RAILWAY CoNvESTIoN.--The railroad convcn-
ton yesterday attended by numerous dele
gates from all parts of New Brunswick, Nova SEQ
TIA, Maine, and most of the northern States of the
Union, with Canada.

His remarks were warmly appaudcd by the
meeting, especially by the delegates from the pro-
vinccs
Memorials and papers were then submitted en-
bodying resolutions, &c, adopted at meetings in
various sections of the country, upon the routes
proposed. They were read in the order of presen-
tation.
Some Of these offered money, materials, and
other facilities in aid Of the great work, and spoke
in terms of unlimited confidence and enthusiasm
with reference to il.
Letters also read from President Fillmore
Hon. Edward Everett, Hon Levi Woodbury., and
other distinguished men, in favor Of the magnif-
cent project.
To-day the business committee have reported
nineteen resolutions, the substance of which is,
that the State of Maine and the provinces of Now

Mr.. BARNUM's LAST CURIosITy.-Mr. P. It. Bar
mum, Of the American Museum, was at Crawford g
Notch House when the tempest of the 10Th passed
over New Hampshire. With his characteristic love
of the wonderful, he drove down with Mr. Crawford
while the storm was at its height, to the silver
cascade, as swollen by the floods of rain. This
riosity well gratihed, the gentlemen attempted to
return, but found their road cut off by flood of
water 80 deep that their horse found no footing
within his depth and power. They were obliged
10 wait in their wagon, hemmcd in thus by the
rent crossing the road until from Crawford's house
ropes procured, carried across TO them and
attached to their carriage, when the whole com
pany, horse, carriage, and passengers, safely
towed through the current to the other side.
The storm lasted through part of the night.
The avalanches of stone and earth from the sides
of the Notch said to be unequallcd by any since
the fatal Wiley slide of 1926 II is said that those
who watched the sublime scene sparks OF
fire flying from the rocks they were hurled
downwards, an impression the correctness Of which
our readers will estimate at their pleasure.

iucatccos accuse the English at the Belize of fur
nishing arms and ammunition to those savages,
who, on recent occasion, had actually devoured the
flesh of some of their white prisoners. The govern
ment troops have however, obtained some advanta-
ges over the enemy. An expedition Of two hundred
and seventy men, under the command of Captain
Maldonado, killed seyentytwo Indians, recovered
two hundred and seventy one captives, of both
sexes, and took twenty one prisoners, beside arms
and munitions. Another company, after cam
paign Of twenty-one days, succeeded in killing
fifty seven of the enemy. Still another killed forty
eight and captured hundred and nineteen.
Some distinguished chiefs had been captured by the
whites, among the rest Jacinto Pat, who, it was
previously reported, had been murdered.
