We learn that the Willamsport and Amira Rail-
road Company have concluded satisfactory negota-
ton, through the agency OF Messrs. inslow, Lanier
q Co, for 5000 tons of heavy iron u.s. being the
quantity required Tor the entire incomplete portion of
the road. The whole line yet unfinished is under con
tract, to be completed at the earliest day. 1t will be
borne in mind that at Elmra is junction formed
with the great New otk and Erie Ralroad--the 6is-
lance from Elmira to Dunkirk the Lake being 1877
miles, and from E!mira to the City of New York 273
miles. Ibe gap or unmade link of railroad existing be.
tween Williamsport and the northern end OF the York
and Cumberland railroad is only about 81 miles; and
we are grahed to be able to say that recent ms rus
mental examination between these points, follow
ing the valley OF the Susquehanna river, establishes the
two and halt feet per mile throughout the whole dis
lance. A more favorable route than this could not be
desired The completion OF this gap or link besides
uniting directly with several of the most valuable
and extensive coal depostes in Penns ylvania, will
bring the city OF Baltimore within 43l miles OF Dun
Kirk and actually 80 miles to that point than the

The UPPER M1ssIssIPPI.-The st. Louis pa
pers propose convention to be holden at Bur
lington, Iowa, to make demonstration in favour
of the improvement of the Upper Mississippi
navigation. The Constructions at the lower rapids,
it is supposed, can be removed at moderate cost
and with reasonable aid from Congress by money
or land, the necessary work at both the upper
and lower rapids can be effected. This improve
ment is of great Importance to st. Louis, and to
the country adjacent to the Mississippi above the
rapids. Thus far, it would seem, that conventions
for similar OBJECTS have net been the most potent
agencies for their accomplishment.

The Hon. Robert J. Walker, late Secretary of the
Treasury Of the United States went to England on
Saturday, in the steamer Atlantic 1t is generally
understood that he goes there negotiate the bonds
These bonds are secured, not only by the ordinary
mortgage on the road, but by nearly three millions Of
acres OF most fertile land on each side of the road,
granted by Congress for its construction In view of
the very level character of the country through which
the road pssses il is obvious that The value of the
lands, when the road is finished with be fully equal to
the cost Of the road These bonds, then, are in fact
secured by Congress, by grant of public domain
equal, when the road finished, to The cost of the
