WASHINGTON AND New ORLEANS TELE-
GRAPH CoMPANY.-A meeting of stockholders of
this Association was held on Saturday evening last
at the Merchants Exchange, in this city, to hear
statement of their affairs from the President, Elan
Alexander, Esq, who had arrived here, on hur-
ried visit, from Washington.
3. The attendance was not numerous, and the usual
forms of organization being dispensed with, Mr..
Hyde, Director, briefly stated the object of the
meeting. Mr.. Alexander then addressed the COM
pany giving brief account of his proceedings
since the management of the affairs Of the Asso-
citation had been confded to him-a period of about
ten months-and closed by presenting statement
of the financial condition of the Association on the
2ist of March last 1t appeared from this state
ment that during the nine months of his admins
tration, the net receipts from the Line had
amounted to $50, 25S 80. The expenses had been
less than $4,000 per month, and the Treasurer
reported the sum of 1911 1885 60, applicable to the
payment of the old debts of the company The
company was now nearly free Of debt, only few
bonds remaining unpaid
Mr.. A. stated in the course of the evening, that
the amount of stock issued is about $4,000, and
that the receipts-of the line may be estimated to
average $4,000 per month-when kept in good
order-while the expenses would hardly reach
$4,000. He stated that the Directors contemplate
putting up second wire between New Orleans
and Mobile on new posts, and that they would
probably do so during the coming summer The
cost would be about $50 per mile, or $4,000 for
the whole improvement. He said that he had for
some time past been in treaty with the Directors
of the New York and Washington Telegraph Line,
for reduction of tolls between those two cities,
and there is strong probability that he will sue
coed in his object
The next election of the association will take
place in July.
The remarks of the President and the statement
presented by him, were received with much salts
faction by the meeting generally-several of the
stockholders being agreeaby surprised to find their
stock worth par, while it has been selling within
the past few weeks at go co. and even 70 per cent.
discount.
From the representations oil Mr.. Alexander, We
infer that within short time it will be about the
most valuable stock in market, and but for the
bad management under which it has, until recently
labored it would have paid large dividends long
since Mr.. A. seems to be man of much energy
and business talent, and it is to be hoped that he
will be retained at the head of the company as long
as possible.

THE SUFFERERS BY THE BURNING OF THE
BELLE OF THE WEsT-The steamer Diadem
brought to st. Louis the 2Sth ult, about seventy
persons sufferers on board the Inflated Belle of the
West. OF the seventy that arrived about sizay
Of them in very destitute circumstances.
They lost every thing they possessed or owned by
the burning of the vessel; some of them were
badly injured, scalded or burned, strangers and
without means, and yet far removed from their
place of destination. The Republican of the Doth
says: " Our citizens, we trust will be as prompt
and efficient in their relief on this as they have
been on similar occasions We would suggest the
propriety of meeting at the Courthouse, this
evening, to take action-in the matter"
In addition to the generosity and kindness of the
officers of the Dadem to these sufferers, the pas
sengers OF that boat held meeting and contributed
$50 so for their relief Ihbty-seven RUes are
already known to be lost and the officers of the boat
state that they had 2j0 passengers, or more. Al
the lowest calculation, then, the burning of the
Belle of the West was accompanied with the de.
struction of fifty human beings

We have received telegraphc summary, by
way Of Louisville, of the proceedings Of Congress
of the 9th ut.
In the House.-In relation to the expedition to
search for Sir John Franklin, Mr.. White moved
the previous question.
Several votes were taken, but without quorum.
Intellectual motions were made for call Of the
House, and to adjourn. Finally the demand for the
previous question was seconded. The question
was taken and decided in the negative on referring
the resolution to the Committee of the Whole on
the state of the Union.
The amendment Of Mr.. Hall, that the Govern
ment shall not be liable for claims for damage or
deterioration Of the vessels was adopted-yeas "a,
nays 40.
Mr.. McLane, Of Maryland, moved to reconsider
the vote, and said these vessels now belong TO the
United States, and the whole expedition ought to
be at their expense, and he intended to offer a
proposition that Mr. Grinnell be ndemnifed for his
expenses. 1t was well known there were no ships
in the navy suitable for the expedition
Mr.. Stanton of Tennessee, desired to say that
the object of Mr.. McLane was not the purpose Of
Mr.. Grinnell in making his offer
Mr.. McLane said, certainly not. He believed
he understood the whole question. He moved to
lay the motion on the table. Carried
The House then adjourned till Monday.

sNcE THE SAILING OF THE LAST STEAMER
March, the renowned Mag month Of this cline,
has cleared up the mists OF an intensely severe
winter and brought out in bold beauty, with
enough and to spare" the cerulean hue of Cali
fornia summer skies. The rains are quite over, al
least the wet season is sufficiently broken up to
awaken or restore animation in every profession
and pursuit OF life among the thousands accumua-
ted within our borders, while we are continually
reminded by every congenial circumstance, of the
presence of spring. The month Of March has not
stirring chapter of events to chronicle, yet we can
believe an earnest of life and incident to which the
opening business season will add impulse, is to be
compounded in a summary of general news.
The cupidty Of busy population has since the
sailing of the last steamer, been largely operated
upon by divers schemes of wealth. Along the
coast, from San Diego upward, the fever Of specu-
ation has ragged with resistless ugor, and the com
neneement Of the Spting tide emigration to flow
rom our cities and towns inland upon the Placer,
has been the signal for the springing of mine Of
