A RAILWAY ENGINEER AND AN IRISH BOG.—At
place called Knock-a-naugh, about 73 miles from Cork, the
engineer of the Great Southern and Western Railway of
Ireland met with a bog, which for a long time defied all his
ingenuity. His attempts to fill it up with firm earth totally
failed. It swallowed up every one of the numerous loads
cast into it, and gaped for more, making nothing of the
energetic measures thus taken to destroy it. A locomotive
engine fell a sacrifice to its insatiable nature, for having ven-
tured too far it was taken in by the bog, and has never been
seen since; it now lies in the bog at some unknown depth
below the railway. At length the engineer overcame the
difliculty of the bog by stratagem, not force. Finding the
bog was too much for all the loads of solid stuff he could put
upon it, and was not to be filled up, he compassed his object
by floating the rails across it, which was done by wooden
rafters. By this means the bog is made to bear the rails
as firmly as any other part of this extremely well-laid rail-
way, and the great trouble it once gave is now only matter
of recollection.
MEXICO.--NEA ORLEANS, THURSDAY, SEPT. 25.
—We have received news from Mexico to the 25th of
August. The country generally was quiet. The papers
notice the death of General Carrosas. General Morin had
been censured for surrendering the Almagre and Sarabia,
the two American vessels seized at Tehuantepec. An in-
surrection has broken out in the central American states of
San Salvador and Guatemala. General Carrera, with a force
of I ,500 men, had attacked the enemy in San Salvador, who
mustered 4,000 strong, and defeated them, with a loss of four
men killed. Ho then evacuated the country.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.—

Cope, Earl of Liverpool, were interred on Friday last in 13ux-
ted Church, Sussex, near to the splendid mansion of the de-
ceased nobleman. Colonel Harcourt, R. N. Jenkinson, Esq.,
and other relatives attended the obsequies.

sive undertaking, the foundation stone of which, it will be

with great ceremony, is now nearly completed.
