This Company is formed for the purpose of, connecting the Atlan tic and Pacific Oceans by the construction of is plank road acroes the province of Chiriqui, situated in Terra Firma Proper, in • the Re public of New Grenada, under many advantages unattainable by ally analogous undertaking, especially the essential ones of good terrain able harbourage, and safety, facility, and directness of access. A grant from the Government conferring all the land necessary for the construction of the road, and all necessary buildings, has already been obtained, with the exclusive privilege tothe Proprietors of the road to establish and collect such toll and passage money as they shall think proper. The grant is for the period of 60 years ; at the expiration of -that term the road is to be surrendered to the Governor of the province as provincial property, and 'the entire =omit of the original ca pital accumulated by a reserved fund to be laid aside from the profit of the enterprise will thee} be repaid pre-rata to the proprietors of shares. i 3, - - The termini of the proposed road are in..the Lagoon of Chiriqui, on the Atlantic coast, aad in the Bay of Chiriqui, on the Pacifie aide. The harbours and anchorage at these termini are - excellent . Through the whole line the country is very healthy. The 'coast On the Atlantic terminus was surveyed by her Majesty's ship Thunder, and that on the Pacific by her Majesty's ship Herald. These offi cial surveys, copies of which have been obtained fromthe Admiralty, hilly establish the advantages here asserted, and are highly favenr able to the proposed enterprise, Tice toutehali beenVig ,known and used as a provinCial road. The highestredevealon or the Ilne-of -read-between YyrtnranlTlS is only 160 feet, and the steepest gradient only 18 feet to the mile. The distance from the Atlantic to the Facile in a direct' line" IS only 40 geographical miles, and the length of wood will not exceed 50 miles. The facilities for its construction are very great. The Chiriqui road may be open for traffic in one year, and in fall working order within 18 - months from the period of its commence ment. When completed the whole distance may be travelled within eight hours. This route is in the most direct line from Europe to the colonies of Australia and New Zealand, and as the route, for the California emi gration, it is far superior to either the rename or the San Juan de Nicaragua. It must also insure the transit of merchandise con signed to and from the west coast of America, both north and south. and' a considerable portion of the Specie from the same coast. A por- • tion of the trade between Great Britain and Australia and New Zest. land, and that of the other islands of the Pacific, may also be fairly , calculated upon. A considerable portion of the gold procured in Aus tralia will be transmitted across this route. Notwithstanding the existing difficulties npwards.of 100,000 persons crossed the Isthmus of Panama during the last year, and it is computed that the in creased inducements and facilities for trade and emigration fur nished by new lines of steam-ships will vastly increase the amount' of traffic and travel across the Isthmus, placing it beyond doubt that this undertaking will produce immense returns. The amount of capital necessary to complete and open the road in perfect working order will be only 200,0001., and the revenue to be derived from it, computed from the sauces above indicated, will yield a net profit on the entire capital of about 80 per cent. after making a very liberal deductio n for ex p enses, and also laying aside a reserve fund sufficient to replace the original capital, and provide for any unforeseen contingencies. , - In submitting this undertaking to the public, the Directors deem it unnecessary to enlarge oa its importance, or the vast advantages and facilities which will be given to commercial intercourse by a safe, speedy, and economical means of intercommunication, with excellent harbours adapted' to all purposes of trade, between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. They are permitted to state, as a gurrantee of its feasibility and realisation, that the Messrs. Waring,s, of London, ra ilway contractors, are ready to un d er t a k e the con struction of the road at the estimated cost, and will immediately at their own expense send their surveyors and staff to the locality to ee satisfaction cz.,ehdarted e too f theo Incorporation,announc ing request of by t t h h e a w t ph herceh make the final survey. me havet havethe ma T j h es e ty D s i oo recr ern rs meters for the grant of a Royal the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of ems to be made to the brokers of the Company, their shares, and no payment will be required until the Charter shall h at the temporary offices of the Company; No ohaverApplicationsto b th e completed.een Secretary,s 4, Princes-street, Bank, London ; maps,whe remseawilsno the e ay be obttined . also thete routes, prospectuses, with accompanying and the situation of the proposed route relative to the Panama and Nica g r proposed Tehuantepec and other. routes, asrelative distances of these routes across.the Isthmus of Central A dis tances to San Francisco, and to Sydney (New South Wales), by New America, and the Zealand, from England,l,, , lew York, &c. • JAMES MACQUEEN, Secretary.

The Constitutionnel publishes the following on the late General Gourgaud :—" Gaspard Gourgaud was born at Versailles on Sept. 14, 1783, in the midst of the brilliant career of his maternal uncle, Henri Gourgaud, the comedian, at whose house he was brought up, and who was known in the annals of the Theatre Francais by the pseudonyme of Dugazon. After having been at the Polytechnic School and at that of Metz, young Gourgaud entered, in 1801, the 6th foot artillery, and in 1803 became the aide-de-camp of General Fouch6, who had discovered his abilities. The battles of the Empire succeeded with wonderful rapidity, and at Tabor, Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland, Essling, and, above alt, Wagram, Gourgaud gave proofs of an intelligence and courage which gained him the honour of being appointed orderly-officer to the Emperor. In that quality, he accompanied him to Holland, and returned afterwards to France to secure from a coup-de-main, on the part of the English, the islands of Rho, Aix, and Oleron, which England had designated as points for landing at. All the plans of that nation were baffled by the young tactician, and the coast was put into such a state of defence as to render any attempt on the part of the enemy impossible. At Dresden, Os trowno, and Smolensk°, he behaved with great gal lantry, and contributed with the pri nc ipal general officers of the French army to the success of that terrible battle of Moscowa, at which Prance made its gigantic opening into Russia. It was in that coun try that an eph,ode took place which rendered the young officer dear to his brothers in arms. Napo" leon was at the Kremlin. The destinies of the world were in his hand ; bat nature, and not the enemy, was to snatch from him the fruits of his vic tory. Rostopchin, the Russian General, in his de spair, had placed under the Kremlin and the neigh bouring buildings nearly 400,0001b5. weight of gunpowder, for the purpose of blowing up the staff, the military household, and the guard of the Empe ror. The fire was already set to the match, which was slowly burning, when Gourgaud, without mea suring the extent of the danger, rushed into the gulf and succeeded in extinguishing the match, and so saved the Emperor and the principal gener als. Another time, at Brienne, on J anuary 29, 1814, Gourgaud was again able to save th e E mpero r's life' The Emperor, on that occasion, f oun d hi ms elf ell' veloped by a body of Cossacks, who pressed him closely. At that moment one of them, lance in hand , spurredat Napoleon,and would have certainlyltransfix eu him, had not Gourgaud dashed bet ween , an d, lodging a hall in the soldier's chin, saved the Emperor's lif e- It was to recompense that act of devotedness, that Napoleon, throwing himself into his aide-de-camps arms, gave him that sword se dear to his first rem': niseences, as having worn it when h e ga i ne d his firs t ,; b attle in Italy as General Bonaparte. That sword Gourgaud wore in his turn at the battle of Waterloo. TURKEY. it 13 y the Levant mail we have received Constantinople Journals to the 14th.

Looking calmly upon the old country, and then casting a fond regard to the new nations that are springing up under the fos tering influence of British manners, British laws, and British Christianity; remembering that bat yester day in your money market ' The first quotation of Consols for money wa s 1001 to ---, and that they left off at 100 i to # for money,. and 100# to 1 for the ac count ;' seeing the gladdening influence of trade aaid commerce everywhere; and the peace and prosparity which prevails on both sides of the atlantic, oaa well as on those shores where the Pacif ic rolls her quiet billows; and reflecting, too, , '.tpon him who hath said ' Surely there is a vain for the silver, and a place for gold whore they fine it ; as for the earth, out of it cometh bread, ; the stones of it are the place of sa pphires, and it hath dust of gold ;' I say, looking calmly on all these considera tions, I have no fears for the future. Tho treasures of the earth have been o pened up under the special providence of God himself. At the moment when your Crystal Palace was thrown open to the admiring gaze of all Europe, a far distant colony was present• ing her claims for distinction and fame. The May of 1851, on both sides of the globe, is indeed a memorable era. Never may the children of Britain on those distant shores be a disgrace to the parent state. But may the honour, the virtue, the dignity of moral character, and, above all, the pure religion of the Bible, be transplanted and cultivated on their soil —not as the tender plant to wither and die in a day, but as the noble oak, whose roots deepen, widen, and strengthen, by the adversity and storms of time. A few remarks to the intending emigrant, and I have done. To the young man of industrious and sober habits and of moral character, whose anxiety is to pursue a course of honest perseverance—unappalled by difficulty and danger—l s ay go. To the idle, the dissipated, the drunken—he who is reckless alike of his own peace and the sorrow he causes to others— I say stay ; for if you go to a warm climate and persevere in your present habits, you will be an out cast, you will die miserably, neglected by man, and, perhaps, unpitied by God. The two great wants of the colonists are capital and labour. For these employment on a large scale is constantly ' being presented. There are mines of wealth only waiting investments, and ,requiring men to work them. The railroad company have advertised for '2OO men ; and in a recent letter from the presi dent of that company, he informs me that the con tractor contemplates giving up the contract in conse quence of being unable to obtain men. The Bathurst Copper Mining Company, in the Herald of April 17th, advertises for 100 men. In the southern dis trict a new copper mine has been discovered; the ore has been transmitted to England for smelting, and it has been pronounced equal in the yield to the Burrs Barra. This also is at a stand. The Fitzroy Iron Mining Company is in a similar position. It is si tuate at Mittagong, on the great southern road, within seventy miles of Sydney, and extends over a sur face of about twelve acres. It is doubtless of vol canic formation, as three di s ti nct mounds or craters a ppear, and the lava (iron ore), instead of the general Pu mice• stone, flows from each mound of a depth of from six to ten feet. The yield of this mine is re markable. When smelted the ore produces steel of a most superior character. (The lecturerer exhibited spec imens of the ore in its original state, and of the metal in its manufactured state.) These facts are enough to s how that capital and labour are required. My ad vice, however, I may be permitted to tender to two or three classes. To the masters or workmen who are do i n g well in England, I suggest the old motto ' Let we ll alone. But if you are struggling with difficul ties, which appear unconquerable, wind up your affairs a nd try the colonies. There we are not so thick upon the ground, and with the primest beef at '2d., and i mutton at lid., you cannot, you need not starve. Not that I would hold out the expectation of success w ithout exertion--of fortune without the appliance of industry—Or of the quiet repose of old age without thrift end care in early and middle life. The ' Battle of Life' must be fought lustily and bravely on both sides the world. And moral worth is as valuable and as highly prized there as here. The openings for the agricultural labourer, and the mister or journeyman tradesman are astonishing. I will only mention one instance ; it was told me by the Reverend Mr. Mac kenzie, a fellow passenger from Sydney to England, and I am sure is only a specimen of the increase in the price of all kinds of handicraft. He says, Happening to break part of the harness of one of the horses I was driving, I desired my servant to carry the broken part to a saddler's shop in order to get it mended. I accompanied the man. We travelled from shop to shop, till we had visited three or four of them, before we found a man in any of them; all the men having gone to the diggings, the shops were left under the charge of their wives or daugh ters. At last we reached a saddler's shop, in which I saw a little boy of nine or ten years of age, who said he thought he could mend the broken harness ; find he did so in a few minutes. I stood looking at him while at work, and when he had finished I asked him what was to pay, expecting that he would say, one shilling. His reply, however, was, " half a crown, sir, if you please." I said, " that is a vary high charge, my little boy, for the few stitches it only cost you." " But, sir," said this pocket edition of human nature, "you must consider that all the men have gone to the diggings, and that we who stay at home to do the work of the public must charge ac cordingly." The logic was conclusive ; the mouth was stopped, and my purse was opened. I paid the 2s. 6d. and went away, convinced that those who stay at home and stick to their trades will largely participate in the profits of the gold digger. In January last I was paying 30s. a week, or at the rate of ital. a year, with board, to a bullock driver, whom I could have hired last year at about 301. a year. When this man's time with me expired, he was offered 31. .a week, or at the rate of 1561. a year, with board, for driving bullocks between Melbourne and Mount Alexander. I know a journeyman carpenter who was at the same time offered 41. a week, with board and constant employment, which he refused—then went to the diggings. In England there is a large class of young men, who are well educated, but are not brought up to any business pursuits. Many of this Class make their way to the colonies. They bring letters of introduction to respectable and wealthy people often to the Governor—and imagine their fortunes are made. Poor fellows ! Any well-instructed colonist can see with half an eye that they are unfit for hard work, and therefore ne cessarily unfit for the colony. Often, persons such as the:3e are returned home to their parents, like unsale able bales of merchandise ; and tco frequently, alas ! they remain to disgrace their name, to ruin their character, and to debauch their lives. ' England is a nation of shopkeepers,' said Napoleon. 1 30 e s n o d rather than it should be composed of men unfit sbonld disqualified to obey the mandate, ' that Vl' 5 hi Colo eat his bread by the sweat of his brow.

G . las r!ay Mr. Gilpin (the contractor), Mr. Griffin (tITe engineer), Mr. Dering, and numerous other per sons, the Reliance, with her crew and cable on board, being under the command of Captain Hawes, R.N., who is well acquainted with the nature of the navigation. The expedition steamed out under the auspices of favourable tide and wind, from Donag hadee to the point where, on the 18th instant, the six miles of cable already submerged were secured to a buoy out at sea, owing to the haziness of the weather on that occasion, and the high run of the spring tides, which then induced Cup'eein Hawes to recommend that further progress should be postponed until Sa turday, when advantage might be taken of the neap tides. Arrived at this point, the reliance and attendant tugs hove to, it being necessary to haul up the extremity of the six miles of cable already submerged to connect it with the remaining fifteen on board, the distance across being twenty-one miles. At this juncture a formidable, but in the end only temporary, obstacle presented itself, it being found that the telegraphic tackle resisted the combined efforts of the crew of about fourteen or fifteen men to raise it from its sub marine recess, in spite of the most vigorous pulling. Conjecture, as on occasions of similar novelty, gave rise to strange but mistaken surmises. It was at first feared that the cable had become transfixed by the falling of some wreck or debris upon it— that it had become fastened in the fissure of some rock, or that some of the heavier denizens of the deep were indulging in an oceanic siesta upon it; at any rate the cable was destined to become a skipping rope for some generation of Neptunes. But a more practical knowledge of the Channel dissipated imagi nary doubts, it having been ascertained from sound ings that the depth of the channel between Portpatrick and Donaghadee is an average of 70 fathoms, princi pally of ooze, soft mud, sand and shells, and free from fishermen's kedges. All conjecture, however, was set at rest by a conclusive " long pull, and strong pull, and pull altogether" on the part of the crew, which had the effect of bringing from its briny abode into the light of day, carbuncled with shells, coral, and sea weed, an immense ship's anchor, asserted by the oldest seaman on board to be at least 100 years old, and certainly differing very materially in its fashion ing from the celebrated " Exhibition prize anchors" that were pitted against the Admiralty anchors the other day, though quite equal to either in ponderousness and power of " holding on." It i s stated that, notwithstanding the severe strain, the callibre of the cable was not injured from the effect of its submarine burden, and that, more on account of the curious mode of its recovery than of its real salvage value, it is to be anchored for the remainder of its days on " dry tandr in the Mu seum at Belfast. The amusing i m pediment over come, the expedition proceeded towards Portpatrick, paying out the fifteen miles of cable at the rate of three miles an hour, without anything more _ obser vable until, amid heavy gale and sea, it reached Port patrick at ten at night, when the communication wias ca e. tested and ascertained over the entire scope of b Owing to the difficult access, arising from the over hanging rocks at Portpatrick, the cable was attached to a buoy in the bay, and subsequent l y in land.carried As misapprehensions exist relative to the present state of the land telegraphic communication in con nexion with the cable, it may be sta ted thaton!h e Lists coast from Donaghadee to Belfast the land wires, } are completed, and will be to Dublin shortly. rom Portpatrick, on the Scottish coast, there being no railway, the wires are also completed underground; but a break of thirty miles ocours between Dnmfriea and Carlisle, the Glasgow and South-Western Rail. way having no wires on their railway, so that this break will, unfortunately, for the present prevent any through communication being Effected between Ire land and England. Should no telegraph be laid over the Glasgow and South-Western, wires will at once be laid down along the common road between Dumfries and Carlisle vid Gretna Green ; and in the mean time the telegraphic dispatch will have to be taken over the thirty miles of break by express or other train, involving the delay of about an hour, instead of enabling, as is intended, a telegraphic dispatch to be expressed between London and Dublin, and 'Ace versa, in the space of two or three minutese—Chre nick.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY AND CHESTaR.—The directors et this company have issued a long statement in respect to ve.rio.us proceedings taken by 'certain shareholders ; w/13 are cadeavourirg to bible; about an aaraement far a laare of the line to the Lo cdon and North-Western Company, at a rent equivalent to 4 per cent. per an The directors state, that a bicdiaz agreement, under seal, already exists bertween the Shrewsbury and Chester, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, _tied the Groat Western Railway Con ipanies for the working of the lines and the interchange of traffic, which agreement wilt take the precedence of cry other that may be pro posed; that not only have Oa° Great Western kept faith with the company, but they save consented, conditionally, to several modifications for the clear benefit of the Shrewsbury and Chester Ccuipany, which were preskaal upon them by the directors of the latter company. They maintain :hat the policy which makes the line a part of a great acts :ma of continuous railway communication (rein L )ra 'en to the river alersPy has been successful in ( stobllshirg its impartanca and value; that the Great I/ Testern is naturally identi fied with the interests of the Shrewsbury and Cheater C om pany, while the interest of the London end North western has ever been, and must ever continuo to ba, opposed to that line of corium unication. In reference to the proceedings of the dire chars of the company before Parliament during the last Bassion, they state,that they have obtained powers to cansfirm existing agreements, and to enter into new agree meats with the Duke of Bridgewater's trustees, whiatt will afford the company a great accession of traffic from north to south, and unequalled goods station accommodation at Liverpool and Manchester. They have also cbtained power to construct two short branches, connecting the Birken head line, near Warringtora with the canals and naviga tion of the Bridgewater tru Aces, which, when taken in connexion with the running siov:ers over the Birkenhead line towards Liverpool and Manchester, practically ex tends the Shrewsbary and Chester line to those places. They state that their ally the Shrewsbury and Birming ham Company have obtained Parliamentary powers au thorising them to make use of the London and North- Western station at Birmir Khasi, and, as they have already power t o run over ;the Stour Valley line , which is now open, the chain of communication will thus be completed between Birmiaigham at one ad and Man chester and Liverpool at the other. In conclusion, the directors state that the shareholders may rest as sured that a steady adherence to the policy hitherto pursued, and to the agreement,: entered into for carrying out that policy, is not merely - the only course which can safely be adopted to protect th em from interminable liti- • - gation t but that which will DA on,opeed a y and certainly rt i tv•al l itet give them the best return on the property invested in the • undertaking. SOUTH WALES.—Arrangaiients are in progress for extending the electric telegraph over the whole of the South Wales Railway, so as To connect all the ports and places on the coast with the west of England and the me tropolis by telegraph. EXTENSION OF TUE ELECTRIC TELEGRA.PII TO PAD DINGTON.—During the lest few days, permission having been given by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, workmen have been busily engaged in laying under ground wires for the Electric Telegraph Company from Albert-gate, whore the wires communicate with Loth• bury and the Strand, through Kensington-gardens and Hyde Park, to Paddington, so as to complete the line of communication between the metropolis and the wires oa the Great Western Railway to the West of England. The wires that were laid down throughout the whole in terior of the late Crystal Palace have been worked in for this purpose, and are continued along the bridge over the Serpentine to Paddington, which the workmen reached yesterday.

At the time of the accident many men and boys were at work below, who rendered every possible assistance to the sufferers, but of course without being able to administer the surgical relief they re quired. In the meantime those engaged above were ex ertisg themselves to attach another rope to the engine, in which they succeeded after the lapse of about half an hour, and the sufferers were then brought to the sur face. They are—William Banner, of Radford, aged 40; John Husbands, of Radford, aged 36; William Robinson, of Wollaton, aged 25; and William Bonser, of Radford, aged 60, Husbands is a smith, and had been into the pit for the purple of shoeing the horses, mules, and asses working therein, which are seldom brought out, except in case of sickness or death; the other three ore batty colliers, and hold the contract for working that pit. Banner and Husbands were removed to the General Hospital at Nottingham. The former has sustained a compound fracture or the left leg and a disloc:ttion of the right ankle, and the letter is suffering from a contused wound of the scalp and a sprained ankle. Robinson and Bonser were taken to their owa homes, where they are attended by Dr. Williams and Mr. Thompson. Robinson has kis right hip badly contused, one fcot dislocated, and he CO:l2p:niLS of severe pain inside; ho is believed to be in great dan ger. Bonser has several ribs on the left side and a bona in his right ankle fractured. In the absence of an offi cial it is to be feared that the accident is entirely the result of reckless inattention. The rope, which had been a year and a half in use, was• worn cut, and there fore could not sustain weights any longer, oven light once. Our reporter was informed in the village that the colliers had for some time past suffered themselves to be raised and lowered by the defective rope with fear and trembling, and that shey had more than once re monstrated against its use, but without their remon strances being heeded. Only one moment before it snapped, and the poor follows were hurled to the bottom, one of them exclaimed, " Oh! if this rope should bresk!" It is said that one of the engineers cut off a piece of the chafed cable after the accident, and destroyed it, so that it may not be forthcoming when required by the coroner or the Government inspector. • 4? PAW. STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. On Wednesday evening an accident happened on the Thames, off Bermondsey, which created a painful feeling of alarm and excitement among the numerous persons who witnessed it. A few minutes before six o'clock the Herne Bay Company's steam-packet Father Thames, from Margate and Herne Bay, was ooming up the Pool at full speed, on her way to Fresh Wharf, when she met with a boat, containing five ballast getters and a lighten man, who were crossing the stream from the south to the north side of the 'river. The people in the boat seemed alarmed at the rapid approach of the steamer, and as they neared each other Captain Greenland, the master of the Father Thames, called to them to pull over, when a sudden panic arose among the people in the ballast boat, and two of the men in her stern jumped up and caught hold of the oars rowed by the two others, and pulled the boat a-stern, which brought her right athwart the steamer's bow, and swamped her in an instant. The steamer's engines were stopped when the coilizion took place, but the Father Thames had great way on her, and went right over the boat which was swamped, an d t h e six men were i mme rsed in the stream.
