RAILROAD CONVENTION AT PORTLAND.

RAILROAD CONVENTION AT PORTLAND.
Wednesday was the day appointed for the meet
ing of the great Railroad Convention at Portland,
Maine. Its object is to advance the construction of
the links wanting to complete railroad communi-
cation between Halifax and Boston. In connexion
with this project, it is proposed that the Atlantic
steamers shall take their departure from Galway,
in Ireland, passengers from England being con-
veyed to that place by steamer and railroad via
Dublin. 1t is estimated that this will shorten the
passage from Liverpool to New York to about
seven days. We copy the following general out
line of the undertaking from the Boston Daily
Advertiser:

constructed from New York and Boston Portland, and

THE COMPROMISE BILL.

Our readers will perceive, by the proceediH
the preceding columns of our paper, that the @
promise Bill Gnstead Of passing, as we certainly
pected it would) has taken very sudden and
expected turn. This was no less than dropping
the great features of the bill, excepting that
which provided Territorial Government
Utah. which has passed the Senate in a sepax
form, to constitute act by itself.
After having thus disposed of the bill reported
the Committee of Thirteen, the debate was resum
on Thursday, and continued during yesterds
upon the already thoroughly sfted question of Il
admission of California. This debate occurred d
a separate bill, reported some time ago from th
Committee on Territories; and the debate havin
continued till last evening, without taking yoh
upon any material question, the Senate, worn our
with long sttngs and fruitless debates, adjourned
till Monday.
We can readily conceive the necessity for some
respite from a labor SO wearing-down as the long
and continuous sittings Of the Senate. We trust,
moreover, that recess of two days will on Mon.
day bring the Members Of that body to the Senate,
with determination to sacrifice enough of undue.
zeal for particular interests, or of unreasonable
pride of opinion, to enable them to bring their
labors to some useful and practical conclusion.
We cannot yield the hope that however difficult
and thorny the path Of progress, the Senate win
yet ultimately mature the measures necessary to
establish order in our newlyacquired possessions,
and to restore political quiet to those parts Of the
United States which-or rather, whose Reprssen-
tatives in both Houses Of Congress-have been ex-
cited, divided, and distracted on this subject
