Whilst unanmity and determined energy are the
characteristic features Of the anne alton party
throughout the province, imbecility and cowarily
fear are those Of the government. This fear aud
terror on the part Of the ministry, at the movement
which their own suicidal course gave life to, is
fully manfssted the letters Of Mcrsrs. Hinck-
and Baldwin, alluded to by me in my former de-
spatcbes. Events since my last. only GO further to
prove this AFFECT feeling the part of Lord Elgiu
and his advisers. Like the traveller who has fallen
in quick ssnds the greater the struggle, they make
90 free themselves the deeper they sink. All former
sbsurdties have been put in the shade by greater
one than ever yet sfiemp'ed. | sllude to he late

RArLRoADs-The Legislature Of Illinois, at its
late session, passed act to provide for a general
system of railroad interpretations but demands that
all railroads shall commence and terminate at com
mercial towns and cities in that State or at such
places where commercial towns and cities may be
built up. We once heard of a devout old gentle
man, who frequently expressed his gratitude for
the benehceRce Of Divine Providence, in always
placing navigabe river near some large town.
The Illinois Legislature appears to have about as
clear an idea Of the relations of railroads and com
mercial cities towards each other, in supposiug
that laws are necessary to connect them. The
railroad will 90 where it can be proitably made,
and freight and passengers destined to commercial
points are its only sources of profit. But ii any
body OF men are silly enough to expend their
money IN building road to a point which is not
commercial, it is nobody's business but their own,
and they can very well fulfil the tenor of the laws
by alleging that they expect town to be built up
at the terminus of their road-and who shall dis
prove it? This is superluous legislation, and cal
culated to bring the lawmakers into discredit .-

DEcEPTIONs OF SIGHT-Nolhing can be more
unsafe Than the opinions of travellers, unaccustom
ed to the use of instruments, in reference TO heights
and distances; and all engineers who have been
employed on extensive surveys, know how TO esti-
mate them at their true value. The popular notion
Of a dead level" is often equivalent to rise of
more than one hundred feet in the mile, and a
gentle ascent" to some three or four degrees.
Even a practical engineer will dstrust the evil
denees of his own sight, unaecOmpanied by instru
mental observations. The stale Of the atmosphere
eNerts a wonderful influence upon apparent heights
and distances and the best judgment may be en-
tireIy at fault This | noticed to be particularly
the case in the elevated plains of Mexico. We
would there often see an ubject-a house, rock or
point Of a mOuniain-tO all appearance but few
miles Off yet a ride Of ten miles would seem 10 bring
YOU no nearer TO il than when il was first discOv-
cred. Mr.. Guizot was induced by The representa-
lions of the commercial house of Solomon, based
on information, as they asserted, derived from an
engineer that thorough cut Of forty feet would
unite The Pacific and Atlantic oceans through the
lsthmus Of Panama, 10 dispatch scientific enFi,
neef to verify that astounding intelligence. So far
from this being true, the loves; summit found by
Mr.. Garella turned out to be 800 feet above high
tide, and that was not suitable for his purpose.
This serves to show how little reliance can be
placed on popular statements, even when backed
by the alleged authority Of an engineer,-T opO.
