BosToN AND PROVIDENCE RAIL-RoAD.-
We are authorized to say, that the cars will
commence running on this road for the ac-
commodation of the public, on Monday, the
18th inst. The cars will leave Boston, at 8
O'Clock, q. M, and will leave Providence on
the arrival of the steamboats, from New York.
We understand that it is in contemplation to
change the hour of the departure of the steam
boats from this city, to o'clock, p. m. Such
an arrangement would give passengers an
opportunity of spending few hours in Prov
idence, and accomplishing such purposes of
business or pleasure, as they may have.
The cars came through from Boston yes
terday morning with passengers for the
steamboat, in t,oo hours and t,venty .Gve min
,aes, including fve full stops,-having left
Boston at 8 O. clock, and arrived at India
Point at 95 minutes past 10.-When the via
duct is completed, and the engineers become
familiar with the crossings Of the roads, at
which the speed of the cars is always check
ed, there can be but little doubt that the pas
sage will be made within two hours.

1t is stated in the New Orleans papers that
the American schooner Martha, which sailed
from that port for Galveston Bay on the 25th
of April, arrived there on the Sd of May, and
was Immediately boarded by the boat Of a
Mexican cruiser from Montezuma. After
the Mexicans had taken possession, they
sent ten of the passengers, who went in the
Martha to settle as colonists in Texas, on
board the cruiser and confined them under
hatches until the next day. In the mean
time, the property Of the crew and passengers
was examined, and money and other articles
were carried away. Six Of the passengers
who had been in custody, were then convey
ed to Anahuae, where they were discharged
by the Collector; the other four were carried
off in the cruiser to Vera Cruz. The com
mander Of the cruiser had been captured
some years since by the U. s. schr. Gram
pus, and tried as pirate, but by some means
escaped, and stated to some Of the passen-
gers that he was determined to have his re-
venge upon the North Americans. The rea-
son assigned for the i'll treatment of the pas
sengers, was, that they were without pass
ports this, however, was not the case with
all Of them.

THE FRIENDS YEARLY MEETING which
commenced in this town on Sunday last has
been as fully attended, we believe, as on any
former occasion. On Sunday morning, after
the arrival of the steamers Boston, from New
York, Lexington and President from Provi-
dencc, and King Philip, from Fall River, our
streets were literally crammed with strangers,
exclusive Of the great number Of Friends who
had previously arrived. The number of pas
senqers In the above boats, was estimated at
from six hundred to a thousand. In the af-
ternoon, most of those who arrived in the
morning, (msny Of whom no doubt having re.
paired hither quito as much for frolic as for
any other purpose, ,)took their departure, leay-
ing the Friends to continue their meeting in
their accustomed quiet and peaceful manner.

Viaduct ofMe Providence Rail Road.-Itis
already known that one track of the Boston
and Providence Rail Road is completed
through, with the exception of the Viaduct at
Canton. The locomotives were put on at both
ends last week. We happened a few days
ago to be at Canton, and of course took care
to view the Viaduct. 1t is splendid work,
which might in the days Of yore, have done
honor to the enterprise OF an Emperor. But
now, private efforts accomplish such things
without parade. The Viaduct is to carry the
road over q ravine OF about six hundred feet,
and in the centre near seventy feet deep. 1t
is built of stone blocks, procured at the dis
tance of half mile, and drawn to the ground
on common carts and Wagons, and then
rough hewn into regular shapes. 1t is con-
tlnuous wall, with the exception Of six or se-
ven ground arches, which pass mill pond at
the bottom of the ravine. On each side of
the wall are ribs or pillars from the bottom.
projecting two or three feet, at intervals OF
twenty or thirty feet. On these, arches are
sprung latcrally with the main wall, which
will have the effect 10 give sufficient breadth
for the road, at the same time that they in
crease the beauty Of the architecture. The
two upper tiers of stone are to spread across
the arches, and above are to be raised para
pets completing the work. For about half
the distance the arches had been thrown over
last week; but in no part WIS the basis Of tho
road completed, and for one third Of the way
six or eight tiers were to be raised. The
work is going Oh rapidly, but must necessari-
ly occupy some weeks before its completion.
In the mean time the cars run to the COM
menccment of the Viaduct on each side,
where passengers and baggage have to be
taken down the bank then up again; process
Of no great dificulty.-[.N y Jour. Of Com.

SMALL Pox.-An opinion of no small i'm
portance if correct, was stated by DR.. Greg
ory, before the London College ofPhysicians,
on Monday, the 9th of April, in the course
of an essay which he then read, on the mutu-
al relation between the vaccine and small
pox virus. lie considered the vaccine lymph
to have lost much of its virtue from having
passed through the systems Of too many per-
sons, thirty FIVE years having elapsed since
matter was obtained direct from the COW, for
the purpose of vaccination. He was led to
this conclusion by the prevalence OF small
pox at this time in England, and the number
of established cases in which the disease had
been taken by persons who had been vaccin-
ated. lie thought it indispensable, to ensure
the proper effect 20 this preventive process
that fresh matter should be obtained from
its original source.

WASHINGTON. JuDe a.. 1875

Our elections took place on the usual day,
the first Monday in June, for one Alderman
for each ward. and the whole Of the Board Of
Common Council. The interest of these oc-
casions is principally local in its character,
and such it was on Monday last, with the ex-
ception Of the election in the Second Ward,
where Coltman was a candidate for re.elec-
ton as Alderman. The part which this man
took in the attempt to mplicate Mr.. Poindex-
ter in the design to assassinate General Jack =
son, had rendered him particularly odious to
the friends of the Senator, and of the cause
which that gentleman has so ably supported.
The result has been very mortifying to Mr..
Coltman and his supporters. Out Of about
200 votes, he had perhaps a fraction above
10, while Mr.. Dyer outstripped him by up
wards of so votes.

CIRCUIT CoURT.-The u. 5. Circuit Court
commenced it's June term in this town, on
Monday last, at 10 o'clock, a. m.-Present
Hon. JOHN PIrMAN, District Judge. The
Grand Jury and two petit jures having been
empannelled, the oath was administered to
them, and the Court then adjourned till 3 o.
clock p. m. At 3 o'clock, His Honor Judge
STORY, and the District Judge were both pre-
sent, and the Court was opened by an i'm
pressive prayer from the Rev. Mr.. DUMoNT.
The presiding Judge then very briefly ad-
dressed the Grand Jury, in his usual happy
style, observing that, as there was no bus-
ness of criminal nature to engage their at
tention as Grand Jurors, he should not go in
to full detail of the duties which by law de-
volved upon them as the Grand Inquest of
the District. The great mass of business
now on the Civil Docket, he remarked, which
required every moment of time the Court
could avail itself Of during the week, render
ed it improper for him to go into a minute
recital Of the number and nature of offences
against the laws of the United States which
came within the investigation of the Grand
Jury. After the Judge had concluded, the
Grand Jury retired for short time, and re-
turned without making any presentments.-
The Court then commenced the trial Of caus-
es on the Civil Docket, which is unusually
large, owing to all the business at the No
vember term having been continued over to
the present term, in consequence of the alb
sence Of Judge Story in November, he being
engaged at that time in the Circuit Court in
Massachusetts,, on the trial of the pirates.-
On Tuesday morning, an important cause
came on for trial between Samuel Jencks,
Agent for the fremont Stage Company, and
Robert B. Colman, Captain of the Benjamin
Franklin. The trial occupied the whole day,
and was closed at so late an hour in the eve

the Jury until yesterday morning. The

THE Dying DECLARATION OF THE Pirates.
The Catholic Sentinel" of Saturday, con-

written in Spanish by Captain Gilbert, and
signed by his companions. The substance of
it was delivered from the platform, few
minutes before their execution, by the Rev.
Mr.. Curtin, one Of the Catholic Ciergymen

"Americans! we, the undersigned, were
reduced to this sad and ignominious fate, by
misfortune, not by guilt. In this world, we
have nothing to hope but in the next, we
confidently expect salvation from the benign
mercy of our Heavenly Redeemer. Then,
Americans, we declare to you with our dying
breath, that we are innocent: and we now
aver so in the hearing Of that God before
whom we must in few moments appear =
but our souls will not, at that sacred tribunal,
be charged with debasing the last act Of our
lives, by the utterance of falsehood. We
speak the solemn truth,-we are not culpa.
ble,-and we reiterate here, under the gal
lows, what we declared on our trial, "that we
die innocent men," May God forgive those
who brought US to this fatal end, as we now
freely do /; and we leave the world in peace
with all men. Farewell, Americans !!
