METROPOLITAN RAILROAD.

Messrs. EpIToRs You have labored for a number of
years, in conjunction with others of your fell
low-cizens, to effect railroad connerion between the
great West and the capital of the Union After repeated
solicitation the Legislature Of Maryland has
aid and granted charter to allow railroad be built
connecting with the Baltimore and Ohio road Har-
per Ferry thus in fact connecting the city of Washing
ton directly with Cincinnati and St. Louis and all the
railroads of the far West destined reach perhaps in
five or ten years, the shores of the Pacific ocean.
The charter has been obtained the Commissioners have
met and appointed day for opening subscription books
for the stock These few have given their time and
attention without pay for the benefit of the whole city,
while the majority of the citizens have yet dene little
or nothing to promote this important work Now OPP
poruniy offers for each citizen come forward and lend
hand to subscribe the stock The Of the charter
favorable the shares but fifty dollars each only
five dollars be paid at the time of subscribing and three
years to pay the balance, which only $125
per month. This arrangement will allow every aborng
man in the city to own share, and he will find it is
the best Saving Bank" in which he can deposite his
money for instead of four per cent will probably pay
ten per cent.
Besides paying good dividends the road will bring bu-
sness to the city, and thus the demand for labor
and will also increase wages the road therefore, the
cause Of producing the to pay for its stock
and is thus clear gain to the whole community The
charter is favorable and the capital small that capt.
tasts and perhaps foreign capitalists will undoubtedly
desire to take the whole stock but it will be much
for this community if the great of the people will
take the stock among themselves then the dividends will
be paid here, and ten per cent dividend on two million
amounting to two hundred thousand dollars will be dis
tributed yearly among our population
Let each one them do he does the eectons-go
the polls and vote Let all go to the polls and let each
animate the other Let there be the long pull and the
strong pull, and the pull altogether and then the road
be constructed without the aid of foreign capital

SCENE IN THE BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS

| In the debate the Canada Clergy Reserves BILL in
the House of Lords about fortnight since expla-
took place between the Bishop of OXFORD and the
Earl of DERBY in the of which the following
occurred
The Bishop of OXFORD stated that with their ordshps
permission for moment, he would explain the allusion
the noble earl had made The noble earl have seen
that he (he Bishop of 0xford) made the auson with
smile in playful way and with intention to do what
offensive. he could only say that IL far from
his intention to offer any offence whatever Thinking the
noble earl might be defeated the direct question on
Friday and thinking that he might carry his opposition
by the amendment, he 1.-THE Bishop Of Oxford said that
the noble earl did it by the amendment. He did not
think that unparamentary. At the time he must
remind the noble earl that speak Of the promoters Of
this bill advocating shutting and shifting policy
calculated to prove offensive to them, he believed it
had proved TO his noble friends near him. lCheers
The Earl Of DERBY My lords, l accept at once the
prelae but when he tells that it is impossible for him
any thing offensive because he has smiling face
he viii forgive if quote in his presence from a we'll
Known author without intending in theeast to apply the
words to him
a man may smile, and smile, and be a villain"
TCheers laughter and some deprecatory remarks am
at loss conceive whom what say be offensive
The Earl OF CLARENDON (interposng with great
cheers. 1t is to me, say Renewed cheering 1 and
my noble friend offended by that express
sion. We accustomed hear such expressions
Repeated and prolonged cheering. We not
toned in the language of poetry hear word

Loud cheering
The Earl Of DERBY: must say, my lords that think
the interference Of the noble earl wholly uncaled for
CHEERS and especially unbecomng the position which
he at present holds in her Maestys Government for he
must say, before made of the express
sion, that was making quotation in which quite
certain the right reverend prelate would feel that
not applying to him the expression which occurred in that
quotation any more than believed after his explanation,
that he had intended any thing personally offensive to
his indignation when he becomes the subject Of personal
attack.

:" Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and
inseParabte.1
SATURDAY, MAY 81, 1853.

The London papers received by the last steamer
contain interesting account of an interview look
ing to the preservation of peace between nations,
which was lately had by Lord CLARENDON with a
Deputation from the Peace Conference Committee
IF London and Manchester The interview took
Place by appointment at the Foreign Office. The
object of the Deputation was to present to Lord
CLARENDON memorial in favor of introducing
into the treaties now pending between England and
the United States a stipulation providing for the
adjustment of any differences that may hereafter
arise between the two countries by referring the
matter IN dispute to the decision of arbitrators
The memorial stated that the subject had been
brought under the attention of the American Go
vernment by gentlemen in this country interested
in the question, and that both the Senate and the
Executive of the States had signifed their entire
willingness to adopt such stipulation if those con-
Quoting the negotiation on the part of the British
Government would concur in the measure. Mr..
CoBDEN, IN introducing the Deputation, stated that
LAS they understood, by what lately fell from Lord
Clarendon in the House of Lords that very i'm
portant treaties were now being negotiated between
Great Britain and the United States, they thoughtit
a suitable time to urge the introduction into those
treaties of clause binding the contracting parties
to re&er their differences to arbitration The Earl
Of CLARENDON replied that negotiations of i'm
portant nature were pending between the two Go
vernments, which, if successful, would place their
relations reasonable and satisfactory foot
ing. A very friendly feeling, he said had been
displayed by the American Government On the
general question he could only say that none of the
gentlemen forming the Deputation could feel more
strongly than himself the disturbances of maintain
ing pacific relations; indeed, being respon-
siblc, he might be naturally even more anxious than
they The only question to the best means
of preserving peace He was not quite convinced
that the insertion of the clauses proposed would
have that effect. He thought that the spirit of the
age, the improved feeling and good sense of man
kind, of those to whom Government are obliged to
defer than they had done, constituted better
guaranty for the preservation of peace than written
engagements. Every day that peace was preserved
rendered war more unlikely. The Deputaton then
withdrew, Lord Clarendon promising to give further
consideration to the matter.
