' - - 1 j ...... f. e .se se s...e> / . ,__, ... 4 cated the Franco-Russian alliance, the impolicy was shown, in an admirable series of articles wlibilaielsie ( 1 ¶- ‘‘ ....I appeared within the last few days in Le Commerce. The object of the first of the series, was to prods that Russia had never desired, and did ndt now desire to form any intimate alliance with Franca; of the second, to show that, even admitting the good faith of the Emperor Nicholas, such an alliance would (compromise the very existence of the Government of July; and of the third, that the formation of a "Franco- Russian alliance would be the signal for the treakin o le out of an European war. As the two first propositi_nels concern solely the:French people themselves, we do net think it nec , 2ssary to reproduce the arguments by whiat they are supported, The third proposition, however, intimately concerns us, in common with every whet. European nation, and we therefore offer no apology for presenting our readers with the following translation of the principal portions of an admirable article which ate; peered in Le Commerce of Sunday last:— " It remains then for us, in order to complete our exe aniination of what would be the probable results of 'stn alliance between-the Cabinet of the Turneries and that of St. Petersburgh, to develope the third of our propels', Lions, which certainly is not the least important. *TM day after an alliance shall have been entered into be: tween France and Russia, there will b e an E nro pead war.' And d o not l et it be said, in making this ewers tion, we are exaggerating' the consequence of those nevi' international relations of which a Paris journal, well= known for the practical spirit in which it his treated a multidude of other questions, has made' ititele almost the official organ * * *. - wh enever great questions arise concerning the balancit of power in Europe, and the :mutual xelationif tion of states to each other, we should elosely study a that is passing among our neighbours ; we sh ou ld make; acquainted with their 'public opinion —with' ' their sentiments—with their political views—with their tears, and with their hopes ; we should be less absorbed' in personal considerations, and we should find it to bef, so. To take no account of Germany in considering the: effect of a Franco-Russian alliance, would be to expesel ourselves immediately to the results of a terrible 'reise calculation. We have read with attention all the cane troversies that the articles of the Press have raised ett the other side of .the Rhine, and the perusal of these has contributed materially to strengthen our conviction ' that such a system under existing circumstances could ' not fail to exeltfeen guropeatt war.. As it is im issibW to find roonefor numeretta s tertittets`froin all-the ' z. rpapers, we will only cite some fragments from two of the' • principal of these organs, the Gazette of Cologne andl the Gazette of Weser. We read in the first of these! journals, "If it is true that it is the intention of France' to form a Franco Russian alliance, we find in this fact au evident sign of the decadence of that nation, and a proof of madness on the part of the statesmen who govern it. It would he curious to see those, who fur fifteen years have sacrificed their prin ciples and natural friends to the preservation of general peace entering into an alliance of interests which, the moment that it was concluded, would become the signal for a war of extermination. In truth, what ever might be the basis of a Franco Russian alliance, such an alliance must necessarily bring on a war. We, leave to others the dream of Poland re-established by Russia —we, Germans, who kr.ow the price that must be paid for Russian friendship, laugh with contemptuous pity when wo hear of such chimeras. Besides, to re-establish Poland, the consent of Prussia and Austria is necessary, and this quadruple alliance is simply impossible, unless, indeed, Prussia and Austria, convinced by the argu ments of the Press, should become infected with a and-' dea love fir constitutional liberty, of which, however. ' we very much doubt. But that of which we are con vinced is, that Germany would lose nothing by a union - between Paris and St. Petersburgh, even should she be obliged to fight at the same .time against Russia anal , against France. The day on which this alliance, formed at our expense should be concluded, we should be obliged to have recourse to arms, and for this reason : Russia weighs heavy upon us ; her influence in our affairs is fatal to progress and to liberty, and we should desire nothing better than ' to ' see Russian barbarism advance to he struck down at Constantinople. But immediately England and Austria would oppose such advance, and the question of the East would be decided, as it ale aye has been, on the banks of the Rhine and of the Vistula. Germany, therefore, nought have to fight for her own nationality, for to become French would be to become Russian. There would no longer be any parties in Germany ; women and children would take arms against both ' France and Russia ; and we should again sing our patriotic chorus ' wherever German is spoken - there is our country.' " We have preserved in this fragment from the German journal, its impassioned form, its patriotic incoherence. It is a national cry, it is a war cry. In these burst of passion the heart is everything, and the style reflects its feverish agitation. Here is the passage from the Gazette of Weser, more calm, but to the full as significant :—" The restoration thought seriously of a Franco-Russian alliance ; many diplomatic dispatches which have been since published prove this fact. The restoration, by this alliance, had uo doubt, in view, as its ultimate object, the esta blishment of absolutism. It would, moreover, Ihave been a continental alliance against England. At present the appearance of Europe is changed. Not only has France a dynasty born of a revolution, but even Prussia tends towards a new order of things. Russia alone does not accept accomplished facts. She remains the symbol of autocratic unity, both in political - and in jk.lipiouis inkeresta_ We doubt whetber ..lins-, r .• could have establishes( herself at Lonstantinopie, tor how could the Ottomans be governed in accordance with the fixed idea of Nicholas, who wills that every Russian subject shall profess the Greek religion. Besides, England would never consent to such a displacement of the balance of power in Europe. Now what interest can France have in con tracting an alliance with Russia—would she siege the frontier of' the Rhine in the name of the Czar? She would risk .Alsace by the attempt, for Prussia would be revolutionized, and we know the maxim of Dayton ; ' It is only countries'in a state of revolution which can make conquests.' Does she propose to re-establish Poland? Admit that Russia would consent to it, what would Austria say? Admit even that it would be possi ble to do without Austria, what compensation could be given to Prussia?—Germany, perhaps. But Ger many must be willing to give herself to Prussia, and she would never consent to such a bargain except' on condition of gaining liberty and political guarantees. Russia would become, then, the protectress of the cause of liberty and progress. This is simply absurd, fit only ror the poetic readers of La Prase. The fact is that the :intent a,Franco-Russian alliance should be entered into, Austria, England, and the Porte, would be obliged, in self-defence, to coalesce against these two Powers. What Germany might do we cannot pre lict, but the fact that the French Government nas, for a single moment, contemplated such an dliance, proves that it no longer understands the moral sense of its mission, and that there is no longer anything to hope or to fear from France. As for Russia, ask the lowest peasant in Germany his opinion of her; go to Damstadt, to Berlin, to Stutgard, and you will learn what Germany thinks of Russia, and the reeeps don she would give the Cossacks. Inquire, also, why it is that the Emperor Nicholas always avoids the city of Berlin, notwithstanding his intimate alliance with Prus sia. To sum up all, a Franco-Russian alliance would be the destruction of France; but to speak frankly, we wish 'or such an alliance with all our heart, and every German who loves his country, will be of our opinion." These are the quotations. The most moderate of the two journals that which seems to found its opinion upon argument, terminates its reflections on the results of our alliance with Russia, by an imprecation against the French Government, which, as yet, has been guilty only of hav ing thought such an alliance possible. What then would he the cry of public opinion on the other side of the Rhine, if that cation, who has hitherto been considered as the Pharos of pt ogress and civilization, should defini tively unite its destinies to those of one empire, which 'walks in the darkness of barbarism and of des potism ; of one empire, the sole object of sNhose mission seems to be to extend that ;darkness over the rest of Europe. We have thus proved - that a European war would be the necessary consequence -of an alliance between France and Russia. Is there no either conclusion to be drawn from these articles of the , Gazette of Cologne and the Gazette of Weser? For six 'rears France has presented a miserable spectacle to Europe; liberal and constitutional principles have during that period been so eaten, so frittered away, so dena turalised by a deplorable Ministry, that we have lost the • greater part of that prestige which once secured to us ~:::the attachment of those whose nationality was depressed wind who were thirsting for emancipation. Secondary :states, as we see, have ceased to consider us :as their support—as their guide—as their hope ; :and except on the dangerous by force - cond o i f tion arm o s, o f 3 - un dertakings a propaganda expect to form those -cannot, for a lung time, national alliances which wrreex-p_os_soiblyle. fForranuoes now :herself after our revo lution tth o n f g ..l i in her own country herself stands in need o st f i e g s tu r tional government.. She has the nationalprinciples rte)focromns to accomplish, and the only fit ting ally for her is a constitutional nation. It is not by the fault of France herself that she is reduced to the necessity of having still some labours to undertake in the cause of public liberty and representative regime; after sixteen years of a Government founded solely en the triumph of that regime and of those liberties.

LORD RUSSELL and Co., it appears, have resolv'd To amend the dilemma in which we're luvolv'd, And the ports of the realm, which so long have been shut, Will, doubtless, be open'd without " if " or " but." You perhaps may suppose, from the way we commenee, We shall write in a strictly political sense ; But no, worthy reader, E. MOSES and SON In political matters would meddle with none. The ports being open'd to let in the grain Will be treated in rather a different strain. E. MOSES lull SON have their own open ports, For matchless habiliments—dress of all sorts. By MOSES and SON was the Ana effort made To open the ports in the tailoring trade. They expos'd the high prices which gevern'd the day, And threw down the harrier that lay in the way; And quickly Economy's hag was unfurl'd To all in the Widely-inhabited world. E. MOSES and SON have created a stir Throughout the vast realm by the good they colder ; And none can be found in the kingdom dispos'd For the ports of E. MOSES and SON to be clos'd. LIST OF PRICES.

AN ODORIFEROUS CRITICISM.—We find the fol lowing amusing specimen of criticism quoted in the adver tisements of a melange of prose and verse, from a fashionable contemporary :—" A fragrant nosegay of literary blossoms, in which showy poetry and sober prose, pleasant essays, and sprigs of sweet-smelliny rhyme, are bound tog ether."

Shortly before six o'clock on Monday evening, a large and highly respectable party of the electors, nearly 200 in num ber, dined together at the Council Chamber, Mr. R. Hetley in the chair. The dinner, which was provided by Mr. Ro gers of the Red Lion, and Mr. Figs of the Three Swans. was a very excellent one, and the sines were of the best quality. After the removal of the chth, " Non nails Doinine•' was finely sung by the musical gentlemen present, who, during the evening, sang several songs and glees in a very superior style, and were much applauded. The usual loyal and occasional :oasts followed, and were received with due honours. Tin health of the Mayor of Salisbury was drunk with three antes three. That of the Bishop and Clergy of the diocese also elicited loud cheering. Mr Pam, in proposing the heath of Mr. Campbell Wynd ham, their senior Member, remarked, that, although they would very soon be deprived of its services as a representa tive, he trusted that they should always have him as a neighbour and friend.—(dheers.) The Citatiewart then rose, aid remarked that they had now arrived at the toast of the evening,—the health of Mr. Chapliu—(Cheers.) He congratulated his brother elector, on the choice they had that da. made of a representative — (Cheers.) He had looked foiward with great pleasure to that day, and he firmly believed that Salisbury bad on that occasion done the best thing ale had done for a long time , since he wa s fully persuaded that Mr. Chaplin would always feel happy to prom its the best iiterests of the city.—(Cheers.) Mr. Chaplin's health was received with continued rounds of cheers, and when he rose :o return thanks, the applause was long-continued an d o f t h e most en thusiastic character. Silence having at l eng th h em o bt a i ne d, Mr. Chaplin re marked, that thei r excellent dminnan bad certainly given him a good character ; but hi could not have anticipated that his health would have leen received in such an en thusiastic manner. S o very hi n d a rece ption had left him without the power to express the intensity a his feelings.— (Cheers.) He was labouring under a weight of grati tude—gratitude for wh a t h e had just experienced at their hands, and gratitude for the treat kindness he had received from the people of Salisbury at large.—(Cheers.) He felt proud of the people of Salisbiry. He was proud of their independence —an independence which, he could not have anticipated, since he had heard much of the bribery and corruption, and of the powerful interest brought to bear upon the poorer votersi n borough towns. He honestly . believed, however, that on that occasion no such influence had been exercised.—(Cheers.) As he had said in the morn ing, he felt proud at the independence manifested by the people of Salisbury, all classes having joined together, irrespective of party, animated by the single desire of contributing to the general good.—(Cheers.) Voters who had never voted before had come forward on that occa sion; and persons who had never before attended an elee tion festival were that evening assembled with them in that room—thus acting together with a praiseworthy independence of party considerations.--(Cheers.) They had sent him as a free and independent man to Parlia ment. His time. had hitherto been occupied in private pur suits, so that he had not had occasion to seek the favour of any Government, nor was it very likely that he ever should. —(Laughter and cheers.) His desire was to merge politics in good feeling, and a hearty desire to co-operate for the wel fare of the town.—(Cheers.) 11. was aware of the responsi gwhastfon d va iv r i d ded co ; but tw course responsi bility he was incurring i n taki ng up a pos i tion between the he o sh p o a u r la ties pu in rs t u o e honest, Salis straightforward and he tr us t e d th a t h e s h ould experience ;no difficulty in securing among them a spirit of harmony and good will.—(Cheers.) After a few further remarks, Mr. Chaplin proceeded to say, that he hoped the example of Salisbury would be a beacon for the guidance of all the provincial towns in the kingdom.—((;heers.) The electors of Salisbury had not required from him a pledge; but he voluntarily pledged himself, determinatelv and sin cerely, to exert himself on all occasions in the best 'pos sible manner to promote the prosperity of the town.— (Cheers.) In conclusion, Mr. Chaplin roposed as a toast, " Prosperity to the city of Salisbury," with three times three." _ _ The next toast was 1" The Members for the County." Then followed " The Magistrates for the city," the Chair man remarking that all things had been conducted so quietly of late, that they had not had much to do: still they were to be thanked for keeping them in such good order. Mr. T. O. STEVENS returned thanks. He congratulated the meeting on the gratifying manner in which the pro ceedings of that day had passed off, and on the good feeling which had been manifested by all classes in the city—so that the interference of the magistrates had been rendered wholly unnecessary.—(Cheers.) - Mr. ANDREWS then gave the healths of the gentlemen who had proposed and seconded the nomination of Mr. Chaplin, with many thanks to them for the able manner in which they had performed that duty.—(Cheers.) The CHAWIMAN (Mr. lletley) returned thanks for the very kind manner in which they had received the toast. He assured the company that it was far from his wish to have taken so prominent a part in the pro ceedings of the day. Another gentleman would have pro posed Mr. Chaplin, had he not been prevented by a bad cold. Having put his shoulder to the wheel, however, he (Mr. llet ley) was determined not to stop at any point, but to go through with any duty he might be required to undertake —(Cheers). He again returned thanks for the kindness with which the toast had been received. Mr. FAwcwre returned thanks in an able address, in which he said that he had never in the whole ceurse of his life felt more just reason to be proud than of the part he had taken that day in seconding the nomination of Mr. Chaplin as their representative. lie felt proud also that he had been in some measure instrumental in introducing Mr. Chaplin to their notice, since he knew that that gen tleman must prove most acceptable to the city.—(Cheers.) Free trade was now settled, and all parties concurred in the opinion that it ought to have a full and fair trial.—(Cheers.) Mr. Fawcett then pointed out the advan tages to be derived by Salisbu r y from rail way extension , as "flo:lad in leadg ernp people of a r e ady transit to' altparts of the United.Kiu,s,,,, w and v ivin g th e means to visit them, and purchase th e co mmodities for which Wiltshire w as c elebrated—corn pe from ro n in ad t ist e an p an d c attle—they receiving in turn fuel and other commodi ties of which they stood in need for domestic use. He was loyl-mt to the convinced, that great benefit would thus be experienced by free commercial intercourse, not inertly by his fellow citizens,_ er but by the country at large.—(Cheers.) After some further remarks, Mr. Fawcett concluded by the expression of an earnest wish that all present might long live to see Mr.m their representative, and that Mr. Chapl in might for Chaplin their cea years occupy the position in which they had that day P him.—(Cheers.) - The health of Mr. George Pain was then p Vandenhoff, and heartily responded to. roposed by Mr. In returning thanks, Mr. Pain acknow led g e dt the very b v e e e ry n kind and enthusiasted manner in which th e toes received. He had felt it to be his duty of the city.

The health of the Vice-P res id en t s followed —an honour for which Mr. W. Blackmore returned thanks. Mr. T. 0.

Mr. Campbell then said, that, as his chairman and their representative was e mparatively a stranger to them, while he was, in conse quence of his close official relation witly Mr. Campbell, int% mately known to hire, he hoped to be allowed briefly to de :ail what he conceived the leading characteristics of Mr. Chaplin to be.

All our railways, it is true, absorb a large amount of our individual means, but they do not send our money to supply foreigners; and it is doubted whether, had it not been for our railways, siai culations abroad would not have deprived us of tle , t deposit we can now :Tare. All money matters in the aggregate, between nation and nation, are, er rather should be, a subject of deep interest and coils:- deration. There are unfortunately few who understand its vital importance; but one thing is certain, that an incredible amount is lost annually by us as a natior, brought about by our exchange with foreigners, and c. a sequent on a fallacious arrangement of tfe standard f value and circulating medium of this country, and the sooner the evil is rooted up the better for our prosperity. EXPERIMENTS ON THE PARIS AND ST. GERMAIN ATMOSPIIERIC.—A few days ago experiments were made on this line between the stations at the wood of Vesinet, and the park of the Chateau, in the presence of several members of the Legislature, engineers, and others inte rested in the atmospheric system. A train, containing the visitors, left the Paris station, Rue St. Lazare, at n quarter past eleven o'clock, and arrived at the Vesirir t at 40 minutes past. The signal to set in motion the sta tionary engine at St. Germain, was sent by the electric telegraph laid down under the direction of M. B.,6;iiet. A vacuum of 32 centhre,res was then effected in two minutes, 30 seconds; and a train composed of five carri ages, besides that containing the piston, started eff at full speed. The ascent to St. Germain was accomplished in four minutes, the average speed being therefore 33 kilo metres per hour. The vacuum increased during tha• time from 32 centimetres to 43 centimetres. Five other trains succesively ran at intervals of three-quarters of ae hour, the number of carriages bciug increased every time until it reached eleven, exclusive of the piston carriage. Every time the results grew more and more favourable. The last train, the heaviest of all, and the weight of which was 54 tons, performed the ascent in no more than four minutes, under the influence of a vacuum varying froM 32 to 65 centimetres. The vacuum of 32 centi metres was always obtained in two minutes and a half, with but one machine. The four pneumatic cylinder: - were worked-for only two minutes, and that solely when; the train began to ascend the gradients of 32 and 35 mil litnetres, which 'terminate the line. Trails of nine or ten carriages ascended in three minutes and a half, under the influence of a vacuum, varying between 35 and 50, and even 65 centimetres. This last degree has never been surpassed in England. The next experiments will take place before the commission appointed by the Minister of Public - Works, to present a report on the at• mospheric system. After the loud cheering had ceased, Mr. CAMPBELL proposed, as a toast, " Mr. Alderman Pain, and the Town Council of Salisbury." Mr. PAtic returaed thanks. The next toast was" Mr. Chaplin's agents." Mr. R. H. HODDING returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proposed, as a toast, " Mrs. Chaplin and the Ladies." Mr. CILAPLIN, in returning thanks, said, that Mrs. Chaplin would always feel happy to join the ladies of Salisbury, and assist thong in their kind efforts in behalf of the poor and deserving of their own sex in Salisbury and its neighbour hood.—(Cheers.) The toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers " followed, after which the meeting broke up. LETTER OF ABD-EL-KADER TO THE GENERAL IN COMMAND AT OR AN. The following letter, of the auPuinticity of which we have no means of judging, from Abd-el-Kader to a French General, whose natal is not given, but who is probably the General in conitrand at Oran, who exerted himself for the release of the prisoners, is published by the Semainc : " From the Emir of the Mussulmans, El Sid el Had ii Abd-el-Kader--whom may God protect—to General : May God bestow his generosity on all who hold the faith, and m a y th e sa f e ty an d the mercy of God be upon every true believer, upon all who du not wander from the right way to salvation. We shall ac quaint you, as between friends and neighbours, that when your prisoners, who were in our hands, the Colonel and his companions, had lost all hope from the Marshal, from General Lamoriciere, and the others, they applied to us for permission to write to you, and they did write to you, after we had several times given them leave to do so ; but the answers were not favourable. 'When the prisoners demanded an audience of us we granted it to them, and they put to us the following question : Why have you slain our companions ? We answered them :—lt was your brethren who command at Algiers and over its dependencies who slew them. We also said :—At the time we set at liberty more than 100 prisonera, who were at Tagdempt, we sent them to Bugeaud, but he did not apprsoiate that service. Yet i , is just that Sovereigns should recompense such services. We have kept silence—we have not spoken one word on the subject of a single prisoner taken from us. After that you and your companions fell into our hands. We have treated you with care and respect, and even better than we have treated our own troops. Bugeaud has committed a thing so violent that no true soldier would have committed it. We sent him one of cur chosen chiefs to confer with him on an exchange of prisoners. This man was thrown into prison, where he has remained. Where upon we exclaimed with astonishment—in all countries, in all times, an envoy charged with letters has had nothing to fear. How, then, does it come to pass that Bugeaud, who is a marshal, should do a thing not allowed to any man ? How can it have entered into the mind of the French, who are men of reason and capa city, strong and warlike, that the Sultan ;of Fez could take from us by force prisoners, and above all when acquainted with things in general, and not ignorant of our affairs or those of others ? This it is that has se much displeased us, and become the cause of our Navin; given orders to slay your companions. When the pri soners had heard our words they all replied Yes! yes yes! Some days after this conversation, the prisoners became reconciled, and having had proofs of our bounty, or generosity, or good treatment towards them, "1-. Z-4 . - --. wi. cv Kalifahs to endeavour to obtain from us their delivery. We yielded to the prayers offered up to us in their favour, and consented to set them at liberty, con forming to what is written in the Fets of the book of our Prophet, which says, ' Begin by taking prisoners, but afterwards set them at liberty, either by means of exchange or for nothing.' On being asked by what road they wished to depart, they replied by that of Melilla. We consented to this, and sent for the chiefs who commando& in the environs of Melilla. They came to us ; we gave them the charge, and they undertook it. We have re capitulated all that first took place, in order that you may be fully informed, and in case there shall be any question raised in the Chamber or elsewhere you may say that which is just and right on our account No one can blame you, no one can reproach you if you come to be an intermediary between us and France, your nation. You will have the merit, so far as it concerns yourself and your country, in obtaining from your Sultan a greater and more eminent favour than this, for he is greater than we are in age and so vere i gnty, an d hi s ex perience is above ours. On your part no evil has hap pened between us as has happened between us and file Marshal, through ill-intentioned persons of our country, who have sown dis cor d among us an d hi m b y means of falsehoods and lies, to which he listened to the extent of taking no account of the good we have done for him. If we had done towards you the good we have done to wards him, you would have been generous towards us, you would have consideration for us ; for we wish only the well-being of the whole earth in what regards secur ity and freedom of passage along roads between neigh bouring places. When at one time peace took place with the consent of the King, it was not we who were the first to break it. We looked forward to nothing but an interchange of many presents and kindly relations between us. But the chiefs at Algiers destroyed this peace after listening to ill-intentioned persons, and froar their prepossession for the Maugrabins who came, some in numbers, some singly, to divert themselves with the prisoners who were in our camp. For ourselves, we believe, from what we have heard, that you are i equit able, and do not listen to intriguers. Do all n your power to bring about a good understanding between us, in order that in the end amicable relations may be esta blished between you and us. We have sent one of our Aghas to you, with the colonel, that he may see our prisoners who are in your country, that he may learn how many they be, how many are dead, and remit to us the number. (God is our protector.) I pray you t o re ceive this man and recommend him to your people. Do not fail to write to us on the subject of this affair, and others, to the end that our relations may become com plete as well for the present as for the future." THE POTATO ROT. The potato disease has re-appeared. We have this moment received the following communication from M. Elphinstone, gardener to the Right lion, the Speaker,, at lieckfield; and we entreat all who wish well to their country to consider it well. It requires no comment. The plants are diseased exactly as in January, IS46: "I herewith forward you for your inspection some cf our walnut leaf kidney potatoes, grown in pots, every one of which within the last three weeks has been at tacked with the disease. The above potatoes were planted singly in 16-sized pots on the 24th November last. Every tuber came up well, and was going on as well as could ba , wishei. The number of pots was 80. One part of the pots was placed in a vinery that I commenced forcing at the time, and certainly never from the above day has the temperature been under 50 deg. Th‘r other portion of the pots was placed in a new pit heated. by hot water, and the temperature has ranged from 55 deg. to 60 deg. The potatoes at taking-up time were-, of the very best quality, and were laid out to green—a practice which I have followed for upwards of twelve years without a single failure. When taken into the • seed room, they were laid on a boarded floor until the time of planting.

SOUTHAMPTON AND DORCHESTER.—Mr. Peto confi dently expects to be able to complete this line by the Ist of May next, and be is to receive a handsome premium in the event of his doing so. The line between Gravesend and Rochester is to be re-opened in the course of the ensuing month. A junc tion has been formed near the Gravesend terminus to connect the London and Gravesend branch of the South- Eastern, in the course of formation. SOUTH `VALES.—The works are rapidly progressing. The portion from Kidwelly to Whiland will soon receive the permanent way. The company have offered the contractor a large premium if he completes the works earlier than the time specified in his contract. The Kelso branch of the Newcastle and Berwick is to be proceeded with immediately, from Tweedmouth to Sprouston, twenty miles. NOTTINGHAM AND LINCOLN.-- The branch from Newark to Mansfield is staked out, and the works will be commenced forthwith. The surveyors are busy staking out a branch from Nottingham through Basford to Mansfield, and Pinxton near Suttoh-inbAshfield, which will shortly be ready for the contractors. Yonx AND NEWCASTLE.—The new line, in connexion with Sunderl an d, fr2iin Pensher, i s staked out from the main line to the. 'Winfield cottages, at the north-west end of Bishopweiribouth i and is in length about miles. It runs parallel with the river Wear tjll opposite Deptford, when it takes a southerly direction by Dia mond Hall.to Millfield, and thence in a curve past Sun derland Infirmary, across the Stockton-road en the north side of Building.hill, by Hendon-terrace, to the pro jected docks. At Claxheugh rock there will be a cutting through limestone forty feet deep for some distance, and the whole of the way from near Diamond hall to the shipping terminus will pass over ground at present occu pied by dwellings and garden ground for the space of nearly a mile and a h a lf. Thi s branch fro Pensher to Sunderland docks will be let in eight contacts, it is said, in order that it may speedily be done, so as to get by railway from Pensher quarries the freestoneaprequired for the construction of the new docks at Sunderland. The new station will be near the Burdon-road, in a line with Fawcett-street. A new station is also to be erected forthwith near the bridge at Monkwearmouth, in con nexion with the branch from that part of the town to Shields and Newcastle. All these important improve ments will be completed in the course of the ensuink . summer. Nonrotx..—At the approaching special meeting, the proprietors will have to consider propositiong-1. For authorising the directors to convert the present loans on mortgage into capital, by the creation of new shares. And 2. For authorising the directors, under the powers of the Act 8 Vic., cap. 16, to consolidate the 101. shares into the general capital stock of the Company. ROYSTON AND EITCHIN.—This Company, of which Lord llacre is Chairman, propose to extend their line, and, on satisfactory terms being made, lease it to the Great Northern. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.—Captain Coddington has recently inspected the branch from Brighton and Chichester, and also that from Brighton to Hastings, both of which have been undergoing im provements, and also having a double line of rails laid down. The Inspector. General expressed himself per fectly satisfied with the works, and the lines will be opened in a day or two. LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN.—The section be tween Londonderry and Strabane is to be opened in the middle of Februare. Tbe Comnany are tok take rlokjig to ana from I.onaonaerry, the time allowed Deing haft an hour. SOUTH-EASTERN (WHITIOTABLNI HARBOUR).—For several months engineers have been employed improving the harbour at Whitstable, in order to render it a prin cipal coal depot. A substantial breakwater has been erected, which has been singularly successful in its ac tion, having deepened the entrance and the harbour from four to seven feet, enabling colliers of any tonnage to unload. The work has been designed by Mr. Barlow, , the acting engineer of the Eastern Counties. SURVEY OF THE HALIFAX AND QUEBEC.--The various parties engaged on this important survey, now in charge , of Lieutenant Henderson, R.E., have assembled at Fre dericton, where a building has been hired and fitted up as offices. Messrs. Wightman and John Grant, and the surveying sappers, are now engaged in calculating the barometrical and other observations, and compiling plans of the various routes explored. One line for the pro posed railway has been explored as far north as the north-west branch of the Restigouche, and another line, formerly examined for a military road, has been ex plored from the Bend to the Waagan portage, between Grand River and the Lead waters of the Restigouche. The country north of the Restigouche, and thence to the St. Lawrence, has not yet been examined, but it is proposed to commence that service early in March next. The exploring parties have met with a tract of very broken and hilly country stretching directly across New Brunswick, from the Tobique to the Bay Chaleur, which will require further examination before the central line for the railway can bs determined upon. It is hoped that the central line will be settled next summer, and then the exact survey for the railway will be commenced, the duties at present being confined to seeking the short est and most practical route. The whole of the la mented Captain Pipon papers, which were left by him at Madawaska, have been brought to Fredericton, and are now deposited in the fire-proof safe at the railway office. The surveying sappers have great experience, and are men admirably qualified for the service on which they are engaged. Not a moment is lost in the propess of the work, which isycested on as fast eta the mature of the duty will admit. Nothing has yet been done with refer. ence to the disputed boundary between this province and Canada, owing to the sudden death of Captain Pipon; but the railway survey has not thereby been delayed. THE BREAK OF GITAGE AT GLOUCESVEL—Some months since the country was in a ferment on the ques tion of the break of guage, and the station at Gloucester gained an unenviable notoriety as the most inconvenient terminus in Great Britain. Our Gloucester correspondent i informs us that one source of general complaint has been remedied, shewing some slight symptoms of concession. Until lately the Great Western and the Birmingham and Bristol stations were separated by partitions, whereby, on the arrival of the several trains, some confusion was created by transferring luggage from one station to an. other through the narrow apertures in the walls, the in • convenience of break of guage was thereby greatly ag gravated. These partitions have been reataitly taken down, and the terminus now presents a commodious appearance, besides being less obstructive to the efforts of those who were desirous of mitigating the inconveni ence of a break. ENLARGEMENT OF THE EASTERN COUNTIMB GOODS DEPOT.—The goods depot of the Eastern Counties, at Bethnal-green, is now being enlarged to about three times its original extent. A number of miserable thoroughfares, crowded with wretched dwellings, have been d esuolished to make way for the warehouses which aro now being erected on their site. Of late the goods traffic has in creased enormously; the weekly receipts amounting to nearly 4,0001. SUNDAY TRAINS ON THE EASTERN UNION.P--•-At the half-yearly meeting of the Ipswich and Bury St. Ed mund's (which is to be amalgamated with the Eastern Union), to be held on Friday, an effort, we uncle rstand, is to be made to outvote the directors in suppressing the running of trains on a Sunday. A memorial, big ned by nearly 300 inhabitants of Ipswich, is about being pre sented to the chairman and directors, praying ttiat the Sunday trains on the Colchester and Ipswich and Ips wich and Bury St. Edmund lines should be abol ished. At the last half-yearly meeting a similar attempt was made, but failed. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.—A. TeqUisi tion has been sent to the directors of the Birmingham and Oxford, for a special general meeting, for the olee • tion of new directors, and fur the re-consderati on of the proposals of the Great Western for 49. purchase.. NEWMARKET AN]) CHESTERFORD.—The call of 51. on the shares of this company is to continue, and not to commence the works. So much has been said, and so many evils have been predicted, on all matters connected with railways and their formation, that some people (observes a corre spondent) may perhaps wonder how a single share re mains to be quoted, but experientia docet, and p eople will for the future be only led by truth. If a few ir illions of our bullion are destined to be drawn from the Bank coffers for various requisites, we are most fortunate in having it in deposit to meet the demand. It may now be a fair question to put a spoke in the wheel c in the side of railways; not only do they hold out labo ur to the poor, bat does it not happen most fortunately at the present moment, that such an amount of capit d should ; 1 h • ..•••• • olut JA-
