AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CUBA. (Via Roche's Point.) NEw YORK, April 18 (Afternoon). The House of Representatives has adopted a re solution requesting the production of the correspon dence wi'bh France, regarding the withdrawal of the French from Mexico, which has been received since the correspondence communicated to the House in January last. All despatches having reference to an specific promise on the part of Napoleon to stop proceedings and discontinue Imperialism in yElicowere especially asked for. 3Le Reconstruction Committee have submitted to the House various testimony concerning the con dition of the South. Ex Vice-President Stephens testified that the people of Georgia were exceed ingly anxious to resume their constitutional position in the Union, and the question is improving in all its &Teets. Resolutions endorsing Mr. Johnson's policy have been defeated in the Texas Convention. The New York Herald states that Mr. C. C. Clay has been released c onditionally. He will report himself to the authorities when called upon. The New York Times declares that Austria has no pretest for sending troops to Mexico, and that the United States should resist the landing of Austrian soldiers by force of arms. The President has appointed Mr. Henry Smyth, a banker, collector of customs at New York. The appointment has no political significance. One hundred and thirty additional deaths have taken place on board the steamer England at Halifax. The disease is decreasing, and there is no sickness among the cabin passengers. The Halifax physicians pronounce the disease to be decidedly cholera. The steamer Vera Cruz, from New York for Vera Cruz, has been wrecked. The crew and pas senvrs were saved. The Saxonia and the City of New York have arrived out. General Meade and staff have left for Eastport, it is supposed in connection with Fenian matters. The Washington authorities have forwarded instruc tions to EcistPo that the neutrality la ws s h ou ld b e rt strictly enforced. Th e Fenian's continue to gather, h o ld meet i ngs, and receive arnu3 in different towns along the New Brunswick frontier. The United States gunboat Winooski is cruising off Eastport. A FeJeral revenue cutter has cap tured a suspicious brig off the coast and taken her into Eastport. Nine armed Fenians are stated to have landed on Indian Island, near Eastport, and stolen the British revenue flag. There was no one on the island to prevent the theft. Doran Killian has addressed a meeting at Calais, - Maine. Ile stated that the Fenian Bro therhood now numbered one million of men. The Fenians would continue to hold meetings along the border until the Confederatiou question was settled. If the people of the provinces revolted against the Confederation the Fenians would assist them. The Fenians, he said, would see the fishery question justly settled by England relinquishing un warrantable claims. He denied that the Fenians would invade the Provinces, but refused to give his reason for endea vouring to assemble an armed force along the fron tier. He besought American sympathy and aid. The meeting was not enthusiastic, and the applause came from the Fenians at a signal from the plat form. The Governor of Maine sent his Adjutant- General to Calais to see that the State laws were not violated. It is reported that a Fenian expedi tion is in preparation which would embark at Ogdensburg and descend the St. Lawrence. A. document has been circulated among the crew of the British gunboat off Campo Belo with the object of inducing the men to join the Fenians. A mutiny is reported to have broken out on board the gunboat, in consequence of which 40 men were put in irons. A schooner laden with arms for Doran Killian has been seized At Eastport, and subsequently re leased. The United States squadron for duty at the Fisheries will consist of seven vessels, mounting fifty guns, commanded by an acting rear-admiral. They will rendezvous at Eastport, and remain there until the Fenian excitement has subsided. The United States Government has chartered a steamer to send a company of regular troops from Portland to Eastport. The Fenian Head Centre at Buffalo has purchased a powerful steam tug at that place. MONTREAL, April 17. Government detectives are stated to have reported that the Fenians have nearly ready for armament on Lakes Erie and Michigan fifteen vessels, besides schooners and transports loading field artillery.. Colonel Wheeler, late of the Confederate army, has been arrested in Cornwall, Canada. He held a commission from Sweeney to recruit a Fenian battalion, and a copy of the Fenian oath was found upon him. He confidently declared that Sweeney would liberate him. The examination of Fenian prisoners at Corn wall is conducted with closed doors. ST. JOHN'S, April 17. Volunteers continue to assemble at St. Andrew's and St. Stephen's. The Governor of New Bruns wick in addressing them said that if the Fenian affair was a hoax it was one of the most serious ever concocted. It is believed that the incoming Ministry will suspend the Habeas Corpus Act. The ship Simoom has arrived here, with the Ist battalion of the 22d Regiment from Malta. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS, A patent has been taken out for a newore grinder and amalgamator by Mr. H. A. Gaston, of Austin, Nevada. It consists in a rotating screw operating in connection with a case or cylinder surrounding the said screw, and placed within the ordinary amalgamating pan in such a way that when the screw is rotated in one direction it will grind or mash the ore or pulp in contact with the quicksilver placed in the bottom of direction said . pan, and when revolved in an Opposite circulation tion will cause a con tinuous agitation or . within the pan of the ore or pulp and the intermixed therewith, by which means quicksilver -thiolvrt:orugh grinding i metals con of the ore and the amalgamation of teitnhsured. It tained therein is said to be effectually also consists in a novel arrangement to the case or cylinder just mentioned reference and to the amalgamating pan, of partitions with sloping s id es, Which insure the proper passage of the ore or pulp from the amalgamating pan into the said case. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has decided that the vote of 1840 giving the negroes of that State the right of suffrage is constitutional, and they have the right to vote. THE SEAWORTHINESS OF THE AMERICAN MONI TO118•--When. the United States iron-clad Monad nock arrived at Valparaiso on the I st of M arch, it may be estimated that according to the route taken, stopping places, she had run quite six thousand mil This voya ge , exceB since she left the United States.

He called General Grant yesterday, and the General returned')n the compliment this morning. The conversation naturally turned on Southern affairs and recon struction. :llr. Stephens reiterates his positive convictions that the people of Georgia are sincere in their expressions of submission and future loyalty, and naturally desires the speedy admission of her representatives.—N ew York, Tribune, April 10. PETROLEUM IN IVIISSISSIPPL—The Mississippi and Alabama Oil and Mining Company has just been started at Columbus, Miss., with a capital of $300,000 in 6,000 shares of $5O each, plr value. PETROLEUM IN ALABAMA.---The New Orleans Times says :—" A private letter, received in this city, states that oil has been struck by parties who were boring for it at Gadsden, Alabama, on the Coosa River, and that the whole country there abouts was in a state of intense oleaginous excite ment. Several prominent oil-promising regions of our own State have recently exchanged hands at high figures, and already the work of boring has been commenced near Lake Charles, on the Cale asieu River, where a sandstone formation was struck at a depth of 120 feet. Quite a number of natural oil springs have been found in the same vicinity and in the interior of the State. A valuable spring has also been discovered within two miles of Red River, above the raft, and the prospects on the Ouachits River, in Arkansas, is extremely flattering. PETROLEUM IN COLORADO TERRITORY.—The Leavenworth Conservative says :—" Mr. Cassidy, managing the oil wells near Canon City, Colorado, has taken 700 gallons of refined to Denver for sale—the first oil from far Western wells, which pump from 25 to 30 barrels daily." America still keeps its superiority in the article of " enormous lying." _ For example, the Maine Farmer tells a story of a man whom it calls Neverbeat. Somebody having boasted of the speed of his horse, Neverbeat rejoined, " Why, the other day I was up to sixteen miles distant. Just as I started for home a shower came sweeping on. The rain struck in the back part of the waggon, and the moment it struck I hit old Kate a cut with the whip. Away she trotted, scarcely touching her fore-feet to the ground she kept just nip and nip with the shower. The waggon was filled with water, but not a drop fell on me ! " The new Naval and Military Club, Cambridge House, the late residence of Lord Palmerston, was opened to members on Tuesday week. The Christian Index, an American paper, thus prefaces an obituary :--4 But a week since we re corded the death of one who was an old father in the Church, a careful reader of the Index, and who paid for three papers in advance." Certain German gentlemen in New York have, for and in consideration of the sum of 60,000 greenback dollars, purchased the right and title in and unto four lots, 50 feet by 205, situate in Fourteenth and Fifteen streets, midway between the Second and Third avenues, and forthwith they will proceed to erect thereon a theatre capable of ac commodating about 2,000 persons. The locality is certainly desirable ; and if the right kind of amusement be offered the new theatre would re ceive liberal patronage.—Orchestra. WONDERFUL LNVENTION.—A correspondent of an American scientific journal sends it a very long communication about an apparatus to record the inclination of a legislative or other assembly during a speech, as well as to indicate it, so that the speech might be stopped when the majority got tired of it. American papers record the death of one Mrs. Forbes, of Ashfield, Massachusetts, at the age of 103, and state that she lived to see her descendants to the fifth generation. Her father died at the age of 90, and her mother died in her 100th year. Among her ten brothers and sisters but one died under 80 years, the others reaching 90 and up wards. Dr. Livingstone arrived at Zanzibar on the 28th January. He lost all his Indian buffaloes, except four, on the voyage ; but although he will not, as he anticipated, have the use of them as beasts of burden, still he has sufficient left to enable him to make a trial as to whether they will withstand the bite of the " Tzetze" fly, the scourge of that part of Africa which he intends visiting. Win AND NAVY EXPENSES.—The disbursement of the Treasury Department of the United States on account of the War and Navy Department, for the quarter ending 31st March, were as follows :—War Department for January, $25,251,936; War Depart ment for February, $15,401,395 ; War Department for March, $8,608,981. Navy Department for January, $3,547,656; Navy Department for Feb ruary, $3,032,006 ; Navy Department for March, $4,583,044. The one million increase in the Navy expenses for March was occasioned by large remit tances abroad for the use of vessels on foreign sta tions. Ten years ago, one barrel of petroleum a week, or fifty barrels a year would overstock the market. Now more than two barrels a year are an insuffi cient supply. If the productions were to fall short of that amount, it would create a panic in the mar ket and largely advance the price. The enormous profits of the National Bank Note Company of Yew York have come out in a recent law suit. During five months in 1863 it paid dividends from its accumulated surplus earnings, amounting to 310 per cent. The $5O shares of the company are now worth $735. There are about 3,000 coloured people in Boston. They are generally quiet and industrious, and some of them are worth $50,000 a piece. They support five coloured churches. Kentucky is the only State of the thirty-six that has not adopted the constitutional amendment. Gen. Schenck has been authorised by the Military Committee to report to the house his bill fixing the pay of Army Officers. It cuts off all commutations and subsidies, and makes the annual pay of a Lieutenant-General at $12,000 ; Major-Generals, when in the field or in command of a Department, $7,500; on other duty, $6,500; Brigadier-Gene rals, when commanding a division, department, or an army, $5,000 ; when commanding a brigade, $4,000 ; Colonels, when commanding a brigade or military post, $3,500 ; when commanding a regi ment or other duty, $3,000 ; Lieutenant-Colonels, $2,600 ; Majors, $2,200 ; Captains, $2,000 ; First Lieutenants, $1,500; Second Lieutenants, $1,200. When an officer is absent on furlough over thirty days, except when sick or wounded, his pay will be reduced 30 per cent. for all the time he is absent over thirty days. All surgeons, chaplains, military storekeepers, and other officers, having assimilated or declared rank, shall be paid according to the above rates. SOUTHERN WOMEN WORKING.—The Richmond (Va.) Republic asserts that it is a fact " known to everybody that throughout Virginia, and all through the South, ladies who were the recognised leaders of society have betaken themselves to the needle for the support of their families, and are toiling indus triously and as cheerfully in that vocation as if they had been bred to it from their childhood. Not only this, but in many instances they have performed the household duties, the cooking and other work, once exclusively done by their menials." All this was done long ago by Northern women, who never boasted of their industry. General Burnside has been elected Governor of Rhode Island by a vote approaching unanimity.

Governxuent Stocks Were last quoted at a frac tional reduction on tho previous week ; the decline was attributable to some large amounts put on the market, more particularly 7-30 Bonds. In Railroad Stocks there has been a very active business, the chief operations being in Erie, New York Central, Cleveland and Pittsburg, and Readings, but after some heavy fluctuations, the quota tions little varied from those reported in our last. The principle feature of the week had been the operations in Michigan Southern, which had been so largely oversold, that while the price on the sth for cash was 106, they could be bought for delivery on the 7th at 84 ; the " bears " thus having to pay 22 per cent. for the loan of stock for two days. Previous to the departure of the steamer, the speculative account in this stock had been pretty well arranged, and quotations had returned to about the former level, 80 to 81. Money was reported quite easy, 5 per cent. being readily taken on Government, and 6 per cent. on Railroad Stocks. State Stocks remained firm. The National Bank of Nash ville was advertising that they were prepared to convert all the past due Coupons on Tennessee Six per Cent. State Bonds into new Six per Cent. Bonds, issued in accordance with the Act of Legislature. Gold continued with a downward tendency, and ex change on London was quoted as low as 106-i.

But there is something to hope. The President stands firm, the Supreme Court takes Southern cases on trial of appeal, "as of course ;" the Nort-West is growling;, and in New Jersey and New York the Conser vative elemeßt musters strong ; Radical Legislatures are going out and more moderate men coming in—the strife is becoming more equal, and in peace let us wait till, to alter the fable, between the bull and the bear can come in the lion to decide the day.

(From the Mobile Register, Marc% 27.) The South will not purchase political privileges to which it is entitled by the constitution of the country at the price of diehonour. Indeed, the South has made all the concessions it means to make to restoration. First, because it has done enough ; and second, because faith has not been kept with it in what it has done. We were promised amnesty for the past and cordial political brother hood for the future, if we would submit to certain conditions, which were hard, because they were opposed to traditional habits and instincts. We kept our part of thee bargain, but it has been broken to the hope, and insult paid down instead in the other. We have no other bargains to make. (From the Mobile Times, March 27.) A friend drew from his pocket, yesterday, a carte de visite, with an ambrotype portrait, and called our attention to the excellent likeness of the noble original. " That man," said he, " will be Presi dent of the United States one of these days." " That man," sceptical reader, was Robert E. Lee, of Vir ginia, the " rebel" descendant of the " rebel" George Washington. Stranger things have hap pened in this strange and variable world, especially in this mutable America, where the currents of popular opinion run like mill-races, in whatever channels circumstance, fashion, and passion exca vate for themselves. When the American people do make Lee their President, they will get an honest man, a brave cavalier, and a gentleman for that exalted post. The Conflict between Congress and the President. The Times, which has been Mr. Johnson's champion from the beginning of the present diffi culty between him and the American Congress, now admits that the appearance of the Veto of the Civil Rights Bill was inopportune and seems to have influenced unfavourably the vote of both Houses on the Civil Rights Bill. There were, moreover, expressions in the preamble that amount not only to a protest against the indefinite continuance of provisional government in the South, but to an explicit adoption of the State-rights principle. Now it is certain that many who have little sympathy with the views of Mr. Sumner's party, and who shrink from negro suffrage, are not prepared for the immediate application of the prin ciple of State-rights for the restoration of the South. To provide legal guarantees for the pro tection of negroes before re-admitting the South to the Union is only going one step beyond the position taken by Mr. Johnson himself. He insists as strong as any man on the necessity of imposing some previous conditions, though he objects to the conditions proposed by the Republicans. In this respect the question raised by the Civil Rights Bill differs considerably from that involved in the re organisation of the Freedmen's Bureau. That in stitution belonged naturally to a state of war, and was never meant to last more than a year after the proclamation of peace. In declining to sanction its permanent establishment, the President merely resisted a scheme for keeping the South in a condi tion of subjection only to be maintained by military force. In Vetoing the Civil Rights BilL he went further, and virtually disputed the competence of Congress to prescribe the terms upon which the seceding States should be allowed to resume their place in the Union. In his view the latter are absolutely entitled to exercise their former Con stitutional rights on proof of their " loyalty ; " and he seems to recognise but two tests of loyalty—the abolition of slavery and the repudiation of the Con federate debt. In the view of his Republican op ponents the Southern States have deprived them selves of representation in Congress by their own act of wilful rebellion, are not in a position to claim re-admission as a right, and the Northern States are perfectly justified in taking ample security for their future good behaviour. The Daily Telegraph remarks that a month ago it seemed as though the weighty and powerful states- , man who now fills the Executive chair at Wash ington was destined to prevail against wordy orators, of whom in the main the two Houses are composed ; but within the last fortnight there have been indications that the public feeling of the North, Johnson huro n ere : bui snan v oyea e nk ? n z hn o i fnag t h e yaagainsta and dDt awakened with k e e i e n p no endorsingrec edrsa which. /tdi the en at.the City hu etsl the policyei suspicious f i Southerno u u s l New d iof s a e e Ao Y m un o ss r dyt k t ar het of is vfs t s the victorious States, and has made Northerners believe that the President and the " Rebels " are working together to effect " in close design by fraud and guile what force effected not." The cry of " Copperhead " is loudly applied to Mr. Johnson, and the memories of the war are still too fresh and recent for men to forget that only thirteen months ago a " Copperhead " meant " a sympathiser with Rebellion." Upon the use which may be made by the two Houses of their triumph over the head of the State will dependthe significance of the measure they have carried in despite of his veto. But it is inclined, considering the super-heated atmo sphere which American politicians have long been inhaling, to augur the worst. With a view to making themselves undisputed masters of the situa tion, nothing can be more tempting to the Houses of Congress than to impeach the President. On the very instant of his impeachment—and provi sions for the process are elaborately furnished by the Constitution—his power is actually suspended. Many months would probably elapse before he could either be found guilty or acquitted of the charge under which he might be arraigned. In the interim Charles Sumner in the Senate, and Thaddeus Stevens in the House of Representatives, would " ride in the whirlwind and direct the storm." The Times calls upon the Americans to look into the mirror of British history for instruction in the present conjuncture of their affairs. The Southern ers are prepared to shake hands, but the Northerners will not have it. They are resolved to keep their late enemies out of the pale of the Constitution, to disarm them by the infliction of civil disabilities, to punish them for their recent malignancy by political outlawry, to restrain them by penal statutes, to in troduce among them obnoxious principles supported by force, and thus in the heart of the South to esta blish Northern ascendancy. Of course they do not profess to be doing all this in perpetuity. There is, no doubt, much to be said for the policy of the American Radicals. In fact, their argument is reasonable, but it is not so reasonable as the opposite. It is the case of Ireland over again. We had reason at the time, and as things went, for all our penal legislation ; it was only in later days that we discovered the error of our policy. We found that exclusion and proscription did not convert con quered rebels into good subjects, but that the ideas which we desired to efface rather grew and throve under persecution. We found ourselves with a source of political danger where there should have been a source of political strength, and were com pelled to witness " the difficulty" of one portion of the empire recognised with eagerness as " the op portunity" of the other. Disaffection and hostility still lingered after their causes had been removed, and at length, years after a policy of liberality and conciliation had been i naug urated, we have the Fenian conspiracy to remind us of bygone blun ders. The armour-plated screw steamship Prince Con sort, 31, left Plymouth on Saturday to resume her duties at Queenstown. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. The traffic return of this company for March shows a decrease of £11,390 as compared with March of last year, but still this is a much smaller decrease than that shown by many important lines, and is really very satisfactory ; compared for instance with the Michigan Southern, on eleven miles more, the traffic only is $23,913 more ; yet the Michigan Southern is a road so well thought of in America that its stock commanded 80 to 81 at date of last advices. Again, compared with the Marietta and Cincinnati, which line is 283 miles in length, or just about half that of the Atlantic and Great-Western, its traffic, if doubled to correspond with the mileage, would only amount to $165,820, or less than one-half per mile of the receipt of the Atlantic and Great Western. Take again a comparison with some of our English Railroads, the London and South-Western for example, which is now working 500} miles, and took for the four weeks in March £86,037, whilst the Atlantic and Great Western take in sterling at 4s. to the dollar (the only fair way of reckoning as expenses are paid in the same cur rency as is received) is £77,696; so that here, in March, which is one of the worst months for traffic in America, we have a result approaching that of our London and South-Western, than which no English Railway probably is in a sounder condition. The London Market for American securities has, during the past week, been mainly influenced by the conflicting rumours touching political affairs on the continent. The course of business has been considerable sales on German account, which have been met by orders for purchases for shipment to New York. At the close there seemed to be a renewed demand for all descriptions, United States 5-90 Bonds closing 701 to 1, an improvement of half per cent. since our last. Illinois Shares have fluctuated between 80 and 82, and leave off firm at 80 to 1. Erie; on large forced sales, were at one time sold down to 511, but from this low quotation there has been a reaction, and they leave off about 521, with a firmer aspect than we have observed for some days past, OFFICIAL TRANSACTIONS FOR THE WEEK.—United States 5 per Cent.

We are not ashamed to confess that we expected the doctrine of peaceable soccs3ion to be admitted on the basis of professions which we publish else where in this issue ; and we believed the age of conquest to have passed away. Mistaken as we were, it yet remains to be determined whether the South has not suffered for being too far ahead, rather than from having fallen behind the time ; and whether the parties on the other side, both actors and interested spectators, will not finally be compelled to reach through many throes the political idea involved in the course of the seceding States. had their course been accepted according to their own construction, free Government would at once have attained to dignities and advantages which are now far in the future, beyond struggles of the most trying and dangerous character. The time will come when political issues as fundamental as those raised by the South must be decided with out war, and the worst judgment then passed upon her will embody nothing more than the charge of having been premature. As to principle, we have no fear. The success involves nothing of that kind, because the war was made for commerce and em pire, and not for an idea or a doctrine. (From the Augusta Constitutionalist, Jlarch 22.) No wonder that the saints of New England are on their mettle and would turn the bayonets that pinned the Union together to the utter rending in tatters of the Federal Constitution. Cold steel has been invoked before by legislative bodies, and the saints are well enough read to remember how Pride's pikemen purged the Parliament house as they would winnow the Capital—how the Commons set up a scaffold at Whitehall as they would erect a gibbet in Pennsylvania avenue—how the National Assembly worked the guillotine and robbed the rich as they, too, would play Jack Ketch at the gallows and Captain Macheath with each honest man's purse. Patience has its limits, and these gentry had better beware. Desperate measures often betray weak ness of cause, and if this impudent menace be but the frothing of moribund malice, the people can and will wait in patience the noisesome end of the radi cal party. But if there be so much madness, even among these madmen, as to essay in reality the violence threatened, it were better the men who essay it had never been born. (From the Memphis Appeal, March 28.) The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republican says the compromise resolutions of Mr. Stewart of Nevada amount to nothing less than the adoption in substance of the radical programme in all its length and breadth. They present to the people of the South the alternative of degradation and social demoralisation, or indefinite seclusion from the benefits of the Union. For it cannot be doubted that unrestricted negro suffrage in the South involves a bloody conflict of races, or African representation in all the departments of the public administration, State and Federal. In some of the states it would give to the negroes absolute political predominance over the whites; and in all of them they would hold such balance of power as would secure to them practical control of the elections. Venal demagogues in the South, and wicked emis saries from the North would not be wanted to manipulate and combine this servile element, to promote their schemes of sordid ambition, of sec tional malice, and of party aggrandisement. Can it be supposed that a proud and brave people would long endure such domination —such disgrace and humiliation ? (From time Augusta Constitutionalist, March 27.) Other matters there are, too long now to num ber, that go to show if the Radicals be mighty, causes in operation opposition to greatthere elements n o y f theh t e o lp b o r f in g g o u o p d government against them. The debates of the day are but the precluding skirmish. The great struggle itself will ere long open. The result one way or another is yet uncertain, but let the South be patient, let it be hopeful, and, above all, let it be firm. For four years it did and endured many things for independence, and surely forsome months it can still wait and labour for the hour that shall set Constitutional Liberty on the hazard of the day. There is great danger, it is true. Wealth and popu- Railway and other Companies. GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. The report of the directors states that the average number of miles worked by the company during the half year was 601.8, as compared with 565.1 miles in the corresponding half of 1864. This increased mileage was owing to the opening for traffic on Feb. 1, 1865, of the Thull Ghat incline from Kussarah to Egutpoora, 9f miles ; on Nov. 20, 1865, from Bhos sawul to Bhoorhanpoor, on the main line to Jubbul poor, 34 miles ; and on Dec. 18, from Sheagaum to Budnaira, on the Nagpoor branch, 721 miles ; total, 1154 miles. The gross receipts of the half year ending Dec. 31 last, on revenue account, amounted to £617,969, or £1,027 per mile, against £313,175, or £554 per mile in the half-year ended Dec. 31, 1864. The expenditure of the half-year amounted to £368,387, or 59.61 per cent. of the re ceipts, against £229,462, or 73.26 per cent. in same period of 1864, leaving £249,582 as net profit to be carried to the credit of the company's interest ac count with the Government. A further length of 86 miles of line was expected to be opened about the present time—viz., from Boorhanpoor and Kundwa, on the main line to Jubbulpoor, 424 miles; and from Budnaira to Kowta, on the Nagpoor branch, a distance of 431 miles ; and also that the main lines as far as Etarsee (Hoosingabad) on the way to Jubbulpoor, and the whole of the Nagpoor branch might be opened for traffic early next year. The opening to Kundwa would connect the railway with the direct road to Indore, and with the fertile territories of 11.1I.Holkar and H.H. Scindia,whence a large and increasing traffic for the railway might be anticipated. 'The contractors for the sec tion of line, 1164 miles, from Sohagpoor Jubbul poor, having apprised the directors in September last that they were unable to complete their contract on the existing terms, it was closed. The chief resi dent engineer had every reason to believe from the manner in which the works had been recommenced that this important section connecting the two great trunk lines of India would proceed rapidly. Upon the South-East line the contract for the construc tion of the remaining section from Kulburga to Raichoor (the junction with the Madras Railway), 881 miles in length, was in December last let to Mr J. Bray, and thus the works of the entire under taking were in progress. It had been decided, with the sanction of the Government, to double at once the portion of the railway (1904 miles) between Egutpoora at the top of the Thull Ghat incline and Bhosawal, the point of junction of the main line to Jubbulpoor and Nagpoor branch. It had also been decided to double the section (29 miles) between Callian Junction and Kurjut at the bottom of the Bhore Ghat incline on the south-east line. The line being at present double from Bombay to Callian and upon both Ghats, and the works of doubling being already in progress from Callian to Kussarah at the foot of Thull Ghat, the line would, by the doubling of those additional sections, be made a double line from Bombay throughout to Bhosawal, 2754 miles, on the north-east line ; and from Bombay to La nowlee at the top of the Bhore Ghat incline, 79+ miles, on the south-east line. The gross traffic of the past half year had been at the rate of £39 10s. per mile per week, which exceeded the estimate of traffic for a single line ; and the average receipts for the 11 weeks of the current half year from Ist Jan. last, being equal to £56 per mile per week, thus establishing conclusively that the decision to double the line to Bhosawul and to Kurjut had not been arrived at a moment too soon. The sanctioned share capital of the company amounted to £13,000,000 and the debentures to £3,000,000, giving .a total authorised capital of £16,000,000. Of that amount £13,910,676 had been paid up to Dec. 31 ; the expenditure to the same date amounted to £13,020,143, leaving a balance then in hand of £890,533. MADRAS. The report of the directors states that on the south-west line and its Bangalore branch a very considerable increase in traffic and profits had taken place, while the extension of the north-west line to Cuddapa had been followed by a still more impor tant advance in its traffic and returns. This exten sion of 40 miles in length was opened on the Ist of September last. Compared with the corresponding half of the previous year, the average mileage worked over on the company's two lines together hAcl been 598 miles against 538 miles ; the number of passengers carried was 903,405, agninst 766,826; of goods, 164,910 tons, against 137,086 tons, the railway materials being excluded. The aggregate traffic receipts had been £225,112, against £169,564 in the same half of 1864, being an increase of £55,518, or 32 per cent. ; and the net receipts had been £131,500, against £83,688, being an increase of £47,812, or 57 per cent., over those in the same half of the previous year. Those favourable results were partly due to changes in the traffic and classi fication, which came into operation on the Ist of November last. The permanent way works and rolling-stock had been well maintained, and the re quirements of the increased traffic fully met. The works and surveys of the further portion of the North-west line and its Bellary branch had been steadily prosecuted, and the board were assured that it would be completed to the junction with the Great Indian Peninsula Railway at Raichore by the time that line was ready to join it. A further section of 32 miles of the line beyond Cuddapa was expected to be opened by Midsummer. The shipment of material, plant, and stores during the year 1865 amounted to 44,352 tons in 75 ships. The cost of maintenance of way and works for the whole line had averaged £169 per mile per annum ; for the western section, £164 ; while for the Bangalore branch, which was entirely laid with iron sleepers, the cost had been only at the rate of £74 per mile per annum. The total receipts for the past half-year on the south west line amounted to £192,055 against £157,343 for the corresponding half of 1864, showing an increase of £34,712, or 22 per cent. The expenses amounted to £84,681, or 44 . 09 per cent., against £80,624, or 51.24 per cent., showing an increase of only £4,057 ; and the net receipts amounted to £107,374, against £76,719 for the corresponding half of 1864, showing an increase of £30,655, or 40 per cent. The receipts per train mile were 6s. 61d., against ss. 7.1 d. for the same half of 1864, and the expenses 2s. 101 d. per train mile, against 2s. 10:1d. The cost of wood fuel was about half that of coal or coke upon the railway, and the improvements that had been effected in the spark-catching apparatus applied to the locomotives had now rendered the use of wood fuel comparatively safe. The opening of the North-west line to Cuddapa on the Ist September increased its mileage to 119 miles, but the average length worked over for the half-year was only 106 miles. The number of pas sengers carried in th e h a lf-y ear was 149,536, aga i ns t 102,767, and the tonnage of goods, exclusive of rail way materials, 29,588 tons, against 21,051 tons in the corresponding half of 1864. The total receipts on the North-west line for the past half-year amounted to £33,058, against £12,221 ; the expenses to £8,932, or 27.01 per cent., against £5,253, or 42 . 98 per cent., and the net receipts to £24,126 against £6,969 in the samehalf of 1864. The receipts per train mile were 7s. 90. against ss. 8 : 1d., and the expenses per train mile were 2s. 14-1, against 2s. 51d. The cost of the South-west line and Bangalore branch, inclusive of rolling stock, was still under £ll,OOO a mile. Considering the heavy works on many parts of the line, and that it ascended at Ban galore to a height of :3,000 feet above the sea, the result was satisfactory, and creditable to the en gineers and the system under which the line had been constructed. The net profits for the year 1865 had been equal to 3/ per cent. on the capital cost, and in the past half year to 4 per cent. per annum. The cost of the section of the North-West line upon which the revenue of the half-year had been earned was under £9,200 per mile, inclusive of rolling stock, and the net earnings were equal to a dividend at the rate of nearly 41 per cent. per annum. The totai expenditure allocated to the 30th of June amounted to £6,142,423, the balance unallocated being £1,642,962 in December last.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TimEs.—The questions, "Are they out ?" and " Will they stop in ?" which have occupied the town since Satur day morning, will be definitely answered by Mr. Glad stone in his place in Parliament this evening. It is never very pleasant to be turned out in the cold, and we cannot be surprised if the Cabinet which sat during the pitiless rain-storm of Saturday afternoon determined to remain where they were, lest they should go further and fare worse. Such, we believe, was the result of their delibe rations. The Ministry had won by a majority of five on a division in which every possible vote was polled, and though no condemnation of their plans of action could be more unequivocal, it was not necessary to construe the result as a peremptory notice to resign. Their manoeuvres were reprobated, but they themselves wero encouraged to remain in office. This would seem to be the Ministerial interpretation of the vote of the house, and we cordially approve it. We understand that Mr. Gladstone will this evening explain the way in which the Government intend to proceed so as to bring themselves into harmony with Parliament. The bill for the Redistribution of Seats is to be brought in and read for the first time on Monday next. The Franchise Bill and the Redistribution Bill will then be before Parliament as parts of one scheme. Though at this period of the session an attempt to pass both must seem far from hopeful, the Government are willing to believe that their Redistribution Bill will meet many of the objec tions to which the Franchise Bill taken alone was exposed, and that with some modifications a scheme can be arranged which all parties will accept as a permanent settlement of a troublesome question. The nation at large will not bo disposed to quarrel with the resolution of the Govern ment. Their plans have been needlessly bad, and the mys tery which they made of their Redistribution Bill excited apprehensions which a more frank mode of dealing with the House of Commons would probably have immediately allayed, but there has never been the faintest desire in the country or in Parliament to substitute a Conservative for a Liberal Ministry. The vote of Saturday morning ex plicitly condemned the attempt to evade discussion, and if the Government accept the reproof the object of Lord Grosvenor's Amendment will be secured. The honour of the Administration is in their own hands, and no one will question their judgment on the subjeet. It is the interest of the Opposition as well as of the country that the present Ministers should remain in office. The Reform question must be settled, and it is not eery to believe that it could be settled by a Conservative Government. If the Liberal Ministry went out leaving the question of Reform unsolved, it would become the one subject of agitation for many years to come, and the next time the Liberals regained office a Reform:scheme of much larger proportions than any with which we have now to deal would be inevitable. Whatever opinion may bo entertained of such a result, no one can look forward to the prospect of the prolonged struggle which would precede it without apprehension. We have had enough of agitation. Unfounded as the cry of injustice is, and contemptible as the sentimentalism which has lately become the vogue may be, they provoke ill-will, and might in time breed evil passions. It is de sirable that Reform should be disposed of, and disposed of at once ; it can only be settled by a Liberal Ministry, and it can only be satisfactorily settled by a Liberal Ministry working in the face of a vigilant and powerful Opposition. These are the first conditions under which the existence of the present Government must be maintained, if it is to be maintained at all. HERALD.—In reply to the challenge which was thrown down by Mr. Gladstone at Liverpool, the House of Com mons have given to the Government a reluctant majority of five. Their utmost strength had been exerted ; their whip had reached wherever a promise, a flattery, or a threat could tell ; with an abundant and unscrupulous exercise of power and patronage they have exhausted every resource of cajolery and coercion ; and they have failed. The House of Commons has refused their lead and repu diated their yoke. Tho country now waits for their deci sion, now that their policy has been, by the foremost Liberals, no less than by the entire Conservative party, re jected and condemned. For we presume that not even the most unabashed of Ministerial advocates will claim the division of Saturday morning as a victory. There is, in the first place, the notorious fact that a large number of those who voted for the bill had spoken against it, and menaced it with destruction in committee, and that others were only persuaded to follow Mr. Brand by artifices inde scribably discreditable. But even apart from these con siderations, Ministers are bound by their own declarations to abandon both the bill and their offices at once. Sir Robert Peel once, in summing up the higher qualities of statesmanship, avowed :that no public man could have a tinge of greatness in his character who consented to retain place after Parliament had denied him its confidence. From the days of Pitt to his own a majority of less than twenty in the House of Commons, on a large question of national policy, was deemed equivalent to a vote of cen sure. But Lord Russell commands one of five in a house of 636, from which only ten members were absent, the gap being accounted for by the judgments of the election com mittees upon Liberal corruption. He has irretrievably alienated the best supporters of his own party, who have distinctly announced that they no longer recognise in him their natural or adopted chieftain; and be sides, after dilating with so much emphasis on the value of pledges, the Ministry cannot without self-degradation unspeakable disavow those which were given by Mr. Gladstone during his pilgrimage of agitation in Lanca shire. There, with out its being extorted or provoked from him, he announced in language befitting the reckless ad vocate of a desperate cause, that he and his colleagues bac' passed the narrow Rubicon, had destroyed the bridge, and burnt the boats behind them—had cast the die, and were resolved to stand or fall by the consequences. We are under no obligation to carry the argument a single step farther. Five votes cannot save Mr. Gladstone's Reform Bill ; and if Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone think that by any jugglery they can save the Cabinet, they will only be opening for themselves the prospect of a more disgr acefu fall. DAILY NEWS.-It is useles to seek to interest the public to-day in any oth er ques ti on than that which is to rece i ve its solution from Mr. Gladstone this evening. Ministers have so openly and so purposely identified their continu ance in office with the success of their Reform measures, that the public—who feel how important it is that the Go vernment of the country should not pass out of firm and able guidance —are anxiously waiting to learn what view the Cabinet will take of the situation created by the division of Saturday morning, and the resolution which it will form thereupon. This is a subject which strongly tempts speculation; but although it might be pos sible to anticipate the actual result, it is not worth while to form conjectures, however probable, as to what must so soon become a matter of certainty. It may be more profitable to take a survey of the general position in which Ministers are placed, and to compare the several courses which are open to them. It must be evident to every reader of Mr. Gladstone's speech on Saturday morning that he had anticipated the smallness of the actual majority on Earl Grosvenor's Amendment, and that his words looked beyond the division then impending. Every reader must have received from that speech the impression that the Government felt that it was engaged in a great work, called for by the permanent interests of the country—a work, therefore, for the sake of which it might become proper, under certain circumstances, to dare much in reliance on the sound sense, good feeling, and public spirit of the country. When men are animated by this spirit many considerations which in ordinary circumstances have weight fall away of themselves and exercise no influence. Ministers have undertaken to settle the question of Reform. Not only their supporters, but the country, and we may even say their opponents, exact it of them, and they are bound not to recoil before small difficulties. MORNING POST.—As was generally expected, the result of the Reform division on Friday was to give a small ma jority to the Ministry. That it should have been as small to it was did not, however, seem probable ; but at the last moment three more Liberals went over to the Opposition, and two Conservatives of the three whose votes had been counted upon by the Ministry returned to their allegiance, and further diminished the majority—already reduced through the election committees by ten—to the very small figure of five, at which it stood when the numbers were proclaimed, and the Cabinet had to consider on Saturday what course to take in the most embarrassing of all the results the division could have had. It was thought by many that a very narrow majority would be accepted as a clear indication of the insecure hold the Ministry has on the confidence of the house, and as evidence of the impos sibility of carrying the bill, especially when flanked by the Redistribution Bill, through committee, and it was thought probable that such a majority would be followed by the resignation of the . Cabinet, or at any rate by the secession of some of its members. We are, however, able to state that the result of the Cabinet Council held on Saturday is that the Ministry have resolved neither to resign nor to abandon their bill, and that no member of the Cabinet will secede from its ranks in consequence. That there will bo some surprise felt when Mr. Gladstone indicates, this evening, the course which has been decided upon, is more than probable, and the ultimate result, whether as regards the fate of the Ministry itself or of the bill to which they have expressly linked their fate, is, to say the least, doubt ful ; but, as a present move, it is probably the wisest they could have made. ADVERTISER.-But what will follow, whether resigna tion comes now, or ten or twelve days hence ? That is a difficult question to answer. We may conjecture what the course of things will be, but it can only be conjecture. All is uncertain. What we should deem the first step most likely to be taken by Earl Russell would be to advise her Majesty to send for Lord Derby to _consult him as to what ought to be done in the important crisis which has oc curred. The constitutional course is for the Sovereign to send for the party who has been the means of overthrow ing the Government, to command him to construct a now Cabinet in the room of that which has been destroyed. But the present is an exceptional case. Lord Grosvenor is not a man of sufficient mark to justify Earl Russell in advising her Majesty to send for him to form a new Ad-- ministration. Besides, it is plain to every intelligent per son—indeed it is not anywhere denied—that Lord Grosve nor wks but an instrument in the hands of the Conserva tive party of upsetting the Russell Administration. That Administration has been broken up through the votes of the Conservatives as a body comparatively few o f who range themselves—which Lord Grosveno r himself does—under the banner of Liberalism, haying vo ted against the measure. The virtual defeat, th ere fore, which M inisters have sustained being brought about by the Tor ies as 3. party, and Lord Derby the on ly ac knowledged head of that party, we see no other course open to Ea rl Russell But but to advise her Majesty to send for Lord De rb y . will the noble earl undertake, in obedience to her Majesty's commands, to form a new Administration ? We do not believe h© will. those h h SATURDAY REVIEW.—If we look to the mode in R Parliament has been t r eated, the House of Commons 1 ,95 5 right to complain bitterly. The very cas e set up by the, Government was that the house was not to be trusted, and that it was proposed to make men vote for the two halve.wh separately who would nev e r have voted for th e u?? g There is something, too, exceedingly irritating in a yo member of the Cabinet like Mr. Goschen being comie" sinned to explain coolly to the house that a trap had bee° set for wavering members, that the Government was goili.g to cajole them, and that the Gove r nment was quite cern° of cajoling them, although the mode of deception was revealed to them beforehand. It is natural that men 4),1 honour and self-respect should resent all this b itterly, an that some at least of their number should prefer to which der what is due to themselves, and to the body to they belong, rather than to the claims of party. OBSERVER.—What will be the result of th is na b majority upon the bill itself, or the Government by wh°lra it was introduced, will be made known on Mon da y , as the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave formal notice of his tention then to move that the house go into committee on, °' the bill, when he will, no doubt, take the oppo rtunity explaining the course which the Government Will 120 decided upon adopting.
