of the first named city is described as dreadful. Under
the iron rule of Rosas, there exists no security for life
or property, and men are frequently dragged from the'r
families and shot in the public streets. The war is still
continued with its wonted violence and brutality. A skir'
mish took place, outside the walls of Monte Video, on the
16th, in which the sortie were defeated and driven back

workmen have commenced to open the communication between
the dritt tunnel which has been carr ed through the foot of Sem'
land-strlet to the Markets, and the ground set apart for the sta-

commencement of operations on the branches to Leith al
Granton, which wiil form the communication with the sea, and
on the southern shore of the Firth with the Fife railway. TM'
railway must be considered by all who are interested in the pros's
perity of Edinburgh as of the highest importance to the city,
opening up to the waters of the German Ocean an outlet fortf.L!

ol,_

doubt but that this line of communication with the harbour;
Leith and Grant°r will not be the less lucrative than iter °
many feeders.—Edinburgh Record.
