They are now at Limehouse. From their enormous size and weight, the transit to their destination will be an operation of public interest. THE LIBERAL CANDIDATES FOR WINDSOR. — Yesterday evening a great meeting of the Liberal electors of the borough of New Windsor was held at the public rooms, High-street, for the purpose of introducing Mr. Labouchere (who, with Mr. E. F. Flower, of Stratford upon-Avon, intends to contest the borough with Colonel Vyse and Mr, Vansittart, the present sitting members at the next election) to that portion of the constituency. Mr. H. Driver, the chairman of the Liberal committee, pre sided, while among those present were Mr. Flower, the other candidate, who had already presented himself to the electors of Windsor, Mr. Hall Saye, Captain Seymour, Mr. Darvill, Mr. R. Ekyn, &c. The room was greatly crowded by the principal Liberals in the town, who had assembled to hear Mr. Labouchere's political views. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TIIEATRE ROYAL, EDINBURGH.—The unfortunate people who lost their lives through the destruction of the Theatre ROyal; Edin burgh, by fire, are—Mr. G. Lorimer, dean of guild, aged 54 ; Mr. J. Taylor, builder, St. James's-square, age un known ; Mr. T. H. Leeke, Union-place, clerk to Mr. Tod, painter, Dundas-street, aged 26 ; J. Clark, mason, Middle Arthur-place, aged 67, and who had served 18 years in the fire brigade ; Bernard M 4 Vie, labourer, Lawnmarket, aged 36; George Sweeney, gentleman's servant, 15, Leopold place, aged 67. As stated yesterday, Mr. Lorimer was killed while bravely endeavouring to save others ; for, although begged to come away from the spot, he persisted in remaining. As a mark of public esteem, a public funeral will be given to him. A meeting of the inhabi tants was to be held yesterday, to consider what steps should be taken for the relief of the sufferers. The origin of the fire is ascribed to a mishap which occurred in the lighting of the top shifts preparatory to the first juvenile night performance of the pantomime. The gasman had been putting in the lights at a reduced flame, and had lit one of the upper borders, when, in travelling along the second, the drapery, which, it would appear, was insufficiently protected, took fire. It is said that a similar occurrence had taken place on some previous occasions, but that by cutting off the burning edge all dan ger had been averted. In making a like attempt on this occasion, the gasman did not succeed. The fireman, who was in the house, had recourse to the moveable hose, but was unable to overtake the rapidly-spreading flame. The total loss is estimated at 12,0001., of which 2,0001. repre sents the damage to the Roman Catholic church. HEAurn OF SCOTLAND.—The Registrar-General reports the deaths in the eight principal towns of Scotland in the month of December (2,412) to be the average number; but 31 per cent. of them have to be recorded as due to the zymotic (epidemic and contagious) classof diseases. Typhus fever caused more than 10 per cent. of the whole mortality ; in Paisley 12.5 per cent., and in Greenock as much as 20 per cent. This has been the most severe epidemic of typhus fever which has existed in Scotland for many years. 91 deaths ttin g were attributable to violent causes, 16 of them to the up id•euar2 egd theb tfeanr tyheeahr years of a Clyde ferry -boat. The births in the month g o h f es r t e (3,133) were above the average, and the marriages (884) g n i um str b a : f r o r n e . gis T te h r e ed in f e o an r thteemmpoenrath ture of the month was rather above the average, the rain fall, the s ma ll est the Registrar-General has recorded in December, the mean of the eight towns being 3.42 inches, which is 1 . 05 inch below the average. The greatest depth of rain was at Greenock --5•47 inches. The Duke of Buccleu h' c foxhounds met on Thursday morning last at Kelso Bridge, when a splendid field, including one or two of tho fair sex, mustered for the day's sport. Unfortunately the day's sport was consider ably marred by a sad accident that happened to Mr. Pringle, son of Mr. Pringle of Cheethaugh. When taking a leap across a fence, on to the high road, his horse fell, and Mr. Pringle was thrown heavily on his head. We under stand that he was a good deal better 'on Friday.—s cots , nan. Loss OF A RUSSIAN BRIG AND NINE MEN,-___A Russian brig, the Ilma, 197 tons, went ashore on Friday night, or early on Saturday morning, near Etaples, Prance. Nine men were lost. The captain and a boy were saved. The brig is supposed to have been laden with coffee. Th e vessel has gone to pieces. Mr. Seymour Huffham, the respected representa. tive of Baron Rothschild at Lloyd's, met with an acciden yesterday afternoon by being knocked down by a cab in front of the Mansion House ; but we aro happy to say he was not much hurt, although from his age, upwards of 84, it is feared he may suffer from the effects of the sh9a, .. 981 r - z , ;c l "'"r" oUN, Luiwoiv 3 UESDAY EVENINO„JANUARY 17, 1865.

He came up to-day upon the order of discharge, the ac counts showing debts 2501. The registrar granted order as prayed. IN RE FRANRENHEIM. In this case the bankrUpt was described as of Blooms bury-square, diamond merchant. It appeared that the debts amounted to about £50,000, and upon a pre vious occasion a majority of the creditors had agreed to take the case out of the hands of this court in accord ance with tilt provisions of 100 sec., of Act 1861. TO-day Mr. Sargood stated that all the necessary arrangements had been made by the friends of the bankrupt, and under those the creditors would receive 2s.

SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE JEWISH DIVORCE LAW NOT BINDING IN ENGLAND DAVIS V. HAMS. This was an action to recover a sum of money for the keep of defendant's wife. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant had been separated from his wife, and he has been sued in this court upon a previous occasion, a verdict having passed against him. The defendant now said that in consequence of the mis conduct of his wife he had been bankrupt in 1861. His Honour—You have not pleaded your bankruptcy, and besides a bankrupt is bound to keep his wife. Defendant—l have been divorced from my wife. His Honour—What is the date of that divorce ? Defendant—lt is a divorce according to the Jewish law. Es Honour—That will not do in this country. - Defendant—My wife is now under bail for attempting my life. Here is the agreement under which my wife and I have been divorced. 791 Upon his Honour reading the agreement he pronounced it worthless, and advised the defendant not to go to the expense of getting it stamped, as it would not act against a tradesman who supplied necessaries to the wife. In this 49 50 case the verdict must pass for the plaintiff, with costs. 87 4 1 Verdict for plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. ---.._ MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A PUGILIST CHARGED WITH A BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Joe Goss, a pugilist, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following brutal assault on a young female named Flora Hamilton, living in Winchester-street, Pimlico. The complainant, an "unfortunate," who gave her evi dence seated, and seemed to be suffering great pain, said— As I was coming along Leicester-square this morning, about 2 o'clock, on my way home I met a friend of mine in company of the prisoner. I spoke to my friend, and the pri soner tried to kiss me. I pushed him away, and he then called me a most offensive name, following it up by strik ing me some blows in the face and then kicking me in the groin—the pain caused by the kick being so great that my , legs were quite drawn up. I was taken to the Charing cross Hospital, and then told to go home and apply warm fomentations and to attend again this morning, but having to attend here have been unable to do so. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Had you said anything to the prisoner ? Complainant—Not a word, and I had never seen him before. Prisoner—l was along with a gentleman, in Leicester square, and she came behind us and caught hold of my friend. The gentleman asked me not to leave him, and she then came up again and pulled me. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You were preserving your friend? Prisoner—Yes. She put my finger in her mouth and bit it. Complainant—On my oath I did not do it. He was dragging my friend along at the time. The constable saw him kick me down. Parmiter, C division, said-.-While in Leicester-square about half-past two this morning I saw the complainant and the prisoner standing together. I heard a blow, and saw the prisoner kick the complainant. She fell on the pavement, and I afterwards took the prisoner to the sta tion, another constable (87 C) taking the complainant to the Charing-cross Hospital. _ Mr. Tyrwlitt—Have you any witnesses, prisoner ? Prisoner—l have not. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are just one of those brutal fellows who are to be found about town, who not being able to get what they wish, punish females in the way the com plainant has been. I shall commit you for six weeks with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. TAKING AWAY OTHER PERSON'S CHILDREN.—A woman, about 30 years of age, applied to Mr. Arnold for the re covery of her child, which had been taken away, and was detained by another woman. Applicant- said she had got possession of the child a short time ago, and would not restore it. When she went to her last night for it she assaulted her. Mr. Arnold—l can grant you a summons for the assault. Applicant—l want my child. Can't you make her give me? Mr. Arnold—How old is it ? 4 Applicant—Three years (bursting into tears). I must have my child. Can't you make an order upon her to give it up to me? Mr. Arnold—l have 'no such power, but if you take a summons for the assault it may be the means of your re covering your child. When she is here I will see what I can do for you. Applicant--I thank your worship. I'll take a summons. Another woman immediately stepped forward and said, " I am the woman she has just been speaking about, your worship. Mr. Arnold—Have you got her child ? Woman—Yes, your worship, I have. Mr. Arnold—Why don't you give it her ? Woman--.I want to keep it. _ _ Mr. Arnold—You have no right to another person's child. Woman—She is not fit to bo trusted with it. Mr. Arnold—That is nothing to you. The mother is entitled to the care of her own child. Prisoner—The mother is the biggest drunkard in Lon don, and aint fit to have the care of a dog. I found the poor child in a cellar in a shocking state, dirty, and covered with vermin, and so starved that it only weighed 411 b. I took it to a doctor, and now it is a nice child. Mr. Arnold—You must give it up to its mother. Prisoner—lf she has the child it will soon be in as bad a state again. _ _ _ Mr. Arnold—You must giVe her up her child. You have no right to keep it from her. If she does wrong to the child, and neglects it, she is answerable to the law. THAMES. A RIVAL TO BLEAR-EYED MOLL.—An extraordinary specimen of humanity, named Mary Ahearn, whose age it would be difficult to tell, but who said she was 40, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing two new kettles, valued at 3s. 6d., from the shop of Mr. George Booth, tin-plate worker, of 70, High-street, Shadwell. The prisoner has rendered herself perfectly repulsive by strong drinks, dissipation, violence, and disease. Her nose was a perfect grog blossom, her face was disfigured with contusions, her mouth was cut, and the remains of the few teeth in her mouth were black. In a voice husky with gin she kept a running commentary on the evidence. In her ugliness and language she more than equalled the famous Blear-eyed Moll, described by the great novelist Fielding in his "Amelia." The prosecutor said a poor and respect able woman came into his shop yesterday evening, and said the prisoner had struck her and robbed her of a shawl, and, continued the womp, I think she has robbed you, for she has two new tin kettles in her hands. He looked about the shop and missed two kettles. He went after the pri soner and overtook her with the kettles in her possession. She then made a furious attack upon him and beat him.for a quarter of an hour. Mr. Paget—Beat you, what did she beat you with ? Mr. Booth—With her shoe, your worship. I never met with such a desperate and furious woman in my life. The prisoner—Och, you murthering villain. You wanted to take advantage of me weakness. He did, yer hanner's wertchip. (Laughter.) He has asked me to go and live with him, and said he would furnish a nice little parlour for me, pots, kettles, and all. (Laughter.) Mr. Booth, who is a respectable married man, with a family, looked astounded, and said there was not a word of truth in what the prisoner said. The prisoner—Och, jist hear that. You villain, didn't ye tell me to take a new kettle, and didn't I take the one besides the other you gave me. Mr. Booth —Nothing of the kind. The prisoner—Didn't you gave me a pint of gin ? (Laughter.) Mr. Booth —Certainly not. Mr. George Booth, jun., a respectable young man, con ruled the evidence of his father in every particular. The prisoner now altered her defence, and said she was drunk yesterday, and the " little dhrop taken" put the kettles into her hands. James Stockley, a police-constable, No. 164 K, said he saw the prisoner beating Mr. Booth. She was a most des perate woman. The depositions having been read over by Mr. Bowdler, the clerk, the prisoner said "Do as you like with me. I was stone blind drunk, and did't know what I was doing ? Mr. Paget—l shall commit you for trial. The prisoner—Do what you like. Be me cowl, I must have gin. Mr. Paget—You will have none here. The prisoner was beginning to abuse the witnesses when the gaoler removed her to the lock-up. The Duke de Luynes has sent a sum of I,ooof. to the subscription for the monument to M. H. Flandrin, the painter. Major LYON thought the committee had arrived at their conclusion from newspaper reports and vestry documents, and not from the whole of the charges which had beenmade against the board. He urged that as the contract was prac tically completed, there could be no further wrong-doing, even if there had been anything wrong done. He believed Mr. Bazalgette had inefficiently answered the questions put to him in committee by Sir Joseph Paxton. The report stated that the board had accepted Mr. Furness's tender contrary to the advice of the engineer; but that was an error. He defied anyone to prove such to hi the fact. The statement of the engineer as to Mr. Furness could not be made to agree with the report. He complained that the paid ser vants were becoming the board, and the board becoming nothing at all. The report had been drawn up by some officer of the board, and then but slightly altered in com mittee. He supported the amendment of Mr. Richardson. Mr. Dourffox, M.P., would have supported the amend ment, that it was not expedient to make any answer to the charges contained in the report, as he believed it was be neath the dignity of the Board to take any notice of them. But when those charges came before a committee of the House of Commons it was right this board should make such a reply as would show the board was without reproach. Mr. SAUNDERS went through the report of the committee at great length, and contended that it was inexpedient to answer many of the statements in it, which were untrue, although he did not believe that the committeeknew it was so. He thought the whole correspondence should be left to the consideration of a discerning public. Mr. FREEMAN said he should vote for the adoption of the report. Mr. NICROLAY thought the board had not acted with fairness towards Mr. Ridley, and held that the Odessa affair was the dead weight around the neck of the Board. Mr. NEWTON replied upon the whole of the discussion. A show of hands was taken, and the amendment declared to be lost. Vv Major LYos then proposed, " That it is inexpedient at the present time to make any reply to the charges referred to in the report of the committee." Mr. WESTERTON seconded this amendment, which was also lost. "' ' ' w. A division then took place on the original resolution for the adoption of the report, when there appeared— For the motion ... ... 21 Against it ... ... ... 6 Majority ... •. • ... ... —l5 Upon the motion of Mr. DOVLTON, it was ordered that a copy of the report be sent to every member of committee, and of the Court of Common Council, in addition to the vestries. The Board adjourned at 6 o'clock. The Metropolitan Board of Works and Lord Robert Montagu's Committee. Yesterday an adjourned meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held at the offices, Spring-gardens, Mr. Thwaites in the chair, for the purpose of continuing the discussion upon the report from the Main Drainage Committee, brought up at the weekly sitting on Friday, with regard to the contract for the Thames embankment. It will be remembered that on that occasion Mr. Newton moved the adoption of the document, and Mr. Richardson proposed an amendment, that it was inexpedient to answer the charges contained in the report by the publication of certain correspondence. Mr. MILLER, M.P., resumed the debate, and contended that many extraneous matters had been introduced into the question before the board. It was the opinion of eminent men that the river gravel was not the proper material to be by itself used in filling in the embankment. There was no binding quality in it, and, therefore, it ought to be mixed with something else. The engineer had been blamed be cause the use of land rubbish would be a great saving to the contractor ; but the officer had had nothing to do with that. As it was a financial question, it was - one for the con sideration of the board. The engineer was also blamed for the non-acceptance of Mr. Ridley's contract, and it was as serted that that of Mr. Furness had been accepted through the engineer's connection with the Odessa contract. That was not correct, as the engineer had recommended the board to re-advertise. He thought from the first that Mr. Ridley's contract should have been accepted, but the board decided otherwise. Mr. Bazalgette had abstained from re commending Mr. Furness to the board until he was urged to do so. That recommendation was, that Mr. Furness had carried out large works for the board with success,and that he (Mr. Bazalgette) considered him competent to un dertake the contract for the Thames embankment. Those works were now progressing satisfactorily, and would be completed within the estimated cost. In conclusion, he thought that the whole report of the facts should be pub lished, as he believed the whole of the main facts in the report could be sustained. THE EMPIRE OF MEXICO, (From the Correspondent of the Times) MEXICO, Dec. 10. The arrival of Senor Meglia, the Pope's Nuncio, leads every one to believe that a satisfactory settle ment of the long-pending question, the " Church property," is not far distant. On presenting his cre dentials the Nuncio expressed himself as follows : " Sire,—ln handing to your Majesty the brief by which our Holy Father has deigned to accredit me, I am happy, Sire, in being able to assure you of the sentiments of tender affection which his Holiness the Pope entertains for your Majesty. The sovereign Pontiff, already aware of your devotion to the Church, and of your benevolent intentions, places in you too much confidence to doubt but that our sacred religion—the fruitful source of the prosperity of nations as well as the most solid support of Governments and Thrones—will ever be the constant aim of your Impe rial Majesty. I, Sire, shall ever employ all my zeal in the maintenance of amicable relations, and to the preservation of those bonds which ought for ever to unite the Holy See and the Mexican Empire." The Emperor's reply, as it will be seen, was much more to the purpose. He said : " To us it is a matter of real congratulation to see at length realised, by the sending of a person so distinguished and enlightened, the promise made to us while at Rome ; a realisation which our Government, as well as the whole nation, await with anxiety. The Holy Father, with his proverbial bounty, gives us in this an evident proof, which we accept with gratitude, that the Church is anxious for the final settlement of the difficult question pending between our Government and the Holy See. The Mexican Govern ment, Catholic, loyal, and based upon true liberty, will not fail in its duty, and it is with these sentiments that it re ceived the worthy representative of Christ's Viceregent, in full confidence that his arrival is the first step towards a settlement beneficial for all, and which the Almighty will bless." Although nothing official has yet transpired re specting the base of the " Concordat" about to be signed by the Imperial Government and the Court of Rome, I think that the following are the points which will be mainly insisted upon. The toleration of all religions not prohibited by the laws ; the Catholic clergy to be provided for out of the public treasury, and not to receive fees for the administra tion of the Sacraments ; the Catholic religion to be the religion of the State ; the nationalisation of all Church property ; the re-establishment of religious orders, dissolved during the Republic not to take place without the express consent of the Mexican Government ; the exclusive privileges heretofore en joyed by the clergy to be remodelled in conformity with the usages now prevalent among civilised na tions ; and the establishment of a civil register for births, marriages, and deaths in all districts where the Government may deem it necessary. This Concordat once promulgated the semblance even of an armed resistance will at once cease. Mexicans fight for money, but not from patriotism. I have heard many a rabid Liberal exclaim, " Let the Emperor secure us in the possession of the Church property, and it is all we ask." A revision of all fraudulent sales must necessarily be made, as it would be an act of gross injustice to place those who have violated the law on an equality with those who have complied with it. It a is not too much to expect that the Government, from this source alone, will realise sooner or later from 60 to 100 million dollars. A Council of State, composed of eight members and a president, has been named by the Emperor. Its duties are to prepare such laws and decrees as may be intrusted to it either by the chief of the State or his Ministers ; to form a tribunal on legal matters ; to adjudicate in all cases where high functionaries are incriminated ; to report upon all matters referred to it either by the Emperor or his Ministers ; and to perform all other functions which may be required of it either by the laws or by the chief of the State. The forces commanded by General Douay have nowhere met with any serious resistance. Mazatlan was occupied on the 13th, and the Empire solemnly proclaimed on the 19th. This is one of the most important events of the campaign ; in a military point of view the occupation of Mazatlan secures the possession of all that portion of the Pacific coast ; in a financial one it is important as likely to supply the Imperial Treasury with three or four millions of dollars annually. An expedition to Sonora is much talked of, and it is not improbable that the Belgian troops will be employed in this service. From Oajuca there is no news of importance ; by the last accounts the French force was within 15 leagues of the capital, and it was not expected that any serious resistance would be attempted. Several propositions having b e en addressed to the Government for the establishment of a line The Queen's Advocate, late this afternoon, on the part of Mrs. Codrington, moved for a new trial in this case, which at the time of its hearing excited considerable at tention, on the ground of " imperfect direction of the Judge," and also that the verdict was against the evidence. The hon. gentleman then read the letter written by Mrs. Codrington to Colonel Anderson, commenting upon his ap proaching marriage, and which, it will be recollected, the learned judge, in his summing up to the jury, observed that it was not the sort of letter an affectionate wife would write to a third person. He could not deny there were certain parts of the letter which were peculiar, but the writer was of a very romantic turn of mind—it con tained . not one direct word as to criminality. On the con trary the whole of the concluding portions clearly showed quite the reverse. The learned Judge said he thought ho told them that the letter only went to a certain extent, a further step being wanting, The Queen's Advocate said the jury were likely pre judiced by the comments of his lordship, but he did not make his motion on a certain part. His complaint was that the whole of the remarks led the jury— His Lordship interrupted the learned gentleman, and asked to be furnished with the shorthandwriter's note of hi s summing up. This having been handed to his lordship he said he thought his comments went to show certain condi ions of feeling at the time the letter was written, and no thing further. The Queen's Advocate said his lordship remarked that the letter went three fourths of the way to prove the adultery. His Lordship said he perfectly recollected using that term. The Queen's Advocate, with the greatest respect to the Court, thought that the jury had been induced to place undue importance upon the letter. The verdict of the jury as it stood was exceedingly unsatisfactory, because it went the length of declaring that adultery had been committed without specifying when or where, and that of course was a great hardship to the petitioners. The allegation of adultery at Malta was absurd, because he felt certain no person would attach the slightest importance to such an unsatisfactory witness as Duck. He contended that the charge of adultery abroad was altogether groundless, and that he could only therefore come to the conclusion that the adultery, if any, was committed at the Grosvenor Hotel. A careful perusal of the evidence would show that there was not a single word which would bear out such a construction. On the contrary, he contended that there was no evidence at all to prove that Col. Anderson eve r went to the Grosvenor Hotel at aIL The evidence that was given on the occasion, only went the length that Mrs. Codrington and Colonel Anderson never went into a bed-room, supposing - he was ever in the hotel which was denied. Now, if there was no adultery com mitted at Malta or at the Grosvenor Hotel by Colonel Anderson, he could only come to the conclusion that the jury had in 'their minds at the time they delivered the verdict that attributed to Lieutenant Mildmay. The chief evidence on this point was that given by Mrs. Watson which he considered was of a most extraordinary nature, because that person showed throughout her whole exami nation that she was imbued with the most violent and virulent enmity. He felt that the confession attributed to have been made by Mrs. Codrington was simply ridicu lous, because the most abandoned in the world would not be guilty of rushing into a room and, without the slightest intimation make the declaration that had been attributed to Mrs. Codrington. The evidence taken by it self was peculiarly imperfect, because there wasnot a single admission of any of the witnesses that they had ever seen one single act of undue familiarity, such as kissing or em bracing, or even shaking hands. He did hope that as the result of the long investigation had been so unsatisfactory, that his lordship would grant his application for a new trial. Mr. Price, Q.C., on the part of Col. Anderson, said he had to make a similar application, and he did so on the ground that the verdict of the jury was against the weight of evidence, misdirection, and misconception of evidence The great point that had been made against his client, Colonel/ Anderson, was that he was at the Grosvenor Hotel when he met Mrs. Codrington ; but on a calm reflection he hoped the Court would agree with him that it was not at all likely that a gentleman of Colonel Anderson's position would go to one of the most public hotels in London, and risk the loss of rank and the dis grace of exposure, and there commit the atrocity he was accused of. He contended that such a conclusion as that of the jury was perfectly monstrous, and one that ought not to remain on the records of the court without another investigation. The learned gentleman then made some very strong observations on the letter said to have been sent to Colonel Anderson by Mrs. Codrington, in which his marriage was referred to, said that if such a matter was allowed to rest where it was it would be, in fact, placing every person at the mercy of any flighty person who might feel disposed to write certain accusations against him. The learned gentleman then referred to the case of Robinson v. Robinson and Lane, in which similar inflated and extravagant language had been written by the lady in her diary, and where the Court had decided that no reliance could be placed on the writing of one who was vain enough to imagine that every person with whom she came in contact was in love with her. He thought it had been shown beyond contradiction that Mrs. Codrington was a lady fond of admiration; and, with the case he had mentioned standing as an authority, he hoped, as a matter of justice, a new trial would be granted to his client, Col. Anderson. His Lordship said the case had been ;very ably: argued, but he would consider the matter before he gave his deci sion.

Every boat to carry, free of expense, a Govern ment agent charged with the correspondence ; and all troops, munitions of war, &c., to be carried at half-price. I have not heard that any tender has been made for the Gulf line, but have reason to believe that an American company, who once made a similar proposition to J uarez and his Government, and who have three first-class steamers ready for the work, will obtain the concession for the Pacific line. Nothing further has been done in the matter of the railway company ; Messrs. Escandon and Saunders arrived in the capital last night with full powers from the directors in England —at least, so it is said—to treat with the Govermnent upon this all important subject. A confirmation of the Juarez grant in all its details they will never obtain, but it will be their own fault if they do not obtain such terms as ought to satisfy any reasonable set of proprietors.

Pedestrianism, BROMPTON. J. TOPLEY'S MATCH AGAINST TlME.—Yesterday (Monday) Mr. J. Roberts' Ground was selected for the performance of this match. The conditions of this arduous undertaking were that, for a bet of £5O even, Topley had been backed to walk seven miles and a half within the hour, the pedestrian being backed by Mr. Wakefield, while Mr. Ambrose was the backer of time. This feat had been accomplished some years since by C. Westhall, the pedestrian ; it therefore cannot be regarded as an unprecedented performance. As a pedestrian Topley has only recently come into notoriety. He is 19 years of age, stands sft. 4iin., and weighs Bst. 81b., so that from this it will be seen he was of diminutive dimensions ; yet he is a well-made, compact little fellow, and it was ap parent that his trainer, John Smith (the Regent-street Pet), had done all that skill and judgment could accomplish_ The meeting was attended by most of the leading sporting men of the metropolis, among whom we noticed Joe Wor maid, the champion of England, who had " rubbed out" al the lines that had been drawn by his late opponent Marsden . The betting was 6 to 4 on time. The pedestrian had to make the circuit of the course 30 times, and when the customoanr7 officials had been appointed, Topley, attended by t h_ i e e s T gut i d tor, W. Price, came to the mark. On receiving ti 1 • oin a style to start, he went away at a slashing pace, 1":); ilt ess was rt 7 u m niZ . to —taking, however, a short quick step—thatetru aloudpy the unimpeachable, and he maintained o W rm . in li g ak th eY e rfillindesfaoufltf.airwas ac t hree miles in 23 min. 4 sec., two miles in 15 min.

D ur i ng the performance o f the third mile Topley se eme d t o t i re a. little ; and although he lN.as doing his work t o "ti me, " ye t it was the opinion of some good judges that he would tire, and fail in the completion of the task. Four miles were marked off in 32 min. 5 sec. and the first five miles of the distanc e were completed in 40 min. 3 sec. Topley was still doing his work wonderfully well, and so confident were his friends that they offered 2to 1 that he would win. Six miles were fairly wa lk e d i n 47 m i n. 471 sec ., seven miles in 55 min. 30 se c ., an d t h e entire di s t a nce, seven miles and. a half, was accomplished in 59 min. 16 sec.; so that Topley, who was completely exhausted at the finish, and must have fallen, had he not been caught in the arms of his friends, won this great match, with 44 sec. in hand.
