HONDURAS INTEROCEANIC.

A deputation, composed of Mr. R. W. Crawford,
M.P., Mr. J. S. G. Kirkpatrick, Mr. M. Travers,
Lieutenant-Colonel Stanton, R.E., Mr. Wright,
C.E., and Dr. Holland had an interview with. Sir
John Pakington yesterday at the Admiralty upon
the subject of the Honduras Interoceanie Railway.
The deputation submitted the maps of the line and
ports prepared by Lieutenant-Colonel Stanton, the
officer deputed by the Government to review the
route, and represented that it was in the most
direct line between this country and Australia,
that the harbours both on the Atlantic and
Pacific were spacious, accessible, and safe in
all weathers, that the Bay_ of Fonseca is upwards
or 3,000 miles nearer to Vancouver's Island than
Valparaiso, 700 miles nearer than Panama to
British Colombia, and in a healthy and well
provided locality. It was Stated that a substantial
contractor had tendered to construct the railway
for /2,500,000, and pending its construction to cut
through a sufficient road for the carriage of the
mails at a moderate cost, within 12 months from
the present time. This road would bring Great
Britain within 18 days of the Pacific coast, and
within about 40 days of Australia. The line lay
through the territories of the single friendly State,
a treaty between which and this country guarantees,
under all circumstances, the safety of property and
independence of the road.

UALIV AYT HARBOUR.

A report has been made to the Admiralty, by
Capt Washington, R.N., Capt. Vetch, R.E., and
Mr. Barry Gibbons, on the capabilities and require-
ments of the port and harbour of Galway, in Ire-
land. These gentlemen were ordered to report on
the questions, whether anv part of Galway Bay is
capable of being made a'harbour of refuge, and
whether, from its position, the local advantages
which it possesses would invest it with claims as a
packet station. The reporters reply that Galway
Bay is, to a great extent, a harbour already formed
by nature. Its approach from the ocean is well
defined, it is easy of access, and free from outlying
dangers. It has a width of 20 miles between the
outer headlands which shelter the bay, while the
magnificent natural breakwater of the Arran
Isles stretches across 14 miles of the width,

and arrests the force of the swell of the At-
lantic, leaving on either side a navigable
channel or sound of some four miles in width,
well defined by day, and admirably lighted
by night. This bay is 25 miles in length from the
Isles of Arran to the town of Galway, and all within
it safe as far as concerns the main point of a har-
bour of refuge—viz., the saving of life. As far as
the reporters are aware no loss of life from stress
of weather ever occurred in Galway Bay within the
Arran Isles. That Galway has a claim as a packet
station the enterprise of the Lever Transatlantic
Packet Company has satisfactorily demonstrated.
It is an established fact that large Transatlantic
steamers carrying 300 passengers have for months
used Galway as a packet station, have performed
their voyages with punctuality and safety, and on
one occasion made the passage from Newfoundland
to Ireland in less than six days, the quickest pas-
sage on record. The reporters proceed to consider,
in reply to the third query of the Admiralty, what
plan'should be adopted for facilitating the landing
and embarkation of passengers and goods, espe-
cially during the winter months. Into these ques-
tions of detail, which involve much technicality, it
is unnecessary to follow the report.

Dobbs, M.P. for Carrickfergus, will succeed to the lato Mr.
Martley as Judo of the Landed Estates Court.

o'clock on Thursday, the ith of April next.
Yesterdayafternoon, in accordance with the gar-
rison orders issued by Major-General Eyre, the
officers belonging to the various branches of tie
service at Chatham garrison, with a large body
of troops, assembled at the residence of the
late Captain It. H. Fry, 15th Regiment,
at Clarence House, Gillingham,• on the occa-
sion of that deceased officer being buried
with military honours. The troops left the resi-
dence shortly after two o'clock preceded by a firing
party, consisting of one captain, two subalterns,
and 100 rank and file with arms reversed. Imme-
diately in front of the body marched the band of
the Royal Engineers, their instruments hung with
crape, playing the "Dead March in Saul." The
coffin, on which were placed the deceased officer's
shako, sword, gloves, &c., was borne to the grave on
a field-gun-carriage drawn by horses of the Royal
Engineer Train, the pall being born by officers of
the same rank as deceased, and followed by the
officers and troops detailed for the procession. When
the coffin had been deposited in the grave, the firing
party closed round and fired three volleys over it,
after which the funeral procession marched back to
barracks. Captain Fry entered the sei vice in
1854, the date of • his commissions being—Ensign,
June 6, 1854 ; Lieutenant, Feb. 2, 1855 ; and 'Cap-
tain, June 15, 1858.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

Official reports to the Board or Irade on certain
accidents which occurred on railways during
the last eight months of the year 185$ (Part
V.) were published on Saturday. The ac-
accidents are far too numerous to be dealt
with, except cursorily and incidentally. The
The following companies are inculpated by the re-
port, so far as the accidents were the result of care-
lessness, negligence, or want of efficient arrange-
ments—viz., the Birkenhead, Lancashire, an
Cheshire Junction Railway Company (defective
engine, &c.), the Bristol and Exeter (want of foot-
bridge at a level crossing and defective minor ar-
rangements), the Chester and Moly-head, the Dee-
side, the Eastern Counties (gross and culpable care-
lessness of a driver of train) ; same line (neglect of
signalman) ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, Great West-
ern (excessive speed over a curve of small radius ; Lin-
conspire and Yorkshire (bad boiler), the Londonderry
and Coleraine, the North Western, the South Western
(guards riding outside break-carriages--a practice
strongly reprehended); same line (want of break
power); the Midland (neglect to signal, the felloW,
quietly eating his breakfast instead of minding his

duty); the Monklands, the' North British,'" the
North-Eastern, the North London (defective
system of signalling), the North Union, the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the
Rhymney, the South-Eastern, and the Waterford
and Tramore. Judging from these reports, defec-
tive arrangements of all sorts—or, in other words,
faults or omission—would appear to be rather the
general rule than the exception on the railways of
the united kingdom.

THE SOURCE OF TILE NILE.

A letter from Marseilles, of the 26th inst., states
that a fresh expedition has been organised for dis-
covering the source of the Nile. The expedition is
conducted by M. Miani, a Venetian, who has in-
habited Cairo for the last 10 years. He is a member
of the Geographical Society of Paris, and the
author of a map of the valley of the Nile. He has
carefully studied the various difficulties attending
his perilous enterprise. He came to France two
months since to complete the materiel and theper-
sonnel of his expedition. The Emperor Napoleon
authorised the Minister of War to deliver to M.
Miani the arms and ammunition necessary for his
escort. The director of the arsenal of Marseilles has
consequently forwarded 100 flint muskets and 3,000
cartridges to Alexandria. The expedition is com-
posed of the Parisian painter, Dumas ; Captain
Peyhoux, of the French commercial navy, whose
mission is to make observations and fix the degrees
of latitude and longitude, and to construct boats to
traverse the lakes which the expedition may meet ;
•f M. Paussel, of Avignon, secretary to the expe-
dition; a physician, a naturalist, and a chemist,
who are now in Egypt. The expedition will fix
its head-quarters at Kartoum, in Upper Egypt,
a town in which about a dozen natives of Mar-
seilles or Genoa reside. M. Miani is supplied
with a formidable materiel, and his escort 'is
to be numerous. He takes with him a quantity
of French trinkets, to present to the chiefs
of Arab tribes, or to African princes, or for traffic.
M. Miani's expedition has a double character—first
scientific, and next commercial. M. Miani has
already contracted with merchants in Paris for the
delivery of elephants' teeth, gold dust, copper,
coral, indigo, lion, panther, leopard, and tiger
skins, which are of great value in Paris. The mem-
bers oft he Miani expedition are armed with Minie
rifles which kill at 1,000 yards, and with sabres
similar to those of the Chasseurs of Vincennes,
which fit to the rifles. They are likewise fur-
nished with cuirasses and metallic masks, to
protect them from the bite of poisonous insects.
They carry with them likewise a supply of fright•
ful masks calculated to terrify the most savage
tribes. The members of the expedition, who will
feed themselves as they can, and chiefly by the
chase, will traverse Nubia, Sennar, and Abyssinia.
They expect to go far beyond the Equator, and to
ascertain whether such a tribe of Negroes exists as
the Niam-Niam ; and, if they find protection, they
will traverse Africa in its entire length, and come
out on the coast opposite Zanzibar. When all the
preparations are concluded, M. Miani and his col-
leagues will embark on board the English steamer
which carries the Indian mail, or on Sunday next,
on board the Tamise, of the Messageries Imperiales
Company. en arriving at Alexandria they will
, claim the protection of Said Pacha, Viceroy of
Egypt.

A SPANISH BULL FIGHT.
This gorgeous pageant, so long in preparation by Messrs.
HOWES and CUSHING, will be produced on MONDAY,
March 28th, and continue during the WEEK, and ending
their SEASON in LONDON. The Californian performers
having acted as principals in a Bull-fight in America for up-
wards of 100 nights, will undertakethe same exploits in Lon-
don. Not the slightest danger or annoyance need be appre-
hended by the audience, as the same admirable order and
caution will be preserved by the proprietors, which has dis-
tinguished all their undertakings, and made their establish-
ment so popular in England. The regular Equestrian per-
formances, the same as last week, will be produced in addition
to the Bull-fight, which takes place Morning and Evening.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA ; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures o the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.

Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition from the chancel-
lor and members of the congregation of the University of
London praying that they might be represented in Par-
liament. The prayer of the petition stated that the
graduates already amounted to 1,000, and were increasing
at the rate of 1•O annually, and that at the time of the
foundation of the university it was stated by her Majesty's
advisers that the institution would be placed on the same
footing as the other universities of the country.
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
VOTE OF CENSURE ON THE GOVERNMENT.
Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said that in consequence of the
very explicit statement of the Attorney-General for Irdand,
to the effect that an adverse vote on the Government bill
would be considered by her Majesty's Ministers as a vote
of censure, he would withdraw his motion on the subject.

FRANKFORT, MONDAY.

The Ilrailich Gazette publishes officially the ap-
plication of M. Von der Pfordten for his dismissal

Ministry.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.

"It is asserted that the Conferences on the
affairs of the Danubian Principalities will re-
assemble at Paris in the course of the present week.
" Two sittings only will be held, all the Powers
having agreed to recognise the election of Prince
Couza.

"It is said that the Congress will take place
between the 15th and 20th of April. The Presse even
fixes the date for its assembling as the Ist of April.
" Yesterday a private dinner was given at the
Tuileries, at which Count Cavour was present. It
is said that Count Cavour is much pleased with his
stay, and that he will quit Paris probably on
Wednesday next.

"It is also said that the Count will afterwards
go to London."

The Siede contains the following :—" France,
Italy, and England have no reason to fear the
ancient Diet of Frankfort, which is nothing but a
ghost. And when:. we speak thus of the Frankfort
Diet we express the opinion of Germany, -whose
nationality we respect, and who does not require
the sword of France to defend herself, but whom
we would defend if necessary; for the principle of
nationalities is a principle eminently French, and
none are more decided than ourselves to sus-
tain it."

A telegram announces the result of the election
of a representative for the department of the Haut
Ithin. Electors inscribed, 34,520. M. Keller, the
Government candidate, 18,550. Count Migeon,

TILE CU.RRENCE

(Fiont the Derbyshire Courier.)
The Bank return of March 16 exhibits a trifling
decrease in the amount of bullion held, which is
now £19,922,732. The active circulation is
£20,331,255, being only £408,523 in excess, of the
bullion. • The unemployed notes held by the Bank
is very large, being .£13,349,695. The drain of
silver to the East must, however, exercise an in-
jurious tendency. The Inds took out £647,801
of silver for India. The price of silver bullion is
62Zd., being an advance of 7,, an ounce since Friday
last, with a rising market, the Indian exchanges
being more adverse than they were, and Govern-
ment being 'obliged to make considerable remit.
tances.

Notwithstanding any favourable appearances of
improved trade, and the immense stock of bullion
held by the Banks of France and England, the
continuance of a heavy drain of bullion to the
East mut have the effect of raising the rate of
discount, diminishing confidence, and disarranging
all commercial transactions. Under the existing
monetary system nothing can withstand the ab-
straction of Imillion from this country. We warn
the commercial public that a monetary crisis is not
necessarily confined to a certain cycle of years. We
may have one again before many persons
.expect it.

We learn, by the Melbourne Herald, that the
Overland Mail which left London, on the 16th of
November last, reached Melbourne, by the Oneida,
on the 19th of January, 6-1 days, while the mails
by the Great 13ritam, which sailed from Liverpool
on the 20th November, four days later, reached, by
way of the, Cape of Good Hope, on the 26th Jar.,
in 67 days.

PETITIONS.

Several petitions were presented in favour of the Local
Rates Exemption Act; from various dissenting bodies for
the same benefits as those enjoyed by members of the
Chuich of England in regard to endowed churches; in
favour of Parliamentary Reform ; for the exemption of
hospitals from local rates; against the Government Reform
Bill ; in favour of the Superannuation Bill, &c. &c,

India Office, 25th March, 1850.
THE SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA, in
COUNCIL, HEREBY GIVES NOTICE, That on and
after the Ist May next, Promissory Notes of the Indian
Loans, which have been enfaced for payment of interest in
London, by drafts on India, may be registered in Books to be
opened in this Office, so as to admit of the sale and transfer of
the whole, or any portion of such property, in even hundreds
of rupees. When holders may desire again to receive their
interest in India, a certificate of the amount standinc, in such
register will be given to them, to be exchanged in Calcutta
for promissory notes as before.
This notification is not intended in any way to interfere
with the essential conditions of the several loans.

Company has its factory at Battersea. The boats
turned out by these companies, and their engines,
are inferior to none of those constructed by profes-
sional firms, either in strength, speed, or durability.
These general remarks on the history of the
Thames Steam Companies will serve as an intro-
duction to the history of the various individual
companies whose fleets now traverse its waters.
They will serve also to point out the rocks upon
which their predecessors have struck and made
shipwreck, and may prove a beacon to warn those
who are tempted to follow their footsteps.

THE AFFAIR AT THE PEITIO.

In regard to the unfortunate affair at the mouth
of the Peiho, we give, just now, only the following
additional scraps of intelligence.
The Mongolian Prince Senn-ko-lin-sin is believed
to have commanded in person, and is described to
us as a dark, taciturn, determined, and energetic
man, may about 36 years old, and much dreaded
by the Emperor. He is a prince of the empire, and
severe in his manner.

Tho news of the disaster was certainly known in
Canton, and we think here also, before the Aden
arrived, having come direct overland. The Chinese
are unanimous in thinking that the Emperor was
afraid of being ousted from his capital by a largc
force of foreign soldiers, and relying upon this feat
Senn took the responsibility of the affair upon him-
self. A handbill, with a rude lithograph (not a
purely Chinese work) of the fight; making the
cannon balls nearly the size of the ships, has been
largely purchased here and at Canton. The follow-
ing is an accurate translation of theaccount it gives,
in Chinese, of the fight :--
"NEWS FROM TIEN -TSIN.—The barbarians started
from Shanghae on the 15th day of the fifth moon.
and on arrival communicated with Senn Wang
(Prince Senn), and allowed him three days to take
away the wooden and iron obstacles in the river,
and he answered that they must stay in the outer
ocean until the commissioners, Kwei-liang and
llwa-shana, arrived at Pekin, when they would be
invited to go to Pekin. The barbarians were not
willing to agree to these terms. The same day
they tried to pall away the stakes by means of
their gait boats and men of war. The forts fired
upon them. The battle lasted from the 23d to the
morning of the 24th. Five or six hundred of the
Sons of Devils (Kwei-chee) were killed, and one
head officer (Ping-tau) with more than thirty of the
officers (Ping-chung). They (the foreigners) seeing
that the fire had slackened in the forts called their
sampens to land to attack the forts, but the slacken-
ing of the fire was a device (Kei) of the Chinese
soldiers, and about four hundred of the devil's sol-
diers (Ping-kwei) were killed. Their boats were
knocked to pieces. We have heard that the men
of war are to rendezvous at Chusan, but do not
know what will follow."

MARSEILLES, SEPT. 26.
Advices have been received from Morocco to the
19th inst., announcing that a body of French troops
had been concentrated at Nemours. The enemy
retreated after having attacked the towns of Lalla
Niaghrirla and Nedrowna, and set fire to the French
mines at Alazig. The authorities have established
a garrison at the mines of Gar Rouban, and con-
tinue to take energetic measures for the protection
of the inhabitants.

The colonists hope that a military expedition
will cross the frontiers, and take as well as chastise
the town of Ouchda.

ZURICH, SEPT. 26.

The Marquis de Nerli dined yesterday with the
Baron de Bourqueney, and! left afterwards for
Paris.

It is said that he is the bearer of a despatch from
the Grand Duke of Tuscany (who is now residing
