TUNNEL UNDER THE ALPS. The Sandman
government has decided to commence the work of
tunneng the Alps, to complete direct line of rail-
way communication between Boulogne and Venice
and Ancona. The mountain chain is elevated 900
lee ana presents an nsurmountabe barrier to reach
Italy by railway, unless subterranean passape i
pierced through. The chief engineer, ChegaIier
Manns, has been five years making surveys and cal
caahons, and the Commission 10 whom the result Of
ms labors was referred, have reported f1voraby II
I estimated that the tunnel will be nearly seven
English miles in length, will require five years %
complete It, and cost something under three millions
OF doilais It's greatest height is to be 10 feet and
width % feet. We should Judge that the cost must
be ultimately many times greater than the estimate
ara me time required for the work much longer
We DO not notice any thing in the statement con-
Corning the ventilation Of the tunnel, which alone
we should suppose would cost more than the whole
estimate.

his contract by keeping liquor-that he was adore

CARACAS, Nov. 8, 1850.
Meeting of the Electoral Colleges The result as BE-
fore rspo,ted, &c, &c.
The electoral colleges of the several provinces
assembled, and gave their votes for President, on
the first of October, the law directs. The whole
number of votes TO be given were 3l3. For choice
OF President 229 were necessary. General Jose
Gregorio Monagas obtained POI votes; Senor An
tonic Leocadio Guzman, 65 votes Estanislao
Rendon, 30 votes; Jose Ruiz, l6 votes; Jose Var
gas, vote; A. Navarte, vote.
No returns have been received fromsGuayama,
which province is entitled to 10 votes; 10 OF the
electors were absent, and consequently lost their
votes. Should the college of Guayama cast their
entire vote for Monegas, he would not obtain
constitutional majority by Is votes, il requires a
two third vote TO elect the President
The matter now goes 10 the Congress, which is
to meet on the 10Th January, ls5l. That body
must elect the President from the three candidates
which obtained the largest number of electoral
yotes-Monsgas, Guzman, and Rnndon and the
one who bribes the highest will be elected Gene
raj Jose Gregorio has had the advantage of the in
fluence OF Jose Tadio Monagas, his brother, the
present President, in the late elections. Guznan
is the Vice President, and should the election not
take place on the first day Of the meeting of Con-
gress, (Jan 20) the functions of the President will
on that day and the Vice will exercise those
functions until fftsldeLt IL elected. Gulnan Is
man OF considerable talent, and so IL Rendon, the
senator ffom Cumana.
There are strong suspicious that we may haye
disturbances at the time Congress meets, but We
hope for the best. The family of the President, I6
in number, embarked al La Guayra, aboard
family residence. on the 9Th inst. Business Is at
stand still, and likely TO continue until the crop
season. SAX ANroyTA
