THE GREAT RILROAD.
We have alluded to great railroad, Tor
which Congress has been petionsd to make
grant of land; and give the reader to-day a
few details respecting the project. In the
petition sent to Congress by MIR. Whitney II
is said that the road would commence al
Lake Michigan, and terminate at the mouth
! of the Columbia River, a distance OF over
1000 miles, running through gorge III
Rocky Mountains. The cost is estimated at
$50, 100000 which it is calculated, strip oil
land sixty miles wide along the line would
pay The distance from New York to Annoy,
in China, by this road would only be 9,OOO
miles-the distance would then be travelled
in one fifth of the time which it now takes
U. S. Saturday Post.
~ Mr.. Randolph's will, by which the
slaves are freed aud have $50, 1000, has been
ratified. The case is far from settlement
however.-The heirs at law will continue lit
igatIon until they can 60 no further IN

In this case, instead of administering to the
wants and comforts of social life, woman IS
found dealing out that which has destroyed
more domestic happiness, and carried more
want and misery in its train than any other
/ evil with which the world is afflicted. Has
not woman bsen degraded enough. by the
monster!
Case fhe Bishop. The Standing Com
mite of the Diocese, Chief Justice Jones,
! Murray Hoffman and Gulian G. Wander
planck, have published report on the case,
from which we learn that it is their opinion
that the Right Rev. b. t. Onderdonk IS
still Bishop-that he has not been degraded
or deposed from his Diocese, or order, and
that the Standing CoTmiitee Of New York,
under the susper sion, has become the regu-
larry constituted ecclesiastical authority Of
the Diocese.
CASE oE You've FAssErT.-Our readers
will remember the case fyoung Fassett,who
a year or two ago, being then member oil
Yale College, MORALLY wounded Tutor
Dwight, and was afterwards admitted to bail.
At the present term of the Superior Court
Of New Haven, his ial would have regular
ly come on, but motion was made to post
ponc it, on account of his sickness Certi-
fcates from physicians were presented, sta
ting that he was unable 10 attend. The
Judge after expressing great doubt Of his duty
in the case. over-ruled the motion. The bail
was accordingly forfeited. If the matter is
to end here, it amounts TO this, that an ag-
gravated case of man-slaughier ispunished
only by finel The remark was often made,
when the bail was given, that the case would
never come 10 tiial. Fassett resides is Phil
adelphia, and his father is said to be rich
Jonr. Of Commerce.

FORTUNATE REcovERr.-A young lady
Of Philadelphia, few days since, picked up |
a pocket book in Fourth street, near Mar |
ket, which she had reason to suppose to have |
been just dropped by gentleman passing
by. She inquired of the gentleman, who
proved to be merchant from Tennessee,if
he had not lost anything, to which he with
some surprise at the inquiry, replied in the /
negative. The young lady repeated her in
quiry and suggested that he should satisfy
himself by examining. On doing this he
suddenly started and declared himself
ruined man, for he had lost his pocket book.
The book was then handed to him by the
lady. On recovering which the gratitude of
The stranger was unbourded, and on the
young lady's positively refusing to accept a
portion ofthe lost money, he insisted on pre-
sentiug her with gold watch, which was de-
;lined. The strange merchant however,
Tocred upon the lady two notes of 20 dollars
ach, being all the loose money in his pock-
It. The pocket book contained $4,000.
