The order in which shares will be Paid off in this manner will be determined by ballot. The estates are s tuated in various parts of the Island, and Will in great measure be intersected by, or in the neighbaur hood of, the several lines of railway now projected, and also the several new roads about to 132 constructs i by the Govern- M et tit,ng. tor which p ur p ose they have voted One Million Pounds en liSome portions of th e es t ates are under tillage; a considerable extent consists of pasturage, and the remaining portions contain forests of oak and other valuable timber. From these forests the do.kyards of England, France, and Italy have for many years past derived and are now driving their supplies of the finest oak. SardiLia is extremely rich in minerals, particularly lead,silver copper, and ironstone, the latter of the highest quality. Besides thest minerals, the Island contains extensive coal fields, which will be developed by means of the intended railways. ingsThe lines n - .w projected will be single (with requisite sid and pas s i ng p l aces), and will be about 210 miles in length ; years are allowed for their eompletion.

From Oristano to Ozieri 4. Prom Ozieri, through the city of Sat sari, to Porto Torres. . Prom Ozieri to Terra Nova. Thus, throug,hout the whole length of the Island, will be established a compete system of railways, brig is into clos er connexio n th e respective shores of the Mediterranean The Most eminent contractors to this country have care fully examined the detailed surveys and sections of the pro jected lines, prepared by the Company's Engineer, and have offered to contract for their construction at a sum which, after snaking provision for all preliminary and contingent ex penses, wi 1 fall within the amcunt of capital now proposed to be raised. .. The working- expenses of railways in Italy and Prance rarely average 42 per cant of the gross 'incepts. This Com pany has stipulated for an allow ge e of 'in creased to 66 2-3 per cent. during the firbt perfiveceyn , , in case the gross receipts do not exceed 10,000 lire per kilometre. On the other hand, the Government have reserved the op tical of purchasing the railways, at any time after the exni r Ilion of 30 years. upon payment to the Cempany of the va'ue of the rolling sleek. Sze., and an annuity for the remainder of the term of 99 years ; such annuity to be not less titan the average net income of the five most productive of the last seven years, and not less than the net income of the last year preceding such purchas ‘.

NEW YORK, April 16. t... 1 7 0 The 5 .R rk Herald says the latest ne ws con corning-v'. I?tate of affairs around Suffolk, Va., is to the* ltfi itst. The attempts of the rebel Gen. Longstreet W"Vross the Nansemond river with th e - l aid of pontoons were defeated by the fire of our artillery. One of our gunboats—the Mount Wash ington —was fired into and disabled by the rebel batteries while coming down the river on the 14th inst. She was, however, taken in tow and brought safely through the heavy fire of the enemy. With regard to the news from the vicinity of Suffolk we may state that there is a good deal of feeling in this city relative to the shooting of Lieut.- Col. Kimball by General Corcoran. The letters from Suffolk are conflicting in their statements, but the truth of the matter will, no doubt, be received on the return of the committer.: who went on for the body cf Col. Kimball. Our extracts from the Southern papers to-day are very interesting. The most important item is the full confirmation of our success over General Van Dorn at Franklin, Tenn. The rebels admit that their loss was heavy, and that they had to retreat after six hours' hard fighting. Our news relative to affairs at Charleston came from Fortress Monroe yesterday, on the authority of the Richmond papers, Everything was quiet there. Our troops are in occupation of Coles' Island and the islands of Kiawah and Seabrook in con siderable force. Gen. Beauregard had issued a congratulatory order to the rebel troops in his usual bombastic style, conveying to them certain com mendatory resolutions of the Legislature of South Carolina. The only intelligence we have from the West is the statement of the Richmond papers, of the 16th inst., that two gunboats and three transports had been destroyed on the Cumberland river by Wheeler's rebel cavalry. By the arrival of the British Queen from Nassau, N. P., we learn that fourteen vessels from rebel ports had arrived there from the 16th of March to the 10th of the month, all bringing cargoes of cotton. The following are the latest despatches from Charleston:— FORTRESS MONROE, April 17. Richmond papers of the 16th inst. are received, from which we obtain the following intelligence;--- All is quiet at Charleston. The Federals occupy Coles', Kiawah, and Sea brook's Islands in considerable force. They are protected by their gunboats. (From the Richmond Enquirer, April 15.) Charleston, April 13. All quiet here. A few blockaders and the fri gate Ironsides off the bar are the only vessels in sight to-day. A steams - hip arrived this morning from Bermuda with a cargo of army equipments, &c., for the Go vernment. (From the Richmond AFentinel, April 15,) Colonel L. M, Keitt, Twentieth Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, has been for twelve months in command of Sullivan's Island, and for some of the time his command included the Main of Christ Church Parish. The batteries on Sullivan's Island have been in great part erected and prepared under his orders. During the bombardment on Tuesday, 7th inst., he was actively engaged in Fcrt Moultrie and Battery Bee, and between them. (From the Charleston Illereury, April 11.) GENERAL ORDERS —NO. 55. Headquarters, Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Charleston, S. C., April 10. The commanding General is gratified to have to announce to the troops the following joint resolu tions unanimously adopted by the Legislature of the State of South Carolina : Resolved, That the General Assembly reposes unbounded confidence in the ability and skill of the Commanding General of this Department, and the courage and patriotism of ,his brave soldiers, with the blessing of God, to defend our beloved city, and to beat back our vindictive foes. Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor be instructed to communicate this resolution to Gen. Beauregard. Soldiers! the eyes of your countrymen are now turned upon you o n th e eve of the second ann iver sary of the 13th of April, 1861, when the sove• reignty of the State of South Carolina was triumphantly vindicated within the harbour which We are now about to defend. The happy issue of the action ou the 7th inst —the stranded, ed wreck of th e iron mailed Keokuk —her 135ffie riddld coed jutorsforced to r e ti re b eyond the range of our guns) have the country th a t our precious char inspired confidence in ulti m ate success will be compl e t e .

QUEEN SLAND AND EIIIGRATION.—The estimate on the spot is that Queensland could receive and provide for 2,000 duly qualified immigrants per month, for a long time to come. These 2,000 must be men, women, and children, of all ages below five-and-thirty, or so; they must be able and disposed to work heartily and steadily ; and this includes steadiness and temperance of character and habits. If they are good-humoured and cheerful and sensible, they may begin to prosper at once—may have land, may grow cotton for their old comrades to work up at home, and may be better off than they ever were, or even could have been, in laulcalahire,—Oncf a Week. THE NAVY. The screw corvette CadmuP, 21, 460 horse power, Capt. Ross, dismantling in Chatham harbour, has returned the chief part of her stores into the dock yard, and to-day will be placed under the floating shears to have her guns, masts, and other portions of her heavy gear lifted out. As soon as paid off she will be placed in the Chatham steam reserve. Her Majesty's iron screw steamer Lord Penn tire, H. T. Moore, Commander, in the service of the War D.Tartment, sailed yesterday from Woolwich Arse nal will l forGprreoecneleiidthtoo Portsmouthtoadjustco dmapnaspsees,voanftpeorrz and which she discharge her cargo, consisting of 550 tons of shot, shell, and other war stores. She is to embark a working party of the Royal Artillery at Devonl) ort, u nder orders to disarm the Cumin of St. Mu ain the Island of Scilly, after which she will return to Doionport and reload for loolwich. On Monday the Lord Panmure steamed down to the Nero Light from Woolwich and back on a trial trip, to test her machinery and speed. She had been laid up in dock for the last three months, under the hands of Messrs. Simpson and Co., cnginecrs and marine contractors in the Isle of Dogs, where she was stripped to the bare shell, and extensively repaired in hull and en gines, fitted with new decks, and coated with Day and Peacock's composition... The trial on Monday was exceedingly satisfactory, ar, although laden with her full cargo in readiness for departure,, her rate of speed was at first 101 and afterwards 101 knots per hour. This is a marked increase on her former speed, which is attributed to the lengthening of her funnel and other improvements, which now give an increased draught through the fires. Th© advantage thereby gained is important, as. ,the highest rate of speed realised on her trial trip when new and light is stated not to have exceeded 10 knots per heut. Yesterday a numerous body of workmen at Chat-. m dctckyard commenced preparations for the •-, launch of the paddlewheel despatch steamer Sala mis, 4, 250 horse power, which is to take place on the 19th May. The bulkheads at the seaward sido of the shed under which she is building have been taken down, and yesterday the mechanics com menced the erection of a gallery at the stem of the ship, for the accommodation of visitors. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—John Ligertwood, assist.- surg., to the Jackall ; G. A. Tusk, chief engineer, to the Royal Oak ;•john Hill, engineer, to the Royal Oak; Philip. Richmond, acting engineer, to the Royal Oak ; Albert Martell, Jas.

IRON-CLADS. ._.- The presence before Charleston of three distinct types of iron-clads, represented by the Monitors, the Keokuk and the Ironsides, affords an interesting means of comparing the relative merits of the dif ferent models, The test is, however, hardly a fair one, as some of the vessels wer e much more exposed to fire than others. It would have been interestig, f o r example, to have seen how the Ironside,s woubld have behaved under the amount of fire received y r a.w wrought in a aau the Keokuk, and under the same range at which she was placed.

From deserters it has been ascertained that Long street commands the rebel forces in person, which are said to number nearly 50,000. I also under stand that the greater portion of the rebel army has been withdrawn from the Rappahannock, and are concentrating in Eastern Virginia and Nurth Carolina. The latest Richmond papers make no fnrther mention of the impending difficulties at Suffolk than by a mere mention that General Longstreet was known to be within two miles of the town, threatening an attack. Communicatio❑ between Norfo:k and Saffulk is uninterrupted by land, and no fears are entertained for a cut-off. Oar troops are in the best of spirits, and anxious to come in conflict with the rebel traitors. Major General Dix, accompanied by Lieutenant- Colonel W. H. Ludlow and Captain Thomas Lord, Jr., repaired to Norfolk this morning by the steamer Henry Burden, Captain G. A. Cole. It is possible that the General may go as far as Suffolk ere he returns. Great activity prevails in all branches of this department, and if an attack ensues, I hope to give a good acconut of - the troops here. B►igadier General Seymour, chief of Major-filen.

Van Dorn attacked the enemy, with 7,000 cavalry and Freeman's bat tery. The Federals retreated, but advanced again with heavy reinforcements. A bloody fight ensued. Freeman's battery was captured and Freeman killed. Our loss is heavy. We retreated from the place after six hours' hard fighting. Later accounts represent the recapture of our artillery after the fall of Freeman. We took no prisoners. _ _ . (From the Richmond Sentinel, .April 15.) Grenada, Miss., April 12. Large reinforcements and commissary and quartermas ter's stores have arrived. The new plan is to send a force to each of three railroads coming south. Grant's army joins Roscncranz by water. The Tennessee is falling rapidly. Lieutenant-General E Kith) , Smi h has published an order assuming command of the Confederate forces west of the Mississippi. Alexandria, La., is announced as his head quarters. The telegraph brings us news of Wheeler's operations in Tennessee, in his character of general superintendent of the railroads in that State and Kentucky, and master of trans portation for Rosencranz. He has Leen altering the schedule, &c., on two roads in Rosey's rear, no doubt to his great disgust. We have reports also that Van Dorn has had a fight at Franklin, which seemed to have been marked by fluctuat ing and not very prosperous fortunes. Van Dorn is a fight ing man, but does not always win. We do not imagine that the affair was an important one. Franklin is 19 miles south of Nashville, From Suffolk wo learn, by way of Petersburg, that Long street's men were known to be within two miles of Suffolk yesterday morning, and that eit;zens who left the vicinity report that firing commenced at half-past five, and was still progressing at nine o'clock, when the informants passed out of hearing. The forces of the enemy at Suffolk are vari ously stated. It is probable that Longstreet, who is known to have been advancing on them, attacked them yesterday morning. From Gen. D. 11. Hill and his operations at Washing ton, N.C., we have nothing additional. From the Rappahanock, we have a report that there was fighting yesterday morning at Kelley's Ford. We do not rely upon it. From Gen. Wise's movement on Williamsburg, we have nothing further. WASHINGTON, April 17. Lieut.-Commandant Cushing sends to the Navy Department the following despatch : United States Steamer, Commodore Barney, Nansemond River, April 14, 7 30 p.m. This morning the vessels from above came down—the Mount Washington disabled. About half-past 11 a.m. the enemy opened fire on us with some pieces of artillery, giving us a cross fire. At once we got under weigh and went into action, silencing the enemy in an hour. At about 1 p.m. the rebels took up a position within 700 yards of the Mount Washington, which was grounded, and opened upon us with both artillery and sharpshooters. I kept close to the disabled Mount Washington, and fought the enemy until high water, when I ordered the Stepping Stones to take the Mount Washington in tow. This was done under a heavy fire, and at 5 p.m. I had the satisfaction of silencing the enemy's battery. My loss foots up three killed and seven wounded. I do not know as yet what the casualties are is the other vessels. I have eight raking shots, but fortunately my engine is not disabled. I can assure you that the Barney and her crew are still in good fighting trim, and we will teat the enemy or sink at our post. The most of the wounded and the dead I send down to the Minnesota. It is only requisite to look at the Mount 'Washington to see with what daring gallantry Lieutenant Lawson fought his vessel. I am now taking her in tow, and shall anchor for the night where we have fought all day. Acting Rear Admiral Lee telegraphs to the Secre tary of the Navy as follows :•-'• Orr NEWPORT'S NEWS, April 16, an 6 d A. there 3 jst r. Reports from Lieutenants Cushing and L a wson u received. The enemy have no t crossed the river, is every indication that they are retreating, though they still have some artillery and sharpshooters on the Nanse- mond. Our loafs shot down a number of their mcn to-day with canister. We have had three wounded, making in all five killed and 18 wound in our little flotilla, to which, from w hat I can learn, the fight has been pretty much confined. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the IVassau Gurrdian, March 2(.) . - There have been two arrivals from Charleston since our last, the steamer Ruby, Captain Carlin, having come in on Monday, and the steamer Flora, Captain Pickernell, yesterday. Both brought dates to the 20th inst. The Flora, on leaving this port last trip, passed, on the 14th inst., near the western edge of the Gulf Stream, several casks, a panel door and two clinker built boats. The last named were bottom upwards and painted green, with a narq.w yellow stripe. The steamer was stopped,: ,and a .mat lowered for the purpose of ascertaining the name pn the boats, if possible, but nothing Was discernible on them or the other articles whit? : could leaf to their identification. On nearing the blockading Equadron, the Flora was chased close to Fort Moultrie, having about thirty shot and shell discharged at her without effect. One shot passed near enough to an officer on deck, however, to cause him to feel sensibly the agitation of the atmosphere around. The success of eluding the vigilance of the blockaders may be undoubtedly attributed to the skill and persever ance of Captain Pickernell and his cffieers, com bined with the fleetness of the steamer. The Flora is the vessel furnished with a double screw, of which we published a description a short time since. (Front the assau Guardian, April 11.) The steamer Marga re t an d Jessie, Captain Wil son, arrived from Charleston last evening, bringing dates to the Bth instant. The long expected attack on Charleston took place on Tuesday last, the 7th instant. Ten Moni tors and the Ironsides, beside about twenty-seven wooden vessels, were engaged in the bombardment. The Ironsides and the iron-clad Keokuk were se verely injured, and Captain Wilson reports having seen, on coming out of Charleston, a vessel sup. posed to be the latter, with nothing but her turrets out of water. thepaiissaevnagnearson Thursday night, w e in the yacht J u li a , struck which ß y onearrived from sunken rock ( no t learn that the steame r M ar i on , Johnson, master, be e lon w gin o g rl t e o an S s po l ff in o e r , d and T N oilnestaon's New York an d put down in the chart), about nine miles north of Double Headed Shot Cay lighthouse, at five p.m. on Thursday, the 2d inst. She was bound from New York to New Orleans with a valuable assorted cargo. She passed over the rock, but was so much injured that she was with difficulty navigated to the lighthouse, and just on reaching it she leaked so considerably that the fires in the engine-room were extinguished. In this emergency the captain was compelled to beach her, and she immediately bilged. Mr. J. B. Squires (of the firm of Squires Brothers, of this city), who is engaged in the erection of a building attached to the lighthouse, with the assist ance of his workmen, succeeded in saving a large quantity of the Marion's cargo. _ Captain Johnston hailed a schooner which passed on the day after the disaster, in which he despatched the purser and several of his crew to Nassau in order to procure a steamer for the purpose of forwarding the passengers to their destination, but, all the steamers here being engaged, the schooner Vigilant has been chartered for that purpose. Eleven of the passengers took passage on board a b r i g b oun d t o Cardenas ; but the rest preferred waiting for an arrival from Nassau. They had erected tents for shelter, and, having saved the provisi ons an d s t or es circumstances oftheUarion ,wereenjoying th emse l ves as we ll as would allow. Several small vessels arrived at Havana during last week loaded with cotton from the Gulf ports.

One of our gunboats—the Mount Washington_ was coming down the Nansemond on Tuesday night, and was completely riddled by field rifle artillery. The first shot th:..kt struck her went clear through her boilers; but by goo,l luck the vessel was running with a small head of ,steam, and the explosion caused by the ball killed ()oil? one of the crew.
