NOTICE TO MANUFACTURERS AND OTHERS.
Arrangements are new made for the CONVEYANCE
of ARTIZANS, with their Wives and Families, Factory
Hands, and other workpeoplo through to PARIS, at
REDUCED FARES, by ordinary Third-Class Trains
Daily, on production of the authorised form of certificate
from their employers.

who sell their Governments to reinvest in these bonds,
thus securing a greater interest. • Ninth—As the Union
Pacific Railroad bonds are offered for the present at 90
cents on the duller and accrued interest, they aro the
cheapest security in the market, being 15 per cent. less
than United-States stocks. Tenth—At the currant rate of
premium on gold, they pay over 9 per cent. interest.
The immense importance to the wltole world of the above
lnterpriso induces us to publish the entire prospectus of
the company. Wo are gratified to learn that the house of
Norton and Co., American bankers, have made arrange-
ments to introduce these bonds iu Europe upon the most
favourable terms. As there is at present no security of-
fered which presents so favourable an.opportunity for in-
vestment, we feel confident that the demand will be fully
equal to the expectations of those gentlemen, who are now
prepared to pay the July:coupons•at their banking-house,
14, rue Auber, Paris.

RAILROAD EARNINGS PER MILE. -- Seventeen
railroads in America, all but thr'ee Western, earned dur-
ing the month of April $6,030,678. This is an increase
over the returns for the same month of last year of
$334,538. Five of these roads suffered a slight decrease.
The aggregate length of these seventeen roads is 7,368
miles ; their average earnings per mile during April were
$BlB, an increase of $25-over the returns for April of last
year. The aggregate length of the railroads in England,
Scotland, and Ireland is 13,286 miles. Their gross earn-
ings during the-week ending May 3, 1867, were $3,491,233
in gold. This was an increase over the returns for the
same week of last year of $9BOl. The receipts per mile
for the week fivers $278 14,gA, which is a heavier _rate
than that on the seventeen American roads of which we
have spoken.

TILE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—A New York paper
says very rapid progress is being made with the
work of the Pacific Railroad from this end of the
route ; but we learn that the energetic Californians
are pushing along from the other end with even
more marvellous rapidity, since their work lies not on the
level prairie land, but amid mountain passes and through
the tough rock of the Sierra. The great Summit Tunnel,
to be 1,660 feet long, had generally been calculated as a
3 or 4 years' job; but, putting in practice the underground
tactics which their quartz-mining had taught them, our
California friends not only began at both ends, but sunk a
shaft in the middle and worked both ends from that. The
tunnel was commenced last September, and on the Ist of
May had but 681 feet remaining to be taken out. This
was disappearing at the rate of 60 feet each week, which
rate promises to have it completed in August —eleven
months from the start ! The road is now open for busi-
ness as far westward as Julesburg, 330 miles west from
the initial point. The telegraph has been built westward
as far as the 385th mile. The President, on the sth inst.,
accepted this eleventh section and ordered the bonds and
patents for lands to be issued to the company. The pre-
vious section of 40 miles was accepted by the President on
the 10th June. Within one month this company has re-
ceived from the Government bonds to the amount of
sl,2Bo,ooo—the subsidy given for the construction of 80
miles of railroad.

By the middle of October the iron horse will be
mounting the rugged sides of the Rocky Mountains, so
the Jacksonville Journal says, and startling the genii of
the mountains from the slumber of ages. The editor
thinks then it would be a fine thing if two, or say three
hundred editors, from all parts of the country should join
in an excursion to the western terminus of 'the grandest
achievement of the age." The various railroad com-
panies would be sure to give free passes, he thinks, and
we dare say he is right ; he is lamentably wrong when he
offers us this bewitching inducement in a circular : " or,
if the Indians should continue belligerent, we might join
General Sherman on a short expedition, and each be
allowed to take and bring away a trophy of valour in the
shape of the scalp of a redskin." If the editor of this
journal makes one of the party, he will insist,. in the
interest of humanity and civilisation, that the editor of
the Jacksonville ✓ournal be allowed to go no further than
Omaha, or at the very furthest Fort Kearney.—The
Nation.

The Boston, Hartford, and Erie Railroad Com-
pany is reported to have arranged with the Erie Railway
and the Pennsylvania Coal Company to indorse its bonds
for 57,000,000. This sum, with the three millions granted
by the State of Massachusetts, will suffice to complete the
unfinished links between Willimantic and Mechanicsville,
and between Waterbury and Pishkill.

Late Colorado papers state that the railroad con-
nection between the Pacific Railroad at Crow Creek and
Golden City, in the mining regions of Colorado, will be
completed in May, 1868. The calculated approximate
distance from the Union Pacific Railroad, Omaha Branch,
on Crow Creek, to Golden City, by the first route, is about
eighty-four miles; and Ly the South Platte and Clear
Creek 'Valleys to Golden City, about ninety-eight miles.
The length of the proposed branch to Denver is about seven
miles.

The Cincinnati Gazette says the railroad men who
have been negotiating in the interest of the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, to get control of a through line from
Philo delpha to St. Louis, have not been able to obtain pos-
session of the Indianopolis and Terre Haute Railroad,
althnugh they have secured the Terre Haute and Alton
Road.

From California we have the information that
the Central Pacific Railroad is being pushed forward with
energy. There are 16,000 workmen employed in grading ;
the tunnel, 1,658 feet long, will be completed in August,
and the road over the Sierra Nevada mountains will be
finished in November. The recent strike of the Chinese
labourers only caused a suspension of work for one day.
The business of the road for Juno largely exceeded that in
May, the gross receipts being $122,000 in coin.

The superintendent then conducted them over the
steam cooperage, where extensive improvements are

Hospital at half-past three.
The United States' navy practice squadron, under
the command of Commodore S. 8.-Luce, consisting
of the sailing corvettes Maudonian, 18 guns, Capt.
S. 0. Selfridge (flag); the Savannah, 12 guns, Capt.
B. Taylor, and the Dale, • 6 guns, Capt. R. W.
Meade, arrived and anchored at Spithead yesterday
morning from Cherbourg. Oa anchoring, the
Commodore's .ship- exchanged salutes with the gar-
rison and the flagship of Admiyal Sir Thomas S.
Pasley, the Port Admiral and Naval Commander-
in• Chief.

The turret ships Royal Sovereign, Capt. C. P.
Coles, C. 8., and Wivern, Capt. Burgoyne, V.C.,
steamed out yesterday from Portsmouth into the
Channel for a day's practice with their 9-inch rifles,
and drill with turrets and gun-carriages.
The Nymphe, 4, unarmoured screw sloop, 1,081
tons, 300 horse power, Commander T. Barnadiston,
made her official trial of speed yesterday over the
measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, and
attained' a mean speed of 13.066 knots with full-
boiler power, and 10417 knots with half-boiler
power. The load on the safety valve was 301 b. ;
mean revolutions of engines with full power, 102 ;
with half power, 78 ; the steam pressure, 28.51 b. ;
the vacuum, 26in. The engines were constructed
by Maudslay, Field, and Son on their three cylinder
principle, and are fitted with surface condensers
and superheaters according to the new Admiralty
fashion, the terms now imposed upon contractors
being that all marine engines built for the Admi-
ralty shall exert, according to their indicator cards,
six times their nominal power. The Nymphe's en-
gines drive a two-bladed Griffiths screw, fitted with
Maudslay's shifting blades, of 15ft. diameter, and
set at a pitch of 15ft.; the cylinders of the engines
have a diameter of 55in., and a length of stroke of
30in.
The following"appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Staff Commander W. S. Luke
to the Fisgard, to take charge of Dock, for Ber-
