Nem Projects in Congre;s-A railroad from
Mssc uri to San Francisco-a telegraph line
for the same disance-a line of steamships

the Sandwich Isands-a naval intervention to
prevent Russia from overcoming liberty in Eu-
rope-Brtish outrages in Central America
the illegal Imprisonment and condemnation of
Mr.. Thrasher in Havana, will soon be taken up
by Congress, and give plenty of work to that
body to perform.

A Feeling Judge.-An individual having
been convicted upon rather slight evidence. the
Judge proceeded to pass Judgment as follows
aPrisoner at the bar! You. have been found
guilty by jury OF yonr countrymen Of crime
which subjects you to the penalty Of death.
You say you are innocent; the truth Of that
assertion is OILY known to yourself and God.
1t is my duty 10 leave you for the execution
If guilty, you richly desere the fate that awaits
you. Ifinnocent, it will be a qualification to
feel that you were hanged without such a
crime on your conscience. In either case you
will be delivered from world Of care"

The Depopulation Of Irelaad.-The rapidity
with which the depopuiation Of Ireland pro-
ceeds is only cognizable by view of the de-
serted territory. A correspondent Of a Lon
don paper says:
aIn district of some twelve miles of coun-
try, at the Kilkenny sidesof the County of Wa
terford, the population have aitoge;Les disap
peared; there was not, he says, a huulan face TO
be seen during drive Of Two hours: the very
dogs had deserted and the place looked as if
some pestilence had swept away all traces Of
the Inhabitants. As one of the aluraI conse-
quences Of the Celtic exodus. the profession
Of the law is nearly annihiated nall H. b anci
es-barristers and attorneys are threatened
with one common ruin. The Encountered
Court has all but swallowed up Ci'ancery, with
its very long fees and longer delays and vexa-
tons. But the ruin does not stop here. Where
there are no more people there can be no lit-
cation; and this dsagreeable fact is made pain
fully evident four time a year at the prescribed
sittings of the Courts of Quarter Sessions.
