And at this stage of the game the match was drawn.

A SAILOR'S GRATITUDE.—A seaman named Black was
last week discharged from the Leander, 50, W. V. King,
the lucky fellow having come into a fortune, it is said, of
60,0001. During the fitting of the ship, and since his
return to this port, Jack was frequently an inmate of
the excellent establishment the Devonport Sailors'
Home, and, being not less wayward than others of his
class, Lieutenant Barnard, the master, had frequent oc-
casion to place the sailor under restrictions as to his
expenditure, and this saved him from the waste of his
bard earnings, for which, in his reasonable moments, he
was always thankful. On hearing of his good fortune,
Jack proceeded to his friend at the Home, announced
the fact, and solicited Lieutenant Barnard to become his
future guide, and protector of his money, offering him,
at the same time, command of a yacht, which it was his
determination to keep, with a salary of 5001. a-year.
The lieutenant hesitated, but, on Jack's earnestlyurging
his request, at last consented, stating, at the same time,
that he should be quite content with half the proffered
income if it were guaranteed for three years. A bargain
was at once struck, a lawyer brought, and a bond en-
tered into that the agreement might assume a legal form
and Lieutenant Barnard has left with his sailor friend
for Leith, to be present at the installation of the lucky
tar in his newly-acquired possessions.—Plymouth Mail.
PEACE CONFERENCE AT EDINBURGH.—Messrs, Richard
Cobden, M.P., John Bright, M.P., Edward Miall,
4.P., and others, have signified their intention of being
present at this conference. A large number of the
friends of peace from the south of England, and a still
larger number from the north, are making their arrange-
ments, with a view to attend.
THE RAILROAD THROUGH THE ALPS.—The Council
of the Canton of Ticino voted, on the 15th inst., by a
majority of 90 to 11, the concession of the projected
railroad through the Alps from Lake Maggiore to Lake
Constance, to unite the Piedmontese line with that of
Central Germany. The concession is granted to Mr.
Jo"tr Gurney, Mr. John Brett, and M. Curti,
acting
on behalf of Messrs. Masterman,Saidler, Laing, and
Co., of London. This railroad will have a tunnel
25,00
veo metntilatere or 16 miles English ; it will be lighted
and metres by 50 shafts of enormous depth.
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN, AND OXFORD, WOR-
CESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON.—The inter-traffic ar-
rangement between these companies is completed, and
it is understood to be the intention of the London and
North-Western to promote a renewed application to
Parliament for a mid-western line.
DIRECT NORTH.—Surveys are being made for a line
direct from Doncaster to Galashiels, to shorten still
more the distance between London and the north.
