Clara.

This road, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,
which has hitherto attractedsbut little notice in England,
is now completed, and at this date the trains are pro.
bably running through from sea to sea. Its effect upon
the commerce Of the world, when its advantages are
fully developed, it is difficult to estimate ; but, as it is
the only easy transit for passengers, and the only prac-
ticable one for merchandise, it is evident that it will open
an important channel of communication between the two
great oceans, and become a source of very large revenue
to its projectors. It extends from Navy Bay, on the
Atlantic, to the Bay of Panama, on the Pacific, its en-
tire length being less than 49 miles. Its gauge is five
feet, its grades( easy, the highest for a short distance near
the summit being 60 feet to the mile on the Pacific, and
53 feet to the mile on the Atlantic slope ; the summit
being only 250 feet above the level of the sea. It is well
bui't, and, in the opinion of engineers who have reported
upon it, is in every respect as good a road as any on the contl-
nent of America. Some of the bridges are of iron, and WHITEHALL, JAN. 31.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —Feb. 2.

SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday there were two sum-
monses heard befora Mr. Combe, under the Smoke
Nuisances Act, which exhibited the extraordinary dif-
ference of opinion among Magistrates as to their decisions,
or the real nieanin-g of the act. A number of manufac-
turers have lately been fined 5/. in this court fur not
complying with the regulations of the act of Pardarnent,
although they show that they had used patents which
they considered sufficient to consume the smoke • but
recently the same magistrates have dismissed complaints
of a similar kind. The magistrates of this court are of
opinion that where the parties have constructed appa-
ratus which they believe to be capable of consuming
the smoke, they ought not to be fined.
The 51.4 summons heard to-day was against_ William
Bryer, trotter-dresser and glue-manufacturer, Manor-
lanr, Bermondsey.

Mr. Wm. Sandeson, the Government engineer, said
that he inspected the defendant's premises on the 20th
ult., when he found six boilinc, pans, with separate fur-
naces, communicating with three shafts, each about 35
feet high. They were common furnaces, and no altera-
tion had been made to them. There was a dark thick
smoke emitted, which was extremely offensive. One of
the furnaces had only been fixed last week, and no ap-
paratus lead been constructed.

Mr. Combe—ls there any process by which they can
consume the smoke effectually',
Mr. Bandeson—Yes, there is, and I told the defend-
ant's foreman that if they used the apparatus the shaft
must be raised considerably.
_ _

Tho LlP6Rnriant'q clerk that wins; the inspection he
had und coke instead of coal, and ho believed that pre-
vented any noisance. They wei s about to make ar-
rangements ; therefore he hoped his worship would sus-
pend his judgment.
Mr. Joseph Payne, who attended for Hr. Bodkin,
informed the magistratJ that defendant ma l done nothing
whatever to consume the smoke. Ile must therefore
press fur the full per:alty in C.tis (Aso.
Mr. Combo accordingly fined defendant st. and costs.
Mr. Henry Barber, manufacturer of tartaric acid,
Jamaica-level, Bermondsey, was next summoned under
the satne act.

Mr. Sandcson said he inspected defendant's premises
on the 10th of January and found two ste am-boilers and
two furnaces, one of which was at work. The shaft was
sufficiently high, and he observed a thick volume of
black smoke emitted from it, lasting more than a qua! ter
of an hour. On examining the furnaces be found that
no alteration had been made to consume the smoke. Mr.
Barber told him that he had previously used coke,
which emitted no smoke, but, being out of it that day,
he used coal. He also said he would immediately make
the required alterations.

Defendant—Suppose I use fuel that makes no smoke,
shall I be liable to a penalty ?
Mr. Combe—The act says the furnace must be so
constructed as to consume its own smoke. I shall not
give my opinion about the fuel or what might be the
result of that You must apply to an able lawyer for
advice on that point.
Mr. Payne—l don't think the authorities would in-
terfere where there is no smoke.
The defendant said he had au apparatus applied to his
furnaces within 48 hours after the inspection, and no
smoke had been emitted, except when firing or making
experiments,. All the smoke-consuming apparatus will
send forth smoke for a short time when firing is going
on. •

Mr. Combo said he thought there was something in
this case which showed that the defendant had complied
with the act of Parliament as soon as the defect was
pointed out by the Government Inspector. He should
therefore not order a conviction to be' recorded, but
allow it to stand over for a mouth. If at the end of
that time the apparatus was effectual, the Government
would not ask for the penalty.

The claims for compensation in respect of the un-
slightly block of buildings which obstructs Threadneedle-
street have been settled. The thoroughfare is to be
opened forthwith from the Exchanie to Bishopsgate.
The parties interested claimed 35,276/. ; they hare got
28,7111..

A slight change is in coontemplation in the uniform of
the French regiments of the line. The collars are all to
be yellow, as those of the light infantry were, and which
corps now do not form a sepaiate branch of the service,
but are numbered from 76 to 100 as regiments of the
line. The skirts of the coat will be lengthened so as to
come a little below the knee. The change in the collar
will be male immediately, and the other modification in-
troduced by degrees, as new clothing is supplied.
