from her dirty breast. You might as well have administered a seidlitz powder to a dead body in the hope of staying the progress of cor ruption. There is but one thing to do, which is to drain the lake thoroughly, as was done with the sheet of ornamental water in the gardens of St. James's-park, N. half measures will be of the slightest avail. We do not, of course, mean to say that this can be done just now, when things are at their worst. To expose the coagulated filth of the Ser pentine to the action of a July sun would probably be to send the inhabitants of Knightsbridge, Ken sington, and Mayfair out of the world, or out of town before the 12th of August. Till the colder weather returns such palliatives as are possible must be applied, and when the summer has passed away let the only real and effective remedy be ap plied. The Serpentine must be drained; what pol lutions are poured into it, or percolate into it, must be diverted into another channel ; the bottom must be left exposed for a certain and sufficient period to the purifying influences of the air, and finally be dealt with as was the bottom of the ornamental water in St. James's-park. This is no idle specu lation. We have present before our eyes, or, what ire- perhaps more important, our-nases, the results of an operation of the kind. Why should not that which has once succeeded so admirably succeed again ? The purification of the St. James's waters has s proved one of the most gratifying improvements of the metropolis in our time. lire are therefore most anxious to see the results of our experience brought to bear upon a nuisance similar in kind, but far more intense in degree. There is some probability that the desired change will be carried out, inasmuch as the rule of Lord John Manners at the Board of Works is at an end, and now Mr. Fitzroy reigns in his stead. This gentleman has already established for himself the character of an intelligent and industrious ser vant of the public. We entreat him to consider that the attention of the metropolitan public—that is, of 3,000,000 persons, to say the least, not inferio r i n understanding clic' influence to any in the British empire —is keenly directed to the proceedings of his office. A good redile has already made sure his footing on the slippery path of public life. No doubt, the hands of any gentleman who is appointed to preside over the Board of Works are much ham- pered by that other Board with which he must so frequently co-operate. A zealous and capable man placed in the position which Mr. Fitzroy now oc cupies will, however, always take the lead, and always be able to gibe the bias to public action in this department of administration.—Tistes. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY. We stated about a fortnight since that the committee of Tattersall's were anxious to employ Sergeant Langley (late of the Detective Force) to protect the " Ring" and the public from the robberies committed by persons under the denomination of " Welchers." In order to carry out this laudable intention a book to receive subscribers' names was opened this afternoon. The proposed subscription is one sovereign per year, and many gentlemen have already en tered their names. We trust that the subscription book will speedily contain the signature of every member of the Room.

The animal, an Isle of Skye terrier, after jumping up at the gas burners, and endeavouring to force its way through the aperture at which the passengers pay their fares—much to the alarm of the collector—made its way through one of the side windows into an adjoining yard and back again. At this moment a sailor entered the sta tion, and with great courage, while the dog was running wildly about in one corner of the building, he approached the animal, and succeeded in securing it by thrusting his jacket over its head, and carried it out of the station to a place of safety. It was afterwards stated that the owner of the dog immediately ordered it to be destroyed. TVINTER TRANSIT ON THE ICE. More than 10,000 miles of the rivers and waters of the North and West are frozen during from four to five months of the year, completely isolating the inhabitants in some localities during the entire winter months. The richest copper and iron mines, and the most valuable lumber regions, as those of Lake Superior, are cut off, not only from means of transportation for their products and articles of consumption, but even the means of communication are wanting, so that for months together the mails are transported by half-bred Indians moving on snow shoes. Even along the course of the rivers of the winte rs o ft en i nterrupts travel. u p by snow where railroads are proj ec t e d and al re ady exist the severity Illinois Central ro a d was bl oc k ed for The six weeks duri ng th e w i nter o f 1856-7, and the machinery was b ro k en b y t h e f ro st, causing serious damage and delay. The enhanced expenses o f running the trains in winter on some of these roads more than consumes the profits of the summer busi ness. On the Northern Railroad, from Toronto to Georgian-bay, in Upper Canada, it has been found necessary to s uspend operations during the winter, and the Governme nt last winter p rohibite d the running of trains on its tracks. Much of the damage arises from the severe concussion which, with the unequal co ntraction and expansion, breaks the wheels and injures the rails. The introduction of the steam ice-carriage, frozen sur movi ng face of the riton runners in place d f wheels, upon the ersan lakes, instead of the iron way, and thus using the natural ice roads, which are formed and kept in repair by the winter itself, will to a great extent obviate these difficulties, and afford even better facilities to the traveller in winter than in summer. Impressed with the value of this new mode of com munication by steam, certain citizens of Prairie du Chien, in Wisconsin, have purchased the right to use upon the Upper Mississippi a newly-invented steam ice-carriage, first constructed last wint er . In addition to this, arrangements are making to open a great north-western route by the way of the Mississippi, St. Peter's, Red River of the North, Lake Winnepeg, and the Sas katchewan River, from Prairie du Chien, through a pass of the Rocky Mountains, to he head waters of the Fraser and Columbia rivers, the foun tains of which rivers, emptying into the Pacific Ocean, are but 317 yards from the fountain of the Saskatchewan and its affluents.
