Fromm Paris oorrospondenos of last night, which
did not serf's, until immediately before gang topress,
we must limit ourselves to the following extracts,
oomprislag the only important items of yesterday's
intelligence :
_ _ _ TITUDLY EVMMICI.

I The opening of the railway seetioTrlromireroncies
to Noun has placed an ancient and important city'
in steam communication with the capital, with which
its traele wu hitherto carried on chiefly by a line of
canals. The ceremony of the inauguration took
place on the 20th, and the minister of public works,
surrounded by M. Dapin, the prefect, and several
other notabilities, load and accidental, presided,
while the bishop of Never. pronounced a bene-
diction one the engines, and made a speech
appropriate to his sacerdotal character on the in-
fluence and moral tendency of railways. The notion
opened, 20 miles in length, presents some remarkable
works. The Allier is crossed by a stone bridge of 14
arches of 60 feet span. Near Guilin three systems
of bridges present themselves, which are destined
to three different modes of communication, the
bridge of the railway, the aqueduct whish con-
veys the lateral caul to the Loire, and
the bridge of the common road. The most
striking of thew works is the bridge thrown over the
Loire, which conveys the road to Nevers. Composed
of cant iron, it consists of seven arches, of one hun-
dred and forty feet span. M. Dumas stopped to
examine this construction, and presented the Cross of
the Legion of Honour to the young engineer, M.
Boucauuront. The Central Railway is one of
the most important and advanced lines in France.
The total length of the line from Paris to Nevers
is 188 miles, which was accomplished by
the train conveying the minister in seven
boun and a halL An unbroken communication of
this length is of rare occurrence in France.
Setting and. the Northern Railway it is surprising
how httle progress hes been made. The line from
Strasburg to Bale has only 86 miles comple•ed ; the
line of Nantes, 39 miles; the line of Bordeaux,
71 miles ; the lime from Paris to Havre, although
worked by two distinct and independent companies,
only 142 miles; the line from Paris to Strasburg,
which stops at Vitry-le-Fratelis, 127 miles ; the line
of Lyons, comprising the section from Chalons to
, Dijon, which is reached after a tong gap, contains in
all 165 miles; the line from Montereau to Troyes,
62 miles; the line from Paris to Chartres, 65
miles; the line from Avignon to Marseilles,
seventy-four miles. The rest are not worth men-
tioning. You see, therefore, that the Central Railway
is one of the most important in France as to length.
The Difoniteur publishes a decree of the President
of the Republic, making 44 promotions among the
captains and liedenlints of the national navy.
A letter from Cherbourg announces that the dis-
arming of the artillery of the National Guard and of
the 2nd company of one of the battalions, was effected
there without any disturbance.
