It is a source cf no little gratification to those who have the construction and management of this great undertak ing that it has now, when barely completed, taken its place as one of the first and best conducted railroads in the United States. Notwithstanding the ignorant prejudice which has existed and the interested opposition which has been experienced from its commencement, we now see by the energy, perseverance, and wisdom with which its affairs have been managed, that alliance with it is desired by some of the leading railway companies in America. The Philadelphia and Reading is undeniably one of the most prosperous, earning, as it has done, during the past two years, upwards of 20 per cent. per annum on its share capital; and we think, when the terms of agreowent be tween it and the Atlantic and Great Western are read, the share and bond holders of the latter company must be more than ever convinced of the value of their property, seeing that a connection with it is sought and prized by an old established and successful neighbour. It is also pleasing to notice, that while the traffic receipts on many other linos exhibit a considerable falling off, that of the Atlantic and Great Western, for the month of December, shows an increase over the same month of ... xf .•7 , The Brighton AtiffilitiSPAPE R !4 The unfortunate wo man I - - q --/L- '-% ' . //,. .. -------. hot by Leigh on Thur s d a ' - i : r gradually throughout Fri - 7 t4 i I •, . ,!itiq l 44-a* ,N: V-• r .,.. - 4 ,.. the conclusion of the exa fug --k s .:ll before the magistrates.

About the same time his wife had an interview with him, dur ing which his conduct and expressions were of the most heartless and callous nature. During Friday afternoon the ball fired at Super intendent Barnden was brought to the police-station. When discharged it must have struck the ground, rebounded thence to the wall of the house against which prisoner was standing, and thence rebounded again with such force as to cut through the coat and trousers of a bystander. This man at the moment of the discharge felt a sensation in the back of his leg as if he had been stabbed, but in the excitement of the occasion he took no further heed. When he got home and was undressing for bed he saw he had been cut, and found the flattened bul let in the lower part of his clothes. Barnden's escape was one of the narrowest possible, for the people around prisoner formed a semicircle at toler ably safe distance, and the superintendent walked through it towards prisoner without the least hesi tation. The inquest was opened on Saturday afternoon. Only two witnesses--Dr. Stephens and the man. Hastings —were examined, but some fresh parti culars were elicited from the latter. When he came back from calling the doctor he found ILeigh standing in the roadway with the pistol in hie hand and directed the attention of the police to him, saying he was the man who had shot Mrs. Harton. Prisoner presented the pistol at them, and exclaimed, " Come on you ; lam ready for you." It further appeared that there was a cause of quarrel between Mrs. Harton and Leigh. Last April he had advanced her husband £5O to take the Jolly Fisherman Tavern, and had suddenly called in the loan, taking out a county-court sum mons for the balance. This was paid, but Mrs. Harton had afterwards made a claim against Leigh for the maintenance of his wife and her child. This was not paid by Leigh. Wit ness further explained, that although he went to the Bedford Tap on Tuesday to meet Leigh, at his wife's desire, lie afterwards found that the wife had been there before him, and had seen her husband. lle had been told that while in the tap Leigh had pointed a pistol to his wife's back. It is thought that his object in standing in the street after shooting Mrs. Harton was to wait his wife's approach in order to shoot her too. She, however, kept out of his way. Leigh received a severe skull wound during his service in China. The statement taken from and signed by the deceased woman at Thursday midnight was produced and read. The only new circumstance it alluded to was that on the Tuesday night previous Leigh attempted to force his way into the tavern, but Mrs. Harton shut and locked the door in his face. Hastings said the de ceased and Leigh then had a very angry quarrel, during which she called him a pirate, murderer, and thief. His wife was with him, and was also locked out by the deceased. The inquest was adj Durned to Friday next. PRICE. 4d. STAMPED sd. previous year of $242,696 ; while for the whole of 1865 the earnings are $2,932,876 more than in 1864.

The Alleged Capture of Bagdad in Mexico. Tho following telegraphic despatches, referring to the alleged capture of Bagdad on the Rio Grande by a band of American filibusters, are published in the New York papers of the 24th ult New Orleans, Jan. 21, 1866. Brownsville accounts of the 15th inst. give an impartial and correct statement of the capture of Bagdad, which is as follows :—A party of 123, mostly coloured soldiers, be longing to the One Hundred and Eighteenth United States coloured infantry, under the command of Colonel Reed, crossed the Rio Grande at Clarksville and divided into three squads. At 4 o'clock on the morning of the sth inst. the first squad entered Bagdad, which they surprised, cap turing about 400 prisoners and four pieces of artillery. The second party proceeded to the ferry, where an imperial guard of ten men were stationed. The officer command ing this guard held his post bravely, firing his revolver at the attacking party, whereupon he was shot down, and the others belonging to the guard surrendered. In this affair ono imperialist was killed, and another wounded. The third party proceeded to the quarters of Colonel Rice, post commander at Bagdad, and took him and those with him prisoners. Colonel Rice subsequently escaped, but was retaken. A squad of ten men were then detailed to take the imperial gunboat Antonio, and fired on her, killing a sergeant and wounding several others. The Antonio fired at the attacking party, killing two and wounding one of them. The attacking party then fired two shots from a howitzer at the Antonio, one of which passed through her just above the water line. On the morning of the Gth instant a French frigate lying out side shelled the place. Shots afterwards were freely exchanged between the liberals' howitzers on the beach and a howitzer boat from the frigate. No damage was done by their firing beyond creating a panic among the citizens of Bagdad,who crossed to the American side of the Rio Grande, taking with them such of their valuables as they could hurriedly carry off. A detachment of 200 men from the 118th Coloured Infantry was sent over to protect the Ame rican citizens remaining in the place. This detachment continued on guard there until the evening of the 7th inst., when a detachment from the 46th Coloured Infantry re lieved them, with instructions, it is said, to withdraw in case of an imperial attack. The French mail steamerlying outside the bar left immediately after the affair, probably for Vera Cruz. Bagdad was nearly deserted, and plunder and pillage was uninterruptedly kept up by its captors. A large amount of stolen goods was crossed over the river to Clarkesville. Those which arrived at Brownsville were seized and returned to the proper owners . After wrangling for several days with General Escobedo regarding the command of the liberal forces, General Crawford left for New Orleans (where he has since arrived), seeking rein forcements and supplies. A small force of liberals are for tifying Bagdad with cotton bales. Three French transports arrived at the bar on the 13th inst. General Mejia has commenced building earthworks and mounting guns, whereof two aro 61-pounders, between Matamoras and the river, commanding Brownsville. He has notified Genera Weitzel that if attacked from the American side of the Rio Grande he will open fire, and that most likely some of the shots will lodge in Brownsville. General Giles A. Smit was immediately sent over to ascertain what the intentions of General Mejia were. The result of the meeting between the two is unknown. Is is believed that the ammunition of the belligerents has been removed three miles from Bronwsville. General Weitzel has ordered the rebuildingof old Fortßrown, which is being mounted with 30-pounderPar rotts. A long pontoon train is also being rapidly put in good order. General Mejia apprehends another attack, and is making another forced loan. He betrays much uneasiness of feeling. Several of his own guerillas, in attempting to desert by crossing the river, were drowned. American citizens visiting Matamoras are looked upon with suspicion and distrust, and United States officers and men are not allowed to cross the river. On the 14th instant General Weitzel reviewed the United States troops in Brownsville, all of whom were in excellent health and spirits. The Galveston Bullttin of the sth instant says that an engineer and pontoon train were embarking thence for the Rio Grande. r---)-- ) . -- -- :.....".'n. rated to En soon of ii ,,. ...' ! 1, ria . 4 " , "•0VVII:f: 4 : ;n: • ' 13 •- Mr. Peabody's Second Gift to London. New Orleans, Jan. 22, 1866. Colonel Lawrence Kip, of Sheridan's staff, who has been investigating the Ilagdacl affair, returned on Sunday morn ing. About four companies of black soldiers were doing provost duty in Bagdad at the solicitation of the American citizens, and no one could leave the town without a pass from the head-quarters of the United States forces in Bag dad, Mexico. The Times' Brownsville correspondent says: —Cortina now occupies Bagdad with about 200 men. It is understood that General Weitzel disapproves the action of our officers in the recent capture of Bagdad and already has arrested sours of them. A new party has sprung up in Mexico called the Ortega faction, the leaders of which hold commissions from Ortega, and refuse to recognise Crawford, and Cortina is said to belong to the party. All the heavy ordnance had been ordered from Brazos to Brownsville. Preparations of a belligerent character con tinued Both at Brownsville andliatamoras. The Rancheros says Canales had issued a proclamation to his soldiers, ad vising them to submit to the imperil authority rather than unite in a filibustering expedition with the Yankees. Gen. Crawford, Colonel Edgar, District Adjutant and Gover nor Leon, of Tamaulipas, have arrived here en route for Washington. Washington, Jan. 19. - - Telegraphic despatches of the 18th inst., from General Sheridan, at New Orleans, disavow all knowledge on his part of the filibustering attack on Bagdad, and state that his orders to subordinate officers lrtve been to preserve a strict neutrality. Re disbelieves the popular account of the affair, and considers it a "sensational story." The New York Times, in an article on the news received from the Rio Grande, says We are not surprised to hear that peremptory orders have been sent by the Government to General Sheridan to take instant steps to enforce the laws against Crawford and his filibusters, wwo are attempting to get our country into difficulty on the Rio Grande. It is strange that General Sheridan should have needed directions about such a matter. It i 3 singular that he should have permitted the occurrence, repetition, and continuance of such things as have been taking place along our Mexican frontier. [ t shows he regards his duti es th ere i n a ve ry different light from what he regarded his duties in the Shenandoah Valley a year ago. Were it Early, the rebel, instead of Crawford, the filibuster, who was in his department, we should quickly see him sent "whirling down the valley " in a style more amusing to spectators than to himself. And yet to the true soldier or intelligent patriot the duty required by the Government would be performed with as great alacrity in the one case as in the other. In the New Orleans news, telegraphed to us this morning, there is what is called an "impartial and correct state ment" of the capture of Bagdad. Acco rdin g to this i t ap pears the exploit was performed by negro troops wearing our uniform ; and that it was rea ll y an affair g ot up for the most discreditable purposed such as riots and plu n d er . We have no doubt that the authorities will now see to the prompt punishment of the offenders, for the coolness and audacity with which Crawford continues to operat e may be seen by the following among other sentences in the telegraphic despatch :—" After wrangling several days with General Escobedo regarding the command of the liberal forces, General Crawford left for New Orleans (whore he has since arrived) after reinforcements and sup plies." It is evident that a man is needed in our service on the Rio Grande who has the comprehension and skill of a statesman as well as the vigour and courage of a soldier; and the sooner we have such a man there the sooner will these wretched troubles which are perturbing the country be brought to an end. The Times, in commenting on Mr. George Pea body's second gift of one hundred thousands pounds to the poor of London, in addition to the one hun dred and fifty thousand pounds previously given by that gentleman, thinks it will be pardonable if it is unable to find adequate terms in which to express its acknowledgments of this noble act of charity. The mount of the gift, though not, perhaps, its most admirable characteristic, is of itself 'sufficient to render any expression of gratitude insignificant. With the former endowment the donation now amounts to a quarter of a million. Such a gift from one person is, probably, the most splendid act of munificence on record. But the manner of this gift is even more admirable than its magnitude, and is, in a still greater degree, beyond any ex pression of our thanks. It is not one of those posthumous bequests in which, however praise worthy they may be, a man only surrenders his property to the benefit of 'others when he can no longer retain it for his own gratification. This gift is made during the life of the donor, and, that he may increase the happiness of others, Mr. Peabody has denied to himself the use and the pleasure of a quarter of a million of money. It is true, indeed, that such charity brings with it a satisfaction far greater than any pleasure which is to be derived from the mere possession of riches, and Mr. Peabody, we may be sure, will not be without this recompense for his benevolence. But it is not every man who is capable of appreciating this generous pleasure ; and it is one of the highest virtues of humanity deliberately to prefer the satis faction of such charity to the reasonable enjoy ments which attend the possession of great wealth. When to these considerations it is added that the boon is spontaneously conferred upon the poor of this metropolis by one who, though he has resided among us for many years, is not himself an Eng lishman, nor bound to us by any particular ties, we appear to see every circumstance that could heighten the benevolence of the gift and overpower our gratitude. All England, moreover, rejoices in such a benefit conferred upon the poor of London, and it is the profound feeling of every Englishman which will thus be moved by Mr. Peabody's generosity. IMPORTANT contract RAILWAY CONTRACT. A very i m portant been negotiated betwe en t h e Atlantic and Great Western, and the Phila delphia and Reading Railway Companies, which provides for laying a line in the narrow gauge upon the Atlantic and Great Western Road to Cincinnati, Cleveland, and other Western cities, and also the immediate construction of a line of narrow-gauge railroad through Clarion, Jefferson, Centre, Union, and Northumberland counties, Pennyslvania, to connect the Great Western with the Catawissa Road, thus forming, by means of the latter road and the Philadelphia and Reading Road, a continu ous line of narrow-guage railroad from all the great cities West to Philadelphia and New York. One immediate result of this contract will be the establishment of a line of steamships between Philadelphia and England, for the building and equipment of which the two companies have agreed to contribute half the amount necessary. WHO is SENATOR CHANDLER ? The New York correspondent of the London .Herald thinks Englishmen may ask, who is this Chan dler that burns the candle at both ends—who would plunge into another great war even before our civil war is settled ? Well, Mr. Chandler is popularly known as the " Great American Blood letter." Judge him not by his name ; he bath no heart of tallow. It was Chandler, according to this correspondent, who, when the friends of con ciliation and peace were endeavouring to avert the disasters that seemed so imminent in the early spring of 1861 (during the session of the P eace Convention), declared in his place in the Senate that " without a little blood-letting, the Union would not be worth a —." 'Tis true, Chandler has never spilled any of his own blood ; he has never yet sniffed the battle-smoke, but he has been and he is willing to sacrifice the lives of any number of American citizens or foreigners— like Artemus Ward, all his own and his wife's rela tions—to maintain the cause of freedom. So he has clothed his neck with thunder (and filled his epigastriu m w i t h cock-tails), and has de molished several thousand rebels (in debate) ; having finished which little job, he is now pre pared to annihilate Great Britain. And by the way, as the late President would say, that reminds me of a little story. On the 27th of November, 1861, Chandler addressed a large number of his brother Michiganders in Kalamazoo. In the course of his speech he was interrupted by a call from some one in the crowd, " How about England, Zach ?" " England—England is disloyal to the noiwokeby wicked Copper heads)proposed the core—worse than the rebels." Doubtless it is to punish this "disloyalty" (which was at th e ti me coolly Chandler many a mad ethe th te at xtfor withdrawal of our Minister and complete non intercourse.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and or p hans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor fam ilies in want. Will' you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

Ad vices received furnish no additional intelligence of importance concerning the progress of the work of reconstruction. The people throughout that sec tion seem to be anxiously awaiting the action of Congress,aud, according to various correspondents, experience great satisfaction at the hearty support of President Johnson by the Democrats and Con servative Republicans. The labour question is a source of great anxiety among the planters in view of the approach of the planting season. The freedmen are reported to be generally averse to making labour contracts under the present condition of affairs ; and it is said that they persist in refusing work in a great many cases on account of representations made to them that the Federal Congress is vigorously legislating in their behalf, and will probably either donate to them con fiscated or public lands, or establish high rates of wages, and force the planters to pay the same. Ac counts from various sections, however, are more encouraging. In Georgia, according to statements of attaches of the Freedmen's Bureau, the negroes are generally manifesting a disposition to work in dustriously, and the planters are much encouraged in consequence. The mortality among the freed men in some sections is, however, said to be fearful, the deaths in Macon being at the rate of, 500 in a given number against 25 before the war. Federal troops have been obliged to be detailed to bury them while all funeral appurtenances had become ex hausted, and the interments were similar to those of the battle-field. The negroes of several Northern and Southern States were represented in convention in Washing ton yesterday, and resolutions were adopted oppos ing colonisation, advocating the continuation of the Freedmen's Bureau, and the bestowal of the right to vote upon all negroes. Advices from Texas report that a squad of soldiers of the 19th coloured regiment, under Lieutenant Murphy, recently made an attack upon an Imperial gun boat near Brownsville, but were repulsed. Lieu tenant Murphy will probably be dismissed the service, therefor. All Government employes at Fortress Monroe, who were connected in any manner with the rebel service, have been discharged by order of the War Department. This action grew out of the reported plot of a combination to release Jefferson Davis. The lowa Legislature has ratified the Constitu tional Amendment unanimously. The Fenian Congress in New York has elected a Central Council to take the place of the Senate. The coloured troops are being removed from Mississippi. It is reported that the Senate Committee will present a report in the New Jersey contested election case adverse to Senator Stockton. The gross expenditures of the United States Treasury for the quarter ending December 31, 1865, were $286,899,249.14. Four of the parties concerned in the recent robbery of the. Adams' Express Company have been arrested, and $250,000 of the money recovered. The American Home League in favour of protection have presented a remonstrance to both Houses of Congress against the petition of the Free-Trade League. The Committee on the death of Mr. Lincoln have investigated the brutal charges made by the New York News and other Democratic papers of thefts com mitted in the White house by members of the late Presi dent's family, and pronounce them utterly false. The Salt Lake City Union Ve lette gives the fol lowing racy synopsis of Mormon sermons preached by the bishops of the S.; 4: " on the preceding Sabbath, at the Thirteenth Ward Church in that city :—" Three Bishops audience as follows:—` Joseph Young (brother to o ß f ri t g h h e a La m) tt s e a r D id a : tyhaStaitiihtse' anointment entertained the illi teratere were good Mormons here in the church, but there were those that were not good Mormons ; them he shouldn't call Saints any more, but bastards. Next followed brother Joseph W. Young, who assured them that Brigham Young's credit to-day was better than President Johnson, or any of the Congressmen, and that his signature could get more goods than the whole United States Senators put together. Next old Bishop Woolley graced the pulpit, prefacing his text by telling the congregation that three stray pigs were confined in Brother Joseph's pen, and that their owners call, pay pound rent, and pack the pwoerrkeersrehquomesete2d to ” It is now said that President Juarez, of Mexico, is in San Antonio, Texas. Of course this is only a rumour, the truth of which we have no means of ascertaining. The Maine Legislature have passed resolutions calling for the immediate trial of Jefferson Davis. Hon. J. A. J. Creswell, Senator from Maryland, has been designated to pronounce a eulogy upon the late Henry Winter Da vis before the House Representatives. The guerilla Mosby has been arrested at Leesburg, and is held subject to the order of Gen. Ayre, commanding at Winchester. Alexander H. Stephens, the late rebel Vice- President, bears testimony in a letter to the fact that Union men in Georgia are persecuted more at the present time than during the rebellion. George W. Kendall, the originator of the New Orleans Picayune, and its leading editor for many years, but for the last ten or twelve years a large planter and sheep raiser in Texas, has returned to Now Orleans and again taken charge of the Picayune. Miss Harriet Lane, the niece of ex-President Buchanan, noted throughout the country as the most ac complished and elegant lady that ever presided at the White House, was married at Wheatland, the residence of ex-President Buchanan, a few days since, to Mr. Henry Johnson. The bridegroom is a wealthy banker of Balti more. Lieutenant-General Hardee, after a trip to Mobile and New Orleans, had arrived at his home in Savannah.
