He says that ~hcn the information he require,
is supplisd by competent authority, then both buy.
ers and sellers Of shares will have some data a
Judge from. which at present is confined to a cho.
sen few.
lie urges that the subscribers to new scheme,
beware, ere it is too late; look at the relative i.
%tuation Of the Railways. and compare estimate,
with real cost. The original estimate for rs
Liverpool and Manchester Railway was Goo.
600, OF less than two-ffths of the actual cost al.
ready incurred.
To this, il we add twenty per cent. for the IL
terest account, the present cost will be abop,

The same paper contains two cases Of accidel.,
on the Rail Road; one oceasioned by the plpg
which secures the turning table having been re.
moved; by this three persons lost their lives. The
other case was the death of a man who was throw

spair, but being a warrior by food and by field,
he was not yet entirely overcome. Wreathing
his tail with agony, he happened to strike it
against a small tree that stood next the bayou
Aided by this purchase, he made a convulsive
founder, which precipitated himself and bruin,
locked together, into the river.
The bank from which they fell was four feet
high, and the water below seven feet deep. The
tranquil stream received the combatants with a
loud splash, then closed over them in silence. A
voIley of ascending bubbles announced their ar
rival at the bottom, where the battle ended
Presently bruin rose again, scrambled up the
bank. cast a hasty glance back at the river, and
made Of. drippling, to the cane brake never
saw the alligator afterwards, to know him; no
doubt he escaped in the water, which he certainly
would not have done, if he had remained a few
minutes longer on land. Bruin was forced by
nature to let go his grip under water to save his
own life; | therefore think he is entitled to the
credit of the victory; besides, by implied con-
sent, the parties were bound to finish the fghton
land, where it began. and so bruin understood
it. If this record should be carried up to the
Supreme Court of the United States, | think the
Judges would decide in bruins favor, by this mo-
dern principle of law. One thing is certain, viz.
they would decide that they had jurisdiction by
imptication-per force Of which, what is it that
cannot be nuilifed? S. IL.

Mn. EpiToR: The Kings g POLISH is so ter
ribly mangled that ] am induced out of regard 10
my suffering country. and the memory Of my brave
comrades, whose names are daily taken in vain,
to send you the following rules for Polish pro-
nunciation:-..AIl vowels are sounded. as in
French and Italian; and there are no dipthongs,
every vowel being pronounced distinctly. The
consonants are the same as in English, except W.,
which is sounded like o. at the beginning of a
word, thus Warsawa, Varsafa; in the middle or
at the end Of word it has the sound of !, as in
the instance already cited; and IN Narew, Naref.
G. like t., and never like k; thus, Pac, is sound
ed Pafz.,G, like z in Gibbon. thus Oginski. Oh
like the Greek x or K: thus Lech, lex. ca like the
English tch in puch; thus Czartoryski, like
Tehartoriski. 81, as sh in shape; thus Staszye,
like &ashytz. Szez, like shtch, and Szezetbiec,
like Shfcherbietz, Re-, like in je. with a slight
sound of r; thus RzewuskI. like Rjeruski.''-
