TIE AETR0PoLIrAY RAILROAD.

The Commissioners appointed by the Legislature
OF Maryland to give effect to the Metropolitan Rail
road charter have already taken the preliminary
steps in the discharge of their important duty.
Their proceedings will be found below. This
promptitude, and the zeal which appeared to ami
mate the respectable and leading gentlemen assem-
bed yesterday from the counties through which the
road is to pass, augur well for the success of this
interesting project. This road, as we have hereto
fore remarked, we conceive to be one of the most
important works of improvement now on foot in
any part of the country, 1t has become public
want; and whatever object becomes such in this
country is bound to be done AS it is important
and will be the highway for annually increasing
thousands Of travellers to say nothing of its great
agricultural and commercial CUSTOM so must it be
profitable to those who build and own it, AS an
investment we should consider nothing to be more
safe less precarious than the stock of such

1T thus appears that the country has added 10
its metallic currency in one year and three quar-
ters, over So ,oo0,ooo an amount greater than
the average stock OF coin previously held by all
the Banks in the Union. This statement does
mol include the receipts Mt New Orleans and 9th
erpoint-, which would considerably increase the
amount.
at is remarkable thatin no single month of the
current year, have cur exports of coin been equal
to the receipts at the Mint.
''Now,in n gold producing country, the export of
gold is part of its legitimate trnde-as much so
as of eotton-and the fact of such export cannot
correctly be assumed as proof that the balance of
trade is against such country, until It's exports
Of coin ereeed its prodaet-in other words, until
it is actually diminishing its regular currency in
payment of its debts. Such has been the case
with England for many months past Her total
stock OF coin has been undergoing a constant re-
daciioa, showing that the balance of trade is tenn
porarly against her,-at least apparently so,-
since she has not vet realized the proceeds of dis
tant shipments. Not SO is it with the L. States
Our stock of coin, as demonstrated above, has
been steadily accommodating. We have not been
obliged to export gold to the extent of our receipts
The Inference is, that the balance of our trade
cannot be much, if any, against the country; and
this inference is supported by the official tables
of our commerce. so far as published. These IN
dictate That the balance of our whole trade for the
last six years is very nearly even.
AS to the debt of the country in Railroad bonds
in the first place; most of the bonds will not ma
ure in less than ten to twenty years, and our cur
rent Indebtedness is only for the interest. And
in the aggregate, the Railroads of the United
States are earning not only the interest ON their
bonds, but also are paving good average diyi-
dends their stock. But that is not all The
Railroads adding to the annual products of
the whole country an amount of exportable values
far exceeding the whole interest ON their bonds
held abroad. The idea that good diyidend-paying
bonds going To be sent home and forced off
ON this market, is but the conjuration of an un-
reasonable fear 1t has not been done, and will
not be. The more disturbed the peace of Europe
shall be- the more valuable will be our securities
to her Capitalists and if peace continues they
will certainly keep them. The only danger is,
that they will buy them too freely.
The result of any general survey of financial
affairs thenis, that the country abounds with all
the elements of prosperity.
The severity of the present pressue has arisen
from the habit of the Banks of keeping far toe low
stock of specie. This has been their own mis-
management induced by desire for excessive
profits And il is unfair, by sudden and violent
change in their course,to visit upon the public the
effects of their own misconduct. 1t is surely high

stion her wealth, and her youth, has been the
heroine OF many novel adventures since the trag-
ie deaths Of her brother and husband. The French
and Belgian newspapers have found in her a per

English nobemnn who had sought her hand willed
her all his property, and died soon after. Others
travelled 10 lay their hearts at her feet like pill
grims going To Mecca. Several times she has
been on the point OF contracting an advantageous
marriage, but by some means or other il has as
often failed. At last Justice has been seized of
her as lawyers say. One of of her relatives has
cited her before the tribunal for the singular mode
IN which she administers her affairs. or, in other
words, ii has been discovered that she is leading
a dissolute life, that her mind is slightly turned
that she is fast squandering her property, and
