INSPECTIONS OF FLOUR AND MEAL.
We indebted to WIN. ATKINS, ESQ.,. for the
following statement of the amount of Wheat and Rye
Flour, and Corn Meal, inspected at this Port during
the Quarter ended Sept. 80, 1915 TO which we have
added the amount inspected dur. lg the period
in 1896 and the total inspections from january LIST

economy with which the operations OF this road have
been conducted
The average cost per mile of twelve of the princi-
pal railroads of New England including their ncccs-
sary equipment may be stated at 46 0OO aud that Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad including the thir-
tv miles reconstructed during the past and preceding
years, may be taken to be about the If the
cost Of reconstructng the remaining portion of the
old track and of the alterations, progress BE-
added, the average cost Of the road would be more
than s $4,000 per mile. The average of all the ex
penscs upon eleven Of the principal New England
roads per mile by the locomotives with trains,
during the year 1916, was not less than 10 lilo cents;
and that upon the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad dur
ing the same PERIOD exclusive Of the cost OF horse
power in the streets Of the city, was, before stat
ed, not more than 50 $40 cents showing differ
ence OF nearly twenty five cents in favor Of this
road.
The average of the proportion of expenses to the
gross receipts upon the eleven New England roads,
during the year 1916, was fraction over fifty per
cent, and that Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
during the period, may be stated at not more
than ffly-two per cent. IT, IN regard TO this part OF
the comparison, the superior construction and com
parative ncwncss Of the New England roads, their
exception from the employment Of horse power in
cities, and the greater amount Of passenger traffic in
proportion to that Of burthen be taken into consider
alton, Chat on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad be-
ing s 65l9l6.4 from tonnage, and only 5 447 O2Ol4
from passengers the cheapness Of working this road
could not be denied OF all these facts and grounds
OF comparison therefore, it may be safely predicated
that, as soon the old track Of the Baltimore and
ONO Railroad shall be thoroughly reconstructed, and,
by an adequate provision of motive power and other
machinery and of Depot buildings, necessary for its
general purposes the entire road shall be placed in
finished state, the general expenses will not
coed the best economy upon any other work.

THE WILMOT PROVISO.

| The crisis which Messrs. Witcher and Stanard
thought likely to come at no distant day. and which
they thought it would be we'll enough to await, be
lore lore, performing the work OF gloriicaton OF MIR.
Polk on the Mexican War, is now upon US
MT. Sianard in his powerful speech on Saturday,
the benefit OF which we regret the country at LARGE
cannot now have, portrayed most forcbly the dan
gers impending to the Union itself, from the policy
OF the Administration in hurrying the country into
condition, which, of necessity, must bring mn n
fearful issue on the slave question
Mr. Stanard took the ground which Mr.. Calhoun
has enforced with much ability, and which
Southern men must all eventually be forced to as
sume that the war of conquest is to bring with it one
question, at least, OF the greatest magnitude to the
UnIon-a Crisis far more difficult TO control than
the Missouri question ITSELF Mr.. S. warned oen
teman not to be too hasty in rendering their thanks
Tor acts which may prove more truly sources of bit
ter regret, and which may in the end be more de
serving OF reprobatlon than praise He demonstra-
ted that the war might have been honorably avoid
ed, and that It's conduct by Mr.. Polk was feeble
and inefficient, so far furnishing the necessa nv
means OF prosecuting it vigorously depended upon
him.
Is 1t not wonderful, that amidst ali the denunci
atoms heaped upon the Wings and Wing I.egisla-
lures, the Democratic press have raised no special
alarm on this Wilmot Proviso? In what instance
have they denounced it as they are wont 10 de-
nounce the movements of Fanatics in other quar-
tiers Where is all their superabundant thunder

The resolutions Were then ordered TO be printed
Mr. Archer suggested that Monday be the day
named Tor the consideration of these Resolutions
MIR. Calhoun said he had no objection. His only
wish was that the Resolutions should be voted upon
before the three million bill The Resolutions were
then ordered to be printed, and the subject passed
from the Senate.
The manner Of this little dialogue between
Messrs. Benton and Calhoun was much more i'm
pressive than the matter ITSELF 1t was earnest and
solemn on the part Of the Senator from South Caro-
Ina and quite contemptuous upon the other side.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER
CAMBRIA.

Our Baltimore correspondent advises us, through
the Magnetic Telegraph, of the arrival of the
steamer Cambria ut Boston. She brings sixteen
days later news from Europe.
The markets for breadstuffs in Liverpool and
London have become very much depressed since
the departure OF the Sarah Sands.
The imports of flour and grain were very large.
and the supply of flour in Liverpool on the LIST in
slant was estimated at four hundred and fifty to
tive hundred thousand barrels. There was a cor
responding supply of grain in London.
Flour has declined about four shllings per barrel
from the highest point on the last intelligence
The decline in wheat is four to five shnps per
quarter of eight bushels. Indian corn declined four
shillings per quarter. eight bushels The proyi.
sion market was steady at former prices Sugar
had advanced.
The navigation laws have been suspended and
the duties RENTED. This will prevent so great n
decline in breads,ufs, and may cause lreghs to re-
cede.
Great distress and sickness prevailed in Ireland.
Scotland, England, and over the Continent
Parliament is considering motion for the sus-
pension of duty on sugars.
Lord John Russell has introduced scheme for
the relief of Ireland. appropriating one million ster-
