We learn that the injunction taken out against the
Hlsborough Railroad has been finally dissolved.
This removes the only difficulty in the way of
vigorous prosecution Of the work. The whole line
from Three Forks to Hllsborough, will now go for

pleton, it consummates the union Of Baltimore and
Cincinnati.

This is considerably larger than usual. It was
later than this last year when the heaviest ship
ments Of the season commenced, and continued large
throughout 1t is our impression that similar
movement will soon commence for this year. In
April 1852, the expectation Of specie amounted to
only 800 1855, in May it was nearly two millions,
and in June upwards of three millions. It would be
very extraordinary if large shipments of the precious
metals were withheld much longer
Four hundred shares Of the stock Of the North
Carolina Copper Company will be offered for sale at

The Supreme Court Of Connecticut have placed
the limitation at six months from the 2lst March for
the presentation Of claims against the Woodbury.

The amount of coal sent from the Cumberland
coal region for the week ending April I'd was, by
railroad 406 TONS by canal 4.204 tonstotal for the
week 9,GlO tons; against 1896 tons the week pre-
vious, showing falling off Of 1856 tons for the week.
For the year by railroad 81, SIT tons, by canal
q 1929 tons total for the year 80 446. The lack Of
for transportation by railroad still continues
and probably will throughout the season. The canal
is in good boating order, and the returns of the
week show small increase Of business.
The Cumberland Miners Journal of the 18th
inst. says:-"The Legislature of Virginia has char
tered railroad from Paddytown, on the Baltimore
and Ohio road to Strasburg, on the Manassas Gap
road This road will connect with the Georges
Creek road, giving the coal Of the Westernport dis
trict an outlet to tidewater at Alexandria, with
about fifty miles less railroad transportation than by
the Baltimore and Ohio road This new road is Of
the highest importance to the coal interests of that
district as affording cheap transportation for the
valuable coal which underlies it, Transportation is
so important an element in the cost Of marketing
coal that small saving per ton in the aggregate
produces great results The capital stock Of the
Manassas Coaldeld Railroad Company is s3,O0O,OO0,
and they are authorized to borrow money to the ex-
tent of one half this amount The road WILL in fact,
be an extension Of the Manassas Gap road to the
Cumberland coal region at and near Westernport.
The parties interested in this project are also, to
considerable extent, interested in the Parker Vein
Coal Company. corps Of engineers are already
on the ground

SASTo DOMINGO, Feb 20 Some short time since the
Portuguese schooner Ceres we'll known SLAYER. and

cal government in spite OF existing treaties, satisfied
itself with warning her off She proceeded to Porto

Trinidad de Cuba Hosever the authorities OF that
small place acted with praise worthy zeal and
