Orleans, Opclousas, and Great Western Railroad

the Mississippi opposite New Orleans, and runs in
a northwestcrly direction to Washington, about
one hundred and sixty miles. The entire line is
under contract for graduation and masonry, all
the rails purchased, and will be completed and in
full operation next year. Some twenty miles of
it arc already completed. This is an important

nard s. Trcunor and Patrick O'Donnohue ap-
pcarcd at the police court yesterday to answer to
the charges, the former of sending and the latter
of accepting challenge. From the testimony
of William F. A. Kelley, it appeared that 0 Don
nohue received letter, rather challenge, re-
questng him to meet Captain Trcanor the next
morning in New Hampshire, but that the letter
was signed by Major Mulcahay for Captain B. s.
Trcnnor. The witness could not say that O'Don-
nohue accepted the challenge, and It did not APP
pear that Captain Trcanor ever authorized Major
Mulcahay to write the letter. The court was of
opinion that the case was not made out, and
therefore ordered the defendants to be discharged

CASE OF LoyE.-A young man, who had
been paying attention to young lady at the
West End for some time past, undertook to hang
himself in North Charles street, yesterday, be-
hearted creature, went off Sunday and got mar
ried to another person. The disappointed one
got rope, went into the hay loft of stable, tied
one end of the rope to rafter, and fastened the
other round his neck in clumsy manner, and
then jumped out of the window. After the first
jerk, he put his hands up, seized the rope and
criek for help. Some persons who happened to
be passing stopped and cut the rope, and the rash
lover walked off as if quite ashamed.

writing on the Goth ult., says:
''No one acquainted with the subterranean inys-
teries of Rome is ignorant that second edition
of the late Mlanese tragedy has been for the last
few weeks daily apprehendcd in this city. Both
the French general and the police authorities re-
ccive daily reports Of all that is going on. The
French have about 5000 men in Rome, excel
lently disciplined, and fully prepared for action,
quite adequate to put down much more formi-
dable revolt than any that take place here Just
now--the greater part of the Liberals, and of the
inhabitants in general, being as hostile as the
priests themselves to any thing Of the kind. There
are also 5000 Papal soldiers in the capital"

The power of the New Jersey monopoly is
strikingly illustrated in the verdict Of the coro-
ners jury on the dead bodies of those slain at Old
Bridge on Tuesday; T. That jury sS was composed Of
their names to declaration acquitting the COM
pany from all blame, and casting censure on con-
ductor and engineers alone. Six other jurymen
refused to put their names to such paper. Our,
readers will who these by referring to ano-
ther column. We are informed that they thought,
as the public Think that the managers Of the mo-
nopoy are criminally culpable, and that no white
washing verdict can remove the blood-stain from
their hands. We do not say, by any means,
danger upon their road in future, and discharge
all the obligations they have assumed toward the
public; but we do say that the absence of second
track on such a thoroughfare as that they mono

for which their benefciaries and creatures may
hold them guiltless, but the public cannot
