All this isinsetiasouraging, and leaves no doubt
of the local ' et the undertaking, but of all
the railway he which firmans have been
granted and applied tar, not one appears
to offer such universal advantages u Mr.
loyard's new line hum Rutechuk to Enos.
This line gives direct communication between the
Danube and the Archipstago and almost uninter-
rupted railway transit froma-Ostend to the mouth of
the Maritsa. Branches to Constantinople and
Varna form part of the sehune, and commerce would
i then be no longer hindered by the tedious navigation
of the Dardanelles. The conditions of the flrmaa

"are-117CeTurgitesTdcirTe favourable," andalready
upwards of a million sterling has been imbscribed at
Constantinople. A concession for lighting this town
with gas has been granted to M. Marchnis, who re-
presents a French company.
Mr. Layard is hero en route for London.

STEAM AdCZET

The remarks of a correspondent, which we pub-
lished yesterday, on !ores in deep ass steam-ships, and the
anxiety with which their departure is regarded at Southamp-
ton, give rise to serious relisetiona The increseed rapidity

Meat gain, but it may be questioned whether too much has
sot been attempted. Excaosive speed at sea is necessarily
purchased by an augmentation of wet and risk of which the

The merchants and shipowners of Nantes have
jut signed a petition to the Emperor Napoleon, praying him
to obtain redress fnim the United Stator government for the

A similar petition has already been presented by the
merchants of Orleans, and others mu being signed at Paris,
Lyons, Marseilles, and Bordeaux.
THE CIVIL SERVICE IN RUSSIA.—AII ukase just
issaed by the Emperor Alexander 11. makes ware very ins-
portent
changes an the organisation of the civil service
throughout the Russian eeepire. Every person who has
been educated In my one of the public schools or colleges,
whatever his rank or birth may be, is admissible to the ser-
vice; and, by virtue of the privileges conferred
institutions,
different
periods upon the universities and other superior
upon the colleges or gymnasia, and upon the other secondary
establishments, all those who have ruccessfully finished their
course of study, and who quit the schools or colleges with
diploma. or certificates of distinction, will be placed, upon
their enterinxe tho civil service, in a rank
_proportioned to the
degree of thor educational proficiency. The ukase contains
other pprorovisions, to limit much more narrowly than it has
heretofore been, the acquisition of noble rank Icy service in
the government Aim. It is renierked bye St *Petersburg
correspondent of Le Kent, that unless some limit were put to
that Foram, Russia would be quite overrun with hereditary
nobles, whom rank has been tittle earned. Mach credit to
ascribed to the present Emptier, for these mamma, which
open the highest offices in the state to the ability and energy
of young men of the poorest and humblest claws in society.
