THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The United States Oongreas have passed the
Pacific Railroad Bill. The government is to be represented
in the railroad company by aye oommisaioners ; public lands
are granted and the public credit loaned to the enterprise,
the latter taking the shape of 6 per cent. bonds, of 1,000
dollars each, running 30 years. The route chosen is knows
►o the " middle" route—namely, from Western Kaceas to
Western Nevada, and the government eng.iges to concede to
the railroads now in course of construction through Kansas
and California such aid as may be necessary to their comple-
tion. And an a return for such subsidies and grants the
usual preference in to be given to the government in the
trios:oink:a of troops and material, and in the use of the
telegraph, which the company is also required to construct,
collateral with its road. Two years are given for the lac►-
tion of the track, and until 40 miles are actually laid the
government bounty does not become operative.

Tee Teeing Etimaitionarr.—Yesterday in Hon. Mr.
Cowper's committee, Mr. Tits, M.P., president of the
Royal Institution of British Architects, wax examined, and
spoke in favour of a solid embankment between Westmin-
ster-bridge and Blackfrian. In his opinion it should be
done at once, commencing first with the great low level
sewer along and underneath it, then the embankment itself,
then the superimposed roadway, leavi the lateral
communications and approaches and colLlenl points
connected with it for future consideration. While
in favour of architectural embellishment on some
portions of the route of the embankment, he
was strongly opposed to continuing it in front of the Houses
of Parliament, as it would spoil the architectural appear-
ance of the structure. As regarded the City Gas Company,
he thought they were entitled to the whole of the waterway
and foreshore in front of their works, and of the wharves
between their works and the eastern side of the Temple, and
he would suggest that their engineers should confer with
Mr. )(Timm the engineer to the promoters of the bill,
and Mr. Baudgette. relative to the accommodation they
required, without interfering with the construction of the
embankment at a low level. Mr. Page, C.R., sad Mr.
Burn, architect to the Duke of Buccleuch, having been
examined, the Hon. Mr. Liddell informed the committee
that this closed the op Won for the Duke and the mown
ones, and the pooeedlnp were ediossaad to this day.

Another despatch addressed to the same journal,
from Falmouth, in the department of the
Rappahannock, says the Confederate lines are
maintained as formerly, and it seems to be
definitely established that they are throwing up
earthworks ; but these are supposed to be merely to
protect pickets, as it is not anticipated that they
intend to preserve an isolated line in that vicinity.
The Confederate and Federal outposts are only
100 rods distant from each other.

Mr. Ed* anl Stanley, of San Francisco, his
been appointed military governor of North
Carolina.

A deepatoh from Pittsburg Lauding, dated the
14th instant, announoes that General Halle&
would on that day move his camp four miles to
the front.

The Federal forces are at an average distance of
two and a half to three miles from the Confederate
entrenchments at Corinth.

The Federal army advances slowly, because of
the nature of the ground necessitating the building
of corduroy roads and bridges.
It is generally understood that an engagement at
Corinth will come off this week. •

General Mitchell is reported to have formed a
junction with General Pope.

Mitchell's division now forms the extreme left of
the Federal lines.

Beauregarcl is fortifying Grand Junction, evi-
dently with the intention of falling back there if
beaten at Corinth.

The number of troops under Beauregard is esti-
mated at General Haneck's headquarters at from
120,000 to 170,000 men.
In the Federal Congress Senator Trumbull has
offered a resolution that the President should, if it
were consistent with public interests, communicate
to the Senate any information he may have of any
design on the part of any foreign power to inter-
vene in the contest now existing ; and should also
state whether any foreign nation bad made any
arrangements with the insurgents or had it in con-
templation to do so.
The New Orleans Delta, of May 1, contains a
copy of the protest of Commander Clouet, of the
French steamer Milan, opposite New Orleans, ad-
dressed to the commander of the Federal Fleet.

- -
fu this protest Commander Clouet states that he
is at Now Orleans to protect 30,000 French inha-
bitants, and regrets to learn that only 48 hours had
been accorded for the evacuation of the city by the
women and children, and continues, " Thisshort
delay is ridiculous. If you are resolved to bom-
bard the city, you will have to account for this
barbarous act to the French government. In any
event, I demand sixty days for the evacuation."
A copy of the vote of thanks of the House of
Representatives has been forwarded by special
messenger to General McClellan.
The House of Representatives has passed the
Army Bill, appropriating 421,000,000 dole. for the
year ending June, 1863. In addition to this, 208
millions have been voted during the present
session for current army expenses and deficiencies
for the present year. _

The New York World says that Secretary Staun-
ton has issued an order that newspaper correspon-
dents will not be permitted to telegraph any ac-
count of the approaching battle as Corinth after it
has taken place, until the report is first revised by
the military censor at Cairo.
The New York Tribune has a special Washington
despatch stating that the French Minister had re-
ceived intelligence from the French Consul at Rich-
mond, that the Confederate government had noti-
fied to him that if it was found necessary to eva-
cuate Richmond the French tobacco must be
destroyed with the rest, the Confederates offering
at the same time to pay for it.
The Federal General Hunter, commanding the
military department of Georgia, Florida, and
South Carolina, has issued a proclamation declar-
ing martial law in those States, and as martial law
and slavery are incompatible, all slaves in Georgia,
Florida, and South Carolina are declared for ever
free.

The steamship Champion, from Aspinwall, ar-
rived at New York with 484,000 dole. in specie.
The question of the admission of Edwin James to
the New York bar is being canvassed, both sides

Sergeant Bailey was directed to accompany applicant to

upon the occupant. A small crowd accompanied them,
and in due time the chair was found when Collyer had left

Commarczwiorr or Tammy Tsar.—The law
and equity courts resumed business to-day, on the com-
mencement of Trinity term. Among the rules to be argued
in the Court of Commies Pleas is the case of " Kennedy v.
Brows and wife," on a motion to set ride the verdict of
20,0004 found for Mr. Kennedy, the barrister. There is a
good deal of busies= for the term. In the three common
law courts there are as many as 239 Mae end other

then is so lack of business. In the Queen's Bench then
are 69 rules for new trials, and in the special pew $ rules
and 10delayed rules. In the Common Pleat there ere 2S
rules for new trial and 24 demurrers entered. Is the Court
of Exchequer there are 11 errors and appeals, 2S roles in
the epeeist paper, and four in the peremptory mew, whilst
of new trials there are 23. is the three courts the unusual
number of 130 rules appear for new trials. The Divorce
Court will sit on Wednesday, and there is unfortunately
plenty of business to occupy ins &Politico. The Lord Chan-

and therefore the courts will sit at 10 o'clock. nod the term

his retainers to raise dykes and make drains, till
ho provoked the jealousy of nethbourr, who
alleged that he flooded their lands to dry his own.
Then there were feuds and fights, and attempts to
destroy the dykes, till some great winter kolas
rolled over the country and swamped the occasions
of strife, reducing all parties to the same helpless-
ness against the encroaching sea. Then the
mariners and merchants of Lynn rejoiced, because
their harbour was deep, and fresh traffic came to
their port.
As the state of English society changed, and
wealthy citizens began to see the bearings and
benefits of public works, they asked why the sea
should be allowed to play fast and loose with
land which had once afforded game to the sports-
man, and shelter and habitation to the Britons
when the Romans were everywhere else. One
scheme of embankment aJer another was ap-
proved by kings, and praised by nobles, and
blessed by bishops, and exulted in by adventurous
capitalists ; but one day King HErrav VI. heard,
amidst other misfortunes, that the sea had washed
away all the works. King HENRY VII. heard the
same bad news, and sorely the news must have
vexed his rapacious souL Queen Euzass-rw's
servants had to tell her that the Waah had made
a clean sweep of a mass of wealth invested in
the soil, or growing out of it ; and JAStES I. re-
ceived the same bad tidings. Then many citizens
said that their fathers had been right when they
shook their heads over new speculations. Time
after time it had been said that the disaster could
never happen again, so well planned were the
drains and so firm the dykes ; yet the disaster
always had happened again, and it no doubt
always would. When men tried to raise Jie fruits
of the earth from the domain of the sea, they d -
served to be disappointed. It was impious not to
accept the rebuke. There are always men, however,
who will be sure that disasters are rebukes be-
fore they will fold their hands and submit Some
such men thought the rebuke applied to making
dykes cf loose soil, and stopping or turning
streams, instead of helping them to flow away ;
and in the reign of CHARLES I. there was an Earl
of BEDFORD who was of this turn of mind ; and
he and some comrades began the great scheme of
drainage, by which his name became connected
with a vast district of reclaimed land. There was
loose earth in the embankments still ; and there
was, moreover, a screw loose in society at that
time, by which ravage was let loose on the new
territory. During the wars in which a certain
Huntingdon brewer made himself famous, it
was a device against the Royalists to cut the
dykes, and spoil what the sea had left of the
great Bedford property. But the son of the en-
terprising earl set to work again, fifteen years after
his father's first attempt ; and he persevered till
a regular system of preservation was organized,
and a corporation invested with the care of the
whole project. The different stages of improve-
ment since CHARLES IL's time have been marked
by Acta of Parliament, by which one practicable
navigation after another has been secured, and the
wide waste has been made the seat of towns, vil-
'Agee, and homesteads, of production and traffic,

According to the present arrangements, her

PARIS. MONDAY Emmert
The note in the Monifeur which accompanies
General de Goyon's nomination to the Senate very
ingeniously baffles all attempts to draw any satis-
factory inference from his elevation in regard to
the Roman question. That the general's command
at Rome is over stands indeed confessed, but thou
the reason given for his being "called to resume ser-
vice near his Majesty's person " is that the reduc-
tions effected in the army generally necessitate a
re-organisation of the corps of occupation of Rome.
Not a word here of proximate evacuation, or of
any change of policy. The Pays repeats, with
more emphasis than before, that the Marquis de
Lavalette will not return to Rome, and that the
embassy will be confided to a marshal of France.
It would, however, be very inconsistent with the
implied assertion of the Muniteur that the army of
Rome is to be reduced, if it were to be placed
under the command of a marshal instead of a
general of division, and it must be remembered
that the Pays' former statement was that Marshal
Niel would unite the functions of ambassador and
commander-in-chief.

One of the French writers now in London is
pleased to write home to his fellow Parisians that two fea-
tures of English society are their extensive patronage of
favourite preachers of religion and morality, and patent
medicines ! "The rich of London, especially the ladies,"
be says, "are gnat patrons of particular priests of the
church of England, who generally write poetry and possess
a pleasing address and engaging voice. Whether the na-
tional churches are not large enough to receive all the
Christian congregations of the higher classes I know not ;
bat certain it is, the reformed church of England has many
private establishments for a select public worship, where
the officiating priest is paid well, invited to dine with the
nobility, loaded with presents, and made what in England
in =lied ' a pet.' He is a religions luxury, in fact, for the
rieh only, and preaches, I am told, a polite and fashionable
divinity. I have visited one of these places for prayer and
devotion, but it had not much the appearance of a church
outside, and I could only understand a very little of what
the preacher said, se this class of clergy, like artistes of the
stage, put on as artificial voice."

M. Thieve has returned at the Tuileries a visit
paid him by the Viceroy of Egypt.
A letter from the French provinces gives a gin-
gular amount of the kind of sermons which are being
preached by members of the religious orders during the pre-
sent month. " The preachers relate," it says, " the ►dven-
tures of the Virgin and of the ►postles with as much detail
as Alexander Dumas describes his visit to the Cam:mute
For example, they tell in what intim►cy the Virgin and the
apostles lived at Jeronimo for six months after the death
of Christ, and how Mary decided that it was time for them
to separate. Having taken the hearers on a promenade
into all the places sanctified by the memory of the passion
at Jerusalem, they make them witness the adieus and the
shedding of teen, and repeat the very words of each at the
moment of separation. Nothing is omitted ; the romance
is complete."
" •'

In spite of all the studied ambiguity attending
the act, I think the better opinion is that the terms
used in shelving General do Goyon in the Senate ,
are merely devised for the sake of letting him down
easy. The question agitated a few days ago
whether he was "recalled," or only "called" from
Rome, is at any rate settled. The prevalent feeling
is that an important step has now been taken
towards the evacuation of Rome.
The Bourse has presented no striking feature.
Uneasiness on Mexican affairs still continues, and
is indeed augmented by the reproduction in the
Moniteur of a violent article of the Patric against
Spain and General Prim. The Rente, after a
slight rise, became very flat, and closed at 70fr.
30c. for cash, and 70fr. 20c. for account, with a
rise in the first case of I.oc. and a fall of 10c. in
the latter. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c. The Italian
Loan rose 30c. In railways there was scarcely any
change, and but little business was done. Cease
Mires rose sfr., closing at 118 fr. 75c.
M. Viennet, the Grand Master of the Free-
masons of the Scotch rite, openly refuses to

himself.
It having been made matter of complaint that
the steeplechase prizes given by the government
are generally carried off by English horses trained
to the sport and mounted by English jockeys, a
change has been made in the regulations, with the
view, as it is said, of making steeplechases more
useful as an encouragement for improving the
breed of French horses. After Jan. 1, 1863, stal-
lions only will be eligible to run in official steeple-
chases open to horses of all ages and countries.
But the Hares committee means especially to patron-
ise steeplechases for half-bred French geldings and
' mares not less than four nor more than seven years
of age. The idea which governs the change

At New York ou the evening of the 12th an im-
mense crowd congregated in the space opposite the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, to hear the serenade given by the band of
the 7th New York Regiment to Mrs. M'Clellan, the wife of
the general. The appearance of the lady on the balcony
was the signal for a burst of applause that rang through the
whole city, and that thundered louder and louder still when
some one waved from a window the "star-spangled banner"
and a voice from the crowd called out, "Three cheers for
that flag !" Nine tremendous cheers were instantly given.
Not the least significant part of the evening's display was
to call for the famous Abolition tune,—

" John Brown's body lies mouldering in the
jgrave,
" But his soul is marching on. Hallelujah !
The band responded to the call, and elicited new hunts of
applause that teemed to drive the people wild with excite-
matt.

The 12th was an exciting day in New York.
The churches in the afternoon were almost wholly left to
the women and children, while the men swarmed into the
hotel lobbies or gathered at the corners of the streets to
read and discuss the telegrams in the extra editions of the
newspapers. The newsboys kept up a continuous and dis-
cordant about of " Glorious news !" and drove a prosperous
trade from morning till night. The uproar which they
created in the proclamation of their wares, especially when
they announced the "Destruction of the Merrimac!"
interrupted the services in many of the churches ; sad
scores of men (the ladies could not well move for shame's
sake) slunk from their pews as quietly as they might, and
many a sermon cum in consequence to a more sudden close
than was originally designed for it.
