The grading and masonry along the entire line of the Louisville and Cincinnati Railroad have been completed, and 36 miles of the track laid. All the bridges have been completed in the shops, and nearly all of them delivered along the line. The longest bridge on the road is the one over Banklick Creek, about nine miles from Covington, which is now building. It is 750 feet in length and 115 feet high. . _ _ legislationunAa nt unanimously o m u s e lay e n t meeting g resolved action n ivoen La f Crosse, tro t he procurec i tyWisconsin, othe fLa Crosse necessary it_ e ws a to issue $200,000 of bonds to aid in the construction rs' of one hundred and three miles of railroad between La Crosse and Mineral Point—sufficient aid from other sources having been pledged to secure the construction of this road within two years. The distance from La Crosse and Chicago will be about 23 miles shorter via Mineral Point than by the existing routes. The Illinois Central Railroad and the Galena division of the Chicago and North- Western Railway will both be greatly benefited by the opening of this new route to the Upper Missis sippi Valley. Cornelius - Vanderbilt is largely inte rested in the Mineral Point Railroad, and its stocks and bonds are in the hands of wealthy capitalists.

Articles of association have been filed for the Detroit, Eel River, and Illinois Railroad Company. The contemplated road will pass through the Comi ties of De Kalb; Noble, Allen, Whitley, Kosciusko , Miami, Cass, Carroll, White, Tippecanoe, and Benton, in Indiana. The capital stock is $1,000,000, and the length of the road in the State is one hun dred and sixty-two miles. The transfer books of the New York Central Railroad Company were closed on the 9th instant, preparatory to the annual elecilon for directors of the company, appointed to be held on the 9th day of December next, and will be re-opened on the morning of Thursday, the 10th day of December next. The Annual Meeting of the stockholders of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was to be held at the office, on November 18th ; of the Howard Insu rance Company, on December 7th ; of the Inter national Ocean Telegraph Company, on December Ist ; and of the Buffalo, New York, and Erie Rail road Company, at Buffalo, on December Ist. Another 20 mile section of the Central Pacific Railroad of California has been completed, making the 390th mile east of Sacramento. The Uuion Pacific Railroad, going from the east-west, reports the completion of its 900th mile, and only 400 miles more remain to be finished before the entire line iP completed; and most of this is graded. An American paper is not complimentary to Ignatius Donnelly; but if this man chooses to make him self conspicuous for gross abuso he cannot himself escape the consequences. " The defeat of the vulgar Congres sional blackguard Donnelly, in Minnesota, is confirmed. His character, and his determination to rule or ruin, lost the district to the Republicans ; but that will be a useful lesson. The Democrat chosen served honourably in the war, and is a gentleman as well as a soldier. He will pro bably be found supporting the Grant Administration.." General Kilpatrick, American Minister to Chili, has had his leave of absence extended three mouths, and in the meantime will deliver addresses in various parts of the country. He refuses to apologize for calling Forrest a bandit, or a ruffian, or some name of that sort, asserting its strict and undeniable truth, and he refuses as well to fight Forrest, at least so writes General Whittaker to Shackelford. The following is among the records of crime and punishment :—Kate Johnson, who hacked Bridget M`Der mot to death at Buffalo, New York, while drunk, about three months ago, has been sentenced to be hung Dec. 18. The second trial of General Cole. of Syracuse, New York, for the murder of L. Harris Hiscock, the seducer of his wife, has commenced at Albany, but is not finished. The most noticeable murder this week is that of Henry Hannah, of Brocklyn, on his own housetop, by a burglar whom he had discovered there about to enter his house. Abel Larkin, of Esperance, New York, was shot nearly to death on the piazza of his own house the other evening, and his wife and daughter have been arrested for attempt ing the murder." We may add what looks uncommonly like a murder, although it was against the Indians in Arizona—" The head chief of the Apache Mohaves and several of his followers, who have always professed to be friendly to the whites, were killed at La Paz, Arizona, and the excuse for their murder is th a t they' were re sponsible for all the depredations committed between La Paz and Prescott."

He had been but a few days in the town before he was informed that the Radicals had sent an emissary to Lon- don to " ferret out all the details of his private life," with a view, if possible, of blackening his character before the electors of Bury. The embassy failed in its object, partly because his character was proof against any such inspection, but mainly, be adds, because the emissary got drunk on his arrival in London, • and was immediately locked up - a circumstance which no doubt narrowed most 1 inconveniently his sphere of observation." THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR WIGAN 4,,..-__- -.. Hardly has the last body been recovered from the Oaks Colliery than we have to record another and very disas trous colliery explosion, Warnings have within the last few days appeared in nearly all the papers, cautioning colliery managers to be on the alert to prevent the freaks of the atmosphere from playing with the gases of the several mines, But though forewarned—and, it is hoped, in this case forearmed—the gases have asserted their dominion. As we stated yesterday, the colliery in which this disaster has taken place is worked by a limited company. The former owner was Mr. John Scowcroft, and the new company calls itselt by that gentleman's name, The mine in which the explosion has taken place is called the Arley Mine of the Hindley Green Colliery, It is situated some three-and-a-half or four miles from Wigan, in the centre of the Lancashire coalfields. Hitherto it has borne an excellent name. The Colliery. is an old one, but the mine itself is cona paratively new, having only been worked for some five or six years. No complaints have been made of . the coal giving out too much gas, nor, it is stated, had the managing authorities any ground for anticipating such a calamity. The system of employment prevailing in the pit, as in most collieries, of one man working with and receiving pay for two or more boys or other assistants, the principal of each party being the one registered in the company's hooks, makes it impossible tostate the precise number of persons who were in the mine at the time of the accident, but, as nearly as can-be ascertained, about 300 persons were em ployed in the mine, and of these at lea,:t 150 were lowered into the shaft on that morning at six o'clock. The pit is worked in four sections, known as the north east, north-west, south-east, and south-west sections. All are worked on the same levels, but the workings are divided, as respects ventilation, into two halves. The same shafts supply and carry off the exhausted air, but t:c the bottom of the pit the ventilating apparatus uivided into two branches, It was in the n0rt10v"....1 section, in which from sixty to seventy men Welv engaged, that the explo sion took place, Of the explosion itself very little is stated. It appeari that at six o'clock -in the morning the fireman made his rounds and found all safe, and yet before nine o'clock the explosion had occurred. It could hardly have been very violent, though it is said that it was felt a mile and a half away. Be this as it may, many of the men working in the east portion of the colliery knew not that anything alarming had happened, and continued their work for two hours after the event. But at the mouth of the pit it was immediately clear by the smoke and ddbris which were shot into the air that " something had gone wrong," and relatives came pour ing in from all quarters to see if their friends were hurt. Those who went to work to find the dead found their task difficult. The explosion altogether deranged the plan for ventilating the mine. The current of air was reversed, and for some time there were doubts as to whether the colliery was on fire. The engines were got out, and every prepara tion was made to extinguish the " destroying element." But, happily; it was discovered that there was no fire ; and after a short interval the air began to rush along the usual channels. The cage then descended, and several miners were found waiting at the bottom of the shaft, having providentially escaped through the choke damp,which stifled so many of those who were unable to free themselves from it in time. Mr. Thomas Southworth, the manager, with an underlooker named Ellis, who had given the alarm, then commenced the search for the bodies. The ventilation was still exceedingly imperfect, so that their work was arduous and dangerous as well as painful. The first who were found to have suffered w, ;ire some persons at work near the upcast shaft; they were burned owing to the flames from the furnace having been driven along the workings. Some few were found still alive, of whom a small proportion were able to help themselves. These latter escaped, but several were dying and never got alive to the mouth of the pit. Here energetic labour did good service. One man was apparently dead when he came from below. But for ten minutes artificial respiration was produced, and breath was, so to speak, brought back to the body, and the sufferer lives. For six hours the search was continued. The condition of the corpses varied considerably. Many of the boys who were killed had clean faces, and the features were as placid as if the healthy-looking lads were merely Slumbering. Some of the men were dreadfully wounded ; others were much burned, and in one instance the flesh had been burned to the bone off a man's fingers. Many of the killed were relatives. In the workshop on Thurday night lay the corpses of two brothers named Tyldesley. They were two of the four sons of a widow who only lost her husband quite recently. The other two sons were in the pit at• the time of the explosion ; one escaped without injury, but the other had to be taken home. One man had his bat blown off his head and his lamp extinguished by the explosion, but he escaped uninjured. Nearly all the dead bodies were found in such a position as to make it certain that they had left their working places, and were making their way to the shaft. Some bodies were taken up alive, and borne to their homes, which they just reached to die. But the details of this case are heartrending and sicken. ing. Suffice it to say that there were taken up dead, when found, some 54 bodies, the last being recovered about six hours after the occurrence. These are arranged in rooms adjoining the shaft, and have all been identified. Altogether the ascertained deaths are set down at from 57 to 60—the former number being the one which from the facts seems nearest the truth. It is supposed that two men, said to be named Beasley and Shannon, are still in the pit, it having been stated by some of those who have been rescued that they were seen going in the direction of the shaft, and, by another person, that he had heard men calling out that they were in the "sump," or " "—a large cavity filled with water at the bottom of the shaft. The " dib-hole " will be pumped dry, in order to test the truth of this statement, and rescue, if possible, the missing bodies. Another boy is also reported missing. On the meteorological part of this subject Mr. H. T. Negretti writes to a contemporary, apologising somewhat for seeming to puff his trade (meteorological instrument maker), but giving what he considers good advice. Meteorological observations, be most positively de clares, ought to be taken at every mine. " Expe rience proves it in this case, as it has done in almost every other. At every mine there should be at least one barometer, The late Admiral Fitzroy often spoke to me on the subject, and had he lived I doubt not but he would have placed barometers at every coal mine for the guidance of the miners, as he did in all the fishing villages for the benefit of fisher men. True, he was laughed at at first, and by the very men he intended to save; but how is it now? Fishermen never put to sea when the barometer plainly indicates they should not. It would be the same with the miners ; let there be a barometer hung at the mouth of the pit; let there be explanations and directions printed in large type close to it, the miners will soon understand it, we should soon have less lamp-trinaming, lamp-opening, and pipe -smoking in mines, Do not believe that I wish to recommend any special instrument." The death is announced of Sir John Dorney (larding, Q. 0., D.0,L., formerly her Majesty's Advocate. The Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, who are guardians of the spiritualities of the archbishopric during the vacancy, have appointed the Bishop of London to he President of the forthcoming Convocation.

The stewards of the late Warwick Meeting having soli cited Admiral Rous's opinion on the matter, the subjoined notice was posted at Tattersall's Subscription Room an Monday last : "The objection made by Mr. Hughes to the three lead ing horses in the Winding-up Free Handicap has been submitted by the stewards to Admiral Rous. " ' OBJECTION. " object to the first throe horses in the Winding-up Handicap on the ground of their carrying the wrong weight, and I claim the race for Seringapatam, as carry ing the proper weight. ' T. UUGIIES: " It appears that Mr. Hughes started two horses, Serin gapatam and Macduff ; they weighed out, aocording to the official card, 7st 31b and 6st 13 ; but Mr Hughes, being aware that, according to the 39th Rule, when there are less than twenty acceptances the weights must be raised to Bst 101 b, ordered the rider of Seringa,patam surrepti tiously to drop 21b, leaving Macduff to carry 6st 131 b, which arreed with the standard weight of Bst 12lb. "Tho 39th Rule, which raises the top weight to Bst 101 b when there are not twenty subscribers, does not prohibit the racing authoritieg from raising the weights to any standard they may think desirable. Tho penalty of dis qualification rests upon a mininzunt scale; if, for instance there had beeu.twenty acceptances, and the stewards had placed the top weight at Bst 101 b, the race would have been nullified. In 1866 Moulsey won the identical stakes, carrying Bst 121 b, with only 15 subscribers." Since the above notice was posted at Tattersall's we have received the following communication from Admiral Rous TO TUE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. Nov. '25, 1868. DEAR Sin,—The clerk at Tuttersali's, copying out my verdict, omitted the sentence which I add.—l atn, truly yours, IL L. Ro-rs. "I am of opinion, that by the 39th Rule the stewards were justified in raising the standard weight to Bst 121 b in the Winding-up Hanlicap, as there were above twenty subscribers althou:,rh only seventeen acceptances. As no horse owner objected to this scale, according to which every horse weighed out, these weights on the official card amounted to a public declaration. Bel Giorno is the legal winner. Soringapatam is not entitled to tho fourth place, having arried 21b under his weight. "H. I. noes. " 13, Berkeley-square, Nov. 23, 18G8."

CHATHAM CONVICT PRISON.--A batch of convicts will leave the convict establishment, St. Mary's, Chatham, in the course of the ensuing week, for Gibraltar,where they are to be employed on the defences and other public works now in progress at the station. The convicts will be con veyed to Gibraltar in the chartered ship Warwick, which will also receive on board parties of convicts from Ports mouth and Portland. Among the convicts to be de spatched from Chatham are several of those undergoing their punishment for being concerned in the Fenian move ments. The convict establishment at Chatham is to un dergo considerable enlargement, so as to accJnimodLto 1,650 convicts instead of 1,400, the number at present under confinement. The new buildings will be erected by the convicts themselves, under the superintendence of officials employed for the purpose. WRECK OF TREINANDA.—The bark Inaada, of and for Liverpool, from Lagos, Coast of Africa, with a cargo of palm oil and palm nuts, which was stranded on the Long-bank, Wexford, has since capsized off the bank, and been towed into the South Bay by a tug, assisted by the lifeboat St. Patrick. About twenty casks of oil have been already saved by fishing boats; and handed over to the authorities at Wex ford. Should the weather moderate a large portion of the cargo will be salved. The captain and the crew, consist ing of seven men, were rescued with very great difficulty by the Rosslau pilot-boat. The accident was due to the master supposing the Lucifer Ligh—ivhich is only re cently stattoned to ,mark that ehoal—to be the Tuskar. The crow are sickly, all having suffered from coast fever and shortness of provisions. Three men died on the voyage. DUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, ale the largest holders of Whisky in the world.
