CENTRAL RAIL RoAD BILL Passed. This bill,
contrary to the expectations of many of its warmest
adyocates has passed both branches of theEL

the House of Commons by handsome majority:

NEWBERN-rHE CENTRAL ROAD.

Will the construction of the Central Rail Road
benefit Newbern! We might answer this question
to the opinion abroad by stating that gentleman
of Raleigh owning property in Newbern, advanced
the price of it soon the final passage of the
bill ascertained; the probability that the
improvement contemplated, will be carried OUT
ing him to place greater value on his property.
NeObern Republican.
That the Central Rail Road, to say nothing OF the
contemplated improvement of the Neuse will prove
highly beneficial to Newbern, cannot for one mo-
ment doubt; and we hope the capitalists in that
tion will get their consent at once to come forward
in aid of the work. The State has generously gone
two-thrds of the distance to meet them; and it is
now left to them to say, whether they will continue
to languish whether they will make one more ef-
fort to improve their condition.
We learn that the same advance in property has
taken place on the Cape Fear River, which is no.
ticed above by friend of the Republican. Since
the passage of the act authorizing the Improvement
of the Cape Fear and Deep Rivers tract of land in
Chatham which has been heretofore held at $500,
has been sold for $3,O00-thus showing an increase
in value of real estate of one hundred per cent We
have also heard of a tract of land on Deep River,
which contains bed of coal, and which was offered
for sale at 7OOO but since the passage of the above
act, the owner would not, in all probability, take
less than $4,000.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 70, lS49.
We receive the strangest kind of telegraphic re-
ports in the columns of some Northern papers, Some
time ago. article went the rounds the effect that
the greatest degree of cordaty and good understand
ing existed between General Taylor and Mr.. Clay,
and that mutual invitations had been PASSED for the
one to spend week at Ashland, and the other a
week at Baton Rouge 1t is at the present time hard
ly necessary to say that such good understanding
has existed or exists and that such mutual cour-
tesies ever passed between Gen. Taylor and Clay
The Lntelkgencer (2Oth January,) which arrived
here this morning, gives telegraphic report from
this city, stating that Mr. Clay was stopping at Ba-
ton Rouge, and that he had with General Taylor a
very pleasant and interesting interview. What
can be the motive for such deception we are unable
to determine. Mr.. Clay did not go on shore at Ba-
ton Rouge, and was not at the wharf more than ff-
teen mnutes-General Tay ylor went on board in COM
Pany with his old friend, Gen. Brooke who started
tor New Orleans, and was not aware that Mr.. Claw
was on the boat. Gen. Taylor saluted Mr.. CIay
very conrteousy, but was not at the moment recoG-
Missed. Some friend reminded him that Gen. Tavlor
had saluted him, and he seemed surprised He was
then conducted to Gen. Taylor, and shook hands
win MIN. The General remarked that he was sorry
to see that Mr.. Clay was not in the endowment of
such good health as in former years. Mr.. CLAW re-
piled that he was happy to find that Gen. TAYLOR was
IN the enjoyment of most excellent health This
was the amount the cordial and pleasant interview
at Baton Rouge 1t was to say the least little re-
markabe that Mr.. Clay did not know Gen Tavlor
because he is about the only man at Baton Rouoe
who wears the undress uniform and straps of Maj.

THE VOICE OF THE PRESS.

We publish to-day number of extracts from our
brethren of the Press, warmly approving the action
of the Legislature in relation to Internal Improve
ments; and we might insert others which we have
on hand, IF we had the necessary space. .at>.
The voice of the Press is almost unanimous on this
subject. The following papers may be. regarded as
decidedly in favor of the system just adopted The
Raleigh Register, Star, Times, and Standard; the
Wilmington Journal, Commercial, Chronicle, and
Gazette the Fayetteville Carolnian, and the Obser-
yer; the Hillsborough Democrat, and the Recorder
the Newbern Republican, Wadesborough Argus, Old

Weldon Herald, Halifax Republican, Smithfeld Tel
egraph, Greensborough Patriot, Randolph Herald,

vile Messenger, and Salisbury Watchman; while
the Tarborough Press, the Newbernian, the Edenton
Sentinel, the Milton Chronicle, the Rutherfordton
Banner, the Lincoln Courier, and the Lincoln Re-
publican are either neutral the subject or opposed
to it. Of the eleven Democratic papers in the State
eight are decidedly in favor of the system. -

DEATH op THE REV. DR. PowER.-It is our mel
anchoy duty TO announce to our readers the de-
cease of the Rev Mr.. Power d. d., late one Of
the Pastors of ST. Peters Church, in this city. The
sad event took place yesterday aftemoon-not en-
tirely unexpected however for he had been in i'll
health for period of two years
The deceased was native of Ireland, of highly
respectable family, and man of great learning,
piety and ability. AS a Jealous defender of the
faith which he preached he had but few equals, and
no superiors. AS an orator, he will be remembered
for the splendid erempore discourses which he de-
livered few years since, and which were reported
in the Herald and copied into journals (secular and
religious) in Europe, where they excited the eX-
animation of the most eminent Catholic dvines
His kind and charitable disposition knew no limits
in dispensing benefits to his less fortunate brethren
1t made no matter what was the country or religion
of the applicant, his bounty was literally bestowed
on all who needed it, In deeds of charity he recog-
nized no distinctions
The loes which the congregation of St. Peters
Church have sustained by this dispensation of Pro-
whence is irreparable. No more will they behold
his benignant countenance beamng with the kind
lest feelings of human nature the voice which
rung upon their ears, in exposition and defence Of
Catholic Christianity, is hushed forever. Tho
Catholic religion has lost, in the death Of Mr.. Power
an able expounder-the congregation of ST. Peter
jealous and faithful pastor-the poor well tried
and feeling friend-and society at large member
who was an ornament to it. Requiescat in pace.
