REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC
WoRKs.-This document mas excited an
unusual degree of interest 1t is from the
pen of Gov. FLOYD, late &c oGcio President
of the Board, and is pronounced by compe-
tent Judges to be one of the ablest and most
striking State papers that has ever emana-
ted from the Executive of the Common
wealth. Its length is so great as to prevent
its publication in our columns, but the Leg
islature having ordered five thousand extra
copies to be published for general distriou-
ton, it will shortly be within the reach Of
all persons interested in the subject. The
four leading railroads of the State are rep
resented by the Report as system, without
conflict of interest, and all conducting to the
general prosperity. Virginia now contains
nearly seven hundred miles of completed
railway, nearly seven hundred additional
miles are IN progress, and some three hun
dred miles more are projected and subscrib-
ed for. She has besides about 872 miles
in length of canals, and about 5000 miles OF
turnpike roads of the first order OF grade
and construction.
From the subject of Internal Improve
ment, the Report is naturally led on to those
of State Indebtedness and the finances
As means of facilitating the construction
Of the various works projected, it recon-
mends general system of free banking
With circulation based upon public secu-
rites. I. suggests that the charters OF the
present banks shall not be renewed, but that
a general law be passed, allowing any num-
Der of persons not less than fifty, with a
capital not more than one million or less
than one hundred thousand dollars, comply
ing with the provisions of the act, to be-
come banking corporations.

TRACES OF THE BANK RoBBERs.-The Ports.
mouth Transcript of Monday week states that on
The previous Sunday evening while out walking a
party of citizens found under the roots ola tree,
covered over with rubbish.a quantity ofsver plate
belonging to Samuel NJ Wilson, Esq, which had
been deposited in the vault of the Bank, and wa
taken away on the night of the robbery with the
money. In a few minutes more lot of burglars
tools were found secre.ed under log "a short dis
lance from The plate, comprising everything neces'
sarv for the successful prosecution of burglaries,
such as skeleton keyssock pickers, bits, files sc.
Further search was prevented by the approach of
night, but it was undoubtedly renewed the follow
ing day but with what success, we have not
learned.
Several persons Of suspicious character have been
arrested and tried by Justice of The Peace, and
one man named Bland, has been committed to an.
swer the charge before an Examining Court.
The Norfolk Herald says that four of the fifty
dollar notes, known from their numbers to have
been part of the money stolen. have been passed TO
Broker, in Charleston, S. C. This fact induces
the belief that the robbers Of the Portsmouth Bank
have gone South.
We wero informed by gentleman last evening,
that telegraphc dispatch had been received from
Charleston, stating that the robbers of the Ports
mouth Bank had been apprehended in that city

Public Works, that the result is more favorable
than could have beer anticipated. He recommends
tina, the western terminus be fixed at Point Pleas
ant, or the opposite bank of The Kanawha,and that
branch be constructed from The mouth of Scary
creek, on Kanawha via Guyandole, to the
mouth of Sandy. The distance from Covington io
Point Pleasant is 22S miles,and the estimated cost
including equipment and everything. $4,000 900,
or $2l ,456 per mile The branch road will be 4e
miles long, and will cost $704 800, or $l4, 65o per
mile. The limiting gradient in an easterly direc-
ton will be forty feet, and in westerly fifty feet,
per mile. Nearly fifty three miles will be level
Several tunnels will be required, the total length
Of which will be one mile and three thousand feet

Oo-The London correspondent of the Philadel
phia American anticipates extended political troub-
les in Europe during the present year. Under
date of 9Th inst, he writes:
The new political year promises TO be more i'm
portant than any one which has preceded it for a
long time. Sudden and violent changes in govern
ments are expected to succeed each other as rapidly
as they did in '4S. The struggle will be desper-
ate one between absolutism and democracy. The
people of Europe will, as Kossuth has frequently
told YOU, strike together for one common cause.
The grand demonstrations in America for Kossuth
have given fresh encouragement TO all the friends
of liberty here. Austria, Russia and Prussia mean
time, are preparing to meet their enemies. Austria
has already suspended The charter granted in '49.
| and has resolved to crush all signs Of individual
liberty She has destroyed the freedom Of munic
ipal government-she has prohibited the publicity
of legal pfoceedings-she has abolished trial by
jury-everything, in short, which was guaranteed
in 40 has been swept away and everything which
Austria LOST in '4S has been recovered. Russia and
Prussia continue to arm. EDg land stands aoof,
and Though she is completely isolated from the
other grsat powers, she will be forced 10 take a
prominent part in the forthcoming great struggle (;
but that part will be taken against France
The British Government are, however, making
preparations 10 receive Louis the Little! The he
70 Of Waterloo is directing these preparations. 1t
is well known fact that the Duke of Wellington
has lately been in daily communication with Sir
John Burgoyne, Inspector General of Notifications,
and their deliberations have been directed 10 the
best means of protecting the metropolis and the
coast in case of an invasion 1t is said that the re-
suit of their interviews was the determination TO
form around London several military camps, and
eligible situations will be selected on the Kent and
Essex banks of the Thames. Orders have already
been given 10 place Sheerness in proper state of
defence, and to have ample supplies of ammunition
and warhke stores kept in constant sia'e oil readl-
ness at The Rortifcalicns. The greatest activity
prevails at the Tower and other important depols.
The army and navy services are to be greatly aug
mented. If one may Judge from present appearan-
ces, England will be prepared 10 meet any enemy,
either on The land or on the sea.
