A ROMAN RAILWAY.

A letter from Rome of the 18th says :—" A great
danger threatens the pontifical government. The railway
which is to unite Rome to Naples is now entirely completed.
The section from Rome to the pontifical frontier will be
opened in a few days. Although this part has been finished
since the end of last year, it has required no leas than six
months to induce the government to put the line in opera-
tion. The municipality of Velletri, at once surprised and
happy, has just struck a medal to preserve the memory of
this bounty of the Sovereign Pontiff. However, the pooh•
fical government, not wishing to have any contact with
'the tenders,' requires that the pontifical employes of
the railway from Rome to Naples shall not in any case pass
the frontier. Even the rolliug stock into be speciaL After
having arrived at Ceprano travellers will have to change
trains. There is no junction of the rails on the frontier,
and it will, therefore, be neoemary to make a bit of the
journey on foot in order to reach the other train."

A Simla correspondent of the °rah Gazette,
writing on the Ifith nit., says :—" A very melancholy acci-
dent occurred to a lady here the other day. It appears she
was riding in the direction of Nahum, when all of a sudden
her horse started at a man with a load louden against the
side of the bill. The horse backed, and a bearer who was
with the lady attempted to draw the animal to him. In this
attempt the poor man failed, the horse still retreated, and
all three were precipitated down • precipice. All were of
course killed, and it took three hours to recover the bodies,
which were dreadfully mangled and diefigured. The native
was buried on the spot, and the lady was to have been
buried this morning. It was raining very hard, and per-
haps in consequence the funeral has been postponed. The
lady was the wife of Colonel Briod."
A literary loan attempted to be raised by K
de Lamartine not having succeeded, he now proposes to
start • lottery, for which lie luta obtained the authorisation
of the Minister of the Interior; the sum to be raised
being ass million of francs. The price of the tickets has
been axed at 25c.

THE Last AMERICAN CANARD.—In the following
paragraph from a Baltimore paper we discover the egg out
of which was hatched the canard which was set flying is
British air on Friday last:—" Mr. George U. Porter, secre-
tary of the Exchange reading room, wee yesterday arrested
by order of General Wool, and sent to Fort ll•fleery. The
charge against Mr. Porter was the promulgation of a state-
ment that General 'Mellen bad been utterly routed, and
had taken refuge with hie staff on board the gunboat
Galena, that he had asked terms of capitulation, and
that General Lee bad refused any terms but an %moon.
ditional surrender. It was also stated that the whole
of ti diyisioo had been captured. A written
statement to this effect was handed around moue
the rebel sympathisers, and laid on the table for general
perusal. This is the point at which all the wild rumours
bare for some time originated, gotten up mostly to have an
effect on the stock market. The rumour in nassitice created
great excitement in the city, sad caused mane peeves@ to
sacrifice government stock, at a ruinous rate. Theme a I
Piggott was also rearrested. andeast to Fort ll'lleary on I
a charge of promulgating fabulous statements. Be was oat
on hie parole. haviogbowiweeloesly confined. Goons W.
Davie, a resident of West was also arrested sod
