rtushicnt of the Republic of iloWdurau being duly autho-
rised, has given full porters to Menu Victor Herren, Minister at
and Senor Don earleaGutSerrea, Honduras Minister in Lon-
don, to contract on account vf the Oovernntent a Loan to be ap-
ieti towards the construction of an Inter-oceanic Railway from
Puerto Cabala., on the Atlantic, to the Bay of Fonseca, on the
Puine.

'l'u abow the Importance attached by the British Government
to the Honduras Inter-oceanic itailway,it may be Mated that the
line has been surveyed on the part of her Malesty's Government
by lieutenant-Colonel Stanton, /lE, and a detachment of Royal
Engbieen seat nut for the purpose. Colonel Stanton reports
t• that the Whoa's at both termini arc unexceptionable, and
that the road can be constructed without any sharper curves
or heavier gradients than are to be found on existing lines
over which locomotives work without dUliculty "
•

The new treaty between Honduras and Great Britain declares
tbat—
. .

• • In order to secure the construction and permanence of the
route or road herein contemplated, and also to secure for the
benefit of mankind the uninterrupted advantages of such corn-
munkation from sea to sea, her Britannic Majesty recognises
the rights of sovereignty and property of Honduras to and over
the line of the said road, and for the same reason guarantees,
positively and eificaciously, the entire neutrality of the same.
And when the proposed road shall have been completed, her
Britannic Majesty equally engages, in conjunction with the
Republic of Honduras, to protect the same from interruption,
seizure, or unjust confiscation, from whatsoever quarter the
attempt may proceed."
Treaties signed by the Honduras Government with France and
the United States contain the same provisions, and the French
Gureniment, considering the public utility of the Honduras
Railway, has promised the °Medal quotation of the Honduras
loan on the Paris Bourse.

The following otlicial report by Rear Admiral Davie, mad. to
the Secretary of the Navy of the United States tiovernment, An
compliance with a resolution of the American Congress on the
19th of March, 1866, demonstrates likewise the importance which
the United States Government attaches to the construction of
the Honduras brie:

The reader who follows the course of the sweepers, natu-
ralists, end geolegists from the capacious, nate, and excellent
harbour of Puerto Cabello., through regions remarkable for thehr
salubrity, fertility, great variety of climate and productions, and
valuable mineral resources to the waters of the splendid harbour
of La Union (Bay of Fonseca), cannot but regret that capitalists
have not tumid it to thsdr Intermit to ccaarrryry out one of the most
promising and one of the least era enterprises of the
day."
The line of railway has been carefully selected and surveyed by
Mr. Trintwine ;late engineer-in-chief of the Panama Hallway)
and an efficient staff, and a contract has been entered Into for
the construction of whole line, with stations and rolling
stock, for • stipulated sum of about £n,ooo • mile, including
every outlay, end the woks are to be proceeded within sections.
From time to time, as the instalments of the present loan ate
received, the proportion to be applied to the construction of the
Brat section of the railway will be handed to and held by trustees
to trust, to pay the contractor the instalments on his contract, as
certilled.Edie government engineer. The balance of the loan
will be in clearing the foreste, and in payment of engineer-
big and incidental expenses.
The interest and sinking fund of the loan are specially gua-
ranteed by a But charge upon the intended railway itself and Its
revenue, and also by • lint mortgage upon the whole of the
domains and mahogany forests of the state of Honduras, which,
according to citadel report, are of immense value.
It is arranged that the whole of the prostate of the above mod-
gaged state domains and forms shall be consigned direct to lou-
den by the Honduras Goveruraent to Messrs. Hischoffitheim and
uoldschreidt, who will pay over the proceeds of the sales towards
the animal interest and sinking fund, and the construction of the
remaining sections of the railway.
It has been further arranged in the contract that, as soon as
any portion of the railway is completed, the contractor shall
bring down to the terminus, free of charge, by the return empty
waggons, any produce of the government forests and domains
that may be ready for shipment to Luglend.
Beginning at the harbour of Puerto Cabello's, on the Atlantic,
the nillway will proceed over the table land of Honduras—ln •
line of tit miles to the Bay of Fonseca, ou the Pacific.
The ports at either end are spacious, sale, and easily accessible
for the largest ships.
The steaming distances from Liverpool to San Francisco, tooth-
ing at Jamaica, are :—by wayof Panama, 7,980 milts—Nice:ago;
7,720 miles—Tehuantepec, 7,740 miles—Honduras, 7.320mi1e5.
The distance between new York and San Francisco, by
Panama, is 5,224 miles by Nicaragua, 4,700 miles ;by Tehuante-
pec, 4,200 miles ;by liondares, 4,1e1 miles saving, by wayof
Honduras, as compared with Panama, the only line on which •
railway la already constructed, of I,IOS miles.
The difference in actual distance, coupled with the superiority
of ports, the facilities of embarkation and disembarkation, and
the connexion with the American come lines, will effect • saving
in time, as compared with the Panama route, of not less than
five days between the Atlantic an/ Pacific porta of the United
btatm. _ _

-I'bColm will afford the eeriest, safest, and speediest route
between Great Britain and British Columbia; it will also offer
the increased facilities of firstrelase ports for the establishment
of speedy intercourse with Australia and New Zealand, and will
bring Jamaica, Belize, and other Britishfuns to the West
indirsinto the direct line of companies n.

Last year the dividend paid by the Panama Company was at
the rate of 24 per cent. per annum on a capital of 5i,g00,060, in
addition to a bonus of 40 per cent. front accumulated profits.
The Honduras line will In all probability return as much profit as
the Panama line, if not considerably more.
nnificlent of the proceed. of the present in.ue will be applied
folk, construction of the first section from Puerto Cabello. to
Santiezo. Thie section will enable the exportation et the
mahogany, he., to take place: the means of transport now exist-
ing being too expensive to heramunerative. Caret ul estimate. have
saddled the Honduras Government that the surplus revenue of
the Stater domains and forests will be amply meth:knit to com-
plete the whole line, without any further issue of stuck, but in
case It should be found advantageous, on account of increasing
infer, to accelerate the opening of the railway from era to sea
by rating more money further stock will be issued for the con-
struction of the remaining sections of the railway.

REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER. —Mr. Mitchell
Henry, of the firm of A. S. Henry, Manchester merchants,
and a candidate at the last election for Woodstock, was
yesterday.presented with a respectably-signed requisition,
inviting him to offer himself as a candidate for Manchester.
His address to the electors is already in the hands of his
committee, and will probably be issued this day. Mr.
Henry is of liberal politic*, but of a shade, it is under-
stood, that will ensure him considerable support from the
conservatives, if they do not get a candidate of their own.
Mr. Bennet is understood to have declined to stand. Mr.
Jacob Bright has commenced his carivass,and was to address
the electors last night at a ward meeting. His committee
received the following characteristic letter a few days
ago from Mr. Mark Philips, for many yearn a popular
represtntative of Manchester, and colleague in
parliament of Mr. P. Thomson (late Lord Sydenham) :
" Bnitterfield, Stratford-on-Avon, Nov. 9.—Gentlemen,—
I feel as if my own generation bad nearly passed away, and
myself with it. It is quite impossible for me to take any
active part now in say Manchester elections, but I cannot
desert my old friend Mr. Baxley, and I hope we shall
always pun together politically. I should like to reserve
myself to assist him, if I bare any power to do so, at his
next election, after which there will be few who knew me,
and still fewer of those with whom I have had the happi-
ness to be associated politically. If my name is considered
worth placing on Mr. Jacob Bright's committee, let it be
so. A year ago I should not have agreed in opinion on
several matters with Mr. J. Bright, but as he, like myself,
has now been outbid by Lord Derby's government, he can-
not precipitate me into any legislation more rash than
what has taken place already. I hope the liberal party
will work together in Manchester cordially.—l remain,
gentlemen, yours faithfully, MASK PHILIPS. —Messrs.
Thomas Chorlton and William Aldred, secretaries."
